The Legitimatists and parti-pretre, by uniting with the Mountain, managed on Wednesday to secure a victory over the Ministers, and to defeat the progress of a measure which they profess to have most sincerely at heart. M. Parrieu, the Minister of Public Instruction, proposed that the law pre sented by the Ministers, giving to the prefects the power of dismissing the schoolmasters of primary schools should be declared urgent, and he went through all the usual accusations which hare any time for the last six months been brought forward by the parti-pretre against these school masters; but, strange to say, ho found him self opposed by M. Berryer and the parti-pret re , on the ground th a t if th e l aw presented were passed it might occasion the indefinite post ponement of the discussion on the organic law. The Mountain were but too glad to secure the co-operation of the parti-pretre, and the strange sight was presented of MM. Berryer and Jules Favre voting together against MM. Parrieu and Mole—the result was a tie, the numbers being on each side 312 ; the victory, th , !refore, remains with the Mountain : and if there be any truth in the complaints of M. Berryer and his friends, that Socialism is on the increase among the peasantry in consequence of the propaganda carried on by the primary schoolmasters, he has now only himself to thank for its continuance. The real victory is in this instance that of the Moun tain, R ho, by exploiting the hatred and bigotry of the Legitimatists and parti-pretre, have not only pre vented the dismissal of the Socialist schoolmasters, but have succeeded in breaking up the majority. in the possession of Lourio or Gordon, and that he had no warrant to apprehend any of the prisoners.

The following are extracts from the correspondence produced in evidence : Jacobson to Faderman. 7,04 2 10,125 N 5, . " To Zadoe Fade rman —l duly tr received ov. your lB let titer this morning at ten o'clock, and have already sent this day a letter to our people. I did not receive up to this day any tidings from our people. I hope to receive some on Monday, and as soon as I receive any I will imme diately send some money as you request. You make me in your precedent letter surly remarks that I did not pay the postage for the letter. Ido swear you by life that I did pay for the letter, including the pass, 18 Hambro' shillings. Ido not understand, therefore, why you had to pay again. It was written on the letter ' free. I did not receive any letter from home; but it is, thank God, quiet. My compliments to Bersig and our friend Aaron son. I have already had some brandy, and did remem ber you also, but it is of no use.—your friend for ever, " JACOSON." This was written on th e b ac k of the precedinßg letter in Hebrew My Friend,—lt must not cause any wonder to you that I did not write within 13 days. First, you do know exactly what;a fine man }leis; second, the work r equ i res very much time, thou g h t h e other glung' is finished just at I wrote you.—(Laughter.) There has also been a great deal of correction. It lasted up to this day. Third, you do know the money is gone, and your friend still wants 41. up to to - morrow, and they have invested in business since our departure 201.; but, thank God! this day wo took off the second sort without mistake, and I hope this evening to take off the goods, and also to be able to send a transport. This day will I forward, but, by the assistance of God, it will not be later. To-mor row evening will I positively take off the goods. I will write to morrow to our people in what way I intend to take the goods off." " Jacobson to Zadoc Federman. " Berlin, Nov. 14, 89. This day I recei ve d a letter from oar friend, 1 with a bill amounting to 400 rix dollars. Our friend Moses Almog excuses himself as having not sent in so long a time while ho had no letter from us, but I believe he has not sent it for the reason while the fourth class was in the way. He feels happy that you have commenced the enterprise of 15,000. I have sent you a bill of 201. on Daxat and Co., in Bishopsgate-street. I fsel great trouble here respecting the chart of sojourn. When you come, please God, -you should begin your passport in Hawburgh again. You should take a declaration from the captain, stating that you came with him from Lon don, and you should say to the police that you were re turned from Hawburgh to London; therefore is he to state that you have been all this time in Hamburgb, otherwise the pass will not do. Don't neglect the cap tein's declaration. I paid seven - rix dollars for a pound, so that the bill came to 140 rix dollars. Our friend Moses Alosog says the goods were good—nothing more.

