Not a day passes but tens of _ thousands - wonder as they pass by what grandeur, what state, what ease, what happiness there is within those walls ; and many of them, doubtless, contrast their own hum - - ble toils and cankering cares with the condition of the man who enjoys the revenue and the attendance of a potentate, with out a Parliament to meet, an army to employ, or a populace to shun. They speculate as the Abyssinian peasant in John son's story might have speculated "about the occupants of the Happy Valley, and the inexhaustible fund of haNp piness it contained. What is -known helps •to r a w° the range of that speculation. The Duke whose grandeur' is. veiled by the westernmost and newest of the screens we have mentioned has also a palace in the provinces, beyond compare for its magnificence, for the treasures it con tains, for the beauty of its situation and artificial grounds, and for the princely magnificence of its establishment. .Every thing about him is great. A steward of his became Speaker of the House of Commons, and a peer of the realm ; while his gardener has been knighted, and occupies a distinguished position- in' the world of art. A species of viceroy manages his Irish estates. The Duke has been Am'hassador at St. Petersburg, and has entertained at his country house the man who now menaces the peace of the world. .He has done every thing that is expensive and grand.

MINING INVESTMENT. —Parties seeking safe and profitable investments should turn their attention ' to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 per cent. upon the outlay, while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant geode for speculation, not alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise on account of the great enhancement in the value of the stock at tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32, Poultry, London, having correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a position early to advise his clients. Parties communicating will re ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend either dividend paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so doing. 32, Poultry, London, Jan., 1854. TRIESEMAR, protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole de Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. The long continuance of most Maladies arising front impurities, while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis • appointment, and to induce lowness of spirits, and other sensations of a most painful kind. The TRI ESEM AR effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, p ,ssess ing at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. It may lie on the toilet table without its use being suspected. Sold in tin cases at 115. each, free by post, 2s. extra, divided lute separate doses, as administered by Valpeau, Lallemand, Roux, &c.

The essential ob' eet of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from ca-tain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth. degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life. than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is particularly re ommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate eomplaints, and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. Their treatment has unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant ens- pirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed fcreign names • and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten sions. The serious cowequences resulting from such mal-practice may easily be avoid e d. if su ff erers f ro m these maladies were to ascef tain if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of Physicians, Surgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus 111 the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished. i At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight.

At two o'clock the open spaces about the Theatre and Convocation-house began to be filled with groups of Masters of Arts, resident and non-resident ; still the influx of out-voters was not so great as had -been expected, and the whole number of persons collected fell short of 400, This, number, however, was more than the Convocation house could accommo date, and the proceedings of the day were opened in the •Tlioatr4:l by the Vice-Chancellor declaring the cause of 64) - meeting,::ft-Athielk there was a. short delay. .durl4. which a - number of M a sters were admitted to 'their regency. The petition to the Queen was theta read by the registrar, and on the first clause being put to the vote, and a scrutiny demanded,. the Rev. J. E. T. Rogers, of Magdalen-hall, proceeded to address the house in a Latin speech, but little of which could be heard, owing to the impatience of the assembled voters, though the tone in which the speech was delivered was remarkably loud. When Mr. Rogers had concluded, the house was addressed successively by the Rev. C. Mar riott, of Oriel, and the Rev. G. Butler, of Exeter, but the in creasing impatience of the masters in the area rendered the speeches inaudible, except to those in the immediate vici nity of the speakers. At the conclusion of Mr. Butler's speech, a division was taken on the first and main clause of the petition—that in which the maintenance of the exist ing board of heads of houses was recommended, and the numbers appeared upon a scrutiny to be 212 in favour of the clause, and 161 against it. It was easy to see, by com paring the two bodies, as they stood apart in the theatre, that the mass of the residents were against the petition, but that their votes were overpowered by those of the non-residents. Subsequent divisions were taken on the later clauses of the petition; but, all interest in the mat ter being lost, numbers quitted the theatre on both sides, while others abstained from voting. The petitionwas thus carried without the rejection of any clause, though one (that which gives the election of the 15 masters to convocation generally) was only carried by a majority of three. At the close of the proceedings the following protest was signed by an important portion of the resident body, including a considerable majority of the tutors, and almost the entire staff at most of the mere influential Colleges. It is pro bable that more names will be added to-morrow, many other residents having, it is known, voted against the measure. Among these may be mentioned, Dr. Jenne, the Master of Pembroke • and Dr. Jacobson, the Regius Professor of Divinity. The number of resident Masters who voted for the measure is estimated at considerably above 100 ; on the other side it is believed that there were not more than 40 or 50.

