By the COURT—He never said anything about his state or death to me. the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's address, the Learned Judge informed the jury that in a case or such vital importance he thought it advisable not to commence the summing up at so late a period of the day, and also that it would be better for them not to enter into the con sideration of such a complicated case at a late hour of the night.

James Lark, inspector of police—l visited lliFadden on the Tuesday, in the middle of the forenoon. I had a conversation with him before he died. I told him that he would be provided for by the county ; he said, " it is of no use, I shan't want it." I lifted him out of bed, and when he was resting on my shoulder, he said, " It is all up with me." I told him he was se►erely wounded, I believed mortally. He made no reply, but slightly grasped my hand. Cross-examined—Soon after the last conversation I proposed to send for the priest. He said, " That's not of much use." I proposed at the same time to him to make a declaration before:a magistrate. He said, " I have no objection, but not yet." AlTadden was a Ro man Catholic. December 16. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS observed that, in his Opinic;n, the jury had acted wisely in agreeing to the adjourn ment, as it was not in the nature of things that, after an anxious cl.liberation of 13 or 14 hours, they could inves tigate fully, and with that care and attention which it required. His Lordship then said, it is clear that a robbery was committed on the night in question in Mrs. Button's barn by some one or other, and that ill'Fadden was watching the premises in the execution of his duty. If the deceased then saw a person or persons come to the premises, and believed that they were there for the pur pose of committing a robbery, he was authorised by law, and it was his duty, to endeavour to apprehend the risen ; and if in such attempt he was shot, and died in consequence, then the shooting was undoubtedly murder —of as foul a description as was known to the law, inas much as it was the offence of shooting a subordinate minister of the law. The Learned Counsel for the pri soner had very early in the course of his address stated that, although he (Mr. Justice Williams) had admitted statements made by the deceased after a certain period, yet that he had not defined what particular weight was to be attached to them. lie had not done so, considering that a point for their consideration. The admission of such declaration was certainly an exception to the general rule of the law. He had received the declarations of M'Fad den, because from his manner and demeanour it was evident lie was sensible his end was approaching. A dying declaration did not, however, go further than an oath. They next came to the evidence of the girl Bat wright, upon which they had been addressed with great ingenuity by the Learned Counsel, in a speech deserving great attention, and the testimony of this woman was certainly of great importance, and the case would depend much upon the degree of credit given to it. The Learned Judge, in conclusion, observed that it was clear on the evidence that an undoubted murder had been committed, and that the serious and important question for their consideration was, whether or not the prisoners at the bar, or either of them, were the persons who committed the murder. jr4 IFE ASSURANCE AND ANNUITY SOCIETY.

TITE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BEESTON. This morning, on his Lordship taking his seat upon the bench, Robert Lightfuot, station-master at Nottingham, was arraigned on the coroner's inquisition for that he, on the 21st of November last, in the parish of St. Mary's, did kill and slay John Dean. The prisoner, in a firm and distinct voice, pleaded Not Guilty. Robert Lightfoot and Jonathan Raven, station-master at Beeston, were then arraigned on the coroner's inqui sition for manslaughter, the former as causing the death of James Bolestridge, the latter us being present, aiding and assisting therein. It will be remembered the grand jury for the town ignored this bill on Saturday. Both prisoners having pleaded Not Guilty, Mr. WILDMAN, who held the brief for the prosecution, stated that in that case the jury were aware the bill had been thrown out, and under those circumstances it was not usual, unless there were some peculiarities about a case, to proceed with the same inquiry. Cer tainly he (Mr. Wildman) did not find any circum stances in the present case that would justify him in departing from the usual course, as his own opinion was, that it' the inquiry was proceeded with ho could not reasonably expect, after consuming a great quantity of time, to lay before them such facts as would induce them to come to the conclusion that beyond all reasonable doubt the prisoners had been guilty of gross and culpable negligence, and if there had been nothing more than an error of judgment, it would of course be their duty to find a verdict of acquittal, lie (the Learned Counsel), on looking at the evidence, could not but feel that in that case, although the pri soner Lightfoot might have been guilty of an error of judgment, still it was an error of judgment in which his own life was as much risked as that of any other person, for it appeared that so far from wishing to neglect his duty, he left the place where he might have continued, and exposed his own person in order to prevent the possibility of a disaster occurring, which it was no part of his duty to prevent. Under these circumstances, feeling Mr. Lightfoot might have been, and perhaps was, the cause of the accident under a most unfortu nate error of judgment, still