NICOLL'S PREMISES AND SYSTEM OF' BUSINESS. Messrs. 7.,TICOLL'S WARE-ROOMS in REGENT-STREET now extend from No. 114 to 120 (inclusive), and in that part which is pronounced to be the most favoured spot of row the first arid most fashionable street in Europe, and is, therefore, the best site for a large and elegant maLtazine for every article that come+ within the catalogue of Gentlemanly Attire, for which one fixed and moderate price is most properly charged. Here the numerous skilful and in telligent assistants attend to such orders with which they may be intrusted, and with an equal amount of respect and civility to all, however small the purchase may be—indeed an inspection of the beautiful fabrics exhibited in these Warerooms, is courted by the above firm, without necessarily expecting the purchase of any article, with regard to which the public have long since ascertained, that to be really cheap, it should be really good. NOVELTIES IN COSTUME. 114, REGENT-STREET, will, as heretofore, form the princi pal entrance to NICOLL'S PALETOT WAREROOMS and Ex hibition of all the Novelties (as well as all the established articles of costume) that capital can collect or skill can form ; and, besides the NICOLL PALETOT or Patent Coat, there is the original invention, the REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and ;7 Vic., cap. 65), and NICOLL'S MORNING COAT, all well-approved garments for Spring and Summer Wear. The original moderate price of these Garments is retained, viz., ONE and TWO GUINEAS, notwith standing all the recent improvements, making them not only the most gentlemanly, but also the most durable and inexpensive articles of dress extant. FOR WEDDINGS, &c.-116, REGENT STREET. Hera much ingenuity of design may be witnessed in embroidered and other materials Intended for WAISTCOATS in WEDDING, BALL, or MORNING WEAR. UNIFORMS are also produced at fair prices, either for MILITARY, NAVAL, or DIPLOMATIC purposes, 118, REGENT-STREET, forms a Depart ment for Itches, and whether intended for the Peer, the Clergyman, the Barrister, or the Youth at College, they will severally show eX cellence combined with economy. YOUTH. -120, RE GENT - S TR EET. PARENTS and GUARDIANS are respectfully invited to inspect the cost of the several garments here submitted, and con sidered necessary for the Universities, Public and Private Schools, In this branch clever and efficient persons are employed by Messrs. NICOLL, as in all other departments, the result being the production of a more graceful and elegant appearance in Youths' Clothing than has hitherto been approached ; while, at the same time, their durability and general excellence will be as strongly chAraeterised as in NICOLL'S PALETOT. CAUTION. —Many have of late used the word " Paletot," but H. J. and D. NICOLL arc the sole Proprietors of both design and material. • ,91r143P---CRY-r--26110- CORNaLkolir7(oloPosita4tin' Roial'Exchange,) is the address of Messrs. NICOLL'S CiTY E sTABLISHMENT, where the PALETOT with materials and skill as in Regent-street are submitted for inspection and use, and at the BEAU in CHANGE-ALLET is the SHIPPING BRANCH. The Counting-house and Wholsesale Department for the sale of Woollen Goths, &c., and for the supply of Messrs. NICOLL'S AGENTS throughout the UNITED KINGDOM and the COLONIES is in WARWICK-STREET, No. 41, where applications should be made for the CONDITIONS with the PRIZE of 5001., to be GIVEN by Messrs. NICOLL for the BEST SPECIMEN of CLOTH shown at the GREAT EXHIBITION of the INDUSTRY of ALL NATIONS. Warwick-street is immediately at the rear of the Paletot Ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, London. TRACES.—KHOREE is a NEW IMPOR TATION by the Messrs: NICOLL, through their Agent in INDIA. It isfir Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into a PAL ETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of reslsting,:or counteracting, in a' most remarkaiee manner, the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it may he concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, Is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the, simple process of washing. The price is hut ONE GUINEA AND A HALF. The adaptation of this article t ) the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is PA TENTED by H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, REGENT STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, LONDON.

To guard against imitations, see that the names of " LEA and PERRINS" are upon the label and patent cap of the bottle. EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of GR IMS T N NE ERAT'S AROMATIC REGEOR. If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11s. bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bury, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifeld virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The 1 is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the casu3e —the universal use of Grimstone'e Eye Snuff ! and because it cured OphthalmiaGrutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, §7 Amuses "of sassrftlarlsgykelobbiKtorlnformers, still it was talACrof _ oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey SYkee, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protectien, signed by the orris to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing do Le 18th February, 1525.