SHERIFFS' COUR7; Jan. 3. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacuELL.) THE DOWAGER LADY SLIGO v. RUSSELL. This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action brought by the lion. Hester Catherine, Marchioness Dowager Sligo, against a gentleman named Russell, to recover damages for a breach of contract. Mr. P. TAYLOR appeared for the plaintiff, and stated that it would not be necessary for him to call any evidence, as the defendant, by buffering judgment to go by default, had admitted that the allegations in the declaration were true, and the principal of these alle gations was, that the defendant was indebted to Lady Sligo in the sum of 2501. under these circumstances :-- In March, last year, Lady Sligo agreed to let, for a term of two years, and the defendant agreed to take, the house, No. 2, Mansfield-street, Portland-place, together with the household furniture it contained, at 5001. a year, the payments to be made six months in advance, 2501. to be paid down on the agreement being perfected. The defendant, however, had failed to make any payments whatever, and the plaintiff instituted these proceedings to recover. The Learned Counsel abandoned all claim to interest.

James Bickerton,' a hat - manufacturer in Bread street, Cheapside, came up on th 3 question of certifi• cate. There was no opposition, but the Commissioner suspended it for six months. " Sunday, half-Fast one, Dec. 2, 1849. " Friend Jacobson,—We feel how uneasy you must feel. We had decided not to write you until the goods would be sent off; but, friend, be easy. All is, thank God, quiet an i well.—(Laughter.) The goods are finished, only the numbers aro wanting on the jongnas' (the young ones). All is packed. Friend, I hope I shill succeed, as I do swear you, by all that is sacred, I have held the goods in my hand. To-morrow morning they will commence numbering; to-morrow evening we will take off all:that:will be finished, end. Tuesday evening they will altogether be:sent off if God pleases. We leave cn Wednesday, at ten o'clock, for Rotterdam. The trans port will have Tuesday evening by Hamburgh. Await us all with happiness, which wishes your friend " AARONSON," The following is written in another handwriting immediately beneath " Friend Jacobson.—l follow in the words above men tioned, th&t it is all the real truth ; therefore, if you v.ish to write to our friend you will see that there is nothing to fear, I will write to you on Tuesday re specting my departure from here. This is the last letter Horn here, and we will, if God pleases, be off on Wed nesday morning, with your above-mentioned friend, and I will send the transport on Tuesday night next. I have no doubt that you will send the money as you have written, 125 rix dollars, and to-morrow morning I hope to answer. Without this we cannot move from this place. You may believe me, I have no more than 1/. " Your friend, " Z. F. M." The last letter read was from Jacobson to Fader man, dated November 29, 1849, and contained the notes of the Bank of England and Prussia. The fol lowing is an extract : " I received this day your letter, and I send you 151. English currency by notes, and 20 rix dollars in paper currency on Prussia. I did not write to our people, as I do not know what to state, and I am besides con sidered by them as A liar, and if I should write them they will not believe me. I feel rather troublesome here with my chart of sojourn, as Berlin is not London. I fear I af.all be forced to leave Berlin." Mr. L. J. Doxat, jun., of 13, Bishopsgate street-without, merchant—l produce a bill drawn on our house for 201. in favour of Zidoe Faderinan. Ii was presented on the 19th of September for accept ance, and was paid on the 21st. Daniel Forrester produced a piece of paper, which he said he found upon the person of Lourio, and upon which was written " 13, Bishoplgate-street-withcut." Mr. Clarkson intimated that the case only waited the presence of a commissioner from Russia. Alderman GIBBS then directed that the depositions should be signed, and that the prisoners should be brought up on Tuesday, in order, if the necessary witness should by that time have arrived, to be com mitted for trial. 7,177 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. NIANSION-HOUSE. Federman, Lourio, and Gordon, the foreigners who stand charged with h av i ng f orged a vast number of notes in imitation of the issue of the Imperial Bank of Russia, were brought before Alderman Gibbs for further Examination. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Peachey, of the house of Oliverson and Co., of the Old Jewry, at tended for the Russian Government; Mr. Isaacs at tended for Faderman, and Mr. Norton for Lourio and Gordon. The justice-room was crowded, and the investigation lasted during the greater part of the day. The following is the substance of the additional evidence brought forward for the prosecution Catherine Dillon said, I lived in August at 19, Church-street, Rotherhithe, and on the 24th of that month a person took lodgings at my house, and brought two persons, one of whom was Faderman, who remained in them five weeks. Lourio and Gor don were in the habit of visiting Faderman, and I remember an Englishman, whose face I did not see, but . whose h e i g ht an d s i ze corresponded with Mr. I eger's, going upstairs to visit him also. Vincent Poeleski, a Polish exile—l reside at No. 5, Surrey place, Thomas-street Kennington. On the 29th of September Faderman came to lodge at my house. Pour or five days previously Lourio and Gordon came to take the lodging, and said they wanted it for two gentlemen for a couple of weeks, or perhaps longer. Another gentleman, whose name was Jacobs or Jacobson, came along with them. Jacobson went away about three weeks afterwards. Federman occupied the lodging until he was apprehended, and Lourio and Gordon, but no other foreigners, came frequently to visit him. A week before the 3d of December Faderman said be should leave my house shortly and go home. After Jacobson left he said he expected some letters, which would be directed to me at my house, and he crme directly the postman knocked, and took the letter produced. I saw him open it and take something out of it, and I saw him take out a 51. note, a 101. note, and some foreign notes. The letter has the name of Federman in the corner. There were two or three letters marked in the same manner brought to my house, and whenever the postman knocked Faderman came down as if expecting one. On the Monday evening he was apprehended he went out between eight and nine o'clock with Lourio and Gordon, and said he should not be long gone, but he never returned. I sat up for him that night. I recollect a man !with a white shawl calling at nine o'clock that morning. Cross-examined by Mr. Norton—l have been in this country about fourteen years, and I have lived at six or seven different places during that time. I have known Gordon, who was the person who took the lodgings of me, about a year. I did not visit Fader man before he came to my place. Reuben Brillman, of 6, Aldgate, watch-manufacturer —I know Lourio, by the name of Lourio Aaronson. He lodged in my house for nearly two years. I think I have seen him write, but very seldom, and can't remember when ; it was in a foreign language. I dare say I could form an opinion of his handwriting. I can't say whether the letter produced is his hand- I think he writes a finer hand. I don't think this is his writing. If I could see his handwriting I dare say I could form an opinion of it. Mr. Clerkson—Do you know a man of the name of Jacobs or Jacobson ? Mind what you say. Be cautious. Witness—Jacobs or Jacobson. No, Ido not. By Mr. Norton—Jacobs and Jacobson are corn men names among the Jews, and upon my oath, I don't know any person, I think, of the name. Mr. Clarkson—What ! don't you know any person named Yacobson Witness—Yes, I know Moses Yacobson, but it's in the Bible I know him.—(Laughter.) Alderman GIBBS—What ! is Moses Yacobson in your Bible ? I assure you Mr. Moses Yacobson is not in my copy.—(Great laughter.) Witness—He is in mine.—(Laughter.) I don't know any other. Daniel Forrester, the officer—l assisted in taking Lourio and Gordon into custody at the house of Mr. Feger, at Aldgate, at a little after nine o'clock, on the 3d of December. My brother and another were with me. I pushed the door open, and Lourio and Gordon were standing with their faces towards me when I entered. We secured them, and I took from Lourio a letter, which was partly in his pocket. On the lefthand side, on the counter, there were two or three parcels of notes. One was done up, or partly done up, in paper, I think ; and on a bench facing the door, at the back of Lourio and Gordon, lay three copper plates, which I produce, and a fourth I took from the witness Sanson (Mr. Feger's apprentice), who was in the shop. Neither Lourio nor Gordon asked why they were taken into custody. I went out to look for a third man, but not finding him I returned to the shop and asked Lourio and Gordon what they were doing there, and what they came for? Gordon said he was a capmaker, and that he came for some cards. Lourio said that he was a dealer in watches at the Custom-house, as I understood him, and he wanted some cards or something of that kind. Mr. Feger then came down stairs, and I asked him, pointing to Lourio and Gordon, what these men wanted there ? He told me they had given him orders to engrave plates and print notes. Neither Lourio nor Gordon said anything. I afterwards took from Lourio some papers, which I produce. Lourio gave me his address as No. 6, Aldgate, and I went there, I think, on the sth of December, in company with my brother, and saw Brillman, who pointed out the room occupied by Lourio, and the drawers generally used by him, and I found there the papers I produce. On the 4th of December, 1849, I went to Kennington, to the house of Mr. Poeleski, who showed me Fa derman's room, and I found there in adrawer a pocket. book containing some letters. Cross -examined—I had no warrant when I went to Mr. Feger's shop. I went there by appointment with him. Lourio and Gordon were handcuffed as soon 23 we took them into custody. The witness, on re-examination, said, he had had information of the proceedings of the prisoners from time to time long before their apprehension.

