M. d'Adels ward has, in order to clearly point out the extent of the legal attributions of the Legislative Power as far as concerns the right of requisition in extraordinary and urgent cases, presented a proposi tion to the Assembly to the following effect : " The Executive Power is charged to watch over the safety and :defence: of Plea Legislative Power; never theless, in extraordinary circumstances, of which he alone will be the judge, the President of the National mbly by himself, or by one of the Vice-Presidents, or ;the questors delegated by him, may call for all the forces which he may consider necessary for the safety of the Assembly. Officers of all ranks, as well as all functionaries, who ever they may be who may be called on, must obey the order of the President, or of his dele gae, under pain of the penalties set forth in the law. The present law is to be posted up in all the barracks of Paris. The committee charged to examine the Bill on the Colonial Banks decided yesterday that only notes of 500 f., 100 f., and 25f. are to be issued. It has rejected the idea of loans on the standing crops. The committee charged to examine the demand for authorisation to arrest M. Mauguin for debt has ap pointed M. °non Barrot as President, and M. Moulin as secretary. M. Mauguin having demanded to give explanations to the committee, it has fixed to day for that purpose. M. Baze, the questor of the Assembly, has pre sented the following proposition :—" No journal or periodical whatever shall be sold or distributed in the public streets. Any contravention of this law shall be tried by the Correctional Tribunal, and punished with an imprisonment of from one to six months, and a fine of from 25f. to 501., without prejudice to any proceedings which may be instituted for crimes or misdemeanours either against the authors or the - editors of such publications, or against the vendors and distributors themselves."

The Bank notes in circulation have decreased by 4,250,0001. The balance to the credit of the Treasury same as last week. Sundry credits have decreased by 6,250,000 f. GERMAN t. The Cologne Gazette, under date of Schwerin 25th, says,—" The Austrian Government has announced to the Cabinet of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, that it was compelled to place 4,000 cavalry during the winter in cantonmenti in Mecklenburg, and particularly in the districts of Bortzenburg and Wittenburg. Our Ca binet intends to reply by a refus?d, but it is probable that the Austrian Government will not pay any at tention to it." The Austrian Government has addressed a remon - titmice to the Greek Cabinet on the subject of the welcome given to the Italian refugees in Greece, and of the conduct of those individuals. Several of the clubs at which they assembled have been closed in consequence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DECLA.R TIONS OF FORFEIT.

(From the United Service Gazette of this day.) THE ARMY.—Lieutenant the Non. A. Egerton, Grenadier Guards, has been appointed an extra Aide-de-Camp to the Earl of Elgin.—Lieutenant Chamberlayne, of the West India Regiment, is Fort Adjutant at the Bahamas, vice Morphy ; and Lieut. Ross, of the same Corps, is Fort-Adjutant at Hondu ras.—Captain Bowers, 37th Foot, has been appointed Aide-de-Camp to Mr. Higginson, the Governor of Mauritius.—Lieutenant Tongue is Acting Pay master, and Ensign Walker Acting Adjutant, of the Depot of the 30th Foot.—Lieutenant Roper is Acting Paymaster of the Depot of the 17th Foot, and Lieutenant Bamfylde of the 49th. The acting Adjutancy of the depot o f th e 54 t h i s vacant. Lieutenant Shipley is Acting Paymaster of the Depot of the 55th. The Adjutancy is not yet filled up. —Lieutenant Kay, 7th Foot, has replaced Lieu tenant Macdonald, of the 16th Foot, as superintend ing officer of recruiting at Manchester. Lieutenant Hughes, 95th regiment, has superseded Lieutenant Villiers, 47th, as superintending officer at Notting ham. Lieutenant Robinson, 2d Foot, has succeeded Lieutenant Thompson, 28th Foot, at Armagh. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.—We have reason to be lieve that the successor to Sir James M'Grigor is at last decided on, and that Dr. Smith, who has so long acted as Director-General, will be the officer ap pointed, with the rank of Inspector-General, and the pay, to include all allowances, to be 1,2001. per annum. If this arrangement is carried into effect, a saving of 8001. a year will be made. Tlae rank of Director- General is to be abolished. MARRIED SOLDIERS' LODGING MONEY.