NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We are happy to state that the worthy Rear-Admi ral Superintendent of Portsmouth-yard was decidedly better yesterday. The Fairy, royal yacht, Master Commander Welsh, with Captain Crispin on board, proceeded to Osborne on Saturday, and conveyed Lord John Russell from thence to Southampton, en route to town. The Fairy proceeded to Osborne again yesterday, at two o'clock. The Sampson, steam-frigate, under charge of Mr. Henderson, master-attendant of Devonport-yard, navigated by a party of riggers, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, having on board the marines, seamen, gun ners, and some others of the crew of the Constance frigate, paid off on Saturday. The Sampson will proceed on to Woolwich to-day for the purpose of receiving new boilers. The Myrtle steamer sailed from Portsmouth for Devonport, with supereumeraries, on Friday last. The officers composing the court of inquiry on hoard the Eurydice closed their business on Priday afternoon at Portsmouth, and on Saturday their re port was transmitted to the Admiralty. It is gene rally known that no court-martial will take place on the first-lieutenant, but what ulterior proceedings tnay be adopted by the Admiralty towards the complain ants remains to be seen. We understand that Mr. Johnson, late assistant surgeon of the Driver, recently returned fro,n that vessel in the Pacific, has received a letter from the Admiralty, stating that they no longer require his services, and he has consequently been discharged from the service. The Eurydice, notwithstanding the exceedingly bad weather, is now nearly dismantled at Portsmouth; she is to pay off on Thursday next. The Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. W. S. Spencer, was taken out of the basin alongside the Pitchhouse jetty, Portsmouth, on Friday. She has not yet received her crew, but her complement has been made from the guard-ships ; she is ready for their reception. She has been rigged and turned out of hand by the dockyard riggers in a most com plete and seamanlike manner. All her running rigging, even her studding-sail gear is rove, so that as soon as her crew are on aboard she will be ready for sea. She takes out the African mail of the Ist of January, but whether she will remain on the coast station is a query. The " Sailor's Home" at Portsmouth has re ceived the very liberal donation of 50/. from Com mander Robert Coote, now studying at the Royal Naval College; he has also consented to be placed on the committee of management of that institution.

THE LATE QUEEN DOWAGER. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The late Queen Dowa ger's affection for the gallant profession of her royal husband continued up to her dying hour, and it could not be exhibited in a stronger manner than in her latest request, that a body should be convoyed to its final resting place by seamen of the royal fleet. It is understood that, in compliance with this request, a portion of the crew of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert have been ordered up from this port to Wind sor. His Royal Highness Prince Albert will cross from Osborne to this harbour in the Fairy yacht on Thursday morning, proceed by rail to Slough, and there join the cortege which will accompany the re• mains to 'Windsor. After the mournful ceremony his Royal Highness will return to this port and re cross to Osborne. The Royal Sovereign, 120, is to be built by task; 120 shipwrights, besides labourers, are to be em ployed to complete her frame by the end of the financial year. The sum allowed for the purpose is 2,5001., to put in frame, dubb to scantling, &c. She will be commenced on Monday week. The Glentanner emigrant ship, having grounded in coming from the river, is to be docked at this port on her arrival, and her repairs executed immediately. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, from England and Rio, on the 14th of October. The Sidon and Termagant steam-frigates will be tried this week in Stokes Bay together. Wind S.E , light breezes and hazy weather. PLYMOUTH, Dec. 7.—Her Majesty's steam frigate Sampson, 6, with Mr. Henderson, master at tendant, and a party of riggers and seamen, will sail to-morrow with stores f o r Portsmouth, and thence to WoAwich to have new boilers put in her. The crew of the packet-brig Penguin, 6, Lieu tenant. Commander 'Walter Leslie, were paid wages yesterday at the pay-office in the dickyard. She is appointed to sail to day for Falmouth. The Rochester lighter sailed on Thursday with stores for Sheerness and Chatham. The Lords of the Admiralty have been pleased to confirm Commander William N. L. Lockyer to the command of the steam- sloop Medea, 6, of which he has some time been acting-commander. Mr. Locky€r was flag-lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Sir F. A. Collier, K.C.8., on board the Hastings, 72, Captain W. Morgan, on the East India station. Heavy gales of wind from the S.E., will rain throughout the night, and so continued until mid day, when the gale decreaEel. Wind, S.E. DEQEM . 11ER B.