Thi- inquest at the Royal Free Hospital will let poor silly John Bull into the way that inquests are got up by doctors from envy, malice. or uncharitableness. We ourselves know something on that head; and now, at this day, after nearly thirty years of persecution, there is not a Hygeian agent throughout the world who does not know that the inquests got up by low doctors ye •rs ago, in order to crush the immortal system of James Morison, the Hygeist, were ob tained at the high price of the mo-t wilful and e , rrupt perjury ! but as mere opinions then carried the day, they have hitherto escaped condign punishment; however, the eye of the world is still . upon them ! The inquest camraign seems now undertaken by thepeople against the do, tors. How wit it end? Let there be no buying off—no hush-money to stifle a full and fair inquiry. Let there he no one hundred pounds taken, or even a thousand, t) stop an inquest when ' wcessary ! ! It is really surprising, , coking at the grass contradic tions existing among d.)ctors themsel, es, that the people, both high and low, do not call out for a full and searching inquiry as regards 'the true theory of health and disease, for that is the great po•nt in which they are interested.

Deducting the time of the ces ' cation of the men from labour, the engines were fitted in exactly 54 hours, or little more than five working days of 10 hours each. Tho Lynx worked well on starting, and proceeded down the river to Woolwich, where she re mained about half an hour, to allow the men of the Tar tarus to go on sh o r e t o t a k e their dinner. On leav i ng Woolwi c h, she proceeded down the river to Lower Hope, below Gravesend, the engines working well the whole time, without any appearance of a hot bearing, although they were working up to 111 revolutions per minute. The time of passing the measured mile was not taken, as she has still a portion of the timbers used when launched attached to her bottom. She is furnished with two boilers; one constructed so as to be entirely under the water line, and capable, it is expected, of being able to propel the vessel at the rate of 10 miles an hour, and when both boilers are used it is calculated the speed will be 12 miles. The lower boiler will only be used when in action.

The workmen have resumed their labours upon the con struction of the Queen's new steam-yacht, the Windsor Castle, now building at Pembroke. She is fully half ad vanced, and, had not the great demand for small vessels tak In off the mechanics, she would have been nearly com pleted. She will now be fitted for paddle-wheel propulsion, the report of the commission being in its favour, in prefer ence to the screw. Her engines are to be supplied by the firm of Penn and Co., and they are to be upon their oscil lating principle, realizing from 26 to 28 revolutions, and this, it is calculated, will give a sp ee d o f 15 knots, or 17 to 18 statute miles per hour. The diameter of the wheels will be 30 feet, and the cylinder 84 inches, with a piston stoke of six feet. The nominal horse power will be 600. Her estimated tonnage is nearly 2,500, and the following are the principal dimensions upon which she is built : Length over all, 315 feet, ditto of keel, 300 feet, breadth of beam, 40 feet, depth of hold, 22 feet. In order to secure her rapid completion a large quantity of converted ti m b er has been sent round from the eastern ports. MILITARY. SAILING OF THE HI MALAYA WITH THE SOOTkt GREYS. Yesterday forenoon, about 9 o'clock, the Himalaya took her departure from the Mersey for Varna, with, the Soots Greys on board. She will call at Constantinople for orders, and it is expected she will land her human freight at Varna in 11days. She started with a fine breeze from E.S.E., and would make good speed down the channel. The Jason screw steam-transport ship, having embarked the materials of Capt. Townsend's field-battery on Tues day afternoon, the men and horses were embarked at Woolwich on Wednesday morning• A detachment of Me jor Romer's field-battery embarked at the same time, and also 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 bombadier, and 28 gunners and drivers of the Royal Horse Artillery—the latter to form a depot in the East, to fill up any casualties that may occur in the Royal Horse Artillery branch of the Ordnance corps already on service in Turkey. MOUSTACHE REGULATIONS FOR THE ARMY. It has at last been decided that the moustache shall be worn throughout the army by men of all ranks who desire to adopt it. The following is the Horse Guards circular on the subject : Horse Guards, 21st July, 1854. CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM. A large part of the army being employed in Turkey, where it has been found beneficial to keep the upper lip unshaven and allow the moustache to grow, the General Commanding.in-Chief is pleased to authorise that practise in the army generally, subject to the following regulations, which are to be strictly obeyed on home and colonial ser vice : A clear space of two inches must be left between the corner of the mouth and the whisker—when whiskers are grown. The chin, the under lip, and at least two inches of the upper part of the throat must be clean shaven, so that no hair can be seen above the stock in that place. The wearing of the moustache is to be optional with all ranks. The troops serving in the East will be allowed such further latitude in respect to shaving their beards and whiskers as the general officer commanding that army may deem it expedient to sanction during the continuance of that service. By command, GEORGE CATHCART, A.G. Recruiting parties are actively engaged in the north of Ireland for the three regiments of Guards. A large num ber of men have joined. The regiments of Royal Rifle Brigade, and 60th Rifles, and Royal MArines, are being considerably augmented. 46TH REGIMENT.— The 46th Regiment, now doing duty at Windsor Castle, is under orders to move for the East one day next week. The Staffordshire militia from Dover will afterwards do duty at Windsor for a month, only, when they will be relieved by the glorious 18th Royal Irish, from Canterbury, which regiment will remain at Windsor for the winter It is expected the result of the courts-martial on Lieut. Perry and Lieut. Greer, of the 46th Regiment, will be promulgated to-morrow*. DIN, EDNEDAY MORNING.

