If the effect of the proposed retirement scheme were only to remove in the persons of the older post-captains the otherwise inseparable im pediment to the employment of the younger ones, who, from connexion or interest, have already jumped over the heads of older and better officers, in the shape of commanders and first lieutenants, who have seen a great deal of real service, and earned their experience—aA their wounds, their honours--and their infirmities in the bard fighting of the last war, ° or hard service upon foreign sta tions since, in crazy craft or with short complements of men ; that which we were disposed to hail as a well-timed and generous boon to the service, would be, indeed, but an ela borate insult on some of the most meritorious ornaments of their profession. But we cannot liep thinking that this would be a most illiberal assumption. It is evi dent that with sufficient plausibility we might go beyond it, and infer that the Lords of the Admiralty meant to justify their present limitation of the re tirement list on the trite axiom " that a line must be drawn somewhere." They might, if they were so minded, reply to all remonstrance on the subject, " that, admitting the merits of the petitioners or remonstrants who thought themselves aggrieved by the exclusion now complained of, yet, if Govern ment did not draw the line between post-captains and com manders, neither could they between commanders and first lieutenants, nor between first lieutenants and masters, whose terms of service, good conduct, &c., were equal." Now, we look for better things at the hands of Sir GEORGE COCK mum, from his personal knowledge and experience of a profession which boasts no more distinguished member than himself ; and at those of the Earl of HADDUNGTON, than whom we do not believe a more considerate or disinterested servant of the Crown can be named. " JUSTITIA " must make allowances, we fear, for the time it takes to apply the screw with effect to such a seasoned piece of official toughness and insensibility as the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and he may be assured, fair and ably stated as his appeal is, that if the First and Second Lords are essential to a good and beneficial working triumvi rate at the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the all-indispensable and vivifying element of such a body. We shall wait a little, therefore, to watch the course of pend ing deliberations at Whitehall before we recur to this inte resting subject. The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 15th, is des titute of interest. No business was done on the Bourse during the 15th. Several of the Paris journals, and among the rest the Journal des Debuts, show that during the visit of the Duke DE Ni soon to the south of France, his Royal Highness had occasion to listen to other addresses than those of congratula tion and flattery. On the 16th the Congress of Wine-growers held their annual meeting, and seized the opportunity of the Duke's presence to represent to him the deplorable condition of the wine trade. A deputation was appointed for the pur pose, who stated that the department of the Gironde, though one of the richest in France, was overwhelmed with mortgage debts ; that the wine trade in place of improving, was rapidly declining; that they were reduced to the brink of ruin, caused chiefly by the suicidal conduct of the Legis lature, in prohibiting trade with foreign countries. "At home," they said, "the returns show that the wine interests form a melancholy contrast to the general pros perity. While foreign countries thus repel our productions, because they are driven away from our own frontiers by pro tecting tariffs which are out of all bounds, the interior legis !ation of our country commits the double injustice of exact ing enormous imposts from us, and of restricting the con sumption of our productions, which alone furnish us the means of paying them. After having paid for our lands, bearing vines, a higher impost than is exacted from other lands, our produce is condemned to support exclusively, from their ori gin till the period of their being consumed, fifteen different indirect imposts, which yield a profit of 1,006 millions to the state, and 25 millions to the towns. The imports on our pro ductions vary, according to circumstances, from 120 to 136 per cent. on the value." This is an enormous amount, and when the falling off in the trade is taken into account, the condition of these landed proprietors must indeed be deplora ble. The following statements show the great decline which has taken place in the exports of wine and brandy : Venezuelan, at 18%; Mexican, at 32% Stock, at 5.

The exports to Sweden and Norway, which in 1840, 1841, and 1342, varied between 6,000 and 7,000 hectolitres, fell in 1844 to 3,700 hectolitres. " The exports to the Hans towns amounted in 1823 to 167,000 ; 1832, 165,000 ; 1833, 238,000 ; 1840, 125,0.J0 ; 1841, 117,000 ; 1842, 89,000 ; 1843, 77,000 ; 1844, 73,000 hectolitres.

" Almost everywhere else, as to the United States, the Brazils, Mexico, and the Spanish American colonies, the result is similar both in respect to wine and brandy." His Royal Highness, in reply, lamented the present depres sion of the wine trade, and promised to give the subject his most serious consideration, at the same time informing the deputation, of which they seemed aware, that any change depended on the votes of the two Chambers. The following extract from the Journal des Debats leaves little doubt that the discussions in the Saxon Chambers during the present session will possess deep interest for Germany : " We perceive, by letters from Dresden, of the 15th instant, that the events at Leipsic, which excited so lively an agitation through out Saxony, will probably be the object of grave deliberations in the states of that country. Already the preliminary labours of the Chamber of Deputies show that the Government will meet with a strong opposition there. It is a matter of notoriety that in Saxony, as in France under the Restoration, the Chamber of Deputies sends in a list of candidates for the President's chair, out of which the Ring makes a choice. Up to the present period, through re- I spect for the majority, the King has always named a candidate placed at the head of the list submitted to him by the Chamber of Deputies. On till occasion the Chamber had chosen, by a plurality of votes, M. Haase, deputy for Leipsic, and who formed one of the deputation sent by that city to the King on the late disturbances, which deputation threw the whole responsibility on the Government and the military authorities. The King, to manifest his great dissa tisfaction at the city of Leipsie and its Deputy, put aside M. Ilaase, and named M. Braun, who was the second on the list, President. It so happens that this choice is a great triumph for the Opposition, as M. Braun is ()nett the most determined adversaries of the Government.

