MAKING MONEY OF HER MAJESTY.—An official notification, in the form of an advertisement, appears in the Manchester papers, commencing, " I, John Potter, Mayor of Manchester," and goes on to announce that " all persons who may be desirous of being present in the Exchange, on the occasion of her Most Gracious Majesty's visit to Man chester, will forthwith make application to me for admission. Every application must be for two places, specifying the names and addresses of both parties; as no seats can other wise be allotted. Admission for each person, one pound. Should the applications exceed the number that can be ac commodated, a ballot for admission will take place." O ur Manchester neighbours are determined to make money by the royal visit.—Liverpool Standard. TUE EARTUQUAKES IN SICILY.—The earthquakes in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies have been accompanied by storms of incredible violence in various provinces, par ticularly in those that had comparatively escaped from the former scourge. In the Principato Citeriore, for example, a furious hurricane broke out on the 19th ult. ; it became pitch dark at eleven A.M., torrents of rain fell, and in two hours' time the waters of the river Tenza had inundated the Country around to the height of eight feet, sweeping away with it enormous rocks from the mountains, trees torn up by the roots cottage% cattle, &c. Several bridges and mills were carridoff or destroyed, and it was not until five r.m. that the waters returned to their ordinary level. Salerno, Chieti, Tollo, Tonito, and other places, were v i s it e d b y s t orms of equal viole nce on the same or the following day._ Genoa Gazette. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND RAIL. wAr.—An extension of thief company's territory from Ma li:4U t 9 CAM talked of. 0,518 1,452 .2,380 34,058 27,254 4,876 LONDON, ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 10th, in the Univers, states that great excitement has been caused at Rome by the appearance of the British fleet off the coast of Sicily, which is attributed to some secret political project. According to this correspondent, a rumour is current that the squadron has a quantity of arms on board for the Sicilians, and that the said murderous weapons are landed whenever an opportunity offers, and conveyed to secret recesses known only to the demagogical faction, and that England is preparing a new insurrection throughout Italy, in which laudable pursuit she is aided and abetted by Piedmont ! The writer indulges, in support of his assertions, in the most absurd reflections, attributing the projects of Mazzini, and the Aldborough conspiracy lately dis covered in Tuscany, to the machinations of the Bri tish Government. THE CANADIAN LAND AND RAILWAY ASSOCIATIO2V. At the weekly meeting of this association, held at their offices, 18, Aldermanbury, City, Mr. Frederick Scarfe in the chair, Mr. ALEX. CAMPBELL (the secretary) reported that since their last meeting he had received a communi cation from Canada, stating that the Canadian Le gislature had authorised the Government there to issue debentures, which were to be guaranteed by the Imperial Governmet, to the extent of 16,000,000 dolls., as the Canada contribution for the expense of constructing the great trunk line of ,railway from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick to Quebec ; he had also received information that the Government of New Brunsiek had been recon structed and pledged to support the railway policy, and that there was no doubt of their being able to do so successfully. Mr. Campbell also read a letter received that day from the Hon. Joseph Howe, provincial secretary of Nova Scotia, stating that he had been se completely occupied since his arrival from England in promoting the railway policy in the three British provinces that he had not yet had leisure to prepare the draft Act of incorporation, which he had promised to send for the consideration of the committee, but that, as the general election in Nova Scotia was now over, and the Government had ob tained a sufficient majority in support of the railway policy, he (Mr. Howe) would have more leisure to prepare the draft, and write by the next mail. Letters had also been received from Mr. Buckerfield, the agent of the association in Nova Scotia, stating that the Legislature there was expected to meet at the latter end of September, for a short session, to pass railway measures ; that he (Mr. Buckerfield) had had an interview with Mr. Howe, who informed him that he highly approved of the views of the associa tion, and that an Act to incorporate it would be passed. Under these very encouraging circum stances he (Mr. Campbell) would suggest that the committee should postpone their public meeting, which was intended to be held on the 23d inst., in the Mechanics' Institution, till after the arrival of the next mail from Halifax, when he hoped he would be in possession of Mr. Howe's communication and the draft Act of incorporation. Mr. Alum fully concurred