Old proverbs and sayings may often be made, To bear with effect upon matters of trade ; And MOSES and SON, fully conscious of this, Have thought the above wouldn't answer amiss, And you all may be firmly convinced, if you will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In quality's field they have gleaned for success, And in proof they would point to their durable dress. Was ever such quality sects in attire ? Have make and material ever ranked higher? No, reader, you cannot dispute, if you will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In the fair grounds of Fashion they also have sown, And elegant fruits of their labours are shown : The Trousers, the Waistcoats, the Dress-coats and Frock, And the juvenile styles which distinguish their Stock, And all that assists the grand dress-mart to fill, Are proofs that in Fashion there's " grist for the mill." And look at the savings the public have made, By supporting E. MOSES and SON in their trade. Their dress-mart is ruled on economy's law — A law from vrhieh MOSES will never withdraw ; And all who have favoured, and favour it still, Have declared Messrs. MOSES bring " grist to the mill." N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique, and the vrorkraanship and materials are such as to command univer sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo derate.

EAST INDIAN RAILWAY. A special meeting of the proprietors was held yester day at the London Tavern to receive a report from the directors; Mr. 11. A. Agliouby, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the directors, in compliance with a resolution of the last meeting of proprietors, held on the 18th of April, made a call of 2/. per share in order to place the board in a position to effect the deposit of 100,0001. with the East India Company by the Ist 01 May. The period intervening between the date of the call and the time fixed by the East India Company for the payment of the deposit was so short as to leave little ground for expectation that a sufficient sum to enable the directors to complete the deposit would have been received. On the 29th of April the call of 2/. per share was paid on 10,062 shares, many more shareholders ex pressing their desire to pay if a little extension of time were allowed. At the same time the directors, acting in conformity with the second resolution of that meeting, urged upon the Court the sense entertained by the meeting that it would be impossible, under existing circumstances, to increase the list of their proprietary to an extent necessary to the immediate outlay of the sum of 3,000,000/., as required without an increase in the rate or term or guaranteed interest. The Court of Directors, in reply, declined either to extend the period for making the deposit or to increase the rate or term of the gua rantee. The project of commencing the work in two sections simultaneously, at a cost of 3,000,000/., origi• nated in the Court of birectors, and the board always felt that the expenditure of a smaller sum might in the first instance be advisable, and be made productive to the proprietary and the public. Under these impres sions the directors addressed a letter to the Court on the subject, and on the 4th of July the Court replied by letter, that on a review of all the circumstances of the case, they were prepared to accede to the proposition for executing a portion of the line between Calcutta and the north-west provinces, upon condition that a sum of 60,000/. be forthwith deposited in the Com pany's treasury, and that satisfactory proof be ad duced within four months from the date of this com munication that the railway company will be able, through their registered shareholders, to raise the capital, namely, 1,000,0001, so as to carry out the under taking without delay and in an efficient manner, with a distinct understanding that the East Indian Railway Bill now before Parliament must be withdrawn. The report stated that the first call of 1/. had been paid on 37,441 shares, and the capital thus represented amounted to 1,872,0001., but as the shares are to be treated as 20/. each, the capital actually represented amounts to 748,880/. The directors believe that if the deposit be made with the East India Company, the list of sub• scribers will be augmented in Europe and India. It ap pears the funds now in hand amount to 63,3861. The last call was paid on the understanding that the amount would be returned to the proprietary if the deposit of 100,0001. were not completed before the Ist of May, or any extended time that may be allowed. With their ac quiescence the funds in hand are sufficient for the pur pose of making the deposit, which will immediately en title those who have paid the calls to interest at the rat, of five per cent. per annum from the East India Com pany. The directors congratulated the proprietors on having arrived at a state of negotiation involving the prospect of a practical result. The CHAIRMAN said he had become connected with the undertaking purely on public grounds, and not as a pecuniary speculation. The directors had but one de sire—to advance the interests of the proprietors and that of the public. The proprietors would have to