Ebitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. COMI%IISSION OF LUNACY: ON MR. VICARS.—(THIS DAY.) The commission dire c t e d by the Lord Chancellor to inquire into the s t a t e o f mind of Mr. Edward Vicars, of Liverpool, spirit merchant, was opened to-day before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-quare. The case appeared to excite very great interest, and the court was crowded long before the time appointed for opening the commission. Mr. Rolt, Mr. Renshaw, and Mr. Wills appeared for the commission, which had been granted by the Lord Chancellor, on the application of the sister of the supposed lunatic, Miss Hannah Vicars; and Mr. Malins, Mr. James, and Mr. Jolliffe were counsel for the alleged lunatic, Mr. Edward Vicars. The Learned COMMISSIONER having stated to the jury the duties they had to perform, Mr. ROLT proceeded; to open the case to the jury a'. some considerable length. The facts stated by the Learned Gentleman will be found in the following evidence, which was adduced to the jury :—Matthew Vicars was a wine and spirit merchant at Liverpool, aid brother of Edward Vicars. The brother was about 46 years of age, and a partner with him and a person named Mcore. The brother had property to the amount of about 6,0001. His brother was fond of his glass, and was addicted to drinking. Ile first saw something strange in his brother in 1847. On one occasion he lost his luggage, anktold him he knew he should do so. On one occasion his brother told him it was no use eating, as he had no bowels, and that all he ate went into his legs ; he also said that he had no brains. He then went to an asylum, from which he escaped in October, 1848. Saw him after it at his sister's house. He conversed a great deal upon electricity, said it was the moving power of the earth; thst leaple might be made mad by it, but that he could not be played upon by it, as he was in the secret. He said he could prove, from the Scriptures, that people could be made, by electricity, mad, and that people could converse by it at any distance, and that by it he had heard voices from heaven. While his brother was in confinement he had his case investi gated by Dr. Thornby, who reported in writing upon his case ; the result of which was that witness did not like to advise his sister to release his brother The witness then proved that several letters which had been read by Mr. Reit in the course of his address to the jury were in the handwriting of his brother, in which he alluded to the power of electricity to make people mad ; that madhouse keepers were a set of thieves and rogues ; that they would soon be all put an end to, and that all the gold of California should not prevent him from putttnie an end to them. Cross examined by Mr. Mamas—His brother had travelled in the wine and spirit trade, and was at one time a very good man of business. When they began business his brother began to drink heavily. He was very fond of his glass, and was often tipsy. He did not think his brother's wife madehim a good one. She was given to drinking, and died while his brother was in a lunatic asylum. It was his sister's doing that his brother was put in a lunatic asylum. had visited Lis brother at the asylum ten or twelve times, bit had never ep Asen to him, because Dr. Litchfield had told him not to de so. On one occa. site) his brother whistled to let him know that he saw him, bat he never beckoned to him, or called to him to come to him. His brother was always well c!otteni when he went to see him.: His bro ther on one occasion, after he had escaped from the asylum, said th.t he had pledged himself before God and man to do away with lunatic asylums, and he would either coequer or die. They had lent a person of the name of Birchenoff, who kept the Royal Railway Hotel at Liverpool, 5001, and the part that Mr. Birchenoff had taken in endeavouring to release his brother from the lunatic asylum had hastened on the demand they had made for the repayment of that sum. An arrangement was made in 1845, by which his brother was not to attend to business, but his account was to be charged with 1751. a year to pay a clerk, which was charged against him during the whole time he was in a lunatic asylum. Witness had refused to advance his brother any money to oppose the commission, but had done so to his sister in support of it. The rea son he refused to do so was because he thought his brother was not sane. Since the Lord Chancellor had ordered the commission he had advanced 2001. John Bristowe, of Broughton Furness, knew Mr. Edward Vicars well. Ile used to drink freely. In 1846 he was called to see Mr. E. 