NAVA - 1 , AND Mll.lI'AliY INTELLIGEY CE. The Royal Albert, 121, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, has nearly completed taking in her guns ; the lower deck ones are now only wanting. The decks are being planed, and her internal fittings finished. The Victory, 104, Captain J. C. D. Hay, flag of Vice- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., hoisted mast head garlands of flowers on Saturday, and was dressed in honour of the 49th anniversary of the Battle of Tra falgar, The screw steam-ship Exmouth, 91, having been cop pered, was taken out of Devonport dockyard on Friday and placed in the floating basin ; her engines will be tried in a few days. The Ajax, 60, Captain Warden, and the Brisk, 14, Captain Seymour, went into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday to refit. The frigate Thetis, 38, was placed in the stern dock in Devonport dockyard on Saturday, to have her copper examined. She is to be got ready with all despatch, so as to enter the Baltic before the ice sets in. The Curacoa, 31, new screw-frigate, Captain the Hon. U. F. Hastings, will leave Portsmouth harbour for Spit head in a day or two. ti The Eurydice, 26, Captain Ommanney, is reported as about to leave Portsmouth for the West India station. The Horatio, 2.2, screw, Commander Jenner, is in the basin at Sheerness. She has been caulked inside and out, and her copicrer examined in the dry dock. This vessel carries ver7 heavy metal, and when finished no doubt will be foY.- general service. The Cossack, 21, screw-corvette, Captain Fanshawe, is at 3-,er moorings over on the west shore at Sheerness. She "is manned and coaled, we hear, and only waiting deg,nitive Admiralty orders. It is, however, generally bfJlieved the Black Sea will be her sstination. The Tartar, 20, screw, has arrived at Chatham from Woolw.ich, to be fitted for sea. It is reported that the crew of the Leopard, 18, pad dle-wheel frigate, will be turned over to the Dauntless to make up the complement of that ship, which has been reduced by a draught to make up the crew of the Co lossu.s. The Harrier, 17, screw, Commander Storey, will ge out of Portsmouth Harbour te-morow, and, after testing her qualities and speed, will anchor at Spithead, take in her powder and shell, and await orders. After the screw corvette Miranda, 15, Captain E. `ilyons, left Plymouth Sound for the Black Sea on Friday evening she lost a man overboard, about four miles S.W. of name Head, during a smart breeze from the N.W. The ship was immediately hove to, and the cutter and jolly boat sent in search ; by the former the man was rescued with a boat hook just as he was sinking. Ho had been some time in the water, and his recovery was doubtful. While hove to, the Miranda's starboard side was driven by the flood tide, against the port bow of the fishing smack Two Brothers, and carried away her bow split and jib. Fearing, from the water she took in, that she would go down, the owner, Jabes Burt, and his boy scrambled up on the port of the Miranda. The smack fell aft, and the flange of the steamer's screw cut her rode in two. Captain Lyons sent Burt in the jolly boat, ender charge of an officer, who, finding the smack still seaworthy, reinstated him, and the ship proceeded. Port Admiral Sir William Parker is attending to the repairs of the Two Brothers. Two of the Miranda's men are under hospital treatment ; one had both. hands blown off while loading a gun to salute the Impregnable on Thursday ; the other lost a thumb in stopping the vent of a gun on the same occasion. The brig Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander Dol ling, went into winter quarters in Hamoaze on Friday. Tile Swallow, 8, screw sloop, Commander Craufurd, left Spithead on Saturday for Gibraltar. The Morayshire, hired transport, having a full cargo of victualling stores for the Black Sea fleet, sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday. A sailing transport arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the westward. A French steam sloop put in at Spithead yesterday afternoon from stress of weather. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Alfred J. Curtis (1852), recently serving in charge of mails in a contract steam vessel, has been appointed to command the Brisk, 14, screw steam-sloop, at Portsmouth, vice Commander Frederick B. P. Sey mour, promoted to the rank of captain ; and Lieutenant George M. F. Molesworth (1848) to the Victory, flag ship at Portsmouth. THE CAPTAINS' MUTINY IF THE BALTIC FLEET. It is rumoured that a captain of noble birth, com manding one of the Baltic screw liar-of battle ships, is likely to appear before a court-Lusatia!, when some curious disclosures may take place touching the pro ceedings of the Baltic fleet. CHAPLAINS FOR THE EAST. The Rev. B. Owen and the Rev. J. Shepherd are ap pointed chaplains to the array serving in thp East, and have been ordered te proceed without delay to their destination. NAVAL MEDICAL OFFICERS FOR THE BLACK SEA.. The following medical officers have been appointed to the flag-ship Britannia, for service in the Black Sea fleet : _ _ Surgeons.-- 7 -Alfred B. Cutfield (1840), James Jenkinp N.D. (1854), Daniel T. Duigan (1854), and William B. Dalby (1854), to the Britannia, 120. Assistant•Surgeons.—Mark Hamilton, B.A. (1842), Henry Arnot, M.D: (1346), W. Evans, and B. S. Ward, to the Britannia. ARRIVALS FROM THE BALTIC. The Imperial French steam-sloop Cecyte, 4, Captain Du Buisson, arrived at Spithead, on Saturday, from the Baltic, bound to Cherbourg. She put in there through stress of weather. On anchoring she was visited by a boat from her Majesty's ship Powerful, 84, at Spithead, and a lieutenant et that ship attended Captain Du Buis son ashore, introducing him to the Commander-in-Chief, the Consul, and accompanying him over the town. The Cocyte continued her voyage to Cherbourg in the even ng O . n the arrival of the St. George, from the Baltic, at Plymouth, that portion of her crew which previously retarned in the Portland from three years' service in the Pacific will be paid down, and have leave of ab sence for six weeks. THE SCREW GUARD SHIPS. The following armament Las been ordered for the ships—old 72's and 74's—such •s Cornwallis, Hawke, &c., now in course of conversion into floating port bat teries or guard-ships : N.. Length. Lower deck ... 