DEATH OF GENERAL Sil RENRY KING.—We have to record the death of another gallant and distinguished officer of the Peninsular army, General Sir Henry King, colonel of the 3d Regiment. Sir Henry served at the siege of Porto Rico and capture of T r i n id a d i n 1797, in the E g yptian campaign in 1801, including the action at Abou kir Bay, and at Rahminie, wher e h e commanded a squad ron of the 26th Light Dragoons, and lost his right leg i n the expedition to Walchern and s i ege of Flushing in 1839. In 1810 was appointed commandant of Tarifa, and for h i s services in its defence his commissi on of lieut.-colonel•was ante dated. Served also in the Peninsul a , commanded the 82d Regiment at Vittoria, and towards the close of that brigademlal, and the gold medal devolved upon him. for Vittoria, and the decorations of e.g. and K.O.H. and S.C. In March, 1845, he was appointed colonel of the 3d E the gyp t an Regiment (Buffs), and by the brevet of last month attained action the the rank of general. RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY.—Yesterday • , / morning a large commandc e vedth of men, who arr . number of fine young Western and Great Northern, Railways were paraded and - medically inspe • etc(' at the principal recruiting-office, Man of Delahay-street, Westminster . . y them were volun teers from regiments of the line on the home establishment and the militia, for service in the several corps at the seat of war, and, with only three or four exceptions, were finally approved and marched to the depots of their re spective regimentspreparatory, to embarking DESERTERS FROM THE MILITIA . — I n consequence of the order for embodying several regiments of militia for per manent service, the desertion of fellows who prefer an in active life, and who only enlisted for the sake of the bounty so numerous, that in add t the authorities have become . the ar cs o o usual iusertion of their names in Pokce tte, the authorities have considered it necessary to forward their names and descriptions to the parochial officers of the parishes in which they resided at the time of their enlist ment, and also to those of any parishes in which it was known they had subsequently resided, with a view t o their speedy apprehension, and lists of the defaulters aro now to be posted up at the church doors of the district in which they last resided. VOLUNTEERS FOR THE NAVY.—Yesterday m orn i ng 4 large number of able and ordinary seamen and stokers' were forwarded from her Majesty's ship Crocodile to the flag-ship at Sheerness, for service in the Baltic fleet. The services of the stokers are principally required for the steam-boat flotilla, some vessels of which have been recently commissioned. Commander Greet, of the Croco dile, and the officers and petty officers under his com mand, have been for the last ten days particularly fortu nate in obtaining volunteers for particular ships; but men for general service are not easily to be got, the blue jackets considering it only right that they should have the choice of the vessel in which they are to do duty. Owing to the unparalleled smallness of Dublin garrison by reason of the' withdrawal of so many regiments for ser vice in the East, the military guards have been reduoed in number to the minimum point. At the Castle, Bank of Ireland, and other stations not half the former complement of men is called upon to do duty, but even with this marked reduction the life of a soldier in the metropolis is not an idle one, and, unless some relief is afforded by the more general aid of the constabulary, or by the employ ment of the militia, a still further dimizu l ti on. mot e elected in th e mow gßalid Wit citi . . - - --- - - THE WINDSOR COURT-MA RTIAL. (From, the Times.) Had the Court-martial upon Lieutenant Greer been an isolated proceeding, it would have been unnecessary for us to say one w or d upon the subject. The military prisoner might have been left to his military judges, who are per fectly competent to decide the question of whether or not the offences with which he stands charged are in harmony with the character of "an officer and a gentleman." Even now, as far as he is concerned, we should be perfectly wil ling to let the matter pass sub silentio, were it not that the evidence taken in the last case supplies ninny of the defi ciencies too obvious in the minutes of the former investi gation. We care very little indeed what his judges and the Horse Guards may think it right to do with Lieut. Greer—we have no wish to bring out the strong points of the case against him, save in so far as they are inseparable from the conclusions in favour of his antagonist. In a word, we are not striving for the condemnation of Lieutenant Greer, but for the acquittal of Lieutenant Perry. Whether it is right that the former of these two officers should con tinue to hold the Queen's commission after the evidence that has appeared against him is no concern of ours ; but the case of Lieutenant Perry stands on very different grounds. Here is a young man arraigned before a military tribunal for doing that which any man with one spark of manly feeling left in his composition would have done upon more * slender provocation. He was subjected to a long course of bullying ; ho was abused ; he was 'bespat tered with the most foul and obscene epithets ; he was made the object of personal violence by a man far his superior in physical strength ; and at length indignation got the better of his indecision or his forbearance, he