—It has reached us—and we learn the fact with unmiugled pleasure—that the Secretary at War has determined to propose to Parliament that the allowance to the married soldiers, who prefer living out of barracks, be augmented to twopence per diem. This, with good management, will enable the allotted number to pro cure a certain quality of accommodation; and if the Government would only go a little further, and give them something for the fuel and candles they lose by living out of barracks, the measure of kindness, and the contribution to the interests of decency, will be complete. LIEUTENANT- GENERAL TREVOR.— We are glad in being able to contradict the report of the death of Lieutenant-General the Hon. Henry Otway Trevor, C. 8., Colonel of the 31st Regiment, but we find that he is suffering from severe illness. We regret to announce that Lieutenant. Colonel Lock, commanding the Royal Artillery at Chatham, is dangerously ill, and we fear without any hope of ultimate recovery. His medical advisers, Dr. Martin, of Rochester, and the Ordnance medical officer, are in constant attendance upon him, and the various out lets of the barracks are kept closed during the Colonel's illness. THE DEPOT, ISLE OF WlGHT.—Directions have been issued from the Horse Guards to the proper official authorities, to the effect that the Infantry Depot at the isle of Wight is to be discontinued, as a military establishment, from the Ist of April next inclusive. MEDICAL STAFF.—Sc.cond-Class Surgeon J. W. Mostyn, M.D., and Assistant-Surgeon Fitzgibbon, embarked on the 20th instant at Gravesend, in the brig Dart, for Africa. TUE GREAT EXHIBITION.—In the event of its being deemed advisable to increase the military strength of the London Garrison during the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, temporary barracks are being fiUed up at Kensington Palace and the Govern ment Works at Vauxhall-bridge for the accommo dation of the troops. It is rumoured that Lieutenant-General Henry Evatt, of the Royal Engineers, is dead; he is a very old officer, having entered the service in July, 1788. CLASS ADVANCEMENT.—We have been reminded, and with good reason, that all the advancement in the Coast Guard service is conferred upon comman ders and lieutenants, and mates, and that although many masters hold appointments in that service, they have no chance of preferment. That this is really the case is too true, although we may with confidence say, the fact is never considered by any but those who are the victims of neglect. 'We trust, however, that now attention has been directed to the invidious class distinctions, some hope of advancement in the Coast Guard service will be held out to masters who may distinguish themselves as well as to commanders, lieutenants, and mates. We do not desire for a moment to give the masters a share of the present annual promotions, but some additional reward should be established for their benefit. Mr. Samuel B. Cook, Master-Commander of the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, has been ap pointed by the Master-General of the Ordnance Superintendent of the vessels in their department, in the room of Commander Soady, who has retired. HER 'MAJESTY'S STEAM-YESSEL VOLCANO.—Com mander Rivers has only got so far as Milford Haven on the way to the coast of Africa from Devonport. She is all safe, however, and was to sail as soon as the weather moderated. PROMOTIONS OF MASTERS.—We are gratified to find that a couple of Second Masters have been pro moted to the rank of Master, namely, Mr. Svvaine, of the Pilot, 12, in China, and Mr. White, of the Ran ger, 8, on the coast of Africa. We understand that Mr. Abraham Sugden, pay mayster and purser of 1822, is to be nominated to the Prince Regent when recommissioned. This appoint ment reflects great credit upon whoever has had the distribution co . the patronage. Mr. Sugden can have no interest beyond that likely to be possessed by an officer who has been struggling many years to bring up a large family upon his half-pay, eked out by a small salary as an extra clerk in the Accountant- General's department i❑ Somerset House. Mr. James W. M. Ashby, clerk of the Arrogant, has been appointed acting secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the new commander-in-chief on the North American and West India station; but we believe we are correct when we state that Mr. Jeans, now serving with the Earl of Dundonald in that capacity, will continue