'Vicars, the servant telling him her master was going mad. Mrs. Vicars told him that Mr. Vicars had run down a steep place into the river. When witness saw Mr. Vicars he was in bed praying, and scratches were on his body. Mr. Atkinson, the surgeon, was sent for, and on his coming, he said, let him get out of bed. Mr. E. Vicars then got out of bed, and attempted to get out of the a indow, but witness and Mr. Atkinson prevented him. He then got into bed again, and began to pray, and he continued in that state for a week. Oa one occasion he told witness he had been to ht it ; that he had had a very pleasant journey; that he touched at a very nice island ; that they found the old hell was full, but there were two new ones which were very pleasant. On another occasion when witness called upon Mr. E. Vicars, he said he was very glad to see him, as he was going to die at six o'clock that evening, and he wanted to tell him what to do about his funeral. He took out his watch and said he had only an hour or two to live. Witness said he must go, when Mr. E. Vicars said he had better stop till he was dead. Witness went away, and when he returned he found Mr. E. Vicars making a good supper. The witness then alluded to other acts of singularity committed by Mr. E. Vicars, particularly his refusal to take food, which he perse vered in for upwards of a week, and reduced himself a'most to a skeleton. On one occasion witness went with Mr. E. Vicars to Liverpool : be did not speak for the first 20 miles, but on the occasion of witness getting out of the carriage, Mr. Vicars said no earthly power should remove him from the carriage, and it was with the greatest difficulty he was got out. He was afterwards taken to a lunatic asylum, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. On one occasion he told witness that a whole workhouse might be made mad by electricity. On another occasion he said he would fight fur the lunatics as long as he lived, and would spend all the money he had for them. Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—After Mr. Vicars had been taken to the asylum witness sold all his furniture, by order of Mr. M. Vicars. Hail refused to give;an accountito the attorney of Mr. E Vicars of the sale of his furniture, stating that he was indemnified in what he did by Mr. M. Vicars. Witness considered electricity thunder and lighteing.—(Laughter.) The drinking habits of his wife witness believed had made Mr. E. Vicars unhappy. A few days before Mr. E. Vicars' illness he had been hunting and drinking. Witness had not said that Mr. E. Vicars was mad from drink. Mr. Atkinson had said in witness's presence that Mr. E. Vicars must be kept away from his wife, for her drunken habits made him mad. The place Mr. E. Vicars ran to in the river would not take him up to his knees. Mr. E. Vicars had never told him, to the best of his recollection, that he had been shut up in a ward,with a man who was mad upon the subject of electricity. Mr. W. Atkinson, was a surgeon, practising in Broughton Furness. Had known! Mr. E. Vicars for more than twenty-seven years. Had often seen him too much excited by drink. This witness corroborated the evidence of the last witness with respect to the attempt of Mr. E. Vicars to throw himself out of the window. Witness thought it was right he should be removed to a lunatic asylum, and he appeared to him to have settled down into a species of monomania. The case was proceeding when our reporter left, and appeared likely to last till a late hour. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, Auo. 20, 1849.

The Deutsche Zeitung announces the condemnation and execution, at Rastadt, of M. Boning, one of the leaders of the Baden insurrection. He was shot on the 17th instant. M. Boning was a native of the duchy of Nassau, and the oldest of the insurgent chiefs. He was the leader of the Swiss Free Corps, and equally implicated in the former insurrections which had disturbed the peace of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The same paper announces the execution of Charles Hofer, a schoolmaster from Altendorf, who was shot at Mannheim on the 16th inst. He too had been a leader of the Badish insurgents, and by his terrorism he compelled the population of his district to enlist in the revolutionary army, and oppose the advance of the Prussian troops. 1 - 11 - JN GA RY. We have received a letter from our Hungarian correspondent, dated Szegedin, the 24th of July. This communication, which we give below, puts us, at last, in possession of a clear and coherent account of Hungarian operations from the 6th to the 24th of that month. It disposes of the rubbishy bulletin attributed to Dembinski and to others of a similar stamp, which previously and since have issued from the Hamburg mint. It shows us the real position and prospects of Dembinski up to the 24th of last month; and by recapitulating the antecedents of Georgey, confirms and explains the account of his victory over Grabbe on the 28th of July. That victory is, we see, now admitted by the Vienna papers. The Ost Deutsche Presse of the 15th of August states, that it has learned on good authority, " that General Grabbe has been driven back upon Comorn by Georgey." From the 24th of July darkness