Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Yesterday a meeting of this Institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq , F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Sir Edward P( rrott, Bart. ; George Lyall, Esq., M.P. ; Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S.; W. H. Harton, Esq. ; John Griffith, Esq. ; Admiral Bullock Montague Gore, Esq. ; and Richard Lewis, E-q., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £5 108 was voted to the crew of .the institution's lifeboat at Drogheda, for putting off and saving the crew of three men, from the schooner Maria, of Milford, which was wrecked on Drogheda Bar, on the 9th ult. There was a strong gale of wind blowing at the time, with a heavy sea on the bar, but the lifeboat soon reached the vessel, and suc ceeded in taking off the crew, which was hardly accom plished before the schooner fell over on her beam-enis and became a total wreck. This valuable lifeboat has, during the last two years, been instrumental in saving sixteen per sons from different wrecks. A reward was also granted to the crew of a fishing boat for rescuing, at some risk of life, six persons from another boat, which was capsized in a heavy ground swell, near Castletown, Berehaven, count Cork, on the Bth of Aprillast, The boat was laden. with seaweed, and was proceed ing to the shore, when a heavy s ea struck her an d she y im mediately went down, leaving the crew of five men and a woman in the water, struggling for their lives. The salvors hastened to their assistance, and were, fortunately, the means of rescuing them from perishi ng . A reward was also voted to a boatman named P. Connor, of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, for pl upg i n7 the 7th ult. The lad was quite insensibl e w h e n brought ashore, and would no doubt have perished but for the intre pidity of Connor. He had previously s into the sea and saving a lad who had fallen off the q uay at t h at pl ace on saved life in a simi lar manner. A reward of £2 103 was also granted to the crew of a fishing coble for putting off and rercuing the crew of four men of another boat, whioh was capsized some time since in a heavy sea off Cullercoats, The salvors had just r eturned from fishing, and, seeing the other boat capsize, they again launched their boat and proceeded to the rescue of their fellow fishermen, who were clinging to the mast, oars, &c., of the sunken boat. It was reported that benevolent persons had presented the institution with the cost of the new lifeboats to be stationed at New Brighton, near Livet pool ; Donna Nook, on the coast of Lincolnshire ; Tramore, near Watorford ; Poole, Dorset ; and Sennen Cove, Land's End. The important new instructions of the Institution for the Restoration of the Apparently Dead from Drowning had been most extensively circulated by the society throughout the United Kingdom. They had also been forwarded to our colonial governors, and to the ambassadors at the English Court. The latter had expressed their high appreciation of the same. A communication was read from the French Minister of Marine acknowledging, with thanks, some drawings and various papers, forwarded by the institution, relative to ships' lifeboats. Tho late GL Wheelhouse, Eeq•, of Deptford-bridge, had left the institution a legacy of £250. The South Holland Shipwreck Association had requested the society to order for them a new lifeboat, a transporting carriage, and equipment complete. Some fearful shipwrecks had occurred on that coast during the past winter, with the loss of 500 or 600 lives. The institution had lifeboats ready to be sent to Padstow, Cornwall; Redcar, Yorkshire; and Teignmouth, Devon shire. Payments amounting to £3OO having been trade on vari ous lifeboat establishments, the proceedings terminated. THE JEWS IN MOROCCO, Sir Moses l'ilontefiore has addressed the following letter to the illustrious Oozier Sid Taib El Yaminy, Minister of State, Morocco : Grosvenor-gate, Park-lane, London, June 1. _ _ May it please your Excellency,—My heart is deeply im pressed with thankfulness to your excellency for the kind letter which your excellency has so courteously transmitted to me in reply to that which I had the honour to address to your excellency on the 23d of February last. Since my return to Europe I had the honour, while at Madrid, to place in the hands of her Catholic Majesty the Queen of Spain a copy of the Imperial edict of your august Sovereign,with a translation in the Spanish language ; and, while at Paris, to place in the hands_of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French a like copy, with a