THE OVERLAND :MAIL. By the present an ival we have intelligence from China to the 12th June, Calcutta August 7, Madras August 14th, and Bombay August 6th. It is of little importance. The state of the Punjaub remains the same—and the whole of India remained perfectly tranquil. Sir henry Ilardinge still remained quiet at Calcutta, carrying out plans for the edu cation of the natives, and the improvement of the country. Never was there such a peaceful Goveinor-General as this active soldier, who had mixed in so many battles, and dis tinguished himself in almost every engagement. It was said be might probably leave Calcutta about the 25th of Septem ber, on a visit to the district of Lahore. The news from China is without interest. Exchange at Calcutta was 1 11 to 1 114 for ten monthr. We are so far from thinking lightly of what the Admiralty have done within the last twelve months to repair the de fective condition of her MAJESTT'S navy, and to introduce sound improvements into some of the most important details of the service, that our desire is rather to ex press our gratitude for the zeal and earnestness with which they have applied themselves to a vigilant and assiduous administration of all duties of their depart ment. This gratitude, however, 'is not unmixed with a confident hope that the scope of the Board's exertions will be yet very considerably enlarged; and allowing, as all aus must do, for the consumption of time inseparable from the necessity of replacing the whole, or parts only, of the extensive action of an inefficient but complicated system, by new machinery and a more intelligent direction of it; we still COURT CIRCULAR. 98% .• 00000 •••••••• 47 The Queen and Prince Albeit took a drive in a pony car riage on Monday afternoon.

But vast as is the responsibility attaching to the manifold duties of the service they preside over, the praise and respect of their fellow-countrymen may well suffice as adequate inducement to any amount of increased efforts on their part to consolidate the strength, uphold the efficiency, and renew and concentrate the vital energies of our maritime power. We concur, therefore, with our correspon dent " Juiscrma," in appealing to the Admiralty "to go on with the good work which they have so boldly begun." To this end no influence can be so advantageously brought to act upon them, or upon any branch of theExecu ttve, as that of pu bli c opinion.

There are accounts of May 6 from Hobart Town, Van Dieman's Land, but they furnish very little information on subjects of general interest. The colony was progressing in its industrial resources, and the leading and most seneus matter of complaint among the Van Dieman's Land people seems to be the excess of the convict population, which was become dangerous alike to the morality and tranquillity of the island. A considerable increase has lately taken place in the trade between the Madeiras and this country, and some fine vessels are about being fitted out to convey the produce of that rich island to this country.

By a royal decree bearing date the 18th, and published on the 29th of August, the duties on and sundry colonial articles have been reduced nearly 60 per cent , a reduction most important to trade, particularly as indicative of a change in the measures which the Neapolitan Government has so obstinately clung to from time immemorial. It is said the King is determined not to continue in the old courses, and that now, by the new treaty conclude d with England, he is at liberty to do as he pleaces, and that we shall see great changes in these matters. So it is that the example of England, based on broad and liberal principles of commer cial policy, sheds its beneficial influence over all connected with her. We doubt not that these new measures will greatly increase trade, and benefit the poor consumers of Naples, who have hitherto been squeezed—for what ?To benefit the smugglers, who it is well known in that country have long ruled the roast to the detriment of every body else—the King at the head of them. To England the great importance of the fish trade with Naples is well known, and we shall pro bably be the first to benefit by the change—as we ought. Nor is this all : in Sicily, this month, the King took off the export duty on sulphur, which made such a noise some time ago, and which was said to give employment to 200 or 400 British ships in the season ; this, no doubt, will now return to its former importance. The charges, too, in the Porto Franco of Messina, have been very largely reduced or abolished ; and to the Maltese this will be a great facility. Who could have looked for such things from Naples some time ago? This is afair subject of triumph to Peel's Government, for the perseverance which they have been so long working on these matters. The following is a translation of the decree:— " Ferdinand 11., by the grace of God, King of the kingdom of the two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, &c., Duke of Parma, Phicenza, Castro, &c. &c., Grand Hereditary Prince of Tuscany, &c. &c.

