COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE WOLLHEIM. This bankrupt was -described as of 14, Charles-street, Westbourne-square, merchant, lately trading in co-part uership with Joseph Wollheim and °kirles Schiff, as merchants at Alexandria. To-day was appointed for the first meeting, but no accounts are yet filed, the figures being very heavy—debts X 150,000, and assets not yet ascertained. IN RE -. -A DISPUTED ADJUDICATION. In re a firm of merchants in the city, the adjudication was disputed. The figures are said to be heavy, but it would be manifestly unfair to tho firm to publish tho facts pending the result. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE LIEUT.-COL. CHESNEY-THE NATIVE INDIAN ARMY. This bankrupt Was described as a retired lieutenant colonel of the Madras Native Indian Army. He was for merly a lieutenant, then a captain, then a major, in the 23d Regiment of Madras Native Infantry, and then Deputy Commissioner of various places in India. He ascribes his failure to having been obliged to retire from the army in consequence of being pressed by various creditors. The accounts filed show debts £2,780, of which the bankrupt states that he shall object to the proof of about £760 under the statute of limitations. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) LONDON BAD FISH SENT TO PARIS-BENJAMIN V. EDIVARDS. This was an action to recover £lO for fish supplied to defendant, plaintiff being a fish salesman of Billingsgate, and defendant also a fish dealer. Plaintiff deposed that he had sold the defendant the fish charged for. Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—Was not Mr. Edwards employed by you to send the fish to Paris, as it was unfit for the London markets ? Plaintiff—l believe that the fish did go to Paris to a person there, but I did not employ him to send it. Defen dant bought the fish upon his own account. His Honour—Was any one present ? Plaintiff—My son. Plaintiff's Son—l was at the stand when defendant bought the fish. He bought them in his own name. Mr. Buchanan—Were they sent to Paris ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Buchanan—They were too bad for the London market, were they not ? (A laugh.) Witness—They had been put on one side. Mr. Buchanan—They were not that day's, fish, at all events. Witness—No, they were not. They were the previous day's fish, and had been put on one side. Mr. Buchanan—Now, I ask you, was the fish fit for tho London market ? Witness—Well, not quite. (Laughter.) His Honour thought he had better leave the case to a jury. - Mr. Buchanan—l will call a witness to show that plain tiff actually employed defendant to send his fish to Paris. Defendant—l was in the service of a man named Myers, who consigned large quantities of fish to Paris. Plaintiff wanted to send some, and he sent them in my name, as he did not wish Myers to know that ho was consigning fish to Paris. His Honour—l shall send the case to a jury. Mr. Buchanan did not think the parties should be put to the expense. His Honour—l shall send it to a jury, to see if they would give plaintiff a verdict upon this evidence as to the fish sent to Pars. The parties subsequently agreed to settle the case, and defendant was to pay the debt by instalments. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PARISH PROSECUTION OP BROTHEL KEEPERS.—RacheI Nathan, refreshment-house keeper, 29, Coventry-street, and Martha Thompson, her servant, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with keeping a brothel. Mr. Robinson (from the office of Messrs. Dangerfield and Frazer, solicitors to St. Martin's parish) appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marl borough-street, for the defence. Inspector Walker, C division, having proved that the prisoners were the persons keeping the house and named in the warrant, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoners to find two bails each in £4O. Mary Cross was charged with keeping a brothel at 8, Oxendon-street, and Mary Howell one at 15, James-street, Haymarket, and were ordered to enter into bail. The prisoners were all committed to the sessions. SELLING IMITATION JEWELLERY WITHOUT A LICENSE.