Sir,—l have the honour to request you may be pleased to inform the Lords of the Admiralty that, on the 2d instant, I dispatched the Honourable East India Company's steamer Phlegethon, commanded by Mr. G. T. Niblett, and the barge of her Majesty's ship Fox, in charge of Acting Lieutenant John R. Lawrence, to the great entrance of the Irrawaddy, to try and ant a pas sage through the Panlang branch. 2. On the morning of the 11 th the barge returned; and Mr. Lawrence reported that they had advanced as far as Yangernsiah, where the water shoaled so consider ably that the Phlegethon could not cross into the Pan lang branch; the barge, however, was enabled to do so, and proceeded down into the Rangoon river, in order that I might be acquainted with the result, and the cause of the steamer's long absence. It is with much satisfaction I learn that the object of the expedition has been accomplished. 3. I have further to request you may be pleased to in form their Lordships that, on the Phlegethon and the Fox's barge arriving off Yangernsiah, they discovered the Governor at Della, retreating with eight armed boats; chase was immediately given, and on coming up with them the enemy ran on shore, leaving their boats, in one of which was the Governor's wife, with her atten dants; they also abandoned a quantity of treasure, and most of their arms. The treasure captured amounted to eleven thousand rupees; the arms, which consisted of muskets and swords, were destroyed; and the boats, with the women, were allowed to proceed.—l have, Eec., GEORGE LAaI3ERT. A. Stafford, Esq., M-Pe &c. CAPTURE OF THE CITY OF BASSEIN. No. 28. Her Majesty's Ship Fox's Boat, at Bassein, May 20, 1852. Sir,—l request you may be pleased to inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that the Lieute nant-General commanding the forces in Burmah, having communicated his wish t o ma k e an a tt ac k on t he city of Bassein, I placed a s qua d ron o f f ours steamers at h is disposal for the service. 2. On the mo rn i ng o f th e 17 t h instant, Lieutenant- General Godwin, C. 8., the Commander of the Forces, embarked in a squa d ron w ith four hundred'of_her Ma jesty's j esty's 51st R eg i men t , three hundred of the 9th Regiment Me dras Native Infantry, sixty Sappers and Miners, the Royal Marines, and ,a detachment o f seamen, with a field gun from her Majesty's ship Fox. 3. I left the naval force at Rangoon in charge of Coin. mander Tarleton, with the Fox, and went with my boat to the Tenasserim, in which steamer I hoisted my broad pen d ant, an d pu t to sea at two o'clock in the afternoon wish the steamers named in the enclosure marked A. The Lieutenant-General accompanied me in the Tenas scrim. 4. On the evening of the 18th we anchored off the island of IsTegrais at the entrance of the Bassein River, where the Pluto joined us. I had sent her on from Rangoon a day previously, as her small power could not have enabled her to keep up with the steam frigates. 5. At daylight on the 19th the squadron weighed, and proceeded up the river; the Pluto, from her light draught, being ahead, showing the soundings. The Tenasserim led, followed by the Sesostris and Mozuffer at half a (sable's length distant. 6. At a few minutes after four o'clock in :the after noon, the fortifications of Bassein appeared in sight, consisting of a very extensive mud fort and a long line of stockade, on the left bank, on which the city stands, and a strong stockade round the'Pagoda, with a brick parapet fronting the river. Then, in an admirable posi tion on the right bank, stood a very large stockade, mounting several cannon. The enemy permitted the squadron to approach un molested. 7. At half-past four, when abreast the stockades, I made the signal to anchor; immediately afterwards Lieutenant-General Godwin expressed his wish to land the troops, which was effected in perfect order in a very short period. They had scarcely formed under the Lieutenant-General's directions, when a heavy fire was opened both with cannon and musketry from the vari es stockades, which was instantly answered by a cheer from the party landed, who stormed and carried the Pagoda. As soon as the enemy commenced firing, the ships opened their fire on the different batteries. Observing the stockade opposite the town had been silenced, I directed Commander Campbell, of the Sesos trig. to land with the boats of his own ship, and the Mo il ufter's, and to storm it, which he effected in gallant style, driving the Burmese from their guns, with consi derable loss to them in Milled and wounded. Commander Campbell has nailed my special attention to the zeal and activity displayed on this occasion by Lieu tenants Robinson and Lewis, of the Indian Navy. At half-past five I had the satisfaction of hearing that the laic and most formidable of the stockades had been carried ; tut not without considerable loss on our part from the great resistance shown by the enemy. Amongst these I have to enumerate as sufferers on this cceasion, I have to name Lieutenant George W. Rice, of her Majesty's ship Fox, who received a severe and painful wound through the right hand, whilst gallantly leading his party of seamen into the stockade: and a; this officer has been specially named by the Commander-in-Chief at the taking of Rangoon, I beg to recommend him most strongly to their Lordships' co , Asideration for promotion. I feel it my duty, also, to mention the steady conduct of the Royal Marines under the command of First Lieu tenant John Eiliott; and I cannot conclude without ex- Pressing my best thanks to Commanders Campbell and Hewett, of the Indian Navy, for the skill and ability with which they brought their ships up a river, which has hitherto been but imperfectly surveyed for a distance of more than sixty miles. Nor can I refrain from ex pressing how much I am indebted to Commanders Dicey and. Burbank, of the Bengal Marine, for the assistance I received from them; and I attribute our being able to Perform this service without accident, to the careful and eudieioue manner with which the commander of the Pluto - went in ad fence and communicated the soundings. aly thanks are general to the officers and men who Served under my orders on this occasion for the steady, gallant, and cheerful conduct with which they performed the duty, neither can I omit remarking that the most perfect unanimity prevailed between the two services. 8. Since my last visit to Negrais, the old Governor of Bassein has been removed, and the nmeat'en trusted to another officer, w h o arrived G he er r T efrom Ave, with four thousand regul ar troops,which inceeased th© strength of the garrison t o six thousand m 9. I have the honour to iorwerd herewith a list killed and wounded in the squadron.h.e casualties of The among the troops amounted to th ree men killed and ve oEceN, and seventeen men wounded. I also enclose a return of the number of cannon ctptu.red from the enemy. to. And I beg permission to bring to their Lord ships' not i ce, M r . Frederick M organ, Assistant-Sur geon of her Majesty's ship Fox, who at t ended with the storming party, and wbozie kindness to the wounded cn this on. aeon, as well as his unremitting attention to the numerous sick, during the protracted stay of the Fox i n the Rangoon River, is deserving of every praise.

Sir, —Referring to my dispatch, No. 28, of yesterday's date, I request you will inform their Lordships that after we had obtained possession of Bassein, I sent the Pluto a short distance up the river to endeavour to inter cept the retreating army. She returned this morning. and Com. Burbank acquaints me that he proceeded up the river above Bassein, about forty miles, that he com municated with the village of Mammoon, from which the inhabitants came off, and who informed him that one of the party then on board was a person in high com mand at Bassein during the attack, that he then arrested this person, and he has delivered him over to me, to gether with another officer of high rank. Commander Burbank having been informed that a party of the retreating force, in two boats, had that night left the village, he proceeded in chase, and succeeded in capturing one of the boats, in which he found a quantity of arms and ammunition, which he destroyed; the troops landed, and fled into the jungle. The Pluto afterwards fell in with another portion of the defeated Burmese, encamped, but who fled on being observed, leaving their arms, all which have been de stroyed, as well as their barracks. The party of seamen from the Fox embarked in the Pluto to assist in these operations, under Mr. _Lisboa, Midshipman. The Proserpine steam-vessel having joined me from Moulmein, I dispatched her with the Fox's marines to destroy some unoccupied stockades in the neighbourhood of the village of Naputa, which was accomplished with out any opposition, assisted by the villagers. The Lieutenant -General intends leaving two hundred men of her Majesty's 51st, and three hundred of the 9th Regiment of Madras Native Infantr y, to garrison Bassein, to which I have added the Sesostris steam frigate. The remainder of the troops embarked to day, and to-morrow the squadron will return to Ran goon.—l have, S i ~ gned) GEORGE R. LAMBERT. OPERATIONS IN THE IRRAWADY. No. 31. Fox, at Rangoon, May 24, 1852. Sir,—ln continuance of my letter, No. 27, I have the honour to request you will inform their Lordships that the Phlegethon returned here to-day, having made a most successful expedition in conjunction with the barge of this ship, in charge of Acting Lieutenant Lawrence, which I had dispatch e d to join him on the 11th instant. While Commodore Niblett was waiting for sufficient water to get into Rangoon River, I directed him to re connoitre Donabew; he accordingly proceeded to that place, and found that the Governor of Dallah had fled, and that this once famous stronghold was unoccupied and defenceless. The inhabitants seemed desirous of affording every assistance, and informed him that a con siderable force was collected further up the river, to which spot he also proceeded; and, at about 10 miles above Donabew, near the tower of Sagadjee, he fell in with them. The Phlegethon opened fire upon this force, consisting of about 5,000 men, which retreated and fell back upon Sarawah, a town 30 miles higher up the river. He af terwards ascertained that a portion of them crossed over to Howsada, at the junction of the Bassein river. Commander Niblett informs me that, wherever the Phlegethon made her appearance, he was received by the natives with every demonstration of friendship; and an anxiety for him to remain and afford them protection from the marauders and Burmese troops.—l have, &c.

