TB R MAN-OF-WAR NEWSPAPER.—Tbis paper (mentioned in The Sun of .3 esterday), which is called the Arrogant Journal, contains only eight pages, two columns to a page; its -heading is emblematical of the motive power of the ship, the strew propeller, and its• motto that frequent order in steamers, " Go on a head." .It is conducted by the officers of the ship exclusively, and the typographical department is got up on the ward-room table, without the aid of cases, frames, and furniture incidental to all other but ama teur printing. The difficulties of getting up such a work under such untoward circumstances may be imagined, and the address to the number before us attempts to describethem : • - (" THE ARROGANT JOURNAL ) " Reader—Ambitious as we were to publish our journal periodically, we found on completing the first number, that it was too laborious a task, and, therefore, at once gave up the idea of making, a tail of ,a pleasure. With only sufficient type to complete one page 'eparately, the difficulty of throwing off eight consecutively may be imagined, and we trust that it will be received as an apology for our long silence. Besides, we have had our usual troubles to contend against, such as finding the type on more than one occasion on the lee scuppers, which we must confess was rather disheartening, but perseverance has overcome every obstacle, and with the timely assistance of a most excellent devil, we have sac_ ceded hi bringing forth a second number of the Arrogant Journal, having selected a new device emblematical of our motive power, and a motto congenial to our views. From the,flattering reception our first number met with,. we feel confident that the press, should it again deign to notice, will not crush the tiny efforts of one of its little ones; and we earnestly hope that in no other quarter will any one be found so illiberal as to question the pro priety of our novel undertaking. " Let active laws apply the need'ul curb To gu ird the peace that riot would disturb; And liberty, preserved from wild excess, Shall raise no feuds for armies to suppress." PLYMOUTH, JAN. 3.—The Britornart, 10, Com mander Chamberlain, was paid off yesterday. None of her fittings are to be removed. The Arethusa, 50, has been taken out of No. 5 dock, and taken to the shear bulk and had her masts and bowsprit put in. She will be ready for commission next week. The Netley, late tender to the Impregnable, has been taken into No. 2 dock. She is to be fitted out and taken to Bermuda by the first man-of-war bound to the West Indies. The Gladiator steam-vessel may be expected to be put into commission at this port, to take the next African mails. CHATHAM, JAN. 4.—The Vulcan steam-frigate, of 700 -horse power, recently built at Black wall, was towed up the Medway from Sheerness by the African and Adder steam-vessels on Thursday afternoon, the 3d instant. The Vulcan was then taken into dock to have her bottom payed with Mr. Peacock's preparation. At this yard there is a man-of-war launch prepar ing for the exercise of the boys at Greenwich School. She is to be fitted with a small figure head—that of the present young Prince of Wales. . The new mode of individual payment of the work men of the yard is ordered to come into operation on Friday, the 11th instant. G. GREY. WILTSHIRE PROTECTION MEETING. FRIDAY .NlGHT.—Tiiis day having be appointed for the tenant runners and others.c..n nected with agriculture in the county of Wilts, to meet and discuss their present c , inditiou, at balrpast twelve o'clock, the Council hall (a room capable of accommodating 2,000 persons) wits f i ll e d to ove but it soon became Evident thcit all the audience were not present for the purpose of assisting in restc,iring protection to British industry, for as soon as. the leading persons who were to take part in the day's proceedings came on the platform, the Free traders demanded " three cheers for Sir Robert Peel." Amidst considerable confusion and riot, Lord Nelson was called tote chair. ID The Noble CHAIRMAN said he would open the pro ceedings by reading a letter from Mr. John Bunett, one of the Members of the southern division of the county, Upon which there was a very general call upon the chairman to read Sir Robert Peel's letter, and an in timation that if the farmers would go home and study it, they would derive more knowledge than they were likely to glean from the speakers who were to address them.

NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of Eider Down in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved. Elders are found in great numbers in Iceland and the Fere Islands, where their beautifttl and delicate down is well known to be proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantit3 which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wil: serve in the formation of a Paletit, which, while it has most extra- ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines , and thickest blanket, tho great desideratum for a winter garment being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.

Diffidence, or s ,?nse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -;tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea ,f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un oeeprosiug hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, ,n,4 broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness .111 sozitl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage sat lerkent. Honour and justicedemand that health should form an item e the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er -eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

