ORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. ;R, MONDAY NIGHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK,— special and ordinary trains arrived after our last • dispatched, all of them being more or less over due; they brought a very large secession of com pany, and gave strength to the general opinion, that this will be one of the best meetings held et Dcneaster for many years. The subscription-room was the ren dezvous after dinner, but although the crowd was grisat, there was very little disposition to speculate. The bu siness turned chiefly on the Champagne Stakes, for which the Storm, the Venus filly, and Ilippolytus, were severally in force. Mark Tapley and Minimum were in high favour for the Yorkshire Handicap, and Priestess was backed rather freely by a section of Dawson's party, 8 to 1 was offered against any other. Scarcely an thing was done on the St. Leger, but sto 4 was laid several times on the crack, and 8 to 1 taken in hundreds about Beehunter. The Irish horses were not in much favour, and the Marchioness d'Eu's starting was stated to be doubtful. It was announced in the course of the even ing that the stewards were of opinion that Clothworker was not disqualified from starting.

BANKRUPTS. _ _ Captain Smith, C. 8., went in, and having watered and filled up with provisions, sailed out again on the 4 . h. Oa that day the Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, C. 13., ran into the Sleiina creek, where she anchored near the Scourge, 6, steam-sloop, Com mander Lord F. Kerr, and the Firebrand. The Queen, 110, Captain Wise, and. Hogue, 56, screw ship, Captain Macdougall, also went into Malta on the 4th, when the Commander-in-Chief shifted his flag from the Firebrand to the Queen, and on the sth the Firebrand proceeded to sea. On the 7th inst. the admiral and family embarked on board the Queen, and that ship was towed out by the Terrible, and th e Hogue also went out on that day. No one seems to know where he is bound ; some say Corfu—perhaps the most probable destina tion—whilst others are equally sure he will exercise his ships in a trial cruise to Gibraltar. If the qua rantine now imposed on arrivals from cholera-infected places be not speedily removed, it is asserted by those who imagine themselves well informed on Sir Wil liam's movements, that he will not visit us again under a month. Our own opinion is that he is pro ceeding on a cruise to Corfu. On entering the port of Malta the flag-ship and the Hogue were endangered by one of the largest water spouts ever seen in the Mediterranean, and the dan ger was not passed until two guns fired from the Queen and one from the Hogue had succeeded in breaking it. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., was ex pected at Malta, on the Bth instant, every hour. She was to remain a week at that port, and would then proceed to Devonport to be paid off, all standing. Hogue, it was understood, would not return to Malts, but would leave the fleet and proceed direct to Spithead. Scourge was the only sea-going man-of-war in Malta Harbour on the Bth instant.

I lect - - 12 - 2 3 b 7 PORTLAND BREAKWATER By JOHN HARVEY. And FIRST and SECOND ADDRESSES of his SON, ➢tr. JOHN HARVEY, Postmaster of Weymouth, The str:cessrill Promoter of the Breakwater. This work appeals most forcibly to the nautical and mercantile friends of Great Britain. The Act of Parliament Ibr the " Portland Harbour of Refuge and Breakwater" received the llyal Assent lith of May, 1847; 11.11.11. Prince Albert laid the First Stone on the 25th of July, 1849. The Book of Remarks, &c., is wa-mly recommended to the public: it has two Embellishments—one, a Map of the environs of Weymouth ant Dorchester (including the Railroads and Breakwater), des.n'ib ing a circle of 12 miles round Weymouth, and forms a complete Chart of the Bay - most useful to mariners - the .!epth of water hav ing been carefully added. This Map Is sold separate at Gd., and if sent free by post hod. The edict' is a View of Weymouth Bay, &c., with the proposed Breakwater and Harbour, price 3d. separate, and 4d. If sent free by post. The Government works (1850) exhibit an Interesting scene of ac tivity, and attract numbers of visitors daily; some of the Breakwater In an unfinished state is now seen projecting from the shore, and the deposition of stone from the quarries is regularly and rapidly carried forward by railway. A number of additi mal tram waggons have lately been receivet at the works, with a view to the employment Le . of a still larger number of convicts, on the arrival of whom this great national enterprise will be carried on with increased rapidity. Amongst the remarkable machinery to be observed on these works may be mentio3ed a gigantic crane on a moveable platform, intended for the raising of stones from the recesses of the quarries, and which is capable of sustaining with ease the immense weight of GO tons An engine has also been recently erected for the chemical impregnation of the driving piles for their preservation, by a new and ingenious process, by which they are rendered impervious to the action of water. The Interest which attaches itself to Portland from its rare and abundant fossils, its striking geological str Affication, and anti quarian remains is sufficiently notorious. These attractions arc now varied and enhanced by the grand exhibition of the fertile resourcei, the all-conquering ingenuity and profound achievements of the skilful engineer, bending to his uses the most stubborn obstacles, and cir cumscribing the power and sway of the mighty ocean.

The inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland, feeling that a debt of gratitude is owing to Mr. John Harvey for his and his father's un tiring exertions, both by personal application and writing, in bringing before successive Governments and the public the necessity of a Breakwater at Portland (now happily commenced), have resolved on entering into a subscription to present him with a suitable testi monial. The late Mr. John Harvey was, in 1803, by the especial command of his Majesty George the Third, appointed Postmaster of Weymouth, and the present Mr. John llarvey succeeded his father in the same situation in the year 1817. Subscriptions will be re ceived by the Weymouth Banks, Libraries, and Post-office, slid it is hoped that the country generally will unite with the inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland, in promoting this laudable object.

DISPUTED LIFE POLICXES. " A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. In the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of In temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence turned upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote,cting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grantinc , f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the fall responsibility of the com pleteness of such ingdiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected be be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

Yesterday a Court was held specially fur the con sideration of the reference to the Officers and Clerks Committee upon the office of Recorder. SCJIOOL FOR ORPHANS OF FREEMEN. Mr. WHITE, the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, introduced the subject of refer ring to a Committee the Act fur establishing a school for orphans of freemen of the city of London, by moving, " That it to referred to the committee over which he presides, to obtain a design with plans and specifications for the erection of the building, and to report the same to the Court." Mr. PERKINS moved as an amendment, " That the president and governors appointed by this Court orythe 17th day of January last, for the purposes of the Corporation School, be constituted a committee to carry into execution the Act of Parliament for esta blishing a school." And, upon the rejection of the first motion, when the amendment became the original question, Mr. M. Iforwoon moved as an amendment, " That it be referred to the City of London School Committee to carry the Act into effect." A discussion of considerable length took place, but it was finally decided, on the motion of Mr. Deputy °BEARD, that the whole business should be referred to a ward committee, which was thereupon appointed. THE OFFICE OF RECORDER. Mr. IlitowN, the chairman of the Officers and Clerks Committee, brought up the following report : " We, your committee, to whom on the sth of Sept. it was referred to consider the duties and emoluments of the office of Recorder of this city, and to report thereon previous to the election taking place in the Court of Al dermen for a successor to the Hon. C. E. Law, and to whom, on the same day, wore referred the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen, with the report of the com mittee of the whole Court upon that office, do certify that we proceeded in the reference, and have perused the duties set forth in the report of the committee of the whole Court of Aldermen abovementioned, and, subject to some amendments which we have made, we recom mend the same for adoption by your Hon. Court, toge ther with other duties which we have inserted therein, and we have caused the whole to be hereunto annexed. " We beg, further, to recommend that your lion. Court should rescind the 48 standing order—' That the Recorder be advised with in all cases relating to the City affairs when it may be necessary to take the opinion of counsel.' " And, having referred to the proceedings of this Court is respect of the salary of the late Recorder, and especially to those of the 28th day of April, 1837, by which it appears that this Court added the sum of 500/. per annum, thereby making it 3,000/. per annum, and having well considered the high importance anfi dignity of the office of Recorder, and the weighty responsibilities which devolve upon him; and having also taken into full consideration the resolution of the Court of Aldermen that the Recorder should be required to attend and sit daily at the sessions of the Central Criminal Court, by which additional duties will be cast upon the office, we are of opinion, and recommend that this Court should continue the salary of the Recorder at the sum of 3,0001. per annum, which said sum shall be in full of all fees, emoluments, and advantages heretofore received by the Recorder from the city's cash, or from the sheriffs or otherwise; and, if from any circumstance the duties of the Recorder shall be altered and diminished and the salary reduced accordingly, we are of opinion that the Recorder should have no claim for compensation