— WM. Justice, described as a hawker, of No. 3, Hanover street, Pimlico, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with hawking imitation jewellery without a license. Sergeant Thos. Shillingford, 4 C, - said that about one o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner offering imitation gold articles for sale. He said he had a first-rate gold watch, and that he would sell it at cost price. A page boy bought a set of sleeve links of him, and he (Shillingford) then asked him if he had a license as a hawker, and he said he had not, but that he was employed by a firm in New York. He then took the prisoner, who had been drinking, into custody, and at the station found in his pos session a quantity of jewellery made in imitation of gold. The prisoner said he had been dealing in the articles for years, and that he had never been interfered with before.. The prisoner said there was not a publichouse from Pimlico, where he lived, to that. court, but he was known at. To do as he had done was better than getting his living dishonestly, and he did not see why he should bo picked out more than others. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner's was a most mischievous trade, as he got amongst raw servants from the country and imposed upon them. The prisoner had got no license, and ho would therefore be fined 405., or a month. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The fresh arrival of English wheat to this morning's market was small ; but there was a considerable number of Monday's unsold samples on the stands. The trade, both for red and white qualities, was in a sluggish state, at a decline in prices from Friday last of ls. per quarter. The market was very moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The demand for all qualities ruled far from active ; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at fully late rates. The ' supply of English barley on sale was small; of foreign, moderate. The trade was slow, on former terms• Malt met a slow sale, at late rates. There was a good supply of oats on the stands. Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, at rather lower prices. Beans ruled firm, and changed hands at somewhat en hanced rates. Peas moved off steadily, at very full prices. A fair average business was transacted in flour at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Case of the Alhambra Again, At the Marlborough-street, police-court, yesterday, Mr. Roberts applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for a summons against the proprietor of the Alhambra, for allowing stage dancing and theatrical representations, the place of public resort not being licensed for such performances. The magistrate would recollect that the elaborate judgment given by him, after hearing evidence on both sides, had been reversed on appeal to the magistrates at the Middlesex Sessions. This reversal, he would venture to assert, had caused general surprise, and was opposed to the opinion of the majority of the legal profession. Had the magistrate done at the time what he was solicited to do, imposed such a fine as would have obliged the defendant to take the case to the judges, the present application would not have been necessary, for such a decision would have been given as would have set the question at rest, and been satisfactory to the country at large. He thought that the magistrate, in justice to himself, his decision having been overridden by the magistrates, ougfit to grant a new summons. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would take a little time to consider the application. He must pay respect and proper deference to the opinion of the court, which was regarded as superior to a police court. He presumed that Mr. Roberts made this application on fresh evidence. Mr. Roberts said the evidence was precisely similar to the evidence brought forward on the original charge. The same ballet and the same accessories would be put in evi dence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said, that case having been decided, he could not think of granting another summons to try it over again. Mr. Roberts said, although the case and evidence would be similar, the offence would be a fresh one, the ballet having been played continuously. Mr. Tyrwhitt—That, of course, would make a difference. He would say that his opinion remained the same as it was when he gave judgment. Mr. Roberts said tho magistrate's opinion was the opinion of all real lawyers. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not show such a want of courtesy to the Middlesex magistrates as to decide on the application at once. Mr. Roberts said a case was applied for but refused by the Middlesex magistrates, who indeed came to that decision before they entered the court. The real question was not tried at the sessions ; the magistrates only took into consi deration that they had been in the habit of granting licenses under the 25th Geo. 11., and whether the ballet dancing exceeded that kind of dancing intended to be covered by such license. They held that it did not, but they did not thereby decide the legal question, which was whether the 25th Geo. 11. gave the power to magistrates to grant dancing licenses. When the magistrates granted the license to Mr. E. T. Smith they said the Alhambra must not be made a casino ; they would only grant the license for stage dancing. That, ho contended, was beyond the authority of the magistrates, and was the real question to be determined. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the question was no doubt a very im portant one. He would take a few days to decide upon the application for another summons. WINE.—We described a short time ago M. Pas teur's observations on the fungi or mycodermata which cover the surface of wine, such as the mycoderma aceti, which promotes its transformation into vinegar, the mycoderma vini, which contributes to its preservation in its natural state, then that which imparts a bitter taste to it, &c. In the paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. de Vergnette-Lamotte adds some observations of his own on the subject. In 1846, M. Coste had sent some wines to Calcutta, which were sent back to him, when analysis showed that their composition had not changed; their colour only being altered. They no longer possessed the reddish-violet hue which characterises Burgundy, and they had assumed the yellowish-red colour of old wines. At this time the existence of glycerine in wine was not known, the labours of M. Pasteur and M. Prat having but subsequently shown that this substance exercises a considerable influence on the taste of alcoholic liquors. M. de V.-Lamotte, in allusion to these facts, states that in Burgundy little fear is entertained of the sort of mycoderma or mould which occasions a bitter taste. Wines that have been kept 20 or 30 years will acquire that flavour, which is a symptom of their death by old age ; but the malady which is really dan gerous is one which attacks them in the third or fourth year of their existence. The wine in this case acquires a peculiar sweetish taste, which after a while degenerates into what the French call gout de queue de renard ; a few bubbles of carbonic acid evolved, and in the end the tartrate of potash contained in the wine is transformed into acetate of potash. This disease often attacks wine kept in bottles, so that there is every reason to suppose that all wines have the germs of mycodermata in themselves from the vat, and that these germs remain in a dormant state until a favourable opportunity occurs for their de velopment. Drawing wine frequently from the cask is an excellent means of preservation. A cold of 12 degrees Centigrade below freezing-point, alcohol, salts, tannin, acids, sulphurous gas, and flowers of sulphur, all exercise an excellent preservative action on wine. Our author tells us that the mycodermata of wine become inert when the liquid is for some time exposed to a warmth not exceeding 40 deg. Centigrade, and this is the reason why wine that has been sent to India and back is so highly prized. 31. V. Lamotte exposed a certain number of bottles containing Burgundy, having 13 per cent. of alcohol and a rich violet-red, to a warmth of 50 deg. Centigrade for the space of two months, at the end of which time it was com pared with the same sort of wine kept in a cellar. The latter had acquired the sweetish taste of diseased wine, while the former had lost its violet-red hue and its new taste, and strongly resembled Spanish wine, though it did contain a few mycodermata in a half-organised state. If the experiment be prolonged, the wine loses all its colour at the end of a year, save a golden tint, which French wine merchants call coleurpelure d'oignon. Its taste is then so very different from that of the wine which is threatened with the bad mycoderma, that M. V. Lamotte thinks his plan of exposing wine to a moderate warmth a sovereign preservative against the disease ; only care must be taken to leave an empty space of three centi metres inthe neck of the bottle. OZONOMET RIC OBSERVATIONS. Our readers know that ozone is a modification of oxygen by electricity; that its presence in the atmosphere is ascer tained by a sort of test-paper prepared with iodine, and that the quantity of ozone is manifested by the depth of colour which such paper assumes. We will also re mind them that ozone is supposed to play a great part in the sanitary condition of the atmosphere, and that there is strong presumption in favour of the idea that the absence of ozone favours of the progress of epidemics, and more especially cholera. Hence ozonometric observations have acquired considerable importance in meteorology. In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Berigny has communicated a table of such observations made during the last nine years, with 62 readings per month, and