to?rlif SUN OFFICE, Seven d Clock. QUEEN'S BENCH;.—(THIS DAY.) No causes of the slightest public interest were heard up to the rising of the Court, shortly after four. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) TULLY V. HOFFMAN. Mr. M. CHAMBERS said, in this case, which was tried in Surrey at the last assizes, and a verdict found for the defendant, he, on the part of the plaintiff, had to move for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection with respect to the number of days' demurragelwhich the Lord Chief Baron directed the jury the plaintiff was entitled to receive. This was an action for demurrage in respect of a certain quantity of manganese which had been con veyed from Amsterdam to London by a vessel called The Friends. This vessel was what is called a general ship, and she was laden at Amsterdam with a quantity of manganese in the centre of the vessel, with potatoes at each end, and with some rushes on the top of the manganese and potatoes. The bill of lading, with respect to the manganese, stated that " the goods and merchandize w ere to be taken out of the said ship in ten running days after her arrival at the port of London, or 80s. per day demurrage to be paid." The potatoes were con signed to another party, and they were consigned to Hayes' wharf. The vessel arrived at Black wall on the 21st December, 1848, when her arrival in the port of London was reported, and on the 22d, at eight in the morning, she came up to London, and was moored at the Union pier of the London Docks. As between the con signee of the potatoes and the Captain there was a dispute as to what wharf the vessel should go to, she had been consigned to Hayes' wharf, but at the end of five days, by the direction of the assignee of the potatoes, she went to Beale's wharf. The man ganese was not begun to be unladen for three or four days after that, and was ended on the Bth of January, eight days after her arrival at the Union pier. The action was therefore brought for eight days' demur rage at 4/. a day. The question was whether the arrival of the vessel at Hayes' wharf was her arrival in the port of London within the meaning of the h irter party. The COURT unanimously- refused the application. THE PARRICIDE AT CHISWICK . COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER. HA MMERSMITH POLICE COURT.— (THIS DAY.: Henry Bathurst Monkhouse, the young man charged with having attempted to murder his own father by firing a pistol at him, was examined again to-day, before Mr. Beadon. He does not appear to have suffered much from his incarceration, but although his complexion looked healthy and florid, there was a tinge around his eye that clearly indicated his mind was but ill at ease. He bears a striking resemblance to his father, whose features have also a florid com plexion, and anything but an unhealthy appearance. While his father was giving his evidence the prisoner turned his eyes away from him, as if he was anxious to avoid a recognition, but the father closely scruti nized the exterior of his son with a melancholy ex pression of countenance. The prisoner paid great attention to the evidence as it went on, and cast occasional glances at the bullet and neck tie when they were produced by the medical witness and Lid on the table before the magistrate. The centre of the tie was smeared with clotted blood, and slightly singed in the Fart where the bullet had passed through. Mr. Bird, the solicitor of Hammersmith, who is intimately acquainted with the Monkhouse a' ten& t on behalf of the unfortunate young man. Mr. Bird, however, is not the Mr. Bird referred to in a paragraph that has gone the round of the pipers, stating that he had refused to give up a deed intrusted to him by the prisoner unless he was paid a certain turn of money. . At two o'clock Mr. Beadon took his seat on the bench, and immediately afterwards the prisoner was brought into court by Mr. Inspector decks, and placed in the deck, when the evidence was gone into, as follows : William Anderson, the driver of the cab No. 815, was the first witness examined—He stated that he resided at No. 2, Size-yard, Whitechapel. On Thursday evening, the 4th of October last, between seven and eight o'clock, he was on the rank in the Minories, when the prisoner came up and engaged him to Chiswick for 144. The prisoner did not appear quite sober. They went into a public-house together opposite the stand, and the prisoner entered the parlour. After witness had partaken of a glass of rum, which the prisoner had ordered for him, he went into the parlour, where he saw the prisoner with his hand on some silver, which was lying on the table, which induced him to observe to the landlady, " he seems to have a good deal of money about him." They then proceeded on the journey, and on the way they looked in at several public-houses on the road. They called at the White Horse, in High street, Knightsbridge, where the prisoner appeared to be known, and where they had some more drink. The prisoner said something to a female at the bar about giving her some rent, and having left his hand kerchief with her as a pledge that he was in earnest abut bringing the rent, they resumed their journey, still stopping at public-houses OR the way, and drink ing at each. When