in re spect of such reduction. " All which we submit this 14th day of September, 1850. " H. BROWN. " D. W. WIRE. " THOMAS FALL. " EDWARD WATSON. "JAMES WATERLOW. " J. S. BARNARD. " J. R. FARRER. " W. G. Hulneuay." Mr. BROWN, in moving that the report be agreed to, urged the necessity of abolishing the fees of the office, and of making the established salary such as would encourage applications from the most eminent men of the profession. Mr. DE JERSEY suggested the propriety of avoiding the consequences of a precipitate judgment upon a matter of such importance as the appointment of a judge. Alderman LAWRENCE said the election of Recorder would take place on Tuesday next, in the Court of Aldermen, and no doubt the amount of salary settled by the Court of Common Council would have an effect upon the choice which must then be made. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR rose to move an amendment. It was known to the members of the Corporation that the salary of the office of Recorder had been raised from time to time from a very small to a very large amount, and that Recorders upon being appointed looked forward uniformly to an increase of pecuniary remuneration for. their services. To give the largest salary at once upon the appointment of the officer would be injudicious, inasmuch as it would prove a source of dissatisfaction to him to have no expectation of additional profit, at the same time that there was no security for the adequate performance of the im portant duties of the situation.—(Hear, hear.) When the salary of Mr. Law as Recorder was fixed at 2,5001. a year, it was considered that the Corporation had acted with great liberality. He thought that in providing a salary for a successor to that gentleman, they should not exceed that sum, and they might, upon finding that the qualifications of the new judge were unexceptionable, and that all the duties were punctually as well as ably performed, make the addi tion which would meet the present recommendation. He knew that many men of eminence at the bar con sidered 3,0001. a very large allowance for the per formance of the duties of Recorder, and he would not object to so liberal a proposition when the Corporation were satisfied that the person upon whom the election should fall deserved the increase. —(Hear, hear.) In fact, the question in the committee was, whether the salary should be 2,5001. or 3,0001, and the proposi • tion of the larger amount was carried by but a small majority. Mr. Taylor then moved—" That the sa lary of the Recorder be 2,5001., instead of 3,0001. a year." Mr. BLAKE seconded the amendment. He was of opinion that it would be a very bad compli ment to the late Recorder to vote at once to his suc cessor the full amount of salary which Mr. Law had been considered entitled to after many year' service, and it would not be at all advisable in the Court to give out of its own hands the power of showing ad ditional testimony of its approbation. Alderman LAWRENCE advocated the grant of the larger salary. He called upon the Court to recollect that when the late Recorder was appointed, the Cen tral Criminal Court, with all its onerous duties, was not in existence, and that the Learned Gentleman was allowed to go on circuits and hold briefs, which con siderably added to the profits cf his office. By the report of the committee the Recorder would be pre vented from availing himself of any professional ad vantages. Everything would be included in the sa lary to be given by the Corporation.—(Hear, bear.) It would be found, that .in the history of the Re • corders of London, there was nothing like a rota tion principle acted upon. The inferior law officers seldom reached that office, although many Recorders had been elevated to most important judicial situations. The last three Re corders had been elected by rotation, certainly. For 100 years previously there had been no example of the kind ; and he believed he spoke the sentiments of the Court of Aldermen, when he said they were de termined to elect the best man they could find, and that their private feelings of friendship would not be allowed to operate in the choice.—(Hear, hear.) Now, if the Corporation were determined to abandon the principle of rotation altogether, and choose the most eligible person, they must pay for it.—(Hear, hear.) If they only gave 2,500/. a year to their Recorder they would circumscribe their choice, and they would fail to get a man whose talents and style of character were suited to the place. They must consider that they not only offered an inferior salary to that which the late Recorder received, but they required the performance of 50 per cent. more duties than he had ever performed. They must consider that the new Recorder would be by the new regula tions in a condition to be called upon by the Corpora tion for professional aid without receiving extra fees, and he apprehended that as there was to be no ex pense, applications to the learned gentleman would abound.—(Hear.) In short, 3,0001. a year would buy a good man, and 2,5001. a year would not come up to the mark.