LINENDRAPERS' SILK MERCERS', L AcniEN , s, HABER DASHERS', AND HOSIE RS' • hTBTITPTION.—The twenty second anniversary dinner in sic of the funds of this provident and charitable institution took place on Thursday, at the London Tavern, under the presi dency of the Lord Mayor, who was accompanied by Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Wire and Mr. Sheriff Wallis. The usual loyal and opening toasts having been given and duly honoured, the Lord Mayor, in proposing the toast of the evening, took occasion to insist upon the absolute necessity of the practice of provi dence and self-control in , order to enjoy a fair chance of success in life. In the prese nt inst i tution by appropriating a small sum to its use, a provision was made againstthose mischances and accidents to which all are liable, and which always fall heaviest on those who thought least about them. Every year furnished melancholy instances of persons engaged in the various trades, and possessing ample incomes, being sud denly ove r t a k en b y m i s f or t une and reduced to destitution, yet, looking to the report, he regretted to perceive that a support as general as might have been anticip a ted, had not been received by the instiution. While an increased number of applicants for pecuniary relief had come forward, it was the fact that more persons had discontinued their subscriptions than in any former year. During thelyear 1853 the sum of 3,1761. 12s. 7d. had been received from various sources, and 83 r applications for pecuniary relief had b een f avoura bly entertained, and a sum of 1,6871. 19s. id. distributed among them. His lordship concluded with an appeal of much warmth to those present 40 come forward in aid of the institution. The Secretary then read a long list of contributions, but we were unable to o bt a i n a state ment of the total, which amounted doubtless to a goodly sum. The healths of the Lord May or , p r oposed by the president of the institution, Mr. Pearce, of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and of the various officers of the charity, were then given and acknow ledged, and the proceedings terminated. TILBURY FORT (GRAVESEND) RAlLWAY.—Wednes day, March 8, has been definitively fixed for the open ing of this railway for passenger traffic. It is con nected with the Blackwall line, from the station of which, in Fenchurch-street, the trains will run. A pier of 300 feet in length has been constructed at the station, near the fort, for the embarking and disembarking of passengers. Steam ferries will carry them across the river to Gra'Velend Town-pier. `We believe that it is the intention of the Government to send over to Paris two officers of distinction, in order to come to an understanding with the military authori ties of France upon the details of the plan of operations to be pursued in the East. It was hoped that Lord Raglan himself might be able to undertake that import ant duty, but the pressure of business upon him, conse quent on his assuming the chief command of the British contingent, will prevent his doing so. yollow,ino• the course which was pursued in the for mAtion of the first division, the second will, we under stand, be made up of the regiments next on the roster for service abroad, and no departure will take place from the routine of the army under ordinary circumstances. This determination should be received with great satis faction not only by the public, but in military circles, as it shows the strong conviction at the Horse Guardsthat one corps can be as confidently intrusted as another with the maintenance of the national honour. Lord Raglan will not proceed to the Mediterranean until all the arrangements connected vhth the despatch of the troops under his command have been completed ; and before then it is expected that Sir John Enrgoyne, will have returned from Constantinople. Sir John's mission, it is understood, relates to the plan of opera tions to be pursued when the moment for activ6 partici pation in the war has arrived. The Government will naturally be desirous to secure to the latest period pos sible the benefit of Lord Raglan's advice and experience. He will therefore probably remain In England until the second division has been despatched, and then proceed to Malta, vies Marseilles. Colonel Aire) , also remains to the latest moment, assisting his successor, .Colonel Yorke, -in the discharge of the onerous duties of the Military Secretaryship. It is, we believe, intended that the first division shall leave Malta for its ultimate desti nation when the second division arrives there. It is not generallj , known that the Colonial Minister for the time being has the chief control and direction of military affairs in matters relating to service abroad, and that the authorities of the Horse Guards are, in all essential respects, subordinate to him. The Duke of Newcastle is, therefore, the present " Secretary of War," and is not under that title to be confounded with " the