A CoNsTANT READER. The charter debate in the House of Commons came off on the 19th of April, when Mr. Herries, the Presi dent of the Board of Control, moved for the appoint ment of a Committee to take into consideration the Act pasoed in 1833 for the !government of India. So little interest did the subject excite, and so complete is India the dinner bell of the House, that it was at times found difficult to keep forty Members together, although on a petty question regarding the induction of a half Popish priest to the Protestant living of Frome, no fewer than 180 Members were assembled and voted one day after. It affords matter for deep and melancholy reflection that when the affairs of a hundred and fifty millions of beings for whose happiness Great Britain is responsible, came under consideration after the lapse of 20 years, it was found impossible to secure the attendance of more than one Member in sixteen of the House of Commons. This debate hub d ec id e d more than one question. Good go vernment in the colonies of the Crown, which are peopled with sturdy and independent Englishmen, may be said to depend on the degree to which they are leit to manage their own affairs. The wisest Minister we have ever had, as respects the colonies, was the old Duke of Newcas tle, who is said to have left the dispatches from the American colonies unopened for twelve years. On the other hand, the good administration of India at home and abroad requ i res the vigilant eye of Parliament. Oneauthoarnitiimesa,teodr adeb a tehundred n tah articles ia l House as of t Commons hreo local more good in I n di a t h an fifty dispatches from from the local Whatever form may b e given th e Indian Administra tion, it is th e i n t erest taken ini ts affairs by the great council of th e nat i on that life infuses does press. to Bat this debate h as taught us and en erg y i nto it. Parliament can in n o w i se b e brought th e to painful truth th a t interest in any Indian question; that if the sma ll es t re quired to clear the House, a em leer ha s it be ever pro nounce the name of India. Th e debate has only aio to taught us that the present system, without modifications o provement, is to be perpetuated for tw en t y years r more, nla with all its anomalies and defects. It was well k nown that the Whigs, if they had c ontinued in power, Were resolved to make no alterations whatever in the present system. The charter of 1833 was a Whig measure, an d Lord John Russell bad determined to apply his own principle of finality to it. Whatever trifling and un important modification he might have been induced to sanction, would have been adopted merely for th e sake of showing how little it required to be altered, and they would have made no alteration what ever in the working of the present scheme, whieli is, perhaps, one of the most anomalous which the ingenuity of statesmen has ever devised. It was on this principle that the Whigs refused the appointment of a committee last year, when there would have been leisure and opportunity for examining the question. If the Whigs bad continued in power, therefore, we were fully prepared to dismiss every idea of any amelioration, and the debate fully justifies these anticipations. Lord John Russell maintained the superlative excellence of the present system of Indian Government, because, as he affirmed, this country was better governed than Tur key and Persia, so that the highest conception which a Whig Minister of England in the middle of the nine teenth century can form of the good government of a foreign dependency of the Crown, is that it should be better administered than a wretched Mahomedan des potism. But it was certainly expected that the Conser vatives, who were not responsible for the Act of 1833, would not have shrUnk from a thorough examination of its operation, that they would have made a root and branch inquiry into the defects of the Indian adminis tration; and, instead of confining themselves, like the Whigs, to the admiration of tho past, they would, like honest British statesmen, have addressed themselves to the improvement of the future. All these hopes have. been dashed to the ground by M r . flerries's speech, the lest sentence of which may be con sidered as the funeral knell of all reformation or im provement fur the next twenty years, 6' As now ad vised, I contend that the present system is the best." Even Mr. Mime, a radical reformer on every question but that of India, regards the present order of things with perfect complacency, and has no objections to allege to it but that the Court bad not paid sufficient attention to road -making and irrigation. None of the Manchester Ba ,a aa t spoke on the occasion. Sir James Weir Hog g and Mr. Mangles, who represented the court of directors, lauded their own government to the skies, as in duty bound, only this latter gentleman took the opportunity of avenging himself on that moat august body, the pro prietors of East India stock, for eight years of humilia tion, by saying that he believed the present mode of election and canvassing deterred many of the highest class of men who had returned from India from taking office,—and thus en led a debate more disgraceful to the British Parliament, from the total disregard it evinced of one of its highest responsibilities, than any which has taken place for twenty years. Under these circumstances, when the panics are made up to the perpetuation of the present system, the appointment of any Committee whatever appears to be redundant. It would be tar more advisable to peas a short Act of half a dozen lines to enact that the Act, of the 3d and 4th Will_ IV , e . bo, was extended to the year 1874, without modification than to enact the solemn farce of appoi n ti ng a Committee which Whigs, Tories, and Radicals intend shall lead to no result. All these three parties in the House appear to be equally sa tisfied with the system of a double government. which works well, alth ough i t is anomalous.' They are resolved that the pa' ronage shall not go to the Crown, b u t shall contiu.un abiolutely vested in the Court of Directors, a reward f or governing India—the most costlyr ui w d be as Lord Willi am Bentinck remar ked, which -co thaught of.