—The storm from the south east, re ported yesterday had fatal effect to the westward of this harbour. Yesterday (Friday) morning a large ship, said to be from Moulmein, having a local pilot on board, was off the Cornish coast, near Polperro. When the captain attempted to heave her in stays, after making the land, the head-yards locked, and both anchors were let go, but she drifted ashore at ten o'clock, and will in all probability go to pieces. She had, includ ing men of colour, twenty-five hands, one or two of whom are drowned. No information has reached this place of the name of the ship, her port, or master. She was laden with teak timber, and is reported to have been bo un d t o Plymouth, for orders. She was the property of the master and his uncle, and the captain's wife, who was on board, landed safely from the ship. About the time of the above wreck the smack Caroline, of eighty tons, Captain Jabez Petherick, belonging to Messrs. Freeman, of this town, being laden with stone from Alderney, was driven ashore on the Rennies, in Whitsand Bay, near Looe Her deck and topsides are broken up, and her boat, with part of a bottle of wine in it, and the painter severed, has been picked up near Looe, but there are no tidings of the crew, consisting of three or four men, who are supposed to have bean lost. The Dutch steam-yacht Wilhelm de Eerste, Capt. 'l'. li. Savent, came in this morning, from Lisbon, which place she left on the 21 inst. On the 29th ult. all quarantine restrictions were taken from Eng lish ships trading to Portugal. Excepting Portu guese, there were no men-of- war in the Tagus. About 50 rnerchant.vessels, of all nations, were loading and discharging timber, fruit, tobacco, salt, &c. ; of these 16 belonged to Sweden. The Wilhelm de Eerste belongs to her Royal Highness the Princess Mariana de Nederlanden, who embarked on board her at Amsterdam on the 2d cf July. Calling at Havre, Lisbon, and Cadiz, they proceeded through the Straits of Gibraltar to Malaga, and thence to the Island of Sicily, after which they visited Palermo, Cephalonia, Catania, Augusta, and Syracuse. From Sicily the yacht went to Malta, where the Princess landed on the 15th of November, intending to proceed to Jeru salem. The yacht left Malta on the 19th, Gibraltar on the 26th, and occupied 41 hours from the Straits to Lisbon, which she reached on the 28th. The Wilhelm de Eerste was built in 1839, at Buly's private yard, Amsterdam, in which city her two engines, of 160- horse power, were constructed by Messrs. Paul Van Verssingen, and Dudok Van Heel. She is 350 tons, 175 feet long, 82 broad ; three. masts, carries five small guns, and his a complement of 23 hands. On Thursday and Friday the prevailing tempestuous weather was experienced by tke, yacht when off the Liz srd, in severe gales from the south, with a heavy sea, which continued until four o'c!ock on Friday afternoon, when the wind suddenly veered to north vi est ; the c.ssing of her larboard paddle box was car ried away, and she was fur some time in great dan ger. ither coaling •11,re, under directions of the Consuls', Messrs. Luscombe, Driscoll; and - Co., she proceeds to Amsterdam. Captain T.lL.Savent, - who commands the yacht, passed two" yearis and a half of Lis early days as a prisoner .on board a hulk at Hamosze, in this harbour. When servipg in a French frigate off Brest, they were captured by an English frigate en the 21st ,of Oetober,Jal2, and brought to this side of the Channel. lie : : ,appears most deservedly to possess the confidence and esteem o'..his present Royal patroness. • Wind, W.S.

'" IMPHOVEMENTS AT WOOLWICH DOSKYARD. The interior economy of this dockyard was never in a more efficient state than it is at present, the ex cellent arrangements of Commodore Henry Eden having placed every article of its numerous contents so that hands can be laid upon it at the shortest no tice. In these arrangements the Gallant Commodore has been ably assisted by the heads of the various de partments. In the factory departments the only regret is that they have not more to do; not that any of the workmen are idle, but they always desire to see a prospect of a great quantity of work before them, to stimulate them to exertion. The using up of the old wrought iron in the factory, instead of selling it for a trifle, as formerly, saves many thou sands of pounds sterling; and, in order to effect a still greater economy, arrangements have been made for erecting rolling-mills at the dockyard, to obviate the necessity of sending the bars, as at present, to Chatham to be rolled. This arrange• ment will save a great expense of carriage, and afford an opportunity of having wrought iron sheets of any dimensions made on the shortest notice required. It is also intended that the whole of the forging of old wrought iron shall be removed from the factory to the blacksmiths' department at the east end of the yard, where several of Nasmyth's powerful steam hammers are now in full operation, and it is contemplated that the work shall be done and paid for by piece-work, the present able master of the blacksmiths having introduced a system which will enable the men to produce an equal amount of work for about 13s. 6d. to that which used to cost nearly 503., a vast differ ence where so many tons of metal are now recon verted into use at this dockyard. It has hitherto been usual to make all the trenails required for naval pur poses here by hand, but a set of machines for the purpose of turning and finishing them is to be con structed over the spacious sawmills at the east end of the yard. DEATU Paola SUFFOCATION.