BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car nlinative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISIIER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibitioa the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spssins, flatulency, pain, aid sense of oppressbm after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property.

Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other gllPPos , ng them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Sater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cosaprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ant broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness ant social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

(Before Vice Chancellor KNIGUT Baum) THE ROYAL ETCHINGS. PRINCE ALBERT U. STRANGE —THE ATTJRNET GENERAL V. STRANGE. This cause and information stood on the paper to day for hearing. On their being called on, 'lke SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the case came before the Court upon a cause and information, which it would be unnecessary for him to open in detail. The Court would doubtless recollect the facts of the case as they were detailed before it upon two motions, in which the Court granted injunctions which were afterwards affirmed by the Lord Chancellor upon appeal. The cause now came on for hearing, and all he proposed to ask the Court to do was to grant a perpetual injunction against all the defendants to the effect of the temporary injunction that had already been granted upon the hearing of the motions, and also to ask for the delivery up of the cata logues for the purpose of having them destroyed, and also the delivery up of the etchings for a similar purpose by the defendant Judge. The title of the plaintiffs was shown by the admission in the answer of the defendants to the etchings and en graving; and the fact was also proved that the etchings had been improperly obtained. Ile apprehended that it would not be proper on his part to go into the facts of the case in detail, until he knew what course his Learned Friends, who appeared for the defendant, intended to pursue. With respect to the costs, Mr. Judge had thought fit, since the hearing of the motion to obtain an order to allow him to defend in forma pauperis, so that with respect to him ho could only ask for the costs up to the date of that order. As to Mr. Strange, he was incli ne d to t hi n k be might have been misled by the representations that had been made to him, and he should not therefore be disposed to ask for a hostile decree with respect to costs against him, though he felt bound to call the atten tion of the Court to the fact that on the hearing of the motion it was offered that all proceedings should be stayed upon the defendant's giving u p the etchings and engravings. Mr. J. Russicer, stated that he appeared for Mr. Strange, and considering the liberal way in which it was proposed to take the decree against him he should certainly be inclined to advise him to accept it, but if neither Mr. Strange or his solicitor were present, perhaps the Solicitor-General would allow the matter to stand over till he had consulted with him. He should certainly advise Mr. Strange to take the decree, but he had then no instructions upon the subject. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was willing to adopt that course, but it must be understood there was no com promise. Mr. S. SMITH appeared for the defendant Judge, and to some part of the decree proposed he bed great objec tions. He objected to that part with respect to the de livery up of the etchings, and also with respect to the costs. Under these circumstances, he thought it would be better for the Solicitor-General to read the evidence, and go into the case in the regular way, M r. Judge, however, did not intend to go on with the exhi bitions, and, therefore, he did not object to that part of the decree. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL wa s willin g to adopt that course. The Learned Gent leman then Went into a statement of the facts of the case, the whole of which we gave in detail both on the occasion_ of the inj unct i on h of the Court a b n ei d n alsothe Lord _ Chancellor. Th e Learned Gentleman concluded by asking for thed ecree being appliedthe appealfor to to this branch before stated. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was proceeding t o ree d t h e evidence, when Mr. J. RUSSELL stated that Mr. Strange's son was now in court, and he had authorised him to state thtt his father would consent most willingly to the decret that the Illustrious Plaintiff suggested, considering tint the offer was a most liberal one. Mr. WARREN, who was also counsel for Mr. Stange, observed that the words used by his Learned Frienl the Solicitor-General, with respect to Mr. Strange, that h e might have been misled, was extremely handsome and generous on the part of the Crown. