LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF .BANICRUPTCY, Sept. 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner Farm) IN RE JONES EXPARTE GLASS. The Learned Commissioner proceeded to hear further argu ments in this case. The preliminary points appeared in The Sun Monday—the decision is very important to tlikt com mercial world. The defendant was the drawer of a bill of exchange which had been dishonoured, and the present application was on a summons under the late Act of Bankruptcy, which declares that ai.y person being summoned for a debt and not paying the same, or denying on affidavit his liability, might be declared to have committed an act of bankruptcy. The affidavit of debt in this case did not set out that due notice of dishonour of the bill had been given, and that therefore no debt arose, and that defendant was not bound to answer. In reply, it was urged that the affidavit was sufficient in cases where parties were called upon to put in bail, and consequently to call upon him to answer whether he owed the debt or not. At the original hearing, the Learned Commissioner said that the case of hail was not different from this, as by this proceed ing the whole property might he taken under a fiat of bank ruptcy. The Judges had held, that where a question arose as to the liberty of the subject, the person setting the law in motion ought to substantiate his right. He considered that in such a case as this he was bound to require equal proof. He, therefore, adjourned the hearing till cases were produced. After hearing a very prolonged argument, The Learned COMMISSIONER declined enforcing the sum mons unless more distinct cases were brought forward. SECONDARIES' COURT, Sept. 3. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) BARRETT V. TILT. This WAS an action brought on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be the acceptor. Mr. RYLAND, who appeared for the plaintiff, said there vvers two material pleas on the record ; first, that defendant never accepted the bill ; and, secondly. that it had been altered since acceptance. It would, however, be in fact admitted that the signature was that of the defendant ; and the real question to try was, whether there had been any alteration sifter the time it was so signed. He would be able to show that it had be, n originally dated the sth, but in consequence of the defendant having other bills coming due, he requested to have it altered ; and it was so altered the next day, to the Bth of June ; the alterition was so palpable that there could be no concealment or attempt at fraud, for the alteration was made not only with the consent and knowledge, but actually at the suggestion of the defendant. Mr. CROUCH, for the defendant, contended that no bill could be altered after once made, although all parties consented. Mr. RYLAND said not after it had been out ; but here the alteration was made before acceptance. Mr. Caou cis argued that the alteration of the date made the bill invalid, as the time had been extended ; and it therefore required another stamp. file SECONDARY said, to support the argument, it must be shown the bill had been out to some purpose; the mere carry ing it back from acceptor to drawer was not sufficient. Mr. CROUCH submitted that the alteration was in itself a fraud on the revenue ; and he further contended, that the bill was invalid, as it bore the date of a Sunday. Mr. Barnett Joseph, who had discounted the bill for defend ant himself, spoke to the acceptance, and had no doubt of its being dated correctly. He would swear he had never altered it. It was not discounted on the 6th or 7th. From the evening of the 6th to the evening of the 7th was his fiabbath, and lie would swear positively he never transacted business then. He discounted it on the Bth. The bill was dated the Bth. "tr. Caoucti then addressed the jury for the defendant, and contens;:bd that the witness was not deserving of credit, and that the bill on the faae of it showed that the alteration had been merle stihsequently to the original date ; and that, in fact, the bill had not been presented in due time, and the date was al tered afterwards to give time. The Learned Counsel also de clared that the bill had been presented, and altered after pre mutation. The SECONDA av said that an alteration after presentment could not be a fraud on the revenue. Me. Rare.% n sail the two lines of defence were irrecon cilable. Mr. CRoucH said if the bill had, for a particular purpose, born Altered after presentment, the fraud was the same as though a had been altered before, or greater, as it became an entire new instrument, renewing a liability which had gone by. The Secolsoasty said before he could be called on to give an opinion, the mode and time of alteration must be shown. Mr. Foster, the first indorser of the bill, was called, and swore he indorsed it on the 6th, and that it then bore date the btil of June. The SEcoNoa al , summed up, and said the evidence was contsailictory, and the question for the jury was, whether they he;ieved the alteration had been made after the acceptance. The jary found for the plaintiff. lkfr. Cstooen moved that the writ should be retained. SECONDARY said the question of law had riot arisen ; but even if it had, he was against the argument. The ques tion was one of fact for the jury, and he was bound by their vend is t. There was a second action pending against the witness Joseph, Lut not triod. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HO USE. Thomas Taverner and William Sassons, journeymen car penters, were charged under the 4th of George IV., cap. 34, st e .1, with misconduct in the execution of a contract entered into aith their employer, Mr. Greenwood, of No. 10, Arthur street West. Alderman Moon sat fur the Lord Mayor. Air. Greenwood stated that he had been engaged to put in a shop front in a house in Pope's Head-alley. 'Fhe prisoners were in his employment, and had been directed to perform the work. Ppon going to the house he found them intoxicated, and it was ascertained that they had got into that condition in the cellar of a neighbour of the owner of the house. The shop trout was completely pulled out and exposed, and lelt in that condition. Witness paid them weekly. It was ascertained that the prisoners had gone into the, cellar of Mr. Leathwaite, in Pope's Head-alley, and made free with several bottles of wine which had been lately deposited there ; that half a dozen empty bottles had appeared in the place of full (mos, to the astonishment of the policeman, who designated their drunkenness as a " most mysterious intoxication," before he found that clue to its meaning. '1 he prisoners, who bad thus committed the two offences, of misconduct with respect to their contract with their master, asuet robbery of Mr. Leathwaite, had nothing to say in pallia tion but that they had been really drunk, were sentenced to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month. Jahn Haygart, a journeyman baker, in the employment of r. Farlasse, baker, Jewry- street, Aldgate, was charged *older the same Act with having spoiled a gate as bread. The prisoner had been taken into the service of the pro seee,nr as foreman, and had not only got tipsy in his work, and burned a batch of bread, but actually laughed at the mischief he committed. A respectable baker, of Coleman-street, who called at Mr. Nl•Farlane's house, and saw the condition of the bread, stated that the batch was quite spoiled. The prisoner said in his defence that he had a great nunber of customers to supply, and there never had been made any ceinpta,:nt whatever of his skill or attention to business. Alderman MooN said it would appear as if the Act of Par liament were not known to be in operation at all, judging from the innumerable breaches of contract which daily occurred. lie hoped the press would let journeymen and labourers know that i hey Auld be sent oft the treadmill tor, as it was generally •' leaving their employers in the lurch." The annoy ances to which men engaged in the most useful occupations were subjected, in consequence of the gross carelessness and Jrligeon(lnct of the persons employed by them was incalculable, Audit should be his endeavour to check the mischief as much xa possible with the aid of the treadmill. The prisoner was sent to Bridewell, to take his station on the treadmill with the two former prisoners. GUILDHALL. Twa young men, of respectable appearance, who refused to give their names at the station-house , and Ito gave fictitious names when put to the bar, but subsequently described them helves as George Symons arid Greenwood Poole, gentlemen, *vete charged with assaulting a watchman, stationed with a !intern to prevent vehicles from falling into the sewer in Fleet street, which is open for repairs. This Jones, of New Hall street, Islington, stated that he was placed as a watchman at the open sewer in