Pardon, I pray ! thou venerable bar, I'm deep in debt, as poets often are. l es ; when I look at thee and my arrears, I find that I am over head and ears. But never mind, I'll manage to defray, The debt which hitherto I've failed to pay : In other words, toy muse's ready purse Shall liquidate the debt by means of verse. Illustrious gate ! thou long bast had to stand, The boundary-mark of Fleet-street and the Strand ; Nor can I think that ever thy removal Will meet with the majority's approval. The statues of Elizabeth and James Will still remind us of their royal names ; While in thy western niches we shall view Thy Charleses number one and number two. I often think, famed bar, while gazing at you, And mutely conning each illustrious statue, What ditierent articles of dress were made When either of those noted monarchs swayed. MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE Was quite unknown, When Charles, or Bess, or James enjoyed the throne. No stylish samples of improvement's march Then passed beneath thy famed elliptic arch. No MOSES then in splendid garments clad The English gentleman, adult, or lad. THE HATS OF MOSES Then, thou noted gate, Were never known to decorate the pate. Inferior flats to MOSES' decked the crown, When those famed sovereigns laid their precepts down. THE BOOTS AND SHOES. Thou, celebrated bar, Were not at all like those of MOSES are; Far, far inferior fashion k id they got, And far inferior firmness—had they not? FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY, Such as MOSES show, Were never then adopted-0 dear, no. If Queen Elizabeth's stone statue there, Had but a tongue, and reason to compare, 'Twould tell us frankly—bearing out my view, That ladies never dressed as now they do. MOSES and SON, 'twould say, surpass them far, On viewing what they were, and what they are And thus have I improved on Temple-bar. LIST OF PRICES. READY SIADS.

G. L. HUTCHINSON, Secretary A It R I A u E. v lll One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questioaably contented. Diffidence, or a muse et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes cm s:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself wider the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble; regret en aomprostax hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ana broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should Not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect weend mere sorely than poverty or misfortune.

" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy— rich, not gaudy ; For the aparel oft proclaims the amis." rilllE spirit and meaning of the above quotation J.L. may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented Paletot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar ment fur either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most corn lb; tatile reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from' one aid a halt to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London •nly of the Patentees, 11.

Cows and calves were also plenti ful, and sold from 71 10s to 121 10s. Barreoers not mush asked for, and no more than 5s per score could be obtained. A few working oxen were sold from 131 10s to 14/10s each. But,tiors' calves 44d to 54d per lb.

The market has been largely supplied with store pigs, which, like other things, met but a dull sale.

LIVERPOOL, Maness 9.—There was a small attendance of the trade at this morning's market, and the business done in wheat and flour was quite in retail, at a reduction in some in stances of Id per bushel and 6d per barrel. Oats were id per bushel cheaper, and oatmeal 3d to 6d per load also. There was scarcely any demand for barley, beans, or peas. The best yellow Indian Corn being scarce, brought Tuesday's rates, viz., 29s 6d to 305 for flat and round aorn, but the secondary qualities of white and mixed were 6d per quarter cheaper than on Tuesday. Fine yellow Indian meal sells at 14s to 14s 6d per barrel. Newsom-, MARCH B.—The supply of wheat to.day is very small, yet fully sufficient for the demand, which ;is ex. tremely inactive. The rates obtained on the sales made have been barely equal to last week. Barley, moderate supply, the demand slack, and last week's prices scarcely maintained. Beans and peas short supply, fair sale. but unaltered in value. Oats. large supply; demand slack, and late rates scarcely sup ported. STOWMARKET CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH B.—Since our last we have had a very limited trade in wheat, millers and merchants being slow to purchase, and farmers unwilling to sell, especially at lower rates. The little business transacted has been at gradually receding prices. In barley more has been done, and prices have remained nearly stationary. The quantity of fine barley is getting quite short. Beans and peas are offered on very low terms. Clover seeds are offered at very irregular figures, quality being exceedingly various. Wheat: New white, 611bs, 50s to 53s ; new.red, 601bs, 44s to 465.

