This case originated out of the unhappy dissensions which have for several years existed between the rector and his parishioners, owing to the innovations introduced by the rev. gentleman in the services of the church. The whole of the parochial func tionaries, the vestry-clerk, the officers of the church, and a large number of the principal inhabitants were present, and appeared deeply interested in the result. Mr. INGHAM said the simple question for him to de cide was, whether the rector was entitled to two quarters' salary or not, and whether the churchwarden had shown sufficient cause why he should not pay the money. He must decide that the rev. complainant was entitled to the sum claimed.

A SHARK STORY.—While the barque Annabella, Mr. John Paterson commander, was on her passage home from Trinidad to Clyde, on ber last voyage, she was one day going thrown the water at the rate of about three knots an hour, with a light wind, when a shark was observed following the vessel. The shark hook was immediately called for, baited with a piece of pork, and thrown over the side, when the shark at once seized hold of it, and was hooked. As is usual in such cases a bowling-hitch was passed round the body of the shark by the mate, to secure it. While in the act of doing so the mate, Mr. Dow, now commander of the same vessel, lost his balance, fell overboard, and caught hold of the back of the shark—thus both shark and man hung sus pended by the rope. The master, seeing the imminent danger to which his mate was exposed, sprang over board, taking hold of a rope in one hand, and grasping the mate by the other. At the moment, in the struggle it • shark got clear of the hook, but before it had time to turn itself on its back, as it is under the necessity of doing before it can seize its prey, the master and mate were both drawn on deck by those on board. When the mate reached the leek he %as pale as death, and almost tip( ech less.— Glasgow Chronicle. WHITE ZINC PAINT.—The Society for the En couragement of National Industry has granted a medal of gold worth 3,00 0 f. to M . L ec l a ire for his substitution of white of sine for white of lead. It appears that from 1838 to 1847 no less than 3,142 persons entered the Paris Hospital, attacked by disease originating in the use of had. Of these 1,898 persons worked at white of lead or at minium; there were also 712 painters, 63 grinders of colours, and 10 preparers of visiting curds with a porcelain surface. Since 1846 no person has been at tacked in M. Leclaire's e3tabliahment,—Builder. FEBRUARY 11, 1850 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Sir F. Baring, Bart., the First Lord of the Admiralty, has consented to preside at the anniversary festival of the Royal Naval School, on the 4th of May next. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., will receive officers desirous of interviews on Tuesday, the 19th inst. Captain the Right Hon. Lord John Hay, C.B. (1818), late a member of the Board of Admiralty, has now been officially appointed superintendent of the Royal Dock yard, Devonport, and second in command at that port; his broad pendant to be hoisted in the Agincourt, depot-ship of the ordinary. Lord John Hay's career in the service is well known. He is brother of the Mar quis of Tweeddale, entered the navy December, 1804, and has served afloat 23 years. As a midshipman, and when belonging to the Seahorse, 42 guns and 218 men, " he bore an ample part in many gallant opera tions against the enemy. Among other services, he was employed in the boats and lost his left arm at the cutting out of some vessels in Hieres Bay, and on the night of July 5, 1808, contributed to the capture, after a memorably furious engagement and a loss to the Seahorse (30 of whose crew-were abreast) of five men killed and ten wounded of the Turkish man-of-war Ba dere Zsffir ' mounting 52 guns, with a co m pl ement o f 543 1:11,D, of whom 170 were slain and 200 wounded ; another ship of 26 guns, 230 men, also engaged with the Sea horse at the same time, having been put to flight." He was promoted in 1812, and, as a lieutenant, served in the West Indies in the Pique, 36, and Venerable, 72 ; was again promoted in June, 1814, and commanded the 10. gun brigs Bustard and Opossum until 1818, in which year he was posted. As captain he has served many years afloat ; first in command of the Castor, 36, for more than four years from 1832 ; then again in that ship from March, 1837, and succes .aively in the Phoenix, steam-sloop, and North Star, 26, on the north coast of Spain, where during the civil war his Lordship had the command of the British squadron afloat and a battalion of marines ashore; and for the important services he rendered on that coast, and especially at the siege of Bilboa, received in 1837 the grand cross of the order of Charles 111., and the com panionship of the Bath. His Lordship next, from August, 1841, to October, 1843, commanded that fine 50. gun frigate the Warspite; and in this ship conveyed the late Lord Ashburton to America, to settle the differ ences between the two powers. In 1846 Lord John Hay (who previously to 1841 had declined the appointment of superintendent of Chatham dockyard in favour of his seniors, then offered to him by Lord Minto) was appointed acting superintendent of Woolwich dockyard, and subsequently chairman of the