TEN YEARS IN INDIA; OR, THE LIFE QF A YOUNG OFFICER. By CAPTAIN ALBERT HERVEY.--1 We have met with very few works which deserve more consideration than Captain Hervey's very agreeable volumes. He has aimed at three objects—to instruct, advise, and amuse—and in each respect he has succee fed. The book will be welcomed by all who have any connexion with India; it will form a m-mnual for continued reference and consultation. The chiet object, however, is confined to military pursuits, and here the young officer will obtain many hints that will put him on his guard against imposition, and prepare him for various circumstances in which he would find himself at fault, had he not had the opportunity of profiting by the experience of a high-minded and intelligent officer, who had gone over the ground before him. We have little doubt but that the narra tive of these Ten Years in India' will have a wide circula tion in this country, and that it will be sought after, and much prized in each of the three great Presidencies."—Bell's Messenger. The belief that guardian spirits hover around the paths of men covers a mighty truth ; for every beautiful, and pure, and good thought which the heart holds, is an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul.—Eliza Cook's Journal. A GIRL KILLED BY HER SLiTEßS.—Yesterday an Investigation took place before Mr. Bedford, the Westminster coroner, in the board-room of St. James's Workhouse, respecting the death of Elizabeth Coleman, aged 13 years, who died from the effects of violsnt ill-usage inflicted by two sisters of deceased, Margaret Robinson, aged 20, and Johanna Coleman, aged Is, who are in custody, and re manded by Mr. Hardwick, at the Marlborough Police-court, to await the result of the present inquiry. It appeared from the evidence of two respectable females, named j sq u u n a e r , e, tb th e at de o e n ene t e h d e v, a ,a f e tern in o e o t n i o n f H S e a p tu k r i d n a e Mitchell and Dohe r ty, li v i ng i n Hopkins-street, Golden -ye, t re t h e t by e 2 9th he o r f sister, Margaret Robinson, the wife of a sweep, who charged deceased with h av i ng sto l en one of her -dresses. Deceased stoutly denied it, when Robinson seized hold of deceased by the hair of her head, and, after striking her repeatedly about the face with her fist, she - dashed her b head with great violence against the wall, and whilst she lay on the ground in a senseless state she kicked her over the left ear, which instantly became swollen. The bystanders res cued the deceased from her sister's ill-treatment, and in about ten minutes afterwards, whilst she was sitting on the step of the door crying bitterly, Johanna Coleman, the other sister, came up, and without any provocation she struck the , deceased a tremendous blow with her closed fist in the eye, which completely blackened it. Deceased continued to com plain of that part of the head where her sister had kicked her, until the following Wednesday, when she became so much worse that Mr. French, the parish surgeon, was called to her, and he had her removed to the infirmary;where she died on the 22d instant. Two abscesses haslformed, one over the left temporal muscle, and the other in the middle lobe of the brain, which was the cause of death. and in the opinion of the surgeon was produced by the violence above described. The jury returned a verdict of manslaugl:ter against Mar garet Robinson and Johanna Coleman, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. CORONERSHIP OF CHELTENHAM.—By the decease of Mr. John Cooke, of Gloucester, the important office of coroner for the Cheltenham upper division of Gloucestershire is rendered vacant. Mr. Cooke had attained the advanced age of 76, and had filled the office for thirty-three years, having been elected in 1617. Mr. Cooke had been incapa citated from the active discharge of the duties for the last two or three years, but they have been ably discharged by his deputies. Several candidates are in the geld.

