Yesterday afternoon an expel section ship Connector took place wall and Gravesend. Perhaps, instead of ex — per mental trial, the word demonstration should be used, because it is the case that the Connector has made 10 or more voyages to and from the east coast ports and London with coal and other things. The trial yesterday was to give ocular proof of the suffi ciency and efficiency of section ships to those con templating the construction of such ships, not for the home rivers or canals, nor for the rivers or canals of India or other parts, but for the London and Newcastle coal trade. Section ships, the inventor and the promoters think, may be brought into pro fitable competition with the railways, the steam colliers, and the old-fashioned sailing colliers! p section be cause, as regards the railways, well-contrived water transit will always cost less than railway transit ; because, ES regards the steam colliers, the motive w ships en kept always of going ; and b ecause , as regar d s t h e o ld-f as hi one d saoi li e n r g o colliers, the t h e different the section ship may be disconnected in the Pool, and towed by the motive section direct to Lambeth, Nine•elms, or Battersea, thereby saving to the con sumer the by no means inconsiderable • lighterage and other charges. It is, however , as an innovation inn_ctshtailopa railway stecaornrsytirnugc tion, and not as a quest i on of profit and loss in car rying coal, that th e exper i mental trial of the Con nector is here rotic e d. B y this innovation we have a ship formed into two, th ree, or it may be a dozen separate parts, each part for m i ng a separate ship, with bow, and stern, and mast s , an d sa i l, capable of being disconnected in a moment f rom a l l the other parts, and capable (in perfectly smooth wthaatseercc)aorailf being attached to all the other parts in almost an other moment. By this innovation cargo, or pas senger, or other sections may be attached to a motiv e s rst e irt aa c a g t td i i ee o o s n ,n — i ; at ratmehn may ya t , t recurringti attached be e , hst said idd a t ot steam h aatlforoeaa 0 nperfec tsection at o section ship would consist of nine coal and one motive sections; three coal sections being always attached to the motive section, three sections being always waiting at the loading port, and three sec tions being always waiting at London, the port of discharge. That all this is theoretically right and t e n practi c allyo r promisingmor more i does sgehat nmvootayyaadgomer voyages may t ooffnoth doubt,tebe all s m andthat Connector. prov ed lnto the latter question it is needless h ere to enter. The point of present interest is whether t he dan gers b y it the i s of the sea may be diminished by such m eans. Had the steamers lost in the St. Lawrence this year and during previous years been section-ships, it is probable that life and property would have been saved. The smashing or sinking of the bow section would have left all the others stanch and strong, and in those others sailors and passengers might have pursued their voyages without delay. The next experimental trip of the Connector will miles, was m Dover to Calais. The length of the ship— three cargo sections and one motive—is 110 feet, the breadth 8 feet 4 inches, the depth of hold 5 feet 4 inches, the e ng i ne 10 h orse -power, and the screw 4 feet. With thi s sma ll b o il er power an average smooth water speed of six knots, or seven statute Thhaids, speedand i canvas t h a as much gre at length gli ten knots, or 12 statute m il es , are sa id t o have been obtained. and small breadth; and blockade runners may like to know that the inventor of the section ships will guarantee 30 to 36 miles an hour or six feet draft of water.