it was impossible for him (Mr. Wildman) to say on his own private opinion that the prisoner had been guilty of culpable negligence ; therefore, he should not offer any evidence against him, and it would be the duty of the jury to find a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Justice PATTESON observed, there being no evi dence offered, the jury could do none other but return a verdict of acquittal in favour of both parties. The Foreman of the Jury—Not Guilty, my Lord. Mr. MILLER, who, with Mr. Mr. Macaulay, acted as counsel for Mr. Lightfoot, said he had the honour to appear on behalf of Mr. Lightfoot, and he fully believed that had the inquiry proceeded he was in possession of facts which would have shown that in that case, as in all others, he had acted as a faithful servant of the company, and that his conduct was not only not culpable, hut highly meritorious. He (Mr. Miller) had an application to make to his Lordship, which application was, that Mr. Lightfoot might be discharged instanter, and restored to liberty, to society, and to his friends. As a member of society, as the father of a family, his character was dear to him—it was dear also to that family and those friends; and he did hope his Lordship, who knew the facts of the case, would be enabled to state publicly that his (the Learned Counsel's) client left that court without a stain upon his character. Mr. Justice PATTESON then addressed Mr. Light foot as follows :—Mr. Robert Lightfoot, you understand the proceeding in this case ; that there was an indict dictment preferred respecting the death of James Bole stridge, to the grand jury of the town of Nottingham, which indictment they ignored. No evidence is offered against you with reference to the coroner's inquisition which sat on the body of James Bolstridge, and none will be offered, I dare say, in the case of Dean ; indeed, I think it probable no bill will be preferred in that case, but that was in the county. Mr. WlLD:wax—No, my Lord, no bill will be pre ferred. The Learned JuDGE said, after hearing it, that the evidence was sufficient to satisfy his mind, that on Tues day afternoon the deceased entertained no hope of re covery, and believed he was near death ; therefore he should receive in evidence any declaration made by the deceased at that time, but that he should reserve the point for the opinion of the judges. James Lark recalled—About six o'clock in the after noon I helped M'Fadden out of bed,. I had a conversation with hist after that. I asked him if ho knew the man who shot him. I asked him if it was correct what he told me as to the man who shot him. Before this he had mentioned the name of the person to me. He said " Yes, Howell." I said, " Where does he live ?" He said, "At Ilulver." I said, " Can you describe his dress ?" He said, " The man that wore a police hat and a long velvet coat down to his knees." I said, " Would you know him again if I could produce him ?" He said, " Yes, I should." By the COURT—I gave the name of another man, and asked him if that was not the man that shot him. He said, " He might be there, but he did not shoot me." This was after he mentioned the name of Howell. John Livett, labourer, of Gisleham, proved that Mr. Batton's barn was broken. _ _ Harriet Botwright—l lived at Hulver last July. I knew M'Fadden. I know the three prisoners at the bar. They lived in Mulford. I remember the Sanday when M'Fadden was shot; I was with M'Fadden. About three weeks before he was shot on Kessingland-common I was talking to him. William Howell came by riding in a pony cart. He drove quite close to M'Fadden, and he said, " Mind, old fellow, how you drive." William Howell said, " 1) my heart if I should not like to drive over you." M'Fadden said, " Mind, old fellow, what yov say. You would look rather queer if I summoned you for it." William Howell said, " my heart cold, if I should not like to do your business for you; d— my hearrcold if I do not the first opportunity." After these words Howell drove on. He was in liquor. On the Sunday I had been to Lowestoft, I left home about four o'clock. Before I got home I fell in with M'Fadden. I met him on the Kessingland turnpike, about half-past six o'clock. I was riding with a young man in a cart. I got out. I had some conversation with M'Fadden. I then got into the cart again, and went towards my own home. When I got home the door was closed, at eight o'clock. I then went across the marshes, past the pri soner's cottage. I was going to-yards Mulford street. I saw Mr. Shipley, who passed me. This was as I was going across the marshes, one marsh from his own home. I saw William Howell in hemp's-field. After crossing another marsh, I saw Walter Howell, just after they were going from their home towards Mulford Hall. I made for Mulford-street. This was between eight and nine o'ciock. I next saw William Howell and Shipley in a cart, after I had been at Mr. G. Criehmere's cottage half an hour, going in the direction of Mulford Church. I went to Carlton. I went across the fields. After I had been at Carlton I saw the prisoners at the Fire Cross ways, a mile and a half from Mrs. Button's, and Chil vers, Chamberlain, and William Cooper were with them. The two Ilowells and Shipley were upon their feet. I said nothing to them, nor they to me. I can't say the time. It was bright moonlight. I went to M'Fadden, at GislAam, at Mrs. Button's. I expected to meet him. I met him against the gate. I then went into the gar den. I could see the barn quite plain from the garden. There was a fence dividing the garden from the road high enough to conceal a man. I told M'Fadden some thing. I remained very little tine before they came down, the