DEATH OF AN ALLEGED BIGAMIST..--011 Satur day Mr. G. Brent held an inquest at the Earl - Cathcart,. Munster-street, Regent's-park, on George Hathaway, house agent, aged 64.

In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into a French Company (Societe en Comman dite), and, at their own risk, and with their own funds, established the Telegraphic Communication between Dover and Calais. • • The cable was laid down on the 25th of September, 1851, and on the 13th November following the telegraph was opened to the public for transmission of messages, and has since that time been worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption. The feasibility of a submarine telegraphic communication having thus been successfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now arrived for inviting the public to co-operate with them in developing the resources and extending the advantages of this im portant undertaking._ With this view they have obtained a Royal Charter of Incorpora tion, under which they will be enabled to work the existing French line, and to lay down and work a submarine line of telegraph to Belgium ; and this Company has concluded the necessary arrange ments for affording to the public the transmission and delivery of dispatches to and from Great Britain and all the telegraph stations in Europe (at present exceeding 200 in number), by a single payment for the whole distance. Contracts for the Belgian rope have been entered into with the Gutta Percha Company and Messrs. Newall and Co., of Gateshead, who have engaged to complete the same by the 11th of September next, when it will be forthwith laid down from Dover to Middlekirk, near to Ostend, from which point the submarine wires will be placed in communication with the general system of the continental telegraph. The concessions from the French and Belgian Governments secure to this Company the exclusive right of submarine communication. During the short time which has elapsed since the opening of the submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais, the development of this mode of communication has been retarded by the great delay and expense incidental to the trans mi ss i o n o f messages at each end over the wires of other companies, and from this cause the public have enjoyed but a small portion of the advantages which this won derful invention of modern science is calculated to afford. The Directors of the Royal Chartered Company have at length succeeded in making arrangements whereby these impediments win be removed, and messages from London to Paris and brussels, and vice versa; instead of requiring two or three hours for their trans mission, will be instantaneously conveyed. A company, acting under the powers of an Act of Parliament, are laying down a subterranean line of telegraph from the offices of the Submarine Company, Cornhill, to Dover, and have engaged to con vey the messages of the Submarine Company for one-half the amount now charged by the South-Eastern Company ; and thus, whilst the whole machinery will be concentrated in one place, and instantaneous communication secured, the Submarine Company will be enabled to make a great reduction in the scale of charges to the public. As respects the commercial results of the enterprise, it may be suf ficient to remark, that in the face of all the disadvantages necessarily attendant upon its introduction, the first six months' working of the Dover and Calais line has yielded a clear profit at the rate of 5 per cent per annum upon the capital; and the saving which will be effected by the arrangement with the New Land Line will secure an additional profit of 3 per cent. upon the Stock of the Submarine Company. When the marvellous results which attended the intro-, duction of the penny postage are considered, it is difficult to form an estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow the development of telegraphic communication with the continent, under a system of moderate charges and electric speed —more especially as the cost does not increase in proportion to the business done, and as the network of telegraphic wires is gradually spreading over the whole of Europe. Out of the capital of 150,0001. now to be raised, 75,0001. will be set apart for the redemption of the 75,000 shares forming the capi tal of the French Company. The remaining half has been propriated in carrying out the contracts already made for the Bel gi in cable, the purchase of the patent rights, the Belgian con cession, and all incidental expenses attendant upon the estab lishment of the Company and the settlement of the Royal Charter. No further addition will be made to the Chartered Stock, without the express sanction of the proprietors. The allotment of shares, which was delayed until the Charter had received-the Royal assent, will now be proceeded with, and any further applications must be addressed, on — mr liirao the 31st August instant, to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad str, et. Dated 24th August, 1852. WEST MARIPOSA GOLD QUARTZ MINE COMPANY. . . The Committee of Mans gement have great satisfaction in an nouncing to the Shareholders that they have entered into a Provi sional Agreement with FREDERICK CATIIERWOOD, Esq., Pre sident of the Gold Hill Mining Company, for the application of a portion of the capital of the West Mariposa Company to the work ing, on equal terms, of the Gold 1111 Mine, situated in the Grass Valley, Nevada County, the richest locality in California. This mine has b-en in very successful operation since A ugus t, 1851, and in a period of six months realised a net profit of upwards of 200 per cent. upon the original capital.