seized a candlestick from the table which stood near, and knocked down his assailant. Who among us would have clone loss? Who would not have done much more? Lord Hardinge is at the head of the army—a man of untarnished honour, a soldier of courage, bright and polished as his sword; what would he have done, even now that aga has in some measure checked the impetuous soldier of Albuhera, had he been selected by a vulgar bully as the object of insult so intolerable? The thing might have happened to him in a railway car rive—in the public street ; what could he or would he have done in the last resort but simply what Lieutenant Perry did the other day ? It is clear enough that this un lucky lad had better have kept out of bad company ; that is, had nothing to do with his brother officer ; but then he is but a lad just out of his teens, and that must be his excuse for associating in his private hours with those whom he met on parade and in the mess-room. There is no evidence that the lad was an habitual•gambler. Before this trans action he had played once or twice for the most trifling sums of money, and can never be said, in the course of his short military career, to have "gambled" at all until the night when he was fairly rallied and bullied into so doing by the very man who is now seeking his destruction. It cannot fail to strike the most careless observer that Lieut. Greer's defence does not shake one single fact ad vanced by Lieut. Perry in explanation. We should blush to write in excuse of his conduct. The greater part of the defence consists of a wordy attempt to convince the Court that Lieut. Perry was a witness in his own cause, and therefore that his evidence was not to be trusted. We should be curious to know in what predicament Lieut. Greer considers himself to stand ? What is there that should induce us to give to his words the credit which he wishes'us to deny to those of his opponent ? But we do give credit to the statements of Lieut. Perry; not only be cause they have been confirmed, where necessary, by the statements of most unwilling witnesses, but because Lieut. Greer has been unable to set them aside in any single im portant particular relative to the matter in hand. We should be well content to rest the justice of Lieut. Perry's acquittal upon Lieut. Perry's statement of his case. But, when we look a little further into the second of the two de fences, we confess we are not a little surprised to find the bully bringing the charge of " vindictiveness" against his victim. Is the first investigation a matter so remote from memory, that we have forgotten how Greer left it to the Court to suppose that Perry had attacked him more than once, at intervals, and when he was in a state of half insensibility ? We trust, for the honour of human nature, that the suggestion came from some older head than his own, and that he was too great a dolt to calculate the effect it might produce. It is also not forgotten that in a trial such as this, in which officers and gentlemen sit to decide upon the conduct of officers and gentlemen, Greer over and over again refused to answer the questions which Perry thought it necessary to put to him. Who, with a feeling of honour and a consciousness of rectitude, would take ad vantage of a parcel of quibbles and technical rules in a case of that kind ? Lieutenant Greer was not arguing a case in court, with a Jew attorney on one side of him, and a special pleader on the Bther, but he was ac cusing his brother officer before a roomfull of gentlemen of ruffianism and disgraceful conduct. In such a case how is it that the words " I refuse to answer that question" were so frequently heard from Lieutenant Greer's lips? There was no conceivable question he should have refused to an swer. Above all, it must be remembered that here was this poor lad Perry fighting his battle with every man's hand against him ; the Colonel of his regiment the accuser, and interposing at every moment with any suggestion which might damnify his case ; the Deputy-Judge-Advocate pulling him up whenever there was an opportunity, and professing to be a friend of both sides, while he was in reality pressing against one ; every man against him, and yet he had the wit and courage to defend himself—we should say to justify himself, in a manner which will not speedily be forgotten. The matter cannot, we presume, rest with the termina tion of the inquiry into the conduct of these two young officers. The public Neill not readily be brought to believe that Colonel Garrett, the commanding officer, is not most deeply to blame for the condition in which his regiment is found to be. (Ppm. the keaminer.) Why was not Lieutenant Greer put upon. his trial, in stead of Lieutenant Perry? is the question of every one who has road the proceedings of the Windsor Court- Martial. Lieutenant Greer was the assailant ; and the blows he received were given by Lieutenant Perry, to free his person from his persecutor's hands. A long series of provocation was ended by a sudden and rough act of chastisement. But the prosecutor, Colonel Garrett, was obviouslyanxions to keep out of view the facts preceding the violence ; and this was quite natural on his p ar t, f or th e y are acts dis graceful to the discipline and character of his regiment, and they raise a very grave question against the officer in command, under whom such conduct could be suffered. The President of the Court, who hadnot the same obvious motive for suppressing the disgraceful