they came to the Black Lion, in Black Lion-lane, they stopped again. The prisoner spoke to the landlady, who seemed to know him, and witness had something to drink, but he did not see the prisoner have any. It was brandy they had. The prisoner then got up on the box of the cab and directed witness where to drive to, and when they came to Mr. Monkhouse's residence the prisoner requested witness to get down, ring the bell, and ask if Mr. Monkhouse was at home. If he was, witness was to say there was a gentleman from London at the gate who wished to see him. Witness did as he was told, and a female answered the door. He asked if Mr. Monkhouse was at home, and she said " Yes," when he told her there was a gentleman from town who wished to speak to him. The female closed the gate, and after being absent for a few minutes she returned, when the prisoner came up, and rushed past her, disregarding her statement that he must SE nd in his name, observing, " I will go in and see him myself." The prisoner then went in and closed the gate after him, and witness returned to his cab. Shortly afterwards he heard a report of fire arms, and the prisoner then joined him in the cab, directing him to drive on. Witness asked him " What as as that noise I heard," and he said, smilingly, " Oh, that's nothing," or words to the effect of " that's not here." Witness then drove to a public house in the main road, and there asked the prisoner to settle with him, when he said he wanted to go to Ealing. Witness replied that he could not go as it was his time home. The prisoner said " You must, and I will give you a sovereign altogether." Witness ultimately agreed to go, and took him to the Bell, at Ealing, where they had some more brandy, and then, at the prisoner's request, witness drove him to a house up the lane, where witness believed the pris mer's bro • ther resided. The prisoner rung the bell several times, but receiving no answer, they returned to the public house, and he asked the landlord to give wit ness a sovereign. The landlord refused, and while they were talking about the fare the constable came up and took him into custody. Elizabeth Barnes, housemaid in the service of Mr. Jehn Farmer Monkhouse, the gentleman shot at, was the next witness examined She stated that she knew the prisoner, who was the second son of her master. On Thursday night, the 4th of October last about ten o'clock, she heard a ring at her master's gate bell, when she went out and saw the last witness, who asked if Mr. Monkhouse was at home. She replied, yes, and asked the cabman his name. He said, " Here's a gentleman from town wants to see him." She left the man at the gate, closed it, and as she approached the house, which was about five or six yards from the gate, she saw her master standing on the threshold. She told him there was a gentleman from town wished to see him, and he told her to go and ask his name. She went back, opened the gate, and asked the cabman the gentleman's name. The cabman hesitated a moment or so, and all at cnce the prisoner rushed forward from the side of the cabman, nearly knocking her down, and said— " I am a Monkhouse and I will speak to him." He rushed forward to the house, and she immediately afterwards heard two reports as of fire-arms. She saw two flashes and smoke close to her master. At the first shot she observed her master fall, and at the second shot th e pr i soner returne d , an d say i ng i l "fhere !" bounded past her and ran out of the premises. She ran into the house, where she saw her master crawling on his hands and knees towards the parlour with blood upon his throat. &he and her mistress assisted lahn into the parlour. He was after wards removed to a bedroom, and then Mr. Perfect, a surgeon, was sent for. , About a wee k b e f ore the prisoner was at her masters home, and she heard him say to her master, stamping his foot upon the ground, " This is the last time I will ever cross the threshold of your door." John Farmer Monkhonse, of Chiswick Mall, Chis wick, gentleman, the frither of the prisoner, deposed as follows :—The prisoner is my son. On Thursday night, the 4th of October, about ten o'clock, I heard a ring at my gate bell. I went to the front door when the maid went to the gate, and I then heard a man say " a gentleman from London wishes to see Mr. Monkhowe." Immediately after I heard my son, the prisoner say, '.I am a Monkhouse," and he rushed up to where I was standing arel shot me. I fell and heard a second shot. It was so momentary that I did not observe anything particular. It was previous to my falling that I heard the two shots. Mr. Thomas William Camberlain Perfect, the medical gentleman who was called in to see Mr. Monkhouse after he was shot, stated that he found that gentleman vomiting blood, and ordered him to be immediately put to bed. Upon examining the neck, he found that a ball had passed through his neck-tie, and perforated the flesh, passing by the thyroid carti lege of the neck, at the centre of the most projecting point of the wind-pipe. It did not penetrate the air tube, but passed up on the right of the neck, and through the throat, wounding the gullet, striking against the cervical vertebrae, and apparently descending between the external and internal carotid