translation in the French language. Also, on my arrival in London, I had tho gratification to present to the Government of my beloved Sovereign a like copy, with an English translation. The Imperial edict of his Sheriffian Majesty has obtained a world wide celebrity, and has everywhere received the eulogies to which it is so eminently entitled. The friends of humanity and civilisation throughout the world entertain the earnest hope and belief that your gra . cious Sovereign and that you, illustrious Sir, will cause that edict to be known and respected by all the governors and officials in the Empire of Morocco. There is too much reason to fear that there exist a dispo sition on the part of some of these governors and officials to ignore or disregard the benign commands of the Sultan, and that they are acting in direct contravention of his Sheriffian Majesty's high and exalted intentions that his Jewish, and other non-Mahornedan subjects shall be per mitted to enjoy the benefits so humanely secured to them by his Skeriffian Majesty's glorious edict. These are iudeed sad tidings. 0, let not these oppressors be allowed to persevere in their wrongdoing I I intreat the immediate and effectual interposition of his Sheriffian Ma jesty and of your Excellency. The Imperial edict went forth as a beam of light to co-religionitts in Morocco ; suffer not, I implore, its brightness to be dimmed, its efful gence to be extinguished, I t i mparts joy and promise; per mit not that joy to be d estroyed, that promise to remain unfruitful. Hundreds of thousands of human beings in Morocco raise their voices in praise and thankfulness to God for the benign desire of his Sheridan Majesty and of your Excellency to ameliorate their condition and to remove from them oppres sion and suffering. Let it not ba that their fond hopes are a vain shadow, that their cheering anticipations of a brighter future are a delusive dream. How great and how sacred are the prerogatives of majesty I It directs its people's welfare, and their paths are bedecked with flowers ; it forbears to punish the oppressors, and their path is beset with thorns. I know full well and have personally experienced the kindness of your august Sovereign and of your Excellency, and therefore I rely with firm faith on the generous promises w hi c h I have received that th e Imperial edict should be promu l ga t e d throughout the M oorish Empire and its pro visions strictly enforced. and security! Glorious, most glorious ar e th e i r r ulers, to whose HapH ap wisdom Happy, most h a nda happy,humanity, the nations dwelling in peace inspired by Almighty Goa, the people look up for the perpetuity of those blessings I Condescend, illustrious Sir, to coLsider these my humble words, spoken in the fulness of my heart, and with the most truthful earnestness. my assurances of respect t o your august Deign Sovereign, to and on to y receive with favour ray best wishes for his and your health an d welfare, and for the prosperity of the Moorish Empire. e _ convey _ I have the honour to remain Your Excellency's faithful and obedient servant, MOSES MONTEFIORE.

DULWICH COLLEGE, Yesterday was what may be called " speech day" at this now fast rising collegiate institution, when the usual classic and dramatic orations were delivered, and the 'prizes to the successful students at the Upper School publicly awarded. Dulwich College, though founded in 1629, dates its real career of usefulness as a leading ',educational institution from a very recent period indeed, and, in fact, it is only since its reconstitution under the act of Parliament of 1858 that its resources have been developed - in such a way as in the course of a few years more, under its present excellent masters, bids fair to place the College on a level in point of educational efficiency with our best schools. Under its old charter no provision was made for extending the sphere of either its charitable or educational value in proportion as its yearly income grew with the enormously increased ren tals derived from the land with which it is endowed. Cer tainly, neither the worthy actor who founded it, nor any one else in his time, or even for a long period after, could ever have foreseen the future wealth which he bequeathed in the acres of swampy woodland which he left to the infant College. Every year now adds to the value of the land the College holds and the rents which it derives from it. There is little doubt that in the course of another century Dulwich College will be very richly endowed, and with the care which is taken under the Act of 1858 to keep its educational system expanding in kroportion to