" That by the treaty concluded between the East India Company and his late Highness Pertaub Singh, Raja of Sattara, on the 95th September, 11119, the territories of Sattara were secured to him and to his heirs in perpetual sovereignty. That by the supplemental treaty of September, 1839, the said territories were confirmed to his brother Appa Sahib, as the next collateral heir and successor, and to his heirs, on the same terms as specified in the treaty of September, 1819. " That this Court has heard with feelings of the deepest surprise knd alarm of the contemplated seizure, confiscation, and annexation, by the East India Company, of the Sattara territories, in violation of the rights of the lawful heir ; believing, as this Court does, that such seizure, confiscation, and annexation would be a most flagrant breach Of the said treaties so solemnly entered into and confirmed, would be . a disgrace and stain upon the British character, and would se riously weaken the confidence hitherto reposed by the princes and people of India in the justice and good faith of the East India Com- Pally and of the British Government. " That under such circumstances this Court deems it to be their Imperative duty to declare their solemn conviction of the impolicy and danger, no less than of the Injustice of such a Proceeding, and to express their earnest hope that the Court of Directors and the Board of Control will withhold their sanction from such a measure."

We regret to announce the death of Captain John Norman Campbell, C. 13., who commanded the Melam pus, 42, at Monte Video and the East Indies, since \larch, 1845. This gallant officer had resigned the command of his ship at Bombay in consequence of ill health, and died at Cairo, on his way home overland. This gallant officer was made a lieutenant in 1807, com mander in 1820, and captain in October, 1827. When lieutenant of the Dreadnought, .he commanded two of her boats at the capture of a vessel under the batteries of Rochelle, in 1809; ho was also lieutenant of the Astrea at the capture of the French frigates Renom (née and Nereide, and as senior lieutenant of the Liver pool, commanded the seamen in the attack on the pirates at Ras al Khyma, in the Persian Gulf, in 1819, for which service he was promoted. He likewise won his present rank and his C.B. for war service, having been commander of the Albion at the battle of Navarino. Commander John Campbell, the nineteenth on the list of commanders, died on the 30th ultimo, at Pen zance, aged 68. He was the son of the late General Fletcher Campbell, of Salton and Boquhan Stirling. He was lieutenant o f th e C ourageux, at the reduction of St. Lucia, in 1803 ; served with the late Admiral Lord Keith, as first lieutenant, when he commanded the Channel fleet, in 1812 and 1813 ; was promoted for his services on the north coast of Spain, in connexion with the British army, particularly at the siege of St. Sebas tian and at Santona. Ho also commanded' the Lyra. Commander Robert Sangster, of the' retired list of 1814, died last month, at Edinburgh. He was a lieute nant of 1800, and a commander of 1845. Lieutenant Herbert Blachford Gray (1844), who was midshipman of the Genoa at Navarino, and wounded promoted f rom t h e Coast guard, and that a nd action, w as in command was promoted of the Active, revenue cruiser, died on Wednesday last, at Cambridge -terrace, Southsea. lths since it we had SECOND EDITION.

The It has read the world a severe lesson, beginning with the gigantic revolution of the 24th of February, affecting millions, wading through insurrections, imeutes, Chartist demonstrations, royal flights and abdications, the down fall of two dynasties, each aged 1,000 years, commercial distress, and ending with the minimum revolution or resolution of December 5, at present affecting but one man, but eventually millions. Pope's lines, which speak— "Of turns of fortune, changes in the state; The fates of fav'rites, projects of the great;" are apropos to the subject in the sporting as well as in the other worlds ; during the past year Surplice and Co. the favourites of fortune and the ring have had a most tremendous run of luck, which if continued this year, will go hard upon the bookmakers. It has cleared off since the Surplice panic of last May, no less than five City and West-enders, independent of many provincial and metropolitan dabblers in the odds. 1848 produced a fair sample of racers, which I divide into three classes, appending such weights as I consider would bring them on a par with one another. _ ,he Oppo on.