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then proceeded to rest the evidence. Mr. S. SMITH objected to the reading of it, on the ground that it was nut entitled in the proper suit. The VICE. CHANCELLOR overruled the objection. Mr. Sergeant TALFOORD then continued to read the evidence, and also the answer of Judge, which wasnot filed when the motion for the injunction was made. In that answer Judge admitted that he had obtahed the impressions from a workman of Mr. Brown's, 'ho sold them to him as spoiled or dirty impressions. Mr. S. SMITH then proceeded to address the Courton behalf of Judge. His client had no wish to shelter hin self under anything except the bare facts of the cake. Lie was sorry that his Learned Friend the Solicitor- General h a d pursued a different 00111.30 towards lis client to that which he adopted with respect to the other defendant. Mr. Judge was anxious to con vince the Court that ho had obtained the etchings by no corrupt or improper means. As to publishing or exhibiting the engravings, his client did not in tend to do so, and, therefore, he had no objec tion to that part of the decree. Ho did not object to being prevented from disposing of the engraving or etchings. Neither did he object to being prevented from publishing the catalogue in its present form ; that was, that it was pub lished wider' authority, but he submitted that he was entitled to retain pDssession of the etchings, and what he desired was to have the opinion of a jury whether the etchings he had were his pro perty or that of the plaintiffs. He also contended that he was not bound to deliver up the catalogue be had and that he was not precluded from publishing it if he left out the insignia that he published it by authority. The Learned Gentlemen then proceeded to read evidence to show that Judge had not improperly or unwarrantably obtained the etchings, that he had bought them from a man named Middleton, in Mr. Brown's employ for 51., as spoiled or dirty copies. The Learned Gentleman had, not concluded his argu ments when the Court rose. The further arguments will be proceeded with to morrow. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, June 1. (Before the CHIEF COM)IISSIONER.) IN RE HENRY DOURCHIER. The insolvent, a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy, came up for his discharge. Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Dowse supported, Mr. Cooke and Mr. Hughes opposed. This was the third appearance of the insolvent in this Court. On the last occasion, in April, 1846, when his income was 2001. per year, the Court ordered a sum of 401. per year to be set apart for the purpose of liquidat ing his debts. On the present occasion his debts, con tracted piece that period, exceed 1,400/. After some investigation, of no public interest, Mr. Cooke applied that the sum of 1964 might' be now set apart for the liquidation of these debts. Since 1846 the Admiral had attained to higher rank, and his net income was now 3961. per annum. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whe ther he was willing to accede to the proposal? The insolvent replied that he would remain in prison all his life first; it would be impossible for him to live. He was willing to give up 25/.,per year. Mr. Nrcnom.s examined the insolvent, who stated that Mrs. Bourchier was in a state of ill health, that required much medical aid. He was also under a lia bility to support his son until he should obtain a com mission. The Learned Counsel then submitted that the application of the creditors was not a reasonable one. The station in life of the admiral was such as to require a corresponding income, and the small sum of 2001. per year would be wholly inadequate. If it were assented to, the consequence must be, that the Admiral would again be under the necessity of coming to this Court at the cost of other creditors. He doubted also whether, if it were assented to, the Admiralty would allow the order to be acted upon. Mr. COOKE submitted that the insolvent's creditors had higher claims upon him than his station. His schedule showed that he bud been living a life of luxury and extravagance at their expense. If they failed to pay for the goods which they had trusted him with, they would be thrown into prison, and be left with no income of 2001. per year for their future support. The insolvent being again appealed to by the Court, said he had no further offer to make, but be was willing to consent to set apart any sum that the Commissioner considered the circumstances of the case required. His HONOUR said that the duty thus imposed upon him was a very unpleasant one; and after commenting upon the circumstances, said he would leave the Court for five minutes, in order to give the insolvent an oppor tunity to consider the propriety of making a different proposal. On his return the insolvent said he would set apart 601. per year. Mr. COOKE said that had the offer been double that sum, he might have ventured to say that the creditors