its wealth, there seems no reason why, with its large endowment, it should not attain high eminence as one Of our great collegiate schools. At present the institu tion is divided into an Upper and Lower School, the upper preparing young men for the universities or any of the learned professions ; in fact, combining the old classical routine of public schools with an extensive study of the modern languages, history, and physical sciences. The Lower School offers a sound commercial education. There are as many foundationers in the Lower School as the new governers under the act may appoint, but in the upper there are only 24. The boys of the Lower School are restricted to inhabitants of the hamlet of Dulwich, as it is called, and the four parishes of St. Giles's, Camberwell; St Saviour's, Southwark; St Luke's, and St Botolph's. The Upper School will soon be thrown:open to young gentlemen from all parts of the kingdom. Nearly half the income of the charity is now absorbed by the pensions granted under the act to the old officers and others of the school whom the act superseded, and the remainder is divided into four parts— three of which are devoted to purposes of education, and one part to charity, or in other words, to the pensioners whom the benevolence of the college supports. Under its old char ter the pensioners were six men and six women, each of whom received the munificent allowance of £l5O per annum. Under the new act the numbers of the pensioners will be increased, and the amount given diminished to X5O per an num, and as the pensioners to the old officers of the college fall in, they will of course be added to its annual income. By the terms of the new act the college is not allowed to have any out-pensioners on its funds till it has 24 in-pen sioners, and for such a number in the present state of the college accommodation there is absolutely no room. In fact, as it is, the building is quite insufficient to meet the requirements of the Upper or Lower Schools, in the former of which there are 130 students, in the latter 80. The extension of the building has been urgently needed for some time, but now we believe plans have been definitely adopted, by which the foundation-stone of new buildings about half a mile nearer Norwood than the present college will be laid next year. It is certainly impossible that the school can go on much longer within its present confined • Yesterday the prizes were given, and the speeches made at the end of the beautiful picture gallery. The Visitor to the College, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev. W. Rogers, Chairman of the Board of Governors ; the Rev. Dr. Carver, Master of the College ; the Rev. W. F. Green field, M.A., Master of the Lower School, and a large num ber of ladies and gentlemen were present at the distribution. The prizes, which consisted entirely of books, wers given by the Archbishop, who made a few kind congratulatory remarks to each recipient. Ia the classical department, prizes were given to Mr C. H. Lane, Mr Doble, Mr S, G. Thomas, Mr Ryrie, Mr G. H. Morgan, Mr C. Gull, Mr S, Cope, and Mr A. Ogilvie. In the mathematical classes, prizes were gained by Mr E. M Everett, Mr R. J. Milner, Mr F. W. R. Denny, Mr Holman, Mr J. G. Dearle, and Mr F. St. George Rich. In French, prizes were given to Mr Doble, Mr Roche, Mr Jackson, Mr Nightingale, Mr H. A. Bone, and Mr S. Cope. Mr Ryrie took the prize for drawing, Mr F. W. R. Denny for free hand drawing; Mr Lyne for vocal music and choral singing. Mr C. H. Lane, Mr A. L. Lane, and Mr C. C. Rich, the prizes for Divinity. Mr C. E. Doble carried off the prize for composition, enc' Mr J. C. M'Donell and Mr F. S. Phillips, the senior and junior prizes respectively for writing. These prizes were given during an interval between the recitations, which were of the usual character, including scenes from "Plautus," " Shakspere," " fEschylus," and other dra matists. Some of the best scenes from "Much Ado About Nothing" were given with an amount of comic humour and force that were admirable, while from first to last the reci tations gave evidence of a care and finish in their delivery that reflected the highest credit on both students and teachers. Dr, Livingstone, The following communication from Sir Roderick Murchison will be read with interest and gratifica tifieation, as imparting information concerning the movements of Dr Livingstone, and serving to allay the painful anxiety Excited by the reported murder of the energetic explorer of African territory : I have received letters from my distinguished friend Dr Livingstone, by the last of which, dated Mozambique, Feb. 24, I