—An inquest was held on Saturday last, at the Ram Inn, Mansfield, on the body of Harriet Beckett, aged 21, daughter of Wil liam Beckett, of the Welbeck toll-bar. The deceased was a servant of the Rev. Dr. Cursham's, Mansfield Vicarage. On the previous Monday and Tuesday, the deceased was ill, and confined to her bt d the greater part of the latter day. Oa Wednesday night she com plaint(' of being lery cold, and told one of her fellow servants that she should take a portable lire-place, used in the kitchen, into her bed room with her. Thomas Widnall, the boy to whom she told this, shortly after wards went to bed, leaving the deceased up. She, how ever, retired to bed at half-past ten. Between six and seven the following morning, Wickall knocked at the deceased's bedroom door several times. but could obtain no answer. He at length went into the room, and ther e saw the deceased with her clothes on in a kneeling pos i tion by her bedside. He touched her shoulder, - Cut it felt cold, and she made no answer. He then ran down stairs, and told the groom that she was dead. The msn immediately went up, and found that she was dead and quite cold. The grate, with some cincl.)rs in it, was lying on a dust pan in the middle of the room, and a smell of sulphur was clearly perceptibk Mc. Hurt, surgeon, ex amined the body, and proved that her death was owing to suffocation, caused by the carbonic acid gas which arose from the hot cinders. Verdict accordingly.—Not tingham Journal. AMATEUR DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE..—The mem bers of the typographic art connected with the metro politau daily press devoted Saturday evening last to the application of their histrionic talents to a dramatic per. formance, for the benefit of the widow and seven orphans of one of their own fraternity, the late Mr. Tattersall, who, after a few hours' illness, was cut off by an attack of cholera. The arena selected for the performance was the little theatre attached to the thwer Saloon, Lambeth, and the performance was headed with the announcement of the play of A New Way to Pay Old Debts. A musical Melange billows]; and with the farce of The Irishman in London the performance closed. The house was densely crowded, and the result has been productive of a handsome sum for the purpose for which the entertain ments were designed. I,SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FRENCIIWOMAN.—An inquest was held on Situ-day before Mr. Bedford, at Sr. Mar tin's workhous:, on the body of Justin Chaler, aged 30, a young Freechwomnre well known at the West-end, who was rimarkable for her prepossessing appearance. It appeared that the deceased had thrown herself out of a second-floor window, at 13, Panton-street, Haymarket. From the evidence of Caroline Hemmings, a servant at the house, it appeared that the deceased had lodged there for six weeks, and was frequently in the habit of getting intoxicated; that she came home on Friday morning, ibot four o'clock, accompanied by a gentle man, who, after staying with her a few minutes in the passage, lest her. Deceased had been drinking, and witness accompanied her up stairs and closed the door. Immediately afterwards she heard a smash of glass, and the deceased was found upon the pavement outside. She died almost directly. The jury returned $ verdict— 'Ti at the-deceased died from injuries received in fall ing from a window; but whether she threw herself out with a suicidal intent or otherwise, there was not suffi dent evidence to prove." MARRIAGE IN HIGII LIFE.—The marriage of the Lady Elizabeth Georgiana Conyngham, third daughter of the Marquis Cunynghatn, with George Brien; Esq., of Jenkiestown Castle, in the county of Kilkenny, was solemnised by special liCence; on Thursday morning, at the lodge of Sir William M. Somerville, Bart.., Chief Secretary, Phoenix Park, in th e p resence o f their Excel lencies the Lord-Lieutenant and Countess of Clarendon, Lord Francis George Spencer and Lady Churchill, Lord and Lady Bellew, the Earl of Mounteharles, Mr. and Lady Fanny Lambert, Mrs. and Miss Fortescue, the Hon. G. Ponsonby, Major Talbot, of Talbot Hall, county of Wexford, uncle to the bridegroom; Major Ponsonby, Mr. Thomas A. Joyce, Captain and Mrs. Williams and Mr. Seymour, aide-de-camp in waiting to the Lord-Lieutenant, and a select circle of relatives and friends The ceremony was performed by the Rev: Ralph Sadleir, one of his Excellency's chaplains, and . subsequently by the Very Rev. Dean Meyler, of St. An drew's, Westland-row. After the usual attestation and salutations had been gone through, the interesting event was celebrated by a grand breakfast; and afterwards the bride and bridegroom left by special train for Upper Court, county Kilkenny, the present residence of Mr. Brien.—Evening SUNDAY TRADING.—The memorial to her Majesty from the parish of St. Clement Danes, which was pre sented to Sir George Grey on Friday by a deputation, stated that in that parish alone, which contains 738 shops, the large proportion of 220 are open for trading on the Lord's-day, and the parishioners expressed their conviction that the present law against Sunday trading is in a great measure inoperative, by reason of the small penalties annexed to its violation, and the feeble agency through which its provisions are at present carried out. The memorialists prayed her Majesty to direct the at tention of Par liament to the subject in the ensuing ses sion, in order that some measure to strengthen or im prove the present law for the prevention of Sunday trading, and for promoting the better observance of the Lord's-day, may be originated by the Government of this Christian country. The Commissioners for Inquiring into the Markets of the Metropolis will hold their first meeting at the Home-oflico on Tuesday next, when it is expected that the City authorities and several deputations will be in attendance. The commission is an unpaid one, and the duties of secretary will be discharged by Mr. 11. Red grave, one of the clerks in the Home-office.