the results ho has obtained may be summed up as fol lows :—The depth of colour acquired by the test-paper is in the inverse ratio of temperature, and nearly in the direct ratio of the moisture of the atmosphere; it is often in opposi tion to the degree of clearness of the sky, and in general increases as we rise to a higher level. In an atmo sphere charged with miasmatic emanations the colour of the paper is light in proportion to the quantity of such emanations, showing that in unhealthy districts there is a want of ozone. The normal acidity of the atmosphere produces no effect on the test-paper, and during storms, it acquires a deep tint with greater rapidity, owing to the electrified state of the air. The month of May yields the maximum of ozone, that of November the minimum, March and September, which are equinoctial periods, show a maximum of ozone. The lowest average of ozone occurred in 1856, and the highest in 1861; the year 1864 being the fifth between these two extremes. The summer season is generally more electrical than the winter season, a result which it was easy to foresee summer being the drier and warmer of the two. But in foggy weather the paper assumes a deeper tint; a curious anomaly. Barometric variations agree tolerably well with ozonometric ones, but thermometric ones agree much bet ter. In cloudy or rainy weather the test paper acquires a deeper hue—another singularity which it is not easy to explain. The force of the wind does not seem to produce a ny particular effect on the paper, but its direction does ; the winds most favourable to the manifestation of ozone being the B.E. and N.W., the opposite directions being the least favourable. Lastly, when a storm passes over France or England the test-paper always assumes a deeper colour. THE STORM OF YESTERDAY. -BURSTING OF A SEWER ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. --- FLOODING or THE LlNE.—Yesterday afternoon during the heavy thunder and lightning storm, an old sewer which passed under the North London Railway, between the Kingsland and Stoke Nowington stations, burst in conse quence of the great rush of water, and flooded the line for a considerable distance. It appeared that the crown of the arch of the sewer under the centre of the permanent way yielded, and so great was the pressure that the water shot up in a body as if out of the main and rushed along the line. Fortunately the engine-drivers of the trains had notice of what had happened, and, beyond the traffic being somewhat delayed, nothing of im portance occurred to the trains. While the storm of rain lasted no measures could be taken to check the rush of water through the sewer, and at one time there was some two feet of water by the side of the line. At length, after the storm had passed over, although there was a force of water through the sewer from the upper northern districts, the flooding on the line subsided. Bricklayers and plate layers were at once set to work to repair the damage to the sewer, and to make up those parts of the permanent way which had suffered. In the evening the traffic went on as sual. Yesterday Major-General A. B. Stransham, the Inspector-General of Royal Marines Light Infantry, continued and brought to a close the hall-yearly inspection of the Chatham battalion of Royal Ma rines, resuming it at the point at which the preview day's inspection terminated. His visit to Chatham terminated last evening with a banquet, given by the officers to the Inspector-Gen. and the heads of de partmontst both naval and THAMES. A DESPERATE RUPPIAN.—Charles Regan, a tall, coarse looking man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting John Dodds, an engineer, at the Wil liam the Fourth beerhouse in High-street, Poplar, George Mountford, police-sergeant, 31 K, and William Elliott, a police-constable, No. 261 K. The prisoner was in the beerhouse intoxicated and making a disturbance. He interfered with the guests, and struck Dodds, one of the witnesses. He also insulted the landlady and demanded the return of some money he had paid for ale. His insolent demand was not complied with, and he made luither disturbances. Dodds left the house and called in Police-sergeant Mountford, on whom the prisoner made a violent assault, knocked him down, and disabled him by kicking him about the head and face. A constable, named Elliott, was called in and the prisoner struck him with his fist, and was proceeding to further violence when Elliott took his truncheon from its case and struck him on tho head with it. Tho prisoner fell and was secured. Mr. M. Brownfield, surgeon, of No. 171, East India-road, said he was called into the station-house last night to attend Mountford, who was suffering from contusions on the head, which unfitted him for duty. Tho sergeant could not masticate any solid food, and the temporal muscle was affected. The sergeant would not be able to return to his duty for some time. He had examined the prisoner's head. There was a lacerated wound but not deep upon it. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Paget said this was a case he must punish with con siderable severity. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Dodds. For the assault upon Mountford, which was of a more serious nature, he sentenced the prisoner to be im prisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. The assault on Mountford was one of a cowardly, cruel, and abominable nature, and he hardly knew whether he was justified in withdrawing the case from the consideration of a jury. He should also have committed the prisoner for two months for the assault on Elliott if he had not been struck with the truncheon. The constable was quite jus tified in what he had done. It was proper and judicious for him to use his truncheon in this case. AN ADVENTURE AT BUENOS AYRES.---I was re turning from a ball with a friend at an early hour in the morning when I heard a report of firearms close to me in a house. I endeavoured to break in the door, but could not. Looking through a window I saw a man, pistol in hand, who had just fired a second barrel ; at the same mo ment a man, bleeding, came out from another door crying for assistance. I rushed in with several policemen after me and wrenched the pistol from the first and seized him. Other police at the same time had broken in at another door (it was a corner house), and seeing me standing there pistol in hand, holding ono man, with another apparently lying dead before me, mistook mo for the murderer, and imme diately cut me down with two severe cuts from clubbed lances on the head. I fell covered with blood. On getting up again I was lanced in several places, and beaten black and blue. How I escaped with my life I know not. I was dragged on, more dead than alive, and thrown into prison as the supposed murderer, and remained there for about 10 hours. This is my first day out of bed. Thanks to God, the wounds are nearly healed, and I feel no ill effects from them. I feared that my skull was fractured, but I now conclude that it is all right. I have been on shore since, living at an hotel, whence the doctors will not let me move for some days. Everybody has been most kind, and it has been taken up by our Minister here. 1 never knew what a thrashing was before. I offered no resistance, having not oven a stick to guard a blow off with. The pistol, I sup pose, was knocked out of my hand by the first blow, which was given me from behind, and on turning round to see who had struck me I received one across the forehead,which felled me. I was covered with blood from head to foot, but did not lose my senses. One of the wounded men is dying, the other badly wounded. I shall carry a two-inch scar on the forehead, just above the right eye. What will bo the end of it between our Minister and this Government I can not yet say ; perhaps an apology—not that that will do me Plucil pact BOROUGH HOP. English hops continue in short supply, and tho trade rules firm at full currencies. Foreign hops of good and fine quality were firm in price. WHITECHAPEL.

COMPENSATION CLAIM S. —Ano th er compensation case was taken yesterday at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion square, " Giblett v. The Tottenham and Hampstead Junc tion Railway." A verdict for £2,325 was given. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was for the claimant, and Mr. Lloyd for the company. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENT.—The Rev. Gilbert Charles Jackson, clerk, 8.C.L., has been preferred by the Crown to the rectory of Tockenham Week, in the county of Wilts and diocese of Salisbury, vice the Rev. Thomas Hyde Ripley, deceased.

Aston, the Sheriffs assessor, and a jury of merchants and others, to assess the value of a quantity of land, as well as the amount of depreciation, be longing to Mr. Edward Griffin, near Mossley-hill, Allerton, through whose estate the Edge-hill and Garston branch of the London and North-Western Company passes. Mr. Griffin's claim upon the company for the land actually taken, as well as compulsory sale, depreciation, and severance, was between £14,000 and £15,000. The case excited a con siderable amount of interest, and a large number of sur veyors, land valuers, and others were present, including Messrs. John Cunningham, Young, Scourfield, Leyland, and Williams, who had been summoned on behalf of the claimant ; and