What would the " Man of Feeling," who wrote a sentimental description of the horrors of Bedlam sixty years ago, with its ferocious maniacs, and more ferocious keepers—its cells, and straw, and chains, and scourges—have said to such an invitation! In one of the richest and most beautiful vicinages of London, about a mile up the bill from Sion House, shaded and dig nified by oaks, ancient elms, and blooming horse-chestnut., and adorned by shrubbery, flower-bed, and general vernal verdure, we found Wykehouse, a seat of the Earl of Jersey, and rented by Dr. Costello, as an establishment for the safety and cure of the richer insane. The bell at the gate was an swered by a servant, who conducted us to the house through a perfect flush of lilacs, laburnums, rhododendrons, and flowering shrubs of all descriptions ; and, as one symptom of the safety - of the place, we met a nurse carrying an infant, a child of flie doctor's. As the family had begun dinner, we were introduced at once to the dining-room, in which sat at table the master aid mistress of the house, with eight gentlemen, all patients. We were cordially received by cur host and his lady, and introduced to the rest of the company, who rose to welcome us. During the meal, we were the objects of much polite attention. Each individual seemed to wish to take his share of the duty of dispensing hospitalities; offering the condiments, recommending the dish near him, remarking on the topics of the season and the day, nd showing much curiosity to hear our news and ascertain our sentiments. During the time we were at table, not a word, look, or gesture occurred which could have raised the slightest suspicion that we were not in the company of the perfectly sane. One of the patients, a clergyman, who performs the religious exercises of the house, including a sermon on Sunday, was asked to return thanks, which he did with becoming reverence, when the eight gen tlemen rose and retired from the table, leaving us with our .. r TtrY no The penalty ofneglect or delay on this point,wh en not lor°, l or fatal, will be to reduce the brain, the organ of the illinu r ' s s.• ruin, which no effort of skill or kindness can eii - it s The proper use, therefore of the time for m edical t_ re o s ment is all important.

" But where shall we look for such a well orgerused tern of moral management for the rich and the elev. as will meet the wants and habits of this class? TI-us te.;:: cos in fact, the grand desideratum, the difficulty to be ,Pt vided for. Where are we to find the ever-watchful itineotters —the considerate forbearance in the discharge of daties,ses irksome, harassing, and even dangerous—the ready ;'" We tiveness to suggest new thoughts to cheer and amuse; si ck shall look for them in vain in the crippled resources .., orwhete objects, in the private lodging or the private familY , wed the rich man is doomed to solitary confinement in a 11101,,n,..is form, and in the dreariness of his isolation, to expi ate ' - "ser finnity as if it had been a crime.

With us, alas! it will contins se prevail until the apathy, ignorance, and selfish extensively provide such a doom for fellow-creaturds, ; i ll might still envoy the benefit of superior arrangements', fe • il• have disappeared, and given place to sounder views gnu ings on this subject." t of The author advances a new idea, the voluntary re !A the "nervous"—those (and they are many) who d re s 3 ,ssels coming disease—to the care and treatment of a ss r,Sible; asylum.

"But these benefits, important a s s ors are, would not be the sole ones resulting from` change of the law. The very character of the 0 " , ,,,, to would be changed.

I in host and hostess. We were in a spacious and elegant dining-room built by the celebrated " Jack Robinson," who, before Joseph Hume's time, feathered his nest from the consolidated fund to so au daci,us an extent, that Sheridan called the attention of Par liament to his practices; and when challenged to name the delinquent, declined, though he added he could as easily have named him as say "Jack Robinson." The dining-room was built for the visits of George 111., of whom Robinson was a favourite He built extensive ranges of bedrooms in barrack fashion for numerous guests of rank, of whom his lavish house was always full ; which apartments have been found conveniently convertible to the present purposes of the mansion. Before leaving the table for a walk in the grounds and gardens, we were favoured by our host with a brief exposition of his mode of dealing with his patients, powerfully suggesting the advance which has been made in the treatment of the insane during the last fifty years. The inmates of this establishment are under no personal restraint whatever. There is not a strait-waistcoat, a belt, or pair of hand-mufflers, under the roof. Taking advantage of the fact, that there is much more sanity than insanity in the great majority of the insane, and of the improved - knowledge now ac quired on the nature of insanity itself, the paroxysms of which alone require watching, Dr. and Mrs. Costello (for the lady does a large and most important part of the duty) direct all their moral energies upon the balance of sanity remaining in the patient's favour, and always with the most satisfactory results. Confidence is re posed ; the patient's word of honour is trusted to, and seldom if ever broken. The beautiful grounds and gardens are freely ranged ; even the neighbourhood is free to some. An elegant drawing-room, where the lady presides, is open the place secures decorum. The lady's power is an interesting phenomenon ; it seems to be, and really is, greater than her husband's. None but gentlemen can eome into her mild and gentle presence ; and we were assured that a look from her, still more, a quiet caution, will check a strong man who may for the moment be in danger of forgetting himself. it is re markable how seldom the hallucinations of the patients come out into the dining-room or drawing-room. These are voted " parish business," and a bore ; and although one of the party might just have discovered the longi tude or the perpetual motion, another received the thanks of Parliament for a victory, or a third a judg ment in Chancery, declaring him master of millions, not a word would be heard on those tempting topics in the drawing-room or at the dinner-table of Wykehouse. A breach of these mild yet rigid laws would be followed by the temporary exclusion of the individual, with the full approbation of the rest. Abuse of liberty is punished by narrowing by degrees its limits, till it is at last circum scribed by the wall of a paved court. No one needs to stay long there ; but enlargement has its conditions, perfectly intelligible to every patient in the establishment. When we walked out, we saw some of the gentlemen playing with the child, others reading in the beautiful groves, and three or four assisting Mrs. Costello to cull and pack an enormous bouquet of lilacs and hawthorn blossom for a jar in the drawing-room. We joined the party, and assisted, and were much struck with the gallantry, politeness, and respect with which the lady was treated. This direction of female influence is a new element in its various applications in society. It re forms the imprisoned criminal ; it purifies and huma nises the educators of the young of the rougher sex ; it exercises a power over the insane themselves that renders them as pliant as children. Yet Mrs. Costello is a slight, little woman, whom any one of the subjects over whom she rules could annihilate in an instant. In deed, we should say that the insane are peculiarly amen able to just such an influence ; for th• it malady in most cases produces