In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June 1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an average of the different Ages ;- and two subsequent divisions of nearly equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842. On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of 81 per cent. was de clared on the 7th of June, upon the premiums received on Policies which had been in force seven years and upwards at Christmas 1842, and such return is now payable at this office daily (Friday and Sa turday excepted) between the hours of ten and three o'clock ;• or by the respective agents in the country.

THE SKIN AND COMPLEXION LOWLAND'S LOTION.—The use of Gowland's Lotion is speedily followed by the disappearance of every species of eruptive malady, discolouration, &c., and the establishment of a pure surface of the skin, accompanied by the brilliant circulation which constitutes the tint of beauty, whilst as a refresher it preserves the most delicate complexion, and sustains to a protracted period the softness f and vivacity peculiar to earlier years.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. LLOYD'S EUXESIS, FOR SHAVING WITHOUT THE USE OF SOAP OR WATER, with greater comfort, and in much less time than is usually required. Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have skin of thin texture, and suffer from irritation caused by Soaps (though of the most emollient kind) and the friction of the Razor, will be most agreeably surprised at the absence of these inconveniences iu the.use of the Euxesis ; for its peculiar property is, to leave the face beautifully smooth and soft, and more capable of resisting the effects of sudden transitions from heat to cold, experienced in a variable climate, like our own. The Euxesis may be safely used at Sea, in the East or West Indies, and all the Colonies, as climate will not deterioate its qualities, or time de predate its value 1 CALCUTTA.

SHIPMENTS OF ALE O INDIA. U nder this head Messrs. Bass have attempted to take an &Ivan. Ogg i n publishi ng t h e experts of Messrs. Allsopp from the Ist of Tiaetober to the let of February last.

Which increased business obliged them to make. It is necessary to ot/ serve, however, that there is great possibility of error in arriving tt the correct account of exports of Beer, and on this account sts. Allsopp h ave not ventured to publish the shipments from 1842 to 1843, lest they should not be strictly correct, but from Oa t o_ber, 1841, t o O ctober, 1442, they were as follows, as admitted by alessrs. ,Base : Bombay Madras and Calcutta.

For a considerable time Past.thste has been, "on -the part of a large proportion of the public, a growinafeeling of the want of a Periodical accommodated to the character of the times. The professedly reli gious Magazines have been chiefly devoted to theological subjects, and generally address themselves to the peculiar views of one sect ; and the Literary, Scientific, and Political Journals—though some of them conducted with admirable talent—have excluded religion alto gether from their pages, or allowed it only a subordinate place ; and no attempt has been hitherto made to meet the increased intelligence in connection with the strong religious feelings of the age. To remedy these defects the present Work has been undertaken. It is not intended to be a Theological Journal. No subject that can oc cupy the interest of a well-cultivated mind will be excludod ; but topics of every kind will be treated of by individuals accustomed to view them in their highest relations ; and Papers of a more strictly religious character will be frequently introduced. In discussing religious subjects, there will be no attempt to advo cate the distinguishing peculiarities of any particular sect, and a re-. ference will be made only.to those.great principles upon which all the Evangelical Communions are agreed. Political questions will be 'considered, not so much in reference to the views of party, as to the virtue and happiness of the community ; and while, in this department, the work will be devoted to the main tenance of principles decidedly Liberal, those sentiments of religion and humanity will be inculcated which alone can make the wisest enactments permanently beneficial. In Literature, the moral and_relicieus_thicionexof_Works_nntler.. review will always be the first subject of consideratiou, and their literary merits will be discussed with a spirit of truthfulness and ear nestness which is not inconsistent with the lighter graces of criticism. The latest discoveries in mental and physical science will be regu larly nnfolned, by men themselves Of the highest inventive genius. In all departments individuals of the greatest celebrity in this, and in other countries, have promised to adorn our pages with their con tributions. Edinburgh :W. P. Kennedy.