Sleeping or 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 n3se. But from the following fancy you will see, That night or day, 'tis all the same to me. The dream in question brought into the scene Prince Albert and her Majesty the Queen. The Que en on Thursday last (you know the date), Tied been to open Parliament in state ; ' i And havin7 reached the royal habitation, T he illustrious couple joined In conversation. "Sir," said the Sovereign to the good Prince A, a id n a D w :oar; a o t b t s i e re rv ody e a t l he mu'titudes to-day, a. did your Royal • ~ seemed to be " le the ll p i e g a bness note with me, '' I did, replied the Prince, " and felt right glad To see t And the People so genteely clad ; more tied more this pleasing scene disposes Your hum . ble consort to procure of MOSES. r Majesty, of course, is well aware, Th at MOSES' dresses were the chief ones there." Ye-i." said her Majesty, " exactly so, 1 THE DRESS OF MOSES e W may There's som e thi ng so superior in its cut,always know. That folks might see it if their eyes were shut. I trust your Royal Highness will not rest, Till in the famous style of MOSES dressed." "No," said the Prince, " That I'm resolved to be, And pleased I am our tastes 81 well agree ; And, by-the-bye, the Princes shall be dressed In ToUthS' attire, Irk"ch all pronounce the best. " THE HATS OE MUSES Also," said the Queen, "Added a d ea l o f b eau t y to the scene. Your Royal Highness, as we passed along, No doubt observed them in the numerous throng."

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced rue to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they preyed very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have bad no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past er present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, strand, London," im pressed upon tho Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine. TIC DOLOREUX CURAIILE.-TOOTHACHE, JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC TURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX, will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering'from this most excruciating and hitherto-censidered incurable complaint. ♦ know ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that distressing malady; the first application not only easing the patient of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member ef the University ef Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment ef several conditions. ix 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 disqualifications and their attendant disap pointmeata. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, whoa abased, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less imjury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are prOductive of greater severity if misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account ef the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, aid 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 ef 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 1 In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering Irons their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear ef ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so requently, 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, Java riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ' P ub a lis ten ti st b e y r- th ro e w A ; certify. and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost , solely to the treatment of these diseases.

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

COMMITTEE OF ALDERMEN.....-011 Saturday a com mittee of Aidermen was held in the Council-chamber, Guildhall, when the election of a goaler, in the room of the late one, who had resigned the situation, took place. The person chosen was G. Shackle, who for many years, was one of the old Bow-street officers, but upon the formation of the new police, he was appointed one of the inspectors, and subsequently succeeded Mr. Superin tendent Pearce, of the F divider', an the inspauLor of the detective force, from which he retired a few months ago on a pension. Some of the members of the Court objected to the appointment, on the ground that some one of the turnkeys belonging to the Compter could be found, who would be hilly capable of performing the duties, but it was contended that, as Shackle was ac quainted with the persons of all the metropolitan thieves, a better selection could not be made, and his election was the result. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Saturday, consider able sensation was excited in Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, in consequence of Mr. John Naton, the landlord of the Yorkshire Grey, having committed suicide by shooting himself. The deceased, who was about thirty-five years of age, was married, and has left a family of four young children. It appears that neither deceased, his wife, or potboy, had been to bed the previous night ; that a few minutes before five o'clock deceased left his wife in her bed-room, and went down stairs, saying that he would shoot himself. He afterwards took a gun, loaded it with shot, placed the muzzle beneath his chin, and pulled the trigger with his right foot. The potboy had at tempted to interfere, but the unfortunate man swore he would shoot him if he did.