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS (PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED Pi THE GREAT VAIILBITIONS OF 1851 AND 1862), is allowed by upwards of Two ilundred Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective nventiou in the curative treatment of it ERN I A. The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its effects, .s here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the hoc-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the cir. sumference of the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the manufacturer, The public will, perhaps, be surprised to learn that Lieut.-Col. Crawley, not contented with his " great go" against his paymasters and sergeant majors, has also had a" little go" against one of hie corporals, which, however, if we mistake not, will have a considerable influence on the judicial pro ceedings that are now pending. It will be remem bered that Col. Crawley has more than once hinted that he was not responsible for the imprisonment of the sergeant-majors, and that, with especial em phasis, he has sought to clear himself from the charge of having placed a sentry inside of Lilley's room during the confinement of the latter. His friends in Parliament have repeatedly denied his responsibility for the imprisonment, and, as for the inside sentry, they have repudiated it altogether as a malicious figment not requiring contradiction. We believe that Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley's apecific statement respecting the position of the sentry was that he was not aware, on the 7th of May. of his having been posted inside the room ; but what are the facts ? The non-commis sioned officer whose duty it was to post the sentry was Corporal Blake, at the time corporal of the guard, and he in the first instance posted the sentry at the door of the sick-room, presuming that there the soldier could not " lose sight of his prisoner night or day," as the order of arrest expressed it. Blake , it a pp ears, had some bowels of compas sion for the imprisoned sergeant-major and his sick wife, but he was soon taught that such inaudlin sentiments were not to be tolerated in the Inniskill ing Dragoons. On the sth of May—mark the date —his colonel bro u g ht him to regimental court martial for disobedience of orders, an d unhappy Bloke was sentenced to 42 days' hard labour, and the loss of his go od -conduct stripe, simply b ecause he had attemp ted to reconcile the exigencies of a sickroom with his duty as a non - commissioned officer. The non-professional reader must take notice that th i s court martial was Lieut.-Col. Crawley's own doing from beginning to end, an d that he can on no pretence attempt to shift the blame on his military superiors, as he has sought to do in Lilley's case. R e summoned the court himself, he selected the members, and he approved of the finding and sen tence; and this was on the sth of May, whilst on the 7th he stated that he was not aware of the po sition in which the sentry had been placed. it will be seen, therefore, that in the coming investigation this regimental courtmartial on Corporal Blake will be a most important feature. The two points upon which Lieut.-Colonel Crawley will rest his defence have already been pretty clearly indicated by him self and hi s friends. With respect to the arrest of the sergeant-majors, he will, no doubt, rest on the approval of Sir W. Mansfield ; but the Court will have to look narrowly into the circumstances under which that approval was given, and to give a specia, weight to the fact that Sir William, when approving of the arrest, was under the impression that the court-martial was only to be an affair of two or three days' duration. It was Lieutenant- Colonel Crawley's duty, when referring the matter, to have pointed out the time that the imprisonment was likely to last, as time was everything when the question was confinement in an Indion casemate at the hottest time of the year. But, even supposing the responsibility of the arrest to be divided, Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley may triumphantly claim the manner in which it was carried out as being all his own. The court-martial on Corporal Blake nails him to the responsibility of the inside sentry, and the posting of that inside sen try is the worst feature in the whole of this transac tion. The minutes of the court-martial on Blake must be moved for immediately in the House of Commons, and must form one of the leading docu ments in the approaching trial, for it is not only of the highest importance in itself, but, contradicting, as it does, one positive statement of Lieutenant- Colonel Crawley's, it must materially effect the credit to be given to other portions of his secantdefnct,..