SITGAR.-To-day the West India Sugar market pre sented a firmer appearance; there was a good demand not only from grocers but also refiners; the prices ob tained being fully equal to those of Friday. At auction 201 hhds Barbadoes sold with fair spirit at previous terms, fine yellow realized 375 ed to 385 6J, middlin g to good 33s to 375, ordinary 3,2 s to 32s 6d , and one lot good grainy 40s per cwt. REFINED.-To• day there was no improvement in prices of Refined Sugar, but the home trade demand was evidently more active; brown lumps at 44s to 44e 6d, and low to fine grocery lumps 45s to 46s 6d, per cwt. The market for Crushed Sugar has a dull aspect, and easier rates are accepted. MAIIRITIUS.-This afternoon holders are firmer, and offered none at public sale; privately operations were upon a more extended scale, at previous rates. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in much better demand, and the previous value was well sustained for all descriptions. The parcels at auction, amounting to 4,900 bags, were nearly all disposed of- Benares good to fine white went at 36s 6d to 39d 6d, low to mid 34s 6d to 365, damp and washed 335 to 38s, mid and good soft yellow 27s to 305, good to fi n e like Mauritius 33s 6d to 36s 6d, and fine grainy yellow 383 6d to 39s per cwt. Of Madras none was offered at auc tion, but privately several parcels were sold at full t erms. FOREIGN.-To-day rather lower rates being acc e p ted for Foreign Sugar occasioned a better demand to p revail, especially for exportation. Since Friday operatio ns are three cargoes yellow Havannah at 20s 6d to 22 s 3d for numbers llf to 14f ; two of brown Pernam buco at 15s 4d; some parcels white Havannah at 285 t o o 305, and 800 chts yellow at 35s to 39s for ordinary fine. There was again no public sale. era M e o t L A India,ss n s - and 'r Li priceser e is haveyet a slightly reluctance e et way.o p small parcels were disposed of, and supply is on the 14 s in crease. Prices for Antigus and Barbadoes rul e at . to 15s. St. Kitts and Lucia 12s to 13 3 6 d. In Benga l.o - and Mauritius purchases have been trifling at 3 t 12s 6d, Porto Rico and Cuba 14s 6d to 15 s 6d. Tama rinds less in request, and more desire is evinced to supsell West India at 24s to 40s, East India 7s to 129, otee in ly West ply is not more plentiful. For Honey there iet s y 4 veral buyers, Jamaica at 35s to 40s, Cube 323 to soe bu s, and Narbourne 50s to 60s per cwt. COFFEE.-This afternoon Plantation Cey was in brisk demand, and the rates obtained were ra ther h above those of Friday. At auction 30 0 cas ks, 50 ate rels, and 300 bags were disposed of, good to fine ord at l o w mid 505 to 525, fine fine ord 535 to 543,10 n Coffee 55s to 565, mid and good mid 57s to 60s, triage 43s to 48 s , and black 355. Native was in fair r eques t privately at 44s 6d to 455, and at auction 80 bags realized 453 6d for very jama g ic o a od wa or i ordinary, and e a r nd de 4 m 2 a s ed t , o ae 4 d 3 s eti e ff d ev for rates da a m r a e ged. ob teined. At public sale 160 casks 150 brls and bags were disposed of, ordinary to good ordinary at 44s to 465, fine to fine fine ordinary 47s to 525, and triage 35s to 43s per cwt. Fore ga Coffee is wanted, and rates are rather higher for Costa Rica. Mocha was sold to a fair extent privately at a small advance. Cocoa.-The demand does not improve for West India. and previous rates are barely sustained although consumption is favourable, but stock is heavy, and ex ceeds that of last year by 6,500 bags, prices showing a reduction of, 6s to 8s per cwt. There are sellers of Trinidad, grey 28s to 325, low middling red 32s 6cl to 355, and good to fine 36s to 40s. At auction 250 bags and sales 6 ba have g s Br b e b e a n - G do e s ren 2 a d 6s a 6 s d o l t el e 2 a s t 3 2 p 6 e s r e e d w t t o . 32 1 1 2 6 d foreign, small,to 269, and an d Gay desire e i aci is evinceduiiiat 303t0 sell Bahia e a e n a. d t Pa s r t a ee a k t 25s is still rather smaller than it was last season. TEA.