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. Deputy OBBARD said it was the pride of the country that her Majesty's judges were independent of the Crown, and he thought it rather a degenerate movement in Mr. Taylor to endeavour to make the highest City judge dependant upon the Court of Com mon Council.—(Hear.) It was as much as to say, that if the Recorder happened to please the members of the Court, irrespective of the ability with which he might perform the duties of the office, he should feel it in the increase of his salary. He did not approve of the object of those who advocated the amendment, who required more attention to the business of the office and offered less pay.—(hear, hear.) Mr. DE JERSEY agreed in the opinion that the Court ought to select the best man they could find ; but they were not going in the right way to accom plish that object in pressing on the question in such a hurry. The Lord Mayor ought to be called upon to appoint a special day for the consideration of a matter of so much importance.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. De Jersey referred to the comparatively small salaries received by the old Recorders, many of whom were raised to the highest judicial dignities. Sir James Eyre had, he said, never received more than 400/. a year as Recorder, and he believed there were 100 men in Westtnioster-hall who were eminently qualified to perform all the duties. He was glad to hear Alderman Lawrence decry the principle of rotation. Perhaps is was meant the Court should understand that the Court of Aldermen did not intend to act upon that principle.—(A laugh, and cries of" Hear, hear.") Now, the. Court of Common Council, in electing their Common-Sergeants, did not always look for the best man, although they always gave them the best salaries.—(A. laugh.) Certainly some former samples did no great credit to their judg ment. He called upon the Court to vo'e no higher salary than that proposed in the amendment. No doubt a future application for an increase must be expected ; but they ought to wait and ascertain the strength of the claims. There never yet was an officer of the Corporation who did not come up for an addition to his allowance. There was not a single exception to that rule.—(Laughter.) Now the Court ought to consider that they bad nothing to do with the election of the officer to whom they were about to vote a salary. They ought to take care of their money.—(llear, hear.) If the Aldermen should elect a good man in every respect qualified to do justice to the office, the Court of Common Council could and would reward him, but precipitation in such a case must be injurious. Let the Court look to the labours of the judges of the land when the duties of the Re corder were spoken of as laborious. For 5,0001. a year a judge in one of the courts of law were obliged to undergo the most severe wear and tear of body and of mind, and to perform more than double the duties of the Recorder, at the same time that the expenses necessarily attendant upon his station seriously abridged the profits of his calling.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Deputy LOTT said, that taking into conside ration the nature of the duties the Recorder had to perform, he did not think the sum of 3,0001. a year too much. Mr. BOWER, said that no good could arise from the adoption of the amendment. The ordinary man who would be candidate for the office at 2,500/. a:year, would calculate that to a certainty he would reach the larger amount, while a man of eminence and high qualifications would reject the offer, at the same time that he would not hesitate to accept of that which his predecessor enjoyed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. TAYLOR, advised the Court to exercise caution in dealing with a matter with which the Court of Aldermen had to do. He disapproved of some judicial appointments which had been made. It was not always that a good advocate made a 'good judge. Sir James Scarlett was a capital advocate, but what a judge l—(A. laugh and cries of " Hear.") He thought it only right to put the Court in mind of one thing which occurred to him on the subject of the rotatory system alluded to—when Mr.. Knowles, their Common-Sergeant, was candidate for the office of Recorder, the celebrated Sir James Macintosh was proposed for the same situation,and Mr. Knowles, who was compelled by the livery to resign, some years afterwards was successful.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PEwntess was for the smaller salary. The late Recorder was a man of great humanity, and had numerous excellent qualities, but as an adviser to the Chief Magistrate he was by no means sound. That Court had witnessed occasions on which, his counsel was subjected to serious condemnation. He hoped the Court would keep in their own hands the only check they had upon the exercise of an authority that might be made injurious to them.