Secretary at War," who presides over the finance of the army. It is to his Grace that the credit belongs of hav ing acted so promptly upon the suggestions of Mr. Guthrie's recent letter: It is said that Major-General Lord Lucan will succeed the Duke of Cambridge as Inspecting General of Cavalry. The United Service Gazette has every reason to believe that the following regiments are under orders to prepare for their departure to the Mediterranean as a second instalment of troops for Turkey :—The Ist Foot (Royal Regiment), the 7th Royal Fusiliers, the 19th Foot, the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, the 88th (Connaught Rangers), the 95th Foot. The Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers are likewise under orders. The 30th, 41st, 44th, 47th, 49th, and 55th Regiments go from Gibraltar and Malta to Turkey. SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 24. The 11th company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Hassard, and two com panies of the Rifle Brigade, under command of Major Norcott, arrived here this morning at 9 o'clock, and embarked on board the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steam-ship Himalaya. They marched from the railway station on board the steamer, where they were received by Captain Kellock and his officers, the fine brass band of the Himalaya being stationed on the quarter-deck playing enlivening music. The men seemed in the highest health and spirits, and, as well as the officers, were delighted with the noble ship appointed to convey them, and with the arrangements for their comfort. Several railway waggons, containing 40 tons of trenching tools, came down to-day to accompany the Sappers, and an im mense quantity of blankets, bedding, and other stores has been shipped by the Himalaya. About half-past 5 this afternoon, all arrangements for the voyage having been completed, the Himalaya hauled away from the wharf, with the intention of putting to sea immediately, but in consequence of the lowness of the tides and an accumu lation of alluvial soil (which requires dredging) in the centre of the.dock basin, her head touched the mud, and all the efforts of the tug to get her round in time to save daylight were unavailing. At half-past 6, there fore, the blue peter was hauled down, and the ship will not leave till daylight to-morrow (Saturday). The deten tion of the Himalaya proved a great disappointment to many thousands of spectators who lined the dock walls and wharves for the purpose of witnessing her departure, and who raised repeated rounds of cheers in answer to the cheering of the soldiers on board. The neap tides just now are unusually low, and, as high water does not take place till nearly 9 p.m., the pilot (Mr. James Bowyer) did not like to assume the responsibility of taking so gigantic a ship out of dock in perfect dark ness at so advanced an hour of the night. The Himalaya will probably reach - Plymouth by the evening of to-morrow, and the embarkation of the 93d will tArp pis,. on Monday, after which she will remain at anchor till Tuesday morning, when she is to start direct for Malta. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 24. The 2d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, under the com mand of. Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence, embarked this morning at this port and at Southampton for. Malta. Two companies, under Major Norcott, took the rail at ten minutes past 8, for Southampton, to embark in the Himalaya, and the head-quarters, and six companies, under Colonel Lawrence, left their barracks in Ports mouth at half-past 8, preceded by the 35th Regiment, who took that position of their own free impulse, and, without arms, marched at the head of the column as a guard of honour. The bands of the 35th, 42d, and 79th Regiments, accompanied the troops on their way to embarkation. An immense concourse of persons of all ranks met near the Clarence-barracks to give the Rifles a hearty cheer as they departed for the scene of war. Handkerchiefs and fair hands waved adieu from many an open window, and the whole line of march through the town to the dockyard was one universal and repeated ovation. At the dockyard gates many thousands of persons had assembled, as this was the line of demarkation for the multitude, who could not be admitted within the precincts of the arsenal. With a parting cheer the brigade left their friends and well-wishers behind, and marched to the steamer's side. Here a warm reception was again awarded them from a distinguished and gallant party awaiting their arrival, among whom were the Duchess of Sutherland and family (Lord Leveson Gower being an officer of the brigade) ; the Duchess of Argyll, the Countess of Errol, who accompanies her gallant hus band in the Vulcan ; Lord Colville, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Lady Cochrane, Rear-Admiral Chads t Rear-Admiral Martin, several officers of the fleet, &c. The embarkation commenced