The principles of the Hygeian theory are contained in the follow ing propositions : I. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or,'ln other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. b. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE - UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper. vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion suinisting between the mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. nLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS; _ILA Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar, York, " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th Jane, 1847. " Sia,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to fourindividnals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion amongthe many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I ain, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Front, 129, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all' respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Matriculated Member ef the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of .Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order chat 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 injurious ; the gift, which wisest used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less !Wary to the constitutional and svital powers. The particul.ur excesses, on the nature and conseanence 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 of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation ef 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 .n early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trout their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear 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 for 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 medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extentied. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice fer many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was on Satur day held by Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, at the King's Arms, on 'the banks of the Surrey•canal, Camberwell, on the body of a female child, which had no doubt, been murdered and thrown into the canal. A lad, named Wengrove, sated that on Wednesday last, about dinner time, he was pas s i ng a l ong t h e b an k s o f the Surrey Canal, near the bridge, when he observed a large bundle floating on the water. He had a dog with him, which he sent in, and the animal swam with it to the shore. lie could then see the head of a child in it, and being alarmed, called to a woman, who opened it, and discovered it contained the body of a child, which was taken to the above house. The jury returned a verdict " that the child was found dead, but that they had no evidence to show whether it alivewasabsoranppoint appointed or the not." DRrev Hamp d en, William ox,B Hereford,.

When misery is the deepest, there is something awful in this perpetual and smiling round of natural movements. It teaches profoundly the insiguiacance of the atom of creation. against Messrs. O'Bri en , fli t hell, DUBLIN, SATURDAY. —This' being the first day of Easter term, and th e o p en i ng of the S ta t e prosecuti on and Meagher, con siderable excitement p reva i led i n t h e h a ll of the Feur Courts, and the immediate locality of the courts, for some time before the ordinary period for commencing business. In a few minutes after the door of • the Queen's Bench was opened, the junior bar, the solicitors' and reporters' seats, and the parts of the building appropriated to the public,, were completely occupied. At twelve o'clock the Hon. Justice Crampton entered the court, and the grand jury was sworn. Mr. Justice CIIAMPTO N proceeded to address them in the following terms Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the city of Dublin,--The recurrence of the presenting ter m h as once more asse mbled you in that box, and devolv e d on you t h e ver y important office of grand jurors. Y ou are aware, gen tlemen ' that your duties are of a two f o ld c h arac ter—civil and criminal. y - In the di sc h arge o f you r civil duties you have to mak e presentment f o r the various public establishment s o f the c i t which are sup ported by grand jury , cess—to superintend and check the expenditure of the p u bli c money, an d to discharge the various other import an t f unct i ons conn ected with that part of your duty. I n t o t h e d eta il s o f those matters I will not go. Your e x p er i ence as gran d jurors, and the addresses you have often heard from my venerated pre decessor, render it quite unnecessary that I should do so. Should any legal difficulty arise, however, in the discharge of your duties, the Court will be ready to afford you every assistance in its 'power. One general observation I may make upon this part of your duty. While you will liberally provide for the proper main• tenance of the various establishments, you will also, as guardians of the public purse, wisely economise the funds entrusted to your administration. Gentlemen, another and not less important province of your duty will be the consideration 1:4 such' bills of indietmenf as shall be submitted to you by the Clerk of the Crown ; and as this part of your duty is not very frequently—as you are not very frequently called upon to discharge this ;part of -your duty in this court, it may not be unseasonable for me to make some suggestions as to the manner -in which this part of your duty should be discharged. I am informed that it is intended on the