It will be remembered that the cauie came by appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, who granted an injuflction restraining actions at law brought by the defemciant against the - plair.tiff on bills of exchange. The bills were accepted in payment of cotton; but a dispute hav ing arisen about the quality of the cotton, the plaintiff refused pay tricot of the bills pending tho settlement of the dispute, which had been rtferred to arbitration. The action at law having ben raised in the meantime by the holders of the hills, the irjunction to restrain the actions was granted by the Vice -Chancellor. Upon hearing the appeal, the Lord Chancellor confirmed the order of the Court below for the i n j unct i on, an d perm i t t e d t h e case to stand over, in ord er t h at the parties might hews, an opportunity of comi ng to an arrangement. It was now stated t o h is Lordsh i p t h at t h e part i es could not arrange the dispute, and the Learned Counsel (Mr. Rolt) applied to his Lordship to give authority for the sale of the cotton His Lordship, however, refused the application. IN RE DYCE SOMBRE. The unopposed lunatic petitions having been disposed of, the further hearing of the argument in the above cause, on the petition for superseding the injunction, was then proceeded with. Mr. HOLT at great length replied to the arguments of Mr. Bethel, Mr. Calvert, and the other Learned Coun sel, who had appeared against the application, and not having concluded at the rising of the Court, at four o'clock, the further hearing was postponed till to.tnor row (this day), when Mr. Rolt will finish his reply. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 9. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARR:E.) Hannah Southgate, 29, a married woman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Ham, at the parish of Wix, by feloniously administering to him a large quan tity of a certain deadly poison called a hite arsenic. Mr. R) land and Mr. R.Alwell conducted the prosecu tion; and Mr. Ballantiae and Mr. T. Chambers defended the prisoner. The Counsel for the prosecution having opened the case, explained to the jury that the prisoner was charged with the murder of her former husband, Thomas 'dam. The principal evidence was that of a w oman named Phoebe Reid, who had lived as servant with the de ceased and the prisoner, and who deposed (as well as other witnesses) to frequent threats made use, of by the prisoner to take the life of her husband, and at his death to gratify her preference for another. This witness gave some vague and obscure accounts of tea and sago, or arrowroot, having been prepared by the prisoner for her husband, into whic.h she infused some powder, and added that after taking ;it the deceased became very sick and complained of violent pains in the throat. She also deposed to habits of in temperance and infidelity on the part of the prisoner, during the lifetime of the deceased, and said that her mistress had been on terms of intimacy with a woman named Mary May, who had been convicted at the last assizes of murder by poison, and executed, and that the two women had mutually rejoiced over the death of the deceased. In her cross-examination the woman. Reid made admissions which showed that her own habits were far from pure, and that she had been charged with theft. She also acknowledged that poison was kept in the house (and, as it appeared, in a very careless man ner, so that any one might have access to it), I:or the destruction of rats, and that she did not believe„ when her mistress made use of the threats, that she really in tended to kill her husband. . . Professor Taylor, lecturer of chemistry at Guy's Hospital, deposed that on examination of the stomach of the deceased he detected a large quantity of arsenic, and that death was caused thereby. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury OR behalf of the prisoner, and in the course of his speech he urged upon the jury that the evidence of the principal witness ought to have very little weight upon them, and that her own account of what occurred was highly improbable and inconsistent. Ho then commeated upon all the other facts of the case, and submitted that it was very possible the deceased might have taken the poison by accident. and that at all events in such a serious charge as this, and ono which upon conviction would undoubtedly entail such dreadful consequences, that the evidence was not so conclusive of the prisoner's guilt as to compel them, upon their consciences and the oath they had taken, to return a verdict of guilty. Mr. Baron PARICF. h... up, and the jury, atter a snort deliberation, returned a verdict (X--Not Guilty. The trial, of which the above summary conveys all the important points, occupied more than twelve hours,. 0 - 111; OLK ClRCUlT.