NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. GIBRALTAR, JAN. 31.—Sir C. liapier's squadron, consisting of the St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful, Orestes, Plumper, Reynard, and Rifitman, anchored here in the night of the 27th. The Harlequin came in next morning, and the Stromboli, with Mr. D. Hay, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Tangier, came in in the afternoon. They had an easterly gale off Cape St. Mary, when the Plumper lost a man overb oar d an d parted company, - but rejoined off the Straits. Prince Regent sprung main yard, got it down and fished it, when it was got up again; she split her topsails on the same occasion. St. Vincent also split some sails and had the lower boom washed away. The R-ynard lost a quarter-boat and stove her bulwarks—it blew furiously for 36 hours with a foam ing sea. On the 20th, in a strong breeze, as much as the Plum. per and Reynard could carry topgaliantsails on a wind, they tried rate for 16 miles, when Plumper beat, but not to a great extent, as Reynard wished to claim the supe riority. !JAM ler" is No •] LONDON, WEDNESDAY . .ri - . 74, FEBRUARY 7 1849, [PRICE SD.

It may be necessary to state, that another man was severely wounded by the mate on the same night, be cause he did not come on deck readily to assist at the pumps, and has been under medical treatment since the art ivsl of the ship in this port. Fraser, a Thames police-constable, No. 73, put in a certificate from the surgeon of the Dreadnought Hos pital ship, stating that Hughes was still in danger, and not in a fit state to attend the court and give evidence. In answer to questions by the magistrate, Fraser he did not expect that Hughes would be able to attend in less than a fortnight; but Mr. Ross, the surgeon who first attended him, could give more satisfactory in formation.

THE POET'S DREAM Sleeping sr waking, strange as it may seem, All clever poets have the power to dream : The truth of this I oftentimes have shown, In rather curious day-dreams of my own. Shakespere alludes to dreaming in a doze, While Mab, the fairy, irritates the nase. But from the following fancy you will see, That night or day, 'tie all the same to !me. The dream in question brought into the scene Prince Albert and her Majesty the Queen. The Queen on Thursday last (you know the date), had been to open Parliament in state ; And having reached the royal habitation, The illustrious couple joined in conversation. "Sir," said the Sovereign to the good Prince A, " Did you observe the multitudes to-day, And did your Royal Highness note with me, How well attired the people seemed to be." I did," replied the Prince, " and felt right glad To see the people so genteely clad ; And more anti more this pleasing scene disposes Your humble consort to procure of MOSES. Your Majesty, of course, is well aware, That MOSES' dresses were the chief ones there." " 'Yes," said her Majesty, " exactly so, THE DRESS OF MOSES We may always know. There's something so superior in its cut, That folks might see it if their eyes were shut. trust your Royal Highness will not rest, Till in the famous style of.`LOSES dressed." . 21. nd o ,'' said the Prince, " That I'm resolved to be, J.L pleased I am our tastes s) well agree ; ,t5-nd, by - the-bye, the Princes shall be dressed Lit Youths' attire, which all pronounce the best. " THE HITS OF MOSES Also," said the Queen, Tour .'A "Added a deal of beauty t o the scene. _ R oyal Highness, as we passed along, :2_edoubt obsnwed them in the numerous throng." „I s," said the Princ e , " I did, nor did I lose he chance of seeing MOSES' BOOTS AND SHOES. nsw „ el they looked--how well they seemed to fit"— , said the Queen, " that's true, I must admit , d 11 very well you not they looked observe the ladies, Sir, in "Yes," said the Prin iS c i e ° , B • E ' fd F id, U R and " I confess, very much adnaired their Winter dress.

By the operation of iiiesani7Principles, the Society is eaabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may s^- cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advancnl age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other ,upposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em oltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eolhprosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement. 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. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little ittEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each).

They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whoa. they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth en the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's ife, who owes his present existence, health, and positioa to this ob iervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—end to keep always ea the " sunny side of the way."

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 27, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. • Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Zdln burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hespititl Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfflment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source In every instance disclosed, in hew many could it be traced to physical diequalifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should ' be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi:, possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes- Bional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a naantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE 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 imitated, so complete a transformation takes place, that as Byron says—" A mother would not know her son." ROSS and SONS having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect imita tions of nature, have given the name • f the Invisible Ventilating Head of Hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer them to both Ladies and Gentlemen, from one guinea and s. 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, which will be closely matched, both in colour and quality.

