The Lady Jocelyn has been employ ed carrying the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and after a voyage of about 27,000 miles, calling at s , ,ven ports outward and eight homeward, has reached Plymouth two days before her time, and from her superior sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will make the run to Australa in 60 days.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or :features. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, ai not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp 3rt and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, FLEET-STREET. —At home from Ten till Five. should be remodelled ; inasmuch as, for the purpose of making a proper readjustment, local inquiries must be gone into, and questions of boundary must be considered, which do not fall within the scope of our commission. We recom mend that, as far as possible, the area and population of the wards be made equal, and we do not apprehend from the evidence which we have heard upon this subject that this would be attended with any insuperable difficulty. " The number of members usually appointed to serve on each of the committees of the Common Council seems to us likewise inconveniently large. A diminution in the num bers of the entire body would probably be followed by a diminution in the number of members on the committees, a change which we regard as desirable. The practice of making a pecuniary allowance to the members of the com mittees for their attendances, ought likewise, in our opinion, to be discontinued. " The anomaly of the present state of things would bo re moved by the entire abolition of elections in Common Hall, which we have already recommended with respect to the Lord Mayor, and which we recommend with respect to the other officers ; but, although the constitution' of the corporation would thus be rendered consistent, we think that the quali fications for the wardmote voters are susceptible of improve ment. ; 1 4 9.

" In the event of a division of the entire metropolis, such as we have ventured to indicate, being hereafter made by the authority of Parliament, we suggest the creation of a Metropolitan Board of Works, to be composed of a very limited number of members deputed to it from the council of each metropolitan municipal body, including the corporation of the City. We propose that the management of public works, in which the metropolis has a common interest, should be conducted by this body.

THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The ship Johanna Emilie, from Lisbon, seized in the London Docks by Mr. C. J. Cox, landing surveyor of the Customs, as being a Russian ship sailing under false colours, has been condemned by the Admiralty. Her cargo consists of wine and gums, and is of considerable value. Captain Fairbairn, of the steam-ship Courier, just ar rived at Hull from Christiansand, reports that a fine Russian barque and a brig were lying in that harbour, having arrived with salt from St. Tjbes. The brig passed through the Channel close by the French shore, but the barque went round Ireland, and passed the Orkneys. Captain Fairbairn heard that other vessels were expected round by the same route. On arrival in Norway the captains endeavour to sell their vessels and cargoes. The Russian merchant barque Thor, of Kasko, 350 tons, Captain Ehydeniez, 80 days from Moulmein, bound to Falmouth, for orders, entered Plymouth on Wednes day night. She has nine passengers. Yesterday another Russian prize, the George Jonge bloed, arrived in the river off Gravesend, and was subse quently placed in the West India Docks. By advices received yesterday, under date Harwich, May 10, it appears the schooner Wide Awake, of that port, had witnessed the capture of a large Russian brig by her Majesty's ship Dido. We learn by electric telegraph that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the wind being westerly, a ship supposed to be a frigate, was observed off Plymouth, going up Channel. She was under three topsails, had her courses hauled up, and bore an ensign at her peak. d The Meander, 44, Commodore Talbot, was appointe to leave the Cape of Good Hope on the,27th. of March.

Mr. Bouverie reported from the committee on this bill that the object of the bill was merely to raise addi- tional capital for the completion and general purposes of the undertaking. The amount of additional capital proposed to be raised on preference shares by the bill is 50,0001., and the amount of loan 10,0001. BARNARD CASTLE AND BISHOP AUCKLAND JUNCTION AND BRANCH. Mr. T. Egerton reported from the sub-committee that they had examined the allegations contained in the pre amble of the bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON (CHrPPINO NORTON BRANCH). Lord Stanley reported from the committee that the additional capital authorised by the bill to be raised by the company for the branch line of railway is 24,0001., with powers of borrowing 8,0001. The length of the branch line of railway is four miles, three furlongs, and five chains, and it is proposed to construct the same on the narrow gauge, but with power to the company to lay down the broad gauge if they think fit. It is in- tended that the railway should cross four public roads on the level. The estimated cost, or other expenses, to be incurred up to the completion of the railway is 24,9017., and the quantity of land required for the rail way i 5.32 acres. The co mm itt ee are sa ti s fi e d o f th e fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. , , NORTH LONDON.

