Parr) 1 1 ... 2 dr ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. Yesterday the annual match took place for the Grand Challenge Cup, a very handsome piece of plate, and well worthy of the competition which it was intended to ex cite. The race is open to all the Royal Yacht Clubs, and the boats entered for it on the present occasion were four in number - the Cynthia and Musquito, from the port of Lon don, the owners being Mr. Wicks and Lord Londesborough ; the Cygnet, from Southampton, and belonging to Mr. H. Lambton ; the Diana, from Portsmouth, being the property of Mr. J. L. Craigie. To those who are at all conversant with the subject it is unnecessary to say anything as to the first-class character of these yachts; and when, in addition, it is mentioned that the wind blew freshly all day, and that everything turned out favourably for the match, it will rea dily be understood that the progress down the river in the Commodore's steamer, the Ruby, proved to the members of the club, and their friends on board, a most agreeable ex cursion. "It never rains but it pours" is an old adage, but, if "misfortunes never come singly," it sometimes happens that good luck is also cumulative. Yesterday it was so with the Thames Yacht Club, for not only were the boats entered for the race distinguished for their speed—not only did the wind condescend to blow with the exact strength suited to the occasion—but the Nepaulese Ambassador and his suite honoured the club with their presence, and the commissariat department of the Commodore's steamer was put upon a more satisfactory footing than has been the case for some time. With all these " appliances and means to boot," the race went off most brilliantly. The Ruby started from London-bridge at 9 o'clock, with a large party of ladies and gentlemen, who were shortly afterwards joined by the Nepaulese Minister and his suite. They came on board from the Childe Harold, which they appeared to have chartered for the occasion, and having been cordially welcomed by Lord Alfred Paget, sta tioned themselves upon the larboard paddle-box. From this elevated position they witnessed the " start," which took place at Erith, about half-past eleven o'clock, and which is always an extremely pretty sight. They remained on board till the little fleet of yachts, heeling over to the fresh ening breeze, was below Greenhithe. The run down the river, with the tide and wind both favourable, was per formed with great rapidity, the ➢Susquito taking the lead, though at one moment the Diana appeared likely to pass her. At length the buoy at the Nore was rounded by the little fleet in the following order : h. m. s. Mosquito ... 2 2 30 Diana ... 2 5 30 Cynthia ... ... 2 6 16 Cygnet ... ... 214 15 It is seldom that of late years the club matches have ex tended so far down the river. When they have, the race has always been interesting, and the rounding at the Nore has been the climax of it. Within fair sight of the open sea, and feeling its influences, the aquatic achievements of the club assume a more dignified character, and every soul on board the Ruby yesterday returned to town as proud as if he had doubled Cape Horn. To add to the interest of the occasion, the Howe, 120 gun ship, was lying at the Sore, and manned her yards in compliment to the salute of the Ruby, which steamed round her. The sail up the river was expected to produce some change in the fortunes of; he race, as at the time of rounding it still wanted an hour of low water. The Musquito, however, held her way successfully. She was admirably handled by Mr. Stephen Ancon, her captain, and Lord Alfred Paget's old crew. The Diana was passed by the Cynthia, and shortly afterwards ran aground. The Cygnet diminished the distance between her and the Cynthia, and the order in which the winning-post at Erith was reached was as fol lows : h. m. 11f usquito... ..• •• Cynthia ... ••• ••• 11 . 66 35 Cygnet ••• ••• ••• ... 6 55 Thus it will be seen that the Musquito was the winner of b e match, and accordingly the Challenge Cup was awarded _o Lord Lond . esborough, her owner, t o b o ld un til nex t ye ar , when, if he is again successful, it becomes his own.

