THE METROPOLITAN INTER- MENTS BILL. It is quite true that certain parts of this Bill do not go far enough for some, but then these same parts go much too far for others ; it is likewise thought by some that private interests are more con sidered than they ought to be, but, on the other hand, a large and powerful body are of opinion that these interests are not sufficiently protected by the Bill ;. and if those who are honestly labouring to get rid of intramural interments and provide means for " burying our dead out of our sight," will take this clashing of interests into consideration, they will see that the Government measure is framed so as to have the best chance of passing into an Act, and that it should have their earnest support. Much of the individual opposition which has been shown to the Bill has been caused by the misrepre sentation of interested parties, that its provisions are what those who have examined the Bill know they are not. Clause 7, for example, which provides that the Board of Health may, if they see fit, purchase and take by agreement or otherwise all or any of the cemeteries mentioned in the schedule, stipulates that it must be subject to the rights to graves, vaults, and monuments subsisting therein. By clause 12, the Queen in Council may, upon report of the Board only (but is not forced to do so), order discontinuance of interment in churchyards, &c. By clause 13 the inhabitants of parishes comprised in the district or part in which interment is ordered to be discontinued are to have right of sepulture in burial grounds provided under this Act. And then as to the assertion that the Government have taken forcibly into their own hands the conduct of all funerals, let the public read the clause (26), and judge for themselves. It runs as follows : " And be it enacted, that the said board shall make provision for the management and conduct, by per sons appointed by them, of the funerals of persons whose bodies are to be interred in the burial grounds provided under this Act, where the persons having the care and direction of such funerals desire to have the same so conducted; and the said board shall fix and publish a scale of the sums to be payable for such funerals, inclusive of all matters and services neces sary for the same—such sums to be proportioned to the description of the funeral, or the nature of the Matters and services to be furnished and rendered, but so that in respect of the lowest of such sums the funerals may be condUcted with decency and solem nity ; and the persons having the care and direction of the funeral of any person whose body is to be in terred in any such burial ground, where they are de sirous of having the same conducted by the same board, upon furnishing to the said board or their officers a note in writing, stating the scale according to which they are desirous the funeral should be fur nished, and upon payment, for such funeral according to such scale, shall be entitled to have such funeral conducted by the said board accordingly." Parties may still employ their own undertakers if they will. But even if we admit that the manage ment of all funerals will fall into the hands of Government—that they will monopolize the trade— we must remember it is a monopoly by which the public themselves are to benefit : no revenue is to be derivedf rom it : the accounts will be audited, be open to public inspection, and be brought annually before Parliament. No time should be lost in providing places of sepul ture away from town, and closing the present over filled graveyards of the metropolis—the fever-stills of this mighty centre of active life. Summer is ap proaching, and there is too much reason to fear that with it will again come the mysterious destroyer which last year carried off, in the metropolis alone, no fewer than 16,000 persons. The deleterious effect of graveyards on the atmosphere, and the connexion between a tainted atmosphere and the cholera, can not now want proving. —Builder. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 22. HUDSPETE V. TARNOLD.—ACTION BY AN ♦CTOR TO RECOVER HIS SALARY. This was an action which had been brought by a low comedian against Mrs. Yarnold, as the lessee of the Pavilion Theatre, to recover twenty-two and a half weeks' salary, at the rate of 21. a week. The case was tried before the Chief Justice at the sittings at Nisi Prius, in Middlesex, after.last Hilary Term. The plaintiff, in his particulars of demand, credited the defendant with the sum of 241. odd, and sought to recover the balance. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 121. Bs. 2d. only. In the course of last Easter Term, Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the defendant, obtained a rule nisi to enter nonsuit, or to enter a suggestion upon the roll to deprive the plaintiff of costs. The ground upon which the Learned Counsel sought to enter a nonsuit was that a letter in which the defendant offered to give the plaintiff a salary of 21. a week for the sum mer season, constituted an agreement, and being for an amount above 201. ought to have been stamped, and not being stamped had been improperly received in evidence. The Learned Counsel applied to enter a suggestion upon the roll to deprive the plaintiff of costs, because the jury had found that all that was due to him was 121. odd, and that sum being under 201. the action ought to have been brought in a county court, and not in one of the su perior courts. Mr. Joyce now showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Prentice supported it. The COURT said they were of opinion that the letter in question only contained a proposal on the part of Mrs. Yarnold to give the plaintiff a salary of 21. a week, and it did not amount to an agreement between the parties, consequently it did not, require a stamp. With regard to the second point, the Court thought that the action was one which ought to have been brought in a county court, and therefore the rule must be made absolute to enter a suggestion upon the roll to deprive the plaintiff of costs. Rule absolute accordingly. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, May 22. (Before Palate's BAYLEY, Esq.) M'CANN V. FERGUSON. The plaintiff, Mr. M'Cann, sought to recover the sum of 141. lls. 6d. for services rendered to the wife 1% of the defendant as her medical attendant. His HONOUR, upon M'Cann entering the witness• box, inquired for his "certificate." Mr. M'Cann ac quainted the Court that he did not consider that he was called upon to produce it. His HONOUR observed, that whether Mr. M'Cann considered himself or his profession called upon to produce their certificates, he would now take the op portunity of acquainting the medical profession, that unless they came before the Court provided with their stamped certificate most unquestionably would they be nonsuited.

Mary Anne Williams was placed at the bar before Alderman Musgrove, charged with stealing between 200 and 300 fourpenny-pieces, 60 threepenny-pieces, and two florins, the property of her master. The case was remanded from Saturday, and, in the absence of any further evidence, the prisoner was com mitted for trial. John Keats, Henry Fosset, and Matthew Noble, members of the London swell mob, were brought up on remand, charged with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies on Blackfriars-bridge. The prisoners were remanded from Monday to in quire into their characters. Daniel May stated that he had made inquiries, and ascertained that Keats had been committed from Bow street for three months on a charge of felony, and previous to that a former conviction stood against him, when he had nine months. It was also ascertained that Fosset and Noble were noted " skittle-sharps," and were constantly observed in company with the worst of characters; one of their companions was lately transported for " sharpiog" a tradesman out of a large sum of money at skittles, and three more were keeping out of the way for being concerned in the same affair. The father of Fossett was called to speak for him, when it was proved that he lived entirely by skittle sharping. Mr. Chandler, the landlord of the Prince and Princess, Gravel-lane, appeared to give Noble a cha racter, and eventually proved that he was as great a sharp as Fosset. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. Francis Johnson, clerk and bookkeeper to Messrs. Warner and Sons, metal merchants in Jewin-street, was placed at the bar charged with embezzling vari ous sums of money the property of his employers. The prisoner, who said he would reserve his de fence, was committed to Newgate to take his trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Mary Reynolds, a decent-looking woman about 30 years of age, stated to be the wife of a blacksmith in Nelson -street, Bethnal-green, was placed before Mr. Hammill, charged with an attempt to commit self - destruction, and also attempting to destroy the life of her daughter, Ann Reynolds, an infant eight months old. Alfred Watson, a hawker of china, stated, about 7 o'clock yesterday evening I was in the Victoria-park, showing my little boy the swans and wild fowl in the ornamental water, when I noticed the prisoner, who is a neighbour of mine, standing a few yards from me, by the side of the water, with her infant in her arms. I moved away from the spot a short distance, when, hearing a scuffling noise, I turned round, and at the same instant saw the prisoner leap into the water with her infant clasped to her breast. The child di rectly after dropped from her arms, and sank beneath the water, but floated up again ; and the prisoner, who had likewise sunk, also re-appearad about half-a-yard from it, and made a violent effort to get hold of it. I and my brother, however, jumped in, and while I secured the child and brought it to the bank, my brother succeeded in grasping hold of the prisoner herself, and dragged. her on to the path. Upon getting her up, she wrung her hands, and exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Watson, you had better not have saved me—you had better have let me alone • for my husbanothas ill used me. I have a poor deaf dumb b o y a t home, and I wish to God that he was here also. She then became. faint; and having laid her upon the grass, we sent for one of the park-keepers, and gave her into custody for her own protection. She appeared to me to have been drinking ; but scarcely five minutes before she leaped into the water with the infant I saw her sitting upon a bank with another woman, crying, and apparently in much mental distress. Mary Thompson, a married woman, stated—l live in the same house with the prisoner, who has four children, the youngest of whom is now in