a simplicity of general character, often almost child-like. We assembled at tea in the drawing-room, and en joyed an hour of general conversation, when the party again dispersed through the grounds ; and as we drove off in the twilight of a beautiful June evening, we had hands held out to us by the near, and hats lifted by the distant, till the gate shut behind us, and we were on our road to London. On our way, Dr. Costello, who accompanied us, showed us a villa or cottage a mile or two from Wykehouse, which, on account of its romantic groves and large lake teeming with fish, he has taken on lease, as a sort of occasional holiday and pic-nic resort for his well-behaved patients. Dr. Costello had just then published a letter to Lord Ashley, on the reform of private asylums for the insane. A copy of that pamphlet is now before us. It is an appeal in behalf of the rich insane for legislative protection. The Bill lately introduced by Lord Ashley contemplates chiefly the insane poor; not observing the fallacy, that, because the sane rich are well able to take care of them selves, the insane rich must be so too. There is, unfor tunately, a prejudice which leads the friends of the in sane to seek extreme privacy for them, and thus they become exposed not merely to inadequate accommoda tion and treatment, but all the imaginable evils attend ing their becoming objects of speculation. Dr. Costello t exposes the deficiencies of the generality of private houses for the insane, and recommends the ample and interesting scenery which is found in his own esta blishment. Private asylums should never be in cities ; they should be in cheerful rural situations, where the inmates may avail themselves of the composing and health-re stor.ng effects of husbandry and gardening. Within doors, the patient should find no deprivation of his ac customed conveniences, comforts, luxuries, and even elegancies ; but rather an improvement in them all. While deprecating the idea of surrounding the patient of condition with unnecessary deprivations in, externals. the author says—" While delirium runs high, it is true, external objects will be too little noticed to suggest un favourable comparisons ; but this stage is often evanes cent, oft= only periodical, and the bitter pang is felt in full force when the mist begins to clear away. The poor derive benefit from the better food and better care of the public asylum, and can we doubt the influence of causes relatively the same in regard to the rich ? The internal arrangements, therefore, of a private asylum, should be in accordance with the tastes and occupations of the inmates ; and the tedium of uniformity must be prevented by such aids as are employed for the same purpose in every-day life. Billiards, books, and music, are not enough. There must be social re-unions, and even dancing, with a view to affording opportunities of mixing in the society of persons of sound mind. This is a point in the moral treatment of great importance. To have the world and its recreations brought, from time to time, into contact with the insane, is less valuable even as an amusement or a pastime, than as a means of satisfying them, especially when allowed to meet their friends or relatives, not only that they are not forgotten, but that their return to that world, its business and its duties, is still looked for with anxiety and delight. How much of happi ness, how much of sanity, do they secure by this oft-pre sented idea I "If one could forget early impre sions, and in stances of proved delinquency in some ill-conducted establish ments, we shouldmodify our feelings in a great degree as re gards private asylums. Proofs of the most interesting de scription abound, to show that these are anything but places to inspire horror. " When well-conducted, and there are many such, mirth and cheerfulness—not forced or feigned —appear to be pervading influence. Lasting friendships are often formed; and many whom restored mental health recalls to the world, experience lively and sincere regrets in parting with those whose care or companionship had so laced them under so heavy a dispensation ; and many, too, would remain, preferring to any other abode that which friends had consigned them to in the hour of affliction. " The farni'y group in an asylum is, or ought to be, as sociated in conversation, light reading, and all the diversified occupations that embellish refined society, with no other restraint than what individual circumstances may require, and the enlightened kindness of the head of the house may dictate. "In this ideal of an establishment, the patients are the guests and associates of the physician and his family, and without such dictatorship and association it cannot be re alised. In his own person are combined the charac ters of parent, friend, guide, and physician, and this amounts to saying that he is indispensable. To him is assigned the task of moderating the impressions from without—of regulating, through the medium of his own family, the desirable degree of intercourse with the world ; his table and his family circle are the sole, safe chan nels for such intercourse. Here the first public efforts of a returning healthy mental activity meets its needed encou ragements, and here. too, the poor sufferer, doomed never to know the delights of recovery, experiences protection, and even pleasure, to the full measure of his blighted faculties. Advantages so obviou ly desirable are placed completely, and perhaps voluntarily. out of the reach of patients kept at home or in private families, and the case is even worse where they are confided to keepers or servants, with the occasional attendance of a medical man. Under such circum stances, cure is not -only . likely to be marred. but it may be wilfully and maliciously prevented. The continued employment of these attendants depends on the con tinuation of the malady; the resources available for moral treatment from uninterrupted intercourse with persons of their own station, are wasted, from their inferiority of social position, want of education, or irritability of disposition, which in the circumstances we are contemplating, is uncon trolled, and therefore the more likely to arise. Fretfulness and bickering, as permanent conditions of the patient's mind, induced by the small excesses of an unreasoning domestic authority, which he is ever ready to dispute, either in fear or in anger, can have so other than unfavourable conse quences. He distrusts and dreads his attendant, and the latter, goaded by what he considers injustice and ingratitude in the patient, gives way to peevishness, and, by way of beginning the monotony of the occupation, repays him with sour looks, coarse , and contemptuous language, neglect, or something worse. The effect of treatment in which caprice and recrimi nation, waywardness, and spite, hold such unhappy sway, may be easily foreseen. The patient has none of the repose so essential to comfort, and indispensable for recovery. His views of things, a l rea dy prismatised by a disordered brain, are still more bewildered by the false position in which he is placed, and the unfavourable circumstances by which he is surrounded. The time when cure was possible passes quickly away; the excitement subsides into a calm; the disease changes its character; the acute is followed by the chronic stagea and the brightness of the mind is dimmed for ever." The author states the argument for the early treatment of insanity as concisely as powerfully :—" The protection of the brain fium the effects of the high irritation and congestion that prevail in the acute stage of mania, can only be secured by vigorous and prompt medical treatment at the very outset.

