(the coal merchants, of Blackfriars) gave a dinner to the whole of the men in tiseir employ, with their wives. The party was conveyed to High bury Barn in the vans of their employers; and at four o'clock the guests, amounting to 108 persons, sat down to a substan tial meal. After the cloth was removed, the healths of the Queen and the Royal Family were drunk with great enthu siasm, and the whole of the company united in singing the National Anthem. The remainder of the afternoon Wag spent in social converse, and in toasting thevarious classes of persons employed by thefirm. The chair was occupied by the head of the establishment, Mr. George J. Cockerell, who by his urbanity and affability, made every one present feel per fectly at ease; while the guests, by their decorous deportment and their hearty expressions, showed how greatly they re spected their employer and estimated his kindness. The solemn seemer, as a rule, will be found more ignorant and shallow than those who laugh c bo he t k h ,s loy eere dan e d long, content to hide their knowledge.—Eliza i. SUPPOSED MURDER BY A BOY.--John Bates, a Ottwagsham, yesterday morning examined on suspicion of havi n g h b e o l y er ofe theten y - mayor ears of ofagNein committed a murder. It appeared that he had been absent on Wednesday night from the house of his father, a frame work knitter, and had taken with hint his youngest brother, a child of fourteen months old. The father being alarmed at his absence, a search was set on foot, and at seven o'clock on Thursday evening the prisoner was met in the-Long-row in Nottingham market-place, without his brother. Being ques tioned by his father, he declared he knew nothing of the child, nor had he taken him out. He at length admitted that his brother was dead, that a big boy had come up to him as he was sitting in the meadows, and thrown the child into the river. The child was subsequently found in the river, near 1 Wilford. gate. The prisoner being again questioned, said the child had rolled into the river. An inquest was held in the afternoon, but after sitting for some time and hearing evi dence ,the Coron eiand jury agre to an adjournment. v * N°. 18,047.] LONDON, SATURDAY - ;E 1. 4, UNDER THE ESPECIAL PATRONAGE OF HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY TIIE QUEEN, AND FIELD-MARSHAL HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, K.G•, Br.e. rinHE ROYAL NAVAL, MILITARY, and A.

The prisoner remained some days, hen the witness hinted that she did not believe her story, and she absconded with some trifling articles. Sergeant Loom, 11 B, an active Detective officer, said he had received information of a number of robberies having been committed by a woman resembling the pri soner, and particularly a rubbery of a large amount of valuable jewellery from Mr. Killick's, a silversmith and jeweller, at Knightsbridge, and of plate at a Mrs. Butts, of Eaton-place, and from other houses. The witness further proved that he apprellendtd the prisoner in the Vauxhall-bridge-road; that she denied ever having been in Devonshire, or represented that she had come from any part of that country. She ultimately offered t 9 give some information respecting a pin Mrs. Holies had lost. The prisoner declined saying anything, and was re manded tall Wednesday next. WORSHIP-STREET. Two respectably-dressed young men, named George and William Derhychire, brothers, who stood charged with having fraudulently conspired together to obtain household turniture to a large extent from various trades men, were placed at this bar before Mr. Arnold for final examination. Holland, the warrant officer, intimated that there were several other charges of a like description to be preferred against the prisoners; but the magistrate was of opinion that it would be unnecessary to go into them, as the parties aggrieved could prefer additional bills of indict ment in their own cases at the sessions besides those already established, He considered the charges now re solved th.mselves into cases of constructive larceny, and he had therefore no hesitation in at once commiting the prisoners fur trial for that offence. An application was then made by Mr. Vann to reduce the amount of bail already fixed for the appearance of his client, but the magistrates refused to accede to it, and required the prisoners to enter into their own reeognizances of 200/. each, and two sureties in 1001, to take their trial at the next sessions of the Central Crimi nal Court.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the inatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Oats and oatmeal met a moderate inquiry at late rates. Barley, Beans, and peas, without change either in value or demand. Sack flour was taken to a limited extent, at an improvement of 6d per sack. The demand for Indian corn was not so brisk as on yester day, but an advance of 2s per quarter was realized in the sales made. LINCOLN, JULY 26.—For the next three or four weeks the corn markets are exp ected to be smaller than usual, from the near approach to the h arvest .