LITERATURE. was riding late one day over a battle-field, gazing, stern and unmoved, over the dying and the dead that strewed the ground by thousands round about him, when, sud denly, " those Evening Bells" struck up a merry peal. The Emperor paused to listen: his heart was softened— memory was busy with the past: he was no longer the conqueror of Austerlitz, but the innocent, happy school boy at Brientz; and, dismounting from his horse, he seated himself on the stump of an old tree, and, to the astonishment of Rapp, who relates the circumstance, burst into tears.' Our gossip, a thing of shreds and patches,' is too long to tell of young Fergusson's early wonder at the power of the lever, and his thus acquired fondness for Natural Philosophy, and of other like sensuous influenees which have lit up a love for specific pursuits; but we cannot forego to speak of the influence of scenery on the mind, by pointing to the death of the restless Rousseau, who, a few minutes before he breathed his last, spoke thus to his wife:—' Be so good as to open the window, that I may have the pleasure of seeing once more the verdure of that field. How beautiful it is! How pure the air! How serene the sky! What magnificence in the aspect of nature! Look at the sun. whose smiling aspect seems to call me hence! God himself opens to me the bosom of his paternal goodness, and invites me to taste and enjoy, at last, that eternal tranquillity which I have so long and so ardently panted for.' It was on the Lake of Geneva that Byron corn : . posed the most beautiful portions of Chile Harold:' the soft beauties of the place seemed, for a time, to woo Milt from the reckless career he too much loved." Lord Rivers. Lord in Waiting. In the fourth carriage were Count Mercy d'Argenteau and Major d'Hanins de Moorkerke, Gentlemen in Waiting on the King of the Belgians ; Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in Waiting, and Major-General Wemyss, Equerry in IVaiting. The Queen and their Belgian Majesties were con d,tcted to their carriage by the Lord Chamberlain and the Vice-Chamberlain. The Royal party were escorted by a party of Light I).'agoons from Buckingham Palace to the terminus of the - Great 'Western railway, at Paddington, and left town by a special train, for Windsor Castle. A paragraph having appeared in some of the Morning Papers of yesterday, stating that the State Apartments at Windsor Castle will be open to the public on Good Friday, we have now authority to state that such will not be the case, but that the public will be admitted on Easter Sunday between the Church Services, and during the Easter week as usual. _ _ _ TIME VERSUS LlFE.—Sherwood, London, 1844. The author of this skilful treatise observes, in his preface, "the 'following pages, though the result of long practical observation, are presented in a form rather popular thak professional ; not because they are destitute of observations which may be useful to the practitioner, but beeause I consider that impor tant medical truths, where they are sufficiently simple, should be made to enlighten that public they are meant to benefit, rather than suffer refraction through any mediuM, however bright and pure." The great fault in most treatises of this sort is, that they are penned in too professional a spirit," and abound in technicalities intelligible only to the faculty ; but this is not the case with the work before us, which gives in simple and perspicuous terms such directions for the preservation of health as are likely to be most serviceable to the community. Thachapters on the effect of "Atmospheric Changes," on "Diet," and the best method of regulating it, and on the influence which age exercises on the "Digestive Organs," may be perused with great advantage by the reader, for they are evidently the result of long practical experi ence, and are wholly free from the crotchety theories in which medical treatises so often abound. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left her re sidence, Clarence House, St. James's, in a carriage and four, at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Kew. where the Royal Duchess partook of a dejeune with the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Kent af terwards proceeded to Frogmore Lodge, near Windsor, where her Royal Highness arrived, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson and Sir George Cooper.

Dedel had an interview with Lord Aberdeen yesterday at the Foreign-office.

HOOD'S MAGAZINE. We received this Magazine at so late an hour, that we were unable to. include. it arpoug our usual periodical notices of the month. Among the poetical contributors, we find Mrs. Norton, Messrs. Monck ton Milnes, Wood, Mackay, and Lover. The lady's poem is the best; it is intitled " How lately the Joy bells were ringing ;" and pourtrays in simple and touching language the death of a young and beautiful woman shortly after her marriage. We subjoin the closing lines : But an awful and glorious meeting Remaineth to comfort us yet, In a world where our hopes are not fleeting, Where the sunshine of joy shall not set. There, night shall be turned into morning, And Darkness give place unto Day, The bruising, the weeping, the scorning, The turmoil of life pass away. Them, gladly that innocent Spirit (Renewed by a Heavenly birth) Whole ages of bliss shall inherit For an hour of sorrow on Earth ! Yet hard is the Parents' deep anguish Though by Faith, and Religion beguiled Long, long must they sorrow and languish And yearn for their beautiful child. - And long,—for his heart is but human, — The desolate bridegroom shall grieve, And that sweet face, half child and half woman, Still haunt him at morning and eve : ..At the sound of her light footsteps falling He shall murmur and smile in his sleep : In dreams he shall hear her voice calling And wake, to remember and weep ! The " Ship-breaker's yard" is a prose tale, or legen I, in which there is some good description mixed with much that is fantastic. A " Receipt for the Manu facture of Marriages" is a lively story, the dialogue poitions of which are neat and pointed, and appa rently without effort.. The " Matchmaker" is one of Mrs. Hall's knowing and good-natured sketches of character. The Editor contributes an allegorical poem on the " Workhouse Clock," blit it is not in his Most successful manner. Count Bjornstjerna, the Swedish Minister, accompa nied by Baron Stjernerona, transacted business yester day at the Foreign-office. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. — Her Majesty, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Belgians, arrived this afternoon at the Slough station of the Great Western Railway by a special train from town.