arteries, in the direction of the sternomastoideal muscle, and coming out at the back of the neck, just above the clavical posterior part, lodging in the shirt collar. He produced the bullet, together with the collar and stock which Mr. Monkhouse wore at the time. Henry Reason, one of the mounted police, T 247, deposed to having received information on the night in question of Mr. Monkhouse having been shot at, and to tracing the cab to the Bell Inn at Ealing. He there saw th prisoner, and ask€d him if his name was not Monkhouse. The prisoner told him that it was not, but witness told him that he answered the description of the person he was after and he must go with him. Witness then took bim to the Ealing police-station, where he searched him and found the barrel of a pistol in his right-hand coat pocket, and the stock in the lefthand pocket, together with eight bullets and about thirteen caps, all of which he now produced. There was some loose powder in the inside pocket of his great coat. He examined the pistol and found that it had been recently discharged, and while doing so the prisoner observed, " If I had a brace of loaded pistols I would blow my own brains out." He then took him to the Hammersmith police-station. On the Sunday night following, from information he received, he went to Mr. Williams, at Ealing, the landlord of the public-house, and there received a powder-flask containing gunpowder, and a second pistol, both of which he also produced. The pistol appeared to have been recently fired. Mr. William Williams, the landlord of the Bell Inn, at Ealing, stated that he knew the prisoner by sight, and recollected his coming to his house on Thursday night, the 4th of October. He came into witness's kitchen between eight and nine o'clock, where witness was sitting, and took from his pockets two pistols and a small packet of powder, which he laid on a table. Witness took them up and placed them in a drawer. At that moment some person called from the bar and witness went to answer the call ; when he returned to the kitchen the prisoner had a pistol in his hand, and he said to him, "Do not take these things from the drawer again, as it is very improper to have such things in a room." At that moment he was called to the bar egain, and in going there he met the officer Reason in the passage. The officer said, will you allow me to go into the kitchen, and he replied " Cer tainly, by all means." The officer then went in and arrested the prisoner. On the Sunday following the officer called again, and he handed to him the second pistol and packet of powder, which had already been produced. Mr. Edward Halford, surgeon, of Hammersmith, the medical attendant of Mr. Monkhouse's family, stated that on the 4th of October, late in the evening, he was called in to see Mr. Monkhouse. He found him suffering from a wound in the neck, which seemed to have been produced by a pistol shot. He continued to attend him, and for about a fortnight Mr. Monkho use was in imminent danger. The wound was now healed, but Mr. Monk • house was not yet perfectly recovered. Mr. BEADON asked if the bullet of the second pistol had been found ? Mr. Inspector Jecks intimated that it had lodged in the ceiling of the passage, from which it had not been extracted. This was the case against the prisoner. Mr. BEADO then asked the prisoner if he hail anything to say now that he had heard all the evi dence against him, giving him the usual caution that he was not bound to say anything unless he choose, but that if he did it would be taken down in writing, and might be used against him on the trial. The prisoner made no reply, but Mr. Bird inti mated that he would reserve his defence till the trial. The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing Old Bailey sessions, and was removed in custody of Mr. Inspector Jecks, to whom great credit is due for the skilful manner in which the case was got up. The court during the investigation was crowded with most of the respectable inhabitants of the neigh bourhood. THE SUN, FRAN CE. We find the following in the Dix Decembre : " After the serious events which have, within the last few days, agitated the high governmental regions, a schism is on the point of taking place in the old majority, from the ranks of which will arise a new parliamentary party, decided on sup porting the personal policy of the President. A preparatory meeting took place on Friday even ing, at the hotel of the Prince de la Aloskowa. Amongst the representatives present were Messrs. Lucien and Antoine Bonaparte, Casabianca, de la Moskowa, F. de Lagrange, Vieillard, de la Re doubte, de Salis, de Mouchy, Charamaule, Larabit, de Caulaincourt, Gavini, Lallier, Elchevery, Gene rals Achard, Wast-Vimeaux, Husson, de Gram mont, &c. The new party will follow the line of policy indicated in the message of Louis Napo leon, and• will not give its support to the Minis try unless it frankly follows the path traced out by the President. The programme of General d'Haut poul was the subject of some criticism; several of the representatives present at the meeting considered that document as too indecisive, and as not clearly pointing out that entire character of adhesion to the presidential policy which it had a right to expect from