24...32-pounders...sB cwt. ... 9 ft. ti in. ... 4... 8-inch _65 cwt. ... Main deck ... 26...32-pounders...so cwt. ... 9 ft. 'Upper deck ... 2...68-pouaders...9s cwt. ...10 ft. ... 4...10-inch ...85 cwt. ... 9 ft. 4 in, Total .., 60 guns. These ships it will he seen are of the same class as the sea-going converted screw-ships Blenheim, Ajax, Hogue, and Edinburgh ; but half-a-dozen of them fitted and armed in the manner proposed will not costas muck as the Blen heim, while at the same tnne they will be quite efficient. The conversion of the Blenheim cost almost as much as a new line-of-battle-ship, but the Edinburgh cost compara tively little, as no attempt was sand• to renew her, but simply to convert her with as little alteration as possible reasonably, se that their conversion into effective de fence-ships will be accomplished at a very small expense. The success that has attended the conversion of the Royal George and some of the new sailing line-of-battle ships into good serviceable screws hes been most remark able. The experience has been dearly bought, as it has cost much to overcome the prejudice that prevented the conversion of those old 72's to some better purpose than rotting in our harbou rs . Th e Bl en h e i m an d ot h ers h ave engines of 450-horse power ; but the Hawke and Corn wallis batch are to have high-pressure engines of 160- horse power ; and the accession of strength to oar fleet by these powerful additions is incalculable. They have given us a force superior to the world. This enables us on ce more to take the lead, anti which, we h ave lit t l e doubt, now we shall keep. The two first of the screw guard-ships that are likely be soon complete are tee Cornwallis at Devonport, and the Hawke at Chatham. The Russell, another of the 74's, is in the graving dock at Sheerness, having her poop taken off, and a large space cut away in the after part for converting her int o a screw. Some trifling deca y has been discovered in the dead wood ; n ot sufficient, however, to prove her the worse fur wear. This vessel, like the Hawke, 74, at Chatham, is to draw a foot le ss water when colrlplete. g . The prevailin opinion is that these ships will have a seasoning in tht;'Baltio before they are appropriated to certain ports. THE ADMIRALTY. The whole of tho Board of Admiralty s will be at their posts thi s week. Rear-Admiral Berke l ey, C. 14., h a been ce • ntienously within hail, and Rear-Admiral Dun dn.s and Captain Richards have continued in town. The Hon. W. Cowper, has returned from the Continent, and Captain Milne, whose health had suffered from his se vere applicatio n to the war preparatione and supplies, and compelled t o a temporary a‘o - sence,'returns to White hall this week. If the appointment of Admiral of the Fleet should be filled up, Vice-Admiral Sykes will become Admiral of the Blue, Bear. Admiral Fitzwilliatn Owen will heconse Vice-Admiral of the Blue, and the three senior captains on the list, not having served their full time in command as captains—namely, Captain 0. V. Harcourt, the Earl Talbot, C. 8., and Sir Willi am S ymonds, C. 8., they will go, on the reserved half. pay list ; and Captain James Scott, C.F. ( 183 ), 8 will become R ear -A dmiral of the Blue. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following promotions have been made for arctic service : Commanders—George Henry Rieharda (1345), of the Assistance discovery ship, and Francis L. M'Clintock (1851), of the Resolute discovery ship, to be captains. Lieutenants—James E. Elliott (1345), of the Phcenix screw steam discovery sloop ; Walter W. May (1851), of Assistance, discovery sisip ; Goorge F. Sifeechain (1849), first Lieutenant of the [Resolute ; George A Phayre (1843), first Lieutenant of the Enterprise disco very ship ; and Samuel Gurney Cresswell, the first officer who accomplished the North-west passage, and brought home the intelligence of the safety of Captain 7.ll‘Clure and the officers and crew of the Investigator, and who is now serving in the Archer, 14, screw steam- Coop, in the Baltic, to be commanders. Mates --Francis B. Herbert (1851) of the Assistance discovery ship ; George S. Nares (1851), of the Resolute THE RUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN'INCI. OCTOBER_ 121), 1664 called to its artistical beauties, I think they will be in admiration of the design and execution. The likeness of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, Duke of Bronte, &c., I have been told is admirable, and that there has been no sculp ture, bas relief, or work upon canvass that has in any way come up to its beauties. The reverse side of the portrait of Nelson represents the fleet just as the enemy has opened fire, which I will proceed to deseribe, after calling your attention to the heading, " England expects every man to do his duty." It is well recorded that the commander-in-chief assigned 15 sail of-the-line of his fleet to his second in command, his old companion in arms, Vice-Admiral Collingwood, to attack the rear of the enemy, and here you will see his flag ship, the Royal Sovereign, having just cut through the line. The weather line, Nelson's own division of 12 line of-battle ships and the frigates, &c., is the perspective, and has not yet closed with the enemy, and I presume it to be about the period when Collingwood is recorded to have said to his flag-captain (Rotherham), " What would Nelson give to be here I" and when Nelson was saying, on .the Victory's quarter-deck, " See how that noble fellow Col. (Collingwood) has commenced the ac tion !" Lord Nelsen received his mortal wound within an hour and a half from the time of having so expressed himself, but it is known that he did not breathe his last till after Captain Hardy had obeyed his call to