DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, Esq., General Register Office. ACTUARY—F. G. P. Neison, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terms than at most •tber offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1041 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten. tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly ; and in the Second plate, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. tween 15-60 years of age, and in the f.)llowing remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that mere than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva. lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other disease*, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases) f the head, heart, &c., it would be found that morn than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited-1n Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. OR reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its emulations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will he found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent, in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one.ffith of the other; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in Its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been appled to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, kc., the fluctuation was only 7i per ceht, and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation lid not exceed 6.2 per cent.; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Ike., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was t.. 4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a convictims of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctritu of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referrtd to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the -nortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, th.t, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not bees, confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as t* man) . aural districts in Eng land, and included the experience o one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunit/ of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition Oh the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been tteveloped, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater ; a the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of thti . e persons who suffer from disease the value of life it nearly the ame. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (via, Glasgow) 27.6 years—liffe rence 33 per cent. nearly; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendeney is developed, and who w'm ultimately die of consumption, and their expect att ri of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14 . 5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir sningham, 13 . 9 ; difference •017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former cane is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in fluenced by external circumstances. It hence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene. rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance effice, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum ; that is to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one•fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob. Seined on application at the Society's offices. r. G. P.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of RICHARD TOTHILL, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and a Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, London, who, from thirteen years practical experience upon himself, his family, and at the Exeter Ilygelan Dispensary, in upwards of 5,000 cases, has indubitably proved the truth of the Hy gean System of Medicine, and the fallacy of the contradictory theories pursued by the faculty at the present day. Mr. Tothill is the fourth son of the Rev. John Tothill, of Cheriton Bishop, Rector of Hillisleigh, in the county of Devon, and was horn at Cheriton Bishop, in the year 1800. He received the first part of his medical education with William Collins, Esq., surgeon, of Ken ton, Devon ; he ultimately concluded his studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and was examined for his diploma at the College of Surgeons, London, by the late John Abernethy-, Esq. The following is an extract of Mr. Tothill's case as published by him in 1835 : " I had passed my thirtieth year before I first saw the light—the true light that guided me to health—and from my boyhood I had passed a life of disease, physical misery, and woo. I began to run the gauntlet of all the remedies which physicians are in the habit of prescribing:—nothing had any effect in giving me ease. Thus I continued, year after year, straggling with disease.

