The whole of the buildings are of corrugated gal vanized iron, and have been erected in a most substantial manner by Messrs. Grissell and Co., of the Regent Canal iro❑ works, in an exceedingly short space of time, under the superintendence of Mr. Rivers, clerk of the works. The largest of the sheds is a commodious workshop 320 feet in length by about 50 fret in width at its largest end. This building has an exceedingly light appearance, the roof being formed of iron and glass. At the extreme end a large engine -house is now being erected by Messrs. Foord and Sons, the contractors for this 1 portion of the undertaking, who are also preparing the beds of concrete for the foundations of the punching, drilling, stamping, and other powerful machinery whieh is to be erected. The number of mechanics and labourers who are to be em ployed exclusively on the new vessel will be upwards of 1,000, and some idea may therefore be formed of the extensive workshops required to enable this large body of workmen to carry on their operations. The second dock, in which it is intended to build the iron steamer, is at present occupied by the Hussar, which is under alterations to adapt her for a target ship. This, however, will only occupy a few weeks, at the ex piration of wbich period the whole of the prepara tions will have been completed for the commence ment of the new ship, Portions of the beams and other parts of the vessel continue to arrive at Chatham from the Low Moor, Bowling, Butterly, and other iron-works which have entered into con tracts with the Admiralty for supplying them. The following appointments were made yester day at' the Admiralty :—Nathaniel Stearn, pro moted to the rank of second-class assistant-engineer in the Asia, for service in the Osborne; James A. France, promoted to the rank of second-class assist.-engineer in the Trident ; William Giles, promo' ed to the rank of second-class assist.•engineer in the Narcissus; John Ker, promoted to the rank of second-class assist.-engineer in the Edinburgh ; Henry Parry, promoted to the rank of acting second-class assist.-engineer in the Styx; Peter Robertson, promoted to the rank of acting second class assist.-engineer in the Curacoa; Thomas G.

Knight, promoted to the rank of second-class assist.-engineer in the Curacoa as supernumerary; Thomas Marsden, promoted to the rank of second class assist.-engineer in the James Watt ; and James R Jackson and John Miller (c), acting third cia•s assist.- engineers to the Asia as supernumer aries. ITALY. Part VIII. of " further correspondence relating to the affairs of Italy" was published yesterday. Most of the papers have already appeared, but the following are new, and will be read with interest : " No. 31. LORD J. RUSSELL TO THE CHEVALIER DE Fot- TUNATO. " Foreign-office, Feb. 20: " Sir,—The intelligence which has reached this country of the capitulation of the fortress of Gaeta, and of the departure of his Majesty King Francis 11., and the Queen his consort, from his late do minion 3, renders it necessary that I should acquaint you that, under the present state of things, you can no longer be accredited at this Court as the reprEsentative of the Government of the King of the Two Sicilies. " I will not on this occasion indulge in vain re gret at the catastrophe which has befallen the Bourbon Dvnaqy in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The British Government had long fore seen, and had repeatedly warned, not only King Francis 11., but his immediate predecessor, of the dangers they incurred by the policy they pursued; but I cannot close my official intercourse with you without requesting you to accept the assurance of my personal esteem, to which the manner in which you have conducted the business that you have had to transact with me has given you so just a claim. " I am, &e., " J. RUSSELL." " No. 32. (Translation.) " London, Feb. 22. "My Lord,—l have received with deep regret, although without surprise, the note dated the 20th, in which you do me the honour to inform me that his Majesty the King, my august Sovereign, hav ing quitted his States, in consequence of the fall of Gaeta, I could not for any further period be accre dited to this Court as the representative of his Sicilian Majesty. " I say without surprise,' my lord, because it has for a length of time been easy to forsee that the British Government would come to this resolution; on the one hand, from the want of sympathy, of good will, and -I will even say of generosity to. wards the King's cause, of which they have given proof, and which I have had to note with profound regret more and more every day, when their sup port would have been to him of the moct efficacious nature; and, on the other, by the strong encou ragement given to the movement in Italy, which in giving help to the revolution could not but paralyse the generous efforts and that noble and heroic cou rage with which the King has defended up to the last the rights of his subjects and of his Crown. " It is to this moral support of the British Go vernment that Italy owes it in a great measure— your Excellency avows it yourself—that she is at this