The Devon lighter, with Mr. Mills and a party of riggers and seamen, will probably sail to-day for Pembroke, to navigate the Liberty brig to this port, where she is to be fitted for commission. The crew of her Majesty's ship Albion got up her lower yards and topmasts yesterday. The infantry of the Dockyard Battalion, under the command of Colonel W. Edye, marched from the parade ground on Siturday afternoon to Granby :van', where they were exercised. The Amphitrite, Captain Mac Dougall, arrived at Valparaiso on the 19th April, with a large freight of specie on board, and was ordered to proceed to Eng land early in the ensuing month. Lieutenant Walker, who took command of the ship on the decease of Captain Eden, and had charge of the treasure for a period exceeding two months, will, we are happy to say, receive a very handsome sum, as his "pro rata itineris" proportion, which, with the promotion he has so justly earned, and which we trust the Admi ralty will not withhold from him, will in some degree compensate him for the anxiety he must have under gone. We hear the highest accounts of the efficient state of the Amphitrite. By late accounts from Monte Video we are sorry to hear that the yellow fever was raging with great severity, and some of the morning papers yesterday announced the death of Commander Schomberg, of her Majesty's ship Cormorant ; we have, however, the pleasure to state that no official report of this commu nication has been received at the Admiralty, and we, therefore, have, every reason to believe that it is no thing but a rumour.—Herald.

The Gilmore left Colombo January the 19th, and St. Helena the 13th of March. There were no ships of war at St; Helena. Eleven slavers which had been captured were breaking up, and 1,500 liberated Africans were on the island when she left. Wind westerly. Woor.wicu, JUNE 12.—The Right Hon:. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart., held a levee yesterday at Whitehall, and it was attended by the following officers : Rear-Admiral John Peter Douglas. Captains—Sir George A. Westphal, Knt. (1819), Thomas Martin (1826), Edward R. Williams (1827), William Ramsay (1838), Hon. Henry A. Murray (1841), and Gordon G Macdonald (1846). Commanders Adam Cuppage (1830), John Wheatley (1832), R. B.

Chambers (1849). Surgeon—John Robertson, M.D. _ The Sampson steam-frigate arrived at Devonport from Woolwich, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, at seven o'clock, A.M., on Sunday last, having made an excellent passage round, averaging on the entire dis tance between the two ports a speed of very nearly ten knots per hour, against a head sea and strong wind. The draught of water of the Sampson during her voyage to Devonport was 14 feet 5 inches forward and 14 feet 6 inches aft, and her engines worked remarkably well, being supplied with steam from three boilers on a plan of Mr. Humphrys, Chief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, which pro duced an ample supply of steam without the least symptom of priming. The plan also possesses the great advantage of allowing the boilers to be placed low in the vessel. Lieutenant Robertson, and the riggers who navigated her, embarked in the evening of the day on which they arrived in the Confiance steam . vessel on their return to Woolwich, where they ar rived yesterday evening, having touched at Ports mouth to take in a supply , of coals. The Retribution steam-frigate will be out of the hands of the engineers fitting her engines to-morrow, and is expected to be tried down the river on Satur day, or in the early part of next week. • APPOINTMENTS.