—(Hear.) Mr. Wine was most decidedly in favour of the recommendation of the committee, and thought the honour and happiness of the citizens of London were involved in the question of a liberal demonstration to their chief judge. Those who argued for the amend ment did not appear to be aware of the value of a pure and independent bench. Mr. Pewtress had alluded to the late Recorder as an adviser, but did not state what would have certainly operated as a corrective of the evil which he condemned. If the Court had resisted the Recorder, instead of submitting to him, no inconvenience could have resulted from his interference.—(Hear, hear.) The fault was decidedly in the Court. It was, he contended, the duty of the Court to make their judges independent of the popu lar body, and they had done so in the case of the late Recorder, and they would do so in the case of the future. He was an economist, but he would not allow his principle of economy to interfere with the principles of justice. He had had much experience in the court in which the late Recorder generally pre sided, and ho knew that the Honourable Gen tleman performed his various and extensive duties with great ability and humanity, and when it was considered that the Caltral Criminal Court dealt with a population of 2,000,000 some idea might be formed of the difficulties be had to encounter and the labours he had to undergo. The question was not whether 100 men were ready to take the situation, but wheth e r the Court could get a properly qualified man. He trusted that the Court of Aldermen would elect some able man in progress to eminent station.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think that any man in that court knew who would be elected. He believed the Court would look for the best man, and he believed they wo uld readily give up any favourit e an d a d opt the man who had the most indisputable pretensions.—(Hear) Mr. liaoox said that the City bad their eyes upon the members o f t h e Court as to the vote upon the question of the salary, and that every one, at least in his ward, who should vote for more than 2,5001. to the Recorder would certainly be called over the coals.—(Laughter.) Mr. J. WOOD spoke in favour of the report of the committee. He expressed a wish that the elec tion should lay with the Court of Common Council, but he had every reliance upon the Aldermen on the question. 1 - ,0 The h a e le C a o m u e rt m t i h ni e e n n d t Lvi 2 d: s d o , o7 h a e y n e t a h r er .. e appeared,— 24 For the adoption of the report-3,000/. a year 35 Majority in favour of the report 1 The Court the❑ adjourned.

The Board of Admiralty having concluded their inspection at Queenstown, left that port in their steam-yacht, Black Eagle, Master-Commander Cook, at five A.M , on Sunday. Their Lordships arrived at Milford, and inspected the dockyard and Admiralty establishment there on the 16th, and yesterday morning proceeded to Holyhead to visit the packet station, whence they were expected to return to town last night by railway. Prince Ernest of Leiningen joined the Fox frigate, Captain Lambert, at Spithead, on Saturday last, as a cadet. He formerly belonged to the Arrogant, which ship he left at Bordeaux a short time back. There is a rumour that the Fox will go back into Portsmouth Harbour to have Mr. Grant's cooking and distilling galley fitted on board. As the ship stows but a short quantity of water (we believe only 95 tons), this galley would be most serviceable, es specially as she is going on the East India station, where the water procured is often of bad and unwhole some quality. Admiralty orders are at Devonport for the Belle rophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C 8., on her arrival at that port from the Mediterranean, to be paid off " all standing." None of her stores are to be returned to the dockyard, and she is to be immediately re-corn mission‘d as an advanced ship, with a crew of 300 officers and men. Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, is re ported ready to proceed to Spithead to-day. She takes artillery to Barbadoes and Jamaica, and returns to Woolwich with the reliefs. Buzzard steam-sloop will not be completed at Woolwich until the latter part of next month. Elfin royal yacht tender, Master-Commander Balliston, is having her defects made good. She will not be out of the engineer's hands before the 3d October. Firefly steam-vessel, Commander Seymour, will leave Woplwich, for Greenhithe and Devonport, on the 25th inst., and will be ready to sail for the coast of Africa on the Ist prox. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, is oriered to have her ar mament to be ready at Woolwich, but not to be em barked at present. Hercules store-ship, Master-Commander Fulton, was towed out of Gibraltar, August 25, by the Janus steam•sloop, for England. She certainly ought to have made her appearance somewhere in the English Channel before now-23 days from Gibraltar. Penelope steam-frigate is reported to be taken out of dock at Portsmouth on the 19th. Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is reported to be this day ready at Portsmouth to pro ceed to Spithead. She looks remarkably well now, with her 400• horse engines and heavier armament. Her engines, we understand, weigh between 12 and 13 cwt. per horse power. Sanspareil screw line-of-battle ship, ordered to be launched at Devonport next month, is not to go off the stocks at that time, consequently the hands that had been working upon her have been taken off. Sinbad lighter, Follett master, has' arrived at Devonport, with stores from IVoolwich and Ports mouth. Teazer screw-schooner, Lieut.-Commander Selwyn, sailed from Queenstown on Sunday at 10 A.M., for Woolwich, to be paid off. Wasp screw-slcop will be ready for commission at Woolwich, by the 30th instant. THE MEDITERRANEAN. Our correspondent, in his last letter from Malta, announced the arrival at that port of Vice Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., the Commander in-Chief, in the Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain T. 0. Knox, leaving the fleet under the temporary com mand of Captain the lion. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., of the Powerful ; and that the ship 3 were to come into Malta harbour by twos for water. After the depar ture of the Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, and the Powerful, 84, Captain Dundas, on the 2d instant, the Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter, and Ganges, 84, packet, Lieutenant Darby, had entirely recovered from the effects of the very serious accident which kept him seven weeks in the hospital. He would resume the command of the Medina on her arrival at Malta from Marseilles, with the outward ma il. Dr. Chapman, al so f the Medina, was fast recover ing from an illnees which once presented symptoms of great danger. A court of inquiry had been recently assembled at Malta, at which charges preferred by Lieutenant Glinn, commander of the Triton steam-packet, were considered. The person affected was the assistant surgeon of that vessel, who subsequently tendered his resignation. Oberon steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Gardiner, was expected at Malta on the 9th, with mails from the lonian Islands and Greece. Triton steam-packet was to convey the overland portion of the homeward India mail (expected about 12th instant from Alexandria, by the peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon) to Marseilles. Merlin steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Bathurst, was under orders to convey from Malta to Alexandria the outward India mail, expected about 14th instant, per Medina, from Marseilles. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger, from Southampton, arrived at Malta on the morning of the Bth, at half-past six, and was to leave as soon as she had coaled for Constantinople. The Erin, of the same company, was daily expected. She was loading fruit at Smyrna. Proponti4, one of the new line of screw-steamers, was also daily expected. She, too, was loading fruit at Smyrna. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD, SEPT. 16.—Th e M ar t en, 12-gun brig, is now ready for launching, and it has been arranged that the event shall take place on Thursday next, the 19th inst., at about five o'clock in the evening. She is a finely-modelled vessel, and has been constructed on the plan of Sir Wil liam Symonds the late Survey o r t o th e R oya l Navy. This will be the last launch that will take place during the present year, but in the course of the ensuing season it is expected that several large men-of- war will be launched from the building-slips, especially a magnificent first-rate, the 'Windsor Castle, of 120 guns, which is already in a very forward state. The practice of the Royal Dockyard Battalion in ball-cartridge firing has just concluded, and the pre cision and accuracy shown by the gunners in firing at the floating target, both from field-pieces and other guns, has been most creditable ; they are now an efficient and disciplined body of men. WooLwic SErT, 17.—The Teater steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jasper 11. Selwyn, is ex pected at 'Woolwich by this evening's tide, on her return from the coast of Africa, where she has been stationed since the latter end of 1848. The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander Bradshaw, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 17th of August - , in six days from Quebec, and was to embark a company of Royal Sappers and Miners at Halifax, and then leave that port for Woolwich. PORTSMOUTH, THESDAT.