-There is no general decline to notice for Congou, although dealers have operated with caution, and supply is plentiful; the better sorts are least in request. Prices for low to good ord rule at 7d to Bd, rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf 9d to 100, strong and Pekoe kinds lld to ls 63. Of fine and good Souchong several parcels have been sold at Is Id to is 10d, and supply is not larger, still few buyers of low or mid are to be found, and sellers are willing to accept 8d to ls. Oolong is wanted, and rates continue firm at is to is 8d for good to fine, and inferior 8d to is. A good sale exists for clean Pouchong at 5d to 7d, and stock shows a further decrease. In prices of Green scarcely any variation is apparent. Good to fine Gunpowder, best Imperial, and true Young Hyson are in good demand, but for other sorts of Green there are few buyer, and with ready sellers. Prices for Green now range as follows :-low to mid Hyson is 2d, good to fine is 3d to 2s 3d, choice 2s 4d to 2s 10d, Young Ifyson Canton 8d to I Id. klyson kind Is to is 7d, fine and superior is 8d to 2s 2d, Twankay 10d to is, Gunpowder Canton 9d to Is, Hyson sort is 3d to 2s 7d, fine 2s 8d to 3s 4d, Imperial Canton 10d to ls ld, Hyson sort is 2d to 2s 2d, Caper 8d to 10d, Scented 10d to Is sd, and Hyson skin 7d to is per lb. Flowery Pekoe finds a more ready sale, yet at present no advance has been established, fine sell ing at is 9d to 33 3d, and low to good is 2d to is Bd, but in other sorts little is doing, and sellers are willing to accept 9d to is 3d. The demand is not better for prices are accepted, and sSuCpenptlyeddloCesapneo,t al t hough . Io w RICE.-To -day Rice was in excellent demand, and previous rates were well sustained. At auction 3,500 bags Madras were sold at 8s 6d to 9s 63 for mid and good pinkey, but chiefly at 9s; 2,900 bags Bengal, good to fine white lOs 6 d to lls per cwt. PEPPER is not much in demand, and rates are barely sustained. At auction 500 bags Malaba, sold at 4kd to 444 for heavy. ieo3yr3eorersr to d i 4n gallon, 40 per GINGER.-Prices rem a i n l ow, w i t h on l y a li m i te d de mand.

In Leeward Island sales have been immaterial, and la 5d to Is 5f d is now the value proof; but supply is not more plentiful. East India has been operated in with caution, and is 4d is the quotation for fair quality. There is no general decline for Jamaica; still exporters and home dealers are reluctant to make purchases, and supply is plentiful. Superior marks 35 to 38 per cent over proof can be obtained at 33 4d to 3s 10d, fine 2s 9d to 3s 3d, good mid to good 32 to 35 over 2s 3d to 2s Bd, mid 30 to 32 over 2s to 2s 2d, and low 26 to 28 over 15 10d to Is lld per gallon. The value of Havannah is ls 3d to Is 3d proof. In the British made Spirit trade there is not much activity, still rates are not lower, ruling at 9s 7d to 9s 8d cash; Gin 85 2d to 8s 3d to 22 under, and 17 ditto 8s 8d to 8s 9d. Geneva met with more attention at is 8d to Is 9d, and fine ditto at. 24 to 2s 3d per gallon. To day a large business was concluded in Brandy at improved prices; sales made at 4s 7d to 4s 9d for Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1851. ___ INDlGo.—Although there are few buyers of East In dia for the home or foreign markets, yet holders are firm, and wilt not sell under last quarterly sale's terms. Since that time operations have not exceeded 800 chests. Spanish is held with firmness, and there are several buyers of ord sorts, at present goad or fine are meeting with little attention. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with little attention, and rather lower rates were accepted. At auction 220 bgs were sold; Honduras silvers, good ord to good 4s to 4s 2d, Mexican 3s 10d to 3s 11d, and black 4s 2d to 4s 6d, FRUlT.—Currants continue to be much in demand, and there is a further advance, sales having been made at 47s to 53s per cwt.