thieves. I was with him in the garden. I saw five people come. William Howell and Walter Howell I swear to. I cannot positively swear to any other. I saw William unlock the barn door. Walter followed his brother. After they had gone into the barn I left M'Fadden. Before that he had pulled off his shoes in the garden. I went up the backway towards my own home. Half an hour from the time I left M'Fadden I heard a gun fire. There was only a meadow and a yard between me and where M•Fadden was shot. I looked about, I did not go straight on. I returned back, on hearing the gun fire, to Mrs. Button's. I heard M`Fadden groan ;he said, " Ok, dear." I could not see him. The sound appeared to come from the garden. I was in the backway. I then went away for 13eccles, more than five miles. I did not go up to the door, because I was afraid they would serve me as they did M'Fadden. William Howell had a black velvet frock and a policeman's hat. I had seen that hat before, more than once. 'The jury, after retiring for a short time, returned into court, and pronounced a verdict of Guilty against the three prisoners. Mr. Justice WILLIams then proceeded to pass upon the prisoners the extreme sentence of the law, and ad dressed the prisoners in the following words :—" The murder which has been committed is one which the law estimates in the highest degree criminal—the taking away the life of an officer in the execution of his duty. You have been convicted of the crime of wilful murder, after a long, anxiously protracted trial, for the purpose of having every point in the whole evidence calmly con sidered and reconsidered ; and lam not aware—l have that consolation—there has not been one point suggested on your behalf which I did not, to the best of my com prehension, distinctly explain to the jury. Still, the gentlemen of the jury, after an anxious consideration of all the facts, have pronounced a verdict of guilty. I in treat you, during the short remnant that is allotted to you on earth, to lose no time, and by an anxious and unabated perseverance to endeavour to propitiate that mercy that may be obtained hereafter, and which cannot be obtained in this world." The prisoner Shipley seemed deeply affected, but the Howells not in the least ; and at the conclusion of the Loarned Judge's impressive address, Walter Howell ad dressed the following words to his Lordship : Do you reckon you have done your duty ? Every witness I have had against me I can prove a liar." With this case terminated the first Suffolk winter assize. Mr. Justice ParrEsost—Then the recognisances may be discharged, so there is an end to this prosecution. I am very glad this inquiry has taken place. lam quite sure what the Learned Counsel for the prosecution has stated is correct ; and judging from the circumstances that have actually occurred —looking at everything that has taken place—it is impossible to say there was any thing greater than an error in judgment. Certainly there is no ground for saying there was that culpable and gross negligence which would authorise a convic tion for manslaughter. I thought so when I read the depositions in the first instance, and I think so still. I am quite clear that is the law, and the facts warrant us in coming to that conclusion. lam quite sure that the termination of this prosecution is that which law and justice fully require. I cannot pretend to say there was not an error of judgment on your part, but it is clear everything that was done by you was done to prevent the mischief taking place which did occur, owing probably to a misunderstanding between you and another person. It seems to me that every person on a railway, and in almost every other situation in lite, would do well not to step out of the strict line of their duties—if you had not done so, this accident might not have occurred, as I understand it was no part of your duty to hare left the Nottingham station at all. That was an error in the first instance; and the second error, if there was any, seems to be this, that although feeling per suaded, and as far as I can judge with very good reason, that the train coming from Nottingham would come on its proper line, and that that line would be free, still you did not wait to make it quite certain at the Beeston sta tion. It w ou ld h ave b een b etter to have waited, as it appears the train coming from Nottingham, whichever line it came on, was overdue at Beeston station, there fore it would have been better had you waited a few minutes; but to say, because a man certainly erred in judgment in a situation of great difficulty, he is guilty of manslaughter when death occurs, is not correct. I am very glad to hear the account of your good conduct in general that the Learned Counsel gave of you. I have no doubt it was through an error in judgment this unfortunate mischief took place. You left the station with the best of all possible intentions ; certainly there was no wish on your part to do any harm ; on the con trary, your intention was to do as much good as pos sible ; unfortunately, however, the event turned out otherwise. Mr. Lightfoot then stepped from the dock, and imme diately left the court. The Learned ,ludge then proceeded to the county, to charge the grand jury, but the cases there are few in number, and nothing had transpired worthy of note. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmund's, Dee. 13. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE GISLEHAM MIIRDER.