Porrrsmount, FRlDAY.—Admiral Sir Bladen Capel re turned to Portsm ou th, f rom s h ort l eave o f a b sence on Thurs day eveni ng , w h en h i s flag Victory. was rehoisted on board the Thursday being the anniversary of the signing of the de claration of the American independence (the 4th July), Ithe American packet-ship the Devonshire, at Spithead, was dressed out in her national colours and other flags, and in the afternoon fired a salute of 27 guns (one for every state) in honour of the day. The Furious steamer, of 1,286 tons, now building at Ports mouth, will be launched the first spring tides in August. Admiral Berkeley and Sir B. W. Walker inspected her on Monday last, examining her coal-bunkers, &c. So soon as the Furious is launched the Marlborough, 120, will be laid down on her vacant slip, and she is ordered to be built with all dispatch. The Prince of Wales, 120, and the Royal Sove reign, 120, under the same sheds, have progressed most expe diti,,usly, and if they were required for service might soon be launched. A number of shipwrights are now employed on both these vessels. A butt, the section of an iron steam-frigate, is now being got ready, and will be lined with wood to try whether the wood work may prevent the excessive splintering of the iron-work ; it will be t ested by Captain Chads of the Excel lent, shortly. The iron sides of the Simoom are lined with from 21 1 to 3 inch plank, from the upper covering to the keelson—this wood lining might stop some of the iron splinters from the side plates and ribs—but her beams and shelf-pieces are not lined with wood, and on a shot striking these, a terrible slaughter would probably be made on her crew. While speaking of the iron beams, we observe that no screw hooks have been made for hanging up the ham mocks of her crew, which should have been done before the beams were fixed, as it will take some work to drill holes now the decks are planked and everything fixed. The Termagant steam-frigate, is having her main chan nels taken out to be shifted with her mast sever. feet further forward.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Sirt,-JA. House of 574 Members has declared, by a majority of 46, that Lord Palmerston enjoys the con fidence of his countrymen, and that his policy is pre cisely the policy requisite to the maintenance of their honour and peaceful relations towards the rest of the world. In the state of political feeling prior to the debate the Government had much to contend against, and if their cause had not been inseparably allied with truth and justice, the division might have given them a much smaller majority ; so the result is all the more satisfactory, and carries the greater weight. Those whose machinations are rendered futile, and whose misrepresentations are exposed, would fain make this division tantamount to a defeat. The Morning Chronicle says that the majority of 37 in the Lords deducted from that of 46 in the Commons, leaves Ministers only a margin of 9! Is it possible that the disappointed scribe can imagine for one moment that the people of England will place the votes or opinions of 37 hereditary legislators against the voice of 37 of their own chosen representatives? that 37 men who, qualified or disqualified, inherit a certain legislative dignity, and in many cases a pecu liar legislative incapacity, will—so far as representing public opinion goes—be placed alongside the same number of those representatives, who have lately shown themselves as superior in debate as they are undoubtedly above them in popular estimation ? Why, Sir, the thing is an utter absurdity, a paltry quibble suggested by a spleen as impotent; designed, 1 suppose, to deceive our friends abroad, now that the game of deceiving the people at home is irre coverably lost. The division is 4 ‘ a crowning victory ;' it has been won in the teeth of a combination of parties as un natural as it is discreditable to sora t e 6-6 gincipies concerned : it affords aroule.RT* Lord Palmerston will prevail, though Bright and Broadley meet toge ther, Cobden and Castlereagh kissing each other ; Gibson and Granby ! Hume and Herries! Moles worth and Manners !!! That the Government have triumphed over such a combination of the " Country Party" with happy go-lucky Peelites and crotchetty soi-ilisant Liberals (whose constituents will not forget them at the next election), surely renders the victory the more com plete ; the defeat the more decisive.

Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible ; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it are requested, if conve nient, to have it done the first time at their establishment, which will enable them to use it a fterwards themselves without the chance of failure.

Address, Ross and Suns, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street L.adoa We understand the committee formed for the pur pose of raisng the penny subscription fund, for the erection of the working man's national monument to the memory of Sir Robert Peel, intend, if possible, to appropriate " every penny" towards the monument, and that a separate sub scription list has been formed, for the purpose of the expenses consequent thereon. This amount is u nlimited, and has been declared by the committee to be quite voluntary; several names of high standing are already to be foun d as supporters of the measure. The committee sit daily at the Belvidere Hotel, Pentonville ; and Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., and Lord John Russell, M.P., have consented to be the trustees of the fund at the Bank of England.