truths, yet presented every technical difficulty to the disclosure of the provoca tions, atttempting to confine the evidence to the cireum stances immediately connected with the assault. This would in effect have been to exclude Lieutenant ferry's defence altogether, for his justification was provocation, and the provocation was a series of outrages. Mr Greer seems to have seized upon Mr. Perry, who was what is called, by way of opprobrium, a quiet man, as his property. He was to play with him at the game of his choice and upon his own terms, and he was to play till he lost, or he was to be called the foulest and filthiest names and hauled about. First, the game was billiards. And here the character of the man appears ; for, entering the billiard room, he desires the gentlemen in possession of the table to finish their game quickly, as, forsooth, he wishes to play. He plays several games with Mr. Perry, wins a trifle, and proposes double or quits, at which he loses. The next proceeding is to bring a woman into the barracks and Mr. Perry is challenged to toss up—for what? To treat Mr. Greer's woman to a bottle of wine ! Gre r was now 51. in Mr. Perry's debt ; so "go and get a pack of cards and give nie my revenge" is the word, the system being to go on playing till the luck should turn in Mr. Greer's favour. Cards could not be got, but Mr. Greer was not unprovided. / Mr. Greer, an officer in her Ma jesty's service, had a snug little roulette table, a thing liabe to seizure on a race-course, or in a hell • and he im portuned Mr. Perry int o pl a yi ng a t the unlawful game, and with such success that at one time they were nearly quits, when he complimented Perry on losing back his money in these terms, that " he was the best fellow in the world, and acted like a gentleman ;"—that is to say, he lost. But the luck turned again, and then Greer became abusive. Perry left the room ; Greer followed him, and dragged him back by main force. The play was resumed, and Greer repeated his former conduct. Again Perry escaped and went to his room, again he was seized ; and Perry havin g had recourse to the expedient of Joseph, Greer seized by the waistcoat, and treated him, as Perry phrases it, " in a most outrageous manner." After some period of indulgence in this way, Greer or dered Perry to go through the sword exercise, but changed his mind, and instead, insisted on Perry's betting 501. that he would cut a candle in two, which he did,!andloo/;that he would cut another in two, which he also did. Now this was not being a good fellow and acting like a gentleman, which was to lose ; so Greer commenced an attack upon Perry, dashing him about, and calling him opprobrious names. Perry, not being his assailant's equal in strength, then took up the first thing that came to hand, and applied it vigorously to Mr. Greer's head, and presently put him hors de combat. Greer's sense of Perry's character now appeared ; for, finding himself severely hurt, he actually sent Perryon the errand for a surgeon. By this highly significant circum stance, he confessed that in his then opinion (when smart ing under the blows) Perry was not actuated by any malignity towards him, and that having done what was necessary to self-defence, he knew he would do no more, except in the way of charity and succour. In this recapitulation we rely in part on Mr. Perry's defence, which is simple and feeling, and bears every mark of truth ; and we trust to• it, because it is corroborated in several important points by the evidence of Greer himself, and also that of the woman, who was a witness of most of the scenes of profligacy and outrage. It cannot be denied that Perry made rather too unmea mired use of the candlesticks. But in all such cases an, pro vocation carries interest; and the much -enduring blow who strikes at last, strikes twice or thrice for the n one which would have served in prompter season. Lie.u.gteeinrt Perry ought to have resisted the first personal toie isivoty, ni and if, being the weaker, he had ha d recourse his to protect himself against the bully, he.woueltdkhaaevwewbheeerne thoroughly justified. But he evidently did not to draw the line, where to oominenceseli-atshseeretaieosne, hfoerwhaes had been, it seems, the butt of the regiment e o f a te e n to ro g u e se th d r u eu p g i h n !poor and frugal. He states that h e the night by his brother officers an d w as ma e the sword exercise naked. He should have made his sword protect him from such indignity, We do not mean that he as he had in vain appealed to his superior officers. should have had recourse to dtelling ie, as every good sub but that he should have defended himself against outrage, ject is free to do, by all mean s in his power. Even th e model of forbearance, Sir Charles Grandisen, has recourse to force upon a suitable occasion. Upon the close of Lieutenant Perry's defence the p roe" cutor, Colonel Garrett , observed that there were st atements s in it which he could con tradict, but t hat he would not occupy the time of the court with the disproof, as they were general, and not relevant to the issue. And this pre judicial remark passed without the reprehension or notice of the court ! C o l on el Garrett ought to have be en t o l d that he had no . i right to i mpug n the truth of Lie u t enant Perry without instancing the statements disputed, and producing his o wn I counter-statem ents, so that th e court might judge between them. To assert that a part of the defence is false, is to