Hops declined 2s per cwt, the North Cl a y s progressing rapidly, and very free from blight, mildew, or fly. DERBY, JULY 26.—A large market, yet but little busi ness transacted. Barley and oats barely maintain the prices of this day week. Beans, peas, and rye, show a downward tendency, with but very little doing. Prices as follows:—Whito wheat, 46s to 503 per quarter, 18st per sack net; red, ditto, 423 to 45s ditto.

THE ROYAL YACHT'S PREPARATORY CRUISE.—The Victoria and Albert, Royal steam-yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, with his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Sir George Wombwell, Sir Joseph Copley, and Colonel Tyrwhitt, with Prince Leiningen (midshipman of her Majesty's steam-frigate Arrogant), and accompanied by the Stromboli, 6, steam sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, left Gibraltar on the Bth instant, for Cadiz, arrived at Lisbon on the 15th, coaled and started again, touched at Ferrol, arrived at Bordeaux on Monday, and is expected at Portsmouth to-day. A Turkish squadron, consisting of two heavy frigates and a corvette, are expected daily at Spithead. Captain Slade is on board the commodore's vessel in some post of responsibility. We believe it is too true that the Hon. Captain Hest ings has been mulcted in a heavy demuraage for the de tention of a vessel, under Portuguese colours, that he sent into St. Paul's de Loando. She was laden with a valuable cargo, slave food, &c., and was considered a good prize. We hear the mixed commission could not agree about her, the English thinking she ought to be condemned, the Portuguese wishing to clear her, nor could these parties agree in choice of an umpire. It is further said that the matter was decided by the toss up of a dollar, and the Portuguese winning, the vesse l was o f course liberated, and Captain Hastings condemned in a heavy amount of demurrage. Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, was towed out of Devonport Harbour on Wednesday into the Sound, by the Confiance and Avon steamers. Rolla brig tender to the Viceroy, Lieutenant-Com mander Fenwick, returned to Spithead on Wedne day morning from a short cruise in the Channel, looking after the fisheries.

Seaflovver cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Fletcher, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday from the Channel Islands, has gone into harbour to refit. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Southampton, In diaman, arrived from the river, outward bound, this morning. The Owen Glendower Indiaman, for the Cape and Calcutta, will sail this evening should the wind mo derate. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 26.—The Amphitrite, 25, Cap tain Macdougall, lately from the Pacific, was paid off this afternoon alongside the Dockyard, in a most cre ditable and orderly manner. The Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, is in the hands of the Dockyard officers fitting for sea; but she will not be ready for some time, having entered but few men, and having been refitted for ordinary service instead of com mission. She is expected to be out of the hands of the Dockyard officers by the end of next month. The Niger steam-sloop, Commander Heald, is being fitted with Mr. Grant's distilling apparatus. Mr. Peacock has applied his composition to various parts of her bottom. She will be undoaked on the 6th proximo, and sail in a few days afterwards for the Coast of Africa station. It is reported that the Nepaulese Ambassador will visit this port next week; but at present the authorities have teceived no intimation of his Excellency's intention. The Trincomalee, 25, Captain It. L. Warren, is hourly expected from the West Indies, having sailed on the 26th ult. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, from the Cape, with the 95th on board, is also hourly ex pected. The Furious steam. sloop will be launched in this dock yard at the end of next month. A Russian yacht—formerly the property of Lord Eglinton, and then named th e J elnette — a rrived i n this harbour yesterday noon.