Hope and Mr. Cripps, appeared at th e bar of the House, having been returned for the borough of Cirencester. The Noble Lord came to the table, but he was not sworn, as he had omitted to bring with him the necessary docu ments respecting his return. He did not, therefore, take his seat, but will do so probably on M on d ay. The House adjourned at twenty minutes past Twelve o'clock. The following is a more full report of the debate in the House of Lords on Friday, on the Railway Bill. We were obliged to abridge it for want of space on Saturday : On the order of the day for the third reading of the Railways Bill, The Bishop of LONDON moved an amendment on e 6th clause, for the purpose of relieving railway companies from the obligation of dispatching third class carriages on Sundays, Good Fridays, and Christ mas-days. He begged their Lordships to understand that he did not wish to prevent the railway companies from carrying this class of passengers on the Sabbath. His only object was to release the Government of this Christian country from the necessity of enforcing tra velling on the Lord's-day. Lord BROUGHAM said he was one of those who looked upon every thing which tended to the desecra tion of the Sabbath day and the interruption of Sabbath rest as a great evil, and as a breach of duty—and not only as not conducive, but as prejudicial to the interests of the poorer classes, and by that he meant, above all, the Nvorking classes—(Hear, hear)—but on the other hand, they ought to take into account one circumstance, Which was a fact of undeniable truth, that so far from the Sabbath being less well kept in this country now than in former times, it was in every way so much better kept, that there was no foundation whatever for the ex travagant and exaggerated zeal that many persons dis played who viewed as the great and crying evil of the present age the desecration of the Sabbath day—(Hear, hear)—for he must say, that with the exception of that country which had given him birth, there was not a country in Europe in which the Sabbath was better kept than in England.—(Hear, hear.) And if he were called upon to point out that one place in England where the greatest improvement in this important particular had taken place, he should point to that great metropolis in which they then were.—(Hear, hear.) When he remem bered, some fifteen or twenty years ago, the way in which it was not kept, and saw the great change which had now taken place, he confessed that to him the improvement appeared almost marvellous. For the purpose of having the Sabbath well kept, they must make the day a favourite with the people—they could not by legislation go further—for they would always find in the end that the keeping of the Sabbath mnst be regarded as a matter of morals and feeling, and not a thing they could enforce by making the desecration a punishable offence. That being the nature and condition of the question, the Parliament ought to take especial care in all they did, and in all they omitted doing in the matter, to carry public opinion with their legislation — (Hear, hear)—and, above all things, they should avoid anything that might have a tendency to make Sabbath keeping unpopular.—(Hear, hear.) Extreme puritanical rigour, and enforcing the keeping of the Sabbath, was not only bad in principle, and most pernicious in its con sequences, but more than anything else tended to frus trate the object they had in view, and by making the people hate the Sabbath, conduced manifestly and directly to Sabbath desecration.—(Hear, hear.) What he was anxious for was a just medium between the ascetic observance of Scotland and the laxity of Catholic countries in this respect ; and that was the medium which he thought this country was at taining. He wished to see the people attending their religious duties in the morning, and devoting the evening to healthful recreation and amusement. In some respects this was the case in other coun tries ; but still, as in Paris for instance, though there was a marked improvement upon the habitual and sys tematic desecration of the Sabbath, which had been in troduced at the Revolution, there was yet a disregard for that day exhibited in the carriage of timber and the empleyment of persons in their every-day occupations, which he should be sorry to see introduced here. If the people went to church in the morning of the Sunday, what harm could there be in their enjoying themselves in the evening of that day ? He was a friend to the maintenance of the sanctity of the Sabbath, and a great advocate for its reasonable observance. But could anything be more cruel than to prevent the poorer classes of Manchester, of Liverpool, and London, who were cooped up in the dark courts and alleys of those towns, and in the garrets, cellars, and work-rooms of Spitalfields, never or scarcely ever seeing the light of the sun during six days of the week, never breathing the fresh air during that time—could any thing be more cruel or unjust, than to interfere to prevent these people from walking out on the Sunday and enjoying, not the sight of the sun and the fresh air a little, but a little of the country also, at an expense they could bear.— SMe, obaer‘lane or tilt; olintran to go co tacurkai iii the morning, and in the evening to the country and the green fields, and, he said, let the people in God's name enjoy the country, if they could do so on that only day, and during those few hours of the week in which they were relieved from the toils of the week. He had lately come up from Brighton, on one of the finest mornings he had ever seen.—(A laugh.) He knew not why the health and amusements of the people should be made the subject of mirth, instead of one of a question of fellow-feeling and sympathy.