part of the Crown to prefer bills of indictment against certain parties who are charged with seditious , practices, tending to disturb - the public peace. If this be so, gentlemen, it will be your duty to give your calmest consideration to such bills; and if you are satisfied by the evidence- laid before you that they are 'true bills, you will find them so to be; but' if you are not satisfied with the evidence you will sak " No bill." • Gentlemen, I 'cannot enter into any d e t a il o f the particular cases that may be submitted to you: I have neither the wish nor the -materials to enable me to do so. But I shall state to you generally, for your guidance, the nature of the charges likely to - be preferred—the law applicable to them—and the proofs necessary to sustain them. The bills of indictment likely to be submitted to you, will, I understand, contain certain charges for the publication of seditious libels, and the speaking of seditious words. I refer here not to mere private libels or slanders upon individuals. These, though they may be the subject of criminal prosecution or action, are looked upon more in the light of private injury than of a public offence. But the matters to be brought before you involve a grave offence-=an offence against the State—an offence that comes under the general head of sedition. The term sedition is a comprehensive term, and it serves to include all those attempts to disturb the public peace which come short of high treason, but the natural tendency of which is to incite to insurrection and rebellion against the Crown and Government. From the earliest period of our law sedition has been held to include high treason ; but though often closely allied to that highest of crimes, and always tending towards it, sedition is now held only , as a misdemeanour, and punishable only with fine and im prisonment. It is a high misdemeanOur, a graveOffence— tor its tendency and objeCt are to incite opposition to the law and Government—to bring the administration of justice and the sovereign authority into con tempt—to excite discontent and disaffection among the people—to create public slisturbance, tumult, and civil war, with all their pernicious consequences. In short, sedition is disloyalty in,action—a species of civil mutiny, or rising up against the sovereign,po:wer and the state. Gentl eme n, you are aware there can be no indictment for sedition in the abstract, any more .than for high treason or misdemeanour. generally. Fer the purpose of the charge a seditious spirit must be evidenCed' . by overt acts, by doings, by writings, or by words. I will not here speak of seditious doings as contradistin guished from seditious writings or speakings, because it is probable your consideration will be confined to sedi tious writings and speakings ; and though these may appear to terminate in words they are often more dan gerous than the musket or the sword. For an armed indidual can do but individual injury, but a Seditious speech, and, above all, a seditious press, may stir up thousands and tens of thousands to combine for the destruction of property. In such writings and speeches liberty is; made the pretext, and the weak-minded and ignorant are deluded to believe that they are the slaves Of a foreign power, and that their freedom• can be achieved only by trampling upon 'the law of the land, and subverting the Government of the country. These preachers of sedition forget that there is no part of the world—l say it emphatically —there is-no part of the world in which civil liberty exists to the same degree as under the shelter of' the British monarchy; that in no other country would such writings .and speeches be tolerated as remain unpunished with us. The subjects of the British empire, all submitting to the sovereignty of the law, are free f rom i ndividual dom i n i on . Liberty of speech and writing, and lib er ty - o f action, are - the birthright'equally of every subject of the United King dom; but the liberty, as secured to us by sovcre i g nlaw, is regulated by the same laws, and .hiis . its' necessary limits. In our free country no censorship on the press or on the tongue exists. Every man is free ` to write and free to speak.as h e i s free to act; but he is as respon aible to the laws for what he writes and speaks as ho is for what he does. He is free, but he must not use his liberty as a cloak for sedition: He shall not, under' the pretext of exercising his own .rights, violate the leg al rights of others. Ab ove all, he Must not presume to insult the Sovereign or her Goverment, under 'the security of that constitution which is the protector of his own person and of his own property. If be does so , gentlemen, he is a - traitor to th e law, and he must answer it. Gentlemen, private libels are redressed by private remedies. Political libels are those which form the sub ject-matter of that sedition I have spoken of ; and, gentlemen, while political writings or speeches are con fined within their legal limits, they are not only allow able, they are not only justifiable, but they are entitled to respect and praise. A man may lawfully and bene ficially discuss and criticise the measures adopted by the Queen and her Ministera, provided he does so fairl y , temperately, and with respect, without imputing to them porrupt or improper motives ; within the same limit a Olaf' may lawfully comment ou the laws and constitution of the realm, the acts and proceedings of the Houses of i'arliament, of the courts of justice, and the administra lion of the laws, and thi s h e may do i n our free country freely and boldly.