int i ma t e that the whole may be false —tor a man capable ochliglickid ill GO PitztOulias ilMt be capable of A izia /' ~fj ~/~2 ~~ L/ / %~ ~t-t [PRICE SD. others which he is interested to misrepresent. Stich a charge should not have been breathed without proof, and the court would have expressed that opinion if it had a notion of what is due to justice. But the proceedings of this court throughout bore the complexion of the court-partial. The Mutiny Act, as in terpreted, was everywhere standing between Lieutenant Perry and his object of complete disclosure of his provoca tions, and, on the other hand, screening Lieutenant Greer. We give a sp ec i men : After some further questions the prisoner asked, while I was within your grasp, you being tho stronger man, did I not, in self-defence, strike you, as you have already stated? Witness—You did dot strike me in self-defence. Prisoner-IVhen you say that I did not strike you in self-defence, do you mean to assert that I was not attacked by you, and within your grasp at the moment I struck you? Witness—You were not within my grasp when you struck me. Calonel Garrett —You stated that you dragged prisoner back by the collar into your room ; did you do so in anger or otherwise? Witness—lt was not in anger. Col. Garrett said he merely wished to show the animus. The prisoner, whose justification is intolerable provoca tion, asks Lieut. Greer whether ho had not applied the most insufferable terrns.to him • he si gn ifi cant l y enough refuses to answer, and th e President puts it to Lieutenant Perry whether it is necessary to his defence to persist in putting such questions, they all being of the same cha racter. To be sure they were all of the same character, as all proving the same system of provocation. And if the prisoner had killed his assailant instead of beating him, the circumstances upon which he laid only due stress would have taken the act out of the category of murder, and reduced it to justifiable homicide. We admire Colonel Garrett's inquiry of Lieutenant Greer, whether, when he dragged Mr. Perry back into hi* room by the collar, it was in anger, or otherwise. The leading question was, expected. It is possible,answered as was to be of indeed, course that Mr. Greer may have h li a tt u l d e l p e O l c M ke r t . ProeulrrYettaes- ho ta b o le, m u l e d r e h l y a n a d s e a a u d t i e c n e s - i b l o x for , o p r a his y and with a view only to getting back the money which, by the bye, he had taken good care not to pay him; but whether one gentleman drags another by the collar in anger or not, the one so dragged may be permitted to be angered thereby, and to knock down his insolent assailant with the first implement that comes to hand. The fact is that Colonel Garrett was as much concerned in this ,prosecution as Mr. Greer, for the defence of Mr. Perry necessarily went to prove facts incompatible with a proper state of discipline, and with the conduct which it is the duty of a commanding officer to maintain. Prisoner—Was it not found that cards could not be ob tained, and did you not produce a roulette box ; and did I not say that I did not understand the game, but played, and afterwards won 100/. of you ? Witness—Yes. Prisoner—Did I not then leave your room and go to my own ; and did you not follow me and drag me back again by the collar? Witness—Yes, I did. . . Prisoner—Did we not play again, at your earnest solici tation, and was not I again tho winner Witness—Yes, Prisoner—Did you not follow me to my room, and call me a "-- son of a —," and "a swindler?" Witness—With the Court's permission, I beg to decline answering. The President said—l will put it to the prisoner whether it is necessary to his defence to persist in putting such questions ; they are all of the same character. Prisoner—There were only Lieutenant Greer and myself present, and lam anx i ous t o s h ow the provocation. Can I hope to be examined on oath myself ? The President replied in the negative Prisoner—Does not the Court think that under the act of August, 1851, I could be examined on oath ? The President—Not unless power is given by the Mutiny Act. Prisoner—l wish to show that I was most forbearing, and that the assault was struck in self-defence ; all my questions go to prove that. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Harrier, 17, screw, will haul out of the steam-basin dock to morrow (this day) to get masted and rigged. Ariel, 9, screw, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday evening from Pembroke, in charge of Mr. Tonquin, assistant-mas ter attendant ale Portsmouth dockyard. This beautiful little screw corvette was only launched at Pembroke on the evening of the 13th. Mr. Tonquin went from this yard with 23 seamen, riggers, and pensioners, and by the 20th she was jury-rigged, and fit to go to China. On leaving Pembroke wind not favourable; they were also tormented with a suc cession of calms. rhen they did get a little breeze, she trilled like a witch, beating everything they came across, either on or off the wind. She came into harbour at 9 a.m.; at 3 p.m. she was stripped to the stumps, and her sails and rigging returned into store. She will instantly be brought forward for commission. Sealark, 8, Lieut. Commander Fenwick, returned into Seaham on Wednesday afternoon from her Channel cruise. She will now turn her ship's company over to the Rolla, 6, and be attached to the Illustrious as tender. The Rhadamanthus, 4, paddlewheel steam-transport, Master-Com. John