Admiral Sir Henry Chads, K.C.8., one of the members of the Ironclad Committee, accompanied by his son, Capt. Henry Chads, Superintendent of the Victoria dock and victualling yards at Deptford, yesterday went down to Woolwich and inspected the battery fitments in the cupola ship Prince Albert, alluded to in The Sun of yesterday. They likewise visited the ironclad ship Pallas. They were received and accompanied in their inspection by Commodore Dunlop, Capt. Connolly, Capt. Wilmshurst, Com mander Towsey, Commander Dillon, Lieut. Pon sonby (secretary), and other officers of the yard. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Supply, Com mander Bawden, in basin at Woolwich, was yester day inspected by Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., Super intendent of the Dockyard, in preparation to her being paid off to-day. It is expected that Captain Bawden will be reappointed to the command, and that the whole of the officers and crew will rejoin• The Supply will be recommissioned immediately on her being paid off. Her Majesty's six-gun paddlewheel sloop Spiteful, This was an undefended suit by the wife for judicial separation, on the ground of cruelty. The learned oounsel for the petitioner read some letters written by the respondent admitting ill-treatment, and the marriage, which took place in 1863, having been proved, Robert John Eldridge, the son of the petitioner by her first husband, said that he lived near his mother, at Woctlville-terrace, Harrow-road, but for somo time 'Was unacquainted with the fact of her marriage. He identified the signature of both parties to the marriage register. In August last he called at her mother's and saw her with her face bound up, and in going to her room he saw the respondent lying on the sofa in a state of intoxication. His mother refused to tell him how she had received the injury in her face, and ordered him out of the house lest he should disturb the respondent. On the 23d of tho following month he was attracted to his mother's house by screams issuing from it, and he succeeded in getting in. The respondent, who had a large stick in his hand, seized his mother by the throat, and threatened to murder her, but he interfered and turned him out of the house. The petitioner and other witnesses were called, who proved the case, and in the course of examination it was elicited from the former that the ground for keeping the marriage secret was that she was intitled to between £4OO and £5OO a-year, which she would lose in the event of her second marriage being known. • Commander A. D. W. Fletcher, in Woolwich har bour, preparing for sea, yesterday sent up top-gallant masts and cross-gallant yards, and made all a-taut. Lieut. W. E. Miller, late of the Satellite corvette, from the south-east coast of America, recently paid out of commission, yesterday joined the Spiteful. Her destination is still officially notified as the coast of Brazil, for which station • she has received her charts, and to relieve the Stromboli, whose term of commission has expired. It is, however, expected that her ultimate destination will be Jamaica. The screw frigate Bristol, 3,027 tons, 600-horse power, Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, flagship of Commodore G. T. P. Hornby, recently fitted at Sheerness for service on the west coast of Africa, made her official final trial of speed yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, under the usual measured mile conditions. The wind did not exceed a force of 4, the furnaces in the ship's stoke-hole were delivered over to the charge of the trial stokers from the steam factory of Portsmouth Yard, and the fires were fed with hand-picked Welsh coal. The frigate was under way by 8 a.m. yesterday morning, and was at once taken on the trial ground. Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, had charge of the ship as the officer com manding the Steam Reserve, and the performances of the engines and boilers were under the super vision of Messrs. Ward and Murdoch, of the steam factory and reserve. The ship's draught of water, after having stowed her anchor and made all ready for running the mile, was 20ft. 11in. forward and 23ft. 11in. aft, the wind being at a force of from 3 to 4. It was from S.S.E., and there was a slight movement of water over the vessel's course, but not enough to affect her speed in the slightest degree. Under these conditions 10 runs were made, six with full and four with half boiler power, with the following results :—Full boiler power, six runs; 12.371, 10.286, 12 . 