NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ' The Nancy Dawson, schooner-yacht, that has been so deservedly famed for the energetic and spirited assistance she rendered to the Herald and Plover, in their explora tion to the north of Behring's Straits, last summer, when under the command of her (late) enterprising owner, Mr. Sheddon, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, at noon (we on that day announced her arrival at Plymouth), under the command of Mr. James S. Hill, late master f the Herald, surveying vessel. The Nancy Dawson was built by Mr. Camper, of Gosport. She is 163 tons O. M. burden, and was fitted in 1848 by Mr. Sheddon, her owner and captain, for a voyage round the world. She was armed with four six pound, rs and guns, had a complement of thirty men and 'hree officers, and sailed from Leith 19th of March, 1848, consequently has been absent from England two years and about four months. She has had one of the most interesting voyages on record, and it is to be regretted that her intelligent and persevering owner did not live . to give it to the world. As we think it may be interesting to some of our readers, we give her route. From Leith she proceeded to Porto Santo and Madeira Teneriffe, and St. Jago, to Rio, where she watered and provisioned. From Rio to the island of Tristian de Cunha, sighted the Cape—an chored in Bezannah Bay, on the west coast of Mada gascar, to the island of Johanna to Bombay to refit. From Bombay to Goa, Point de Galle, Ceylon, Calulu brian Bay in Sumatra, through the Straits of Sunda, touching on Anger and Batavia, passing through the island groups of the Malaccas and Macassar to Hong-Kong. From Hong-Kong the yacht proceeded to the Loo choo group of islands, from thence to Japan, then north to the harbour of Petropsalorich in Kamschatka, re maining there a short time. She then passed through 13-?hring'e Straits to Kotzebue'a Sound, where she fell in with, and proceeded north with, the exploring ships Herald and Plover to Wainwright's Inlet. The waters bounding the north extreme of the American conti nent proving too shoal for the Herald and Plover, Mr. Sheddon nobly volunteered to proceed with the boat expedition to the Mackenzie River as far as the water and ice would permit, and he rendered Lieutenant Pullen, who had charge of the boats, much valuable and timely assistance on various occasions; nor did he quit the boats until the water proved too shoal and the field ice came in so as to render further advance for the Nancy Dawson totally impracticable. The yacht, however, reached Elson's Bay in longitude 154 W., about two degrees further to the N.E. of Behring's Straits than any sailing vessel had hitherto gone. She there awaited the return of two boats that, having been loaded with pro visions were ordered to attend on Lieutenant Pullen , and gave him a last supply; these boats the yacht towed back to the Herald and Plover in Kotzebue's Sound. After remaining in the sound for some time to refit, the Herald and Nancy Dawson sailed for Mazatlan, leaving the Plover secured for the winter close under Choris Peninsular. The two vessels arrived at Mazatlan on the 13th November. Mr. Sheddun had been for the last pre vious six weeks unwell and complaining, and on the 16tk he died very deeply regretted ,by the officers and crews of both vessels. When the yacht left Kotzebue's Sound Mr. W. F. Parsons (second master) had been lent to her from the Herald to assist in her navigation, but on the death of Mr. Sheddon, the master of the Herald, Mr. Hill took command of the yacht to bring her home, Mr. Parsons being appointed acting master of the Herald. The Nancy Dawson sailed from Mazatlan the 10th of December (leaving the Herald, Captain Kellett, C. 8., at Cape Lucas, about to resume her survey at Guanos), and arrived at Valparaiso on the 27th February. On the 13th March she sailed from Valparaiso (leaving there the Dm ialus, 19, Captain Wellesley, and the Ne reus, store depot), and entered the Straita of Magellan on the let of April. She here fell in with a whole fleet of American vessels—ships, steamers, and schooners— bound to California. O n e vessel had been wrecked at Barranca Point, in the first narrows of the straits; the crew were saved by the Gorgon. The Gorgon ha also assisted several others—one that had lost all her ground tackle, and she supplied her with anchors. Oa the 9th of April the Nancy Dawson fell in with the exploring ship Enterprise, Captain Collinson, and the Gorgon, steamer, Captain Painter. She remained two days in company with these vessels and brought home dispatches for the Ad miralty and a quantity of letters, leaving them at the eastern entrance of the Straits of Magellan on the 11th of April. The Investigator had parted company with the Enterprise in the English Channel soon after sail ing from England, and had not joined when the yacht parted from the latter ship (intelligence from Captain Collinson, of a later date than that brought by the Nancy Dawson, announces the satisfactory information that the Investigator joined him in the Straits on the 16th of April). It was the intention of Captain Collin son, in order to save time, to proceed with his ships direct to the Sandwich Island, in the hope of getting to the north of Behring'e Straits before the winter set in. The Nancy Dawson put into Bahia on the 14th of May for provisions and water. The fever was reported to be on the decline; it had been very fatal on board the merchant vessels—many were lying there in want respectablege an d homeschiinhabitants bo a mail from that port.