Belem, was detained at Sheerness un til yesterday, in consequence of the Melampus, Master Coin. John Jackson, having to take in a quantity of stores for Portsmouth-yard, required for immediate service. The Ithadamanthus left Sheerness at-1 30 p.m. yes erday. with the Melampus in tow, for Portsmouth, Devonport, Pem broke, and Glasgow; it blew a strong wind (in force 5,) when they left, from east north-east. Atholl, 4, store-ship, Lieut. Commander William A. R. Pearse, from the west coast of Africa, arrived and anchored off Cowes on Tuesday night, and was towed into harbour this evening by Echo, steam-tug. She is 46 d•ls from As cension; officers and crew well. She brings home Peneiope's guns and dockyard stores; her 110W3 has been anticipated. The following are the names of officers who took passage in her :—Captain M'Arthur, R.M., and Mr. Bowman, Paymaster, R.N., of the A ntelo p e, on promotion ; Mr. J. B. Anderson, mate, of h er Ma j est y 's. ship Crane ; Mr. White, clerk, of Ascension-yard; Mr. Robinson, mate, of her Majesty's steamer Pluto; Mr. Achindachy, engineer, of her Majesty's steamer Plumper; and 27 invalids, sea men and marines. Her Majesty's steamer Archer has captured the Wil mina, Vorman master, off Pinto'. She has been sent home in charge of a prize crew. The Archer left Memel on the 21st inst., to cruise in search of vessels breaking the blockade. By advices received from the White Sea it appears her Majesty's • squadron had captured some Russian vessels, corn laden, as also a war schooner called the Wolga, which have been sent home to England for condemnation.. Two French ships-of-war, the Beaumanoir and Psyche, have joined the rendezvous at Hamerfest. - Two new vessels of war, each of 20 guns, are being built at Chatham. They are to be named the Cadmus and vessel the Lyra eall Charybdis.

Three troop-ships for service in the Baltic, to be named. the Urgent, Perseverance, and Transit, built for Govern ment, are now ready for launching in the port of London. Adviees were received yesterday, under date Gibraltar, July the 10th, that the French transport Pericles, Guichon master, from Bordeaux, with provisions and 2,000,000 f. for the. French commissariat at Constantinople, had been in collision off Malaga with a steamer, and was sunk with the treasure. Thesteam-yacht Vesta, Lord Newborough, on a cruise, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday. At noon on Mon day, when coming round the Lana's-end, wind E.S.E., a foreign brigantine bore up to windward, until sufficiently near to make out the yacht, when she suddenly put about before the wind, and was soon out of sight. She was a new vessel, with span new sails, rather deeply laden, and had a very large deckhouse. There was no appearance of arms. On Saturday, at 3 p.m., a brig-of-war, supposed to be the Nautilus, w as o b served off the Lizard. The Royal George, yacht, was towed up to her moorings on Wednesdoy morning by Echo, having undergone neces sary repairs to her hull and copper. The Dartmouth, 42, was on Wednesday navigated to the river Thames, to lie near the Dreadnought for the reception of cholera cases. The A mericln corvette Preble, Commander Cravens, sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Cherbourg, then to Brest, after which she proceeds to Madeira, and returns to America in October next. The Owen Glendower, Indiaman, sailed this morning for Bombay . ; wind, E.N.E. THE NEW GUN BOATS. The Lynx, screw-steam despat c h gun -b oa t , Lieutenant commander John P. Luce, having tri e d h er eng i nes at half past seven ,o'clock on Tuesday evening, and finding th e y worked very satisfactorily at her moorings, it was decided that she should be tried down the river on Wednesday, to test their permanent working capabilities. Lieutenant commander Luce, having hoisted his pendant on board, was present during the trial, and she left her moorings at John Penn and Sons' establishment, at the east end of Deptford dockyard, at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, navigated under the direction of Mr. Mugford, master of the Fisgard, flag ship 'at Woolwich, with 20 men of the crew of the Tar tarus steam-vessel, and Mr. Barnes, one of the Government pilots from Woolwich. Mr. Berkeley, son of Bear-Admiral Berkeley, Mr. F. P. Smith, who has done so much for the introduction of the screw propeller in the navy, and Mr. Hartree, of the firm of John Penn and Son, the construc tors of him' engines, were also on board to witness the way in which they would work, considering that they had been fitted in so short a time after being launched, without the least port!on of machinery on board.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at the offices, Lothbury ; Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., in the chair. The balance sheet was taken as read. On the debit side of the revenue account were the following items : Salaries and wages, 21,9141. Bs. 4d. ; station expenses, 2,0701. lls. 10d. ; rent 4, taxes, gas, and insurance, 3,4461. Os. 2d. ; books, stationery, and printing, 2,5441. Os. 3d. ; postage, 145/. ss. Bd. ; charges for intelligence and sundries, 1,377/. 14s. 6d. ; law charges, 6101. ss. 3d. ; direction, audit, and district committees, 7201. ; superintendents, stores, and maintenance, 9,394/. 4s. 7d. ; interest on debenture debt, 1,948/. 3s. 10d. ; balance, 17,044/. 