Mr. Buckstone's annual benefit, always an event of interest in the dramatic world, passed off with its customary eclat last evening, when the manager's second season of no less than five years' duration was brought to a close. The performances consisted of a Spanish ballet, the comedy of " Charles X 11.," and the farces of "The Bengal Tiger" and "Deaf as a Post." In the course of the evening Mr. Buckstone came forward in front of the curtain, and was re ceived with enthusiastic acclamations. He delivered the following address, which repeatedly elicited the cheers of the audience; — "Ladies and Gentlemen,--As this is the last night of a season of five years, comprising one thousand four hundred and seventy-three nights, being the second of the same duration under my management, when this theatre has never been closed on any one occasion, except by order of the Lord Chamberlain, I feel it a duty I owe to you to say a few words relative to the past and concerning the future, before I make my bow until next September. "I have now, ladies and gentleman, been the sole lessee and manager of this theatre for more than ten years ; I say sole lessee and manager, because it has sometimes been re ported that others were connected with me ; but such is not the case, for during the whole term of my lesseeship I have stood alone, and 'whatever may have been the faults or merits of the direction, they belong entirely to myself, as also all the losses, risks, and, I am happy to say, the profits ; while never at any time have I known what it is to have, as it is termed, a backer,' that is to say, some one behind me; my only backer has been the public, before me, and well has the public performed that friendly office. "A little while ago, ladies end gentlemen, I began to think that I had been too long your servant, and felt that an occasional retirement would be a little relief for both of us ; but the expression of this thought gave rise to many rumours —one, that I was about to take my farewell of the stage altogether; another, that I had transferred my interest in the theatre to other hands—a proceeding I never dreamt of. The truth is, I but fancied I might find some one who would relieve me of a portion of the anxieties of is,anagement, and occasionally act for me, so that I might now and then enjoy a holiday; but I could not find that some one. While as to retiring altogether, my doctor would not permit it; he said that I should miss an active life ; that I should not know what to do with myself; that I shculd go to sleep after dinner, and be always under his hands—a very disinterested medical man you will say. Well, ladies and gentlemen, as my lease was about expir ing, I listened to my doctor, and the result has been, that my excellent landlady has renewed that lease for a long term of years, so that it is likely I shall still be coming to work here every evening until I shall be made to feel that you have had quite enough of me. " You will be happy to hear that, with some fluctuations, which belong to every enterprise, My ten years' manage ment has been most successful, the last half of that term particularly so, while the great Exhibition year brought me an unparalleled tide of presperity,although it is but right to allow that much of that prosperity was due to my Lord Dundreary (Mr. Sothern), whose extraordinary performance was the talk of all London for more than twelve months, and filled this theatre nightly during that time, by the re presentation of that one character, lam happy to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, that Mr. Sothern is meeting with the same great success in the provinces, is in excellent health and spirits, and that he will re-appear here on the 26th December next, and shortly after hopes to have the pleasure of introducing you to Brother Timm.' Mr. and Mrs. Alfred "Wigan will commence my next season in Sep tember, when the performance of Lady Gifford's successful comedy of Finesse' will for a short time be resumed. You will be pleased to know that Mr. Charles Mathews, after a long absence, will return to the London stage ; I have a new comedy to introduce both himself and Mrs. Matthews, and which, I have every reason to here, willrun till Christmas. And now, ladies and genttemen, I must tell you what lam about to do to make you 3 omfortable. My patrons in the stalls have long complained of being uneasy in their seats, and of having a sensation that every moment they should slide off them on the floor ; while persons of only ordinary rotundity have felt pinched and confined for want of space. I intend to make those seats wider, and so constructed that you will be as snug as on the seats of a first-class railway carriage, but without the oscillation of those conveyances. An additional row of stalls will be made, and there will be an entrance door on each side, so that the crinolines of the ladies will not be so disturbed as hitherto they have been. In the dress circle, the knife-boards will be abolished, the box partitions removed, and 250 roomy velvet chairs placed for the conve nience of the visitors to that part of the house. In the am phitheatre, the benches will be covered, backs will be added to them, so that when the pit is overflowing, no one will