committee of refer ence on naval architecture, the admirable report of which was so condemnatory of the bastard system of ship building that had been fostered by Sir James Graham, that it has hitherto been kept strictly secret and cone dential. His Lordship has devoted a great portion of his leisure time to scientific pursuits. In 1833 (as stated by O'Byrne) he received a large silver medal from the Soeiety for the Encouragement of Arts, &c., for his in vention of a telescope-holder for the use,of a person with only one hand. Lord John Hay, we believe, will proceed to Devon port to-morrow, and immediately relieve Sir John Louis. His Lordship has selected a new secretary, who is Pay master and Parser W. Dyer (1839), formerly secretary to Rear-Admiral Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. when Commodore Superintendent at W oo l w i c h, and pre. viously secretary to the Hon. Joceline Percy, C. 8., when Commander-in-Chief at the Cape. We presume that his Lordship has accepted his new office with the understanding that he retains his appointment after be succeeds to his flag rank. He is in the 57th year cf his age., which he had cheerfully accepted. Captain Austin was again at the Admiralty, at Whitehall, and at Somerset House, in conference with their Lordships and with Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, surveyor of the navy, from an early hour on Saturday until half-past four, when he left to proceed to Portsmouth by the five o'clock train. Their Lordships having every confidence in the ability of Captain Austin t) acdomplish the duty he has undertaken, have placed the arrangements entirely at his disposal, and he will select the vessels and the officers that will be appointed to them. Several of the officers who have volunteered their services waited on Captain Austin, and were assured by }rim that their applications would meet with his best consideration. An impression prevailed in the early part cf the day that Captain Bird, who commanded the Investigator, would be appointed to commtud one of the vessels of the new expedition, but no decision as to the up pointment of any of the other officers has yet taken place. The only decision made is, that the Wessels selected. for the expedition will be fitted out at Woolvvich under the immediate inspection of the officer appointe l to command them. Highly to the honour of the °E.:ere of the British royal navy, a rpirit of chivalry exists at the present day equal to any that has exit,tod at any former period of the history of this country, as is evi denced by the number of voluntsers who have offered their services for this perierus enterprise. Amongst others, Captain William Peel, teal of Sir Robert Peel, Commander Codrington Forsyth; Lieutenants *Olin- Lock, Browne, and Oiborne, with upwards of thirty other officers, have been pressing their claims to be permitted to serve in the expedition. Captain Au=to, after his interview with the Lords of the Admiralty on Friefty, paid a visit to Lady Franklin in Spring-gardens. It may be worthy of notice that the gallant officer's reply to the telegraphic message of their Lordships to ascer tain if he was willing to command tee expedition wars conveyed back from Portsmouth by telegraph in two words—" Most cheerfully." The launch of the Nan kin, 50, at Woolwich, is post poned uutil the 16th March next. FURTHER SEARCH IN THE NORTH WEST FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. The appointment of Captain Hoiatio a'. Austin, C. 8., to the command of the north west expedition to search for Sir John Franklin and his gallant com panions, has effarded much satisfaction to all parties interested in their preservation. Captain Austin is known to be a most thorough seaman, a hardworking, unpretending, straitforward man, possessing unsurpassing energy, perseverance, and zeal; well up to his work in all respects. He served under the gallant Captain Sir Edward Parry in the Fury, in the Arctic voyage, when that vessel was obliged to be abandoned in Regent's Inlet; and he also served in the Chanticleer with Captain Foster, when surveying the islands in the North Pacific Ocean, so that he is well acquainted with the seas of the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. Captain Austin's appointment has been made froM his thorough deserving conduct, and also, we hear, from his being recommended in the strongest manner by Captain Sir. E. Parry, who was on this matter consulted by the Admiralty. We hear that Captain Austin will select his own vessels for this service; that two will be sent —one a sailing vessel and another a steamer, both of mode rate tonnage. In our opinion it would be also most desirable if one, or even two tenders were sent with the searching ships. Strong dockyard lighters would be the very best description of vessels ; they might be loaded with provisions and coals; they would be comparatively inexpensive, as they might be navi gated by a small number of men. They might follow the searching ships as far as Pond's Bay, or any other port near the entrance of Lancaster Sound, where they could lie secure from ice. These vessels would not only form a depot for supplying the expe dition with coals and provisions, but they would also form vessels of refuge, and bring the crews back to England in case of the accidental wreck of one or both of the searching