LAW INTELLIGENCE. ADMIRALTY COLTRT-JiN. 20. THE CLARENCE.-COLLISION. This was an action brought by the owners of the col lier brig Maria (200 tons) against the Clarence, a steamer of 426 tons, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, to recover compensation for the damages caused by a collision which occurred on the night of Sun day the 6th of March last. The brig was on her voyage from Colchester to the north, in ballast, for a cargo, and at about tea o'clock on the night in question she was sailing at the rate of about two and a half or three knots an hour, and was about three miles north of Nasborough Light, on the coast of Norfolk. The night, it was al leged was clear, and a vessel could be discerned at the distance of two miles. The brig showed the proper lights, and was close hauled on the larboard tack. The steamer was reported, and a boy was sent with a lanthorn to the larboard bow, where he remained until he was knocked 'own by the collision, for the steamer held on until she truck the brig with great violence. The master of the prig set the pumps to work, and contrive d to get safe back to Colchester. On the part of the steamer (which was on her voyage from Edinburgh to London) it was denied that the brig had shown the proper lights. The night was hazy, and there was a small continual rain, so that the brig could not be distinguished until she was within five or six lengths distance. The master of the Clarence ordered the helm to be put hard sport and the engines to be eased ; but finding that the sailing vessel was following her up at the rate of 6 or 7 knots an hour, he directed the engines to be put on again, in order, if possible, to run away from her, but she came stem on into the steamer. Dr. Haggard and Dr. Twiss appeared for the brig ; Dr. Addams and Dr. Robinson for the steamer. The Trinity Masters being of opinion that the Cla rence was to blame, The Court pronounced for the damages. JO - CRT OF BANKRUPTCY--JAN. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE ROPER. This was the last examination meeting in the case of c. g, Roper, chemist and druggist, of Hackney. His lebts were 1,686/. ; assets, in good debts, 1511. The profits had been 5881. ; expenses and losses, 2,0791. Mr. Stophe opposed for the assignees, on the ground that the bankrupt had given no account of his partner ship transactions with a Mr. Watson. He had also passed away his property by means of two bills of sale. Mr. Duncan, for the bankrupt, stated that there had been little or no trading under the partnership. His Honour directed an adjournment, the question of costs to be reserved. IN RE CROCKER. . This was the certificate meeting in the case of J. B. Crocker, draper of Sheffield. The accounts, prepared by Mr. Pettis, showed rather a favourable state of affairs. His debts were 2,3001., with assets sufficient to yield 10s. in the pound. The case had been brought to this court owing to the bulk of the creditors residing in London. His Honour, after remarking on the large deprecia tion in the value of the stock, said that the bankrupt's conduct had been very discreditable, in attempting to dispose of part of his property after he had made an assignment, for the sake of reimbursing his wife's trus tees. Nothing could justify such conduct. Had he done it before making the assignment he would have stood in a different position ; as it was, it was a commercial offence of a very grave character, which must be visited by a long suspension of the certificate. It must be sus pended for 12 months ; when granted, to be of the third class. As the assignees did not object to it, protection would be given for three months, renewable at the end of that time. NEW OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. Charles Lee, of Manchester, at present one of the dfficial assignees of the court of that district, to the vacancy in Mr. Corn missioner's Holroyd's court, caused by the retirement, through indisposition, of Mr. James Foster Groom, who has filled the office for 22 years, since the first establish ment of the court on its present footing. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS BARBER JOHNSON. This insolvent, an auctioneer, and an assistant to an auctioneer, applied to be discharged from prison. Mr. Reed opposed for Mr. Daniel Buckland, attached to the library of the British Museum, and Mr, Carten supported. The complainant had been induced to give two ac ceptances to a person named Midgley, who resided in Gunter's-grove, Brompton. These bills Midgley got discounted by a money lender, and as Midgley was non est inventus, Mr. Buckland had to pay them. That gentleman had taken as security a bill of sale on Midgley's furniture in Gunter's-grove, and when be waited to enforce it he found the insolvent residing in the house, and he claimed the property for an advance made in the name of a person named Perkins. It turned out that there was another bill of sale held by Messrs. Chinnock and Galaworthy, and as the insolvent said he was apprehensive of being turned out, he got about 20 men to keep possession, and they remained nearly a week. They were described as singing, drinking, and smoking, when it was intended to enforce Mr. Buck land's security. It was supposed that there was suffi cient property to pay the claims of Perkins and •Buck land, and to the surprise of the latter the property was removed to the rooms of the insolvent's father, an auctioneer, in Gracechurc'u-street, and there sold by auction for about 1491. A notice was served not to pay over the proceeds, but a cheque was given to Mr. Parkins!, and an action was afterwards brought against the insolvent, who acted as the auctioneer on the occasion. He had been an assistant to his father. The action was pleaded to and tried in August last. After the trial had proceeded for some time a verdict for consent for 1001. was given. The costs were 136/. The insolvent was taken in execution in December. An offer of 501., and subsequently of 701., had been made and refused, but it was stated that 10s. in the pound on the debt and costs would probably be ac cepted. The point against the insolvent was, thg he had not acted as he should have done to Mr. Buckland, and was therefore not entitled to his discharge. The case occupied the whole day in the elucidation of the facts. The insolvent's father was examined and stated that the reason he paid the money over to Mr. Perkins on the day of the sale was, than he was fearful of an attach ment. He knew there were disputes about the pro perty, and Mr. Perkins being a very old friend he wished to secure him. The Chief Commissioner requested further evidence before he decided on the case. It seemed as if the wit nesses had been purposely left at home. Mr. Caarten assured the court that such was not the case. It was not known that they would be wanted. The court adjourned the case to Friday for further evidence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Mary Anne Hunt, the secretary of a female provident society, called the "Friendly Sisters' Birmingham Society," was summoned before Alderman Moon, for unlawfully refusing to pay Mary Thompson the sum of 51., the balance of 81. due to her at the death of her husband, contrary to the regulations of the society. It appeared this was a society, established by a num ber of females with a view to provide widows who were members with the necessary funds to defray the funeral expenses at the deaths of their husbands. The rules stipulated that no persons under eighteen years of age, or over fifty, should be admitted a member, and in the present instance the complainant had complied with all the necessary requirements ; but it was alleged for the defence, that on being admitted a member the com plainant had misrepresented her husband's age in stating he was not more than 50, it being an understood con dition, though not embodied in the rules, that no person should be admitted whose husband's age exceeded fifty years. The defendant further said the society did not object to pay the money, and all that was required of complainant was a certificate of the age of the husband, which she had neglected to furnish. Alderman Moon said it did not matter what age the husband might have been, because there was no rule bearing upon the subject, and he therefore made the order for the amount claimed. BOW-STREET.—Th e .Rev. James Murray Rawlings was finally examined, before Mr. Jardine, on the charge of forgery. The depositions of the former witnesses having been' read over, Mr. Robert Rough, of 10, Ma nsion - house -street, up gave the ch eque produced to bolsterer, deposed that he the prisoner on the 13th of January. It was o r i g i na ll y drawn for Si. 55., but the word eight had been since altered to "eighty," and the figure 81. to 801. Th e ad ditional "y " and "0 " were not in witness's hand writing, nor had he authorised any one to make th e i alteraton ; b u t h e w i s hed to add that from his know ledge of the high character and respectability of the prisoner's family, he should have readily exchanged the cheque for a genuine one for 801. ss. Sergeant Hayes, of the detective force, stated that he took the prisoner into custody at the establishment of Messrs. Howitt and Co., High Holborn, in the afternoon of the 13th inst. Witness said to him, " You need not answer any questions without you like." He replied, "I will answer any question." He then stated that he received the cheque from Mr. Rough, and had been driven by trouble and misfortune to alter the amount. He added that if he were taken to a police court it would be the ruin of him. The prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Wontner, his solicitor, offered no defence to the charge, upon which he was then fully committed for trial. SO UTH WARK.