Immediately, in post Bvo., ATWO MONTHS' RESIDENCE in the CONFEDERATE STATES, including a visit to New Orleans under the administration of General Butler. By an ENGLISH •MERCHANT. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. money, but said he had left him two sixpences in his pocket and some coppers, lest he should be des titute, and had assisted him to button up his clothes which were buttoned awry. He then left him on the walls of the town, and not being easy in his mind about him had returned after his tea to look after him, and after a search had found him lying near the flagstaff, he having apparently fallen off the wall. With some difficulty he got him on his back and carried him across the country to the Cowpont gate, and was obliged to rust two or three times as ha went, and he then threw him down at Mrs. Da vidson's door, that she or some person passing might see him, and watched near till he saw the police take him away. This statement was taken to the deceased and read over to him, and he in a dy ing declaration denied its truth, and said that the injuries he had received were done by the prisoner by kicks when tie robbed him, and alleging that the prisoner " had murdered him right out." It was also shown that the distance the prisoner said he had carried the deceased was 640 yards and was over very rough ground, with several walls and stiles and ditches intervening. It was elicited that it was not impossible for the prisoner to have carried the de ceased as stated, but very improbable. For the defence the drunken state of deceased, as proved by several witnesses, was urged as render ing his recollection of what had happened to him not to be relied; on. His deposition was but the re collection ofa drunken man, and his dying declara tion was, in truth, but a copy of hisideposition, read over to him, with an averment added to it by the magistrate's clerk, that he believed he was dying and had no hope of recovery, and assented to in monosyllables by the deceased and signed by him. It was unworthy of any credit as to the facts it professed to describe. The prisoner's statement was urged as likely to be true. He admitted the rob bery. It was unlikely he should have taken the man to Airs. Davidson's door to rob him there, having the solitude of the walls, where he could do it. His statement that he left the deceased two six pences in his poaket and some copper was con firmed, also that he had buttoned the deceased's dress awry. This would seem to show that the drunken and helpless man had been robbed and left as described by the prisoner, and that he was after wards found by him and carried to Mrs. Davidson's door, where he left him. The injury to the spine in all probability, from the strength of the part in jured, could only have been done by a fall on his back on some stone, from some height, and this might have happened to the deceased after he was left alone, or when he was being carried across the rough country to the Cowpontgate, and was lifted helpless over the stiles, or when he was thrown down at Mrs. Davidson's door-step. If the injury of which he died were received in any of these ways then it was not an injury inflicted by the prisoner in the commission of a felony, and the jury must acquit him, as the crime of m urder was not esta blished. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury that they must be satisfied that the violence which had resulted in the death of the deceased was used in committing the robbery; for although the prisoner might not have intended to murder the deceased, yet if death resulted from the violence used while robbing him, that, by the law of England, was murder, and they must find the prisoner guilty. But if they were not satisfied of that on the evi dence they must acquit him. The jury retired and, after a short absence, re turned with a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then put on his trial on a charge of robbery with violence. He admitted the robbery but denied any violence. On this occasion he was not defended, and after the patience of the Court was much taxed by long and pointless cross-exami tions of the winesses by the prisoner, he was found Guilty, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude. The case occapied the day. about five o'clock, the woman with the child went to a wine merchant's at Uppingham, where she bought some rum, whieh was given to her in a bottle similar to that found in Mr. Finch's grounds, and having the name of the wine mer chant, ". Compton, Uppingham," stamped upon it. The prisoner was also near Uppingham in com pany with a woman and child about the same time going in the direction of Oakham. On the same evening, about midnight, a publican at Oakham, named Fletcher, was standing at the door of his house, and saw the prisoner, whom he noticed because he supposed he might be in search of a lodging, going along the Burley-road in the direction of Mr. Finch's house, and a very short distance from it. This witness, however, held not seen the prisoner before, and when taken to identify him was shown the prisoner alone in his cell. The witness also on cross-examination denied that he had told Mr. Garton, the governor of the gaol, that he had not seen the man's face and could not iden tify him ; but on these points he was contradicted by Mr. Garton. On the morning after the burglary the stolen label was picked up on the Uppingham