Naval and Military Intelligence. A means of temporarily stopping shot holes or leaks in the sides or bottoms of iron ships has been a desideratum ever since the adoption of iron for building and plating ships of war. An invention of Commander F. B. Warren, R.N., to sup ply this want has been under trial on her Ma jesty's ship Fire Queen, at Portsmouth, si n c e the Ist ult., and remains there still, a most favourable interim report having been forwarded to the Admiralty on the results. The plan proposed by Commander Warren, which has been patented, is intended to prevent the entry of water into a ship through external openings made by the action of shot, by collision with another vessel, or by the action of torpedoes. It consists essentially of sheets of lead fastened over the damaged part by means of screws acting on the outside of vulcanised India rubber suckers. Supposing the damage to be 6ft. -or- 20ft: square, or of any given dimensigns, the space so damaged could be effectually covered said the water excluded in less time than it would take to nail the same quantity of lead on the bottom or sides of a ship built of wood. On the hull of the Fire Queen the experiment has been made between wind and water, so that the outer pressure is very much less, and therefore more unfavourable to the experiment than it would be if it were totally im mersed. The patch of lead, with its screws and suckers, still adheres as perfectly as ever, although the Fire Queen is almost constantly under way, steams very fast, and the wash from her paddles beats directly on the face of the experimental patch. Altogether, as the official report states, the inven tion has been submitted to a very severe test. As all of her Majesty's ships number " divers" now among their crews they have always the means on board of applying the principle, whether at sea or in harbour. The screw troopship Tamar, Capt. Stirling, arrived at Portsmouth on Monday morning from the West Indies and Queenstown. From the former place she has brought to Portsmouth a few naval invalids and supernumeraries, and from Queenstown the depots of the 86th, 88th, and 108th Regiments. The troops will disembark this morning from the ship alongside Portsmouth dockyard, the 86th and 88th depots marching into Fort Elson, near Gos port, as the nucleus of a depot battalion ordered to be formed there, and the 108th depot joining the de pot battalion now at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight. The 31st Regiment, in garrison at Portsmouth, are ordered for immediate embarkation in the Tamar for convey ance to Ireland. The Tamar towed into Spithead the English brigantine Palmerston, Gillan, master, from Sheilds, bound to Alicante. The Palmerston had lost fore and main topmasts, fore and topgal lant yards, jibboom, and sails, with other damage to hull and equipment, in a very heavy squall, with cross sea, on Sunday, about 1 a m., Portland, at the time, being distant about 14 miles N.E.

THE PRUSSIANS IN SAXONY.—It bas been offi cially announced in Dresden that Lieut.-General Von der Mulbe, the Prussian military governor of Saxony, has ordered Privy Councillor Hap, Police DirectorSchwauss, and Police Councillor Pikart to desist at once from their functions, and leave Dresden within 2t hours. In case of refusal, they are to be treated as spies and tried by a military court. The Saxon commissioners have protested against the order. The Prussian military authorities have also closed the branch of the Saxon War Ministry still open, and prohibited the members of the department from con tinuing their duties.

In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex , ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a specialitd pertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

In this case, which was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolution of his marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the corespondent, the court, after hearing the evidence in the case, pronounced a decree nisi on the 16th of last month. From the evidence then adduced Appeared there were two children the issue of the marriage, a boy and girl, and the boy lived with his father and the girl wrtm. DX, 11,1116 lu vv respondent at Baden Baden, ho being secretary to the French embassy at Darmstadt. Mr. Hodgson now applied on the part of Mr. Cavendish, the petitioner, for an order of the court to enable him to procure the custody of his daughter, Emily Frances Ida Cavendish, who was stated to be 14 years of age. Dr. Swabey opposed the application, and in support of his opposition read several affidavits, the most important of which was from a medical gentleman residing in Berne, which was to the effect that the young lady in question was of delicate health, as also of an excitable temperament, and that the separating her from her mother and removing her into a different climate would be most prejudicial to her. The learned Judge, however, said that he considered he ought to grant the order applied for. The evidence elicited in the cause exhibited great immorality on the part of the mother, and the husband being by law entitled to the charge of his children, he had no hesitation in granting the order. The order would therefore be that Mrs. Cavendish hand over the child to the person whom Mr. Cavendish might appoint to receive her, and whose name would be given into the registry, within four days after the service of such order upon her. ROBERTSON V. ROBERTSON AND SOTHERN. This was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolu tion of his marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is the celebrated actor at the Haymarket Theatre. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Sergeant Bel , lantine and Dr. Spinks), now appeared on the part of the co-respondent, and moved that the petition bo struck off the files of the Court. Ho did so chiefly on the strength of an affidavit). by the petitioner himself. In that affidavit, Mr. Robertson, the petitioner, stated that he was married to the respondent in 1855, that after their marriage they went to New York, and that in August of the following year they found themselves in Richmond, Virginia. While there his wife committed adultery with a person of the name of Lester, with whom she eloped to Anstralia, and that in 1862 he saw them living there as man and wife, they being connected with an operatic company. He came to this country in 1864, and in April last he filed a petition in that court charging the co-respondent with having committed adultery with his wife in March, 1856. In explanation of the manner in which that charge was made the learned counsel stated that in the early part of last year a libel of a scandalous character appeared against Mr. Sothern in a publication called the Spiritual Magazine. In consequence of that criminal proceedings were insti tuted by Mr. Sothern against a person of the name of Coleman. The case came on for trial at the Old Bailey in March last, when Coleman, who had put upon the record justification, on the case being heard, stated that he could not establish any part of that justification, and made an apology, which was accepted by the other side, a fine of £5O having been at the time inflicted upon him by the presiding judge. The same article, nr, at all events, ono to a like effect, seemed to have appeared in another publi cation, called the Spiritual Times, for which similar pro ceedings wore instituted against a person of the name of Cooper. He made an apology, and bound himself to give Mr. Sothern no further annoyance, and which was accepted, as in the previous case. That happened on tho 9th of April, and two days after Mr. Sothern was served with the citation in the present case. These libels and this suit were, he therefore contended, got up to insult and annoy Mr. Sothern, Robertson, the petitioner, being simply made a tool of in the hands of others. The adultery was alleged to have been committed two years previous to the suit being instituted, and ten years after the petitioner had arrived in this country from Australia, while at the same time it was well known that Robertson had not a farthing to maintain such an action with. But at all events his own affidafit now set the matter at rest. In that affidavit, of which the learned counsel stated the purport, he said that previous to the commencement of these proceedings he was living at a place called Esther Hall, Deptford, being an accountant out of employment, where he paid some 3s. a week for his lodgings. While there, he was waited upon by two persons, strangers to him, who took him to Harley street, and also to May Fair, whore they procured for him a change of apparel, and who by their influence had him placed in the office of the Cash Payment Association (Li mited), which is situated in Waterloo-place. About April the 6th last he was visited there by a person who was a stranger to him, and who arranged to meet him at Dr. Smith's offices in the Temple, on the subject of procuring a divorce from his wife. Ho wont there on the 6th April, and he saw the stranger who had waited on him, and Dr. Smith. He told the latter that he had seen his wife living with Lester, in Australia, in 1862 ; that ho believed she was still living with him, and that as there would be no difficulty in obtaining a divorce by making Lester the co respondent there was no use of making Mr. Sothern a party to the case. He was, however, told that ho had better cite Mr. Sothern first, and the other party afterwards. He now, however, believed that there was no ground whatever for making Mr. Sothern a co-respondent, and ho desired that his petition should be struck off the files of the court. The learned counsel went on to state that he had also an a ffidavit fron Sothern denying in the most emphatic ~~ et `-‘-:7-4‘-::r-e-g--06 PRICE.— 4d. STAMPED sd . A Plea for the Negroes of Jamaica. (TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.) Slll,—The most recent and reliable information from Jamaica leaves no doubt in the minds of the well-wishers to the colony that, as far as regaris the negro and coloured population, a state of hopeless ness and distress prevails. This is not to be won dered at, when the sad and suffering condition of these poor people is borne in mind. From the re port of her Majesty's Commissioners it appears that at least one thousand houses belonging to the negroes have been wantonly destroyed. According to the evidence of Mr. Parry, the Government sur veyor, the property thus sacrificed is worth not less than £4,000. This estimate, however, does not in clude the mills and minor buildings. Nor does it include the furniture and clothing consumed or otherwise destroyed. The distress consequent upon this reckless destruction of property it is painful to contemplate. It is estimated that not less than 5,000 persons, principally women and children, are at the present time homeless. They are dwelling in the woods or in temporary sheds, in vast numbers of instances deprived by the hand of violence and cruelty of their natural protectors. The Colonial Government is prostrate, and has probably not abi lity to aid these forlorn and suffering people. Our duty at the present