a Ministry formed under such circumstances." The French Eveneisent publishes the following exquisite series of blunders anent Miss Burdett Coutts " Miss Burdett Coutts, the rich heiress of the Duchess of St. Albans, was introduced the day before yesterday at the Ely:4e, by Lord Normanby. The rumours of a marriage between Miss Burdett Coutts and M. Louis Bonaparte some months since will not have been forgotten. Miss Burdett Coutts is the daughter of Sir . Francis Burdett, formerly Member of the English Parliament, who passed the first thirty years of his life on the benches of the Whigs, and the last twenty years on those of the Tories. The Duchess of St. Albans, who left her her immense fortune, had been well known in the theatrical world as Mrs. Siddons, whose first hus band was Mr. Coutte, the rich London banker, and whose fortune she subsequently bestowed on the Duke of St. Albans, who was younger than her by thirty years, though he descended to the tomb several years before her. The Duchess of St. Albans died abJut four years ago." MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Nov. 6.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. iVORSHIP-STREET. A middle aged man, named Robert Carson, late book-beeper the service of Messrs. Thomas and John Robinson, extensive silk-manufacturcrs in Fort street, Spitalfi:llds, was placed at the bar, charged, firstly, with stealing various sums of money, in the whole amounting to about 125/. ' • secondly, with stealing a piece of velvet, ten yards and a half in length, value 31.; and thirdly, upon suspicion of having stolen 1201 b. weight of undyed silk, of the value of 150/. the property of his employers. Mr. Thomas Robinson stated that the prisoner had been in the service of their firm for a considerable period, and it formed part of his duties to pay their wages to the weavers and workmen in their employ. The utmost confidence was reposed in him by himself and partners, and not the slightest suspicion was en tertained of his integrity until a few days ago, when an accidental discovery was made of some irregulari ties in his accounts, in consequence of which the pri soner's books were subjected to a close scrutiny, and the result of this was such as could leave no doubt whatever that he had been robbing them for a long time past, and to a very serious extent. There was a general practice amongst firms in the trade to advance each Saturday morning, a portion of the money to which weavers of both sexes would be entitled on the completion of the work they had in their looms, which enabled the poor people to support their fami lies in the interval, and it was the prisoner's business when he paid these amounts to post them to the re spective weavers' accounts and charge them against the house. It was discovered upon examination, however, in a great number of cases, that although he had entered the sums in his cash bouk as though he had paid them, he had not posted them against the workmen, which must have sooner led to his detection, and in a great many instances it was found that moneys he had charged the firm with as having been received by their servants had never been paid at all. He was then prepared to go into two cases of that description, out of at least 200 such that he could establish against the prisoner, in support of the first charge, if neces sary, and the reason for making the third charge against him was this :—ln consequence of the pri soner's abstraction of the money the partners felt anxious lest their loss should be greater than it then appeared, and the stock upon the premises was there fore inspected, when upon examining the room in which the undyed silk was deposited it was found that no less than 1201 b. weight of it had disappeared, which could not possibly have been used in the busi ness, and as no one but himself and the prisoner bad access to that part of the warehouse, it was impossible to account for its going but upon the supposition that the prisoner had taken it. Sergeant Teakie stated, that upon the prosecutors discovering the prisoner's falsification of his books to conceal the course he had pursued, he was employed to investigate the matter, and on the disappearance of the raw silk being ascertained, it was also found that the 10i yards of velvet which formed the sub ject of the second charge had likewise gone. The velvet had been cut off a piece, and on the prisoner being asked if he knew anything about it, he posi tively denied all knowledge of the velvet, but the errand-boy entered at the time the prisoner was being questioned, and going straight to some boxes deposited in one of the corners, drew the velvet from beneath the undermost box, and challenged the accused with having secreted it there. The prisoner at once ac knowledged that he had done so, and at the same time confessed that he had intended to send it off ti Derby, to which town he had sent other pieces of silk upon previous occasions, but though he likewise acknowledged to him that he had malversated his employers' money, he strenuously denied that he was at all aware of the means by which the large quan tity of unwrought silk that had been stolen had dis appeared. Two witnesses, named Hall and Gammon, work men in the prosecutor's service, were