The crew of her Majesty's ship Albion got up her lower yards and topmasts yesterday. The infantry of the Dockyard Battalion, under the command of Colonel W. Edye, marched from the parade ground on Saturday afternoon to Granby square, where they were exercised. The Amphitrite, Captain Mac Dougall, arrived at Valparaiso on the 19th April, with a large freight of specie on board, and was ordered to proceed to Eng land early in the ensuing month. Lieutenant Walker, who took command of the ship on the decease of Captain Eden, and had charge of the treasure for a period exceeding two months, will, we are happy to say, receive a very handsome sum, as his "pro rata itineris" proportion, which, with the promotion be bas so justly earned, and which we trust the Admi ralty will not withhold from him, will in some degree compensate him for the anxiety he must have under gone. We hear the highest accounts . of the efficient state of the Amphitrite. By late accounts from Monte Video we are sorry to hear that the yellow fever was raging with great severity, and some of the morning papers yesterday announced the death of Commander Schonberg, of her Majesty's ship Cormorant ; we have, however, the pleasure to state that no official report of this commu nication has been received at the Admiralty, and we, therefore, have, every reason to believe that it is no thing but a rumour.—Herald. _ _ _ The ship Gilmore. Captain Maw, from Colombo (Ceylon), for London, laden with coffee and cinna mon, was off, Plymouth on, Tuesday, the 11th inst. Sbe brings home passtingers Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher and three children, who proceed to London in her, and Mr. Lamb, G. Fraser, and two sons, who landed here. The Gilmore left Colombo . January the 19th, and St. Helena the 13th of March. There were no ships of war at St. Helena. Eleven slavers which had been captured were breaking up, and 1,500 liberated Africans were on the island when she left. Wind westerly. WOOLWICH, JUICE 12.—The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart., held a levee yesterday at Whitehall, and it was attended by the following officers:— Rear-Admiral John Peter Douglas. Captains—Sir George A. Westphal, Knt. (1819), Thomas Martin (1826), Edward R. Williams (1827), William Ramsay (1838), Hon. Henry A. Murray (1841), and Gordon G Macdonald (1846). Commanders Adam Cuppage (1830), John Wheatley (1832), R. B. Crawford (1842), and James F. B. Wainwright (1850). Lieutenants—William H. Dixon' (1807), John R. Baker (1828), John 0. Freeland (1838), Charles Wake (1846), W. Thorne, F. H. M. Martin, and E. Chambers (1849). Surgeon—John Robertson, M.D. The Sampson steam-frigate arrived at Devonport from Woolwich, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, at seven o'clock, A.M., on Sunday last, having made an excellent passage round, averaging on the entire dis tance between the two ports a speed of,very nearly ten knots per hour, against a head sea and strong wind. Tha draught of water of the Sampson during her voyage to Devonport was 14 feet 5 inches forward and 14 feet 6 inches aft, and her engines worked remarkably well, being supplied with steam from three boilers on a plan of Mr. Humphrys, Chief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, which pro duced an ample supply of steam without the least symptom of priming. The plan also possesses the great advantage of allowing the boilers to be placed low in the vessel. Lieutenant Robertson, and the riggers who navigated her, embarked in the evening of the day on which they arrived in the Confiance steam vessel on their return to Woolwich, where they ar rived yesterday evening, having touched at Ports mouth to take in a supply of coals. The Retribution steam-frigate will be out of the hands of the engineers fitting her engines to-morrow, and is expected to be tried down the river on Satur day, or in the early part of next week.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. T'ais work contains an accurate and complete account of the A n atomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un tertunatelY happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from t h e i r invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bat erro neously entertained that these complaints aro beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these tisesaes.

It' is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement dining the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of resisting, - or counteracting, in a most remarkable manner, the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it may be concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing. The price is but ONE GUINEA. AND A HALF.

