She left Sheerness on Saturday last, at 6.30 a.m., under easy steam ; at 730, full steam power was set on with a 20-lb pressure, the engines at the time making 50 revolutions per minute, the engines working very well ; at 8 a.m. it was found necessary to stop on account of thick weather, and she was compelled to anchor near the Mouse light-vessel. At this time it blew very hard from north-north-east, and she remained at anchor until the following day, when she weighed at 10 a.m., and proceeded with full steam against a strong, head wind, the engines working admirably in every re spect. She ran the distance from the Mouse in five hours and 10 minutes, against a very strong wind ; average steam pressure 141 b., revolutions 48 per minute ; vacuum in condensers 25 inches; stroke of piston 3 feet; diameter of cylinder 64 inches ; screw propeller, with two blades, variable pitch, from 20 to 22 feet diameter, of ditto 17 feet ; load draught on leaving Sheerness, with masts, rigging, guns, shot, shell, powder, pro visions and water, engines, boilers, coals, and water in boilers, above 1,800 tons, including stores of every description • draft aft 26 feet 5 inches ; and forward 24 feet 11 inches. She steers remarkably well. 100 fine smart disciplined A. B.s have been put on board from the Centaur, now lying In the Downs, and just returned from the south-east coast of America. The engines fitted in the Majestic occupy very little space, thereby giving considerable more room for stowage and ac commodation, and they have proved to be substan tially put together, combining compactness with light weight—two great considerations in marine engines. The Simoom, 18, screw steam frigate, Captain Smith, has been completed with much expedition by the ship wright department of Portsmouth dockyard, and will be ready for further troop service in a few days, which is much sooner than was expected. The engineer staff of the establishment are now employed upon hermost vigo rously. The remaining detachment of the Bth Hussars left the Topsham Barracks, Exeter, en route for Plymouth, yes terday morning. The band of the 3d Dragoons accom panied them through the streets of the city and played several military airs. Most of the soldiers carried branches of laurel in their hands, and cheered heartily in reply to the acclamations of the people who lined the way. The men seemed in excellent spirits. Some of the officers of the 3d Dragoons accompanied them a short distance out of the city. Orders were aeceived yesterday morning by the Ports mouth dockyard authorities to prepare slings, hammocks, &c., for the embarkation there of the 13th Light Dra goons, who are to embark at Portsmouth for Turkey about the 4th proximo. The troop frigate (screw) Megnra, Commander J. 0. Johnson, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning at 11, and Spithead in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, with 350 of the 38th Foot for Constantinople. The head-quar ters of the regiment embarked in the Melbourne, at Chatham, on the 25th. DEATH 0 THE BRITISH EXPEDITION. We learn by our correspondence from Malta of the 19th that the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw frigate Himalaya arrived there on the night of the 18th inst., in three days from Constantinople, being the most rapid passage on record. The Himalaya, which left Malta at 7 p.m. on the 10th inst., with the 33d and 41st Regiments on board, in number 1,850 souls, reached Gallipoli on the 13th at noon. Soon afterwards the Emeu arrived with the 4th Regiment, and in the course of the day the Cambria and Indus. Brigadier-General Adams immediately landed, and visited General Sir George Brown, who ac companied him back to the ship, to which orders were conveyed to proceed to Constantinople. Having re ceived on board Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster- General Captain the Hon. A. Hardinge, Coldstream Guards, and 24 women of the 33d and 41st Regiments, the Himalaya left in consequence at 10 p.m. of the same day. In the Sea of Marmora she encountered very severe weather, accompanied by heavy snow showers. At 11 a.m. of the 14th she anchored at Constantinople. On that day it blew a gale of wind, and the thermometer went down to 38 degs. General Adams proceeded at once to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and shortly after returned with orders to cross over to Scutari and dis embark the troops. Early on the morning of the 15th the Himalaya went across and anchored close in to the shore. At 9 a.m. the disembarkation commenced with the 41st Regiment by means of a small steamer and large boats. The arrangements made by the officers of the commissariat department (Assistant -Commissary - Generals Smith and Strickland, with their staff) were excellent, and by 3 p.m. all _the troops and baggage and most of the stores were landed and housed in com fortable barracks, capable of containing from 8,000 to 10,000 men. By 6 p.m. the horses were landed, and the officers of the two regiments having returned to take their last dinner on board, shortly after took their leave of the captain, to whom they expressed themselves in the warmest terms for the comforts they had enjoyed, and the liberal manner in which they had been en tertained. The weather was intensely cold, and the troops under canvas at Gallipoli, and in the vicinity, are said to be suffering severely from the inclemency of the weather. There are there, or in the neighbourhood encamped 20,000 French and 5,000 British soldiers. Brigadier Tylden, R.E., is reported sick at Therapia ; Major Dickson ' R.A., with Lieutenant Burke, R.E., and Lieutenant Wellesley, Coldstream Guards, had just re turned from a tour in Bulgaria. They saw Omer Pasha at Shumla, and passed the Balkan. While proceeding along the banks of the Danube, they were frequently fired upon by the Russians at their outposts with Minie rifles. Lieutenant Burke was nearly hit on one occasion. Deputy Inspector of Hospitals Linton, with another medical officer, is on a tour in Bulgaria and Roumelia. On Monday night, off 'Lea,, the Himalaya passed the Niagara, with troops, bound upwards and at Gallipoli a man-of-war steamer, with troops, was seen, which is believed to have been the Cyclops. The troops to remain at Gallipoli, under command of General Sir George Brown, are the 4th, 28th, 44th, 50th, and Rifle Brigade. All the remainder are to leave for Scutari. On the 21st, from Malta, we learn that the three bat talions of the Guards, after having waited the arrival of the Caradoc from Marseilles, with Lord Raglan, were ordered to embark—the Grenadiers in the Golden Fleece. the Coldstream Guards in the Vulcan, and the Scots Fusiliers in the Kangaroo, an order which was carried out with the utmost regularity. At an early hour on the 22d the Golden Fleece and Vulcan put to sea ; the Kangaroo followed some time after. As the vessels moved out, the adieus of the troops left behind were given in the most enthusiastic manner. From want of room in the ships to convey the whole of the men, some few were left behind to proceed by the first opportunity ; these amount to not more than 70. Their immediate destination is Gallipoli, on reach ing which place they are to be under the temporary orders of Sir George Brown, who, it is expected, will send them on to Scutari, without allowing them NOTICE.

On Tuesday the two divisions of the 14th Regiment, numbering 325 men each, left Merchant's-quay in the Prince Arthur, for Queenstown—the first embarked at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the second at 12. They were accompanied to the, quay on both occasions by the band of the regiment , which played animated and ap propriate airs. The people, who were assembled in vast numbers to witness their departure, cheered them loudly as they left, and showed other marks of enthusiasm by showering in on them an immense supply of oranges. At 3 o'clock 168 men of the 89th Regiment and 16 women sailed under the command of Major Barlow, in the Royal Alice. Both regiments are to embark in the transport Bombay; bound for Malta, whence they will proceed to the seat of war. The newly built 30-gun screw-frigate, Curacoa arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Pembroke under jury rig, and has gone into Portsmouth harbour, to be equipped for commission with all possible despatch. She is a remarkably handsome ship. On Saturday the head-quarters division, band and colours, of the 17th Regiment (Leicestershire), under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Philip M‘Pherson, arrived from Templemore, to await transports, daily expected, for their conveyance to Malta. The depot of the 47th Regiment, from Birr, replaces the 17th Regiment at Templemore. The depot of the 62d (Wiltshire) Regiment, stationed at Fermoy, under command of Major William Mathias, has received orders to proceed to Cork and await trans ports for Malta, to join the service companies. The 63d (West Suffolk) Regiment, under command of Lieut.-Colonel E. S. T. Swyny, is expected to arrive from Dublin in a few days, to be stationed in Cork Barracks. The 46th, at Kilkenny, have received orders to embark forthwith for Liverpool. Although the depot of the 13th Regiment has been but a few months stationed in Clonmel, between 100 and 200 recruits have been enlisted. In fact, the depot consists almost entirely of young hands.