Sittings in Error.--Present, Justices PATTESON, COLT MAN, MAULE, CRESSWELL, ERLE, and WILLIAMS.) MOULTON AND WIFE v. CAMROUX. This was a case arising out of a special verdict. The action had been brought by the plaintiff's, the wife being the administratrix of Thomas Leigh, against the de fendant, as the secretary of the National Loan Fund Insurance Company, for money had and received. The verdict was found for the defendant in the Court below. Leigh had agreed to purchase an annuity of the in surance company. There were two questions—whether a lunatic could make a contract under the circumstances disclosed by the record; and whether, assuming he could, this contract was void, under the statute governing an nuities, for want of enrolment. _ _ _ Mr. Needham was heard for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Gurney for the defendant. Mr. Justice PATTESON stated that the Court thought the judgment of the Court below, as to the enrolment, was right. The Act of Parliament which had said that deeds granting the annuity, if not enrolled, should be void, had not thrown the burden of enrolling upon either party; it seemed to bej the duty of the grantee, but whether it was so or not, it was not necessary to say. At all events, the granteel might enrol, and, therefore, for him to say he would treat the transaction as void could not be allowed. It was partly his fault; therefore the action could not be sustained. As to the other point they would not now say anything. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Meson, of the Ben Jonson, public-house, was summoned before Alderman Hunter, for keeping his house open on Sunday morning, and refusing admittance to the police when demanded. The facts of the case were, that on Sunday morning, about ono o'clock, one of the police-officers heard a great deal of talking, and money jingle on the counter. He informed the sergeant, who went back with him and de mended admittance, which was refused, and they went away, but by orders of the inspector, he was told to keep a watch on the house. He did and observed, be tween the hours of two and three o'clock in the morning, several persons go out. The defence set up was that one of Mr. Mason's nephews was going abroad, and they were the only parties in the house, a party having been given on the occasion by Mr. Mason, sen. Alderman HUNTER said he would throw overboard all thoughts about who was there, or who was not ; but he must not look over the fact of their refusing to allow the police admission when they demandtd it, having fair reason to believe that a violation of the law was being committed, He should therefore fine Mr. Mason in the penalty of 203., and 3s. costs. The fine was at once paid. WORSHIP-STREET. _ . Henry Hunt and John Bunton, two athletic labouring men, were placed at the bar before Mr. Ty rw hitt, charged with having caused the death of a fellow- labourer, named Edward Rumball, in a pugilistic encounter. It appeared from the evidence of James Hubby, a stoker, employed at the Imperial Gas-works in Hag gerstone, and several other witnesses, that the deceased and a number of other workmen were assembled on the preceding evening in the tap-room of the Anchor pub lic- house, adjoining the gas-factory, when an alterca tion arose between two of the party, which led to a general challenge on the part of Hunt to fight any one present. The deceased at once accepted the challenge, and after a short contest, in the course of which bard blows were exchanged on both sides, they fell toge ther against the iron . fender in front of the grate, but got up apparently uninjured, and re sumed their seats ag nothing unpleasant bad oc curred between them. Almost immediately afterwards the deceased commenced quarrelling with another man, whom he struck and challenged, and tho prisoner Min ton having interfered to restore order, the deceased sud denly started up and insisted upon fighting him also. The deceased then pulled off his frock, and was in the act of adjusting his belt, when Minton struck him a slight blow on the side of the head, and he staggered back into his seat, but rose almost immediately, and falling forward on his face remained perfectly still, and never spoke afterwards. Medical assistance was pro cured as speedily as possible, and three surgeons were shortly in attendance, but they pronounced the unfor tunate man to be quite dead, and directed the removal of the body to Shoreditch workhouse. Mr. John Richard Morgan, a surgeon at Hackney, who had been called in upon the occasion, deposed that he found the deceased had sustained an extensive con tusion of the occiput, apparently produced by a heavy blow or fall, but he was unable to state the immediate cause of death until he had made a post mortem exa mination. Police-constables Caffrey and Acres,who apprehended the prisoners soon after the occurrence, stated that both of them attributed the disaster to the intemperate and violent conduct of the deceased himself, and severally declared that they had merely acted in self-defence. The prisoners now repeated the same statement in their defence, and were ordered to be remanded until Saturday next. _ _ SOUTHWARK William Scallard and John Scallard, egg and butter merchants, late of No. 46, Bermondsey-streot, were placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, for re-exami nation, charged with wilfully setting fire to their house. Mr. Parry attended on the part of the