would have been liberal and considerate, and have ac cepted it. His HONOUR said that the most graceful thing a man of station or rank could at all times, and under all cir circumstances do, was to pay his debts, and, if neces sary practice self•denial. The opinion of the world, whether a man maintained an appearance or not in ac cordance with his rank, was, after all, of but little value in comparison with that; and it it were not so, he be lieved that a man should at all times show that he was desirous of doing all that lay in his power to discharge his obligations. In the absence of that offer having been made, he should order the insolvent to be discharged, on enterir.g into an undertaking to set apart 1001. per year in liquidation of his debts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Cuthc,lnc Burniester,who was stab d to be the wife of a resp c:able man, was brought before Alderman Wil son upon suspicion of having assisted in robbing Thomas Morten, a poor fellow who had just arrived in London for the purpose of going out in an emigrant ship, of 14 sovereigns-- -- The complainant, it appeared, from the very confused and complicated account given of the affair, had arrived at London-bridge by a steamer from Yarmouth, on Monday morning, and employed a porter, who lived with the prisoner, to take his luggage to the London Docks. from which the emigrant ship in which he was to sail was to receive passengers. The luggage was accord ingly deposited at the appointed place, and the com plainant went, upon the invitation of the porter, to dine at the prisoner's house, where he was gratified with large potations of gin and other liquors, and became so much intoxicated, or stupified, as to be wholly incapable of taking care of his money or himself, and after having cabbed about with the prisoner and two men who were known to her, he finally found himself drenched with rain lying in the street, and stripped of every farthing. Alderman WILSON pursued the investigation with the most scrupulous care, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the complainant had not been drugged into the incapability which he endeavoured to describe, but it was quite evident that the unfortunate fellow had "gone the whole hog" in drink, and had tried the strength of his stomach with brandy and beer, as well as gin. The prisoner had been in and out of the cab with him more than once while her friends were on the box, and at last she left him altogether, but how or where he was deprived of his property he could give no account whatever. . _ T ticket-porter stated that he saw the complainant on board the Yarmouth vessel upon her arrival, and asked him eliethcr he wished to have his luggage conveyed to any pl.ce; to which he replied that he should employ any perso❑ he fancied to do that job for him, at the same time rijecting the caution given to him as to the necessity of selecting a responsible porter. Witness then went away, leaving the complainant with the porter whom he engaged to perform the work, and who was a mere jobber about Thames-street, without a license. Many complaints were made by ignorant strangers of the difficulties in which they were placed by hiring men of this description to take care of their pro perty or of themselves. The complainant, in answer to the inquiries of Alder man WILSON, said he had a wile and five children in Yarmouth, for whom it was his intention to send when he should have earned as much abroad as would pay for their passage; and he had put together with vast pains and with the assistance of his friends, the 14 sovereigns of which he had been robbed, to clear the way, by im mediate emigration, for the support of his family. The prisoner said she had endeavoured, at her house as well as elsewhere, to prevent the complainant from drinking, but ho was not to be denied; and he not only finished a bottle of brandy which he had brought ashore, but he stowed away gin without measure. She ad mitted that she had got into the cab with him, but then her object was to see him safe to the London Docks, where ho was to take ship, and finding that ho was not disposed to go there, she quitted him; after which she knew not what became of him. It was unfortunate for her that she had received him into her house at all; for when she met the porter who had been employed by him she was treated with a sound drubbing for having left him, and the consequence was that th• man who threshed her was taken into custody by a policeman, conveyed before a magistrate at the other side of the water, and sentenced to imprisonment in Horsemonger lane Gaol, although she expressed her unwillingness to bring any charge. Alderman WiLsost asked the complainant whether he had been in London before? and, having learned that he was by no means a stranger to the great metropolis or the tricks practised in it, told him that the party principally to blame was himself, who had intrusted his goods to a person upon whom he