-At the termination of the trial of the wretched woman for the murder of her grandchild, the three men charged with the wilful murder of a police-constable, whilst in the execution of his duty, were then placed at the bar. Their names were William Howell, aged 25, Walter Howell, aged 21, and Israel Shipley, aged 38. The indictment charged William Howell with feloniously and maliciously murdering James M`Fadden, police•constable, by sh oo ti ng at him, with a gun, and Walter Howell and Israel Shipley were charged with aiding and abetting William Howell in the commission of the felony. - Mr. Gurdon and Mr. O'Malley appeared on behalf of the prosecution; and Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Dasent defended the prisoners. Mrs. Mary Button—l live at Gis'sham, in the county of Suffolk. On Sunday night, the 29th of July, James M‘Fadden came to my house in a wounded state. The door was opened, and he was brought in. He was un able to walk. I sent for the doctor. 1 knew ho had been watching our premises. Cross-examined—MTadden said, " I know who shot me." lie did not say " I think know." Ile might have said so. John Constance, of Gisleham, labourer—l assisted in moving M•Fadden from the step of my mistress's door into the kitchen. Before JlTadden left the house, he told me he had left his cutlass close by the place where ho was shot. As soon as it was light on Mont'ay I went to the ditch, and there I found a cutlass, Tho sheath was shot. Cross-examined—lt took me three or four minutes to go from where the cutlass lay to the house. John Prentice, surgeon, gave evidence to prove that the gun-shot wound was the cause of death. He IL)ver rallied from the first moment. Mary Juliens—l live at Kessingland.'Fadden lodged at my house. I remember his being brought home wounded, at three o'clock in the morning. on Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, I earcied him some milk. He said nothing about himself then. About one o'clock, he said, " I shall never be well no more." He seemed as if he was going to expire. Towards the close of Tuesday be was very low. Cross-examined by Mr. Prendergast—l cannot say exactly the day of the month I told this. It was on a Thursday—some time after M'Fadien was shot. Abort five weeks from this time. Ido not know how many times I have been before the magistrates before I gave the account. Twice, if not more. William Howell was taken on the Thursday after MTadden died. I first mentioned all this to Mr. Dean. I was very ill, and that was the reason why I did net mention it before. I was threatened by their party. On this Sunday I had been to Lowestoft in a cart. I had told M'Fadden before, that if I saw the party I would let him know. It took more than an hour to walk from my house to Gisleham. It was after six when I got to Beccles. I went to Mr. John Hunt's, of Beccles. He keeps a public-house. I stopped half an hour. There is no Mrs. Hunt. He is an old man. He has one daughter. I then went to Mrs. Sporle's, in Gaol-street. I was there, in and out, the, chief part of the day. I was obliged to go to Beccles to get some money —a post-office order for my brother. I got the post office order for 55. of Mr. Crichmere. My brother was convicted at the last assizes. Howell's mother was a witness against the man tried with my brother. lam now with Mr. Dean, the inspector, as I dare not go at large. I made the statement to Mr. Dean on the Tues day. He told Mr. Lark on Wednesday, and the men were taken soon after. I never told Mr. Dean till after Mr. Robert Chilvers threatened sue. My father threat ened me. Richard Wright threatened me. Neither Wright nor my father was taken up. If I spoke the truth, my father told tie I should never go near his door if I said anything about William Howell threat ening M‘Fadden at the turnpike. I had told Mr. Lark that day, when I was sworn at the Queen's Head, that only Walter Howell and Shipley were there, and the prisoners who are gone. George Thrower—l am a gamekeeper. I remember M.Fadden being shot, about a mile and a half from Mrs. Button's. I heard the report of a gun at half past 12 exactly by my watch, towards Gisleham. By the. COURT—It was a bright moonlight night. The moon was nearly full. Charles Nagle—l am one of the constabulary. I went with Dean to apprehend William 'lowed on the Ist of August last. I took him at his house in Mulford. I took him to Mr. Clark's, at Shklver. lie was committed, upon the coroner's inquest, to Ipswich gaol. I searched his premises. I found the velvet coat and policeman's hat I now produce. The coat was behind the door, the hat under the table in the lower room. I produce a gun I found in Shipley's house on the 19th of November last, directly he was taken. Cross-examined by Mr. DASENT—I have known Shipley about fifteen months. I took him at Mulfsrd, about half a mile from his own house. I had seen Shipley as usual, but not between M'Fadden's death and the sth. I know nothing about Walter Howell's hat. I have observed William Howell frequently with a black hat and velvet frock. Robert Arlis—l am a bricklayer. I knew M'Fadden. I remember his being shot. I was at Wrentham, working for Mr. Butcher. Walter Howell was working with me. I had a conversation about the policeman's death, between breakfast and dinner. I had heard of M‘Fad den's death before that. Upon my saying to the com pany I heard the polictinan was shot again s t th e b arn , Walter Howeli said, "Itis a d—d lie; he was shot away from the barn next a piece of water." This was in the afternoon. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—We wore about four in number ; every one was talking about it. He said it was " a d—d lie" quite loud. William Quadling—l am a carpenter of Wrentham. I remember the day of the inquest. Walter Howell was at work for me there. Aft,r toa, Walter said, " Did you see my brother carried by ?" I said I did notice him, only there was a policeman in the cart. He then said, " Tt is a pity that the d—sd rasoil was Lot s h ot dead, then nobody could be found out," Cross-examined—Walter said that he went to bed about ton on the night that I.l'Fadden was shot, and that he saw his brother's highlows and buskins. Three prisoners from the gaol were called as wit• nesses, to prove statements made to them by the priso ners, whilst in custody. It appeared by their evidence that Shipley and Walter Howt 11 had given detailed ac countq of the whole transaction i but these accounts ap peared to be at variance with each other, and with the actual facts of the case. _ _ PIIENDF.RCIAidT, on behalf of the prisoners, made a powerful and argumentative speech to the jury, and at ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE TAPERS, Morning Noon, and Niglet, thereby insuring . « TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

PORTSMOUTH, DEc. 15. T The letter of Commander Matson, of the Daring, to Mr. White, the shipbuilder. of Cowes, published in The Sun, by which a clear and comprehensive statement is exhibited of the circum stances under which the sailings took place, from the 26th of November to the return of the squadron to port, throws more light upon the trial sailings of the experi mental squadron of brigs than an 7 other document hitherto placed before the public. The striking supe• rig rity of the Daring over the other vessels of the squadron in almost every point of sailing is thus clearly manifest, she having gained, in the words of the letter, after a trial of six hours and a quarter, on the 28th of November, " on the Wo.terwitch, 1,500 yards ; on the Espiegle, 4,800 yards ; on the Flying Fish, 7,500 yards; and on the Pantaloon, five miles!" Thus the Surveyor's vessels in both squadrons have been dead beat at all points. We are glad this important discovery has been made in time (although late) to remedy in some measure the shameful evil which has so long existed, through the blind confidence reposed in a man whose qualifications for the important and responsible office of Surveyor of the Royal Navy of Great Britain have proved of so very indifferent a character. It is with regret we contem plate the expense the country has been put to in experiments upon naval construction to further the crotchets of the present' Surveyor of the Navy, and the irremediable evil which will accrue to the service if such experiments are proceeded with. By expe ments we mean the number of vessels which have been laid down upon the plans of Sir William Symonds, and which have been suffered to proceed, almost to the exclusion of the construction of vessels from any other models, before one tithe of those by that officer already afloat have been tried or even commissioned. We sincerely hope the report is true that an order has been dispatched to each of the dockyards to suspend all labour upon Sir William Symonds's vessels. The Fly ing Fish was to have distanced, by long odds, her " swimming " competitors—she kas been fairly tried in the scale, and found disgracefully wanting. Of the Pantaloon the less said the better. The Queen, we hear, is to be lengthened, a la Fox ; it were better, we think, to make a guard-ship of her at one of the home ports than go to the expense of endeavouring to make her an efficient sailinr , ship. The fact of the Queen and Albion being ordered" out of commission now that the experimental cruise has proved them so little deserving the crack names with which they are honoured. fur nishes grounds for severe comment upon the shameful waste of the public money, so wantonly lavished in the construction of ships which, when tried, prove so un worthy the service for which they were destined. The question now is—who is to be responsible to the coun try for this reckless waste—the Admiralty or their em ploye ? All men who know anything of naval construc tion have held up their hands against the palpable wan tonness exhibited by the Board of Admiralty in burdening the country to such an unprecedented extent as it has by the patronage of the Symondian principle to the almost utter exclusion of any other for so many years. What will now be done with the ships built by the present surveyor ? And are the demerits of that officer to pass without any other notice of them than that taken by an indignant public ? The Mercury tender sailed on Thursday, with seamen gunners, draughted from the Excellent, for the Superb, 80, just commissioned at Devonport. On her return she will be dispatched with provisions to the relief of the windbound merchantmen in the Channel. The Hastings, 72, was towed out of the basin, and the Msgicienne, 44, and Locust steam-sloop towed in, on Thursday. The Magicienne is to be brought forward for commission. On Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, two old con victs, named respectively Benjamin Shaw and John Hol den, quarrelled at breakfast, and Shaw having taken Holden by the collar, the latter, who had a small knife in his hand with which he had just cut some bread, thrust it out to keep Shaw off, when the blade entered his (Shaw's) thigh, piercing the fetneral artery, which speedily produced death from loss of blood, notwith standing the best surgical assistance was promptly at hand. An inquest was held by the Admiralty Coroner, Mr. G. Greetham, on Wednesday, and continued on Thursday, when, after a most searching investigation, the jury were of opinion there was no intention to wil fully murder, and returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Holden, who, since the sad catastrophe, has been in a most pitiable and lamentable state of mind, the 6ircurn3tance having made such an impression on him that his life is despaired of.