Fleet-street. About half-past two o'clock the prisoners and another gentle man came along, and one of them blew a lantern out. Witness went ty to them and said they were doing very wrong. They -might occasion great mischief by extinguishing the light. He went away to light it again, and the prisoners followed him and broke his hat and lantern, and gave him a kick behind, which had caused him great pain. It had been deemed necessary to apply leeches to reduce the inflammation. William 'Furpin, a scavenger, stated that he was at work in Fleet-street at the time, and saw the prisoners knock the *watchman's hat over his eyes, blow out his lantern, and throw it several yards. It was Poole that blew the candle out. George Ventom, a City policeman, identified Symons as the mgr who kicked the watchman. The defendants did not remember what had occurred, but the)" were willing to make any recompenst in their power. Mr. Alderman COVELA.ND said it was very foolish sport to put out a light set up to warn people against danger, and from which a terrible accident and loss of life might have ensued. This disorderly conduct in the street must be repressed, and he should commit them for the assault, and instruct the City Soli cit.r to prosecute them at the expense of the Corporation. "[hey were ordered to find good bail for their appearance at Clio. next London Sessions. James Sprules, an articled clerk to a law-writer in Castle.- street, Holborn, was charged with assaulting, with intent to violate, Emma Cook, a servant in the house. The girl stated that on the evening of the 14th ult. her master and mistress went to the play. About eleven o'clock she requested the three apprentices to go up to bed. She went asp stairs as far as the drawing-room, and one of the young men (the defendant) left the rest, followed her into the room, tried to 'et pt:esession of the key, and failing in that, he exposed himself, and tried to throw her on the carpet. She succeeded in re-iatiog him. At a later hour he quietly solicited her, and when she told him she was an orphan, arid her character was eve rything to her, he replied, " Oh, never mind that." lie .ott two or three occasions afterwards behaved indecently to awards her. _Aft% Robinson, for the defendant, said his client was entitled to tons. property, and probably they would not have heard of this charge if that had not been the case. Nothing was so easily made ro a charge of this nature, nor so hard to rebut. 'I he delay which had occurred in making the charge showed it was not made in the proper spirit. He should show she had, as it were, courted and sanctioned what really took place. The girl was cross-examined to show that she had opportu nities of complaining to her mistress, but did not use them, and there had been some chit-chat between her and the apprentices en the night of the 14th. She complained now because he cautinued to annoy her. She thought if she overlooked his sinpropriety of behaviour to her, he would reflect and grow cool ; but it appeared he did not. She denied that she had given hint any encouragement. Mr. Alderman COPELAND was afraid the assault was the re sult of foolish " chit-chat" and play, and he declined to take notiee of the charge, as it was not made more promptly. The complaint was dismi.sed. 130117-STREET. Barnet Burns, the New Zealand Chief, better k nown as rahe-.- Range, was charged with being drunk and incapable, in Trafaigst-"quare, at a lat e hour the previous night. %vs• not harged with any aggravatory offence , and was there to:eo discharged. CLERKENIVELL. Two prisoners were brought before the magistrate Yveterday for creating disturbances in beer-shops. It appeared that in each case the police had been called in to remove turbulent parties. Mr. COMBE said it might be as well to inform into .custody yof.ce that they were not justified in taking parties tenstociy upon the mere ipso dizit of a publican or beer aliille,eper. It would seem from cases which had been brought before him that the police considered them selves at the beck of these persons. Now such was not the case, and the police should consider that they owed duty to the public as well as to those persons. They acted contrary to law in taking persons into custody in these cases unless they witnessed the assault, or :ome marks of violence on the person complaining. The police were in fact made ancillary to putting money into the publican's pocket, and whilst they were so engaged were neglecting their real duties. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MO_RNING, SEPTEMBER 4,_`1R45. Inspector Barton promised to attend to his Worship s observations. Mary White, John 31-Mahon, and John Cashman were placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, charged with having been concerned in stealing a sel. note, the property of Madame Eliza Forgeet, of '23, King-street, St. James's-Nuare, and of the French plays. It appeared that on Monday afternoon last the male pri soner went into the Cart and Horse public-house, Turnmill street, Clerkenwell, when, after playing at bagatelle, M'Mahon asked for 'change of a 50/. note. It being suspected by the landlord that all was not right, he said he could give change, received the note, and sent for Inspector Penny. ti, who ques tioned the prisoners, and their account being unsatisfactory, he took them to the station-house. From subsequent inquiries, he ascertained that the note had been stolen horn Madame For geot, who had caused it to be stopped at the Bank, and on visit ing her house, the prisoner White was found to be her ser vant; the prisoner M'Mahon was in the habit of visiting her, and she was suspected and taken into custody on the charge of stealing the note, which was now produced. White said she found the note amongst the cinders, under the drawing-room firegrate, and she handed it to M'Mahon. Cashman said he accidentally met M'Mahon in St. James's-park. He told him he had received the note from his mother, to go to Ireland, and he walked about with him until they entered the ('art and Horse public-house, where they were given into custody. Inspector Penny said that Madame Forgeot was travelling in France, and it would require time to bring her forward. Mr. Cameo remanded the prisoners White and M'Mahon for a fortnight, for the attendance of Madame Forgeot, and lie ordered Cashman to find bail for his re-appearance. John Smith and James Williams, well-known sma , bers, were charged with passing a bad half-cown piece to Mrs. Kelly, the owner of a beer-shop in Myddleton-alley, Old-street, St. Luke's. The prisoners called for a pint of beer, and gave a good half-crown. They requested to have it returned, saying they had halfpence ; and - on it being given back they then ten dered a bad half-crown, saying, they had not enough coppers ; received change, and left the place. They were pursued and given into custody. The prisoners denied the charge. They were remanded for the attendance of the solicitor to the Mint. QUEEN-SQUARE. Fanny Williams, a girl about 18 years of age, the daughter of the proprietor of the Three Jokns, Cartwright-street, West minster, was charged with having wilfully broken and damaged a large number of panes of glass in the shop-front of William Devaney, a tailor, living opposite. Complainant said that in consequence of having had great damage done to his shop window of late, he determined to keep a sharp 100k -out, in order, if possible, to detect the offender. On Saturday week, between nine and ten in the morning, he was watching behind some cloth, in his shop, when he saw de fendant place herself at the window on the first floor, and put a sort of stick to her mouth, and instantly there was a rattling of small atones and shot at his shop front, which cracked and broke twelve panes of glass. He had on the previous day seen a man, who was screened from his observation by the defend ant, who stood before him, and discharged some missiles fa om an upper window in the house at his shop-front, but they did not do so much mischief as those on the Saturday. He had had thirty-two panes of glass cracked, starred, er broken, in all. In answer to the Magistrate's inquiries, complaisant could not say that the small stones and shot were discharged from a tin tube called a " pea-shooter," but there was an instrument of the sort used, he believed, at the house to play a game with. The twelve panes of glass were all cracked or broken at the one discharge. Mr. BOND inquired whether he had ever had any difference or dispute with the defendant or her family. Complainant replied that he had not. He knew of no cause excepting that he was a teetotaller. Complainant, in answer to further interrogatories, said that defendant had the window partly up at the time she put the instrument to her mouth, and the blind partly down. Complainant produced his daughter, a girl fourteen or fifteen years of age, who confirmed his