court, and is about Bor 9 months old. About half-past 5 yes terday evening I and the prisoner, accompanied by her husband and a party of other persons, went out for a walk, and in the course of it, had a small quantity of spirits each. On reaching Birdcage -walk some sharp words ensued between the prisoner and her husband, which appeared much to hurt her feelings, and, on reaching the park, her husband walked on out of sight. We were walking along the bank together, the prisoner with the infant in her arms, when I happened to look across to the opposite side, and, noticing that the prisoner did not follow, turned round to speak to her, when I heard a sudden splash, and the next instant she and the baby were struggling in the water. The act was so sudden and unexpected that I became greatly alarmed, and do not know what else took place until she and the infant had been rescued by some of the bystanders, nor do I know the cause of her committing the act; but, whilst previously walking near the water, I noticed that she was very low spirited and crying bitterly, and upon asking her to tell me why she was so, she refused to speak. The witness added, that she bad lodged iu the same house with the prisoner and her husband for the last twelve months, and that, as far as she could observe, they ap peared to live on happy terms together. When asked if she wished to say anything in answer to the charge , the prisoner, wh o was d eep l y affected, and in suc h a state of debility and illness that she was obliged to be allowed a seat during the examination, faintly replied in the negative; and Mr. HAMMILL ordered her to be remanded until that day week, for the completion of the evidence. She subsequently applied for her infant to be re stored to her, but the magistrate considered it unsafe to intrust her with the care of it, and the child, which was in the arms of a nurse.in court, and ap peared to have suffered from its immersion in the water, was afterwards conveyed to the House of De tention, with directions that it should there be properly attended to. Several persons before the close of the court presented themselves as bail for the pri soner's future appearance, but the magistrate refused to accept it. THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. A magnificent entertainment in the character of a bi-centenary festival was given last evening in the royal banquetting room of St. James's Palace, by the officers of the Coldstream Guards, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the enrolment of that dis tinguished corps by the celebrated General Monck, afterwards Duke of Albemarle. The intention of the officers of the regiment to commemorate this event in their annals by a grand banquet having become known to the Prince Consort, his Royal Highness in the kindest manner interested himself to obtain the use of the banquetting-room in St. James's Palace for the purpose, and, her Majesty's gracious permission having been accorded, the neces sary preparations have been in progress for some weeks past under the direction of a committee, of whom Col. Lord Frederick Paulet and Col. Daniell were active members. The invitations were necessarily limited to officers formerly belonging to the regiment, and those still attached to the corps, these forming an aggregate number of nearly 150 gentlemen. A request was made to the Prince Consort that he would con descend to honour the festival with his presence, but the Court having arranged to leave town yesterday, his Royal Highness was prevented joining the party. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, colonel of the regiment, was of course present. His Grace the Commander-in-Chief, the Secretary-at-War, the Adjutant-General of the Forces, and a few other officers were the only visitors present. It should be here mentioned that the Royal Regi ment of Coldstream Guards is the oldest corps in the service, with the exception of the Ist Foot. The re giment owes its origin to General Monck, by whom it was raised in August, 1650, fire companies having been draughted, by the Protector's authority, from Heselrigge s regiment, quartered at Newcastle, and five from Fenwick's, then garrisoned at Berwick. Thus formed, the regiment entered Scotland with the army under Cromwell, and did not return till General Monck, on the Ist of January, 1659-60, quitted his head-quarters at Coldstream to restore the monarchy under Charles 11. From the place whence these brave men set out, and where the plan had been matured, the regiment derives its distinctive appellation, .an event which Gumble, the chaplin of General Monck, has thus re corded :—" This town hath given title to a small company of men, whom God made the instrument of great things, and, though poor, yet honest, as ever corrupt nature produced into the world, by the no dishonourable name of Coldstreamers." Of the ser vices of the Coldstream Guards, it is sufficient to say that none of her Majesty's regiments have more distinguished themselves. The guests assembled in the long gallery, whence, on dinner being announced, they proceeded to the state banquetting-room—an appartment of great mag nificence erected by George IV., and frequently used by the late King William IV., but only once since the death of that Monarch, on the occasion of the marriage of her present Most Gracious Majesty. Two long