Gentlemen, I do not mean . here to enumerate d every , such . all the clauses of such words or wrihtinntglswhich may be s seditious i ooufs sedition, e libels; diti a o l n l used for the purpose I have stated enough' to describe their general gentlemen, Subject of your inquiry. I know, men, there are enable you to deal with the bills. which will be made the some who disapprove of called state prosecutions; that there many of what are are some who exhibit a morbid feeling towards offenders and are comparatively careless about the safety of dividuals or the public, and that such persons are dis posed to look with an especially indulgent eye upon what are called political offences , as if. an offence , or crime lost its effect by_ having Ithe whole public for its object. But I own.cannot' sympa thise with such philanthropist!, as . they m ay ca ll themselves.. I cannot but view high treason as the greatest and most dangerous of all.offences that-can be committed against human laws, involving, as it 'does every other crime connected with violence and blood. I cannot but view also seditious attempts to stimulate the multitude into insurrection as an offence of the gravest character. The motive for such offences may not be traitorous; it may be merely selfish; it may be a desire for low popularity, or a love of .notoriety, even at the expense of degradation. The sedition uttered may be but the effusion of a heated imagination, or the effects of a mischievous restlessness of mind ; but what ever the motive, be it more or less culpable, the dangers to the community from such practices are exactly the same. The principles which such would inculcate are inconsistent with all government. They are as hostile to the spirit of the wag' qcustittiti9l3 ae they are at character,wr. and afotroee variance with the precepts of the Gospel of truth, and ',they have received no countenance from the great con stitutional lights of the law in former days--the Hales, the l l°ltg, and the Mansfields, or our own Bushes or Plunkets, or' other eminent 'interpreters of the constitutional law. And, gentlemen, if ever there was a time when the application of such principles was danger ous i t is emphatically the present—a time of change, of excitement, and of popular commotion unpa ralleled in the history of nations. Not, gentlemen, that I entertain any apprehension of the stability of our own institutions. The revolutionary tide which is sweeping away continental thrones from their unsteady basis, re coils in broken waves from the solid and well-balanced fabric of the British constitution. The sound good sense, the love of order, and the affectionate loyalty which have for ages characterised the great majority of the British people, directed by the vigilance and energy of a paternal government, with the blessing of the Great Being in whose hands are the destinies of nations, have hitherto been the shield of the British nation and of her glorious institutions, and aro, I do believe, the surest guarantees for our constitution. You will remember always•that the higher and the more penal the crime charged against any party, the more satisfactory must be the proof required to support that charge. It is true, gentlemen, yours is but a preliminary inquiry. You are called upon to consider whether the parties shall be put upon their trial ; and you can receive no evidence but evidence in support of the bill. The party against whom a bill is found has a right to a public trial by ti petit jury of his peers before he can be pronounced guilty, or made the subject of punishment. But, on the other hand, gentlemen, it is no light thing to put a man on his trial for a serious offence. Such a proceeding should be adopted only on a clear prima facie case,-upon such proof as, if uncontradicted and unexplained, would justify you as a petit jury i n fi nding a verdict of guilty. In the case likely to go before you there are two points for your special consideration. • First, the publication or speaking of the seditious writings or words charged in the indictment, and the motives and intentions of the parties accused. Secondly, the criminal character or otherwise of the writings or words' so set out in the bill of Indictment. The first inquiry is a'tnere Matter of fact, and its result will depend upon the testimony of the witnesses whose names will be endorsed on the back of the bill.

Southwell addressed the Court, and stated that his name had not been called, though he bad received a summons, and had always served on the grand jury. lie had received a summons, but yesterday he got a note from the Sheriff, stating that the summons had been sent him by mistake, Ile was not aware what mistake there could be in it. lie was there to answer his name, like any other juror, and could produce the summons he received. COURT—You are quite right in appearing. The Hon: Mr: Southwell trusted that he would be placed in his proper position on the panel. He did not think these were times io which a man coming forward to discharge his duty should be rejected, or treated with discourtesy or unfairness. COURT—We are all here in the discharge of a duty; and know of no place. on the panel - but according to the Act of Parliament. Hon. Mr. Southwell—Will the Sheriff, be directed to put my nameon the list in its pioper position? . COURT— We cannot interfere with the Sheriff. - Hon.