prosecution; and Mr. Clarkson on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Parry said that the additional evidence he had to produce against the accused persons was of a very im portant nature, and would go far to establish the charge against them. John Burtell was then sworn, and he stated that the landlord of the house to whom the prisoners were tenants engaged him to levy a distress on their goods for 71., which was due to him. The witness took an inven tory of the articles, which were sold for 21. The wit ness added, that the distress was levied on the morning the fire occurred. John Hoare stated that there were twenty-four per sons lodged in the prisoner's house ; that about three months before the late fire the inmates had been alarmed by a dense smoke in the middle of the night, which was found to proceed from the room below stairs occupied by the prisoners, one of whom, when asked the cause, said it arose from his kindling a bit of fire in the grate. On the occasion of the recent fire, when witness placed his family in safety, he returned to the house, and saw John Scallard, of whom he asked the reason he did ;not give the inmates the alarm when the fire broke out, and his reply was, that he had better pay up his arrears of rent. Margaret Mahony stated that she lodged in the house, and that two days previously to the fire she saw William Stallard removing a quantity of eggs from his shop to that of a relation in the same neighbourhood. The husband of the last witness also proved that he observed the same man removing firkins of butter on a truck. The witness added, that on the night previous to the fire he observed that the back door of the house, leading to the cellars where one of the fires took place, was fastened, which was a most unusual circumstance. Mr. Robert Wilson, clerk to the General Assurance Company, in King William-street, stated that, in the month of December, 1847, William Scallard effected a policy of insurance on his furniture and stock in trade in the office for 3201. Subsequently to the fire that oc curred on the 25th ult. the prisoner William Scallard called at the office and made a claim to the above amount. He was strictly questioned by the manager, and he gave such an unsatisfactory account of the value of the property alleged to be destroyed that no settle ment of the claim was effected then. Mr. COTTINGHAM—Has the claim been since granted? The witness replied in the negative. Mr. Clarkson inquired of witness whether the present prosecution was instituted by the insurance company, and he said that he believed not. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he had given directions to Inspector Gates to apprehend the prisoners, on being made acquainted with the circumstances that transpired before the coroner, particularly when he found that the lives of twenty-four human beings might have been sacrificed had not the fire been discovered by the police in the first instance. The magistrate added that he should commit the prisoners for trial, but also should have them brought up again prior to the next Central Criminal Court sessions, and that any additional evidence that might arise in the interim could be inserted in the depositions. THAMES. Captain Richard Hamer, the master of the sc hooner Sea Bird, and Mr. Launcelo ' t Wilson, late chief mate of the same vessel, who have been out on bail, again sur rendered before Mr. Yardley, to answer a charge of as saulting and wounding John Hu g hes, a seaman, d o u f ri t n h g e a storm off the island of G uernse y onflithe.cting several night llth of January, i when the mate , af tern wounds on Hughes with a cutlass, drove him from the forecastle on to the deck, where be was asnuited by Mr. Pelham put it to the magistrate, whether it would not be advisable to go on board the Dreadnought, and receive the deposition of the patient. There were several witnesses for the defence whose evidence was very important, and if the evidence of Hughes was taken, their testimony might be received and be of great import ance to the prisoners, besides expediting the matter. Mr. YARDLEY really did not see how that would expe dite the case as regarded the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court; and ho would say thus much, and no more, that the case was one for further inquiry before a jury. If the man was not well enough to attend the court and give his evidence previous to the next Old Bailey ses sions, it might reasonably be asked that his deposition should be taken in the hospital, and returned to the su perior court. Mr. Pelham suggested that the evidence of a man in articulo mortis could be legally taken. Mr. YARDLEY—Is he in art iculo mortis? Mr. Ross— The man is in danger, but not in a dying state. Mr. YARDLEY said, if the man was in danger, that was a good reason why his deposition should be taken if it could be done without any injury to him. He desired the officer to let him know as early as possible on Thurs day, if the man was in real danger, and in a fit state to be questioned, and to make a statement. If he was in danger, but could give his deposition without detriment to himself, he (the magistrate) would go down the river on - Thursday, and receive it. Mr. Pelliim thanked the magistrate, and the pri soner's recognizances were then enlarged till Thursday (to-morrow). PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. From the Votes and Proce&dgs of the House of Commons.)