—Henry Slade, a fell ows hi p porter, residing at Dockhead, was charged with committing a very brutal and murderous assault on Sarah Slade, his wife. • The court, having heard the evidence, said it was the most brutal attack on a wife he ever knew. Unfortu nately, however, it has its parallels in several cases which we have lately had to publish. He was sentenced to six months' hard labour in the Rouse of Correction. LAMBETH. Joseph Francis, alias Gray, alias Mo rn - Bennett, alias Marshall, Esq., M.D., alias C. '''"'"i 4 , M.D. w W ho alter had been charged at this court with victimising the public by means of quack advertisements who was bailed out on Saturday last to appear yester day,was called t o appear, but at a late h our o f th e evening he had not been seen. Mr. Bussell, his attorney, said he had seen Francis THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, on the day before, when it was arranged that he should surrender to his bail, and, in fact, he (Mr. Bussell) was there to appear for him, and was at a loss to conceive why he did not attend. Mr. Norton observed that one of the persons who had bailed the accused was the relieving officer of the parish of Newington, and the other bail was represented to be equally respectable, and therefore he did not hesitate to take their recognisances for the accused. Mr. Emmerson, the inspector who, with Tapping, an active constable, has the case in hand, said that Mr. Bennet, the relieving officer of Newington, was the pri soner's brother-in-law, and Mr. Evans, of the Blackfriars road, the other bail, was also a relation of the accused. Mr. Norton was somewhat surprised that Francis did not appear, for at present the case was merely one of in quiry, and no charge had been substantiated as far as he (Mr. Norton) could see. Mr. Bussell said that in his opinion there was no legal offence, whatever might be said of the moral imputation, and his advice to his client was that of meeting it. He then requested that it might be allowed to stand over to give him an opportunity of seeing his client. This was conceded, and so the matter stands. Mr. Francis New, the managing director to the Age Insurance Office, in Chancery-lane, attended, and ad dressing Mr. Norton, observed, that in the report of the charge against Joseph Francis which appeared in the different journals on Saturday last, his name was men tioned in such a way as might mislead the public, and create a belief that he had been in correspondence with the person whose conduct was at present under investi gation. The fact, however, was, that he, Mr. New, knew nothing whatever about Joseph Francis, nor had he ever corresponded with him in any way. THAMES.—Thomas Jackson, 19 years of age, who refused to giye his address, was charged with robbery and assault. On the previous evening, Mr. J. D. Ward, a grocer and oilman, of No. 3, St. Anne's-place, Limehouse, was in a room at the back of his shop, when he saw the pri soner near the door, and, suspecting his intentions, watched him. Soon afterwards the prisoner was seen leaning over the counter with his hand in the till, which was partly di awn out. Mr. Ward immediately rushed out of his room into the shop, and asked the prisoner what he was doing, to which he replied, "Nothing at all," and attempted to leave the shop. Mr. Ward stood before him to prevent his doing so, and the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the mouth, which caused him to stagger, and he lost a good deal of blood. The prisoner was about to rush out of the shop when Mr. Ward seized him by the collar, a scuffle' ensued, and Mrs. Ward came to the assistance of her husband, and received a violent blow from the prisoner. A lad then came to the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Ward, and the prisoner knocked him down and threw himself upon him. A desperate struggle ensued, in the midst of which Hunnisett, a police-constable, entered the shop and pulled the prisoner off the lad. Jackson struck at the constable; but the blow did not take effect, and Hunnisett tripped him up and secured him. The constable afterwards picked up four shillings and a fourpenny piece on the floor of the shop. The prosecutor missed money from the till, and he could swear to the fourpenny piece, which he had taken a short time before the prisoner entered the shop. It was bent, and had a slight crack on the edge. Mr. Ward doubted the genuineness of the coin when he took it, and, after he had examined it, put it into the till.