come to hint, and had said that none of our ships had struck their colours, but 14 of the enemy had. It is even said that he lived to hear that 19 had surrendered, and the rest were bearing away, when he exclaimed, "Thank God, we have dose our duty to our country. I had counted on 23, but I can now die happy ;" and, with the excep tion of his faintly answering his flag-lieutenant, who lay wounded in the cockpit near him, that the last cheer was for another of the enemy's ships having struck, these were the last words of the immortal Nelsen in the hour of victory. Of the 19 sail•of-the-line captured out of 33, four only were got into Gibraltar, the rest having been burnt by the victors, or sunk, owing to the gale of wind and continued bad weather which ensued after the action. Five of the ships that hauled their wind out of the action, however, towards its close, were met a few days after, and were captured by four Pail-of the line and three frigates. They were at first taken for the Rechfort squadron, which was blockaded, and with one ship burnt, L'Achille, here was an account of 24, leav ing nine only, which, after making their appearance next day returned into Cadiz. Rear-Admiral Sir George Westphal is unavoidably prevented from being present here, but he writes me to say he regrets he can not meet the descendant of his reverend patron, and I am sure he speaks sincerely, as Lord Nelsen was his kindest friend, and I may add that he is the midshipman represented in West's picture being taken below wounded when Nelson fell. This box was given not many years ago, as being made out of Nelson's flag-ship the Victory, with a piece of her copper. The other box has been made out of a piece of my own ship, the Achille (Capt. Sir Richard King), piocured by Capt. Richard Douglas, who was a midshipman also in the Achille when that ship (still effective) was last under thorough repair ; and there is another of the old Achille's midshipmen present (three from one ship, with myself), Commander Lardner Denny., whom I met here for the first time last year after 48 years of separation. In the fall of that ♦ery year Napoleon won the splendid victory of Austerlitz, commonly called the Battle of the Emperors. By that and succeeding victories, Austria, Russia, all Germany, and Prussia were at his feet, with Spain for his ally, and Naples with all the Italian States occupied by his troops, and out of these magnificent conquests sprung up the great northern confederation against this country ; so that had not the glorious victory of Trafalgar procured to us the mastery of the seas—net that I think a suc cessful descent could have Leen made on this land, yet ' with all the navies of the seas combine], and the loss of the battle, the mastery of the seas would have pro bably have followed, our commerce have been annihi lated, and the sinews of war without our reach, and they we should have been as muck the footstool of France as any of the other great resisting, but unsuc cessful, Powers of the Continent. With the exception of our attack on Copenhagen, the Cape of Good Hope, successes in the east and west at sea, Sir John Duck worth's destruction of the French squadron in the West Indies, in which action one of our gallant members, Sir Samuel Pyre, commanded a ship of the line ; Sir Win. Hoste's gallant frigate action in the Adriatic, and some splendid single actions, with Sir Samuel Hood's capture of the French frigates, no great victory at sea has since taken place, unless we count the bombardment of Al giers, Acre, and the destruction of the Turkish fleet at Navarino. No fleet battle or victory has been fought or won, and Nelson sealed with his blood the book of great naval battles upon the glorious 21st of October, of which we must pronounce this the jubilee, and I now beg all present to stand up, whilst we drink to the me mory of Vice-Admiral Viscount Nelson, a former mem ber of the club, in solemn silence, and to the memory of those who fell with him on the glorious ooeasion. After the ordinary toasts as they stood on the list for the President's guidance had been given, he said : We now drink to the health of Lord Hardinge and the army, Lord Raglan, his troops, and the brave allies with whom he is associated in arms for the security of Europe against despotism ; and may the proud victory of Alma—gained by them and the brave army of France, with our brave friends the Turks, who have shown such noble examples of resistance, and our own national troops—be followed up by a succession of similar victories, for the security of Europe and the establishment of lasting peace. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm and cheers. Vice-Admiral Sir WILLIAM DILLON proposed "The Health of their noble Guest, Earl Nelson," in a neat and complimentary speech. Earl Nelson, in reply, said it was a proud source of delight to him, and ever to be held in memory, that he had been in►i`ed to meet en such an occasion the brother officers and admirers of the great man whose hunours he now represented, and in so noble an institution, of which Admiral Viscount Nelsen was a member. - Captain RICHARDSON, who was not in. the action, pro posed "The Health of the Survivors of the glorious Victory of Trafalgar ;" and Captain Swsnwr, now one of the captains of Green wich Hospital, who was an acting lieutenant in the action, as senior officer of those present, responded to it. The meeting soon after separated. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR T. B. MARTIN, ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 21.