day almost entirely subjected to the dominion of the King of Piedmont. It remains only to be seen if the desired unity will ever be accomplished and consolidated ; and if England, who appears from her policy to have had it in her eye to make of Italy a powerful ally, through the gratitude which the latter would owe her, will not hereafter have cause to regret that policy, when one day she sees her allied to a powerful rival. " Still, your Excellency has chosen on many occasions to express your regret at the final catas trophe which has brought with it the fall of the dynasty ; but you lay the blame of this entirely upon the King's Government. "Permit me , my lord, on the last occasion that _ _ I have the honour of addressing your Excellency officially, to lay down in the interests of justice and of truth the exact nature of the facts and of the circumstances which have led to the deplorable events of which Italy has been the theatre. " The young King, from his first accession to the throne, has had no other thought nor other aim than the goad and the prosperity of his subjects, and it has surely been very unjust not to have reckoned in his favour the immense difficulties, cer tainly not of his own creation, in the midst of which he suddenly found himself, and against which he has had to struggle. And here, my lora, I cannot refrain from loudly repelling all the accusations and the numerous calumnies which in England have been levelled at the King from the very com mencement of his reign, and which even public functionaries have not shrunk from complacently echoing, by adding to the recitals of the press the authority of their names. _ " If there were faults in the internal administra tion of the kingdom, and abuses to be regretted in the action of the police, it yet was not just to trace the responsibility of them back to the King, who unhappily has himself been the victim of his con•- fidence in those traitors or villains who surrounded him, and who, being won over to the cause of Sar dinia, were interested in concealing from him the truth. And besides the reestablishment of the Constitution, a Liberal Government which public opinion had pointed out to the King, and the offer even of an alliance with Piedmont, which the un bounded ambition of that State, and her well-defined projects of aggrandisement, led her to reject upon a thousand pretexts, were not these sufficient gua rantees for the future? " Have the populations of the Two Sicilies true cause to congratulate themselves upon the new order of things, to which it is sought to subject them by force, in opposition to their traditions and their interests ? Has not the whole kingdom been occupied by troops? Are not numbers of subjects faithful to their King summarily shot, under the pretence that they are brigands? Are not those individuals who in any way declare against an nexation, or in favour of their legitimate Sovereign, quickly imprisoned by hundreds ? And domiciliary visits, and the law regarding suspected persons, against which there was so great an outcry under the Government of the King, are not these more than ever the order of the day ? And all this, my lord, in the name of liberty, and of Italy one and regenerated! " It is not the King's subjects, it is not the dis content which his Government may have excited among them, but it is the united and audacious efforts of revolutionary characters from all countries; the disloyal intrigues of Piedmont; and lastly, the unprecedented aggression of her army, without grounds or declaration of war, accomplished by the most flagrant violation of this same alleged principle of nonintervention, which have brought on this grievous catastrophe. " Whatever may be the result, if the political passions of our day prevent a calm and just judg ment upon the events which have just taken place in the south of Italy, the decision of history will not be the less severe and impartial as to the disloyal means which have been boldly employed to arrive at it, and as to the morality of its principal promoters; " Before concluding, I feel it to be my duty, my Lord, to express to you my lively sense of the flatter ing expressions towards myself contained in your letter, and for all the kindness which you have shown me iu the official relations which I have had the honour of maintaining with your Excellency,-- I take, &c., " C. FORTUNATO. " No. 33. " LORD J. RUSSELL TO CIILVALIER DE FORTUNATO. " Foreign-office, March 1. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the r,:ceipt of your letter of the 22d ult , replying to the communication which I made to you on the 20th, that, under existing circumstances, you could no THE NA VI. The following letter is dated Valletta, March 1 : " Her Majesty's ship Exmouth, Captain J. A. Paynter, which had taken. in provisions for the squadron at Naples, has since discharged them, in consequence of the ships under the command of Rear-Admiral Mundy on that station having re ceived orders to rep tir to Malta. The order was received at Naples on the 24th of February from London, and took the officers by surprise. The squadron, with the exception of the Victor Em manuel, which was to remain until relieved by the Exmouth, was to leave on the 27th or 28th ult. for this island. The Exmouth left Malta on the 26th ult. or Naples, and was to call at Messina to give supplies to the Terrible, stationed at that port. News has reached this of her having arrived at Messina. There is a rumour here that Lord Dufferin, the English Commissioner in Syria, has asked for more ships, and that, in consequence, four or five line of battle ships are to be sent up there. The Renown', Capt. A. Forbes, left for Beyrout yesterday. Two or three large English merchant vessels arc taking in stores from this arsenal, it is reported, also fbr Syria, .and cargoes of coal are likewise to be sent here immediately, A reinforce ment of French soldiers and sailors, 312 in all, for Syria, arrived here on the 27th ult. from Toulon, on board the French Government screw transport Ariege, Capt. Allemand, and had left for its desti nation. "Her Majesty's ship Mars, 80 guns, Capt. Strange, arrived here on the 24th alt. from Corfu, under sail. At the time of her departure, the 20th ult., there were at Corfu her Majesty's ships Agamennon, Queen, and Orion, and corvette Scourge. The Orion arrived at Corfu from Gibraltar on the 19th ult. It was exiiected that the squadron at Corfu would leave for a cruise among the islands. The London was still at Patras, and the Neptune at Athens. There is some talk of the Neptune and Orion coming down here. " Her Majesty's steam frigate Liffey, 51 guns, Capt. Preedy, C. 8., arrived here on the 25th ult., at 11 a m., from Ayes and Beyrout. She l e ft Aya s /a n t he Bth of February, arrived at Beyrout on the 9th and sailed again on the 11th. The small-pox in a mild form broke out on board of her at Beyrout ; and on her arrival here there were eight of the crew on bard recovering from this disease. Tne persons having been landed at the Bighi Naval Hospital, and the ship duly fumigated, she was admitted to pratique at 2 45 p.m. the same day. One death from pneumonia occurred on board on the 21st of February, and the effects of the deceased were disposed of by sale. The Liffey brought with her several supernumeraries. " Her Majesty's steam surveying ship Medina, Capt. T. Spratt, C. 8., returned into port to-day from her surveying cruise, in connection with the intended submersion of an electric cable between Malta and Alexandria. Havinc , exhausted her supply of coal, she put in here for a fresh supply, and will leave again shortly, it is expected to com plete the survey. Capt. Spratt has reported very favourably as regards the depth of water along the proposed route, and that in this respect there will be no difficulty in laying the cable. "Her Majesty's ship Algiers, Capt. Callaghan, has just come in from Gibraltar and England. "The Russian steam corvette Sokol, Capt. Asian beyoff, left port on the 25th ult. for Algiers and the coast of Spain, and other parts of the Mediterranean. " The American steam sloop Susquehanna, Capt. G. N. Hollins, from Alexandria five days, and Tripoli one day, came in yesterday. On entering port the usual salutes were exchanged. " The contractor for dredging the Great Har bour, Mr. Gabrielli, having completed his prelimi nary arrangements, will commence his part of the work on the 4th ina. Messrs. I'redwell and Co., contractors for the construction of the wharfs, are also about to proceed with their portion of the undertaking, and the representative of this firm is expected here by the next steamer from England. Mr. Churchward, C.E., who has nearly completed ',he construction of the new dry dock in her Ma jesty's Dockyard and other important works, under the Admiralty, will, I understand, superintend the carrying out of the harbour improvements. The eight iron pontoons, built in England, by the re spective firms of Messrs. Emmerson and Co., of Stockport, and Messrs. Campbell and Co., of Lon don, are being rapidly put together, and will be shortly ready for launching. These pontoons are for the reception of the mud raised by the steam dredges, under Mr. Gabrielli's contract. " Accounts from Messina, of the 26th ult., say that the Neapolitan general in posses s i on o f the citadel still refuses to surrender. A portion of the Sardinian fleet, on board of which were Admiral Persano and General Cialdini, had arrived. Great preparations were being made for the attack, and orders had been given to prepare for the reception of 8,000 men, who were expected in a day or two. Several merchant vessels had been chartered for a month to keep by the fleet, and supply it with coal ; and should their services be required after the ex piration of that time their engagement would be renewed at periods of 10 days. Application had also been made at Malta for vessels for the same purpose. During the week ended on the 26th ult. three colonels, two majors, seven or eight captains, two priests, and a surgeon, besides many soldiers, had deserted from the citadel. They all are of I opinion that the fortress will hold out, and say that General Fergola was hard at work putting it into the most efficient state of defence possible."