forthwith, And by 11 o'clock all were comfortably provided for on board ; the vessel then lay to' in the harbour for the turn of tide, and ai about 6 o'clock this evening she is expected to cast off from her moorings and steam out to Spithead, where she will anchor for the night, and proceed in the morning for Malta. As she emerged from the har bour's mouth a large assemblage of the most respectable inhabitants of the town, and many naval and military officrs, congregated on the Victoria-pier, to give a hearty round of cheers. The troops seemed in the best health and spirits, although they had been a little cast down yesterday by the unaccount able self-destruction of a comrade named Gager, on the common at Southsea. An interesting incident is connected with the embarkation of the Rifles. One of the soldiers' wives, a young woman not long married, whose husband is servant to a captain of the battalion, being determined to "follow him to the wars " (he having proceeded with the two companies by railway for the Himalaya), put on his regimentals which he had left at home, and, having had her hair cut short, so far passed muster in quarters with the others that she marched through the streets to the dockyard, and actually embarked on board the Vulcan before her des perate ruse was discovered, and even yet we are unin formed as to whether she did not go out in the vessel. We believe only nine or ten of the soldiers' wives were allowed to accompany them, and no children, and that 200 of them are consequently left behind, with no de pendence but the consideration of the benevolent. The embarkation of the Rifles was superintended by Colonel Enoch, of the Quartermaster-General's department. The head-quarters and five companies of the 23d Royal Welsh Fu4iliers, (with the goat of the regiment) came over from.Cowes this morning in the steam-sloop Gorgon, Commander Gardener, and took possession of the barracks vacated by the Rifle Brigade. The re mainder will cross over to-morrow by the same means. The 23d-and 79th (Highlanders) are thisday ordered to prepare for embarkation for activelservice. The equipment of the ships fitting out here to form part of the fleet for the Baltic goes on night and day now, or nearly so. Adbairal Corry's squadron is ex pected in sight momentarily, and when here they are not to rendezvous more than four days at Spithead, just time enough to revictual, store, and for their crews to be paid down to the 31st of January last. Every kind of provision, powder, shot, shell, and in fact every ne cessary for action, is ready to be shipped. All leave from the fleet is prohibited. The staff of the Pay-office is put upon a full war establishment by the detachment of experienced officers from the Admiralty and the de partment of the Paymaster-General of the Navy who are down here from London on this special and important duty. PLYMOUTH, FED. 24. On Wednesday there arrived by the Bristol mail train from Yeovil eighty-two privates and two officers from 'the 42d Regiment, and seventy-four privates and one officer of the 79th Regiment, who have volunteered to serve in the 93d. The volunteers on their arrival at the station were loudly cheered. They were met by the band of the 93d Regiment, and escorted to the Citadel. This morning the 93d were inspected by General Sir Harry Smith, in the presence of an immense concourse of people, who loudly cheered the soldiers. They were afterwards formed into square, and General Sir Harry Smith then addressed them as follows :—" Highlanders, on Monday you will embark for the purpose of meeting the enemies of your country. Soldiers have nothing to do with the cause of quarrels ; their duty is to fight, But in this instance you have a most noble cause to fight for—l mean the protection of the weak by the strong. This is the cause that you will fight for, and 4)obly will you and the rest of the army do your duty. You will be led by Lord Raglan, a man who was on the right hand of the Duke of Wellington, a man who knows how to lead you to glory as well as you oikmun impress as o au w npto t to l fi iye g os h ,u t l h t a o end [h a . ea i t 010 be ee say thing I gdalla comradesn d t e , i r m e t t to nch. truly, for they were once our foes ; now you are to fight side, by side with them, and I would rather fight along with them than with any soldiers in the world, because they will never desert you. Your conduct, Highlanders, under my command, has been like that of every British regiment, and I never saw a British regiment that would not fight. I will 'answer for it that you will. There is one thing which I would urge on you. .We, soldiers, are well provided for by our country, but the unfortunate in habitants of the country where war is carried on are ever in a state of misery. Let no man's hand be turned against the people of the country, but protect the weak against the strong. Colonel Ainslie, I wish you and these Highlanders every success, as well as the arms generally. If lam not