17s. 4d.; total, 61,2151. lls. 9d. The receipts for messages, subscriptions, interest, and maintenance during the half-year amounted to 61,2151. lls. 9d. Under the head "general balance " was the following :--Dividend on 12,000 shares, class A, and 11,900 shares, class B, at 7 per cent. per annum, to be proposed at the general meeting, 16,7301 ; balance, after payment of dividend, 4,072/. ; total, 20,8021. The balance, after payment of the dividend on the 31st Dec., 1853, was 3,757/. 2s. Bd., which, with the balance of revenue amount on the 30th June, 1854, made the total 20,802/. TheCHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the accounts, said the directors had done everything in their power to render the working of the lines as efficient as possible. They now experienced all the competition which they were likely to meet with, and there had been no diminu tion in the receipts. A company bad been formed which promised to carry messages to any part of the country for a charge of sixpence for twenty words, but the fact that it was defunct proved that there was a limit to com petition. (Hear, hear.) Since the last meeting the wires had been constructed on 13 different railways, and there were now in progress 3,869 miles of new wire. The motion was adopted unanimously. On the motion of the Chairman, the following resolu tion was agreed to :—That the profits accumulated and placed to the reserve fund be divided rateably, and paid to the registered shareholders by the distribution amongst them of 4,000 new 25/. shares, upon each of which 15/. shall be credited as paid up and charged upon such pro fits ; and the sum of 51. (making together 20/. per share paid up) shall be payable on the 12th day of August next, on the delivery of such share. A dividend was declared for the half-year at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, and a resolution was passed, assigning to the directors an allowance of 2,300/. per annum. The meeting then separated. _RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

The captain of the steam-tug reports the wind at the time light, from NNE, the ship with all available sails set, and making about 5 knots per hour. He also reports that shortly after leaving the Marco Polo the wind freshened from the NE, which would be exceedingly favourable for the ship. The Marco Polo, during her three celebrated trips, had always favourable weather at starting, and her fourth voyage commences even under more favourable auspices. THE NEW ACT FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF GAMING• HOUSES.—Yesterday the important act for the suppression of gaming-houses, which received the Royal assent on Monday, was printed. It will come into operation on Tuesday next. The preamble recites the difficulties the police have experienced in getting into common gaming-houses, and then finding all implements of gaining removed or destroyed. It was therefore expedient to make the law more efficient for the suppression of gaming houses. It is enacted that any person who shall wil fully prevent any constable or officer authorised under the Bth and 9th Vict., c. 109, from entering any place suspected, by bolt, bar, chain, or other contrivance, shall, on summary conviction, be fined notgam ienxge.eheodii.nisge 1001., or be committed for six months with or Without bard labour.

(From the Daily News.) Was it personal spite against Admiral Napier, or merely stupidity, or something worse, that led Admiral Berkeley to read in the House of Commons, on Tuesday. extracts from private letters of the Baltic admirals ! When the public want to be reassured as to the prospects of the war, they are merely made acquainted with letters which it was a breach of official confidence to make pub lic. What good can it do to us to know that the admi rals have declared the forts to be impregnable ? But if it does no good to us to be told such news, there is one person to whom such news is invaluable, and that person is the only one who will be benefited Ly the disclosures of Admiral Berkeley. The Czar, when he receives the intelligence that the commanders of the most powerful fleet ever fitted out have declared the position they were sent to attack to be impregnable, will be furnished with btlsaohoii : u s pf from ni the the h i the precise information which he wanted. He will look upon the northern portion of his empire to be safe, oven according to the decision of the most competent of his enemies, and he will be enabled to pay undivided atten tion to that. other portion of his frontier which is more endangered. The extracts from the letters of Sir Charles Napier and Admiral Chads will doubtless be printed in large letters and distributed throughout the empire, for the consolation of the Czar's despairing sub jects. Caricatures will not be wanting. Napier may be represented as the chafed lion gnawing his tail in dis gust, and the scientific Chads may be shown in the garb of the desolate Sister Anne in " Blue Beard," peering Chads, it , e , u lx t ie i t n y a a la t ri t n he to b w o a t r to d m s , C m ro a n y sf e a a d l t i , o w u h t, ile ,, B si ri st ta er nnia, Sister Chads, do von see anything to be frightened at r' They, and the nation at large, will have to thank a Lord of the Admiralty for this. The speech of Admiral Berkeley is a 6 ucoessful re newal of the attempt made by the Russian organ some time ago to excite despair as to the aspect of affairs in the Baltic, and thus, by diminishing the energy of our na, o iane p byu e li r alf a irrt t eey i s o p.h n l s amoH t ee here, to cause a diversion in favour of the Autocrat.