—The Stromboli steam sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, was paid off alongside the dockyard to-day. The Thetis, 36, Captain Kuper, at Spithead, will sail in a few days to join Commodore Martin's squa dron at Lisbon, offering the first opportunity of send ing letters, &c., to officers and men gratuitously. His Netherlands Majesty's schooner Atalanta, Lieutenant-Commander J. A. Klerck, from Helvoet aluys, arrived off this port on Sunday, and came into harbour yesterday, by direction of M. Louis Van den Bergh, his Netherlands Majesty's Vice-Consul at this port. She is to await the arrival of the Prince von Orange frigate, hourly expected from Lisbon, to remain here some days. The Sprightly tend er sa il e d t o- d ay for Plymouth with supernumeraries. The Margaret Evans American line of packet ship arrived to-day from London, and having embarked stores, sailed for New York at 10 A.M. POISONING AT LAUGHARNE, CARMARTHENSHIRE. The utmost excitement has been created in the vicinity of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, owing to the deaths of two, and the serious illness of many other persons, and which, from the investigation of Mr. Herapath, the analytical chymist of Bristol, there is but too much reason to fear have been caused by arsenic. Although the inquest on one of the bodies was formally commenced on Saturday, and, of course, ad journed in order to obtain the result of Mr. Hera path's analysis, we may state, that from the appear ances which the stomach presented there is but little reason to doubt that the death of the unfortunate deceased was caused by poison. The dreadful cir cumstances of this case and the occurrences which have led to a judicial investigation, may be briefly narrated as follows seem that about a fortnight since three of the female servants of Mr. T. Se verne, of Brixton, in the neighbourhood of Laugharne, after partaking of some soup for dinner, were suddenly seized with violent and severe illness. The usual symptoms attendant upon the operation of arsenic were exhibited, such as great vomiting and purging, and the most excruciating pains in the stomach and bowels. Medical assistance was, of course, called in, and, as in most of these cases where no suspicion of poisoning existed, the symptoms were attributed to gastro enteritis, or else to English cholera in a severe form. Two of these unfortunate girls were removed to the residences of their friends, but the third, a young woman named Rebecca Uphill, remained at Mr. Severne's house, and, after two days of great suf fering, expired. Shortly before her decease she was visited by a medical man, who stated that she was suffering from cholera, and, after her death, he gave the usual certificate to that effect. The deceased was interred .in Laugharne churchyard on the following Friday; and now appears the extraordinary manner in which the real cause of death was brought to light. The remains of the soup above alluded to, it seems, were thrown into the hog -trough, and soon after the pig had, with the accustomed verocity of tbat animal, swallowed the whole of it, it was taken ill and died. A butcher, who was called in, on opening the carcase, found that both the stomach and in testines exhibited unmistakable traces of severe and active inflammation. It was now re membered that about two months before this occur rence Mrs. Severne died very suddenly, and that after au illness resembling in many respects the illness of the three female servants. This and some other cir cumstances having caused suspicion to be entertained of one of the servants, a letter was written to the coroner, who, after making official inquiries into the facts, or dered the exhumation of the body of the girl Uphill, and announced his intention of holding an inquest on the body. The exhumation took place on Thurs day last, when, in the presence of proper witnesses, the stomach, intestines, &c., were carefully removed, and conveyed to Mr. lierapath for the purpose of chemical analysis. Subsequently to the exhumation a post mortem examination of the body was made by Mr. Hamilton, of Laugharne, and Mr. Hughes, of Carmarthen. They found very suspicious appear ances, and particularly the stomach and bowels bore marks of a high state of inflammation. The result of the investigation is looked forward to with much anxie Lord Adolphus Fit zclarence and S it George Womb well returned to town on Monday, from paying a visit to his Majesty the King of Hanover. CESAREWITCH. 30 to 1 agst Backbiter (t) 130 to 1 agst Landgrave (t) TUESDAY. The continued fineness of the weather, and a vast in flux of visitors from the manufacturing districts, have given an éclat to the commencement of the races that, under any circumstances, would be gratifying to the townspeople, but which becomes doubly so after the recent attempt of an unpopular section to suppress them ; that their progress will be equally favourable does not admit of a doubt. The assemblage on the course this afternoon was exceedingly numerous, a clear proof that the steward s , i n strengthen i ng the ist with the Great Yorkshire Handicap exercised a wise discre tion—of late years the first day has been the least at tractive. The Grand Stand was patronised by a large and fashionable company, and the enclosure was densely crowded by men of business from all the sporting dis tricts. So little time is left to forward onr parcel to the express train, that we must leave the racing to speak for itsel£ The St. Leger betting continues flat, and with scarcely any change in the quotations.