She is ordered to proceed to sea as early as possible, calling in at Devonport on her way down Channel for the purpose of being docked, The newly commissioned screw steam gunboat Procris, 3, Lieut. the Hon. J. Carnegie, received her complement of Royal Marines yesterday from the barracks, Stonehouse. The entire space between the first and second THE NAVY ESIIMATES. The introduction of the Navy Estimates on Mon day evening produced a debate of extraordinary interest. The discussion which was exceedingly clear, and consequently very instructive, embraced almost every point of importance, and we have now learnt on the best authority a great many things which it much concerned us to know. As the governing vote for men and their maintenance passed without opposition, it is plain that no con siderable party thinks the proposed establishment excessive ; while, on the other hand, it has been argued with some show of reason that the results will really leave us with a satisfactory naval farce. Of course, in these matters the standard is neces sarily comparative, and it was acknowledged without the least disguise that our Estimates were governed by the armaments and preparations of other countries, and especially of France. The conclusions established in the course of the debate we will now explain. The first and most important fact to be noticed is the official admission that the invention of the iron cased ship is indeed a reality. The Secretary of the Admiralty confessed that the Gloire was an almost absolute success. She can certainly steam at a very great speed, for she outstripped every vessel of a picked squadron. She can as certainly live in very bad weather, for she was caught in a heavy gale in the Gulf of Lyons, and Lord C. Paget himself saw her a few days afterwards looking none .the worse for it. It follows, therefore, as a matter of course, that if iron-cased frigates, besides being practically invulnerable, can do what the Gloire is known to have done, they must, within certain limits, supersede wooden vessels as fighting ships. In this conclusion Sir Jahn Pakington also, though doubting the capabilities ascribed to the Gloire, un hesitatingly concurred, :and, as no contradictiein was offered, we must now assume that the izon ship controversy is finally decided. It may be true that the use of these vessels will be mainly confined to the narrow seas, but it is in those seas that the most decisive battles are likely to be fought. Here, then, we obtain another deduction —viz., that the relative forces of two maritime IPowers must in future be measured, as far as home squadrons are concerned, by their iron-cased vessels, and this comparison we are enabled on the present occasion to institute with considerable accuracy. Our own fleet of ironsides comprises two first rates actually launched, and one on the stocks; two second-rates, which will be ready for launch ing in a month or two; and two others which can not exactly be classified, bat which are expected to be rather larger than the second-rates, but lighter than the first-rates. How far these several speci mens will be actually successful we cannot say,i ti asmuch as no ship of the new fleet has yet been to sea, but in dimensions, power, and speed, it may be confidently assumed that our three first-rates will surpass any vessels of this class afloat. That is the whole of our new Navy. Turning to other Powers, we learn that France has two first-rates actually afloat, four second-rates, four third-rates, and five gunboats, which we suppose we may classify as fourth-rates. To what extent these last 13 vessels are advanced we are not exactly informed, but itis said that the entire fleet could be sent to sea in the course of the summer ; and we are told, on the authority of the Prime Minister, that 10 more first rates have been ordered on the model of the Gloire. Spain, again, has one iron-cased vessel on the stocks; Italy one likewise, and Russia one in pros pect. The invention, therefore, is fairly accepted by the maritime Powers of Europe; but Lord C. Paget omitted to state the equally remarkable fact that it still remains without recognition in the United States of America. Altogether, and ex cluding the Russian vessel, which exists in prospect only, there appear 24 of these new ships of war either actually afloat or shortly to be launched. Of these we possess seven, and three of our seven will be a match, it is said, for any other six. That is the present state of the case; but we cannot conclude without observing that experience has shown how very rapidly we could increase our strength if it became desirable to do so. When the Admiralty can make up its mind as to di mensions and model, it can obtain from our private shipbuilders as many ironsides as it pleases, and at a rate of production which