road, about 100 yards from Oakham ; and about 7 o'clock the same morning a man was observed from a distance of 300 yards in a field in the parish of Bidbrook, which is about seven miles from Oak ham and one mile from Uppingham, walking up and down and apparently waiting for some one. The man was dressed similarly to the prisoner ; and on afterwards searching the place where he had been walking about, the bead workbag, the elk-hoof scent-bottle, the miniature case, and the agate cups and spoons were found under a bramble bush, covered with hedges. About three on the day fol lowing the prisoner went to the lodging-house at Stamford from which his sister had. been previously taken by the police, and, on learning that his sister had been apprehended, went away. He was appre hended in Nottingham on the 29th of October, and searched by the policeman, who felt in his pockets but found nothing. He was then brought to Oak ham, and his clothes were taken off and emptied on to a table which had been previously wiped clean with a duster. On this occasion a bead similar in ' size to those upon the workbag and some little bits of enamel were found in the pockets. It was also noticed that the prisoner's coat sleeve was smeared with paint, apparently corresponding with the paint on the gate at the bottom of Finch's lane, which was of a light lead colour, and had been made in obedience to special directions from Mr. Finch. The prisoner's boots were also examined, and were stated by several witnesses to correspond in length and breadth with the footmarks near the library window ; but it turned out that Mr. Garton had been round the house before the footsteps were discovered, and it was not clear that the footsteps spoken to by these witnesses were not the footsteps of Mr. Garton, as there was nothing peculiar about the footmarks in the shape of marks or nailprints to distinguish them from the footmarks of any other boot of a similar size. The wrench, iron bars, and chisels found in the house and grounds were proved to have been taken from a wheelwright's shop in the Burley-road, facing Finch's-lane, which appeared to have been entered on the night in question by some one, who had removed the fastening upon the out side. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—NEWCASLE, Feb. 28 CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) George Vass, 19, was charged with the wilful murder of Mary Dochartv, on the Ist January last. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Bruce ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Blackwell de fended the prisoner. Immediately, a new Edition, in 1 vol., 108. 6d., MY GOOD FOR NOTHING BROTHER. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution, and from the evidence of the witnesses called, that the deceased was the wife of John Docherty, a tailor, Newcastle. She was 50 years of age, and on the night of the 31st December last her husband having given her 3s. she was spending it in drink, when her hus band had some words with her about,it, and tried to prevent her entering a publichouse to get more. He left her and went home. Afterwards a man named Henry Branscombe and three boys named William Gillespie, John Bushaw, and John Nesbitt saw the prisoner bringing the woman out of a pas sage called Stebley's-passage. He had hold of the woman by the hair of her head and by the arm, and took her to a street called the West-walls, where she was heard to cry "murder." The prisoner shouted, " Lie down, you -." She cried out, " Oh, dear !" and lay down on his pushing her down. At that time she had on a bonnet with red ribands. He kicked her while she was down, and Branscombe called out to him, what are you strik ing the woman for ? and the prisonar answered, " I'll strike you, you -;" this witness then went away. The boys remained, and saw the prisoner, after kicking the deceased while she was down, pull up her clothes and ravish her. She kicked about with her legs, and the prisoner struck her over the face, and the witness Gillespie called out to him, " Vass, give' over ; you are killing the woman." The prisoner replied with some coarse language. He knew the prisoner before. The woman at the time was very drunk. The prisoner then got up from her, and the witness saw him begin to take the clothes off the lower part of her body and strike her several times on the face. The prisoner appeared then to have left the deceased, and about 2 o'clock on the morning of the Ist of January he appeared to have gone home, where a young man named George Story, another named Spencer, and another named Connor were. He complained that he had been fighting, and that his hands were bloody. On these men leaving his home ho followed them, and linking his arm in theirs, said, " Come along the back walls and I'll take you to a woman. They went to the back walls and saw a woman lying dead, covered with a shawl. Story took the shawl off her, and saw that her face was covered with blood ; as she did not move he said to the others, " She is dead." Her hand was cold. The prisoner went and leant against a wall and did not speak. They then sought for a policeman, and told the pri soner he had better wash his hands if he had been fighting. The prisoner then went away. William Tate, a police-constable, having been found, went to the body, and found it lying dead twenty yards from Elliott's-corner, on the back, in the carriage-way. The clothes were all torn off. Her legs and breast were bare and dirty, and she had nothing on her head. Her face was covered with blood, and he noticed blood on the ground. Her hair was matted with blood and dirt, the ground was all paddled about, and there was a quantity of blood, as if a struggle had taken place. A shoe, a torn apron, and a piece of a woman's dress were found near where the body was. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and accounted for finding the woman by saying he was going that way and fell over her. He could not account for his bloody hands. A post mortem examination of the body of the deceased showed that her hair was matted with blood and cinder-dirt, her face completely disfigured and her nose flattened, and the body generally be grimed with dirt. There was a contused wound over the right hip bone. On examining the head there was a suffusion of blood under the scalp, and part of the scalp at the back of the head was de tached. The brain was much congested and there was fluid in the ventricles. The liver was ruptured by violence. A succession of kicks might have done it. There was black blood also suffused over the intestines. The vagina had about a teaspoonful of cinder-dirt in it. The bones of the face were smashed in. The clothes of the prisoner had been examined and there were stains of blood upon them. rav T is h h e e d d e a fe n n d ce le r f a t i t s h e e d r w e as an th d at th th a e t wthoemianniuhraieds shebeen nut eustat. a had probably e0....d by a car riage-wheel going over her, and that her death was consistent with there having been no murder at all. His lordship having summed up the evidence, The jury retired, and after au absence of 20 minutes returned with a verdict of guilty. His lordship, having put on the black cap, pro ceeded in a very impressive manner to pass the awful sentence of death on the prisoner in the usual form, holding out to him not the slightest hope of mercy. This case and a charge of rape against a man named Patrick Manion, aged 21, who, between 5 and 6 on New Year's-morning committed a rape on a respectable married woman, who had gone from her mother's house in Brixton-street, Newcastle, to seek her husband, and who was ravished in a most brutal manner in the streets of Newcastle, occupied the day. The prisoner Manion was found guilty, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for the term of his natural life.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Oaramt, Feb. 27- Mr. Justice Willes opened the commission here yesterday, and took his seat in the Crown Court at 10 o'clock this morning. John Taylor and John Grant were indicted for setting fire to a stack at Rhyall, the property of William Wright. Mr. Palmer appeared for the prosecution. The prisoners, who had been seen about the vil lage begging before the fire brought out, admitted that they had set fire to the stack, and the only question was whether they had done so wilfully or accidentally. The stack was discovered to be on fire about 1 o'clock of a fine day in August last, and the prisoners w ei. sec. .unning away from it. The prosecutor went after them, and asked them to return with him,which after a short he3itation they did. They were then given into the custody of a gamekeeper, and on being asked by him why they had done it, said they had done it for want, and re peated this statement several times. Some soap, a few rags, a book, and Lucifer match were found on them. The prisoners, on being called upon for their de fence, said that, being in a miserable condition, in total want of food, and without decent clothing, in entire ignorance of the person to whom the stack belonged, they had rashly set fire to it in the hope of relieving themselves from their destitute condi tion, and not from malice. The learned Judge, after pointing out to the jury that such a defence was inadmissible in law, and if held valid would enable any foreigner landing on these shores in ignorance of the language to com mit any number of acts of arson with impunity, summed up the evidence, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoners were then sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Alice Clement, a girl 19 years of age, pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged her with con cealment of the birth of her illegitimate child, and was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hard labour. Thomas Smith was indicted for a burglary at Oakham Vicarage on the 24th of October last. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien and Mr, l'alaler conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr, Yeatman. William ( D B e e f a o n r s e , M a g r e . d Justice n K a eating.) charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Hamilton, at Berwick upon-Tweed, on the let of November last. Mr. R. Fowler and Mr. Greenhow appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Campbell Foster (at the request of the learned Judge) defended the prisoner. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution, and from the evi dence of the various witnesses called, that the de ceased man, Thomas Hamilton, was a farm labourer with a farmer named Grey, near Berwick, and about 50 years of age. He left Mr. Grey's at Martinmas, and on the let of November went to Berwick, and there met with the prisoner. At that time he had a silver watch and about 10s. in money upon him. About 4 o'clock in the atternoon he was met by a person named Dixon, who knew both him and the prisoner, walking down Hyde-hill, Berwick, towards the Nag's Head. At that time he was drunk, and the prisoner was leading him by the arm. They went into the Nag's Head, and each had a glass of whisky, and were then seen going towards the walls of the ramparts, on which there is a walk, by a man named Young—the deceased very drunk, and Young ad vised the prisoner to put deceased with his back against the wall. The prisoner said they had not far to go, and pulled the deceased along. About 7 o'clock Mrs. Ellen Davidson, who lives near the Cowpont-gate in the walls of the town, and who has a warehouse in the gateway, crossed the road to her warehouse. It was then moonlight. She heard a voice as of trampling and struggling, and a cry of distress, and looking towards whence it came saw a man in the act of falling near her door, and a little man, who resembled the prisoner, running in the di rection of the town. A woman named Conolly was at that time coming down that street, a few minutes' walk from Mrs. Davidson's house, when she was run against by the prisoner, whom she knew, and whom she asked if he had been fighting, or if any one was in pursuit of him. He told her the bailiffs were after him, and she was to " keep dark," and said he would give her a glass. He pulled out of his pocket a silver watch and some silver, and looked among it and said he had not a sixpence or a shilling—they were all 2s. pieces. The police on being sent for by Mrs. Davidson found the deceased lying near the doorstep, drunk, an d his le g s apparently paralyHis trousers were foun d buttoned awry, two sed. six pences in his pocket , and some co pp er. He was carried to the police-office and then to the dispen sary,iow vesetrtdeobrrsa: his eyes were blackened, that the lower part of his and there on examination it was found that body and perineum were much discoloured, as if by kicks, and there 'has a contusion on the lowest dor salhis legs were paralysed. From this fact it was con cluded that the spinal cord was injured, and a sub sequent: vertebrae gave the deceased great pain ; post mortem examination showed that the placed, pressing on in his back and pull: the spinal narrow. The evidence of Mr. linker the surgeon, was that this injury was most likely to ' have arisen from a fall, and not from a kick. It might have arisen from putting a knee was forced violently inwards and dis • cus tody, and made a with robbery with violence, statementprisoner was taken into declared to be false, backward on andwas s which he afterwards been robbed of his watch and three se deceased having thethe evidence charged down and kicked him on the loi ns an k or four florins, and charging the prisoner with h av i ng d n o b c a k e e k d a him nd lower part of hie person, and robbed him. The dying de ceased got so seriously ill that his declara tion, embodying the facts previously deposed to by the deceased, was taken, and on the 25th of De cember last he died from the injuries he had re ceived to the spine. Before his death the prisoner made a statement to the gaoler, which was taken down in writing, in which he confessed that he had robbed the deceased of his watch and After a long and patient investigation the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. These three cases comprised the whole of the basiness at these assizes. There was one civil cause, and the defendant came with his witnesses pre pared to try it, but the plaintiff's courage seems to have failed him at the last moment, and the cause was not entered. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey left his late official residence in Portsmouth Dockyard at 7 30 on Friday morning. The whole of the resident offi cers and others, with the various workmen em ployed in the yard, assembled, and formed a con tinuous line from his residence to the east sate. The officers and men of the metropolitan police off duty, with their superintendent, Mr. Guy, formed up opposite the police residence at Factory-gate. The convict warders and civil guard also assembled in front of the convict prison, and all joined in giving the Admiral a hearty cheer as he passed through the yard. The folio ‘, been previously received by the gallant Admiral : " Portsmouth Dockyard, Feb. 27, 1863. This case excited great interest in the county, the Rev. Mr. Finch, the vicar of Oakham, being well known as the possessor of many rare and valuable medals, coins, and other curiosities, a great number of which were carried off on the occasion in ques tion. The Rev. H. Finch li ves in a house which stands just outside the town of Oakham, one en trance to which lies through a short lane, called Finch's-lane, leading out of a street called the Burley-road. The ground floor of the house consists of a double hall, a dining-room, drawing-room, and library en suite, and a room in which the man ser vant usually sleeps, whose custom it was to bolt himself in, leaving the key of the door in the lock on the outside. On the morning after the burglary, Oct. 25, the housemaid on coming downstairs found the dining room in confusion, and on calling the man servant, discovered that he was locked up in the room in which he slept. She let him out, and together they examined the dining and drawing rooms and library, and found indisputable signs that these rooms had been