Captain Sir Edward Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., K.C.H. (1845), who has been the English r e p resentat i ve at Athens for many years, is to be removed to Switzerland. Captain James C. Cant, who was prom o t e d i n Octo ber, 1847, for the relief servicein Ireland, in command of the Scourge steam-sloop, and whose letters on the condition of the population of Skull, will, perhaps, be remembered, who rendered some service at the wreck of the Sphynx, steam-sloop, and after escorting the Royal squadron to Scotland, proceeded to Dundrum Bay ; and was engaged in the successful recovery of the Great Britain iron steam ship, having been appointed by the Lord Mayor one of the harbour masters of the port of London, vice Commander Fisher, retired, the Admiralty nave been pleased to sanction the appointment. There were about 50 candidates for the appointment, including Captains M`Quhae, late of the Daedalus, and Vernon Watkins, late of the Modeste, Commander Blinstead (who served in the navy with the Lord Mayor), and r. Parker, R.N. Commander E. A. Inglefield, son of the late Rear- Admiral Inglefield, who went out with his father, in the Vernon, four years since, as flag-lieutenant (then having about two years' seniority as a lieutenant), commanded the Comus at the affair at Point Obliged°, in the Parana, and obtained his commander's rank, came home to England, was appointed to the command of the Espiegle, at China, on the promotion of Captain Thompson, and thence to the Ringdove, on the appointment of Sir W. Hoste to the Spiteful, has been appointed by Rear-Ad miral Sir F. Collier, C. 8., the Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies, acting captain to command and to bring home the Melatnpus, 42, vice J. N. Campbell, invalided and since dead. Lieut. Robert B. Miller (1837), who has been first lieutenant of the Melampus since she was commissioned, has been appointed by Sir F. Collier, acting commander of the Ringdove, 18, on her passage to England, vice Inglefield. Masters—James Brown (1811), of the Agincourt, depot-ship of Devonport ordinary, to the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, vice Macdonald, appointed assistant master attendant at Portsmouth Dockyard; W. C. Trip hook (1840), has been selected, from among sixty-seven candidates, by the Board of Superintendence, as Go vernor of the Waterford County prison, upon a salary of 1001. per annum, with house, coals, and candles. Mates—William Henry Pym (seniority November, 1848), and Shute Barrington Piers (seniority December, 1848), passed their examinations for gunnery. at Ports mouth, on Saturday ; Thomas Hutchinson Mangles Martin, acting of the Fury steam. sloop, to be act ing lieutenant of the Medea steam-sloop, vice Quin, deceased. Commander C. Codrington Forsyth, whose promotion by the Board of Admiralty, from the rank of Haute- nant, we gave a few days since, entered the service in 1827, served in her Majesty's ship Jaseur, 18 guns, Captain Lyons, on the east coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave trade. He then joined her Majesty's ship Maidstone, 42, Commodore Sir C. U. Schombergh ; from her he removed into the Warspite, 76, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir Thomas Baker. After serving in her a short time, he was ap pointed to her Majesty's surveying sloop Beagle, under that talented officer Captain R. Fitzroy. Whilst in this vessel he assisted in the survey of the coast of South America from the River Plate to Guayaquil, including the Falk land Islands, &c., and, in conjunction with two other midshipmen, surveyed a distance of 1,700 miles of coast, in a small vessel of 14 tons, without any other assistance. He passed his examination for lieutenant in 1836, and joined her Majesty's ship Pelorus, and then proceeded to India. On this vessel's arrival on the station, a rup ture being expected with the Burmese, he was detached with her boats to Rangoon, and, by his timely arrival, saved the British Resident, Colonel Burney, and the masters of the merchant vessels, from imprisonment. The Pelorus was then ordered to Australia and New Zealand. Whilst on these coasts, Commander Forsyth made many v Linable additions to the charts by his surveys, and was sent at the particular request of Sir J. Franklin after a party of desperate convicts who had escaped from Van Diemen's Land; and after a narrow escape of his I , le, he saved part of them from destruction. In 1839 he again joined her Majesty's ship Beagle, and for more than two years did the duty of lieutenant and assistant surveyor, in command of her tender, in the survey of Bass's Straits, without receiving the pay of either officer, and was most handsomely recommended to the Admi ralty by Sir J. Franklin and Sir James Stirling, for his services on the coast of Van Diemen's Land and Western Australia. On the Beagle's return to England, in 1843, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and ap pointed to her Majesty's ship Helena, on the east coast of Africa, where he was continually away in command of her boats. On one occasion he captured an Arab slaver after some resistance, with 82 children on board, destined for the slave market at Muscat. In