—(Hear, hear.) He had recently travelled up from Brighton by the railway on one of the finest Sabbath mornings he had ever seen ; a train passed at the station where he stopped, and in that train he saw somewhere about 600 or 70r) persons as decently dressed as it was possible for them to be, with their wives and daughters, completely filling the cheap trains, and upon inquiring he found that they had to pay 4s. each as the fare to Brighton, 4s. to return, and allow ing them 4s. to spend there, he found that they thus, for some 105. or 125., could have the delight of a long and pleasing journey on the railway through the coun try, of seeing the green fields, and inhaling the fresh air during the journey ; and, more than all, of spending some three or four hours by the sea side. Could their Lordships be sensible to the advantages which these poor people thus derived, after having been pent up during six days in the heat, the filth, and the darkness of the streets and courts of London ? For his part, his (Lord Brougham's) heart leaped within him when he saw that large body of his fellow-countrymen and coun trywomen enjoying so wholesome and salutary, and, at the same time, so innocent a recreation.—(Hear, hear.) Innocent it was in the greatest degree, and enjoyed, as he believed it was, without any of that dissipation and immorality which, if by law they had been compelled to remain in town, either by a direct law to keep them in London, or by placing obstacles in the way of their going into the country, and by which, instead of spend ing the Sabbath soberly, healthfully, and morally, they would have kept it in the ale-houses or gin palaces which so plentifully studded this metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) For these reasons, and being always anxious to see as little prevention placed in the way of the innocent and healthful recreations of the poor during the only time which they could enjoy them, viz., the latter part of the Sabbath, he trusted that nothing that would interpose any obstacle to these recreations would meet with their Lordships' assent.—(Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that the conduct of the railway companies in making the accommodation of the poorer classes as painful as possible, 'rendered it neces sary that the Government should be empowered to in terfere. He opposed the amendment. The arrange ments for keeping the Sunday sacred were in most cases futile. In the Post-office, the Christian conscience of the Legislature was strict on Sunday in the metropolis, but it ceased to exist twelve miles out of town.—(Hear. hear.) He had found himself an instance where a steam boat was prevented from crossing the Severn on a Sun day, and yet he was allowed to transfer, from one side of the river to the other, his carriage, luggage, and family, by human labour. The amendment of the Right Reverend Prelate would not interfere with the travelling of the rich, whilst it would amount to an in terdiction of the travelling of the poor. As had been well said in the other House, the object of the amend ment was to indulge Dives and to restrain Lazarus.— (Hear, hear.) He implored the House not to introduce such an inequality between their Lordships and their less fortunate fellow-countrymen.—(Cheers.) The Earl of WICKLOW supported the amendment. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE denied that the clause would compel any railway company to run a carriage or a train on Sundays. It only compelled them to carry Lazarus if they chose to carry Dives.—(Hear.) It would only compel the companies to provide accom modation for the poor as well as for the rich.—(Hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that the discussion should be adjourned, as it appeared to him that the Bill was not entirely understood by his Noble Friend (the Earl of Wicklow). No one could desire to compel the railroad proprietors to run their carriages on Sundays. All that was desired was, that they should neither be compelled not prevented from travelling. All that was desired by this Bill was, that the railroad pro prietors should provide carriages of a particular descrip tion, and going at a certain rate, for third-class passen gers, and now it was proposed that where other persons travelled on a Sunday, that this class should be pre vented from doing so.—(Hear, hear.) , He begged to submit to' the Right Rev. Prelate one consideration, which he was sure the Right Rev. Prelate would feel. There was nothing to prevent persons travelling in third class carriages for three or four days together, in which days a Sunday might intervene. There could, then, be nothing more unreasonable than to require the third class passengers to remain stationary on Sundays, when the carriages of other classes were going forward. — (Cheers.) It could not be the intention of the amendment of the Right Rev. Prelate to do this ; for, in the first place, persons would by it be put to great expense, that expense falling upon those not well able to bear it ; and then he was afraid that it would happen, that at what ever place or railroad station those persons might hap pen, by his amendment, to be stopped on the Sunday, that they would not find the means of attending divine service, because they might not be able to find any place of religious worship capable of holding them, in addition to those who regularly attended them.—(Hear.) Under the circumstances, he thought they ought to adjourn the discussion till Monday next. The Earl of WICKL9W explained. Lord CAMPBELL thought the adjournment unne cessary, for he believed that the Heuse was now pre- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonTsmotmr, AUG. 2.