account, with the exception of stating that the blind was not pulled down. She was closely pressed as to whether defendant had applied the instrument to •ber mouth, and at first positively declared she had, but after wards qualified it by saying that she was almost sure. Mr. BOND, in the end, said he had given the parties an op portunity of arranging this in order that the damage might be properly estimated. Defendant was to blame for nut having ascertained the correct amount of damage. The brother—He swore my sister broke twelve panes of glass, and they had not been broken. Mr. BOND repeated that he had an ample opportunity of knowing what had been broken before be came to an arrange ment. He (the Magistrate) should like to hear the com plainant's reply to what had just been said about the windows. and would send a message desiring him to attend on Wed nesday. it. He did take two shillings out of the till to maim it pup a pound. Benson, who was aho cautioned, said he had been for nearly five years in the S division of Police, and wanting a so vereign, had written to Drury to lend him one. He sent him word that if he called on Friday he could have it. lie eo nt to Mr. Noble's on the Friday, and called for a glass of ale, an.' tendered a sovereign in payment. Saw Drury place the change in a parcel on th 3 counter for him to take. He had a second glass of ale, and was reading the paper, when the butcher came in and picked up the parcel, which he gave to one of the y 3 un g men , being so engaged in reading the paper that he had forgotten Drury bad lett the money on the counter for him. Drury told him, the mo ment the money was picked up, that he had placed it there. He also said how foolish it was of him, for that he had placed the money there for me. Then fearing that he should be the loser, and make him (Benson) pay the money again, he sent the witneis Stockman to ask for the money he had placed there. He considered it was his, as Drury had placed it there for him, and he was to have returned the pound to hira that day. The reason he had told Mr. Noble he got the money from one of his barmen, and signed himself in the letter " J. 0. Benson," instead of Michael Benson, was, that he did not wish him to know that a policeman should borrow money from his servant. Mr. Noble was re-called, and distinctly swore the prisoner Benson declared he Lad got the change at the house over the way. The butcher also repeated that the prisoner, when he took up the money, said he had not seen the package all the time he was there. _ _ This was the whole of the evidence, and upon it Mr. HENRY said he should send both prisoners for trial, but would remand them to a future day. The prisoner Benson repeatedly applied to Mr. Henry to be admitted to bail, but the magistrate refused it. The prisoners were then remanded to Monday next, and Mr. Henry directed that they should be kept apart till that day. 7W ME S. Gabriel Pean, a sailor, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with intermarrying with Jane Cox, a widow, while his first wife was living. The magistrates have been frequently troubled with the pri soner, who is one of the most desperate characters in the dis trict. He has been repeatedly fined ; and a few weeks since he was held to bail to keep the peace for six months, for annoy ing and threatening his second wife, who then believed she wa s legally married to him. It was proved on that occasion that he had broken up the woman's home and hunted her through the streets. Hale, a police-constable, 373 K, proved the apprehension of the prisoner on Monday night, and stated that upon acquaint ing him with the nature of the charge, he said he did not think his first wife would appear against him, and no one knew where she lived. Hale quickly undeceived him, and said he had seen the first wife last week, and he knew her addri-94. The constable produced the certificate of the marriage of the prisoner to Rebecca Watkins, spinster, at Shadweli Church on the let of February, 1842, and another of the marriage of the prisoner to Jane Cox, widow, at Rotherhithe Church, on the 12th of August, 1843. He had compared the certificates with the marriage register-hooks in both churches, and found them to correspond. He knew both wives were living. The second wife, an attenuated c r e a t u re, who appeared to have suffered greatly from hard living and bad usage, said it was her misfortune to marrry the prisoner at Rotherhithe Church in August, 1843, and she had frequently been ill-used by her husband. He represented himself as a single man when he paid his addresses to her. He was at the present time under recognisances to keep the peace towards her. The woman, who is very respectably connected and has seen better days, said she had seen nothing but misery since she had known the prisoner. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, addressed the magistrate at great length in a very energetic manner. He began by Eating that the woman who had just given evidence against him was not his lawful wife. Mr. BRODER!r said that he should remand the prisoner till Friday, by which time Hale promised to have the witnesses to the first marriage in attendance. John robson was brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with assaulting Mrs. Ann Mackenzie on the Queen's highway, putting her in fear, and stealing from her a purse containing 14s. 6ti. in silver moneys. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix is residing in Cable-street, NI hitechapel. On Monday night she had been to a friend's house in Duke-street, and upon leaving was accom panied by a black man, the servant at the house where she had been visiting, who was directed to accompany her part of the way home. On her way to her own residence she went into a public-house, and treated the black man with some refresh rnent. The prisoner was there with some others, and observed her take some money out of her purse, and pressed against her. On leaving the house she had her purse in her hand, and was about parting with her conductor when the prisoner and two other men came round them, and Dobson struck her a violent blow on the breast, which knocked her back nards, and at the same time snatched her purse out of her hand, and made off with it. Simmons, the black man, im mediately pursued him, and, in spite of the attempt of the prisoner's confederates to stop him, he soon came up with the prisoner, who threw the purse away, Simmons stopped to recover it, and then recommenced the pursuit. The prisoner, however, soon got the start of him, and was running at the top f his speed when he was stopped by Madden, a policeman, I lti 11. The policeman asked hira what he was running for, and he said he was making his escape from a black man who wanted to ill-usa him. Simmons very soon came up and un deceived the police-constable, to whom he delivered the purse, which contained all the stoney the prosecutrix had lost, viz , twelve shillings, five sixpences, and 2d. in halfpence. Mrs. Mackenzie was only ten or twelve yards from her own door when she was attacked by the prisoner. Dobson made a lang and ingenious defence to the charge, and endeavoured to make it out that a row had taken plate in the street, in which the young lady participated, and that she dropped her purse. The witnesses said there was not one word of truth in the defence, and the prisoner was committed for trial. THE NYVY. (From the Morning lierdd.) In May last, Lord Ingestre drew the attention of the House of Commons to the defective constitution of the Navy-office, and the great disadvantages attendant upon the absence of any fixed principle in the construction of our ships of war. His Lordship dwelt with good reas,in on the ruinous consequenc,.s that were likely to result from confiding the direction of the constructive department of the British navy to a single incl . '. vidual, notoriously destitute of that sort of acquaintance with the science of naval architecture which would enable him to frame his calculations with any degree of certainty ; and whose vast and costly experiments had signally failed. After enume ra ing the ships, upwards of 100 in number, which had been built or were in course of construction by Sir William Sy monds, his Lordship complained of the expensive alterations which it had been necessary to make in a large proportion of those vessels before they could be rendered efficient for the public service. The unprecedented latitude which has been given to Sir William .Symonds, after failures which have in volved the most serious sacrifices to the country, may be gathered from the statistics of the number and cost of the slugs built or building by him which were laid before the House on that occasion. They were as foliose : LINK-OF-BATTLE. Nine , hips complete - . „.. Fifteen in progress I ItIGATES. Eleven afloat ... Tcu in irogreio 1,903 147,670 83,148 CORVETTES.