EGERTON ' reported from the Eub-committee that they had amended the preamble of the bill by in creasing to 200,000/. the amount which it is expedient that the company should be authorised to raise, evidence having been adduced to the committee that such addi tional amount was required by the company. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, to receive a report from the com mittee of investigation appointed at a former meeting— Mr. Hadow in the chair. We propose that the Common Council, with reduced numbers, and a large and improved constituent body, be in trusted with the election of all the superior paid officers of the corporation. This is the scheme of the General Munici pal Act, and we see no reason for thinking that it is unsuited to the circumstances of the city. "We have received complaints with respect to abuses in the exercise of the compulsory power connected with the choice of persons for the office of sheriff. It has been stated to ns that these abuses have now been rectified • but we think that the election of sheriffs by the Common douncil instead of in Common Hall, will afford an additional security for the proper with use of propriety tho t powers.e the same The as thatoare qualificationfo ad r y proposed e r te o r s i e ff d s might for aldermen and confmon councillors. "At present the two sheriffs of London perform - the du ties of sheriff of Middlesex. We do not recommend any alte ration in the present relations of these two shrievalties.

" The Corporation of London possesses and exercises seve ral privileges affecting trade. Some of these confer an exclu sive right of following certain employments ; others are used merely as a source of revenue to the corporation. " We recommend that all laws, acts of CoMmon Council, or other regulation - 8, prohibiting persons not free of the city from carrying on any trade, retail or otherwise, within the city, or from using any art, occupation, or handicraft within the city, be repealed and abolished. In this recommenda tion the Common Council, by their recent resolutions, concur. " The corporation likewise possesses, by immemorial usage, confirmed by a charter of the 3d James 1., the metage of all grain, fruit, wares, and merchandises brought into the port of London. This right is not confined to articles landed within the limits of the city, but extends to all goods landed on both sides of the river, from Staines in Middlesex to Yant let-creek in Kent. " The corporation is likewise entitled to a street-toll, which is levied on all carts, not the property of freemen, upon en tering or leaving the liberties of the city. This toll, in the year 1852, produced a gross revenue of 6,9351.. If the city of London were now, as it once was, the entire metropolis, and if carts were liable to a toll upon entering it from the neighbouring country, this toll would stand on the same foot ing as other tolls which are now levied at the entrance of boroughs. But, inasmuch as the city of London now forms only a small part of the entire town, and as its limits are The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the ex: 4 arbitrary sections of continuous lines of streets, the toll in isting state of the City of London have issued a cone ere- question bas become a street-toll levied at certain spots in hensive report, which has just been presented to Parlia• the middle of the metropolis.