W e h ave now been at open war fottr months, and have sent to the Baltic and to the Black Seas powerful fleets, amply provided with the means of inde pendent locomotion, yet scarcely anything has been done that might not have been accomplished without the aid of steam power. And now we are told nothing can be done. Is it that the vaunted advantages of steam fall far short of expectation, or is it that our naval comman ders do not know how to apply the new power placed at their disposal ? They have certainly as yet shown no capacity for contriving new modes of operation. All the use they have made of steam has been to do that which must necessarily have suggested itself. Thus at the bom bardment of Odessa the continued movement of the ships as they successively fired their broadsides at the forts to prevent the enemy from taking a steady aim, was a ma noeuvre that wculd have been practised by sailing vessels with a favourable wind. The daring but useless entry of a river in the Baltic by two small steamers was another feat which the means at command suggested. But there is in these achievements nothing beyond what any com mon sailor in the fleet must have known to be possible. There is no doubt that the facility of taking any required station, without regard to the wind, has been found a great convenience in the movements of the combined fleets, but something far more important was promised and expected as the result of modern improvements in warfare. One of the most obvious uses to which steam power might be applied is that of placing our ships just be yond the range of the enemy's guns, whilst they batter the forts with heavy ordnance of longer range ; but it seems that the attacking ships are not sufficiently pro vided with large guns to do effectual execution at a die lance, and that they cannot, therefore, expect to destroy the batteries by their fire without themselves suffering considerable damage. Wooden ships, it is now said by those who would palliate delay, have little chance against granite walls, the previously prognosticated de structive effects of a concentrated broadside from a first rate man-of-war being conveniently forgotten ; but it the batteries of Cronstadt and Sebastopol are really so very formidable that even with the advantage of independent movement and concentration of fire it would not be pru dent to expose our ships within their range, there may be other and less hazardous means of destroying the Russian forts, which an ingenious and skilful applica tion of the resources of science might effect, in combina tion with steam navigation, if our naval officers would shake off the shackles of routine. The influence of rou tine is indeed so strong that it generally clogs the pro gress of every new invention, and prevents its capabili ties from being fully developed. Even in the transmis sion of messages by electric telegraph, a plan so entirely different from anything previously known, the spirit of routine was for a long while pndoruinant, and strenuous attempts were made, and have not yet been altogether abandoned, to tie up the lightning power with red tape ; we can scarcely expect, therefore, that in our naval service, men disciplined i n rou ti ne s h ou ld adapt themselves at once to new circumstances, and be able to avail themselves of the numerous appliances which may be brought to bear as conse quences of steam navigation : It is highly probable, however, that ero long their eyes will be opened to some of the peculiar opportunities which they now possess of destroying the enemy's works. 31. Jacobi is teaching a lesson which ought not to he thrown away. The in genious inventor of the electrotype has been connecting his insulated wires with " infernal machines" in the nar row channels round Cronstadt ; and wo may conceive him to be watching, like a spider in the recesses of its web, till our ships approach within the striking distance to make contact with the voltaic battery that is to ignite the gunpowder and destroy them. He probably irn• agines that the proverb, " those who live in glass houses should not throw stones," is not applicable to his posi tion behind the granite walls of Cronstadt ; but it would not be difficult by imp rov i ng on hi s exampe to convince him that he is most exposed to be injured by such an ap plication of electric science. Though the massive walls of Cronstadt are infinitely more substantial than the aerial structure of the Crystal Palace, there are explosive agents that would rend the granite blocks asunder as readily its an explosion of gunpowder would shiver the fragile material at Sydenham. Among those sub stances, gun-cotton, though most recently invented, is best known. The rapidity of its actioa is so intense that in comparison with it the inflammation of gunpowder seems slow burning. The sudden action of its explosive force prevents gun-cotton from being safely substituted for gunpowder in fire-arms, but for merely explosive purposes, as " infernal ma chines," it might he available with terrificaPy de structive effect. We can scarcely suppose that the attention of our naval commanders has not been f directed to this peculiar property and ap e pl t i h a e n i c r es not gun-cotton, and we roust therefore attr f ibut routine.