587, 9.524, 13.043, 9.549 knots ; the mean of the six runs giving the ship a true mea sured mile speed of 11.272 knots. The mean va cuum was 26k in., with the safety valve loaded at 201 b., and the revolutions of her engines were, maximum 60, minimum 58. The four runs with half boiler power gave 11.726, 7.214, 11.077, and 8.163 knots ; the ship's mean speed being 9 . 346 knots. In testing the ship in making circles, she exhibited no properties differing from the greater number of ships of her class or calling for particular remark. In comparing the results of yesterday's trial with the recent Maplin Sand trial, it will be found that yesterday the ship gained an additional speed of 0.676 knot with full boiler power, and 1.292 knot with half boiler power, a mean excess of 2 being also gained in the revolutions of the engines. The ship's machinery is from the manu factory of Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. The boilers primed somewhat freely during the trial, but other.. wise both boilers and engines worked most satisfac torily. The Bristol was expected to have sailed from Spithead for her station to-morrow, but cer tain defects in the shipwright department have been discovered; which may possibly delay her departure until Monday ntxt. The Bristol is a fine, roomy, and well ventilated frigate—considerations of no mean importance in a ship aerving on the coast of Africa. His Lordship said that acts of violence were proved not only by evidence, but by the admission of the respondent himself in the letter which he had read. The wife, no doubt, was very foolish to sacrifie £4OO or £5OO a year for such a man, but she was entitled to the protection of the Court. He would therefore decree judicial separation. There was no application respecting costs. The screw steam sloop Amazon, 4, has been placed in No. 3 dock, Keyham steamyard. The ironcased ship Lord Clyde, 24, has been re moved from Hamoaze into Keyham basin, to com plete for the first division of the Steam Reserve. The sailing frigate Flora, 40, Staff Commander John Rees, which will in a few days proceed to Ascension as a storeship, is now alongside the De vonport dockyard, receiving her bolts ; she will shortly be removed into the Sound. By the mail steamship Briton, which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, we learn that the French ship of war Lynox, from Bourbon, which arrived at the Cape Sept. 26, left on the 30th for Rochfort. Her Majesty's screw steam gun-vessel Serpent, from Plymouth, which arrived Sept. 8, left on the 27th for China. The screw steam sloop Rapid, 11, Com mander Charles T. Jago, left Simon's Bay Oct. 11, for Table Bay. The transport Mauritius, from Algoa Bay, put into East London Oct. 5, and left again on the following Sunday for Natal and Mauritius, taking for the former port 37 men, two women, and two children of her Majesty's 99th Regiment ; Ensigns Kennedy, Cooch, and Brak stone, eight men, one woman and child of the Royal Engineers ; D epty-Assist. - Cora. - Gen. D esbarres and three Army Hospital Corps men, two women and nine children, one man of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and Mr. Romilly. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. Blakey, master commanding, left Chatham harbour at day light yesterday morning, having on board the staff and a large number of officers from the headquar ters of the Royal Engineer Department for convey ance to Shoeburyness, for the purpose of witnessing the artillery experiments undertaken to test the powers of various descriptions of ordnance against defensive works. Capt. Thomas Wilson, R.N., has been appointed Captain-Superintendent of Greenwich Hospital, under the 28th and 29th of Victoria, cap. 89. The appointment is to date from the 12th Oct. last. First Lieut. A. Fonblanque, R.M., is appointed Adjutant of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marines, vice Shairp ; First Lieut. J. W.

Tate and Ensign Lynch, 2d battalion (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, have re ceived orders to proceed from Chatham and embark at Gravesend to-day, on board the Mutlah, for the Mauritius. Yesterday the chartered troopship Isabella, which has been taken up by the Government for the con veyance of troops to Ceylon and the East Indies, embarked at Government -quay, Gravesend, the fol ._ _ _ lowing detachments for Colombo—viz., 102 non commissioned officers and men, five women, and six children of the 2d battalion 25th (Kinks Own Bor- derers) Regiment, from the 9th Depotßattalion, Preston, one non-commissioned officer of the Army Hospital Corps, and one staff-sergeant's wife and three children, for Colombo, with one staff -sergeant of the 105th Madras Light Infantry, for Madras.