—The senior officer of the Bri tish navy, Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin, G.C.8., died at a quarter past one o'clock this afternoon, at the resieleuce of his son, Rear-Admiral W. F. Martin, au periatendent of this dockyard, at the age of 82. The deceased Admiral was the Admiral of the Fleet, and Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom. He had been staying at his son's official residence for some months, gradually sinking from old age, until at length it be came impossible to remove him to his own residence. In addition to Rear-Admiral W. F. Martin, the other surviving eon of the aged officer, Rear-Admiral Henry Byam Martin, C. 8., was present at the hour of dissolu tion, the latter having arrived home in the Leopard, from the Baltic. Sir Thomas Byam Martin was third son of Sir Henry Byam Martin,Bart., Surveyor of the Navy, and M.P. for Southampton, and was intimately connected by family and marriage with numerous naval, military, and civil servants of the Crown. Hisname was firet places on the books of a man-of-war, the Foudroyant, 80, Captain Jervis, in June, 1782, and he entered the Royal Naval Aca demy in 1735, embarking in March of the following year as captain's servant on board the Pegasus, 28, commanded by H.R.H. Prince William Henry, with whom he continued to serve, and as midshipman in the Andromeda frigate, on the North American and West India stations, till July, 1739. He continued, in ♦arious ships, on Channel service till October the following year, when he was made lieutenant into the Canada, 74, Captains Lord Hugh Seymour and Eras mus Gower. Again serving in this capacity in the Inconstant and Juno, frigates, he was promoted in May, 1793, to the command of the Tisiphone, 13, in which he wes present at the occupation by Lord Hood of Toulon, but which place the English were compelled to evacuate by the genius, then beginning to display itself, of Bonaparte. In six menthe after, being made mainlander, Sir Thomas Martin was posted into the Modeste frigate. Being afterwards appointed to the Artois, he cooperated in the reduction of Ristia. Ile was again removed to the command of the Santa Mar• garitta 40 guns and 237 men, when he made prizes of the French corvette Le Jean Bart, 18, and the priva teers, Le Bonaparte, 16 guns and 137 men, and Le Veageur, 13 gun■ avid 110 men ; and on the Bth of June, 1796, after a close and gallant action of 20 minutes, he effected the capture of Le Tansies, of 40 guns and 306 men, the latter losing 13 killed and 12 wounded, whilst the loss of the English, according to the Gazette, was only two killed and three wounded. In December of the same year he took the Tamar, 38, to the Weet In dies, and was present in April the following year in the unsuccessful attack on Puerto Rico. He was, however, well compensated for this disappointment, for, during the next five months, he captured no less than nine French privateers, carrying altogether 58 guns and 510 men ; thus conferring material benefits on the merchant shipping. He 'text bad command of the Dictator, 64, and the Fisgard, 46, and 231 men in the Channel, and in the latter, on the 20th of October, 1793, being off Brest, he succeeded in capturing the French ship Immortalite, of 42 guns, and 530 men, a portion of whom, however, were troops. The French, after an obstinate conflict, surrendered, with a loss of 54 killed, and 61 wounded ; the loss of the Fisgard being 10 killed, and 26 wounded. The fact of Captain Martin's crew, in both of the above instaaces, being young and inexperienced, is referred to by his biographer, O'Byrno, as adding to that officer's merit in possessing himself of the enemy's ♦essels His next exploit was on the night of the 23d of June, 1800, when he had personal command of the boats of a squadron entering the Quiniper River, effecting on its banks the destruction of three batteries, mounting seven 24-pannd . ere, together with thier magazines. Whilst in the Fis gard, he further took the following prizes :—La Venus, 82 guns, 200 men ; La Dagen, 14 guns ; La Gironde, privateer, of 16 guns and 141 men ; L'Alerte, privateer, of 14 guns and 84 men ; El Vivo, national vessel, of 14 guns and 100 men ; and three others, mounting 18 guns. Capta.i❑ Martin's succeeding appointments were to the Impeteux, 84, in March, 1803, in which ship he served in the Channel till December, 1805, and in 1807 to the Prince of Wales, 93, and Implacable, 74, on the home and Baltic stations. On the 26th of Aegust, ISOB, war haying broken out between England and Russia, Captain Martin, in the Implacable, 74, fell in with, and, after a long chase, brought to close action, in a most gallant manner, the Russian 74 gun ship Sewolod, whose fire he silenced in about 20 minutes, being only prevented from capturing her by the approach of the whole Russian fleet. which bore up to her support. The Sewolod soon, how ever, grounded at the entrance of the port of Rogers wick, and in that position was attacked by Rear-Ad• miral Sir Samuel Hood, in the Centaur. This vessel, in her turn, took the ground, but still Sir Samuel com pelled the Ru-:sian to surrender after an obstinate de fence, in which, and in her engagement with the Impla cable, she had 303 men killed, wounded, and missing She was then set on fire and destroyed ; the Centaur having been previously hove off the shore, where she had grounded, by the exertions of Captain Martin, who dis played so much professional ability on the occasion as to call forth the thanks of Sir Samuel Hood. In alluding to the conduct of the Implacable in her action with the Sewolod, Sir Samuel, in his official letter, declared him self, by any words of his, unable to enhance " the merit of her brave, worthy, and excellent commander." The King of Sweden, who was then our ally against Russia, conferred on Capt. Martin, as an acknowledgment of his merit, the insignia of a Knight of the Order of the Sword. To the King of Sweden, however, the destruction of this one Russian line-of-battle ship was but a poor, if any, compensation for the irretrievable disaster that betel the nation in this same year, 1808, by the loss through treachery of the fortress of Sweaborg. The Swedish Admiral, Cronetadt, the commander of the fortress, had a garrison of nearly 8,000 men, superior to that of the assailing force, with an immense supply of ammunition and provisions ; still, from base cowardice, or for ac im mense bribe, he handed this magnificent fortress over to the Russians, in whose dominiuns he, a few years after, died of a