The reply of the board of directors to the report of the committee of investigation was also taken as read; It stated that at the time the present board assumed office the difficulties in which the company were in volved were without parallel in railway experience ; and, believing that the plans they then adopted were the best that could be devised, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and conscious of having since conducted. the affairs of the company honestly and faithfully, they ±elt no hesitation in submitting every transaction to the most rigid and searching investigation, supposing, of course, that the committee would, as is usual io such matters, allow them an opportunity of explain.' ing anything which might appear to be injudicious or objectionable. In this, however, they have been disappointed, and hence they state that the report is full of statements which ought to have been very materially modified before they were published, and which the committee should have known were capable of being ex plained satisfactorily. The reply of the directors, which is a very able one, explains at considerable length various matters adverted to in the report of .the - committee of investigation, with a view to show the inaccuracy of many of the statements contained therein. With regard to the assertion by the committee that the directors evinced a "want of personal interest in the undertaking," the directors state that, owing to seizures of the plant and other property of the company, they had advanced out of their own private funds, and without 4 , ;t , t‘ any security, 20,0411. The sum of 1501. paid to Mr. Bates, as explained by the secretary to the com mittee, was not for furniture, but for travelling and other expenses paid by him on the business of the company during his protracted stay in Ireland. The directors explain various items in the committee's report under the heads of Parliamentary and law expenses, land and compensation, construction account, forfeited shares, traffic, and liabilities. With regard to the cost of the land from Thomastown to Waterford, it amounted only to 7731. per mile, instead of 1,7611. per mile, as stated by the committee. It appeared that the committee, in their investigation, had refrained from examining the di rectors or engineer on the affairs of the company, and had trusted entirely to the evidence of the officials, con tractors, and others, and the books of the company. A discussion ensued, in which the Chairman, Mr. Bates, Mr. Dowling, Mr. Wills, Mr. Ellie, the contrac tor, and other shareholders took part, in the course of which various explanations were given and statements made. Eventually resolutions were passed adopting the report of the committee of investigation, recommending a change in the board of directors, with a view to place the affairs of the company in a satisfactory position, and requesting the committee of investigation to confer with the directors on the subject, and to report the result to the half-yearly meeting, to be held at the end of the present month. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the committee of investigation for their able report, and also to the chairman for his impartial conduct in the chair. THE WRECK OF THE ERCOLANO. We have been favoured with some details of the loss of the Ercolano, the ill-fated ship in which Mr. Halsey was a passenger, by Captain Townshend, R.N., M.P., who had them from the lips of Sir Robert Peel :—Sir Robert said that, feeling ill frOm the motion of the vessel, he was sitting in his carriage, which had been moved to tnidships on account of the heavy rolling of the sea, smoking a cigar, when suddenly, and without the slightest warning, a collision occurred. A large vessel (the Sicilia) came upon them at the rate of 11 or 12 knots an hour, running for eight or nine feet into the Ercolano, and literally "doubling her up." The col lision was so sudden, and death so imminent, that there was no time for co nsideration. Sir Robert had just time to spring out of his carriage before the funnel of the steamer and the apparatus of the galley fell against it, and threw it overboard. To take off his coat, his trousers, and his boots was the work of a moment. His servant was standing by him—an old and valued ser vant, much attached to him ; and in that awful moment Sir Robert (who must pardon us for referring to a cir cumstance which lie never intended to be made public) found time and courage and calmness enough to say a f ew words to his faithful servitor—" Good by ! God bless you! Nothing can save us ? In a few minutes we shall be in the other world ; but be comforted, I have made a provision for your daughter" (the old man's only child). The old servant said he would never leave his master ; but Sir Robert, feeling that there was no chance for either of them except in prompt and individual activity, exclaimed, "You can not help me. Do the best you can. I shall jump into the sea ;" and then he took a