performing this service, nine out of the pinnace's crew died from the ef fects of fever. On the Helena's return to the Cape, the colonists being at war with the Kafiri, the troops, in con sequence of the drought and difficulty of obtaining supplies, were obliged to retreat to the mouth of the Great Fish River, where it was reported supplies might be landed, although it was much doubted from the heavy surf almost always prevailing on this dangerous coast. Lieutenant-General Sir P. Maitland applied to the senior naval officer, Captain R. Gambier, for an offi cer to superintend the debarkation of troops and stores, and survey and report on the coasts, when Commander Forsyth was selected for this service from his knowledge of surveying and landing on open coast. On his arrival there he found the troops almost destitute of provisions, which he soon succeeded in landing in large quantities, which enabled the army again to advance against the Kafirs; for this service he was strongly recommended to the Admiralty, and was officially informed by their Lordships, through Rear-Admiral Dacres, that they had made a favourable note of his name. On the arrival of Sir 11. Pottinger and Sir G. Berkeley, the troops again made a forward movement, when Commander Forsyth was requested to proceed to the mouth of the Buffalo, and report as to the possibility: of land ing stores there. On his way thither with a small es• cort, he was nearly cut off by the enemy. At this place he was again successful in landing supplies under the most dangerous and difficult circumstances. He was re peatedly recommended through the Commander-in- Chief, Rear-Admiral Dacres,' for his valuable assist ance and co-operation ; and again by Sir Harry Smith, who states in his letters to Earl Grey, had it not been for the energy and perseverance displayed by this officer in establishing these landing-places the army must have starved. He was also officially thanked by the Admiral for his valuable surveys of this coast, and the Commissary-General likewise recommended him to tho Treasury for the valuable assistance he had ren dered his department during the war. For these im portant services the Board of Admiralty have promoted him to the rank of commander. SHIPS TO BE PAID OPP. The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8., expected from Gibraltar, is to be paid off at Portsmouth, where she was fitted out. Tho Vanguard, 80, Captain Rich, expected from Gibraltar, is to be paid off at Devonport, where she was fitted out. The Juno, 26, Captain Patrick Blake, arrived home, is to be paid off at Chatham. The Harlequin, 12, Commander Seymour, expected from Lisbon, is to be paid at Devonport. The Hound, 8, Commander G. H. Wood, for some time in the West Indies, from the coast of Africa, has been ashore half-a-dozen times, and will most likely come home and be paid off. She was commissioned June, 1846. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander VVingrove, is on her way home from the West Indies, to 5e paid off, and may be hourly expected. Some time since she touched the ground whilst the commander in chief Lord Dundonald, was on board; and it has since Teen ascer tained, from the examination of a diver at Bermuda, that some portion of her keel has been carried away. She will require docking in a home port, to repa,r these and other defects. The Rhadamanthus, 2, steam-transport, Master Com- mander Aylen, is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off for re-commissioning. The Alban, 2, steam-transport, Master Commander Bradshaw, is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off into ordinary. The Juno, 26, Captain P. J. Blake, arrived off tho back of the Wight, on Friday, but the light winds and dense fog obliged her to anchor, and it was not until about noon on Saturday that she was enabled to get under weigh to come to Spithead. So soon as the wea ther cleared sufficiently for a signal to bo seen, the Vic tory telegraphed her to remain at St. Helen's, where she consequently anchored. The Myrtle steamer then went out to her and took orders for her to proceed to Chatham to pay of The Juno left Valparaiso on the Ist November, and Rio on the 14th December; from the former place she has brought a small freight (101,307 dolls.), which was put on board the Myrtle steamer, and landed at Portsmouth on Saturday evening, and for warded-.to the Bank of England by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel, freight agents at Portsea and Portsmouth, to whom it was consigned. The Juno arrived at Valparaiso on the 26th of September from Mexico. with nearly 2,000,000 dolls., with which it was expected as a matter of course she would come home, as she was over her three years in commission, but she was ordered to transfer it to the Sampson, steam-frigate; and what was more extraordinary, the Juno herself was ordered home immediately afterwards, Various accounts were abroad at Valparaiso as to the cause of this most unfar pro ceeding; it is, however, only another instance of the freight-carrying manoeuvres that have been latterly in practice in the Pacific. Priority of commission or ser vice has been most unfairly disregarded, as it appears that the Juno was on the Pacific station before the Carysfort, Grampus, or Sampson, which have all come home with large freights, had sailed from England.' The Constance, 50, Captain Courtenay, will be th e next ship from the Pacific, and the Calypso will follow her. Mr. Forster, master, late of the Gorgon, with a few invalids from the squadron, have come home pas sengers in the Juno. Lieut. Tufnell, late of the Juno, had exchanged into, and remains out in the Constance. We understand the Juno is in most admirable order, in the highest state of efficiency, and that during the time of her service of three and a half years she has been a most comfortable and happy ship both for officers and crew. The Racer, 12, Lieut.