broken and mortified spirit, never having at tempted any explanation of the circumstances of a crime which will hand his name down to the execration of all posterity. The loss of the Implacable, is her engage ment with the Sewolod, was 6 killed and 26 wounded. On the 2d of September, 1808, Captain Martin was ap pointed to the Victory, 100, as captain of the fleet, Under Sir James Saumarez, Commander-in-Chief in the Baltic. On the 6th of July in the following year, hi v- ing been again appointed to the Itnplaca6lJ, Captaii Martin, in company with' the Melpomene, frigate, aided in the capture of several gun-boats. and a convoy of nine merchant vessels. near Hango Head, in the Baltic. Having commanded the Royal Sovereign yacht in 1810, Captaiu Martin attained the rank of rear-admiral, Aug. 1, 1811, and in April next year he hoisted his flag as such on board the Aboukir, 74, and returned to the Baltic, but this time to co-operate with the Russians, with whom peace had been made. Arriving in that sea, he took an energetic part in the defence of Riga, and acting in concert with the Russian army under Prince Bag,ration against the French army under General Davoust. In the course of the same year he returned to England, being appointed second in command at Plymouth. With the exception of a short time passed on the coast of Spais and off the Scheldt, he remained at Plymouth till 1815. In 1814, he received the honour of knighthood, and was created a K.C.8., 2d of Janu ary, 1815 ; a vice admiral, 12th of August, 1819 ; G.C.8., 3d of March, 1830 ; a full admiral, 22d of July following ; a rice-admiral of the United Kingdom in 1847 ; and admiral of the fleet, 13th of Oct., 1849. But in addition to the honours, appointments, &c., stated above, the deceased admiral of the fleet was ap pointed, in Jan., 1815, deputy-comptroller of the navy, and in the fallowing year he succeeded T. B. Thompson, as Comptroller of the Navy—the duties of which post be discharged for many years. From 1818 to 1831 he sat in Parliament for Plymouth. At the time of his death he wa■ as slier brother of the Trinity House ; he had bee■ a director of Greenwich Hospital, a Commis sioner of the Board of Longitude, &c. At the funerals of George IV. and William IV. he was an assistant sup porter of the canopy over the royal body. Admiral Martin married Catherine, daughter of Capt. Robert Faushawe, R.N., Resident Commissioner of Ply mouth Dockyard, and sister of the present Rear• Adm iral Arthur Fanebawe, C. 8., now Commander-in-Chiel en the West Indian station. By this alliance ho was connected with the Admirals Bedford, Sir J. C. White, and the Hon. Sir R. Stopford. He had issue—three sons and three daughters. The two elder sons are Rear- Admirals William Faushawe Martin, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard ; and Henry Byain Martin, who has just come home from the Baltic, having had his flog on beard the Leopard, in command of one of the divi sions of that fleet. The you.ng,est son of the deceased admirtl, Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Faushawe Martin, Deputy Adjutant-General of the Queen's Forces at Bom bay, died at Peonah in July, 1846. The body of the deceased admiral is expected to be removed to London in a few days for interment in the family vault. LAUNCH OF TBE EMPRESS AND QUEEN, DOVER ROYAL MAIL PICKETS. On Saturday, two beautiful little steamers, built by Mare and Co. for the Dover, Calais, and Ostend Royal mail service, were launched at Black wall. One was named the Empress, in honour of the consort of Louis Napoleon, and the other the Queen, in honour of our own Sovereign. These little vessels ate of 304 tons inea •surenaent, and of the following principal dimensions : Feet. in. Length betweeu the perpendiculars ... 155 0 Breadth, extreme Depth at bold Their machinery, of 100 nominal horse power each, will be immediately fitted by the eminent firm of Miller, Itavealaill, and Salkeld, of Glasslaense-fields, and in a very short time they will be on their station. They are five feet longer than the celebrated steam-packet Vivid, with two feet less breadth. Their zuarautes , l speed is 113 knots ; but it is confidently hnticipated that they will I run the distance between Calais and Dever regularly 1 within an hour and half, and between Dover and o.,tend 1 within four hours. Captain Luke Sinithett, so well known on the station as the commander of the Princess Alice, Garland, and Vivid, will command the Empress, which vessel, and her sister, the Queen, will be fitted under his superintendence. It is only just to remark that since the commencement of the service by the present contractors, we have had iio missing mails, notwithstanding the tempestuous wea ther that prevailed in April and within the last few weeks, whereas both the Belgian and French steamers have failed on one or two occasions to keep up the rega lar postal communication. A LORD CHANCELLOR IN THE COUNTY COURT. A case, presentin g some singular features, has just been decided in the Kingston Cuunty Court, before J. F. Fraser, Esq_ The plaintiff, Mr. Wyatt, is a poulterer, earrying on business at Thames Ditton, near to Boyle Farm, the seat of the noble defendant, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Chan cellor in the Esrl of Derby's Cabinet. The action was brought to recover 101. for damage sustained by the plaintiff through the seizure, by his lordship's direction, of five ducks and a drake so long back as the 23d of February, 1852, and their detention fir two years, whereby the plaintiff alleged he had lost the use of the ducks, the value of their eggs, and their potential progeny. It appears that the lawn of Boyle Farm abuts on the Thames, and in front thereof, and about the centre of the river, is an ait, the property of Lord St. Leonards. On this lawn and ait divers ducks and geese have trespassed, causing a damage and nuis ance, and to put a stop to the evil his lordship had more than mace bought up the birds at a high price, but the public, finding him a good customer, brought fresh