next examined, and proved that no such sums as 2/. and 11., entered in the prisoner's books, as having been paid to them on account of his employers on the 14th and 22d of September last, had ever been received by them, and the sergeant having asked for a remand to enable him to establish other cases against the accused, the pri • soner, who appeared very desponding, but offered no observations in answer to any of the charges, was remanded till that day week. Mr. Thomas Kimbell, a watchmaker and jeweller in Tottenham-court-road, wheee first examination appeared in our paper of Friday last, was brought up for final hearing on Saturday, charged with felo niously intermarrying with one Mary Anne Batts, his first wife, Elizabeth Kimbell, being then and still alive. _ _ The charge, which developed an extraordinary case of mistaken identity, was preferred at the instance of the first wife, who stated that she had been obliged to seek relief from the parish in consequence of being discarded by her husband in favour of another woman, and that having since obtained incontestible evidence that he was actually married to this person, she was determined to press the charge against him and pro secute him to the utmost. A certificate of the first marriage having been put in, proving that it had been solemnized at Crediton, in Devonshire, Sept. 16, 1840, Mary Wreford, the wife's sister, proved that she was a subscribing witness to it, and the evidence as to the alleged second mar riage was then gone into. In support of this Robert Carter, sexton of St. Mary's, Norton- folgate, was called, and stated that he was present at the marriage of the prisoner to one Sarah Anne Batts, which took place at the above church on the 29th of November, 1847, when the prisoner was married in the name of Thomas James Kimbell ; and although his voice appeared slightly altered, and his whiskers were not now quite so full as upon that occasion, he felt per fectly satisfied that he was the same person. Mr. Sidney, solicitor for the defenee, said he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge, which had solely o ri g inated in the exasperated feelings of the prisoner's wife, from whom he had been obliged to effect a separation in consequence of repeated acts of misconduct on her part; and to prove the remark able mistake which had been made in the identity of his client, he had then in attendance the very persons who were actually married upon the last occasion referred to. A young man named Thomas James Kimbell, an optician in Hatton-garden, was then called, and proved that he was married at St. Mary's, Norton-folgate, on the day in question, to his wife, Sarah Anne Batts, who was now present, and produced the certificate to that effect he received at the time. The sexton Carter was a subscribing witness, and Carter had also acted in the same capacity at the subsequent marriage of his wife's bridesmaid, at which the witness likewise attended. Carter was thereupon recalled, to see if he had any recollection of the last witness, and after closely scru tinising him, said that though he could not charge his memory with the particular occasion, he had certainly seen him somewhere. The young woman who had also been mistaken for Sarah Ann Bstts, otherwise Mrs. Kimbell, and who stated that she merely lived with the prisoner in the capacity of shopwoman, was next called, and com pletely negatived the fact that she had been married to the prisoner, and this was also confirmed in some measure by the sexton himself, who acknowledged that he had never seen her before in his life. The MAGisTaa.TE said that after the evidence he bad now heard he considered the case had been com pletely answered, and he should, therefore, order the prisoner to be at once liberated. Mr. Sidney thereupon said, that as the charge against his client had obtained extensive publicity through the newspapers, he trusted that an equal publicity would be given by the representatives of the press to the thoroug exculpation he had been enabled to give. His client was a highly respectable trades man, and a charge of so flagrant a nature, wi t h out its satisfactory refutation, was calculated to be of very serious prejudice to him. The prisoner also com plained of the annoyance and injustice he had been groundlessly subjected to, and expressed his intention not to let the matter rest where it did. ST. NICOLA' KIRCIIF, HAMBURG II .—OIIr readers are probably aware that the church of St. Nicholas, being one of the three churches either wholly or partially destroyed by the great fire of Hamhurgh in 1842, is now being rebuilt on a scale both of dimension and decors ration, nearly equalling many of the ancient cathedrah. The work, like its ancient predecessors, proceeds slowly end gradually as funds permit, but the eastern portions have now attained nearly to the full elevation of the aisles. The work, though under the direction of an English architect, Mr. Scott, is carried out exclusively by German contractors and workmen, and has been superintended from its commencement by Mr. Mortimer, an excellent and talented English clerk of the works ' who on 22d ult., while exansininr one of the springers of the groining which was inaccurately worked, was precipitated nearly 50 feet