CATTLE SLIOW AT BALLINASLOE.—At a meeting of the council of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, held on Thursday last, the secretary was directed, by a resolution agreed upon, to write a circular to every local branch of the society in Ire land, and require all the Information that can be collected in each district, with as much accuracy as possible as to the condition of the potatu crop, and the extent and progress of the prevailing disease in that esculent, with the view to a general and authentic report upon this important subject. With respect to the approaching show at Ballinasloe, the secretary stated that the entries of cattle amounted to upwards of 600, far exceeding any former year, there being 250 Cheep n alone entered, the finest supply ever seen at any show in the United Kingdom.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 21. THE LATE REAR-ADMIRAL MAITLAND.—A very beautiful white marble memorial has been placed in the chapel of this dockyard to the memory of the above gallant and distinguished officer, who presided in the office of Admiral-Superintendent in this great arsenal from 1832 to 1837, and left behind him a reputation for benevolence, goodness of heart, and humanity towards all those placed under him, which will never be forgotten while a man remains in the establishment who was employed dur ing the time of his government. With other circumstances which have atta2ted fame and honour to the name of the gallant deceased is associated one which must hand down Isis name to posterity, as connected with the most remarkable events of modern times; we al lude to the fact of Napoleon having surrendered to him on board the Bellerophon, 78, after the disastrous affair of Waterloo, when off Rochfort, on the 15th of July, 1815, as inscribed at the foot of the memorial. The work does infinite credit to the abilities and taste of the artist (Mr. T. Campbell, of Great Marlborough-street, London), and represents, in alto reliero, the bust of the Ad miral in his uniform beneath the folds of a cloak. The like ness is very correct, exhibiting the staid and determined character of the officer, yet blended with that expression of kindness for which the man was so well known and beloved. 'i he work will for years to come recal many recollections of bygone days in the memory of very many among the arti sans of the dockyard, who will have it so frequently before 212% 55 18% 3271 17% 2% 129% 9O 143 414, 74 34 75% 4 2% 3i -- 76 1 % 4 2 1 A 25 1 2 10 1 3 4 SO 15% 6% 5% 4% 20% 5 3 4 31/4 t b em. The following inscription is chiselled on the base : " To the memory of " Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland, "K.C.8., S.T., F.il., and B.G. " This gallant and distinguished officer was most actively employed during the wiro!e period of his career, and served in every clime. He entered the naval setvice early in life ; was a midshipman on board the Southampton in the action of the Ist of June, 1794 ; commanded a division of gun boats in Egypt in 1801; and when in command of the Bellerophon, off Rochfort, Napo!ettn Bonaparte, after his de feat at Waterloo, surrendered to him on the 15th of July, 1815. He was Admiral-Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard from the year 1832 to 1837, and Commander-in- Chief in India from that date to the period of his decease. "He died at sea, off Bombay, on the 30th of November, 1839, aged sixty-two. "In testimony (,f their deep sorrow, and to record their admiration of his talents, his firmness, his gallantry, and his worth, this memorial was placed here by his brother-officers, followers, and friends." A court martial, comprising Rear-Admiral Sir Lucius Cur tis, Bart., Superintendent of Malta dockyard, President ; Captain Rich, of the Formidable; Captain Richards, of the Hibernia; Commander Harry Edgell, of the Siren; Com mander Wise, of the Formidable ; and Mr. W. H. Brown, Purser, of the Ceylon, Judge-Advocate ; assembled on board the Amazon,; 26, ,Pptain Stopford, in Valetta Harbour, Malta, on the' melting of the 27th ult., to try Geo. White, of the Amazon. able seaman, on the following charges, pre- feired by his captain, Jame. Stopford " 1. That on the evening of the 29th of May, the ship being at anchor off the town of Smyrna, he did, when doing duty as coxswain of the gig, make use of mutinous language when ordered by Lieutenant Thomas R. Downes, the senior Lieutenant, to pull a certain number of times round the nearest vessel, as a punishment for making a noise in coming alongside, and that he took the command of the said gig out of the hands of the Hon. H. F. Deane, naval cadet, under whose orders she had been placed, and obliged him, the said Hon. H. F. Deane, to land. " 2. That he did on the same evening desert, and entice the rest of the boat's crew to desert, and run away with the said gig, and did not return until brought back to the ship on the afternoon of the 31st." The Court, having heard the evidence of the first-lieutenant and the Hon. Mr. Deane, of the Amazon, and what the prisoner had to say in reply to the charges, was of opinion that the prisoner was not guilty of having used mutinous language to Lieutenant Downes when ordered punishment, but that he was guilty of having used mutinous words to the Hon. Mr. Deane, whom he had disobeyed and dispossessed in his command of, and landed him from the boat; and that he had deserted and enticed others to desert, in breach of the