Gentlemans name was then put - on the panel,•immediately after that of the foreman. Two indictments were then handed to the grand jury, who retired to their room. At a quarter before three o'clock the.grand jury returned into court. TRUE BILLS AGAINST MR. MITCREI.L. The Foreman announced that they had fotinitrue bills on the indictments sent up. The. Clerk,of the Crown asked were they found against John Mitchell? • - The Foreman—Yes; against John Mitchell. We have found on all the, counts 'in the two - bills of indict ment arr '' ainstJohn Mitchell. • - ,,TheClerk , of the-Crown, at th e su g ges ti on of' the At torney-General; was about handing up two other bills, when Sir E. Borowes intimated the wish of the grand jury to defer the consideration of those - bills until Monday. The. ATTORNEY-GENEK&I; observed that both bills Were ♦ery short, and as it might save trouble to all par ties concerned, he suggested they should be considered. There-were only a few witnesses to be examined. Mr. Smith O'Brien said, as far as lie was concerned, he was quite ready to go cn. It was then dccided the bills should go up. • The CLERK of-the CROWN observed, that the certifi cate on the bills was•not properly drawn up, whereupon t.he:•Grand.Jury were recalled. Sir Edward Borowes said he hid signed the certificate ‘, a true bill—for self and fellows," ' which he presumed was correct. • Mr. --Mitchell.—My Lords, I do not think that - is correct. Mr. Justice CRAMPTON told the Grand Jury they should state in the Certificate the name of the individual l and the offence with which he was charged. ' The enfEr Jtsvc - E (to Sir Edward Borowes)—You are called upon to state the offence. Sir Edward-For seditious language. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—For seditious publications, you mean. Sir Edward—Yes, seditious publications in the United Irishman. The required certificate was then appended to each bill. Mr. Mitchell was then called in due form, and ap peared. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said that Mr. Mitchell having appeared, he moved that he be required to plead in four days, in pursuance of the statute in such case provided. This was the course pursued at the late State trial in this Court. Mr. Mitchell was entitled to a copy of the indictment. The motion being granted, a similar rule was made on the second bill. Copies of the indictments were handed to Mr. Mit chell. Mr. DILLON applied to the Court, on behalf of Mr. Mi:chell, for liberty to appear henceforth by attorney in stead of in person. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL objected, as it would be opposed to the rules of the court, and no grounds had been offered in support of the motion. Mr. Justice CnAatrrori observed that the court could grant the motion if it saw sufficient grounds. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted this; and On the suggestion of the CHIEF JUSTICE the matter Was allowed to stand over to Monday. TRUE BILLS AGAINST MESSRS. O'BRIEN AND MEAGHER. Shortly after four o'clock the grand jury appeared in court; when Sir Edward Borowes announced that they had found true bills against Mr. Thomas Meagher for uttering a seditious speech on the 15th March last; and also true bills against Mr. William Smith O'Brien for uttering a seditious speech on the same day. "We find [(said the foreman) true bills on all the counts." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then made a similar motion to plead in four days to that in the case of Mr. Mitchell. Mr. DILLON said he intended to move that Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher be allowed to appear by attorney. ,The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that he did not desire to give the traversers unnecessary annoyance, and if he could accede to the motion he would. The CHIEF JUSTICE said the case could stand over to Tuesday, when the like rule would be made in all three. The Court then adjourned. The Traversers, Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, - and Meagher, walked from the rooms of the Irish Confede ration to the courts, accompanied by Messrs. O'Gorman, ten., Devin Reilly, and several other prominent members of that body. They were loudly cheered by the crowd assembled outside the court. THE DEFENCE. In reply to a question from Mr. Smith O'Brien, who Said he intended to adaress the jury himself, The ATTORNgY-GENERAL stated that he thought he might have the assistance of Counsel in all legal matters. But he recommended the Hon. 'Gentleman sto take the advice of counsel on the subject. However, he , thought there could.be no objection. • • THB INDICTMENTS; There are tyro indictments against Mr. Mitchell. • One is grounded on the article entitled " Striking terra," which relates entirely, to the late special commissions, and may be considered as an attack upon Chief Justice Black borne as one of the pre s idi ng j u d ges at t h em . Th e se cond indictment is on the letter to Lord Clarendon, who is charged therein as " the general butcher of Ireland," and another 'article entitled "French Fashion." THE SQUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—We are informed that in consequence of what took place at the general meeting of the shareholders of this company last week, the directors have detern3ined, not to complete the arrangements fuca,luggage station at the Laira, the carrying out or ich would cost probably about 2,0001., and the line will be therefore only used as a passenger line till it is brought to JiLillbay.