-Commander Bacon, arrived at Spithead, from Plymouth, on Friday, with supernume raries and to fit for service. The Blenheim, screw guard-ship, Captain Austin, C. 8., has been taken alongside the jetty at Portsmouth, preparatory, to going into dock to be altered and refitted. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, has been taken alongside the jetty at Portsmouth. Her lower rigging (wire) has been got over the mastheads, and she is receiving stores, &c. ; amongst which are four new brass 12-pounder guns, for the two 42-feet barges (Lord John Hay's boats), with which she is to be supplied. The Centaur, steam-frigate, Captain Buckle, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning, and an chored at Spithead, to receive her powder and shells. She sailed at four P.M. for Plymouth, where Commodore Fanshawe will join her, and hoist his broad pendant, and receive his final orders for the coast of Africa. The Sidon, 12, steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., and the Polyphemus, 4, steam-sloop, Commander Crawford, were at Gibraltar on the 27th ult., waiting the arrival of Sir C. Napier with his squadron, under whose orders both these vessels have been placed. The Sprightly, steamer, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Barnard, was paid off at Portsmouth on Wednesday, for the coast of Ireland. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—For the last three days we have had variable winds with thick foggy weather. On Friday night the fog was so dense that a bum-boat, and several other boats that had been to Spithead in the afternoon, could not find their way on shore, but were pulling about all night. Five o'clock—Westerly winds, with hazy weather. FLAGSHIPS, AND " HAUL-DOWN" PROMOTIONS.— COLLINGWOOD AND PRESIDENT.—IR the promotions of the last few weeks we find those of Lieut. Von Donop, acting commander for four months of the President, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Dacres, and Gerard Napier, flag-lieutenant for a few months to the Gallant Com mander-in-Chief at the Cape, to the rank of Commander. We believe these promotions are just, and according to the rules of the service, and no one will find fault with them; but after saying thus much we would, with all due deference, rem - ind"the Admiralty of a case that calls for the exercise of the same just rule, and that, too, to wards the flag-lieutenant of an officer as much distin- guished and - as deservedly respected in the service as Vice• Admiral Dacres. When tho Collingwood, 80, came home from the Pacific she had also an acting Com mander, who had been doing the duty for 18 months. As a matter of course the Admiralty, as in Commander Von Donop's case, deservedly promoted this officer, but to the surprise of every oue t on Sir George Seymour hauling down his flag, Mr. Kynaston, who had served as flag-lieutenant, and who was entitled to his promotion by every principle of justice, as well as by the practice and custom of the service, has not yet been advanced to that rank to which it is hoped the Admiralty will take immediate occasion to prefer him.—United Service Gaz. WOOLWICH, FELL 3.—The Heels steam-vessel, when she went down the river yesterday, in charge of Lieu tenant Robertson, assistant to Captain Austin, C. 8., with Mr. Trickett, assistant to the Cbief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Casely, Chief Engineer of Captain Austin's department, tried her speed at the measured mile at Long-reach, and was found to make on the average 9.8 knots per hour. The ,engines and other parts being found in good order, she was taken to Sheerness, and her masts and rigging will be made per fect at that port, her ultimate destination being to pro ceed to Devonport, where she will be kept in readiness for service. The Conflict steam-vessel is now ready at Sheerness, and will leave on Tuesday next for Devonport. She will take round the men paid off from the President. Previous to the Lord Mayor deciding on a harbour master for the port of London, his Lordship called at the Admiralty to ascertain from the Lords Commis sioners the most eligible naval officer to fill the situation. Their Lordships, on looking over the list of officers lying at the Admiralty, pointed out the name of Captain Caffin, late Commander of the Scourge bomb-vessel, and observed that he was an eligible and 'able officer, if he would accept of the appointment, and he now fills the situation of harbour-master to the port of London, vice Fisher, resigned.

