ROYAL LOCIINAGAR WHISKEY, as rupplied to her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Nobility, having had immense sale since Its patronag,o by the Queen and the Prince Consort, has now been tested by the first judges, and pro nounced to be tl e finest and purest Spirit ever introduced into Eng land. Testimonials to this effect are received daily by the sole Con signees, WHITING and ROBERTS, CHURCH-STREET, MILL BANK, WESTMINSTER. This Whiskey is now to be obtained at all the first Spirit 31erohants and Dealers in town and country retail, in bottles, sealed with the Royal Arms, labelled, and the corks branded ROYAL LOCHNAGAR WHISKEY. _ _ WHITING and ROBERTS having been informed that unprinci pled persons arc offering an inferior article to the trade as the ROYAL LOCIINAGAR WHISKEY, publicly announce that by virtue of their contrast with the ROYAL LOCIINAGAIt DISTILLERY the genuine spirit cannot be obtained from any other house in London TIM NATURAL and UNNATURAL STYLE. If you wish to excel, study nature ; this is particularly appli cable in making ornamental hair, as unless the previous way of wear ing it is imitited, so complete a transformation takes place, that as. Byron says—" A mother would not kaow her son." ROSS and SONS, having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect imita tions of nature, have given the name of the Invisible Ventilating Head of hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer them to both ladies and Gentlemen, from one guinea and a half upwards. They likewise present an infallible mode of measuring, viz.:—The round of the head ; from ear to ear across the rise of the head ; from forehead to pole ; the measure to be taken with a piece of tape and a small lock of hair enclosed, a hich will be closely matched, both in colour and quality. . . . Address, ROSS and SONS, - 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London, S T. VALENTINE'S VISIT OR, A LAUGH FOR THE LADIES. I've a laughable tale for the ladies—What is It ? A story well known as St. Valentine's visit. And knowing 'tis one that the fair will discuss, I've ventured to give it. The story runs thus:— The Saintship, whose season is now near at hand, Made a call t'other day at St. Martin's-le• Gratil ; And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye, On account of the wink and the leer of his eye. St. Valentine's dress was remarkably smart, And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart. On reaching the principal Post-office pile, St. Valentine entered its doors with a smile, And thus he inquired as a servant drew near, " If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?" " Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard, "If so," said St. Valentine, "take him my card." The card and the Clanricarde very soon met, And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget. " You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John, And back came the man with the livery on. I need not describe how the gentlemen met, • You're aware that they both understand etienette. " I've called, my Lord 3lareui., and pardon me, pray, Concerning yourself and St. Valentine's day. Such thousands of love-letters then will be written, By ladies and gentlemen all over Britain, That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed, In order that business may not be impeded. Your Lordship must know (said the match-ma's ing one), That the increase Is owing to MOSES and SON. I need not inform you that love's tender passion Is often awakened by matters of fashion; Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming fire Through ft• st of all noticing STYLISH ATTIRE. Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won Ily the form•decking raiment of MOSES and SON. For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote, Who first learned to love on account of a coat ; The fit was so true, and the style was ro smart, That the fair lest her heart through MOSES' famed Mart. I knew a ease even stranger than that, Where Patty the pretty was won by A HAT. 'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the list was so natty, So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ; Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head. THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES, Which fit so exact, Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract. And many strange things I have known come to pass, With afood-looting boot and a good-looking lass. With regard to the opposite sex 'tis the same, Ladies' dress very often enkiedles the flame. MOSES' FURS, Se attractive in style to beholders, Warm gentlemen's bosoms as well as fair shoulders. Many thousands on both sides are constantly smitten, And galores of epistles are now being written." " I'm aware," said his Lordshp, " that much has been done In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON. And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say, With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's Day." Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu, And so did the Postmaster-General, too. A new work, entitled " The Treasury of Taste." containing a de ..ailed list of prices for each department, with full directions for self measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded post-free.