She landed her mail and letters, and sailed on the 4th, irriTimg at brtiroutb en the 6th (Saturday), Wing b en absent from England two years and three months. During the time she has been circumnavigating the globe and exploring strange countries, she has endured all sorts of climates, the extremes of. heat-and cold, and has experienced all sorts of weather from calms to tor nadoes; but she has comparatively suffsred but little damage. She is said to be a mos.'. excellent sea boat, and has hardly strained a rope yarns. She has also been very I. ealthy ; only two persons hive died on board (with the exception of, her gallant and enterprising; owner), a'id these were unhealthy persons when she first sailed. She is rigged fir hard service as a two top sail schooner, is extremely snug, and is not over-masted as yachts generally are. The /Casey Dawssn spoke the following vessels on her route home; on the 11th of April she left at anchor in Possession flay, at the easternmost entrance of the Straits of Magellan, the Enterprise, exploring ship, Captain Collinson, C. 13., and - the Gorgon, steam-erigste, Commander Paynter; the Investigator, R.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.--Tbe vengeance, 84, Capt. Sir Henry Blackwood, having been stripped, her topsail and lower yards only remaining across, and her unser viceable stores having been all returned, the officers and crew received leave on shore, on Saturday eveningi to Tuesday evening, as, on account of her pay-book not being completed, she will not be paid off till Wednesday. As her copper is supposed to be in a bad state the Ven geance will come into dock to have it examined. • The Medea, steam-sloop, Commander Lockyer, having been dismantled, off the King's-stairs, was taken round to the steam-basin on Saturday; she will be paid off on Monday. The Cuckoo, steamer, was taken out of dock on Satur day morning, sad the Fairy royal yacht-steamer was brought in to. have her bottom scrubbed down, &c. 'Polyphemus, aloop-steamer, has been fitted and rigged in the old basin. Si; is to be taken to Wool wich by Mr. M`Donald, master attendant, and a party of riggers, who will bring back to Portsmouth the Retribution. Geyser. steam-sloop, that arrived under sail from the Cape on Friday evening, sailed again. on Saturday morn ing, for Woolwich, to pay off. It is reported that the Fox, 42 (an old 38-gun frigate lengthened by the bow), that has just received a thorough repair, will be commissioned for the India, broad pendant ship, instead of the Medea, iron steamer. The Dragon steam-frigate is ordered to be com missioned at this port by Captain Henry Wells Giffard with Turkisha complement squadron efi 200 a dailym n expected here, and it is . A said Captain Slade (additional of the Queen) has the escort of the squadron to Spithead. The Trafalgar, 120, is expected to be commissioned daily at Sheerness, to replace the Howe on the Medi terranean station. The south wind has shifted, and it now blows a strong breeze from the N.E., with cloudy weather and occa• sionally showers of rain. The following young gentlemen have lately been ap pointed naval cadets from Dr. Burney's Academy, Gos port:—Messrs.*George Gregorie and Edward Kirby, to the Indefatigable; Mr. George Bridges, to the Phaeton; Messrs. C. kligg Wither, William Kerr, and John Swann, to the Aretbusa; Mr. Richard Onslow, to the Victory; Mr. Digby Morant, to the Impregnable; Mr. J. Louis Hope, to the Albion. The Commander-in -Chief of the Pacific station will bare had his flag hoisted for the term of three years next month. Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., is absent from the Admiralty, on the Continent. A return has been called for by the House of Com mons of the names and present rank of all naval and military officers holding any civil appointment, stating the nature of the office held by each, date of appoint ment, and the rank held at the time of such appointment, the amount of salary, half-pay pensions and allowancea received by them respectively, and whether on the active or retired list, distinguishing the total amount re ceived by each. The sentence of the court-martial on First Lieute nant Usher, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, for assaulting Lieutenant Newton, of the same division, was formally a severe reprimand. It is generally thought, however, that his professional prospects will not suffer by the sentence passed upon him. RETIRED PROMOTIONS FROM TUN MASTERS' LIST. —The following officers have recently retired from the active list of masters, with the rank of commander:— Mr. Morice, master-attendant of Deptford-yard, on 12a. 6d. per diem. Mr. W. Walker, Queen's harbour master at Ply mouth, on 12s. 6d. per diem. Mr. Charles Brown, master attendant and Queen's ' harbour-master at Portsmouth, on 12s. 6d, per diem. Mr. Gosman, of the Fisgard, flag-ship, Woolwich, on .os. 6d. per diem. Mr. Bellamy, the master attendant at Woolwich dock , yard, has retired in consequence of continued ill-health, but not having served the allotted time, he is not eli gible for promotion. The above retirements have made vacancies in almost the dockyards. Commander Morice, of Deptford, has been succeeded by Mr. Pearn ; Mr. Macdonald, formerly master of the Royal yacht, and previously of the Rodney, has been promoted from assistant-master attendant of Portsmouth to supersede Mr. Bellamy as master-attendant at Woolwich ; Mr. Underwood, assist ant-master-att aidant at Sheerness, has been promoted to Commander Brown's office at Portsmouth ; Mr. Da vey, supernumerary assistant-master attendant at Devon port, succeeding Mr. Macdonald, at Portsmouth, and Mr. Charles Pope, master of the flag-ship at De vonport, succeeding Mr. Underwood, at Sheer ness. Commander Walker has been superseded by Mr. Thompson, master of the flag-ship at Portsmouth, and formerly of the Albion. Mr. Hender son, the able and respected master-attendant of Devon port commanderDo ckyard,on will the thel2bea. 6d. list next to, when n o retire with doubt iththe . rank of Mills, the assistant -master attendant, will be promoted to his place; and, in all probability, Mr. Brown, of the ordinary flag-ship Agincourt, will succeed Mr. Mills.

The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, having her steam up, the party were conveyed on board in the pinnace of the Fisgard, and proceeded down the river to Sheerness, where they went on board the Ocean, 80, flagship at that port, and afterwards went alongside the Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, at the Nore, where she has arrived to be paid off at Sheerness. The master of the band and twelve of the men of the Woolwich division were on board the Black Eagle. Dancing was kept up for nearly an hour after the vessel had arrived and was attached to her moorings at Woolwich, at half-past eight o'clock, P.N. The day being remarkably fine, the party expressed themselves highly delighted with the trip. Commodore E len having gone to town in the afternoon, Lieutenant Robertson, Mr, Lang, master shipwright, and Mr. Humphrys, chief engineer, received the Rear- Admiral and party on landing, and the whole of the company left the Dockyard station of the North Kent Railway at ten o'clock, P.M., by special train for London.

We may briefly state, howev er, that his'services during fifteen years afloat were all of a des p erate character, and entitled him to a higher rank a nd more marked distinction than he t m a n n t .by a irgr enjoyed. In the space of two years he assisted in making at least 1,000 prisoners, and in capturing 27 national gun yes. eels, 87 sail of merchantmen, and one privateer.