The vessels that had arrived at Malta within the few days preceding the 22d were the Niagara, with the 88th Regiment ; the Trent, with the 23d Fusileers ; the Orinoco, with the 7th Fusileers ; the Tonn in g , with the staff of General Sir Colin Campbell ; the City of Lon don, with Brigadier-General Sir De Lacy Evans, and his staff ; the Medway, with the 95th Regiment ; the Emperor with the staff of Lord Raglan, Sir Robert Eng land, Brigadier-General Cator, and part of the 19th Regiment. Besides these, the French had increased their contingent by two fine bodies of cavalry and horse artillery. All the vessels except the Tonning arrived without accident ; she, however, suffered some damage to her paddle-wheels ; her floats had been taken off, and she was towed by the Trent to her destination. No delay had, therefore, been incurred. On the afternoon of the 20th, by the French steam corvette Roland, from Toulon, arrived his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon, accompanied by a brilliant staff, among whom were Colonels Desmarets, Braniski, and Roman, General Prim, and his Excellency Salih Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador. Signor Dulong, celebrated artist, accompanied his Imperial Highness. At five o'clock the Prince landed at the Customhouse, and was received by his Excellency the Governor, in full uniform, wearing his hard-earned medals. A guard of honour, supplied by the Buffs, received his Imperial Highness, who, having entered the Governor's carriage, proceeded to inspect the fortifications, and did not reach the Palace till after six o'clock, where was another guard of honour, supplied by the 68th Light Infantry. After remaining a few minutes at the Palace, the Prince, at tended by his Excellency the Governor and his staff, visited the splendid church of St. John. On his return he dined with his Excellency, and at 10 o'clock ho noured. the Opera with his presence. He retired at the end of the third act, and on leaving was vociferously cheered by the crowd that had assembled. The Prince and his suite embarked at midnight for the East. On his arrival two Royal salutes were fired —one from Fort St. Angelo, and one of the flag-ship. The Cyclops, towing in the Vesuvius from Gallipoli, arrived on the morning of the 22d. The Caradoc had not been telegraphed from Mar seilles. The Valetta, with part of the India mail sent through France, had just arrived. Another letter announces the forts of Odessa to have fired on a flag of truce, carried by Lieutenant Alexander, of the Furious. On a report made to Admiral Dundas, and on his resolution being known to weigh for Odessa, the ships manned yards and three hearty cheers were raised. It is resolved to destroy all the forts on the Circassian coast. THE BEST FIT WEARS BEST.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE ROYAL AL BERT, 131, SCREW STEAM-SHIP.—The Royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht has been ordered round from Portsmouth to Woolwich for the accommodation of the Queen and the Royal Family on the occasion of the launch of the Royal Albert screw steam-ship, on the 13th of May next, at one o'clock p.m. The Royal Vic toria and Albert steam-yacht will be moored alongside the wharf wall on the north-west side of the slip on which the Royal Albert has been built, and immediately adjoining the new factory storehouse, where a large space has been partitioned off into two receiving rooms for the express use of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family and suite. Mr. Wakeling, the Admiralty upholsterer, has received instructions to prepare the rooms in the finezt, style for her Majesty's reception ; and should the weather prove favourable on the day of the launch, the scene will be of the grandest description. Tickets will be issued to the number of upwards of 5,000 for ladies, exclusively of the nobility and gentry, who will be accommodated with seats in the booths on the sides of the vessel. Those having tickets will be admitted at the gates so early as ten o'clock, and the factory gate will be open exclusively for those entering in carriages. The public will be admitted at half-past eleven a.m., which will give ample time to select their positions before the launch takes place at one o'clock. STOCKHOLM, April 20. On the evening of the 18th instant, it was officially communicated from the Foreign Office here, in consequence of an official communication from the British mission, that Sir Charles Napier, with the fleet under his command, had sailed from Kioge Bay to make the necessary arrangements for a strict blockade of the Russian Baltic ports, as also of the whole of the coasts of the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia.