(Before Mr. Commissioner 110LYROYD.) EX PARTE THE TRUSTEES OF THE DARTFORD SAVINGS BANK IN THE MATTER OF JOSEPH JARDINE, A DANK RUPT.—JUDGMENT. Mr. Laurence appeared for the trustees of the Dart ford Savings Bank, Mr. Jones for the assignees, and Mr. Linklater for the bankrupt. His llosroust gave judgment as follows :—This was an application under the 28th section of the 31 and 4th William IV., cap. 14, by which it is enacted (amongst other things) that if any person appointed to any office in a savings bank, and being intrusted with the keeping of the accounts, or having in his hands or posssesion by virtue of his said office or employment, any monies or effects belonging to such savings bank, shall become bankrupt, his assignees shall, within 40 days after de mand made by two of the trustees of the savings be IdLgink-Ar anti,Jeur b e-teetAP,,o-bect,i(-},..J., b, roo -ta US"' tees shall appnltit, and shall pay out of the estates, assets, or effects of such person all sums of money remaining due - which such person received by virtue of his said office or employment, before any other of his debts are paid or satisfied. Now,, it appears that Jardine (the bankrupt) had been for many years, and was at the time of his bankruptcy, actuary of the bank for savings for the town of Dartford and its vicinity, and whilst holding such office he received at different times monies from depositors for deposits in the bank for their benefit, which he applied to his own use, and the trustees of the bank, having made the demand required by the above section, claim to be paid by the assignees the whole amount of the assets of the bankrupt's estate, upon the admission of the bankrupt that the sum of 2,1301. now remains due from him, which sum the trustees of the bank say he received by virtue of his office or em ployment of actuary. The gross assets of the bank rupt's estate amount to about 1,3001., and the debts of. the creditors who have proved to about 1,2001. By the terms of 'the 28th section of the 3d and 4th Wil liam IV., c. 14, which I have just stated, the assignees of the bankrupt (Jardine) are bound to pay out of his estate all monies remaining due to the savings bank which he received by virtue of his said office or employment of actuary, before any other of his debts are paid or satisfied ; and the question which I ant called upon to decide is, whether all, or any, or what part of the sum of 2,130/., claimed by the trustees of the bank, was received by Jardine by virtue of his office of actuary to the bank. The Dartford Savings Bank was established about the year 1816; and by the existing rules and regulations of the bank, made on the sth of December, 1844, the in stitution is to be continued under the management of a president, vice-president, trustee; ' and a committee. The Commissioner having stated such parts of an Act of Par liament, and of the rules of the institution, as appeared to be material to the consideration of the case, proceeded with the facts. The bankrupt, who had been actuary from the first establishment of the bank in 1816, for the first three years acted in conjunction with his father; then, upon the proposal of his father, the bankrupt was appointed at a fixed salary; and subsequently, in 1830, he entered into a bond in the penal sum of 1501. (with his father as his surety) for the faithful execution of his office. The bond was given to the clerk of the peace for the county of Kent, as required by the Act 9th George IV., C. 92, s. 72, and transmitted to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 63, s. 16. It is recited in the bond that the bankrupt had been duly appointed actuary and cashier of the savings bank established at Dart ford. The bankrupt performed the same duties after 1844, when the existing rules were made, and wherein he is called " actuary,' as he had previously , performed from 1816 to 1844 as " actuary and cashier.' The Commis sioner then read lengthened extracts from the exami nation of the bankrupt, to show the nature of the duties performed by him as actuary. No (continued the Learned Commissioner) evidence, however, has been adduced before me to enable me to say to what amount the bankrupt has been a defaulter in respect of monies received by him under the authority with which he considered that he was invested. Mr. Laurence, indeed, contended that, under Rule 18, which says that, for the convenience of persons residing out of the town of Dartford, their deposits may be received by any one of the officers or committee of their respective pa rishes, the bankrupt, as an officer of the bank, was au thorised to receive moneys from persons residing out of the town of Dartford ; but I am of opinion, that the words " the officers," as used in conjunction with and before the words " and committee," in that and several other