tables were arranged on either side of the room with a cross table, together affording seats for 140 guests and exhibiting a magnificent display of the choicest plate. The appartment was superbly illuminated, and when the guests were seated the effect was ex tremely grand. Behind the chair, supported on either side by the colours of the regiment, was a fine por trait of General Monck, purchased by the officers of the corps some years since, and bearing the following inscription :—" General George Monck, Duke of Albemarle, the first Colonel of the Regiment of Coldstream Guards." Over the fireplace was a mag nificent gold cup, presented to the officers of the regi ment, and upon either side waved the tattered colours borne at Waterloo, which were presented to the corps only yesterday by Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Woodford, the Colonel commanding at that period. Colonel Chaplin, the commanding officer of the regiment, presided, and was supported right and left by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Grace the Duke of Wellington. To the right of the Duke of Cambridge sat the Marquis of Huntly, the Earl of Stradbroke, and the Right Hon. Fox Maule, M.P. To the left of the Duke of Wellington we remarked the Marquis of Westmeath, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, and Sir James Macdonell, K.C.B. The banquet was furnished under the exclusive su perintendence of Messrs. Gunter, of Berkeley-square —a fact in itself sufficient to guarantee the entire perfectibility of all the arrangements. During dinner the fine band of the regiment, under the direction of Mr. Godfrey, played a selection of favourite music. The dessert having been placed upon the table, The Gallant CHAIRMAN gave, " The Health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," by whose kind ness they were allowed to celebrate the present fes tival in a Royal palace.—(Cheers.) The toast was responded to with the utmost en thusiasm, the band playing a few bars of the National Anthem. The Gallant CHAIRMAN next gave " The Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the other Members of the Royal Family." This toast was also enthusiastically responded to, the band playing the Coburg March. The Gallant CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the next toast, claimed the indulgence of the company, as he felt himself unable to do it justice.—(Hear, hear.) They were met that day to celebrate the 200th anni versary of the formation of the regiment of Coldstream Guards.—(Hear, hear.) He believed it was in Au gust, 16.50, that this distinguished regiment was first raised by General Monck, afterwards the Duke of Albemarle. Had they put off their festival until August next perhaps they might not have been honoured with the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and so many gallant mem bers of the " Nulli Secundus" as he then saw around him. His Royal Highness having consented to honour them with his company on that day, it had been thought better to celebrate this festival at once, and hence the occasion of their present meeting.— (Hear, hear.) He regretted to say that be was not very well up in the history of the regiment, but he believed it.took its name from the village of Cold stream, which was the head-quarters of General Monck in 1650, when he commenced his celebrated march towards London. ; In February of the same year he arrived in the metropolis, and the regime n t was quartered in the precincts of the Palace in which they were then assembled. In May General Monck marched to meet Charles IL, who, on his restoration, created him Duke of Albemarle, and converted his regiment into one of Royal Guards.—(Hear hear.) Since that time the regiment bad had many colonels, but he believed he was correct in saying none so long as their present illustrious colonel.—(Cheers.) His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had been connected with the reg i ment f or nearly half a century, and, as on e o f th e oldest officers in the corps, he could himself bear w it ness to the many advantages for which it w as i n d e b ted to his Royal High ness .— (Hear, he ar .) His Royal Highness has always been anxious to promote the best interests of the regiment, and he begged to propose the health of their illustrious Colonel, with three times three, and the expression of a fervent hope that many years of health and happiness might be spared to him to command the Coldstream Guards.—(Cheers.) The toast was most rapturously received, the band playing the Coldstream March. His Rorer, HIGHNESS, in responding, expressed the extreme gratitude he felt both for the kind manner in which the toast had been received, and for the flattering way in which the gallant chairman had in troduced his name. He confessed the pride he felt in commanding so distinguished a regiment as the Cold stream Guards, and that pride was increased by the fact that the regiment had been formerly commanded by his beloved and affectionate brother, the late Duke .of York, to whom he believed the corps owed great obligations for the efficient system he had introduced into his. management.