learn that he was in good health, and was about to proceed to Bombay, there to endeavour to sell the Lady Nyassa steam vessel, which he had constructed at his own cost. When he received at Shupanga the notice of the abo lition of his consulate he was unable for want of water to transport the Pioneer steamer down the Zambesi. Knowing that he must wait till the rains filled the stream, he, with his well-known zeal, resolved to devote all the time which must intervene to execute a journey into the interior along the western banks of the Shire, and, if possible, to deter mine if. the Lake Nyassa, which he had formerly examined, was supplied by waters from the north, and which were supposed to issue from the Lake Tanganyika of Burton and Speke, Unfortunately, the boat which he had pre pared to ascend the 6hire was lost in one of the cataracts. Nothing daunted, he pushed on upon foot, attended by his faithful Macololo and the steward of the Pioneer, and keeping to the north-west explored a range of mountains running north and south, about 6,000 ft. above the sea, with rich valleys beneath them, at an altitude of 2,000 ft. Arriving at Kotakota Bay of the great lake, in lat. 12 deg. 55 min. S., where that vast sheet of water is reduced to a narrow channel, he there found the transfer of slaves across to the east coast to be in full vigour, and he deeply regretted that he had not been permitted to continue his services by bringing his little steamer, the Lady Nyassa up to this point, as he could with her most effectively check this slave transit. The Pioneer, constructed by the Go vernment, was found to draw too much water for interior navigation. The account of his journey from there to the west and north, which is full of interesting new data, will be given to the Royal Geographical Society on June 13. With the sincerest desire to prosecute his researches to the north by west, his sense of duty impelled Dr Livingstone to return to the Zambesi, before he could determine by per sonal survey the direction. in which the waters flow at the north end of the Lake Nyassa, but he collected much valu able native information, which will produce interesting dis• cussions among geographers. Suffering temporarily from severe illness, and being under strict orders to abandon the Zambesi expedition, he felt compelled to return to complete his official duties by taking the Pioneer down that river, and with his companions he therefore travelled back nearly 700 English miles in 55 days, and reaching Shupanga he thence descended the stream. True to his word, he under took to send to the Cape the native boys and children, who had been freed and partially instructed. Let us hope that he may not suffer much pecuniary loss by the sale of his own Lady Nyassa, expressly constructed at his cost, to stop the slave trade across the Shire, and that our Government will not be oblivious of the hearty and devoted services of this meritorious missionary and explorer. P.S. In a letter from Shupanga, on the Zambesi, dated Feb. 10, Livingstone adds, to s detail of his recent explora tions in the interior, the following paragraph :—" I hope a report of my being murdered had not reached my family, as they may believe it the more readily on account of the lies already propagated. I have never known any difficulty with an interior tribe, or any other not engaged in slaving." GOVERNMENT SUCESSES IN THE FRENCH ELEC.. TlONs.—The Government appear to have won a double electioneering victory in the South. M. Bravay, whose name is known in England chiefly in connection with the steam rams, has been returned by a large majority in the first circumspection of the Gard. He had been elected twice already, and the Corps Legislative had quashed his election-14,765 votes were recorded in his favour ; his opponent, M. Chabanon, only polling 6,381. In the fourth circumscription of the same department the Opposition candidate was also defeated by the gentleman supported by the Administration—the numbers at the close of the voting were as follows :—M. Andre, 14,490; M. Pasquet, 6,311, Some curiosity is felt a s t o w h e th er th e L eg islature will again unseat M. Bravay, who is objected to apparently for the sole cause that slanderous rumours have been circulated against him which do not appear to have a shadow of a foundation, but which the peculiar procedure of French to clispreVe i Q9ATte the Mgt% of libel did net enable PRICE ..4d. STAMPED'....Sd. The Circassian Exodus, The following address has been drawn up by the sub-committee, consisting of Lord Stratford do Recicliffa (in the chair), Lord Gtrangford, Mr. Danby Seymour, Mr. Oliphant, and