ransacked by some one in the course of the night. On examining the house it was discovered that it had been entered by the library window, the shutter of which had been forced, an d on searching the garden there were found a few yards from that window an iron bar, a wrench, and an empty bottle. stamped with the words—" Compton, Uppingham," and which appeared from the smell to have contained rum. It was also observed that thero was a mark on a gate at the bottom of Finch's lane, leading to the house, which had been re cently painted, as if some one had rubbed his sleeve against it. Some cotton and lucifer matches were discovered in a field a little distance from the house, and some footmarks, two of which were distinct, were found in the neighbourhood of the library window. There were two little dogs in the house on the night in question, one of which slept near the room in which the man -servant was locked up ; but no one heard either of them give any alarm. In the house were found some chisels, which appeared to have been used to force open the boxes and caskets containing the property which was carried off. Among the articles were a bead work-bag, an elk's•hoof scent bottle, a miniature case, some agate cups and spoons, a silver label, and a mother-of pearl shuttle. There was also taken a gold snuff box covered with enamel, which had been presented to Lord Hampden 30 or 40 years ago, when am bassador at Turin, and which Mi. Finch had been in the habit of using, but which he had laid by for some time because the enamel had begun to chip off. This snuff-box, with the remainder of the articles taken, has never been recovered. On examining into the prisoner's movements previously to and after the night in question, it was proved that the prisoner came to a lodging-house at Oakham, ac companied by his sister and a child, on th e 16th of October; that he gave his name as Timothy Jen kins, a shoemaker, and remained there two days. The night before the burglary he was at a lodging house at Stamford with the woman and child, and left on the following morning, the 24th, about 10 o'clock. The woman returned to the house with the child on the evening of the next day ; but the man never came back. On the evening of the 24th, " To REAR-ADMIRAL THE HON. GEORGE GREY. " Hon. Sir.—On retiring from your command as supe rintendent of this yard, eve, the workmen, take this oppor tunity of expressing our deep appreciation of the kindness we have at all times receivedat your hands. We feel assured that you have on all occasions studied our comfort and con venience, with a strict regard to the benefit of the service. " The great advantages conferred upon us and the service by the erection of the new and commodious'dining-hall' are such as to elicit our warmest expression of gratitude. " In conclusion, we regret that the time of separation has arrived, but it is our sincere wish and desire that you may be long spared to:fill similar :important situations of public trust. " Signed on behalf of the workmen of all branches in the yard." Rear-Admiral Sir Robt. Smart's squadron sailed from Spithead at 5 30 on Friday evening for the Downs to await the arrival of her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra at the Nore. The fleet con sists of the flagship Revenge, 73, Captain C. Fel lowes ; the Warrior, 40, iron-plated frigate, Capt. Hon. A. Cochrane; the Black Prince, 40, iron plated frigate, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright ; the Defence, 18, Capt. A. Phillimore ; and the Resis tance, 16, Capt. W. C. Chamberlain. The fleet left Spithead by the East Channel under steam only, the Revenge leading. They will return to Spithead by the 9th. The Emerald, 34, screw,Capt. A. Cumming, sailed from Spithead yesterday to join the squadron. It is stated that the squadron, after escorting the Princess to England, will return to Spithead, and on the day of the Royal marriage be dressed out in coloured bunting, and at 1 p.m. fire, in company with the ships in the harbour and batteries on shore, a Royal salute. At 8 p.m. yards will be manned, blue lights burnt at each yard arm, and another Royal salute fired bythe whole squadron. The Spiteful, 4, paddle, Commander C. F. W. Wilson, arrived at Spithead from Bermuda with naval stores and a few invalids and sailed again yes terday for Woolwich. She sailed from Bermuda on the 6th February. The Meg era, 6, steam troopship, Commander S. H. Henderson, arrived at Spithead at 6 30 on Fri day evening from Guernsey, with the remainder of the 2d battalion 18th Foot and a battery of the Royal Artillery and women for Parkhurst and the Royal Artillery for Woolwich. The iron plated ship Royal Oak, 34, 800 horse power, in dry dock at Chatham, is filling up with her sea and other stores as fast as they can be put on board. Sails were bent yesterday, and from the energy which is being displayed by the swarm of mechanics, shipwrights, joiners, and labourers who crowded her decks there is no doubt that she will be ready for undocking by the middle of this month— the period anncucced in the House of Commons by the Secretary of the Admiralty. It would, however, be useless to conceal the fact that several weeks, if not months, must yet elapse before the Royal Oak can be anything like readp to be despatched on her experimental cruise, as there is yet a vast amount of work remaining to be executed on board before she is in her sea