could not be equalled by all Europe besides. Mr. Lind say was perfectly justified in telling the French that it was of no use for them to contend against us, for that we should infallibly keep ahead of them do what they would. It is only a pity that the moral should not be practically applied, so as to relieve both countries from the expense of a struggle in which, though France must lose, England can only win at a destructive cost. Ironsides, however, will not, according to pre sent estimate, form the only constituents of a national marine. For remote stations, distant cruises, and the general work of the sea, it is thought that wooden ships must still be employed ; and in this class of vessels we are far stronger than France—stronger in the proportion of two to one. Nevertheless, it is proposed to add some 10,000 to the tonnage of our wooden fleet this year, princi pally in the class of sloops, gunboats, and despatch vessels ; and it is further proposed to purchase a large stock of timber for store as well as use. Will this be a judicious outlay ? The store timber will probably be a good investment; for, t h oug h it is surmised that we shall ultimately be able to dis pense entirely with wood in the construction of our ironsides, nobody can doubt that timber will be wanted in our dockyards, and that it will be the better for keeping. But it is incumbent upon us to be always pressing forward wooden ships of some class or , other—gunboats one year, line-of battle ships and frigates the next, and gunboats again the year after ? We have ceased, as it seems, to build wooden first-rates, the French having ceased in 1856, and so saved five years of out lay upon an expiring fashion. We have also ceased to lay down frigates, but we are still going on P ttIOE 4D . STAMPED, 51). with the class below, though Lord C. Paget con fessed that the French were building even their gun boats of iron, and with such success as to give them a " very formidable character." Why, then, should we build eight sloops and five gun-vessels all of wood, while there is stall, as Lord Palmer ston remarked, " one point in which our Navy is not in a sutisfactory position—viz., that of iron ship ?" Would it not be better to direct our efforts towards strengthening our weak point, instead of expending them on a point where we are over whelmingly strong. In respect of men, there was certainly a good account given. The proposed reduction, nominally of 7,000, but really of 6,000 sailors, will not affect our defensive strength, having been rendered prac ticable simply by the conclusion of the Chinese War. Our reserves, it is once more affirmed, are now really coming on, and it is officially stated that in case of emergensy we could call upon 25,000 good seamen—a force sufficient to wan a powerful fleet. Added to the actual effectives, this gives us nearly 80,000 men, whereas it is admitted that France could only raise a similar Lumber by impressing almost every soul of her entire sea faring population. True it is, as the Prime Minis ter observed, that this is precisely the step which she might be expected to take; but still, if we have easily and promptly at our command as strong a force as our neighbours could raise by the most con vulsive and exhausting effort, we cannot be badly off in this respect. We must express our hopes, however, that Sir J. Elphinstone s hint will be taken, and that the fleet may be rather weeded than reduced in the proposed diminution of its nu merical strength. The Secretary of the Admiralty could give but an indefinite contradiction to the reports of the bad discipline said to prevail in the navy, and if it be true that we have two very dif ferent classes of seamen, it would be a thousand pities to lose U. good and retain the bad. How ever, upon the whole, this exposition of our naval affairs has not been unsatisfactory. We are unap proachably strong in wooden vessels, though the mode: is unluckily going out ; we are making some progress in iron vessels, which are coming in, and are fairly in a position of advantage, taking the two together. Above all, we have at length a good supply of seamen ; and, if the reduction of the esti mates is not so considerable as it might be, we can only trust that the economical problem will be solved along with that of Admiralty administration. —Times. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.