EYEBrOWS MUSTACHIOS, and IVIIISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of 0 RIMS TONE'S AROMATIC 'eX REGENERATOR. If you are in want ef that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an It,. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. Thu is an essential spirit, drawn fr)m aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whoa it is highly appreciated fur its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, 'Merchant, flerbary, Highgate, and will l a found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aroroatie Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. tid., 7s. Sd., or Ls., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Gihnstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cat:inlet, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to he denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by llerries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, hearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the , Lon.lon He)spit:ll Medical Society, &e. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un iertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits., while suffering front their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap, , lying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LAME RT has taken the highest medical honours, as his Zplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseagert.

ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A Boy.—On Thursday, a boy about sixteen years of age, named James Smith, was chargcd at the Mair.:hester Barough Court with attempting to cat a lady's throat on the previous evening. Mrs. Knight said her husband was a pawnbroker in Butler-street, Oldham. road, and the prisoner had been in their employment for some time past. On the previous evening she was in the kitchen, no one else being in the house at the time but the boy, when the latter, who was ?ngaged in cleaning some knives, aimed a blow at her neck from behind with a carving knife. The wound was apparently inflicted with the blunt side of the knife, not being a serious one. She had given him no provocation, and was quite unable to account fur his conduct. The doors were all fastened, so that no one could have entered without witness's knowledge. She screamed for assistance, and she freed herself from the boy's grasp, and took refuge in the house of a neighbour. Mr. Knight said the boy hal been detected on the previous Saturday stealing sonic money from the shop, and he thought he had perhaps been actuated by a desire for revenge in committing the violence with which he was charged. The primer de nied the charge, and said the assault was committed by a man who had rushed in unobserved, and run out again im mediately the prisoner caught sight of him. He said the man was dressed in a Scotch cap, a round jacket, and a light vest. Mr. Hodgson, and the other magistrates on the bench, without as yet pronouncing any opinion on the case, ordered the depositions to be taken. 7 .Lecds Mercury.

Their peculiar properties act so immediately on the system by purifying the blood and invigorating the constitu tion that health and strength are soon restored by their use.

Another new writer from the ranks of the aristo cracy is spoken of as about to make her debut in the literary world ; and it is said that her production is one singularly adapted to meat the religious feeling which has arisen from the recent schism in the Church. 'I he work takes the popular form of the novel, and bears the title of " Sin and Sorrow." It is reported to he a touching exposition of the evils that necessarily follow the development of human pas sion uncontrolled by religion. The author, we understand, is a relative of the Marquis of Sligo, and from her reputation for talent her work is looked for by her numerous friends with considerable interest. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace — We have had fewer buyers than usual since our last report, and the trade may be reported more quiet than for some time past; still stocks are low . , and prices remain in tolerbly stationary. Hosiery—There] is not much doing this market. We have but a very limited demand for the home trade, and not much yet fur the foreign, although a few American orders have been received. We regret to announce a further ad vance on the price of cotton again in Liverpool this week, as it has a most unfortunate effect upon this branch of business, especially in heavy goods.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 21.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Avon, Captain Hest, arrivel this morning at seven o'clock, from the West Indies with the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant South, Ad miralty agent. The Avon on her homeward voyage experienced stormy weather off Nassau, and from thence to Bor muds strong N.E. winds and exceedingly heavy rains. After leaving Bermuda the weather was fine, and she has consequently made a very good vo.) age. The latest dates brought by the Avon are—Vt ra Cruz, March 19; Tampico, 17 ; ivannah, 29 ; Ja thaica, 25; Demerare, 21 ; Trinidad, 23; Barbados, 27; Grenade, 25 ; Porto Rico, 25 ; St. Thomas, 31 ; Bermuda, April 7 ; Mobile Point (New Orleans), March 24 ; Nassau, 31 ; Antigua, 29 ; Martinique, Dominique, and Guadaloupe, 28. The freight brought by the Avon is 233,986 dolls. on merchants' account, 81,505 dolls. fcr the Mexican dividends, 25,286 dolls. in gold dust and gold bars ; 3821. in British coin ; 235 serons of cochineal, 2 ditto .jalapa, 156 half-barrels arrow-root, 37 barrels of ditto, 10,000 varil!a beans, 69 cases of cigars, 46 bales of tobacco, 33 turtle, 69 barrels of new potatoes, 7 cases succade9, and 41 packages sundries. JAMAICA. The Avon has brought us our customary dispatch from our correspondent at Kingston, Jamaica. The steamer left the harbour of that place at daylight on the morning of the 25th March. There is no intel ligence of particular interest. The Right Honourable the Earl of Dundonald, Vice-Admiral of the West'lndia station, left Port Royal, in the ship Wellesley, 74, for Bermuda, a few days before the departure of the steamer. An address was prepared and presented to his Lordship by the in habitants of Kingston, welcoming his Lordship to the island, and at the same time representing to him the inconvenience and injuries that will probably arise from the alteration in the routes of the Royal Mail Company's steamers. Ills Lordship made a suitable reply, and promised to use his official