consider whether they would now abandon this great concern with a large sacrifice of money, whether they would dissolve the company, or whether they would proceed in the manner suggested by the report, and carry out that which he was satisfied would prove most beneficial to them all, and a great national object. Mr. NOAD, the secretary, read three resolutions, at the request of the chairman, which he stated embodied the views of the directors. They were to the following effect:—That the letter of the East India Company ap peared to the meeting to contain the basis of a negotia tion advantageous under existing circumstances; that the call of 21. per share made at the meeting held on the 20th of April, for the purpose of paying the deposit of 100,000/., be cancelled, and the amount be returned to the proprietors on application ; that, with a view to making the new deposit of 60,0001., the directors be re quested to make a call of 21. per share, iu lieu of that cancelled, and that the shareholders be requested to re spond to it without delay, it being understood that the amount should be returned, unless a contract was made with the East India Company to the satisfaction of it general meeting of the proprietors to be called on the subject. Captain BARBER inquired the cause of the retirement from the board of the three directors of the Great Wes tern of Bengal Company. The CHAIRMAN said that, strictly speaking, there had not been an amalgamation with that company. It was rather the case of one company unable to carry on an undertaking merging with another, both companies afterwards to procee with one common object. He lamented that there should be any mystery as to why the three gentlemen had left the board, but no reason for their retirement had been stated by them. At the time the proprietors sanctioned the arrangement with the Great Western of Bengal, it was arranged that the com pany should be dissolved, and that they should join the East India Company and regard its interest as their own. They were afterwards told that the solicitors to the Great Western of Bengal said that the company could not be dissolved without an Act of Parliament, and soon after a Bill was introduced into Parliament without the knowledge or sanction of this company, containing a number of most objectionable clauses, giving parties all sorts of compensation at the expense of this company. It was at length agreed that the Bill should go on with the objectionable clauses struck out, but suddenly that Bill ceased to exist, and the intention of dissolving the company appeared to have ceased also, He could not state whether they intended to work with this company or against it. General ..11‘LEon was understood to say that he did not quit the direction on account of any wrong pro ceeding on the part of the board, but he objected to the enormous expenditure in sending out the staff to India. He bore testimony to the honourable conduct of all the directors during the time he had acted with them. Sir G. LARPENT said the gentlemen referred to had joined the direction in August, and he could only refer to the report presented to the proprietors on the 15th of February last, to which these gentlemen's names were appended, stating the circumstances under which the staff was sent to India. He thought this report pledged those gentlemen to that measure. ile felt throughout his connexion with this company that the promotion of their object was a most important one both for India and this country. A long discussion ensued in reference to certain anonymous pamphlets and publications reflecting on the directors, which was disposed of to the satisfaction of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions from Mr. Brown, explained that the line to be executed by the company had still to be arranged with the East India Company; arrangements were pending for a compromise o ‘ w v i h t ( h 1 ins th i e s i t r ed s tostiff,th:qet the n h tire fulfilmentonly exception requireofof a the s me portion co n contract. gentlemen eftheiri they proceeded,they would staff, e3 7 )(m e n s )p e cla t , i (n) t oyo wI. erine sT r leo h aw i d e which of u had ni d,oou b (p e l ti n iolinoiaß e eris. t i engaged aei e ns d aohl pedlp_ fora ieoeps%oill is: line tbiyof f thetii s e f . per share would cover their expenses.

BY SAMUEL I.A'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of A p othecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Itospital Medical Society, Ste. marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always ininrions ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consenucnce of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account an f of the Anatomy and I'hyoiology of the Reproductive Organs, d o their relative conditions in health and disee. Ideservedly requires the closest attention and study, fo as r what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking ;or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the atedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that lie is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a sol p c u ly bl t t o sh t e h d e b t y re th at e ra A en u t th o o f r t , h a es n e d diseases.

