BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savby-steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous efi deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, ibel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be, of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it Was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and .object haying been to tender Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct aes of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS TFIE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is seeured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at Si. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest fer the retained half ; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at Si. per cent. interest until death, when the 35/. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payab. aythe Company.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both In its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeitnre—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested; and this bonus, aceording to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums EXAMPLES.

For while we are studying " grace" to adorn. We must not forget "use" while the garment is worn. Wow the costumes which MOSES and SON have to sell Embrace these two f. atures remarkably well. The beautiful " grace" which the garments afford Can never be equalled at home or abroad. The style of the clothing is so recherché, Th A it could not but please such as "Count d'Orsay." And gentlemen often with pleasure admire The elegant style of the MOSES' attire. But while we speak thus of the styles we produce, We are partly forgetting their wonderful " use." Let it not be supposed that we overlook this— For this is a point where there's nothing amiss. We hardly know which is deserving most praise, The " use " of the garb or the " grace" it displays. Let the public decide such query themselves, By obtaining the clothes which are stored on our shelves. They will then see the source of the fame that is won By the "Pride of the Tailors"—E.

Witness ran' up stairs; and tried- to force open the door, but being unable he sent for a carpenter, who broke it open. On.entering the room he found the deceased in the state described by the previous witness. He immediately cut him down, but he was quite dead, and appeared to have been so about 20 minutes. George Williams, of Frith-street, said some time back deceased used to live with him. He then made an attempt upon his life by cutting his throat. On that occasion he lost a deal of blood, but being attended to, he ultimately recovered. Witness bad not the least doubt but that deceased's mind had become impaired. Other evidence was given, which proved that the father of deceased also destroyed himself, and that the son was not of sound mind when he committed the act. The jury then returned a verdict of " Tem porary Insanity." On Friday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road, on the body of William Horrod, agedsixty, a weather-glass maker, of Yardley-street, Hatton-garden. It ap peared in evidence that, on Friday week last, de ceased, being . somewhat intoxicated, -entered the , Peru Arms, Percy-street, Clerkenwell, and told the landlord that he wanted to go into the yard, to which he knew, he said, the way. Near the yard door in the passage was a door that opened inwards from the cellar stairs, and it being partly open the deceased pushed against it and fell down the steps into the cellar. The barman, who was at work below, picked him up and brought him to the parlour, and a surgeon was sent for, pending whose arrival deceased rallied and walked home. The next day he became so bad that his medical adviser recommended his re moval to the above hospital, in which he died on Wednesday last., Mr. Thomas Hill, the eminent sur geon said, of concussion of the brain, caused by the fall. The CORONER said this made the fourth inquest he had held on persons coming by their deaths through having fallen into public-house cellars in consequence of doors opening inwards. If any persons were bound to use precautions for the security of persons intoxi cated publicans were, before whose bars and in whose tap-rooms and parlours people became confused in their sight and mind. Landlords had the means of guarding against this calamity by causing their cellar doors to be so hung that they would open outwards, and not be liable to open when a drunken man pushed against them. He hoped the landlord of the Percy Arms would have his cellar-door altered, and prevent a recurrence of a misfortune of this kind. The landlord, who was present, said he had antici pated the suggestions of the Coroner, and caused the door to open outwards on the passage. Verdict, "Accidental death." On Friday Mr. G. I. Mills, Deputy Coroner for West Middlesex, held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital on the body of Wm. Williams, aged 40, a gentleman's servant. It appeared that deceased being out of place, lodged at