With practical observations on the use and abuse of instru• ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of stricture . , and- that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex terity in their use, when necessary, Is the source of most of the se vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa tally prevalent. By F. B. COURTENAY, " The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery. Published by 11.

LUCAS and CO., Surgeons, 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, continue to be DAILY CON SULTED on all diseases of the generative system, comprising syphil lis, gonerrlicea, secondary symptoms, and those deplorable disorders resulting from early indulgence and excess. Their successful treat ment being based upen upwards of thirty years' practical experience, is a guarantee for their promptitude and skill to those who are suf fering from any of these complaints, and in most cases one personal. interview only is required to ensure a sound and permanent cure. A new edition of the " Control of the PaSsions," with coloured engrav ings, price 2s. 6d., may be had at the Author's residence, 60, Newman-street Oxford-street, London. Attendance daily from Nine till Nine. A R R I A G E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the other , upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a 4ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern ., tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea It caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an romprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, mid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness tnd social content. The dowry should not be the may marriage set :lement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

That this generous spirit will spread, we cannot doubt ; and whether it be at Leith, Kirkcaldy, or Montrose, or the more northern ports of Aberdeen and Peterhead, the appearance of Lady Franklin, and the mention of her most touching cause, cannot fail to excite the same generous ardour, and we may confidently anticipate such practical results as, under Providence, may tend to dispel the dark cloud that has already nearly weighed her down, and which presses heavily on the mind of every thinking individual in the kingdom. As the whale-ships generally sail towards the close of the present month for their usual fishing-ground in Baffin's Bay, the friends and relations of the parties serving on board the Erebus, Terror, Enterprize, and Investigator, will do well to avail themselves of this opportunity of communicating with them. Letters to go by the whale-ships, on the chance of their being delivered, should be sent to the Admiralty before the 20th inst.; and as it is the known intention of Sir James Ross to send one of his ships to communicate with the whalers, the chance should not be thrown away. Letters for the Plover should be sent to the Admi ralty on or before the 15th inst., to go by the next packet to Chagres, from whence they will be sent to Panama, and conveyed by the Herald to Behring's Straits. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir, —Monday the 12th was a night of di v isions. Conclusions ran so cross, that it was difficult to find two men agreeing as to the reasons for voting in the various permutations and combinations practicable among main questions and their amendments. The Government had a large majority against the grant to Ireland being " vicious in principle," and a consi derably smaller for the grant itself. Why those who finally voted against the grant, refused to vote it " vicious, " it is not easy to collect. Lord ugent's promised amendment for the dimi nution of the duration of the Habeas Corpus Sus pension in Ireland, was put off till the third reading on Friday. The delay may give time for strength to gather about an opportunity of doing good. On Tuesday a quantity of routine business was got through, in a very thin House. On Lord Ber nard complaining of the influence exercised on voters in the poll-booths by the Irish priesthood, Mr. John O'Connell proposed that he should join in procuring the protection or the - Ballot; which obtained from quarter to Iniarime,thseir, your oseu ad oob j so o dE u i e r n To edt servant,T.iio m p then Noble Lord'.-no promis eof -cto ! operation; At -*- London, Feb.