--MAIDSTONE, March 12. Emmanuel Thomas Pope, 23, a private in the sth Dragoon Guards, was charged with wilfully and maliciously discharging a loaded gun at Margaret Carter with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Addison conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner, who was stationed with his regiment at Shorncliffe camp, had been for some time in the habit of " walking out," as was stated by the prosecutrix, who is a young girl living at Cheriton, in the neighbourhood of the camp, and they were on friendly terms at the time the trans• action took place that was the subject of inquiry. About half past one o'clock on the morning of the 26th February the prisoner went to the cottage where the prosecutrix was living, and where she was in bed with another young woman, and he called out to her and told her to get up and come out to him. She refused, and said that if he came at a proper time she would go out with him, but she would not do so at so late an hour. The prisoner upon this threw a stick at the lattice win dow, and broke several small panes of glass, and the prosecutrix asked him what he meant by acting in such a manner. The reply he made was, that he could pay for any windows that he might break, and he still urged the prosecutrix to come down to him, but she persisted in refusing. She then saw the prisoner take up his carbine and apparently load it, and he at the same time asked her if she knew what he had got there. She replied that she did not, and the prisoner then called out, " I have got my carbine, and if you don't come down to me I will send a shot: through you." The proscutrix upon hearing this retreated from the window, say ing that she wished the prisoner a very good night, and got into bed, and the prisoner then threw another stick at the window, and immediately afterwards discharged his piece through the win dow, but the prosecutrix did not receive any in jury. There was evidence that the frame of the window bore a mark apparently made by a bullet, but this fact was not clearly established, and it appeared that no bullet was found. The prisoner was taken into custody by the picket shortly after the occurrence, but a day or two after wards he contrived to make his escape from the guard room, and he was met by Pyne, one of the Kent county constabulary, several miles from the camp, going in the direction of Ashford. The con stable asked him if he had got a pass, and he replied that he had got his discharge ; but when he was asked to show it to him, he endeavoured to strike him with his carbine, and they struggled together for nearly half an hour before the prisoner could be secured. When under examination before the ma gistrate the prisoner said that he had been drink ing, and he knew nothing of what had happened until he found himself in custody. Mr. Justice Wightman, upon these facts, left it to the jury to say whether they believed that the prisoner really intended to do any serious mischief to the prosecutrix, taking into consideration the facts that she had left the window and was in bed at the time the gun was fired; or whether the pri soner merely intended to vent his ill-feeling at her refusal to go out with him, and to alarm her by dis charging the piece in the direction of the window. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. There was another charge against the prisoner of common assault, arising out of 019 same transaction, but no evidence was offered in support of it, and he was ordered to be at once discharged. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-EXETER, MARCH 12. MURDER BY, A SOLDIER. Robert Hacked, :aged 29, a private in the 61st regiment of Foot, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Henry Jones, a sergeant in the same regi ment, at Plymouth, on the sth of January last. Mr. Cox and Mr. Lopes prosecuted ; and Mr. H. T. Cole defended the prisoner. The facts of the case were of a simple character. The prisoner is a private in the 61st Regiment, and the deceased was a lance sergeant in the same corps. They had served together through the Indian campaign, and the prisoner had earned a medal for his good conduct in the field. On the sth of January Jones, the prisoner, and others were in the mess room of the barracks at Millbay, Plymouth' Hacked had brought a pensioner with him, ;who had also been in India, to whom he gave his dinner. Whilst at dinner the conversation turned on the Delhi prize money, and in the course of the con versation Jones, who was a jocular man, said that the pensioner would spin a similar yarn the next day for another such dinner. The prisoner said nothing at that time, but left in a few minutes, and did not return again for several hours. At about half-past five he came to the barrack room, and, according to the evidence of several witnesses, he was drunk. He said, "I am much obliged to No. 3 and No. 4 mess for insulting my friend" (the pen sioner). Upon this Jones made an observation, to which the prisoner rejoined, " It was all your fault, Harry." Jones, who was lying down on his bed, made use of some coarse expressions, whereupon the prisoner said that if he was not a sergeant, and if it were not for his getting 50 lashes, he would smash him where