—The Victoria and Albert Royal steam-yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, was taken out of dock yesterday and alongside the shears and masted ; she had also her new funnel fitted and fixed. There now appears some probability of this fine vessel being again fit for the service of her Royal owners. Her Noble Captain so journed in Portsmouth several days to expedite her fittings, and now she has terminated her long residence in dock, it may be presumed she really is to convey her Majesty and Prince Albert upon their marine excursions. The Seaflower cutter, Commander N. Robilliard, and Lily. 16, were undocked on Thursday ; the former, after having been overhauled and repaired ; the latter to be brought for ward to compete with the new experimental 12 gun brigs, which squadron, we are now told, will not be commissioned until the whole (brigs and competitors) are ready for the pendant. The Dwarf steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander W.Cham - berlayne, arrived from Plymouth on Tuesday, which she left on the previous day. On her passage, however, her boilers were found to leak, and she was consequently compelled to hoist canvass, under which she came into this harbour. She appears very ill adapted as a sailing craft, being exceedingly narrow and lugger-rigged, fitted with the screw instead of paddles. She is undergoing repairs in dock here. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretty man, arrived on Monday from Woolwich, and will remain at this port under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Rowley. The Firebrand steam-sloop was towed out of the basin on Monday. It is expected that Captain A. L. Corry will hoist a broad pendant as Commodore of the second-class on board this splendid vessel, and take the command of the experi mental squadron. The Queen, 110, Captain Martin, was taken out of dock and entered the basin alongside the jetty on Tuesday. She is entering hands to endeavour to make up her complement, and otherwise completing preparations for sailing, to take the command-in• chief at the Nore. The Collingwood, 80, Captain H. Eden, flag of Rear-Admi ral Sir G. Seymour, is still at Spithead waiting sailing orders. Her crew were mustered and inspected by Captain Eden (the Commander-in-chief, Sir Charles Rowley, being still in a very weak state of health) yesterday, and she will be paid two months' advance this day. The Spy brigantine, paid off at Chatham on Tuesday, will be overhauled and repaired, and be brought forward for re commission, being found too useful a vessel to be idle. - The America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, sailed frem Madeira on the 28th ult. for the Brazils. Private letters speak of her sailing qualifications as first-rate. The Amazon, 26, razde corvette, and Vulture, first-class steam-frigate, are both ready for the pendant at Sheerness. It is not expected that the Vernon, 50, will be recommis sioned at present. The Rose, 18, Commander H..R. Sturt, was at Vera Cruz on the 14th ult., awaiting the arrival of the Electra, 18, Com mander A. Darley, from the Leeward Islands, to relieve her. Terrific gales have been blowing since Tuesday morning from the north-west upon this coast. Their violence has been unprecedented for this time of the year. Considerable damage has been done to the corn standing near the beach, and many boats and other craft have dragged their anchors and gone out to sea. The violence of the wind is unabated, although the tumult of the waters is somewhat decreased. Yesterday and Wednesday the water washed over the walls of the town as the tide rose with fearful rapidity, and heavy showers have continued to pour down at short intervals ever since Tuesday morning. The new steam-basin in course of construction in the Royal dockyard, for vessels of war, is rapidly being proceeded with, and when finished will form one of the most complete and spacious establishments of the kind in the world. Three new building-slips, for ships of any class, are also in rapid course of completion. These are in lieu of those demolished to enlarge the site of the new steam-basin. The Prince Regent is in speedy course of cutting down from a first-rate to a 90-gun ship. Her new elliptic stern, which is now being fitted, will add greatly to her beauty and appearance. The Vindictive, 50, Captain J. Toup Nicolas, is in bar. bour, returning stores, preparatory to being paid off. It is not expected, however, she will remain long out of commis sion, being such a crack ship. IMPORTANT COURT-MARTIAL. SECOND DAY. Tlamwries••••• • • . • • late commander of her Majesty's - firtgantine Bonetta. At the request of Lieut. Gray, Mr. Elworthy read the defence, as follows :—The first charge, and that in which, individually, I am the most interested (as I believe I may venture to sa y no evidence has or can be adduced to connect me with thi second and third charges), is for disobedience of orders in causing the French vessel to be detained and searched, she having at the time displayed her proper colours, &c. Gen tlemen, I beg to state that it never was my intention to ground my defence on my not having received the orders, the breach of which is charged on me. I admit that I had them, and I shall, I trust, show this Court that