in the suggestion of Mr. Campbell, as it was of great importance that they should be able to lay something definite before the public, who were now beginning to look anxiously to them for information. He would, therefore, move that the public meeting be postponed. Mr. FOWLES seconded the motion, which was agreed to ; and the meeting, after transacting some routine business, adjourned. WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. A demonstration took place on Wednesday at Rei gate, Surrey, to celebrate the purchase of an estate of twenty-four acres. The South-Eastern Railway liberally placed a special train at the disposal of the society at less than the ordinary fares. On the arrival of the train a procession was formed, preceded by_a band playing popular airs and amidst the hearty acclamations of the inhabitants, proceeded to the land. The waving of the flags from the marquee and other parts of the estate, together with the fineness of the weather and the beauty of the scenery, presented a most lively appearance. In the absence of George Thompson, Esq., M.P. (one of the trustees), who was prevented from attending by a domestic calamity, the chair was taken by J. Wyld, Esq., M.P., one of the vice.presidents. Letters were received from Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. J. Hume, M.P., Mr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Schole field, M.P., and Mr. Alcock, M.P., regretting their inability to attend. Among the company were the following gentle men :—Captain Parrott, Mr. R. Kettle, Mr. G. Pearson, Mr. James Taylor, of Birmingham ; Mr. G. Edgar Dennes and Mr. G. Huggett, the solicitor and secretary ; Mr. J. Wells, and several members of the committee. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He expatiated upon the advantages of free hold land societies. They were the means of pro viding not only aids to independence for members, but good homes for their wives and families. At pre sent the poor man could not find a suitable residence within an easy distance of his work; the freehold land society would be the means of providing the working people not only with freehold land, but would enable him to place a comfortable residence upon it. The earnings of the industrious man could not be better invested than by placing them in a so ciety like the present, which, even in a commercial point of view, offered an excellent investment. J. BEAL, Esq., pointed out the beneficial effects the society had already had on the moral and social con dition of the working classes. The ground purchased for the society would yield 8 or 10 per cent., and when the houses w e r e erec t e d th e return would be increased to 12 or 14 per cent. Mr. Beal, in a long and eloquent address, pointed out the social, moral, and political advantages of the freehold land move ment, and sat down amidst loud applause. Captain Parrott, Mr. P. E. Barnes, Mr. Kettle, and Mr. G. Haggett, addressed the meeting. Mr. JAMES TAYLOR, of Birmingham, addressed the meeting, and in consequence of the crowded state of the marquee, he spoke from a platform erected outside the tent. On rising he'was received with loud cheering. He said freehold landholders had adopted a creed so abort, that had others adopted the same, much of the late religious disagreements might have been avoided —it was this, " Buy land at the wholesale price, and retail it to the people at the same rate." Mr. Taylor, in a most able and energetic address, urged the work ing men of Reigate to avail themselves of the advan tages the society offered, and sat down amidst the acclamations of the assembled hundreds. Mr. G. HUGGETT proposed, and Mr. G. E. DEN NES seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, the pro cession was reformed, and proceeded through the town • and the London members re t urne d b y t h e special train, evidently much pleased with the day's proceedings. IRELAND. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The landing of Lord John Russell, her Ladyship and family, from the Scotia steamer, on Monday night, duly chronicled among the arrivals in Dublin, appears to be somewhat of a mystery, for all inquiries yesterday as to the where abouts of the distinguished visitors have so far proved unavailing; and the only reasonable conjecture is, that if the Premier really crossed over from Bangor he must have left yesterday morning by one of the early trains en route to the provinces. Several per sons who were on the jetty at Kingstown at the time of the express boat's arrival on Monday maintain that Lord John was among the passengers and came to town by the half-past ten P.M. train. There is neither contradiction nor confirmation of the reported visit in the morning papers of this day. THE LATE DR. REID. Her Majesty has granted a pension of 1001. a-year out of the Civil List to the widow and family of the late Dr. Reid, of Glasgow University. The Banner of Ulster observes, in reference to this grant : " The liberality of this grant has been delicately enhanced by an order