We return to th i e lt;:hetbe.o c rul o vsta n li s s i o d m er e ation of this important question. Mr. Humphrey Brown has, in his " Irish Wants and Practical Remedies," arrayed a great mass he is facts traffic i cs oc on the etdshuepppo uponr r o t p h ot i so s e dvi give e r w a ishvoan3.sl, estimatesrhi s e h railways. hoafs psrtoars showing the ttpthhi at neas d nsae e etn g tdegr r su e i. degree credibility which attaches It t is prejudice proverbumpdaeiren perfectly typicalg‘oirtiareui j oee, w ef rattdeyhaeptai prospective esti mates" s ti Ai bhoctviynhaees ,en at greater t m e s s u a ' ' e t have e h ps aor disappointmentestimates. years • exceeded by the actual cost, but some allowances arc to be made. It is to be remembered that the price of land was enhanced, increa se d stat i on accommodation was required, the cost o f labour increased,she weight of rails was raised, the price of iron run up by the iron -masters, and the size, power, and value of locomotives and stock were likewise aug mented, but no allowance was made for the engineer. It is true there has been a great increase in the estimate of cost ; but there has been a still greater increase in the estimated income. Indeed, it was the increase of traffic which manifested itself on railways earlier opened which caused the e xpenditure on the others. The engi ittiheerears a e i d lw engi neer, who had made his ca l cu la t i ons to accommo date a small traffic, found that he had to provide heavier locomotives and more frequent trains ; that the rails which he had calculated at 45Ibs. per yard must be made to 701 be.; and that where he had laid out two acres for a station he , must have five, and build workshops for engin es, sheds for carriages, store houses for goods, and pens for cattle, the extent of which The on y iwhich havera railway so m u l ch f e r xc w, e , e e d have a t v h e e iscothnatetmtphleatestdatedre c t i , u x i p r e e n m s e es n of working our railways on the" competitive" system m a y, fo t u .all r a i e )r ious. five years thers companies have fallen in this country may be easily rsoamtheerhence, errors be o foundt w avoided by legislative assistance and the exercise of a little commercial common sense. Mr. BROWN has given some calculations which show the increase of actual traffic over the original estimates in a very strong light. The Midland Railway, as it is now called, is an amalgamation of three lines, the Bir mingham and Derby Railway, the North Midland Rail way, and the Midland Counties Railway. For these the total amount of the original estimates given i❑ by the projectors and the statisticians are shown below, together with the actual traffic from the Parliamentary returns of 1845 Estimated Number number. realised. Passengers ••• ••• 550,985 1,809,145 Cattle - 9 44 30,000 Sheep ''' —•— ... 27,105 120,000 Merchandise by land ... tons 151,155 371,154 Coals by water ~. ... tons 285,000 313,854 Thus it will be s een that under each head a vast in crease has taken place, and yet a great amount of goods and coals is still carried by water. In the case of the Manchester and Leeds Railway the same results are seen:— Estimated Number Passengers .., number. realised. ... . 207,588 1,674,946 •• Goods by land and water, tons 358,958 507,852 The whole quantity of goods carried before the Manchester and Leeds Railway was established was 106,486 tons, and now 5 07,852 tons are carried by rail way, which is more than the whole amount before car ried by road and canal together, whereas the traffic on the canals remains. The Midland Railway is a line now under Mr. Hud son's management. The York and North Midland Rail way was constructed under his eye, and has been inanaged by him throughout. Before this railway was begun the whole traffic in goods and coals was as follows:-- Merchandise by land • .• 5,547 tons If by water ... 95,100 Coal by water ... 99,000 Altogether '•• '•• 198,647 tons The quantity of goods and coals now carried on the York and North Midland Railway is 351,022 tons; the water traffic, as in the other cases, being still carried on. The number of passengers estimated was 185,660; the number carried in 1845 was 464,755. This is worth being borne in mind, because Mr. Hudson has always been a mark of attack, as keeping up high fares. That he must have increased the public accommodation is evident from the fact that 279,095 more passengers were carried in 1845 than before the railway was constructed, viz., au increase of 150 per cent. The South-Eastern is one which has been much com plained of. The result stands thus:— Estimates-317,252 p assengers 63,079 t ons goo d s . Returns-1,477,892 ditto The Great Western Railway has been attacked for want of accommodation, and high fares. Here we find— Estimates-821,145 passengers 150,710 tons goods. Returns-3,876,222 ditto These figures include those of the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways. Having taken these data as a sufficient guarantee of the validity of estimates of railway traffic when made by competent parties, Mr. Brown proceeds to give, from materials us his own, returns of traffic in thirteen dis tricts