the Sun public-house, lied don-street, Regent-street, and that being at a club of Odd Fellows on Tuesday evening, he returned about midnight to the Sun slightly intoxicated. He sub sequently drank some gin and porter, and about two o'clock on the following morning he left the tap-room to retire, he said, to hia bed on the second floor. Five minutes afterwards a fellow-lodger, wanting to go into the street found him lying on his face on the pavement insensible, and bleeding freely from wounds on the head. He was brought into the house and a surgeon sent for, who finding that after two hours' attention he did not rally, ordered his re moval to that hospital. Evidence was adduced to show that deceased accidentally fell from a window on the second floor landing 'whilst discharging one of the wants of nature from it. Mr. Bishop, the house surgeon, said deceased was admitted at five o'clock on Wednesday morning, insensible to external impres sions, and he died three quarters of an hour after wards. The causes of death were extensive fractures of the skull and of eight ribs, broken clavicle and ilium, and rupture of the liver.—Verdict, " Acci dental deuth." SUICIDE IN A WORKHOUSE.—Yesterday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Horn of Plenty, Globe road, Mile-end, on the body of Thomas Moore, aged forty-six, a coal-whipper, and for the last few days an inmate of the Stepney union workhouse, Mile-end lane. It appeared from the evidence of his wife, that for three weeks previous to his admission to the work house he had been light-headed, and one day teok the kettle off the fire, and seated himself in its place, and had it not been for her interference, ho would have been burned to death. He was a very sober man, and an excellent husband and father, and she attributed the deraugement of. his mind to over study, but she did not say of what. By the advice of his confessor, Father Arabin, he was removed to the workhouse on Tues day week. Parker proved finding the body of de ceased dead, and suspended by the neck from a rafter in the water-closet, by means of two handkerchiefs, at noon on Thursday. Half an hour before witness gave him some tobacco, when he answered that pro bably it was the last he sLould smoke. Witness en- deavoured, h• 2 said, to cheer him, and addednlai de ceased since his admission always appeared very me lancholy. Mr. Story, parish surgeon, said he was called to deceased, and attended, and found that he had been promptly cut down, and was quite dead. He had been an infirmary patient, and although he laboured under depression of spirits there was nothing in his words or deeds to create a suspicion that he would destroy himself.—Verdict, " Temporary in sanity." Ever since the accession of Sir James Graham to the Home Secretaryship, merciless executions and as merciless murders have been the order of the day. The accursed office of the hangman has been no sinecure ; and the abandoned have profited as they ever have, and eder gtust profit, by the murderous examples set 'them by their rulers. A reckless disregard of human life is fast spreading among the people ; consequent, we verily believe, upon the inhuman executions which have re cently taken place. After the accession of her Majesty, and before the Act of Parliament was passed which vested the Home Secretary with the exercise of the most odious prerogative of the kingly office, we believe that only one execution took place in England; and it was generally observed at the time that the crime of murder grew rarer in proportion as it became known that it was not without many tears that her Majesty could be brought, at the request of the Archbishop of Canter bury, to sign a death-warrant. But Sir James Graham was troubled with no such compunctious visitings, and the dreadful results are distressingly and alarmingly con spicuous.-1-hdi Advertiser. At the Brentford Petty Sessions on Saturday, a boy named John Kingston, aged fifteen years, was brought up before the magistrates, charged with having made a most desperate attack with a stone on a boy nam , -cl Robert Edwards, thirteen years of age, by which his life was in imminen: danger. It ppearcd the pri soner and Edwards were engaged with other boys in loading grains at the brewery of Messrs. Coles and Co. at Twickenham, and while at work they were paid by beer instead of money, and many of them wt re in the habit of getting tipsy upon their allowance. The pri se ner and Edwards quarrelled on leaving work, and the former, in the height of his anger, ran to him and beat him on the head AN ith a large flint stone till he fainted from pain and loss of blood. He. was taken to an hospital, and had only recovered sufficiently to appear then in court. The prisoner acknowledged the assault, but said he was provoked by Edwards having thrown stones at him. The bench committed the p risoner for trial. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT —I IVE MEN KILLED.