again falls over the events in the region of Szegedin, and from the 28th upon those in the vicinity of Onod. We stated yesterday our reasons for suspecting the bulletins of sth and Bth of August, attributed to Haynau, to be apocryphal. Intelligence respecting Georgey, which we have since received by way of Warsaw, appears to us of an equally questionable character, but our duty as impartial chronicl ers o f th e news f the day is to communicate what we hear, warning our readers whenever we may entertain doubts as to its correct ness. According to the Warsaw intelligence, a great battle had been fought at Nagy-Karoly, between Georgey and Paskiewitch, in which the Russians had the better, and took 6,000 prisoners. The date of this battle is not specified in our despatches, but it would appear to have taken place (if it all) about the 9LII of August. Nagy-Karoly is about fifty English miles E.N.E. of Debreczin, and seventy to the S.E. of Tokay. Georgey is represented as retreating before Grabbe and Osten Sacken, in a southerly direction, while Tcheodajeff, with the 4th corps, preceded Pas kiewitch, through Debreczin, to cut him off from the road to Grosswardein. Nagy-Karoly is the point at which the roads from Debreczin and Tokay meet, and no doubt Gorgey would be, if defeated. as the last Russian bulletin gives out, compelled to fall back on Transylvania by the road of Nemethi Szatmar and Nagy- Banya. One reason why we suspect this news to be fabri cated is the utter want of any apparent motive for Gorgey to advance to Nagy Karoly. Another is the fact that while our Warsaw informant attributes to this reported victory the 101 guns fired at` Varsav; on the 13th of August, and the orders issued to sing Te Deunz in all the churches of the empire, the Vienna jeurnals which notice these rejoicings either specify no cause for them, or attribute them to the victory claimed by the Ruisians for Luder over Beni. His Excellency M. Van de Weyer, Minister Plenipotentiary for Belgium, and the Countess of Van 2ent•erg, arrived on Saturday at St. Katberirm's-wharf by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Triton from Ostend.

BOROUGU, AUGUST 20.—0 n Friday evening the first pocket of new hops arrived at market, the growth of Mr. Henry Smith, of Etchingham, t•lussex. On the following day another pocket arrived from Mr. Henhain, of East Peckham, Kent. The Sussex pocket sold at 101., and the Kent pocket at 11/. 4s. per cwt. The picking will not generally commence before the 20th of September. The accounts from Mid K en t t hi s morn i ng come muc h worse . Th e mould is m a ki ng sa d havoc in many of the best grounds. D ur i ng th e past week there have b een large sales o f have a fi rm market to -d a y, an d l as t wee k' s p r i ces yearlings (1848) and old hops. We fully supported. The duty estimated at 65,000/. to 70,0001. MAIDSTONE. —The mould is rapidly increasing, even in some of the best grounds, which are " platty," the small hops showing no disposition to grow. The cold nighls are much against them. CRANBROOK.—The plant does not in general pre sent si promising an appearance as reported in our las t. The high winds have beaten the bine severely, and the coldness of the atmosphere has very much retarded its growth. The whole of the plantation still remains in a state of fluctuation, with the chances against it. Thoee whose opiniors wa last week stated to be in favour of 80.0001. duty, do not now feel so sanguine on the matter. _ _ hnpi are fir this last week. Our crop will be very short this year. The greater part of our ground will not do anything. In HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE.—The High Level Bridge over the Tyne at Newcastle was opened for the passage of trains on Wednesday last, the morning mail train south being the first that passed. There is only one line of the permanent rails laid, but the other is in a forward state. The carriage way is also just rpproaching completion, and in a few months it is expected the entire structure will be made available for public use. The Government inspector visited and inspected the bridge on Saturday, when several weighty trains passed over, and he expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the nature and security of the work. The passenger trains, which previously passed along the temporary wooden stage erected alongside the bridge, now pass along the bridge itself. The general character of both the mason and metal work of this magnificent structure is of the most solid and substantial kind. The mason work was let by contract to Messrs. Rush and Lawton, the firm having been extensive contractors on various lines where the works had required strength and solidity in the mason work, dispatch in the execution, and a careful superintendence. These n quisites have not been ne glected with regard to this noble structure. The con tract for the metal and iron work was let to Messrs. Ilawks, Crawshay, and