time seems to be in the first in stance to provide shelter for these poor outcasts, and afterwards to take measures for their social, educational, and moral improvement. The British and Foreign Freedmen's Aid Society is prepared to undertake this important work. Already it has opened up a correspondence with Jamaica, and a number of clergymen, ministers, and gentlemen of the first respectability are prepared to co-operate with the London society. A gentleman writing to us from Jamaica on the 23d of May, says—" Since the receipt of your letter dated the Bth instant, I have written Mr. lingness to co-operate in any measures for the car rying out of the wishes of the British and Foreign Freedmen's Aid Society. My idea of working the thing is, to form a Central Com mittee in Kingston, with branch Committees at Morant Bay, Blue Mountain Valley, at Bath, and at Manchioneal. I have discovered many real cases of loss and unrighteous suffering." Speaking of the district from whence the letter was written, the writer says—" To give a general view of things here, I may tell you that there are some 200 houses in this district burned. 100 may be put down as destroyed by the recklessness of soldiers and pseudo volunteers under Mr. —, their brave lieutenant." The writer then speaks of the hardships, loss, and impoverislnent of the people, and says, " General and great is the distress brought on by our recent troubles." He concludes by presenting the follow ing suggestions :—" That aid be given— " 1. For the immediate relief of hunger, naked ness, and destitution. " 2. Pecuniary or material help to those who are desirous of re-building their homes. " 3. Aid in building or repairing mills, school rooms, and places of worship, &c. " 4. A fund for the formation of primary schools in villages remote from the central schools." The writer further says, " the Friends' gave me £5O, and I got £2O from —. £7O I have been enabled to distribute already, but to feed, to clothe, to aid in providing a temporary hut, what was that among so many ? My humble prayer is that great as have been our troubles, greater may be the good stimulated by the Supreme Wisdom and Power." It would be easy to present touching cases of distress, but this cannot be needed. The report of her Majesty's Commissioners— " That the punishments inflicted were excessive— "l. That the punishment of death was unnecessarily fie klucut, "2. That the floggings wore reckless, and at Bath posi tively barbarous, "3. That the burning of a thousand houses was wanton and cruel," together with the minutes of evidence, are suffi ciently thrilling to afford a sufficient justification for my appealing with confidence to the sympathy and support of the generous British public. I shall be glad to receive the donations of those who are willing to come to the aid of these suffering and perishing people, or donations may be paid into Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co., Bankers, 54, Lombard-street, to the account of the British and Foreign Freed-Men's Aid Society, or sent to the Secretary, 102, Fleet-street, E.C.—I am yours faithfully, ALFRED S. CHURCHILL, President of the British and Foreign Freed- Men's Aid Society. 16, Rutland Gate, S.W., July 3, 1866. Fashions foi July. (From Le Folief) We are happy to announce a decided reactionary move ment towards simplicity of attire. There can be no ques tion that luxury in dress has of late been indulged in to an alarming excess. It is, therefore, gratifying to observe that the leaders of fashion now show a decided inclination to allow tho judiciously elegant to replace the merely expen sive. We no longer see toilettes covered and sparkling with gold and silver, these theatrical ornaments having given place to ribbons, flowers, laces, dm. Summer is undoubtedly a time of rest for the purse and of work for the fancy. Expensive fabrics and trimmings are not required ; a few simple material; elegantly made, so as to permit the possessor to appear often in what the Parisians call me toilette fraiche being all that is necessary, except for very dressy occasions, such asfetes or marriages. Tho materials most in vogue at the present moment are linos, mohair, alpaca, and a great variety of fancy material; such as Sultane, which is a mixture of silk and wool. Foulards are, of course, immensely in request. There is, perhaps, no fabric so much worn. It is made in endless varieties of quality and style, so as to suit the taste and means of every one. Moire antiques, poult de sole, thick taffetas, and such heavy material; only suitable for colder weather, all have to give place to the foul ard. Gaze de Chambdry, mousseline de soie; and other very thin and expensive materials, are reserved for in-door or evening wear. White toilettes are made in all fabric; and have one great advantage : by changing the colour of the ornament; or the style of their disposition, one can always give them a new appearance with very little expense or trouble. The skirts of all dresses—let the ma terials be what they may—are cut on the bias. In case of their being muslins, or equally thin fabrics, the back breadth is not gored. The slope of the side breadth is, of course, put to the back, as it would be under any circumstances. In-door dresses and toilettes de visite have very long trains, and are sloped round the bottom of the skirt, and exces sively plain at tpe hips. Bodies also are not so very short waisted as they were a little time since ; in fact, the efforts made by a misguided few to introduce an eccentric style of dress have failed, and the short waists and the long trailing dresses