—(Hear.) He trusted the principles which had hitherto marked the regiment would be continued, and that it would in future prove, as it had hitherto done, "nulli seeundus." In conclusion, his Royal Highness begged to be allowed to propose the health of their illustrious Commander in -Chief, " his Grace the Duke of Wellington." The toast was drunk with all the honours, his Royal Highness giving the cue in the hearties mannner. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in reply, said—My lords and gentlemen, I am greatly indebted to his Royal Highness for the honour he has done me in proposing to you to drink my health, and to you for the manner in which you have accepted the proposi tion of his Royal Highness.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I may well be gratified and flattered at the honour you have done me in inviting me to attend your festi val on this occasion. Gentlemen, long before I had the honour of holding a commission in the corps of Guards, I had every reason to respect that corps on account of their display of every military quality as soldiers in every situation in which they could be placed. I have had the good fortune to see them in' the presence of the enemy—in situations of difficulty under every possible circumstance, and on every such occasion they have conducted themselves with distinc tion, and displayed every quality which could be ex pected from the best class of soldiers.—(Cheers.) Among these the leastdistinguished have not been the Coldstream Guards.—(Loud cheers.) I see many around me whose conduct have had ocoasion to ap plaud under every variety of circumstance—in the field, in cantonments, and in quarters. Gentle men, I know also it is impossible to lee troops equal to the efficiency of the Guards. Look at your every ' day occurrences in foreign countries. What, gentle men, shall it be said that in England the people are less courageous than in other countries ? Is not an ,English mob as brave as that of any other country, w hether French or German ?—(lipar.) Well, just 100 .k at the handful of men who in this metropolis and in toe great towns of England have maintained peace and or der under very difficult circumstances, and cvmpa o them-with the moraine armies-quArtferedin foreign countries.—(Cheers.) G entlemen, you have all seen what has passed both here and elsewhere, and I need not enter upon it in this place. You are aware of the difficult position and trying circumstances which have occurred, but you must also have ob served that while with ourselves anarchy has never had a chance of success, other countries, after months of rapine and misfortune, have only been extricated from their difficulties after severe a .d fatal contests.— (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I want to know how it happens; and I believe it is attributable in a great measure to the principle of bravery and good discip line which animates the corps of Guards, and which has its example and effect among all classes of the people.—(Cheers.) Among this corps, I say again, the Coldstreams have never been the least distinguished and reiterating my thanks for the compliment you have paid me, I wish every one of you prosperity and happiness. The Noble Duke resumed his seat amid loud cheers from all parts of the room. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The sister service, the N4vv," which was duly responded to. The CHAIRMAN, on ag Ain rising', proposed " The health of the Right H in. the Secretary at-War," prefacing the clmplimmt with a few eulogistic re marks on the official conduct of the Right Hon. Gen tleman. The Right Hon. Fox IVIAuLE responded in an elo quent address. The other toasts proposed were—" The Adjutant- General of the Forces," "The Grenadier Guards and Colonel Lascelles, "The Fusilier Guards and Colonel Drummond," " The Marquis of Huntley, the oldest Coldstreamer present," the Gallant Marquis having left the corps in 1790; " The Chairman," by the Duke of Cambridge; "Sir Alexander Woodford and Gene ral Trevor," "Sir James Macdonnell and Sir Henry Bouverie," "Sir William Gomm," "The Cavalry Brigade," responded to by Lord George Manners, M.P. ; " General Milman," " General Walton," " Ge neral Shawe," "Lord Frederick Fitzclarence," "Cox and Co., the agents of the regiment," " The old Cold streamers," and " The non-commissioned officers ;" the latter by Colonel Daniels. The party broke up about midnight highly de lighted with the festival. - A grand entertainment, in celebration of the event, wet given yesterday at the Portman-street barracks, to the non-commissioned officers and privates of the regiment. The men, numbering 1,400, assembled in St. James's-park at one o'clock, under the com mand of Colonel Bentinck, and, after a brief parade, marched from there to the barracks at Portman•- street, where a substantial repast had been prepared for them. The Duke of Cambridge (Colonel of the regiment) and all the officers were in attendance. The large yard occupying the centre of the barracks was completely,covered in with canvass, in the form of an oriental marquee, this portion of the arrangement having been entrusted to Mr. Benjamin Edgington. The colours used by the corps at Waterloo occupied a prominent position at the entrance, and were taste fully entwined in laurel and ribands. Other portions of the tent were emblazoned with the national em blems of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and with a variety of flags and banners. The men having sat down, grace was said by Sergeant-Major Hurle, who presided. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, occupied a seat among the privates with whom he conversed with his wonted affability. The fare consisted of about 1,4001 b. of beef, with a liberal sup ply of pudding and beer. At the termination of the entertainment, Sergeant-Major HURLE, in a brief address, pro posed " The health of her Majesty the Queen," a toast which was drunk with acclamation. The SERGBANT-MAJOR, then rose and proposed " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the Officers of the Coldstream Guards." The sergeant, in very eloquent terms, eulogised the services of the Coldstreamers, and en tered into a brief detail of their services from the time of General Monck down wards. He observed, that although there were no Waterloo veterans at present in the corps, he was sure the Coldstreamers of the present day were not inferior in point of martial spirit to their predecessors. He next dilated upon the many good qualities of the officers who at present formed the staff of the regiment, and instanced several cases in which the general welfare of the men had been enhanced through their instrumentality. In no regi ment did the mutual relations between officers non commissioned officers, and men more cordially exist than in the Coldstream Guards. The toast was most heartily responded to. His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned thanks, and con cluded by observing that, having been connected with the corps for upwards of 45 years, he felt no small pride in denominating himself " The Father of the Coldstreamers." The Royal party retired shortly before four o'clock. Later in the evening the men were permitted to have their friends, and dancing and other amusements were kept up for some hours. THE ARMY. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, MAY 22.—An order was issued during the latter part of last week announcing that no permission would be granted to any of the troops in the garrison to proceed to Green wich Fair during the Whitsun holidays, as several of the men had got into trouble when they were per mitted to visit the fair last Easter. The drills in the garrison were carried on from 3 to 5 o'clock P.M., instead of 2 to 4, and the tatoo roll-call was beat at 8 instead of 9 o'clock at the Royal Artillery and Royal Marine barracks. A strong piquet, consist ing of 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, 6 sergeants, and 100 rank and file of the battalions ; 1 lieutenant, 2 ser geants, and 13 rank and fife of. the Royal Horse Artillery paraded on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday afternoon, and the horses after parade were taken to the stable and kept ready saddled in case their services should be required, or any attempt made to disobey orders. A sergeant of the Royal Artillery, and a sergeant of the Royal Ma rines, were stationed at each of the stations of the North Kent Railway, at Woolwich ;and a sergeant of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marine, at each of the steam-boat piers. The whole three days of the fair have passed over without any attempt on the part of the men of the garrison to disobey the injunctions of their' superiors. The officers of the garrison in tend to have races on Monday next, and have sub scribed liberally for the amusement of the men on that day, and a committee consisting of Brigade-M , jor Walpole, Royal Engineers, president ; Captai n W ar d, Royal Horse Artillery; Captains Wodehouse and Rad cliffe, Royal Artillery ; and Captain Hounslow, Royal 'Marines ' has been appointed to award prizes to the men for leaping and running,running in sacks, climb ing poles, and other entertaining amusements, after the races are over. :.. ~- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVAL OF THE COURT. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--The royal yacht Fairy, Master-Commander Welsh, was put in requi sition to-day, by Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., Commander of the Royal Squadron, to con vey the Court from Gosport to the Isle of Wight. The royal party arrived in the Clarence-yard at ten minutes to five o'clock, and were received by the heads of departments, as usual, and a guard of honour of the 28th Regiment, commanded by Major Adams. By her Majesty's express command, no royal salutes were fired, nor band played, but the Queen's colour was borne by the guard of honour. The Fairy left with 'her illustrious freight at 5.3 for Osborne, fol lowed by the dispatch yacht Elfin, Master-Commander Balliston. • Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will ar rive of Gosport to-morrow, at half past one o'clock, to visit her Majesty, and remain over the Queen's birthday. The band of the Royal Marine corps of this division is ordered to proceed to Cowes to-morrow evening in the Echo steam-vessel, to be in attendance on the fol lowing morning to serenade her Majesty on the anni versary of her birthday. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from Greenock. APPOINTMENT. WooLwicFr, Mar 22.