—Bedford, March 9. The Learned Judges of assize arrived here yesterday, at two o'clock, having travelled together with the bar by a special train from Aylesbury, and the courts were both opened this morning, at 10 o'clock. The cause list contains two causes; and the calendar 39 prisoners, most of whom are charged with petty offences, the ooJy ex ceptions bring one case of child murder, one of man slaughter, one of house-breaking, three others im which parties are respectively charged with maliciously stab bing and wounding a constable in the exercise• of his duty; one in which the party is charged with cutting and stabbing, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, and one with night poaching. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Borax.) William Partridge, aged 38, was arraigned on the coroner's inquisition, for the manslaughter of William Skinner, at Eaton &con, the grand jury having thrown out the bill. Mr. WORLLEDGE appeared for the prosecution, and called witnesses, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner and the deceased, and other labourers, having begun " harvesting" on the 29th July last, as was usual in the parish, they celebrated the event with " potations pottle deep" in honour of John Barleycorn, each man having consumed eight pints of beer. As might be expected, a quarrel arose amongst them ; and the deceased said to Partridge, who was engaged in a dispute with a man named Miles, ",_Well, if you are going to tight, I will g o h ome, " on which Partridge told him to " go to his master and say what a drunken fool he was." Incensed at this, Skinner dared him to " make him out a fool," and doubled his fist at the prisoner, who thereupon struck him on the face with the back of his reaping-hook. This wits followed by a regular " stand up fight," in the cours e o f w hi c h t h e d ece ased rushed at Partridge's stomach with his head foremost, intend ing to knock him over. Partridge, however, contrived to slip aside, and dealt his assailant two heavy blows with his fist on the nape of his neck, which sent him reeling into the standing corn, from which he wss picked up in an insensible state. On being taken home a medical man was sent for, but no efforts could arouse the deceased, who languished till the 2d of August when he died. After his death an examination of his body showed that three of the vertebrae of the neck were entirely broken through and driven into the spinal mar row—a state of things quite sufficient to cause death. The medical man, however, said, that so severe and ex tensive an injury could scarcely have been produced by a fall; while he thought it equally difficult to attribute it to a blow. _ _ _ biT, TozEu, on Islet of the prisoner, addressed the jury, contending that the prisoner was acting in self defence, and that as the surgeon had stated his inability to assign the injuries which caused the death of the de ceased to a blow, he therefore submitted that the petty jury ought to follow the example of the grand jury and acquit the prisoner, especially as be should show him to have borne a good characterup to this unfortunate trans action. Ills LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that there was no ground for the idea that the prisoner could be justified on the ground of his acting in self defence on this occa sion. It was illegal to fight, and this was nothing more nor less than a fight. Then, as to . the cause of d eat h, though the surgeon had stated his inability to assign it to the fall or the blow, yet, if the evidence was to he be• lieved, the deceased came by the injury which caused his death from a fall or the blow administered to hi m b y the prisoner d ur i ng the fight. It might be that thei e were many mitigating circumstances, but they were for the consideration of the Court and not of the jury, wh o , if they believed the evidance, were bound to find the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The jury, after deliberating a long time, a s k e d hi s Lordship to define to them the distinction between man slaughter and accident. His LORDSHIP having again explained to them that wherever death ensued from a fight, the survivor was guilty in law of manslaughter, The jury found the prisoner yruilty, but recommended him for the very lightest possible punishment, as they looked on the death of the deceased as a m ere acc i dent. Mr. Baron ROLFE agreed with the view taken of the case by the jury, and sentenced the prisoner to be im • prisoned tor 14 days. OXFORD CIRGIiI i.— Worcester, March 8. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Robert Pulley, 49, was indicted for the wilful m u rd er of Mary Ann St a ight, at Broughton, in the h am l et o f with a peculi ar express i on sWthalocf Decemberot, in the parish of Holy Cross, Per s h ore , on t h e Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Huddleston conducted the prosecution, of singular and Mr. W. appearance,il.