I intended to be guided by them. As I understand the question for the deliberation of this Court upon this first charge, it is whether or not there was any sufficient cause for me to suspect that the vessel which I saw with the French colours was not bond fide a French vessel. I do not understand that the hoisting a French flag was of itself to preclude me from satisfying my self of the nationality of the vessel; because if the mere act of hoisting such colours would entitle the vessel so hoisting them to the benefits of the convention between France and England, the effect would be to give protection to the slave trade, inasmuch, as in my case, there are ships looking out for slavers which are not supplied with French warrants. I therefore submit, that if I establish to the satisfaction of this Honourable Court reasonable cause of suspicion, I shall be entitled to an acquittal of this charge for dis obedience of orders in having boarded the Luiz d'Albu querque, and examined her papers. Beyond this, gentle men, I do not attempt to justify the search which was made. I never intended it should be made, and I am compelled to say I never intended she should be searched ; neither did I, as far as I have any knowledge of what I did, give an order for the vessel to be searched. It will be for the Court, when the evidence is produced, to judge whether the officer who searched acted under a misapprehension of my order or not. As to the grounds for suspecting this vessel, I would first state that the exterior appearance answered entirely to the description of one I was in search of, stated to be a Brazilian from Bahia. Her build and rigging were precisely that of the Brazilian slavers. She was in the exact position I should have expected to meet the vessel I was in search of. We chased her for twenty-four hours before we came up to her. During that time she steered a course to avoid me, and, up to the moment of her hoisting the colours, I and all on board took her for a Brazilian slaver. Upon her hoisting French colours I remarked, " If she is French we cannot keep her." Gentlemen, what led me to this remark ? It was my know ledge of the orders, and that I had not a French warrant. But should I have performed my duty to my country, if, with these suspicions on my mind, I had instantly given up the chase? My feeling is, that I should not, and I most re spectfully beg to put this part of the case prominently to every individual member of this Hon. Court. If it was my duty to have instantly left the chase and resumed my station, without taking steps to identify her nationality, then I am guilty of a breach of my orders, but guilty under a gross mis conception of those orders, and of the service I was engaged in. But if you, gentlemen, should be of opinion that under these suspicions, I ought not to have been satisfied, by the mere exhibition of the flag, but, that I had a right to board the vessel to look at her papers and ascertain the truth, if I may so term it, of the colours, then I hope you will find, at the end of this case, that, as in the commencement I acted as became an officer, so I continued to act to the end of the matter; and, it is well known that the hoisting of false co lours is a very common deception. The French flag is not very frequently desecrated by affording its sanction to slavers, and therefore I the more readily doubted its being the true flag of the vessel. With this impression I ordered, in the usual way, the second in command to go on board the French vessel, and examine her papers strictly. The fact of the men I going armed, and of their being picked men, are, I humbly submit, quite unimportant, because, for whatever purpose they were sent, they would not go to a suspected slave ves sel unarmed; besides, I intended they should go on this occa sion to a vessel which I suspected would prove a prize. These were the facts which preceded my sending the boat—these the grounds of my suspicions—and these, I think, are all the circumstances which are involved in the first question, my sending the boat to examine the papers. I look at the hands of this lion. Court for that consideration which is always accorded to an officer in the zealous execution of his duty; and, although I do not ask for myself anything but what the facts of the case fairly justify, yet I do ven ture to beseech this Honourable Court to give to all the circumstances thus far alluded to the construction, which they would fairly bear if they were entirely separated from, and wholly unconnected with, any other p art of the case. Now, gentlemen, it is for me to satisfy you as well as I am able, that it never was my intention to search thisb vessel, and, therefore, that I did not give the order. to refer to that part of the evidence for th e prosecution, which e proves that I sent an order to stop the search. The witness said said he received an order by a quartermaster stop e search ; he was asked if that was done after my report from I him that he was searching , and his answer being in the affirmative, the conclusion would be that I had altered my mind, or that I thought they had searched enough. But, gentlemen, the fact was, that having requested the clerk (Mr. Parminter) to assist in examining the papers, and not seeing our men, being on deck, I thought they were doing that which I had not ordered, and I sent the quarter - master , with an order