After the departure of her Royal Highness Ad miral Sir Bidden Capel and Rear-Admiral Prescott went on board the Excellent gunnery ship to witness the effect of firing shot at a butt moored about 500 yards from that ship formed of iron plates, the thick ness of the. sides of the new,.iron steam-ship , Simoom, to test the fitness or unfit n es s of iron for the purposes of shipbuilding, as suggested by Rear -Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The shot fired went right through the " Simoom," as the butt was called, tearing her to pieces and clearly showing the insufficiency of iron to resist the fire of shot. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., in her trial trip yesterday steamed as far as Swanage, Dorset, and, we are told, accomplished that distance in something less than five hours. The Ajax steam guard-ship, Captain Quin, was paid advance at Spithead yesterday, and will sail to morrow for Queenstown. The Sealark, 8, Commander Sotheby, has been re moved from the basin to the stream to-day. The New York line-of -packet ship Sir Robert Peel sailed from Spithead this morning. The annual inspection of the Royal Marines of this division was continued to-day by Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C.H., and Colonel Owen, K.H., the Deputy-Adjutant-General, who examined the books of the corps in the morning, and at two P.M. the division marched to Haslar-common, and were put through many manoeuvres by Colonel-Com m and an t Menzies, KA., at the conclusion of which Lord Fitzclarence addressed the division, expressing his entire approbation of the state of the corps, in bar racks and in the field. He had found everything as it ought to be. Colonel Menzies entertained Lord Fitz clarence., the Deputy-Adjutant - General, and a bril liant party of the officers of the corps, at his official mansion in Portsmouth in the evening.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. CIIRONICLE.—The reader will find, under the heading " Court of Bankruptcy," a compendious summary of one of those narratives of reckless adventure and merited disaster which, from time to time, the judicial annals of insolvency offer to the student of human nature. The main outlines of this almost fabulous-looking tale of a squandered fortune will be found in the private examination of Edward Thomas Delafield, a considerable portion of which was yesterday read by Mr. Commissioner Fane, in pronouncing judgment on the bankrupt's claim to a certificate. It is needless to remind the reader that Mr. Delafield had a start in life such as fortune vouchsafes only to her most favoured children. In the month of January, 1845, when this young gentle man completed his 21st year, he found himself absolute master of upwards of 100,0001., together with a share in the profits of a long-established and lucrative brewing business. Of this noble fortune, with all the fine opportunities and prospects apper taining to it, nothing now remains except assets to the extent of 1,090/., towards a dividend on debts amounting to between 30,000/. and 40,0001. That is to say, in the space of little more than four years, Mr. Delafield has spent, lent, given, lost, or other wise run through his original capital of 100,000/. plus the interest and profits thereon accruing during the continuance of his partnership in the brewery (being a further sum of upwards of 14.0000, plus the amount of his unpaid debts—the whole amounting, in round numbers, to upwards of 140,000/. The first question that one naturally asks, on hearing of so magnificent a ruin, is, where is the money all gone ? What picture galleries, museums, or parks has this unfortunate gentle man presented to the nation ? What hospitals, colleges, or churches has he built and endowed ? For what princes, peers, ambassadors, savans and literati has ho kept open house ? Or what " provi sionally registered" Grand Direct Junction railways have numbered him among their directors ? No! it is none of these things. Mr. Delafield was neither a Meecenas, nor a virtuoso, nor a " founder," nor an entertainer of princes, nor a railway speculator. Nor was he a "gambler," in the conventional sense of the word. His case comes within none of the well known categories with which the statistics of insol vency have made us familiar. His habits were more than sufficiently expensive, even for the possessor of 100,0001.