Mr. Stanley, and agreed to at a meeting of the general committee, the names of whom have been already published : The committee which has been formed for the relief of the distressed Circassians feel it incumbent upon them to lose as little time as possible in appealing to the public. for support to enable them to carry out the benevolent object they have in view. The accounts which have already reached this country convey some idea of the nature and extent of the misery it is sought to relieve. The committee, in the intetests of the Circassians them selves, are anxious to have it clearly understood at the out set that the present appeal is based exclusively upon motives of humanity. At the same time, whild they disclaim any object of a political character, they cannot possibly deny that their desire to assist in relieving the Circassians is greatly increased by the consideration of those circumstances which have led to the present catastrophe. The final result of 40 years of determined resistance to the armies of Russia is the deportation of the three principal tribes of the western Caucasus. The resources of their country having become exhausted, and the energies of its population worn out by the protracted struggle, they have at last submitted to an overwhelming necessity, and are now undergoing the painful process of expulsion from the coun try to which they have shown themselves so peculiarly at tached. We may, indeed, measure the degree of pressure under whichiKey are migrating to Turkey by the vigour with which they have resisted the encroachments of their enemies through this long course of years. As there is no circulating medium in Cireassia these mountaineers arrive at the coast utterly destitute. Ships provided by the Turkish Government convey them to Tre bizonde and other ports on the northern shores of Asia Minor. The mortality during this short voyage has been in many instances fearful, and typhus fever and small- I pox have already swept off thousands of men, women, and children. The Turkish Government has taken most ener getic steps to mitigate this misery, and we are credibly assured that a sum of £50,000 has been devoted by the Sultan himself to conveying the Circassians to Constanti nople, housing them when there in refuges and hospitals, and sending them in small colonies as settlers into the in terior. The necessities of a whole nation, however, tax the charitable resources of Turkey beyond what they can bear. It is, therefore, earnestly hoped that the public, in the true spirit of our national generosity, will contribute towards helping the Circassians to reach the land provided for them by the Turkish Government, and towards keeping them alive until they can work for themselves. As these poor people have been reduced to their present condition by no fault of their own, but, on the contrary, are suffering in consequence of the very zeal and ardour of their patriotism, as they have no choice left them as to their fate, but are compelled to face pestilence and starvation, and as their only desire is to find that peace elsewhere which has hitherto been denied them in their own country, and to earn their bread by honest industry, they have the highest claims upon our charity. It is calculated that in the course of the next two months a population of 300,000 souls, a large proportion of whom are women and children, will be cast, starving and half naked, upon the shores of Asia Minor. The Committee trust that the circumstance that this nation is obscure and little known in this country will not deprive it of the sympathy of the public. Nor should the fact that the misery is on such a gigantic scale dishearten us in our attempts to relieve it. Whatever money is collected and subscribed in England will be applied to the relief of the most urgent cases of suffering. The late Sultan himself set us an example which we might now gracefully follow when he subscribed £l,OOO out of his own purse to a fund which had been raised in this country to relieve a distress in Ireland almost as vast in its dimensions. THE RIGHT HON. ROBERT LOWE, M.P., has been elected a trustee of the British Museum, in the room of the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis. MELANCHOLY DEATH...