The first two classes are formed of the principal han dicaps and stakes winners of the past year ; the third shows my opinion of the relative qualities of the Derby nags, taking my pick of last year (Tadmor and the Flying Dutchman) as the standard of excellence ; I have also added the distance most suited to each horse. The most notable facts of the past year were the victories of Fla 2i Chanticleer 2 The Hero . 2 Van Tromp 11 ; War Eagle... 2 Pyrrhus •• • 1 i Cossack ... st. lb. catcher, Glen Saddel, Peep o'day Boy, Executor, Surplice Cymba, Diplomatist, and Lady Wildair, respectively for the 2,000 Guineas, Metropolitan, Chester Cup, Somerset- shire, Derby, Oaks, Suffolk ' and Northamptonshire Stakes, and their subsequent defeats in every instance later in the season, showing clearly the " glorious un certainty of the turf." Surplice (the champion of 1848) and Chanticleer were decidedly the best horses of the year, and Canezou with out doubt the best mare. Lord Clifden was the elect of fortune, and Lord Eglinton and Colonel Peel her trainbearers ; the Colonel bad some pretty pickings from the Goodwood ham, as he likewise had at Newmarket from the first Triennial and Cambridgeshire St(e)akes. Now that I've done with Times's news, I will, as sporting counsel to your readers, lay before them my brief of the ensuing season ; in Shakspere's words I can exolaim— " I have been in continual practice ; I shall win at the odds ;" and if my past success attend me still, I may hope for the fifth year in succession to name the Derby winner. Foremost in the list of sport stands the Liverpool Steeple Chase, although it's hazardous work to tempt fortune in these ventures, as my only effort for the Wor cester Steeple Chase of last year was correct, I will again essay to select the winner. The following lot include him, or I shall miss the mark :—Chandler, 12st. 21b, ; The Curate, I Ist. 111 b. ; Proceed, 1 ; St. Leger. list. 61b. ; Mathew, Ilst. 21b. ; Brunette, list. ; Father Mathew, 10st. 131 b. ; Charm, lOst. 101 b.; Abd-el-liader, lOst 81b—Dicky Misfortune, 10st 61b—and Jerry, lOst 41h, giving the preferenceto.Proceed; the Curate or Dicky Misfortune close up, with Chandler and St. Leger handy. For the Great Northamptonshire Stakes—War Eagle, Bst 131h—Lady Wildair, Bst 61b—Eryx, Bst 61b—Mrs. Taft, 7st 51b—*Sylvan, ist 51b—*Dacia, 7st—Vesta, 7st—Abbot of Meaux, sst 51b—Loupgarou, sst 21b— Flycatcher filly, 4st 131b—Goodwood, 4st 101 b—and *ldle Boy 4st, are my pick, those asterisked for choice. For the Tuesday's Riddlesworth—Sister to Ark wright, the Column, Tadmor. The Port—Flatcatcher or Springy Jack. For the Newmarket Handicap—Canezou, Bst 71b— Mrs. Taft, 7st 316—Sylvan, 7st 31b—Keraan, 6st 71b— Westow, fist 111b—Flycatcher filly, sst 31b—Vaso, sst 11b, and Retail, 4st I llb; Sylvan or Mrs. Taft for choice.