that they were not to sea rch. From the time my attention was drawn to the transaction, by their Lord ships' first letter, to this present moment, I have asserted, both verbally and in my official correspondence, that Lieut. Bullock acted under a misconception of my order. I now declare, upon my honour, that I never did intend, nor, ac cording to my knowledge, did I, in fact, order Lieut. Bullock to search the, vessel. That officer does not positively state, that I gave such an order. He says that he acted under the impression he had received such an order. As further proof of the improbabilit y o f my giving such an order, I would remark, that a search would not have proved of the least advantage, even if we had found slaves on board, because I had not the warrant ; but it was essential to be sure that she was truly French. I submit, that in the ab sence of positive proof, and seeing that in all the other points of this case my conduct was that of an officer carefully exe cuting a duty of great delicacy, this Court will give to my solemn assertion that weight which, in a doubtful case, it would reasonably be entitled to. I have been much employed in service of this nature, and have ever been particularly careful. Amongst my testimonials there will be found special reference to my conduct on similar occasions. I will now proceed to what subsequently occurred. On my - arriving on board, I saw three or four Portuguese. The master (Bello) stated that be had no chronometer; that he was on a voyage from Bahia to Wydah, and produced his log, which comisted of lopse sheets of paper recently written, the ink being wet. I had not the least doubt of the vessel being a slaver. I saw the recently prepared papers, yet I knew that if truly French, I could not detain her, and, therefore, most retuctantly quitted the ship, first entering on the log a minute of my visit, and t'he cause of my not detaining the vessel. Although I apprehend that no part of the evidence already given sup ports the second and third charges, I shall feel it my bounden duty, with leave of this Hon. Court, to'place the truth indis putably upon the minutes by prodifcing all the officers I can find who were on board the French vessel, as well as to show what were my orders on board as to the return of the boat, and I trust there will not exist any ground for imputation of neglect or want of discipline. A statement of Lieutenant Gray's services waa here handed into Court, together with - a number of testimenials from various distinguished officers under whom he had served, who spoke of him in the highest terms as an officer and a gentleman. Captain Foote, of her Majesty's ship Madagascar, was the first witness called, and in answer to questions by the pri soner, said— As commanding officer on the African station, if I saw a vessel under the French flag, which I suspected to be a slaver, I should feel it my duty to board her; to ask the cap tain in the most polite and courteous manner to let me see her papers, and, having ascertained she was a bond fide French vessel, immediately to quit her, if the weather would permit me to do so ; but, if I had any reasonable grounds of suspicion from incorrectness or falsity of the papers, then I would take upon myself the responsibility of detaining that vessel as a slaver, and search accordingly. By the COURT—Does Captain Foote think the papers were false ? Captain Foote—l don't know anything about the circum stances. I was perfectly satisfied with Lieutenant Gray's official letter to Commander Hope transmitted to me in the usual course of service, and reporting his having boarded the Luiz d'Albuquerque on the 4th of July, 1842, because Lieutenant Gray stated in that letter, that although the Luiz d'Albuquerque was f u lly equ ipp e d for the slave trade, vet he could not detain her, having no warrant so to do ; but there was nothing in that letter relating to the searching. All officers employed on the west coast of Africa on boarding a French or American vessel report direct to the Admiralty, per order, without waiting to do so through the medium of the commanding officer. _ . The following queition was then Put to the witness by the prisoner —Would you have been satisfied with my conduct if I had not examined the papers of the Luiz d'Albuquerque under the circumstances? Captain Foote—lf I had received information that Lieutenant Gray had seen a vessel which hoistea French colours, and had not ascertained her nationa lity, I should have been very highly displeased, I,ecause I consider that the mere display of a }much flag may be done by the most arrant Brazilian and Portuguese slaver, to avoid capture ; and it is very frequently done on the west coast of Africa, both with the French and - American flags. What is your opinion of the state of discipline of the Bonetta whilst under your command? Captain Foote—l never saw the Bonetta but once, about March, 1843. I then, in the usual course of service, inspected her, and I was per fectly satisfied with her state of discipline. Mr. W. APDermott, assistant-surgeon, deposed to having gone on board the Luiz d'Albuquerque with the other offi cers; the object of the Bonetta going to New Sestos was to look after a vessel of which they had received information,, supposed to be a slaver. They saw the Luiz d'Albuquerque the day before she was boarded, and chased her until they came up with