The works of the Gold Hill Mine are now in active operation, and the West Mariposa Company will be entitl e d t o their propor tion, of the profits immediately, on the ratification o f th e provisional agreement, by John Macdougall, Esq., the Resid en t C ommissioner in California of this Company, and by the authorised agent of the Gold Hill Mining Company. The Committee of Management beg to add that the splendid specimens of gold quartz rock, lately exhi bited at Messrs. James Davis and Sons', No. 9, Gracechurch-street, were brought by Mr. Catherwood from the Gold Hill Min e . By the last mail the Committee received advices of the safe arri val at Panama of the mining captain and staff, sometime since sent from this country, and that they were about to proceed to San Fran cisco by the Golden Gate steamer, to place themselves under the orders of Mr. Macdougall. The Committee of Management have also to state that powerful machinery of the most improved construction, from the works of Messrs. John Taylor and Co., of Mold , and M e s s rs . Cox an d Wilson, of Oldbury, was lately shipped at Liverpool , o n bo a r d the fast sailing schooner Porcupine, Captain Wallinger, and is now on its way to California. By the same vessel a further body of men was dispatched, to com plete the number of miners required to be sent from this country for the service of the company ; and the two chief engineers will leave England for California, in company with Mr. Catherwood, on the 4th proximo. . .

The public in general are invited to a consideration of the compre hensive plan of this Society. " Whilst it transacts all the ordinary business of Life Assurance on the most liberal conditions, it freely opens its doors to those exposed to extra risk, and affords them advantages which' have heretofore been denied. It grants Assurances against every contingencrof life to persons of all classes or professions, on terms equitably adjusted to the risk incurred. SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES. 1. This Society grants Assurances on the lives of all classes, in cluding Seafaring, Military, and Naval Service, as well as persons proceeding as passengers to foreign climates. 2. No extra premium charged on Assurers who desire to travel be tween any port in the United Kingdom and any of the ports from Gibraltar to the Sound. . _ 3. No extra preinium charged for residence in any part of _Europe, in Australia, or Cariadas, or any healthy parts of North or South America. 4. Assurances may be had on the Lives of Mariners, to cover the constant trade between the United Kingdom and any part of the world, or the constant trade in any given place, as for instance be tween the East Indies and China. The premium for a specific Teyage may be obtained on libera terms. 5. The extra premium which is charged for residing in unhealthy climates, or for actual service in military or seafaring pursuits, Is discontinued on return to, and during residence in, the United Kingdom, or the healthy parts of Europe. The Policies are then continued during residence at the ordinary premiums standing against the age of the assured at the time of effecting the assurance, evi-, deuce as to health being first adduced to the satisfaction of the Di rectors. 6. The whole of the profits divided among the assured for life, all of whom are proprietors, and possess control over the management without responsibility. 7. Guarantee Policies for Fidelity of Trust, in combination with Life Insurance, granted at little more than the simple rate for ordi nary Life Policies. 8. All Policies indisputable, except in cases of premeditated fraud. No charge to the assured for medical fees, stamp duties, or any other expenses in effecting a policy beyond the premium. 9. The Directors give favourable consideration to proposals from diseased or non-select cases, at premiums proportioned to the risk, a system especially adyantageous to parties whose health may have been impaired by over attention to business, foreign residence, ecc. From the principles which are here briefly stated, it is evident that the system of assurance acted on by the Hope Office cannot be too strongly recommended. To all who have any surplus capital it offers a secure and piofitable mode of investment ; it combines all the advantages of Alsmances 'aild Savings Banks together, for, in the event of premature deal h, a large capital Is at once created for the survivors, that would require y ears to be p roduced b y any other mode of investment. 