In an enlightened article on the " Irish Question," Which leads - Olhhis Number, and- is sinFularly_tm. perate in its tone, the writer, after observing that Ire land has been too long regarded in the House of Commons as a mere battle-field for party, goes on to state that the only effectual way of tranquillising that country is by paying prompt and diligent attention to the wants of the poor, for it is poverty that is there the fruitful parent of all agitation. " Want is a bad counsellor," adds the writer, " and Irishmen have had for many years no other. The lavish professions of the demagogue fall pleasantly on the ears of him who has never heard the words of encouragement from any other. Look upon Ireland, then, for once, with the eyes of benevolence and humanity, and not with the one-sided glance of a partisan. Help the people. In doing so, you will contribute largely to your own welfare and prosperity." There is much good sense in these remarks, and the time, we trust, is not far distant, when an English Minister will act in accord ance with them. " The Three Suitors" is a passable rhymed legend, written in the manner of Ingoldsby. " Southey , and his Poems" contains here and there some judicious critical comments, but, as a whole, its tone is too encomiastic. Mr. Anster's translation of Schiller's ballad of " Hero and Leander" is rendered with considerable spirit; we subjoin the closing stanzas : And the winds are hush'd—and panting Up the eastern pathway slanting Their course the steeds of Eos hold ; Ocean smoothes his face of terror-- Peaceful lies the mighty mirr Resting in his bed of old. Softly, with a playful murmur As upon the rocky strand Break the gently heaving billows, Lo ! they waft a corse to land. He it is, whose promise plighted Death bath seard ; and,—reunited Now,—one glance—she sees him there. Moan is none—nor tear-drop falling— Statue-like the heart appalling Chillness of that calm despair. From the wave that gives no comfort To the blank sky see her glance, And a glow of kindling triumph Lights her pallid countenance. " Powers, with whom is no relenting,— Unresenting,—unlamenting,- 1 bow me to the will divine. Ended is my course full early, ;3ut I loved, and was loved, dearly, And Life's fairest lot was mine. Venus ! while I lived, true priestess Of thy temple I have been, And I die, a willing victim, Thine in death, celestial queen !" With hair flying and robes floating From the turret, self-devoting, ! she plunges in the wave, — And, their holy forms receiving, Ocean's God, in triumph heaving, Bears them onward—is their grave. Pontus, with the rich spoil laden, Thrills, his living depths below, Pouring from his urn exhaustless Streams that will not cease to flow. SPORTING MAGAZINE. The present month's Number of this periodical is embellished with two engravings, one representing a " Gamekeeper on duty"—that is to say, keeping a sharp look-out with his gun in his hand and his dogs behind him, in the centre of a thick woodland pre serve—and the other representing a view of " Izaac Walton's Cottage," which is a snug, unassuming, thatched farm-house, shaded with lofty trees. The literary contents ace all, as usual, taken up with sporting themes. BRITISH FARMER'S MAGAZINE. A Magazine exclusively devoted to the consideration of Agricultural subjects, which it discusses in a true, practical manner. The observations on " Grass•lands" are full of useful suggestions for farmers. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. The details of the recent " Operations of our Indian army in Gwallior," will be read at this particular sea son with great interest, more particularly as they are penned in a dispassionate spirit, and wholly free from anything like a party bias. Of the remaining articles the most entertaining one is an essay " On the Intel lectual Powers of the Negro," of which the author is disposed to think more favourably than the gene rality of people. FREEMASON'S QUARTERLY REVIEW. Under the head of " Masonic Chit-chat" this number contains a variety of amusing anecdotes, chiefly relative to freemasonry, which will serve the purpose of whiling away an idle half-hour very agree ably. The statements respecting " Freemasonry in Europe during the past century " furnish some i curi ous matter ; but decidedly the best article n the Number is an " Essay on Education," from the pen of Dr. Slade. BRITISH MAGAZINE. An article Some Notices of the Early Colonial Church" leads off this Number, but, we fear, it will be attractive to few but clerical