Co., in which they were assisted by the firms of Messrs. Losh, Wilson, and Bell, and J. Abbot and Co. The bridge consists of six arches, each having a span of 125 feet, with two curved approaches of about sixty-six feet in length, formed of ca,t iron pillars and bearers, from the design of R. Stephenson, Esq. Messrs. Losh and Co. executed the castings for the approaches, and Messrs. Abbott and Co. the arches. The stipulated price was about 120,0001. The arches are circular, and made of cast iron, the whole weight of which is above 6,000 tons. The railway is carried over the banks of the arches in the usual manner, and below this is formed, by suspension, a carriage and foot road for the convenience of vehicles and foot passengers. This portion of the bridge, however, will not be com pleted in less than another month, the workmen being busily engaged in laying down the wood pavement.— Newcastle Journal. DUNBAR HERRING FISHING, AUG. 18.—Yesterday the fishing was a fair average, but this morning it is lighter. To-day, however, is no criterion, as many of the stranger boats leave ou Saturday for home, to bark nets, &c. Prices will keep good, generally above lOs. per cran, and, if anything, there is en increase in the csdg' r trade. Every morning a special train of consi derable length, sornetiwes with two engines, leaves for E linburgh and the west.—Cakdo;iiuu Mercury. Praise is a rebuke to the man whose conscience alloweth it not.—Elizct Cook's Journal. a few partial grounds we may get 10 cwt. per acre. Duty 65,0001. WEST MALLING.—Some few grounds have im proved in appearance, where the burr has come into hop and shows its€lf, while others look as black and drooping as blight can make them, and not having strength to force the burr. Mould is increasing. If they are not much better at other places, we cannot see how the present estimated duty is to be realised. EAST MAILING.—We cannot report any percep tible improvement in the blighted grounds; but in the more favoured gardens there is decidedly an im provement, No mould to notice., WROTHAAL—The hops present a very unfavourable appearance in this parr, and there is not so much as any appearance of burr on many of them. BRENCHLEY.—Our hops continue very bad, with the exception of a few favourite pieces. We shall not average two pockets per acre. YALDING.—Our hops are getting on favourably in the good grounds, but the bad are past all recovery. BIDDENDEN AND SMARDEN.—The hops are making but slow progress. The bine is very short, and but little burr. The hops come out slowly, the cold nights being much against them. A bet has bean made that Smarden will not average Li cwt. per acre ; they have improved a little since the bet was made. EDENBRIDGE.—There is ft slight improvement visible. The wind and cold nights are very much against them, but still the burr i.T getting into hop. nuasTaREEN.—We can quote no general impreve ment in hops this week. Many seem to stand still and not yet out into hop, while .a few are improved , and many get worse. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, AUG. 20.—The very best grounds are progressing pretty favourably, but the hot days and cold nights do not favour the blighted and backward plantations. Duty for the district supposed to be over rated at 4,0001.; last year it realised 12,9001. oac ESTER, AUG. 15.—The Worcester Journal says the duty is laid at 7,0001. to 8,0001. , _ PAT MENT OF THE HOP DUTT.—The day fixed for the payment of the first instalment of the postponed duty is the 15th October. The second instalment is pay-able on the 15th November.—Maidstone Gazette of this day. EXTRAORDINARY COMBAT. Captain Rochfort, of the British and Irish Corn , pany's screw-vessel Rose, arrived at Dublin lately from London, and reported having on his passage fallen in with a whale of large dimensions, on a Sun day morning, at two o'clock, seven miles south-west of the Lizard. This monster of the deep was suffer ing severely at the time in an encounter with trio well-known enemies of his tribe—a sword-fish and a thresher. These formidable creatures generally go together through the waters, and are reputed to be joined in a league of unrelenting enmity against the cetaceous animals. Captain Rochfort and the crew saw the combat for about three quarters of an hour, but being obliged to continue their voyage home wards, they had to forego the pleasure of witnessing the struggle to its close, and of taking in tow to Dublin the body of the vanquished whale, for of his being eventually worsted in the affray there was no doubt whatever. The sword-fish was seen once driving his tremendous weapon into the belly of his victim, as he turned on his side in agony. The thresher fastened on his back and gave him terrific blows, which were heard at a distance with great dis tinctness. The latter not having any power to strike in the water, it was the instinctive policy of the sword fish to make the attack