her. lie thought, after he was on board of her, that she was a suspicious vessel, from seeing two or three persons on board dressed in Spanish or Portuguese costume, and from the captain not coming to receive the officers, and when he made his appearance being much agitated. There were several suspicious articles on board—farina and beef, which is generally used fur feeding slaves, a slave deck, which was pointed out to him by Mr. Elliott, and some slave irons. Mr. W. Parminter, clerk on board her Majesty's ship Col lingwood, and late clerk in charge of ker Majesty's ship Bo netta, said, that about two a.m. on the 4th July the haze cleared off, and they saw apparently the same vessel. Chased, and fired a gun at a quarter-past 'three. She did not hoist her colours until several minutes after the gun was fired,nor did she bear up till a few minutes after that. She got to leeward of the Bonetta about four o'clock, and he went on board in the cutter with Mr. Bullock, Mr. Elliott, and Dr. M'Dermott, with eight men. The passengers were not all noted down in the papers, and his log was written on sheets of paper apparently done that morning, from the colour of theink being the same throughout. Samuel Dumpily, Greenwich pensioner, was in the Bo netta on the day alluded to, and that he was doing duty as master-at-arms, and that he searched the men one by one as they came up the ship's side from the boats, on their return from boarding the French vessel, and that he went down afterwards and searched the boats, and found nothing what ever except a case of wine and a box of cigars, belonging to one of the officers. Lieutenant George L. Norcock, of her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, had served several years on the coast of Africa, and had repeatedly during that period of service boarded vessels to ascertain their nationality. By the prisoner—lf a vessel hoisted French colours, and you suspected her of being a Brazilian slaver, what would have been your duty if commanding a cruiser? Lieutenant Norcock—Having commanded her Majesty's brig Forester on that coast 18 months, I always considered it my duty, on observing a vessel, to chase her, bring her to, and board her, and ascertain her nationality. Finding I was duly authorised to search, I did so. If I found she had not hoisted false colours I did not search her. During three years I served on the coast of Africa, I found that vessels were in the habit of hoisting any colours they pleased. A cruiser, therefore, could never ascertain what nation they belonged to, or what trade they were employed in, as they frequently had both false papers as well as false colours, and the true ones have been frequently found concealed in the most extraordinary places. The Court was then cleared for a short time, and upon its being re-opened. _ _ _ The PiESIDENT declared that the Court was of opinion that the ethArgthild-hce l l..l4We.d.; Mas this mocivik..tlyiv. primrnded, and cautioned him to be more particular in giving orders for the future. The finding of the Cot►rt appeared to astonish all those who had listened to the evidence. THE REGATTA AT HAVRE DE GRACE. The superiority of the English watermen has been again proved in the regatta at Havre. Encouraged by the success which has hitherto attended them in their competition with our continental neighbours, two six-oared cutter crews, composed of London watermen, made their appearance at Havre to contend for some valuable prizes, " open to all the world," but their reception was anything but consistent with the spirit of fair play. The boats they had taken over were objected to by the Frenchmen, and although they had new ones themselves the English watermen were compelled to row in two old ones of their selection or decline the contest. The latter was not at all congenial with their feelings, so they set to work scraping, dressing, repairing, and altering, the boats to which they were perfectly unaccustomed, to render them as fast as they could for the event, in whi c h they were determined to take an active part notwithstanding the difficulties that had been thrown in their way. The trial beat was rowed on Sunday, and eleven boats were afloat in it, The London crews consisted of R. Coombes, J. Phelps, R. Newell, T. Coombes, IL Doubledee, H. Green, and D. Coombes, coxswain, in one boat; and W. Pocock, James Dodd, W. Shelton, F. Lett, W. Robins, C. Campbell, and J. Parish, coxswain, in the other. It was a runaway race, and won by Coombes' party being first, and Pocock's second. On Monday the French crews did not row, because it rained, and Lett's place was taken by Parish, T. Dewes steering. The grand heat was rowed with six boats on Tuesday, when the foreigners hemmed in the English boats directly after the start, and the French pilot-boat carried off the 1,500 francs, Pocock's party being second, and Coombes' third ; thus receiving 300 francs as second, and 200 francs as third. In the whale-boat race for 1,000 francs, the Londoners hav ing borrowed an old boat and " operated" upon her as before, mixed their crews, and the following stepped into her to give their opponents some work :—Charles Campbell, Phelps, Newel, Dodd, and Pocock, D. Coombes steering. Five boats started, but the Londoners went away from them, and won in gallant style. Our men complain very severely of the treatment they altogether received as wagermen. GRAVESEND.