LIVEUPOOL, S UNDAY.—By the Royal mail steam ship Canada, Cs ptain Harrison, we have New York papers to the 2‘. ith, Boston to the 26th, and Halifax to the 28th ult. i .espectively. In addition, we have a telegraphic come lirnication, via the latter port, con taining news from New York to the 27th. The steam-ship , Niagara arrived at New York on %he 27th. The royal mail steam-ship Thames arrived at Mobile on the 19th with 300,000 dolls. in specie on freight. The steam-ships Ohio and Crescent City were at New York, from California, with gild to the amount of 400,000 dolls. Advices from San Francisco ' CalVornia, to the 15th or May had been received at New York by the Crescent City. This steamer had about 250,000 dolls. in gold dust, all in private handy. Another destructive fire took 'place at San Francisco on the morning of May 4, reducing nearly one-third of the city to ashes, and consuming property to the amount of 5,000,000 dolls. The fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary, for whose detection a reward of 5,000 dolls. is offered. The health of Chagres and Panama was good. Gold was still found in abundance. The most ex travagant stories are told of Tuolumo Placer, lately discovered on the river of that name, near Columbia city. The Stockton Times says that a simple state ment of facts far surpasses the most wondrous dream of the necromancer. It states that lumps of pure gold, had been found to the depth of 60 feet from the surface, and that two large masses of gold, one weigh ing 231 b. 20z., the other 10;b.• lloz., had been dug from the placer. The at New Orleans had found true grant_ jury bills against General Lopez, Mr. Sigur. Governor Quitman, Judge C. Pinckney Smith, of Mississippi ; ex-Governor Henderson, Mr. O'Sullivan, and ten other of the Cuban invaders. The reported release of the prisoners taken by the Cuban authorities appears to be incorrect. Their trial was still in progress on board the Spanish 74 lying in the port. A strict guard was stationed around the vessel, so as to pre vent any communication. The United States Con sul, Mr. Campbell, and the naval commander, Com mander Randolph, were refused permission to hold any intercourse with the prisoners. The authorities declared that they should be tried by the laws of maritime nations, and, if found guilty, visited with just punishment. Several deaths have occurred among the prisoners. Two United States vessels of war were lying off in the harbour, awaiting further orders. In the Senate on the 24th Mr. Abbot Lawrence's appointment as Minister to England was confirmed. The debates in Congress had not resulted in the ac complishment of any of the slavery measures which have been before the House for such a length of time. A formidable crevasse had broken out in the Mis sissippi, at the Grand Levee, in the parish of Point Coupee, which threatened the most serious damage to some of the richest and most fertile portions of Louisiana. The first break took place on the 10th instant, and in two days were found by measurement to be 150 yards wide. Every attempt to arrest its progress had been abandoned, and the worst fears in regard to its effects seemed likely to be realized. From Port au Prince we learn that the island of Hayti was in a state of perfect tranquillity. Business was reduced to en extreme point of depression. Money was scarce, and little copper, logwood, or mahogany in the market. Advises from Guadaloupe report that the insurrec tion among the negroes had been completely quelled by the Government, several of the principal ring leaders having been shot. We learn from Venezuela that General Paez had sailed for St. Thomas's, en route to the United States. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 25. MONEY MARKET. The transactions in the commercial world since our last issue have been without importance. The tendency of the stock market has been downward, and the limited operations afford hardly movement enough fur quota tions. A few Government Sixes, '67, have been sold at 115 i to 1151; '56, at 1061; '62, at 1111; and '6B, at 1151. For the new Ohio Loan, '75, Sixes, 115 is bid. Generally in State Stocks there is nothing doing. The supply in the market is very small. Erie bonds are 105 i, and 973- for first and second mortgages. Money on short call, and even for 69 or 90 days, con tinues to press on the