clinging round the feet are confined to those who do not hesitate to make any sacrifice of taste and appear ance, in order to attract attention or look different f ro m others. A few weeks ago ladies who could afford to wear . n . in . : e : r . ten flounced muslin petticoats discontinued tho.nirtchreinoli of course, this made but very slight difference plain on the hips. circum ference either at the bottom or top of the skirt, as all these a weight of skirts petticoats were so gored as to be o at t h e present moment, The weather is now so warm that s o - g u r i e t° at would be unbearable; thereekfoproe ,tticoat and two thin ones, under thin dresses, one thi rno, herebovngdoratl:sircaykaskwihrtistet.Worrpe are worn over a small crino coats, the ono next t he . cage in forms of crirnoline worn—one round and rather are two ith dresses when looped up ; the other a train, for indoor dress or when short, for out-of-door and w rather larger, the skirt is allowed to rest on the ground, The petticoats no w are BO muc h shown that the y are generally more orna mented than the dresses. For morning toilettes they are generally made either of the same material as the dress and palotot, or of cachemire the colour of the ornaments on the dres s. For more dressy occasions tho petticoats are made of white or coloured silk. The white petticoats worn under thin dresses are most elegant little gauffored flounces edged with lace; perpendicular tucks, alternating with embroidered insertion or Cluny ; medallions of em broidery or guipure, over coloured ribbons; in short, every day introduces some new and elegant manner of trimming them. When the dress is looped over a petticoat for out of-door wear tho petticoat should not touch the ground, but be merely a short distance from it. In some cases the under skirt is made full length, with a train, but then it is intended for a double skirt, and not merely a petticoat. For morning wear the paletots are almost always of the same • • material as the dress. They are sometimes made loose and short, with or without a hood, but always with sleeves. With this form a white body is worn with the skirt. When there is a body to the skirt, to obviate the necessity of wearing an extra covering out of doors, a peplum basque is made separate from the body, and, being sewn on to a narrow ribbon, is fastened round the body under the waist band. The small black cachemire loose paletots, spotted with beads, are not now so elegant or so fashionable as the small circulars of the same material, ornamented with beads, or edged either with a bead fringe or a lace flounce. Muslin and other thin dresses are generally accompanied by mantles of the same; these can be made either circular cloaks, only reaching just below the waist, or small paletots quite loose or demi:Adjuste, according to the taste of the wearer. When made in those thin materials the waistband should never be worn outside. For fetes or toilettes de visite black lace .casaques, nearly tight fitting, are more elegantly worn than the black lace shawl that has been so long in favour. Black silk mantles are not much worn ; they are intended more for spring or autumn wear. There is not much alteration iu the form of bonnets, the " Galette," "Lamballe," and " Fanchonette" being most in favour. The latter is a very small "Panchen," merely reach ing to the chignon, not covering it, and slightly bent in front. The "Lamballe" is perfectly round, but slightly boat down at each side to the shape of the head, and generally has a " Marie Stuart" front. The " Galette" is also perfectly round, but quite flat, and in any form taking the form of the head. There is a very slight difference in the form of hats; they are worn iu almost all shapes and styles. Flowers seem to be preferred to feathers for trimming them, especially if they are intended for seaside wear. For morning hats flowers would, of course, be too dressy. On these are worn small wings or straight feathers. White bodies are, of course, more in request than ever, and are made in a variety of materials—cambric, foulard, alpaca, Llama, and unbleached linen. For evening wear thinner materials, such as Indian muslin, plain or embroi dered. When made in these thin fabrics they aro generally arranged with Cluny or Valenciennes insertion over coloured ribbon or velvet. We have seen some very pretty white muslin bodies with perpendicular bouillonnes, separated by , a row of very narrow coloured velvet. With white bodies a corslet like the skirt is generally worn. These are made in a variety of forms, but undoubtedly the most elegant and recherche is the corslet " Medici" and point& peplum all cut in one. This should be made in the colour of the trimmings or patterns on the dress. The white body must, of course, have the same coloured trimmings. Coal, Iron, and Oil. In reviewing a work on the above subject, the New York Times says : This is a work of peculiar and original interest, and of great practical utility. It is made up chiefly of new in formation, facts, and figures, which can only be acquired by long experience and close observation, and which adds largely to the knowledge we possess of our mines and mineral resources. It is writtten in a plain and popular manner, with no pretensions to literary merit and no flourishing scientific phrase or technical ambiguity. It is concise, pointed, and brief. Words are used to present facts. Yet the book cannot fail to be interesting to the general reader, while it seems a necessity to those directly interested in the sub jects discussed, or all who seek information in regard to our mineral