—Mr. Ingram committed him for trial. HAMMERSMITH.--James Lawrence, aged 12 years, living with his parents, at No. 2, Church-court, Ken sington, was brought up on remand, charged with steal ing several pieces of meat from the shop of Mr. Thomas Worley, a butcher, of Church-street, Kensington. The robbery was committed in a very impudent manner. On Wednesday morning week last one of the prosecutor's men, missed from the shop a large piece of beef, weighing about 161b5., and thinking that the thief would pay them another visit of a similar kind, he kept a sharp look-out for him on the next morning. About half-past seven o'clock the prisoner, not seeing any per son in the shop, went in and walked towards the block. He stood against it for a minute or two, and he then opened a white cloth which he had brought with him, and wrapped in it a fore quarter of mutton. He then made his way off, but was stopped before he had gone far. He was given into custody of Roseblade, a con stable of the T division, who afterwards went to his parents' lodgings in Church-court. He found the mother in bed, having recently been confined, and in the cup board he discovered about 81bs. of the beef, which the prisoner confessed to have stolen on the Wednesday morning. He also found some of the beef in a saucepan, and the mother said in answer to his questions that her boy brought the beef home, but she did not know where he got it. The father was a carpenter, and was in the habit of leaving home early in the morning, but he always returned in the evening. Roseblade now stated that a loin of mutton was stolen from the shop a few days before, and the prisoner ad mitted to him that he also stole that. The father of the prisoner was then called, and in answer to questions put to him said that he had four children, and the boy in the dock was the eldest. The prisoner was absent during the day, and led them to suppose that he was at work at the butcher's. Mr. Paynter told the father that he ought to have made inquiries as to whether his son's story was true, and not to have allowed himself to be taken in by a pre tence of that sort. Ile could not help believing that the occupiers of the room in which the beef was found must have known where it had come from. A young woman, named Elizabeth Benson, who is employed as nurse to the prisoner's mother, said the boy pretended to be at work at a butcher's, and his mother told him he ought to bring home a piece of meat. Mr. Paynter strongly animadverted upon the conduct of the parents, and said he considered the prisoner had been most grossly neglected, and the father seemed to be quite an unfit person to take care of him. He had intended to take the father's recognisance for the good behaviour of the prisoner, as he had done in many other cases, but after what he had heard, it would be quite idle of him to take his security for the good conduct of his child, when he was more to blame than the prisoner. He should send the boy to prison for one month, with hard labour, but, under the circumstances, ho should not order him to be flogged. He should order the wit nesses to receive the costs in the case, and he was only sorry he could not make the parents pay them. The prisoner was then locked up. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, 1853, I NAME OF RAILWAY. Receipts. 1853. 1854. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 20. A rumour has got into circulation to-day, that Rear- Admiral Martin, the recently appointed Superintendent of this dockyard, is about to be appointed to command a squadron afloat, and that Rear-Admiral Chads (just promoted) is likely to be his successor. We give these reports for just what they are worth. The Apollo troop and store ship, Master-Commander Johnson, has filled up to her deck beams with stores, and her crew has been paid wages to-day at the dock yard. She takes out supernumeraries, also, to the fleets in the Black Sea, and sails to-morrow. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, is now about 200 only short of her full comple ment of 850. What she has are very good hands, many being volunteers from other ships. She is now rattling and blacking down preparatory to painting. The Caesar, 91, is having rigging prepared for her in the rigging house in the dockyard, and her masts are also being got ready with all despatch. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 20. Her Majesty's frigate Thetis, 38, Captain Augustus L. Kuper, which arrived yesterday from the Pacific, left at Rio Janeiro or the 26th of November, the sloop Star, 8, Commander Frederick P. Warren ; the paddle wheel steam-sloop Stromboli, Commander Robert Hall ; the Brazilian frigate Constitution, and the United States frigate, Savannah, 50. bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Salter. The brigantine Bonetta, 3, Lieu tenant-Commander Charles Wake, was passed on the 26th, entering the harbour. On the 12th of December, in lat. 14 S., long. 28 W., she spoke the schooner Young Marquis, of and from Glocester, outward bound. The Thetis has brought home Lieutenant Campbell, of the Star, Mr. Mitchell, clerk of the Dido, and 16 mer chant seamen from various ships at Valparaiso and Callao, prisoners for mutiny and insubordination. No changes among her officers have taken place during her absence—three years and seven months. Her first lieu tenant, Mr. Arthur Sansum, died suddenly on the 12th of April, at Whymos, on the coast of Mexico, and Mr. W. R. Plummer, clerk, was drowned at Vancover's Island, ou the 22d of August, 1852. Two distressed British seamen died on the passage home—one on the 10th, the other on the 17th inst. Letters dated December 24, on board the Arethusa, 50, Captain Thomas M. C. Symonds, state that the frigate was shortly to leave for England. A great number of the crew had volunteered to go with their captain, on the Ist inst., on board the screw steam-ship Agamemnon, 91. Upwards of 20 shipwrights have obtained their dis charge from the Devonport Dockyard, in order, it is said, to enter the service of private builders on the banks of the Thames. WOOLWICH, JAN. 20. APPOINTMENTS. Captain George Elliot (1840), to command the James Watt, 90, screw steam-sloop of 600 horse power, com missioned this day at Devonport. Captain Robert Harris (1849), to command the Illus trious, 72, commissioned this day at Portsmouth. Midshipman— A. H. Gilmour, to the Princess Royal, 90, at Portsmouth. FROM THE GAZETTE Of! LAST NIGHT. WHITEHALL, JAN. IS. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Right Ho nourable Spencer Horatio Walpole ; the Right Honourable Joseph Napier ; Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn, lint., Her Majesty's Attorney-General ; Sir Richard Bethell, Knt., Her Majesty's Solicitor• General ; Thomas Emerson Headlam, Esq., one of her Majesty's Counsel ; Vincent Scully, Esq., one of her Majesty's Counsel ; Robert Lowe, Esq., Barrister-at-Law ; William David Lewis, Esq., Barrister-at-Law; Henry Drummond, Esq. ; John Evelyn Denison, Esq. ; Robert Wilson, Esq. ; and Wil liam Strickland Cookson, Esq., to be her Majesty's Com missioners for considering the subject of the registration of title with reference to the sale and transfer of land. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JAN. 17. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's CharLy,6 d'Affaires at Lima, enclosing a translation of a decree of the Peruvian Govern ment, by which vessels, laden with guano at the Chincha Islands, are no longer compelled to touch at Callao, of which the following is a copy : (Copy.) (Translation.) Lima, Nov. 26. It being unnecessary that the vessels occupied in carry ng guano, and which go with this object to the Chincha [slands, with the permission of the Government, should return to Callao for the purpose only of fulfilling the formality of finally closing their register, which can bo effected at the said islands, that measure causing to the shipping the loss of some days, which can be employed to the benefit of the long voyage which they have to make to arrive at their distination, and at the same time they suffer much injury by the desertion of the crews consequent upon the vessels staying in the port of Callao ; it is resolved, that the captains of vessels loaded with guano who wish to depart direct from the Chincha Islands to the place of discharge, may do so ; and in such case they must be cleared by the chief of the station or the government which may be established there, who shall give notice to the Custom-house of Callao of those to whom the permission is conceded. And in consideration that by this measure the owners of ships derive a benefit, and that the excessive cost occasioned by the demurrage on account of the impossibility of exporting the quantity of tons re quired for the demands of the different markets ten laydays more than those fixed in the charters for guano shall be allowed in compensation for the concession made. At the same time the consignees of those ships shall exact that they have at the islands the quantity of water allotted to them until the Government can make other arrangements. Communicate, register, and publish this. (Signed) JOSE RUFINO ECHENIQUE. PAZ SOLDAN. BRITISH. Aberdeen ......