for payment of the current quarter, although, in official strictness, it could scarcely have been included within the regular term. This is an act of Ministerial generosity whose moral value will be felt and recognised by the whole Pres byterian body in Ireland, since it was chiefly in his character of our denominational histo rian that Dr. Reid had established for himself that claim upon Imperial consideration which has now been so suitably acknowledged in the case of his surviving family. We have seldom to record the bestowal of an annuity more appropriate than the present, or one to which will be accorded a larger amount of public ap proval." EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT! An inquest was held to-day, at the South Infirmary, Cork, before Mr. Coroner Mahony, on view of the body of a man, whose name was unknown, and appa rently about 30 years of age. It appeared, that some of the constabulary, early yesterday morning, found the deceased lying in one of the hulks on the coal. quay nearly dead. He was immediately removed to the infirmary, and every effort used to restore him, but in vain. Dr. John Shenquin was examined at the inquest, and stated that there were no marks of violence on the body, but that it was very much ema ciated, and i n hi s op i n i on d eat h was cause d b y starva tion and exposure. The jury retired after the evi dence having closed, and in about ten minutes re turned with the following verdict, which was drawn up by the foreman :—" That we find the deceased, name unknown, came by his d ea th th roug h starve • tion, he being in the prime of life, owing, in our opinion, to the reckless and care l ess t reatment o f our the distress of the couutry." governing Ministers, in not gi v i ng more attent i on to ,780 6,884 8,514 7,950 8,097 7,835 8,534 5,07 36,797 ,178 21,447 5,400 3,716 28,640 31,410 6,113 8,142 6,394 57,292 6,708 990 3,875 FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER THE DRAINAGE OF LONDON. It will be remembered that at the close of the year 1850 the then existing Commissioners of Sewers de cided upon a plan for the general drainage of London. This plan was divided into three portions, viz.—the northern, the southern sides of the Thames, and the Westminster division; and it comprised works of no ordinary magnitude, the cost of which was estimated at 1,080,0001. It was the intentio❑ of the commis sioners to commence the formation of this vast system of intercepting sewers without delay, but a serious difficulty has arisen, and one which, without the in tervention of Parliament, will prevent them from doing more than executing smaller works, ancillary to the greater ones hereafter to be undertaken. The difficulty which presents itself is the absolute want of funds, and the inability of the commissioners to offer such security as would enable them to raise the money, or even a portion of it. Under the old Act the commissioners were empowered to raise a rate of Is. in the pound, yearly, on all the rateable pro perty under their jurisdiction, but, during the last session of Parliament, Mr. Henley succeeded in car rying a motion for the insertion of a clause in the Act preventing the commissioners from raising a rate of more than 3d. in the pound. This assess ment, if enforced throughout the whole of the dis trict rateable to the commission, would produce only 103,000/. yearly ; but, as at present carried out, it produces about 80,0001. This sum is very little more than is necessary for the present functions of the commission, viz., the formation of the smaller lines of sewers, the abatement of nui sances from open drains and ditches, repairs, gullies, &c., leaving but a very small amount to be applied to the general drainage system. The com missioners recently attempted to borrow 80,0001. on the security of the rates, and one of the principal in surance offices in London expressed its readiness to grant the loan ; but upon an examination of the security, it became evident that it was of compara tively little ♦alue, the proportion of the 3d. rate required by the commission for its active functions being so large as to leave a trifling residue. Ap plications were also made in other quarters, but with the like success. It becomes evident, therefore, that even if the whole of the money which the commissioners could raise were to be at once applied to the execution of the general drainage system—leaving uncared-for the daily requirements of the metropolitan districts—these works would oc cupy a period of 11 years in their execution; and, in the meantine, the sanitary condition of London would be far from progressing favourably. If the balance remaining to the commissioners, after the due execu tion of all their minor functions, were to be applied, London would remain imperfectly drained, and the Thames perfectly polluted for 30 or 40 years to come. Under these circumstances, nothing effectual can be done until the assembling of Parliament, when some extended powers of rating, and raising money must be granted