WOOLVfICH, JAN. 4..—Captain John Adams (1843) to the Gladiator, advanced war-steamer at Devonport. This steam frigate was built at Woolwich in 1844, from a design by Captain Sir William Symonds, late kurveypr of the navy. She is 1,190 tons burden,with engines of 430-horse power. Lieutenant Samuel Fowe11 . (1842) to the Gladiator. Lieutenant William Lambard (1848) to ditto. Lieutenant Charles Edward Sidebottom (1849) to ditto. Captain John Adams (1843), appointed to command the Gladiator, commissioned this day at Devonport, was midshipman of the Scout in several actions of that vessel with enemy's gunboats in the Straits of Gibraltar, and on one occasion with two French gun brigs and six gunboats. This gallant officer also served in the same brig covering the advance of the boats in Rosas Bay, in 1809. He was midshipman of the Volontaire, the Cambrian, and the Bulwark, in several boat actions, and at the siege of Tarragona. Lieutenant Samuel Powell (1842), appointed first lieutenant of the Gladiator, has seen considerable ser vice, and is in receipt o f a pens i on f or wounds. The Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C 8., and the Investigator, Commander M'Clure, are still taking on board stores from Deptford, and the vessels are an object of great interest to many persons. The Niger steam-sloop is getting ready with the greatest dispatch; the riggers have been at work from the earliest to the latest hours of daylight, and the operative engineers are working by relays, and expect to be at work during the whole of the night, to have her ready for trial on Monday, the 7th, if pos sible. The Hermes steam;sloop was inspected to-day by Captain Superintendent H. T. Austin, C.H., and the Master Shipwright, with his assistants. She has been ready for some time in the engineer department, and will be commissioned in a few days. Twenty-six more of the :operatives in the factory department have received notices that their services will not be required at this dockyard after to-morrow (Saturday).

Dated the 3d day of January, 1 THE BATH ATHEDLEUM.—The 25th anniversary of the Bath Athenaeum was celebrated by a soirée on the 3d inst in the banqueting-room of the Guildhall, and the noble saloon was completely filled with company long before the hour named for the chair being taken, as it was well known that Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P. for Shela field, and late Member for Bath, would attend. Some resolutions were proposed, having reference to the sub ject of national education, and especially to that portion of it which related to intellectual culture. The first re solution having been moved and seconded, Mr. Roebuck addressed the company at considerable length. lie said there were two parties on the education question: those who held that the Government ought to educate the people, and those who were advocates for the voluntary system; and he having commenced by undertaking to explain, but yet not discuss, the arguments on both sides, confined his address in a great degree to that purpose; towards its close he entered on a detailed contrast of the past and present state of the working classes, pointing out how much their morals had been raised by institu tions like the present, and he afterwards demolished the argument that mechanics are the only producers of wealth, and concluded his address by observing that, " the good man was he who did his duty, and doing it was not afraid." A vote of thanks was awarded to Mr. Roebuck by acclamation, after which the meeting was addressed by Mr. Hancock, Mr. Archard, Mr. T. W. Saunders, and Dr. Stevens. Viuraa.—Dr. Fischof is acquittal, which has given great satisfactio n to the generality of the population of this city has been celebrated by a grand entertainment given to the learned doctor.

PORTSMOUTII, PRIDAY.—The Devastation steam sloop is to be considered as a steam-vessel of the first division in the advanced squadron at this port. We are sorry to state that Rear-Admiral Prescott, superintendent of this dockyard, is not quite so well as he was early in the week, having had a slight return of rheu tnatism. The Termagant steam-frigate is being fitted with a new screw-p rope ll er i n d oc k. The Sidon steam-frigate is taking in b a ll as t a l ong . side th e j etty, and will be tried next we e k. The T err ibl e„ 2 1, s t eam -f r i gate, Captain James Hope, C. 8., in 'going into Hamoaze on Wednesday, touched the gr eund at Wilderness Point, between Devil's Point rtnd Mount Edgcumbe. It was dead low water at thse time, but after remaining almost stationary for a hew minutes, she, by the aid of her engines, floated. off. The pilot in charge, who is considered a very careful man, accounts for the acci dent by stating that the Terrible did not answer her helm according to expectation. The Terrible, having a diver on botkr d, a dress was sent off, when on pro ceeding under :her bottom, he found the false keel so injured that it was determined to dock her before sending her out on foreign service, and as this great and important westernmost post does not possess a dock capable of taking the Terrible in, the ship left yesterday for t his port, to be docked' and repaired with the utrnos t dispatch, in order th a t s h e may return to Devonport, be aid advance, an d proceed to join C ommo d ore :Martin 's squadron at Lisbon. She will be put on the Sidon dock, no other being large enough to take tsar in with the gates shut. The Penelope steam-fr igate has been put out of dock this afternoon to make ~00m for her. A poor fellow, o f the name o f John L angr id ge, a sawyer, whilst atten. ling . the circular saw yesterday, got his hand so seriou 5 1 9 injured as to be obliged to have it removed imme Ichately.