WooLwicrt, JULY 26.—The Trafalgar, 120 guns, built at Woolwich Dockyard, under the superintendence of Mr. Lang, master-shipwright, and launched in the presence of her Majesty, and at present in ordinary at Sheerness, is expected to bo commissioned to-morrow by Captain Stopford. The Geyser steam-sloop, recently returned from the Cape of Good Hope station, has had several of the naval engineers placed upon her to see that her engines (by Seaward and Co.) are in good condition, and to make good any slight defects, as she is to be brought forward for commission the moment she can be got ready. The boilermakers are getting new tubes ready, and she will soon be refitted. The Princess Alice has arrived here from Dover to have her defects made good. The James Jardine hired convict ship has arrived at moorings at the Royal Arsenal, Dr. Campbell, surgeon superintendent, is to take on board about 300 male con victs for conveyance to Van Diemen's Land. About 80 convicts will be put on board at Woolwich from the convicts here and from Milbank Penitentiary; the others; will be taken from Portsmouth and Portland convict sta tions. These men will receive tickets of leave on arriv ing at their destination. Among the convicts sent out in this vessel there will be 12 irreclaimable characters, who will have to pay the penalty of their misconduct in the highly penal settlement of Norfolk Island, all attempts to reclaim them in this country having been found use less, and their longer continuance here being a bad ex ample to others. CUATHAM DOCKYARD.—The annual good-service pension grant has been awarded by the Admiralty to Mr. E. Cheesman, one of the foremen of this yard. A serious accident occurred late on Wednesday after • noon at Chatham Dockyard, to a young man, an appren tice to a shipwright, i n the seventh year of his time.

COURT OF CHANCERY, July 26. -IN RE DIMES-WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. In compliance with a writ issued by his Lordship on Wednesday last, Mr. Dimes was brought into court, and the return read by the registrar. Mr. DANIEL, in moving that Mr. Dimes be discharged, directed his Lordship's attention to the return, which set forth the grounds on which he was detained in cus tody. One of these was the order made by the Vice- Chaucellor of England for a breach of the injunction re straining any impediment to the navigation of the Grand Junction Canal; the other was an order of attachment for not putting in an answer to the bill filed by the same company. The answer had been put in, and therefore the cause of detainer on that ground was at an end, and the point to be considered was an order of com mitment for breach of the injunction. That order was signed C.C., meaning Cottenham, Chancellor; and as it thereby became the order of the Lord Chancellor, the object of Mr. Dimes was to show that as such it became a void order, and the commitment founded on it of no effect. The LORD CHANCELLOR, referring to the Act of the 53d Geo. 111. c. 24, which constituted a Vice-Chaccel lor of England, said it appeared by the second section that the Vice-Chancellor had jurisdiction to make de crees and orders, and an order of committal for contempt, made by a court haying competent jurisdiction, was not reviewable by any other court. Mr. DANIEL, in reference to this observation, read the section, which enacts " that such Vice-Chancellor shall have full power to hear and determine all causes, matters, &c.; and all decrees, orders, and acts of such Vice Chancellors shall be deemed and taken to be de crees, orders, and acts of the said High Court of Chan cery, &c., and shall have force and validity, and be executed accordingly." Now it was submitted on the part of Mr. Dimes, that the words " executed accord ingly" meant executed according to the practice of the court, and if the commitment rested en . the decretal order made by Lord Cottenham in 1838, he was prepared to contend that such commitment was not according to the practice of the court, because it was made on an order in a cause in which the presiding judge had a di rect personal interest. His LORDSHIP declined to take into his consideration the question of the commitment being based on the or der of 1836 made by Lord Cottenham. All he had to look at was the fact that an order of commitment bad been made by a court of competent jurisdiction. When such an order was made it could not be brought under the review of any other court. If the Vice-Chancellor had authority to make the order, that, in his Lordship's opinion, was sufficient, if it had also been duly executed. His Lordship thought that, under these circumstances, it would be most advisable that Mr. Dimes and his friends should take into consideration the recommendation he had given on Wednesday, and endeavour to come to such terms of compromise with the other side as would relieve him from his present unpleasant situation, and at the same time enable him to appeal to the House of Lords if he found it expedient to do so. The motion fur discharge on the habeas being thus disposed of, the matter stood over, and at the rising of the court Mr. Daniel asked his Lordship's sanction to an arrangement which he was glad to announce as now concluded. That arrangement was, that Mr. Dimes is to be discharged from custody, on an undertaking that he is not to attempt any infringement of the injunction which restrains him from meddling with the canal until the rights of the parties are finally decided at law; such discharge to be also without prejudice to the disputed issues, and not to be taken as an admission of the legality or illegality of any of the proceeding.% His LORDSHIP thought this a satisfactory arrange ment, and ordered Mr. Dimes to be discharged from custody. ROLLS' COURT, July 26. CREAK V. IRVINE. This case, which was reported in this paper yesterday, again occupied the whole of this day. Mr. TURNER, concluded with his reply. Lord LANGDALE delivered his judgment at length, and directed that an issue be tried at common law to deter mine whether the premises at Church -street, Bermond sey, came into the possession of the defendant in trust for the plaintiff, and as a security, for money advanced by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff, as alleged by the plaintiff's bill.