object to pass up aloft, where they will meet with every comfort, and obtain one of the best points of sight in the house. Of course, we shall clean up, and present a bright appearance,and to which I hope full houses will give an ad ditional lustre. " We shall still, ladies and gentlemen, adhere to those performances which have been the speciality of this house from the time of Foote—English comedy and farce, with an occasional burlesque or pantomime at Christmas. Our vocation here is to make you laugh ; we do not pretend to terrify, or to astonish, or to make you weep. Laughter, holding both his sides,' is our motto, and a very good one, too. I read the other day, in a little periodical called glee Key, that no exercise is equal to laughing. Ten hearty laughs—real shouts—will do more to advance the general health and vitality than an hour spent in the best attitudes, if done in a sober and solemn spirit.' Now, ladies and gen tlemen, if you wish for health and long life, come to the Haymarket as often as you can. If but ten hearty laughs will do so much good, what will thirty or forty do? And these I can safely promise you here, in the course of any evening. " And now, ladies and gentlemen, for myself and com pany I return you many thanks for your kindness and patronage on all occasions, and, until next September, re spectfully bid you farewell." At the conclusion of this address Mr. Buckstone had, as usual, to undergo a series of botanical assaults in the shape of successive showers of nose gays, which came pouring upon him in radiant pro fusion from all parts of the house. He endured the visitation with Christian equanimity, and for a time " stood like Hobe scattering smiles around." At length he picked up his brilliant trophies, and, with his fragrant honours thick upon him, retired amid the enthusiastic plaudits of an exceedingly numerous audience. During Mr. Buckstone's sojourn on the 'Jontinent the Haymarket company will repair to the country, and give, under the skilful management of Mr. W. J. Wilde, a series of performances at the principal provincial towns, commencing at Birmingham on Monday next. - - RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BBIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The directors of this company have decided upon recom mending the payment of a dividend for the half-year end ing the 30th ult. of £2 10s. per cent, on the consolidated stock of tha company. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. One hundred and fifty smiths and artificers em plo)ed for a considerable period on permanent work at the Royal gun factories in Woolwich Arsenal, having been served with notices of dismissal, were yesterday discharged from the service. The manu facture of Armstrong guns having ceased at the commencement of the present year, the only work on hand, with the exception of repairs, is now some 300-pounder coast guns, a few specimens of experi mental muzzle-loading guns ou a principle proposed by the War Department, and the adjustment of Mr.Broadwell's system of breech-loading as adopted by the Russian Government. Many forges and other branches of the department are in consequence totally closed, and it is believed they will remain so until the new financial year. Mr. Anderson, the Superintendent acting since the resignation of Sir William Armstrong is still uninformed, it is stated, as the probability of his succeeding to the post, or whether he will be removed to head-quarters, as rumoured. No official information has been given to that effect, nor has the appointment been con firmed of Brigadier-Gen. St. George to the post of Superintendent-General of Warlike Stores, notified by the War Department as about to take place some months ago. Preparations were yesterday commenced in Woolwich dockyard for laying down the ways and erecting the cradle in preparation for the launch of the 21-gun corvette Wolverence, ordered to take place about the 20th of August. Two gangs of hired joiners and shipwrights were yesterday engaged and placed on board for the purpose of preparing the launch for the time proposed. The operation of scraping down the sides and bottom of her Majesty's iron screw steam store ship Industry, in dock at Woolwich, was com menced yesterday on her return voyage from the Island of Ascension. The Industry has been coated on the port side with a composition produced in the dockyard, on the starboard side with Peacock's com position, and in the hold with Day's marine cement for resisting the influence of moisture and the effects of bilge water on the rivets. Day's cement has been pronounced superior to anything yet tested for the purpose. It adheres so well that its removal could only be accomplished by means of a hammer and chisel. Peacock's composition is also reported to be highly effective. The Royal paddle yacht Osborne, Master-Com mander Geo. K. Bower, made an official trial of her machinery at Portsmouth yesterday, under the superintence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia and the Steam Reserve, on the completion of her general repairs and her fit ment with new wheels on the feathering float prin ciple by Messrs. Maudslay, Field, and Son, Mr. Field, jun., representing the firm on the trial. The yacht was