birds, and so the annoyance was continued. Instruc tions were ultimately given to the servants at Boyle Farm to seize and impound all the ducks upon his lord ship's property ; and hence the seizure of the five clucks and a drake belonging to the plaintiff, and their impri sonment until a few days ago. Mr. Chitty, the barrister, on behalf of the noble de fendant, contended that the ducks at the time of seizure being damage feasant on the property of his lordship, he was authorised in la.v to impound them. He had given notice of the impounding immediately he could ascertain the owner, and as the plaintiff throughout had refused to pay for the keep of the birds the defendant was justified in detaining them as long as be did. By the act of last session, 17 and 18 Vic,, cap. 60, his lordship could have sold them to pay fir the keep, but, having that power, he declined to put money in his pocket, and returned them. The learned judge explained to the jury that the de fendant had a right to impound cattle when found on his land, and retain them until amends were made for the damage done ; but the question of distraining ducks had never occurred, and it might have been occasioned by the difficulty in catching them ; but he acknowledged that on principle he could not see why an animal on four legs or on two, whether covered with hair or feathers, found doing damage should net be impounded, and if one, why not the other? As far as authority went, he could find none to serve him on either side, and should refrain from expressing any opinion. The plaintiff's proper way would have been to have paid the damage on the first impounding, and if he thought proper then to have brought this action, or purchased fresh ducks to supply the place of the former ones. The jury found that the plaintiff had sustained 30s. damages ; that the ducks were doing damage to the ait at the time of their seizure, and that there was no evi. dente what had become of the eggs laid by the ducks during the time of their imprisonment. The case excited great interest amongst a crowded court. BEATISLI.

Clerks.—James Lewis (1840), clerk in charge of the Assistance, and private secretary to Captain Sir Edward Belcher ; William Elliott (1848), clerk in charge of the North Star ; and William T. Richards (1848), clerk in charge of the Phoenix, to be paymasters. Lieutenant William Haswell, of the Investigator, was promoted to the rank of commander on May 5, 1854. The crews of the Assistance, the Resolute, and the Investigator discovery ships, and the Pioneer and the Intrepid, screw steam tenders to the two first named, and all left in the ice, are to be paid off at Woolwioh to morrow. No day has been named for paying off the Phoenix screw steam-sleop, Captain Edward A. Ingle geld, who all appear in excellent health after their summer visit to the Arctic regions. SHEERNESS, Oct. 23.—The courts-martial on Mr. William Henry Searle, acting-master, and Mr. William Elliott, carpenter on board her Majesty's Arctic steam ship Phoenix, Captain Inglefield, took place here on Friday last. The first called was that of Mr. William Henry Searle, acting-master. The charges against Mr. Searle were drunkenness, neglect of duty, and disrespectful conduct towardd his superior officer, Captain Inglefield then being in com mand of the Phoenix. The court found that all three charges had been proved, and they sentenced the said Mr. William Henry Searle to be dismissed her Majesty's service. The same president and officers were afterwards sworn to try Mr. William Elliott, carpenter of her Majesty's ship Phoenix, for service in the Talbot. Commander Robert Jeakins prosecuted. The charges were for absenting himself without leave when at Stromness on the outward passage to the Arctic seas, and for being larenght on board in a state of intoxi cation, and for having in his possession a bottle of wine, he having stolen the same from the gun-room officers. The first two charges were admitted by the prisoner, but the third charge was strongly denied by him. The sentence of tke court was, as there was nothing ' whatever to *substantiate the third charge, that the said Mr. William Elliott should be reprimanded, and admo ' nished to be more careful for the future. ANOTHER RUiSIAN PRIZE. Yesterday another prize, captured by her Majesty's steamer Archer, attempting to break the blockade of Riga, arrived in the river from the Baltic. She is called the Margie, and sailed under Danish colours ; her cargo consists of coals. She is to be taken iuto the West India Docks to be condemned, and sold for the benefit of the captors. The whole of the workmen have been withdrawn from the Liffey and Satellite, building, and placed oa the Thetis, at Devonport, to expedite her completion, it being necessary she should reach her destination before the frost sets in. It will be recollected that the Thetis is the frigate given to the Prussian Government in ex change for two gun-boats. MILITARY. It is stated that 12 additional infantry regiments and a further force of cavalry will be sent out to the Crimea in the spring, the latter including a regiment of.the Life Guards. The detachments of the Guards under orders for the Crimea, consisting of 100 of the Coldstreams, 150 of the Fusiliers, and 100 of the Grenadiers, march for embarka tion to-morrow. No. 2 company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain F. W. King, Royal Engineers, recently returned in the Cumberland, 70, from the Baltic station, assembled in service marching order at Woolwich on Saturday, and were inspected by Brigade Major York., Royal Engineers. The Provisional Battalion at Fermoy, under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Passy, was inspected by Major- General Mansel, K. 11., on the 16th, 17th, and 18th inst., on which last day the commandant received orders from the authorities to send to the Crimea 10 officers, 10 sergeants, and 500 rank and file. This very fine body of young men marched to Cork on Thursday, the 19th instant, under the command of Brevet-Major White, 49th Regiment, there to remain till the arrival of the Juno steamer, which is expected in the course of a few days to take them to their destination. Major White rejoins the battalion on the embarkation of the detach ment. Major-General Mansel was pleased to express to Lieutenant• Colonel Puny the great satisfaction he ex ' perienced in finding the troops under his command in such excellent order. CASH Or Lyon CORPOItALIS.