with you, my heart is with you, and it beats to that impulse which may be felt now by every British soldier who has to fight in the good cause of the Queen and glorious England." The soldiers then "ave Sir ,Harry three times three cheers, after which the people vociferously applauded the military as they marched by. ROYAL ARSENAL. • WOOLWICH, FEB. 24. Lieutenant-General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. ; Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, C. 8., Storekeeper of the Ord nance; and Colonel Hon. L. Maule, Surveyor-General, arrived at the Royal Arsenal, and were received by the heads of the departments, who accompanied these mem bers of the Board of Ordnance during their inspection of the works in progress and the stores on hand for all branches of her Majesty's services. - Some idea may be formed of the resources of the works in the Royal Arsenal when it is stated that Mr. Ander son's admirable self-acting machine for making Mime balls by compression is making these balls in a perfect state ready for use to the extent of three tons' weight per day. The whole of the workmen employed in the Royal Arsenal and a great number of extra men and boys re cently put on, work from daylight till dark, with only half an hour for dinner, and they must take their break fast before they come to work in the morning. 76,000 rounds of ball cartridges left the Royal Ar senal on Wednesday for Southampton, for the use of the Guards, and an order has been received to have 6,000,000 ball cartridges ready packed for the East within the next fortnight. Upwards of 100 boys have been taken on to work, and every building in the labo ratory being occupied in preparing the munitions 'of war, tents have been put up in the sqeare to give in creased accommodation. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Levinge's troop of Royal Horse Artillery as sembled at nine..a.m. to-day in heavy marching ordei, with every appointment ready for field service, and pro ceeded to the common. Each gun was drawn by six fine horses, and the guns are to be all 9-pounders, with 12-pounder and 24-pounder howitzers, with spare wheel for each gun-carriage. The field batteries assembled at the same time, and proceeded to the c ommon, and were drawn up in line, Captain Paynter's - company, Bth bat talion, on the right ; Captain Fitzmayer's company, 3d battalion, in the centre ; and Captain Thomas's com pany, 3d battalion, on the left. Captain Cheetham's company, 11th battalion (now Captain Anderson's, on his promotion to be captain), were drawn up in the rear of the other batteries, and without guns. Lieut.-Colonel Anderson, commanding-of f icer of the field batteries, minutely inspected the men and their ap pointments, which are all of the new approved patterns of pouches and belts, &c. The officers, as well as the men, carried their canteens and canvass bags for provi sions, and the scene was of a very animated description, each gun being drawn by eight fine horses, and each waggon by six horses. There are six guns, with eleven waggons, in each battery, and 170 horses attached to them. After the inspection the batteries marched past in column of half battery at a walk, and then filed in a column of route across the common down the Shooter's hill-road, returning past the veterinary stables, and en tering the barrack-ground by the south-west gate. The Royal Horse. Artillery had previously proceeded across the common in a nearly similar route, and returned to barracks. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS. The 7th company, under the command of Captain Gibb, Royal Engineers, left the Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway at an early hour to-day for the Waterloo station, en route to embark at Southampton. Lieutenant Elphinstorie, Lieutenant Anderson, and Lieu tenant Drake, Royal Engineers, embark at the same time. _ Lieutenant Lempriere, Lieutenant Graham, and Lieu tenant Martin are under orders to embark with Captain Hassard and the 11th company. • • EDINBURGH., The 4th 'Regiment (King's Own), at present in Edit' , burgh' Castle, are under orders for the East, and in readi ness to Move. They have been joined by 142 volun teers from Chatham, and only await the arrival of the steamer Golden Fleece at Leith, where they are to em bark for their destination. The 77th, in Glasgow, are to embark on the Clyde • in the steamer Atrato—a fine vessel, on the eve of completion there. It is expected that the embarkation of both regiments will take place on or about the Ist of March. The detachment of ar tillery in Leith Fort have supplied a contingent of 30 men, with 50 horses, to this branch of the expedition. It is expected that the 4th and 77th will be, meanwhile, relieved by small detachments of the 82d, at present distributed in Stirling Castle, Perth, and Dundee. The effective military force of Scotland will, until new ar rangements are made, be reduced by the departure of these regiments from about 3,000 to 1,300 or 1,400 men, distributed throughout the entire kingdom. DUBLIN, FRB. 24. The VOth Regiment embarked at Kingstown to-day on board the Cambrib., amid the cheers of a large con course of people. The : steamer will not sail until .to morrow morning. It is blowing a perfect hurricane from the' westward. • The 21st (Royal North British Fusiliers), now sta tioned' in•DublinY hasie been extremely successful in picking up recruits. towards . the: augmentation of this 'fine corps. A.great number •were attested yesterday before the magistrates of the head•office of police. The 21st expect to form. a part of the second divisidwof the expeditionary army to Turkey. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 24. The Vulture, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Glasse, ar rived at Spithead this morning from Plymouth, and came into harbour in the evening to land 1,000 bags of bread which she has on board. The Simoom, 18, screw troop-ship, Captain Smith, got steam up to-day to try her engines. The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville, exercised her crew at Spithead this morning in gunnery, when some very sharp practice took place. The Hamoaze lighter sailed to-dayfor Devonport, with ordnance for the Dike of Wellington, 131, and the Devon lighter arrived to-day from Plymouth, with victualling stores for the Clarence-yard. The Juno, 26, Captain Freemantle, sailed from Spit head last evening on a cruise, to exercise her crew. The Gorgon, 6, advance steam-sloop, was commissioned yesterday afternoon pro tem. by Commander Gardener for troop service. She went over to Cowes in the even ing, and returned this morning. Another sad accident ocurred on board the steamer in the steam basin dock on Thursday evening, which proved fatal to a poor man named William Sari, a labourer, who missed •his footing, and fell down the hold, receiving such severe i n j uries that h 9 do wn th e shortly afterwards. He leaves a widow and "seven chil dren to lament his tad end. .Four-hundred men belonging to the Coast-guard are expected to-day for the Neptune, 120, Captain Smith, C.B. They mostly come from Ireland and Scotland. Some of these men are good seamen, but others know nothing of the service, and have never been on board ship before. They are, however, a steady and well disciplined body of men, and are soon brought into a state of efficiency on board ship. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 24 Her Majesty's steam-frigate Vulture, 6, Commander F. g. Glasse, sailed yesterday with biscuit f or th e t roo ps a b o ut to embark at Portsmouth. The screw steam-sloop Desperate, 8, Captain W. W. Chambers, was warped to the jetty yesterday, and will be placed in dock on Monday. The crew of the Nile, 90, pointed topmasts yesterday. The topsailyards were crossed and topmast rigging set up on board the James Watt yesterday. WOOLWICH, FEB. 24. .. . APPOINTMENTS.

Forest, to the Dauntless screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. . The Ithadamanthus steam store-vessel, Master-Com mander Belam, was fen oat of the basin . to-day, and iinmediately left for Portsmouth and Devonport. The newly-entereOnen' of the Fisgard flag-shiVit this port, 64 in number, were paid wages'-yesterday when. the pay-clerks came down from the Admiralty to pay the Rhadamanthus. They have gone through drill and great gun exercises for some tithe - and the know ledge they have acquired is highly cre'ditable. to them' and satisfactory to their instructors. The k Archer screw steam - sloop has been taken out of d patronises art. Wherever he goes his narne - is announced with becoming awe. Rumour does justice to his income, and base groundhogs calculate how much helms to spend a-week, how much a-day, how much an hour, as if he spent his money as regularly as the sun does a.day's work of his orbit. But all this leaves untouched the more interesting question how such a man spends his time, and (what it is to have say, 200,0001. a-year absolutely at one's disposal, and, as it happens in this case, without any one to claim a voice in its expenditure. . Fortunately or unfortunately for these splendid illus o'ns and interesting inquiries, every .now and then something comes out that reveals this grand 'inner life, hidden behimi softy screens of fine. brickwork, under mountains of Palladian architecture, and in wildernesses of fairy landscape. We need not even wait till the undertaker, the auctioneer, or the con tractor throws open the gates, and show& us the secrets of ducal existence. thir own broad sheet has occasionally a tale to tell of these things, and in yesterday's paper therowas ono of a sort to satisfy much curiosity, and appeaee many envious longings after earthly greatness. The Duke of Devonshire, it seems, has a very grand butler—a duke among butlers--and many a small householder., who keeps the key of his wine cellar in his pocket, and himself gives out the allowance for a dinner, thinks within himself how