W INTELLIGENCE.—Jan. 26. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco.—Before the Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Martin.) BARRETT V. POWER.-SECURITY FOR COSTS.-SINGIILAR CASE. This was a rule obtained by the defendant, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why he should not give secu rity for costs. It appeared from the affidavits, on which the rule was granted, that the action was brought to re cover compensation in damages for the arrest of the plaintiff in the United States on a criminal charge arising in this country. He was subsequently brought within the jurisdiction of the courts, tried, convicted, sentenced to 14 years transportation, and is now undergoing that punishment at Portland. Mr. McNamara now showed cause, and stated that the action was a mos t i m p or t an t one, an d its object was to test the propriety of the defendant's conduct in carrying out the treaty f or th e ex t ra diti on of criminals between this country and the United States. The de fendant had conducted himself most illegally in carrying out his powers, having dragged the plaintiff across the boundaries of several states in order to evade the suc cessive writs of hab eas cor p us w hich had been obtained for the plaintiff with the view of effecting his release, and exhibited a C o lt' s revo l ve r to enforce it. It was submitted that the rule ought not to be made absol u t e, unless it was sho wn e ith er that the plaintiff was actually out of the jurisdiction of England, or was a bankrupt or insolvent, and sued for other parties ; but n ei th er of the facts existed he r e. The plaintiff was in this count r y, and was not likely to leave it ; and he was neither suing for the crown or for the benefit of any assignees, the cause of action not being one that passed out of the plaintiff to other parties. The rule bad been moved on the authority o f " Harvey v Jacobs" (1 B. an d Ald ., 159). In that case, however, the plaintiff was actually on board a convict ship on his way to Botany Bay, and might be said, therefore, to be out of England. Mr. Keating and Mr. Honeyman appeared in support of the rule, but were not called on, The court being of opini on t h at the plaintiff was b ound to find security for costs under the circumstances, a nd that the case could not be distinguished from that o f " Harvey and Jacobs ;" a convict was, for all legal p urposes out of the jurisdiction of this court, for its pro cess could not reach him. Rule absolute. (Sittings at Nisi Prius in Hilary Term at 'Westminster. Before M r. B aron Platt and a Special Jury.) This was the first day of the third sittings during the present term. The list contains 8 remanets and 20 new causes. Of the latter 4 have been struck out, and of the former 3 were marked for special juries, 2 of which were disposad of to•day. IMARD (AN INFANT) V. HOUSLEL—ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE! OF A SURGEON. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Kingdon were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Butt and Mr. Needham represented the defendant. This was an action brought by the father as next friend of the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for the suffering occasioned by the want of skill and mis conduct of the defendant as a medical man, which ren dered amputation of her leg necessary. The defendant pleaded that he was not guilty of the alleged careless ness and want of skill, and also put another plea on the record, that he had not been the medical attendant of the plaintiff, on which, however, no issue was raised. Mr. Crowder stated the case for the plaintiff, which will be found in detail by the witnesses, called in sup port of the case. Mrs. Susannah Seward examined—l am the mother of the plaintiff. My husband is an artist. We reside at No. 2, Foley-place, Portland-road. On the 28th of June last, my child, who was then an infant of nine months old, fell out of the bed and fractured her leg. I immediately sent for Mr. Housley, the de fendant, and he came and did what he though neces sary. The next day he applied the bandages, which reached to her toes. The following day he again called. I then told him that the child's toes were cold, and that she could not move them. He said she was going on very well, and would move them soon. Two days afterwards the toes got of a very dark red, and I drew Mr. Housley's attention to this fact. He said she was going on all right. The toes then got blue, This was two or three days after the accident. For a week or more he said she was going on all right. The blueness was the same as that caused by a bruise. At the end of seven or eight days I saw a blister on the toe and called Mr. Housley's attention to it. He then snipped up a bit of the bandage. It extended over the foot, exposing the heel and toes. He said he would remove the ban. dage if the toe got worse. He did not call the next day. The next day I took the child to him. I did so because she was worse. He said I wish I had seen it before. I said I hope it will be all right, and he replied, "No, doubtful." He removed the bandage as far as the leg was discoloured. It was discoloured about half-way up. He told me to apply linseed meal and bread poultices for three or four hours, and to keep them warm. The leg became much worse—more blisters came on it, the toes got blacker, and a discharge with a very disagree able smell came on. 1 called Mr. Housley's attention to these symptoms, and he said he would send me some thing to put in the poultices. On Saturday, the 16th, he paid a visit, and that was the last he paid before Mr. Erichsen, another surgeon, saw the child. On Tuesday, the 17th, Mr. Cox, Mr. Housley's assistant, called, and said Mr. Housley was out of town, but would be back the next day. The next day, Monday, my husband called in Mr. Erichsen. Cross-examined—The accident occurred on the 28th of June, and Mr. Housley came in five or six hours afterwards. He covered the limb with cotton wool and gutta percha and with small s pl in t s ma d e out o