—The effectiveness of this humble rank in the service being of unquestionable importance as a nursery for non-commissioned officers of a higher grade, we propose that a trifling increase be given to their pay as an encouragement. It often happens, from stagnation of promotion among the non commissioned officers, that men serve two years and cp wards before receiving their promotion as full corporals ; during this period they perform precisely similar duties, and are much harder worked with fatigues, escorts, can teen duties, ‘tc., than the private soldier, who, when in country quarters, has frequently his seven or eight nights in bed, and four or five days clear of all fatigues. The lance corporal is also put to some expense for paper, guard reports, &c., under these circumstances, and owing to the slowness of promotion, lance corporals frequently resign in disgust, or commit offences on purpose to be reduced. We therefore advocate an additional pay of 1-Id. per diem, to be given to four lance corporals for each company of infantry, and for being bombardiers of artillery, feeling convinced that the trifling additional ' expense to the country would be far out-weighed by the ' advantage gained by a better description of non-comis . sioned officers. The expense of adding lid, a day to the lance corporals in the whole army would be about 14,1811. per annum, at id. per diem only 9,4531.--United Ser. vies Gazette. THE MILITIA. The East Kent Militia, at present doing duty at Woolwich, assembled ea Thursday last in review order with their colours, and marched to the barrack-field at 10 o'clock a.m., and were inspected by Lieut.-Colonel Wood, C. 8., Assistant-Adjutant-General. At the con clusion of the inspection they went through the evolu tions of a field-day, each man having been supplied with 10 rounds of ammunition. ROYAL NAVAL CLUB OF 1765. The 4D th anniversary and entry upon the 50th year, or jubilee of the glorious victory of Trafalgar, by the Royal Naval Club, took place at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, on Saturday, the 21st inst. Since the reception of Vice-Admiral Cecille, of the French navy, then the ambassador to this country, in the summer of 1348, when the governor of Greenwich Hos pital, the late Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., presided especially for the occasion, as oae of the oldest and meet distinguished members of the club, there has not been so large a meeting of the members as took place on Saturday. Earl Nelson, the grand-nephew of Vice-Admiral Horatio Viscount Nelson, Duke of Bronte, of glorious and beloved memory, was the guest on this occasion. Captain Hood, who served as a midshipman in the A.chille, the seventh ship of Colliegwood's line, was in the chair, sipported by two of the surviving midshipmen of the same ship, who were also in the action—Captain Richard Douglas and Commander Lardner Dennys ; and altogether there were present the following fifty-one flag officers, captains, and commanders : Vice-Admiral Sir William Dillon, K.C.H. ; Vice-Ad miral Sir Edward Chetbarn strode, K.C.B. and K.C.H. Rear-Admirals Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart., Edward Collier, C. 8., J. Hollinsworth, Henry C. Deacon. Captains—William Hood (chairman), Mark Sweeny, William Chambers, Michael Quin, 'William Richardson, John Sykes, Edward Stanley, Charles Rayley, Edward Chappell, Edward Barnett, Hon. Thomas Best, John Hudson, Charles Edmunds, H. B. Young, Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., Harry Edgell, Edwa r d Anglefield, and Richard Douglas. Commanders--William Miller, George Howes, Henry Rich, Danield Weld, John Brandfurd, Thomas Smith, C. W. Jay, Edward Robinson, Henry Parry, John Mid dleton, H. Freestun, Lardner Dennys, J. T. Wood, G. F. Westbrook, William T. Rivers, J. Washington, Cave, A. N. Fairman, George Spong, H. Strode, J. B. Crawford, James S. Lean, Henry Lancaster, George Hand, R. M. Ward, and Samuel Rideout. Secretary—William Allen, R.N., Greenwich Hos pital. After dinner the loyal toast, " The Queen," was pro posed, and drank by all upstanding, with three times three enthusiastic cheers. The next toast, " Prince Albert, Prince of Wales, and Royal Family," was also drank, and enthusiastically cheered by the gallant officers. The CHAIRMAN, on rising to propose the toast of the day, prefaced it by the following history of that memor able event ii which he, as a young volunteer, acted a part :—This being the forty-ninth anniversary of the over memorable battle of Trafalgar, it is sot generally under stood that it is the jubilee ; but, nevertheless, it is so. Front scriptural record we find that the forty-ninth rest intliSa i t Sab bath of seven times sev en y ears was the year the land, and tillage ceased for that year George o mar k_ the epoch. If we go by mo dern precedent, r., of honoured memory, on the entr y upon the 50th , year of his reign, and on the 49th anniversary of his accession to the throne, had that event proclaimed by Parliament, and it was celebrate d on the 27th of Octob er , ISO 9, b; his admiring and truly attached !til, jects. If L or d N e l son 's life could have been p ossibl y 'pared to be here present as a member of the Royal Naval Club of 1765, how much would this great anni versary be enhanced lay his presence ; but instead of that great commander, we have the representative of the name and earldom which his valour won for his family, in the person of the hero's sister's grandson, and highly gratified are we all for- the pleasure and honour he has done us in accepting our invitation. I have just shown to our noble guest the medal which was prese - ated (with the sanction of the Admiralty of the day) and biy hiseth grandfather,erpettyoffi:zrAr officers, and Bolton, ndtoth t the quarter deck seamen and b n a i a t r t i l n e: s b , a . i t n h g e fl beene et, t a e v c o o l mze e m er e o ra f te th th e e fi e r v st er c -m la e ss in i o n ra t b h l e e action.

