CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. tahe past w ee k' s arr i va l s o f a ll ki n d s o f gra i n , o f h ome uunee including Flour, were on a very limited scale. i l°nl_, Ir eland and Scotland scarcely any grain came to n but from abr oa d we rece i ve d 13,004 qua rt e r s of ditto st 6 54 ditto of Barley, 21,610 ditto of Oats, 565 10,488 i o n l Beans, 1,798 di t t o o f P eas , 233 di tto o f T ares , of dit S e ed s, n, 130 ditto of Rapeseed, 140 ditto sundrY 1,722 sacks and 300 barrels of Flour. ( t i le quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to, -I 'coastwise and by land carriage, was moderately naive. A large portion of it was of the present Year's growth, and great l y out o f con di t i on, as a proof 414 w hich, we may state, that several samples o f re d were offered as low as 448 to 46s per quarter. The show of re allY fi ne samples being small, the weather ports respecting Petatoes by still unfavourable for harvest work, and the re steady, though we .the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was no means satisfactory, cannot call it brisk—at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of from 2s to, in some instances, 4s per quarter, and at which the whole of the old qualities were disposed of. The quantity of free Fo reign Wheat on the market was, comparatively speak ing, small. That article move d off read i ly, at 28 to 3 s per quarter more money. I n B on d e d Wh eats, rat h er a large speculative business was tran sac t e d, a t a rise in the prices uarter, of this day se'nnight, of from 4s to 5s per high er cargoes w ere 3 s to 4s per quarter igher, with a good d eman d from the out y ports. Scarcel a single sampl e o f home-grown Bade)? was on ga l e i while the supply of ! foreign THE MN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1.848. was only moderate. The demand for all kinds of Barley was firm, and the quotations improved quite Is. per quarter. The show of Malt being by no means adequate to the wants of the buyers, the Malt trade was brisk, at an advance in the currencies of 3s to 4s per quarter. Parcels for delivery was held at a similar improvement. We were rather scantily supplied with Oats, which moved off readily, at a further rise in value of is per quarter. The supply of those home-grown was small in the extreme. All kinds of Beans moved off freely, and, in some instances, the prices were is per quarter higher. The sale for Peas was brisk, at 2s per quarter more money. Indian Corn and Meal advanced is to 2s per quarter, and Is. per barrel. The Flour trade was brisk, and the best town made parcels rose to 55s per 2801bs . ing from him a watch, value 61. and two sovereigns hi goods and moneys. Mr. Huddlestone was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that on the 18th of August, he met the prisoner, who stated that there were two policemen after him upon a charge of smuggling, that 1001. reward had been offered for him, but that he could settle it for him if he would give him 101. The prisoner then took the prosecutor's watch from him, and two sovereigns. The jury tound the prisoner Guilty, and The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to ten years' transportation. Richard Hardy, 22, a respectable looking young man, a weigher in the London Docks, pleaded guilty to.an in dictment charging him with stealing thirteen ounces weight of cigars, the property of the London Dock Company, from their docks, and was sentenced to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. James Johnson, 26, a labourer, was convicted of stealing 47 dollars, and other pieces of foreign coin, the moneys of Johann Herting, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment and hard labour. Gcorge Adams, John Arundell, and Win. Robins were con victed of stealing a purse, value 6d., and 165., the property of Jane Price, from her person. Adams and Robins, having been twice previously convicted, were sentenced to ten years' transportation, and Arundel l was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.) Joshua Shaw, a c abinet-maker, was charged b efore Mr. Hall with assaulting William Jones, of No. 5, Tottenham place, Tottenham-court-road, and creating a disturbance at his door. It appeared that the defendant occupied a furnished lodg ing in the house of the complainant, who was a fellow •work. man in the same shop. The rent fell in arrear to the amount of 155., and on Thursday last, when Shaw was from home, complainant turned his wife and child out of the house, put a broker into the room, w ho distrained, and took away a few articles belonging to the tenant; and afterwards the landlord removed his own furniture from the room. The defendant on Sunday having effected an entrance, he (as the complainant stated) assaulted the latter, and created a great disturbance at the door. The defendant complained bitterly of the harsh conduct of the landlord, in turning his wife and child into the streets. He, with his wife and child, had not been able to