In consequence of the appointment of Major-Generals Hay and Wood to the vacant regiments ' the monies granted to those o ffi cers as rewards for distinguished services will revert to the disposal of his Grace the Com mander-in-Chief, and their names will also be removed from the list of general officers in receipt of the Unat tached pay of 1/. ss. a day. The retirement of Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton, G.C.8., from the important situation of Lord High Com missioner and Commander of her Majesty's troops in the lonian Islands, is again currently reported; in the event of which, it is supposed Lord Grey will bend a civilian out to direct the Government, and that 'Major. General Conyers, C. 8., will remain as commander of the forces in those islands. General Conyers succeeded his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge as Colonel of the Staff at Corfu, and was permitted to remain in that capacity after bis promotion to the rank of Major-General, as was the case with Sir George Berkeley, K.C.8., who assumed the chief command.of the troops upon the arrival of Mr. Stewart Mackenzie as the Lord High Commissioner, in succession to Lieutenant-General Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., G.C.B. WOOLWICH, FEB. 12. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Captain Cheetham's company, 11th battalion, assembled at ten o'clock to-day on the guard-mounting parade, in heavy marching order, for the Commandant's inspection. The company will em bark at Roff's-wharf to-morrow for conveyance to the Nine Elms station, and proceed by railway to Ports mouth, to relieve Major Lethbridge's company, sth bat talion, the latter being the seventh on the roster for foreign service. Three non-commissioned officers and twenty gunners of Captain Beresford's company, 10th battalion, arrived at head-quarters at Woolwich, on Saturday, from Dover, to take over the stores, &c., of Major• Griffin's company, at present doing field battery duty, Captain Beresford's company being ordered up from Dover to go through a course of field battery exercises. Captain Btrchanan's company, 11th battalion, proceeds on Wednesday to Dover, to relieve Captain Beresford's company from that station. . Captain Marriott's company, 11th battalion, proceeds from head-quarters at Woolwich to Chatham on Thurs day, to relieve Captain Crawford's company, 10th bat talion, under orders to return to head-quarters to go through a course of field battery exercises. The limited number of men in the Royal Artillery when the 10th battalion was formed rendered it necessary to send com panies to Portsmouth, Dover, and Chatham, before the young men had acquired a full knowledge of the duties of artillery, and the two companies from the latter named stations will have that defect, which can only be done in a perfect manner at Woolwich, made good at head quarters. A statement having appeared in a contemporary that Rear-Admiral Dundas, senior naval Lord of the Admiralty, andll.P. for Greenwich, is about to relieve Vice• Admiral Sir William Parker, in the command of the Mediterranean squadron, we ha►e authority to state that the report is entirely without foundation.—Times. °MATIONS OF THIS BANK OF ENGLAND.—It appears from a paper yesterday issued, that the divi dends due and not demanded from the directors of the Bank of England amounted to the sum of 876,7391. on the ath of April, 1848; to the sum of 876,7391. on the sth of July, 1848; to the sum of 959,0951. on the 10th of October, 1848; and t• the sum of 1,047,2071. on the 6th of January, 1849. HULL, FAD. 13.—This morning was deposited within the catacombs of the beautiful grounds of the Hull Cemetery, the mortal remains of Herbert Seaton, Esq., of this place, whose death took place, .on the 7th instant at the age of 66 years.. Mr. Seaton had been an active and efficient member of the Town Council ever since the passing of the Municipal Reform Act, and was ever ready to work for the reform cause and the rooting out of all abuses. Societies with whom he was connected either as an officer or member in him have lost an untiringly useful and honourable friend. His funeral was well attended, the fine body of police for which Hull is celebrated were in procession, Mr. Seaton having long been one of the gentlemen composing the watch committee of the bo rough. There was a fair sprinkling of aldermen and town councillors, whilst the numerous private friends present proved how much he was respected.