Elizabeth Richards, the first witness called, s a id the niece, and who was fifteen years of age, wa s my a man and lived with me. About four o'clock on the afternoon of the sth of December, I sent her to Mrs. Tyler's shop for seine goods, and did not see her again until she was found murdered in a ditch, in the lone which lay in her road. On oue o3casion, some time before her death, the prisoner told deceased she wanted her head knocked round, for she would be better dead than alive. She was found dead next day. +4 , k 1- I. MARCH 10, 184:0. ' A number of witnesses were called, who proved that the prisoner had frequently threatened to kill the de ceased, on account of light conduct, which he charged her with being guilty of, he being in love with her, although she had never given him the slightest encou ragement. Other witnesses proved that ho had been near the spot where the body was found, before and after the period at which it is supposed the murder was per petrated. Ann Cook--I live at the Coach and Horses Inn, at Pershore. On Wednesday morning, Dec. 6, the pri soner came to the house about seven, and had a pint of cider. He gave me twopence. I drew him another pint, for which he gave me half-a•crown. He was very nervous, and dropped a portion of the change. I got a candle, to light; he pushed the candle with hii hand, and said he could see to find it himself. I noticed blood on the wristband and back of his hand, but whether of the shirt or frock I could not say. I observed him tuck it under with his other hand. Ho was in the house about two hours. He said he had come from Broughton, shich is two miles from Pershore. He went out of the house several times towards the river, by the back of the house. lam positive I saw blood on his hand. William Harris—l am superintendent of police at Pershore. I apprehended the prisoner on the morning of Dec. 7, in a lone barn about a mile from P, !shore. He had two smock frocks on; ono of them had blood on from the wristband up to the collar. There were spots on the gathers of the neck of the frock. There were several marks of blood also on his waistcoat. He had trousers on, and two clean shirts. I took him to the station-house. He met a man, and said to him " Weil, Jack, I am going to bo hanged." Cross-examined—l had previously told him he was charged with the murder of the girl. He said " I did not do it." He was on the straw in the barn. He said Let me tie my shoes first. He put his handsin - lais pockets, when I threw him on his back and searched him. I found a knife, a bag, and 13. 4d. in money. Frederick Tyler went with his father, on the Satur day after the murder, and found the stick produced in the ditch. It was covered with water and briers. There were some light-coloured hairs on it, of a similar colour to the hair of the deceased Mary Ann Staight.—(The stick, a short clubbed one, resembled a mallet, a most formidable looking weapon, was here produced in the court, and caused a universal sensation, as being doubt less the instrument by which the unfortunate girl was deprived of life.) On the Monday before the murder prisoner said Mary Ann Staight had been scandalising him. He bad a billhook or hacker in his hand, and said she (deceased) wanted it put through her b— head. The deceased was a well-conducted young woman, about 15 years of age. Thomas Panter—l know the stick produced. I had it for nearly eight years. I used it for driving hedge stakes, arid afterwards cut a portion of it off, and used it as a sort of hammer to drive in taps, or anything of the kind. I missed it on the 16th of November. I saw it the day before on the potato patch, at the back of our house, where the prisoner was digging potatoes, and when he finished the patch I found it was gone. John Clarage—l am a surgeon. On the Bth Decem ber I examined the body of deceased. I found a wound on the top of the bead, an inch and a half long and threes inches wide, extending to, and exposing, the bone. Beneath the wound was a depression of the bone. There was also another wound. On re moving the scalp, I found an extensive frac ture, extending from the top of the head down to the right eye, tied a second depression in the forehead, with a piece of bone forced on to the brain. There was a good deal of blood between the scalps. I removed the upper part of the skull and found a quantity of blood on the brain, caused from a fracture; the brain was otherwise healthy. Those injuries, in my opinion, were sufficient to cause instant death. The body was otherwise healthy in every organ. The stick produced is in everyway calcu lated to have caused those injuries, and inflicted the wounds I saw. There would be an issue of blood from those wounds, more particularly the larger one. I saw blood on the prisoner's smock, which would probably be so, or a similar splashing, supposing the person who in fliet4cl the injury to have been behind the victim. Cross-examined—l think the wounds must have been inflicted by two blows. One wound was more superfi cial than the other, which had mashed