Canopus would have beaten the Vanguard if she had not missed stays, and was obliged to wear; as it was, the advantage of the Vanguard was little more than a vabl e's length. - - „ A trial took place on the 30th July, on a wind, between the Rodney, Superb, and the Canopus, under single-reefed top sails, topgallantsails, jib, and spanker ; wind NW by W, with a swell from the NE.

'I he two former shook out their first reefs. The inclination of the Rodney was 8 deg., Superb 6 deg., and Canopus 7 deg. The Rodney and the Superb had a trial, July 31, on a wind, under double reefed topsails, fore and main topgallant:sails, j.h. and spanker. Wind veering from NW by W to NW Rate of sailing six knots. The Rodney beat the Superb about a quarter of a mile. Tho Superb endeavoured to weather the Rodney, but failed.

THE EXCELLENT GUNNERY SHlP.—Commodore Chad•' appointment to the command of this ship is highly flattering to that officer, and roost honourable to the Earl of Hadding ton. It was purely from his distinguished services and the well-known high state of efficiency of the gunnery practice in the ships Captain Chads recently commanded—the Andro mache, 28, and the Cambrian, 3d—that induced Lord Had dington to offer the appointment to Captain Chads, who never made an applicacation in any shape for the command of . the Excellent. It is said this ship will in future bear a second captain instead of a commander. Captain Lowe, whose pro motion we announced yesterday, has been appointed pro rem. Commander Moorman, whose promotion to that rank we also gave yesterday, was the gunnery lieutenant, and is considered a clever and talented officer. He had the charge of instructing the officers and seamen gunners for a long time. Lieut. Lee was the gunnery mate. the planters, that they never witnessed a seas in when they were so full of hops before, RYE, AUG. 30.—The bleak easterly winds of the I. three or four days have proved a consi.lerable check I the development of the hops, which the few previ days of warm weather hal so much accelerated, and it is now feared that they will not have time to grow out, as the period is fast approaching when they should be ready for the oast. A pocket of hops was picked in the gar dens of Mr. Winton, of Beckley, on Wednesday last, and despatched to London on Wednesday, fur which 81. ss. per ewt. was obtained ; the pocket weighed 1 cwt. 2 qrs. 161 b.. TICEHURST, AUGUST 31.—The last few days have, it is evident, been greatly in favour of the hops ; but the cold nights and mornings very much retard their growth. The Jones's are looking very well, but the grape are, in many places, scarcely in burr. I think, after all, we shall have a pretty fair crop, but, it is clear, not so large a one as was at first anticipated. MAIDSTONE.—The last few days' fine weather has done wonders for our hops,—the burr is now fast turn ing into hop, but they cannot be large or weigh well, having so.little time to grow. We learn that the mould where it has appeared has decreased on the leaves, and there is less than might have been expected on the hops. They are still a fortnight later than usual ; but, as a correspondent remarks, the old fashioned hoppings were generally a late cold job, though the great improvements that have recently been made in the oasthouses have very much expedited the matter. The duty a few days ago went down to 170,0001; it has now risen to 180,000/. attain. BOXLEY, AYLF.SFORD, AND BITRUAM.—The hops have not made that improvement which might have been ex pected from the fine weather of last week. If they were capable of doing anything the hot sun would have made them do it, but they still hang in burr, or, where hops have come out, they look anything but kindly. The Ire sent appearances are all against the crop. YALDINO.—We don't expect above half a crop here, notwithstanding the late fair weather. They hang in burr, and look anything but kindly. THE StrrToNs.—The hops are not going on at all well. On the hilly districts they do not grow out, and it is not probable that we shall get anything like an average crop. MEREWORTII, WATERINGBURY.—Our hops exhibit some slight improvement, but are still very backward. STAPLEHURST.—The hopping, though late, will still be productive. The following statement of the date of the commencement of hopping in this parish during the last twelve years may be interesting to some readers :- 1835, August 31 ; 1836, Sept. 5 ; 1837, Sept. 4 ; 1838, August 29 ; 1839. Sept. 9 ; 1840, Sept. 7 ; 1841, Sept. 6 ; 1842, August 29 ; 1843, Sept. 4 ; 1844, Sept. 2. CRANBROOK.—The late fine sunny days have made a little better appearance in most of our hop grounds. SEVENOAKS.—We are sorry to notice this week that the hops make very little way, they bang so long in burr ; in fact, we have noticed several gar dens where this burr has from the continued cold and wet dropped off, and that to a great extent ; still there are individual pieces in the neighbourhood, particularly on the lighter soil, getting nicely out in hop, and with warm nights and sunny weather, the crop would probably be an average one. The duty in this neighbourhood is called 160,0001. EDENBRIDGE.—We can find a considerable improve ment in our grounds ; since we have been favoured with such fine weather for the last three days, the burr is coming out generally very nicely. CANTERBURY.—With the exception of Tuesday, the weather of this week has been partially favourable for the hops—not, it is true, so warm as could have been desired, but still sufficient to help the development of the burr. A few fine specimens were exhibited in our mar ket on Saturday se'nnight. We fear that the heavy rains and hurricane of Tuesday will be found to have blown the poles about considerably. The duty is quoted at 175,0001. WORCESTER, Auo. 27.—The hops are gone from bad to worse, and the crop is now likely to be very deficient ; the vermin having in many places increased to an alarming extent, and completely destroyed the hopes of the planters. The duty is now currently estimated at 12,0001. ; and the market continues brisk at an advance of 10s. per cwt., fine samples being readily sold at 61. to 6/. 103.