— On the morning of Saturday last, while eight men were employed in widening•and cutting a road on the side of a brae betwixt Craig and Cotton of Craig, the projecting part of the earth, on the upper side of the road, which was of a considerable height, suddenly gave way and crushed them to the ground. The person who had been working nearest the outer edge of the road-; after considerable exertion, succeeded in extricating himself, and then assisted a second to escape from the mass of earth. Although severely bruised, they immediately set to work to rescue the others, but, unfortunately, be! fore they could succeed in doing so, the quantity of earth lying above them being so great, life was extinet.in five, m b — e e r s O a t m m e d o O r froth ß r e p ti , , i S O u l .t x l -, and the sixth is so dangerously bruised and wounded that but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. Two of the persons killed were the contractors for the work, another belonged to Glenisla, and the other two were Irishmen resident' n Dundee, who have left widows and families to deplore their untimely fate.—Dundee B and i3wEa its : l a i Courier. iTnuR2SD TnaoAy. each,.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 21.—The Flying Fish, new 12-gun brig, built at Pembroke by the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Symonds, under the command (pro tem.) of Mr. Brown, As sistant Master Attendant of this Dockyard, arrived from Mil • ford on Friday night, and was towed into harbour yester day, to be stripped, remasted and brought forward for com mission with the Darius and Osprey, with all dispatch. The Nautilus, 10, Lieut.-Commander Tringham, arrived from Brighton on Thursday, and sailed from Spithead for the same destination yesterday morning. The Devonshire line-of-battle ship of 72 guns, built in 1812, is ordered to be reduced to a first class frigate. The Thames convict-ship has arrived at Spithead from Chatham. She will embark about 300 convicts for Bermuda, where she will be stationed as a depot. She takes out dis patches also for Sir C. Adam. The Centurion, 80 gun ship, is ordered to be launched at Pembroke, in the early part of next month. The Pearl, 18, Commander Stopford, was at Rio de Janeiro on the 28th of February, whence she was to sail for England immediately the Daphne arrived to relieve her, which vessel was then on her passage from Santos for that purpose. The Pearl has been nearly four years on the station, and almost constantly employed in the River de la Plate. The Frolic, 16, Commander Willis, left Rio on the 17th of February, with one of her prizes, and captured negroes. The Curagoa, 26, Captain Sir. Thomas Pasley, left Rio on the 20th of January, for Monte Video, where the Alfred, 50, Commander Purvis, and Gorgon, were lying. The Racer, 16, Captain Reid, re lieved the Pearl in the river Plate. The Rattlesnake troop-ship, with part of the 55th regi ment on board, and invalids, from China, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 19th of February, on her way to Portsmouth. The Pantaloon, 10-gun brig, Lieutenant Commander La pidge'`-which- vessel, arrived at Portsthouth on Wednesday,. trom Devouport, was towed into harbour on Friday, by the steam-tug, and will be paid off' the latter end of this week. She has been two-and-a-half years on the African coast, but has not been fortunate in taking prizes. Orders have been sent to Sir Charles Adam, the Com. mander-in-Chief in the West Indies, to break up the Ante lope, the present convict-ship in Bermuda, on the arrival of the Thames. The Collingwood, 80, was brought into dock at Ports mouth, on Monday, to have her bottom cleaned, and to be coppered higher up, for sea service. She is taking on board one of Porter's anchors, of 85 cwt., as a spare anchor, which is convenient for stowing on board, as the flukes can be sepa rated from the shank. These excellent anchors are coming into general use in the Royal Navy, as well as the mercantile marine. They are never refused by the Admiralty to a cap tain of a man of war on application for one as a spare anchor. It is said the Collingwood is to have one suit of sails (by way of experiment or test) dipped into Sir W. Burnet's solution for preserving canvas from decay. The Rodney, 90, was to have come out of dock at Ports mouth on Saturday ; but being under the process of painting she will now be kept in till this day fortnight. She is being fitted with crutches for her spare and sheet anchors, invented by Mr. Browne, which we have before described. The joiners of Portsmouth are making the necessary alte rations in the cabins of the Prometheus steamer, in consequence of her being in future to carry a commander's establishment. A party of men from the Victory are overhauling and refit ting her rigging. The Osprey brig has taken on board twenty tons, and the Daring fifty tons of iron ballast, we suppose at the request of their constructors, who will, however, no doubt, ballast them as they may think proper when fitted out. The Flying Fish is daily expected at Portsmouth. It is said these experi mental brigs will be all commissioned together when ready.