Ca nezou, Sylvan, Dacia, and Idle Boy, for my loose cash. For the Somersetshire Stakes—Sylvan, ist 21b— Brandyface, ist ?lb—Sponge, 7st Ilb—King Hal, 6st I llb—Loupgarou, sst—ldle Boy, 4st 41b. The first two and the last against the field. For the Chester Cup—Lady Wildair, Bst—Dough, 7st 131b—Swiss Boy, 7st 111b—The Tartar, 7st 81b— Blucher, 7st 81b—Mrs. Taft, 7st 21b—Dacia, 7st 21b— John Cosser, 7st 21b—Sylvan, ist 21b—Vesta, 7st— Joe-o-Sot, Est 1 lib—Farewell, Est 101b—Reality, 6st-- Honeycomb, Est 21b—Garrick, sst 81b—Lugar, 4st 1 Olb —and Loupgarou, 4st 101 b. From the above, at the present moment, I should select Lady Wildair, Blucher, John Cosser, Dacia, Farewell, and Reality. I cannot be more particular in my choice, but will be so at the earliest opportunity. For the 2000 Guineas—Honeycomb, Uriel, Nunny kirk, and Mr. Milner are by far the best—Nunnykirk, if meant, I should prefer. For the 1000 Guineas—Escalade, or Sister to Ark wright, Highland Fling third. For the Dee Stakes at Chester—Elthiron. For the Derby—Tadmor, or the Flying Dutchman, former for choice. For the Oaks—Escalade or Sister to Arkwright read the best on paper, but there are several capital fillies in the Stakes, to wit—Highland Fling, Mirror, Glauca, Farthingale, Quinine, Philippa, and Nina, and it would not surprise me were one of this latter lot to win. Thus ends my brief, although not so brief as it might have been, take its counsel if your undecided how to act, and in the words of the immortal bard, I say. " Go, make money."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. February 2. " Dublin Castle, Jan. 26,1849. " Sir,—As the period is now approaching when the C A o c r t p t u t s tt d , l2 Victoria, cap. 35, by which th e H a b eas was suspended in this country, will expire, I feel i t 6 . 2 v daty to bring under the cons i deration of her Majesty's - Got. ernment the reasons w hi c h i nduce me to recommend the continuation of that law f or a further limited period. It was with des' regret, that on a former o ccas i on I " felt myself compelled to ask for the enactment o f thi s measure, but circumst,.„nces have since fully confirmed my opinion of its urgeila .necessity, and I can have no OD te by doubt that the course the a% a d d her Majesty's Government, and the moral effect they in prßodilulce r eceivedd b almost unanimous support which the Parliament, mainly con t r ib u t e d fe the suppression o f I the rebelli ous movement which unbsclLY broke ou t . in this country. " While availing myself of the extramdinarY power confided to m e by t h e A ct, i t has been my - earnest en deavour to limit its operation as far as possiblO and to confine the deprivation of personal liberty to the gases of those indi v id ua l s who were actually engaged in trek:son" able designs, or wbo, by encouraging the disaffected, en dangered the peace and tranquillity of the country. l'sto instance occurred of any arrest taking place except on sworn informations; no person was retained in custody longer than the public safety appeared to require; and although the number of individuals whom it was my painful duty to place in temporary confinement was con siderable, having amounted in all at different times to about 120, yet, considering the extent to which treason able organization had been carried, not only in the me tropolis, but in several counties of Ireland, the number can hardly be said to exceed what might have been anti cipated. The security afforded by the enforcement of the km, and the Conviction that. its provisions would only be ap plied against those whose conduct had rendered their [ detention absolutely necessary, has been felt by the community at large; and the restoration of order, in place of that which for a time was a reign of terror, has been hailed with universal satisfaction. But on the part of those engaged in the late treasonable move ment, no indication whatever of sorrow or repentance for their misdeeds has been observed. Their regret is confined to their failure, and their hopes are direeted to a more successful issue on the first favourable opportu nity; nor is there any reason to believe (and upon this point I have collected information from various persons on whose judgment and local knowledge I could rely) that the recent orderly conduct of the people in the dis tricts where disturbances prevailed or were threatened, proceeds from any improved feeling as regards either the law or the executive government. The total ab• sence of support of the authorities in their endeavours to suppress insurrection, the renewed attempt at re bellion in the vicinity of the town where the leaders of the movement were being brought to justice, and the disregard of proclamations