DEAF AND DUMB TEA PARTY.. --We (Manchester Guardian) witnessed last night, for a fe w m i nutes, a very interesting scene in a social party of deaf and dumb persons, held at Wovendeu's pining -rooms, Mar ket-street. The occasion of the meeting wa s t o ce l e b rate the anniversary of a n association formed by pupils who have quitted the establishment on the Stretford -road, and who meet every Sunday for the purpose of recei v i ng religious instructi on apart f rom the distinctive tenets of any sect. A similar institution exists in Edinburgh, the present being the 20th year of its duration; and another in London, the anniversary of which was also celebrated last night. The members of the Manchester association had assembled to the number of about 100, mostly young men and women, and all evidently in the enjoyment of high cheerfulness and spirits. After tea, speeches were made through the medium of the deaf and dumb alpha bet, and were regarded with manifest interest and atten tion. Miss Knight, the matron of the institution, aided by her assistants, Miss Magson, Miss Harrison, and Mi ss Goodwin, had th e rare fortune o f presiding at these silent tea tables. Mr. James Herriott took the chair in the latter part of the evening, and there were alsc present Mr. Marsden, of Wakefield; Mr. Whitfield, of Dublin; Messrs. Magson, Hogg, &c. It is the intention of this association to build a chapel as soon as they can obtain the necessary funds. The liberal spirit in which they accommodate the form of their worship to fellow-suffer ers of all sects, ou g h t to earn for them support in the pro motion of this object. Captain Washington, Tidal Harbour Commissioner, who was officially instructed to make a personal survey in the neighbourhood of Ulverston as to the site for a monument to be erected to the memory of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart., Assistant Secretary to i the Ad miralty, to co m bi ne the twofold o bj ect of its being placed near to the birth•place of the deceased Baronet, and at the sam e t i me so situated as to b e o f practical utility as a seamark to vessels navigating Morecambe Bay, has reported that he confiders the fill of Hoad, at Ulverston, the best site; and that the committee in London. and Sir Francis Beaufort, hydrographer to the Admiralty, have coincided in the report.

WILSON. This was an action of damages for seduction, in which Mrs. Mary Ann Gerrard or Kay, and Joseph Kay, her husband, residing in Edinburgh, were pur suers, and the trustees of the late William Ralph Wilson, sometime residing in Edinburgh, and after wards in Glasgow, were defenders. The facts of the case, as stated for the pursuer, were--that in the year 1839, while living with her maternal aunt, Mrs. Banks, of the Crown and An chor Tavern, High-terrace, Edinburgh, the pursuer (then Mary Ann Gerrard) became acquainted with Wilson, at which time she was only fifteen years of age. Two years afterwards Wilson paid his formal addresses to her, and obtained her consent to marry him. He continued his visits for a con siderable time, and often accompenied Miss Gerrard to church, the theatre, and other public places, for amusement and recreation, and introduced her to his friends as a lady for whom he had the highest respect and the most honourable intentions, and whom he intended to make his wife. In consequence of indisposition he went to reside at Seafield Cottage, near Roslin, from which he addressed a letter on the 30th of September, 1844, pleading guilty to a great negligence in not writing, and hoping Miss Gerrard would excuse him, and he " would be a better boy in future." He requested in this letter that she would meet him at the theatre at one o'clock the next day, and then, says his epistle— " Together we'll commune, As lovers do when standing all apart; No one o'erhears the whispers of their heart Save the all silent moon." He proceeds :—" (lave any of my kind friends been giving you any further accounts of my (to you) in visible visits to town? If so, I hope you have more sense than to pay any attention to them. We only require to have confidence in one another to place them at defiance, even with their mighty catalogue of hints and insinuations:— " ' Thrice happy is that bumble pair Beneath the level of all care, Over whose head those arrows fly Of sad distrust and jealousy; Secured in as high esteem As if the world had none but them.' " It is now eleven o'clock forenoon, so I will walk over to Roslin, and post this note myself; if you do not get it to-morrow morning, therefore, the fault is not mine. The road is a pretty one, so I promise myself a small extra amount of enjoyment from the walk. Would you were with me. "'For now, my love! my Mary bright! The merrie lark is upl The sun hash kissed with lip of light The daisy's silver cup. All pretty things are moving now, Like dreams in azure light; For none are half so sweet as neon! 