She left Sheerness on Saturday last, at 6.30 2111., under easy steam ; at 7.30, full steam power was set on with a 20-lb pressure, the engines at the tithe making 50 revolutions per,minnte, 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 a g ainst : a stron g head wind, the engines working admirably in every re spect. She ran the distanee 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 leaiing 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 her most vigo rously. The remaining detachment of the Bth Hue ors 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 arid 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 31 Dragoons accompanied theta a short distarce out of the city. Orders were aecmived 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 ;or 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. 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, aid showed other marks of enthusiasm by showering in on them an immense supply of eranges. At 3 o'clock 168 men of the 89th Regiment and 16 women sailed under the commend 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 scrow-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 Templernore. 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. DEATH O. PREPARATIONS FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE ROYAL AL. BERT, 131, SCREIV STKAM-SHIP.—The Royal Victoria and Albeetrioteam-yacht has .beett ordered aliatiffrom 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 fined 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 ga tes 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 Ktoge 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. iZ G~~-t [pfucu SD. CICBURN. - (Prom the Caledonian Mercury of yesterday.) Another of our men of mark, whose names and cha racters were the distinction and the pride of Scotland, 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. Ile opened the Circuit Court at 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 be 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 froni the judgment "at on earth to appear at the tribunal of Heaven. A n event a lesson so striking, should not be lo s t - so solemn, - -G-- - - OD us. It is not now, in the first fresh grief of such a bereave ment, that we can even attempt to pourix ay the cha racter and geuius 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 Sc the sharer of the friendship, the principles, and the la hours of Horner, Jeffrey, Moncreiff, Murray, and Ful lerton—he was, from early youth, in despite of family conne ctions and opposing influences, the ar dent, 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 lit said, as of Professor Wilson, that every political differ - ence had long been forgotten in generous admiration am 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. Nis 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, t ot 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 fellow-citizens were wont to seek and find a safe guide in civic improvement and a sure guarantee of public The Queen held a drawing-room (the second this sew the Life Gua r d s, at d son) Heryeaterday af t ernoesn in St. James's Palace. two o'cl,wk, escorted by a detachment of Palace The Dueh a esa r 82oafnedawmebTh received ridgeand ham ltlajesty a n d Prince Alb er t arr i ve d from Bucking bthyt:he PrincessG reatof:earrsy of State. were present at the dr aw i nt a room Major Baron Knesbeck.

Theirs is a grief with which a stranger inter meddleth not. How kind he was, how genial, and how charming,—and how happy he 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 : 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." THE FRENCH BALTIC FLEET.

On their arrival in the Downs they were saluted by H.M. screw steamer Majestic, 81 guns, and responded to by the French ship-of-the-line L'lnflexible, 90 guns. Mr. V. Weber, vice-consul at Ramsgate, and Mr. G.

TOLVER- Ri) t.Y, the ed through tween Eui on ;ter, and %% 01- THE WAR, THE BRITISH EXPEDITION. We learn by our correspolidenee 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 Emen 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 Aare. 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 (A.ssistant-Commissary - Generals Smith and Strickland, with their staff) were excellent, and by 3 p.m. all the troops and baggage _End mobt of the stores were landed and housed in com _ f...,. „. s 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 he suffering sever , ly from the inclemency of the weather. There are there, or in the neighbourhood encamped 20,000 French and 5,000 British Brigadier Tyiden, 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 ofliser, is on a tour in Bulgaria and Roumelia. On Monday night, off Zea, 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, ind Rifle Brigade. All the remainder are to leave for Scutari. On the 2-Ist, 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 oat with the utmost reenlarity. At an early hour on the 22d the Golden Fleece and Vulcan put to sea ; the Kangaroo followed some time aft er. A s 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 to land. • . • The vessels that bad 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 Tonning, 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 ad, therefore, been incurred. i On le afternoon of the 20th, by the. Prencli , steam cervet e Roland, from Toulon, . arrived his. Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon, accompanied by a brilliant staff, am:•ng whom were Colonels Desmarets, Braniski, and Roman, General Prime. end his Excellency Salih Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador. Signor Dulong, a 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 i 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 flagship. The Cyclops, towing in the Vesuvius from Galli p oli, arrived on the morning of the 22d. The Carackic 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. 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 gun; Captain Lord Frederick Kerr. The Portland, 50, Captain Chads, flag of Rear-Admi ral Moresby, C. 8., arrived off PortsmoutW4esterday morning, and was immediately 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 tranaporterdMerc mornur, Captain Baer), arrived at Spithead yestay ing from Cadiz, and saluted the national flag and the Port Admi ral. She lift 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 came accompanied by the frigate Gefion, 46, and is bound to the Baltic tor Dantzic. She sailed at 1 p.m. for the westward. It The Hannibal, 91, Captain the Hon. F.

'Th ey were more secure than &things' bas iks; people were beginnit? to find that they were rot a afe at they imagined. Mr. Cobden had said nothing could b e so se.:,-ure as land, as it.could not ion away. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Smith) had heard of people swallowing it, but h., had never heard of an sere of land running away from I , ingland to Australia. (Laughter.) To prove that it was in tha power of every one to possess land, he knew of labouring linen earn ing only between seven and eight shillings a-w Lek, who were not only the owners of the land, but they woinld soon begin to build their own houses on that land. If work the men would only begin to save their shillings and sixpenkces 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 soculties being profitable investments, he happened to know that on one of the estates of this society, situate at Auerle7, a member had paid only 31., and he had been offered ,r,Ol. premium for the right he possessed. Now, if anythi ug 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 coul d do so on g ivin g a few da y s' notice, and receive at the same tim e 5 p er cent. interest. (Cheers.) To show the success that the society had met with from the' public, he would m ention that since its foundation, in August last, they had issued between three rind four thousand • • shares. After explaining the three modes of acquiring land s in this society, viz., paid-up shares, seniority, and the ballot, Mr. Smith then said he should feel 0 pleasure in answering the questions of any gentleman, anti resumed his seat amidst loud applause.