11. C. EIFFE, General Manager. AT AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of the HOPE LIFE ASSURANCE and HONESTY GUARANTEE SOCIETY, duly convened, and held within their Offices, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank of England, on Wednesday, the 21st July, 1852, at the hour of One o'clock, HENRY MORGAN VANE, Esq., in the Chair, It was unanimously resolved—That henceforth the number of Directors shall be increased from ten to twelve, and that Henry Philip Ifope, Esq., Official Assignee, District Bankruptcy K ens i ng ton, London, be elected Members of the present Court, Leeds, and Dr. Thoma s W heelwri g ht, M.D. . of Lower Philli more-place, Board.

(less Income-tax) on the paid-up Capital of the Shareholders will be p..yable at the office; on and after FRIDAY, the 20th of August inst.

The assured will in future participate in the Profits in propor tion to the number and amount of the premiums paid between every division, so that if only one year's premium be received prior to closing the books, it will obtain its due share. At the FIFTH DIVISION of PROF ITS declared in January last, the sum of 131 1251. was added to Policies then entitled, which sum Produced a BONUS varying with the different ages, from 214 to 55 per cent. on the Premi ums paid , during the preceding five years ; or from Si. to 121. 10s. per cent. on the sum assured. Th 2 next and future Bonuses may be received in cash, or applied at the option of the Assured in any other way.

THE CAPTAIN'S GOOD SERVICE PENSION. His Grace the First Lord of the Admiralty has bestowed the good-service pension, which fell to his patronage on the promotion of Rear-Admiral Bruce, on Captain John Edward Walcott, 1822, th M.P. for Christchurch. Th e paramount claim s enew of this gallant officer to be r ewar d e d for go od service will, we think, be universally admitted on perusing the following sketch of his c areer f rom 0 Byrne s Naval Biography:- "John Edward Walcott, is third son of Edmu nd Walcott Sympson, Esq , of Winkt on , Hants, brother o f Captain Charles Walcott, RN., and br o th er -i n - law of Rear-Admiral George Henderson. This offieer entered the Navy Oct. 19th, 1802 (under the patronage of the late Right Hon. George Rose, Treasurer of the Navy), on board the Blenheim, 74, in which ship, bearing th e broad pendant of Sir Samuel Hood, he sailed for the West Indies. On his return he joined, as midshipman, in June, 1804, the Lively, 38, and in her, with other ships in company, Oct. sth following, was present at the cap ture, off St. Mary, of three Spanish frigates, laden with treasure, and the destruction of a fourth. He also, on the 29th of May, 1805, bore a part in it very spirited skirmish in which the Lively alone sorely galled, near Cadiz, the Gloriso, Spanish 74. Being again, in Octo ber, 1806, placed under the command of his friend Sir Samuel Hood, he continued uninterruptedly to serve with that estimable officer, until the period of his death, which took place at Madras, Dec. 24, 1814, in the Cen taur, 74, Hibernia, 120, Tigre, 74, Owen Glendower, 36, Illustrious, 74, Clorinde, 40, and Minden, 74. While o n board the Centaur, he accompanied the expeditions of 1807 against Copenhagen and Madeira, and performed the duties of signal lieutenant at the capture, Aug. 26, 1808, in sight. of the whole Russian fleet; near Rogers wick, of the 74 gun-ship Sewolod, which surrendered, after a close and furious conflict, productive of a loss to the Centaur (in company with whom was the Implacable, 74), of three killed and 27 wounded, and to the enemy of 180 killed and wounded. Twenty days previously to the latter event he had succeeded, on the death of Lieutenant James Shea, who was killed, to the command of the ship's cutter in an attack upon a Danish dispatch boat, ,w hich had in vain sought security . under the fire of a body of troops and two field-pieces stationed upon a high cliff on the island of Moen. As soon as he had passed his examination he was ordered by the commander in chief , Si r James S a u marez, Oat. 18, 1805, to act at lieutenant in the Centaur; and on 25th Novem ber following he was confirmed. In recommending Mr. Walcott for this promotion, Sir Samuel Hood, in a letter to the Comptroller of the Navy. Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, t h u s (after alluding to his very gallant con duct' in the boat affair just mentioned), expresses him. self:-' I can say no more to you in his favour than that I hope he will not quit mo until he can get another step. A more deserving, good young officer does not exist.' A t a subsequent period, September, 1814, Sir Samuel, who was then commander in chief in India, and had it in contemplation to return overland to Europe, addressed a communication to the first Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Melville, of which the following is a transcript My Lord,-The time of the approach to the termination of my command on this station being near, and having been enabled onl y to p romote two o f my lieutenants, who had been with me many years, I have to entreat your Lordship, should I not have the chance of another vacancy, to do me the kindness before I strike my flag, to promote to a commander my flag lieutenant (John Edward Walcott.) H o i s an officer whose attention and ability in his profession caused me to place him in that station; he served with me in the Baltic, Mediterranean, and this country in the same situation, and when my secretary was obliged to return to England from ill-health soon after my arrival here, seeing me in distress be volunteered his services for both situations, which he has filled with much capacity and judgment. He is the son of a very respectable gen tleman in Hampshire, and will do honour and credit to the service whenever he is advanced. I have, therefore, to request,your Lordship's protection towards him.' As a further illustration of the nature of the position held by Mr. Walcott near the Admiral's person, and of the circumstances which, as far as he was concerned, attended the latter's death, we may quote the following passage from Captain Basil Hall's third series of Fragments of Voyages and Travels'-' When, unfortunately for his profession and for his country, Sir Samuel Hood fell sick at Madras, and knew that his last moments were fast approaching, he called his faithful friend and old fol lower in many ships and many actions, Lieutenant. Wal cott, to his bed-side, and said to him:-" It will be too hard, Walcott, to die in this country, but should it so please God, let nothing deter you from going home and ac counting to the Admiralty for my command to the East India station." These were nearly the last in telligible words he uttered, and they . servo to show how strong, even in the hour of death, was his sense of professional duty. As Lieutenant Wel oott had served during the whole of Sir Samuel Hood's India command, in the double capacity of flag lieutenant and secretary, and had enjoyed the Admiral's entire confidence, he, and he alone, possessed the moans of accounting to the Admiralty for the measures com pleted or in progress for the good of the service, and therefore the Admiral suggested to him the propriety of his voyage home to report matters in person. The ,enioe officer, who succeeded to the command in the Indian seas (Commodore George Sayer), felt so desirous of following up the friendly intentions of his lamented predecessor, that, knowing the late Admiral's attach ment to Lieutenant Walcott, he offered to promote him into a death vacancy, which had either taken place or was certain to fall within a week or two. Moreover, he assured him that after the necessary time bad been served he should have the first vacancy for post-promo tion. These were, indeed, tempting offers to a y young ,fficer devotedly atta c h e d to his profession; but they had no influence over a man bred in the Sam Hood school.' The Admiral's dying injunction , appeared to this right minded officer fully as binding , or, if possibl e more so, than a written comman d must have been in his lifetime. To England Walcott went accordingly, and the difference in professional st an di ng w hi c h i t made to him was this: -Had he remained in India, as Sir Samuel Hood's successor propobed, be wou ld un d ou b ted l y h ave become a post captain of 1816, instead of which his name now stands in 1822-six years later on the list I Had it been sixty times six, however, it would have made no difference in his conduct.' Mr. Walcott returned home in the Malacca, 36, Captain George Henderson, bring ing with him, addressed to the Secretary of the Admi ralty, a letter from Commodore Sayer, proclaiming in cross of high panegyric, the opinion