CKBURN. (From, the Caledonian - Mercury of yesterday.) Another of our men of mark, whose names and cha racters were the distinction and the pride of Scotlana, has passed away. It is our melancholy task to announce that Henry Cockburn—for by that name Lord Cockburn will be proudly and affectionately remembered—died at Bonaly, near Edinburgh, yesterday morning. He opened the Circ u it C our t a t Ayr on Tuesday, the 18th of this month. Being rather indisposed, he was relieved by Lord Ivory of the arduous duty of presiding at the trial for murder, which occupied nearly two days ; but, after the conviction, the sentence of death was pro nounced by Lord Cockburn. It was the last judicial act which he performed ; and none who heard him will ever forget it. Brief, gentle, simple, solemn, it was an exquisite specimen of the pathetic eloquence in which he was unrivalled. Many eyes filled with tears as the touching tones of that matchless voice fell on the listen ing ears of a crowded audience, when he urged—not harshly but kindly, the unhappy man whom he ad dressed, to use aright the few fleeting days between him and eternity, and make his peace with God through Jesus Christ. Ere one short week has passed, the judge, who pronounced the sentence, and urged the use of time's swift-winged hours, has anticipated the man whom he condemned, and has been summoned from the judgment seatoneasrotlhemton, a appear at be lost event so as follows :—Taylor lied saved a little money, and signs. ally became anxious to possess land and abolish rent, ash() had previously abolished the malt tax. lie found eut that the laud for which he gay:a five shillings a-yard, the vendor had only given about fivepence, the difference being caused by the simple fact that he (Taylor) bought a pprtion, while the vendor had purchased the whole of the estate. The result of this knowledge was the present free hold movement. This society offered to every man, how ever humble, the means of possessing a freehold that he could leave to his children, and they could leave to their children. Nothing could afford a more secure or profitable investment; And in a few words he would prove that asser tion. They were more. secure than savings' banks ; people were beginnin to find that they were not safe as they imagined. Mr. Cobden had. said nothing could be so secure as land, as it could not sun away. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Smith) had heard of people swallowing it, but he had never heard of an sere of land running away from England to Australia. (Laughter.) To prove that it was in the power of every one to possess land, he knew of labouring men earn• ing only between seven and eight shillings a-week, who were not only the owners of the land, but they would soon begin to build their own houses on that land. If working men would only begin to save their shillings and sixpences at the year's end—they would be astonished with what they had done, and the way to save money was to " begin at once." (Cheers.) With regard to freehold land societies being profitable investments, he happened to know that on one of the estates of this society, situate at Anerley, a member had paid only 31., and he had been offered 501. premium for the right he possessed. Now, if anything could be more profitable than that, he should feel obliged for the information. (Cheers.) Any person wishing to dispose of his right could do so, as a book for the registry of right for sale was kept open for him at the office. There was no responsibility attached to joining a freehold land society, and should the member wish to withdraw the money he had lodged, he could do so on giving a few days' notice, and receive at the same time 5 per cent. interest. (Cheers.) To show the success that the society had met with from the public, he would mention that since its foundation, in August last, they had issued between three and four thousand shares. After explaining the three modes of acquiring land in this society, viz., paid-up shares, seniority, and the ballot, Mr. Smith then said he should feel a pleasure in answering the questions of any gentleman, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause. Various questions having been asked, and satisfactorily answered, The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. on us. It is not now, in the first fresh grief of such a bereave ment, that we can even attempt to pourtray the cha racter and