HERALD.—H+itbin the last century every state in Europe—not even excepting barbarous and Hy perborean Russia- 7 .has undergone some change—has been influenced by 'the course of opinion, of events, and of advancing civilisation. But the Court of Rome has undergone np change whatever. It is un changed as unchangeable. Tne history of the pro ceedings of Popes and of Cardinals is not widely dif ferent in 1850 from what it was in 1450, 1550, or 1688, when Innocent XL set up pretensions so an noying and offensive to Louis XIV. This immobi lity and unchangeableness—this stand-still and stag nant system—is one of the greatest vices of ecclesias tical government. As their ,predecessors have been so the Popes of Rome continue to be. The tradi tions of the past are for the Popes and Cardinals, and for the Popes. and Cardinals only, the law of the future. Open Muratori and Giannoni at any Pope or Conclave not very different p w a h g e e r — e y r e o a u d w o the a n p d r o t c h e e e di i n s g to s r yo f i s from that which is occurring under our own eyes now-a-days: The Pio Nono of 1850 seeks to aggran dise and monopolise power—seeks to be an absolute of a his Roman Churche Sovereign, bound by no laws—seeks as much to go vern according to his own , will a n d pleasur e a s the oemhid a n eehrov, e '1 i n gpredecessOrs. Pius t man, and whenever th e p rivile g es of his order or his most IX.des despotical ti b ca e l for an e d all d religion are concerned be will be as much of an In quisitor as TOrquemada himself. 'Though the ordi nary judges of the Pontiff may occasionally pay in common, civil, or criminal cases, some alight deference to Justinian or the Pandects, yet in anything con cerning the Papal prerogative or , Govertunent the Pontiff's will is the supreme law. pgis deCties are alone conclusive. He m a y alter or annul whatever he pleases. He is bound to the observance of no written laws, and he may, supersede written laws by alialeksribtepx9se andahaelute are abso'lute in the form of resoilPtig; which conclude with a general supersessory:olause , contrariis quibus cunque non obstantibus. No tribunal in Rome cm ex amine or take cognisance of a matter which. has been the subject of a Papal ,rescript. In cr i m i n al cases, the 'Pope can alter the punishment or pardon the delinquent; and so absolute is the power of his Holiness, that by a . private billet to the Governor of Rome, he 'may order: an- individual to be arrested and sent to the gallies without mentioning the crime, only saying in general terms, cdusis nobis nous." A sacerdotal Sovereign enjoying such an unlimited, such a terrible power as this, is not very likely to show any reverence for the customary law and comity of nations, or to understand those diplomatic usages which are practised by other states; '.t was i atiterefore, without surprise that we learned of. , a ftigrant viola. tion or the respect which is due to the British flag and arms in the Pontifical States. Within the last twelve or fourteen days, the domicile of Signor Ercole, the Secretary to the British Consulate at Rome, was invaded and forcibly entered by sbliri, in spite of the most energetic remostrances of his wife and family. The British Consul at Rome, as our readers are aware, is Mr. John Freeborn, formerly, aud we believe at present, carrying on the business of a banker at Rome, and who to our own knowledge has for more than twenty years been domiciled in the States of th e Church. Mr. Freeborn, during the last two years or more has been placed in circemstances of very great difficulty and responsibility, and we believe ail are agreed that in a trying time, and under very peculiar circumstances, he exercised his unpaid jurisdiction with very great humanity, at the risk of his personal ease and comfort. Of Mr. Free born, in his official capacity, Signor Ercole was the cuncelliere, or first clerk. As midi, on several oce casions during-the absence of the COsul, he has acted as pro-consul, and has been aplitioulOged by the authorities. On one particular gam . * 'he was re ceived by the Pontiff himself,;so that if the idlest of, all idle things to suppose that *is-character, and functions were not known. Indeed, during the lite disturbances, Signor Ercole causesl the British arms to be placed over his residence, and his diploma as cancelliere to be hung up id his ball. On the 17th of this month, however, notwithstanding these facts —when Signor Ercole was absent from home—a •police agent, with four carabiniers, knocked at the door, and, notwithstanding the protestation of the wife and daughter, that the domicile violated was that of the cancelliere of the British consulate, forcibly en tered, stating that they did so by'order of the Papal Government. The Capo sbirro and his officers re mained in the house all night, and'at five in the morn ing the Judge Mariani, one of the Cardinal Vicar's lieutenants, made his appearanoie with ten sbirri, armed with bludgeons and pistels, and proceeded to examine the premises: The draavers, presses, and cupboards were all searched, but htemyrmidons of his Holiness not Stull:win:ly B.iblessuasiffes eat disap. sitemooned tilOPPe s t • • • iff ear ii a liWriarta i ros ia rasr liffeatavu• - - _. - conceived this would be an acknoWledgment 1;t the Vicar's jurisdiction. On the 19th Mr. Freeborn; who had drawn up a statement of the facts, dispatched a note to the Cardinal Secretary, requiring an expla nation, and inquiring whether the conduct of the police was approved by the Papal Government ? To this letter, however, no answer had been returned on the 20th, the day of the latest letters from Rome. Papal perquisitions did not, it appears, end with the British consulate. The premis es of the English Chapel Committee at Rome, as well as the house of Signor Sartori, casfode of thst eh's:wet and keeper of pew-rents, were also searched, and some of his books and papers confiscated. It appears that Mr. Petro, the English Roman Catholic unauthoriSed diplomatic agent at Rome, when applied to to interfere, declined on the ground that Signor Sartori was a Roman subject, though it is well known that he was residing, and that the perquisitions were actually made, in the house of Mr. nay, late Secretary for the Colonial. Department, some of whose books were confiscated. This is one of the inconveniences of havin'g Roman Catholic em ployes in states in which the religion 'is Roman Ca tholic. We have lately seen the conduct of Mr. More O'Ferrall at Malta, and the conduct of Mr. Petre at Rome forms a worthy pendant to it. The reader will have collected from our _statement that the object of these Papal perquisitions was merely to obtain Pro. testant Bibles. With the free circulation of the Bible the Papacy is an impossibility, and therefore the Pope, his cardinals, and his sbirri are determined to make the book a sealed book 'as long as they can. But, notwithstanding all their efforts, brath is 'pene trating, and the day of darkness drawing 'to a close. We do not deny the right of the Papal Govern-. latent or police to enter a consulate 'to obtain proofs of a conspiracy, or to apprehend conspirators. But it is new to us that Papal sbirri have the right of violating a British functionary's domicile to seize the book containing the Word of God. It may be conceded -that the Pontifical dogana has the right to seize or to refuse entry to Protestant Bibles into Rome commerce or of sale. But widely right is the violating domi afrrtoimcle this of domi cile to seize a book which every Englishman consi ders a part of himself.and of his household. We shall be, cur ious to see the manner in which Viscount Palmerston wi ll take up this q uestion. We know differentlsn from St. Real how Louis XIV. avenged the indig nity offered to his Crown and nation by Innocent IX. sending sbirri into the Palazzo Farnese, the residence of the Duke d'Estrees, ambassador of France. Whe ther the author of the "New Whig G u id e " w ill in dignantly send such an armed cortege , to the Vatican as was sent by the order of the Grand Monarque, headed by Beaumanoir, Marquis de Lavardin, re mains to be proved. Beaumanoir was accompanied by 400 gardes de la marine, all armed to the teeth. But, though we may send no marines, we trust a sharp missive may wend its way to Rome, anything that the statutes of Premunire may say to the con trary. We can directly communicate with Mr. Petre and the Embassy at Florence, if we cannot communicate directly, by law, with the Pope or his Government. C ErR,ONICLE.—Lord Ashley has given notice that he will this evening bring before the House of Commons " the question of the total cessation of Sun day Labour in the Post -offices of the United King dom." We hope that he has well thought out this somewhat difficult subject, both in its principles and in its practical details, a nd that he is thoroughly pre pared to do justice to his own views respecting it. For, although we su s p ect ' that the a g itation which has lately been going ae: , v vith refer ence to this mat ter is to some extent factitious and " got up," there can be no doubt that it is also, to a considerable de gree, the genuine expression of feelings that are en titlel to sincere respect; and it is consequently very desirable that it should find a judicious and effi cient Parliamentary exponent—that it should lose nothing for want of advocacy—and that it should be met • and defeated exclusively on its real merits. We are the more solicitous on this point because the object of Lerd Ashley's motion is other wise in extreme danger of being fatally damaged by considerations altogether extrinsic to its actual purport. The preseut movement fur applying the ultra-Sabbatarian principle to the organization of our Post-office system had, it must be owned, a somewhat questionable commencement. There is no denying that it originated in a blunder, and that it has to a large extent been sustained and fostered by misrepresentae tions, of which charity compels us to hope that they were not wilful.