—Pl,ymouth and Dovo,port Journal. RAILWAY IN TELLIGENCIE. KILLARNEY AND VALENTIA. A meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the George and Vulture Tavt.rn, Cornitid, Mr. Spooner, M.P., in the absence of Mr. John Attwood, the chair man of the company, presiding. The CHAIRMAIV stated that he had been called upon to preside at the meeting, but rt ally had not had time to examine the balance-sheet, which would be presented for the approval of the gentlemen assembled. The re port would be read to them, but in the belance-sheet there were unquestionably several errors—mistokes to the extent of 2,0001. or 3,000/. Ile should, therefore, recommend that the meeting be adjourned until some future day. In the meantime, if the meeting wished, of course - they would read the directors' report. At the request of a proprietor the secretary read the report, which described the difficulties the company had to encounter through the carelessness of their engineer, who at first (in 1845) informed them that tl_e length of the main line was 1311 miles, and the branch to Tralee 14 miles, for the execution of which an adequate capi tal was then subscribed; but it was subsequently found that the length of the main line was 179 miles, and the branch to Tralee 19i , miles, being an increase - of 53 miles, and requiring an additional . capital of above 600,000/. For this large increase of capital the directors had in January, 1846, to provide above 62,0001. to de posit with the Accountant-General. Owing to some informality in lodging this money, the Bill was thrown out on standing orders. The whole of the expenses of this gigantic project fell upon the present undertaking, which - received the Royal assent on the 25th of June, 1847, for a line from Killarney to Valencia, 314 miles in length. The shares were thus reduced from 251. to 101. each, and their capital to 300,000/. The directors had been in commueitation with the Government respecting the advantages of the harbour of Valencia as a packet station, with a view to obtain aid in carrying out the project. Negotiations had been entered into with the Great Southern and Western Railway Company to ob tain their countenance and assistance in carrying out .the - scheme, but thiti company had declined doing any thing for the present, or until their line shall have been completed to Cork. The directors are of opinion that some progress should be made in the undertaking, and they recommended that a portion of the line should be commenced as soon as possible, extending from Kil larney to Beaufort-bridge, a distance of six miles. For made, los. this purpose they pa,abl p e re?.p in os js e ia t y ha a t n a d ea th ll e summer.

After some discussion, the recommendation of the Chairman was adopted, and the report was received; but the statement of accounts was agreed to be referred to a future meeting, and a resolution was ultimately drawn up, adjourning the meeting to the 11th of May, at the same place, at the same hour, the secretary in the meantime preparing a balance-sheet, which should be ready on the 4th of May, and to lie at the offices of the company from that date up to the holding of the meeting for inspection. The meeting then broke np. ' . EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN. A: special meeting -of this company was held on Wednesday. at Edinburgh,. Mr. J: Balfour in the chair. Three Bills were submitted and approved—viz., for making a railway from North Queensferry to Dunferm line,' with bratichei to' Inverkeithing harbour, and the -East Pier at ,Queensferry ; for branches to Roscobie, Kiltyhead, and Glencraig; and for improving the harbour of Burntisland. The CHAIRMAN stated that it was the opinion of counsel that the Act of Amalgamation superseded the Act of Agreement with the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Company, and that the latter was not compelled to complete their works for 310,0001.; they were entitled to expend the full amount under the Act, 344,000 L, and the expense of completing the Granton line must be now considered .a debt due by the amalgamated company, without any claim upon the former company. A - resolution was passed adopting the opinion of counsel, and authorising the directors to abandon further proceedings, and settle the matter in dispute between the twocompapies. Thank swere voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonTsmouTH.—The Albion, 92, is again ready for eommission at Davenport, and we hope soon to see the pennant flying on board of her. • Her being so speedily brought forward for re-commission is the best refutation of those numerous and malignant statements which have been made to the prejudice of the ship and her designer by certain parties. The Indefatigable, 50, on the plan of W. Edye, Esq., Master Shipwright of Devunport Dockyard, will be launched in Juue next, when the Phoebe, 50, a sister ship, will be commenced on the same slip. The steam-sloop to be built at Devonport, and ordered to be called the Audacious, is to be named the James Watt. The Algiers, 90, ordered to be built at Pembroke, is ordered to be built on the slip from which the Aboukir was lately launched at Devonport. The Arrogant screw frigate, newly built, is in dock at Portsmouth, being jury-rigged to be navigated to the East India Docks, to ship her engines. ADVANCED STEAM SQITARON.—The Sphynx, Rattler, and Driver, first-class sloops, are ordered from the River t 9 this port, to complete the required squadron to the number resolved upon—twelve. On the arrival of these vessels, the advanced squadron ready for commis sion at this port will be the following:— Tons. Horse power. Retribution 1,641 800 Birkenhead 1,400 556 Centaur Cyclops Sphynx Driver 1,055 280 Rattler Pheenix Total All:the above are paddle-wheel steamers, with the excep tion of the two last, which are screw sloops. The Birkenhead is now commanded by Commander Hewlett, and a draught of men from the Excellent. The follow ing steamers are in commission at this port:— Ships. Guns. Men. Tons. Horse-pr.