SAILORS' WAGES.—SHIELDS, THURSDAY NIGHT. — Sailors' wages in the coal trade to London have been 61. per voyage from all the northern ports durin g the winter. Coal freights , however, are very high, and a meeting of sailors' delegates, representing Hartlepool, Sunderland, the Tees, Shields, and Newcastle, has been held in South Shields, this evening, with the object of procuring a rise in wages commensurate with the ad vance in freights. After the opinions of the seamen o f the various ports were given, it was unanimously re solved to advance the wages from 6/. to 71. per London voyage to-morrow morning, and 14 days hence to 8/. per voyage. At a larie meeting of the body of seamen afterwards held in " the Market-place these resolutions were confirmed. The owners will pay the advance. AUGMENTATION OF THE ARMY.—The Limerick Chro nicle says There is little doubt of an augmentation of the present strength of the British army, by the re construction of second or reserve battalions, which will be introduced in the military estimates by the Secretary at War." - £1,5R9 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The weights for the Grand National, the Chester Cup, and the Great Northern Handicap, all of which have bees published since Wednesday, was the general theme of conversation and discussion to-day. The Grand Na tional seems to give general satisfaction, but as regards the Chester Cup and Great Northern Handicaps, such is the disparity between the two, that one or the other must necessarily give dissatisfaction, but which of the two is so doomed, the future betting and acceptances are best calculated to denote. As regards the Great Northern little or no betting has hitherto been done upon it, con sequently the market stands little affected as yet, but heavy investments have unquestionably been made upon the Chester Cup, nor has the appearance of the weights produced any great consternation amongst those who have invested largely, with the exception of the backers of Virago, s h e now b e ing considered completely out of the race. A general opinion prevails that there would not have been much occasion to fear had she been han dicapped at 61b. less—in other respects the handicap has had no effect upon the betting, except to bring more prominently into favour those who had for some time previously headed the list.

Mate—James Wilcox (1851), serving as First Mate of the Rattler, 11, screw steam•sloop on the East India and China station, to the rank of Lieutenant. Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling, appointed yesterday to be Commander-in-Chief of the East India and China stations, arrived at Woolwich at half-past 11 o'clock to day to take up his commission, and he has his flag hoisted on the Fisgard flag-ship at this port, as is usual on the appointment of a flag officer to a foreign station, when his flag-ship is not ready at any of the naval ports in this country. Commodore John Shepherd inspected the Volcano steam-vessel, Commander Robert Coote, on her arrival at this port from service on the west coast of Africa to be paid off, and she was taken into the basin to-day, preparatory to delivering over her rigging and other stores, before being paid off. The Centaur, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, of 540 horse-power, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral William Hender son, C. 8., K.H., on the South-East Coast of America station, was at Rio de Janeiro on Dec. 13, all well. She had previously been on a cruise to Bahia and Pernambuco and back, and only had her steam up for five days during her cruise to these places and return to Rio. ANOTHER SCREW SHIP OF THE LINE COM MISSIONED. The Admiralty have commissioned another screw ship of the line, the James Watt, of 91 guns and 600 horse power. Another Elliot has been selected from the half pay list to active service, in command of this ship, viz., Captain George Elliot, who paid off the Phaeton, 50, a few months since, and who, as a captain, commanded the Eurydice, 26, and one or two other ships. Captain Elliot is the son of Admiral the Hon. George Elliot, C. 8., and nephew of the Earl of Minto. He entered the navy so late as 1827, and is a captain of 131 'years' standing. Captain Elliot has never before commanded a steam•vessel, but he is considered a clever officer and seaman, although promoted in time of peace with as much rapidity as the immortal Nelsen. We have now in commission the following screw-ships of the line : Duke of Wellington ... 131 guns. Royal George... ... ... 121 „ St. Jean d'Acre ... 101 „ Agamemnon ... ... 91 Princess Royal ... James Watt ... Cressy ... Sanspareil with the screw guard-ships Blenheim ... 60 guns. Hogue 60 „ Ajax ... 58 „ Edinburgh ... 