in which he had been held by the Commander-in-Chief, by himself, and by the captains of the squadron who had had any oppor tunity of witnessing his worth. His promotion to the rank of commander took place Jane 6, 1815; but from hat period until appointed, Sept. 14, 1821, to the Carus don, 18, he remained unemployed. Bailing, in January, 1822, for the West Indies, he fell in with, in the follow ing August off the west end of Cuba and gave protection to the trade passing through the Florida Stream from Ja maica to England. A mistaken and singular oeinion havihg been adopted by the committee of Lloyd's as to the degree of attention he had paid to the mercantile in terests on this occasion, gave rise to a correspondence between that body and the Board of Admiralty, and led to a discussion in the House of Commons (on the motion of Mr. Joseph Marryat, the chairman of the committee), in March, 1823, when Sir George Cockburn, in address ing the House on the subject, declared " that Captain VV alcott's conduct had been in exact accordance with the duty he had to perform.' In December, 1822, Captain Walcott joined the Tyne, 26, into which ship he had been posted May 6 preceding; and at the commencement of 1823 he again escorted a homeward-bound convoy through the Florida Stream. He was subsequently sent with the Thracian, 18, Captain John Walter Roberts, under his orders, to endeavour to effect the extirpation of the pirates cruising in the Old Bahama Channel, and on the coast of Cuba adjoining. After searching 400 miles of coast, in order to examine the different creeks and inlets where small vessels could bo sheltered and con cealed-an operation that occupied two months-he gained sight, March 31, 1823, off Baraooa, of the Zara gonna, a notorious schooner of 120 tons, carrying 1 long 18-pounder on a swivel, 4 long 9-pounders, and 8 swivels, with a crow of between 70 and 80 ruffians, who, aware ; ; hat their atrocities had placed them beyond the reach of mercy, had bound themselves by oath, in the event of their being at any time successfully boarded by the Bri tish, to blow up not only their own vessel, but themselves and their assailants. On perceiving the schooner, of which they had been several days in quest, the two men-of-war, under the guise as much as possible, of merchant ships, stood towards her under easy sail. On ascertaining, however, their real character, the Zara gonna crowded all sail to the eastward, and succeeded in gaining the difficult harbour of Mats, where she was soon moored, head and stern, with her broadside com manding the entrance,littleanore than a cable's length in breadth. Ak 130 P.N., the ships being far in the offing, Captain Walcott, wishing to avoid delay, ordered the boats, armed with two carronadea and manned with 47 hands, to be hoisted out, and in person led them to the desperate attack. At three P.M., having arrived within gunshot, the British became exposed to a galling fire from the schooner and from several of her crew, who had been sent on shore and stationed among the bushes at the harbour's mouth. Having sustained and returned the fire for three-quarters of an hour, the boats, availing themselves at length of a favour able opportunity, gave three cheers, and dashed with impetuosity alongside. Pacio-struck at their deter mined spirit, the pirates attempted to save themselves by jumping into the sea. Twenty-eight of them, how ever, including their villanous chief, Cayatano Arsge were secured, and the whole of them of five, admitted as King's evidence) ultimat e _ h em i : be (with the exceptio n .ned at Port Royal, Jamaica.

Captain Walcott's impaired state of health obliging him, in the ensuing May, to invalid, Sir C. Rowley appointed Capt. Roberts his successor in the Tyne, and gave to Mr. J. D. Robinson, midshipman, who had assisted at the cap- Lure of the Zaragozana, an order to act as lieutenant. Capt. Roberts and Mr. Bull had been left during the engage ment on board their respective ships; but by the time the capture was completed, having followed the boats, they had reached nearly within gunshot.' We may add that, during his examination of the different creeks, i i t ng to Captain Walcott had found on an island in the p or t o f Maranjo, a cargo consisting of 1 , 100 casks of win es an d p a t n a d he b b el b ie y vi t n h g e spirits; and that, upon his own responsibility, consider pirate, he had embarked it.