The following scene is described in a private letter from Paris, dated Monday, Feb. 12, 5 r.m. : " Amidst the immense concourse that yesterday thronged the avenue of Neuilly, an d t h e gay and hand, some equipages that dashed along the Champs Elyse's —the like of which have not been seen since February_ last—the object that excited most interest was Young Jerome Bonaparte, who had just gone through the cere mony of recognition by the 2d Legion of the National Guards of the Baulieue as its colonel. The legion mustered 18,000 men. The new colonel arrived on the !ground on foot, surrounded by a splendid staff and preceded by the Prefect of the Seine. ills ib_. tention was to pass along the line, but the enthusiasm of the people, which was great be yond description, prevented him. lie was followed by the crowd as far as the Are de l'Etoile amidst deaf ening shotita of Vivo N:ipoleon!" Vive Bonaparte!' The people, with whom the National Guards freely mingled, repeatedly- grasped him by the hand, shook it warni'lt, and press,-c1 it to their lips. The enthusiasm Sven arrived to s ch a pitch as to become inconvt niet4 a however flittering it might be, and Jerome was obliged to L.ke rerug,e in a cafe near the arch, the doors of which were at once closed, and it was only after a considerable time had elapsed that he was enabled to retire in a dif ferent direction. " The only cause that can be assigned for this burst of feeling is the extraordinary resemblance between the new colonel of the 2d Legion and the Emperor Napo leon, and which is so remarkable that even a stranger, who has only seen the moat ordinary portraits of the uncle, must be struck by it. Altogether the scene of yesterday in the Bois de Boulogne, the Champs Elyst64e, and the Boulevards, cannot fail to astonish all who re member what France, and in particular Paris, has gone through for the last 12 months." The National Bank of Ireland have issued notice ',hat deposits of small Bums, from 10s. upwards, will now be received at any of their branches, and that interest on such deposits will be allowed at the rates and under the terms to be posted up from time to time at the several branches of the bank. Deposits of fractional parts of 10s. will not be received. This arrangement for receiv ing deposits so much under the usual minimum has been adopted, it is understood, in consequence of the failure of several of the Irish savings' banks, and the unfavour able opinion entertained of them in consequence, in many parts of Ireland. PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.— Some months ago public attention was drawn to a series of experiments on the fl )ating properties of shredded cork, when used for the stuffing of seamen's beds, bolsters, and every other kind of squab or cushion in ordinary use on board ship, and applied as a means of preserving life in cases of shipwreck or sadden casualty. It will be recollected these experiments took place in the Serpen tine, in the Thames, both at Chiswick and Blackwell, and subsequently in her Majesty's dockyard at Wool wich, last spring, in the presence of Admiral Sir G. Bremer, and other naval authorities. The success of the experiment was complete, demonstrating satisfactoiily the adaptation of the material, for the first time ex hibited in so useful a form, to the humane purpose of saving life under circumstances where human aid ham hitherto been considered unavailing. The extended ap plication of this most important invention has, however, been retarded by practical difficulties of a mechani ca l nature, which prevented the fibre from being produced in marketable quantities, and in sufficient abundance to meet the orders received by the patentees. It appear., however, that these mechanical difficulties have now been entirely overcome, and that machinery has been cone strueted so as to manufacture any quantity of the fibre that may be required. The application of the buoyant principle of cork to purposes of saving life in shipwreck is no novelty, but the bulk of the material has hitherto been fatal to the hope of bringing it out for general use. But by converting the cork into fibre stuffing and using it for beds on board ship a ready means is offered to passengers and crew of saving life in sudden emergency. The awful destruction of human life in the Avenger and Ocean Monarch might, no doubt, have been averted, or at least much diminished had these vessels been itted up with this important life-preserving agent. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER.--The continued upward tendency of the cotton trade is still operating injuriously to commerce in this market. Cotton having risen to a greater extent than manufactured goods, the producer is in a worse condition than he was some months ago, when rates were considered ruinously low. There was yesterday a good demand, at last week'. prices, but few such offers aro accepted, and purchasers have had to give an advance for nearly all kinds of goods. Shippers generally are doing as little as possi ble, being quite unable to comply with the present rates. Neither the home nor the foreign houses are doing so great a business as they were some weeks ago, er as they would do were prices not so high. It is impossible to obtain a remunerative profit so long as the raw ma terial maintains its present rates, except by a conside, rable advance in manufactured goods even upon the present advanced rates. NEW PRINTING TELEGRAPH.--We yesterday had the pleasure of privately inspecting a new printing tele graph, on the hydraulic principle, the invention of Mr. W. 11. French, of Cardiff, which, for simplicity and certainty, is far superior to any other, either hydraulic or electric, that has yet come under our notice. The invention being as yet unpatented, we cannot, of course, go into any description of it; but we may state that, without the uie of any arbitrary signs, or the necessity of receiving answers from the various stations as to whether or not a message can be understood, a com munication can be made, at the will of the operator, 10 one, two, three, or a dozen stations on the main line or branches of a given district of country, which will be legi bly printed on a slip of paper, something like the column of a newspaper, to any length, or a conversation can be carried on on the same paper between two points—the intermediate stations, by a simple contrivance, being thrown oat of the line of communication. One advan tage of this system is, that the telegraph becomes the . registrar of the communication, and prevents any dispute as to its real import; while another, and, perhaps the most important, is, that should an attendant at any" station be absent from his duty ho will, should any mes sage be given in the meantime, find it on his rant% legibly printed in the ordinary character, a bell continu ing to ring from the commencement of the comunication being made until observed by the attendant, and, to use a familiar expression, thrown by him out of gear. Ia point of economy this telegraph must, whoa pa tented, excite universal attention, as it can be erected for less than one-fourth the charge of the exposed elec tric wires, and for something like one-tenth the price now charged for laying those wires under the streets, while its station machinery is so simple that any child who can read at all can manage it with the utmost cer tainty; and we believe the day is not far distant when, irrespective of its application on lines of railway for com municating from station to station, from town to town, or one portion of a town to another, most of the large manufacturing and mining establishments in the kingdom will be fitted with these printing telegraphs from one part of their premises to another with which it is neces sary to have frequent communication.—Post. SOUTH DEYON ELECTION.—EXETEE, TITESDAY--*: Sir Ralph Lopes, Bart., was this day elected without opposition, to servo in Parliament to -represent thi southern division of the county of Devon. The Hon.`' Baronet declared on the hustings that he was in favour of retrenchment in the public expenditure, as far as it could be carried with safety, and that he would not con sent to any further endowment of the Roman Catholies in Ireland. With regard to free trade he considered it " a visionary scheme," which marks the folly apd dein. sion of the country. He would not vote for the repeal of the navigation-laws, which he considers " the pale dium of our national security, and a tower of strength which no enemy could ever overthrow." The speech .of the Hon. Baronet was received with much cheering, and. after a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, the proceed• ings closed. THE INDIAN MAIL.—The Semaphore states that , the last English mail which left Marseilles for India contained such a quantity of letters that the additional postage amounted to the enormous sum of 120,000 franca (4,8001.). Previous to the reduction in the postage of letters the mail for Algiers consisted at most of five bags; since then the number has increased to eleven, and that for Philippeville from three to eight.