The total steam force in commission here (exclusive of the tenders Fairy, Fire Queen, and Lightning), and of the advanced squadron there and ordered to this port is thirteen vessels, of 13,560 tons, and 4,778 horse power. ' - The newly-launched steam-frigate Arrogant, of . 46 guns, will be taken out of dock this day, at Portsmouth, in order that the iron failure, Jackal, Lieut. Western, may be taken in to have her bottom mowed, being covered with grass a foot long. The Bellerophon, 78 guns, Captain Baynes, now en gaged in troop service in the Mediterranean, is ordered to England instanter, and will join Napier's squadron. The Colossus, 80 gun ship, built at Pembroke, is ordered to be launched and navigated to Portsmouth, to be fitted as an advance ship, in the place of the power ful, commissioned. It is stated that sundry courts•martial will be , held on officers of the Apollo troop frigate , on that ships return to Plymouth.

Filiner, which ar rived from Woolwich, was paid advance wages on Saturday. On W.dntsday, atter lying five days at Spithead, it was discovered that she required a few tons of coal, and as there is no coal depot at Spithead, she was ordered into harbour to receive them, whereby the fuel will cost' the Government full 21. the ton. Many persons have said, " Why not have a coal depot at Spithead in these days of steam ?" We will tell them. The Government harbour pilots oppose the scheme, on account of the profits they derive from the pilotage fees, and say that steamers cannot lie along. side a coal depot at Spithead without damaging their paddle-boxes. This is mere moonshine. There can be no danger unless in a complete gale, in which case no offices' of judgment would attempt such a thing. Gene rally there is no difficulty whatever, and we are quite sure hundreds of pounds might be saved by such an establishment in a twelvemonth. The Admiralty have only to order an addition to the salary of each of s he harbour pilots in lieu . of all pilotage .fees, and the oppo sition of those parties will speedily evaporate. At pt esent they rule the Master Attendant's opinion, his, in like manner, influences that of the Admiral Superintendent, and, through him, the 'Admiralty.

SlR,—England having hitherto been in advance:of the other kingdoms of Europe, as respects the freedom of her political institutions, it seems highly desirable that she should still continue to maintain that vantage-ground. Unlcss, however, some measure should speedily be intro duced for an extension of the franchise, she will shortly be found to be lagging behind Prussia and Belgium, as well as other nations of the confluent in that respect. This fruitful source of discontent should immediately be met by an extension of the franchise to 51. house holders—by a repeal of the tax and rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill—by the Vote by Ballot—Triennial Parliaments ; and, as a further means of preventing corruption, by a declaration by all Members, before their taking their seats in the House, that they had not practised bribery, either directly or indirectly. Such a measure would satisfy all reasonable-minded persons, and give a death-blow to Chartism and discon tent. If to this were added an amelioration of the game laws, a reduction of the duties on tea and tobacco, and in lieu of them the imposition of the same probate duty on real property that is now paid on personal, there is much reason to believe that our population would again become happy and well-affected. Approving on principle of a limitation of the fran chise, I humbly conceive that the standard should be fixed so low, that no industrious, well conducted ope rative need de s p a i r o f attaining it, thus holding out to all an object o f am bi tion, and a stimulus to exertion.