Yeates . bling-of tlakicitemyaitteal Mr. Ciardwon in the cnair;—"Zur. - LaMar, wa g in a speech of sonae"hours' duration on behalf of the ex isting City gas companies, proceeded to animadvert , on the vast amount of artificial excitement that had I been occasioned in the City by what he designated as the elaborate and skilful agitation of a new and em pirical imposture, promoted in the name of economy, and under the disguise of a cry for cheap gas, while,' in reality, the promoters proposed nothing more than what was now done by the established companies. Practically speaking, and on their own showing, the promoters of the measure had asserted their inde pendence of Parliament, and were, in reality, doing that which they a'ked Parliament to enable them to do. They had incorporated themselves by registra tion, had constructed their share list, and constructed their works, had purchased land, and got the consent of the Commissioners of Sewers to lay down their mains and pipes, and were nearly in a working con dition for the manufacture of gas, the supply of which might be said to be impending. All they wanted, and which alone an Act of Parliament could give them, was compulsory power over property and limited responsibility, though this latter had been provided for in the company's deed of settlement. What was the financial con dition of the proposed company ? The ac tual amount paid up out of the 150,0001., and half of which was called up, was only 34,0001. Out of the 8,900 shares, between 2,000 and 3,000 consisted of contractors' and contingdnt shares, and though the last call was due on the 28th instant, nothing had been said as to the net receipt that had accrued from it. He believed that the Bill was introduced with the view of making an union with the old City com panies. In the case of the City gas companies it was a striking fact that they had reduced their original charge of. 15s. per 1,000 cubic feet, successively, to 7s , 65., 55., and now to 43. They had never at tempted to raise it, and he was now instructed, on the part of the old companies, to proffer that the price should be reduced to 45., 3s. 6d., and 35., when their profits enabled them to pay a dividend of ten per cent. Besides this, there existed checks and securities for a continuance of their good behaviour. On the expiration of the contract for lighting the public lights it was in the power of the Commissioners of Sewers to lay down pipes, and let other companies in bor dering on the City. The existence, moreover, of the City of London Gaslight Company expired altogether in 1863, and as they would have to come to Parlia ment 4or a renewal of their powers, it was not likely they would forfeit their pledge. He concluded by calling on the Committee to negative the preamble of the Bill. The Committee then adjourned. :se MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE AT MORECAMBE BAY. Several families resident in Manchester have been thrown into great distress by the tidings of a m o st painful and fatal occurrence at Morecambe Bay. The whole of the details have not yet reached the relatives of the sufferers, but the following general particulars may be relied upon :—A large party of ladies and gentlemen had left Manchester to spend the Whitsun tide holidays at a watering place in the neighbourhood of Morecambe Bay ; and on Friday morning a boat ing party was formed to cross the water from Silver dale to Grange, consisting of five gentlemen, five ladies, and two men servants. The name of the ladies I have not ascertained ; but the gentlemen were Mr. John Morris, solicitor, Manchester ; Mr. North, land and building agent, and Mr. North, j un., his son ; Mr. Alfred Coates (son of Mr. Coates, late cotton merchant, Ind now resident in Plymouth-grove), and Mr. Porter, also of Manchester. In the afternoon, Mr. Morris and Mr. North, sen., returned with the ladies to SR verdalo, crossing the sands at low water in a car, but the gentlemen determined to wait till the tide served in the evening, and recross the bay in the boat. It would be high water at eleven o'clock, and it is sup posed that the gentlemen attempted to cross the water At that time. Their friends, however, at Silverdale remained in painful suspense till the following morn ing, without tidings of them, and at daylight intelli gence was brought them of the boat having been found capsized on the sands, with the dead bodies of Mr. Coate., Mr. North , jun., and Mr. Porter lying near it. It is said there were also two other bodies found. MILITARY SAVINGS rite total amount of the fund for Military Savings Banks, up to 14th March, 1850, for cavalry, infantr.; , and ordnance corps, was 99,6661.

Confessedly, the regulations in question have worked most satisfac • torily—completely negativing the apprehensions of those who so hotly opposed them ; and it is but fair to presume that, as the present agitation is, in point of fact the offspring of a false alarm, we should never have heard of it if its promoters were as clear- headed as they doubtless are sincere. Still, we would not lay undue stress on this circumstance, which is, after all, foreign to the merits of the question. The pro posal of a " total cessation of Sunday labour in the Post-offices of the United Kingdom," is logically, though not historically, entirely distinct from the agitation against the recent arrangements for dimi nishing that description of labour; and we much prefer discussing the principle of this motion to criticising the mistakes of its advocates. The most obvious objection that presents itself to this project is, that without some extensive change in our Post-office arrangements, it will involve, practically speaking, not one " blank" day in every week, but two —an extremely awk ward consequence which seems to have