genius of Lord Cockburn. The last, or nearly the last, survivor of that brilliant group of Whig barristers who so signally adorned the legal profession and the political history of Scotland — the sharer of the friendship, the principles, and the la bours of Horner, Jeffrey, Moncreiff, Murray, and Ful lerton—he was, from early youth , in des p ite of family connections and opposing influences, the ardent, unflinch ing, yet temperate and judicious, friend of civil and re• ligious liberty, and of those liberal principles of which he lived to see the triumph, and hear the universal recogni tion. In the earlier period of the struggle none could escape hostility ; but for many long years he had surrounded himself with friends of all parties ; and of him it may be said, as of Professor Wilson, that every political differ ence had long been forgotten in generous admiration and regard. As a pleader, especially in criminal causes or jury trials, we shall never again see the equal of Mr. Cockburn. Jeffrey alone, and that only on some occa sions, approached him. His sagacity, his brevity, his marvellous power of expression—so homely, yet so truly and touchingly eloquent, his mingled pathos and humour, his winning Scottish manner, his masterly analysis of evidence, and the intense earnestness, not the less effec tive that it was visibly chastened and restrained, with which he identified himself with his client, made his appeals to Scottish juries always powerful and frequently resistless. As a judge, lie was distinguished by his skilful detec tion of falsehood in principle or in evidence, by breadth and distinctiveness of view, not unfrequently receiving the confirmation of the House of Lords on appeal, by his graceful and luminous exposition, by purity and im partiality of character, and by uniform affability and courtesy of demeanour. As a citizen, his name is associated with everything which adorns the metropolis of Scotland, for in his sound sense, good taste, and universal popularity, his fellosv-citizens were wont to seek and find a safe guide in civic improvement and a sure guarantee of public favour. .1.1 ER MAJESTY'S D.RAPPING-BOOM. The Queen held_ a._ drawing-room--(the sneeandthialieV son) yesterday afternoon in„St., James's Palace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived from "Waring.' - ham Palace at two o'clock, escorted by a detachment of the Life Guards, and were received by the Great Officers of State. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary were present at the drawing room, and were attended by Major Baron Knesbeck. Their royal highnesses were re• ceived by the Vice-Chamberlain. Her Majesty's Guard of the Hon. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms was on duty in the state saloons, under the command of the Lieutenant. The Sub-Officers Lieut.- Col. Nevill, and Major Cooke, were on duty with the corp. The Queen and Prince entered the throne room, at tended by the Mistress of the Robes, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Ladies of the Bedchamber, the Countess of Charlemont (in waiting), the Duchess of Wellington, the Countess of Desart, the Viscountess Canniig, and I the Viscountess Jocelyn ; the Maids of Honour the Hon.

George Gordon Macpherson and Charles Edmund Phipps. Her Majesty wore a train of lilac and silver moire antique silk, trimmed with white tulle and silver stars. The petticoat was white crape with two flounces, and was trimmed with silver, and silver and crape ribands. The Queen's head-dress was a diadem of emeralds and diamonds, and feathers. The Foreign Ministers were introduced, when the following presentations to her Majesty took place in the diplomatic circle. By the French Ambassadress—Madame d'Oxholme, wife of the Danish Minister at this court. Mrs. Thomas, wife of General J. A. Thomas, of New York, United States commissioner. By the Greek Minister—Mons. Charilaus Tricoupi, son of the Minister and attaché to the Greek Legation. By the Austrian Minister—Le Comte de Wimpffen, Enscigne de Vaisseau au service de S. M. I. et R. Prince Gholam Mahumed and Prince Feroae Shah were present at the drawing-room, and were presented to the Queen by Sir Charles Wood, President of the Board of Control for the Affairs of India. The following ladies had the honour of being presented to her Majesty : Mrs. Leycester Adolphus, by Lady Trevelyan. Miss Mary Annesley, by her mother, the Hon. Mrs. George Devereux.