to the commission ; or else the Government must take into their consideration the propriety of assisting the commission to obtain the necessary funds, by those means and upon those terms of repayment which may be agreed upon. The utmost anxiety , exists in the minds of the commissioners to com mence the execution of their gigantic scheme without delay ; but they are now prevented from doing more than merely keeping the sewers of London in as good condition as possible, and forming new ones whenever they are required, in such a man . ner as to render them hereafter portions of the more comprehensive system. Under any circumstances, even supposing the most favourable, the formation of the enormous conduits which will be required to con vey the 120,000 tons of sewage daily flowing under the city to the mouth of the river Roding, the time required will be between four and five years ; and the present delay, arising from the insertion of a mis chievous clause in the Sewers Act, will probably cause a much longer delay. It is the intention of the commissioners to perform works by contractors for different portions of them. The sewage will be collected in enormous reservoirs at Barking-creek, to be discharged into the river at such periods of the tide as will prevent its return to London, or to be disposed of, if practicable, for sewage manure, and thus converted into a source of revenue. There is little doubt of the partial success, at any rate, of the last proposition, as offers have already been made to the commissioners to lease from them certain sewage outlets, with the view of using the soil for agricultural purposes. These offers have been declined because the duration of the present commission is limited, and it is deemed inexpedient to bind their successors by any contract which might impede them in the free construction of any system of sewage. The recently-formed commission has, up to the present time, given unlimited satisfaction to the ratepayers by its effisctual and prompt working —Morning Paper. BURIAL GROUNDS. In the new City Sewers Act are the following clauses relating to burial grounds :—" That after any churchyard or burial-ground shall have ceased to be used for the interment of the dead, it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, with the consent of the Bishop of London, to be signified by any instrument in writing under his hand and seal, to enter into such arrangements as may be agreed upon with the incumbent and churchwardens of the parish in which such churchyard or burial-ground may be situated for the appropriation thereof, or of any part thereof, to public improvements, or to enlarge and improve the public streets. That it shall be lawful for the relative of any deceased person, with the consent of the incumbent or other person having the care or control of any such churchyard or.burial ground as aforesaid, in which the body of such deceased person has been interred or deposited, but subject to the regulations of the Commissioners, to cause such body to be removed to, and interred in, any burial ground or in any cemetery without the City, without any faculty for that purpose. That it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, with the consent of the Bishop of London, to cause any churchyard or burial-ground within the City, after the same shall have been finally closed, to be planted, paved, or otherwise covered over, or any part thereof ; and it the surface of such churchyard or burial-ground shall be above the level of the adjoining ground, to cause the same to be lowered, and for such purpose to dig and carry away the soil of such churchyard or burial-ground. Provided always, that if the Commissioners shall cause any churchyard or burial- ground to he lowered, the graves and vaults shall be as little dis turbed as possible; and it shall be lawful for the relatives of any deceased person whose body may within the last twenty years have been interred or deposited in any grave or vault which may be so disturbed, to cause the remains of such person to be removed, carried away, and placed i❑ in some oth er church yard, or burial-ground, n such manner as the Bishop of London, or such person as he may appoint, shall direct, and the expenses of such removing, carry ing away, and placing (not exceeding iu any one case the sum of 101.) shall be paid by the Com missioners, and the remains of such persons as shall have been interred or deposit e d i n th e graves removedor vaultsor carried so (except su c h graves or vaults as shall be finally closed up) a t th e expense of disturbed, which shall no t b e the Commissioners, be removed from s uc h graves or d away, shall vaults, and interred in such manner as the Bishop of London, or such person as he shall appoint, shall direct.