TVESTAHNSTEE. . • __ Elizabeth Lipscombe, alias Ford, alias Wild, a handsome and fashionably-attired woman, whose appearance was rendered somewhat remarkable by a black speck below the left eye resembling a gun-shot wound, was charged be fore Mr. Broderip with a series of extensive robberies. Several parties were in attendance to give evidence, but as the cases were incomplete, sufficient only wa s taken to justify a remand and to clearly establish the fact that the prisoner bad - been carrying on a most ex tensive system of plunder. Mrs. Holies, of Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, stated that on the 29th of June the prisoner came to her house and represented that she had just arrived in London from Exmouth, and took a sleeping apartment for the night.

Notwithstanding the announce ment of the expectei visit of the Nepaulese Ambassador and his suite, the attendance was extremely small, con trasting immensely, both in the number and revect • - ability of the visitors at the Thames Boat Races last week. There appeared to be a lack of anything like the usual excitement upon such occasions, and a more dull or lamentably-mismanaged affair throughout we never remember to have met with. The Nepaulcse Ambassador and suite came alongside the Endeavour (late the Goldsmiths' state barge, but now Captain Styles's), which was yclept the committee's barge; but upon which there was no person iu that ca pacity from the beginning to the end of the races until after the trial heats, there being at that time only four gentlemen, all strangers. They bowed to the illustrious visitors, and amongst themselves expressed th e i r d ee p regret hat there was no person on board the committee barge to invite or receive the noble strangers, who im mediately proceeded up to Hammersmith on board the steamer Citizen L, which had brought them from town, and, in about thrt e-quarters of an hour afterwards, re turned back, without having seen any rowing, and passed down towards London, in all probability much disappointed.

Dockham [PRICE SD. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 24.—The Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty have just issued a notifica tion, inviting tenders for the conveyance of her Ma jesty's mails to and from the Cape of Good Hope. The contract is to be for seven years, and may be terminated then, or at any subsequent period, by a no'ice of twelve months from either party. The contractors are to engage to convey her Majesty's mail and dispatches between England and the Cape of Good Hope monthly each way, at a speed which, on the average of the annual voyages, shall not be less than eight knots an hour. For this pur pose there are to be provided a sufficient number of efficient steam-vessels, propelled on the screw principle, and supplied with engines of not less than 200-horse power, with competent officers and engineers, and a sufficient crew of able seamen— to be in all respects as to ships, machinery, equipment, and crew subject to the approval of the Admiralty. On board of each vessel is to be provided a secure place of deposit for the mails, and each steamer is to possess proper boats, and whatever may be necessary for the safe embarka tion and disembarkation of the mails. The tenders are to specify the names of the vessels proposed to he employed, their registered tonnage, horse power, where lying, draught of water when ready for sea, and speed, together with the date the said vessels will be ready for survey and complete for sea. The port of departure is to be chosen by the Admi ralty, but parties tendering are at liberty to restrict their offer to sailing from one particular port, or to mention the compensation they would require in the event of the port being changed without their consent. The vessels are to touch at Madeira, Sierra Leone, and St. Helena, and at such other places as the Admi ralty may from tim - e to time determine. Proper accommodation is to be provided free of expense, for the naval officer in charge of the mails; but parties tendering are permitted to state whether they would make a deduction in the event of this con dition not being required. The hours of sailing are to be fixed by the Admi ralty. The Admiralty to have the power of survey ing the vessels by their officers at all proper times, and any defect discovered on such survey is to be made good by the contractors under a penalty of 1001. A penalty of 1001. will be incurred if the vessel stop, linger, or deviate from the direct course, or put back and return, except frotri stress of weather, or