Verbeyst, the moat celebra,cd book collector i❑ Europe, or perhape in the world, has just died at Brussels at an advanced age. He had founded a very curious establishment, consisting of a house of several stories, and as high as a church, and disposed so as to contain about 300,000 volumes, arranged according to their subjects. SPIRIT of the 1 3 013' IC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The "needle women" of the metropolis are in no sense a class, fur they coeskt of all classes, and they suffer a pressure of competition on all sides, as great and as universal as the pressure-of the at mosphere itself. They are not a trade, or. a craft, or a calling; ior all these to rrus imply an express education for the employment, and a virtual mono-_ pay arising from the difficulty of the alt, or the, capital, the stock, the apparatus, or the connexions it. requires. In. England every woman is a needle woman. Every labourer's child is handy at her needle before she is six years old, and hes learnt. all kinds of mysterious stitches before she is twelve. Unmarried women were formerly called spinsters ; they might now, with g. - eater propriety, be called setnpstresces, for 111 are sempstresses, an I spinning is obsolete, except with 'the aid of steam. When a Woman takes - to needlework, it is for want of other employment. She is falling back upon her simplest, commonest, and most child ish accomplishment. The captive women and other miserables of antiquity were put to grinding corn in clumsy mortars, and carrying water from the distant spring. 411 such drudgeries, being things that any woman can do, and none do if they can help it, denote not a class, but a want of class. They shOuld, therefore, be regarded in their negative bearingi.' Instead of saying, "Here are twenty_ thensand women living mi sera bly b y th e i r needle," we Might` rather to Say, " Here are twenty thousand women with nothing else to do but needle work." As we hive often had occasion. to observe, there are many other employments of " the same negative character. For example, stone-breakers are not a class, and it is impossible to help them as a class; they are only men who can find no better work. We have, then, to deal with the miserable fact of so many thousand women—we are afraid to say hove many—avies #re ..de,stitute oK . proper this, . position, and employment. Idatirehem leta4.e' lorfeited their piece in society, and can never re gain, it. There are many, on the other hand, who may yet be plucked by the hand, as it were, out of the crowd, and restored to the exercise of higher powers, and the enjoyment of better oppor tunities. It is for this class that Mr. Sidney Herbert proposes emigration to ~our Australian colonies, as far as means can be raised for the purpose. There is no doubt that this metropolis contains, in its crowded streets and alleys, thousands of women admirably qualified for colonial life. They were born and bred in industrious and thrifty village households; they are acquainted with the duties . and the hardships of the labourer's lot ; it was their superior willingness and docility which recommended them to service; they have, it is true, had to en counter the dissipating and enervating influences of London life, but if they have done their duty they are all the better for that ordeal ; they may also have become wiser in the school of misfortune ; but there is nothing in all this which should disqualify the London servant out of place even for the hardships of life in " the bush." Go down into the most re tired village, and you will often find that a large pro portion of the labourers' wives have been in gentle men's service. They do not discharge the duties of the cottage the worse for having been pampered in an aristocratic kitchen, for having stood by a lady at her toilet, or spent years in making beds and dusting tables and chairs. On the contrary, it is a very usual thing in a village to hear slovenly habits accounted for by the fact of the woman never having heen in service. But whatever the prospect of transforming some thousand London "needlevvornen" into colonial matrons, it is far more important, and far more within the compass of reasonable hope, iEr prevent our village girls, and our domestic servants, from becoming " needlewomen" at all—that is, from being reduced to that only resource. Instead of encouraging village girls to seek their fortune in London, as rural authorities are always ready to do, it would at least be far kinder and wiser to send them to the colonies, under proper protection. We say this advisedly and emphatically, and we address it to the special consideration of the clergy and others apt to take a poetical view of society. The higher minded among the clergy hug the pleasing illusion of rural innocence and simp'icity, till they are only undeceived late in life, when their enthusiasm, and perhaps their powers, are gone. They hear of colo• nial degradation, and they feel the responsibility of advising a perilous voyage and a perpetual exile. They shrink from the idea of sending the first class in the Sunday-schools to rough it at the antipodes. As for the greater part of ths clergy, who are not high-minded, they let matters take their course. Hence the comparatively little spontaneous and self paid emigration from our villoges; hence, at least, the few that go out of a superior order, and the want of a continuous fl av to our noble colonies. Now, we beg to advise the clergy, and others possessing rural influence, to institute a dispassionate comparison between the actual results of staying at home and going to the colonies. We beg them to compare the casualties, the prema ture deaths, the temptations, the evil companionships, the stumbling blocks to religion, the moral ship wrecks, not only incident, but actually coming to pass, in both courses. Let them watch the settler's wife, if they please, to her drear home in the woods, to her fanatical worship, or to her early grave; but let them also track the village maid through the perils of a gentleman's service, through the allurements of a luxurious state of society, through the pride, the quarrels, and the folly of the servants hall, to the ob scure lodging, the incessant needle, the hour of ex treme