CHRONICLE.—The reader will find, under the heading " Court. of Bankruptcy," a compendious summary of one of thl4anerratives of reckless adventure and merited - ter which, from time to time. the judicial annale 'of insolvency offer to the student of human nature. The main outlines of this almost fabulous-lookin g tale of a squendered fortune will be found in the private examination f Edward Thomas Delidield,ll considerable portion of which was yesterday read by Mr. Commissioner Fane, in pronouncing judgment on the bankrupt's c!aiiii to a certificate. It is needless to remind the reader that Mr. Delafield had a start in life such as fortune vouchsafes only to her most favoured children. In the month of January, 1845, when this young gentle man completed his 21st year, he found himself absolute master of upwards of 100,0001., together with a share in the profits of a long-established and lucrative brewing business. Of this noble fortune, with all the fine opportunities and prospects apper taining to it, nothing now remains except assets to the extent of 1,0961., towards a dividend on debts amounting to between 30,0001. and 40,0001. That is to say, in the space of little more than four years, Mr. Delafield has spent, lent, given, lost, or other wise run through his original capital of 100,0004 plus the interest and profits thereon accruing during the continuance of his partnership in the brewery (being a further sum of upwards of 14,0001.), plus the amount of his unpaid debts—the whole amounting, in round numbers, to upwards of 140,0001. The first question that one naturally asks, on hearing of so magnificent a ruin, is, where is the money all gone ? What picture galleries, museums, or parks has this unfortunate gentle man presented to the nation ? What ,hospitals, colleges, or churches has he built and endowed ? For what princes, peers, ambassadors, sarans and literati has he kept open house ? Or what " provi sionally registered" Grand Direct Junction railways have numbered him among their directors ? No! it is none of these things. Mr. Delafield was neither a Maecenas, nor a virtuoso, nor a " founder," nor an entertainer of princes, nor a railway speculator. Nor was he a "gambler," in the conventional sense of the word. His case comes within none of the well known categories with which the statistics of insol vency have made us familiar. His habits were more than sufficiently expensive, even for the possessor of 100,0001.—but that was not it. lie was, at times, preposterously a n d cu l pa bl y good-natured to his friends—as when he made an actual present of no less a sum than 5,0001. to one Mr. Arthur Webster— but it was not his generosity that ruined him. After deducting all items that come under the head of per sonal extravagance (including the Willow Bank affair), there remains a vast residuum of loss yet un explained. To cut a long story short, the simple fact is, that Mi. Delafield took it into his head—or had it put into his head—to become the lessee of an Opera House, with no other qualification for the business than the command of money and a passion for music ; and he * thereby succeeded in getting rid of 81,3001. within somewhat less than two years. To this may be added some minor operatic and theatrical losses, to the extent of about 8,0001. more. Perhaps the must extraordinary part of the whole story of Mr. Dela field's connexion with the Royal Italian Opera is the beginning of it.. The following is his own account of the affair, as given in his private examination : "I know Thomas Frederick Beale, of 201, Regent street. I first became acquainted with him in the spring of 1847; he was then engaged as acting ma nager of the Royal Italian Opera House, Covent garden, for Signor Persiani, who was at that time the lessee. Some time in the month of July, 1847, Beale came to me when I was in my box at the theatre, and told me Persiani had left, and that money was required to pay the artistes, or else the theatre must close ; and said, if I would lend him my pro missory note for 3,0001., the Union Bank or his father would discount it; he promising, with Mr. Chappell, his solicitor, who was then present, to pro vide for it at maturity. I consented to this, and gave my promissory not the following day. . . No part of this 3,000/. was ever repaid to me, either by Mr. Beale or his attorney. When I gave this bill, I had no connexion with the theatre beyond having my box there. I had no motive iu giving this bill, except to assist the concern." This almost passes belief. An extempore loan of 3,0001. to a men with whom his acquaintance was but of a few weeks' standing, for' the mere purpose of bolstering up an insolvent concern, whose respon slide head " had Leff I" A'ter such a commencement nothing is incredible. We learn, almost without surprise, that before that summer was over the in it,tuated youth was induced to join his new acquaint ance a, a partner—vainly attempting to limit his liabi lities, by a special agreement, to the sum of 15,0001. ; and by this insane