--It is our painful duty to announce the death, in the prime of life and health, of Mr. Henry P. Pigot, of Capard-house, who was found drowned in his own lake on the 28th ult., at 6 o'clock. It appears that the unfortunate gentleman left his house on the evening previous, at 8 o'clock, to take his accustomed walk through the grounds; and, in anticipation of a sheep. shearing which was to take place on the following day, he gave orders, as he was leaving, that he should be called in the morning half-an-hour before the bell rung for the work men to assemble. Expecting his return to the house, one of the household remained up to open the door and receive any commands he might have to give. Not returning for some hours, there was a certain amount of uneasiness felt at his stopping out so long; still his absence was attributed to his having gone to the house of some neighbouring gentle man, and it was only at 6 o'clock next morning, when the labourers were coming to Capard for the day, that a search was instituted for him. On passing the edge of the lake, which lies at some short distance from the house, two of the workmen saw in the water the body of their lamented master, and, having carried it to the shore, they discovered that life had been extinct for several hours. It appears that the walk by the lake at this particular point is very narrow, and has been made more difficult to pass by the boughs of the laurel trees which thickly overhang it; and it was evident from the marks on the ground at the edge of the lake that the unfortunate gentleman's foot slipped, and that he was unexpectedly immersed in the water. Although the lake is not more than three or four feet deep at this place, the bottom, which is composed of a thick, slimy mud, carried down from the mountain, would render it, in all probability, impossible for him to extricate himself, and he thus lamentably perished. An inquest was held during the day on the, remains, and a verdict in accord ance with the circumstances, of " Accidentally drowned," was brought in by the jury. There is one universal and widespread feeling of regret at his death. He was heir to, and, but for his sad and untimely fate, would have in herited, on his father's death, who still survives him, the vast estates of the family, which bring in a rental of nearly £lO,OOO a year, and which must now pass to another branch.—Freeman. MECHANICS' FINE LADIES.—Very different in texture altogether is the physical humanity of the small-handed woman opposite, dressed in a shabby gown, with a soiled flaunting bonnet, and a torn shawl A many colours, who evidently thinks that nerves and idleness are three parts of the essence of gentlehood, and that she can make herself "a lady" by ceasing to be a woman and be coming a doll. Her husband is a rough-mannered, rough handed mechanic, making perhaps forty shillings a week or so, more or less ; and he, too, shares in the delusion that work is "low" for a woman, and that idleness is a refine ment, and a thing to be cultivated by the ambitious. It is his pride to boast that "his wife is kept like a lady, with a servant of her own—and needn't do a hand's turn if she don't like." So he puts her in a "nice little home" at Camberwell, with a best parlour and a black horse. hair sofa, quite comfor;;able ; and there she lords it in state over a miserable little elf, a parish apprentice, small enough to be carried like a lapdog in the pocket. But the elf does all the dirty work, and the rough and the hard work toe, that my lady the mechanic's wife, may not soil her hands, or make them " hard like a common woman's." She is one of a kind I see a great deal of, and that I can never sufficiently deplore ; for they seem to me to be cutting at the root of all that is most wholesome in the English ar tisan class, its simple strong hold on realities ; and that while the men of that class are so wonderfully improving, the women are just as much deteriorating by their terrible spring of fine-ladyisrn and finery. Look at the envious glances which our lady of Camberwell is casting at those two pretty young creatures in bright blue Bike, so carefully tucked up over their knees, evidently off to a friendly party somewhere. You; can see that they are ladies, even if papa's income makes it necessary for them to peril their best dresses in an omnibus, rather than spend a few shillings In a cab. That they are happy and innocent, and inneently happy in their present finery, is also evident ; and yet both these girls would do real good hard work if need be ; and, indeed, do so ; helping their one servant, Jane, as much from kindness that she should not be over worked, as from mamma's desire, and their own, to make things look nice."—Dickens' "All the Year Round."