readers. The " Two Claudes " is a passable poem ; and the digest of ecclesiastical intelligence for the past month is drawn up with skill and succinctness. NEW MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLER There are several agreeable prose tales in this Number, chiefly of a sentimental character, together with a skilfully versified poem,_ addressed to the Editor—or rather Editress—by Leitch Ritchie. •By way of embellishment there is a beautiful fancy por trait, a half-length, of a young girl, who is repre sented kneeling before a crucifix, near an open window. CHRISTIAN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This is the Fourth Number of an ecclesiastical, edu cational, literary record and miscellany, and contains, inter alia, a careful digest of all the clerical intelli gence of the past month. Among the original com munications is a " Secret History of Tractarianism," which takes a decided anti-Pusey view of the question, COLONIAL MAGAZINE. We have here one of the best of the numerous cheap magazines devoted to the consideration of colonial questions. The present Number furnishes us with some entertaining matter of information as regards the "Dutch Settlements in Asia." COURT CIRCULAR.

In the second carriage were their Royal Highnesses the Prince of \Vales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, and the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. In the third carriage were the Baroness d'Hoogvorst, Lady in Waiting on the Queen of the Belgians, the Hon. Miss Paget, and the Hon. Miss Murray, Maids of Honour in Waiting, and UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. We find here, among other articles,aprivaie Jour nal of the late Sir Thos. Picton, kept with great regu larity during 1809 and the four following years. We looked into it with some curiosity, but were greatly disappointed in our expectations, for it contains not one single trait of character, being, in fact, a mere dry, dull summary of proceedings from month to month, to which not the slightest public interest is attached. The account of the " Conspiracy of the Russian Nobility," on the accession of the present Emperor to the throne, is related in a most careful and circumstantial Manner. We quote the following passage, which corroborates what we stated yesterday in The Sun, respecting the conduct of the Etnperor Nicholas when the news of the breaking out of the conspiracy first reached him - The Marquis de Custine,-in his recent book on Rus sia, gives us a dialogue between himself and the Em peror Nicholas, in which the former alludes to those events, as having furnished an occasion on which the latter had distinguished himself in the eyes of all Europe by his firmness and his courage. It is difficult to tell how much per cent. of the unmeasured flattery which the Marquis showers on his Imperial host is intended as waggery, as undoubtedly, from the subsequent portions of his book, we must judge a large portion of it to be ; but it appears that the Emperor took all this adulation as genuine. His behaviour on this occasion is the sub ject on which Nicholas is said to be most accessible to flattery, and we may therefore readily imagine the one on which he is most generally flattered. It is cited both by his admirers and his detractors, anti not, perhaps, inaptly by either, as he found here the opportunity of displaying the most salient features of his character, — both good and bad. We shall leave to the reader the appreciation of which predominates. The resolute firm ness, the energetic activity, which be displayed, saved not only his absolute crown, but his life ; uncertain as he was what mines might explode beneath his footsteps, he disdained all compromise, and boldly cast the die for ' unlimited power or utter ruin. On the other hand, in the face of his army, this man, who for years has never quitted his uniform, who idolises all that is martial, w h o looks in stature and in port a Cceur-de-Lion, as soon as his faithful force began to act, retired thus far from the scene of action as to place himself in indivi dual safety,—thus affording us a spectacle of moral courage and firmness, and physical timidity, not inse parable, though seldom united. From this day's beha vious his friends and foes deduce arguments to assert his courage or his cowardice, but it would appear that he is endowed with that species of the former which is really valuable in a leader of men, but deficient in that personal valour which is quite unconnected with the for