f a hat box. The child was at that time very healthy and stout. The defendant called once or twice a day after the leg was set for eight or nine days. I did not tell him it was not necessary for him to call every day. I left that to his discretion. Four or five days after the accident I asked if the child might go out, and he said that going out would not hurt it. I had a servant 18 or 19 years of age, who took out the child. He did not tell me before he ordered the poultices that the leg must be kept warm. He told me so ten or twelve days after the accident. The child's father was then called, and corroborated the evidence given by his wife, in so far as came within his own knowledge. Mr. Erichsen, a surgeon of University College Hospi tal, and a lecturer on surgery in that college, was next called. He stated that when he was called in to see the child gangrene had taken place two inches below the knee, and he at once said that amputation would be ne cessary. The child was too weak for the operation at that time, but he ordered nourishing food, and in a few days the child was sufficiently strong for the operation to be performed. The leg was accordingly amputated by him, with the concurrence of the defendant, an inch and a quarter below the knee. He expressed it as his decided opinion that the mortification was caused by the tightness of the bandage, but could not undertake to say whether it had been too tight at first, or had become so afterwards. Mr. Paget, another eminent surgeon, and professor of physiology at St Bartholomew's Hospital, fully corrobo rated the medical opinion given by Mr. Erichsen. The ease for the plaintiff having closed, Mr. Butt addressed the jury on behalf of the defen ant in a most able speech, and then called the following witnesses : Mr. Housley, the defendant, said—l have practised as a surgeon since 1837. I have known the plaintiff about two years, and have attended the family during that time. On the evening of the 27th of June I was ealled in to attend to this accident. I found the infant had fractured its thigh. It was a simple fracture. I put the child on a pillow, and. composed th e b ones. Th at, i n my judgment, was ie proper thing to do. The next morning I saw the child again. My assistant was with me. I then set the limb. I took some cotton wool which I applied next the skin over that some bandaging, includ ing. some chips cut the length of the thigh, over that I took some gutta percha so as to obtain a model of the limb, and secured that with another roller. That, in my opinion, was the proper a n d or di nary mo d e of ban daging a fractured limb. I made the bandage no tighter than its own weight would cause it to be as I passed it from one hand to the other. Mr. Cox was with me, and assisted me. I saw the child again in the evening. There was nothing in the appearance of the limb to cause apprehension, and I merely requested that the limb should be kept well covered. I saw the child twice on the 29th, once at midnight, because I was going out of town the n ex t d ay. On the Ist and 2d of July I again saw the child. Sometimes the toes were cooler, and sometimes warm. I told the mother to keep the limb better covered, and she told me she could not, for the child was restless. I saw the child on the 4th and 6th, and looked at the foot to see if any swelling had taken place. Up to this time no swelling had taken place. On the 9th the mother drew attention to a small vessicle between the great and little toe, and I then slit up the bandage to remove the tightness. Previous to that she told me there was no necessity for my coming every day ' for the child wasbeing taken out and if s h e saw any, thing she would bring it down to me. Th e child wa ; brought to me between nine and ten o'clock in the evening of the 1 lth. When I reached home I found Mrs. Steward and another person with the child. She said she bad been alarmed by an alteration that had taken place in the foot, which I understood her to Bay she had noticed during the day. I saw there was a great alteration in the colour of the foot, and I cut off the bandage up to the knee, leaving nothing on but that which was left on the thigh. I saw there was great lividity of the limb, and I thought I should lose a portion of the skin by sloughing only. but not such mortification as would lead to amputation. I ordered poultices, and that the child should have nutritious diet. I told her to apply the poultices every three or four hours. On the morning of the 12th I saw the child again. The toes had recovered a good deal of their natural colour, though they were swollen. I found the poultices cold, and I said to the mother she must have flannels wrung out in hot water if she could not keep the poultices warmer. I saw the child every day till the 16th. I continued up to that time the name treatment. I also ordered wine and stimulants in the shape of ammonia. This was at that time the proper course of treatment. On the 16th, which was Saturday I had occasion to go to East Grinstead professionally. , Before I left, I gave directions to my assistant to see the child. The child was the last person I saw before leaving town. I returned on the morning of Tuesday the 19th. On that day I met Mr. Erichsen at the pa rents' house. The gangrene was then complete and the line of separation, which I had not noticed on the Satur day, was then perfectly distinct. concurred with Mr. Erichsen in the prudence of amputating the limb. I had brought the child into the world, and attended it all the time. I considered it always a weak and puny child, and of a particularly pallid complexion. Its powers of vitality were low. I assisted at the operation. When the ligature was applied to the main artery, it ~~~ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE.—Thomas Wilson, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was charged with having stolen five sovereigns from Mr. J. Johnston, of Dumfriesshire, draper. J. May, one of the City detective officers, said—This morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, I saw the prisoner coming out of the Bank. The prosecutor was with him in the Bank-yard, and I observed the prisoner hold out and offer him five sovereigns, which the latter refused to take, saying that it was a t en poun d note he had given to be changed. A wrangle then took place between them, and I went to the prisoner and asked him why he had not given up the ten sovereigns, to which he replied, "I will do so, but in a convenient place—not here." Finding that the prisoner would not give up the other five pounds I took him to the police station, and there told him to produce the money, and in a short time he pulled off his boot, and I picked up five sovereigns, which had fallen from it. He then said it was a bad job, and he was sorry for it. Barber, a private in the Grenadier Guards on furlough, said—l met the prisoner on London-bridge this morning, and walked part of the way with him, when we met the prosecutor, who asked him to carry a portmanteau. He did so,- and we went with the prosecutor into a public house, where he asked for change of a ten pound note ; and, not procuring it, sent the prisoner to the Bank with the note, which I distinctly saw. The prosecutor had been drinking. The prosecutor—l have been travelling all night and am greatly fatigued, and I gave the prisoner the 101. note to get it changed at the bank, and he offered me only five sovereigns upon coming out. The prisoner was remanded. Thomas Steer was charged with having stolen a half crown. The prosecutor put down a half-crown on a table at a coffee-shop, immediately missed it, and charged the pri soner, who was next to him, with having taken it. The prisoner denied that he had taken the money, and even refused to restore a sixpence of it, although told that he was welcome to the other 2s. The half-crown was found in his pocket by the policeman. Alderman Moon —•What is this prisoner ! Policeman—He is a sort of waiter upon the cab drivers. On Monday, at a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, over which the Earl of Ellesmere presided, Dr. SHAW, the secretary of the society, read a paper describing the steps which had been taken with refer ence to the proposed exploration of Northern Australia. It appears that :-- "On the 30th of May and 6th of June, 1853, a com mittee of the society, appointed by the president, met to take into consideration a proposal to explore Australia from Perth to Shark Bay and Cambridge Gulf, and thence, across the great interior of the continent, to the Darling or the Murray. The result of the deliberations of this committee was a report, recommending to the council an exploration from the mouth of the Victoria to that of the Albert, in the Gulf of Carpentaria ; the means of transport to be bullocks, and drays, and horses, procured at Moreton Bay, where the expedition was to be organised. "On the 22d of July the Expedition Committee of the society, to which the report of the above committee had been referred, reported to the council that—' While no part of Australia appeared to promise a greater amount of rich country than on the banks of the Vic toria River ; on the other hand, the Albert, and other rivers flowing into the Gulf of Carpentaria, are supposed to traverse districts of equal fertility,; hence it appears to be of the utmost importance, both in a scientific and economic point of view, to ascertain the nature of the watershed which separates the streams flowing to the N.W. and N.E. in North Australia, as there are good reasons for believing that a large and fertile region may be opened out to colonists, independently of the direct geographical interest attached to the ascertain ment of the northern boundary of the supposed great desert of the interior.' It was therefore resolved ' that a deputation be appointed to communicate to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, the Chief Secretary of State for the Colonies, the opinion of the Royal Geographical So ciety, that it is highly desirable that an expedition be undertaken to ascend and explore the River Victoria, as far towards its sources as practicable, thence deflecting eastward to strike the Albert, and descend that stream to the Gulf of Carpentaria.' The deputation having waited upon his Grace on the 27th of July were re quested to send in an estimate of the probable expenses of the proposed expedition, as well as precedents for the same ; and on the 24th of August a communication and estimate were laid before the Colonial-office, of which the following are extracts : " ' The mouth of the Victoria River having, after due consideration, been selected as the starting point, it is proposed that the expedition shall ascend this stream as far as its watershed (probably about 300 or 400 miles south of Cambridge Gulf) ; thence deflecting eastward, as the nature of the country and the facilities of travel line- may permit, the exp l orers are expected to str i ke the head-waters of the Albert, descending which stream to the Gulf of Carpentaria they shall meet a small vessel prepared to receive them.

MAR LBOROUGH -STREET.—John Houghton was charged with having stolen a gold watch, value 20 guineas, from the person of Edward Jones, No. 41, St. Paul-street, Islington. Mr. Jones said he was coming out of the Princess's Theatre about 10 o'clock the previous night, when he felt some one pressing against him, and on looking about lie saw his watchguard hanging down, and he instantly missed his watch. The prisoner was in front, close to him. He (caught hold of him, seized his hand, and found the watch in it. He asked the prisoner what he was doing with his watch. The prisoner replied, that another person took the watch, and gave it to him to hold. The watch now produced is the witness's pro perty, and worth 20 guineas. The prisoner denied that the watch was found in his hand, Fully committed. William Jaws was summoned by Mary Crane for neglecting to support his illegitimate child. The parties, it appeared, had been fellow -servants at the Boar and Castle Tavern, Oxford-street; and it transpired that they