'Tis true 1 my wee—wee bright.' "That will do for a finish, I calculate • so adieu till to morrow. Yours ever, W. R. W." The intimacy of Miss Gerrard and Mr. Wilson daily increased, and Mr. Wilson frequently informed the servants in Mrs. Banks's that they were married, and when he called he asked for Mrs. Wilson. In October, 1844, he expressed his distress and unhappi ness at the delay which must take place in the marriage, in consequence of some pecuniary matters which re quired to be arranged. The intimacy still continued, and issued in the birth of a female child on the 24th of July, 1845. As her confinement drew near, Gerrard became anxious to get formally married, upon which her aunt wrote to Wilson, informing him of her niece's situation, and pressing upon him the necessity of marriage. To this letter Wilson wrote an answer, addressed to the pursuer, in which he assigns his de licate state of health as the cause of the delay, and states that his doctor had recommended him not to marry, and upbraided them for the feeling they showed in pressing a man from what seemed his death bed to be a principal agent in a marriage ceremony. He adds, "I think your plan of getting over the matter quietly at your aunt's, and then proceeding home, is the best and wisest plan for both of us." Several copies of verses were included in the corre spondence, among which is a " poem addressed to Mary Ann," by her lover, concluding thus :-- "Dear Mary Ann, then remember me, Remember all I've said to thce; And my responsive pledge shall be, I'll love but thee." Several other letters passed between the parties re lative to the marriage, until Wilson died of consump tion at Glasgow, on the 11th of June, 1845. In the case of multiple-poindinte, brought by the d e f en d ers against the pursue r and others, the pursuer, inter a'ia, claimed damages - for seduction ; but the compe tency of investigating and assessing damages in such a case was disputed, and the present case, therefore, became necessary. Several points in this statement of facts were disputed by the defenders. The case went to trial on the issue, whether the pursuer, being a virtuous person, was seduced by Wilson. Damages were laid at 1,000/. The Lord Advocate addressed the Court for the pursuers, and after the examination of several wit nesses in support of the claim, the Dean of Faculty replied for the de'enders. The Lord President then summed up, and The jury having retired, returned in a few minutes with a verdict, unanimously finding fur the pursuers— Damages, 201.—Edinburgh Courant. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Lord John Hay, C.B. M.P., and the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., have returned to the Admiralty, so that all the members of the board are now in town. THE COAST-GUARD PROMOTIONS. Captain Robert Kerr, who has obtained the annual recommendation for promotion entered the navy in December, 1819, passed his examination in 1826, ob tained the rank of lieutenant August, 1828, was ap pointed to the Arachne, 18, and served in her two years in the West Indies ; was appointed to the Conway, 28, in February, 1832, served in her in the Pacific, and subsepiently from the 6th May, 1837, served in the Castor, 36, in the Mediterranean ; was promoted to the rank of commander June, 1838, since which time he has not been afloat, but has been employed in the coast guard since 1842. We must confess that, notwithstanding all the above details of service afloat and ashore, we have failed to discover any such commanding claims for promotion to the rank of captain, over, at least, 500 commanders on the list. The lieutenants promoted to the rank of com mander are—John Ellis Knight (1815), Joseph Brown (1825), and John Samuel William Grandy (1842). Commander Knight is in the 59th year of his age, and has served in the coast guard since 1831, being unable to procure any other employment. Inde pendently, however, of his coast-guard service, for which he has received numerous strong testimonials, and especially so for his exertions in saving the lives of 19 of the crew and passengers belonging to the ship Bainbridge, of Halifax, wrecked in a heavy gale off the Isle of Wight, Commander Knight, from his entry into the navy in 1807, saw some hard service during the war. According to "Byrne's Biography," he was in the expedition of 1809 to the Scheldt, when he was engaged on shore in the defence of the fort of Baltbz, when in vain attacked by a flotilla under the orders of the French Rear-Admiral Massieasey. Previously to _ the _ evacuation of the Waleheren he accompanied Captain Dolling into the Beagle sloop, commanded afterwards by Captain John Smith, with whom he continued until October, 1813, assisting during that period at the cutting out of two gun-boats under Cape Grisnez, the destruction of part of a convoy near Calais, the cap ture of three armed and other smugglers (services for which Captain Dolling and a master's mate were each promoted), and the reduction and fortification, during the investment of St. Sebastian, of the important island of Santa Clara. From November, 1813, until August, 1815, Mr. Knight was further empl o y e d as midshipman and master's mate in the Lightning, 20, Captains Bentinck Cavendish Doyle and George Rennie, on the Channel and Cork stations. B e i ng then awarded a commission dated on the tat of the previous March, he was appointed, Jan. 5, 1827, to the coast blockade, as supernumerary lieutenant of the Ramilies, 74, Captain Hugh Pigot ; from which, however, he was obliged, in October, 1829, to retire, in consequence of