56 „ But in the course of a few months the force of screw ships of the line will be increased to 18 sail by the addi tion of Royal Albert Caesar 71 ... 131 guns. ... 91. „ Hannibal 91 Nile ... 91 „ Exmouth ... ... 91 „ Algiers ... 91 „ which, with the two heavy screw-frigates, Imperious° ... 51 guns. Euryalus ... 51 „ will restore the navy of England to its proper position —the most powerful, at least in number and efficiency of ships, in the world. In the meantime let it not be forgotten that the French are most industriously working up their screw fleet. In July, 1852, when the Times insisted that they bad nothing equal to our Agamemnon, _then just launched, without a spar or gun on board of her, and the Arrogant, a 47-gun frigate, our friendly rivals had no less than three screw line-of-battle ships in actual service, two or three fitting, and half-a-dozen building. Since then, however, the British Admiralty, as we so repeatedly urged them to do, have run ahead of the French, and although France has more than.l2 or 14 screw-ships of the line afloat, and are to have 20 in commission very shortly, we have outstripped them, and having resumed the lead, we shall not, we trust, be deluded by any ignorant misrepresentations or insane cry of economy, and get behindhand again. —M orning Herald. MANNING THE NAVY.—The following are the new regulations relative to the height of applicants desirous of entering for service in the Royal Navy :—" Wanted, on board Her Majesty's ship Fisgard at Woolwich, for the Royal Navy, and for 10 years' continuous service, with leave to visit their friends from time to time, men between the age of 19 and 22, not less than 5 feet 61 inches high, stout, healthy, and intelligent ; also lads, between the age of 17 and 19, not less than 5 feet 5 inches at 17, and not less than 5 feet 6 inches at 18.

WooLwicii, Jan. 20.—Captain H. Austin Turner's company Ist battalion, recently returned from Barba does ; Captain George R. Baker's company 6th battalion, recently returned from Jamaica, and Captain H. W. Montressor's company, recently returned from Bermuda, with the whole of the detachments of Royal Artillery in the garrison under orders to embark in the Cyclops steam-frigate, to proceed in her to fill up the companies at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, assembled in heavy marching order at half-past 10 o'clock to-day, on the guard mounting parade, and were inspected by Colonel Willis, inspector of drills, accompanied by all the commanding officers of the twelve battalions and Brigade-Major Bingham, there being a portion of every battalion in the corps under inspection. Colo nel Willis, after making a very minute inspection of the men and their appointments, expressed his approbation of their clean and soldier-like appearance. A number of parties have been selected from the batta lions for the recruiting service, and they will proceed immediately into the country to raise recruits for the Royal Regiment of Artillery, for the purpose of filling up the battalions to their full strength, and it is said to form the nucleus of two additional battalions, which are expected to be added to their corps in April, on the com mencement of the financial year. Eleven fine grey horses left the garrison this morning, in charge of a non-commissioned officer and four gunners, for Bristol, to complete Capt. Dennis Pack's grey battery at that station. It is stated to-day that orders have been received at the Royal carriage department to mount 1,100 pieces of ordnance of various calibre with the great despatch, and that the workmen are to work overtime to meet the requirements of the service, and to be fully prepared for any emergency that may arise owing to the present aspect of affairs. POST OFFICE LETTER CARRIERS.—The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury have signed a warrant of a grant for 3,0001. for the additional pay of the letter carriers at present in the London district, and for an increase in their numbers. LORD PAN3IIIRE.—We have pleasure to announce that the health of this esteemed nobleman continues to improve. His recent attack of gout has been the most serious he ever had. Lord Panmure was enjoying the hospitalities of the Marquis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle ; and his Lordship would have remained there but for the fact that there is no resident physician at the castle. The noble Lord, apprehensive of the serious nature of his illness at once proceeded to Pitfour Castle, where, under the care of his Lordship's private physi cian ; Dr. Ellis, of Carnoustie, he has gradually ap proaohad estate of couvaleseence.—Perth Constitutional. - • r WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 20.