strong leap to escape the eddy caused by the sinking vessel, which he happily cleared. I n th e sea Sir Robert got hold of something, which he supposes to be the bowsprit of the Sicilia, which was carried away at the moment of the collision. Then he got hold of a chain, and finally of a piece of the wreck, to which he found three other persons, one of whom he thinks was his old servant, were clinging. In this position he remained, the sea rolling heavily, for three quarters of an hour. One by one his com panions relaxed their grasp on the floating portion of the wreck and dropped exhausted into the sea—their grave ; and at last he alone remained holding on till he was picked up by a boat belonging to the vessel which had run them down. Till that moment Sir Robert never lost consciousness or self-command, but once on board the boat he sank into a state of insensibility, from which he was restored in the engine-room of the Sicilia. Sir Robert says he heard the cries of people in distress from tho Ercolano before she sank, and he thinks that lives might have been saved if proper means had been taken. Mr. Halsey and his family, and many other passengers, he believes, were below in the cabins, in all probability asleep, at the time of the collision, and the doubling up of the vessel would prevent them from getting on deck ; but Sir Robert think, that if the Sicilia had remained about the spat till daylight she might have picked up some of the passengers, who would probably have been washed out and found clinging to the wreck.—Bertf °,'d 111 uctow. Sr. MARGARET'S, RICIDIOND. — The Conservative Land Society have just issued their plan and scheme of allot ment of the beautiful St. Margaret s estate, on the 7th o f June next. The est ate, which is about . 10 acres in ex tent, is for the presen t p ortioned out into 272 building lots for villas of a high cla . r ; the lots vary i ng i n price from PI. 4s. 6d. up to 4/5/. each. If we may judge f r om the plan, the estate , as laid out, will b e one of the most noticeable spots on the banks of the Thames, great care having been taken to preserve the natural and a rtificial beauties of that fine s i te. We observe that a c onsiderable portion of the p ar k i s to be preserved as a pleasure•ground. with an orn amenta l sheet of water , s panned by two iron bridges. k plot of ground 160 feet by 115 feet, has been reserved at the corner of the avenue for the erection of a church. From the plan it would seem to be contemplated to preserve the noble mansion erected by the Earl of Kilmorey. The fourth detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons embarked yesterday on board the Calliope transport, at Portsmouth dockyard—Capt. Goad, Cornet Goad, Vete rinary Surgeon Towers, and about 50 men and horses. The remainder of the regiment will embark in the Mo narchy and Harbinger transports to-day. The Jason steamvessel arrived at Woolwich yesterday from Deptford, and will be taken into the basin to em bark the whole of Capt. Wodehouse's field battery, and the centre division of Capt. Turner's field battery, for conveyance to the East. At Liverpool the preparations for despatching troop ebips are being prosecuted with unabated vigour. Yesterday the Gertrude (1,361 tons), and the Pedes trian, went into the river, having on board upwards of one hundred horses and a number of officers belong ing to the Ist Royal Dragoons. They were to sail for Constantinople to-day. The Panola (955 to will also sail from the Mersey to-day for Dublin, where she will embark horses belonging to the 11th Hussars. The Arabia, a fine vessel of 1,022 tons, the Coronelli, and the Rip Van Winkle, which are being fitted at Liver pool for the conveyance of horses to the seat of war, are in a forward state, and will soon be ready to receive them. The Asia transport was towed out of Kingstown har bour on Wednesday morning, and made sail for Malta with a troop of the 11th Hussars on board. The head-quarters of the 34th Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Maxwell, arrived in Portsmouth garrison from Sheffield yesterday. Capt. Taylor's troop of Royal Horse Artillery arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Canterbury. The head-quarters of the 12th Infantry Regiment with regimental band and colours, arrived in Dublin from Bel fast by the 5 o'clock train on Wednesday evening. The detachment consisted of three companies of the regiment, under the command of Captain Cox, with the subaltern officers of each company, and the ensigns and assistant • surgeon of the regiment. On leaving the terminus the troops were paraded in front of the building, and then, having formed in marching order in open column, with a double instrumental band in front, they • marched through Talbot-street, Earl-street, Sackville street, and the quays to the Royal Barracks, CM route to Cork, where they will await the arrival of the re maining companies of the regiment, which, when com plete, will embark at Queenstown for the