Within the smaller circle of friends and relatives, on whom this bereavement falls s• heavily, we dare not intrude. Theirs is a grief with. which a stranger inter meddleth not. How kind he was, how genial, and how charming,—and how happy lie made all who knew him, as, in the lovely home which it was his pride and plea sure to adorn, he gathered his friends round his hospit able board, and entertained them with stores of anec dote, and flashes of wit, we need not say. None who have visited Bonaly can lose the recollection of their host. Lord Cockburn, who was, we believe, 75 years of age, has left a large family, and is survived by Mrs. Cock burn, sister of Mrs. Maitland, now the widow of Lord Dundrennan, and of Mrs. Fullerton, now the widow of Lord Fullerton—the three sisters having married three young advocates, who maintained through life the closest friendship, and all died Judges of the Supreme Court of Scotland. In his last short illness Lord Cockburn was attended, as on previous occasions, by Dr. Patrick Newbigging, an old and attached friend of the family, and also, we understand, by Dr. Christison ; but his hour was come, medical aid was vain, and he breathed his last surrounded by all of his family who were in Scotland. His eldest son, Dr. Archibald Cockburn, was expected down from London yesterday. The biography of Jeffrey is closed by words which may not inaptly be applied to him who wrote them : "As soon as it was known that he was gone, the emi nence of his talents, the great objects to which they had been devoted, his elevation by gradual triumph over many prejudices to the highest stations, even the abun dance of his virtues, were all forgotten in the personal love of the man." ; 4 \ FREE CIETY.H TRADE FREEHOLD LAND Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of Kingston and its vicinity was held at the Lecture-hall, for the pur pose of receiving a deputation of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society, and also to hear a statement of its plans and operations. Among the gentlemen on the platform we ob served Sir H. Winston Barron, Bart., chairman of the society ; Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq. ; Captain John Bishop-Culpeper ; Major William Clarke Francis Vigers ; Edmund Grattan, Esq. ; S. P. Hook, Esq. ; T. S. Smith, Esq. John Dawson, Esq. • -- East, Esq., president of the Mechanics' Institute, Esq. On the motion of Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq., seconded by Captain John Bishop-Culpeper, the chair was taken by Sir H. W. BARRON, Bart., who, in opening the proceed ings of the evening, said it afforded him great pleasure in presiding over th meeting. The society, as most of the gentlemen present were aware, possessed a very beautiful estate at Surbiton, and the success of the purchase of that estate bade fair to surpass that just allotted at Auerley. That estate had not been long—barely a month—in the market, and now there was not a single lot to dis pose of. The Surbiton estate, as was well known to most present, was very advantageously situated. It was close to the railway station, which of itself was one very great advantage. It was building land of the best description, and he had not the slightst doubt but that the selection would meet with the approbation of all those who wished to possess a site in the neighbourhood. To such his advice was, look to it at once, for, as in the case above mentioned, so, he felt assured, would be the case with this. It surely would not be required of him to dilate at any length at this time on the benefits to be derived from freehold land societies ; indeed, it would be a work of supererogation for him to do so, as he felt convinced that all present knew and appreciated their benefits. Freehold land societies gave to the man of moderate means the opportunity of purchasing land to build his house upon. It also conferred upon him the right to vote ; and this alone was looked upon with pride, however high or low might be the estate of the possessor of that right in the country. (Cheers.) Another of the objects of the society was the offer of land in this locality at two-thirds the price asked by the landowners ; and with this immense ad vantage that the Free Trade Freehold Lan d Societ y gave a freehold. ' (Cheers) With the political principles of the shareholders, the society did not in the slightest manner interfere ; it did not ask whether they were Conservatives or Radicals, but, as far as the society was concerned, the shareholders were free. (Cheers.) With respect to the quarterage charged by some freehold land societies, it had been found