to discharge the same duties under the new Admiral ; and Mr. Ashby will act as chief clerk in the office, and thus ba eligible for pro motion to the rank of paymaster and purser whenever a vacancy occurs. Mr. Paymaster Nicholls, newly appointed from the 11T-ship in the Mediterranean to the Excellent, at Portsmouth, has arrived in England and has joined his ship. Mr. Paymaster W. H. Brown (1823), late secre tary to Rear -Admiral Superintendent Harvey at Malta, and much and deservedly respected in the service, has been appointed clerk in charge of Govern ment stores at tEe island of Antigua, vice Hart. Mr. Surgeon Lardner, late of the Superb, 80, in the Mediterranean, has arrived in England to take up his new appointment in the Monarch, 84, ordinary guard-ship at Sheerness. THE CLIPPER SHIPS of AMERICA. Very justly, great interest attaches, at the present moment, to the slipper ships built to so large an ex tent in the shipyards of the United States for com petition with British merchantmen in the carrying trade of the China and Pacific waters. Probably the following description of one of the latest specimens, extracted from the Boston Atlas, will interest our mercantile readers : " The new clipper ship Staghound, of Boston, has been the wonder of all who have seen her. Not only is she the largest of her class afloat, but her mcdel may be said to be the original of a new idea in naval architecture. She is longer and sharper than any other vessel of the merchant service in the world, while her breadth of beam and depth of hold are designed with special re ference to stability. Every element in her has been made subservient to speed. She is, therefore, her builder's beau ideal of swiftness, for in designing her he was not interfered with by her owners. He alone, therefore, is resp ons ibl e f or h er sa ili ng qualities. She is 207 feet long on the keel, 215 between perpendiculars on deck, an d 226 feet from the knightheads to the tat'. frail. The whole rake of her stem on deck is six feet, and of her sternpost two feet. She has 40 feet extreme breadth of bea m , 2 1 f eet dept h o f hold, and will register 1,600 tons. Her depth of keel is 46 inch es , dead r i se at half floor 40 inches, rounding of sides 4 inches, and shear 2 feet 6 inches. She is uncommonly sharp forward, yet her bow bears no resemblance to that of a steamer; it seems to have grown naturally from the f u l ness of her model portioned that th e etoyea lingers point, beuntitsowilitehaduetillfgulhly proportioned carved and gilded t: staghound, represented panting in the chase, and carved work around the hawse-holes and on the ends of her cat•heads, comprise her ornamental work about the bow. She has neither headboards nor trail•• boards, and may be said to be nake d . forward. A s s h e is 5 feet hi g h er f orwar d th an aft she sits upon _ the water as if r ea dy f or a spr i ng a -head. A . n idea , of the smallness o f h er stern may be f orme d from t h e fact that, at 8 f eet f rom the midships of the taffrail, over all, ` h e i s on l y 241 feet wide. The stern projects abeut 7 feet beyond the sternpost. The between decks are 7 feet high; their waterways are 15 inches square, the streak inside of them 9 by 12 inches, and the two over them combined 10 by 18. These are all croseholted in the usual style. She is seasoned with salt, and has ventilators in her decks and along the line of pl an k sheer, fore and aft, and also in the bitty. She has a topgall an t f orecast l e the height of the main rail,in the after wings of which she has waterclosets for the use of the crew. Abaft the foremast she has a house 42 feet long by 24 wile and 6 high, which contains spacious accom modations for the crew, and other apartments for a ga ll e y, store-room, &c. The upper part of the house ornamented with panels which look neatly. Her cabins are ue(l , -r a halt poop deck, the height of the main rail, and have a descent of thr ee f eet below t h e main deck. Along the sides, and round the stern, the poop is protected by an open rail, supported on turned stanchions. On this deck she is steered, and has a patent steering apparatus embracing the latest improvements. The deck itself is 44 feet long, and in its front, amidships, is a small square house or portico to the entrance of the cabins. The after cabin is 32 feet long by l 3 feet wide, and 6 feet 8 inches high. Its after division is fitted into a spacious state room, with two berths, and is admirably adapted for the accommodation of a