hitherto at'racted very little attention. As the existing re gulations respecting the observance of the Sunday in the metropolitan Post-office deprive every country town of a Saturday evening's dispatch and a Mon day's morning delivery of London letters, the effect of enforcing similar regulations on provincial offices would, of course, be to deprive. the Londoner of his 1 Saturday evening's dispatch and his Monday morn ing's delivery of country . lettere. Tnere would thus be two consecutive days in each week—or 104 days out of the 365—during which the postal communica tions of every town would be completely stopped up. As an example of the working of such a system—a letter for London, posted in Manchester, Bristol, or Hull, on the Friday afternoon, could not bring an answer until the Monday evening following. Or, in the case of towns having only one London mail in ' the twenty-four hours, a Londoner, having urgent occasion after post time on Friday to communicate with a country correspondent, would not be able to get his letter off before the evening of the ensuing Monday. To propose this would simply be to pro pose that the whole business of the United Kingdom shall be thrown into confusion ; and though we have heard a good deal said in this controversy about some "principle" which is to supersede all regard for what is contemptuously called " expediency," we will ven ture to say that nine-tenths of the signers of Sebba tarian petitions really mean nothing of the sort, and would stand aghast at such an application of their doctrine. Either they have never seriously consi dered the obvious consequences of their own proposal, or they contemplate some ingenious re-arrangement of the mails by which this intolerable inconvenience would be obviated. Such a scheme has, in fact, been hinted at in various quarters, and perhaps we shall this evening hear it formally explained and advocated by Lord Ashley. It is a favourite notion with some, that the duty of abstaining from all secular pursuits on the Sunday ought to be construed with that rigid and narrow literality with which ordinary minds love to interpret obligations which they feel to be disagree able. Accordingly they would have the suspension of Post-office labour to take effect for the precise twenty-four hours intervening between midnight and midnight—no'more and no less. Mails are to be made up (if we understand the plan rightly) the very last thing on Saturday, and to be dispatched the very first thing on Monday. In other words, Post office clerks, sorters, and other functionaries are to work up to twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and to be ready to begin again the moment the clock strikes twelve on Sunday night. In this way, it is imagined, all very serious mischief may be pre vented—as letters posted in London before midnight on Saturday would reach their destination (say) in Liverpool before the commencement of business hours on Monday, and vice versa ; and thus the Sunday might be made an absolute dies non throughout the Post-offices of the United Kingdom, without any further inconvenience than that loss of one day per week to which habit has long since familiarized Lon doners. It strikes us, however, that this device is more ingenious than satisfactory, even in a mere theo logical point of view. Passing over the practical objections to such an arrangement which will at once occur to practical men, on the grounds of increased cost and complexity, we content ourselves with re , marking that we should still be as &r as eyer—itr.el of the Sunday. A mo re complete sacriKce of the spirit to the letter, and of the reality to the form, could not well be ima gined. To work your clerks and sorters up to twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and then to make them begin again at a minute past twelve on Monday morning, has very much the appearance of a very cunning scheme for shortening the Sacred Day at both ends. The men would go tired to bad on the Sunday morning, and lie late—and again they would want a good nap towards evening to put them in trim for their night's duties. In fact, the scheme in ques tion would be merely a device for taking two nights out of the one period of twenty-four hours—a mode of honouring the Day of Rest which savours much more of pious fraud than of a rational Christian piety. The truth is, as we have had occasion to re mark more than once already in this controversy, the whole question of suspending the machinery of civil and secular life on the Sunday is, and must be, one not of dogma and abstract principle, but of degree, circumstance, and compromise. It is treated as such, practically and theoretically, by the ultra Sabbatarians themselves. Even they draw the line at " necessity" and " mercy"—words which every man must interpret far himself according to the best of his own judgment and conscience, and which no two men will at all times construe exactly alike. " Principle" there neither is nor can be in ' such a matter, if by " principle" you mean a rigid, unbending rule. The only p rinci p le really appli cable to the case is a sincere and habitual desire to realise all the religious, s ocial, and moral bene fits of the weekly Christian festival by a judi cious and discriminating retrenchment of all labour that can be dispensed with. This is the principle on which society is, in this country, more and more dis p )sed to act ; and we earnestly trust that the whole some reform which is taking place in this respect among all classes will not he checked by the reaction which, as all experience shows, ensues on exagge rated and fantastic attempts to overstrain the lines of religious and moral obligation. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, MAY 22.