INDIA. THE INDIAN ARMY.—THE RELIEF. (From the Eastern Star, Aug. 2 ) Subjoined is the General Order containing the re lief of the Bengal army for the present year, and we believe the most limited that has been known since that army attained anything near its present magni tude. This is the first real step towards protecting the junior officers from the marching, building, and selling off expenses and losses to which they have for years been subject, and which have in many cases been productive of debt and distress, and possibly, as is asserted, of great involvement and ruin. These small reliefs will in any event prove a great relief to the army, and we are confident will not, in the pre sent state of our dominions, be attended with or fol lowed by the dangers and evil consequences for the avoidance or prevention of which the vast reliefs and frequent changes of regiments were heretofore consi dered necessary and prudent. This relief, as will be seen, includes but two troops of Horse Artillery which change stations ; moves head-quarters of two batta lions of Foot,,Artillery, ten companies, and one battery of the same arm, three regiments of Irregular Cavalry, six of European, and twelve of Native In fantry. Only two of the regiments in the Barrack pore brigade move : viz., the 44th Native Infantry to Dinapore, and the 54th Native Infantry to Allyghur, to he relieved by the 30th and 67th Native Infantry, from the above stations : "BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN•CHIEF.

TUCKER, Lieutenant-Colonel, " Adjutant• General of the Army." COURTS-MARTIAL. " Head-quarters, Simla, July 12, 1851. At a general court-martial assembled at Meerut on Thursday, the 26th day of June, 1851, Lieut. Anstruther elactier, of the 6th L. C., was arraigned on the following charge:— For unbecoming conduct in the following instances:- Ist. In having, at Cawnpore, on the 27th of April, 1851, caused Byjoo, a servant in his employ, to be beaten with a horsewhip by Bhowance Sing, trooper of the said regiment. 21 In having, at the same time and place, himself struck with a horsewhip and with his fist the said Bhowance Sing, trooper, because the latter did not beat severely enough the said Byjoo. Finding.—The Court, having duly considered the evi dence which has been brought before it, are of opinion that the prisoner, Lieutenant Anstruther Mactier, of the 6th L. C., is guilty of both instances of the charge, and guilty of unbecoming conduct, as set forth in the pre amble of the said charge. Sentence.—The Court having found the prisoner guilty of the charge preferred against him, as above re corded, do sentence him, Lieutenant Anstruther Mactier of the 6th L. C., to be severely reprimanded. Revised Sentence.—The Court, having maturely con sidered the observations made by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, beg most respectfully to adhere to their former sentence. Confirmed, W. M. Gomm, General, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN CHIEF. The Commander-in-Chief considers that he cannot more effectually discharge the office which devolves upon him, at the requisition of the Court, in this instance, than by requiring that the observations which accom panied his orders for the reassembly of the Court, should be read to Lientenant Mactier in its presence; evincing to him, as they have already done to the Court, in how grave a light his conduct is viewed by the Commander-in-Chief, and how inadequate to the offences proved he regards the sentence awarded and adhered to by the Court:— " 1. The Commander-in-Chief cannot rest satisfied with the sentence passed by the Court in this case. "2. It is not only the positive injunction of the Court of Directors, but it is the.obvious duty of all vested with authority in India, to visit with marked severity the ill treatment of natives by British residents or functionaries of whatever description. "3. Yet here is an officer of 12 years' standing in the Hon. Company's service, who permits himself in a fit of ill-humour to summon his trooper to horsewhip his native servant; and, the infliction falling short of hie desire, the trooper himself—one of the detachment em ployed on a special duty under the immediate command of the lieutenant arraigned—becomes the victim of the moment, and is violently assaulted with fist and whip; and all this outrageous proceeding would seem to be in a great measure excused in the eyes of the Court by the prisoner's plea of infirmity of temper. 4. The Commander-in-Chief cannot be prevailed upon to show such indulgence to proved misconduct, which, by the 103 d article of war, renders an officer lia ble to be cashiered, and he, therefore, recommends the Court, in the interest of the service, and of the public at large, to reconsider its sentence." After having heard these observations Lieutenant Mactier will be released from arrest and directed to re turn to his duty. Head-quarters, Simla, July 18. At a general court-martial assembled at Govindgurh, on Tuesday, the Ist of July, 1351, private John Rooney, No. 2,378, of her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot, was arraigned on the following charge:— For having, at Umritsir, on the 10th day of June, 1851, feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, killed