family. Be fore this there is a watercloset on each side, then a state-room ; before that a recess of 8 feet on each side s and then two state rooms. The sides of the cabins are splendidly finished with mahogany Gothic panels, enamelled pilasters and cornices and gilt mouldiugs. It has a large sky- light amidships, and every state ro o m h as it s d ec k and sidelight also. In furniture and other details it will be as neat as that of a first-class packet. The forward cabin contains the captain's state room, which overlooks the main deck on the starboard side; it also contains the pantry and state rooms for the three mates and the steward. It is 12 feet by l 8 feet, and is neatly painted and grained, and lighted the same as that abaft. Inside the ship is painted pearl colour, relieved with white ; and outside black, from the water's edge to the rail. She has patent copper pumps, which work with fly-wheel and winches, a patent windlass, with ends which ungear, and two beautiful capstans, made of mahogany and locust, inlaid with brass. She has a cylindrical iron water tank of 4,500 gallons' capacity, the depth of the ship, secured below the upper deck, abaft the main mast, and resting upon a massive bed constructed over and alongside the keelson. The ground tackle, boats, and other furniture are of the first quality, and every way worthy of the ship. Aloft, she looms like a ship of war. Her masts rake alike, namely, 1 j inch in the foot. The distance from the stem to the centre of the fore mast is 50 feet ; thence to the main, 67 ; thence to the mizen, 56; and thence to the sternpost, 42 feet. The following are the dimensions of her masts and yards :—Fore mast, 82 feet ; foretop mast, 46 feet ; foretopgallant mast, 25 feet ; fore royal mast, 16 feet ; fore skysail mast, 13 feet ; main mast, 88 feet ; main topmast, 51 feet ; main topgallant mast, 28 feet ; main royal mast, 19 feet ; main skysail mast, 15 feet; mizen mast, 78 feet; mizen topmast, 40 feet; mizen topgallant mast, 22 feet; mizen royal mast 18 feet ; mizen skysail, 11 feet. Fore yard, 72 feet; fore topsail yard, 57 feet; fore topgallant yard, 42 feet; fore royal yard, 32 feet; fore skysail yard, 24i feet ; main yard, 86 feet ; main topsail yard, 68 feet ; main togallant yard, 58 feet ; main royal yard, 42 feet ; main skysail yard, 32 feet; cross jack yard, 60 feet; mizen topsail yard, 48 feet; mizen topgallant yard, 36 feet; mizen royal yard, 27 feet; mizen skysail yard, 22 feet. Her spars look majestically. Her taut masts and square yards, so duly proportioned, ' fill the eye with admiration.' A first•class frigate, the most sightly ship of war that floats, is not more imposingly beautiful aloft than the Staghound. Her sails are of cotton duck, 22 inches wide in the cloths, and, in cluding the studding sails and stay sails, contain 9,500 yards. With a jib topsail, water-sails, middle royal, and mizen topmast staysails, gaff topsail, and moonsails, she will spread nearly 11,000 yards. In the light winds of the tropics and Pacific, such a vast surface of canvas will ,send her along at the rate of seven or eight knots, when a common freighting ship would make little more than steerage way. The sub stance of her masts and yards, however, show that she is sparred for stormy weather as well as light breezes. Although she is sharp beyond all comparison with other ships, still her floor :s carried forward and aft almost to the ends, and presents as true a surface to the water as ever graced the bottom of any vessel of equal length. That she has a long and buoyant floor is evident from her launch displacement. When launched she drew 101 feet forward and 11 feet 6 inches aft, and this too including 39 inches depth of keel and shoe, clear of the garboards. Those who have not seen her on the stocks imagine, from her sharp appearance on the water, that she must bury in heavy weather; but this impression is erroneous, for she is, in fact, very buoyant for her tonnage ; and what is more, we believe that she will be a re markably dry vessel on deck in the worst of weather. She is, we have already stated, an original, and, to our eye, is perfect in her proportions. Her model must be criticised as an original production, and not as a copy from any class of ships or steamers. We have examined her carefully, both on the stocks and afloat, and are free to confess that there is not a single detail in the hull that we would wish to alter. Mr. D. M'Kay, of East Boston, designed, modelled, draughted, and built