influence for the benefit of the island in respect to the measure. In reference to the subject, on the following day his Lordship addressed a second letter to the Mayor of Kingston, in which he observes : " Marring to our inclosed resolutions, passed at a meeting of the merchants and other inhabitants at the Court-house, on Wednesday, the 26th of December, 1849, I have no doubt that to exclude Jamaica from direct communication with the mother-country, to di minish the number of mails, and convey theta by St. Thomas's, would be injurious to the trade and commerce of this island; that the geographical position of Jamaica points it out as an entrcpot of commerce between Great Britain, Yucatan, Maracaibo, the Northern and Western coasts of South America, the Isthmus of Panama, and Gulpn of Mexico; that Jamaica possesses a harbour of great capacity and convenience, its marginal depth or water at Kingston failitating the coaling of steam vessels, and the debarkation or embarkation of cargo and passengers, without the intervention of boats, and that all kinds of refreshments can be afforded hero to the passengers cud better than at St Thomas's, which is an island destitute of vegetation." His Lordship then proceeds to point out the im policy of the island authorities of Jamaica in sub jecting vessels arriving there to the payment of ton nage dues, and recommends their assimilating their laws in this respect to those of St. Thomas. There were several vessels of war lying in Port Royal. The following is a list :—Ship Itnaum (72), Commander Sandow, with broad pendant of Commo dore T. Bennet; ship Trincomalee (26), Captain R. L. Warren ; brig Helena (16), Commander N. Da Courcy ; brig Sappho (12), Commander the Hon. Lieutenant Cochrane ; brig Persian (12), Com mander A. G. Bullman ; steamer Plumper (6), Commander M. S. Nolloth • schooner Bermuda (2), Commander Jolly ; U. S. ship Raritan (60), Captain The island newspapers contain a report of a case of quite a novel character, recently adjudicated by a Court of Admiralty sessions. It appears that upwards of twenty-six years ago, a person named Klaber in duced an old black woman named Betsey Neilson to proceed with her to Cuba, where, on their ar rival, she sold her into slavery. The old black woman subsequently got her liberty, and after a very long absence returned to Kingston, where she acciden tally met Klabcr. The prisoner was cmvicted, and sentenced to an imprisonment of three years in the penitentiary. The Jamaica Bank had made its usual half-yearly report, which was considered satisfactory by the shareholders. In the parish of Trelawny a very useful associa tion has just been set on foot, called " The Trelawny Joint-stock Agricultural Association." Its objHct is to cultivate the minor products of the soil, and, at the same time, to furnish the means of employment to many at present unemployed. The project has been very highly spoken of by the press. The weather was unchanged, and the island re mained healty. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.—Jamaica B ink, 90 days, par ; 60 days, a per cent. prem.; 30 days, 1 per cent. prem. Colonial Bank, 90 days, per cent. prem. ; 60 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 30 days, 11 per cent. prem. TRINIDAD. The Port of Spain Gazette publishes a detailed se count of a destructive fire which took place at that town on the night of the 7th March. It says : "It is our painful duty to record to-day the most e 35- tensive loss of property, by fire, which has occurred in this town since the memorable conflagration of 1808; but at the same time, with heartfelt gratitude, to return thanks to that Divine Providence which, in its mercy, so signally aided the efforts made for arresting the pro gress of the devouring element; but fir which gracious interposition the whole of the most valuable portion of the busk ets part of the town—the substantial buildings uud the immense amount of property stored in them — must have been consumed to ashes; many of our most prosperous merchants reduced to bankruptcy, and num berless families invotvel in the general beggary and ruin. The loss sustained on this occasion cannot be es tinr,t-J1 at less than 12,0001. sterling. It is divided be tween Dr. Garcia (the owner of the whole of the build ings that have been consumed), Messrs. J. S. Wain wright and Co., Mr. Cra'ldock (proprietor of the Crown and Anchor Hotel), Mr. N. Garcia, Mr. Carrera, Miss Parker, and other owners of retail shops." The news from Mexico by this arrival is not of the slightest importance. At Vera Cruz and Tam pico there is considerable actirity in commercial affairs. At Cuba we learn that the crop of coffee was likely to be a failure. The tobacco crop, on the contrary, would be most abundant. Mr. Bankhead, her Ma jesty's Minister for Mexico, took his departure from the liavannah, in the Medway, on the 26th of March. At Barbadoes nothing worth noticing has trans pired since our last advices. The island was healthy. About one P.M. on Saturday, the 30th March, the town and harbour of Nassau were visited by a sudden squall, termed a " tornado," which scarcely lasted one minute, but during that time it did much damage, having destroyed about fifty houses, tearing up large trees by the roots, &c. Eight persons were killed; one man had his head carried clean off. Many per sons were severely injured; eight or nine are danger ously hurt. Several vessels were sunk and others dismasted in the harbour. At Antigua, the House of Assembly had been specially called together by the Governor, in conse quence of the impossibility of adjourning at the pre vious meeting, owing to the separation of the council before the adjournment was decided upon by the House. A Bill authorising the treasurer to effect a loan of 7,5001. was passed. Mr. B-iker's Bill to pro.. hibit the use of acetate of lead and other poisonous substances in the manufacture of sugar, was read a third time and passed. Mr. Walter's Bill to repeal the Bill for encouraging the introduction of labourers from Madeira, was thrown out by the consent of its introducer, with an understanding that the House would pass a Bill making the period of indenture of such labourers three years, instead of one year, as at present. A message from the Governor was received, intimating his Excellency's intention of visiting Eng land on leave of absence, and informing the House that the general Government would be administered during his absence by the Lieutenant-Governor of S. Kitt's. The house stands adjourned