Messrs. S. Holme, Picton, Culshaw, Shelmerdine, and other gentlemen, on behalf of the railway company. Mr. L eo f r i c Temple appeared for t h e c l a i mant, and Mr. Horati o Ll oyd and Mr. Littler f or th e ra il way company. The j ury having been sworn, proceeded to Allerton to view th e l and, and on the i r re t urn, a ft er an absence of betw een t wo and three h ours, M r . T emp l e stated the case f or th e claimant, and called w i tnesses w h o stated that the. approach to a very large portion of the estate had been almost cut off, 70 acres being severed on one side of the line, and 80 acres on the other. Mr. John Cunningham thought Mr. Griffin was entitled to £11,753. Mr. Owen Williams thought £13,582. Mr. John Scour field, builder and valuer, thought £13,991. In cross-exami nation by Mr. Lloyd, this witness said the entire estate was worth from £750 to £BOO an acre, which would be from £130,000 to £ 1 40,000. He believed a person could not do better just now than buy land five or six miles from Liverpool and hold it for some time. It must increase in value. He had had 3s. per yard offered for land further from Liverpool than this, and he had refused it. Yesterday the company called rebutting testimony, and the jury awarded £6,750, being £3,742 15s. for the land actually taken, and the balance for depreciation in value through severance of the r emainder.—Manchester Courier. AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL JOHNSTON.— Gen. Johnston's camp was a very plain one, scarcely as respectable as a division general's in the Union army. The tents were old, and scattered about without much re gard to regularity. The general's tent was a plain wall tent, not much better than the rest. In front of this General Johnston and some five or six officers of his staff were sitting. On the lid of a mess chest near them were the remains of a very plain frugal supper. Johnston is a man of about five feet nine inches in height, rather slight, but muscularly built frame. From appearance I should take him to be about 50. Only that his hair and beard ara so grey you would not think him so old. He is evidently a man of great reflecti ve powers, schooled itit t i s pt y. the His tvesursbasteirvion is enc Y , c om bi ned with untiring elrg so natural, dignifi e d, and though at the ehase;is reading your easy that tim e yo y u su at a o r n e ce co f n e s e c l io a u t s yo th u a r t thoughts like an open book. He possesses much of the refined ease and elegance of a gentleman with the pene tration and firmness of a soldier. He conversed freely. A remark was made on the hopelessness of the South con tending against the North with her vast wealth and un bounded resources, both in men and means. While this war has depopulated and devasted the South the North was never so flourishing, nor never had so large a popula tion. " True enough; yet we did not fail so much from the want of men and means as from mismanagement. Had we your Government, sir, the result might be quite different." He thinks the mass of the people will quietly return to their homes and conform to the new state of things. He was bitter on the murder of President Lincoln. " Lincoln, sir," he said, " was a good man and a conservative man. His death placed in power a man of radical principles—a —Southern man—a man, I fear, of strong private preju dices, who will not try t o heal u p the wounds of the na tion. The scoundrel Boo th was a ho t - brained man, full of a kind of tragic desire of immortality. He was no friend to the . South. If at any time such an act could complicate the Federal Government it is not now. Even should the President's death help our cause for a season it would be sure to bring a curse upon it ; for never did a cause flourish by assassination. All good men and true soldiers depre cate the assassin. I hope he may be taken alive, in orde r to r come General Sherman's abilities ; but was very bitter on Jeff.

VALETTA, May 19.—The Caradoc, 2, despatch vessel, Lieut.