only had one sleeping room between them. The corroborative evidence was ibis : George Pooley, about five weeks ago, saw the de fendant give the complainant half-a-sovereign. Margaret Barry lodged with the complainant, and after the child was born the defendant came to see com plainant two or three times. The defendant asked her how his son was, and she told him very well. Had not seen defendant give any money to the complainant, but had seen him give sixpence to the nurse. The defendant denied being the father of the child. He had given the complainant some money, but that was to discharge a debt he owed to her. It was true that he slept in the same bedroom as the complainant, but another man slept in the room, and the landlord's son also, a boy of nine years of age. Mr. Bingham asked the complainant if this was true. The complaina n t a d m itt e d it was , b u t denied that the other man had ever left his bed to come to hers.

There was a quantity of shavings in a state of Saturday. There was no ulceration at this time.

Re-examined—lt was at the time that I gave the mother leave to take the child out that she told me I need not attend every day. I told Cox to see that the warm applications were continued. Mr. J. Moncrieff Arnott examined—l reside in New Burlington -street. I am one of the council of the College of Surgeons, and have been the president. I have heard the evidence in this case. I think that there was no thing in the mode of placing of the bandages or the time of putting them on at all improper. I consider the at tendance was also quite proper—as much as is given in cases of fracture. It is required that the limb should be kept covered. If the bandage had been applied tdo tightly in the first instance, mortification would have taken place in the first three days. The displacing of a bandage might render it too tight. Most assuredly it is the duty of a surgeon to look after the bandages when he visits the patient. I think in my own case I should have cut the bandage soon, but it requires great experi ence in these cases to hit the exact time so as to avoid all sloughing. The mode pursued by Mr. Housley was the best for relieving the mischief. Cross-examined—I have no doubt that the mortifica " _ HAMMERSMITH.—Thos. Walker and Wm. Thos. Holloway were charged with committing a violent as sault upon Mr. Benjamin Baker, a clerk in the employ of Mr. John Newson. A gentleman named Duvall, owner of property in Peel street, Kensington, and Mr. Newson was appointed the agent, who in his absence authorised his clerk, the pre sent complainant, to act in his behalf, and to collect the rents. A female named Spiller had occupied No. 15, in Peel-street for many years, and when the complainant entered upon his duties he found her a weekly tenant paying 7s. a week. She neglected to pay her rent for some considerable time, and was in arrears to the amount of 211. The complainant gave her notice to quit, several months ago, but she did not quit the pre mises until about the end of October last, when she gave up the key of the house on the consideration of the rent being forgiven her. The key was delivered at their town office, and at the time she yielded possession of the house she said it was empty, and that there were no lodgers upon the premises. Subsequently the com plainant sent some men to repair the house before letting it to another tenant, when, to his astonishment, he found the defendant Holloway domesticated in the house with his family, and upon seeing the complainant he offered to become a tenant, which the complainant refused, and told him that he was a trespasser, and that he must leave the house. He then said that his child was very ill, and that it would be dangerous to remove it. Ul timately, the complainant allowed him to remain in the house upon sufferance until the child was better, as he did not wish to appear arbitrary to him, under the circumstances. Upon another visit to the house, the complainant met with another surprise, in beholding the other defendant in the house, and it turned out that he was also living upon the premises. Walker ten dered the complainant money as rent for living in the house, and asked him to allow him to become a tenant. The complainant refused both offers, and desired him to leave the house. Matters remained in that state until Thursday morning, the 19th inst., when the complainant proceeded to the house in question with some men, for the purpose of ejecting Walker and his goods out of the place, if he refused to leave quietly. The defendant Walker was asked to quit peaceably, which he refused, and the men commenced taking some of the things out of the rooms. Both defendants resisted violently, and in the affray in the passage Holloway caught hold of the complainant's hair, and also bit him severely on the back of his hand. The other defendant also struck him vio lently in the back, and endeavoured to prevent the goods from being removed. After some difficulty Holloway was carried into the street, and the other defendant ran into one of the rooms where his goods were, and bar ricaded himself in, while Holloway gained admission into the house by means of climbing over the wall of the adjoining premises. Mr. M'Leland, a broker, was also present, and had accompanied the com plainant into the house. Walker's door was subse quently broken open, and all his goods removed into the street. He was then told to leave, which he did from his own room, and he then walked into the room occu pied by Holloway, and said he was the guest of Hol loway. He afterwards returned to his own room and placed himself in the extreme corner. The complainant and his men then laid hold of him and carried him to the stairs, where he caught hold of the banisters, and in his resistance they were all broken and they came down to the passage, where the defendant laid himself down. He was then picked up and carried into the street. tion was caused by the tightness of the band;ge: - if the bandage were too tight at first, there would be mor tification in three days ; but if