The preparations for the fete of the 15th are ac tively progressing in Paris. The spiral has nearly wound its whole length round the column of the Place Vendome, from the base to the summit, and the skeleton fabric which is to figure forth the great St. Bernard already rises over the Pont de la Concorde. The pedestal, with eagles and statues, and its bas relief, already covers the rond-point midway from the Champs Elysees to the triumphal arch. The character of these ornaments, even in their present incomplete form, is eminently Imperial. The tradesmen of the Presidential household are not backward in im parting the same tone to the decorations they affix over their doors and shop windows. One in parti cular is evidently anxious for the time when the needle shall be plied for an Imperial cus tomer. At the great tailoring establish ment on the Italian Boulevards, at the corner of the rue Lepelletier, may even now be seen the Imperial arms in plaster of Paris ; the eagle issuing from the centre, and grasping in his claw the star of the Legion of Honour ; and the shield, en circled by the collar of the Order, reposes on the Im perial mantle, thickly studded with bees ; the whole surmounded by an Imperial crown. Some time ago, ColoneliGuimard, condemned by the High Court for the part he took in the plot of June 13, 1849, was pardoned and liberated from prison. Some singular consequences have resulted from the civil i ncapacities incurred 19y M. Guimard; in fact this reprieved rebel is regarded by the state as civilly defunct. The papers with which he provided his son for admission to the naval school have been rejected, as he can be no longer accounted a living legal father. The registration dues for the transmission of his inheri tance have been demanded from his children. A fellow prisoner of M. Guimard, released at the same time, found that hi s w if e h ad taken advantage of h i s c i v il d eat h to contract a second marriage, which is sanctioned by the law. In the reign of Louis Plailii p a similar cats occurred. General Clouet, sentenced by default to a punishment involving civil death for having taken part in the insurrection of La Vendee, took refuge in Portugal. On hi s return t o F rance , a f ter t h e f a ll o f Don Miguel, whose troops he had commanded, he found that hi s l a d y ha d conso l e d herself for his ab sence by marrying another. The General brought an action against her for bigamy, which he lost. Michel Ney, the grandson of Marshal Ney, and son of General the Duke of Elchingen, has entered the 7th Dragoons as a volunteer.

The Piedmontese Minister of Finance having re fused to admit French wines existing in the port of Genoa before the 22d ult. to the reduced duties granted to ,French wines after that period, the wine merchants of Genoa petitioned the Minister on the subject, and sent a deputation to wait upon him. This deputation was received on the 25th ult. The Minis ter said he could not take upon himself to deoide the question, but he would grant two months' time for the introduction of wines in bond at Genoa ; and would lay the matter before the Chambers when they met. This answer was considered favourable to the views of the petitioners.

OF TUESDAY MORNI NG , E I GHT O'CLOC K .

Mort en succeeded consider able in capturing John Broom e , e who, it will be re membered, absconded fro m his bail at an d D d a i d frc difficulty, f our assizes. I t appears that on the discovery th at Broome had " bolted " from Lewes, a telegraphic com munication was dispatched to Superintendent Morten at Tunbridge Wells, who immediately gave chase. .116 efnris were, however, unsuccessful ; bat steps having been taken to " blockade the ports" on this coast, it w a T s suspected that Johnny was still lying perdue in England. From information which Morten received last week from the Chief Commissary of Police in Belgium, with whom he had pl iced himself in c ommunication, he proceeded to Lon don on Thursday last, whence having procured a letter of introduction to her Majesty's Belgian Consul, an d fortified with a judges warrant, he proceeded forthwith to Ostend. It seems Broome had been reco,Y. nised by the Belgian police, and, although a t l a , was under close bu t unsuspected surveillance. From Ostend Messrs. Morten and Dadson went forward to Brussels, where they a pprehended him while he was sitting at dinner in that town, d and he is now lodged in prison.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Fire Queen steam yacht, Lieutenant Mason, of the Victory, Acting- Commander, proceeded to Rycle this afternoon, and brought to off the pier, where she embarked her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia and her royal consort the Prince George of Mecklenberg Strelitz, and brought them to this har bour, with the Russian Imperial Standard at her main, which the flag-ship Victory saluted. The illustrious visitors landed at the King's•stairs in this dockyard, where Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs and staff was in waiting to receive them, and proffered his carriage to convey them to the railway terminus at Landport, en route to London, leaving by the 2.15 P.M. train. Their Highnesses will return to the Isle of Wight in about a week. The Harpy iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Williams, removed her ammunition at Spit heact this