ATTACKS BY lIIGHWATMEN.—On Saturday even• ing, when returning home from Buckingham market, Mr. Lines, of Water Stratford, farmer, was pulled from his horse by three men, and robbed of his watch, about 71. in gold and silver, and a cheque for sa on the Lon don and County Bank at Buckingham. On pulling Mr. Lines to the ground, the thieves forced mud into hie mouth. He resisted, and knocked dow❑ one of the melt twice; but by the combined strength and aid of blud geons, they completely overpowered him. Mr. Tread well, miller and farmer, of Westbury, was on the semi evening (when on his way home from the above market) stopped near the turn to Shalestone, by two me n wh° fortunately did not succeed in pulling him from hi, horse. After striking one of the fellows a violent blow across the face with his stick, Mr. Treadwell rode off with the loss of his hat and stick only, which worn sub sequently found in the road. Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar arrived at Mar. seilles on the 7th, on his way to Batavia, where he will" assume the command-in-chief of the Dutch forces iu NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THREE VESSELS CO3IMISSIONED.—The Rattler, 6 screw steam-schooner, one of the reserve steam squa dron in Hamoaze, is orderered to be commissioned at Devonport, for service on the coast of Africa, by Com mander Arthur Cumming (1846), who was mate of the Cyclops, and led the Turkish troops to the assault at the storming of Sidon; present on several other occasions on the coast of Syria in 1840, and his service officially noticed; Lieutenant in command of the Frolic's pinnace, and captured the piratic it slaver Vincedero in 1843; possesses the honorary medal of the Royal Humane So ciety for saving life. The Sappho, 16, is ordered to be commissioned at Portsmouth, by Lieutenant F. P. DaAiwood, for a Commander. The Janus, 2, steam vessel, is commissioned at Woolwich, by Lieutenant R. A.Powell, late of the Excellent, at Portsmouth. The Blenheim, 56, steam-guardship, is ordered an increase of armament. She carried 42-pounders on the main deck formerly. The new armament is to be— Twenty-six GS-pounders of 50 cwt. and 6 ft. 6 in. long each, on the main deck. Twenty-eight 32-pounders of 56 cwt. and 9 ft. 4 in. long each, on the lower deck. Two 10-inch guns of 85 cwt. and 4 ft. 6 in. long each, and one 68-pounder 95 cwt. 10 ft. 9 in. long, on the forecastle: Two 10-inch guns 85 cwt. each, and one 68-pounder of 95 cwt., on the quarter deck—Total, 60. With this armament the Blenheim is rendered more powerful, with a lesser weight of six tons on her decks. When the 42-pounders was assigned to her it was with the understanding that, being employed as a coast guard.. ship, the ammunition for this description of ordnance would be always ready at hand; but the Blenheim hav ing turned out so well as a sea-going ship, she is now classified as a regular service vessel, and has been sup• plied with the uniform armament generally adopted in the service; supplies of shot, &c., for which are kept on foreign stations. All the ships of the line being con verted into screw-ships, will have the regular marine armament; and the bastard guns will be appropriated to shore service. We have reason to believe that there is no truth in the report that the Excellent, gunnery-ship at Ports mouth, is to be abolished. The report is absurd. The following acting lieutenants, mates, and midship men received their certificates of passing finally for the rank of lieutenants to-day:--The Hon. IL A. Moreton, late of the Collingvroed; I'. J. Young, of the Excellent; E. H. L. Ray, of the Superb ; F. J. Protheroe, T. D. Williams, H. M. Bingham, B. G. W. Nicolas, J. G. Boileau, M. S. Piele, J. 'humor, and W. H. Whyte, a of 1848. Wind, W.N.W., light airs, and hazy weather. ANCELORS.—The Admiralty have been specially ap pealed to, and have sanctioned the exchange of the Llewellyn's bower anchors, respectively 16 and 17 cwt., of the Admiralty pattern, for two of 12 cwt. each on Porter's plan. This will afford relief to her bows of a great superincumbent weight (of serious import when contending or pitching in a heavy head sea), and at the same time she will possess really efficient anchors. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Reynell C. Mitchell (1843), who paid off the Devastation steam-sloop a few months since from the Cape of Good Hope and the coast of Africa, having joined the vessel from England at great expense, and commanded her only for about twelve months, has been appointed to command the Sappho, 12, at Portsmouth, to be fitted for service on the North American and West Indian station. Commander Arthur Cumming (1846), promoted from the Albion, 90, an officer who obtained his rank of lieu tenant for distinguished service on the coast of Syria, had been appointed to command the Rattler, screw steam-sloop, at Devonport, for service on the coast of A trica. Lieut. R. A. Powell (1842), late of the Excellent, and formerly first lieutenant of the Styx steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa, has at length received his commission appointing him to command the Janus steam-gun vessel at Woolwich, for service at Gibraltar. The following appointments have likewise been made to the Sappho:—Lieut. Francis J. Dashwood, just pro moted; Master C. J. Polkinghorne, just promoted, on paying off the Calliope, 26, for