MORE SHIRT-MAKING MISERY.--Mr. Baker, the coroner, held an inquiry at the Five Bells Tavern, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, respecting the death of Sophia Anderson, aged 30, who destroyed herself through the extreme effects of destitution and want. Ann Monk, a most distressed-looking object, stated that she was a widow and resided in the back room of a house, No. 2, Vincent-street, Commercial-road, for which she paid ls.6d. a week rent. The deceased came to lodge with her about a month since, being destitute, and was to pay one shilling a week for lodging. She generally supported herself by selling of portions of her wearing apparel for pennies or two pences at a time. For the last fortnight, however, she wandered about the streets almost starving, and on Thursday evening went out, saying that she would see and borrow ls., so as to pay the rent which was due on the following day, Friday, as. she was afraid that the landlord would turn them out of doors. She said she would get it from her husband, and at dusk left, as if for that purpose, but did not return during the whole night, and witness heard nothing of her till eleven o'clock on Friday morning, when she wus informed that the deceased had been found drowned. CORONER—Pray, my good Woman, how do you obtain your livelihood ? Do you live with any of your friends ? Witness (with tears in her eyes)— I have no family, sir; I live by myself and make shirts, and am fast sinking. The Foreman (Mr. Tuson)—What do you get generally for making these shirts—what are you al lowed ? Witness—l make them t sir, for five farthings a piece; but when I have to make them up for the first-rate show shops in the streets, I am allowed from twopence to threepence each. The Foreman--:And pray what eau you make a week at this work ? "Witness—Why, sir, I can, with the cheap ones, obtain about two shillings and sixpence ; but with the best work I can make three shillings and sixpence. —(Sensation.) Juror—Yes, my good woman; but for the latter sum you must work very hard, must you not ? Wit ness—l must indeed, sir, because that is what they call their best work. Perhaps I get up between four and five o'clock in the morning, and continue to work till between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, and sometimes one. The CORONER. observed that he knew well the ex tram° m;-e,.1,..3 -- whiuti ale - poor shirt-makers in that part of the metropolis had undergone, and he was in hopes that by the late exposures of the cruel system their condition would have been somewhat bettered. It was a subject that had occupied much of the public mind, and he still did trust that something would be done to relieve their heart-rending distresses. 'Thu CORONER (to the witness) —How did the de ceased get her food—could you give her any ? Wit ness—What I could spare I used to give her, and would have done so to the last morsel sooner than she should have committed such an act, but she so often said she would destroy herself, I thought she really would not. Juror—Did she make any of the shirts ? Witness —No, sir ; she did not nor would not. She used to say that she was brought up in respectability, and the idea of earning a livelihood at such cheap work almost drove her mad; and, alth oug h s h e was so much re duced she vowed she wou ld not wor k a t the shirts, and further said she w ou ld not li ve as I did. The CORONER here inquired if her husband, or . any of her relatives, were in attendance ? Mr. Cottmg ham,the beadle, r e pli e d t h at t h e d ecease d was not married, and none of her relatives were present. He had made inquiries about them, and something of a very mysterious nature was connected with deceased. He had been informed that she was the illegitimate child of some persons of distinction, and at an early age was sent to a Miss Edey's school at Edmonton, and mixed in the first families residing in that vil lage. She never knew who her father or mother were, but after she had been at the school some time she was told that her mother had died almost heartbroken for the sight of her offspring. When at the age of fifteen she was seduced by a squire living in the vicinity of Enfield, who kept her for some time as his mistress, and ultimately forsook her. She be came gradually reduced, and cohabited with several