her; he also• draughted her spars, and every other scientific detail about her. She is, therefore, his own production, as much as any ship can be the production of a single mind, and upon him alone, as bsfore remarked, rests the responsibility of her success, always assuming that she will be pro perly managed at sea. She was designed for speed, and it is the opinion of competent judges that the vessel has yet to be built that will pass her. She is owned by Messrs. George B. Upton, and Samson and Tappan, of this city, and is commanded by Captain Richardson, a gentleman of sterling worth as a man, and a sailor of long-tried experience. She will load far ;.;an Francisco, and thence will sail for China. We invite our mechanics to examine her, for we feel confident that she will hear inspection as well as any vessel that ever graced our waters." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

It ought to be reiterated, as we said long and long ago, as loudly as if Half London were on fire. Cleanliness (" next to Godliness," it has been said, but not thought), health, public safety, mo rality, general progress, are all involved in it. Pure water, and plenty of it, must be had : the question yet to be solved is," Where from ?" Builder. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WOR SHIP-S TREE T. William Hunt, a marine store dealer in Slater street, Bethnal-green, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having feloniously received a large quan tity of machinery and working implements, the pro perty of Mr. John Jury, an engineer in Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel. The prosecutor stated that on the night of Saturday se'nnight his factory was forcibly entered through the roof, and plundered of the above-mentioned property, a portion of which was subsequently traced to the shop of a general dealer named Hyams, in Wells-street, Mile-end New-town, who accounted for his possession of the articles by stating that the whole of them bad been sold to him by the prisoner. In consequence of further information, he afterwards proceeded to the house of Mr. Jones, an engineer in Slater -street, who imme diately delivered up to him a force-pump and other articles of machinery which formed part of the missing property, and having also informed him that he had purchased them from the prisoner, he obtained the assistance of a policeman, who accompanied him to the house cf that person, and, upon questioning him upon the subject, he positively denied having either bought or sold any property of the description referred to, or that it had ever been in his possession. While they were engaged in conversation, however, Mr. Jones, the engineer, suddenly entered the shop, and the prisoner then said that he recollected having purchased a force-pump and a quantity of brass and iron work from a man who was an entire stranger to him, on the 6th of January; but, on being required to produce his books, he was unable to r e f er t o any entr i es relating to the transaction, and was accordingly given into custody. Sergeant Wakeford and Police-constable Barnes, of the H division, corroborated the latter part of the pro secutor's evidence, and added that, upon searching the prisoner's house, they found a number of turning tools and brass taps, which were identified by Mr. Jury, toge ther with four locks, which formed part of an order he had received for fittings for the House of Detention, and which had b een sto l en f rom h i s factory about 12 months Since. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, submitted evidence the to prisoner; substantiate on the part of hi s c li ent that there was not sufficient guiltys the magistrate e in seemed t he t con duct a o entertain a con t rary opinion, be trusted that sub,tantial bsil would be accepted for his future appearance. jMr. however, said that he should not feel ustified in accepting bail in such a case, which it was his intention to send before a jury, and ordered the prisoner to be remanded for the completion of the de positions. THAMES. Mr. William Endersbee, w h o formerly carried on an extensive business in Eligh-street, Wapping, where his family, settled there for more than half a century, were greatly respected, was brought up on reraand, charged with embezzling various sums of money to the a mount of 301. and upwards, which be had received for an d on account of Mr. Barnett Moss, looking•glass manufac turer, of Leman-street, Whitechapel.--He was fully committed for trial.