get a lodging since, but had been walking about the streets every night. On Sunday he went to Tottenham-place for a parcel, which he had given to another lodger in Jones's house, to take care of for him. When he was admitte d he met the landlord in the hall, and seeing in his hands his (defendant's) case of ra zors, he said the broker ought to have had them, and he (Shaw) ought to have received a catalogue. Upon this, the complainant told him to go to the broker's, and attempted to push him out. He was much provoked, and committed the assault complained of. Mr. HALL told the complainant that he had behaved ille gally in forcibly ejecting the defendant's wife, and in remov ing his own goods from the room, He had a legal right to distrain any goods belonging to the tenant, for rent in ar rear, but not to strip the room of the furniture, the use of which was hired to the defendant. The magistrate made some further remarks upon the unnecessary harshness which landlords often showed in the exercise of their right. It was daily complained of in that court; and in this case, as in every other of the kind, whilst he recommended the tenant not to resist the law in any way, he should tell the landlord that he was not to take the law into his own hands, nor could he legally withhold an inventory from the tenant, as was too frequently and dishonestly done. The defendant having promised to give up the key to Jones, and not to molest him in future, was then discharged, much to the satisfaction of a crowded court. During last week the imports of foreign stock into London were as follows: — From whence. Beasts. Sheep. Harlingen ... 161 ... Amsterdam ... 34 ... 715 ... Havre .. 62 ...

At South ampton, no stock has arrived from Portugal, but two cargoes of Beasts are expected this week. The Go vernment inspector, Mr. Simonds, having seized 500 foreign Sheep, owing to their being diseased, the supply of stock from abroad in to-day's market was compara tively small, yet the general demand was far from active. The Sheep above referred to have been sent into the Essex marshes. With home-fed Sheep our market was very scantily supplied, the time of year considered; but the show of Beasts was tolerably good, that of Lambs, Calves, and Pigs, moderate. As the number of really prime Beasts was comparatively small, the demand for that description of stock was firm, at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday last, viz from 4s to 4s 2d per 81be. The middling and inferior breeds moved off slowly, at barely last week's quotations. The general quality of the Sheep supply was by no means prime. For all breeds the demand was firm, but we have no improvement to notice in prices. The primest old Downs sold readily, at from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs, and at which a good clearance was effected. There was only a moderate inquiry for Lambs, yet late figures were supported in every instanee. The currencies ranged from 4s to 5s per 81bs. The Veal trade was tolerably firm, at fully last quotations. In Pigs scarcely any business was transacted. The bullock drovers from the northern grazing districts consisted of about 1,000 short horns; from the eastern counties , 800 Scots and short ' horns. from the western and midland ditto, 800 Here fords,Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; ad from Scotland, 240 Scots. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) John Flood, a notorious thief, was charged before Mr. Bingham with having stolen three clothes brushes, from the shop of Mr. Deprose. Hemmings-row. Robert Deprose, the prosecutor's son, said that on Satur day afternoon, about half-past five, he was serving a customer in the shop, when a person came in and told him that a lad had stolen three brushes from the board outside. Witness ran out and saw the prisoner running towards St. Martin's lane, with the brushes under his arm. He pursued and came up with him just as he was crossing the street. The prisoner threw the brushes away, and tried to make his escape. A constable at that time came up and took the pri soner into custody. The primmer, who did not deny the charge, was committed for trial. Joseph Skewarhl, and Mary, his wife, were placed before Mr. :Bingham, charged with being drunk and assaulting a police-constable in the execution of his duty. Police-constable E 102,said he was on duty in Tottenham court-road, shortly after two o'clock this morning, when be saw the female prisoner rolling herself in the mud on the pavement. The male prisoner was trying to lift her up, but in consequence of being in such a state of intoxication, he failed in the attempt. Witness then went and assisted the woman to get up. The man then came and accused him with taking liberties with his wife, and, without saying another word, struck and kicked witness several times. He was pro ceeding to further violence when another constable came to the assistance of witness, and took the man into custody, The prisoners pleaded intoxication as the cause of their present disgraceful position. Mr. Bnicarnm discharged the woman, and committed the man to the House of Correction for ten days for the assault on the constable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SUNDAY. YORK AUGUST MEETING.