complete in coal and stores of every de scription for sea service, and her draught of water was—forward, 14ft. Gin., and aft. 14ft. 1, 1 ,-in. The new wheels are 28ft. in diameter, with a breadth of float of 3ft. Gin., and a length of 10ft. 7in., the im mersion of the upper edge of the lower float being Sin. The diameter of the new wheel is thus about 18in. less than the old wheels. Six runs were made at the measured mile with full boiler power, giving the fol lowing results in knots-12.413, 12.203, 12.766, 11.841, 13.186, and 11.501. Four runs at half-boiler power gave 12.456, 12,045, 12.406, and 9.207. The revolutions of the engines at full power ranged from 211 to 221, and at half-power remained steady at 181. The speed attained by the yacht with her new wheels is nearly three-quarters of a knot in excess of what she realised when a new vessel 20 years since, and the trial may therefore be consi dered in the highest degree satisfactory. On Tuesday last, by the afternoon's tide, her Ma jesty's ship Majestic, Capt. E. A. Inglefield, left her moorings in the Mersey, and proceeded to sea on her summer cruise. She sailed for Holyhead, having i❑ tow her tender, the gunboat Goshawk, Lieute nant Cheek. It is expected that the Majestic will be absent from Liverpool for about two months. The Pheasant screw gunboat, 60-horse power, with condensing engines, on Tuesday made a trial of her machinery on the completion of her outfit. The vessel drew 6ft. 6in. forward, and Ott. Bin. aft. Six runs were made at the mile, and a speed ob tained, as a mean of the six, of 7.544 knots. The screw of the vessel is of the common pattern, with a diameter of 6ft. and a pitch of Bft., a length of llin., and an immersion of the upper edge of 2in. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday : Richard T. Bridgford, assistant surgeon, to the Cam bridge. Charles L. Cunningham, assistant surgeon, to the Wyo. P. Hutchinson, of the Himalaya, W. 11. Banbury, of the Dart, J. Rice, of the Asia (supernumerary), H. Benbow, of the Cornwallis, W. Inglis (a), of the Osprey,:J.

The 20th Regiment will embark at Portsmouth for foreign service on the 22d and 25th inst. The Gith Regiment will arrive in Portsmouth garrison for permanent duty from Aldershott on the Ist proximo. Orders have been received at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment from the Horse Guards, directing a number of the most ex perienced telegraphists, who have completed their course of instruction at the School of Telegraphy, Brompton Barracks, to be selected from the compa nies at headquarters, to be despatched to Turkey to assist in laying down a telegraph line through that country and Persia to India. The non-cora commissioned officers and men selected for this duty wilt be absent from England for several years, and in consequence of the arduous nature of the undertaking on which they will be engaged, they will receive a high rate of pay. It is ex pected that the expedition to be despatched from Chatham will be occupied for about five years in the undertaking. PEAR-TREES.—On the subject of fruit trees, botanists are divided into two parties ; one, which maybe called the Linnroan party, admits the variability of species ; the other denies it. Hence, while the former con tents itself with few species, each comprising numerous varieties, the other counts a large number of species, which it declares to have existed ab initio, and not to have de scended by slow degrees from any of the other species. M. Decaisne, in a paper communicated last week to the Aca demy of Sciences, endeavours to supply the positive proof of the variability of species, the want of which has always been triumphantly pointed out by the latter party. In the case e of the pear-tree for instance, if this proof be wanting,st _ number of species will amount to upwards of O s °, all of which according to M. Jordan, of LYI must be assumed to date from the antediluviantinents to period. The following are M. Decaisne's show the fallacy of these views. In 1 the Bose different varieties, viz., the old Englishdpoeef a cinnamon pear, which is shaped like a calabash and and streaked colour ; the Belle Alliance, which is roundish pear, which is yellow and red ; and, lastly, the tt T, four trees grown 853eLPres;re we d f 0 u r almost a wild species.

The Belle larger than the others, different varieties, none resembling flatter, and a fourth havin g Alliance yielded nine these one is twice as large as the the original one; gastrhoeuusual shape of a one of which was so like three differenttypes, produced latter, and another is bergamot shaped. The Bose variety o f those obtained one - I mistaken for varieti es , ono of whi ch bore a marked r esemblance to the b u t also in the leaf, the general appearance of th e s n a t int..acrinain k i n d. The difference wa s no t perceptible in the fruit of ripening. Every on e o f th e trees thetree,andthevariousbelieveothersn sapo, enumerates a , h pear, nor does he admit that the pips of a good pear will d pro uce the wild plant, as is generally supposed. From all this M. Decaisne concludes that the theory of invariable species ie unfounded, ABINGDON RACES-WEDNESDAY. A Handicap Sweepstakes of 3 soya each, with 25 added ; winners extra.