morning, and came into harbour this after noon to be paid off. The Wasp, 14, steam-sloop, Acting-Commander Pritchard, whose arrival at Spithead we noticed yesterday, left the Bights on the Ist of June, and Ascension on the 19th, at which date the Pene lope, 16, Captain Lyster, carryi ng th e b roa d p en d an t of ommodore (now Rear-Admiral) Bruce ; Cygnet, 3 ; Bloodhound, 2 ; Tortoise, 12 ; were lying at that island. In the Bights were the Volcano steam-sloop; Waterwitch, 8 ; Myrmidon steam-tender; Hound, 10 ; and Polyphemus steam-sloop. On the south coast were the Alecto steam-sloop, Prometheus, and Firefly (senior officer) steam-sloops ; Harlequin, 12, and Dolphin, 3 ; and on the north coast the Crane, 6, and Spy, 3. The Wasp brought home Mr. James, mate of the Spy, as Lieutenant of the Wasp ; Dr. Walling, joined from the Penelope • Mr. Blakely, mate, Acting-Lieut en a n t o f th e Volcano; and Mr. Phillips, mate, Acting-Lieutenant of the Cygnet. She reports the Firefly and Prometheus each having lately made a prize, but the slave trade was effectually checked. Lieutenant Cartright of the Sealark, and Lieutenant Spencer, also Lieutenant Bent, on pro motion, have come home in the Wasp ; also Mr. Green, second master, invalided. Dr. Cockburn, sur geon of the Wasp, died on the coast. The foremast of this vessel is very defective, and will have to be taken out, and she needs a new after cylinder. She was officially inspected by Flag-Captain G. B. Martin, C. 8., to-day for the Port-Admiral, and her crew exercised in gunnery. She sails for Woolwich. The Niger, 14, screw-sloop, Commander Heath, was inspected at Spithead this afternoon by the Flsg- Captain Martin, and her crew exercised in gunnery. She is ordered into this harbour to be paid off. The Leopard, 10, new steam-frigate, has been masted to-day, to be fitted out as one of the advanced squadron in reserve at this port. The Edinburgh, 56, is in the Angle Dock, with sails bent. She is to come out again on the 12th inst. Her catheads require to be raised, as her two fore most ports on her lower deck cannot be opened, as the best and small bower anchor stocks come just before them. She is coaling in dock. This ship in her prac tice cruise fired away in day and night practice no less than five tons of gunpowder, and a corresponding allowance of shot and shell. In a night exercise at a floating lantern the gallant Captain Chads himself knocked the lantern away, but the half-crown (awarded to such practice) was given to the captain of the gun from which the shot was fired. The ships at Spithead, the Blenheim, the Tiger, the Wasp, and the Niger, got the man ropes on the yards this morning, in anticipation of the royal squa dron passing through the anchorage. The 7th Royal Fusileers leave this garrison to morrow and the next day, in two divisions. An Irish steam-boat is now alongside the dockyard, embarking baggage. She will sail to-morrow with the first di vision, returning back for the second. The Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. George Allen, acting master R.N., commanding, left this evening for Plymouth with supernumeraries. The Marlborough Indianian (one of Smith's fleet) sailed from St. Helen's to-day, for Port Philip; Australia, with emigrants. The Vimiera emigrant ship eailed from Spithead this afternoon, for Australia. DEVONPORT, AUG. B.—Orders have been received here to hasten the Cornwallis, now in No. 5 Dock fitting for a military dep6t at Hong-Kong. Ship wrights will be taken from the Havaonah and Brisk, and from such other works as they can be best spared, and the ship will be complete about the middle of October. The Savage brig is to be prepared and fitted for a chain lighter for Malta. Jury masts and sails are to be prepared for her, and report when she is ready. When sawyers fall back as labourers in the dock yards, they are to be paid as skilled labourers, at the rate of 2s. 6d. per day. Aid lighterarrived to-day with stores from Chatham. SHEERNESS, MONDAY. - Her Majesty's ship Daphne, 18, Captain E. G. Fanshawe, made her number off the Nore yesterday at 250 P.M., and ~ ‘aluted the flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, Commander-in• Chief, which compliment was acknowledged by the Waterloo, 120. The Daphne then beat up to the Little Nore, where she anchored. She has been in commission since the 28th of October, 1848, and was designed by Sir W. Symonds, launched at Pembroke in 1838, and is of 726 tons burden. She is to be pail off at Chatham. Her Majesty's brig Nerbudda, 12, has been taken into dock at Chatham-yard for the purpose of being got ready for commission. She was built at Bombay in 1847 from designs of Sir W. Symonds, and is of 445 tons measurement. Her Majesty's brig Daring, 12, at Chatham, has been docked for the purpose of having her bottom examined and defects made good. She was built in 1844 from designs of Mr. White, at Cowes, and some years since formed one of the experimental brig squadron, consisting (with herself) of Sir W. Sy monds's Flying Fish, Mr. Bake's Osprey, Mr. Fin cham's Mutine, and Messrs. Read, Chatfield, and Creuze's Espiegle, all launched about the same period. Of these the Daring and Espiegle only are now on the list of the navy, the Osprey and the Mutine hav ing been wrecked, the former at New Zealand, the latter in the Adriatic, and the Flying Fish is con demned