till the 4th of April, when it is expected his Excellency will pro rogue the Legislature previous to his departure for England. The weather during the last week had been fa vourable to vegetation. The late long-continued drought had been most severely felt. The scarcity of grass and water had been so great that in many places the cattle had died for want of food. The Jamaica Dispatch, of the 25th of March, has an account of the wreck of the Clarence, from Liver pool to New Orleans. Tier commander (Captain James Mitchell) is said to have been accidentally drowned on the Bth of February, when the mate took charge of the ship. Being short of water she neared Port Maria, in Jamaica, and got a boat on shore, and in trying to get near the shore to meet the boat, she missed stays, and was totally wrecked near Castle Gordon. The crew and their effects were saved. An accident attended with loss of life occurred at Demerara on the Bth of March. The royal mail steamer Eagle, with the mails, on going out of the harbour, run foul of the schooner Tay, and so injured her that she filled and sank in a few moments. The Tay had a large number of passengers on board, and, notwithstanding that immediate assistance was rendered, three or four lives were lost. Captain Ras• tarrick is fully acquitted of all blame. The British iron brig Josephine, of Liverpool, was on the bar at Tampico. ' the cargo saved. A small steamer atid two barques (Americans), en route to California, put info . Bermuda in distress. The . English schooner, SeofS , aodd, of Newcasqe, Ellis, master, bound to Cork or Falmouth, was run down in the Bay of Biscay on the night of the, 6th February last, by the Eaglish barque Ivanhoe, of Liverpool, and brought to the Havannah 26th March, all hands saved. The English schooner, Return, of Halifax, was totally lost near Marie!, 15 miles west of Havannah, within twelve hours after leaving port.. Foreign Vessels of War—Lll at Havannah : The American frigate Raritan, Commodore Parkar ; American schooner Flirt ; Sparel,h brig Isabel IL, Spanish ship Soherano, Spanish corvette Colon; Louis Ferdinand, 2I guns, sailed March 27. Stations of her Majesty's Ships—Sappho, Persian, Plumper, Vixen, and Bermuda, at Jamaica. Trin comalee and Alarn4 at Barbadoes. Wellesley (Vice- Admiral the Earl Dundonald), at Bermuda. No English ship-of-war in the Gulf of Mexico or Havannsh. Stations of the Company's Steam-Ships—The Great Western, Captain Wolfe, at Havannah, bound to Jamaica; the Tay, Captain Chapman, down the Spanish Main ; the Medway, Captain Simmons, sailed from Havannah 28th March, for Vera Cruz; the Clyde, Captain Moss, arrived at Bermuda sth April, from St. Thomas's ; the Conway, Captain Woolley, arrived at St. Thomas's 31st 111-trch; the Eagle, Captain Restarick, at Barbadoes. JAMAICA MARKETS. GENERAL REMARKS.—Since the publication of our postcript issued on the 16th instant, for the American steamer Crescent City, no new features of any moment bave been apparent in the condition of the market. In deed we may report business as being unusually dull, the trade supplying themselves only as their stacks be come exhausted. With the exception of the dispo!al of two cargoes of Halifax fish, the business transacted since the 16th has been trifling and unimportant ; but prices generally rule high, while the consumption of many articles has, in consequence, been considerably restricted. The stocks of all articles of every day use are fully ample for the confined demand, especially of fish, of which there are now three cargoes in the market unsold, and of breadstuffs which remain in large quantities on the hands of importers. Our stock of East India and Caro lina Rico is, however, very low ; there is not any in first hands, but it does not appear that the deficiency cf this article has called any other into more active consump tion. The abundance of our native vegetables un doubtedly affects the sale of foreign breadstuffs. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTION FOR SUCCESSFUL CRUIZING AGAINST SLAvoits.—Lieutenant Stephen Smith Lowther Crof ton (1842), in command of the Rifleman, screw schooner, ou the coast of Brazil, has been promoted 'to the rank of commander for his gallant, indefatigable, and successful services against the slave-trade in the neighbourhood of Rio, his last capture having been that of a steamer, the Providen tie, which had previ ously escaped all the fast cruisers on the west coast of Africa, and hack landed many thousands of slaves in a very short period of time. The Contest, 12, Com mander WiNiurdo, all but captured her on one occa sion. Commander Crofton entered the navy, Novem ber, 1831 ; passed his examination June, 1833 ; served as mate of the Wellesley, 72, in the attack on the batteries and defences of Amoy, August, 1841, and commanded the ship's pinnace at the reduction of Chinghase Was promoted January, 1842, and as a lieutenant before his appointment to the Rifleman, served in the Devastation, steam-sloop, for some time as additional of the Howe, 120. We are glad to find that the Admiralty are at length beginning to turn a deaf ear to the complaints of the Brazilians against naval officers for their too great activity in suppressing the slave-trade ; and that, instead of trying them by court-martial, or placing them on their black list, for doing their duty ho nestly and zealously, they are determined to give them every encouragement by promoting them. Let the Government only show the slave owners at Brazils, and the slave-dealers on the coast of Africa, that they are determined to take full ad vantage of the powers they possess, by existing treaties, to put down the slave-traffic—that they will no longer listen to stories from commanders-in-chief, derived from slavc-awnera and slaver-captains; that they will not henceforth allow commanders of any of her Majesty's cruisers to give up their c thins to, or to make boon companions of captured captains of sl:tv,:rs, under any circumstances whatever ; let them show by the promotion of officers who have rendered themselves obnoxious to the Brazilians by their gal lantry, zeal, and success in ferreting out, harassing, and capturing the slave-ships, empty or full, that they are really desirous of putting down the slave-trade, and we shall soon hear of a very large falling-off in the inhuman traffic, and of very few eleven} escaping the vigilance of our cruisers. We trust that the gal lant commander of the Rifleman has not been pro moted fee the purpose of superseding him, but that the complaints of the Brazilian slave-dealers will be considered as additional recommendations to official favour, and that he will be continued in command of his vessel, to follow up with greater zeal that success which every day's experience on the coast of Brazil must ensure to an officer of his intelligence, spirit, and determination.