East. Crowds of people accompanied them in their progress from the railway terminus, and cheered them repeatedly as they marched along. A Limerick paper, of Wednesday, says—" The Ad miralty have invited the Naval Coast Volunteers of the United Kingdom to tender their services on the sea as far as the Belt, to assist in bringing home the captured ships of the common enemy. Captain Jerningham, R.N., who superintends the Naval Coast service for the south of Ireland, accordingly mustered all the men en tered at the port of Limerick on Monday last, and ex plained the instructions he had got, requesting they would consider the advantage to be derived from parti cipating in this extension of duty, and which it would be optional with them to accept or decline. Ten of the number eagerly volunteered to proceed on the expedition, but Captain Jerninghain would not accept one of their names without full time for consideration. Accordingly, he yesterday again attended the rendezvous on the quay, when 30 of the enrolled men gave in their names for immediate employment upon this important branch of the war service, for which they are sure to be richly re warded, according to the number and value of prize ships escorted to British ports." Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, 200 volunteers from the 22d, 70th, and other infantry regiments were landed at Hungerford-market steam-boat pier by the the Sylph, Woolwich steamer, whence they proceeded by railway to Windsor, to join the 97th, under orders for the East. Yesterday forenoon the East London division of en rolled Chelsea Pensioners assembled for the first time, under the command of Captain Wood, in the moat ad joining the Tower of London, to go through their six days' drill. There were about 250 present. The pen sioners of the other metropolitan divisions will in the course of this and the ensuing week be inspected by their various commanding officers. It is expected that on next Saturday fortnight a review of all the divisions will take place in Hyde-park, in the presence of Vis count Hardinge, the Commander-in-Chief. THE 63D REGIMENT.—PRESENTATION OF CoLouas.— On Wednesday afternoon an inte restin g scene took place d in the Pheenix-park. The se rvice companiesil_ anew e 3 e of the 6 set Ea h d Regiment assembled in the Nine Acres, of colours was presented to them. Mrs. x am Swyny, who had been requested to perform the act of presenting the new colours to the regiment, came into the square riding a beautiful grey charger. 1 NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ANDES FROM FIRE.—The following is an extract from a private letter received by a gentleman of Plymouth, from an officer of the R oya l s, dated steam sh i p Andes, April 30, 1854 :—" I wr i te these few hasty lines to inform you of our safe arrival at Malta, which is now about ten miles distant. We have had, altog ether, a ver y fine passage. F rom Ply mouth to Gibraltar it was splendid, having left Ply mouth at half-past seven p.m., and passed Gibraltar on Tuesday afternoon at half-past three. During the night, of Tuesday, it blew a gale right ahead, which delayed us two days, otherwise there is little doubt we should have made the run to Malta in a week. We had a most providential escape yesterday from total loss. The ship caught fire, and for about two hours we were working for our lives, and got it under, thank God, without ac cident. The regiment behaved capitally. It was, cer tainly, the most alarming two hours of my life. We were a long way from land, had only two small boats, and had 1,050 men on board, and several tons of gun powder, so the loss of life must have been immense. We threw overboard 50,000 rounds of ball cartridges. The origin of the fire is not exactly known, but there is little doubt that it proceeded from the engine-room, or some where in that vicinity. We were, when the fire was dis covered, about 300 miles from Malta, and 60 from the coast of Africa. If the wind had been a little stronger we must have been lost." At the examination, held at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, on Wednesday and Thursday, the follow ing passed : For Lieutenants—Messrs. Knevitt, Poole, and Scott. For Master—Mr. J. Roche. For Masters' Assistants—Messrs. Swan, Gulliver, Osborn, Chaffers, Fisher, and Hayward. For Naval Cadets—Lord A. P. Clinton, the Hon. J. C. Ellis, the Hon. M. F. 