knew there was no check, and had indulged in drink at the very time there was most need for the exercise of abstemiousness. It was to be regretted that the power of resorting to the chances which emigration held out was thus defeated ; but all that a magistrate could do in such a case was to advise the unfortunate man to return to Yarmouth, and work until he should raise 141, more; and then try his fortune abroad, benefited by the lesson derived from his present calamity. The Complainant —I have not one farthing in the world. - - Alderman WILSON—You shall have the means of re (limning ycur goods from the docks and rturning home; and I hope this will operate as a warning to other emi grants to take core what unlicensed porters they employ. The prisoner was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STRE ET. John TiNslty a groom, was brought before Mr, liard wick, charged Count Batthyany with having rubbed • 'Jibed him of a of we a ring apparel and other property. Count Batthyany statrd that the prisoner bad been his servant, but had absconded on the lst of April. About a week previously witness had written to the prisoner to pack up all the property that was in his apartments, and send it per railway to Brighton. On his arrival in town lie found that only a portion of the property was packed and ho gave orders to the prisoner to finish the pack ing the remainder without further delay. From the pri soner's dilatory manner witness was induced to entertain suspicions, And on missing a coat with Lord Egliaton's button on it, he asked the prisoner about it. The pri soner said witness had given the coat away, but he (wit ness) replied that was not likely, as he knew Lord Eg- Eaton's objection to have his button seen in Holywell street, where the coat would no doubt find its way. Wit ness then hiving missed several more coats, and also three or f. ur waistcoats, and as many p a i rs of trousers, he asked the prisoner where they were? The prisoner pretended be bad heard that the landlord was about to have an execution put in his bous . e, and that ho had therefore removed the missing articles to his on n lodgings in Robert-street. Witness reproved the pri soner for removing any thing without leave, and after the boxes which were packed were placed on a cart and sent off to the railway, the prisoner went out for the purpose, as he said, of fetching the property f rem his lodgings. The prisoner never returned, and witness did nor again see him until he was in the bands of the police. When witness got back to Brighton ho examined the packages, and he missed more property, amongst which was a coral shirt pin. Witness had also discovered that the prisoner had embezzled money, which he had re ceived for the purpose of paying small tradesmen's bills. Police constable Godfrey, 147 C, said he apprehended the prisoner. The prisoner told him he had gone into the park with the intention of destroying himself, but the bottle containing the poison accidentally became broken, and he was obliged to postpone his determina tion. Witness searched the prisoner, and found some duplicates which related to his master's property, and also a coral pin, which was 'identified by his master. Witness also found a paper containing oxalic acid on the prisoner's person. The prisoner, who appeared to be in a very despond ing way, was remanded. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

With the exception of 11,462 qua►ters of Indian corn and 3,212 barrels of flour, the exports in the same time have been unimportant. Notwithstanding the small ar rivals, Indian corn has not been in so brisk demand, and Fri day's prices were barely supported. In other articles tl ere has been little doing, and no new feature worthy of remark has occurred. The weather bas been fine, with occasional showers, and all account; agree as to the general satisfactory appear ance of the growing crops. At this day's market the attend ance of the country dealers was unusually small, and, in the few transactions reported in wheat and flour, buyers had slightly the advantage. Oats were quite neglected. Oatmeal, with a slow sale, was 3d to 6d per load lower. In barley, beans, and peas, there was little doing, and no change in value to report. Only a limited inquiry was experienced for Indian corn, and 37s per quarter must be quoted the top price of prime yellow. NEWBUItY, NiX al.