as unfit for further service. The Daring, we hear, will be shortly put in commission. Her Majesty's ship Nankin, 50 v of 2,049 tons, launched at Woolwich in 1850, and built from designs of Mr. 0. W. Lang, is brought forward for active service, in place of the Leander, 50, whose term of commission will expire the latter end of the ensuing month. The men belonging to the Coast Guard at this port have attained a great degree of proficiency in the great gun exercise, & c . A short time since, while firing with a reduc e d c h a rge at a target placed in the sea at a distance of 800 yards, the shots were directed with much precision, striking the bull's eye more than once. One of them, rather a young man, previous to ,his taking aim, selected which of the stanchions of the target he would bit, and carried away each suc cessively. APPOINTMENTS.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug 7. CIVIL S 11).E.—(Before Mr. Justice CELSSWELL.) MASTERS V. JOHN , ON. Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Phipson appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Gray for the defendant. The plaintiff was a commercial traveller, and the defendant a wholesale draper at Birmingham, and the action was for 1661., the balance of a three-quarters of a years' salary at 2501. a year. The chief question in the case was, whether the plaintiff was engaged by the week at 41. 10s., or by the year at 2501. Both plaintiff and defendant were examined, and they swore point blank against each other, the plaintiff swearing that it was a yearly hiring at 2501., and the defendant swearing that it was only a weekly hiring at 41. 103. Each was corroborated to a certain extent by other witneasee and evidence. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, expressly told the jury that, whatever way they might decide, it would be impossible to arrive at any other conclusion than that either the plaintiff or the defendant came into the witness-box with a deliberate intention to forswear himself and deceive them. The case commenced about two o'clock yesterday, and did not close till ten o'clock to-day, when The jury, after a few minutes'consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. The following case was tried before a special jury : CIIESSHYRE V. NORMAN.—LIBEL. Mr. Alexander, Q.C., Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Fallon appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Pigott for the defendant. This was an action against the publisher of the Cheltenham Examiner, for a libel on a Cheltenham attorney. The libel appeared as an advertisement, in the shape of a letter from " A Looker-on" to the editor. After alluding to two cases of alleged ob struction and assault, brought by a Mr. Blagdon, a county magistrate, and the Rev. Mr. Shute, against a man named Hill , and heard before two magistrates at petty sessions at Cheltenham, when plaintiff ap peared as Hill's attorney, the libel stated that he, " after most unnecessarily having attempted to brow beat Mr. Shute, and seeing that the case was evi dently against his client, got up, and instead of making a defence, commenced a most bitter and un provoked attack upon the character of Mr. Blagdon —assailed him with the vilest epithets, and charged him with the meanest motives, by no means re straining his observations to the truth or the evi dence before him. This conduct, though extremely bad as disgraceful in itself, I do not so much find fault with, and doubtless Mr. Chesshyre thought it was his proper line of business ; and, not pretending to be a gentleman, of course he cannot be supposed to have any respect for the feelings of a gentleman. So this point I dismiss. But really, Sir, I think any right minded man must feel exceedingly indignant that the presiding magistrate could allow an attorney to vilify and a'perse the character of a country gentleman, a member of the bench on which he was sitting, and, I may add, who has been a member of that bench for a number of yeara—that be permitted such slanderous and disgraceful language is most lamentable. Such violent language es Mr. Cheeshyre used ought to have been checked at the outset; or, is it come to this, that a gentleman cannot appear as a witness in a case with out being insulted to his face by an insignificant at torney who may be entrusted with a vagabond's de fence. The presiding magistrate's duty was plain. No such language should have been permitted; if such infamous conduct were universal our courts of justice would soon be converted into bear-gardens, and any gentleman who might happen to thwart the views of a paltry attorney might be called upon to listen to lan guage which, according to the established rules of society, he evidently could not resent. In conclusion, I am sure you will agree with me when I say that it augurs badly for our town, when a bench of magi strates will listen to the insulting tirade of a vulgar demagogue, who would court popular favour at the expense of truth and justice. As Mr. Blagdon very wisely remarked, such conduct as Mr. Chesshyre displayed may win the applause of the mobility. But, Sir, is the bench to be mobbed ? are our laws to be hoodwinked? are the ends of justice to be defeated by impudent blusterers ?" Immediately on the appear ance of this document the plaintiff desired that the author should be given up ; but the defendant de clined to do so, and said he should be legally respon sible for it. Thereupon this action was commenced. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification to the effect that Mr. Chesshyre's conduct at the petty sessions warranted the description given of it. The evidence of the two magistrates who presided on that occasion completely disproved this justification, and showed that the plaintiff's conduct was most pro per and becoming, and that the utmost that could be said against him was, that he was irritated as well as Mr. Blagdon, and that he did say that the charge was a trumpery one, and that he used the word partisan - in reference to Mr. Blagdon. Mr. WHATELEY, in addressing the jury in mitiga tion of damages, urged that the libel was an excellent advertisement of the plaintiff; for which he ought to be thankful ; that to publish of him that he browbeat a county magistrate was very likely to make his for tune ; that he must feel so in his heart, and that he would never have thought of bringing the action if it were not for the temptation of costs. The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 403. His L"DsHIP granted a certificate . for the costs of a special jury. had so outraged the law must undoubtedly be punished.

Now, if they s hould find that any of the prisoners charged proceeded so far in their rioting as to begin to destroy and dem olish the chapels of the Roman Catholics then they would come within the statue, but they must be satisfied that th ere had been an intention to demolish, either by re or some other mode. It was not necessary that the places of worship should actually molisbed, because it might be that the presence of the police had prevented the demolition being cam-. pleted. The intentional beginning of the work ct demolition was sufficient to bring the prisoners within the meaning of the statute.

Mr. Justice Crompton presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Taifourd at Nisi Prius. Numerically the calendar was lighter than usual, but several of the cases, including the Stockport rioters, were of a serious character. The grand jury having been sworn, Mr. Justice CROMPTON proceeded to deliver his charge. He said he was afraid that he could not congratulate them as he had had the pleasure of doing the grand juries all around the Welsh Circuit, as to the state of crime in this county. Although there were not so many cases in the calendar as there had been on former occasions, yet it contained a con siderable number, and many of them were cases of a serious description. Among them he found that there was a very frightful case of the murder of a mother by her son, which would very likely involve the state of mind of the individual charged with the offence. After alluding to some of the general cases in the ca• lender, his Lordship dwelt at considerable length on the charges arising out of the Stockport riots. He lamented extremely the disturbances which had re cently taken place in the large manufacturing town of Stockport. Religious animosities seemed to have arisen between the Roman Catholics and her Ma jesty's Protestant subjects in that town, and in some measure also a feeling of hostility between the English and the Irish existed. It was very much to be lamented that these dissen sions should occur, but it would be for the grand jury minutely to inquire into the charges preferred, to see if the law of the land had been violated and the Queen's peace broken. Probably they might find that the law had been violated on t both sides, an d th a t b ot h these part i es h a d brought themselves within the terms of the:statute bearing on the offence.

One of our lat e Judges had said " he thought it right to show the abh orrence with which the laws of England viewed the riotous assemblages of the people. If any portion of the community feared that their religious rights were interfered with they must be protected. The law protected them in their persons and property and in the exercise of those religious ri g ht s w hi ch were, perhaps, dearer to them th an their lives—the to worship their M a k er in the form they h ri a g d ht inherited from their fathers. In this respect the law of England placed the Roman Catholic on the same footing as the Protestant, and protected their places of religious worship. There were statutes in force particularly bearing upon their religious places of worship, and it was of importance that they should have every confidence in the just administration of the law with regard to themselves. The Roman Catholics should have confidence that the Govern ment would not interfere with them in the exercise of their religious services, and, indeed, there was the pledge of the Crown to that effect, for, on a recent occasion, warning the Roman Catholics against the violation of some particular statute, the Queen was advised to say, " We are resolved to protect our. Roman Catholic subjects in the exercise of their reli gious rights." While they kept within the law the rights of the Roman Catholics would be as much re spected as the rights of Protestants themselves. In these cases their duty :;would simply be to inquire 1 whether there had been a violation of any particular law, either on the one side or the other. The Learned Judge, in continuation, proceeded to point out the bearing of the law upon the subject.