Chatham, made a tour of inspection of the batteries, forts, and other works erected by the Royal Engineers, in order to make the necessary arrangements for the grand review and siege operations which will shortly be carried out at Chatham in the presence of the Prince of Wales and other distin guished visitors, and in which the entire force of the garri , son, together with the Royal Sappers and Miners, will take part. The operations will include an attack on the gar,i son from the river, in which the Royal Marines will take part, assisted by a portion of the Royal Engineers with their pontoon trains. The magazines, mines, stockades , and saps constructed by the Royal Engineers last sea2on have undergone the requisite repairs, and the batteries are being mounted with siege guns. The torpedoes to be placed in the river, as well as the char;es for destroying the stockades and blowing up the mines, are in course of preparation at the Rr,yal Erlzineer laboratory, and, the whole of the troops who can be spared for that duty LTJ daily employed in escalading and practising the other opera tions in which they will be engaged on the occasion of the review taking place. Naval and Military Inte With the view of prevenqng the overemwding of th 3 barrack rcoms at Chatham garrison d ur i ng the 'summer months, Major-Gen. Eyre has issued orders for the number of men in each of the barrack rooms to be reduced accord ing to the size of the rooms, by which arrangement 12 men will in future occupy the space formerly apportioned to 1S men in the large rooms, and 9 men the space formerly de voted to 12 men in the smaller rooms. Major-Gen. Lefroy, R A,, Capt. L. Heath, C. 8,, the President and Vice-President of the Ordnance Select Committee, with various members of the committee, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from London. They went on board her Majesty's ships Excellent and Royal Sove reign, over which they were conducted by Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8,, the officer commanding her Majesty's ship Excellent. The various methods of mounting and sighting guns of different calibres on board broadside and turret-gun ships were explained by Capt. Key, on board the Royal Sovereign, assisted by Capt. Cowper P. Coles, R.N. The Committee, on.leaving the Royal Sovereign,embarked in the galley of Capt. IL Caldwell, C.B, (the officer in command of the steam reserve at Portsmouth), and visited some of the ships afloat. It is presumed that the visit of the Caam• mittee to Portsmouth relates to the future armament of the navy, whatever class of vessels it may consist of, turrets or broadsides, or both combined—but, if so, they cannot have been greatly enlightened at the conclusion of their day's labour, inasmuch as but one of the members was a naval officer, and to purely military men the Royal Sovereign, in her present incomplete state, must be at first sight an em barrassing mystery. Some time since half-a-dozen Enfield rifles, fitted at the breech with the Mont Storm breech-loading apparatus, were forwarded by Government order to her Majesty's ship Ex cellent at Portsmouth, in order to have the principle thoroughly tested and its suitability for service in the navy reported upon by Capt. Astley Cooper Key, C. 8., of the Royal Naval College and her Majesty's ship Excellent. We understand that the trials of these weapons on board the Excellent have proved most satisfactory, and that they fur nish sound reasons for believing that by the adaptation of the Mont Storm breech to our present Enfields our soldiers and seamen may have a breech-loading rifle as simple, safe, and efficient as can be wished for general service, The Aurora, screw frigate, Capt. Sir Leopold M'Clintock, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the Non, and on anchor.. ing exchanged the customary salutes with the flagship of the Commander in Chief, Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B. The Aurora will embark part of the 60th Rifles for conveyance to Kingstown. The Gladiator, 6, paddle, Capt. F. H. Shortt, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Devonport, and took up a berth alongside the dockyard. She will embark a portion of the 60th Rifles for Kingstown on the same day as the Aurora. The Adder, paddle steamvessel, tender to the Wellesley, at Chatham, was taken into dock at Sheerness yesterday to undergo thorough repairs, which, it is expected, will oc cupy several weeks in completion. The Dauntless, 31, screw steamship, 1,575 tons, 530 -horse power, late Coastguard vessel in Southampton Water, and now being refitted in the basin, Sheerness Dockyard, as Coastguard vessel in the Humber, Capt. James N. Strange, will shortly be out of the hands of the dockyard artisans, when she will be taken on trial to the measured mile, and if the trial prove successful she will then proceed to her destination. The Terrible, 21, paddlewheel steam