—The supply of wheat to-day is a 'ALB. [PRICE SD. WESTMINSTER. The person styling himself Colonel Count Dembicki, who was charged at this Court on Monday with going about to obtain charitable contributions under fraudu lent representations, the particulars of which were de tailed in our paper of the following day, was brought up for re examination. The accused was attired, as on the previous occasion, , in a sort of undress blite. uniform, and wore some orders ;n one of his button-holes. Police-constable Itoper;hiriingrelielited his testimony given on the former examination, stated that the signa tures of the Russian, French, and Belgian Ministers on the subscription lists found in the prisoner's possession, with the sums (which varied in amount on the different papers) opposite their names were fraudulent: they bad neither placed their names there, nor subscribed in any way. Lieutenant Szulciewski, the secretary to the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, and Horsford, the chief officer of the Mendicity Society, completed the account of the prisoner's character. Lieutenant Szulciew ski said, that all that could be ascertained from the result of the most diligent inquiry was, that the pri soner was an ancient forest keeper—and had he ever served, as be had represented, in the army, there of course would be many who could prove it. He had tra velled through Rome, Italy, and Spain as an impostor, and last year, availing himself of the state of that coun try, went to France, but on the restoration of order he was expelled again. The rank he then assumed was r that of a colonel. Hors'ord stated that he had known the prisoner between eight and nine years as a gross impostor. He apprehended him with a woman in 1845, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, where they were soliciting charitable contributions. The lady called her self a countess, and, at any rate, was the prisoner's countess at that time. Mr. BURRELL said that the case was clearly made out against the prisoner, and committed him for three months to hard labour. It was stated that amongst other false representations made by the prisoner in the course of his frequent de ceptions, was one that he was brother to the late King of Poland. Several newspaper reports were produced of the examinations of the prisoner and his wife at the various police-courts, and an extract, printed in the shape of a handbill, of the examination at Marlborough street Police-court. WORSHIP-STREET. Timothy Leary, a powerful Irishman, was brought up before Mr. Arnold, charged with the following brutal and unprovoked outrage upon a journeyman shoemaker, named Thompson, living in Little Wentworth -street, Whitec - hapel, and also with seriously injuring Ante Thompson, his wife. The wife, whose head was partially covered with ban dages, stated, that while in bed with her husband at three , o'clock that morning, sbe was roused from her sleep by a noise on the stairs, and immediately afterwards the prisoner, accompanied by three or four other men, burst in the door, and rushing into the room, advanced to the bed where she was lying, from the side of which he seized a heavy stool, and, without the slightest observa tion or reason for such conduct, dealt her a violent blow on the head with it, inflicting an extensive ga-1, from which the blood poured in a stream down her neck. This was instantly followed by a second blow over the eyes with the prisoner's fist, and would have been suc ceeded by further ill-usage but for the interposition of her hu:band, upon whom the assailants then proceeded .to wreak their vengeance, and the witness ran down into the street, where she was screaming for assist ance, when all the nit n rushed past her and escaped. A constable, however, shortly after came up. and, from the description she furnished him of the men who had com mitted the outrage, he took her at once to an alley in the neigh bourhood, called Mulberry-court,where the prisoner and two other men were standing, and she immediately identified the former as the man who had assaulted her, and gave him into custody. The injuries both she and her husband had sustained were of so serious a character that they were obliged to be conveyed to the London Hospital to have their wounds dressed, and she had suf fered the most acute pain ever since. Benjamin Thompson, the husband, whose face was shockingly disfigured with contusions, and whose upper lip was cut completely through, stated that upon seeing his wife struck with the stool, he leaped out of bed to her assistance, and was met by the prisoner, who had a file in his hand without a handle, with the sharp end of which he made a blow at his face, and the tail of the file cut through his lip and pene trated the flesh of his mouth. At the same moment another man struck at him with a knife and on witness attempting to ward off the blow with his arm the blade decended upon his band, and cut a piece out of one of his fingers ; while another man, whom he believed to be the prisoner, jobbed some sharp instrument into the back of his head, inflicting a deep wound, from which the blood flowed down his back. The whole of the men then commenced an indiscriminate attack upon him, beating him furiously about the head and face with their fists, until he was reduced to the condition in which he then was, when they appeared to have become alarmed by the screams of his wife in the street, and the whole of them ran out of the house. The prosecutor added that he was wholly at a loss to account for the brutal attack