the skull, and must have been given with ferocious violence. The de ceased's bonnet was broken; instant death must have been caused, and no great deal of blood would therefore flow from the wound. The deceased was of full grown stature for her age; the blood would splash downwards. Re-examined—The girl's bonnet had been saturated with water. I cannot swear whether the bonnet was broken by the blow or not. Ann Turvey—The deceased, when found, had the strings of her bonnet in her hand; it was off her head, and under her in the ditch; the pasteboard of it was broken, and the back part of the silk was parted from the fore part—that is, the crown was nearly torn away, and there was a quantity of blood in the crown of it. Some other witneaaae, amounting altogether i n num b er to thirty, having been ca ll e d f or th prosecution, Mr. COOKE addressed the jury with the considerable force for the prisoner, contending that he was insane, and that all his conduct, as deposed to on the trial, evidenced the fact. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up the voluminous evi dence very minutely, and intimated to th e j ur y th a t th e expressions alleged to have been used by the prisoner did not constitute a state of insanity which would render him legally exempt from the punishment accruing to the consequences of his acts. The jury, atter a quarter of an hour's deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of wilful murder. His LORDSHIP, having assumed the black cap, ad dressed the prisoner, telling him that he had been found guilty on the clearest evidence of one of the most inhu man and cold-blooded murders ever heard of, by which a young and innocent girl had met an untimely death, just as she was entering into life, as it were. He must look for mercy elsewhere, and prepare for the state into which he must shortly enter, as his time on earth would now be short. The prisoner was then sentenced to death :n the usual terms. The trial occupied nine hours. Pulley was defended through the kindness of the High Sheriff, John Dent, Esq. At Nisi Fritts a special jury cause before Mr. Baron Platt occupied the greater part of the day, and had just concluded when our report left. At present there appears no probability of the business of these assizes being concluded within the time allotted, which is generally admitted to be too short. MIDLAND CIRCUI .—Lincoln, March 9. The commission for this county and city were opened by Chief Justice Wilde, at three o'clock yesterday after noon. There were seven criminal cases for the city, which were disposed of, the Court sitting until a late hour. Two only were of a nature and of interest enough to command a report, and those aro noticed below. For the county there are nine cases, two of which are spe cial juries. The calendar contains the names of 47 pri soners, and among them are comprised the following serious offences:—Murder, 2; arson, 4; manslaughter, 1; stabbing and cutting, 1. Owing to the illness of Mr. Justice Maule, the Chief Justice presided at the Nisi. Prius Court;:Mr. White hurst, Q.C., and Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., assisting in other courts, and the causes, save an undefended one, were postponed. CRIMINAL COURT. Daniel Ormsby, aged 33, was charged with man slaughter. It appeared that in the afternoon of:the Bth of September, the prisoner, who is a butcher, was driving his cart, containing a couple of pigs, furiously, as one of the witnesses described, and at the rate of, 15 miles an hour. A child was in the middle of the road, the pri soner was shouted to, but though he attempted to pull up, he could not succeed in preventing the girl being run over, from which she sustained such serious damage as to die on the 24th of the same month. It was proved that the prisoner was a man who bore a very good cha racter, and several witnesses stated he was on his right side of road, and only going at a canter. The jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. Charles Hastings, aged 22, was charged with cutting and wounding Lydia Gresham, with intent to murder; there was a count charging the minor offence. The prosecutrix was a person with whom the prisoner cohabited, and was an individual of very loose character. It would be seen that he had entered her room under the influence of some jealous feeling, occasioned by her having been been visited by a gentleman. Having en tered the room he locked the door, but some females in the house being alarmed at cries of murder, broko open the door, and they said, " He had done for her, ho had cut her jugular." Subsequently the prisoner attempted to cut his own throat. _ _ The jury were out a considerable time ; ultimately they returned a verdict of Guilty of the intent to com mit serious damage, but acquitted him of intent to murder. Sentence deferred. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 8. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Harriet Sturdy, 29, and Rebecca Martin, 21, were in dicted, with twp other persons, for the robbery of a man named Abraham Verity, at Leeds, on the 14th Novem ber last. It appeared that the prosecutor, a shoemaker in Leeds, in going homewards, was accosted by a girl, who took him into a house in George's- street, sa3itig that her hus band was there, and wished to see him. Immediately, however, on his entering the house, the prisoner turned the key in the lock of the door. As prosecutor was en tering the house, two other women haul also come in, and thus he became locked up with Sturdy, Martin, and two other women. The whole four surrounded him, Sturdy standing over him with a fire-poker in her hand while two of the women held him, and the fourth rifled his pockets of a purse, containing a half-sovereign in gold. three pounds ten shillings in silver, and a gentle man's gold ring. The door was then opened, and the woman who had obtained the purse ran off with it. When the prosecutor attempted to fellow her, the three others prevented his doing so. Soon eer this he got away, arid gave immediate information to the police, with whom he returned to the house, and finding Sturdy there, she was at once given into custody. The other prisoner was apprehended about a quarter of an hour later. The jury convicted Sturdy, but acquitted Martin, and The Learned JUDGE sentenced the former to be trans ported for 10 years. James Josh. Jones was indicted for arson, at Miming- [PRICE SD. ton, in. February, and setting fire to a stable, the pro perty of Thomas Moore. Mr. Moore said he had a thatched stable at Minning ton, in the North Riding. On the 15th of February it was burst down. It appeared from the e►idence that the prisoner was seen within half a mile of the place just be fore the fire. The jury found him Guilty, and His : 1 1 - JortnsurP directed him to be brought up to be sentenced tomorrow. Wm.. Grenthend, aged 40, and Thomas Johnson, 40, were indicted for night-poaching, at Aldborough, in the North Riding, on the lands of Richard Bassett Wilson, Esq., I wing armed with guns and bludgeons on the night of the 37th December last. The three watchers of Mr. Wilson were out in a plan tation, • when', they heard the reports of air-guns and pheasa ats fly away, and men rushing among the trees and branches breaking off the trees. Presently three men cAme through the hedge, and one of the watchers rushed 'Ton them, on which the prisoner Johnson, who had a cried " Stand back." However, the watcher rushed in, and they both came to the ground, and were up and down several times. Johnson then struck the watcher several times with the air-gun and cut his head. Grenthend was fighting with another watcher, but even tually the prisoners were overpowered. They were found Guilty, and the prisoner Johnson was charged on another indictment for wounding one of the watchers, but no evidence was offered on it, and so he was acquitted on that indictment. His LORDSHIP sentenced them to be imprisoned, with hard labour, for a year. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOYTH, MARCH 9.—The Echo steam-tug will embark the depot of the 42d Highlanders on Monday, at Gosport, for Cowe=, en route to Parkhurst. Commander Thomas Bourmaster Brown died at Has ler Hospital, on Wednesday morning, the 21st ult., after a long and lingering illness, deeply regretted by many sincere friends, at the early age of 42. He was a Lieutenant of 1828, and commander of 1841, and was in command of the Snake when she was wrecked and totally lost in the Mozamhique Channel, in September 1848. His arduous services in this vessel, and the pri vations he suffered at the time of her wreck, being at the time very ill, brought on a paralysis of the lower limbs, from which he never recovered. When he came to England he was sent to Hasler, and has never left it since but once, and that was to attend the court-martial on tho officers and crew of the Snake, for the loss of that vessel. Commander Brown leaves a wife and young family to deplore his early death. 4 This makes the second son Vice-Admiral Brown has lost in the service. Lieut. Seymour York Brown died some time back from disease contracted in his services in China. Tho Janus steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Powell, was warped alongside the jetty this morning, the Rodney being previously hauled off to make room for her.

She sailed in the afternoon for Ply mouth, where sbe is to wait for dispatches before sailing finally to Gibraltar. Tha Sappho, 12, Commander R. C. Michell, got under weigh at sunset last night, and proceeded to St. Helen's, where she anchored for the night. She sailed this after noon for the North America and West India station. The Electra, 14, Commander F. W. P. Bouverie, was paid off into ordinary this afternoon. The Phoenix screw steam-sloop was taken out this morning under the superintendence of Captain H. T. Austin, C. 8., of the Blenheim, to try her speed on the measured mile in Stoke's Bay. She was obliged to be brought in at one P.M., having broken her screw, part of which fell overboard in Stoke's Bay. Her performance was anything but satisfactory.