burdensome and irksome, and the directors had resolved to abolish it. (Cheers.) With these few ob• servations he would call upon Mr. Vigers to address them. Mr. VIGERS said that freehold land societies, in many instances, purchased two descriptions of land—T.'aio.erti cultural and building land, but t he directors of o intend to devote themselve s to the purchase lbsusilocdinyg land entirely. One description of laud in ordinary times, was as good as the other ; but that, as 'he had said before, was a question of time. In the pre nt day, surveyors s districts would could not say how soon land in agricultural become building land. The Subiton Hill estate was not a large one ; it comprised throe acres and it was divided into 29 lots. The roads were made, the drains were laid down—in fact, it was a piece of laud of. the most desirable descrip tion. It was clo se to the rai l a w t ay ss s . t a a n ti d on is. an a d fo la o n t. d r w ri as ie society had purchased letting in the neighbourhoodasedtnel an d at such a price th a t th ey ena bled to offer it to their members at from 3s. 6d. t o ' s v s e , re not a leasehold , but the fee simple and conve y ance wer e both . included in that sum. Now, if any one was to go to the landlord and purchase a similar piece of land as that to be obtained through this society, he would have to pay from 201. to 30/. for the conveyance. Mr. Vigera then gave a very succinct account of the advantages to be derived from the purchase of laud, and stated the advantages were greatly in favour of disposing of freehold in preference to leasehold land. With respect to the plans of the estate, it would afford him very great pleasure to answer any questions re specting them. Major CLARKE then came forward and bristly moved the following resolution, viz.—" That the principles on which the Free Trade Freehold L an d Society is conducted—its freedom from political bias—entitles it to the confidence of this meeting ; and its possession dia very desirable estate on Surbiton Hill, for distribution among its shareholders, presents a favourabl e o pp or t un it y f or a ll i n t ere sted in this district to secure participation in the advantages it affords" (Ch eers .) THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, Esq., in seconding the re solution, said he had not the slightest doubt but that it would meet with the approbation of the meeting. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN Gentlemen, the resolution having been moved by Major Clarke, and seconded by T. C. Grat tan, Esq., it is now my duty to put it to the meeting for its adoption. The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said he would now, with the permission of the meeting, call upon Mr. Smith to address a few obser vations to them. Mr. SMITH said he felt great pleasure in addressin g the present meeting, composed as it was mostly of the indus trious classes, for it was by one of that class that freehold land societies were first established. The success that had attended their first establishment was wonderful, and a revolution had been wrought, both morally, socially , and politically, that the country never e,xpected.

Hammond, consular agent of France at Deal, paid au official visit to Admiral Parseval-Deschenes on board L'lnflexible, and on their leaving were saluted with the customary number of guns. ARRIVAL OF PRUSSIAN MEN OF WAR. PORTSMOUTH, April 27.—A Prussian frigate, the Gefion, 43 guns, bearing the flag of Commodore Schroe der, and the Mercur, six guns, Captain Kuhn, arrived at Spithead this morning from Constantinople, bound to the Baltic, Dantzic being their destination. The frigate remained outside the port, and communicated with the vi ce-consul at this port, Mr. A. L. Vanderburgh, and on receiving from him information of the state of affairs immediately proceeded on her voyage. The Mercur, however, came to anchor and saluted the flag of the na tion, and that of the Commander-in-Chief, the first be ing returned by the garrison, and the latter by the flag ship, Victory. The Mercur has sailed after her consort. Commodore Schroeder sent despatches ashore for the Prussian Ambassador. A remarkable circumstance in connection with the present aspect of the relations between England and Prussia has occurred in consequence of the arrival of the above-named ships. They have landed seven Prussian naval officers, for service on board English men-of-war, to enable them to gain a practical knowledge of the ser vice, and qualify them for duty on board men-of-war of their own nation. This interchange of kindly actions does not look like any immediate