other unavoidable circumstance, or unless authorized by the Admiralty agent in charge of the mails. A penalty of 30/. will be incurred when the contractors fail to provide such steam-vessels, (quipped and manned as ' stipulated for, or when the vessel does not put to sea ' according to agreement, and also a sum of 101. fur every hour which shall elapse until she shall actually proceed to sea, but the payment of such penalty is not to be enforced in the event of such default being proved to the satisfaction of the Admiralty to have arisen from circumstances over which the contractors and their servants bad no control. A penalty of 4,000/. will be incurred by way of stipulated or as certained damages in case of the failure of the con tractors in the due performance of the contract, and two sureties . to that amount are required. If the ' contract, or any part of it, be assigned, underlet, or disposed of without the consent of the Admiralty, or if it be deliberately broken the Admiralty are to have the power of immediately terminating the same. The tender is to state the time when the parties will be prepared to commence the contract. The whole postage on letters conveyed in the vessels em ployed on this service, whether carried out of her Majesty's dominions or not, is to be at the disposal of the Postmaster-General. It is understood that the Admiralty do not engage to accept the lowest tender irrespective of all other considerations, and are not bound necessarily to accept any of the tenders that may be sent in. Such is an outline of the conditions upon which the Lords of the Admiralty are willing to receive propcslls for the Cape of Good Hope service. The intention of the Government to establish a regular mail to our South African colonies will doubtless be hailed with great satisfaction, not only by the colo nists, but also by the mercantile community interested in the increasing commerce of that part of .the world. By superseding the present uncertain •means of com munication by sailing vessels all business operations will be greatly facilitated, remittances rendered more regular and speedy, and an inducement will be held out for the middling and better classes of the colo nists to resist their native land, which the prospect of a sailing voyage would in many cases prohibit. Emigration to Southern Africa will likewise be pro moted, and altogether it is not too much to say that the establishment of a regular monthly steam com munication between England and the Cape of Good Hope will prove a new era in the history and pros-, pects of that and the neighbouring colonies. It would thus appear that an independent line of steamers is contemplated with which to accomplish this service, quite irrespective of other lines of Mail steamers, and that vessels propelled with screws are to be exclusively used.• Without attempting to dis cuss the respective merits of the two principles of propulsion as applicable to the ocean-going steamers, we would remark, that so far as the requisite speed is concerned, there is no doubt that screw steamers to go through the water at a rate of eight knots may be easily procured. Whether, however, an annual average cf eight knots an hour can be produced in all weathers, and under all the vicissitudes of 450 lengthy a voyage, and whether in other respects screw steamers will be found to combine the desired regu larity of arrival and departure, with absence from accident and other qualifications of efficient mail con veyances, are questions that must be solved by expe rience, as they have hitherto received but a partial test, and therefore the present service (if carried out on the screw principle) will have the effect of decid ing whether or not vessels of this particular construc tion are in the long run sufficiently to be depended upon for lengthened voyages. There is one point, however, in connexion with the Cape of Good Hope plan that is well worthy of consideration, and that is whether it is worth while to incur the expense for an independent line, when a great portion of the route will be regularly traversed by another line of steamers, and whether by a junc tion with a contemplated line, the same or even greater advantages cannot be secured to the public at a moiety of the expense. On examining this subject, we discovered that an arrangement is possible, whereby the Cape of Good Hope mails might be conveyed to and from England by connecting branch packets at the Cape Verd Islands with the Brazilian mail packets, touching there both out and home. The packets to Brszil are to call both outward