mer, but which men are apt to prize, both in themselves and others, as if it were a quality less common," TAIT' S MAGAZINE. Mrs. Gore—one of the most prolific as she is one of the most brilliant novelists of the day—here re sumes her story of " Blanks and Prizes," which is more remarkable for the ease and vivacity of its style, than the freshness or the individuality of its character. Doctor Toddles is a passable portrait, but the rest of the personages have few, if any, strong distinctive peculiarities. " Music" is, as the author justly calls it, " a rhapsody," rather than a poem. The lines are slovenly, and the sentiments much too exaggerated in their character. A " Summer at Port Philip" gives apparently an impartial account of the present state of things in that remote colony, where, we are told, " the possession of five thousand pounds enables a man to make a rapid fortune." Not withstanding this statement, we should conceive that a man with such a sum in his possession would act far more wisely to turn it to account in his own coun try, than to speculate with it in such a distant, half formed colony as that of Port Philip. " Sketch of the Irish Great Debate" in the House of Commons last month is moderate in its tone, but somewhat heavy. A few apt sketches of character, which might easily have been introduced, would have added greatly to its interest. The writer justly observes that the political and religious temper cf the House is much improved of late years, and that angry bursts of bigotry and intolerance are no longer received with favour. We quote the following passage from a read able essay entitled "A Gossip on Sensuous Influences." The reference in it to "Napoleon and the village bells of Brientz"—it should have been Brienne—is taken, word for word, without acknowledgment, from the " Old Manor House"—a story which appeared in Blackwood's Magazine some seven or eight years since : " Beethoven loved to wander forth by himself. The hollow moanings of the coming storm, the whistlings of the agitated trees, the flowing stream, the gushing waterfall, the song of birds, the hum of voices, and the thousand things which fall upon the ear, filled him with delight, and imbued him with those wild and wondrous combinations which astonish and plea se every lover of music. The grand compositions of Handel were sug gested by the hum and noise of London, as he himself states in a letter to Lady Luxborough ; while Gluck, the composer of the operas, Artaxerxes,' Demetrius in Venice,' and "rhe Fall of the Giants,' was accus tomed to have his piandotte carried, on a fine day, into some beautiful meadow, fancying himself more capable (f composing when under the influence of flowers and sunshine. Sarti, the Imperial. Chapel Master at St. Petersburg, loved the mysterious gloom of a badly -I:glited room; and the eloquent Bossuet, and the no less brilliant Curran, prepared for their or a t or i ca l display by wild and extemporaneous airson the violoncello. Music is a sensuous influence which powerfully excites the mind; even the,philosophic Bacon found his ideas more rife, and his capacity for writing increased, by having an organ played in the adjacent room ; and, happily , mu sic is not limited to the pealing tones of the organ, the soft breathings of the lute, the stirring appeals of the trumpet, or the lively strings of the violin—there is music in the passing breeze and gushing rill, in the song of birds and hum of bees, and in the village bells, as they echo along the plain; and even on the battle fleld has their influence been felt: for who forgets the anecdote of Napoleon and the village bells of Brieutz?" lie ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. We yesteMay, by invitation of Mr. Batty, the spirited Lessee of Astley's, visited the Royal Amphitheatre, for the purpose of inspecting the numerous alterations and improvements (and in this case all the alterations are improvements) which have been made in the interior during the recess. Finding that during the last season the theatre was not sufficiently commodious for the ac commodation of its numerous visitors (how many of our metropolitan managers would be glad to have 'the same cause of complaint), Mr. Batty during the recess engaged Messrs: Hayward and Nixon to re-construct the whole interior of the theatre, and the result of their labours has been to make Astley's one of the most splendid, the most commodious, and the most comfortable of metropolitan theatres. The pit ha, been entirely re-constructed, so