The Siren, 16, Commander Smith, which arrived on Thursday from the East Indies, brought home the sea men who navigated the Anson, 74 (convict depot), to Hobart Town, and invalids from the Cambrian, 36, Commodore Chada, one of whom, named Paddy, got leave to go ashore, after being transferred to the flag ship on Thursday, and having borrowed some money from an acquaintance, got intoxicated and into bad com pany, and is supposed, while insensible, to have laid do Nri on the beach, where he was frozen to death, or drowned, as his body was found on Friday morning, between high and low water-mark, on the Gosport shore. The Siren was only eighty days in making the Scilly Islands from Trincomalee. Captain Rowley went out in the Fanny yacht yesterday, and mustered the crew, who were (.xer cised at general quarters, and underwent the usual in spection; after which the vessel came into harbour to be paid off, instead of at Plymouth, as anticipated.

DEVONPORT, DEC. 14.—0 n Friday afternoon, as a boat was proceeding to the Dredalus, 20, Captain M'Quhae, in the Sound, it capsized in the surf on the bridge, and all who were in the boat (five persons) met a watery grave. The Adventure transport, Master-Commander W. Iloskilly, arrived on Thursday, from Cork, with victual ling stores. The Snipe cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Raymond, sailed yesterday with provisions to the relief of the dis tressed windbound ♦essels in the Channel ; also the Netley tender on the same generous errand. The Dxdalus, 20, Captain P. M'Quhae, was paid the usual advance wages on Thursday, and is appointed to sail to-morrow (Sunday) for New Zealand. The Mercury tender arrived yesterday with the super numeraries for the vessels fitting here from Portsmouth, The Pandora, 6, was taken into No. 1 dock on Thurs day, to fit for surveying service ; and the Daring, 12, into No. 5 yesterday, to fit for foreign service. The Canopus, 80, ordered to be expedited for com mission, will not be ready for the pendant these three months at least. The report of Captain Armar Lowry Corry, of the Firebrand steam-frigate, being appointed to the Canopus, is erroneous ; that efficient officer is ap pointed to the Superb, 80, and not Sir C. Sullivan, as first reported.

In Dock—The Daring, Pandora, &e. In Barnpool—The Firebrand. In the Sound—The Dxdalus and Savage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The Derby betting was marked by some movements of considerable interest ; as the most worthy of mention, we may refer to a decided improvement in Idas, the colt out of Calypso's dam, and Old England, the change in each case being the result of a considerable outlay. 2,000 to 100 was laid against Kedger; 1,500 to 60 and 22 to 1 in fifties against Pam, the backers of each willing to go on; 300 to 10 twice against Young Eclipse, and 25 to 1 afterwards offered ; 1,000 to 40, two or three times, we believe, against Ants-Repealer ; 1,000 to 25 and 35 to 1 in divers quarters against the colt out of Rebecca ; and several bets against outsiders. 45 to 1 was laid against Ironmaster, qualified or not. With regard to the nomination of this horse, we are enabled to state that Mr. A. Hill has taken the necessary steps for bring ing the case before the Stewards of the races, with whom the Stewards of the Jockey Club are now associated, and that it will be taken into consideration as soon after Christmas as possible.

Mr. Ford's brood mares, young stock, and horses in training, were put up for sale yesterday by Messrs. Tattersall's, and a few of the inferior lots sold at low prices. The others were bought in.