The officers, who are on parole, are—Major Grahn, Captain Ithliert, Cap tain Von Essen, Captain Snellinan, Lieutenant Bloum, Lieutenant Bollfras, Lieutenant Hook, Lieutenant Grotenfelt, Lieutenant Dalin, Younker (Cadet) Groten felt, Younker Leisted, Younker Leisted, Younker Beckman, Mr. Okerman (apothecary to the battalion), and Sheriff Oehrbun. The latter is a civilian, and pro tests age.insts his imprisonment, as being contrary to the usearee of war. The whole of the prisoners at Lewes bel:isged to the Grenadiersche Streltze, or Fusilier Gre nadiers, and formed part of the garrison of Aland. The men are Finlander:, but the officers, although Russian born, are descendants of French and German Captain Melert and Lieutenant Blown are accompanied by their wires, both of whom are highly accomplished ladies. Although the Russian array generally is attached to the Greek Church, the officers at Lewes are members of the Lutheran Church, to the doctrines of which those of the Church of England greatly assimilate, and the differ ences between them are riot such as to p rev e n t the officers a.ttendieg divine service in our churches ; but at present i Lieutenant Bellfraa s the only one who understands English. When the prisoners first arrived diarrhoea. prevailed among them, but from the exertions of Dr. Burton, the prison surgeon, assisted by Mr. Okerinan, it has now disappeared. Ile iafirmary, which is de tached, is fitted up with baths and every convenience, the siedicines are regularly a rrange d, an d e verything is ready for irnmeniate use. Acco mm odation is pro vided for thirty patients. The dining-room is con structed to contain 400 persons, and in it the prisoners breakfast at eight o'clock, dine at one, and take tea at six ; each person is allowed 111 b. of bread per day. This room is to be used on Sundays as a chapel, a clrgy' m a to n the having been appointed by G over nment to prisoners in their ow n l an guage. A preach e large shed has been fitted up for the mere to make toys in for sale to the public ; and here may be seen a considerable number of them seated on the ground cutting out of single pieces of wood with a knife, chains, representations of crowns of thorns, and puzzles, which are seperated at joints ; a large demand tor these articles has sprung up, from saspence up wards being the price paid for each article bought by the numerous c ustomers, and with this price the men appear exceedingly well pleased. The receipts are divided among the prisoners, and in one day 'upwards f 11. was taken. The toysbop-keepers at Brighton have taken the hint, and most of the shops of that de scription have "Russian toys" ticketted in their win dows. Most of the men speak three languasses—viz., Finnish, S we di s h, an d Ruse ; but the first is their native tongue, and the others they acquire by residence in various parts of Russia. The majority of them- are not only able to read, but can write tolerably well, particu larly the aergeante and other subordinate officers. If a comparison were made between the prisoners now 3n this gaol and one of our own regiments as to their intellec tual acquirements, we almost fear the " northern b erisa rians" would carry off the palm. A large room is being fitted up as a library, and writing materials will also be provided; suitable books will be furnished by the Go vernment, and the men are anxion.ly looking forward to their arrival. In almost every cell there is a copy of the Bible and Testament, and in one a visitor saw a soldier attentively reading the latter. Three men are locatecl in each cell. Workshops are being erected for the car penter and joiner, the tailor, the shoemaker, and the barber has not been forgotten ; a snug little gessitaping shop being in course of construction fur him to carry on his vocation in. All who have examined the prison ex press then- admiration at the manner in which the Go vernment officials have executed its orders; for providing for the comforts of the men, and the prisoners themselves appear exceedingly well pleased with the treatment they receive. Several of the leading gentlemen of the county have been introduced to the officers, and others hues , * left their cards. Among these are the Hon. H. =Brand, ALP., Mr. R. W. Blencowe, and Mr. W. H. Blaauer, county magistrates. The officers frequently take a ride over the South Downs, and appear delighted with the salubrity of the air. THE ROYAL PATRIOTIC FUND.—We have retut•n9 from all quarters of the United King loin of the instD,ait co-operation of all the country authorities, municil 'al bodies, and benevolent societies in the Royal reco , mendation to establish a Patriotic Fund' to meet tbe calamities of the war.

Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Pi cc adilly. Ob serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some 3 inches, with an ex tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person' s countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket gla.ss,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answ er every purpose on the race:course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, an d perspective glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are e nabled to employ their si g ht a t th e mos t m i nu t e ocen pation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag nifying power —and: they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the . same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it ena bles deaf Persous to hear distin c tly at church and at public' assemblies . ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in thi ears N entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired,--L-39, Albeeaarlt-street , Piccadilly.