STABBING A BARMAN.—fienry Norman, a rough-looking young man, who has frequently been at this court for as sault, and has been three years in a reformatory, was charged with stabbing Henry Nullans, barman at the Marlborough Head public-house, in Drury-lane. Mr. Abrams appeared for the prosecution. The complainant, whose face was severely cut and scared in three places, stated that on Wednesday afternoon the prisoner was in front of the bar, beating and knocking his sister, a girl of fourteen years of age, in a very cruel manner. Witness told him not to do that, but he persisted, and witness then jumped over the counter and put him out. Ho returned after a short interval, and witness again crossed the counter, and sent the potman for a police-con stable. As soon as the policeman was gone, the prisoner stabbed witness in the face with some sharp instrument. Witness could see the gleam of the steal, and felt it prick, each blow. The prisoner inflicted three wounds on his faze, and then ran away. Witness followed him for some distance, but, becoming blinded by the blood flowing over his eyes from the cuts, he was ob liged to desist from further pursuit. He afterwards came to the court, and obtained a warrant, on which the prisoner was apprehended by Constable 129 F. The prisoner said his sister had run away from school, and ho wanted her to go home. This she refused, and as he was pursuing her Norman challenged him to fight. MABLBOROUGH-STREET. RECAPTURE OF A PERSON CRARGEDWITH DEFRAUD ING MESSRS. HOWELL AND JAMES.-011 the Bth of Feb ruary, 1864, two persons named Wm. Arnati and Henry Jones, were committed from this court on the charge of obtaining, by conspiring together, a quantity of property from Messrs. Howell and James, silk mercers, Regent street. Arnati and Jones were allowed to go at large, on bail, and a true bill was found against them. Arnati failed to surrender to take his trial, and had been at large ever since ; Jones remaining out on bail till called upon to take his trial. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Matthews, 13 F, mot Arnati in the Strand, and, addressing him by name, told him that he had a warrant, signed by the judge, for his apprehension, and he then took him into custody. Mr. Levy, of Bow-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Yardley ordered Sergeant Matthews to be sworn, and hearing from him that the signature to the warrant was that of the Assistant Judge (Mr. Bodkin), and that the prisoner was the person mentioned in the warrant, com mitted him for trial. Mr. Levy asked that some money found on the prisoner might be given up to him. Mr. Yardley said he could not interfere. It was a matter or the judge. The prisoner was then committed. THAMES. A VERY TROUBLESOME OFFENDER.-James Bash, a hay dealer, of liornchurch, in Essex, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with two offences—the first for being at a distance from his horse and cart and not having proper control over the horse in a public road ; the other with not having his Christian and surname painted on his cart. A police-constable named Beer, No. 189 K, said that on the 2d of September last he saw the prisoner's horse and cart proceeding along the Bow-road, and no one attending to the animal. He met the prisoner 400 or 500 yards from the cart and spoke to him. He accompanied the prisoner to the cart. There was no name or address upon it. Inspector Kerresey, of the K division, said the prisoner had given much trouble and expense to the police. A summons was served upon him, to which he did not ap pear. Ancither summons met with no better success. Two warrants were granted, and the prisoner was apprehended yesterday at Hornchurch by two police constables. The expenses had been at least 10s., and the time of the sum moning officer of the court was sacrificed for two days, and two other policemen for two days more. The prisoner made a long defence. He could not deny substantially the offences alleged against him. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a foolish and obsti nate man to give so much trouble. He fined him 10s., and 10s. in addition for costs. TEAR. UPS.