of the rules, means the officers having direction in the management of the institution, and does not include the paid officers of the institution, as the clerk, secretary, and actuary, who, under Rule 10, are appointed by " the officers and committee." For these reasons I cannot order the assignees of the bankrupt's estate to pay the trustees of the Dartford Savings' Bank any part of their demand. The deep importance which must always attach to societies established for the safe custody and increase of small savings belonging to the industrious classes of the country, and the many instances which unhappily have lately occurred of defalcations by officers of savings banks and other like institution, have induced me to give a more lengthened judgment in this case than I should otherwise have thought necessary; and there is still one further point which I feel bound to mention, but as it was not raised before me by the assignees, I do not at present do more than shortly advert to it. As in the course of the inquiry in this case it appears that the sum which the trustees of the savings banks say is due to them is for money received by one of their officers by virtue of his office, or in respect of money which such officer has feloniously embezzled, it becomes a serious question whether the trustees of the bank can seek civil redress before the matter has been heard and disposed of before the proper criminal tribunal, in order that the justice ( f the country may be first satisfied in respect of the public offence. I am aware that in "Ex parte Jones," 2 M. and A., 204, Sir John Cross seemed to think that the re lation of master and servant did not exist between the trustees of a savings bank and their actuary or cashier; his Honour considered the actuary or cashier to be a public officer; but Mr. Justice Erskine (tbe chief judge) does not intimate e. like opinion, and in " Rex v. Jen son," 1 Mood C. C., the prisoner, who was clerk to a savings bank, was indicted for embezzlement under the 7 and 8 George-IV., c. 29, sec. 47, and it was held that he vie properly described (te clerk to tie trate% thoqh riitrtf Vattton EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) :Sittings at Nisi frius, at Guildhall, before the Lotto CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) RICHARDS AND OTHERS V. GLADSTANES AND OTHERS. This was an action on a policy of assurance effected the life of William Capel Clayton, who died in June, 848. The deffnrlants pleated that the statement which formed the basis of the contract was not true, inasmuch as it alleged that Mr. Clayton's habits were temperate and *ober, whereas, long before, and at the time the as surance was effected; he had led a drunken and intem perate course of life. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Butt, and:Mr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff.; and Mr. Peacock and another Learned Gentleman for the defendants. Sir F. THESIGER, in opening the case, said this ac tion was brought by the trustees of the Eagle As surance Company against the defendauti, who are the trustees of another assurance company, 'called the Al him; to recover 499/, the amount of a 'policy effected with them on the 20th of May, 1848, on the life of William Capel Clayton. It appeared that the plain tiffs had advanced several sums of money to Mr. Clayton on the security of a life annuity and a rever sionary interest in certain property, and with the view of having additional security in the event of his death, the amount advanced being nearly 5,000/, they required him to assure his life fur 500/ in the Albion office, which he did after the usual declaration as to health, and an examination by the medical officers of the company, who reported him to be " a good life." On his death, however, which occurred on the 9th of June, 1848, the company refused to hand over the amount of the policy, on the ground that the assured bad deceived the office as to the' state of his health. The Learned Counsel, who contendedftbat there had been no deception whatever on the part of Mr.-0107ton, then gave the tot' I lowing sketch of that gentleman's career. He was born, he said, in 1818, and was the eldest son of Sir William Clayton, Bart., of Harleyford, Buckinghamshire, who was the owner of landed property, not only in that county, but also in Surrey and Oxfordshire. At the age of 13 or 14 he went to Eton, where he remained two or three years, and was afterwards committed to the care of private tutors. He appeared at a very early age to have been of ex remely active habits, and acquired also a taste for chemical pursuits, and to such an extent that a laboratory was fitted up for him at Herleyford, and his time was divided between the study of chemistry and the active sports of the fizld. At the age of eighteen or nineteen his