kingdom—our vast and magnificent resources in coal, iron, and oil. To those it is really a " text-book and guide." A full and complete table of contents is given as well as a copious general index. The statistical informa tion, which is very full and up to the present year, is grouped in anappendix, under appropriate heads, and ina systematic m inner, so as not to interrupt the leading descriptions in the body of the work ; but where these tables and figures may be necessary to illustrate the text they aro given in connection. The whole work is divided into seven parts and thirty chapters,• exclusive of the appendix. The first part is devoted to geology, giving a precise description of tho earth's crust, the character and formation of the Ap palachian ranges, and the groat North American Basin, the origin and formation of coal, and its place among the rocks. The second part describes the general distribution of coal in all the explored parts of the world ; the early history and development of mineral coal in Europe and America, and a brief description of the coal fields and coal mines of Great Britain. Part third gives a lengthy and elaborate description of the coal fields and coal mines of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania—their seams, basins, faults, measures ; in a word, an exhaustiie descrip tion of our vast and famous beds of anathracite. Part fourth describes our bituminous coal fields, inclusive of the western, southern, and north-eastern fields —namely, the Great Alleghany coal field and its eastern and north-east ern basins, the great Central coal field, the Great Western coal field, the Northern or Michigan, the Arcadian or the coal of the British Provinces, the Southern or the coal of 'Virginia and North Carolina, and the coals of the Pacific slopes. Part fifth contains an elaborate and practical account of the various modes and systems of mining coal; the economy of mining and ventilation ; scientific and practical mining; improve ments iu mining matters, and th© development of mines, and mine surveyibg and engineering. Part sixth gives the general distribution of the ores of iron in the United States, dividing the Asoic from the Palmozoic formation; and exhibiting briefly the various theories of the formation of the ores of iron. The Magnetics, Hematites, Carbo nitos, &c., &c. ; a chapter on the practical development of our resources, and a concise description of the elabo ration of iron and steel, including the late improve ments in the manufacture of iron, and the pneumatic or Bessemer process of manufacturing steel—an interesting subject at present, and one that will be forced upon our at tention. Part seventh contains the geology, distribution, and peculiarities of petroleum or rock oil, which, however, is so intimately connected with coal, that its consideration often occurs in connection with the descriptions in the early pages of the book. This account of petroleum appears to clear up much of the mystery and confusion which exists in relation to the existence, formation, and origin of rock oil or petroleum, and will well repay a close and attentive pe rusal. Part eighth is the appendix, which contains the sta tistics of iron, coal, and petroleum, and a description of the anthracite mines, which are also illustrated by a large and elegant geological map, showing tho relative formations, basins, mines, and regions. The geology of the United States and the formation of the groat South American basin, is clearly set forth and illustrated. In this, as in most of the subjects discussed, there is much originality and much that will be new and interesting generally to the reading public. We may say that it is the most valuable and practical work that has appeared on the subject of coal since the publication of Taylor's statistics, and we would advise all who wish such information to read for them selves. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HENRY RUMSEY FORSTER. —lt has been known, for some little time past, that Mr. Forster contemplated retiring from the London manager-. ship of Messrs. Allsopp and Sons, the eminent ale brewers of Burton-on-Trent. Mr. Forster has held this important appointment for no less a term than ten years, and his withdrawal from it will be a subject of regret to the very extensive connections of the firm with whom he had busi ness transactions, as well as to a very large circle of private friends. Mr. Forster's career as a journalist has made him widely known, and, therefore, a change so important as that we have indicated will be a matter of interest far beyond the limits of the trade with which he has boon so long and so honourably identified. With regard to the trade, however, our readers will be pleased to learn that Mr. Forster has not retired from it, but merely transferred his services to the eminent sherry shippers, Messrs. Duff Gordon, and Co. Mr. Forster will take with him to his new sphere of labour the best wishes of a host of sincere friends. His urbanity of manner, enthusiasm in business, geniality of disposition, wonderful tact, untiring energy, and varied accomplishments, have enabled him to consoli date and extend Messrs. Allsopp's business, to which he has devoted his best years, and no doubt he will meet with the same success in his now position. Mr. Forster'B " transfer" has been thought a proper occasion for the pre sentation of some suitable testimonial to mark the respect and esteem in which he is hold. Such an intention, we are sure, needs only to be announced to meet with a prompt and gra tifying result.—Licensed Victuall ers ' G uardian.