which had been made upon him, as he had never before even spoken to the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to him, was not aware that he bad ever offended any of the other men, and could only imagine that they had been hired to ill-treat him by some one else who en tertained malice against him. Bolton, a constable of the H division, stated, that upon hearing the cries of " Murder," he ran to the spot, and found the wife of the prosecutor standing un dressed at the door and bleeding fearfully from a wound in her head. Upon her pointing out the prisoner as the man who had attacked her, the prisoner denied that he had been near the house at all, swore that he would not be taken, and, flinging himself upon the ground, fought so desperately, that it was only with the greatest diffi culty that he, and a cumber of other constables, could overpower and get him to the station. The prisoner protested his innocence, declaring that the prosecutor and his wife were entirely mistaken in his identification; hut Mr. ARNOLD, w ho considered it a gross and lawless outrage, ordered the prisoner to be remanded for a week fcr the completion of the evidence against him, and di rected the police to make unremitting exertions in secur ing the other men who had aided him in the commission of the offence. GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—The ladies pa tronesses of this ball met in committee on Thursday at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of making preparatory arrangements. The Duchess of Roxburgh, the Coun tess of Kinnoull, the Countess of Morton, the Countess of Camperdown, the Countess of Seafield, the Countess de Flahault, Lady Willoughby de Eresby, Lady Anne Mackenzie, the Baroness Stratheden, Hon. Mrs. Hoath cote, and the lion. Mrs. Ferguson (of Pitfour), were among the ladies present. The chief business of the meeting was the arrangement of several fancy quadrilles, in which large parties of the junior branches of the aris tocracy will t a k e p ar t. H err S trauss is engaged to t tend with his full orchestra, and a very brilliant ball is anticipated. The Duchess of Somerset, whose activ e hcaos operation in this, as in many other works of chari ty, the been of such essential service on formert.occtasosionst in ,is un fortunately prevented from taking any active part he recent de arrangements for the present ball, owing her Grace's lamented mother,o t h e Dowager Lady of w Stewart. dySba IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITP.— The alterations which have been ordered for the new street, ee , commencinglteratn ios at Cannon- s t ree t, a re rap i dly advan cin g. Clthe immense mass of Within the last few days nearly the whole o f houses, bounded respecti vely by oak -1 ane Little St. Thomas the Apostle, and Queen-street, have been re moved, as we.l as a large cluster between Dowgate-hill and Watling. street. The old burial ground of St. J o h n the Baptist and St. John Zachary is covered with vast piles of rubbish, and will, when cleared, form a portion of the new street. Immediately the m a t er i a l s of the houses already demolished shall have been removed, the workmen will proceed with the new thoroughfare in its advance towards St. Paul's. SHORT PARLIAMENTS.._.. A Bill has been brought into the House of Commons, in accordance with the recent vote of that Ass e mbl y , f or shortening the du ration of Parliaments. It is prepared by Mr. Tenny son D'Eyncourt and Lord Dudley C. Stuart, the Mem bers for Lambeth and Marylebone. Clause 1 repeals the Act of Ist George 1., cap. 38 (second statute); and clause 2 enacts that henceforth this present and all future Parliaments shall and may respectively have continuance for years, and no longer, to be ac counted from the day on which the then Parliament was summoned to mee t by wr it, un l ess sooner dis solved by her Majesty, her heirs, and successors. The blank speck will be filled up in Committee, as the House may determine, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Another anniversary of the " glorious" First of June, 1794, affords us an opportunity of once more congratulat ing the surviving heroes of that great event on the services they that day rendered to their country. Death, we lament to say, has thinned their ranks since the last anniversary; and now among the lists of the navy we can only muster the following officers:— Admirals—Sir E. Codrington, G.C.8., T. Merchant Gosselin (who commanded the Kingfisher, and the only surviving officer who bad a separate command in the action), Sir John West, K. C. 8., J. Cochet, H. R. Winn, Sir G. E. Hamond, Bart., K.C.8., Sir C. Adam, K.C.B. Vice-Admirals—Sir Edward D. King, K C.H., Sir W. Parker, Bart., G.C.8., M. Buckle, Sir C. Bullen, K.C.8., W. B. Tremlett, Lord W. Fitzroy, K.C.8., Sir C. Richardson, K C. 8., Sir F. Meson, K.C.B. R ear - Admirals —Edward Betsey, C. S. J. Hawlayne, Sir W. IL Dillon, C. 8., W. F. Owen. Retired Rear-Admirals —Sir F. Beaufort, G. Morris, F. A. Down, 11. F. Davies. Captains—W. Black, C. Strachey, R. Ramsay, T. Renwick, Sir C. T. Jones, S. Burgess, llindmarsh, Lord Digby Middleton, J. M. Farland. Commanders—C.. Bayley, R. Lowthian, J. S 3 kes, J. Barrell, W. H. Dickson, J. Nugent, G. N. Tremlett, T. Consitt, T. Smith, D. Fernandes. Lieutenant—J. Stone. Paymaster and Pursers—Simon Little, 11. Wells, S, Giles. Royal Marines—General George Jones. To the above, however, we have again the gratifica tion of adding the name of that brave and gallant, but now venerable, seaman (William Burke) who nailed the noble Commander•in-Chief's flag to the mast of the Queen Charlotte, amidst the crashing turmoil of the battle. In this gallant action no less than 52 line of battle ships were engaged, the number on each side being the lame; but the disparity of force was as 17,241 Engliah to 19,987 French, and the broadsides of the British 1,087 guns to 1,107 French. The loss on our side was 290 killed, and 858 wounded ; but the entire lose of the French was never ascertained, although in the six French ships captured it was no less than 690 killed, and 598 wounded. Rear Admiral Manly Dixon, the commander-in-chief at Cork, will most likely have Lieut. W. A. Manton (1844) as his flag-lieutenant pro tern. Lieutenant Charles H. - May (1843), and Thomas Tickell (1842), have been appointed to study at-the steam factory at Woolwich. Mr. Lang, of Woolwich 'dockyard, and Mr. Edye, of Devonport dockyard, master shipwrights, are ordered to Portsmouth on _the 11th instant, to be present at the examinations of candidates for the promotion of assistant master ihipwriglits. The success, old line-of-battle ship, at Portsmouth, and the Meteor, at Sheerness, are ordered to be broken up at these ports. The Niger and Basilisk, steam-sloops, have left Devon port for their ten days' trial steamings and sailiegs in the Channel. The course of experiments with these vessels is of the most important and interesting character. The Sphynx, steam-sloop, Commander Hewlett, left Deal on Thursday for the westward. The Reynard, steam-sloop, Commander Cracroft. is in the stream ready for sea. She will go out of Ports mouth harbour to-day, and will proceed to Plymouth, to take on board the mail for the coast of Africa, and sails with it on the sth inst. From St. Helena she goes on to the East Indies, and relieves the Inflexible. The Apollo, troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, has bent sails and fidded her topgallant masts. She will go out of Portsmouth harbour to-day, and probably sail for Cork on Sunday, to take on board the 59th Regi ment for Hong. Kong. The four pinnaces belonging to the Excellent were out of the harbour's mouth on Thursday, exercising small arms and their great guns. _ The Arrogant, 36, screw steam-frigate, Captain Fitzroy, sailed, on Thursday afternoon, from Spithead, for the Mediterranean, touching at Plymouth. The electric telegraph recently placed at the Land port terminus of the South• Western Railway, com menced operations last Wednesday; it will be a great convenience to the people of Portsmouth . The Plumper, screw•sloop, was taken into dock on Thursday, and is waiting for some part of ber machinery from Woolwich. PLYMOUTH, MAY 31.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel the Columbia was paid wages, and sailed on Monday for North America and Bermuda on a survey. The Gladiator steam-vessel arrived from Pembroke on Tuesday, and was placed at her moorings in Hamosze, with the reserve steamers. The flag-ship Hibernia, 104, Captain Charles Wise, has been some time expected here from the Mediterra nean. Her officers will not be paid off, but on arrival will be transferred to her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, which continues off the dockyard, under temporary com mand of her Master, Mr. James B. Tucker. Tho frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Thomas M. C. Sy monds, shortly expected from Gibraltar, will be paid off when she returns home. The Government convict ship Stately, Captain Gin der, with female convicts for Hobart Town, Van Die men's Land, put in here on the 24th inst. in consequence of heavy weather, and consequent sickness among the prisoners. On Sunday morning one of the cases proved fatal, and the next day an inquest was held, and a verdict returned of " Died of erysipelas." On Tuesday, Dr. William Rae, Medical Inspector of the Royal Naval Hospital, minutely examined the fittings of the Stately, and the condition of the convicts, and expressed himstlf well pleased with the internal arrangements of thee ship, , and the medical treatment of the prisoners. The Stately will probably sail cn Saturday or Sunday. CitaTnam, JUNE I.