persons, until, at last, she was rendered so destitute as to seek the scanty ass i s t ance o f th e first witness. The CORONER, who appeared rather amazed at the singularity of the tale just told him, asked if there were any witnesses who could speak to her more early mode of life ? Mrs. E. Brookman, of Somerset-street, Shadwell, stated that about six years ago the deceased and a gentleman, whom she took to be her husband, took lodgings at her house, and appeared to live very com fortably. The rent was regularly paid, and nothing was due when she left. CORONER—What sort of man was he ? Witness— An elderly man, sir. CORONER—How do you know that she was not a married woman ? The witness here handed in a letter from a Mr. R. Wears, of Chase-green, Enfield, which tended to show she was not. _ _ CORONER—Do you know whether this elderly gentleman filled any situation to support himself and the deceased ? Witness—ln the London D oc k s ; a s W very important situation she told me. Juror—Now, did you e v er hear her say anything remark about her parents?that she would Witness—Yes, i t n give e s— th Y e es o r lsird she used to if she could but find her father and moth er . Henry Blythe, police - c onst able 302 K, deposed to the finding of the body . in the middle of the new-cut of the river Lea, -at Limehouse, on Friday morning, about five o'clock. She had a bonnet on, and had been turned up by a barge passing over her. The CORONER observed that it not only was a dis tressing case, but one of very singular character. Respecting the early life of the deceased they had nothing to do; the cause of death being the .part of their inquiry. It appeared almost evident that the deceased had destroyed herself, but still there was no evidence to that fact, and they had better record an open verdict. The jury expressed themselves fully satisfied that she had committed suicide, but the Coroner pointing out the safe pl an of returning a verdict of " Found Dead," in a case like the present one, they conceded and recorded one in accordance with the Coroner's recommendation. Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Carlisle Arms, Queen-street, Soho, on the body of Mr. Boudry, aged 47, a master watchmaker, of No. 4, Frith street, Soho, who committed suicide under the following circum stances : Catherine Mills deposed that on F r id ay morn i ng her master did not get up at his usual hour, but took, his breakfast in bed. Between I 0 and 11 the same morn ing a gentleman called, and said he wa n t e d t o see th e deceased. Witness communicated 'that fact to her mistress, who immediately repaired up stairs to inform her husband, but she found the door fastened. She knocked, but receiving no an swer, she procured assistance, and had the door broken open, when deceased was found lyi ng on the top of the b e d, with a cord tied round hi s throat, which was fastened to a nail in the wall. There being a surgeon in the house at the time, who had called to see his brother, he ran up stairs, and endeavoured to APPOINTMENTS. Commander—Henry Layton, to the Cygnet. Lieutenant—Lord Frederick Ker, from the Thunderbolt (additional) to the Winchester. Mates—M. Jones, to the Caledonia; C. H. Young, to the Agincourt; J. Simpson, to the Camperdown. Gunner—W. Anthony, to the America, from the Excellent, vice Olphant. Assistant -Surgeons—G. J. Willes, to the St. Vincent, for duty at Haslar Hospital. Midshipmen—A. Cheetham and R. H. Warner, to the Excellent. Clarks—W. W. Sadler, to the Pantaloon, vice Chapman, deceased; Joseph Lewis, to the San Josef, vice Sadler. THE EXPERIMENTAL GUHIIRIGS. CHATIIAM, Arun, 20.—This day the Mutine and Espiegle, 12-gun brigs, which are to form an experimental squadron with the Daring, Osprey, Kingfisher, and Flying Fish, ships of the same class, in the month of June next, for the pur pose of a testing theirrelative capabilities at sea, were launched at this dockyard in the presence of a considerable number of the resident gentry and inhabitants of the town and neigh bourhood. Among the number of professional men present were—Captain William Henry Sheriff; Mr. John Fincham, master shipwright of this dockyard, who launched both vessels; Captain G. G. Burton, with many other naval gen tlemen. Messrs. Chatfield and Creuze, two of the constructors of the Espiegle, were also present, with Mr. John Wilson Patten, M.P. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Stevens, R.M. ; Captainßrown, R.M. ; Mr. Gage, Master-Attendant of Sheer ness Dockyard; Major Smith, Barrack-master, and other officers of the garrison, with their ladies. The first part of the launch was the ceremony of christening the Mutine, which was performed with great eclat by Mrs. Charles Baldock, a daughter of Mr. Fincham. The Espiegle was christened by Miss Wilson Patten, daughter of the Member for North Lancashire. Both vessels went off the stocks in gallant style—the Mutine at two o'clock P.M., and the Espiegle at a quarter past two o'clock. The dockyard band, which was in attendance playing several national airs, during the preparatory arrangements, struck up " God save the Queen," amidst the loyal and enthusiastic cheer ing of the spectators. The Mutine and Espiegle have each been built upon the lines of their respective ancon structors ; that of the Mutine by Mr. Fincham, who a the Espiegle by Messrs. Read, Chatfield, and Creuze, _ io were formerly students at the College of_ Naval 1 on the Archi tecture at Portsmouth. The Mutine was d Pi' b ' uilt in the incredibly Fe bruary last, consequently it has been bunt y en e r in their form ap short space of ten weeks and two l d 3o ) men, including officers sels is to have a complement of . 30th of October, 1843, and the Es armament :—ten 32- pounders,and marines, with the following 18 -pounders, six 25 cwt., and two feet, six feet, sterns, and are alike, Both vessels have elliptic , gi E lao a an in ch d th o t e of 7ethesetEspiegle of N -es 20 cwt. s.scthhieienMutine.

Both vessels are, however, spoken very highly of, and must excite considerable interest among nautical men at the time of trial. Owing to the Mutine being in a much more complete state than the Espiegle, their relative draughts of water cannot be correctly compared at present. An opportunity will be afforded between the two ships when they are completed and floated out of dock.• It is rumoured that th; two brigs Osprey and Daring, recently launched at Portsmouth, are to have an increase of canvass in their four courses. This will certainly be unfair, unless the constructors of the two brigs now launched are allowed the option of the same advantage.

If you think the follow ing suggestions worthy of notice, by giving them a place in your valuable Journal for the consideration of the above-named Committee, you will confer a favour on your most obedient servant, J. D. Bradford, April 20. 1. Let the London Committee obtain the consent of the head authorities of fifteen or twenty of the principal cities and towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, to convene meetings for the making choice of Cammittees for carrying into effect the following, or similar, plan ; I have no doubt the example of a few principal places will be followed by all the rest, small and great. 2. That, on three given days, to be named by the London Committee, a general subscription for a " Na tional Testimonial to Mr. Hid" be entered into. 3. That the general subscription be confined to one penny. 4. That each Committee also receive private subscrip tions of, say 11. and upwards. 5. That each Committee properly announce, by pla card, the intended subscription, say a fortnight prior. 6. That each Committee, at the expiration of the third day forward the amount received to the London Com mittee, distinguishing the general from the private sub scription. 7. That the London Committee publish in one or more of the public papers the amount of general subscription received from each place. The individual amount of the private subscription to be also published. 8. That by having boxes similar to that of a letter re ceived at ti . post-office all confusion would be avoided. The number of boxes, of course, would be regulated ac cording to the size of the city, town, or village. My opinion is, that by having a certain number of days fixed upon, a greater interest would be created ; and if we are desirous of making a grateful acknow ledgment to Mr. Hill, it can be done as well in three days as a longer period. WILLS OF SIR FRANCIS AND LADY BURDETT. The will and codicils of the late Sir Francis Bur dett have been proved in Doctors' Commons by Sir Edmund Antrobus, E. Antrobus, jun., M.P., E.