New Zealand, an officer upon whom the Admiralty confirmed promotion to mark their appreciation of singular good conduct and ability; Paymaster and Purser, John Barrett, 1848; Clerk, F. G. Bulgin; Midshipmen, James Hardy and R. H. Roe; Master's Assistant, Richard Dawes; Clerk's Assistant, C. A. Plummer; Acting Gunner, Henry Yabsley; Boat swain, George Drake; Acting Carpenter, James Oliver. The following officers have also been appointed to the Rattler:—Lieutenants, P. M`K. Godfrey (1841); Rich. Dawkins (1848); Master, W. H. Mallard, just promoted; Purser, E. D. Back (1546); Clerk, Robert Collins; Clerk's Assistant, Wm. E. Chown; Gunner, Richard Lonnon; Boatswain, James Stuart; Carpenter, George Tucker; Midshipman, T. M. Kelsall. The following officers have also been appointed to the Janus:—Second Master, J. D. Milne, tormerly of the Thunderbolt, steam-aloop; Clerk in Charge. S. W. Sadler; Midshipman, William F. Uregory; Master's Assistant, T. W. F. Paynter; Acting Gunner, Emanuel Piper. WooLwlcu, FEB. 13.—The Rhadamanthus steam vessel, Master-commander Ayling, was paid off at Wool wich to-day, and is to be re-commissioned immediately, the number of her crew being 60 men. A seaman be longing to this vessel, named Foster, fell overboard from a boat on Saturday, and his body has not been found. The Janus steam vessel was commissioned to-day by Lieutenant Powell, vrho has hoisted his pendant and will command her. She is intended for tug service at Gi braltar, and will have a crew of 55 men instead of 100, the number apportioned to her when she was first constructed. The Alban steam-vessel, Master-Commander Brad. shaw, is to be paid off here on the 16th inst. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

The men were both little ones. After a gallant contest of three hours and one minute, the Brummagem lad struck his flag, and Tiney, who is a protégé of Jemmy Shaw, of Bunhill-row, was declared the victor. JAS. BAILEY ♦ND CON. PARKER.—These heavy weights, who fought without the preliminary question of going to scale, met yesterday, at Eritb. Bailey is well known as a Portsmouth champion, and has been for years past thought " rayther stale." On this occasion he came uut against youth, which will be served, and strength which cannot be denied, except by consummate skill — the result was, that at the end of 91 minutes, wherein 51 rounds had been contested, Bailey was defeated, but not without a gallant struggle. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES FOR THE LABOURING CLASSES,—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the sub scribers and committee of the above institution was held in the Board-room in George-street, Euston-square. The report rated that, during 1848, the bathers had been 111,788; washers, dryers, ironers, manglers, &c., 61,690; individuals washed for, 246,760; articles of clothing washed, 2,220,840; making a total since August, 1846, of 255,057 male, and 26,158 female, and washers, &c., 106,814, making a total of the latter, of articles washed, amounting to no fewer 'than three millions and a half in all branches, which is a vast increase over the previous year. The statement of receipts for the year was 2,315/. 15s. 9d.; and the expenditure, including the re payment of a loan of 5001., left a balance of 3/. ls. in the hands of the bankers. The loans and liabilities amount to 2761. To extend the operations for the accommoda tion of 5,000 poor persons weekly, a building is in pro gress, to which her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Bedford, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, &c., have already subscribed up wards of 1,000/.

THE WEATHER st rday and Monday morn ing. when the sun ro —lee se, his red rays were reflected so brilliantly from the hoar frost on the grass, that early risers were impressed with w ith the idea that snow had fallen during the night. pools also were crisped with i ce , an d s omething like a temporary winter reigned over the land before breakfast. Speedily, however, the hoar frost disappeared, and the sun, as ho scaled the heavens in un clouded lustre, was not onl y seen bu t felt. On Sunday, a noon, his rays were inconveniently powerful. Monday also bristled up into a sensible frost heat; but yesterday, even in the fiercest rays of the sun, the atmosphere was somewhat chilly throughout the whole day. In this respect it was slightly an exception to the general rule. Spring is unquestionably far advanced for the season. Nut to speak of early flowers, which are now rushing up like enchantment, the pendulous willows which overhang the Cam at the College• bridges aro be ginning to bud and assume the vernal hue. The lark and his fellow warblers are now very noisy—constitu ting, after all, the best "choral society," and certainly affording the che a pe st o f all " cheap concerts."