market at 3} to 4 per cent. on the better class of stocks. On stocks in fair repute 41 to 5 per cent. is paid. The banks have large amounts of money to lend, and this is, we understand, particularly the case with the savings banks. The coming two weeks will release at least 1,000,000 of coin from our Sub treasury, and in addition to this we shall probably re ceive 1,500,000 of golddust from California. From these sources an amount of coin will be poured into the banks four times as large as can be abstracted by the de mand for shipment to Europe, even should exchange re main at its present high point. The current opinion appears to be that these shipments can in no event ex ceed 5,000,000 during the season, and probably will not reach 3,000,000. Either amount we can lose without any embarrassment to our moneyed institutions, in view of the continued accession from California and the in terior. The market for exchange is very firm, although not active. Sterling is held at 10 to 10i, with moderate business. Francs are better, and leading drawers ask 5 20 to 525 for 60 days' bills. Cotton—The sales to-day were 2,000 bales. The letters per Cambria were delivered this morning. The same strain runs through all of them that we have heard of. " Holders offer their supplies so freely that, fearing to hold for a day, they have offered through five or six brokers on the same day." "From some free publica tions that have been made here, it is evident you are quisling us about another short crop—we fear it is in tended for our side only, and do not intend to allow OUT. selves to be duped by such a tremendous humbug." Holders on this side do not consider it a humbug, nor do we believe that a solitary published account has over stated the probable deficiency from the next crop. Cer tainly none have been published in this parer , near so bad as several letters received to-day from Mississippi and Louisiana state it. The market has not been sup plied as freely with samples this week as heretofore, and, each day that has elapsed has given a decided advan tage to holders, who only replace the samples disposed of by others a shade inferior in quality, and a shade higher in prices, and, as buyers are well aware that this is the cheapest market in the country, they have shown continued avidity to increase their purchases.' Several orders were executed in this market the past week for one of the largest corporations at Lawrence, Massachu setts, who buy reluctantly here, and simply because clean cottons are almost impossible to procure at any of the Southern Gulf ports. The prices paid to-day in dicate a market ranging from a half to five-eighths of a cent advance since the departure of the America, on the 19th inst., with only about half the quantity on sale. We hav, taken great pains to estimate the actual stock in this city, and are quite satisfied that our previous ba lance was correct. We have put it usually at from 20,000 to 25,000 less than others, which would give a stock of 85,000 bales, by deducting the amount recently taken out of the city. It is estimated by a brokerage firm, who have been several days revising it, not to ex ceed 80,000 bales available. We annex the quota tions at which buyers are disposed to meet holders. The asking prices aro about one-quarter cent above these figures:— The prices for Liverpool classification are— New Orleans, Mobile, and Texas. 12 Inferior Ordinary Good ordinary Middling Good middling Middling fair Fair Fully fair Good fair Fine Stack in city, in all hands, estimated at 82,000 bales.

Southern flour was steady with sales of 1,300 barrels at 5 dolls. 44c. for inferior, 5 dolls. 500. to 5 dolls. 62*e. for mixed to straight bands Alexandria, Baltimore, and Georgetown. There was a fair demand for corn-meal, and holders were firm. Sales embraced 100 barrels of Jersey at 2 dolls. 94c., 200 barrels of state on terms not aseertained,.and 300 barrels of Brandywine at 3 dolls. 25c. Wheat was very quiet. There was more offering, but no sales have transptred. Rye was in mo derate request, and firm; about 2,200 bushels changed hands at 61c. delivered. There was a fair inquiry for corn, and the market showed more firmness. The sales reached 35,000 bushels, at 601 c. for heated, 62e. to 63c. for western mixed, 640. to 64*c. for northern yellow, and 65c, for Jersey yellow, as in condition.