Commander Henry James Lacon (1842) has been appointed to command the Daring, 12, to be commis sioned at Sheerness. This officer is the third son of the late Sir E. K. Lacon, Bart. He entered the naval college in 1823, and after he had passed his ex amination he served five years as mate, having been Promoted in 1835. As a lieutenant he served long and with distinction. He was lieutenant of the Cas-. tor, 36, and North Star, 26, under Lord John Hay, during the operations on the north coast of S pa i n from 1835 to 1840, but was not promoted until 1842, when he obtained his present rank for his services as senior lieutenant of the Blonde, 42, during all the operations on the coast of China. As a commander he served in the Vanguard, 80 , and now, after 19 years' service afloat, he has received another appoint ment as commander. , Lieutenant—George A. C.

It may be probable that his Royal High ness Prince Albert may pay a visit to the Cbaonel Islands during the early part of the week. On Friday next will be given the annual fele to the sea men of the Royal yachts and the labourers at Osborne. Rear-Admiral Superintendent H. Prescott, C. 8., went on board the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, yes terday morning, at Portsmouth, and mustered the crew of that ship, and the officers and men attached to the ordinary establishment. Sheerness seems to be rather a favourite port for commissioning ships, although it is the worst for manning them. Bittern, 12, Commander Hon. George Douglas, has hoisted the pendant at Sheerness, and has com menced entering her complement of 125 officers and men. Daring, 12, to be commissioned by Commander Lacon, will also have a complement of 125 officers and men..

As her fittings for sea have been prepared at Sheerness she will remain there until complete. Odin, 12, steam-frigate, at Portsmouth, has filled up her coal bunkers, but has unbent sails. Woonwicu, AUG. 23.—The Res istance troop - ship will lea ve Woolwich at an early hour to-morrow with Captain Fitzgerald's company of Royal Artillery and detachments for Gibraltar, and Captain Goodenough's company and detachments for Malta. The companies and detachments paraded at half-past five o'clock this morning, and marched from the garrison, headed by the band of the regiment, to the dockyard, at half past six, and shortly after seven the men were all on board, with the wives and children of those who were fortunate enough to be drawn—five in number being the regulation of married women permitted to obtain a free passage with each company when ordered on foreign service. There were so many married men in the companies embarked to-day, that five more than the regular number of wives were permitted on board for each company for a free pass age, on their undertaking to find their own provisions during the voyage. Brigadier Major Bingham, Captain Harrison, acting in the room of Captain Riddell, Deputy- Assistant-Quartermaster-General of Artilery, and the Adjutants of the 4th and sth battalions, superin tended the embarkation. The men were much gratified to be allowed the whole of the day to stow the necessaries they have token with them for their comfort during the voyage. On previous occasions they used to leave in an hour or two after their em barkation, and often became sea sink before the ar rangements for the voyage were all completed on board. MANNING THE NAVY.—A committee of flag offi cers and captains, consisting of Admiral Sir William Parker (chairman), Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Cap• tain the Hon.

We presume th a t his Grace the Duke of Northumberland has entirely discarded the cr n i d 'e p, the tbe has to and abortive plan bequeathed to him by Sir Francis - Baring, and has determined in vindication of the pledge given by himself at the commencement of late session of Parliament, to put his shoulder wheel, and endeavour to accomplish that which puzzled and bewildered every fi rs t l ord up to the pre sent day, viz —a simple an d easy smyasytembebymwanhniecdh cimAti.it.—At the recourse to it:a P g the withoutw oo wooden having walls DEATH OF AN OCTOGENARI r A e I Is s en Ln All Saints' Union-house, L ewes, on Tuesday night , a last, died Samuel Ti c k ner, honour of ser v i ng under th n old sailor, w ho had the advanced age o f 83, e immortal Nelson, at the namely, at the battle of the Nile , for which he obtained a medal about two years flir t He entered the service in 1792, on board the Arden t, then then lying at Portsmouth, from which he was cbsog t : - to the Culloden 74, Captain Sir Thomas 11 ,. i te e i s t • 1793, and sailed with a fleet of ten sail t ° /I :r es his Indies.