'Murray, and Messrs. Fitz gerald, Ommanney, Wood, Law, Wadlow, Clanchy (these five and the Hon. Mr. Ellis were qualified by Mr. Eastman, R.N., at his Preparatory Naval College, " 31. That this board be empowered to levy a rate, limited to a faced poundage, for public works of general metropolitan utility, over the metropolitan district. " 32. That no works be executed by this board unless the plans have been approved by a Committee of the Privy Council. " HENRY LABOUCHERE. " J. PATTESON. " G. CORNEWALL LEWIS. " J. D. COLERIDGE, Secy." MANNING T_HE NAVY. A bill has just been introduced by Sir James Graham for " The Encouragement of Seamen, and the more ef fectual manning of her Majesty's Navy during the pre. sent War," The preamble recites the proclamations granting gene ral reprisals against Russia, and giving the captors the benefit of all prizes, and declares the objects of the act to be the encouragement of the officers and crews of her Majesty's ships-of-war, and to induce all British seamen now in any foreign service to return to the kingdom and become serviceable to her Majesty. Clause 5 enacts that the entire value of all ships and merchandise taken by any of her Majesty's vessels dur ing the present war shall be distributed amongst the officers and crew, according to the proclamation ; and that in case any vessels of her allies shall be present at the capture, they shall share in proportion to the num ber of men. Clause 6 declares that if a ship of war take any fortress on land, all stores, &c., found in it, or vessels in her har bours prot ec t e d by it, shall be the prize of the captors, and be distributed amongst them. By the 7th clause, whenever the army and navy, act ing in conjunction, make any captures, the proceeds are to be divided between the two services, as her Majesty shall direct. The Lords of the Admiralty are empowered to pur chase any naval stores found on board captured ships. By clauses 9 and 10, British ships recaptured from the enemy are to be restored to owners on payment of salvage of one-eighth of the value, unless they have been used as vessels of war. If re-captured before being taken into an enemy's port, they are to be allowed to prosecute their voyage. Clause fl grants, in case of the capture or destruction of any vessel of war or privateer, belonging to the enemy, a bounty of 51. per head for every person on board at the commencement of the action. The suc ceeding clauses relate to the proceedings for condemna tion in the Admiralty Courts. All prizes when brought into port are to be immediately delivered up to the marshal or officer of the court. The master, mate, and two others, are to be examin ed in interrogatories, and all papers found on b oar d d e li vere d t o t h e registrar. If no claimant appear, the court is within twenty days to proceed to con demnation. All claims must be verified on oath, and se curity given for costs. Persons claiming as joint captors must also give security. The property may be sold pen dente lite. The judges may order a prize to be delivered to a claimant on his giving security, and may also order the captors to give security. The proceeds of all prizes are to be paid to the account of the paymaster-general, and by him handed over to the Admiralty for distribu tion. All parties interested may apply to the High Court of Admiralty, in England, for decision on any point. By clause 32, any captor retaining any part of the proceeds is to pay interest of one per cent per month. An appeal is given in all cases to the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council, and her Majesty may ap point additional members to hear appeals in prize cases. By clause 39 all prize goods and merchandise are de clared haVe to duty. Under the succeeding clauses no deserter from her Majesty's service is to be entitled to any share of bounty or prize money. Any officer in charge of a convoy who leaves his convoy to capture or carry into port a prize, forfeits his share. Masters of merchant vessels under convoy disobeying the orders of the officer in charge, are to forfeit a penalty not exceeding 5001. Any officer in her Majesty's service making a collusive capture is to forfeit a sum not exceeding 1,0001. A penalty is imposed on any person who shall attempt to ransom any ships or goods captured by the enemy, and all contracts for such ransoms are declared void. By clause 49 hired armed vessels are subjected to the same rules as the vessels of her Majesty's fleet. The concluding section of the act authorises her Ma jesty to appoint judges of prize causes, grant them re tiring pensions, and regulate the fees and practice of the courts. The Secretary of State is authorised to grant licenses for the importation and exportation of goods, and the act is to continue in force during the present war. The short title of the act is " The Prize Act, Russia, 1854." In connection with the above bill another has been introduced, "To Facilitate the Payment of ber Ma jesty's Navy, and the Payment and distribution of Prizes, Bounty, &c., and the Regulation of Accounts relating thereto." The proceeds of all prizes and all salvages, and bounty moneys, are to be handed over to the paymaster-gencral to the credit of the " naval prize account. All costs awarded by the court arc to be paid, and the balance distributed as directed by the Admiralty. Then follow provisions as to the auditing of the paymaster-general's accounts. Clause 13 empowers servants to join the navy though their term of service has not expired. The short title of the act is " The Naval Pay and Prize Act, 1854."