it were tight, and not too tight, then the mortification would take place at a later period. If the bandage were not too tight at first this would not occur, unless some change took place —some swelling. Mr. Baron Platt—to the defendant—Did you ever tell Mr. Erichsen that you attributed the mischief to the fact that the toes had not been kept warm ? Defendant--No, my lord. Mr. Crowder replied. Mr. Baron Platt summed up the evidence with the greatest care. The jury retired, and after an absence of ten minutes returned to Court, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 2001. SEWARD V. HOUSLEY. This was an action brought by the father of the child against the same defendant to recover the expense to which he had been put for medical advice in consequence of the defendant's alleged negleot. It was tried by con sent with the previous action, and therefore no evidence was adduced. The jury, on being re-sworn, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 501., making the en tire amount 2501. The defence was that Mrs. Spiller was still the tenant of the house, and that defendants were her lodgers. But as she was not called as a witness, and the sur render of her tenancy was sworn to, Mr. Paynter said there did not appear to him to be a shadow of a defence, and in fact he considered the case completely undefended. He then described the case as being the most wanton and disgraceful trespass that had ever been brought before him, and said the defendants had held possession in open violence of the law to prevent and obstruct the lawful owner from securing his own property. He fined, Holloway the sum of 31., or one month's imprisonment, and Walker the sum of 30s. and costs, or 21 days' imprisonment. The defendants Walker and Holloway were unable to pay their fines, and they were locked up. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Government had determined to assume the whole respon sibility of it, and that the offer of the command would be made to Captain Stokes. Sir C. FELLOWES related to the meeting what the Duke of Newcastle had said on the occasion referred to. His Grace stated that the Government had entered into the views of the society, and that the sum of 2,5001., calculated as the expense of the proposed expedition, would be considered in the estimates of the year. The Government, however, were willing to carry out the plan of operations on a greater scale than was contem plated by the society, and on that account his Grace in timated that they were prepared to take the matter into their own hands. They had no desire to reap where the society had sown, but the field was a wide one, and they had more difficulty in asking Parliament for a vote of money to be expended by a private body than if they went to it for what was undertaken by themselves. The Duke of Newcastle expressed his confidence in the ex perience and talents of Captain Stokes to guide the ex pedition. He also stated his opinion that the services of a geologist and botanist were essential on the occasion. Sir C. Fellowes concluded by congratulating the society on the enlightened view which the Government had taken of the subject. Captain STMT, who it was announced had volunteered his services in the proposed exploration, also congratu lated the society that the matter bad been taken up by Government. The Duke of Newcastle did him the benour to allude to him when receiving the deputation, and said he did not expect him to go out, but the in terest which such adventures once had, weighed with him still, and he would not keep his services back if they were considered useful. The expedition promised to be a successful one. Captain Sturt, before sitting down, indicated on the maps the course of his own travels in the interior of the Australian continent. Lord ELLESMERE intimated that Mr. Baines, the author of some interesting sketches from South Africa, which were exhibited in the room, had volunteered to join the expedition. Danube and the Limes Romanus was Scythian ; that in the ejection of the Goths from the Dniester, the Goths (ant not the Huns) were the intrusive population ; that the acts of Attila were those of a restorer rather than a destroyer. He was the analogue of Pelagius in Spain, rather than of Zenghiz-Khan or Tamerlane. History tells us little; two-thirds of what passe3 as such is in ference. Without saying that this inference will give us exactly such a phenomenon as the reconstruction of the empire of a Decebalus by an Attila (a patriot king instead of a barbarian conqueror), it gives us something far liker this than the opposite extreme, which is an ex aggerated picture of a great and gratuitous blcodshedder, with the scourge of God in his hands, and a whole vas• salage of kings at his feet. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTION OF SECOND MASTERS. The Admiralty have promoted six more second masters to the rank of master, most of them the seniors on theslist. They are John Patrick Dillon (1843), of the Scorpion, surveying vessel ; William Francis Greet (1845), acting master of the Arab, 16, in the East Indies ; Francis Skead (1846), of the Enterprise, Capt. Collinson's ship, in the Behring's Strait Arctic expedi- tion ; John W. H. Harvey (1847), of the Dolphin, 3, on the coast of Africa ; Thomas Kerr (1847), acting master of the Pandora, surveying brig, Australia ; and Master Norman (1847), acting master of the Niger, 14, screw, Black Sea. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Henry Croft (1853) has been selected by Captain Robb as his second in command in the Cesar, 91, screw, Portsmouth. Naval Instructors.—K. M. Knapp, to the James Watt, 91, screw, Portsmouth ; C. J. E. Archdeacon, to the Cressy, 91, screw, Sheerness. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 26. Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron is ordered to Spit head, and may be expected on Saturday. Admiral Superintendent Martin went on board the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, this morning, and mus tered and inspected the crew, The Colossus, 80, was taken into dock this morning, and forthwith commenced upon for conversion to a screw -ship. Mr. Thomas Baker, R.N., inspector of machinery, and until now attached to her Majesty's steam squad ron, and borne upon the books of the Victoria and Al bert, has been appointed Inspector of Machinery in the fleet of Vice-Admiral Dundas, and left Portsmouth this day to proceed overland to join the flag-ship Britannia in the Black Sea. We believe no other inspector of ma chinery will be appointed to the Victoria and Albert, but that Mr. Price and Mr. Truscott, the chief engi neers of the yacht, will conjointly do the duty. We believe several cruisers are ordered home from the coast of Africa station, their crews being wanted for larger drafts. We hear that two steam-sloops of war, of 1,200 tons each, are being built at Northfleet for the Russian Go vernment. Orders were received to-day by Captain Superintendent Courtenay, R.N., at the Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar, to complete hospital stores for 100 men for the sick quarters established by Admiral Dundas at Therapia. These stores will be sent out forthwith via Southampton. Captain Robb took up his commission appointing him to the Cinsar, 91, last evening, and hoisted the pendant on board. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., th e Command er -i n -Chi ef, went off to Spithead this morning in the Fire Queen steam-yacht, Mr. Paul master com manding, to muster the crew of the Frolic, 16, Com mander Nollith, and exercise them in naval gunnery, in which, we believe, they showed considerable proficiency. It has been since reported that the sailing of the Frolic for the Australian station has been countermanded by the Admiralty. She certainly is still at Spithead. The Sealark, 8, naval apprentices' training brig, Lieu. tenant Fenwick, went out of harbour this morning on a cruise, to drill her juvenile crew. The Eurydice, 26, advance frigate, was brought under the shears this morning, and unshipped her mainmast, which is to be stepped in the Illustrious, 72, Captain Harris ; the Eurydice is to have a new one. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 2G. Her Majesty's screw steamship Algiers, 90, having been named by the daughter of Commodore-Superinten dent Michael Seymour, was safely launched from the Devonport Dockyard this afternoon, at 21 minutes to 3 o'clock. Her rudder was slightly injured as she dipped into the sea. The following are her dimensions : Feet. In. Length extreme 255 6 Length between the perpendiculars 219 8 Length of keel for tonnage 179 6 Breadth extreme Breadth mou ld e d 6O 0 58 Depth i n h o ld 2 4 5 Burden in tons ... 3,340 20-94 old measurement. The topgallantyards were crossed and sails bent on board the Magicienne to-day, and she will go out of harbour to-morrow. The topgallantmasts of the Royal George were pointed to-day. The Thetis is hourly expected from Portsmouth. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 2 6. The Waterwitch screw steamer, Capt. Harrison, char tered by the African Mail Company, left yesterday with the usual mails for Madeira, Tenerilfe, Bathurst, Sierra Leone, Lagos, &c. She has a full cargo, but only eight passengers. The next homeward mail will be brought by the Hope, Capt. Bowen, due about the 6th proximo. The General Mail screw steam-ship Queen of the South, Capt. Norman, is due to-day, with the mails from India, Cape of Good Hope, &c. She made a splendid voyage out, and no doubt she will be here at the proper time. In consequence of the death of Mr. Wm. Stewart, the superintendent of the Breakwater, the Admiralty have given directions to Mr. Joseph Besley to superin tend the duties of that establishment until further orders. Orders from the Admiralty for the entry of 12 ship wrights was received at this dockyard on Tuesday. DEATH OF VICE ADMIRAL ROBERT ELLIOT. Another veteran flag officer, Vice Admiral Robert on the reserved half pay list, in receipt of a ser vice pension, has gone to his last account, at the good old age of more than 86 years. The gallant deceased, who was brother of Major-General Henry Elliot, was born in Roxburghshire, and from the time of his first entry into the navy, in 1781, he served afloat 25 years during the war. Assuming command, Dec. 26, 1796, of the Plymouth hired armed lugger, Mr. Elliot, in March, 1797, took (and was officially reported for his great ac tivity and successful exertions on the occasions) the pri vateers Epervier, of 4 guns, 3 swivels, and 29 men, and L'Amitie, of 14 guns and 55 men. For his eventual services in the Good Design, another hired armed lugger, in which he had been promoted to the rank of corn *ander Feb. 14, 1801, Captain Elliot obtained the Egyp tian gold medal. On being next appointed, April 11, 1804, to the Lucifer bomb, he proceeded to the Medi terranean, and, after entering the Dardanelles, was particularly active off the island of Prota, where he assisted, Feb. 27, 1807, in covering the landing of the boats previously to an attack on the enemy, whose re treat he was subsequently, with the launches of the squadron under his orders, employed to intercept. He afterwards hoisted the flag of Sir Alexander Ball, whom he assisted in carrying on the port duties at Valetta, until posted, June 27, 1808, into the Porcupine, 24. During the ensuing five years Captain Elliot was most actively employed. His last appointment was, Oct. 20, 1813, to the Surveillance, 38, in which frigate he served off the north coast of Spain. He went on half-pay in March, 1814 ; obtained the captain's good service pen sion Feb. 19, 1842 ; and was admitted to the out-pen sion of Greenwich Hospital July 15, 1844. His as sumption of flag rank took place Nov. 9, 1846, and the service pension was awarded to him in 1851. Rear-Admiral Elliot had for the last eight or ten years been perfectly blind—a misfortune partly attri butable to his services in Egypt. He married Ann, daughter of Andrew Hilley, Esq., of Portsmouth, by whom he has, with two daughters, one son, the present Commander R. H. Elliot, R.N. FLAG PROMOTIONS. On the vacancy occurring in the reserve pension list the First Lord of the Admiralty has very properly nominated a senior flag officer to the vacant pension— Admiral of the White James Carthew, thereby causing the following promotions throughout the grades : To be Admiral of the Blue.