On asking what they had done with the rest of the property, they denied all knowledge of it; but the owner of the house, who was standing by, im mediately delivered up the prosecutor's writing-desk and three coats belonging to him, which be said the priso ners hod given him to take care of. The remainder of the prisoners were subsequently discovered secreted under some arches in Commercial-street, and upon the persons of each of them, with only one exception, other portions of the booty were found. Neither of the prisoners attempted t 3 deny the charge, and the whole listened to the evidence against them with the most imperturbable hardihood. Mr. HAMMILL said that it was lamentable to witness such an exhibition of depravity by persons of such an age; but as the case had been clearly established against them ho should order the whole of them to be committed until that day week, with the exception of the boy Cardon, whom he was reluctant to send to prison on account of his extreme youth, and the prisoner Scrim), against whom the evidence was not of so conclusive a character. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, July 23. The commission for the county of Sussex was opened yesterday. There are twenty causes for trial on the civil side, three of which aro special jury cases. On the criminal side there are forty prisoners for trial. The Lord Chief Baron presided this morning on the Crown side, and Mr. Justice Erie at Nisi Prius. CROWN COURT.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) Mary Hardwick, a miserable-looking creature, was indicted for feloniously casting her child into the sea at Brighton, with intent co murder it. Mr. Creasy conducted the prosecution. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared from the testimony of two witnesses that on Saturday last the prisoner was seen by a man named March, standing with a child in her arms near the Cus tom-house at Brighton, and she suddenly ran down to the sea and threw the child into the water, and then jumped in herseif. March immediately ran into the water, and havine., fortunately succee d e d i n l a yi ng h o ld of the child, he brought ' it to the shore, end then went a second time into the water and brought out the woman. The child, it appeared, very soon recovered, but the pri soner was insensible, and it was a considerable time before she was restored to consciousness. A man was up )n the spot, who was represented to be the husband of the prisoner; and, according to the testimony of the witnesses, after the melancholy transa?,tion had taken place, he was very violent, and abused her, and ex pressed a desire that she should have destroyed herself. The poor woman during the trial appeared hardly to be aware of the character of the offence she was charged with, and she was evidently suffering most acutely. When she was called upon for her defence she ex pressed herself to be ignorant of what had happened. The jury found her Guilty, but recommended her to mercy, and judgment was deterred. SOUTHWARK. CHARGE OF ARSON.—George Arnott, the son of an extensive hair-manufacturer, iu the Grove, S puthwark, and David Welch, one of his workmen, were brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with setting fire to the premises of Mr. John Jefferys, iron -founder, and pro prietor of the Grove Iron Foundry, in the Grove, Great Guildford-street, Southwark. Mr. Jefferys stated that he loft his premises perfectly safe about ten o'clock on the previous night. There was at that time no fire lighted in the foundry. When he arrived on the following morning he discovered a quan tity of charred wood and burnt bhavings in the model room, and from the position in which they were placed he was astonished that the whole of the warehouse was not burnt down. The property in the warehouse con sisted of models, tools, and other property, valued at nearly 20,0001. He afterwards heard that the prisoners had been on the premises at the time the fire was disco vered, and from those circumstances he gave them into custody. Mr. ATECKETT —Have you any witness who can state that the prisoners were near the spot? Elizibeth Higgett was called by the prosecutor, and stated that a little after eleven o'clock on the previous night she went into the yard at the rear of Mr. Jefferys's premises, when she saw fl ames in the model-house. She instantly called her master, when the flames were rushing out of the factory windows. Mr. A'BEckErr —Were the flumes very high? Wit ness—Yes, sir, they were, and I was fearful that our house might catch fire. Mr. A'BECILETT—Did you see either of the prisoners in the place where the fire took place? Witness—Yes, I saw Arnott enter the model-house and throw pieces of wood on the fire rear the foundry. She then saw the other man there, when Arnott took the wood from the pile and threw it about the room. The prisoners here declared that they were on the premises, but merely to put the fire out. Mr. Daniel Eades, builder, in Ewer-street, Southwark, stated that his timber-yard was at the back of Mr. Jef ferya's premises. About - eleven o'clock on the previous night he saw a fire issuing from the foundry. He in stantly proceeded to the yard, and saw two men (whom he believed to be the prisoners) coming out of the foun dry. He hailed them, when they said they had merely put the fire out. WESTERN CIRCUIT. —Dorchester, July 22. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. GURNEY, - Q.C.) Charles Swyer was indicted for setting fire to a stack of hay, the property of Edward Head, at Troxwortb, on the 19th of March. Mr. Ffooks conducted the case for the prosecution. On the 19th of March the prisoner was at the relieving officer's at Blandford, and there he met a young man named Williams, who stated to him that he was going to Plymouth to look after work. The prisoner said he was going to Dorchester, and therefore they had better walk together. They proceeded on their road, and when they were tired they sat down under a rick. The prisoner drew from his pocket a match-box, and said, "I will set fire to the rick for a lark," and he actually did so, and then he walked away, and the rick was entirely burnt. The prisoner went on and was followed by Williams, who told the first persons he met what had been done; and the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. The only reason for mentioning this case is to allude to one circumstance connected with it. When before the magistrates, Williams was not able to produce sureties for his appearance at the assizes to give evidence against the prisoner, and therefore he was committed to prison, where he has remained from the 19th of March to the 22d of July. This would appear rather cruel; at the same time, perhaps, no other mode could be adopted. It is, however, to be hoped that the poor fellow was treated with all the kindness a prison would permit. Mr. A ' BECKETT—Can you swear the prisoners are .hose men? Witness—l cannot. I did not see their MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NoWngliam, July 23. The Commission was opened this morning by Mr. Baron Platt, who arrived from Lincoln at ten o'clock. faces, or distinguish their faces. Edward Johnson, 63 M, said he was called by the last witness to go into the foundry. He saw a blaze, and called out who was there. Two persons called out, "We are putting out the fire." He asked them afterwards !Oat they did there, when they replied that they had been drying some moulds, which caused the flames. Witness then entered the premises, but the men had escaped. Alexander Frazer, clerk to the prosecutor, stated that he lived on the premises in the Grove. Mr. Jefferys left at ten o'clock, and after he was gone witness went over the factory, and found that all was safe. He then went to bed, and a little after eleven he was alarmed by cries of "Fire'," and on descending to the lower part of the house some person called out that some men had set fire to the foundry. Ile immediately went there, and found a quantity of frames and planks piled up, partially on fire. They were placed in such a manner that unless warning had been given, the whole place must have been burnt down. _ His Lordship, after attending Divine service, proceeded to try the town prisoners. The Lord Chief Justice re mains at Lincoln to try the last cause, which was was a feigned issue under the Tithe Commutation Act, de pending principally upon a question of law. The calendar fur the county contains the names of 27 prisoners, including several charged with serious offences; 2 with arson, 2 with cutting and wounding, 2 with man slaughter, and several with robberies and burglaries. On the Civil hide there will not be more than three or four causes to try. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) George Toms was indicted for manslaughter. Mr. W. H. Adams appeared for the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner, on the 23d April last, had been engaged in a fight with the deceased, Henry Flowers, in the Nottingham meadows, and that Flowers had been killed by a blow given by the prisoner. On the part of the prisoner the fight had been conducted with perfect fairness, and he had been greatly provoked by the deceased both before the fight commenced and during its continuance; until the last round the deceased appeared to have had the advantage, and was actually taunting the prisoner, and singing, " Meet me by moon light alone," when be received the blow which immedi ately knocked him down, and on the Thursday following occasioned his death. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. He bad been In custody about a month, and The Learned JurGE sentenced him to a further im prisonment of three days. Mr. ATECKETT—Can yen throw any light upon who set fire to the place ? Witness—l cannot ; but am sure no stranger could have done it. The fence is very high, and the only entrance is by Mr. Arnott's premises. There is a hole there which has been recently broken. Arnott here exclaimed that he lived in the adjoining premises, and was it likely that he should set fire to the prosecutor's place ? His father actually hired hot water from Mr. Jefferys, and his property was equally valuable. Squires, a constable of the M division, produced the charred wood, which Mr. Jefferys identified as portions of models, which had evidently been packed up by in cendiaries. It is quite clear that the entrance was from Mr. Arnott's premises. Arnott replied that they had been to the theatre, and after they had come home they saw a fire in Mr. Jefferys' foundry. They immediately jumped through the fence and put the fire out. NORTHERN CIRCUIT:—York, July 22. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CitEsswELL.) Julia Grady was indicted for feloniously stabbing James Owen, on the 2911 of April, at Hull. Mr. Digby Seymour was tor the prosecution; Mr. Dearsley appeared for the prisoner. The occurrence arose out of a " shindy" after an Irish funeral at Hull. Thu prisoner and some friends had returned from the cemetery where her deceased sister had be en buried on the day in question, and the prosecutor having gone to the window of her house, and made use of some insulting language, a disturbance took place, and in the course of a general scuff) ) the prisoner brought a large carving knife, with which she inflicted two severe wounds in the face of the prosecutor. Mr. DEARSLEY addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called a witness for the defence to disprove the charge. Mr. ATECHETT said he had heard sufficient to war rant his remanding them. They maid they were ex tinguishing the fire, but some of the witnesses proved otherwise, therefore he should remand them until Fri day next. LAMBETH. A BURGLAR SlloT.