—FRIDAY (CONCLUDED). THE GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES.--(FURTHER PAR TICULARS.) —Betting at starting-5 to 2on Springy Jack, and 6to 1 agst Queen of the May. Beverlac and Queen of the May got away together, the former with a slight lead, followed by Wiasma, Queen of the May, Reality, and the Swiss Boy, the favourite lying in the rear, with Distaffina and the Miss Lydia filly. Beverlac retired before he reached the mile post, and Fleur de Seine took up the running, which, with Wittama, Queen of the May. Swiss Boy, and Reality, in waiting. she car ried on to the gravel road. Springy Jack and Queen of the May then went in front, closely followed by Dis taffina and the Miss Lydia filly. Half way up the dis tance Queen of the May gave place to Distaffina, and the race seemed to lie between her and Springy Jack; Miss Lydia filly, however, came a few strides from home, and to the uproarious delight of the fielders, defeated them in very clever style by a length; Distaffina losing the second money :by a head only. Queen of the May was a bad fourth, Reality fifth, and Fleur de Seine sixth. Run in 3 min. 33 secs. It is rather singular that the winner was altogether omitted in the card of the day, and, so lightly was she thought of by her party, was not backed for a shilling. The results of this race and the Ebor St. Leger base quite revolutionized the St. Leger betting. The weather was very fine this afternoon, and the attendance im mense. The meeting, looking at it without reference to the weather, was the best and most interesting ever held at York. Mr. Meiklam is the new steward in the place of Mr. Fox. Owing to the very unfavourable state of the weather yesterday morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness were prevented taking their usual walks until nearly noon. _ _ The Royal dinner party, on Friday, included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her lady in waiting, and the Baroness de Speth. This morning the heavy rain kept the whole of the Royal Family within doors until a late hour. Yesterday being the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, a fete took place in the grounds at Osborne. Tippoo Saib's tent and several large mar quees were erected upon the lawn opposite to the principal entrance, and most of the residents in the neighbourhood, as well as some of the principal visitors at Cowes and Hyde, were invited. The day was very unfavourable • a thick mist, accom panied with constant showers, co nfining the company to the interior of the tents, and altogether precluding visits to the gardens or grounds, or any out-of-door amuse ments. The guests began to arrive at about half-past two, and at a little after three o'clock her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, ac companied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, Princess Alice, and Princess Helena, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness the Princess Hohenlohe, the Princesses Eliza, Adelaide, and Feodore, and Prince Victor of Hohenlohe, and attended by her Grace the Duchess of Norfolk, and the other Ladies and Gentlemen of the royal households, entered the marquee for dancing. The bands of the Royal Marines, 77th, and 91st Regiments, which were upon this occa sion formed into one band, playing " God save the Queen." Their Royal Highness the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse, met the Royal party in the tent, and dancing shortly after commenced. Her Majesty, in the course of the afternoon, danced with his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse, and the Earl of Wilton. The three bands during the day performed several pieces of music, in a very superior style, and glees were occasionally sung by a party of sailors from the royal yacht. A magnificent dejeuner was laid out in Tippoo Saib's tent. _ _ At about six o'clock a country dance was formed, in which her Majesty danced with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the royal children, and most of those of the nobility and gentry present joining in the dance, and shortly after its termination her Majesty and the Royal party retired, at a little before seven o'clock. The following had the honour of receiving invita- tions :—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Princess .Mary, his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse, the Duke and Duchess of Marl borough, the Marquis of Anglesey and Lady A. Paget, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury and Lord C. Bruce, the - Marquis of Conyngham and Lady :Jane Conyngham, the Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford, the Marquis of Granby.

The anthem, "0 Lord, I will praise 611 c." (Croft), Was sung by Messrs. Baruby and Machin. Mr. Cuoper presided et the organ.