proceeding, and other arrange ments made in pursuance of it, he rendered himself legally answerable for the whole of the existing en gageinents and liabilities of the concern, amounting to about 20,0001. There is no occasion to go into the details of what followed. In the ensuing month of December, Mr. Delafield formally assumed those plenary and personal responsibilities which he had previously incurred unwittingly. Ile dissolved his partnership with Beale, and took upon himself all the debts and engagements of the theatre past and future. The result may be briefly told in his own words. Ile says, in his examination—" I was, in fact, en tirely ruined at the end of the season of 1848 ; my balance at my bankers was quite exhausted, and I began the season of 1849 by a loan of 2,0001. from my bankers." For this " entirely ruined" man did not feel it to be his duty to decline incurring further liabilities which he was totally without the means of discharging, or to deny himself costly personal indul gences, which from that period could only b e en joyed at the expense of his creditors. Ruined though he was, at the end of the season of 1848, he went on through the season of 1849, and increased his deficit by 25,0001. more. In the course of the spring of that year, after having assigned over the remnant of his available property to Beale, to cover advances made by the latter for the purpose of carrying on the theatre, he retired to Brussels to avoid arrest, and on the 12:11 of July he became a bankrupt. Such is a summary of that series of transactions respecting which Mr. Commissioner Pane thinks, "on the whole, and upon full consideration of all the circumstances," that "he s h a ll b es t di sc harge his public duty by granting the bankrupt a common certificate, without attaching any con dition." It is not our wish to say anything which may needlessly wound the feelings of a gentleman on whom the natural penalties of his faults and follies has fallen so heavily, and we abstain therefore from fully commenting on those features of the case which might have seemed to justify, if not to compel, a somewhat severer judgment. But whether the Com missioner's decision be right or wrong in substance, the greater part of the reasons on which he professes to ground it are, in our opinion, alike fallacious and mischievous ; and they excite our utter amazement as coming from the lips of an authorized and judicial exponent of the principles of commercial morality. Mr. Commissioner Pane, it will be observed, bases his lenient view of the bankrupt's case (inter alia) on his " extreme youth," on " the circumstance that he could hardly be deemed a trader," and on " the deceptions of which he had been mad , e the victim." Of the nature of these " deceptions,' and how far any,, deception was practised on Mr. Delafield against which the merest common sense ought not to have been a more than sufficient preservative, every reader has ample means of deciding for himself. The two other pleas which we have quoted from the Com missioner's judgment are really monstrous. The law of the land declares Mr. Delafield to be of full age— absolute master of his property, and absolutely re sponsible for his actions ; it also declares that he is to be "deemed a trader," to all intents and purposes, as much as any merchant, banker, or shopkeeper in Great Britain ; and when Mr. Commissioner Pane takes it upon him, in administering the law of which he is a sworn servant, to pronounce the bankrupt al most a minor, and " hardly a trader," he takes a liberty which is alike unwarrantable and indecorous. More flagrant still, if possible, is the inventive in genuity which this judicial advocate displays when he urges, in the bankrupt's favour, that " he might have thought that, in inducing Beale to furnish funds to go on with, he was doing the best he could for the creditors"—a suggestion which (if the principle were carried out) would give license and impunity to every imaginable description of mercantile reckless nesse and gambling. Perhaps Mr. Commissioner Pane will take an early opportunity of . informing ot the commercial public, first, at what precise period a man's life, after the 21st birthday, he considers the t irresponsibilities of nonage or " extrecT,ee classesyh to f be at an end—secondly, " traders within the statute:warheattopbree henceforth d thirdly, what re garded as " hardly traders pre cise descriptions of commercial irregularity are to be deemed henceforth justifiable the ground that a so-and-so. As the bankrupt "might have thought" matter stands, we can only say of this extraordinary judgment, that it is fatally calculatedlatows and con morals. confound the f un d amen tal principles of mercantile TIMES . —The decision given by Mr. Commis sioner Pane, in the case of Thomas E.

He had found everything as it ought to be. Colonel Menzies entertained Lord Fitz clarence, the Deputy-Adjutant - General, and a' bril liant party of the officers of the corps, at his official mansion in Portsmouth in the evening.