The only buying business we have heard of consists in the execution of some small orders which were pressing, and for these sellers exacted rather full rates. Where there is any pressure to sell the advan tage has been the other way. In cloths for the home trade and for the smaller foreign markets there is no change either as to prices or demand. The depression in these goods is quite as great as it was last week. There is no possi bility of giving quotations, because there are no offers on a sufficient scale to test values. Buyers appear to lack confidence enough to enter upon any operations of magnitude, and but few of them are making any inquiries for goods.

ROCHDALE, 13th—There is a good demand for flannels, and both plain and fancy goods sell well. Considering the quantity of goods in the market to-day a full amount of business was done. Prices are very firm, and in some instances they have an upward tendency. Yorkshire goods continue to sell well, and of some kinds, such as linseys and scourers, there is a scarcity. In the wool market there is no change, prices being steady and the de mand good. The Supposed Murder at Islington. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester resumed the inquiry at the Florence Tavern, Florence-street, Islington, relative to the discovery of the mutilated remains of Elizabeth Hunter, aged eight years, which were found buried in the nursery grounds of Mr, George Roe, of William-street, under cir cumstances already detailed. The jury having viewed the nursery ground, on their re turn the coroner opened the case by referring to the mass of evidence taken at the last examination, which tended to show without doubt that the remains were those of Eliza beth Hunter. Mr. Dickie, barrister, attended to watch the case on be half of Clarke, the suspected man, and Mr. Humphrey, of the firm of Humphrey and Morgan, for Mr. Roe. Charlotte Hunter, sister to the deceased, repeated her former evidence as to a man having decayed her sister away on pretence of sending her on an errand, but said she would not know the man again. _ _ The mother and father of the deceased were also examined, but gave no evidence tending to throw any light on the mystery. Mr. George Poe, on being sworn, said the jaw of a child had been found since the last sitting. It had apparently been moved from the skull, as it was close to the spot where the skull was dug up. By the Coroner—Witness had suspicion of a person named William Clarke, who at the time in question had to attend to the fire in the stove and in the adjoining office. He kept the keys of the office and the garden, and in the morning let the men in. He had exclusive entrance to the office, which led to the greenhow e. He did not sleep in the office. Witness had found a memorandum book which en abled him to state that William Clarke did not sleep in the house as usual on the night of the 30th of March, for he had been with witness during the day visiting two other nurseries. 'Witness being in ill-health he told Clarke that if he did not return before 10 o'clock the door would be closed against him. He returned, witness thought, about midnight, for he heard the housekeeper refuse to admit him, and he went away. He had the keys of the garden with him. (Memorandum produced.) Witness had known of Clarke having, on on:, occasion, taken a child into that very house where the remains of the child were found. That was on the 9th October, 1861. Clarke was present when the child told witness about the treatment she had received, and he would produce the memorandum which he had taken from the lips of the child in the presence of Clarke. He then read the document, to the effect that on that day Clarke met her in George-street and asked her to take a letter to the nursery, 19, William-street. He took her into the greenhouse and put a handkerchief over her mouth, when she screamed, and he then opened the door. Clarke, after some hesitation, said , it was quite true. Sergeant Langley, detective officer from Scotland -yard, produced a report of that case, and also another, but upon which no prosecution was entered into. William Wiseman, inspector of the N div ision of pofereo; On Monday the 6th July, having rece ived inforraation li Mr. Martin he sent two constables to the grounds by Mr. Roe, and they there found the s kull.