—Herald. APPOINTMENTS. Caramander Jonas Archer Abbott, appointed a few days since to the Coast-guard service, is to be in command of Westport district, vice George Augustus Henry, to the Southend district, vice Grant, deceased. - Lieutenant William Frederick Gloucester Feed has been removed from St. Alban's Head Coast-guard station to No. 2 Battery (Folkestone), vice Mr. James Connolly, whose appointment has been cancelled. Lieutenant E. R. Power (1839) has recently been appointed agent to the transport about to proceed with stores for the Arctic ships. We trust that this officer, who commanded the Locust steamer, in the Mediterranean, will be lucky encugh to get his pro motion on his return. If so, he will be more fortu nate than Lieutenant E. Griffiths (1815), now ap pointed, at an advanced period of life, superintendent of liberated Africans at St. Helena, who was the last naval officer in this country who had communication with Sir John Franklin, Lieutenant Griffiths having proceeded in charge of the Beretta Junior transport, with the Franklin expedition to the Whale Fish blends, with stores. Lieutenant Griffiths, during his many years of active service in the war, suffered shipwreck, and was severely wounded in one of the sharp actions in which he was engaged. Second Master—John G. Anderson (1843), of the Athol, to the Resistance troop-ship. Midshipmen—Charles Vyvyan, to the Encounter screw-corvette, squadron of exercise ; A. O. Fulton, to the Conflict screw-sloop, squadron of exercise. Naval Cadets —William L. Bridges, to the En counter; A. G. R. Bee, to the Conflict; H enry L. Percival, to the Indefatigable, squadron of exercise. Masters' Assistant —D. 0. Burdwood, to the Southampton, 50, flsg.ship, Mont e Vid eo. Gunner, George Corney ; boatswain, John Grigg, carpenter, John Burton ( actin g) , to the Resistance troop-ship. We regret to hear that Vice-Admiral Curry is dangerously ill at Devonport. The gallant officer, we believe, is now at a very advanced age ; he com manded a bomb-vessel in the expedition to Egypt. Commander Christopher William Betty (1332), on the retired list of 1816, died at Cawsand, April 7, at at advanced age. This gallant officer, who served 16 years afloat during the war, entered the navy, Aug. 1, 1793, as A. B , in the Invincible, 74 ; as midship man in the Majestic, 74, was in Lord Howe's action, June 1, 1794 ; in the Mars, 82 guns, 634 men, was present, April 21, 1798, at the capture, off Brest, of the French ship H., , rcule, of 78 guns and 680 men, after a deadly yard-arm and yard-arm conflict of more than an hour's continuance, during which the British sustained a loss of 30 killed and GO wounded, and the enemy of nearly 400 killed and wounded, Was promoted as a reward for his meritorious conduct on the above occasion to a lieutenancy, September 17th, 1801, in the Atlas, 98; was on board the Dreadnought, 98, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Coiling. wood, and was slightly wounded in the ensuing battle of Trafalgar. Not having been employed since August 1813, he at length accepted the retired rank, April 4th, 1832. Paymaster and Purser Thomas Brett (1809) died a few days since, at Penzance, Cornwall. THE BOATS FOR CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S ARCTIC Ex- PEDITION.—The four boats built.by Mr. White, of Cowes, for Captain Austin's ship, Were received in Portsmouth-yard on Thursday last, and probably will be sent round to Woolwich in the early part of this week in the Echo steam-tug. They are all beautifully formed boats (something between a whale and a paddle box boat), built as life-boats, with hollow and water tight sides, from the gunwale to the upper ends of the fore timbers. They are carvel built outside, with a diagonal frame inside. Two of these boats are 30 feet each, fitted to pull ten double-banked oars; the other two are 27-feet boats, fitted for eight double banked oars. They are all sharp at both ends, and have a spring, like whale-boats, and are fitted like whale boats, with a strong upright bit for towing or veering line, in the operation of taking whales. Around the gun whale out,ide battens are fitted for mu' to hold on to, in case of their being thrown out of the boat; and also along the bilge of each boat battens are also fitted for men to hold on in case of the boats being caps;zed. The air-trunks on each side these boats are fitted in a similar way to those fitted in life-boats. The Sharpshooter sere x-shooner, Lieutenant-Com mander Bailey, is still at Devonport. The Somerset House surveyors have returned to London ; but there is a quarrel between the commander and the master shipwright, which will most likely have to be settled by the Admiralty. The Superb, 60, C.apta'n Purcell, will be paid down six months to-morrow, in Plymouth Sound, and her new hands will be paid advance. The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, is ordered home from the West Indies to be paid off. She has been in commission since July, 1847. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, has now her engino completed, and steam was got up for a few hours on Saturday. She has taken on board some coal, is rigged, and will probably be taken out of the new steam-basin at Ports mouth to try her engines at Spithead about Thursday next. Should her engines and new boilers prove all right, she will, after her trial, go into the old basin to be gilded and painted. THE DOCKYARD?.