—Vice Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon, K.C.8., governor of Greenwich Hospital, vice Sir Howe Bramley, Bart., to be admiral of the white. To he Vice Admiral of the Blue.—Rear Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby, K.C.8., vice Hyde Parker, C. 8., to be vice admiral of the white, vice Hon. George Powlett, to be vice admiral of the red. To be Rear Admiral of the Blue.—Captain Sir George Robert Lambert, K.C.8., commodore in the East Indies, vice William 'Walpole, to be rear admiral of the white, vice W. B. Mends, to be rear admiral of the red. Vice-Admiral R. Thomas is now the senior of his grade, and the Hon. William Gordon is now the senior rear-admiral on the active list. On the reserved half-pay list Vice-Admirals Francis Temple and Henry Gordon become admirals, being senior to Sir James Gordon, but with their promotion they have no increased half -pay. On the retired list, Captain George Garry Lempriere (1825), having been promoted at the same time as Rear- Admiral Chads, C.B, Captains John Gore (1825) and Charles Bowen (1825), being seniors to Sir George Lambert, become retired roar-admirals under the Order in Council of 1846, with out additional pay. Captain Sir T. E. Vidal (1825) is now the senior on the active list of his grade. Captain John Townshend (1834) comes within the senior half-pay list ; and Cap tain William Gordon (1841) advances to th• 12s. 6d. half-pay list. A captain's good-service pension is relinquished by Sir G. Lambert, on promotion. THE AUSTRALIAN EXPLORING EXPE- DITION. Some months ago, we drew the attention of our readers to the contemplated expedition for the explora tion of Northern Australia—a scheme originally proposed • in the early part of last summer, by Mr. Haug, in a memorial to the Royal Geographical Society. All per sons who have interested themselves in the matter will • have observed, with great surprise and regret, that, in the report of the society's committee on this subject, all • mention of that gentleman's name is studiously omitted; and the carefully framed plan which he had laid before the society, and which has formed the basis of all the subsequent proceedings with respect to the expedition, is merely referred to as " a proposal," without the slightest allusion to its able and enterprising author. The motives for this strange and unworthy treatment of a gentleman to whom the British public and the Royal Geographical Society itself, are so deeply indebted for successfully stirring a question alike interesting to the statesman, the merchant, the emigrant, and the man of science, we do not care to inquire. But, whatever difference of opinion may have arisen between Mr.Haug and the committee, it will be universally felt that this attempt to deprive him of the honour which is so emi nently his due, is, to say the least, as discreditable to the society as it is unjust to that gentleman. We trust, however, that notwithstanding the injustice with which Mr. Haug has been treated by the body which professes to represent the interests of geographical science, his name will yet be formally and officially con nected with the great work on behalf of which he has so energetically and indefatigably laboured. The ex ploration of North Australia has now been under taken by the Government, and we cannot doubt that, in the organisation and conduct of the pro posed expedition, the Colonial-office will avail itself of the knowledge, the abilities, and the zeal of the man to whose labours--labours, let us add, in volving a large pecuniary expenditure—the whole enterprise is essentially due. It is, for obvious reasons, impossible to appoint a foreigner to the command of an expedition officially undertaken by the Government ; but we are persuaded that Mr. Ilaug's high claims will nevertheless be adequately recognised. We feel assured that the Colonial Minister will be anxious to secure his valuable services as a member of the exploring party, in some post worthy of his talents, his energies, his practical knowledge, and, above all, of the devoted and disinterested zeal which he has expended on this most important public enterprise.—Morning Chronicle, ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. On Saturday evening last Dr. R. G. Latham addressed a full attendance of the members of the society and visitors on the subject of" The early Occupation of cer tain parts of Europe by branches of the Turk Family." The parts of Europe and Asia which the present commu nication is intended to illustrate where the Russian governments of Taurida, Cherson, Ekaterinoslaw, and Bessarabia ; also the Danubian principalities and Tran sylvania, ancient Scythia, with a part of ancient Dacia. The populations under notice are the Co manians, (the Petshengues, the Khazars, the Avars, the Huns, and the Skoloti (or Scythm) of Hero dotus. That the first four of these belonged to the Turk- stook, is admitted generally ; that the Huns did so, is partially admitted ; that the Skoloti (or ScythEe) did so, is partially admitted also. At present, the Turk affinities of these two populations are a postulate. It is not here that the main point of our investigation lies. Nor yet does it lie in the fact of the preceding popula tions, one or more, having existed more or less exten sively in the parts under notice from the fourth century B.C. to the eighteenth century A.D., when the last of the Comanians of Hungary, who spoke the Comanian lan guage, died. That the Comanian was the Turk of inde pendent Tartar) , has been shown by Klapworth, who examined a vocabulary thereof—a vocabulary interesting as a piece of literature from having belonged to Pe trarch. The real gist of what was to follow consisted in the assertion of the consecutive character of the