—Sussex Adveitiser. WORSHIP-STREET. John Goodwin, a middle-aged man, of respectable appear ance, holding a confidential situation in the service of Messrs. Pontifex and Co., the extensive colour manufacturers, at Mill wall, Poplar, was finally placed at the bar before Mr. Bing- Lam, charged with having feloniously received a large quantity of calomel and red precipitate, the property of Messrs. Maunder, Weaver, and Co., wholesale operative chemists, at Wolverhampton. It appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Justin, who attended on the part of the prosecution, that in conse quence of the prosecutors having discovered that a long-con tinued series of robberies had been practised upon them by persona in their employment, the produce of which had been transmitted to the metropolis, and sold for less than half its prime cost, through the medium of a druggist named Hopkins, in Union-street, Spitalfields, one of the partners was dispatched to town to endeavour to trace out the matter, and on calling at the premises of Hopkins, and mentioning his busi ness, the latter admitted, after some hesitation, that he had been in the habit of purchasing drugs at a redaced price from one of their workmen, named Mason, at different periods, ex tending over twelve months, and that he had afterwards sold the property to different retail dealers in London. In conse quence of this admission he was conveyed to Wolverhampton, where a searching investigation was entered upon ; and it hav ing been then clearly ascertained that the man Mason, in con junction with another of their workmen named Leach, had been implicated in the robbery, they were both given into the custody of the local police, and Hopkins was admitted as evi dence against them. It having also been ascertained that the prisoner at the bar had been the principal medium through which a large portion of the stolen property had been disposed of, a communication to that effect was made to the London police, which ultimately led to his apprehension. Mr. John Weaver, a junior partner in the firm, and Ser geant Barker, of the H division, proved that on Saturday lust they proceeded to the house of the prisoner, who in answer to their questions, admitted having received up• wards of 1601bs. of calomel and 9•2 lbs. of red precipitate fro it the man Leach, about two months before Christmas last, and that he afterwards sold the greater part of the property to Hopkins, for less than half its real value, the latter refusing to give him more for the articles. While they were engaged in conversation with him a general post letter was de livered' at the door, and received by the sergeant, who found it had been written by the wife of the man Leach, to the pri soner, apprising him of the fact that her husband and Mason were in custody at Wolverhampton, and concluding with an in timation:that he would probably be called upon to prove on their behalf that the property had been two years in his posses sion. The prisoner at the same time admitted having received &anther letter from the same quarter on the preceding day, which he immediately destroyed, as it was invariably his prac tice to do with all his correspondence. Mr. BINGHAM said he considered the prisoner's admission that he had been in the habit of destroying all letters relating to these transactions, and the fact of his receiving such large quantities of the particular articles, that he must have known they were dealt in by the firm in whose employment the other men were, formed circumstances of such strong suspicion against him, that he felt it his duty to leave the ease for a jury to determine whether or not he had received the property with a guilty knowledge that it had been stoles. The prisoner was then handed over to the care of the officers, who were directed to convey him forthwith to Wolver hampton, where the other prisoners are under examination. LAMBETH. _ _ On Monday evening Frederich Drury and Michael Benson were brought before Alr. Henry, the former on a charge of robbing his employer, and the latter, who is a constable of police, with not only waiting the commission of the act, but partaking of the plunder. After stating the outline of the ease, which he described to be one of considerable public importance, Mr. Games celled Mr. Noble, proprietor of the Dover Castle, Marsh-gate, who deposed that the prisoner Drury had beer, in his service, as barman, for six weeks, and upon entering it he had received a good character with him from Mr. Silcox. On Friday last, between the hours of one and two o'clock, Mrs. No', le gave him ( witness) the package of silver then produced , and before he had time to get to the counter, the prisoner Benson, who was standing before it, left the house. Soon after, Benson sent in a man to request he would send the package of silver he had placed on the counter to him, but which he refused to do ; and soon after the same man came in with the note produced, and while reading that note, the messenger, who had gone away on the delivery of the first, returned with a second note. He (wit ness) desired him to send in the man that claimed it, and the prisoner Benson was pointed out to him as the person who had sent it. He was then walking up and down in front of the house, and in a few moments after he ( Benson) came in and claimed the money. He (Mr. Noble) asked him why he had not claimed it directly it had been found on the counter, and he replied he did not like to do so. He then asked lion where he had got the money, and he replied, he had received it in change from one of his young men; bet upon being asked to point out the particular person he had got it from, he could not do so. He again requested the money, but Mr. Noble refused to give it up without making some inquiry into the matter, and desired him to call on Monday (that day). Ile did call, and in reply to a question from the inspector, who had been awaiting his arrival, and who took him into custody, witness distinctly heard him say he had received the silver he had left in the house of Mr. Watchorn, opposite, on the Friday, though he distinctly told him (Mr. Noble) on the former occasion, that he had received the change from one of his young men. Nathaniel Laremercroft, a butcher, of No. 2, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, deposed that on Friday last, between the hours of one and two o'clock he went through the private entrance to the house of Mr. Noble, and saw a small package of silver placed at the back of the engine. He took it up and handed it to the prisoner Drury, who gave it to his mistress, and witness at the time addressing Mrs. Noble, said " f suppose this belongs to you?" Upon which the prisoner Benson said, " 1 have seen that parcel lying there all the time I have been here." Wit ness had been to the house of the prosecutor about three quarters of an hour before, when he observed to the prisoner Benson that he was perfectly satisfied the package was not where he had found it. In reply to a question from Mr. Games, the witness said he was perfectly convinced the prisoner Benson used the expres sion 3 he had mentioned. Thomas Howard Roger;, an inspector of the L division of police, said he was at the house of Mr. Noble that (lay, when the prisoner Benson came there, and after taking him into custody, brought him into the bar-parloer, where Drury was. He produced two letters, and asked him if he was the writer of them. He ( Benson) replied he was. He then asked him if he lived at 127, Oxford-street, to which he replied no. lie titer; asked him if he was a policeman, and he said his number was 142, 5 d;vision, and that he resided at the Pli(enlx-street station-hou C. He also said that he asked him where he had received the money he claimed from Noble as his, and be r_e_plied he had got the silver in change over the w a y at Mr. watchorri's. Before the arrival of Benson the prisoner Drury said he wished to make a confession, and said, " I wish to tell the truth." He also said, I acknewledge to have told lies," but that thehe toed tellhad been the truth, He $441 he had placed taken k e to n found by tits butcher, to give to Ben son , w h o is at present ! n th e Po li c e, ar.d t o me further t b w elon o, g h i i tit o ga the S division. out o fth tillH