It cannot be urged in ealli tioss that Mr. Delafield was the victim of any of those unto• ward vicissitudes either of legislation or of the seasons which will sometimes confound the best matured plans, and involve not merely the speculator, but the merchant, in irretrievable embarrassment. The nature of theatrical property is well known. It is proverbially dangerous, as is every species of pro perty which depends for its value upon the arbi trary fluctuations in public taste. Men are found, however, who do " make a living," as the phrase runs, and a handsome one too, out of enterprises o f t hi s description. Nor can it be said that the persons with whose assistance Mr. Delafield and his advisers attempted to carry out their views appeared ill-fitt e d for the object proposed. The singers engaged at his theatre were the seine persons who for many years had attracted the attention of the town, and who almost possessed a monopol y of the performance of the Italian lyrical drama. Certaitly there was no reason for euppesing- that the aelnoy• ance of an additional ten minutes' drive would keep away an audience which had been long hubituated to hang upon the strains of Grisi and Mario. Mr. Costa in Covent•garden was the same efficient direc tor of an orchestra as Mr. Cast i; at the Haymarket. The " artists" employed by Mr. Delafield were old and well-tried favourites with the public, so that the speculation was devoid of hazard in one important re spect. Whence, then, the appalling crash which has ruined Mr. Delafield, erased his name from the list of the money magnates of his time, and left him in the condition of a dependent for life on the bounty of those with whom he should have lived upon more equal terms ? The answer is quickly given, and must serve as a key to the judgment pronounced by Mr. Commissioner Pane in awarding the certificate of the bankrupt without any conditions of unusual severity. Towards the conclusion of his judgment the Learned Commissioner is reported to have said—" I look upon the general body of creditors in this case as co-spe culators with the bankrupt, and as the speculation has been a total failure, and he the greatest sufferer, all ought to bear their share of the misfortune without repining." Is not this so ? From first to last this foolish man—he has not yet, we believe, completed his twenty-fifth year—was a mere catspaw in the hands of men of sharper wit, and of a body of dissatisfied singers. We.-will not go so far as to say that Mr. Delafield'a ruin was contemplated by those who attracted him into the concern, but, at least, he was the capitalist who was to furnish them with the means of realising the dreams of their fevered imaginations and to bear the brunt in case of reverse. The speculation which commenced in July, 1847, by Mr. Delatield's consent to hand Mr. Beale his promissory note for 3,0001., has terminated in Jules., 1850, by the allowance of his certificate as bankrupt to this misguided young man. He was but twenty three years of age when he took the first fatal step— at the end of 1848 he was a ruined man. "Now, let us see what was the sum actually lost, and therefore what the implied adjunct to the bankrupt's certificate. On coming of age, in the year 1845, Mr. Delafield was entitled to a fortune bequeathed him by an uncle, which, with its accumulations, amounted to upwards of 100,0001., and, furthermore, to a reversionary in terest in 6,000/. under his father's will. On coming of age he was admitted a partner in the brewery, and if we understand aright the statement with which we have been furnished, by investing his capital in the concern he received interest upon it at the rate of 5 per cent , together with his share of the profits, 2,500/ per an num. In the commencement, then, of 1846, Mr. Delafield was in possession of a fortune, well secured, of 7,5001. a year ; by the end of 1848 he was a beggar. The last year and a half has been spent in a succession of painful embarrassments and legal pro ceedings—in a flight to the continent—in a re-ap pearance at the Bankruptcy Court, from which he was dismissed on 'Tuesday with nothing in his pocket but a certificate, to make trial of that hardest of all fates—dependence upon others. We have already so amply—we may add, so frequently, discussed the circumstances and figures of this bankruptcy, that it is not our intention to try our readers' patience any more with details. It is but right, however, that so enormous an instance of a young man's folly and of the vicissitudes of fortune should receive some brief notice at our hands, now that the lawyers have done with it. The example of Mr. Delafield may serve to deter others from engaging, at so early in age, and in so reckless a manner, in speculations which demand a long experience of business and a sharp penetration into motives and character. The downfal is so great that it must appear miracu lous to any but one of that infinitely small section of the community which lives without a care upon the accumulations of its progenitors, how a man can throw from him in mere wantonness those means, which, if they cannot secure happiness, may at least deliver their possessor from many a bitter trial and heart-Bch. Yet this