—Yesterday James Carpenter, a thick-set fellow, who refused to give any account of himself; and who bad been in custody since the morn ing of the 10th instant, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, on the following charge of burglary:— From the evidence adduced in this case it appeared that on the morning of the 10th instant, Mr. Thomas Joseph Green, a surgeon, residing in Ivy Cottage, High street, Peckham, was awoke at about three o'clock by hearing the voices of persons in the lower part of his house, and suspecting the party to be thieves, he armed himself with a loaded pi s t o l, aa d p roc eeded down stairs, He first went into the kitchen, where he found all right; but on going into the washhouse he, found everything in a state of confusion, and was convinced that there were thieves on the premises. He (Mr. Green) then drew the window-curtains on one side, and seeing two men outside, one standing on each side of the window, he fired the pistol, and saw th e ma n standing on the left hand side fall, and subsequently saw some blood where he had fallen. The prisoner and the wounded man, who, with his companion, effected their escape from the premises, were taken on the same morn ing in the Kent road, while the prisoner was holding the head of his companion, who was bleeding at the time from a wound in the neck. The constable who se cured them asked how the wound had been inflicted, and the prisoner said his friend had been shot from behind the hedge by some person they did not know. Joseph Brady, a constable, 100 P, deposed that on the night in question he saw the prisoner and the wounded man, whose name is Everett, and who is at present at Guy's Hospital, loitering about his beat, which is close to the residence of Mr. Green. Ho spoke to them about eleven o'clock, and told them that if they did not go about their business be should take them into custody. Witness was quite certain the prisoner and the man at the hospital were the persons he had spoken to. The servant-maid of the prosecutor said that on the night of the robbery she had bolted and made secure the kitchen and washhouse doers; but, on coming down on the following morning, she saw that two small panes of glass were taken out of the washhouse window, and these would enable a person from the outside to undo the bolts and fastenings of the door. She also found a basket belong ing to her mistress lying close to the place where there were marks of blood, and in it were several articles which had been removed from the washhouse. In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, the constables who have charge of the case said it was the opinion of the medical officer at Guy's Hospital that Everett would be sufficiently recovered to attend on that day week, and the prisoner, who declined saying anything in his defence, was remanded until Tuesday next. The, jury returned a verdict of Guilty of a common assault. John M'Gibbon, a merchant, residing at Hull, and for merly in partnership with W. Galbraith, was indicted for having forged and uttered u bill of exchange for 871., with intent to defraud Messrs. Raikes, Currie, and Co., banker►, in London. The prisoner was convicted on Saturday last of a similar offence, and there were now five other indictments against him for forging bills to the amount of 1,000/. Mr. OVEREND conducted the prosecution. Mr. DEARSLEY, who was counsel to the prisoner, said that he had advised the prisoner to withdraw his plea, and plead guilty. He had been requested by the prisoner, also, to withdraw an imputation which he had on a pre vious day thrown on Mr. Galbraitb,: , ormerly in partner ship with the prisoner, and to say that he was in no way connected with the forgeries. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to trans portation for 15 years. This terminated the criminal business. His Lordship then proceeded with some Nisi Prius eausec. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN and a Special Jury.) PEARSON V. PAIRBURN. This was an issue directed by the Lord Chancellor to ascertain whether, on the 11th of January last, there was a partnership subsisting between the plaintiff and the defendant. Mr. Martin, Q C., Mr. Atherton, and Mr. Sykes were for the plaintiff; Sir P. Thesiger (on a special retainer), Sir. Knowles, Q C., and Mr. Hugh Hill were for the defendant. The plaintiff, in 1837, proposed to the defendant, who was an overlooker in a factory, that they should go into partnership. They agreed to do so, and both jointly took a lease of Fairnley Mill, from Lord Dartmouth, for 21 years. The defendant found the capital for the ma chinery. He was to be paid 5 per cent. on his capital out of the profits, and the remainder was to be divided between them. The plaintiff was to receive 30a. a week, a cottage, and grass for a cow. The partnership con tinued till January, 1850, when the defendant gave the plaintiff notice of dissolution. For the plaintiff it was contended that the partnership was to last for the term for which Lord Dartmouth had granted the lease to the partners. For the defendant it was urged that the part nership was merely to subsist during the pleasure of the defendant. Several witnesses having been called, the case was by agreement settled. Tho defendant agreed to pay the plaintiff 3001. for his costs, 4001. in consideration of his interest in the part nership, and to give him an indemnity. Mr. Justice Wightman was occupied the remainder of the day with a water-course ease. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP -STREET. A GANG OF JUVENILE BURGLARS. —TweIve ragged and abandoned-looking young urchins, named David Cardun, John Smith, James Stevens, Jam es Sh i pley, George Wood, William Dudley, Thomas. Galloway, Thomas Burdett, George Evans, Thomas Williams, George Scriveo, and William Davis, the youngest of whom was only eight years of age, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Hammill, charged with having burgle riously broken into the premises of Mr. Morris Myers, a wholesale general merchant in Wentworth -street, White chapel, and stolen a mahogany writing desk, a quantity of sheeting and wearing a pparel, and various other mis cellaneous articles. It appeared in evidence, that at seven o'clock on the preceding evening the doors and windows of the ware house were properly secured by one of the prosecutor's servants, named Dickman, who was left in charge of the premises, on reaching which, at six oclock the next morning, it was discovered by one of the workmen that a portion of the glass and framework of a first-floor wiado v, communicating with one of the store-rooms, bad been shattered to pi e ces, leaving a sufficient aperture for the admission of the thieves, who had completely rau. sacked the place and carried off a considerable quantity of property. Information of the robbery was imme diately communicated to Sergeant Whiteford, of the H division, who in the course of his, inquiries received ic formation which induced him to proceed to a n o t or i ous haunt for young thieves, in P lou g h-street, Whi techapel, on entering which he found in a lower r oom the priso ners Dudley, Evans, an d Shipley, stooping over a st rong fire, on which was laced a large iron pot, containing a quantity of pewter, which they were in the act of melt ing down. One of the prosecutors servants, who ac companied the sergeant, at once identified the contents of the pot, which were efilY partially fused, as hi s master's property; and upon searching the room a quan tity of sheeting and brass-work was discovered, which was also recognised as a further portion of the plunder. The articles in question were secured by the sergeant, and conveyed with the prisoners to the f trAtiOn" I house; and he afterwards proceeded to another receptacle of the same description in Lower Keate-street, FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT BMSTOL. BRISTOL, JULY 23.—Yesterday evening a most an palling accident happened in our Floating Harbour, by which several lives have 'been sacrificed and a large number of persons seriously wounded. The facts of . this distressing occurrence,which has created the utmost excitement and consternation in the city, are as follow: For the last nine or ten months several small steamers have been placed in the floating harbour by different cptnpanies taking passengers to and fro between the Stone-bridge and the Hotwells, One of these, and the vessel to which the unfortunate accideneoccurred, was called the Red Rover; she was built at Waterford, and belonged to Mr. David Robertson Anderson; she was from 48 to 50 feet long, and 8/1 wide. At half-past eight o'clock yesterday evening she was lying off Raw ling's Wharf, waiting tai take up a number of passengers who had just arrived from Portishead in the Portishead packet. There were about fifty passengers on board, and several others were in the act of proceeding towards the Red Rover when a terrific explosion was heard, ac companied by fearful shrieks. An immense cloud of steam hung over the ill-fetid vessel for a few moments, and when it cleared allay a tire:Alai scene was pre stilted to vies. The ill-fated passengers bad been scattered in every direction, and a largo number were observed struggling in the water. Several wherries instantly rowed to the spot, and succeeded in picking up many of them. Flies were also imme diately procured, and the wounded persons as fast as possible conveyed to the Bristol Infirmary. Six b )(lies were taken out quite dead, their names are—lsaac West, a musician) Robert Posey, son of a mason; Henry Starr, a mariner; Samuel Jefferies, a horse keeper is the employ of Mr. Young, of Cli:ton; and two little girls, also named Jefferies. A large crowd collected and much confusion prevailed for some time, owing to the lamentations anGl shrieks of a large number of women present. In addition to the persons conveyed to the infir mary, several respectable gentlemen, who were much hurt, were conveyed to their private residences, prefer ring the services of their ordinary medical attendants. Some of these are also since dead; two more have died at the infirmary, and some serious operations have had to be undergone. Amon the severely injured were the captain and engineer and the stoker of the Red Rover. So loud was the explosion that it was not only heard at all parts of the basin, but at the dock-master's house, and at the nursery of Messrs. Garraway, Mayes, and Co., a distance of more than a mile. Portions of the boiler were thrown with such force that a large piece fell on the tiles of a house in Avon-crescent, another in Rawlings-yard, and a third piece was carried across the water, and fell in the yard of Mr. Bennett, contractor to the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The owner, Mr. Anderson, and his wife were on board at the time. Mrs. Anderson was in the cabin. and Mr. Anderson was standing at the en trance of the cabin stairr. He was knocked into the water, but retained sufficient presence of mind to pull Mrs. Anderson afterwards through the cabin window. and she escaped with the exception of an injury to her side. A servant of Mr. Venus had two children on board with her; one has been conveyed to the infirmary much injured, and the other is still missing. Mr. Hum page, surgeon, and his wi'e, had a narrow escape, as just before the accident they were going on board the Red Rover, but Mrs. Humpage said she would rather wait and go up in a boat that was not so crowded. The following are the names and the nature of the injuries of those who were conveyed to the Bristol Infirmary : Will.am Bailey, fracture of both