—The Admiralty have ordered that officers in the Royal Dockyards who may desire to have gas lights in their official residences, are not to claim the right of being supplied at the rate con tracted for by the Government for lighting the estab lishment, but they are to make their own private ar rangements as to price with the gas companies. Inti mation has been given to all the dockyards that the Rev. Mr. Moseley will visit the establishments in May next, for the purpose cf examining the schools and selecting the pupils for the Central Mathematical School at Portsmouth. The number of men at Portsmouth factory is ordered to be still further reduced—the strength is not to exceed 480. Mr. Dotterell's tender for the or dinary repairs of the buildings of Portsmouth yard has been accepted. Dr. James Clerk, assistant surgeon, died, at his re sidence, at the Royal Naval Hospital, Ireland Island, on the 28th ult. MALTA, APRIL 12. —A melancholy event occurred on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus on the day of her arrival in port. Dr. Macdonald, an officer of the Madras service, who, after thirty-one years' service, was returning home, was struck by a fit of apoplexy on the morning of the 10th inst., and in two hours expired. His :remains were interred yesterday morning in the Lazaretto. The wife and two sons of deceased were on board when the melancholy event occurred. The Volage left port yesterday to resume her sur veys in the waters of Candia. The Triton, with mails from the lonian I,lands and Greece, arrived yesterday. The French steamer from Beyrout and Alexandria, by which duplicate papers from India are not unfrc quently received, has not yet been telegraphed. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Locust steam-vessel, which arrived on Friday night from the Mediterra nean, has proceeded to Woolwich to be paid off. wood, l'h ordered Vengeance, home 84, m e from Captainte Mediterranean, Sr - be paid off at this port. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain W. 11. Hall, is ordered home from the Mediterranean to be paid off. The expedition now fitting out by Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York, to go in search of Sir John Franklin, will be ready to sail by the Ist of May. It consists f two vessels, called the Advance and Rescue, which are to be fully equipped, guarded, and strergthened in the most complete manner against the ice, and provisioned for a two years' voyage. They are to search the shores of Wellington's-inlet and Cape - Walker for copper canisters which Sir John Franklin was instructed to throw overboard enclosing notes of his voyages. Mr. Grinnell heads the list of subscriptions for this object with 30,000 dollars. There is some expectatirm that Lady Franli 'n will visit America before the expedition start t is to be under the command of Lieutenants de aven and Griffin. _ The Simoon new steam-frigate, of 2,000 tow, built of iron, and with screw power of 350 horses, is daily expected at this port from Glasgow, in tow of the Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, to be placed in the steam-basin. She is rated only as an 18. gun corvette. his reported that the crew of the Crocodile troop ship, lately bearing the Eta. of Rear-Admiral Dixon, at Qlpenstown, are ordered to be turned over to the steam-ship Ajax, 60, at this port, which is destined as the fl hg-ship on the above station in future. Letters from the Rattler screw-sloop, Commander Cumming, of Ambriz, west coast of Africa, dated February 22, announce her capture of a fine with 550 slaves on board. _ _ Letters from the Pluto steam-vessel, Lieut. Joliffe, of Ambriz, dated the 14th of Ft bruary, announce her capture of a fine slaver lug of 180 tons, fitted for the traffic, but having no slaves on board. The schooner yacht Circassian hauled out of Haslar lake yesterday, in order to prepare for her voyage to St. Petersburgh, being sold to a Russian nobleman. The out-pension of Greenwich Hospital,relinquished by Captain Sparshott, has been bestowed on Captain Richard Pridham. Mr. Fulton, Master-Commander of the Hercules store-ship, it is understood, will succeed to the Master Attendant ship of Malta dockyard shortly. Mr. John Baker, inspector of caulkers in this dock yard, to be foreman ; Mr. W. Ray, leading man, to be inspector. PLYMOUTII, APRIL 19.—The sails of her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, were bent yesterday, preparatory to going into the Sound. The packet-brig Petrel, having been repaired and coppered, was taken out of dock on Wednesday, and the packet Seagull was placed in dock for examination and repair. The merchant-barque Rawlings, Captain Daid, of and from London for Quebec, came in this afternoon, having received considerable damage when off the Dodman in thick weather, at one o'clock this morn ing. She was in stays, when a large full-rigged ship reaching in, with her port tacks aboard, attempted to pass under the barque's stern, but her jib-boom caught the lee-leach of the barque's mainsail, and carried away the miz?n topmast and rigging, and mainbooni, tore her main and mizen sails, and fetching a sliding blow on the barque's port-quarter, broke down her bulwarks, and stanchions quarter-badge, steering wheel, binnacle, &c., and did other serious damage to her stern. The ship is supposed to be the Emigrant, which left this port yesterday fore Moreton-bay. Wind S.W. ; thick. WOOLWICH, APRIL 20.—The Stromboli steam sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, is or dered to come round to Woolwich, and is expected to accompany the vessels of Captain Austin's Arctic expedition to the edge of the ice. The Stromboli was employed on similar service when Captain Sir James Clarke Ross's expedition left fur the Arctic regions in May, 1848. SAILING OF THE FIRS7' STEAIII-SHIP BE TWEEN GLASGOW AND NEW YORK. The following is a fuller report of the sailing of this vessel than appeared in The Sun of Thursday : GREENOCK, TUESDAY.—At 20 minutes past two o'clock the first steamer, the City of Glasgow, in tended to connect the Clyde with New York, started on her first trip from the Broomielaw. The event gave occasion to something like a holiday in the city, and it is computed that fully 100,000 people lined the banks, and the good ship got under weigh amidst the booming of guns, the strains of music, and the most enthusiastic cheering from the shore. After getting clear of the narrow part of the river, the steamer proceeded down the Clyde at the rate of 10f knots an hour, although the pressure was only at the rate of ,71b. upon the square inch. On reaching the " Tail of the Bank," below Greenock, a select party of ladies and gentlemen, who had accompanied their friends down the river, left the ship by the pilot boat, and the City got up full steam, and went right out to sea, after a round of parting cheers. A painful instance occurred just as the ship was leaving the Broomielaw. A sheriff's officer appeared with a judge's warrant, and took a young lady into custody, at the instance of her brother, for debt. The lady protested that it was an infamous case of oppression, but as there was no opportunity of taking the case before a magistrate, she was com pelled to accompany the officer amidst the sympathy of all who witnessed the scene. The City