UESDA Y N G PRICE sd. /e'e (,! . ~/ I LYCEUM THEATRE. Signor Camillo Sivori commenced a short engage ment of two nights only at this theatre last evening. To praise Sivori now-a-days is a work of superero aion. He is confessedly the first violinist in the world—perhaps the first the world has ever produced. Save and except his instructor, Paganini, there has never been a violinist who could for one moment stand a comparison with him ; and, as we said sc?rne two years since, we prefer Camillo Sivori to Paganini, inasmuch as he possesses all Paganini's wonderful powers of execution; with a finer perception of the beautiful. As a mere violinist he is Paganini's equal— as a musical poet he is his superior. He last night gave us the first part of his Concerto No. 2, and Paganini's burlesque variations in the Carmaral de Venise. The concerto deserved that name better than the generality of pieces so called, for Sivori played clearly and distinctly a duet, at tinn-s a trio, and, if we are not greatly mistaken, even a quartetto, on one violin. The concerto was given with exqui site taste and expression ; and then, in the Curriacal de Venise, how he revelled in developing the buffo powers of his instrument. The very fiddle itself seemed to laugh and enjoy the fun. One would have declared that it was a " thing of life." " Vixere fortes ante A gam eninona"—there have been great actors before Sivori, but never until his time has there appeared a man who has made a musical instrument act ; and in his hands the violin becomes a very Garrick. THE DEPLORABLE STATE OF THE CHURCH. We are, perhaps, anticipating our Contemporary of to-morrow, when we venture to make a suggestion to the Rev. Hugh M'Neilo. The Bishop of Exeter, after long coquetting with it, has, at last, openly avowed his Puseyism, and proceeded to enforce upon the clergy of his diocese the adoption of certain out ward signs and symbols by which it may be known. The consequence is, that he has lighted a flame which will very soon be felt from one extremity of the country to the other. Some of the clergy are obey ing the fiat of this spiritual potentate, sonic are not. Now, from what is known of the temper of this haughty prelAte, it is certain that he will employ every engine of annoyance and persecution against the recusants. It is time, therefore, for every true friend of the Church and Protestantism to be making a forward movement to support and encourage them. We call upon Mr. AP - Nene instantly to put himself at the head of such a movement in this diocese. Let a meeting be called, and a loud and strong protest be made against the proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter. Nay, let something more be done. Let a subscrip tion be entered into to defray the expenses of the litigation to which he is sure to put all who shall dare to refuse obedience to his commands. There is not a day to be lost. The danger is becoming too imminent to be any longer trifled with. A strong demonstration of public opinion may yet overcome the madness which is at work ; but, to be effectual, it must be made at once. Mr. M'Neile, we have often opposed you. We now call upon you to act and to lead. You have the energy and talent requisite for the crisis, and we cannot doubt that you have the will. —Liverpool Albion of Monday. THE FULFILMENT OF SINDIAN PROPHECIES. " Sinde can never pay.' " Sinde will ' be a per petual drain on the Company's treasury." So said those who were supposed to be best acquainted with the country. Sir C. Napier, after paying the whole expense of the civil government of Sinde, including an efficient police force of 2,000 well-armed men, the half being cavalry, has, up to the 31st of July last, deposited in the public treasury 500,000 rupees, or 50,000/. This, too, with a reduction of taxes! Moreover, an English officer may now ride alone in perfect security from one end of Vle land to the other. The Governor of Sinde is a most extraordinary man —the business he gets through is almost incredible. He not only has to read, but does read, the pro ceedings of all trials, civil and military. He causes his military magistrates, who are pushed in all direc tions, to keep diaries, with abstracts of all l e tt ers written and received by them. These are sent to the Governor weekly, and he carefully reads them. The labour is great, but he thus knows the exact state of every part of the country. He has the duties which are involved in the command of 17,000 men. When we consider all this, and that he has to carry on a correspondence with the Governments of Calcutta and Bombay, we may form some idea of the extraordinary mental exertions of the Governor of Sinde. Further, when we recollect that Napier has had his leg broken by a musket-ball—his side grazed by a cannonball—bayonetted in the back--cut down on the head—his face perforated with a ball which car ried away part of his jaw —the calf of his leg torn by a rocket—that he, out of thirty-four of his people struck with coup de soled, was the only survivor-- that he has had a paralytic stroke—and is sixty-three years of age, and is actively governing the country he has conquered, we are perfectly astonished at the man .—..Nra val and Military Gazette. MISS CLARA SETTON.—It would appear that this young lady is as great a favourite in the provinces as she is in the metropolis. She gave her lecture on Eng lish Comedy at the Athenzeum, at Manchester, last week, and the Manchester papers all speak in the most enthusiastic terms of her. In fact, her debut in Man cheater as a lecturer was a perfect triumph. She re turned to London on Saturday, to fulfil her engagements at the different literary institutions. INTERESTING DISCOVERIES AT NINEY Ell.