-Commander E. H. Wilkinson, ar rived from Marseilles on the 13th inst. She is to proceed to Constantinople in about a fortnight, to be at the disposal of Sir Henry Bulwer. The Meannee, 60, Commander H. G. Belson (in charge) arrived on the 15th inst. from the Piraeus. Mr. R. Bulwer Lytton, Secretary of Legation at Athens, who has been appointed to Lisbon, arrived by her. Capt. Wodehouse re-assumed the command on her arrival. It is reported that the King of Greece will spend some portion of the sum mer at Corfu, where the palace is being prepared for his reception. The Enterprise, 4, ironclad, Com mander Rowley, went out on the 15th inst. for practice, and returned on the following day. The Royal Oak, 35, ironclad, Capt. F. A. Campbell, and the Resistance, 16, ironclad, Capt. W. Cham berlain, went out on the 18th to renew their steam trials. The Victoria, 102, (flag-ship), Capt. G. Goodenough, followed on the 19th (to -day), for gun practice. All three vessels are still outside. The Pelican, 17, Commander W. Comber, arrived on the 18th inst. from Bengazi, having on board Mr. Dennis, her Britannic Majesty's Vice-Consul at that place, who has obtained leave for the benefit of his health. Commander Comber has been invalided. The Firefly, 4, surveying vessel, Commander G. R. Wilkinson, arrived on the 18th inst. from Tunis for the purpose of replenishing coals and rating chrono meters. She left Malta on the Ist of April, and was detained at Tunis by very bad weather till the 24th, when she commenced surveying in the Gulf of Tunis, and finished the coast as far as Kabylia, about mid way between Tunis and Sousa. She went in search of a sunken rock, reported by a Greek vessel to the Commander-in-Chief to exist 11 miles from Pan tellaria, but found a depth of 450 fathoms on the spot indicated. This will remove all fears that may have arisen on the subject. The Firefly will leave in a few days for the coast of Tunis to resume operations. The Fanny Lambert returned here on the 15th inst., after completing the repair of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph. ' The "work has occupied upwards of four months. She ex perienced most exceptional weather, having only had twenty-four days on which the operations could be carried on. She left on the 17th, on return to London, taking with her Mr. Irvin, superintendent at Malta, who is proceeding' home on account of ill-health ; Mr. Temple, en gineer, and telegraph staff. The following promo tions have been made by the Commander-in-Chief on this station, consequent on the death of Capt. T. D. A. Fortescue, late of her Majesty's ship Phoebe : —Commander I. N. T. Saulez, of the Racer, to be captain of the Cossack ; Lieut. H. L. Perceval, first of the Victoria, to be commander of the Racer; Sub- Lieut. W. G. Lecocq, of the Victoria, to be lieut. ; Capt. W. R. Rolland has been removed from the Cossack to the Phoebe ; Mr. R. C. T. Blunt, mid shipman, of the Cossack, has been appointed to the Orlando ; Mr. R. W. Craigie, midshipman, also of the Cossack, to the Phoebe ; and Mr. Murdoch, mid shipman, of the Victoria, to the Cossack. The Wizard, gunboat, Lieut. G.' H. Lawson, left on the 17th for Tunis, taking Commander Perceval, who will assume the command of the Racer at that place. Mr. R. L. Smart, midshipman, also proceeded in the Wizard for the Racer. Capt. Saulez will return in the gun boat to join the Cossack. The Phoebe, 35, Capt. W. R. Rolland, left Malta on the 12th inst. (to-day) for Zante and Cephalonia. Her Majesty's ship Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage, which left Malta on the 7th of April, returned to this island on the 12th inst., after having been in attendance on Prince Arthur. She met the Prince, who was on board the royal yacht Enchantress, at Smyrna on the 14th ult. The two ships left on the 16th, and called that day at Mitylene and in the Gulf of San derlik. They returned to Smyrna on the 18th. The Magicienne left on the 18th, and rejoined the Prince at the mouth of the River Strymon on the 25th ult. Both ships called on that day at Grissos Bay, the next day at Khiliandarion Bay and Paiday Bay. On the 28th they arrived at Salonica, and anchored off the River Scalambria on the 29th ult. They arrived at Volo on the Ist of May, anchored near Thermopylae on the 2d, and arrived at Legrano Bay on the 3d. They remained there until the 4th, and arrived at Dolos on the sth, Syra on the 6th, Antiparos on the 7th, and Milo on the Bth. The Magicienne parted company from the Enchantress on the 9th, and sailed for Malta. The Bristol, 39, screw steam frigate, 3,027 tons, 600-horse power, master in charge John T. C. Webb, was removed from the large basin in Sheer ness dockyard to moorings in the harbour, having been thoroughly repaired both in hull and machinery and refitted for commission. She is placed in the first division of the Sheerness steam reserve. The followingappointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—J. Phillips, master, additional to the Cumberland, for service in the Favourite ; Thomas H. W. Beddows, midshipman, to the Hector ; Henry W. Hill, midshipman, to the Sutlej ; W. W. Williams, inspector of machinery afloat, additional, to the Edgar, for temporary service ; W. Glasspole, chief engineer, additional, to the Asia, in charge of engines of Geyser, on that ship being paid off ; J. A. Douglas, master's-assistant, to the Scout ; J. A. Jones, master's-assistant, to the Edgar ; Richard P. Tully, master's-assistant, to the Achilles ; and Walter Strugnell, master's assistant, to the Dasher. Pm - mourn, May 21.