trim. Under the eye of an experi enced:and energetic officer there is little doubt that much greater progress would be made in the work of fitting and completing the Royal Oak than is possible under the existing Capt. F. A. Campbell, who has been appointed dockyard regulations.to the command of the first of our iron cased aquad ron, bears a deservedly high character in the service, and is just the offic er to superintend a vessel intendev aser theythinre lating to the fitti n g out of such Royal Oak. Unfortunately, however, although virtually appointed to that frigate some 10 days or a fortnight since, he has not yet taken the command, and it still • seems uncertain when the Royal Oak will be com missioned. The principal work remaining to be completed on the upper or fighting deck is the con struction of the shot-proof turret, or reconnoitring tower, to be used by the officer in charge of the vessel when the ship is in action. The position of the turret is about mid-distance between the iron main and mizen masts, and is entered by means of I fA fr c c i rr . 14 , . . 41111 11i N II) nit+ -'I) L4IN' .'• I MF , 4 4 11. ' 0?

The form of the turret is elliptical, and it is intended to construct it of sufficient strength to resist the effect of any shot. The inner skin of the turret, or " conning" tower, is composed of sheet iron 9-16ths of an inch in thick ness, and firmly rivetted together. On these is laid the teak planking, 9in. in thickness, the whole of the exterior being cased with 41in. armour plates of the same thickness as those used in encasing the outside of the frigate. Ti►e first of the plates for the tower was got on board on Friday, having been bent, planed, drilled, and polished in the factory. The plate operated upon was one of the ordinary 41-in. 4 ton armour plates in store at Chatham Dock yard, and considerable interest was attached to the process of bending it to the required shape, from the circumstance of the whole question relating to the present system of bending and preparing the armour-plates for ships of war being just now under the consideration of the Iron Plate Committee. The plated used was one of the rolled kind, from the establishment of Messrs. Beale and C0.,0f the Park gate Ironworks, Derbyshire. The shape to which the slab was bent was that of the large arc of an ellipsis. This was accomplished by means of a new description of plate-bending machine fitted at Chat ham, the invention of Mr. Armstrong, who is em ployed on the iron-frigate Achilles,and under whose superintendence the plates for that vessel are being bent. It this instance the plate waa heated to a "black" heat, and afterwards placed in the press, when by means of the hydraulic ram the required bend was given it. A minute examination of the plate on its being removed from the machine failed to detect any rupture of the fibres of the iron, and, to all appearance, the plate was in every respect as sound as before it was operated upon. The slab was afterwards planed, drilled and smoothed, and to-day it will be bolted to the exterior of the turret. Lord Lovelace (the Lord LieutenVA of. lck Surrey),co G , o o r s e g n e - : with the High Sheriff and the fou'r 31It Parl A tary representatives of the county (. Mr. Locke King, Mr. Briscoe , a n d Cubitt), and by the Lord Mayor and the &hex. of London and Middlesex, the whole p a g eant up to that point being composed probably of not mot e than a dozen carriages. At the south end of Lon don-bridge, where the civic jurisdiction begins, the cavalcade will receive an enormous accession and. in its passage thence to Temple-bar, the western confines of the city, it will perhaps be more inter esting as a spectacle than in any other part of route. On London -briage the Royal Reception.: Committee and the rest of the Corporation, w the Court of Lieutenancy and the governing bodies, of the principal livery companies, numbering up• wards of 300 persons in all, will be waiting to con duct the Princess through the city, and the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs taking the places assigned them there, the cortege will then proceed on its way. The civic dignitaries will wear their robes ill ahpapeadger s office,of office, and the Court of Lieutenancy il in uniform. The Masters and 'Wardens of the livery companies in open carriages, each drawn by four horses, with postillions wearing the colours of the respective bodies, will lead the way ; the banners of each of the companies being borne before their different representatives. The deputation from the Lieutenancy will follow in open equipages; then the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ; the Lord Mayor in his private state carriage, drawn by six horses; and then the members of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Councilmen in carriages. In something like this order the Prince and Prin cess, with the rest of the Royal party, will be escorted to Temple-bar, by way of King William street, the Mansion-house, and Cheapside, thence round the south side of St, Paul's Cathedral, and onward by Ludgate-hill and Fleet-street. The details of the pageant, so far as the Corporation of London is concerned, are not yet settled, but the principal features in it have been indicated. At Temple-bar the civic authorities will resign the post of honour to the Duke of Buccleueh, as Lord High Steward of the city of Westminster, who with the Dean