—The news of the progress of M. Butte's excavations at Khor sabad, near Mosul, Palestine, are always interesting. There are at present 100 workmen engaged thereon, and besides the walls, which are covered with sculptures and inscriptions, many antiquities of a peculiar and at pre sent inexplicable nature are met with. For example, under the large bricks, of which the floor consists, are stone repositories, which are filled with small clay enamelled figures of men and beasts, without anything on the surface Indicating the existence of such repositories, or there being anything within them to explain their contents. In another place they discovered great rows of earthen vases of a remarkable size, placed on a brick floor, and filled with human bones, and similar to those which have been found at Babylon, Ahwaz, and other places in South Persia. The palace seems to have been totally plundered before its destruction, for neither jewels, nor instruments, nor even the small cylinders so numerous in the neighbourhood, are anywhere found; merely some bronze images of beasts (for instance, a very flue lion), have been discovered, as also a part of the bronze wheel of a war chariot. But tho most incomprehensible cir cumstance is, that the alabaster slabs with which the walls are cased, and which are covered with inscriptions and sculptures, bear on the back, likewise, inscriptions in arrow-headed characters, cud certainly not in the Assyrian, but in the Babylonian language. 'As it is naturally not to be presumed that the architects would have been so foolish as to have graven these inscrip tions where no one could have seen them without pulling down the wall, it must be presumed that the slabs have served twice, first belonging to a Babylonian palace, and afterwards have been transported by the Assyrians and freshly graven. At present no sculptures have been found on the back, which would, indeed be of the greatest interest, no Babylonian sculptures having ever yet been discovered. Some of the lately-found bas-reliefs are especially remarkable ; for instance, one repre senting the siege of a town situated on an island ; the sea is covered with ships, the fore part of which form a horse's head, and which are occupied in bringing the trunks of trees for the purpose of • erecting a dam. The water is covered with all kinds of marine animals— tiAhes, crabs, and winged sea-horses. The richness of • the details, and the mass of sculpture which the palace contains, are amazing, and it is incomprehensible how so magnificent a building should hare been s o s t range l y buried in the earth. The French Ambassador at Con stantinople has not yet obtained permission from the Porte to send to Paris those articles of antiquity which will bear transport, which says little for their interest there, at a time when thelEnglish are removing whole cargoes of antiquities from Lesser Asia to London.— Augsburg Gazette. , A GUIDE TO SINGLE LADIES.—I. Beware how you accept an invitation from an industrious widow or an indefatigable old maid " to spend the day," especially if she should add, " Come early, love, and bring your work." Be assured that very soon after you arrive, heap of linen-drapery will be piled on the table, and you will be asked " just to run up a seam or two," and then to fit on the boddice, like a dear." When that Is done, she will apologise for not having anything to amuse you. If you are obliged to accept such an invita tion, be sure to ask your mania if you may ask Charles to fetch you home at night—" about nine." Write to him immediately, telling him not to be a minute later than six. 11. Should a similar invitation come from a young lady who is in your confidence, by all means take every one of Charles's love-letters ; you will find them very pleasant reading after your friend has shown yon all her lover's presents, and told you all his secrets. 111. When you are invited to a diner de pretention, be sure to dine very heartily before you start. As, however, merely looking on is dull work, take a huge bouquet. This should emit an odour strong enough to spoil the appetites of the men who sit next to you, so that they may have the more time to flirt and talk. Ba perfectly ignorant of the name of every dish ; for to be suspected of the smallest cognisance of cookery is dis gustingly vulgar. Should any old-fashioned man ask you to take wine, give him a glance of unconsciousness, and turn to one of your neighbours to ask what is meant ? That explained, you may take up an empty glass, and set it down again, bowing at the same time to the epergne. IV. When 3 70 u are going ou t to a grand quadrille party, you will, of course, be obliged, to wear a very expensive and very extensive dress ; stipulate, therefore, for the whole of one side of tho coach, that the skirt may be spread over it and not be tumbled. Never mind getting your poor and un attractive cousin squeezed up on the other seat between your two fat uncles. If, when you arrive, Charles should bore you, tell him you have made up your mind not to dance that night; but the moment he has engaged an other partner, waltz away with the handsoniest man you can get. Be handed down to supper, if possible, by a title, if it is only a captain. The next morning, when Charles calls, ask him how he dares show his face, " after his cruel neglect of you last evening."— Punch.