as to afford increased accommodation to a much greater number of visitors, and this without at all encroaching on the arena devoted to the exhibition of feats of horsemanship. The seats in the pit are fitted up with backs, and screens are erected to protect the visitors from those unpleasant draughts of cold air to which they were subjected last season. The proscenium, too, is entirely remodelled. Two elegant composite pilastres, with gilt capitals and bases, arise on each side of the stage, and between them are the proscenium boxes, the fronts of which are ornamented with velvet and gold. New private boxes have also been fitted up, and hung with rich and tasteful draperies. That huge, lumbering, unsightly affair, with its heavy dust-collecting draperies, which occupied the centre of the dress-circle, and which was denominated the Royal box, has been removed, thus rendering tin appearance of the theatre lighter and more tasteful, and at the same time giving to the public some twenty of the best places in the theatre. The whole front of the audience-part of the house has been brought forward, and the space thus gained will afford ac commodation to nearly two hundred persons additional while at the same time the lobbies have been enlarged, and the space devoted to the accommodation of each in dividual has been increased. The visitors to the boxes will be no longer "cribbed, cabined, and confined," as they were last season, for even the generation of the long legs will now find " ample room and verge enough" to take their case as they sit and witness the perform. ances. The galleries also have been enlarged, and are so constructed as to command a perfect view of the circle and of the stage, even from the very back seats. The fronts of the boxes and gallery are elegantly orna mented with arabesque paintings upon a light-coloured ground. Instead of the old entrance to the circle from under the stage, a new entrance has been constructed on the left hand of the proscenium. This new entrance is in the form of an elegant Roman archway. A new dome ceil ing has likewise been erected. This ceiling is divided into compartments, each containing a classical tableau, painted on a light-coloured ground. From the centre is suspended a magnificent new cut-glass chandelier, one of the most splendid we have ever seen, whilst fourteen elegant cut-glass lustres are suspended from brackets over the dress circle. The boxes have been entirely newly papered in the most tasteful manner imaginable, and Astley's may now be pronounced one of the most elegant, and, at the same time, one of the most com fortable theatres in Europe. Great credit is due to Mr. Batty for the spirited and enterprising manner in which he has hitherto conducted this theatre. The last season was a most successful one ; and he has shown his gra titude to his patrons, in the most substantial manner in his power, by providing them increased means of accommodation and comfort, of which they will no doubt gladly avail themselves. We have heard great things of the grand national spectacle which is to be produced on Easter Monday, and we have no doubt, from Mr. Batty's well-earned fame as a successful caterer for the public amusement, that the most sanguine ex pectations will be more than realised. DUTCH PAPERS. THE lIAGUE, MARCH 31.—Her Royal Highness Prin cess Albert of Russia arrived here this morning. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 30.—The Utrecht Morning Paper of to-day says that it had received information that the loan was not only filled up, but that a larger sum had been subscribed than was required. It sets down the sums said to be taken by the several cities and provinces, amounting in all to 138 millions. The Ilandlesblad says, " We are authorised to declare that thii statement is entirely incorrect. THE HAGUE, MARCH 29.—1 t is confidently asserted that, to the day before yesterday, it was known to the Government that about 73 millions were subscribed to the loan. The subscriptions made in this town yesterday were very numerous. ROTTERDAM, MARCH 29.—1 t is said that the sub scriptions to the loan made her e y ester day (the last dav) were very considerable. The total amount sub scribed here is supposed to be about ten millions. Ace ;tints from Batavia up to the 2d of December report several encounters between his Majesty's naval force and th e pirates, many of .whom were taken prisoners, and likewise a great mae persons whom they had carried off from different isla. s were restored to liberty.