from below; this causing the whale to rise above the surface, which he did at times to a remarkable height, the other assailant, which was about 20 feet long, then dealt out his blows unsparingly, with all the force of his lengthy frame—between them their victim must have suffered extremely ; he spouted Wood to an immense height, and crimsoned the sea all around to a considerable distance. Being within 200 yards of the ship.; to which the whale appeared to make for protection, the conflict was dis tinctly visible to all on board, who regretted it was not permitted them to await the issue, and carry off the prize from epicurean whalers, whose palates are satisfied, notwithstanding all their labours, with the tongue of their unwieldy antagonist, upon which alone they condescend to feast, leaving the carcass to some coarser appetite, or, as it may be hoped in this instance, to some lucky fishermen, whose toil in se curing it will be well repaid. It is considered un usual for marine animals, such as were engaged in the struggle now narrated, to be seen in such a lati tude. But this point must be settled by naturalists. —Dublin Mail. EXTENSIVE BANK FORGERIES IN MANCHESTER. An extensive forgery on the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank has just been discovered. Two men implicated in the felony have been appre hended, and it is supposed that the investigations which are about to be commenced will lead to the discovery of a number of serious forgeries upon the same company. The circumstances connected with the present case are, that on the 20th ult., in conse quence of an advertiiement which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, a person named Lindley applied for a situation, and received an answer appointing a meeting with the writer (a Mr. Robinson, who at that time called himself Openshaw), at the Stork Hotel, in that town. After that meeting a further in. terview took place at the Cora Exchange, in Manches ter, at which Robinson, after giving Lindley two letters, the one to post and the other to deliver, gave him a cheque upon the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank for 337/. 15s desiring him to get it cashed. This Lindley did, and returned with six 501. notes the re mainder of the amount being in gold. The notes, at Ro • binson's request, were subsequently turned into gold at the Bank of England, and Robinson pocketed the money without taking the trouble to count it. At another interview, a few days afterwards, Robinson offered Lindley a situation, but requested him to re turn to Liverpool, promising to communicate with him upon the subject, and giving him money to de fray his expenses. On the Tuesday following Lind ley began to suspect from various circumstances that he had been duped, and, having called at the branch bank in Liverpool, he there related the above circum stances, and an investigation took place. The cheque purported to have been drawn by Messrs. Collinson and Simpson, brewers in Manchester, who have an account with the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, and it has been pronounced by Mr. Simpson to he a forgery—and a remarkably clever one—of his handwriting. The circumstances were communi cated to the detective police, and on Friday last Robin son was apprehended by one of the Liverpool detec tive force in the shop of a man named Macauley, who was supposed to be an accomplice. They were taken into custody, and examini d before the magis trates on the following (Saturday) morning. Ro binson was clearly identified, and a young ►nan of the name of M'lntire related another instance of having been duped by the same individual. Macauley, however, did not seem to be implicated in the charge beyond having been seen in the hotel with Robinson and also at the bank when M'lntire was cashing another cheque, which Robinson had given to him under circumstances precisely similar to those detailed in the case of Lindley. We understand that the above is only one of a series of forgeries which have been recently committed, and from which the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank has been a sufferer to a considerable amount—pro bably not less than from 1,2001. to 1,5001. The prisoners have been remanded to afford time for insti tuting further inquiries into the sulject. MORTALITY IN THE WANDS- WORTH-ROAD. Yesterday the adjourned inquest on the body of the Rev. Thomas llarriFon, aged sixty-one, who died of cholera, and a report of the first day's pro ceudings at which inquest appeared in The Sun of Tuesday last, was held at the William IV., Wands worth-road. It will be remembered that no less than twenty-three persons had died of cholera in Albion terrace, together with the whole of the deceased's family and establishment, save one servant, who is now doing well. Mr. Willings, of Heath-street, Hampstead, sur geon, said, he was first called to see the deceased on Thursday week, at the Jack