vessels. COals and provisions might also be sent out in the whale-ships, and depo sited at certain places in B a ffi n ' s B ay , to be fixed and pointed out by Captain Austin. It would be also desirable that the Admiralty should offer some re ward or compensation before the sailing of the whale ship's this spring, to encourage a search in Baffin's Bay for Sir John Franklin, or for vestiges of the remains of the Erebus and Terror, if such might be found ; tor, as it has not been definitely ascertained that Sir John Franklin, with his ships, passed on to the westward through Barrow's Straits, he may still be Aozen up in the north-west part of Baffin's Bay, in Jones's or Smith's Sounds. We believe that the north part of Baffin's Bay is seldom visited much by the whalers, so that as yet there has been no search for the missing ships in that direction. There is also:a probability that the North Star, Master Commander Sanders, may be in that locality, and there is some anxiety about her safety. If Sir John Franklin passed westward through Lan caster Sound and Barrow Straits (and the probability is that he did so), he must have ran through a strong ,lair wind ; for had he done so with a beating wind, or even with a light fair wind, he would doubtless have left such marks and deposits on the principal head lands, Leopold's Island, &c., to show that he had done so ; but Sir James Ross never fell in with any mark or symbol to denote that Sir John Franklin had passed in that direction. From Melville Island to the islands, or land dis covered last summer by Captains Kellett and Moore, in the Herald and Plover, in the Behring's Straits exploration —assuming that this-land does not ex tend to any very considerable distance to the east ward, the distance, between these two islands is about 2,000 miles. With a feir wind and open sea the run might be accomplished in ten or fourteen days. Why may not the north east part of the coast of this land have brought up the ships of Sir John Franklin ? There is certainly only a slight chance of such a result, but there is sufficient to prove.tbe d n i e s c c e o s y s e it r y ed of la e n n d d , ea a s n 'o d uri w ng e h to twe exa n m o in d e ou th b i t a C li a 9 p w ta ly i . n - Collinson try N E to do E i r t o , route to the' . . • andir ec t vegetablely in h s m fo t r he it li i c i h "s en d s portio , n o matter found by Captain Moore on the small islan d f on which he landed, it appears that at some the summer months this land is free from ice. This land, as we have before stated, lies, directly in the route of the ships of Captain Coilinson , after they ,have passed through Behring's Straits, and that they will have to endeavour to pass to the northward of it;` for it appears, from•what we Wive seen of the Plover's , journal, that the 'sea bordering on the north part of the North American continent is so shoal that vessels of any great draught of water , cannot preceed a l ong it, and that Captain Collinson s ships must go well to the north 'before they can proceed to the eastward. From this circumstance it is improbable that the ships of Sir John Franklin can be anywhere near the coast of the North American continent, and, as we before observed in a former article, renders the boat expedition under Commander Pullen, dispatched from the Herald and Plover from Icy Cape, to the Mackenzie River, a great risk, without much chance of effectin g any useful purpose. Sir John Franklin and his gallant companions will, we fervently believe and trust, yet turn up ; but, whatever may be the result, the strenuous endeavours made for their rescue is no more than should be done by a great nation like England; and the Admiralty, for their perseverance and energy in adopting such a rigorous search for these brave, but unfortunate, men, will have the gratitude and commendation of a sym pathising nation.

PUBLIC BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.--On Thursday the Town Council of Preston voted 8,000/, fdr,theerec tion in that borough of public baths and wash-houses. They are to contain 100 baths and 100 washing com partments, and are to he after the plans of the model es tablishment in Gonlston-square, Whitechapel. With the experience gained in the erection of that building, Mr, the civil engineer to the Commit te e for Pro mor.ilY' tingthe Establishment of Baths and Wash-houses for the Labouring Classes, has been enabled greatly to reduce the cost for Preston as well as for other places. The plans prepared by him for the baths and wash-houses f or the parish of St. James, Piccadilly, for which a site has been secured near Messrs. Broadwood's brewery, have been approved by the parochial commissioners. In this parish also, as well as . in those of St. Mat tin's-in-the-fields, and St. Margaret, end St. John's, Westminster, the plan of the model establishment will be followed. The united parishes of St. Giles, and St. George, Bloomsbury, have v er y recently adopted Sir H. Dukineld's Act. Lord Shaftesbury has desired to be relieved from the duties of Deputy Speaker of the Lords, to which be bad been appointed in conjunction with Lord Den man. A warrant under the sign manual has accord ingly been issued, appointing Lord Denman and Lord Campbell to preside in the House of Lords, as Deputy Speaker, in the absence of the Lord Cannotllor.— Observer.