father purchased him a commis sion in the Culdstream Guard'', and twelve months afterwards he accompanied his regiment to Canada. There was no peculiar information with regard to habits while there, but it was to be pre sumed that he lived pretty much like young gentlemen in the army; he was a generous and free liver; but it did not appear that he was guilty of any excesses. While in Canada he became acquainted with a young lady, a naive of America, and of respectable family, whom he married, and brought over to this country. After his return he resided with his family for about twelve mouth', during which time two children were born, one of which now survived, and was the heir to the title. He then removed to Great Marlow, where he set up a separate establishmeut, and occupied himself with chemistry and hunting. In 1842, however, he unfortunately quitted the country for London, and on arriving there sold his commission and became a man without occupation. What was worse, he formed an acquaintance with a young lady named Pitt, who was a singer, and probably the melancholy sequel of his life resulted from that unhappy attachment. He took a room at 33, Castle-street, Leicester-square, and fitted it up as a laboratory at great expense, and devoted himself assiduously during the day to the study of chemistry, but is the evening he was in the habit of frequenting the theatres, and a place called the Cider Cellars, in Maiden-lane, where he used to remain sometimes till 2 or 3in the morning. During all this time, however, it could not be said that he had acquired habits of drun kenness or intemperance. In 1843 Mrs. Clayton be came acquainted with the connexion he had formed, and she went back to her father in Canada, taking with her the surviving child. She returned in August 1844, when She became reconciled to her husband, and they lived Ogether for some time afterwards, first at a hotel in Duke street, Manchester-square, and then in the neigh bourhood of some lakes near Norwich, where he amused himself by fishing and shooting wild fowl. He came to London again in February, 1847,. when he was very em barrassed in circumstances, and no doubt he then gave way to habits of intemperance; but this was long after the assurance was effected, and therefore could not have the effect of making it invalid. As his em barrassments increased his course of life 'became worse and worse, mita at the end of the year, when he became an inmate of the Queen's Prison, where being almost insolvent, and an outcast as it were froto_weitte_tbe fortune and tank, was brouiht to a close by a fatal attack of delirium tremens, occasioned by excessive drinking. The Learned Counsel, then proceeded to call evidence, hut the case had not concluded when we went to press. THE ARMY AND NAVY.

The scruples of the Lord Chamberlain, or rather of the Licenser of Plays, against the production of a martyr play having been, overcome, the Polyeucte of Corneille was produced. Mademoiselle Rachel sustained the character of Pauline, and by a single scene, or rather, we might say, by a single word in that scene Mademoiselle Rachel achieved a triumph even surpassing those she had al ready achieved in her Pt ilre and Roxane. The Polyeucte of Pierre Corneille, written in 1640, is termed a " Christian tragedy," and is founded on the martyrdom of a young Armenian noble in the persecution of the Emperor Decius. During previous engagements of Mademoiselle Rachel Mr. Mitchell has attempted to produce this celebrated work, but has been unable to do so on account of objections made by authorities to the nature of the subject. These objections have been over• ruled, and the result was the performance of last night. Into the question whether or not the tragedy is fitted for representation on a London stage we shall not enter under this head. Considered as a literary work, its plot and its tone are not only completely unobjectionable, but the whole is animated by such a spirit of exalted piety that as a work to be perused in the closet it will probably find favour with many persons to whom produc tions in a dramatic f orm are genera ll y repugnant.son the other hand, with those who lay it down as a principle that allusions to sacred subjects should not be made in a theatre, it is impossible to justify the performance of Polyeucte, for with such allusions the piece abounds. Waving the broad question as to the propriety of pro ducing Polyeucte, we confine ourselves t o th e act i ng o f Mdlle. Rachel. Pauline, whom she represents, is the daughter of Felix, the Roman governor of Armenia, in obedience to whom she has married Polyeucte, though her heart was previously engaged to Severus, a Roman knight. Her ruling characteristic is a strong sense of duty; and though she has been united to Polyeuct* without love, she firmly resists every