ak u e r tthear silvers id u l ipe a u gun • lend to Benson, John Stockman deposed that he bad been sent to the house of Mr. Noble on Friday last with two letters 7,e7 the same produced, and said it was with great difficulty prevail upon the prisoner to go into the house of M r . N p ob c le ou c i n d the Friday. The prisoner Drury, after being duly cautioned, stated that he had last lived at Mr. Silroz's, Kentish-town, where he had been for two years, and before that with Mr. Bennett, Gros venor-square, about the same period. lip did not, he said, wish to say more than he had already stated. Me. Benson asked him to lend him a sovereign, and he told him that if he came on Friday he would if he could. He wrote to say he wished to have it, and came on Friday, when he (Drury) put the money down. He did not think Benson saw MARLBOROUGH-STI?EET. Awes Wilkins, a lad between 17 and 18 years of age, was charged with stealing a cake, of tho value of ls. the property of Mrs. Rebecca Wittleston, of No. 15, \Nrtrien street, Tottenham-court-road. . The prosecutrix stated that between eight and nine the previous evening the prisoner rushed into her shop, and si,a:ching up the cake from off the counter ran into the street, and was making off as fast as his legs could carry him, but the cry of "Stop thief" being raised, he was pursued by a police-constable and secured. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything ? The lad said want of food had driven him to do it !le had been unable to work lately, and for the last eigla days had been starving about the streets, without shelter or a resting place. During the last two days he had not tasted food of any kind. When he took the cake he c.)uld not resist his hunger any longer. The constable said he - made a similar statement when taken into custody - . Ile was remanded until Monday week, in order that inquiries might be made abut him. Mary Joyce, an aged female, of a very miserable ap pearance, was charged with wilfully breaking eight ignores of plate glass, of the value of fifteen guineas, in t h e shop of Mr. Dobree, of No. 12, Gilbert-street, Ox ford -Street, silversmith and pawnbroker, between seven and eight o'clock the previous evening. The prisoner at the time seemed to be in a very ex ci.ed state, but not from liquor, and she effected the de molition of the panes with a large stone she picked up out of the street. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had broken the windows in order to get sent to prison, as she had been starving about the streets and could bear it no longer. She had applied to the parish, but they would do nothing for her. If she as not sent to prison, or something done for her, she had made up her mind to destroy her life. She therefore entreated she might not be discharged. Mr. MALTBY asked to which parish she belonged - •The prisoner said to St. George's, Hanover square. She ;vas ordered to be taken to the workhouse. John Clark was brought before Mr. Maltby for final exami nation, charged with having stolen a dressing-case, containing jewellery and other articles, worth between two and three hundred pounds, the property of Lady Hannah Campbell, wife of Sir John Campell, of Ardnarmurchan. The robbery was effected in a very ingenious way. The prisoner, who was hanging about Curson-street, saw an omni bus, containing Sir John Campbell's servants and baggage, stop at a house in the street. He immediately made himself busy in assisting to remove the property into the house, and this he wail emitted to de:because the people of the house believed that he belonged to the omnibus, and the driver of the omnibus thought from his proceedings that he had a place in the family. William Lockhart said he was butler to Sir John Campbell, of 39, Curzon-street. On Friday, the 22d ult„ about half past three, witness arrived from Leith, in an omnibus contain ing luggage, which the prisoner assisted to unload. Shortly afterwards Sir John and Lady Campbell arrived, in their car riage, and the prisoner again assisted to unload and to place the things in the hall. Witness paid the prisoner sixpence for his trouble. About ten minutes after the prisoner had gone away witness missed the case which he had previously taken from the carriage, and placed in the hall Joyce 13ryatt, cook to Sir John Campbell, said, seeing the prisoner making himself handy in removing the luggage, he 'gave him a shilling, and asked him to go for some salt and pepper. Witness then went upstairs, leaving tke prisoner in the hall. Police-sergeant Driscoll, 2 C, said, on receiving information of the robbery, and a description of the thief, he made search. for the prisoner, and on the night of the 25th ult. he wont into the gallery of the English Opera-house, and took the pri soner into custody, and afterwards to the station-house. On searching the prisoner a bunch of small keys was found, and also another key. Witness went in company with police-ser geant Miller to No. 5, Pipemaker's-alley, Bedferdbury, v and with ens of the keys opened the door of a room occupied by the prisoner, and there found the stolen dressinge•ease. Police-sergeant Miller, C 14, said he took charge of the pri soner from Driscoll, and told him he was taken into custody on suspicion of stealing a dressing-case from Curson-street. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the dressing-case, and denied having been in Carson-street on the day of the robbery. Catherine Berifield said she let the room in Pipemaker's alley to the prisoner a few days before the robbery. Lady Campbell said the dressing-case now produced was her property. The property in the case, before it was stolen, was of the valve of 2001. and upwards. All the best of the dia mond rings had been taken out of the case, and the articles deficient were worth about 801. In defence, the prisoner said he took the dressing-case. The woman in whose house it was found knew nuthing about its being in the room. The prisoner was fully committed. 13ENEVOLENCE.—Mrs. Murray has sent the half of a 5/. note for charitable purposes. DARING ABDUCTION OF A YOUTII BY BANDITTI.— The commune of Saratena, in the island of Corsica, has been frightened from its propriety by the following bold act o: brigandage. A boy named Pierre Marabotti, while walking in the square of the town, was told that a horse had entered a field a short distance outside the town, belonging to a relation, and proposed to another lad named Susini to go and catch it, which they accordingly slid, and were leading it out of the field, when two ferocious looking men, with long earabines, and armed from top to toe, presented themselves from behind a fountain, and panting their guns at the two boys, eommanded them in an imperious tone, not to budge a step. They then seized Mara botti, telling Susini he might go, but not to enter the town tilt night-fall, on pain of death, and disappeared with Marabou: through a dense thicket. Three days afterwards, on the 17th iilttant, a. letter was Mound in the letter-box, addressed to the father Olitar4l4oVi, hint that sinless they receiveds,o o6 frit,;as (2001.) within five - days; 'O4 xopl4 inial be Mr nolated, adding; ha was securely conerafpd Ole forest of Cagna.