frigate, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, in No. 2 dock, Sheerness, has a largo number of workmen at present employed upon her, and it is expected that their labours will soon be completed, She will then leave the dock and be taken to her moorings in the harbour. A private letter received at Portsmouth from her Ma jesty's ehip Euryalus, dated at Yokohama, Japan, April 1, says:-- " We have now, unfortunately, 42 cases of smallpox on board, but not of a very serious nature, generally speaking. There are very few now in the ship that left England in her; only six of the latter class remain in the wardroom. Parker, our master, was the last officer invalided. Every thing is going on quietly here, but there is very little trade doing between the Japanese and Europeans," The following appointments have been made at the Ad miralty :—Commander the Hon. Maurice H. Nelson to the Rinaldo, vice Dunlop, invalided ; Lieut. Henry Golden to the Wellesley; Lieut. George V. Philipps to the Princess Charlotte; John A. H. Petch, master, to the Leander; George J. Tomlin, acting master, to the Shearwater ; Charles D. Shephard, surgeon, the Immortalite ; William Nicholson, surgeon, to the Aboukir; Dr. George E. Wright, acting assist-surgeon, to the Black Prince ; and Charles Beal, chief engineer, additional, to the Asia for the Arrogant. Tremendous Conflagration at Lambeth. Last evening the inhabitants of Lambeth, near the Arch bishop of Canterbury's palace and Hodges' distillery, were thrown into a state of excitement, owing to the outbreak of a fire of no small magnitude in the extensive range of pre mises belonging to Messrs. Ogleby and Co., the well-known i wax bleachers and patent candle manuf a cturers, situate n Paradise-street, Lambeth. The property in question, as most of the public are aware, covers an immense space of ground, and comprises sundry erections, some of brick and timber, others of cor rugated iron and glass, whilst the open yard serves the purposes of a wharf or general depot. Each building con tained many tons of fat, oil, spermaceti, and other equally inflammable articles, such as are calculated to spread (Es• may, which was the case last evening, upon the sudden outbreak of a fire in such an extensive range of buildings as stood upon the ground. To add to the excitement which prevailed upon the alarm being raised, it is necessary to state that Messrs. Hedges' distillery is within. a few yards i of the factory, and a great num b er of small houses inter vened between the distill ery and the blazing property, in Norfolkr-ppleaocpelane, daNraoriftolkw-arsowd. Th ese stressinhg to houses wore e h ow tenantedthey by hurled their furniture into the street to avoid the ravages of the flames, From inquiries made, it appears that Mr. Myers, the manager of the works, left the premises at 5 o'clock, when the factory appeared perfectly safe from fire, but in less two _aodre. vesenhrgaladetaasno,tdi,oß;M:rbianellr:tnetshn:Pßse.. than an hour afterwards some one cried out that the pressing rooms of the factory were in flames, Such, unfortunately, turned out to be correct, and in less than 5 minutes subse quently immense bodies of flame rolled from that part of the factory, and huge sheets of smoke nearly obscured from the public eye the Archbishop's palace.

The firemen, under the direction of their superior officers; upon seeing the danger that existed of the flames lapping over and seizing upon the distillery, laboured incessantly, as did also M r D eeley, from Burnett's distillery.r.r : Eventually, abo ut 9 o ' clock, all danger of any further extension of mi sc hi ef was over ; but the damage done to Messrs Ogleby an d Co 's remises is very serious. It is gratifying t o state, however, that instead of the whole of their hands —as is gener a lly the case when a catastrophe p occurs in large establishments —being thrown out of em ployment, the business of the firm will be carried on as heretofore. The damage done, large as the fire was, may be described as follows :—The boiling houses and pressing rooms destroyed, and various other portions of the factory damaged by fire and water. The origin of the fire is un known, The firm was insured in the Phoenix, the Royal, the Germs!, the Hand in Hand, the Imp er i a l , an d the West of England Fire-offices. Messrs C. and 11. White, of the County Fire-office, with Mr Superintendent Webb, and Inspectors Heath, Edmunds, and Byron, mndered es sential aid to the firemen by keeping an immense crowd of spectators out of danger, and with the help of the workmen in removing sundry casks of fatty matter out. of the reach of the flames.