legs. William Paddy, the captain of the steamer, both legs fractured—one so severely that, if he can bear it, it will he amputated. William Brewer, fracture of both legs. Francis Lucas, fractured leg. Charles Keating, son of Mr. Keating, chymist, Clifton; this young man is since dead. Eliza Pelford very severely scalded, Eliza Pelford, daughter of the above, also very severely scalded. Thomas Venn, severely scalded. Charlotte Eliza Hodge, severely scalded. Martha Hemmings, severely scalded. Mary Ann Dursden, both legs fractured. Samuel Edwards, severely scalded. Ellen Hodge, legs fractured. William Cooper, severely injured in the head and very severely scalded. W. Nichols, the engineer. This poor fellow is since dead. David Lewis, stoker, very severely scalded. Thomas White, leg fractured, Maria Haynes, contused forehead. There were taken to their own homes, as far as can be gathered,—Mr. A. N. Landon, builder, of Old Market street; ono leg fractured besides other severe injuries. John Langdon, his son; concussion of the brain. This case is considered hopeless. Mr. J. D. Weston, (son-in-law of Mr. Langdon), ironmonger, of Castle-street ; the bones of the face and temporal bona fractured, also very severely scalded. Mr. T. Penton, junior, clerk of the market, severely scalded and other wise bruised. The scene at the infirmary was for some hours a most distressing one ; the news of the accident soon spread, and the doors were perfectly besieged by per sons inquiring after missing relative 3. Every informa tion possible was afforded to allay their anx'ety. An inquest had been commenced on the dead bodies, but after evidence as to identity had been gone into it was adjourned until to-morrow. LITERAT URE. ADELAIDE LINDSAY. Edited by the Author of " Emilia Wyndham." 3 Vols. Few novels are better suited fir the circulating library at this season of the year than " Adelaide Lindsay." It may safely be denominated " a lady's book," and the very large class of gentle readers who, in the sea-side stroll or the country ramble, take a novel as a companion, cannot possibly find one better suited to their purpose than " Adelaide Lindsay." One of the greatest charms of these three volumes is the pure and graceful, but withal simple and homely style in which they are penned. Every-day trifles, that might seem unworthy of recording in a work of such pretension, are detailed with a minuteness which, if unnecessary, is still very delightful, because it im parts an air of reality to the whole history and to every separate portion of it. To young ladies the example of Adelaide will doubtless prove highly valu able, and it enfOrces a truth well worthy of practical attention, namely, that affection is unenduring un less it be accompanied with esteem. It would be unfair to reveal the secrets of the fair lady's his tory with which we have just been made so pleasantly acquainted. We commend the tale, as it is written in the volumes edited by Mrs. 11Lrsh, to the particu lar attention of the general reader, and of lady readers more especially. In addition to the history of the heroine, the story of Lady Kynaston, the unloving ife and the unjustly partial mother, is worthy of consideration, and is in some parts powerfully told. But power is not the prevailing characteristic of the work. The admirers of "Jane Eyre " had better not open its pages, unless, perhaps, for the sake of enjoy ing a contrast. The story itself, like the style in which it is told, is, although not deficient in the por trayal of intense emotions, chiefly characterised by naturalness, serenity, and gracefulness—excessive gracefulness. In fact, as we have already said, " Adelaide Lindsay " is a perfect " lady's book," and one of the most charming of that charming class. ADA GREVILLE ; or Woman's Constancy. By Peter Leicester, author of " Arthur of Brit tany," 6-c. 3 Vols. This is in reality what all novels are in name, a love-story; one of that old romantic class which has recently given place to more matter-of-fact romance. The wonderful history of the " constant" Ada re sembles the old legends of chivalry, when "Love was still the lord of all." Still' this love-story is not so attractive as its name might imply, seeing that the love to which it relates is of only a one-sided charac ter. The enthusiastic and warm-hearted Ada is at the opening of the tale an heiress. She loses her fortune, however, just at the moment of her lover's departure with his regiment from England. Judging his heart from her own, the reliant girl, never dreaming of the truth that the " beaux yeux de sa cassette," had been the real objects of at traction, follows him to India, and after perils and perplexities innumerable, at length overtakes the truant, to his utter amazement and her own, when she discovers her mistake. " All's well that ends well," however, and this melancholy meeting is not the conclusion of the tale. Yet, happy as that con clusion is, we are inclined to think that few young ladies of the nineteenth century would follow the example of Ada Greville, or deem Howard Smythe worthy of such a pilgrimage in his behalf. Having said thus much, it is unnecessary to say that the story of Ada is most interesting. Her character is beautifully drawn, and she never loses the dignity and delicacy of her sex, notwithstanding the extra ordinary and perhaps unwomanly manner in which she signalises her " woman's constancy." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. At a meeting of the Society of Arts, presided over yesterday by Lord Colborne, James Veitch, Esq., M.D., inspector of hospitals and fleets, received from his Lordship's hands the honorary testimonial of the society for his valuable invention of the medico-chirurgical am bulance, devoted to the preservation of the lives of the warriors wounded in the day of battle. Captain Richard Copeland (1838), whose decease we announced yesterday, had served in the navy afloat f 21 years. The following sketch of his career is from O'Byrne'a valuable biography:-" Richard Copeland, born March 5, 1792, is son of the late John Copeland, Esq., surgeon of the 7th Fusileer Guards, and staff sur geon to his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent when Governor of Nova Scotia. This gentleman, together with his wire and youngest son, was lost in the France, transport, off Sable Island, in December, 1799. This officer entered the navy, Jan. 1, 1805 (under the auspices of Queen Charlotte and Princess Augusta), as first-class volunteer, on board the Medusa, 36, Captain Sir John Gore; and on removing to the Revenge, 74, commanded by the same captain, and subsequently by Hon. Charles Paget, witnessed the capture of four Preach frigates by Sir Samuel Hood's squadron off Rochefort, Sept. 25, 1806; and was further present, in 1809, at the destruc tion of the French shipping in Basque Roads and the siege of Flushing. In September, 1810, he rejoined Sir John Gore, as midseipaeau, in ttie Tonnant, 80; and, after serving for some time with the British army in the 'l'agus, Red with Captain James Brisbane in the Belle Pou'e, 38, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, Di c. 11, 1811. From Feb. 11, 1812, until wrecked off the mouth of the Courantioe river, March 8, 1815, Mr. Copeland next served on b lard the Cygnet, 18, Captain Robert Ru.,sell; and being awarded a second promote! comm 63i01:1 June 13 following, was afterwards appointed, Sept. 7, 1825, and Feb. 4, 1830, to the command of the Mastiff abd Meteor, alias Beacon, surveying -vessels, en the Mediterranean station. While at Gibraltar on one oc casion he seized a notorious pirate; and, in 1834, he took captive, near Thasos, another famous marauder, Kara Mitz )s, with 160 of his men, all of whom were delivered over to the Greek Government. Being, however, libe rat,el without trial, these plunderers resumed their former atrocities with redoubled z_st, and, falling again into the hands of Captain Copeland, were sent to the Paella of Thessalonica, by whom they were executed. The subject of this sketch, who has beets on half-pay since February, 1836, was promoted to post rank, at the in stance of her Majesty, June 28th, 1838. He has pub lished An Introduction to the Practice of Nautical Sur veyieg, and the Construction of Sea Charts, &c.,' trans lated from the French of C. F. Beautems Beauptti, Hy drographer of the French Marine." Lieutenant Robert Ramsay (1815), the Government emigration agent at Londonderry, died at Braehead a few days since. He entered the navy in 1804, but had not served afloat since his promotion in 1815. Ia the Powerful he assisted as midshipman at the capture of the privateers, La Henriette, 20 guns and 124 men, and after a running fight of nearly two hours and with severe loss; La Bellona, 30 guns and 194 men. In the same ship he was present at the destruction at Griessee, island of Java, of the dockyard stores, men-uf-war, &c., and was also at the expedition to Walcheren. In the Unicorn, 32, he was at the capture, in April, 1810, of the French privateer Le Gascon, 16 guns and 113 men, and of L'Es perance (formerly her Majesty's 22, gun-ship Laurel) armee en flute. Lieutenant Charles George Guthrie, whose decease has been announced, was made a lieutenant only in Oc tober last, since which period he has not served. Archer screw-sloop, Commander Strange, which left Devonport on the 4th of May for the coast of Africa, sailed for Ascension June 11, on a cruise. Greenock iron screw• frigate has been taken out of deck at Devonport, and is to be trimmed to a draught of water of 13 I eet forward and 15 feet abaft, and tried round the Eddystone. Mr. Laurie, chief engineer at Chatham, is at Devonport looking after the Greenock. Philomel, 8, Commander T. G. Forbes, has already commenced prize making. On the sth ult. she captured a slaver with 300 on board, but out of the number nearly 200 died hefore she reached Ascension.

WOOLWICH, JULY 23.-The Retribution steam-frigate, formerly of 800-horse power, has now been made a much more efficient and sightly vessel since her paddle-boxes have been reduced to suit the paddle-wheels of her new engines of 400-horse power, by John Penn and Son.

The Teasel Was loaded to THAMES. Edward Jones, carrying on business as a coffee-shop and eating-house-keeper, at 174, Ratcliffe-highway, was finally examined, charged with intermarrying with Anne Pearce, his first wife, Elizabeth Jones, being then and now alive. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Oldershaw for the defence. The case had some - peculiar features in it. He mar ried his first wife in 1811, and left her with a numerous family, the youngest of whom, being 18 years of age, appeared in the cuurt against him. He subsequent'y married an intermediate wife since deceased, with whom the complainant Pearce was acquainted.' In a few months after that woman's death he induced Pearce to marry him, and they went on comfortably enough until the first wife and her daughter came to claim him as father and husband. In answer to Mr. YARDLEY, Pearce reluctantly ad mitted she bad led a loose life previously to her marriage with the prisoner, and that the coffee and eating-house which they kept was a place of resort for abandoned characters. Mr. YARDLEY said it was evident they were both very bad and abandoned characters. They were equally in famous. Pearce—Yes, your Worship; he keeps a place for de bauchery and plunder. _ _ Mr. YARDLEY—You are both alike; wretched speci• mens of humanity, and though your infamy cannot atter his offence, it may in some degree lessen his punishment. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. THE LATE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—It is under stood that the will of the late Duke of Cambridge was opened and read on Wednesday last. The property is stated to be divided into three portions among hi: three children—viz., the present duke and his twe sisters. In addition to other property, the sum of 5,0001. goes to the Duchess. The exe cutors are the Duke of Sutherland, Sir James Revnett, and Sir Henry Wheatley. The guardians of the Princess Mary are the Duchess, the present Duke, and the executors already named. The Princess Mary is but 16. By the grant of Parliament she will have 3,000/. per annum, as well as the one-third of tha personal estate by will. THE SABBATARTANS.--" What next ?" has often been asked, in the course of the present Post-office question. What will be the next move of the Sabbatarians? Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, is assisting us to answer the question. He is attempting to shut up Ben Nevis on the Sunday 1 This monarch of the Scottish mountains (which may . be seen depicted in the Newc .stle Exhibition, now open), is to be protected, if Mr. Campb e ll can h ave his own way, from the tread of man on the first day of the week. And thus would the Sabbatarian shut us ou t &cm - the green fields in which the founder of our religion walked on the Sabbath-day.— Gateshead Observer. EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD. The village of Woodham Walter, in Essex, presents a melancholy scene of devastation, occasioned by torrents of rain which fell in the afternoon of Wednesday last. Toe street is situated at the foot of two hills, a brook running between the cottages of Harris, a blacksmith, and Davis, a labourer. About half-past four o'clock remarkably dense clouds were observed meting from opposite points, and, suddenly forming a junction, ap peared to assume a circular motion, which was imme diately followed by a discharge of their contents, accom panied with a hurricane, vivid flashes of lightning, and awful peals of thunder. Some hailstones of unusually large size were also observed. In a few minutes the viliAgers were terror-stricken, the high-read assuming the appearance of a rapid river, and the water raising the brook ten feet in an incredibly abort space of time. In Davis's cottage, it filled the lower apartments to a height of nearly six feet, and it was with groat diffi culty ho saved the life of his wife, who, in her alarm, faint2d, and his three children, one of whom was in bed at the time. An aged woman whom, we are in formed, he had from motivas of charity alone sup ported, perished in the flood. The front and back walls of a cottage, fortunately untenanted, between that of Davis and Campin, were carried completely away by the force of the torrent, and but for this vent there is little doubt that the whole range of tenements, the foundations of which were all undermined, must have yielded to the weight of water brought to bear upon them. Joseph Cass, a labourer, with great promptitude, rescued Cam pin's sick wife, and a girl named Pouton, attending upon her, and both narrowly escaped with their lives, Cass himself encountering great personal risk. All the out buildings built over the brook, and belonging to the vari ous cottages, were carried away, and several were found near the Manor Farm. A long fence, six feet high, by the side of Harris's garden, and nearly thirty feet of a nine-inch brick wall next the road disappeared, while all the cottagers' gardens were covered to a considerable depth with mud brought down from the adjacent lands. Articles of furniture swept from the dwellings were, we understand, discovered at a distance of a mile, and very many are entirely lost. Richard Davis, a wheelwright, is a considerable sufferer, his workshop, a large thatched building, having been levelled to the ground, and his tools carried away.—Essex Herald.

BILLINGSGATE AND CUSTOM-HOUSE REGATTA. The Billingsgate and Custon-house Upper-stairs Re gatta was contested yesterday, and afforded a full after noon's sport. The attendance of spectators was about the greatest ever seen at any such exhibition, both on shore and on the water, the Custom-house Quay and the various places where a view from the banks could be procured being literally crowded, while the craft stationary on the river and various boats presented an animated picture.

ELECTION OF SHERIFF.—State of the poll at four o'clock yesterday-- Hodgkinson, 1 86 ; Butler , 82. Maj riry for Hodgkinson, 104. THE SOVEREIGNS AND COURTS OF EUROPE. — Much curiosity pervades the political world respecting the forthcoming work entitled " Germania," from the pen of the Baroness Blaze de Bury. who, it is said, is about to give a picture of the various vurts, camps, end people of the ennti ianmoipdasrtatbhiee from m.reck su t e d h t a h w e r o e r c k e , n i t s rgerevoaltuly tnieonnte,. as T t h h e e increased by the well•known fact t hat the Baroness p ossesses, they interest, appear through her influential connexions, very peculiar facilities for acquiring exclusive information on the topics treated of, and she is reported to have been on the most friendly terms with almost all the illustrious characters, male and female, whom the events of the last two years have brought into European celebrity. We are led to expect that her pages will teem with the sayings and doings of these noted person ages, combined with graphic views of the insurrectionary struggles, sketches of the various aspects of society and incidents of personal adventure. The Baroness is also un derstood to have penetrated into provinces and localities rarely visited by tourists, and still glowing with the euibers of civil wan—to have fo:lowed the armv of Prussia in Germany, of Russia in Hungary, and of Radeizky in Italy; and it is rumoured that her revelations will be of the mogt singular and startling kind.—Evening Fiver.