Our obituary, yesterday, recorded the death of Captain Robert Maunsell, C. 8., a commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. Captain Maunsell was a gallant and distinguished Aker, and was very much respected. His first promotion in 1805, to the rank of lieutenant, was for service in the boats of the Maidstone, when midshipman of that ship the preceding year, in cutting out a convoy near Toulon. In 1808: he was pro moted to the rank of commander, and won his last step of post rank while commanding the Proeris sloop, by a most gallant exploit of leading her boats to the attack of six French gun boats, which he captured off the Island of Java, and by his services on shore at the reduction of that island in 1811. In 1831 he commanded the Alfred, 50, in the Mediterranean ; in 1838 he was nominated a Companion of the Bath; in 1840 he commanded the Rodney, 92, in the Mediterranean, and in her voyage to the Cape with a regiment ;of cavalry and in 1844 was appointed a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.

CORN—EXCHANGE Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat, co ist wise as well as by land carriage and sample, lave been seasonably large, though not to say extensive, while they have principally , consisted of new parcels. Our advices from the most impor tant grain districts being of a favourable character, and the show of samples being good, we have to report a very inac tive demand for English Wheat, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, the depres ion in value noticed on last market day. The imports of Foreign Wheat c utinue on a moderate scale. To-day exceedingly little was dcing, either in free or bonded sorts, yet rices r led ab ut stationary. Very little Barley, either English or Foreign. was offering. About 100 quarters of new sold at from ? 8s to 30s per quarter. The Malt trade was again very steady, and last week's quotations were well supported. Oats, owing to the abundance of foreign, sold heavily, at somewhat drooping figures. Beaus were more plentiful than of late, and the turn lower. Nearly the whole of the Peas offering were of the present year's growth. Their quality was very good. White boilers sold at 33s to 40s ; Maples, 37s to 39s ; and llog, 36s to 38s per quarter. The Flour trade was very dull, and ships' marks were Is per 2Solbs lower. ARRIVALS. Barlpy, 100 qrs.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. BURWASH, AUG. 31.—The somewhat showy appear ance which the forward sorts of hops are assuming in some of our plantations, is beguiling many people into a belief that we shall get this season a somewhat heavy crop. The eye of the experienced planter, however, de tects deficiencies in our prospects which escape the ob servation of persons less watchful, becatise not so im mediately interested in the progress of the plant. He will tell you that, in his opinion, we shall get a " top crop" merely ; that in many gardens the lower leaves are turning yellow ; that the less forward sorts are, in most places, still in burr ; and where in hop are making little apparent improvement, they seem so " buttony," so stinted. The sorts, too, that are more advanced, are not, he says, likely to be full of condition—their growth has been too sudden. The duty is thought, about here, to be over set. HEATIMELD, Ana 30.—Notwithstanding the wea• ther is now more dry and settled, and peculiarly favour able for the harvest, the cold nights, accompanied with strong and at times violent north-easters, so rPtard the growth of hops, that many are of opinion the baekwari! burr of the grape hops can never develop themselvt:s. In most gardens there are numerous stages of growth, from the tolerably large hop to tb; §ichly-look ing burr, an d w hil e ti le ippyp adyanled stages are appa rently Forging their. way to tnatnrity, groat numbers of those In the rear will ofidently ba light and useless. HonsNotipgw, A VG. 8 0,---.The hops in this parish will, we believe, equal, if not again surpass any parish in the kingdom. The late tine weather has brought them ge nerally into full development. The Jones's in many gardens are splendid ; the Colgate's and grtkpa qui also very good. The above ratnarits co, tictt apply by any means to the pli t utatious gent generally, as a great PUriOn iit'theiii will exhibit a great falling off in the quantity anticipated six weeks ago, many of the grounds being still only in burr. MAYFIELD, AUG. 29.—The hops have ininTnNed this week, and should the present fine weir i ihe* continue there is a chance of a ct4it cop..

Navier speaks of a chain stretched across between two rocks that command the town of Mourtiers, in the department de Basses Alpes. It is 656 feet long, and made of rods about 2 feet 1 1 ,4 inch long, and :Y 4 inch diameter, hooked one to the other without any intermediate links. The date of its erection is not certain, but it is supposed to belong to the 13th century. It does net, however, appear to have been ever intended for a bridge, but is thought by some to have been an offering to the Virgin to obtain protection against being overwhelmed by the rocks that overhang it. By others it is attributed to a knight of Rhodes, who is supposed to have erected it in consequence of a vow made during his captivity the holy laud. The iron is said not to be inked by rust.— 71ile Builder. A WOMAN ROASTED ALIVE BY A QUACK DOCTOR. —The following horrible event is said to have occurred very recently in the parish of Kinault, Flanders :—A short time ago, a woman suffering from a rheumatic disorder consulted an itinerant quack doctor, who found means to put an end to her sufferings with all the forms which the most atrocious barbarity could have imagined. The following is, we be lieve, an exact report of his verbal prescription. " The part affected must be covered with a mixture compounded of brandy and gunpowder in a state of ignition ; two persons must hold the woman till the perfect combustion and ex tinction of the mixture, and are to pay no attention to the cries uttered by her, for if a radical cure is to be effected, it is necessary that the action of the fire should take place on the whole surface in a state of disease. Fear nothing ! All will go well ! Adieu I" This ordonnance, made with that affecta. tion of gesture and language familiar to this class of mounte banks, was executed to the letter, and even with a sli g h t addition, for in order to compe l their victim to be silent, the barbarous assistants brutally disfigured the face of the un happy woman in different places during the execution of the prescription. After this operation, which only lasted one hour, there remained but an inanimate corpse. The skin of the thighs and abdomen were completely peeled off, and the flesh charred and blackened. The body was hastily buried, and en deavours made to stifle any reports of this act of inhuman cruelty getting into circulation ; but the Procureur du Boi having been informed of the affair, sent a surgeon, who, after the exhumation and inspection of the body, declared the woman had been roasted to death.— Gazette Medicale Bags. [ADVERTISEMENT.)—AN AUTHENTICATED CURE OF A FEARFUL CASE or PILES, NV HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT I—John Thompson. Esq., the very respect able editor of the Armagh Guardian, an Irish newspaper, vouches as to the fact of an extraordinary cure of a case ofbiles, of a most distressing nature, and of some years' standing, which was effected by these medicines when every other means had failed. The person alluded to is a gentleman of large estate and great influence in the County of Armagh. No one need suffer very long from piles, fistula, and what is termed " a bearing down," if they have recourse to these far-famed remedies.