agreeable it would be if one could afford to leave all this trouble to just such a butler as the duke's. But Mr. Wilkinson, it seems, relieved his master to a greater extent than OUT honseholder would Imagine. He hard the purchasing and the choice of the sine, and, o f course, the selection of the wine merc hants. This license he had for all his master's establishments, both town and country,, within the moderate limits of 1,500/. a year. The Duke is a 'temperate and • abstemious man ; the Caven dishes are all so, and his friends are probably after his own taste in this respect. Then, as for extraordinary occasions, even a Duke's banquets can be numbered in the year. Yet hero is an annual incumbranee on the ducal revenue to the amount of 1,500/. at the disposal of a servant; yet not quite absolutely, for to keep that servant in order another servant was necessary. The Duke has an auditor, and that auditor, in overhauling the accounts of the butler, discovered that, like a certain chief butler three thousaud years ago, and butlers ever since, Mr. Wilkinson was liable to error. In fact, this gentleman had sold his master to a firm of wine merchants, and, as appears from a document produced in the Rolls' Court, had promised to get all the Duke's wine from them, on condition of a loan to himself, followed, as it fur ther appears, by other advances, to the amount, in all, of about 6701. The wine-merchants share in this transaction we dare say nothing about. They are not ashamed of it, for they produce the contract in court, and proclaim to all the world that they accommodated the butler with a large loan, re newable from time to time, as the condition of his m as t er ' s , t c h o is oks is , a a n t d h e in o g ach of . men sell their masters to the tradesmen employed in their wi n tl ee p , r an oba d b t l ha y several departments. We shall be told that to protest against t tell all us bu t tl ha ers t the custom is to shut up shop altogether. This, then, is a bit of that grandeur all men covet, and to obtain which for themselves, or their children, or their remote posterity, so e e v u e e ry thm -day Th occ e ur y re many toil night and day, and make themselves miserable. How delightful to be a duke and to be compelled to spend 1,5001. a-year in wine, to keep a gentleman- to buy it, and another gentleman over him to see that, in buying.the wine, he does not sell his master ! Why, how much of that wine is actually consumed by the duke and his friends. Supposing the whole annual supply to find its way to the ducal cellars, who are the - real consumers? One-wine With another, and one day with another; this could not be less thou 500 dozen, or 16 bottles a-day ! Who that knows the duke's habits can think that the average consumption of his Grace's table ? Which is the real servant in such a, household? But the master is worse than the servant. Ile is a prisoner of State. Mere areldnA chains, and there are silken chains, and there are golden ehrbils ; and 50,0001. a-year is but a golden chain that. ties a man till he can hardly walk from one room to another, or order his horse, or go to bed, without the leave of his guards. The owner of a largo establisbment will often fly from it to some out-of-the-way place, where he may forget that he is a Duke and remember that he is a man. Or, if this-be impossiblif, if his guards are too vigilant, he will re tire into some corner of his own dreary house, and betake himself to 'some.imall occupation that may bring his condition as near as Possiple down to that of a journeyman doing a day's work-for a days pay. Give him a bit of garden to dig, or a box to .mend, or a pamphlet to write, and he will be happy for a while: That pleasant dream over, the incubus of hislife will return,andhe is once more a Duke, and a servant of servants. Who has the real enjoyment of such wealth ? The archi- tect enjoys the outside of the house, and the upholsterer tales his pleasure within ; the librarian 'ravels among the books, and the gardener follows his fancy in the garden; the master of the horse delights in the stable, and the cook is great in the kitchen. All enjoy themselves, ex cept the ostensible head. Why, the very Duke who was plaintiff in the case above mentioned is reported to say that he can only afford to live at Chatsworth one month in the year. He is fortunate to be able to live there one month, so thOie in- the_ country , and even in town, that are shut against their owners. We now see how it is ; but stories to the same effect might be repeated for ever. It is said of another nobleman, whose town house has lately changed hands, that when his affairs were placed in the hinds of a friend it, was found the butcher's bill had not been paid for eighteen years, every year of which had rivetted more closely MS Grace's chains to his butcher and his cook. Now, many years ago, at another noble mansion not far from-Pic cadilly, it was found that the cook had a secret storeroom of his