distress, the deceitful friend, and the irrepa rable fall. It' not the most numerous, at least the most interesting and most pitiable members of the class we are considering are supplied from domestic service. It is a great object to atop that supply; but it will be impossible to do that till all parties realise the great perils that beset a servant out of place. IVithout inquiry, no one could imagine the übiquitous and continual nature of these perils. A servant leaves a place which she might easily retain, and where she could make herself as comfortable as mortals may expect to be, for some very slight reason, for a tiff with her mistress, or it disagreement down stairs. She is not particularly anxieus for another place at once, and does not dislike the possibility of a month's freedom. Once out of service, however, she finds it all up hill ; and as soon as her money fails, all the world is against her. Some benevolent persons have founded " Servants' Homes ;" but even these have their dangers, for it is ab solutely impossible to exclude all unworthy and demoralizing inmates. The hospitals to which ser vants in service and out of service are frequently sent are, unfortunately, often perverted into the means of moral injury. Bearing all these things in mind, mistresses should make more a point of re taking moderately good and useful servants; and servants, for their • part, should make a point of remaining in tolerable situations. There is no servant without failings, and no place without drawbacks, so that a perfect servant, and a perfect place, are nowhere to he found. Such topics may scarcely seem proper to a journal, but when the public is called upon to remedy the evil of some thousand servants out of place, and keeping soul and body together with the needle, it is very na tural to suggest some simple remedies far more efficacious than societies and emigrations. Prevention is better than cure; and we would rather sea fewer domestic servants driven to their needles, than a thousand needlewomen sent to the colonies. One other domestic duty we will notice, bearing on this subject. Masters and mistresses are bound to see that their servants are laying by out of their wages. They should all remember that " service is no inhe ritance." The most obvious course is that servants should be urged to put by as much as they can spare in the savings- bank. This, however, has its objections. A servant will sometimes be tempted to return a sharp answer all the quicker because she has a few pounds at command, just as the like state of things produces a strike in Lancashire. Money in the savings bank, too, is sadly at the mercy of lovers and other needy friends; and many a good servant loses the savings of long service in one rash investment. By far the most prudent course for persons in this help less condition is the purchase of a deferred annuity, on the plan recently provided by the Legislature, and urged on the public in a remarkable speech by the Prince Consort. A servant who at the age of twenty begins to pay 51. a year—generally no difficult matter—and continues to pay that sum till she is forty, will then be sure of 101. a year for the rest of her life. Thus at the time when servants are begin ning to tire of service, or are losing their places through the death or changed plans of their masters, they would find themselves comparatively indepen dent, or with at least a comfortable addition to any other income. DEATH OF THE HON. THOMAS STAPLETON.—We regrt t to announce the death of this gentleman, who was for many years known as a patron of the fine arts and sciences. He expired at Cromwell Cottage, Brompton. The deceased was a Fellow of tho Royal Society, the Society of Arts, the Antiquarian and other institutions. He was brother to Lord Beaumont, a pro minent Roman Catholic Pcer, and was born in 1806. The family is one of great antiquity iu Yorkshire. A printed circular, dated November 30, announces the fact that the Rev. J. A. Hanmer, curate of Tidcombe Portion, Tiverton, has gone over to the Church of Rome. HER: LA,TE MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER. During the past week several erroneous statements gained currency, asserting that the day had been definitively ,appointed for the funeral of her late Ma je.i•ty the Queen Dowager, and to morrow (Tuesday) and Saturday next were both named as days on one of which the;sOleirrn , :ceremony would positively take AVe • Littilitifirmo,=on--the best authority, that 'fit ivA r nlitclelegi4d`on4liat.alay in the present week • ild f ftintliirichayft!liiliklilittie until' after ihe visit of nil Marshal) to her Majesty ihe i Otieen;'idtklanirie; on Friday last, and the Worn - lath:al tpifointed day did not reach Bentley Prioiy untirBatutday. We may now•itate on authority, that the interment of the remains of the late venerated Queen Dowager will take place on Thursday next. At the early hour of six o'clock the funeral procession is to leave Bentley Priory, and win consist of a hearse and one or two mourning coaches, containing the page in waiting and dressera of the late Queen, and Fome of the a principal neo,cl domesticsoe o'clock theirof the royal Serene ro l household. Highnesses the Shortly princ e Edward and Gustave of Saxe-Weimar (nephews of the deceased Queen), the Earl Howe, lord cham berlain ; the Earl of Denbigh, master of the horse ; the Hon. William Ashley, .vice chamberlain; Sir Andrew. F. Barnard, clerk marshal ; the Rev. Geo. T. Hudson, domestic chaplain; Colonel Cornwall, equerry to the Queen, as well as the ladies in waiting, bedchamber women, and maids of honour of her late Majesty's court, will leave the Priory for Slough, where the funeral cortege will be formed. • His Royal Highness . Prince Albert (who will leave Osborne at an early hour that morning), his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and most probably his Royal Highness . Prince . George of Cambridge, will attend the ohsequies, and w ill j o i n in the mournful p rocess i on at SlougiL .His Seiene Highness-the Duke of Saxe-kein ingen (only brother of the late Dosirsitir - 44treonYotud' his son, the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Aleiningen, are expected hourly to arrive at the Priory, in order to attend at the solemn rites of their departed relative; but their Serene Highnesses had not arrived at Stan more yesterday evening. A courier was dispatched by Viscount Palmerston from the Foreign-office, on Sunday evening, after the death of her Majesty, to apprize the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen of the melan choly event. 