And our further will and pleasure is that you, or any three or more of you, when and so often as need The CHAIRMAN having promised to advert to Sir Robert Peel's letter in the course of the meeting, he was allowed to read Mr. Benett's, which was merely an apology for nct attending on account of ill health. The CHAIRMAN —They must now Comet to the business of the meeting, and he would place it before them as shortly as be possibly could.—(sesar, hear, and " Cut it short.") It was the fashion of their opponents to accuse them (the Protectionists) of being influenced by selfish motives, and to extol the Free traders for their philanthropy. If he (the Chairman) thought it would be only doing himself good by at tending that meeting, he could assure them he would not have been present. lVhat sacrifices had they made that they . talked so much of philanthropy ? They began with the cry of free trade and cheap bread for the poor, which every person knew was a fallacy.- -[llere a fight took place between some of the partizans of the rival factions in the body of the hall, the confusion from which rendered the speaker quite inaudible.] When he was again heard at the re porter's table he was understood to say—The Duke of Bedford had recently said that free trade would have the effect of crushing all landholders, except those of very large capital. It would have the effect of exter minating the present race of tenant-farmers and putting in their place the Manchester manufacturers—(That won't do; it's a lie)—who were said to be able to get quadruple crops off the land.—(Cries of " Reduce our rents," " Why don't you read Sir Robert Peel's letter.") Free-traders (continued the Chairman) admitted that there was distress, and they proposed as a remedy that the rents shou!d be lowered. —(Hear, hear, and cries of " That's what you must do.") Ile knew fur himself that he had laid out as much as he received from his land, and if he reduced the rent be must stop from the farm the amount which he had been in the habit of laying out in improve ments.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman, who, from the frequent interruptions, had evidently began to lose his temper, said he begged to remind those per sons who were interrupting, that the meeting was called by farmers for the purpose of discussing the principle of protection; those who held different views from the conveners of the meeting were at liberty to stay, but they must remain silent or they would certainly be ejected. This remark, instead of having the desired effect of quieting the meeting, gave rise to a fearful disturbance; the farmers commenced the battle with the Free-traders, and in different parts of the building about twenty fights took place simulta neous l y. . Order having been somewhat restored, Mr. R. P. LONG rose for the purpose of movin g the first reso lution ; he was received with derisive cheers and laughter for several minutes, and anxious inquiries as to whether his " Mother knew ho was out.' The farmers, finding that they were getting beaten by the Free•traders, commenced to forcibly eject their obnoxious neighbours, which, amidst loud cries of " police, and murder ! " they succeeded in doing. Order, however, was only restored until such time as the vai.quished go t i n t o the street, far the moment they r got on the outside of the building they struck up a sharp lire of stones and other missiles against the windows of the council chamber, which were shat tered in all directions. A strong body of police hav ing been procured, the ringleader s were conveyed to the station house. After some time, Mr. LONG said he would give them the beads of the address to the Queen, which was the resolution he was about to propose. It was that the meeting views with the greatest alarm the agricultural distress which pervades Great Britain and Ireland, and that nothing can enable the farmer to compete with the untaxed foreigner. [The latter part of the resolution was quite inaudible, owing to a fresh battery at the window from without, which sent the glass flying in all directions over the room.] Mr. Long, after some further observations, resumed his seat, amidst a crash of broken windows, cheers, and groans. Mr. S. MILLS seconded the resolution. At this stage of the proceedings another fight took place, and another batch of Free traders were ex pelled ; after which The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, but only a few hands were held up in favour of it, and the Chairman declared it was carried. The Right Hon. the Earl of MALMESBURT moved the second resolution. He said, it was a proud satisfaction for him to have been invited to attend so great and important a meeting.—(Hear, hear.) There was no sacrifice, if he had been called upon to make a sacrifice, which he would not have made to have answered that invitation. Ile was requested to move a resolution approving of the National Society for the Protection of British Industry, and that they should juin that society. Ile thought there could not be a more practicable measure, as by so doing they would concentrate the forces all under one head.—(Cries of "No brains.") Among the many causes which led to their defeat was that they had an leader, that they were much too scattered and not suf ficiently combined; but by taking a leaf out of their enemies' book, they would perhaps be able to frustrate their designs. Much had been said with respect to protection being kept up for the benefit of the aristo cracy. Now he could speak for himself, that in the parish ' where he resided there were SOS landowners beside himself. Now, if protection were put on for the benefit of the aristocracy, it was only 1 in 308. lie admitted that land must come down, but ha thought it would fall heavy on the poor, as all classes would have to share alike; and if the landlord re duced from 3001. to 2001. the labourer would be reduced from 9s. to 6s. per week. Mr. C.W. EYYRETT seconded the motion.—Carried, The next resolution, advising her Majesty to dis miss her present Parliament, was moved by Mr. KING and seconded by Mr. Wieraams, but the confus'ea was so great that it was almost impossible to hear a word that any of the speakers said with any degree of accuracy. Several other speakers followed; but the noise and confusion continued until the end, notwithstanding occasional batches of Free-traders were ejected, but it was quite clear that, although the Cnairman de cided that th e reso l ut i ons were carr i ed, it was very doubtful whether they were so or not. residing Thursday ,near 211,7,it Hastings,nhe h u t, l ult., MELANCHOLY OCCURBENCE.—On excursion n th o e n ac e S a a us m m se a a x n r , she accidentally shot in the was kn e foundyato 1, • arge from his companions' gun, whic h be o f . such a dan gerous character as to render amputation necessary.

A ROYAL MEEzsuAum.—During the past NA eek, several tons of damn, d and contraband tobacco have been burnt by order of the Board of Customs, in one of the flues of the distillery of Messrs. Coates and Co., Southside-strcet. The fumes impregnated the air of all the neighbouring streets. This is the first time such an operation has been performed at Plymouth, although in the London Docks it is common enough—the chimney in which it is burnt being p)pularly known as the Queen's pipe.— Western Times. SHERBORNE.—The Rev. Charles T. Penrose has resigned the head mastership of the grammar school of this town.—Sher Lorne Journal.