temptation that is offered when Severus reappears in Armenia. Polyeucte becomes a Christian, and incurs the extreme penalty of the law by insulting the Pagan gods, while Severus has risen in worldly rnk, and, consequently, Felix would be but too glad to dispatch his son-in-law, in order to maks way for a more advantageous successor. Pauline abhors Christianity, but still her sense of duty prompts her to use every exertion to gm, t in 'thy d e il a s - ;di i n _ &A, • 1.0 U 1 p tib • rainy he is put to death, but the sight of his con stancy causes her to adopt the Christian faith, and with the conversion of her and her father the piece termi nates. The aspect and manner which Mdlle. Rachel assumes in this character are precisely the reverse of those which she assumes in Roxane. There we had a restless, impassioned nature, regulated by no principle, and ready to commit any act which inclination might prompt. Here every feeling is controlled by the sense of duty, and Pauline appears as a tranquil being, in capable of wrong—mild, but firm in pursuing the course she has fixed upon as right. Her air is calm, and the simplicity of her costume is in keeping with the nature of her character. Through the earlier part of the piece scarcely anything occurs that may be called a " point." She has an interview with Severus is which she avows her former love, she has to employ her powers of per suasion with her father and her husband, she has to exhibit intense suffering and even aversion, but every feeling is under control, and all is expressed by a re fined declamation with that unity of colouring which Mdlle. Rachel alone can give. By a performance so exquisitely delicate and truthful the audience are charmed, but they are not electrified till the fifth act, when Madame Rachel makes one of the most brilliant displays of histrionic power ever seen on any stage. She has seen the martyrdom of her husband, and at once she is transformed from a quiet sufferer to a sublime enthusiast. Her first impulse is that of grief fur her loss and indignation against her father, but the sense of her conversion rushes upon her to the exclusion of every feeling but that of faith and hope, and in the short avowal "Je croie" she becomes for the moment a being raised beyond the possibility of earthly conflict. The pallid face, the fleshing eyes, the uplifted arms give the most perfect notion of actual inspiration that can be conceived. A thrill of admiration passed through the audience at this marvellous point, and then came a long steady roll of applause. We do not re collect an instance of a strong impression being so suddenly and so universally made. A word of praise should be given to M. Raphael, who played the part of Polyeucte, and showed much feeling and judgment in giving it a sort of supernatural elevation. A long speech, written in stanzas, and in itself a fine specimen of French I) neat poetry, was delivered in a solemn impressive style that produced considerable effect. A classical trifle entitled Le Moincau de Leslie followed Polyeucte. It is founded, as may be supposed, on the charming little ode by Catullus on the death of Lesbia's sparrow, but the grief of Lesbia is occasioned less by the loss of the bird than the inconstancy of the lover. The character of the fascinating beauty is charmingly played by Mdlle. Ra chel, who tells the story of the sparrow's fate with the nicest pathos, but nevertheless the little drama, which is not very pointed, comes in as an anti-climax after the absorbing grandeur of Pauline. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l fully concur in your observations (in your leader of Saturday last) that we may consider the majority of forty-six in the division of the House of Commons on the foreign policy of England a decided and triumphant victory for Lord Palmerston, when we look at the deep-planned conspiracy formed by the Protectionists and Peelites, and the support given them by some of the servile organs of our venial press. The enthusiastic cheers which greeted the Noble Lord on his entering the House of Commons on each evening during the debate is a convincing proof of the high estimation in which his liberal policy is held by the people. But the plan I beg to submit to you, Sir, is, that a testimonial should be got up to present to Lori Palmerston as a lasting memento of the people's regard. A subscription list opened at The Jun office would be immediately signed by thousands, and it would not only be paying a just tribute to the Noble Lord, but would be a convincing proof to the House of Lords, and all foreign despots, that no conspiracy, however well organized, can be brought to crush the Foreign Minister who represents the feelings of the British people. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Bloomsbury. ANDREW CONWAY lIINRICH.