into the crypt of the church, and killed on the spot. The committee for the church, as a last tribute of respect and gratitude, gave him such a funeral as is usual among their most distinguished citizens. The workmen wished to attend en masse, but were advised not to do so on account of the jealousy of the Prussian military at any large concourse of people. About sixty of them, however, afterwards went to the grave, and deposited upon it a rich and costly . garland of evergreens and eilk, on which was the following ins c rip. tion:—" To Mortimer, their master builder, from the sorrowing stonemasons of St. Nicholas's Church." We have inserted the above particulars from a feeling that while such obituaries are usually accorded to persons of higher stations, it is hardly just to deny them to those who in humbler positions have evinced an amount of talent, zeal, and uncompromising devotion to their duties cduully doservin7 commemorati,m The Rev.

NAVAL AIDE•DE-CAMP TO THE QUEEN. We have great ph asure in a:lnonneing that the Queen, on the nomination of the Admiral bus ap pointed Csptain the Hon. Henry Juhn Rouc, to be one of the naval aides decamp to her Majesty, vice Berkeley, promoted. " The Hon. Henry John Pious, born January 23, 1795, is second son of John, first Earl of Stradbroke, by his second wife, Charlotte Maria, daughter of Abraham Whittaker, Esq , and brother and heir pre sumptive of the present peer. His half-sister (his father's only child by his first marriage) is the widow of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, G.C.8., G.C. M. G. " This officer entered the navy January 28,' 1808, as first- class volunteer, on board the Royal William, Captain the Hon. Courtenay Boyle, flag-ship of Sir Gorge Montagu, at Portsmouth. In February, 1809, he removed to the Repulse, 74, Captain the Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge ; and in the following Novem ber, after having attended the exhibition to Flushing, he became midshipman of the Victory, 100, bearing the flag of Sir James Sautnarez, in. the Baltic. He joined next, in March, 1811, the Tonnant, 80, Capt. Sir John Gore, employed off Lisbon and in the Channel; and from December 26, in the same year, until promoted, May 18, 1814, to the rank of lieute nant, he served on the Mediterranean station in the Bacchante, 38, commanded by the late Sir William Hoste. On the night of August 31st, 1812, he assisted in the boats under Lieutenant Donat flenchy O'Brien, at the cutting out from the port of Lema of seven vessels laden with ship timber for the Venetian Government, together with La Tissiphone, French national xebec, of one 6-pounder, two 3- pounders, and 28 men, one gun-boat, with a 9- pounder, two &pounders, and 24 men, and another of one 9-pounder and 20 men, intended fbr the protection of the trade on the coast of Istria, from Pola to Trieste. He next, Jan. 6, 1813, united in a successful attack made by the boats of the Bacchante and Weasel sloops, on five of the enemy's gun-vessels, in the neighbourheod of Otranto ; on May 15 following he assisted at the capture and destruction of the castle and batteries of Karlebago, mounting two long 12- pounders, and two brass s's ; and on June 12 in the same year he commanded the Bacchante's yawl, and was highly spoken of for his conduct at the capture from under the town of Gela Nova, on the coast of Abruzzo, of seven large gun-boats, mounting each one long 18-pounder in the how, three smaller gun vessels with a 4-pounder in the bow, and fourteen sail of merchantmen, four of which also had guns in their bow. The British, as they advanced, were exposed to a heavy fire of grape and musketry ; and it was not until they were fairly alongside the gun-boats that the crews of the latter slackened their fire ; they were then driven from their vessels with great loss. The shore astern of the assailed was at the commence ment lined with 100 troops, who, however, fled on the first fire, leaving behind them two field pieces, which were destroyed by the marines under Lieutenant Ilaig. In performing this brilliant exploit the boats of the Bacchante sustained a loss of 2 seamen and 1 marine killed, and 5 seamen and 1 marine wounded. In the ensuing night one of the merchant-vessels, laden with oil, of which Mr. Rous had been placed in charge, filled and upset, but did not, owing to the buoyancy of her cargo, go down. Although the wind was blowing strong, her commander and his prize crew were providentially enabled to hang on by the starboard gunwale from midnight until four A.M., when to their joy they were discovered and picked up by the sternmost vessel of the convoy, in charge of Hon. Mr. Waldek.3.rave, and under a press of sail for Lissa. In 1813-14, Mr. Roils was concerned in the operations connected with the capture of Rovigno, on the coast of Istria, the island of Le sina, and the strong fortresses of Cattaro and Ragusa. His appointments, immediately susequent to his promotion, were—August 2 4, 1814, to the Mmander, 38, Captain John Bastard, with whom he served off . . Lisbon and in the Mediterranean until December, 1405 ; January 10, 1817, to the Conqueror, 74, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Robert Plampin at St. Helena ; and August 2 following, to the acting