in Ireland. The total length of railway which would supply these districts is 411 miles, and as a further guarantee of the accuracy of these returns it may be . mentioned that th ree of them refer to lines of railway of a total length of 901 miles, or nearly one-fourth of the whole for which Acts of Parliament have been obtained, and the works of all three of which are in progress. We perceive that it is not Mr. Brown's object to re commend any of these lines for execution. He only brings forward the statistics which he had in his pos session, and which illustrate satisfactorily the resources of Ireland. In these thirteen lines cr districts the estimated traffic is— Passengers ... ... •• ••• ••• £2,206,534 Agricuttural produ c© and building mate. rials. ••• ••• ••• ... tuns 361,053 Goods and Merchandise ... .•. tons 274,420 Merchandise, and agricultural produce by water ... ... ... ... tons 118,587 Nlinerals and coals ... ... ... ... 273,977 horses and catttle ... ... .. ... 483,572 Sheep and pigs .•. ••• ••• ••• 461,791 The total estimated traffic on 411 miles of road is as follows: Passengers ... £2,206,58.1 Goods._ ... tons 1,028,270 The total estimated traffic on 702 miles English rail way was:— Passengers ••• .£3,058,759 Goods ... tons 736,448 The total traffic realised in 18 , 13 was : Passengers £8,625,360 Goods... tons 2,045,251 The excess of traffic over the estimates is : Passengers £5,536,601 tons 1 , 308 , 807 The per tentage of this excess of traffic is respectively 160 and 170 per cent. Now putting aside all considerations of the cost of the railways, and of the return on the capital, and consider ingexpended, for the mom en t th at there is no money return , an d that there is a lo ss o f the whole capital how great is th e national benefit from the construction of these 702 mil es o f ra il way in England? Fi ve an d a half millions of persons, an d 1,300 tons o f goo d s carried annually, for which before no accommodation was pro vided! In a national consideration of the questions, such are the right figures to be taken, and not the mere pounds, shillings, and pence. Mr. Brown dwells for cibly on this as the right application in the case of Ire land. lie contends that great results are to be effected, industry is to be promoted, employment provided, and the resources of the country increased. If we apply the above figures to the whole of England , where 3,830 miles of railway are now opens we s hall by . able to draw the conclu s i o n th at near l y 40,000,000 of persons and 7,000,000 tons o f goo d s are year ly carried by railway over a space of some 20 miles, and for which be fore there was no such accommodation. It cannot be denied that the benefit accruing to the business of the country from these results must be very great, and they certainly justify Mr. B rown ' s p o li cy i n ad v ocating a similar system for Ireland. Mr. Brown, however, is not contented with the bare assertions that more agricultural labourers and more tons of produce are carried, but he devotes himself to establish th e f act t h a t there is a posi tive increase in.the supply of food. THE MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF IRELAND. This stupendous undertaking is advancing rapidly towards completion, and will, it is expected, be finished to Mullingar early in the ensuing month, thus opening up one of the richest veins through the interior of the country, and will (independent of promising a large re turn to the present shareholders) be of immense advan tage to the farmer and grazier, by offering a quick transit for their cattle and produce to the Dublin and Liverpool markets. The income of the company hitherto has averaged 1,0001. per week, or 50,0001. per annum; and that amount, it should be remembered, is exclusive of the charge for the conveyance of the mails, as yet not taken into account, but which, when finally arranged, will pro bably produce to the company from 14,0001. to 15,0001. per annum in addition; therefore, it may be fairly concluded, when the line produces so much at present._. though only partially opened, and to a place of no note —the income, when open to Mullingar, will be more than doubled, passing, as the railway will, through the very best part of Ireland, and combining also the double advantage of two modes of conveyance—viz., the canal and rail—an advantage, by the bye, which no other railway iu Ireland can boast of. The proprietors, therefore, have every ri g h t to anti cipate a considerable improvement in the value of their property, which has been hitherto so much depressed, from various co-operating causes; and to hope from the above gratifying statement, together with the present cheering prospect of the coming harvest (for which all should be thankful to Providence), that their affairs will gradually improve. Much credit is certainly due to the board of directors. for their unceasing exertions to forward the works, during a period of monetary depr essi on and com merc i a l distress unexampled in the histo r y of these countries— the advantage of which should be gratefully acknow ledged by the present proprietors.—Mercantile Adver tiser.