and Chapter, the High Bailiff, the members of the Ancient Court of Burgesses, and other representative bodies of the citizens, will con duct their Royal Highnesses to the entrance to Hyde Park, by way of Pall-mall, St. James's-street, and Piccadilly, the Corporation of London, headed by the Lord Mayor, with the Court lof Lieutenancy, bringing up the rear. In the city the Volunteer force will form a con spicuous feature in the ceremony. The old Artillery Company will be drawn up in front of Adelaide place and Fishmongers'-hail, at the north end of London-bridge, with a battery facing the bridge from King William's statue. In the open space in front of the Mansion-house, the whole of the Lon don Rifle Brigade are to be massed, stretching across from the Bank of England to the corner of Lombard-street. Another of the city corps will be grouped between St. Martin's-le-Grand and the Peel monument, at the top of Cheapside ; and a third will occupy the vacant ground at the junction of Cannon-street with St, Paul's-church yard. In all cases the Volunteer corps will be pro tected by barriers from the pressure of the crowd from behind. It is probable that some of the Surrey Volunteers will be placed at salient points of the route in Southwark, and that the Westminster corps may do similar duty in Trafalgar-square. It is understood that none but the Royal car riages will enter the long quadrangle in which the Volunteers will be drawn up in the park. The corps, which are ordered to be on the ground not later than two o'clock, will be formed in two double lines, facing inwards, each line four deep and 40 paces apart, to allow room for the staff of the brigade and divisional generals in front. These double lines will extend across the open ground from the back of the Achilles statue to the Marble Arch. Up to Saturday evening the numerous corps had received the sanction of the 'War-office to take part in the demonstration, but of course a very considerable number of additional applications will be received in the course of to-day, so that the total number on the ground on Saturday will probably exceed 16,000. The Royal carriages will simply pass along be tween the lines, receiving a Royal salute, and, issu ing forth at the Marble Arch, will be followed by the rest of the cavalcade towards Paddington. Not much has yet been undertaken by the Great Western authorities a t th e Paddington station, but with the immense staff at their disposal two or three days would be ample to effect all that is re quired even for an occasion like the present. At Slough, and along the road to Windsor, the prepara tions are all well advanced, while in 'Windsor itself it is intended to illuminate both on the night of the arrival and the wedding. The following appointments were made on Thurs day at the Admiralty :—John A. P. Williams, as sist.-paymaster, supernumerary to the Victory; Ronald Taylor, in the Marlborough, confirmed as engineer ; W. Roberts, first-class assist. engineer to the Indus, for the Forth ; and Robert Hall, second class assist engineer, to the Defence.

FREE NEGROES IN NORTH AMERICA- The city of Philadelphia contains the largest of free negro populations, and the statistical literature of pro-slavery abounds with allusions to the ignor ance, beggary, and vice of its coloured classes. In 1848 some street rioting occurred in a quarter of the city called Moyamensing, between the lower grade of whites and the depraved blacks. The latter were beaten, their houses burned, and their leaders slain. This is the only event in the history of the municipality which has called for the interposition of the law in favour of the negroes, and the whole affray resulted less from their lawlessness than the envy of the white rabble, who feared their aug menting numbers and influence. Two cases of turbulence, on the remanding of coloured citizens, under the Fugitive Slave Law, have since been chronicled, and it is an evidence of the prosperity of the coloured element that they subscribed three thousand dollars to " bail" and defend their breth ren, arrested while attempting rescues. In 186'2, the Press newspaper, Philadelphia, published some observations made by its city editor upon the negro population. Twenty thousand of the seventy thousand blacks resident in Pennsylvania were located in the city, and these owned property to the amount of four millions of dollars; three churches and schools were valued at four hundred thousand dollars ; they had twenty beneficial associ ations and four literary societies, while physicians of their own race engrossed the larger share of medical practice among them. The transcript of these statistics admitted also that the negroes of Philadelphiathose o of w other N e r o e ~ t hleersns favourabl y cities. T hesyithuaadtedgretahtaenr social disadvantages, because the city had been in great part peopled f ro m the South, and avenues to employmen t were in the main closed against them. Public conveyances were not allowed to carry them the streets, and on the rural railways tthhgheryouwere partitioned off to a foul apartment of the smoking car; at theatres, concerts, lectures, and churches, they were restricted to remote galleries. If a master mechanic employed them his white employes threw up their tools and refused to work. The trade unions forbade capitalists to receive them upon indenture; the professions would admit them even to the oute r courts.