command on the same station, of the Podargus, 14. From that sloop, to which he was confirmed November 26, 1817, Captain Rous removed, January 25, 1818, to the Mosquito. In the summer of 1819, he returned to England, and was paid off. His next appointments were, November 26, 1821, and February 9, 1822, to the Sappho, 18, and Hind, 20, on the Cork and Mediterranean stations; he attained post rank, April 25, 1823 ; and he afterwards, from July 30, 1825, until August 25, 1829, and from November 17, 1834, until the close of 1835, commanded the Rainbow, 28, and Pique, 36. In the former of those ships he visited the Last Indies, and discovered a river (to which he gave the name of Richmond) to the northward of Sydney, in New South Wales. The Pique, while he was in her, ran ashore on the coast of Labrador, was got off with great difficulty, and crossed the Atlantic without a rudder. In 1846, Captain nous filled a seat at the Board of Admiralty. He had previously represented Westminster in Parliament"— O'Byrne s Biography. Commander Edmund M. Lyons, who was promoted in November, 1846, for his gallant conduct against the pirates, when belonging to the Siren, in the Me diterranean, and who has since commanded the Pilot, 12, in the China seas, and has by his indefatigability, skill, sagacity, and gallantry, performed eminent service in suppressing piracy in the China seas, has been promoted to the rank of captain. He is second and youngest son of Captain Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart. Surgeon—John Andrews (a) (a), to be surgeon superintendent of the Eliza, convict-sloop.

The Trident, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Risk, arrived at Devonport on Sunday, with newly raised men, from Liverpool. The Shearwater, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Tumour, was taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport, on Friday ; had her copper cleaned, and taken out on Saturday, when the Penguin was taken in the same tide. The death of Captain Francis Erskine Loch, R.N. (1814), Naval Aide ale-Camp to her Majesty, is reported here this afternoon. Captain Loch entered the navy on the Ist of September, 1799. When commanding the Sparrow brig he was actively em ployed at the siege of San Sebastian, and in 1814 sustained a partial action with the French frigates Sultane and Etoile, which were afterwards taken by the Hebrus and Hannibal. He commanded the Eden, 26-gun frigate, in the expedition under Sir Francis Augustus Collier, against the pirates at Has al Khyma, in the Persian Gulf. Ile commanded her Majesty's ship Hastings, 74, and took the Earl o f Durham to Quebec, and subsequently her Majesty Queen Adelaide for the Mediterranean. On the 19th of September, 1839, he was appointed to the Victory, then ordinary guard-ship in this harbour. He was afterwards superintendent of quarantine at Stangate Creek in the Medway, until that station was broken up. He was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen on the 4th May, 1847. PORTMOUTH, Nov. S.—THE SHARKIE STEAM FRIGATE IN EGYPT.—The estimation in which this splendid ship was held in England has met with its reverse in Egypt. It appears, by a letter from a naval officer at Alexandria, that the ship has been repre sented to Abbas Pasha as being both slow and weak in construction, us well as subject to many other faults; and hence a vessel which was the object of general admiration in this country is a despised and neglected one there. The speed this ship attained in England and on her passage out is a proof that one part of the complaint is untrue; no other steam-frigate has worked the screw with so great success. 'fhe judgment of those who were most competent to form an opinion of the sufficiency of her general strength is quite at variance with that expressed of her in Egypt. And even since her arrival at Alexandria she has given proof that both the imputations are untrue, for she has had to put her power of speed to the test, and has been subject to such an unfair distri bution of immense weight as no English officer would venture to try his ship by—more than 4,500 large shot and shell were taken on board, and put upon the main-deck ( !), and a conaiderable number of heavy guns upon the upper deck, to depress the ship in the water for the purpose of trying her speed. In the trial then made with steam alone the greatest speed in running free was 10.6 knots, and against a stiff breeze it was B'7 knots an hour. The complaints made against the ship appear a mere pretext to discredit Mohammed Bey with the present ruler of Egypt. His position has long been a source of envy to foreigners, who deemed him their rival in reputa tion and emolument, but who never could effectually impugn him before the late venerable Viceroy. It is to be hoped Abbas Pacha will yet see through the artifice, and visit with his displeasure those who most deserve it. The Lily and Fantome brigs were taken into the dock vacated by the Actaeon, 26, this morning, to be brought forward for commission. The Leander, '5O, Captain S. C. Dacres, dropped down the harbour, to be swung for the adjustment of her compasses to-day. The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, put back this afternoon and brought up at St. Helen's.