DUBLIN, JULY 17.—The club organization is daily assuming a more alarming aspect—more secret in the mode of proceeding, but more concentrated and syste matised, whilst branch clubs are extending far and wide into the rural districts. The recent proceedings in Waterford and Limerick, in connexion with the prose cution against Mr. T. F. Meagher, have shown how dif ficult it is for the leaders to restrain the clubbists from a " premature outbreak." This may be considered madness, and it is nothing short of insanity; but the evil is not the less dangerous; and if some decided steps be not taken for the suppression of the clubs, the most deplorable consequences may be apprehended. The Government, it is well known, has been watching with great vigilance the progress of the club system. Letters from various parts of the south state that earnest representations have been made to the authori ties regarding the dangerous prospects of those con federacies, and the apprehensions prevailing in conse quence. There are reports of fresh prosecutions to-day. It is alleged that Mr. Meagher is to be prosecuted under the Treason Felony Act for the speech delivered by him to the populace of Limerick on last Friday evening. however, no reliance whatever can be placed on such reports. Mr. Smith O'Brien has gone down to Drogheda, to attend a Repeal demonstration to-day. The following communication, which appears in the Evening Mail, affords a remarkable illustration of the desperate character of the movement in Tipperary:— " CASHEL, JULY 16.—Mr. Michael Doheny is just returned in triumph from the North Riding, and is now setting out, dressed in a most showy military costume, green and gold, mounted on a chesnut charger, at the head of his club (quere regiment ?), to the great rendezvous of the clubs, on the moun tain of Slievenamon, where it is expected some thousands of the army of the League will assemble this day. Mr. Meagher, of Waterford, is gone with Doheny. The opinion of most people here is that mat ters are hastening to a crisis. The League know right well, non progredi est regredi, and are therefore doing what they can to excite the multitudes to action. In good truth, Government must either put dowa the clubs, or the clubs will put down the Government, and that very speedily too."

VENDERS. At the various police-offices, this day, informations were preferred by the police against newsvenders for sel ling copies of the Nation and Felon newspapers. At the head office, Sergeant Bowen, A 91, brought a boy named Patrick Cullen before Messrs. Porter and Nlave, for " vending a seditious publication called the Nation." It appeared that he was crying va rious papers, amongst others the Nation, when the constable went up and asked for a Na tion. The prisoner denied he had one, but on search ing him the constable found a copy. The paper was handed to the magistrates, when Mr. Porter read the leading article, bearing the initials "C. G. D." After a long discussion, in which Mr. Rea, a solicitor, ap- peared for the prisoner, Mr. Porter declared that the paper was a seditious publication, and that the magis trates would send the case for adjudication before a jury. Ultimately it was arranged to bind the prisoner to ap pear to-morrow, when informations will be received. HENRY-STREET OFFICE. - Police -constable C 4S, charged Ellen Roche with selling copies of the Nation and Felon newspapers, on Saturday last, same being sedi tious and felonious publications. Mr. Kelly, the pre siding magistrate, called for the papers referred to. The constable stated that he did not deprive the prisoner of them. Mr. Kelly, therefore, dismissed the ease. COLLEGE-STREET OFFICE. Joseph Mooney was charged by B 4 with an offence similar to the above, be fore Mr. Tyndal. The papers were produced and iden tified by the constable. Mr. Tyndal said, I will send this case for trial to the next sessions. The prisoner having entered into two securities of 101. each to appear at the sessions, was discharged. THE HARVTST.—POTATO CROP.—The weather still continues most favourable. The accounts of the grain crops, with few exceptions, are most encouraging. In some districts the potato blight has certainly appeared, but as yet to no serious extent. In general the reports of the potato are very favourable, and the supplies at the markets are becoming considerable. The Rev. Dr. Wilson, who has been nominated by the Queen's Letters Lord Bishop of Cork, will be installed into his high office on Sunday next. The solemn cere mony will take place in St. Patrick's Cathedral. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WEXFORD, JULY . 15.--Yesterday Baron RICHARDS addressed the grand jury. He said—l am very happy to be able to inform you that the duties you have to per form at this assizes are light indeed. There are not more than five or six bills of indictment to go before you, and those of a light and ordinary class of crime. After the trial of three persons for burglary, and of a young lad of about twelve yerrs of age for stealing a watch, Baron RICK ARDS said—This disposes of the whole criminal business. I wish I could dispose of the county Tipperary as easily. The Court then rose. FERMANAGH—ENNISKILLEN. JULY 14.

