Lion of smoke as a nuisance on board ship, recently tried in her Majesty's ship Vivid, from Woolwich, is ordered to be retained on board the Vivid for further trials, which are authorised to take place shortly, with a view to improvements which it is confidently expected that it is capable of. During the late trials the boilers were stoked expressly to emit as much smoke as possible, for the purpose of experiments, and were worked singly under the influence of the jets of steam intended to reduce the nuisance. The comparison of the amount of smoke issuing from the chimneys was at all times greatly in favour of the apparatus, the boiler with the steam jet shut off producing a dense black cloud of smoke, while the one with the jets work ing gave but a small blue vapour. Mr. Fnllom, principal clerk in the Royal carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal, yesterday trans mitted to the Rev. D. Davis, incumbent at _Rises, near Monmouth, a cheque for the sum of £35 123. 9d,, being the amount collected from the clerks and mechanics of that department in aid of the distressed widows and orphans suffering from the late explosion. This is the third collec tion which has been contributed by the establish ment of Woolwich Arsenal for that purpose; the sums from the Royal gun factories and laboratory having been already announced. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander D. Miller, to be an inspecting commander of the Coastguard, vice Norman, whose period nf•service has expired ; J. C. &Affect, master, to the Aboukir; W. B. Cal. ver, master additional, to the Imaum ; T. W. Web ster, second master, to the Procris ; J. Munchin, acting second master, to the Pembroke, for the Coastguard ; W. Blakey, acting second master, to the Wellesley; and It. Archibald M.Murdo has been nominated to a naval cadetship. THE ARMY. The augmentation which the Government has deeded on making in the corps of Royal Engineers, consequent on the amalgamation of the Royal and Indian Engineers, will take effect on the Ist of April, on which date two additional companies will be added to the corps, making the number of companies belonging to this branch of the service 38. The two new companies will be formed from the Chatham detachments now at headquarters, and each will consist of 100 non-commissioned offi cers and men. By direction of the Adjutant- Gcneral of the Royal Engineers, the 37th and 38th companies will, on their formation, be attached to headquarters until they are required to embark for foreign service. The recruiting parties recently despatched from Brompton to raise additional men for the corps of Royal Engineers have been very successful, and a number of fine young men, most of them skilled mechanics, have been sent up to headquarters. ~s '~~~ ;s= ~: j' :+.r. q x.~ . During the whole of yesterday a district court martial, of which Major F. G. T. Deshon was the president, was engaged at Chatham garrison in trying a number of non-commissioned officers and men belonging to various regiments now serving in India on a charge of having, on their arrival from India, reached Chatham in a disgraceful state of intoxication. The prisoners during the time they were travelling to Chatham from the port at which they disembarked became entirely unmanageable, setting the non-commissioned officers of the staff who had them in charge at complete defiance. Their conduct during the journey was most dis graceful, nearly the whole of them becoming help lessly intoxicated, and iu that condition fighting and behaving in the most improper manner. On their arrival at Fort Pitt Hospital many of them had black eyes and their faces covered With blood. Immediately on the facts being reported to the Major-General commanding the forces at Chatham a district court-martial was ordered to assemble to try the delinquents. The prisoners, in their de fence, urged that they had been in India a great number of years, and the liquor they par took of on landing in England took an extraordi nary effect upon them. Several of the prisoners tried have been in the service upwards of 21 years, and had been sent home from India to be granted pensions and discharged, most of them being men of very good character. By their conduct, however, they have placed their pensions in jeopardy, be sides making themselves amenable to other punish ments. The sentences passed on the prisoners will not be promulgated until the proceedings and find ing of the Court have been confirmed by Major- General Eyre. The colonelcy of the 6th (Royal Ist Warwick shire) Regiment has become vacant by the death of Gen. H. J. Riddell, which took place at Ox endon, Dunse, Berwickshire, on the Bth inst.