Lord and Lady John Russell will not leave town for Ireland until the more important business of the House of Commons shall be completed, which may be, expected by Thursday, or, at all e v e nts, before the end* of the week. His Lordship will be accompanied by his private secretary, Mr. R. W. Grey, M.P., and will first proceed to visit Lord Clarendon, at the Vice-regal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. After a stay of ten or twelve days in Ireland, it is his Lordship's inten tion to go to Scotland, oa a visit to the Earl of Minto. It is natural to attach some political importance to the visit of the First Minister of the Crown to Ireland be t a such a juncture as at pr esent ; but we believe yond the very lively interest which, as a statesman and a politician, Lord John Russell has always felt in the condition of so important and interesting a portion of the empire, there is no specific or definite obect in his proposed journey. Ile will, of course, be j nabled to see with his own eyes, and to observe for himself, a good deal of the physical and moral condition of the Company l on thee as in person with Lord Clarendon, who cannot be well d from the seat of his Government, even for the spare country, and he will have an oppoprutmunpiitnygoafppeaornafeturrsiinvvg, short visit to London which he is known to be so de sirous to make. Lord John Russell is not personally unacquainted with Ireland, having spent some time in that country; but at such a juncture as the present, even a passing visit of the Prime Minister is likely to be looked upon with more than ordinary anxiety on both sides of the c hannel.—Observer.

CHARGE Or MURDER BY POISON.-3fary Spry and Mary Ann Dore, aged 24, two females of most respectable appear ance, were placed in the dock, indicted upon a coroner's in quisition, for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Theresa Dore, the infant child of the younger prisoner. The prisoners have been out on bail. Mr. Bodkin appeared on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Mr. BoniuN, in stating the case to the jury, said if he were not well assured that the two unhappy persons who appeared before them were perfectly safe in their keeping, he should confess that he had a very painful duty to perform, but he believed from what he had seen of the facts of the case, as they appeared upon the depositions, together with other facts which lie should give them an opportunity of hearing, that the decision they would arrive at would be one of acquittal. The prisoners were charged with the heinous crime of wilful murder, committed in the worst and most offensive form. namely, by administering poison to a helpless and unoffend ing infant, the child of one of the prisoners, and the grand daughter of the other, for mother and daughter were now before them. It did not, however, appear that there was anything but the most unbounded af fection and attachment shown to the child by both the prisoners. On the face of the depositions there was no evidence - whatever that traced the possession of arsenic or any other description of poison to either or both of them, but there were circumstances of a suspicious character which the coroner's jury thought justified them in finding a verdict of wilful murder, with the view, he presumed, of the matter undergoing further investigation. The elder prisoner's hus band was steward to the late Princess Sophia, and .the younger prisoner was the wife of a person who was in the service of a highly respectable gentleman, and they lived in Lower Grosvenor-place, Pimlico. The child was four months old, and from its birth bad been healthy with the exception of being attacked with the disease called thrush, which had made it ill for some time. The younger prisoner was ac quainted with a Mrs. Murton, who requested her to accom pany her on a short visit to the Isle of Wight, and the day agreed upon for the journey was the 13th of July. On the previous evening, Wednesday, the child was taken unwell and was very restless during the night, and in the morning a medical man was applied to, and he prescribed some liquid medicine and powder. They went by the nine o'clock train to Gosport, and crossed over to Ryde, and on arriving at their destination the child was much worse. It was there shown to a skilful medical man, a Mr. Bloxam, and having also prescribed some medicine, he recommended the mother to proceed back to London with the child. She accordingly returned by the express train on the following morning, Friday, and on arriving in London the child was rapidly sinking. Mr. Driver, a surgeon, was called in, when he found it suffering from vomiting, convulsions, and bloody evacuations, and although medicine was again administered it did not survive. Some suspicion having arisen as to the death of the child, the contents of the stomach were analysed, and three grains of arsenic were discovered. They had since been subject to a test by Dr. Taylor, the eminent chemist of Guy's Hospital, with the view of arriving at a conclusion, and he should consider it his duty on the part of the Crown to call that gentleman before them. Several witnesses, among whom were two of the younger prisoner's sisters, were then called, and their evidence bore out the main facts of the Learned Counsel's statement. Mr. Rogers, lecturer on chemistry, said ho had applied the ordinary tests to the contents of the stomach, and had pro duced less than two grains of arsenic in a metallic form. From the appearance of a large black patch in the stomach, he said it was his opinion that the arsenic had been admi nistered two days before death. Dr. Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, who was then called, said he had discovered one grain of arsenic in the stomach, which would make altogether three grains. He was of opi nion that the death of the child was caused alone by the in. tersusception of the bowels. He had not discovered an atom of camomile, though that was stated to be a portion of the medicine given to the child. Dr. Taylor having gone through the evidence proceeded to show the inconsistency of the testimony of Mr. Rogers, who said the arsenic had been administered two days, and stated that it was is opinion that it had been administered only eight or ten hours before death. Mr. Baron Pr..arr here stopped the further progress:of the case intimating that there was not the slightest ground for the charge against the prisoners. He expressed himself in very strong language as to the injustice and cruelty of placing a mother sueaprnvaaetdd coroner'sat daughter i s i j n us rh s i u oe c sw h efdo a r t p ht o he s ei waytmi onin a u e r ein reputation whichco r t of ca.s oejsfu couldss toimcee, medical men. The jury concurred in what his Lordship said, and imme diately acquitted the prisoners, who were at once dicharged, to the evident gratification of nearly all in the court. The Court then adjourned for a quarter of an hour. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman Form.)

Manchester were thus 60 on, with two wickets to fall. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND G ROUND V. THE BRAMSHILL CLUB, WITH ADAMS AND DAY.—This was the return match between these clubs, and was played last week in Sir John Cope's park. There, however, as in moat other places nearing to the metropolitan dis tricts, there was wind enough and rain enough, the one to drive, the other almost sufficient to float, a seventy four fully manned. However, after waiting for some hours, the rain abated, and the fury of liklus subsided, so that the match was able to be commenced, but like all others which were accomplished between the 21st of August and the 27th of the same month in the present year, there was no comfort and but " small satisfactioir" in its proceedings. By the score, accordingly, it will be seen, that notwithstanding the totals were comparatively trifling, still the "Great Metropolitan Club" was defeated by 66 runs:—Bramshill, Ist innings. 82; 2d innings, 79. Marylebone, Ist innings, 77; 2d innings, 19. Bramahill thus won by 66 runs. THE GENTLEMEN AND PLAYERS OF SUSSEX.—This match will be played at Brighton this day and Tues day, and has been arranged for the benefit of Wells, who, though long known in Surrey, has for many years lived at Brighton. MUSIC. BETTER TIMES ARE COMING. The Poetry by Joseph Oliver, Esq. ; the Music by G. J. O. Allmann. The muse of Dr. Charles Mackay has carried in spiration to Mr. Oliver, and the chorded-shell of Russell has passed into the hands of Allmann. Every one will recognise in this joyous and inspiriting song a worthy companion to one which has become already an old favourite, "There's a Good Time Coming Boys!" The song. which is in the key of A, has about it a masculine simplicity, and the accompaniment, though of equal simplicity, is singularly effective. In these periods of gloom and despondency we welcome a generous ballad like this with peculiar pleasure.

The new church, which is a neat and convenient struc ture, is situated in Kent-street, one of the moat wretched portions of the metropolis. Of the persons re g ularl y resident in the district the greater part come under the description of very poor, whilst scarcely a single family can be said to occupy a place among the classes of society in easy circumstances. The church hos been erected out of a fund opened in 1845, entitled " The Sou thwark Fund for Schools and Churches,' for the purpose of endeavour ing to supply the spiritual and educational deficiencies o f this most extensive and important district. The crow neighbourhood embraced by the boroughs of Lambethded and Southwark, comprising a population of upwards of 125,000 souls, was found at that time to have ac • commodation in churches for no more than one in in eight, and educational provision in schools connected with the Church, for no more than one in fifty-five of its entire population. It was then proposed to obtain means for providing additional clergy, schools, and churches in Southwark, and the conti guous parishes. Towards the accomplishment of the object a sum amounting to nearly 30,0001. was collected, and, the work was commenced. Five new districts have been constituted, and two others_conventionally assigned to the parishes of Lambeth and Bermondsey, and four new churches have been erected and opened for the per formance of divine service. Sixteen schools have bee n established, and others are in process of formation. With regard to the church in Kent-street opened yes terday, an arrangement lias been entered into with the Church Extension Fund, whereby the patronage of th e district, in consideration of a grant of 2,000 L, is to be of the new di s t r i ct o f S t . e hev e yea, B et h na l -green, E vested in five trustees.