and murder©d Jewan Sing, Commandant of the Shore Dil Regiment, or police Inttalion, stationed M Umritsir, by striking him on the neck with a sword, and thereby inflicting a mortal wound, whereof the said Jee wan Sing then there immediately died. Finding—The Court is of opinion that the prisoner, private John Rosney, No. 2,378, of her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot, is guilty of the charge preferred against him. Sentence—The Court sentence the prisoner, private John Rosney, No. 2,378, of her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot, to suffer death as a felon, by being hanged by the neck till he be dead. Approved and confirmed, W. M. Gomm, General, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. liead-quarters, Simla, July 14, 1851. RECOMMENDATION. The Court, having performed its painful duty, begs unanimously to recommend the prisoner to the mercy of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, on the grounds of the highly excited and irritated state of the prisoner's mind arising out of his unexpected detention by the native police, and also on account of the unhappy facility afforded by the vicinity of the weapon. The Court likewise desires to record its conviction that had not the prisoner been stopped at the gate he would have returned peaceably to his barracks. REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE CO3IMANDER-IN- CHIEF. I respect the feeling which has prompted the Cour to put in its recommendation to mercy iu this distress. ing case. trust the Court will appreciate my feeling while re fraining, under a paramount sans:3 of duty, from ex tending my support to the appeal so made on submitting the case for final adjudication to the Supreme Go v2rnment. W. M. Gomm, General, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. The most noble the Governor-General of India con curs in the confirmation by his Excellency the Cum• mander-in-Chief of the sentence of death passed on private Joh❑ Rosney, of her Majesty's loth Regiment of Foot, and in the said sentence being carried into ex ecution. J. STUART, Colonel, Secretary to the Govern ment of India, Military Department, with the Governor-General. Simla, July 14, 1851. Head-quarters, Simla, July 18. No. 53-1. The Commander-in-Chief feels confident that the army at large will have been looking forward with a painful interest to the result of the proceedings of a general court-martial assembled at Govindgurh, for the trial of private John Roney, of hat. Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot, charged with wilful murder, on the 10th of June last, of Colonel Jeewan Sing, Comman dant of the Shere Dil police battalion, stationed at Una ritair. 2. Tho crime charged has been fully proved against the prisoner; he has been sentenced by the Court to suffer the extreme penalty of the law—death by hang ing; and the sentence has been ordered to be carried into execution. 3. These are the lamentable issues to which, with more or less of aggravation in the circumstances, the fatal propensity to drink, too prevalent in our European ranks, must over, by too certain courses, lead. 4. In the present instance, a valuable and honourable life has been savagely sacrificed to the blind fury of a British soldier, naturally of excitable temper, inflamed by drink into a reckless desperado. The character of our arms and nation has, it is much to be feared, incurred a blight in the eyes of the gallant and generous people recently gathered under the shelter of our rule, and in the midst of whom we are living in the strictest bonds of amity and mutual trust. And the perpetrator of the crime has been promptly summoned—as promptly as circumstances would admit --to answer with his life to the aroused vengeance of the law and the sacred claims of British justice. 5. The Commander•in-Chief feels well assured that all good and sound-hearted British solders—whether of her Majesty's or of the East India Company's army— serving in India will mourn with him over the unworthy fate of the veteran and distinguished commandant, Jeewan Sing, and will join with the chief British autho rities in India and with his kindred, with his faithful corps and fellow citizens and countrymen, in lamenting his loss. 6. They will also grieve with the Commander-in- Chief o►er the fate of the fair charactered young soldier who, by the besotted act of his own hands—those hands borne honourable witness to as having been strenuously employed in his country's cause on the field of victory— has miserably brought himself to this untimely end. 7. And they will unite with the Commander-in-Chief in an earnest and reiterated exhortation to such of their youthful comrades as may be found still addicted to, or in danger of falling into, the debasing habit of intem perance, to take timely warning from this sad example, and resolutely turn to courses far safer for themselves, and more honourable to our arms. W. M. GOMM, General, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. Head-quarters, Simla, July 17, 1851. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, ARMINE S. H. MOUNTAIN, Colonel, Adjutant-General H. M. Forces in India. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTIONS. Three commanders have been promoted to the rank of captain, namely, Comma n d ers F re d er i c k P a t ten (1837), A. D. Jerningham (1841), and Archibald M'Murdo (1843). Captain Patten came home acting flag-captain to Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., in the Centaur steam frigate, coast of Africa, having been appointed to that ship from the Hound, 8, which he had previ ously commanded on the coast on the invaliding of Captain Buckle. He entered the navy in 1814, was made a lieutenant in 1822, and commander in 1837. Commander Jerningham is nephew of the present Lord Stafford. He entered the navy in 1823, and has been on full pay, with the exception of a couple of years, in one way or other ever since he entered the service. He passed his examination in Septem ber, 1829, and was promoted in 1832. As a lieu tenant, he served in the Raleigh, 16, and Excellent, and was promoted to the rank of commander from gunnery lieutenant of the Wellesley, 72, during the early portion of the Chinese war. As a commander, he has not seen any sea service; he has been an in specting-commander of the coast guard ; and latterly, to give him sea time, he has been borne on the books of the Excellent whilst be has been drilling the coast guard. Commander M'Murdo's name we mentioned yester day as having served about nineteen years afloat in all kinds of service. He is the son of Lieut.-Colonel M'Murdo, who lost his eyesight and ultimately his life from the effects of a wound received in an action in the 'West Indies. He entered the navy in 1824 in the Pylades, and went to the West Indies. He was in the Blonde, 46, with Sir E. Lyons, at the blockade of Navarin, and at the reduction of Mores Castle, the last stronghold of the Turks. He passed his examina tion in Nov., 1830, and as a mate served in the Alli gator, 28, in the East Indies, and was promoted in 1836 for services in recovering the crew of a wrecked whaler from the natives of New Zealand. As a lieutenant he served in the Terror, in Sir G. Back's disastrous voyage of discovery; then in the Volage, 26, in the E ist Indies, whence he invalided, and from 1839 to 1842, as first of the Terror, under Captain Crozier, in the Antarctic discovery expedition. He was promoted in 1843, and from June, 1844, com manded for nearly three years the Contest, 12, on the coast of Africa, on which station he was most success ful in his captures, having taken more vessels then the steamers. Lieutenant Charles Bampfield Yule (1842), who has commanded the Bramble tender for nearly ten years in surveying Torres Straits, has been promoted to the rank of commander. Captain-Superintendent Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., mustered the artisans of the Deptford yard on 'Wed• nesday, and those of the victualling-yard on Tuesday. Aid lighter, Smallman, Master, sail e d f rom De vonport, on Wednesday, with stores for Chatham and Sheerness. Avon steam-tender, Second Master-Commander Veitch, sailed from Devonport on Wednesday, with supernumeraries for Portsmouth. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord George Paulet, sailed from Devonport, for Portsmouth, on Wednes day morning, at nine o'clock. Wind light and easterly She was in sight at one P.M. Dauntless, 33, Captain Halsted, is under the sheers, at Portsmouth, to receive her new armament. She is all ataunt in her rigging. Defence convict-ship, is still at St. Helen's, not being able to compete against the strong easterly wind that blows. Pike steamer, with Mr. Mills, the Master-Atten dant, on hoard, returned to Devonport, from Liver pool, on 'Wednesday morning, having surveyed the moorings in that harbour. Rolla, apprentice tender, Lieut.-Commander Fen wick, returned into Portsmouth harbour on Wednes day afternoon, having been recalled by signal. She took in extra provisions and water, and sailed for the chops of the Channel, to supply homeward-bound vessels that may require provisions during the preva lence of east winds. Tortoise lighter, Shearman, master, arrived at Devonport with stores from Pembroke, on Wednesday morning. Tyne store-ship, Master-Commander Peter Wil lington, from Rio, with old stores and a small freight, anchored at Spithead yesterday morning. Her ar rival in the Channel has already been reported. She has had to contend for the last 30 days against adverse easterly winds. She brought to England Lieutenant Portugal, of the Brazilian navy (and lady), from Rio, who comes over to contract for steam machinery. The Tyne will probably proceed to Woolwich to land her old stores. Vulcan iron screw steam troop-ship, Master- Commander Penn, has had as many men placed on her as can find room to work. She will probably be at Spithead in a week or less time. She is receiving the second coating of Mr. Buchan's composition on her bottom. PLYMOUT H , S EPT . 17.