—The ship True Briton„ 1,046 tons, Capt. George H. Bawn, belonging to Messrs. Money, Wigram, and Sons, was 30 miles south-west of Scilly on Saturday, steering east by south, under all pos sible sail ; wind easterly, light. She loft Melbourne Fob. 26 for London, with 12,0000 z. of gold, 1,050 bales of wool. 3,000 bags copper ore, 200 tons of bark, and 60 cabin and 200 steerage passengers, including Mr. Maule and Lady Campbell, Capt. and Mrs. Despard, Mr. and Mrs. M'Culloch, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs, Dyer, Mr. and Mrs. Catling, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mesdames Petigrew, Coßingwood, Desmor, and M 'Pherson, and Messrs Blyth, Griffiths, Smith, Kennedy, Laver, Townsend, Taylor and Cleveland, and Dr. Watson. In lat. 53 32 S., long. 176 20 E., the True Briton was surrounded by at least 400 ice bergs, and was compelled to steer north to the 50th paral lel ; this greatly detained the ship's passage to Cape Horn, which was rounded March 27. No south-east trades wore experienced, but a light north-east wind. Tho Line was crossed April 25. Off the Western Islands strong north-oast gales prevailed for Oleo days, after which light breezes from south-west. - On the 16th of April, in lat. 19 43 S., long. 31 52 W., she spoke the bark Sales, 35 days from Liverpool for Manilla.

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new wing of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, was per formed yesterday by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in the presence of an immense attendance of the nobility and gentry. An immense marquee most tastefully fitted with flags and flowers was erected over *the spot selected for the commencement of the building operations, and imme diately in front of the chair placed for the Prince of Wales, and very near the foundation stone, a large gallery was erected, and filled principally by ladies, all of whom wore the Danish favours, white and red. At a few minutes to four his Royal Highness arrived at the hospital, and was immediately conducted to • the chair in the centre of the marquee, the bands playing the National Anthem, the guard of honour (the 36th Middlesex Volunteers) present ing arms. The Rev. Canon Born, incumbent of Paddington, than advanced, and presented the Prince with an address, stat ing the gratification and honour conferred upon them by his Royal Highness performing the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new wing hereafter to be called the Albert Edward Wing, in which two wards would be respectively named the " Alexandra " and "Albert Victor." His Royal Highness replied as follows : "Your Grace,—My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen— "l thank you for the kind expressions you have em ployed towards me in this address. I am thankful also that, in complying with your wishes that I should lay the first stone of the new wing of the hospital, I am, at the same time, carrying out the good work commenced by my revered father. " The necessities of the constantly-increasing population of a great and new suburb have imperatively demanded additional accommodation for their sick, and this require ment is distinctly shown in the statement made of the class of patients that have been received during the last year, the majority of the cases treated having been those re quiring immediate surgical relief. " It must hereafter be one of my most pleasant associa tions in connection with the proceedings of this day to have, as your governors propose, the new wing called after myself, and that two of the wards should receive the names of the Princess of Wales and my son. " I trust, gentlemen, that neither they nor I will ever neglect the cause of the sick and the poor, and I join my prayers to yours in now invoking the blessings of the Almighty to prosper the undertaking." The Bishop of London then offered up a prayer, and his Royal Highness laid the stone with the usual formalities, an elegant silver trowel being handed him by Mr. R. L. Trollope. The National Anthem was then sung, and his Royal Highness received, personally and separately, from tho hands of fifty-five ladies and gentlemen that number of purses, containing contributions towards the erection of the hospital—the sum thus subscribed amounting to about £3OO. Three cheers were given for his Royal Highness, who was then conducted to his carriage by the governors, and the proceedings terminated. LONDON GAZE FTE—Last Evening. WINDSOR CASTLE, Ilmr_lB.