WOOLWICH, MARCH 9.—The Gladiator steam vessel, 430 horse power, Captain John Robb, has all her rig ging taken down and her stores deposited on shore, and was removed to-day to the moorings formerly occupied by the Charger coal-depot, preparatory to being paid off to-morrow. A vessel of 239 tons burden, the Isabella Sarah, of Newcastle, Alexander Watson, master, laden with dry goods, during her progress up the river to-day, in charge of a waterman pilot, missed stays when opposite the dockyard, and ran in towards the wharf wall of the basin, breaking the jib•boom of the Lightning steam-vessel, and then striking the Charger coal-depot, lying along side the w harf wall for repairs, making a large hole in her stern, breaking the bulwarks over the cabin windows, and the companion ladder, and cables with which the charger was moored. The strong cables of the blocks used in connexion with the shears were broken in several places, and the Isabella Sarah was held fast by becom ing entangled with the other cables attached to the shears. The injuries sustained by the Isabella Sarah must be considerable, her jib-boom being broken, and the bolts holding her bowsprit greatly bent, the whole of the bulwarks at her bows broken to fragments, the stock of one of her anchors broken into two pieces, and her principal anchor, which was swinging at the time she ran against the wharf wall, has every pp pcaranco of having one of its flukes imbedded in her bows, as the exertions of several men with pullies could not move it from its position. The brig was making water fast, and the pumps kept continually at work. Mr. Bellamy, maste r - atten d ant, was promptly on the spo t , and very considerately allowed the master of the vessel to swing her r oun d a l ongs id e t h e w h a rf as her anchors did not either o f th em appear to be service ablemamr. state, and he at th e sam e time recommended Watson to hire a t ug , an d take her upther and into som e d oc k as the best means of savingive river the t ca o r n g e o e . , station for to a r dm re i s r e ab rv ly e itelatmisvienssceoisnatetmoprieaetniohnititioe. have a They will to proceed to sea at a moment s no situated for the protection of ,thertiieveerw, h a e n n d t w he il i l r b s e er r v e i a c d4 , are required.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI- NEERS. On Tuesday, March 6 (Joshua Field, Esq., President, in the chair), the discussion en Mr. Braidwood's paper " On Fireproof Buildings" was renewed, and extended to such a length as to preclude the reading of any paper. It was urged that the intention of Mr. Fairbairrea paper, and that of Mr. Braidwood, had been somewhat misunderstood ; the former had for object the description of defects in the construction of fire. proof buildings for supporting heavy weights of machinery, &c.; and the latter, leaving untouched the question of construction, viewed the effects of fire upon metal beams in fireproof buildings. These were widely different questions. The consideration of what was the actual loss of strength of cast-iron under different degrees of eleva tion of temperature, was of vital importance. It ap peared, from the evidence of Fairbairn's and Hodgkin son's experiments, that there was very little diffe rence of strength between iron, at a temperature below the freezing point, and when raised to nearly six hundred degrees Fahrenheit. When, however, cast-iron columns and beams were practically subjected to the draught or current of air, of a tremendous fire, in an ex tensive warehouse filled with combustible goods, and at the same time receiving large quantities of water from the engines, they must fail, either by melting or crushing. It appeared, that all the means of arresting fires gene rally failed, when there was a large area on fire, and that the only effective means of prevention would be, to have smaller and detached warehouses, or separating walls within the larger storehouses, but, inasmuch, a s this was a very expensive mode of building, and the land where warehouses were required was very costly, it became entirely a mercantile question, it was better to lay out a large capital in making a building perfectly fireproof, and providing such means. as were in use in a mill at Oldham, for deluging the rooms, on an alarm of fire, or pay an insurance and incur a certain amount of risk. '1 hat the risk of fire in dwelling-houses was not very great, appeared to be admitted, by the small rate of in surance demanded—generally from eighteen-pence to two shillings per cent., upon which the Government charged three shillings additional for stamps—certainly the lion's share—without bearing any of the risk. It was shown, that the - system of constructing mills, containing machinery, with iron beams and brick arches, was as much for the purpose of avoiding the tremulous movement imparted by wooden beams and floors, as for avoiding the risk of fire ; for such were the precautions and care in the mills, that very few were de stroyed by fire. It was suggested, that bricks might be made expressly of the proper form to surround the slight iron columns used in buildings, and thus completely pro tect them from any injury from fire. Phillip's system of extinguishing fires, by means of carbonic acid and steam, w as mentioned ; and it ap-. peered, that it was excellent for isolated houses in the country ; for use in the hold of a ship, or any room; to arrest a fire at the commencement, without injury to the furniture, &c.; but that it could not be rendered so useful as water, in preventing the extension of fires to adjoining buildings. This interesting discussion was interrupted by the monthly ballot, when the following candidates were elected :—G. Meredith, A. H. Bampton, W. P. Strut/ T. C. Watson, W. Scamp, 11. Maudslay, J. W. Leather, and I. Coode, as Members ; Lieut. Col. J. A Lloyd, R.E., Captain Sir E. Belcher, RN., C. B. Lane, H. G. Robinson, T. Gibbins, G. A. Biddell, I. N., Warren, C. P. Roney, C. L. A.

It was neither injured by the winter, nor has it been brought too much forward by the early spring. The sharp frosts that have pre vailed almost nightly for some time Fast have been salu tary by keeping vegetation in check, and have thus diminished the liability to injure at a more advanced period. The seed-time for the sowing of spring cor n has also been very favourable. We have had slight falls of snow for the last two days.—Leeds Mercury.