Nine afloat 11RIGANTINEti 63,850 Three afloat One in progrets Bl2 20,212 X 1,356,250 We have nearly a hundred ships, involving an expenditure of 1,3b6,250/. This enormous sum applies, it will be remem bered, to vessels many of w hich are only half finished, and has no reference to steamers, on which an enormous amount of money has also been squandered, without the production of a single vessel that really answers the purpose for which she was intended. Now it is surely competent to any Member of Par liament or public journalist to assert that this immense amount of the public treasure ought not to have been placed at the dis posal of any individual, let his reputation for talent have been what it might, without the most ample proof of his competency to direct its application. To confine ourselves to Sir William Stnonds's four crack ships, the Vernon, the Queen, the Pique, and the Albion—it is a fact, placed beyond the possibility of contradiction, that [not one of them has realised the etdculations of her constructor ; and that he has scarcely ever produced a ship which has answered his own expectations of her displacement. Among the more flagrant examples of this sort of incapacity may be mentioned the Spartan, the Gorgon, the Victoria and Albert, and the Retribution. Several, like the Gulnare, the Blazer, and the Tartarus, floated so deep in the water that it was nece•sary to take out the engines which had been provided far them, and supply their Flute with others better calculated to conceal the miserable blunders of their constructor. Nor was an ex- ' change of engines the only expedient to which it became ne cessary to resort before these vessels could be commissioned. 'I he Gorgon was built with a view to carry guns on her lower deck, but the notion was of necessity abandoned and her ports caulked down, or the first gale would have sunk her ; and yet with this fact before their eyes, the Surveyor's patrons permitted him to lay down another vessel on similar lines. The Cyclops, the Victoria and Albert, and numerous others of his ships, have only been rendered serviceable by continual and costly alterations after tr ey were launched; to say nothing of even more expen sive deviations from the original plans furnished by hint when they were on the stocks. Yet in the teeth of these formidable proofs of incompetency, blunders which no degree of tinkering or coaxing can ever repair, and which nut even the unscrupu lous favouritism of Lord Minto could conceal—notwithstanding the shield he extended over their author—no qualm or doubt of any as to the propriety of enabling their perpetrator t, go on squandering the public money in the accumulation of fresh failures, appears, for one moment, to have entered the heads of his patrons. Nay, so blind was their partisanship, that, in all the pretended trials of Sir W. Syrocinds's ships with those of other constructors, they took care to have them con ducted on a principle that offered as slight a chance as possible to his ri, als ; aid if any vessel, like the Pal ham, offered prac tical proofs of superiority which it vas impossible to suppress or distort, they permitted him to break her up, or sell her out of the service. We believe we are within the mark when we affirm that ships have been thus disposed of whose very copper and iron, to say nothing of timber, comparatively undamaged, have produced nearly the sum for which they have been sold. On the other hand, the Vernon and Pique, new ships, have ab•olutely cost a great deal more than they are worth in altera tions anti repairs, and are now (of the condition of the Vernon at least we can steak confidently) only tit, like the Rover, to be broken up. Tide by the way; for we propose, on a future occasion, to lay before our readers some details of the condi• thin and value of the various ships either broken up or re commended to be broken up by the present Surveyor of the Navy, and the inadequacy of the price obtained for them. .Vase, reeenir d 710 S moutons. It is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, and which has been repeatedly admitted in the House of Commons and elsewhere, by men every way com petent to form a correct judgment on the subject, that during the last twelve years the science of naval architecture has not only not advanced, but has absolutely retrogaded; and that this result is owing to the adoption, nay mere, the protection of the crude theories of unscientific pretenders, who, if required so to do, would be found unequal to the solution, mathema tically, of one of the simplest problems of their art. During the existence of the school of naval architecture, fostered and encouraged by the good Lord Melville, there was, we will venture to affirm, nu one of its alumni who could not have calculated n ith the nicest precision the displacement of a vessel of given dimensions. In our own day, however, and some twelve years after the impolitic dissolution of this valuable in stitution, on the ground, we presume, that an elementary know ledge of ship-building is not requisite to qualify a sul veyor of the navy fur his duties—out of upwards of a hundred ships constructed by Sir William Symonds we are perfectly safe in asserting that there are not half a dozen which fulfil, in this simple element of the science, the intention of their c onstructor. The obstinate repudiation by Sir William Symonds of that aid by which alone a naval constructor can achieve a contemplated result reply of the we ll-known painter, Fuseli, when recommended "nature," a tu precision, re, reminds us forcibly of the Hang Nature (said he) she off William seem s t o esc h e w the study of the by a scientific :uittlsi Infarenin out t. ey dt de tg p l%) ;r se t te s u n Sd e i ory n t of his art on the same principle—it " puts him out l" Yet, ignorant as he is of the science of ship-building, so much so, indeed, as to be unable to solve its simplest problem, he has been permitted to make his hit or teavtear ma y have been the motives miss" experiments for upwards of t e sv o e st ive of ye n a e r a s r , l o y n a m m o i r ll e io t r h i a a n nd a screening for so long a period ola t fi : hf s I nirf r en e asi ships, detperarcui: incapacity, :adaansutsdi of au that, trATeodlrymd in t wr o gah o l ta , hy n im the means of increasing the number of his failures, it is incumbent on their successors, who have shown so sealous and anxiout a desire to promote the in terests of the public service, to adopt some mode of releasing are hourly incur titl:g4moniviliviessaic.rcoonusntth. e v L a o s r t d re i s r p ig o e n s s t i r b e il , it sho the h y as a sound practical as well as theoretical knowledge of the subject, proposes the establishment of a board of construction as the only feasible means of arriving at any really satisfactory result. Let the surveyor be a member of this board if it be thought desirable; but let him, for the future, be restrained from the repetition of blunders which the merest tyro in the science, acting upon known and recognised principles, would be enabled to avoid. THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET. Yesterday we published a summary of the trials between the ships of the experimental fleet, in the accuracy of which result s we have the greatest confidence. All accounts agree that the trials took place in light winds, and for the most part in smooth water, the very weather in which the surveyor's ships have been always stated to have the advantage. Other details of the trial r ailings induce a result rather different than our yesterday's summary. We, therefore, give them as they have reached us. By these accounts, there were five trials between the whole fleet " with the wind," and six trials " on a wind," besides other trials one ship with another, and one class with another. inthe trials July 19 and 22, and ;itgut e;, 17, and 18, five in numb er , t h e Q ueen i s fi rs t, Waving beaten the others three times out of five, but at the most nut above a mile and a halt. The Albio n is s econd, havin g , "with the wind " an beat the Queen once, and the Rodney four times out of five. The Rodney is third, h a ving beat the Queen once, and the Albion case. The Canopus is fourth, beating the Queen once, the Albion once, and the Rodney twice. The St. Vin cent is fifth, heating all the ships once, on which occasion the Queen was fourth, more than a mile astern, and the Albion a mile and a half astern ; the Rodney was second on that occa sion, and the Canopus third, only about 32 fathoms from the St. Vincent ; the Superb was sixth, the Vanguard seventh, and Trafalgar last —thus WITH THE WINII.