—The last week has been singu larly barren of intelligence. On Saturday last her Majesty's ships Vengeance and Howe were towed out of harbour by the Terrible steam-frigate and sailed on their route for England, the crews of the ships in port cheering them as they left, and bidding them a hearty " God speed," which was cordially responded to by their homeward-bound friends. The men of the 44th and 69th Regiments, who availed themselves of the amalgamation of the reserve with the Ist bat talion, or were dismissed the service, went home in the ships of the line. The Terrible afterwards returned to port, and towed into an offing the Tunisian brig-of-war Naser, which arrived on the 12th instant with the unfortu nate Hungarian and Polish refugees, who were wrecked off the Galabia bank on their passage to Belgium. Her Majesty's ship Superb, Captain Purcell, reached port in safety on the 12th instant. The Antelope steamer arrived on the 17th instant from Palermo and Leghorn. The Bosphorus screw-steamer left port on Mon day for London. She had on board lgajor Sir E. Thomas, 69th, who has lately sent in his papers to sell out. The homeward India mail is expected to-morrow. A few days ago , wh ilst carousing on shore, Wil liam Knight, a marine belonging to her Majesty's ship Powerful, was arrested on a charge of having deserted seven years ago from the 44th Regiment. Yesterday he was brought to a court-martial, Lieu tenant• Colonel Paxton, 69th, president, and found • guilty on most conclusive evidence. The sentence • has not been promulgated up to this moment, post hour. PORTSMOUTIT, WEDNESDAY. - The Odin steam frigate, 12, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Mediterranean, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief , She sailed from Athens May 1 ; Malta, Bth ; Algiers, 12th ; Gibraltar, 17th ; Tangiers, 17th P.M. ; and Lisbon, 25th. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron arrived at Malta on the 11th instant. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, arrived at Lisbon at the same time as the Odin, bound also for England ; but Commodore Martin detained her, to return to Gib raltar for provisions for his squadron of evolution, The Odin brought 123 invalids and supernumeraries f ro m both squadrons, Lieutenant St. John, of the ...... , ,,?-t--- - "' 60th Rifles invalid 41 from India, and Lieutena nt Tyler, of the Scourge, p:ssengers. She was inspected this afternoon by the Commander-in Chief, and will come into harbour tomorrow to be paid off, all standing, to join the steam reserve at this port. An Admiralty order has arrived at Portsmouth to have a butt constructed of old boiler-plates, of the thickness and strength of the Simoom's side, on pur pose for the Excellent, gunnery-ship, to practice at, to test the effect of shot and shell on the iron plates and rivets. We, however, incline to think there will be but little good or information derived from this practice. A real vessel would be the proper test ; for we imagine that the opposite side of the ship from that fired at would be the worst injured. A half spent ball passing out would do a vast deal more in jury to the iron plates than the side on which the shot entered. Such a vessel as the iron brig Recruit, sold out of the service fur a mere song, would have been just the vessel to have experimented on. The Fire Queen, a useless vessel, might be put to that use; but her plates and sides are scarcely strong enough for the purpose. however, the present trial, as ordered, will be scarcely any test as to the effect of shot on steam-vessels.—Herald. The Blonde, old 42, is ordered to be fitted as a re ceiving hulk, similar to the Topaze,in this harbour. The new steam-frigate Termagant, 24, bent a Ills yesterday, and hoisted the pendant this morning for her trial in the Channel. She will sail on Friday. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, MAY 29.—Captain William James Hope Johnston (1823), to command the Albion, 90, commissioned this day at Devonport. Paymaster and Purser George Thorn (1801) to the Albion. Assistant-Surgeons John Ternan (1841), and R. D. Pritchard (1841), to the Centaur steam-frigate, on the coast of Africa ; W. F. Noott (1845), to the Vic tory flag-ship, at Portsmouth, where he has been borne as additional Assistant-Surgcon since the 12th of September, 1849. Rear-Admiral Maurice Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 8.. one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, visited Woolwich dockyard shortly after 12 o'clock to day, and were accompanied by Mr. Lang, Master- Shipwright, when inspecting the engines of the Re tribution steam-frigate, and the engines of the Des perate and Buzzard steam-sloops, making ready at this port as advanced war-steamers. The Horatio, 24, steam-guard-ship, fitted with en• gines of 200-horse power by Seaward and Co., is or dered to be brought down to Woolwich to-morrow from Messrs. Seaward's establishment at the City Canal. The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander Bradshaw, arrived at Woolwich this afternoon to em bark two companies of Royal Artillery, one for Hali fax, Nova Scotia, and the other for Canada. She will also embark a company of Royal Sappers and Miners for Halifax. ~~*J [PRICE SD. THE ARMY.

DUBLIN, MAY 29.—Major-General his Royal Highn-ss Prince George of Cambridge, K.G., having proceeded to England on leave of absence, the troops in the garrison of Dublin and Dublin district are to report to head-quarters during his Royal Highness's absence. Major• General Turner having proceeded to England on leave of absence, tee command of the troops serving in the Cork district has devolved upon Colonel Beresford, assistant-adjutant-general, the next senior officer. His Grace the Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to approve of Captain James H. C.