history of these populations, and the stationary character of their occupancy, to which must be added the criticism of the current opinions concerning them. These account for the phenomena of the parts in question, as if they were the result of migrations ; of a series of migrations ; of a Comanian migration, a Hun migration, &c. Now the present inquirer committed himself to the opinion that not one of these migrations rested on historical evidence. They were inferences only. That the Skoloti were indi genous to Europe is not believed ; it is only asserted that their invasion lies beyond the historic period. The rest are all inferences. Cognate populations within a certain area appeared to different historians at different times under different names. The presumed change was a change of population, implying a fresh migration ; the real change was a change of name. With the Avers, the really historical facts took place in countries west of the Volga. Their origin in the remoter parts of Asia is an inference or surmise. In respect to the Huns, the evi dence of the only author, Ammianus Marcellinus, who was cotemporary with their first appearance in history as a formidable populati on , i s em i nently capable of analysis. The historical fact is the ejection of certain Goths from the parts about the Dniester. The Asiatic origin is an inference. Twenty years later, the Huns of Attila ap per between the Theiss and the Danube ; and Priscus visits them. This is history. That these were the Runs of the Dniester advancing westwards is an inference or surmise. There is n• evidence on the point. The migrations, then, are hypothetical —matters of inference rather than testimony —and the view that adopts them must be critised as a hypothesis only. Further details on this point would carry us too far ; hence the results only of a careful investigation are given. These are as follow :-1. No o ne o f the earlier populat i ons of the list above given can be shown to have entered the ancient Scythia Euroi:Qa, since the beginning of history. 2. No one of the later can be shown to have been eliminated therefrom. All that can be shown is a change of name; all that need be assumed are ordinary internal move ments. Hence there was no succession of fresh migra tions from Asia, but simply details of the history of Scythia Europa. Is there any further confirmation of this—anything positive ? Migrations may have existed, though the evidence of them be wanting. The opposite hypothesis must have some facts in its favour—a few, if not many. Now, first, the name Hun, in the form Chur6, is found in Ptolemy and in Europe, so that the Huns were a part of European Scythia in the second century. 2. Priscus mentions that Royal Scythians of the time of Attila, without distinguishing them from the Huns, properly so called. 3. Skoloti and Scythm were collec tive names ;so was Hun. One of the details of the former were the Catiari ; of the latter, the Cuturguri. And one of the details of the Scythie, or Skoloti, were the Agathyrsi. In the same locality—i. e., in Transylvania— Priscus found the Acatziri Hunni. This identification is Zeuss's. Now, these were in ancient Dacia, and as D ac i ans they may have fought against Trajan. To have supplied a chief, they had no better claim than any other tribe--and no worse. Such a chief would be more or less Turk—i.e., if he were an Aga thyrsan, or Acatzirian. Such a chief probably existed ; at any rate, the name of Decebalus is Turk ; and the first proper Turk king of history is Dizabulus. No family has so good a claim to Decebalus the Dacian as the Turks. Of the Turk populations, the Agathyrs6 (Acatziri Khazars) have the best. Now, let us look at the,Huns of Atilla, of whom it must be remembered that nothing is absolutely historical, except so far as it can be found in Priscus. The usual authority, Jor nandes, in his best parts, rests only on Cassiodorus, a Gothic historian, who had the hate of his nation against the Runs, and one who lived half a century after the death of Atilla. The Attila of Priscus is a very dif ferent character from the Attila of later historians. He is 110 scourge of God, no murderer of his brother, no king of an unlimited domain. He has not even reduced the neighbouring Acatziri. He cannot be connected with the Huns who conquered the Goths of the Dnieper —i.e., he has no signs of being a conqueror who has come from the east. He may have been in situ, so to say, in a part of the original domain of a long line of ancestors. We find him in a certain locality, and we should take him as we find him. To bring him ab extra is an inference, an hypothesis. Great stress is laid on this. As far as evidente goes, the ancestors of Attila may have been, in the fourth century 8.C., where Attila was in the fifth century A.D. Where was this ? Not in the part which a conqueror from Asia, who had the pick of all Wallachia and Moldavia, would choose. It was rather in the part where the remnants of a reduced population would retreat to. [t was in the low-lands between the Theiss and Danube. Moro than this, it was in the parts between Pannonia and Dacia just the parts that belonged to nrither province —the parts that never were Roman. It is submitted, then, that certain populations of the Scythm, or Skoloti, lay far enough west to have lain within the limits of ancient Dacia, and that they were important enough to have supplied a chief in the wars against Trajan; that such independence as was preservec between the WOOLWICH, JAN. 26. Mr. Thomas Baker, inspector of machinery afloat, re ceived orders yesterday to proceed this evening, via Dover, overland to Marseilles, en route to the Black Sea, where ho will join the Britannia, flag-ship of Vice-Ad miral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 8., and will he borne on her books while the fleet under the gallant admiral remains there for the protection of Turkey. Mr. Baker will, subsequently, return for service in the Victoria and Albert, royal steam-yacht. PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY- 20, 1854.