THE MAIDEN'S LEAF.—A daughter of the first Earl of Gowrie was courted by a young Highland gentleman, much her i n f er i or i n ran k an d f o rtune. Her family, though they gave no encouragement to the . match, permitted him to visit them at the castle of Ruthven, in Perthshire, and on such occasions the chamber assigned to him was in a tower, near another tower in which his lovely mistress slept. On one of his visits, the young lady, before the doors were shut, gotinto her lover's apartment, but some person of the family, having discovered it, told her mother, who, cut ting off all possibility of retreat, hastened to surprise them. The young lady, however, hearing the well known steps of her mother hobbling up stairs, ran to the leads, and took a desperate leap of nine feet four inches, over a chasm of 60 feet from the ground, alighted . on the battlements of the other tower, whence descending into her chamber, she crept into bed.

CAPTURE OF A GANG OF RlvEwßhorfolrßAaTleEnScr.—th During the past week a gang of thieves , . . - length of time have successfully carried on predations on the Thames, e on bee t n hei c r ap u t i u g r h e t d i y , and d now await their trial. On Friday one of the party, who gave his name Thomas Brown, was brought up for ex amination at the Guildhall, Rochester, before the Mayor and a full bench of magistrates. The captain and mate of the Sea Nymph identified the prisoner as one of a gang with whom they had scuffled on board their vesse l on Monday. The prisoner was fully committed for trial, and his companions, who underwent an examina tion at Gravesend on Monday, on various charges of robbery committed on the Thames, have been conveyed to Maidstone Gaol for trial at the assizes. NEW REMEDY FOR ASIATIC CHOLERA. --A earn _ munication has been made by Mr. Guthrie to the 1;,, v - a l Medico-Botanical Society, in reference to a new mode of treating Asiatic cholera. hitherto this formidable S- to e. dis ease has resisted nearly all the e ff orts of medical skill ar rest its progress or to miti gate i ts virulence. It has been the opprobrium medicorum; but now, lieve the statements by medical 1 wef may be • men Circassia, a remedy has been found both simple and efficacious. This is naphtha, a drug hitherto little used in the treatment of disease. The virtues attributed to it are truly won derful —arresting the copious diarrhoea, rousing the vital powers, and restorin g warmth to the surface,' previou s ly chilled with the coldness of approaching death. The new remedy, ho wever, requires the sanction of ex perience before it can be looked up to with confidence by the physician, and it will be his duty to give it, the first opportunity, a fair trial. S Tr / NAVAL IN .LLIGENCE. PORTS3IOUTU, JULY 18.—Captain Sir B. Walker, President of the Office of Surveyor of the Navy, is, ex eted here this week to survey the fleet in ordinary at this harbour. Mr. Edye and Mr. Watts, assistants in the above , ve office, are to survey the Colli ngwoo d , 80, when paid off and docked, she having been found to work very much at sea, according to tee report of Rear-Ad miral Sir George Seymour, lately commanding on board her ; and two of her beams giving, by th e re p ort o f the ship's carpenter, sunk between the main and fore masts on the gun deck. The Collingwood will be paid off on Thursday. Ho T b h a e rt Fly n l4, Cm . Irn o n mandr R. A. O Diemen's e Land, from a m, England,rrived on on the 16th of March. The Diligence naval transport was towed out of har bour this morning by the Rocket, and sailed with stores for the eastern yards. The Stromboli arrived from Lisbon this afternoon, which place she left on the 13th of