first part of the 16th, the 19th, and the latter part of the 22d Articles of War (excluding any breach of the 15th). The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that the said George White should suffer death by being hanged by the neck from the yard-arm of such vessel as tl:e Commander-in- Chief might be pleased to order and direct; but from the circumstances of the case, the Court strongly recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Admiralty. The Mutine, 12, Commander Cranford, put into '1 able Bay on the 17th ult , having been ashore while chasing a slaver, which she made a prize of, with 450 slaves on board. Owing to her leaking very much she was to be hove down, when, if her damage was discovered to be considerable, she was to sail for England to repair it. The Vindictive, 50, Captain Seymour, bearing the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Austen, was at Ha lifax on the Ist it:stant. The Scylla, 16, Commander Sharpe, was to sail on the sth for England, her period of service hav- ing expired. The Comet, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretty man, left yesterday for Plymouth, with supernumeraries for the experiinental squadron. The Wasp, 16, commander Ussher, captured on the Ist of June, off Lagos, a Brazilian slaver, a new and beautiful ves sel. She sent her to Sierra Leone, where she arrived on the 16th, and was condemned on the 24th. APPOINTMENTS.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Rear- Admiral man d er -in- Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station,Com mander-in- and acting Commander-in -Chief and Admiral-Superintendent at this port, has gone on Admiralty leave this day. His flag was struck on board the President, 50, Captain Stanley (hi s fl ag - s hip), this evening at sunset.' Four of the advanced ships at this port are ordered to be still further advanced by leaving their topmasts fitted. They are the Britannia, 120; 'Vengeance, 84; .Bellerophon, 78 ; and the Pembroke. 72. The Nelson, 120, advancing in the basin, is ordered to be docked to have her bottom examined, and to complete repairs. The Admiralty have not yet decided whether the Neptune, 120, or this ship shall be the fla g -shi p for Admiral Sir C harles Ogle, the nominated successor to Sir Charles Rowley, as Corw mander-in-Chief at this port ; or whether the St. Vincent shall be retained for that duty. The Carysiort, 26, has been removed from the basin under the shears to be masted, when she will be ready for commission. The Harlequin. 16, was taken into dock this morning to be fitted for the pendant. The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander Macdonald, hav ing completed her refit, and replenished stores and provisions, sailed this morning to resume her protection of the fisheries on the Sussex coast. 'the Dasher steamer, Commander Sherrineharre left this morning to resume her surveying duties in the Solent. The Fairy, royal yacht tender, Master-Commander Ro berts, came up on Saturday from Cowes. She returned this morning, and again came into harbour at noon. She came as far as Fort Moncton under canvass as well as steam. Her speed appeared extraordinarily great. She landed dispatches and returned to Osborne this afternoon. She will shortly be laid up for the winter. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, sailed from Spithead this morning for Cork, where she will embark de tachments of the 73d for service at the Cape of Good Hope. She got under way about half-past ten o'clock. The Earl of Hardwicke, In liaman, Captain Drew, a splen dled vessel of 1,300 tons, the property of Mr. Green, of Blackwell, got under w a y three- q uarters of an hour before the Apollo, and waited for her to have a trial of sailing down the Channel. They both stood off on the starboard tack together, close hauled, wind W.N.W., then stood in again, when the wind shifted to W.S.W., they stood off again at 2 40 P.M., when the wind again changed to W.N.W.,_ as at starting. The Earl of Hardwi , ke went to windward until 3 lest., when the Apollo went to windward of her, hand over hand. The Apollo is considered a " crack" sailer, and was chosen in 1819 by George IV. f.a. the royal yacht, and fitted up with- great magnificence in this harbour for the royal especial service, but she never carried his Majesty to sea, and was dismantled, after vast sums of money had been expended upon her. A screw-propelled steam-frigate, to carry 36 guns, is or dered to be laid down on the design of Mr. Finchato, master shipwright of this dockyard, in the same dock the Centaur now occupies, on the latter vessel being floated out. Her tim bers are-ready, and arranged on either side of the dock. The Lame, 18, Commander Brisbane, arrived at St. He lena on the 24th of July from the Island of Ascension. The Princeza, the prize captured by the Mu'ine, 12, Com mander Crawford, arrived at St. Helena from Madagascar on the 23d of July, and was sent on the following day to Sierra Leone for adjudication. The Albatross, 16, Commander Yorke, arrived at St. He lena from Benguela on the 25th of July. The Batt naval lighter, Sweetman master, arrived last night from Deptford, with victualling stores for the Royal Clarence-yard. She reports that on Friday afternoon, as she was coming down Sea-reach, on her way from Deptford to Gosport, a seaman named Alexander Germain, whilst heav ing the lead, fell overboard and sank immediately. The mate, Thomas Hassard, who was at the helm, instantly jumped into a boat astern to render assistanee, but his promp titude was unavailing, as be never saw Germain again. The under-cu rre nt runs very strong at the spot where the unfor tunate man went overboard, and is supposed to have carried him beyond the reach of human aid. The crew of the Batt " crepe' f.,r the body for some hours, but without success. The drowned man was aged twenty-six, a native of Alver. stoke, near Gosport, and a very steady character. He has unfortunately left a wife and three young children nap h as for. The Athol troy-ship. Master -Commander Pearn, remains at Spithead awaiting orders. DEVONPORT.