own, communicating with the kitchen, full of its spoils; and the investigation brought to.light a system of 'robbery to the amount of 6001. a-year. With all this experience, and the Certainty of unpleasant disclosures some time or other, the great man will still be waited on by gentlemen ; he will still have his valet a fop, his footmen giants, his cook a despot, and all his other servants the most hazardous of their class. After all, he has not what he wants, and what he has paid for. He cannot do what he likes, or get good attendance One millionnaire declares that he was better waited on whbL. he was a boy at college, with the eighth share of a scout, thaw now when he has an exclusive right to the attentions of half-a= dozen gentlemen and thirty servants. Yet there seems no help. Wealth is a choice of evils. If the master looks after his servants, it takes all his time, and he is a slave to app._ ance ; if, he leaves them alone, they will rob and neglect hi Yet, to check the extravagance of butlers and cooks, to de• tect the depredations of gardeners, to chastise the insolence of footmen, and to protect the morals of servant girls, is bun• a'poor occupation for a man with all the world 'before him and with 200,0001. a year._ What is a Duke to do ? We shs,: not? pretend to answer. Let the Duke answer it himself , Our only object just now is to let those ' Who are not Duke Or millionnaires see that wealth and position have their draw atd 'that 20,000/. a year, or even 260,000/., does not exempt a man from responsibilities and troubles.—Times. LA W INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 23. -~------ • "ROLLS' 'COURT'. (g.efgre:tli, Muter of the Rolls.) • , DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE V. LA_FOREST. This suit canie before the Court on a motion for an in junction, by the Duke. of Devonshire, to prevent the de. . fendants, who are wine merchants, from proceeding with kc any action at law against him relative to certain wineS which had been ordered by his butler, but which had not L been delivered, The alleged facts of the case are as fol low :—ln 1852 the Duke ofDeyonshire employed his butler, a man named Wilkinson, to select and buy wines for hinl subject to the approval and under the superintendence of the Duke's auditor, Mr. Currey ; and in that year Wilkin son gave orders to the defendants to send in such wines as appeared necessary. Subsequently Wilkinson, having fallen into some pecuniary difficulty, entered into a kind of contract with the defendants, that if they would ad vance him a sum of 3001. he would always deal with them, and secure them orders from 'the Duke of Devonshire to the amount of 1,5002. a-year. Such contract was em bodied in the following letter from Wilkinson to the de fondants : " June 30, 1852. " Gentlemen, —Being authorised by his ,Grace the Duke of Devonshire to select and purchase wines and spirits for his establishments in London, and also for his country seats, I . purchase per an a d nnum, as you accommo sPhits of you for his of 3001., at ss. per cen t., on my accep t,: dategraceh e r e b in y t eo a g r wthi e t h. e a am t o lo ou p ann u r t ha ance, renewable from time to time ; all wines and spirits to, be invoiced direct from you to the duke ; also all my other business in wines and spirits I agree (in consideration) to throw into your hand, the whole to be subject to a moderate commission.—,l am, t ze :. The defendants subsequently had advanced Wilkinson' . further sums, amounting in all to about 6701. In March,V 1853, it appears that Wilkinson was interdicted from giving any further orders, and wrote to the defendants to that effect; but, nevertheless , in Nov., 1853, a contract was en -; ‘ tered into bet ween Wilkinson and the defendants, under which wine to the amount of 2,3171. was to be sent in to the Duke's residences in London, Chatsworth, and Chik. . wick. Some of this wine was sent in, but some was not. When it became known that Wilkinson was in di ffi culties, and some suspicions had been excited about the orders which had been given , the matter was entered into by Mr. Currey, and upon his advice the Duke refused to receive the t wine which had not been delivered, or to acknowledge the order which Wilkinson had given. Upon this the defendants threatened to bring their action for the recovery of th amount 'alleged to be due for the wine, and the Duke moves for the present injunction to prevent them from doing B ° , l and to have the contract between Wilkinson and the defen-ls dants declared ineffective as against the Duke, inasmuch/ as it was entered into when the defendants knew Wilkinson: was interdicted from giving any orders or e ntering such a contract. This was the plaintiff's case, and thew answer of the defendants to the same was, that their agree-i ment with Wilkinson, and their lending him money, wash is a common ordinary occurrence and daily practised 1 they th y supplied wereready the andvery esanclatththai time stipulated.