'We understand that all the wishes of the lamented Queen Dowager, which were expressed in a sealed document opened shortly after her demise, are to be strictly carried out, and that it was her earnest re quest that her funeral should not be marked by any of the pomp which generally distinguishes that of a personage of her elevated rank ; that the customary embalmment, and the ceremonial of •'lying in state," should be dispensed with; and that the funeral should be conducted more as belonging to a private individual than to royalty. One request was, that she might be borne to her earthly resting place by twelve seamen of the British Navy. In consequence, the pomp and splendour invariably associated with the funeral of a member of the royal family are to be avoided on this mournful occasion ; and, in com pliance with her late Majesty's request, little external show will be exhibited in carrying out the funeral arrangements. No private carriages are to follow in the procession, which is to arrive at St. George's Ch a p e l a t one o ' c l oc k and will be received at the entrance porch by the Hon. and Rev. the Dean of Windsor. The stats coffin is of Spanish mahogany, covered with rich crimson Genoa silk velvet. The panels are formed by three rows of small burnished gold nails, the corner platings being engraved with the royal crown, the handles on each side, within the panels, being of dull - gold ; the whole being finished with a single row of large gold nails. Above the inscrip tion-plate on the lid is a large crown, and in the compartment at the foot a torch reversed, within the coil of a serpent. The plate bears the following inscription : " DEPO:ITIIM BERENISSIMA PRINCIPESSX ADELAIDX, REGINX DOTARIX. OBIT 11. DIR DECEMBRIS ANNO DOMINI MDCCCXLIX. JETXTIS SU.V. LVIII. " The other coffins within which her Majesty's remains are deposited will be placed in the state coffin, which will be conveyed to 'the Priory fo r morrow or Wednesday. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE On Saturday the arran7ements for the great An nual Metropolitan Cattle Show, prcduced under the management of the Smithfield Cattle Club, were rapidly approaching towards completion, and the specimens of cattle which have already arrived are stated by judges, who have had the opportunity of seeing them, and who are members of the c!ub, to be superior to anything which has ever been witnessed in the metropolis. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, who, in conse quence of the lamented demise of the Queen Dowager, it is feared will not be able to pay the exhibition a personal visit on this occasion, has nevertheless, made several entries, and has contributed some exceedingly fine specimens of the Scotch and other breeds, and alio in the sheep and pig classes. His Royal High ness the Prince of Wales, it is also rumoured, has an entry or two made in his name. Amongst the other contributors are the Duke of Richmond, the president of the club, the. Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Bedford, the Earl of Leicester, Earl Spencer, Lord Portman, the Duke of Buccleueh, Mr. Pusey, M.P. ; Mr. Webb, Babraham ; Mr. Fisher Hobbs, and a number of leading agricluturists in the various counties of England. The entries this year have amounted to one fifth more than they were last year or any preceding one ; and in consequence a vast increase of accommodation has been rendered necessary. In order to effect this Mr. Boulnois, the proprietor of the bazaar, has added a large building, situate at the north-western eagle, to that portion of the show usually appropriated to the sheep and pig classes. The main building, in which the cattle are kept, remains much the same as usual, with the exception of the entrance, in which a most important improvement has been made for the accommodation of the public. In the implement department there has been a wonderful increase in the entries, and consequently in the demand for places for the exhibition of the various implements used in husbandry, and in every department of agricultural and farming operations. In this depaatment addi tional accommodation has been afforded, and that portion of the building appropriated last year to the exhibition of the stupendous picture of the Alderney hull, cow, and calf, painted after the celebrated Paul Potter, by Mr. Ward, R.A., has been added by Mr. Boulnois to the implement department. Another exceedingly important improvement, both for the comfort of the animals as well as the visitors to the bazaar, has been effected with regard to ventilation. Very general complaints have been made, especially before the introduction of the lofty glass roof to the main building, of the oppressive heat of the place. This complaint has been entirely obviated by the introduction of a number of air-traps made in the roof of the implement galleries, end filo ofT.et i• •vi. dent to any one who will stand for a moment under one of them. NAPIER'S EXCURSIONS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.— "'The public mind is at this moment keenly alive to everything connected with the Cape of Good Hope. There is a general anxiety among all classes, to learn how Great Britain became possessed of this colony— what is its intrinsic villa() in a national point of view, and what is the general character of its inhabitants. As a large amount of information is contained i n these volumes upon the subject, no less than other most valuable matter relative to the tribes and climate of different districts of Southern Africa, they will un doubtedly attain a greater circulation than it they had appeared under ordinary circumstances."—Bells ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONB.—The following gentlemen being members of this institution, having un •derguno the necessary examinations, v‘e:e admitted Fellows of the College, at the meeting of the council, on the 7th instant:—Massrs.