rupture between the two countries ; but it is not forgotten that similar cour tesy was displayed towards Russia just prior to the breaking out of war with her, when two Russian men-of war had given to them in this dockyard a thorough re pair, the docks they occupied being actua ll y required for our own ships. The Prussian officers themselves are very intelligent and courteous gentlemen, and, as far as etiquette will allow them, display the greatest sympathy for the cause of the Western Powers. We believe they would not hesitate for a moment in joining our Baltic fleet were it permitted to them to act according. to their own regulations. The Gefion, in passing up Channel near the Lizard, was taken to he a Russian man - of -war, sailing under Prussian colours. The vessel that made this mistake was an English war steamer of six guns, carrying three masts. The latter bore down upon the supposed Rus sian, opening her ports and showing other hostile in dications. Commodore Schroeder from this concluded that war had been declared between England and Prussia, and opened his por ts, and prepared for ac tion. At the same time, he appears to have felt much surprise at a ship of six guns bearing down to engage one of 43. On more closely approaching, however, this English steamer appears to have discovered her error, and then retired from the anticipated contest. The Prussians concluded that the error arose from the simi larity of Russian and Prussian national colours, e to concealed d lit b tl y e the little difference b etween them being on the Gefion's colours han g ing loosely, owing wind at the time. The officers of the Gefion do not conceal their admiration of the pluck that incited a six gun ship to make an attack upon them. The name of the English steamer is not known. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, The Admiralty have decided that all prizes sent home from the Baltic shall proceed direct for London, and not (except under peculiar circumstances) be brought into the Medway in future. The Admirals commanding in the Baltic will have this notified to them in their general orders. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Joceline Percy has returned rom leave of absence, and again hoisted his flag on board the Waterloo, 120 guns, Captain Lord Frederick Kerr. The Portland, 50, Captain Chads, flag of Rear-Admi ral Moresby, C. 8., arrived off Portsmouth!yesterday morning, and was iinmedialely signalled to proceed to the Downs, without anchoring. She will there, it is supposed, transship her crew to the line-of-battle ships. The Penelope, 18, paddlewheel frigate, Captain Caffin, left Spithead yesterday morning for the Downs and the Baltic. The Centaur, 11, paddlewheel frigate, Captain Har vey, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to refit for a new commission. The Alecto, 6, paddlewheel sloop, Commander Crof ton, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to refit for a new commission. The Prussian corvette transport Mercur, Captain Kiihen, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Cadiz, and saluted the national flag and the Port Admi ral. She lEft Alexandria on the 10th ult., and Cadiz on the 9th inst. During her passage from Cadiz she had fine weather and easterly winds, and passed many Eng lish vessels on her way, by whom she was saluted. She ca me accompanied by the frigate Gefion, 46, and i s bound to the Baltic for Dantzic. She sailed at 1 p.m. 4 4 j for the westward. t:i. The Hannibal, 91, Captain the Hon. F. Grey, C. 8., ~ 8 is progressing fast in her equipment at Chatham. Her topmasts are pointed. A n umber of excellent merchant - seamen have joined her. She has entered few " blue - jackets," but it is expected that she will be ready to - leave for the Baltic in the early part of June. The Brisk, screw, 14, Commander Seymour, was placed in No. 1 dock at Portsmouth yesterday, for im mediate refit for the Baltic. - The Eurydice, 26, sailing frigate, Captain Ommanney, will be removed from dock to the fitting-basin at Ports mouth this morning. She is now complete in her rigging, and is shipping all stores necessary to complete her " for special service in the North Sea.' The Sealark, 8, Lieutenant Fenwick, training brig of the naval apprentices in the Victory, was despatched yesterday to cruise in the Channel, and see what she co uld pick up in the way of prizes. The Gladiator, 6, paddle -frigate, Captain Broke, is swinging in Portsmouth harbour, for the adjustment of --- her compasses. _ i 1 Orders have been received at Sheerness to prepare for taking the Nile, 91, screw stea,m-ship, Commodore Henry B.