requiring the surrender of arms, are facts which indicate that, however the failure of past attempts at insurrection may have weakened the confidence of the disaffected, the feeling which gave rise to and encouraged that movement still remains un changed, and would again become active upon any oc casion that appeared to offer even a distant prospect of success. " It is true that any future attempts at rebellion will be much discouraged by the failure of those which have passed, and the originators of any new agitation will have none of the prestige of success to aid, and much of the sense of past discomfiture to damp, their exertions; but still this country has been too long trained to a sys tem of agitation to be at once weaned from such a course, and nothing but a continued enjoyment of that peace, which the absence of all political excitement has now created, and improved habits it will generate, and the social advantages it will not fail to produce, can save Ireland from wasting her energies in the strife of rival factions, instead of exerting them by industry for the improvement of the country. " It is to secure for Ireland this continued repose which is so vitally essential to her prosperity— to protect the country from the renewal of an agitation for objects that cannot be attained, and which for many years has disturbed its tranquillity, scaring away capital, destroying confidence, and ren dering impossible the steady application of industry, that I desire strongly to impress on her Majesty's Go vernment the importance of applying to Parliament for a renewal of those powers which the 11 and 12 Pict. c. 35 placed at the disposal of the Executive Govern ment in Ireland. lam well aware of the grave respon sibility I incur by this recommendation, and it is with extreme repugnance that I venture to ask for the re newal of an Act which infringes the constitutional rights of any portion of her Majesty's subjects; but I think I should fail in my duty if, from any personal feelings of my own, I hesitated to state the facts which I know to be correct, or to recommend the course which I consci entiously believe to be necessary; and if her Majesty's Government should see fit to propose, and Parliament to sanction, the renewal of this Act, I trust that the manner in which it has hitherto been carried into effect, will be an earnest that its future administration will be marked by leniency and justice. "I am, Sir, with great truth and regard, " Your obedient servant, " CLARENDON. " The Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., i&c." NOTICE TO MARINERS. ABERDEEN HARBOUR LEADING LIGHTS. Harbour Office, Aberdeen, Jan. 20, 1849. The Parliamentary Commissioners of Aberdeen Har bour, having taken into consideration the existing regu lation for extinguishing the leading lights when it is dangerous for vessels to enter the harbour, have resolved to do away with the same. Notice is therefore hereby given, that, on and after Monday, the 12th day of March, 1849, the leading lights will be exhibited at all times, but that there will be a change in the colour of the lights when it is con sidered dangerous to enter the harbour. The leading lights are of a red colour, but when it is dangerous to attempt entering the harbour the lights will be of a green colour instead of red. By order of the Aberdeen Harbour Commissioners, JOHN ANGUS, Clerk. Observe—The red lights are the ordinary lights, and the green lights the danger lights. The leading lights have no reference whatever to the state of the tides, and are exhibited from sunset to sunrise. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Madeira, Jan. 10, 1849. Sir,—The quarantine regulations here have this day been modified, and vessels arriving from ports of a country in which cholera has appeared will henceforward —if in ballast or with non susceptible cargoes—receive free pratique after performing five day's quarantine, and eight days' if their cargoes are of a susceptible charac ter; but in no case to be subject to quarantine after the expiration of twenty days from the last port of depar ture, unless cholera or some contagious disorder should manifest itself during the voyage.

In case it should happen that at the period mentioned she should be in her confinement, it has been determined by the judge on that circuit, Baron Rolfe, not to postpone the trial until the next assizes in July or August, but to adjourn it for ten or twelve days, as judges have the power to do. It is very unusual for assizes to be ad journed even for a day, but as the " Widow James" is a material witness, and as the whole case excites great in terest in that part of the country, the judge has deter mined to exercise his power.