—The Castor, 36 guns, Commo• (-lore C. 11 }will, Commander Bunce, fitting fur the flag ship at the Cape of Good Hope, will not be ready to proceed to sea before the 11th instant; she is ordered to be fitted with Messrs. Brown and Barratt's patent con trol ler s. The Cleopatra, 26 guns, Captain Thomas L. Massie, towed from Chatham on the 29,h ult. by the Pigmy steam• vessel to the Nore, sails this day for Plymouth, at which pace she is now ordered to be paid in advance. This ship is fitted with a portable anchor, invented by Mr. George Costell, master-smith at this dockyard; its weight is 39 cwt. 2 qt.!. This anchor consists of two parts—the shank, the arms and palms. The parts are so I constructed that they embrace each other by means of clamps or jaws, and are firmly held together by a bolt. • Its principal dimensions are the same as the Admiralty anchor, the shank and arms are flattened to give more strength in the line of the strain, and the inner surfaces of the palms are kept straight to the proper ang l e , w hi c h w ill cause th e anc h or to nip tho ground readily, and to hold firmly, when once inserted. For the purpose of weighing or tripping the anchor the external curvature of the arms is preserved. It is very simple and strong, may be cheaply made, and easily re paired, can be fished, catted, with facility, and pos sesses all the properties of the ordinary anchor with the advantages of port a bili ty. I t i s presumed from the con struction of this anchor that under excessive straining it will be less liable to be broken at the crutch than the ordinary anchor. The angle of divergence may be somewhat increased, and still its holding properties re main unimpaired. There is no actual deflection in this anchor until the strain becomes very great. This an chor was made pursuant to an Admiralty order, 25th of February, 1848. Mr. Childs, the newly appointed store receiver from Pembroke-yard, has arrived, and commenced his duties yesterday; also, Mr. Peter Suther, surgeon, of Wool wich-yard, appointed to this yard, in consequence of the death of Dr. Warden. Professor Moseley paid his annual visit to the appren tices at this yard, for the purpose of selecting two youths as students at the central mathematical school, at Ports mouth, and left yesterday afternoon for Shcerness Dock yard, in order to make a selection of one youth for ad mission into the same school, at Portsmouth. FRENCH AND ROMAN REPUBLICANS. ODE TO LOUIS NAPOLEON. Louis Napoleon—l won't say that he " Who drives fat oxen should himself be fat," But a Republic's I'resident shou'd bo Republican himself—l will say that. When Rome shook off her priestly yoke, What right had you to put sour spoke, I beg to ask you, in her common weal? What ground had you for interference, When of the Popo she made a clearance? Pray, who called you with her affairs to deal? The Romans may be right or wrong. I don't care which, in turning Pius out, And sending all the Cardinals along With that good Pontiff to the right about; But let them choose their form of government, And what's the odds, so long as they're content? Are you to cram down their reluctant gullets, The kind of Constitution you think best, By means of swords, and bayonets, and bullets? Against such tyranny I must protest. I really wonder you've the cheek To talk about your Republique. In dignity you merit an advance; There is a post which you are fitter far To fill tha❑ to be President of France; Instead of that you ought to be the Czar. The Roman people to coerce and menace, You send your howitzers and bombs, With Oudinot to play the modern Brennus— What of this intervention comes? Disgrace, defeat—in point of fact, Your troops got regularly whack'd.—Punch. TIIE AUSTRALIAN COLONIE6.—On Thursday was published a series of papers relative to the proposed alterations in the constitution of the Australasian colo nies, lately presented to both Houses of Parliament by the royal command. These papers occupy a space of some 45 pages. A CHINESE ARTIST ON FEMALE BEAUTT.—LuIn qua is called by Europeans the Sir Thomas Lawrence of China, and he well deserves this proud distinction, as the colouring of this artist's oil-paintings is exceed ingly flue; although his ideas of female beauty differ materially from our own. In the course of conversation we asked his opinion of an English belle then at Can ton, and the reply was completely characteristic of Chinaman's ideas of female beauty; her face is too round, she has colour in her cheeks, her eyes ate too blue, too large; she's too tall, too plump, yi-yaw; her face talks: (meaning the countenance +a+ expressive) and she has fretso large that she can walk upon them. In Lum-qua's a. eiirr we saw many portraits both of Europeans and Chinese, many of which were excellent likenesses, and although deficient in light and shade, were executed in a most masterly manner.— China and the Chinese. _ _ LEICESTER TRADE.—This being holiday week, there has been very little doing. The wool markets arc growing flat, but the prices of yarns are unaltered. The glove hands still remain on strike, and have been peram bulating the streets this week, seeking assistance from the inhabitants.—Natingliant Journal.