Straw Castle, Hampstead. He complained of nausea and pin in the stomach, and stated that several of his family had died of cholera, and he had removed to get out of the way, for he would never live there egain. Witness ordered some medicine, but in the morning was sent for again. The deceased had then cramps and was in a state of collapse, the pulse scarcely perceptible, and the ex tremities cold; there was also a profuse cold perspi ration. He adopted the hydropathic system, and him placed in a wet sheet, with seven or eight cover ings of blankets. In less than half an hour re-action took place, and instead of being cold he complained of great perspiration. After remaining in this state for two hours diarrhea came on, and then followed all the other symptoms of Asiatic cholera he bad ever witnessed, and he died at two o'clock. In answer to the jury the witness said that his belief was that the deceased's whole system was im pregnated with cholera, and he was labourino• ' under heavy grief at the loss he had sustained in his family. At the time witness first saw him he was making his will, and was perfectly sensible and composed. He was dictating to M. Maxwell what to write. The COR — ONEE.—Did he attribute the illness to any particular cause f—The witness said he stated that in his belief it arose from bad drainage add impure water. Mrs. lloughton, the nurse, who had been called in at Albion-terrace on Tuesday week, when the cook and nurse died, said that Mr. Hirrison, the decased, desired they would drink no more of the water. It had been bd ever since the storm on the 26th of last month. The cook said she thought it was the water that had caused the illness. There was also a great smell from the drains, especially in the front kitchen. Mr. Maxwell, who had lived in the adjoining house, and said he was an attorney, deposed that on Tuesday week he went in to see the Rev. Mr. Harrison, and then he told him Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Edwards were dying. He stayed with him all night, and on the Wednesday morning deceased asked if he would go with him to some place, for he would not stay there. A fly was procured, and at six o'clock they went to Jack Straw's Castle at Hampstead. He was there taken ill (as given in Mr. Willing's evidence), and requested witness to write his will, which he (lid. To the jury—He had left witness a legacy of 1001. Dr. Milroy, who is an inspector under the Board of Health, had sent a report to the coroner of his ex amination of those houses, to which his attention had been specially called, and which has in substance already appeared. It referred particularly to the ex halation from the drains and their proximity to the tanks for the supply of water, and that after the late storm, from some deficient drainage or overflowing of the sewer, the contents, or a part, had been taken into the tanks. Mr. Grant, the assistant-surveyor to the Commis sioners of Sewers for the district, was examined at great length, and produced samples of the water he had found in the tanks, which were frightful to look at; and he said, that in some of them there were seven or eight inches of sediment. Other water was also shown, which was perfectly clear. lie considered that from some overflowing of the sewer or the bad drainage the soil had got into the well from which the houses are supplied. He had no reason to think the water itself was bad, but that it had been contaminated. Dr. Milroy's report stated, that in the first house where the epidemic commenced the cellar was swarm ing with filth and maggots, amounting altogether to some cartloads. After a very long deliberation, the jury returned a special verdict to the following effect :—" That the deceased died of Asiatic cholera, and that the disease broke out only in one place where the drainage was very defective ; also that a large quantity of filth was allowed to accumulate at one or more of the houses ; also that the tanks and the water in them were im pure from their close proximity to the cesspools; and the jury could not separate without expressing a hope that the owners of the prcperty would take immediate and effective means, by improved drainage and a different supply of water, to prevent for the future, as fir as huma❑ means can go, the recurrence of so terrible a calamity." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Two clerks, 1.. N ~ late of ships on the Brazil station, have been dismissed their respective appointments by Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert for gross misconduct on shore at Rio and in the court of justice at that place. On their arrival here last week they were transferred as pri soners to the Victory, to await the decision of the Lords of the Admiralty as to their punishment. They have since been dismissed the navy. Her Majesty's yacht Fairy, .faster Commander D. N. lire:ch, has performed some wonders in :team ing since she left this with the royal squadron for Cork. She made that run, it will be recollected, in twenty-eight hours. On the return to this port last week she left Greenock on Thursday at 2 r.m,, and arrived at Milford Haven at 3 30 on Friday (280 miles!), worked expansively the whole of the way. She left Milford at 9 A.M. on Saturday, and arrived, here at 2 P.M. yesterday. She has displayed extra ordinary capabilities during the royal cruise, and in a very heavy sea, crossing from Belfast to Lough Ryan, she was the admiration of the whole squadron The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master Com mander Cook, arrived here last evening, from Scot land, and came into harbour. The Grampus, 50, was taken out of the sea-basin, after a thorough refit, this morning, and removed to moorings alongside the Camperdown. The Flying Fish, 12, Commander Paley ; and the Elfin, Royal dispatch yacht, Master Commander Bal liston, were taken into the sea basin this morning— the former to have her copper cleaned. By the last dates from India we are informed that the health of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, the Commander-in-Chief of the India and China station, was improving. He was on his way from Singapore to Trincomalee in June, having sailed from the former for the latter place on the 9th of June. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 18.—On going up Hamoaze this morning the Lords of the Admiralty landed on and inspected Bull's Point, where it is in contemplation to erect a powder magazine in lieu of the powder works at Keyham, which must be shortly aban doned to permit the completion of the steam yard there. Bull's Point is on the eastern bank of Hamoaze, into which it abuts about a mile north of the present powder works. It was purchased some years since by the Board of Admiralty when the Board of Ordnance abandoned Keyham, but, after the purchase, it was discovered that the protection of a powder magazine at Bull's Point by a military guard so far distant from head-quarters presented a considerable obstacle to the completion of the arrange. ments between the two boards. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Black Eagle arrived from Portsmouth this morning to wait upon the First Lord and the other Lords of the Admiralty yet here. Their Lordships are expected to leave for Pembroke on Monday. The Sphynx steam sloop and Ranger brig sailed yesterday for Portsmouth. AuG. 19.—Her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Capt. Wise, slipped her moorings in the Sound at ten o'clock this morning, under three topsails and jib. On rounding the east end of the breakwater she lowered her courses and hoisted topgallant sails, spanker, and royals. When outside she hauledup close to the wind, which was very light from the northward and west ward, and for some time lay becalmed, with her head south, off the eastern arm of the breakwater. At one o'clock she was a league and a half from Rame Head, and being thus clear of the coast, she shortly obtained the full advantage of the land breeze, and aided by a strong ebb tide, was soon after out of sight. It is un - usual for a first-rate to enter or leave this port by the eastern channel. The Queen is bound to Malta, touching at Gibraltar. The Persian brig arrived this morning from Woolwich.

DANGER OF PREMATURE INTERMENT.-011 the morning of Saturday last, a young lad of the name of Pendrith joined the juvenile teetotal excursion party which left Edinburgh for Hopetoun House. The day was an exceedingly unfavourable one, and many of the • youths suffered much from the effects of the rain. Pen drith was one of these. On returning with the party in the evening, he soon after went to lied, without anything being done to check the effects of a damp skin, and an the Sabbath morning he was seized with all the apparent symptoms of cholera. Singularly enough, Pendrith's father (who was a blacksmith, we believe, and residing in Greenside), and also his mother, died of cholera dur ing their son's absence, or immediately after his return, and were promptly interred. On the Sunday young Peudrith was taken to the Infirmary, and some parties who made inquiry in the course of the day as to how the lad was, got for answer, or imagined that they got for answer, that he had died. It i s a ffi rmed by those ac quainted with the eircurnAancer, that Pendrith, imme diately after his supposed decease, was conveyed to the dead-house, and there the body remained for a number of hours. A coffin having, in due course, been prepared, Pendrith was on the eve of being quietly depesia d in it, when, lel he gave indications of still being in life! We need scarcely say that the b , uting- of the pulse and heart surprie ,, el th ~ .(3 in attendance.. I{,- , toratives being em• plop d, PendriJi gradually recovered, 'and now he is so far himself again that he expects being out of the Infir mary in a few days,—k dinburgh News. Dividend per Asinum.