July. The Iphige nie, French frigate, was the only man-of-war there. The screw -steam-vessel Rifleman, tender to the Power' ful, having had her screw replaced, was taken out of dock yesterday. She will, previous to her joining the squadron, have a trial of her engine round the Wight. When last at Woolwich her former engine of 200-horse power was taken out, and one of 100-horse power sub stituted for it, and it was only tried on her passage round to this port. We think it would be greatly to the advantage of this vessel (and also to the Sharp shooter) if the weight of ordnance she now carries were reduced also one-half. She now mounts an eight-inch gun forward of 65 cwt., and a ten-inch aft of 85 cwt. These guns might do very well for them if the vessels were kept in harbour, and only went round the Wight as regular gun-boat s ; b u t if use d as regular sea-going vessels, long 32 pound pivot guns would be much better adapted for service at sea. The Sharpshooter was taken into dock, at Portsmouth, when the Rifleman came out, to repair defects. The Retribution, the Centaur, and Gleaner, steamers, were taken into the new steam basin at Portsmouth, on Monday. The two former vessels, large steam-frigates, now occupy a considerable portion of the wharfage along the basin margin, and it is perf e ctly ev id ent t h at t h e basin is too small by one half for the purposes for which it was designed—that of making Portsmouth the princi pal naval steam arsenal in the kingdom. It might still be greatly enlarged by taking into the basin the ground on which the two large docks to the eastward of the basin are now making and the space between them. This would make the basin 300 feet wider, and of course greatly improve its capacity for holding vessels. The Phoenix, advanced screw steam-sloop, has been tried by Captain Austen, under steam, round Spithead. She appeared to go well, but the fans of the screw worked too near the surface of the water. She caused considerable ebullition under the stern, flinging the foam and water to a considerable height. The Trident, steam-gun-vessel, Lieutenant-Comman der Risk, arrived at Portsmouth, on Monday, from Wool wich, and embarked 60 men of the Marine Artillery, under Captain Parks and Lieutenant Mawby, with whom she sailed for Pembroke. Captain Parks relieves the detachment at present serving at Pembroke, under Cap tain Dwyer. TUE SQUADRON OF EXERCISE.—The St. Vincent, 120 guns; Prince Begent, 92; Bellerophon, SO; Blen heim, 55; Amphion, 34; Tweed, 18; Pilot, 12; Frolic, 16; Helena, 16; and Racer, 12; were off Portland at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, making westward. The Hermes steam•sloop, navigated by C. Bellamy, Esq., the second master attendant of Portsmouth Dock yard, left that harbour on Monday night for the Clyde to rig and navigate her Majesty's new screw frigate Daunt less, of 24 guns, to Portsmouth. The Hermes embarked the extra men who assisted in navigating the Colossus, 80-gun ship, for Pembroke. The Collingwood, 80 guns, Captain Smart, K.H., will be put out of commission to-day at Portsmouth; as will the Kingfisher, 12-gun sloop, at the same port. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. Clerk—W. J. Hall to the rank of Paymaster and Pu rser. Lieutenant Commander Edward Hill (b) to the Dart Brigantine, on the western coast of Africa, vice Glinn. Lieutenant—John Townsend to the Pantaloon brig at Ply mouth. Assistant Surgeon—Samuel S. D. Wells (additional) to the Wellesley, 72, flag-ship, on the Vest India station. Chaplain and Naval Instructor —Rev. A. Salkeld to the Trincomalee corvette on the West India station. Engineer—George Blaxland to Sheerness Dockyard.