is just what this foolish and unfortunate young man has done. Enj iyinent, even in its lowest sense, he can have received none in exchange for - this enormous sacrifice. To preside nominally over the engagements and jealousies and squabbles of 's parcel of singers and dancers for a couple of seasons is at least so poor a compensation that we refu.e to take it at all into account. And now he is left to test the value of the obsequiousness of a few transitory parasites and dependents, and to discover how much of the regard paid to him was given to himself, how much to his fortune, and to his sup posed means of advancing the fortunes of those around him. Either the world is changed, or the few men who would have stood staunchly to him in his hour of trouble are the very persons he missed at his table in the heyday of his festivities, when the opium dreams of continuous fortune and splendour were at their highest. If Mr. Delafield be doomed to inevi table disappointment in one sense, let us hope that he may meet with assistance and a helping hand from others on whose regard he may just now sup pose himself to have but slender claims. There is one ;point in the judgment of the Commis sioner, however, which we would notice be fore dismissing this subject for ever from our columns. It appears that expectations had been entertained that some conditions for future payment would be affixed to the bankrupt's certificate because be was known to possess rich relations, who, as it was supposed, would not be likely to leave a member of the rich family of Delafield under the sharp pressure of money difficulties. The suggestion operated with the Commissioner in a way contrary to the one in tended. There was so much good sense in his re .- marks, .c - arks, and theat wpointewill he isorne reproduce so much importance, roduce m ab h rie p f usebnh th sen tence or two from our report of yesterday:—"lt may he said that the bankrupt has rich relations. Perhaps he has; but if it were true, this argument is one which will never weigh with me. 1 will never be a o oc n tr t in o e p a a s y that e debts of extravagant connexions. A contrary doc rpiacrhtyretloattihonese3atbliushnidDegr° of any y o s b u l i e g h a t d i doc trine is a far more wholesome one." The case is one of such common occurrence that too much stress cannot be laid upon the point so forcibly insisted upon by the Commissioner. A more cruel injustice cannot be conceived than to place the prudent and well-conducted members of a family under the neces sity of paving the debts of a foolish young spendthrift, who never would have obtained the credit but for the reliance placed upon their fair fame and delicacy of feeling. This point is of rarer occurrence before the Bankruptcy than the Insolvency Commissioners, but there we meet with it as an every-day matter. It is, of course, more difficult to deal with it in the latter than in the former case ; but, yet, something may be done by facilitating the passage of foolish young spendthrifts through the court who have fallen the victims of a practice as common as it is ne farious. Be this, however, as it may, it appears from the judgment of the Commissioner that not the slightest p ersona l complaint was made against the bankrupt ; th at t h e expenses of his private liv i ng did not exceed th e li mits of the income to w hi c h h e m i g ht suppose hi mse lf f a i rly entitled ; t h at there was technical o b s t ruct i on to the gran ti ng of the certifi cate ; and finally, that none of the Under these cir cumstances itorsinsisted upon the a ddi t i on o f conditiobne disposed to quarrel s. curnstances few persons t I a fortune the com mon papers of a certifies . y with the decision whizh grant s e to a youth who has forfeited by his folly so princely ted bankrupt. the English Mint p o r m ie 4 e p o e : MONEY MARICET.—The premium on gold at Paris la 3/ 17s. 10fd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an en is 16i per change of 25.56; and the exchange at Paris on London mille, which, at cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent, in favour of Eng land, and after making allo4ance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. CONSECRITIO N OF A CUURCII IN SOUTHWARK,..• On Monday morning the Bishop of Winchester consecrated a church in Southwark under somewhat peculiar circum stances. The building, which is one of ancient date, stands in St. George's-iields, and h as been known as a chapel in connexion with the Philanthropic Society. The removal of the society's premises to Iledhill, near Reigate, rendered the chapel useless for the purposes to which it had hitherto been devoted, and arrangements were consequently made with the Rector of St. teorge's that an ecclesiastical district should be assigned to the chapel, and that henceforth it should become one of the parochial churches. In order to carry out this object the ceremony of consecration was ren dered necessary, and Monday was appointed by the Bishop . for that purpose. The Bishop has licensed the Rev. G. E. Tate, M A., late curate of Great Warley, Essex, to be t he first incumbent of the new church. , Vs SECOND-HAND RICK CLOTHS for SALE, with Poles, Follies, and Lines complete.