carries 110 passengers, amongst whom are the Hon. Adam Ferrie, one of the members of the C median Legislative Council, and his lady. There are 52 first cabin passengers, at 20 guineas each, and 58 at 12 guineas each. Amongst them are upwards of 30 ladies. She is expected to make the passage in fifteen or sixteen days. This ship was commenced to be built only in August last, and she is already off to sea; while the Simoon frigate, the building of which commenced four years ago, has not left the Clyde. Such is the difference between public and private enterprise. The ship is as strong as iron plates, bars, straps, and rivets can make her, and she is divided into five water-tight compartments, which would secure her against Almost every contingency 9f occident, except ing that of being' ' thrown bodily upon the rocks. But, to avert any rida of this kind, a gentleman has been ergaged as commander who should know the course between Great Britain and America almost as well as if milestones had been placed along the road, viz., Capt. Mathewa, who has crossed the Atlantic 90 times as an officer, and 26 of these as commander of the favourite Great Western—a gentleman who, by the testimony of all who sailed with him. is entitled to the character of " every inch a seaman." The hands to be directed by this able head appear to make up a very adequate complement—these being in all devoted exclusively to the business of the ship, first, second, and third officers, twenty seamen, four engineers, nine firemen, and five apprentices ; while to minister to the wants of the passengers there are twelve stewards, two steward esses, one baker, one cook, four assistants, a band of musicians, with brass and stringed instruments, and lastly a doctor, with an ample medicine chest—a functionary, however, who is in the meantime kept in the background, fo it is not conceived that any one can be or should be ill when so many appliances are at hand to keep him well. It is worth while to mention, to the credit of Messrs. Tod and 11Legregor and the captain, that the crew is truly a picked one, consisting of able and experienced, and mostly mar ried men, belonging to the port of Glasgow, who have bean made well aware that steady conduct will ensure encouragement and permanence of situation, but that negligence or a single case of drunkenness on duty will cause the forfeit of everything. After accommodating the passengers the ship has room for 1,000 tons of cargo, which is already occu pied by manufactured goods, the product of Glasgow. Wrought iron, we observe, formed no small portion ef it. She also carries 400 tons of coal, but has the advantage of being bark-rigged, with which she shows she can bear heavy canvass and sail fast. As we have formerly stated, the ship has beam engines of 350-horse power, a screw of 13 feet diameter, with a pitch of no less than 18 feet. To make all safe as precaution can make it, we may mention that the City carries six boats, viz., two life-boats, two cutters, and two gigs, which in all are commodious enough to carry 200 persons. The state rooms are entered from the saloon by lobbies, which are fitted up with patent lamps, enclosed in glass cases. Each lamp lights a lobby and two state rooms, and is placed under lock and key. The berths in the first class are fitted up with beautiful Tournay curtains, with fringe and silk hangings. Each state room contains two berths, with sofa, marble basin stand, gilt mirror, and every convenient requisite for comfort and cleanliness. There are also two large state rooms, containing four berths each, which can be let as family rooms. They are di- vided with damask curtains. The ladies' cabin communicates with the saloon, and has also a separate entrance to the main deck : it is fitted up with rosewood sofas, covered with crimson Utrecht velvet, and contains eight berths, adorned with silk curtains, gilt mirrors, &c. The bulkheads and ceil ing are painted white and gold, with ornamented panels of fruit and flawers. Each passenger has drawers for clothes and other necessaries, furnished with separate keys. Ia the entrance lobby to the saloon is situated the captain's cabin ; and on the other side is the steward's bar, fitted up with racks for crystal, china, stone ware, &c., and glass cases for containing silver plate, of which there is a large supply. The main deck forms an unbroken promenade, se cure from all weather, of upwards of 130 feet, along which are placed ranges of state rooms. Abaft the funnel are placed first-class rooms, fitted up in every respect similar to the saloon berths. Before the fun nel are situate the second-class state rooms, done up with mahogany stfas, covered witdahair cloth, which turn up to form beds, each room acapivmodating four passengers. There is here also a ladies'.cabin, with , a, te4i, separate entrance, and also some fatnil:arooms, con taining eight berths. In the centie, tween the funnel and the fore hatch, and enclosed by damask curtains, is a clear space of 46 by 16f feet, Vahich is fitted up as a dining saloon for second•class pas sengers, and is capable of accommodating between 60 and 70 persons. The requisities of hQ, cold, and-, shower bath are of course amply supplied:, We lock upon this enterprise wah corisidefable in terest. It is an effort to combine a reasonabe degree of speed with certainty and cheapness, and it is in tended to link the west of Scotland with the principal seaport of the New World. We may expect in due course to see tourists taking advantage of the City of Glasgow for a pleasure trp to the United States, in the same way as they have hitherto made a voyage along the Rhine or a run to the Highlands of Scot land ; and there is little doubt that the same facilities and moderate scale of charge will induce our Yankee friends to extend their personal acquaintance with the land of their fathers. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY. TIMES.