The Tweed and Cormorant sailed from Rio on March 27, to cruise for slavers. The Spider sailed for the River Plate, with the mails, on March 23 ; and the Kestrel arrived thence on the 4th, and sailed on a cruise to keep her crew in health. Yellow fever is reported to have still raged vio lently at Rio ; it was computed that from the com mencement at least 12,000 persons had perished through its ravages. Several vessels lying there had lost two-thirds of their crews, and many their masters. The slave-trade appears to be on the in crease, the value of slaves having been greatly enhanced by the many deaths which had occurred. Traffic was generally suspended, and many of the stores were shut up and the merchants had left with their families for the mountains to avoid fever. Part of the French expedition to the River I arrived at Rio on their way thither on April 1. At Bahia the fever was much better, and the little that remained was chiefly among the shipping. Little business doing. At Pernambuco the fever had been raging vio lently—about 4,000 deaths, but was on the decrease. The Men, Birker master, has arrived off here from Port Philip, and landed a mail. The Argentyn, Sanstrom, has arrived this morning, from Buenos Ayres, March 18. No political news. DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM SHIP ATLANTIC FOR NEW YORK. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, under the command of Captain West, sailed for New York this forenoon. She takes out about 70 passengers, but the mail by her is light in the extreme. As it was the first return trip of this noble ship, and her presence in the Mersey had excited considerable . interest, immense numbers flocked to all parts of the piers to witnass her departure, as she steamed down the river. About half-past eleven her anchors wero weighed, steam applied to her engines, and off this splendid floating palace went. No sooner did she begin to move, than the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Canada hoisted the stars and stripes at her foremast head. The Atlantic had the union jack flying at the fore, and the American ensign at the main. She was saluted in gallant style by the Canada, and an immense quantity of powder was consumed, each steamer firing about thirty rounds. The steam tender Satellite, belonging to the British and North American line of boats, steamed up the river and round the Atlantic, firing two salutes as she passed, which were returned by the . Atlantic. The Atlantic by this mode was opposite the Albert Docks, moving on . at a rate rate down the river, and when she arrived opposite Seacombe two salutes were fired from the shore. An immense concourse of people had by this time crowded on the Prince's.. pier. Having passed along the whole line of docks, the Atlantic then took the course of the Formby Chan nel, and in a short time was lost sight of, leaving all the spectators who viewed her departure to indulge in speculations as to the probable length of time she will take to make the voyage to New York. Bets have been made that she will land the mail and passen gers at New York by noon on Monday, the 10th proximo. Time alone will tell, but it is expected that the Canada's news, which will leave this on Sa turday forenoon, will, by means of the telegraph from Halifax, be first published at New York. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Extraordinary Care of Rheu matic Fever by Holloway's Pills in Van Diemen's Land. — Margaret M'Connigan, nineteen years of age, residing at New town, had been suffering from a violent rheumatic fever for upwards of two months, which had entirely deprived her of the use of her limbs. During this period she was u nder the care of the most eminent medical men in Hobart Town,iled and by them her case was cons idered ho p eless.

CIIESTER AND NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—We un derstand that Mr. Justice Cress W 1 bas appointed his mar shal to succeed the late Mr. E. W. Lloyd, as clerk of Assize for this circuit ; the appointment is vested in the senior judge who last went the circuit before the vacancy arose.

I Chester Cattraxt. HIGH PRICE OF BEER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sru,—The poweiful aid of the Press has beecn al ready invoked ;wird the upset of a monopoly which maintains the present price of beer, so affecting the interests of the labouring class, especially anchor. smiths, coal porters, navvies, and labourers. Beer is as essential to the labouring man as bread ; it is not even a luxury to him, but, next to bread and meat, when he can get it, is his stable sustenance. The present price, combined with reduced wages, prevents him from procuring even that quantity which is essential to his support, while the incentive to adulteration held out to the publicans, by high prices, deteriorates the quality even " of that which he bath." The question of the " ability of brewers and plant (which they resist) to contribute towards the relief of the poor," whether properly or im properly, contended for by Mr. Paine, as surveyor, matters little ; but, whether by design or accident, as this contest has been the means of bringing the subject about, I most unhesitatingly assert that "real ability to contribute" is best shown by the prices of malt being reduced from 87s. to 50s. per quarter. Some firms brew 115,000 quarters of malt in the year, while the best actual contribution to wards " the relief of the poor" would be to let the poor participate, by a corresponding reduction of that commodity, which is the prcduce of, and actual "sweat of their brow," and not, by the maintenance of present prices, virtually infringe on the old maxim, and to continue to " Rob the poor man of his beer." Present price is, I know, fortified by heavy mono poly; those who sustain it is the keep, say of 120 horses, must also find an item of profit of consider able amount, arising from the present price of corn and hay. The monopolists are, generally, both brewers, bankers, and Quakers, in short, Mark-lace and Lombard-street combined. Publicans, in conse quence of the accommodation system, are, in general, under their thumb, and dare not speak, and so la bour, as the slave of old, is held in bondage ; and, in the words of the immortal