The deceased was born in Sep tember, 1807, and IN Lek prestimptiyotV the AlArqui4 of Wefitutotli. Rifleman took out seven tons of ballast before leaving Lisbon, and appears better than hitherto; but is not a vessel fit to accompany a squadron; in strong breezes she is best, but ing so low abaft, it would be impos sible for her to run in a sea. The Harlequin has not done much yet; the Plumper and Reynard are cc rtainly equal, if not superior, to her. She tuck a Spanish brig in tow, tho Mariner, which vessel had been run down by an English barque, from which she had lost her foremast and maintopmast. The Harlequin towed her into Caliz, and came on here. The Pumper, Rt , yuard, end Orestes had a trial of sailing on a wind, earring all sail; rate, five to six miles per hour. After four hours, Plumper beat dead to wind ward of Reynard nearly two miles; Orestes beat to windward of Reynard about one mile. The Sidon and Polyphemus have hoisted the white ensign, being under the orders of Sir C. Napier. On the 29th the Sidon took Mr. Hay, Chargé, to Tangier.

Sir,--We, the undersigned British merchants of Gib raltar, interested in trade with Barbary, beg leave most respectfully to address your Excellency with re ference to a report that differences have arisen between the British Government and that of Morocco,, which render necessary the presence in this vicinity of the force under your command. The alarm which such a report has occasioned here may be readily understood, when it is stated the amount of capital involved in the trade between Gibraltar and Morocco, almost wholly in British manufactures, cannot be estimated at less than from 350,000/. to 400,000/. for the past year, of which a considerable portion—perhaps one-third—still remaining due by Moorish subjects, will be txposed to imminent jeopardy should hostilities un fortunately break out. We have, therefore, to express our earnest hope that your Excellency's able endeavours for the restoration of a perfect understanding between the two countries may be attended with complete success; but should such a result not be speedily attained, we ha►e the satisfaction of feeling that the valuable interests wo have at stake will receive from your Excellency ail the consideration that may be compatible with the performance of the high and important duties which are happily confided to your Excellency's charge. _ _ We ha'e the honour to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient and humble servants, (Sigt ai) JAMES, GLASGOW, and CO.

Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, inclosing one from the British merchants at Gibraltar. I am most anxious that the existing difference be tween the British Government and the Moorish Court should be amicably settled, and I trust the appearance of a strong squadron collecting here may induce the Sultan to at once comply with our demands, without the ne cessity of our enforcing them.

APPALLING MURDERS. A letter has been received by a. respectable mercan tile firm in the City, detailing a horrible butchery already occasioned by Californian gold. A ship, called the Amelia, sailed from St. Francisco with gold, to purchase a cargo of silks in China. In crossing the Pacific Ocean, three miscreants of the crew, during a night watch, stole upon the mate, murdered and threw hitn overboard; after which they anuessively assassinated the master, supercargo, and an English passenger named Cooke, whose wife was on board. The murderers then divided the Californian gold amongst,themselves and the remain ing part of the crew, who it would seem were ignorant of the whcle affair, till called upon to rtceive their share of the plunder. Soon afterwards the murderers got drunk and fell asleep, when the rest of the crew agreed to kill them and to restore the ship to her owners. Accordingly the ship's carpenter chopped off the heads of the three murderers with his axe, and their bodies were thrown into the ocean. The ship was then taken to Honohulac, one of the Sandwich Islands, and given up to the British Consul, being navigated thither en tirely by a couple of apprentice lads, who alone possened sufficient skill for the , purpose.

Baring presented himself to his con stituents in the Town-hall, Portsmouth, in which place were assembled upwards of 1,5(10 electors and others. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Hoskins, who was supported by Lord George Lennox, Sir John Morris, &c. Lord G. Lennox moved a resolution to the effect, " That the political prin ciples and public conduct of the Right Hon. Sir F. Thornhill Baring entitled him to the renewed confidence and warmest support on the day of election." Major Travers seconded the motion. Sir F. Baring, who was received with mingled cheers and hisses, then addressed those present. He had learned not to be afraid of the people of Portsmouth, nor was he fond of cffice, but when it came unsought, he was right in consulting his own feelings. After twenty- eight years' ser vice no man was likely to doubt what course he would pursue. His opinions were pretty well known, and he did not think it necessary to begin with explaining the "ABC" of his political creed. The Right Hon. Baronet having concluded by asking the support of the electors, tl I resolution was put and carried. Yesterday the nomination took place in St. George's-square, and no opponent ha_n. y .o ing appeared to contest th e vacan t seat w i t h th e Right Hon. Baronet, he was de c l are d d u l y e l ec t e d t o serve in Par liament.