SAFETY OF THE JACKAL, STEAM•VESSEL.—The Jackal, iron steam-vessel, which parted company with the Gladiator steam-frigate, in the Channel, put into Falmouth, all safe, and appears to have made much better weather of it than the larger ship did. "OWe understand that between this time and the sth of April there will be a gradual discharge of artificers em plo3ed in the steam-factory at Portsmouth, to the amount of 120 men. The Basilisk steam-sloop, has been moved up the har bour to the moorings of the first class advanced steamers at Portsmouth. The Hercules store-ship, Master Commander Fulton, has proceeded from Portsmouth on to Greenhithe, with the troops of the line and artillery that she brought home from the Mediterranean. The Falmouth. lighter, will leave W oo l w i c h t o -d ay . with timber for Pembroke, calling at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 10.—The Ajax steam guard-ship is nearly rigged. When commissioned it is supposed that she will be attached to the Irish statioc, and carry the flag of the Commander-in-Chief at Cork. The Hermes ate stn-sloop, Commander Fishbourne, and the Dart brigantine, Second Master M'Clure, put back to Coe es-roads on Friday night, from stress of weather. She remained in the same position at 2 P.M, to-day. - The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert was removed from the dock after refit, to the basin yesterday. She is ordered to be ready for sea the first week in April. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 9.—The ship Countess of Yarbo rough, of 465 tons register, Captain John Bennett, ar rived here on the 31st ult., bound to Adelaide, Port Philip, as.d Sydney. She left London on the 14th of January, and Gravesend on the 23d. About the time of her departure from Gravesend Mr. Jacobson, father of one of the passengers, made com plaint, before the Lord Mayor of London, of the bad . quality, and i nsu ffi c i ent quant i ty of the provis ions served out on board ; when his Lordship, in reply, said, that no doubt justice would be done to the complainants on the arrival of the Countess of Yarborough at Plymouth. She has ten cabin passengers, and ninety-five intermediate adults, with forty children. Since she came in several meetings of the passengers have been held at Harvey's Navy Hotel, Plymouth; and at length they elected a depu tation, who appointed Mr. Breen, a solicitor of Dublin, their chairman. This deputation, on Monday, waited on Lieutenant Carew, R.N., her Majesty's emigration officer hero, who the same afternoon went on board, inspected, and condemned the provisions. Yesterday the following memorial was forwarded to the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies:— " Plymouth, on board the passenger-ship Countess of Yarborough. "To hor Majesty's Under-Secretary cf State for the Colonies. _ . " The memorial of a deputation from the inter mediate' passengers on board the ship Countess of Yar borough, humbly showeth that your memorialists have been deputed by the ' intermediate' passengers proceed ing to the Australian colonies on board the above pas senger-ship, to lay before you certain grievances. " That your memorialists, with their fellow-passen gers, left London in the above ship on the 14th of . January, and Gravesend on the 23d of January, 1850. That previous to their leaving London your memo milts were informed that the provisions on board the ship were examined and passed in London by the Go vernment emigration officers, and a certificate to that effect given by the officer at Gravesend. " That your memorialists were one week . proceed. ing from Gravesend to Plymouth, during which period some of the provisions, particularly the beef and pork, having been opened were found quite unfit for use. "That your memorialists, as forming the deputation from their fellow-passengers, having waited on Lieut. Carew, the Government emigration officer at Plymouth, and requested him to re-inspect the provisions, he (Lieu tenant Carew), upon examination, not only fiund the quality of some of the stores so bad as to render it ne cessary for him to order their immediate removal, but also the quantity exceedingly deficient. " That your memorialists were informed that the in spections, both in London and Gravesend, were conducted in the most careless manner, and that the re-inspection of Lieutenant Carew fully proves this to have been the case. "That your memorialists are of opinion, and believe that the negligence of the officers in London and Graves. end is deserving of the severest censure of Government, and your memorialists humbly request that for the pro tection of future emigrants this memorial may receive the consideration which is due to it from the proper an . thorities. "And your memorialists will ever pray. " JOHN BREEN, Chairman. " GEORGE BIGG. • " LAWRENCE KENT. "Feb. 8." " Joust DUNN. Mr. Bennett, the master, is partowner of the Countess of Yarborough, and Messrs. Whittaker and Co. are her brokers. The first casks of beef and pork examined by Lieutenant Carew were condemned. The beef is repre sented as being green outside and yellow within, and the pork flaccid, soft. and unwholesome ; one piece of the latter weighed 7ilb. before going into the pot, and under 2ilb. when boiled, and this was the portion of a mess fur 15. Many of the passengers are ashore on ex penses. Lieutenant Carew will not permit the ship to leave until she is sufficiently found with good provisions. CHATHAM, FEB. 9.—Orders have been received this day for the removal of the Acorn, 16, now in ordinary, to Woolwich, to be fitted to proceed to the Arctic re gions.