Cowper, their op pressors " Share in the plunder, so pity the man." Without your co-operation and support we feel, Sir, that our cause is in jeopardy ; therefore, in sup plication, we implore your all-controlling influence on our behalf, to maintain the relative proportion of prices among all other things, but especially for, Sir, your, at present oppressed, " SW EETW 0 RT." 27th May, 1850. THE NELSON COLUMN. TO TUE EDITOR OF TUB MORNING POST. Sir,—Being in London for a few days, I see with pleasure the column in Trafalgar-square bearing the statue of my old Admiral (Nelson) has received some additional ornaments. But oh, Sir, what a pity the four lions are not to adorn the base! Want of money, lam told, is the cause. That, surely, cannot be, for I am certain that a penny a head from every body who wished it done would raise the money in a month. Only let some jack-tar be paid for receiving the daily subscriptions of passers-by, and I will send 51. in pence directly. Being, Sir, your daily reader, AN OFFICER ON HALF-PAT. Army and Navy Club, May 27, 1850. PROFESSOR FARADAY'S LEC TURES ON DOMES [IC CHEMISTRY. The subject of Professor Faraday's lecture at the !loyal Institution, un Saturday, was the philosophy f a kettle. lie said, that having in the last lecture sticed the circulation of the air produced by the .at of a fire, it must be borne in mind that the same pension by heat taken place in liquid bodies. To Ike this perceptible he heated a portion of liquid a glass vessel, the lower part of the liquid being coloured to distinguish it, when the coloured fluid was seen to rise in a connecting tube. On applying the flame of a spirit lamp to the bottom of a glass vessel con taining water, minute bubbles were quickly seen to rise, which, after expanding for the height of an inch or two, contracted by means of the lower temperature of the upper stratum of water, and the bubble that rose to the top was scarcely perceptible. By the continued application of heat, however, the steam of which the lower bubbles are composed became less and less condensed, and when the temperature had been raised to the boiling point, the elastic vapour reached the top in a continued succession of large bubbles, producing the phenomenon of boiling. Even when water that is only warns is placed under the exhausted receiver of an air-pump, the removal of the preisure of the atmosphere gives the steam such additional elasticity that the fluid will boil. This experiiinent was exhibited; also the phenomenon of ebullition in a less violent degree, when water perfectly cold is employed ; the bubbles, however, in the latter case are not those of steam, but of the air which all water contains. The " singing" of a kettle is to be attri buted to the evolution of these bubbles of air. The great importance of the constant presence of air in water was forcibly pointed out. The bubbles of air operate, as Professor Faraday described it, like minute wedges in separating the particles of water from each other, otherwise the mass of fluid would adhere, and could not be separated without a much higher degree of heat than is 7:quisite for hnilinir in nrainayv eirpnynapinna. 7t leas been tinent that water from which air has been caretulty abstracted may be heated to a temperature of 270 degrees, without boiling, but when it has been heated above that point it explodes with great violence. A. bent tube containing, water from which the air had been extracted was exhibited to show the adhesion of the fluid. The water in this case did not find its level, for when the tube was inverted one arm of it remained full whilst the other was nearly empty, and it required a smart blow on the table to bring the water in the two tubes to a level. By carefully abstracting air from mercury, it may be made in the same manner to :tend in a perpen dicular tube far above the height that it can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere alone. When a smooth metallic vessel is strongly heated, water and other liquids poured into them assume a spheroidal shape, and do not touch the heated vessel ; consequently they do not become so hat as when pour'ed on to a metallic body less highly heated. This fact was illustrated in a remarkable manner by several experiments. A small rod of heated silver was immersed in a glass of water without in the first instance producing any ebullition, and it was not till the silver had become partially cooled that steam issued. In another illustration of the same phenomenon water and iodine were placed in sepa rate highly-heated platinum .dishes, and so long as the heat was maintained the water and the iodine were seen to have assumed a spheroidal form, and danced about without emitting any visible steam or vapour, but as soon as the heat was diminished the water flished into steam and the iodine was dissipated in violet-coloured vapour. Professor Faraday stated that we are indebted to M. Boutigny, the French chemist, for these curious illustrations of the effects of bodies assuming a spheroidal form, and he had suc ceeded by a different m odification of the experiment in freezing water and even mercury in a red hot kettles and There wer e on the lecture table , numerous specimensn s atheonencrustation fotrne encrustation"fur " on k ottfl a s t e am- bailer the dep osit was one or two inches thick. The effect of suc h a linin g is to obstruct the passage d Io of heat, consequently to increase the quantity of coal requisite for working the engine. Iu the case of one of her Mejesty's steam-ships, the boilers were so foul that all the coal for the voyage had been consumed, and the engineers were obliged to use the ship's spars, end all available timber, to bring the vessel up the river. The crust formed arises in most cases from the deposition of lime from the water, and an ingenious plan has been discovered for readily removing it. By putting muriate of ammo nia ('al ammoniac) into the kettle or boiler, the muriatic acid enters into combination with the car bonate of lime, and forms a soluble compound, and by this means the foulest boiler cr kettle may be rendered perfectly free from encrustation. Professor Faraday said he should, in his next lecture, conclude_ the present course with the appropriate sill ject of 0 ashes."