FALMOUTH, JULY 7.—Her M'ijesty's packet Crane, Lieutenant Parsons, has just arrived from Rio Janeiro, May 14 ; Bahia, May 29 ; Pernambuco, June 3. She has a specie freight, amount not ascer tainable, as the packet has come in just as the mail is starting for London. The returns of deaths at Rio, from yellow fever, gave 14,000 inhabitants, 120 English residents, 150 English sewn, including 8 masters and' 18 mates ; a great number of foreign seamen, not computed ; the Portuguese line-of-battle ship Vasca d'Gama lost 150, and the Constitution 100. Her Majesty's ship Tweed, 18 officers and seamen ; and the Cormorant 12. Trade remained stagnated. The disease was abating at each of the ports except among the ship ping. A large French fleet was lying in the River Plate, but this packet brings nothing decisive from that quarter. TO THE 'SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 3d, the House met as usual on Wednesdays at noon, but was immediately adjourned in consequence of the fatal result of the accident to Sir Robert Peel. On Thursday the House met again at the same hour, but speedily separated to meet again at half.past four, with the un derstanding that the Ministers were then to appear for the purpose of opening the public business with due tributes of respect to the memory of the departed statesman. Tnese, being concluded, the House proceeded to consider a motion aimed at the proposed Exhibition of 1851. Nothing is clearer, than that the Exhibi tion would be no where, if the fears of every man, woman, and child, who sees in it the perils of heavy carts bringing heavy materials, and base " lower orders" crowding to view their betters enjoying themselves, and the seventy thousand persons with no visible means of living who inhabit the metropolis rushing to their support, and provincial Chartists hurrying up to try their discontents in a London atmosphere, and " gabbling" foreigners talking every man of his own affairs in his own tongue, to say nothing of the de cided unwholesomeness of all foreign goods admitted into the country, are to be allowed to have their course. A judge of the land takes up the strain, and dwells on the apprehensions of an invalid sitter in moving terms. But where is the Exhibition to be, where there will be no invalid sisters ? And is no notice to be taken, on the other hand, of the multi tude of wives, and sisters, and children, and brothers, who are looking forward to the Exhibition as what is directly or indirectly to redound to their good? The truth, it is to be apprehended is, that a great portion of these dislikes, are dislike to the thing in tended. There appears no call for entering on the examination here ; but the only wonder is that the dislike does not express itself in directer terms. You that have interest in the Exhibition of 1851, can tell by the rule of contraries, who will have an interest the other way, and why. On the whole it is a con soling fact, that the mass of dislikes as repre sented in the House of Commons, could only muster a force of 46 against 166. The Committee on the Friendly Societies Bill, in which I imagine you have some interest, was deferred till Friday the 12 , 11. There is therefore time for you to act if you wish it. On Friday the night was occupied by a motion for repealing the Malt Tax. There is no denying that the Malt Tax presses upon the landed interest by preventing all the land being appropriated to growing barley which would otherwise be profitable. And there is no denying that it presses on the commercial interest, —which interest you are, —by preventing bar ley being grown abroad and bought with your goods, to the extent which would take place if the tax were out of the way. From which the conclusion is, that like every other tax, it would be better if we could do without it. But I specially note this fact, that it is not a tax of palpable injustice and wrong as the Corn Laws were, though there is a strong dispo sition in the landlords in the House of Commons to represent it as such. It is not a tax to enrich one class at the expense of another class, but only a tax to be raised by common suffering. There can be no doubt of its pressing also on the operative classes ; and when they come to know their interests and have them represented, they will insist on the effects of this and other similar taxes being balanced by laying the residue of the taxation mainly upon property. And in this, it is not unrea sonable to suppose the time will come, when the classes which have property will aid them. For no thing is more certain than that every man of property with his wits about him, should hail the imposition of twenty shillings by a justly apportioned Income-tax, as being the saving of forty shillings which used to be taken from him by the effects of what is called indirect to x ition. All indirect taxation, not only take. from soine b-xly what he has gathered into his basket, but checks somebody's power of gathering also. It is like taking toll out of g leaners' bundles, and tying up one of their hands besides. Slowly and wearily the knowledge of this will be come to; but everything must bide its une. The motion was finally negatived by 247 again! 23. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. Loudon, July 8, 1850. IRISH FRANCHISE BILL. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 5.