BETTING AT STARTING. 9 to 2 agst Jealousy, 9 to 2 agst Anatis, 100 to 15 agst Master Bagot, 7 to 1 agst Cockatoo, 1S to 1 agst Freshman, 12 to 1 agst The Emperor, 100 to 8 agst Old Ben Roe, 20 to 1 agst Redwing, 33 to 1 agst Brunette, and 33 to 1 agst Conductor. The horses were, as usual, called to the post by the Earl of Sefton, who speedily marshalled them " the way they should go." Only once was the rank thrown into disorder, but the impatient ones were soon brought back, and at ten minutes to four—a quarter of au hour after the appointed time—the flag was dropped, and the race commenced. The Dane and Xanthus rushed to the front, and showed the way over the first obstacle—a ditch, faced by posts and rails. Here, however, the chapter of accidents thus early com menced, for Kibwortb Lass, Diamant, and Longrange re fused, and were not coaxed over the fence until the leaders had got far ahead, X anthus carrying his colours to the fore. On entering the ploughed land, The Dane, Jealousy, Cock atoo, Bridegroom, and Redm ing being next in pursuit, with Master Bagot in the middle of the ruck. The last men tioned animal, however, came to grief on approaching the canal side, and took no further part in the race. On enter ing the racecourse, Jealousy deprived her stable com panion, Xanthus, of the lead, Bridegroom going on third, with Cockatoo fourth ; the others, with the exception of Dr. Leete and Brother to Lady's Maid, who were a long way in the rear, lying pretty well together. Very little change occurred in these positions until after re-entering the race course, when Xanthus again went ahead, his immediate followers being Brunette, Jealousy, Anatis, Cockatoo, The Dane, and Old Ben Roe. On they went through the start ing field to the ditch, just before reaching the ploughed land, where Cockatoo, Dr. Leote, Irish Emigrant, and the Rover fell, and Anatis blundered, and her jockey was sent from his saddle on to her neck. Before he recovered him self the leading horses were quite a field in advance, and on approaching the race course for the last time, Jealousy. the Dane, Redwing., Old Ben Roe, and Bridegroom only were left in the race. Jealousy led over the last flight of hurdles, and, maintaining her advantage to the end, won by two lengths. the second beating the third by the same distance. Bridegroom was a bad fourth, Xanthus, Red wing, and Diamant, were next. The Handicap Plate of 40 soya. Three furlongs. Mr. Hare's Hartley Wintney, 4 yrs, Bst 101 b Mr. Barber's Polly Peachum, 6 yrs, 7st Captain Christie's Queen Bee, 4 yrs, 7st 41b LONGEVITY.—The general health of the people must have improved wonderfully within the present century, judging from the numerous persons who now attain the age of 100 years and upwards. We subjoin the names and ages of a few centenarians who have died during the past month of February, which, although they have not been methodi cally collected, are etill sufficiently numerous to show that if the attainment of that age was rare in former days, it will soon cease to be extraordinary in our own :—Sergeant John Doyle, of the Waterford Militia, died at Queenstown on the 26th, at the ago of 105; Miss Agnes Forrester died at Perth, at the same age ; Mr. John Jones died at New borough-villas, Highbury, on the 15th, in his 103 d year. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills.— Relief for all Sufferings.—The grand secret of attaining happiness is to secure health; without which, whatever other blessings are possessed, life is stripped of all its plea sures. The first irregularity of function should be checked and set right by the sufferer, who can always do so by using Holloway's purifying medicaments according to his in structions, which are so intelligible that all who read can understand them. Holloway's remedies, seasonably applied, always prevent, or cut short, disordered action, and save families much anxiety and suffering. In all throat and chest affections, so common to our climate, this Ointment well rubbed upon the throat, back, or chest, will success fully oppose every insidious symptom and re-establish health.

THE NAVY. Her Majesty's new screw steam sloop Eclipse, built at Miliwall, and supplied with engines of 2uo - power (uominal), will leave Woolwich this morning on a trial trip of her machinery dOwn the river. Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Bristol, 51, launched at Woolwich on the 10th ult., was yes terday undocked, and the screw steam tank vessel Wye was docked in her place, to complete her fit ment as a storeship for the African station. The iron paddlewheel steam vessel Weser, carry ing 6 guns, recently commissioned by Commander Arthur 11. J. Johnstone, was yesterday warped into dock at Woolwich to undergo the usual survey and examination preparatory to her departure. The command of the Weser, paid cif by Commander Johnstone at Woolwich in 1859, has been again given to him on his own special application, and (unlike many other ships which have been com missioned from that port) without the aid of cir culars or advertisements, the whole of the crew, consisting of a complement of 65 meu, including the assistant•surgeon, second master, and assistant paymaster in charge, were appointed and entered within the lapse of 48 hours after the pennant was hoisted on board. Her destination is stated to be Gibraltar, Malta, Constantinople, the Black Sea, and the mouths of the Danube. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8,, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday at high water from Spithead and berthed alongside the shear jetty, where she got out boats, unbent sails, &c., preparatory to clearing out her stores to pay off. The departure of the Princess Royal, 91, screw, Capt. C. Fellowes, from Ports mouth harbour to Spithead, was deferred until to. day. The Cockatrice, 4, screw gunboat, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth to clean copper and examine valves prior to being commissioned. The Fancy, 2, screw gunboat is drawing towards completion of repairs in No. 5 dock of Portsmouth yard. Her repairs, however, will be of such an extensive character that scarcely one of her original timbers will remain in her. The repairs to the Tribune screw frigate, in the adjoining dock, must also be of a very heavy nature when completed, as the removal of every piece of planking discovers some additional defects in her timbers, &c. The repairs to the Eurydice, 26, sailing frigate, are still being carried out in the ship basin, as though she was still intended for a cadet training ship, and a strong belief prevails that such is the case, and that she will be provided for in a supple mentary estimate. It is also said that Vice-Admiral Martin, Commauder-in-Chief of the Mediterranean fleet, has applied for her to be attached as a cadet training ship to the fleet under his command. The Lizard, 2, paddle, Lieut.-Commander Maun sell, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday afternoon on her return to Sheerness. The Icarus, 11, screw, Commander N. Salmon, V,C,, received her new funnel yesterday under the sheers of the old fitting basin. She is expected to proceed to the Mediterranean from Portsmouth when complete in her refit. Steam was got up yesterday on board the screw gunvessel Petrel, 11, in the North Basin, Keyham Steam-yard. The screw steam frigate Phcebe, 51, which was cut in two and lengthened in Devonport Dockyard, having been supplied with engines, will be put out of No. 2 Dock at Keyham to-day. That portion of the Channel squadron at 1:37- mouth which sent their guns ashore to be new vented, have received them again. The Armstrong guns have not yet been supplied. The lower yards and topmasts of these ships continue struck. The defects of the paddlewheel steam sloop Gey ser, 6, at Plymouth, are being made good. When complete she will convey to Pembroke the navigat ing party appointed to take the Defiance, 91, to Devonport ; Commander Paul will probably be ap pointed to this duty. At the quarterly examination of ou t of 62 candidates and d i o d e a k t y es ar a d which closed on Monday last, t the Royal Naval College in Portsm outh for naval cadetships 15 were rejected. Of 18 can didates for masters' assistants two were rejected. The numbers rejected were in both cases consider ably less than the average. -•'Messrs. Grissell's contract for the erection of the new coaling jetty at Portsmouth dockyard Ns ill be complete in about a month's time. The contract was included in last year's Naval Estimates for £15,377. The jetty presents a platform 650 feet long by 60 feet wide, with four spaces of 15 feet each on its front face, for the erection of hydraulic cranes, which have been eon. tracted for by Sir W. Armstrong and Co. A sum of money for the construction of the foundations for the hydraulic cranes has been in the estimates of A.RCIIBISHOP WHATELY ON THE MARRIAGE LA 1P The following annotation of ArchbishopWhately's in his edition of " Paley's Moral Philosophy," has a peculiar interest at the present time, when the, defective state of our marriage law has been so pro minently exhibited by the recent cases of Beamish and of Yelverton : and it is only necessary to add that the law recommended by the archbishop has been for some time established in France:— " Marriages in England during the usurpation were soletn nisoebefore a justice of the peace; but for what, pur pose this novelty was introduced, except to degrade the clergy, does not appear." As it does not appear that the parties were prohibited from superadding any religious ceremony they might choose, Paley's censure of the law seems unreasonable. As long as this full liberty of conscience is left, such a law appears the wisest—indeed the only wise one_—_ on ,o th i e n s t u erf bj e e r c e t , For, marriage may be considered in two points of view : (Ist) as a civil contract, referring to the legal rights and duties o ft h e parties concerned , sm t c h iae e nn i their yc eodflaiffnpderrhi different t 0; religioused. which A e n o a rn p e e ir s ;.. properly within the province of the civil 'government • and (idly) as a religious engagement ; which is a matter e Pious denomma etswpeeecniaellaychwpheernsotnh' this, it is best for the secular government not + • -- a a i n n d st h fra av u e d t ) h t i o s e s re ow a n re t s i u o a n s , i ons. were rlefquthireesa(rwtiietsh, dueof wphraeteeavue precautions e r n e l e i • make a regular contract before a magistrate, duly registered by him, they being of course left at liberty to go through any religious ceremony (before or after) that and if this contract were their conscience might dictate—and all the anomalies, could be hurt, and we mad escape e at universally once a an , d , marr iage, no ono 's conscience evidence of a legal and valid for of our patchwork legislation on the tthe e S v oleshould and griev ances, and abuses, subject. ____ ESCAPE C Y A it 0 A CONVICT FROM PORTSMOUTH D o •--:A r convict named William Thompson, who is under sentence of six years' penal servitude, of which term ho has served about nine months, has made his escape from Portsmouth Dockyard. It appears that ho obtained some articles of clothing belonging to a workman, in which he dressed himself, leaving his prison garb behind • and it ie supposed that he walked out of the yard when the workmen left. Another man who attempted to escape at the same time was captured. The Government have offered a reward of £5 for Thompson's apprehension, but, notwithstanding the exertions of the police and convict authorities, up to Monday evening no trace had been obtained of his where ' abOlatET rts this nis. ipal .ase and .ent of the S. ror's gd 10 w of .ates. 0 355 o 375 o 295 o 585 0 43s ;heat ruler news.