Halliday, of the Woolwich Division, to be First-Lieutenant, and appointed to that division, vice Onslow. DEVONPORT, JULY 17.—The fleet under the order of Rear Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., has not yet been observed off this port. The Trident, steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Risk, which arrived here this morning from Portsmouth, left the squadron yesterday morning at the back of the Isle of Wight. It is ex pected that they will bring up in Torbay ; but only the Amphion, 34, screw-frigate, Captain W. J. Willi ams, i t is said, will come in 'sere. Sir Charles, we believe, has discretionary orders with respect to touching at any port ; and it is highly probable that he will proceed directly to his cruising ground, 10 deg. SW. of Cape Clear. Sir Charles Napier is ordered to dispatch the Racer, 12, Lieut. Commander Bacon, to Lisbon, on the 18th—she will relieve the Merlin, steam-packet, Lieut. Commander J. 11. Turner, at Lisbon, and send her to Malta, there to be under the orders of Vice Admiral Sir William Parker. The Racer will remain at Lisbon until relieved by some other vessel. The wind is now blowing dead up Channel. Preparations are being made for launching the Inde fatigable, 50, on the 27th instant. No expense is being spared in the erection of booths, &c., to give éclat to the ceremony. In these days of reduction and economy this vain waste of the public money might well be spared. Captain J. B. Sulivan has arrived here to inspect the Royal Dockyard Brigade. Commander Jerningham has also arrived here on business connected with the establishment of batteries, for the drilling the Coast Guardsmen, at various points of the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. The Trident embarks a detachment of Royal Ma rines this afternoon, and proceeds with them to Pem broke. The Canopus, 84, is to be docked to-morrow, to have her defects made good. The Amazon, 2G, is to be taken into dock to he re paired and refitted on Thursday. The Express, 6, pa c k e t-b r i g, Li eutenant Commander Lory, is completed by the dockyard, and will he ready by the end of the week to proceed to Falmouth, to take out the next mail to Brazils. The Crane, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Commander Parsons, will be completed by the 22d. The Athol, troop ship, Master Commander Pearce, sailed on Friday evening for Quebec, with artillery. The Tortoise lighter, Spearman, master, arrived yes terday with stores from Pembroke. In the Sound—Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter ; and Nautilus, 8, Commander Veitch, examining brig for the naval apparatus. .

Wood - strcist, Spitalfields. The Right Honourable Lord Ashley, ALP., in the chair, supported by Henry Roars, Esq., J. Robertson, Esq., Dr. King, Rev. J. Allen, and several other gentlemen. The report described a frightful picture of the destitution that has for years existed in this part of the metropolis. During the last winter the wretched state of the children, from want of food, be came so painfully apparent, that the committee were compelled to supply them to the extent of 300 meals a week, and about 50 of them, through the assistance of i withou t p g be en General Bradshaw and his daughter, who subscriteed 121 wer e without parents, 13 with only step mothers, for the purpose, were supplied with clothes. Amongst the number of children attending the schools it was p s o o rt w l e ia r v e found seven three the children of co , n;i le et r s, t, beds, 20 without shoes, 30 without caps or bonnets, and 10 entirely without linen. receive adopted, 20 of the children, of both sexes, provided with the wearing apparel. furnished sistance of General Bradshaw, wer . e ' by the as hymns in a very pleasing introduced, and satin' manne addressed the meeting. After r.

It raged from about two to five o'clock, and accounts are hourly being received of its disastrous results. Not a village in the neighbourhood apparently has escaped its fury, and the destruction amongst the cattle is very considerable. The crops in many districts have also suffered, and numerous farms were fired by the electric fluid. Near this city many heads of cattle were struck dead. At _Faversham, Snoad-street Farm, in the parish at Throwley, the pro perty of Lord Sondes, was tired by the lightning, and a vast quantity of this year's grain was consumed. The farm of Mr. Coleman, at East-street, Ash, was set on fire, and much of the property destroyed. Near Len ham a labouring man was killed by the lightning. He was walking across a field when he was struck dead by the electric fluid. In the vicinity of Maidstone the most fearful havoc was produced. At the county lunatic asylum, on Barning-heath, near that town, loss of life nearly ensued. The electric fluid came in contact with the lodge of the establishment, tenanted by the porter and his wife. The escape of the terrified couple was truly miraculous; but the wife is now lying in a sad way from th e e ff ects o f t h e s h oc k . Severa l f i ne oa k s in the Earl of Ito mne y' s p ar k were s h a tt ere d t o pieces. Had we space, w e m i g ht g i ve a fri g htful catalogue of the t damage done in all directions. The storm did great mischief on the borders of Surrey. At Woodcot, as many as thirty sheep were killed in a flock. THE GERMAN FLEET.--Prince Adalbert, of Prussia, has published a pamphlet on the strength of the future German navy. He estimates it at twenty sail of the line, ten frigates, thirty steamers, and on hundred and twenty gun-boats. As to the manning o the fleet, his loyal Highness says Prussia alone could supply half the seamen required. •