he lay in his cot. The prisoner then left, and in a few minutes returned again with his rifle and pouch. Jones went in an inner room, and whilst standing about 30 paces fro h prisoner, the latter put his rifle, not to s ho ul d er,u h th m e but to his hip, and shot the sergeant h throu g h g assin back, crushing t the backbone, the 1. bullet p assin g few g ignetroe custody a stody out of the bowels. The poor man minutes and expired. In ta an ken in the prisoner said he did not intend to shoot Ser g eant Jones, but to anoth er witness he said that he d id, and intended to have shot several others. It was proved that the prisoner and deceased had been on the best of terms p revious to this un happy event. Mr. Cole, for the defence, made an able, speech. He contended that the prisoner, whilst in a morbid state of drunkenness, had brought his rifle into the barrack-room, and had accidentally discharged it without any deliberate intention to kill the de ceased. His lordship havi ng sum med up, Thejury, after deliberating three-quarters of an hour, found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to death. The case lasted till ilve o'clock p.m. The flowers in Covent-garden surpass those of every other country, for the reason that every improvement in their cul ture is instantly adopted. From the same cause Herring's magnetic brushes and combs surpass every other means f or restoring grey hair to its original colour, and curing the most inveterate cases of neuralgi a and nervous headache.

This morning a, for-3igner, who represented him-' self as Baron Zychlinski, was brought before the' sitting magistrates at the police-office, charged with obtaining £4OO by false pretences from the. Rev. Henry Maltby, formerly of Nottingham. Mr. Hugh Bruce Campbell, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and stated that on the 18th September last, the prisoner arrived at the Flying Horse Hotel, Nottingham, 'accompanied by his courier. The Rev. Henry Maltby, his brother, and brother's wife were staying at the same hotel.. Mr. Maltby and family had previously been stay ing at Bedford, from which place they were fol.— lowed to Nottingham by the prisoner. While at the Flying Horse the prisoner stated, through his interpreter, that he was honourably attached to the prosecutor's eldest daughter, who was then at Myer with her mother, and solicited from Mr. Maltby' his daughter in marriage. He represented himself to be the Baron Zychlinski, son and heir at-law of Ccunt Zychiinski, of Zychlin near War saw. He also stated that he was captain of cavalry in the Prussian service. He then said that he had Leiriended the wife of the rev, gentleman, when she was staying in Rome and suffering from pecu niary difficulties, and also that he possessed her written acknowledgments for what he had advanced. The repayment of the money, he said, was only a secondary consideration, as compared with being able to satisfy his family of the respectability of the Maltbys, in order that he may get the consent of his own family to take Miss Maltby in marriage. These representations made a strong impression on the prosecutor, who thought he had said enough to induce him to repay the money said to have been advanced, if Mr. Campbell, his solicitor (who was present at the time) was satisfied about the matter. The prisoner then showed Mr. Campbell a number of documents, passports, &c., which re presented hirn to be what he had stated. He also produced documents said to have been received from his advocate, instructing the baron to commence an action against the prcsecutor for the recovery of the money said to have been advanced to his wife when in Rome. The prisoner showed bills and receipts from Mrs. Maltby amounting to £4OO, said to have been received front the prisoner. He pressed for immediate payment, as he wished to leave the town that afternoon for Germany. Mr. Campbell then took the prisoner to Messrs. Wrights' bank, and gave him a draft for the money. Before he left Nottingham prosecutor gave his consent for the prisoner's marriage with his daughter, which was arranged to take place at Dover, and which was consummated. Soon after the marriage, however, an inquiry was made as to tile position of the prisoner, and he was found to be an impostor, being, in fact, a deserter from the Prussian service, where he had been serving as a private soldier. Upon the prisoner's character be coming known the prosecutor took his daughter away from him, and he had not been seen for some time until yesterday morning, when, calling at Mr. Campbell's office, he was immediately apprehended. After hearing the above extraordinary statement the prisoner was remanded for a week, and pro ceedings are being commenced for a divorce. COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL—MARcH 12.