—Midshipman Thomas R Baker, to the Impregnable, 104, flig-ship, at De yonport. PROMOTION. William Harris, to be gunner. The name of Commander Henry Hire (1848) was inadvertently omitted yesterday from the list of offi cers who attended the levee of the First Lord of the Admiralty on Tuesday last. The Buzzard steam-sloop, fitted with engines by Miller and Ravenhill, Blackwall, was taken down the river to Woolwich to-day to have ballast put on board preparatory to a trial of her engines. The Prince Albert, purchased by Lady Franklin, aided by private friends, and taken to Aberdeen to be fitted for searching Prince Regent's Inlet, has had the requisite work to strengthen her for a voyage to the Arctic Regions performed by about 50 ship wrights and carpenters, under the superintendence of Mr. Hogarth, a gentleman of Aberdeen, who kindly undertook the task, and she will be ready to leave that port the Ist of June next. Everything has been done to make the Prince Albert equal to the in teresting mission she is to be engaged in. She is doubled fore and aft with extra beams inside at the water-line to resist the pressure of the ice, with plate iron about the cutwater, bows, and quarters. All the bulk-heads have been fitted to resist the cold, and she is to take an unusual supply of preserved meats, vegetables, and other provisions, a prtion of which has been supplied by the Admiralty. Notwithstanding the liberality of their eryolepesrs, alndjusevreeswsseloi: Lord ships, Lady Franklin will have to bear a great share of the expense, unless further assisted by the friends 1, 1 e gallant _ hzerrebus and d husband T u or a d n ii d o 0 Ehe CLERKENWELL. Ann Brown, a young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Mrs. Hannah Isaacs, wife of Mr. Henry Isaacs, fruiterer, of 5, Shrewsbury -place, Whitecross-street, St. Luke's, with having cut and wounded her with a penknife. The prosecutrix, who was in a weakly state, ap peared in the witness-box with her hands, fingers, and arms covered with adhesive plaister. She stated that on Tuesday afternoon last, about four o'clock, she called upon the prisoner to remonstrate with her in conse quence of her having traduced her character. She found her in the back yard unpicking a shirt with a penknife. She questioned the prisoner as to the rea son of her calling her bad names, when she made an attack upon witness with the penknife, and in endea vouring to ward off the blows she received several desperate wounds. The prisoner had before threatened to be revenged on her, and without any provoCation on the part of witness. Witness bled profusely, and was taken to a surgeon, who dressed her wounds, and she gave the prisoner into the custody of Sergeant Harvey, 14 G. _ _ Sergeant Harvey produced the following certifi cate " I hereby certify that Hannah Isaacs called upon me with several wounds on her fingers and hands, and one on her wrist, which require great attention. • • " J. C. Pownx, 47, Chiswell-street." Harvey said that when he took the prisoner into custody, he took the penknife from her, and said, " This is a very serious job for you." She replied, "I did it in my own defence, and I would stab any -- that came to interfere with me." He took her to the station-house. Mr. TYRWHlT;questioned the prosecutrix with a view to show whether she had struck the prisoner before she received the first wound. She said she struck her one blow, when she stabbed and rau after her and inflicted the several wounds.. - While the prosecutrix was giving her evidence the prisoner laughed. Mr. Mould, the clerk, told . her it was no laughing matter, for she was going to Newgate. Prisoner--I am not laughing. She is telling lies. Mr. Mould—l can only tell you, that if you are found guilty, you are liable to be transported for life. This' intimation seemed to affect the prisoner, who cried, , and was much convulsed. Mr. TYRirHITT, after the usual caution, asked the prisoner if she-wished' to say anything in ber defence, as he intended to commit her to Newgate to take her trial. He endeavoured to impress upon her that she was not bound to say anything. Prisoner(cryiWg)-1 shall say nothing. She was then fully committed for trial, and was locked up convulsed with grief. THE NILE SEAnonsE.—The liipon takes to the Zoological Society the hippopotamus which has been waiting in Cairo for the hot season, and a collection of animals and birds, among which are an Ibex from /11citint Sinai, a lion, a ghepard, two lynxes, an ichneumon, some civet cats, and a variety of serpents, lizards, and desert rats. A young giraffe was also to have formed part of the collection, but it was unfortunately drowned in the canal after reaching Alexan dria. The hippopotamus, being only eighteen months old, is comparatively small, and lives exclusively on milk, its daily consumption being about eighty pints, for the furnishing of Which several cows have to be kept on board. It is very tame, and allows itself to be freely handled by its Arab at tendant, whom it follows and answers to the name of Gheb baysch, an island on the Blue Nile, near the seventh cata ract, between Senaar and l'azoglu, where it was caught. It is a male specimen, and Abba Pasha, the Viceroy, has issued orders to procure a female, which is expected to arrive here after the rise of the Nile, in about three months' time, and will also be sent to England. Preparations for the con veyance of the hippopotamus had been made at Southamp ton, on board the Ripon, with a convenient iron tank, holding about 400 gallons of fresh water, which it will require to be renewed every other day to bathe in. This is the first hip popotamus that is taken to Europe alive.