II ."0" 7 ' LAUNCH OF THE BOSCAWEN, SEVENTY GUNS. WOOLWICH, APRIL 3. = At an early hour this morn ing numbers of persons arrived at Woolwich, and cv. my hour, up to one o'clock, P.M., added to the numbers in compound proportion, all apparently anxious to be pre sent to witness the interesting spectacle of the launch of a man-of-war, and shortly after eleven o'clock carrieges began to set down the fashionable' families who had ob tained tickets of entry to the enclosed galleries, and before one o'clock all the seats and standing room wat occupied with a most brilliant assembly, which was greatly enlivened by the presence of the bright uniforms ot officers of almost all ranks in the army and navy, and so dense was . the crowd continually pressing onward, that many were disappointed, being. unable to move forward to witness the launch, which took place precisely at one o'eloek, rather sooner than originally contemplated. la the course of the forenoon it was ascertained that the vessel had began to stretch upon the few remaiiiina; bearers left previous to the launch, and that it would la impossible to retain her with safety much beyond one o'clock, and consequently the gates were thrown op , n at an earlier hour by the older of Sir Francis Collier, Cap tain Superintendent, and it would have been scarce'y possible for one hundred more to have had a sight of the launch, had ten thousand at rived at a later hour. When all was ready for knocking out the dog-slier s. the Countess of Haddington, Lady of the First Lord , ,. the Admiralty, escorted by Commodore Sir Francis Col lier and Mr. Oliver Long, master shipwright, occupi! d a station at the bow of the vessel, and a bottle of wine hay ing been opened, the Countess of Haddington drunk— " Success to the Boscawen," and immediately after broke the bottle of wine on the vessel, and in a few seeoiats the dog-shores were struck, and the majestic ship glided into the river Thames, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled spectators, the band of the Royal Marines playina. " Rule Britannia." The Monkey steam-vessel took the Boscawen in tow shortly after the launch, and she now remains moored alongside the Liebe, with the Royal Standard, the Admiralty flag, and two Union flags Hying on her jury-masts. Several steam-boats arrirei in good time to allow the passengers on their densely crowded decks to witness the whole of the spectticle, i wing to their excellent position on the river ; but others were so late as only to be able to see the Boscawen after she en tered the river. The passengers on 'board in some degree made up for their disappointment, by sailing round and afterwards going on board the newly-launched man-of war, to inspect the whole of the interior of that fine sa sel. Other parties went over the whole of the Dockyard, and all appeared delighted with the fineness of the day and the animated scene. The Mastiff, surveying vessel, and the Sulphur, devoted to the apprentices of the engineering department, were decorated with a vs riety of flags, and the latter, froni her cloie proximity to the launch, was filled with a number of fashional) families, for whom every arrangement was made fi r their comfort by Commander Smith, who has charge of the vessel. The arrangements of the harbour-master, river, and local police, together with those attached to 'the dockyard, were admirably made for the public ac commodation, and the whole went off in a satisfactory manner. Notwithstanding the immense crowds, and with the exception of a few purse and pocket handker chief abstractors, several of whom were detected exer cising their vocation, and promptly taken before Mr. ' Jeremy, the Magistrate, to be dealt with according to law, there did not appear to be any other interruption to the pleasure of all during the day.

THE NEW EXPERIMENTAL BRIGS. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 2.—The Osprey, built by Mr. Blake, the master builder of this yard, and the Daring, built, by Mr. White, the eminent yacht builder, were floated Mit of dock this morning, and brought into the basin ; the Darin.- ' under the sheers to be masted. Both vessels are very beauti tilul, their models symmetrical, and do much credit to their talented constructors ; so nearly balanced ate their apparent respective perfections and capabilities that na val men in general are at a loss to which vessel to give the preference, though they are diametrically different in their formations, as is evident from their relative light flotation draft of water, which is as follows : Osprey ft. in: ft. lir. Light water draft aft l2 7 „ forward 8 6 Vessels by the stern... 4 1 The bottom of the Daring is formed like the bottom of a yacht cutter, and is altogether very similar to tint constructor's far-famed brig the Water Witch, and the sits on the water very much by the stern, as wi'l be seen by her draft as above. The Osprey is very dissimilar, having a much longer floor, and, in our opinion, has a bottom better calculate.' for large vessels ; she sits gracefully on the water, amd her formation, although essentially different, reminds us more of the Inconstant than any vessel we have )et seen. As to their sailing no one can form any opinion about their respective merits ; they will both have the. ame yards and masts, their sails will be the same, anti the weight they have on board will be the same ; muck then will depend on the placing of the masts and ship's stowaCe. We give their dimensions as near as we can get thrtn; they are not far from being correct, and will be suffi ciently so to show the proportions of the vessels : Daring. Osprey. ft. in. ft. in.