—The Experimental Squadron arrived here before daylight on Saturday morning, the St. Vincent lead ing, attended by the Rattler and Stromboli steamers. The St. Vincent saluted the flag of Admiral Sir John West, Com mander-in. Cief; and the Urania (Neapolitan frigate) sa luted the flag of Rear-Admiral Parker (who continues very unwell). The Commander in-Chief, Sir John West, struck his flag (blue at the main) on board the an Sylph te hoisted it nd er,on at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday morning, d board the Queen, 110—his intended flag-shipas Commander - in - Chief of Admiral Parker struck his flag , the Experimental Squadron, at sunset on Saturday evening; and Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pyea took up the command, hoisting his flag (red at the wizen) on board the St. Vincent. During the absence of Rear-Admiral Pym in commend of the squadron, the duties of Superintendent of this Dockyard will be conducted by Mr. Lonsdale, Master-Attendant. The court-martial ordered to be held at Co.k on Lieutenant Leigh, of the Stromboli steam -sloop, for st. ikieg a stoker, but postponed in consequence of an informality in the war rant, will now be held on board the flag-ship at this port. Mr. Mills, late Master of the San Josef, is appointed addi tional Master to the Caledonia for service ashore, for which be will receive, in addition to his pay, W. per snow. 1 20 2 47 Pilchards, small (Salacchini), id 1 20 2 47 Stockfish, the Cantaro 3 5 08 Vaniglia, the Rotolo 1 80 2 78 Sugar, of whatsoever kind, in pow der (polvere), the Cantaro lO 22 Sugar in loaves, id. Art. 3. It remains declared that on stock-fish and cod fish the drawback of the duty which, according to the note prefixed to the existing importation tariff, has heretofore been allowed, shall no longer be conceded, since in the reduction of the duties the allowance heretofore made of six carlini on cod-fish, and four carlini the cantaro on stock-fish has been taken into account, but in every other respect the dispositions in said Act contained, and those of the articles of the Customs laws of the 19th cf June, 1826, remain in force. " Art. 4. For the like reason set forth in the preceding ar ticle, upon the other articles above enumerated, on which the duty is reduced, no reduction of duty will be allowed by rea son of damage of whatsoever nature ; save the right of re exportation for articles declared as damaged in the terms of a regulation to be approved of by our Minister the Secretary of State for the Finances. " Art. 5. Our Minister, the Secretary of State for the Fi nances, and the lieutenant general of our royal dominions be yond the Faro, are charged with the execution of the present decree. " Naples, this 18th day oc August, 1845. (Signed) " FERDINAND." TROTTING MATCH.— On Monday a trotting match in harness came off at Mitcham-common, between Mr. Barton's brown horse and Mr. Dean's brown mare, for 101. aside. The con testing distance was four miles. The race commenced at a good pace, the mare completing the first mile in 3% minutes, with a lead of forty yards. The next mile was accomplished in 3 minutes anti 22 seconds, the mare still leading. Upon the approach to the third mile, the mare broke out to a gallop, and, being pulled in and turned, gave the horse an opportunity to make ground, and he took the lead, performing the third mile in 3 minutes and 29 seconds. When within half a mile of the goal, the mare had succeeded in coming up, and a sharp contest ensued the remaining distance, which terminated by the mare coming in the winner by twenty-five yards, and accom plishing the four miles of road in 14 minutes and 10 seconds. MYSTERIOUS DEATH BY DROWNING OF A CLERK IN THE ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE.—OH Monday Mr. Joseph Payne held a long inquest at the Newcastle Coffee-house, St. Mary at-Hill, Billingsgate, touching the death of Mr. Matthew Robins, aged forty, clerk in the Accountant-General's office, of the Court of Chancery. It appeared that deceased resided at No. 5, Elm-grove, Peckham, and at twelve o'clock ou Friday last, left that suburb, tell ing his brother that he was going to his office for some money, and intended to join his wife in the evening at a :riena's in town. He did not, however, go to his office, and at nine o'clock at night he was found by some watermen in the river, at the foot of the Custom House-stairs, to all appearance dead, but having his watch and money on his person. The evidence implied that the deceased might have been resuscitated had lie been properly dealt with when found; there was, however, no reason to conclude that he met with loul play. Under these circumstances the jury came to the verdict, " Found drowned, but how he came by his death there was no evidence to itow." DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS.— This venerable Bishop died yesterday, at Weston-super-Mare, Somer setshire, at the advanced age of 85 years. His episcopal duties, on account of his infirmities, have for some time past been performed by the Bishop of Salisbury. His Lordship was a Doctor of Divinity, a visitor of Wactham College. Ox;ord, F.R., A.S., and uncle to the Earl of Ellenborough. He was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1812, and translated to Bath and Wells In 1824. TIPPERARY MODE OF PAYING RENT.—In our publication of Saturday last an advertisement appeared for the sale of the produce of five fields of wheat, two fields of oats, and some hay, distrained by the receiver under the Court of Chancery for rent due on part of the Derry Castle estate', amounting to upwards of 2001., and which was to be sold by auction yesterday (Friday). Bailiffs to the number of seven were placed over the property, who visited it every day to see that all was right. On Friday morning, however, upon going to the lands, there was not a vestige of the pro duce to be seen—not a single straw was left behind—the lads having made clean work of it during the previous night, to the great dis appointment of the receiver, the auctioneer, and the bailiffs.—Nenagh Guardian. THE 57TH, OR " DIE-HARDS. " —The war-name of this distinguished corps was acquired, we believe, in the hard-fought battle of Albuera, where they are described in the Gazette to have fallen " as they stood in their ranks, with every wound in front." When there were only two subalterns—one of whom was severely wounded, but declined to give up the colours to " a sergeant "—sod about one hundred and fifty men of the whole regiment lett, they became impatient of their long and fatal stand-still tight, and, raising a spontaneous shout, rushed lute the bosom of the broad column opposed to them. It was at this moment, when the brave remnant of his regiment disappeared from his view, as if they had been swallowed up by the masws by which they were surrounded, that their wounded Colonel (Inglis) uttered the memorable exclama tion from which their name was taken—" Well done, my brave fel lows I—you'll die hard, at any rate 1" But they did not die. It is seldom that even thousands of Frenchmen have stood the charge of scores of British bayonets ; and the poor remnant of the " Die. hards" proved that fact upon this notable occasion—Duinfries paper. THE WATERLOO BARRACKS IN THE Tow - ER.— Since the first stone of these barracks was laid by the Duke of Wellington, iu June last, the works have been proceeded with vigo rously, and the building is now nearly one story high throughout. The structure was originally proposed to accommodate eight hundred and twenty-six men, but recent alterations have fitted it to receive nearly one thousand. The length in front is 2SB feet, and at the back 271 feet 8 inches. The width of the main building is 65 feet, but at the flanks it extends to 82 feet. The size of the principal rooms is 28 feet by 24. The floors are to be formed with iron girders and brick arches, so as to render the building fire-proof. The style of the building is castellated Gothic of the fifteenth century; the walls are faced with Kentish rag, and the dressings of the windows, doors, &c., are of Anston stone. Major Hall, as chief of the engineering department, is the director of the works ; Mr. W. Harrison the con tractor for masonry, brickwork, &e. ; and Mr. John Harrison for the carpenter's work. The total cost is estimated at nearly 50,0001. Many other works are contemplated In the Tower, involving a very large expenditure. IVo should be rejoiced to hear that they included the restoration of the keep known as the White Tower, which is at present a disgraceful monunriut of Ignorance and want of taste.— Toe Builder. THE NASSAU BALLOON.—Mr. Green made another ascent In the greatNassin balloon from Vauxha 11-gardens on Mon day. Arooagst the leading personages present we observed his Royal Ilighnesa Prince George of Cambridge, the Marquis of Worcester, ths Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Munster, &c. Large numbers were attracted to the gardens by the announcement that several persons on horseback would ride a steeple chase in whatever direction the balloon might proceed. Fearing that the public safety might be endangered by such a course, the magistrates of the dis trict remonstrated against it, and the proprietors of the gardens ac ceded to their wishes. Mr. Green effected a safe descent at twenty minutes past six o'clock, at Hinton's-field, Plumpstead-marsh. DIE RIVER PLATE.—Letters from Monte Video,. of the 2d of July, confirm the last accounts from Buenos Ayres as to the failure of Mr. Ouseley's attempt at negotiation, owing to General called diebed to 'togas refusing to yield one iota of his belligerent right?, including that of blockading Monte Video, and making the acknowledgment of those by France and England the condition of his treating at all with _ar L s iroelrdpoohittd Albion.bn them. The negotiations were, therefore, suspended. At Monte Video they were anxiously hoping that the English and French forces would commence acting.

The Governor of the island prepared a rights s pl a c g OZ palace, for the reception of his Highness, but he declined the favour of being allowed to communicate, owing to his desire of not in fringing on the quarantine regulations of the Porte.