PENIbIORE COOPERS Nuw ROMANCE THE " BEE HUNTER."—We welcome Mr. Cooper's return to the prairies and forests, in describing which and whose inhabitants, the celebrated author of the " Last of the Mohicans " shines unrivalled. Thoughno Natty Leather stocking is to be found in the "Bee Hunter," this new and spirited romance is not inferior to those with which Mr. Cooper delighted in its youth the generation which is now in its maturity. Twenty y ears have done little to damp the ardour with which he painted the physical feats of the Red Man, and the strange adventures which were forced on his civilized rival, When he disputed with the other the supremacy of the woods. The " Bee Hunter" abounds in hair-breadth 'scapes by flood and field, and with sketches of the teats, which not only the Red but the White can perform when his faculties are sharpened by a sojourn in the wilderness, and a constant exposure to the attacks of the most subtle and deadly of foes. Besides the interest which arises in this way, some curious light is thrown on the feelings with which the aborigir.es saw the successful encroachments of the Europe an gradually spo ili n g them of their birthright. One of, the Indian heroes introduced is represented as at th , ..1 head of one of those vast conspiracies which are well . known to have been formed with the view of ex pelling or massacring the pale faces ; and Mr. Cooper's a' Jquaintance with the history and genius of the Amer-- 'Jan Indians, enables him to handle this portion of his subject in a masterly way. The description of scenery and life in the "'oak openings " possess the accustomed charm ; the interest is skilfully concentrated on a few characters.--Manchester Examiner.

WOOLWICH, AUG. 26.—LAUNCH OF THE BASILISIE:.— The preparations for the launch of this tine steam-sloop were finished shortly after eleven o'clock, A.m., to-day, and a great number of persons assembled to witness the interesting spectacle. The arrangements were unosten tatious, but complete, and instead of the elevated plat form generally constructed for the accommodation of select parties and the authorities, which prevented the launches being seen to advantage by others, a platform, only elevated about one foot from the ground, was laid, surmounted by a table covered with a flag, on which was placed the wine with which the vessel was to be chris tened, and her SUCCCSS drank by the sponsors and heads of the dockyard departments. Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., and Lady Gordon Bremer, arrived at the slip at a few mi nutes past eleven, and witnessed the removal of the dog-shores; and when the workmen came to the last shore, her ladyship drank a glass of wine to the success of the Basilisk, and immediately after broke a bottle of wine on the bows of the vessel, and the noble vessel glided off the stocks in the finest style ima ginable, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled spectators, the brass baud of the Dockyard brigade playing, "Rule Britannia." The Basilisk was brought up at moorings near Charlton pier, and is a remarkably fine vessel in appearance. Captain Blair, Lieutenant Robertson, and Lieutenant Fowler, R.N.; Lieutenant- Colonel Belson, Brigade-Major Cuppage, Royal Artil lery and Royal Marines were present on the occasion, and many private families in carriages; and every part of the ceremony went off in the best manner, under the direction of Mr. Lang, master shipwright, and Mr. Chal field and Mr. Peake, assistants. The Dover steam-vessel, formerly one of the Dover mail steam-packets, being light in draught of water, has been thoroughly refitted at Woolwich, and was com missioned to-day by Mr. Bolton, acting master, for ser vice on the coast of Africa. Announcements have been made that nine stokers are wanted for the Virago steam-sloop, at present in a state of readiness for sea at Sheerness. It is supposed she will be ordered to attend during her Majestfs excur sion to Scotland, but no official notice has as et been issued relative to the service for which she is to be got ready. Mr. Stuart, the pilot engaged to navigate the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht to Woolwich, left this after noon for Portsmouth. Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz- Clarence will come round from Portsmouth to Woolwich in command of the Royal yacht, and she is expected to arrive here about half-past six or seven o'clock on Mon day evening.