STa.,—ln your very full and able report of the :oceedings of the general meeting of the Caledonian Asylum, held yesterday, at the Hall of the Scottish it is stated that " a letter was read from Ca9tain Forbes, presenting 1001. to the Asylum, a munificent offer, which was much cheered." This, I regret to say, is incorrect, as will be seen by the Gallant Captain's letter, addressed to the chairman of the meeting on the subject. This munificent sum was presented by Mr. Miller, of Fenchurch-street, through Captain Forbes. The following is an exact copy of the letter, which was read by the chairman ; and I shall feel much obliged by your inserting it in The Sun of to-day : - ,-, (Copy.) " 5, Hyde Park-gate, Dec, 5, 1849. "My deer Sir,—l ant informed, though I scarcely believe it, that you intend to bring forward a notice, to morrow, relative to the suppression of the band ! Ido intreat of you, in common justice to me, who have dis bursed, for the benefit of the institution, so large a sum of money, for which I have never yet asked a return, that while, under my present circumstances, I am pre vented from being present, you will see the propriety of abstaining frees mooting a question so distasteful to me, and, I may even add, annoying to my feelings. I need not, to ycu, reiterate the almost universal expression of admiration this portion of the institution produces out of doors,' thoLga within, at our councils, we appear to be constantly seeking for subjects of agitation. I Anew the band to be almost, if not quite, self-supporting ; at all events it brinks to the institution many subscribers of enthusiastic feelings towards their country, whose benevolence, if I may say so, without any disrespect to wards their more ennobling sentiments, is excited and urged on by witnessing the interesting spectacle of the juvenile band, putting out of the question the provision it affords to all the boys who have no other occupation to fall beck upon on quitting the institution. Under these circumstances, I cannot allow this branch of it to be suppressed without promoting, as far as lies in my power, such a struggle as may, to my grief, possibly tend to injure, as these constant agitations do, without doubt, the best interests of our valuable charity. " I am, my dear Sir, yours truly, (Signed) ' 6 CHARLES FORBZS. "James Simpson, Esq. " P.S. I may, in corroboration of one part of my letter, state to you that I, the other day, plid into Messrs. Coutts and Co. the sum of 1001., from Mr. Miller, of Fenchurch-street, one moiety of it in ail of the band. C. F." In deference to the gallant captain the discussion on the band was dropped. Another letter was received by Captain Lamont, one of the treasurers, while ati the meeting yester day, from a Highland laird, Mr. Campbell, Sunthull Argyllshire, conveying a cheque for Si. in aid of the band. The institution only requires to be righted, and sums will be received by Scotchmen all over the wcrld in aid of this delightful branch of the insti tution. The juvenile band was originated in March, 18443, by Captain Lamont, and he has paid since then more than 5001. to support it. The munificence of the late lamented Sir Charles Forbes and his family and friends requires no comment from me. Captain Charles Forbes has been unanimously elected vice-president in: room of his father, Sir Charles Forbes deceaFed. I enclose a copy of the report by the band committee, which will throw some light on the subject, but you can scarcely imagine the great difficulties with which Captain Lamont and Captain Charles Forbes have to contend. There is a certain party connected with this institution who take every opportunity to put down: the juvenile band. I know the motives that induce some of them to have recourse to such proceed ings, and ii they persist in it I shall certainly unmask the whole of their proceedings. I have taken a deep interest in the welfare and management of this institution—a noble institution, and worthy of its benevolent founders : it is an asylum for the sons and daughters of the " brave" and unfortunate, and I shall consider it a pride, au honour if my humble efforts shall in some degree be the means of bringing about a better state of ma nagement, and of restoring public confidence. I am determined to watch the progress of every movement. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A GUARDIAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sfft,—Your severe but just remarks on the horrid practice of flogging naked females of the ago of puberty have not escaped my notice. Nor am I at all surprised to find Mr. Fox Alaule, Mr. Hector Rose, and the Reverend John Cumming, advocating its infliction, since it is well known that, up to this time, in this enlightened age, as it is called, ani in their country (Scotland), where so high a claim is put forth to superior enlightentrAmt, and to purer views as to morals and manners, and at boarding schools for young ladies of no small pretensions to respectability, the practice of flogging the refractory in their public schools is, to their country's shame, still persisted in, and considered wholesome puni,h ment. I trust, with you, that the time is not far distant when coporal punishment except for mere children, and then v,ry sparingly, will have ceased. With great respect, I remain, yours faithfully._ SE EX. London, December 6, 1619. DREADFUL MURDER OF A WIFE. LIVERPOOL, DEC. B.—Yesterday afternocn an in quest was held before the borough coroner on the body of Isabella Cheetham, wife of Richard Cheet ham, a collier, living in Bollan-street, Over Darwen, who died yesterday morning in consequence of the brutal injuries which she received from her husband. The deceased and her murderer have been married about five years, and were respectively aged 26 and 25 years. The prisoner was present during the investigation. The principal witness was Mary Knowles, a child of nine years old, sister of the deceased, who said— When she went in on the occasion in question the deceased and her husband were in the house, and he was sober. There was a pan upon the fire, and the prisoner began to shake it and to spill the water in the fire. Ile then took the pan off the fire, and said it should not go on again until he had something to eat. llis wife said she could not get it without the money. The prisoner replied, " But I will make thee do it," and he lifted up his fist and knocked her down. He hit her i❑ the breast, and she fell on the floor; he then got upon her, and knelt upon her belly with his knees, and " began a kneading of her" (working his knees up and down or stamping upon her with therm). Ile then commenced pulling her ears until he made them bleed. Whilst he was on her he kept hitting her with his fists ma both sides of the head. She shouted out " Oh, dear me," and a neighbour came up and said " They are killing Isabella." The prisoner knelt upon his wife for about twenty minutes. He then got up and commenced pulling her nose. This took place on Thanksgiving day. The deceased lingered until Thursday, when she died. Several other witnesses having been called, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Wilful murder" against the prisoner, and he was comm tted to Kirk&le to await his trial. SUDDEN DEATH . OF Ma. MARRIOTT, OF FLEET. BTREET.—On Saturday, about a crier er after four o'clock, Mr. Henry Marriott, the extensive scale-maker and ironmonger, of Fleet-street, and who was formerly a member of the Court of Common Council, entered ono of the carriages of the South-Western Railway, for the purpose of proceeding to his country house, near Kings ton. In the course of a few minutes after the unfortu nate gentl, man had entered he was noticed to drop his head as if unwell. A friend of his, who was also in the carriage, went to his assistance, and found him splech• lecrs. He was retnov, d from the carriage just as the whistle was blowing for the train to start, and was ear -1 ried into the station. ihfr.

The body was forthwith removed to one of the private rooms at the Hero of Waterloo-inn, near the station, where it awaits an inquest. LONDON IN 1543.—A very curious and instructive work has recently been engraved, being a copy from the drawing made by Antony Van der NV) ngrerde, a Flemish draughtsmen, employed by Philip 11. of Spain. Purchased by the late Mr. Sutherland, on the decease of that gentleman it was transferred, with the rest of his collection, to the Bodleian Library, at Oxford, where it rema'es. Mr. Whittock has done good service by making this vivid and faithful copy, .and it will be hailed with delight by all who take any Interest in the history of the British metropolis.

DEATII FROM CIILOIIOFJEM AT SHREWSBURY.-- On Wednesday evening an inquest was field at Shrews bury, upon the body of a pour Welsh girl named Jones, from the neighbourhood of the Craven Arms, between Church Stretton end Ludlow, who di( d on the same day. it appeared that it was necessary for her to undergo a very painful operation, that of the removal of the eye ball, and with her own full consent Mr. W. J. Clement, th 2 surgeon under w hose care she was, administered about one-third of the quantity which he had given other patients. It had, however, such an effect upon her that she was seized with apoplexy, and speaking in Welsh at the time, expired instantaneously, as if she had swallowed prussic acid. The jury returned a verdict of " Died by apoplexy, caused by inhaling one drachm of chloroform."— lioreford Journal.