Do. do. do. to tafrail 25 7 ... 25 Tons Both vessels have been built by job work ; the Dar ing was commenced the 9th of October last—the Osprey the 26th of December last, consequently has been built in the short space of three months. Their, armament will consist of 10 32-pound guns of: 25 cwt., and two long 18-pounders, with a complement on: 130 men. It will be seen by their tonnage that these 12-car, brigs are about 40 tons larger than the old-fashioned 18- gun sloop brig class that did so much good service last war, and were famed for their fast sailing, their safety, and good sea-boat qualities, which have not as yet been surpassed by any of the more modern brigs. The Flying Fish, the surveyor's 12-gun brig, will be launched at Pembroke to-morrow, between half-past four and five o'clock, P.m., when she will be taken charge of by Mr. Brown, the Assistant-Master-Attendant of Ports mouth, who, with forty riggers and men from the Vic tory, arrived at Pembroke on the 30th ult., in the Lively lighter, and be navigated to Portsmouth. The Adventure, transport, was expected at Pembroke► on Sunday last, with the masts, yards, and gear, for the Flying Fish, but she will not be there for a day or two, as she did not leave Devonport until last Friday. The appointment of Mr. Calhoun to the office of Secretary of State, by President Tyler, is a very important. though unaccountable step on the part of that functionary: Hitherto, the Tylers, at least the President's son and his organs of the press, have been thundering upon the Texas and Oregon questions, as if nothing less than war and defi ance to England could please the head of the State. Yet now he selects one of the most moderate and able states men to occupy the important post of Secretary of State during the opening negotiations with Mr. Pakenham. The terrible catastrophe of the Princeton seems to have recalled the American President from those extravagant ideas which party, especially on the eve of a Presidential election, in,'. spires in America, to sound, sober, and purely patriotic views. Although Mr. Calhoun be the staunch opponent of prohibi tion, little is to be hoped, even from him, in obtaining, this session, a repeal or a modification of the tariff. Should this certainty not prevent his acceptance of office, the influence of . a man so sensible, so modest, and able, cannot but be felt in t the important matters pending between the . two countries:. The greatest danger, in negotiations or difference witlk America, is that of falling upon ignorant and bigotted minds. With any of the enlightened statesmen of America there• is little fear of our remaining differences with that county y begetting serious or hostile consequences. It is worthy of' re mark that, notwithstanding bluster and party, the Ameriearnl select their ablest men to conduct a negotiation with Lis, Mr. Webster was pitted in the Maine question with Lord Ashburton, whose merit with the Tories was his being no. diplomatist. Mr. Calhoun, a worthy rival of Mr. Webster, his now to deal with Mr. Pakenham.—Chronicle. T HE Toun DE NESLE.—The Journal des Debate publishes the following details relative to the modern Tour de Nesle :—The investigation of this affair, which, on account of its disgusting details, appears to belong to another century, is pursued with much activity. It would appear, according to recent discoveries, that this mysterious association had other ramifications in the interior of Paris, and that the individuals of which it was composed were divided into bands, and placed under the command of a chief. It was from this modern drama, whose eccentricity, perhaps, developed the monstrous excesses which followed, that they borrowed the names under which they divided their different sections. Thus there was the Tour de Nesle, situate Rue du Pot-de- Fer, St. Marcel; the Taverne d'Orsini, Rue de Lourcine; and two other seetions, whose position has not yet been discovered, and which were designatei under the names: of the Bastile and the Chambre Ardente. The leader.or this secret society for debauchery assumed the title of Buridan, and his companion styled herself Marguerite de Bourgoyne. There were women amongst the society, and they were not less indefatigable in placing those whom they caught in their snares in the most degraded position. The woman who presided at the orgies of a, second class section was called the Marchioness de Br',v villiers. In order to escape detection the membe . les o f one section passed alternately from one to the otl'.er, and for fear of being surprised, they had guards whom they named night-watchers, and who patrolled 'round the place where those frightful mysteries were otlebrated in order to give alarm on the appearance of danger. This office was filled by neophytes who aspired to form part of the society, and who thus execute a, species of novi ciate. We are assured that it was not only women of obscure station who were brought into those dens, 'out even some who held a certain position in society, but who not wishing to appear in a court of justice, have denied all knowledge of the facts, and have thus impel-eel the march of justice. To the present moment 18 ind.;.vldnails, men and women, belonging to the association, of the Tour de Nesle,' have been arrested." THE WEATHER.—Yesterday was possibly the finest day of the year. The thermometer, at two o'clock, stood at 65—a summer heat—the wind was frc,m the south west, the sky clear, and, of course, bright sunshine. During the night., the moon shone with a peculiar hrightne,se, there was not a cloud in the sky, and the stillness and beauty of the scene resembled the most beautiful evenings in the So Ith o Italy,