—Two batches of "tear ups" were brought before Mr. Partridge. The first batch consisted of Wm. Coal, aged 28, George Smith, 14, Thomas Jones, 14, and John Williams, 12, who were admitted to the Poplar Workhouse last night as " casuals," and tore up all their clothes. The second batch consisted of Thomas Roberts, 50, James Roberts, 45, and James Simpson, 37, who sought a night's refuge in Ratcliff Workhouse last night, and also tore up their clothes. Each of the prisoners put the parishes to the expense of new clothing. Mr. Partridge sentenced the adult prisoners to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and said the boys Smith, Jones, and Williams, were . friendless and fatherless, and must be passed to their respective parishes. Merrick, the superintendent of labour at Poplar, said a great number of boys were admitted as casuals last night. Mr. Paget had said that the boys— Mr. Partridge interrupted, and said he did not care what other people said. He was responsible for his own actions. Ho would not send boys like those before him to prison. If they were not taken to the workhouses to which they belonged, he would send them there under the Industrial Schools Act. Police -sergeant Gamble, of the division, said there was another batch of tear-ups at the station-house, who had destroyed their clothes in a casual ward of one of the work houses and been supplied with others. They had again torn up their clothes in the police cell, and could not be brought before the magistrate, until more clothes bo sup plied to them. Mr. Partridge said the parishes were not bound to supply casual paupers with clothes as fast as they tore them up. The casual paupers must be taught they could not set the laws at defiance with impunity. The police had no occa sion to hurry the case. If the casual paupers had torn up their clothes, thoy ought to be detained without any as long as possible. They could be brought up at four o'clock in the afternoon. They would be cool by that time. (Laughter.) ENCOUNTER WITH A BURGLAR.—About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, Mr. Atkinson Pickering, druggist, Hull, was disturbed by hearing a noise. He called to Mr. Raymond, his assistant, and asked him if anything had fallen. Mr. Raymond answered in the nega tive, and they both proceeded to search the dwelling house, but nothing was found to create alarm or suspicion. They then ascended the steps leading to the warehouse, and after reaching a room on the third flight, Mr. Raymond was knocked down by a man who had been concealed in a room. The burglar then got through a window which overlooks the roofs of some houses, and as he was escaping, Mr. Raymond, who had recovered himself, threw a poker at him, but missed his mark. The police were called in, but an ineffectual search was made for tho man. A LADY CHARGED WITH T HEFT.—Thewife of a gentleman who possesses considerable property in Lam beth was yesterday, at the Southwark Police-court, com mitted for trial on a charge of attempting to steal a velvet mantle, the property of a draper in Newington -causeway. The shopman affirmed that he saw her secrete the mantle beneath her dress, and that when he impeached her with the theft the stolen property fell on the floor. The de fence was that the mantle was hanging on the back of a chair, and that it fell as the lady rose. She was admitted to bail. AN EXPRESS TRAIN IN PERIL.—On Tuesday night, the passengers b; the evening express train from Newcastle to Sunderland, on the North Eastern branch line, had a narrow escape. As the train neared Cleadon lane station, and when running at the rate of forty miles an hour it ran into a horse and cart left standing upon the line. Tho vehicle belonged to Mr. Robert Ifarnet, potato merchant, who in going from Tyne Dock to Cleadon, had to cross the railway on a level. While he was opening a gate to pass through he left the horse and cart standing right across the rails, without taking the precaution to look along the line. At that moment the train came up, and,, it being quite dark, the engineman was unable 'to see the obstruction until right upon it. The horse was killed and the cart smashed to pieces, while the train itself with difficulty kept the line, and the passengers experienced a severe jolting.—Leeds Mercury. 56 79 ment, Chatham, during the season just terminated, are ordered to be suspended, the official report of the number of officers and men who have gone through a course of diving, and the nature of the submarine work undertaken; being forwarded to the authorities. A report of some highly important diving operations, effected by means of Heinke's apparatus, was received at ' Brompton barracks yesterday. The divers were sent down the Gurneypit, Pembrokeshire, to a depth of 105 fathoms, for the purpose of re mov i ng some of the pumping gear which had become detached, and caused the flooding of the pit. The undertak ing, from its novelty, was attended with unusual, difficulties, but was successfully completed by Messrs. Wilton and Bolton, the divers employed, the occasion being, it is understcod, the first in which divers have been engaged in such a work.