a severe rupture of the left groin, received in the execution of his duty, but for which he has never been able to obtain remuneration. Commander Joseph William Brown entered the navy in Iso7, passed his examination in 1814, and was promated in 1825, and has been almost constantly employed in the revenue service, either in command of a cutter or a station, ever since. His last command was the Portsmouth district Wind, north-west. Commander Grandy entered the navy in April, 1823, passed his examination in 1831, was appointed to the coast guard in 1839, was promoted from that service at the annual promotion in 1842, was re appointed to the revenue service as a lieutenant, and has had the command of two or three cutters. Com mander Grundy is a lucky officer. On the, whole, we do not think the coast-guard promotions for 1849 will give universal satisfaction to the officers employed in that service. —Herald. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 3.—The following is from the Arrogant Journal of the 18th ult., a newspaper got up entirely (printing included) on board the Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, principally by the wardroom officers, one of whom (Lieutenant A. D. Dundas) has his name affixed as the sole proprietor : " ARROGANT v. POMONE. " Fate has decreed that the Arrogant should be pitched against that very ship of all others which has been held up as a pattern to our naval architects and a terror to the Admiralty, and under such peculiar circum stances as clearly to demonstrate that it the French Go- vernment should possess 6 20 more' such vessels as the Pomone, a very much smaller proportion of the Arre. gent class would suffice to compete with them. In the preient v.chievtments of the screw we eye but the dawn ' of a new era in n ava l war f are —f ar greater expectations yet remain to be realised. Still, it must be gratifying to every one, and to none less than the greatest advo cates of peace and order, to observe in the instant before us the confident ability to meet any sudden emer gency, which is the best guarantee of a peaceful state of society. " The Moorish authorities ill-treat the Consul of France at Mogadore, and news reaches Gibraltar that a French screw-frigate has been dispatched to chastise the offenders and obtain redress—that ecrew-frigate is the Pomone. British iuterests are at stake. An English frigate opportunely arrives, likewise a screw—that frigate is the Arrogant ; she is dispatched forthwith, and although 20 hours have elapsed, arrives off the port of Mogadore ere her competitor has picked out a soft piece to let go her anchor. We neither preach intervention or non-intervention; nor do we for a moment wish to insinuate that the would be belligerents were at all staggered at the Arrogant apparition in the offing; but suffice it to say that affairs were amicably arranged in a wonderfully short space of time, and a mutual exchange of friendly salutes publicly announced the fact. This of itself is a lesson, but we have yet more to relate. By noon of the day in questien the Ye men() bad again taken her departure from Mogadore; in two hours more the Arrogant was in her wake ; at 45 minutes past eight the same evening the rival frigates were neck and neck, and it was now Who'll be first at Gibraltar ?' Behaving most nobly, and without at all exerting her utmost or even' turning, a hair,' the Arrogant reached the goal 22 hours before her adversary, thus beating her a long 24 hours on the return voyage alone (a distance of 330 miles). As it is only by comparison that we arrive at a certain amount of perfection, so we must leave our readers to judge ef the respective qualities of the two vessels. We visited the Pomone ere she again parted company. The con trast was certainly most striking, and we returned to the Arrogant congratulating the Government on their now possessing a war steamer in real earnest, congratu lating the ,buiAer and the engineer by whose joint efforts such a noble vessel had been constructed ; and lastly, congratulating ourselves on belonging to the finest ship in her Majesty's service. This paper, we believe, is the first ever printed and published on board ship, and contains many piquant articles and paragraphs upon general subjects coming under the notice of the officers of the ship, and a highly interesting narrative of a visit to the great volcano of Kiranea (Sandwich Islands), by Dr. Rees, the surgeon. The Hecate steam sloop, Commander Shadwell, with his Excellency Sir Henry Bulwer, Minister to the United States, on board, arrived at Bermuda on the 12th of December, and was to sail the next day for the Chesapeake. The follovting is an extract from a letter written on board her Majesty's ship flavannah, 22, Captain Erskine, Auckland, New Zealand, dated June 17, 1849 :—" We left Sydney slay 26, and, after a very rough passage, arrived here on the 7th inst. We sail to morrow for the Bay of Islands, taking the Bishop of New Zealand with us. We expect to be in Syd❑ey by the end of September to refit. A ship arrived here yesterday with news from England to the 6th of March inclusive. All well. Contracts were taken this day at the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, for 1,000 quarters of wheat, at prices ranging from 41s. 4d. to 425. per quarter, or 10 guineas per load. Above 4,000 quar ters were offered. ROYAL MARINES. The whole of the Portsmouth division marched yesterday to Farebam in heavy marching order, headed by their commandant, Colonel Menzies, K.H. Captain Augustus Dovor Lyddon Farrant, of the Portsmouth division, is under orders for the island of Ascension. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 3.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Terrible, Captain Hope, bound to Lisbon, which left Spithead on Tuesday,;arrived in the Sound about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and in going between the Devil's Point and Mount Edgcumbe shore ran on the shoal off Wilderness Point, it being then (3 o'clock) about dead low water, and there remained ten minutes, until, aided by the young flood, she was forced off by her own engines. She then proceeded up harbour and went alongside the coal hulk, near the western mud. On board the officers expected that the Terrible would be docked today, but those con versant with the capability of the docks at present available in this arsenal, state that from the narro w• ness of the dock entrances a paddle -steamer of the dimensions of the Terrible cannot be admitted until next spring tides, the latter end of next week, when, after being lightened, there will be sufficient water to float her paddle-boxes over the pier ends. The delay and expense necessarily resulting from this accident are to be ascribed to an evil the removal of which we have often advocated—we allude to the German Rock, which lies off Devil's Point. There is every probability that in seeking to avoid this rock on the eastern side of the entrance the Terrible ran aground on the western shore. The amount of damage done to Government ships alone during the last five years is considerably more than the entire cost of removing this dangerous ob struction to the entrance of Hamoaze, and it is to be hoped that the Board of Admiralty will at once take measures for its removal, The Terrible is to be paid advance of wages here. On entering the harbour she was 57 hands short of her complement. It is stated that the greatest rate of steaming got out of her on her passage from Ports mouth was nine and a half knots. Her Majesty's frigate Arethuia was taken out cf dock and masted yesterday; she will probably be put in commission on Saturday. The Jackall steam-vessel went round the Eddystone yesterday to try her engines; she Started at 12 A.M., and returned about 3 p.m. APPOINTMENTS.

PROTECTIONIST MEETING. KNAREsnonouon, JAN. 3 . —Yesterday afternoon a meeting, for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament in favour of a restoration of protection, was held at this place. Trier° was a very large assembly of persons of all politics present, and the meeting was of a very influential character. The chair was taken by Joseph Dent, Esq., late high sheriff of this county. The proceedings were of a most irregular and boisterous character, probably unequalled by any political meeting which has previously taken place oven in this locality, notorious for its political excesses. From first to last nothing like order could b 3 preserved. The Free-traders assembled in very strong force, completely overpowering in both num bers and energy the parties friendly to the object of the meeting; and the result was a complete route of the Protectionists, and indescribable confusion, amidst which the chairman deserted his post, and the proceed ings terminated without any resolution whatever being put to the vote. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN COVENTRY -STREET, HAYMARKET.—Last night, about eleven o'clock, a fire of a serious nature, attended with a considerable destruc tion if property, happened at No. 4, Coventry -street, Haymarket, in the tenure of Messrs. Creese and Co. (late Laidtaw and R idwell), Court bunt and shoemakers. The fire commenced in the manufactory at the rear of the front warehouse, which was of equal height with the buildings in Coventry and Princes -streets. Some of Mr. Crease's family, it appears, were the first to make the discovery, and although they raised an immediate alarm, in the course or a few minutes tho whale of the factory became a general mass of fire. With as little delay as possible two escapes belonging to the St. James's Society attended, followed by the engines of the London brigad e , St. A nn ' s par i sh, West of England, and several others. The flames by that time had ob tamed the entire possession of the factory, and had tra velled into the front warehouse, al so ti ll .„ tecif , g de _ struetion to eve?ytlang Forturp.:ely th e New River Company' s mains yielded an ahunchntsupply of water, from whi c h th e machines were worke supp d a - Rh full vigour; but in spite o f th e exertions of the firemen they were unable to get the flames under before half-past twelve o'clock this morning, and not until the premises in a hich the misfortune occurred were levelled with the ground, the valuable stock in trade in the front ware house seriously daniaged by fire, end the premises of Mr. Taylor, stat i oner, Mr. Sneczum, buildpr, and several others severely injured by fire, water, and hasty removal.