About four weeks ago his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge became indisposed, and up to the present time has continued ill at his town residence in Piccadilly. His Royal Highness was, in consequence, prevented from being at the christen ing of the infant Prince Arthur at Buckingham Palace on the 22d of last month, but the D uchess of Cam bridge, with the Princess Mary and Prince George, were present on the interesting occasion. Oa the following day (the 23d ult.) orders were given to postpone a large assembly intended to have been given by the Duchess of Cambridge on Monday, the 24'11 ult., and also a dinner party on the succeeding day. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has also since that day declined accepting invitations to the files and parties given by the leading nobility. His Royal Highness has con tinued from the commencement of his indisposition to suffer from debility and loss of appetite, which the skill and attention of his mtdical advisers have hitherto I failed to restore. The physicians, together with Mr. Ideate and Mr. Idingworth, have been in constant daily attendance on the royal patient, and during the past week the daily accounts were favourable on two or three different days ; still, however, no decisive rally has 3et taken place, and the state of his Royal Highness is becoming a suljr:ct of anxiety bpi solici tude to all those to whom the estimable qualities of the Royal Duke are familiar. On Saturday his Royal Highness continued much in the same state, the weakness still continuing. What slight altera tion there was in his condition was, we are happy to state, favourable ; and the answer given to inquiries was, that his Royal Highness was rather better. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, with the Princess Mary, are at Cambridge House ; and Prince George of Cambridge remains in town, at his resi dence in St. James's Palace. The following bulletin of the Duke of Cambridge a health was issued yesterday : " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who has beau labouring for some time under serious indis position, continues in a state of groat debility.

Sits,—Allow me, through your widely-read columns, to remind the public, and their representatives in Par liament, of the intenbely impprtant question which Mr. Locke's motion will bring on in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, the 9th (to-morrow). It is the question whether L..rd Ashley and his Pharisee minority shall Ferpetuase their scheme to multiply a hundred-fold human toil ap d letter writing on a Sunday; or whether the vast majority of the nation shall be restored to those illegally suspended rights of postal intercourse and ac commi•dation, which have never hitherto been denied to them.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully , NO PHARISEE. IMPROVEMENT IN MARINE PROPULSION.—A- few days aga we had the opportunity of inspecting, at Messrs. Johnson, Cammell, and Co.'s Cyclops Steel Works, a remark able improvement effected in the machinery for propelling steam-vessels. It is the invention of Mr. Mackintosh, and is manufactured at the Cyclops Steel Works. The propellers hitherto in use have been invariably made from cast metal, and when at rest or in motion are a perfect screw, always at the same pitch. The improved flexible propeller (Mackin tosh's), to which we refer, is made of steel well hammered and tempered, and set at an angle en the revolving shaft. When at rest it is a perfect plane, but when in action it forms a screw, and, by the flexibility of the steel, assumes a finer or a coarser pitch according to the strength of the adverse action of that water through which it moves. This circum stance imparts to the vessel and machinery an easy action, especially in rough and heavy seas, which has never been attained by the rigid screws now in use. Propellers mantle factored according to this patent are not more than half the weight of those made of cast metal, though the forgings are the largest yet attempted to be made from steel. It has been ascertained by experiment that in point of speed there is a gain of at least 20 per cent. In heavy seas or rough weather this propeller can be easily hoisted on board by means of a simple block and tackle, thus saving the expense of the machinery now used for raising the cast metal ones; and, from being malleable and tough, does away with the risk of breakaoe which necessarily ensues in the moving of a cumbersome piece of caet metal. In cost there is a saving of about 50 per cent. This is considered to be one of the greatest improvements yet made in marine propulsion. Four of these propellers have alrea d y been made a n d brought into use, and as a proof of the hi g h estimation in which they are hell, it may be stated that (the Lords of the Admiralty have ordered) h-r Majesty's steam-vessel Bee, the swiftest screw•vessel afloat, is to be fitted out with one of these pro pellers in preference , r igid screw . have made crew.WeunadrerraZdmthenatst Diess re.