H. Smith, resigned. Mr. Charles Sean in America. (From the Chicago Times of Oct. 31.) Hazlitt begins his essay on the tragedy of " Lear" with the words, " We wish that we could pass this play over, and say nothing about it"—a remark with which the critic would gladly dismiss Kean's noting of it, nut because of any shortcoming or in adequacy therein, but because all that can be said in a few hurried words must fall far short of the subject itself, and of what the writer conceives of it. To say that Charles Kean was, in the first place, true to Lear's rash hate, his violent impetuosity, his blindness to everything but the dictates of his pas sion, or affections that produces all his misfortunes, that aggravates his impatience of them, that enforces our pity for him ; to say that he passed over all that awful interval, through the pitiful sense of ingrati tude, cruelty, and final bereavement, to that of "Matter in impertinency mixed ! Reason in madness !" - is to say perhaps what will best recall his action to those who witnessed ; and words are indeed feeble to describe or even suggest it to those who were not present with Kean through all Lear's terrible transi tions from proud and wilful strength to hopeless madness, and the helplessness of age, and grief, and death. If Mr. Kean was grand in the most stormy , assages, it was in the more pathetic ones, with which fortunately the play, except in the opening scene abounds, that he was most himself and most the character he assumed. The gradual dawning of the consciousness of his daughters' ingratitude, his struggles against it, his eager haste to seize upon any pretext which could afford him a moment's rest from mad dening grief, the perversion (obscuring, it cannot besaid), of his wits, his fear of madness, his struggles against it, and his convictions of its approach and presence—all were presented with a fidelity which by turns moved the audience to indignation, pity, grief, and terror as though all were real. No one who saw can ever forget Lear's ironical prayer, in which there was a thousand times more of tender ness than of sarcasm, as he kneels before his cruel daughter, "Dear daughter, I confess that I am old ;" his pathetic appeal to the heavens, " if your selves are old, make it your cause ;" his half rational plea, " I am a man, more sinned against than sinning ;" his pitying and pitiful cold comfort to the fool, " Art cold ? I'm cold myself !"—his transition in Act 111. to unmixed madness, in contrast with the assumed madness of Edgar, (excellently performed by Cathcart), and above all, the tender, half-sure, half-doubtful recognition of Cordelia in the closing act, " Be your tears wet ?" To name Mr. Kean in these few culminating pas sages is to praise him in all the scenes of the most consistent, sustained, and truly powerful assump tion he has yet given. His Lear is superior to his Louis XI., not in act, perhaps, or in fidelity to his theme, but because of the thousand points u t o h f a s t ym pathy between it and all the huma n h e re spond to its indignant or pathetic appeals. It only remains to say, in the same general terms, that Mr. Everett played the noble role of Kent with really commanding power, and Miss Chapman that of Cordelia with intelligence and feeling. The house was well filled. MUNIFICENT DONATION.—The friends and sup porters of the B r iti s h H ouse for Incurables, Clapham-rise, will be gratifi e d t o l earn that the Most Hon. the Marquis of Townshend has lately presented the noble sum of £l,OOO to the funds of that excellent charity. In the Court of Chancery yesterday Vice-Chan cellor Wood, on the motion of Mr. John Camden Hotton, the publisher, granted an injunction restraining certain parties from the publication of his edition of " Artemus Ward." It has been so edited and annotated by Mr. 'Totten that he is able to claim the protection of the law THE LATE CASE OF ALLEGED POISONING BY A SWEETHEART, AT SALISBURY.—WM. John Storer, the surgeon's assistant lately charged with administering strychnia to Miss Emily Sophia Blake, the daughter of Mr. Blake, surgeon, of Salisbury, has, since his committal, en deavoured to obtain poisonous drugs , wit h the view, itis supposed, of committing suicide. He wrote out a prescrip tion under an assumed name, and addressing a letter to Messrs. Savory and Moore, of London, succeeded in in ducing a newly engaged turnkey to post it for him, a further arrangement being also made for the " medicine" on its arrival, to bo loft at the turnkey's house. Me ssrs. Savory and Moore, finding that the prescription included a dose of morphia more than sufficient to destroy life, imme diately put themselves in communication with the police at Salisbury. The, result of their investigation went to prove coilusion betwoen the turnkey and the prisoner. The turnkey was at once suspended, and a furth er i nqu i ry into the matter has been entered upon by the visiting justices. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE--This Day.