—Some little time back the controversy with regard to Sir James Brooke's operations in B ernes appeared to have been set at rest for ever. The disgraceful outcry raised against him here in London had so evidently told against its originators that we had hoped henceforward to have passed over in silence any repetition of such attacks. We are compelled, however, by the debate that took place on Friday night in the house of Lords, once again to return to a controversy which ought to have been long since concluded in the mind of every reasonable man. In the course of a discussion that took place upon the repeal of the " Pirates' Head-Money " Bill. Lord Eilentorough took advantage of the occasion to re commence the attack upon Sir James Brooke in just such a manner as might have been expected from the character and past history of the man. The Samson of Somnauth is, it appears, incredulous as to the policy of any future warlike operations in the East, even although these operations should be confined to the putting down a gang of pirates and establishing an insular post for our commerce off the island of Borneo. With a singular inconsis tency he attacks Sir James Brooke on two grounds. In the first place, we are told by Lord Ellenborough, —" it was said a company was formed to work the mines of coal Labuan contained. Whether such a company had ever been formed he could ,not say, but this he knew, that no company had yet worked any mines there. It was utterly useless to England, but it was not useless to those who, like Sir James Brooke, were spcuiating in Borneo.' " This accu sation, however congenial it might have been to the atmosphere of other centres of attack against Sir James Brooke, was little fitted to find favour with an assembly of English gen tlemen. In reply, Earl Grey showed the House that the object of Lord Ellenborough's attack "had sacrificed much of his fortune in the great enter prises which he had undertaken for suffering humanity. lie likewise greatly feared that Sir James Brooke had endangered not only his property but his most valuable life." The feeling of the House, and the force of conviction, were too strong for Lord Ellen borough, and he was compelled to retract his first accusation ; but, in the true PArthian spirit, even in his flight, he endeavoured to let fly a shaft at the man of whose Eastern reputation he probably entertains a jealousy—for, certainly, no two men ever produced two such different results in those distant regions as Lord Ellenborough and Sir James Brooke ; the one with all the resources of the British empire at his dis posal, the other subjected to the hard conditions of a single-handed fight. Forced to retract his unwarranted charge by the indignant clamour of the assembly before which it was uttered, see the terms in which the recantation was made " He had not intended on this occasion to enter into any discussion on the conduct and character of Sir J. Brooke. He would say candidly of him that he (Lord Ellenborough) thought him (Sir J. Brooke) a great, generous, and romantic English gentleman. Why, then, accuse him almost in the same breath of being actuated by the most sordid and contemptible motives ? Why charge this " great, generous, and romantic English gentleman" with the desire of in creasing the balance at hie banker's by pushing the Horne Government on to a scheme of colonization hurtful to the public interests—of benefit to no one but himself ? Why leave it to be inferred from the whole tenour of his speech that the recent warlike operations on the Bornean coast were planned by this senti mental Quixote for the ultimate benefit of his own inter ests? We are prepared for contradictions in the character of the most remarkable men, but never yet did such an anomaly exist as a union in the salts e person of the qualities ascribed by L ord Ellenborough to Sir James Brooke. Let the ac cused be judged by results, and we are sure it will be found that Lord Ellenborough is as utterly mistaken in haulsge r a a s s in his accusation ; in the manner of hip the unjustifiable expression which rendered some lv kind of apology an absolute , e have now before us a file of th Singapore _Free Press, which seems t o have l furnished Earl Grey with the leading fact s of his speech Friday night. From this, as well a 3 fruits other on sources, we learn that the signal chast i sement inflicted upon the p i ra ti ca l hordes beenh as attended with com pl e t e u o ss . The pirate s of Sarehas and Saka rran have s , en c t e 'i n a deputation praying for mercy, and engaging themselves to abandon their evil ways. From Tanjong Daku to Malladu Bay—a distance of five hundred miles—unarmed merchant vessels and native prahus for the first time pass safely to And fro. A few years "A few, - a very few years ago, no European merchant vessels ventured on the N.W. coast of Borneo; now they are numerous and sef.?; formerly shipwrecked crews were a'tscked, robbed, and enslaved, now they are pro• tected, fed, and forwarded to a place of security. Five years ago there was no safety for the white man, and no white man visited the towns on the coast; now, from the Sultan of 13runi; to his meanest subjk ct, from the Lanun Sultan Ss Tabolc to the least amongst his pirate f..dlowerF, not a finger is dared to be raised against the life or property of an English man; the flag of England commands the respect which is its due, and her subject ; receive the protection to which they are fully entitled, a n d may t ra d e or re .id e amongst the natives without f ear or w i t h out d anger. Th e native trade now passes with careless confidence over the sery same track between Mallulu and Singapore, %here, but a little while ago it was liable to the peril of capture ; the crews of hundreds of prah us are no l onge r exposed to the loss of life or the l oss of liberty., and a d e gree of security now reigns so remarkably, so strikingly contrasted with the insecurity of past times, that we may well be tempted onward in a career recom mended by policy and tested by experience." The writer in the Singapore Free Press contrasts the past with the present condition of affairs. He mentions the detention of the English men and women, the enslavement of the I'idian Lascars of the ship Sultana by the Sultan of Brut 6, and by Sheriff Oiinan of Mall.idu Bay, the plunder of a stranded vessel by the latter, the attack on the boats of the ship Melbourne off Barram, and the attempts to capture the boats of her Majesty's ship Dido off the island of Sirhassan. We mention these particu lar facts, as they may serve to quiet the scruples of the captious gentlemen who ask tor specific instances of the attacks of these piratical hordes upon British subjects. It is satisfactory to find that the colony c f Labuan is now progressing, and that the apprehen sions which had at first been entertained of the un healthiness of the station have been completely set at rest. The climate for six months of the year is described as delightful, and for the other six months much the same as Singapore. The fever has been throughout limited to the plain which bounds the harbour, and is disappearing