and homeward at Madeira, Teneriffe, and St. Vincent's, Cape Verd. The latter port is 2,511 miles, or up wards of three-eighths, of the distance in the direct tract from England to the Cape. It follows, there fore, that if a couple of branch packets were to be employed running from St. Vincent's to the Cape of Good Hope, touching at Sierra Leone, and St. Helena (as contemplated by the Admiralty) and in cor respondence with the Brazilian steamers, they would answer every purpose, and a mail quite equal in re gularity, and of greater speed (because of the supe rior speed and qualities of the Brazil line), would be established to and from the Cape, while the cost to the public service of such branch packets would pro bably not exceed by a great deal one-half of what would be necessary to maintain an independent line. The reduction in expense would be caused by the smaller number of packets necessary, and the lessened distance to be performed by the contractors,—viz., 2,500 miles out, and 2,500 miles home, on each voyage, which, multiplied by twelve, would give the annual saving of steaming distance at 60,000 miles. We cannot doubt that these facts will present them selves to the Lords of the Admiralty, and that their Lordships when adjudicating on this contract will be guided by a due regard for public service, and that only such a plan, whether for an independent or a branch line of packets, will be sanctioned as upon public grounds will appear to combine the three in dispensable advantages of economy, rapidity, and efficiency. SUDDEN DEATH AT PORTSMOUTH.—We are sorry to say that Mr. John Hollingsworth was found dead in his bed, from a fit of apoplexy, on Wednesday morning, at the residence of his son at Southsea Beach. He was an active old gentleman, and had been walking about the day previous. He was 70 years old. Mr. Hollingsworth several years ago established and conducted for many years, with great satis faction to the public, and which have since gained such de served celebrity, the King's Rooms on Southsea Beach. The rooms have now, however, for some years past ;,been under the efficient management of Mr. Henry Hollingsworth, his son, and they constitute the principal attraction of Southsea, and are the resort of the elite of both the residents of this lo cality and also of the numerous and fashionable personages who periodically visit this pleasant and now highly desirable watT iug- place.

THE LATE FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.—AD inquest was held yesterday at the Rose and Thistle, Frimley green, on the body of Thomas Griffiths, aged 23, a moulder, late of Woolwich Dockyard, who was supposed to have died in consequence of injuries received in a pugilistic encounter with William Gill, of Coventry, on Tuesday last. From the evidence of the constable of Frimley, and another witness, it appeared that the deceased, after a protracted contest, fell heavily on the ground, and was thenceforth insensible, and that he never rallied. They further stated that, after the battle, he laid for nearly half an hour on the grass on the common, in a sharp shower, the bystanders considering it " best to keep him cool." That he was afterwards put to bed, and carefully attended by his brother, a friend, and a medical gentleman, who had come down by the same train. That, being left by the last-named gentleman, the local practitioner was called in, but he sunk rapidly, and expired at a few minutes before ten on Tuesday night. The surgeon deposed that he had made a post mortem examination, and found the deceased had received severe contusions from blows and falls. There was also a slight fracture of the edge of the orbital bone over the right eye. The brain exhibited partial congestion, and a considerable extravasa tion had taken place, from blows, falls, or excitement. Concussion of the brain was the immediate cause of death. The coroner finally adjourned the inquiry until this day week, in order to afford time for the collection of further evidence from parties known, or suspected, to have been pre sent at the battle, which is stated to have produced this me lancholy result. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT POOLE.—A very disastrous fire broke out on Thursday morning last in the Steam Flour Company's mill, which for a time threatened the destruction of nearly a quarter of the town, and which was not subdued until property in the building in which it had originated, as well as several others adjacent, -amount ing in value to several thousand pounds, had fallen a sacri fice to the limes.