before drainage. The stationary population of the settle ment now consists of about 700 or 800 souls ; tie shifting population varies from 300 to 1,000. The hospitals are empty, and the returns show that the average number of deaths is about the same as in London. The revenue of the island, direct and indi rect, is estimated already at one-third of its expenses ; and, as the first sale of land has gone off with success, and the erection of the new town is rapidly proceed ing, there is good hope that within a reasonable time this important settlement will pay its own way. The Chinese merchants are moving in a body from Brune to Labuan, so that all circum stances unite to inspire us with cheerful expec tations of the result of this great experiment in the Eastern seas. Let us add, in conclusion, upon the same authority—and we observe the state ment was adopted by Earl Grey—that whereas the price of coal in Singapore, as ascertained at Somerset-house, was 335. per ton, at Labuan it can be laid down on the beach for ss. per ton. It is asserted, moreover, that there are at least 100,000 tons of coal within 500 yards of the seashore, and a sufficient supply for years can be obtained within a circumference of half a mile. Such, then, are some of the first fruits of the Quixotism of " the romantic Englishman"— the freedom of the Esstern seas from piracy, and the establishment of a flourishing settle ment, which will, in all probability, be the means of giving a strong impetus to British commerce. There is but one drawback to this intelligence, which is, that Sir James Brooke, the main author of so much good, the guardian and protector of the peaceful natives against the attacks of the piratical hordes, is represented to be himself suffering in health. That so valuable a life may long be spared, and that he may in due time return amongst us to receive the rewards of his gallantry and humanity, must be , tie prayer of every true-hearted Englishman. S,,;;:sisstoerr as Sir James Brooke are an honour to their country and their age—unhappily they are too few in number. THE EXHIBITION OF 1851. Her Majesty's Commissioners for promoting the exhibition of 1851 haying had several questions put to them as to the mode in which articles of different kinds, the produce of the same manufacturer, will be and as to the possibility of keeping to gether the productions of particular towns and dis tribtsr.and on other points closely connected with the foregoing, have resolved upon publishing the following statement, explanatory of the principles by which they will be guided in such matters. They have already stated, in the paper published for the guidance of foreign exhibitors, that it will be necessary that the productions of all nations should be exhibited together, according to the nature of the article exhibited, and not according to the na'ure of its origin ; but that, wherever it can be done without disturbing the harmony of the whole, the scvtral articles falling within any particular section shall be, as far as possible, arranged according to the nation of which they are the produce. They propose to apply precisely the same principle to the articles exhibited by British manufacturers. The harmony of the whole exhibition will be the leading consideration, and it will be impossibe to admit of any local or individual arrangements which would materially disturb it ; but the Commissioners are sensible of the great advan tages to be derived from arrangements made under the inspection of the party exhibiting, and will give every facility for their adoption within such limits as will prevent confusion in the general classification. Any manufacturer exhibiting articles which can pro perly be placed together according to the classification already announced will be at liberty to arrange such articles in his own way ; and his arrangements, if compatible with the convenience of other exhibitors and of the public, will not be disturbed. In like manner, if it be wished to exhibit together the pro ductions of a particular town or district, all such productions, if they can fairly be said to be of the same sort, will be admitted together. The decision whether they are so admissible or not must of course rest in each case with the discretion of the Commis sioners. Having stated the principles on which they will proceed in arriving at it, they need not go into more detail at the present time. They may add, however, that where it is desired to exhibit processes of manufacture, a sufficient number of articles, how ever dissimilar, will be admitted for the purpose of illustrating the process; but they must not exceed what may be actually required with that object. In all cases where the productions of an indi vidual are exhibited together, his wishes with regard to the treatment them will be complied with as far as poss of ible ; but should they be of a nature to involve additional expense, the Commissioners cannot undertake to meet that expense out of their funds, but must call upon the exhibitor to defray it himself. Glass cases, frames and stands of peculiar construc tion, and similar contrivances for the display or pro tection of the goods exhibited, must in like manner be provided by the person requiring them at his own cost. lie will also be at the charge of insuring his own goods, should he desire this security. The Com missioners take this opportunity of stating that, how ever careful they may be in the construction of the building, it will be quite impossible to erect one of the required dimensions which shall be absolutely fire-proof; and although every precaution will be taken to prevent fire, and to extinguish it should it unfortunately occur, the Commissioners cannot be responsible for losses which may be occasioned by this or any other accident over which they have no control. The Commissioners will provide for the general security and police of the exhibition ; but should own to exhibitor desire to employ a servant ofhis do so after obtaining preserve or keep in order the article he exhibits,ow.or. to o explain them to visitors, he may to invite Such persona, permission from the Commissio b n i er d s e . n however, will in all cases be for visi tors to purchase the goods otfemployers ; and lead to their exclusion any violation of this rule must being intended for from the building, the exhibitioniand not for those of sale. the purpose of display , only, theird Commissioners have decided For the same reason the that prices are not t o be affixed to the articles ex hibited.