—but that was not it. He was, at times, preposterously and culpably good-natured to his friends—as when he made an actual present of no less a sum than 5,0001. to one Mr. Arthur Webster— but it was not his generosity that ruined him. After deducting all items that come under the head of per sonal extravagance (including the Willow Bank affair), there remains a vast residuum of loss yet un explained. • To cut a long story short, the simple fact is, that Mr. Delafield took it into his head—or had it put into his head—to become the lessee of an Opera House, with no other qualification for the business than the command of money and a passion for music; and he thereby succeeded in getting rid of 81,300. within somewhat less than two years. To this may be added some minor operatic and theatrical losses, to the extent of about 8,0001. more. Perhaps the most 1 extraordinary part of the whole story of Mr. Dela field's connexion with the Royal Italian Opera is the beginning of it. The following is his own account of the affair, as given in his private examination : " I know Thomas Frederick Beale, of 201, Regent street. I first became acquainted with him in the spring of 1847; he was then engaged as acting ma nager of the Royal Italian Opera House, CJvent garden, for Signor Persiani, who was at that time the lessee. Some time in the month of July, 1847, Beale came to me when I was in my box at the theatre, and told me Persiani had left, and that money was required to pay the artistes, or else the theatre must close ; and said, if I would lend him my pro missory note for 3,000/., the Union Bank or his father would discount it ; Si promieing i • with Chappell, his solicitor, who was then- pteAnt, tgiaro f vide for it at maturity. I consented 4this, atscißtave my promissory not the following day. . . . No part of this 3,000/. was ever repaid to me, either by Mr. Beale or his attorney. When I gave h bill, I had no connexion with the theatre beyonaving my box there. I had Jim motive in giving this• bill, except assist th concern." This almost pa4s..th..who • belief. extempore loan of i tio 3,000/. to a man sil acquaintance was but of a few weeks' standing, for the mere purpose of bolstering up an insolvent concern, whose respon sible head " had lefc !" After such a commencement nothing is incredible. We learn, almost without surprise, that before that summer was over the in fatuated youth was induced to join his new acquaint ance as a partner—vainly attempting to limit his liabi lities, by a special agreement, to the sum of 15,0001. ; and by this insane proceeding, and other arrange ments made in pursuance of it, he rendered himself legally answerable for the whole of the existing en gagements and liabilities of the concern, amounting to about woo/. There is no occasion to go into the details of what followed. In the ensuing month of December, Mr. Delafield formally assumed those plenary and personal responsibilities which he had previously incurred unwittingly. He dissolved his partnership with Beale, and took upon himself all the debts and engagements of the theatre past and future. The result may be briefly told in his own words. He says, in his examination—" I was, in fact, en- tirely ruined at the end of the season of 1848 ; my balance at my bankers was quite e xhausted, and I began the season of 1849 by a loan of 2,0001. from my bankers." For this " entirely ruined" man did not feel it to be his duty to decline incurring further liabilities which he was totally without the means of discharging, or to deny himself costly personal indul gences, which from that period could only be en joyed at the expense of his creditors. Ruined though he was, at the end of the season of 1848, he went on through the season of 1849, and increased his deficit by 25,000/. more. In the course of the spring of that year, after having assigned over the remnant of his available property to Beale, to cover advances made by the latter for the purpose of carrying on the theatre, he retired to Brussels to avoid arrest, and on the 12th of July he became a bankrupt. Such is a summary of that series of transactions respecting which Mr. Commissioner Fane thinks, "on the whole, and upon full consideration of all the circumstances," that "he shall best discharge his public duty by granting the bankrupt a common certificate, without attaching any con dition." It is not our wish to say anything which may needlessly wound the feelings of a gentleman on whom the natural penalties of his faults and follies has fallen so heavily, and we abstain therefore from fully commenting on those features of the case which might have seemed to justify, if not to compel, a somewhat severer judgment. But whether the Com missioner's decision be right or wrong in substance, the greater part of the reasons on which he professes to ground it are, in our opinion, alike fallacious and mischievous ; and they excite our utter amazement as coming from the lips of an authorized and judicial exponent of the principles of commercial morality. Mr. Commissioner Fane, it will be observed, bases his lenient view of the bankrupt's case (inter alia) on his '' extreme youth, on " the circumstance that he could hardly be deemed a trader," and on " the deceptions of which he had been made the victim." Of the nature of these " deceptions," and how far deception was pra cti s ed on Mr. Delafield against which the merest common sense ought not to have been a more than sufficient preservative, every reader has ample means of deciding for himself. The two other pleas which we have quoted from the Com missioner's judgment are really monstrous. The law of the land declares Mr. Delafield to be of full age— absolute master of his property, and absolutely re sponsible for his actions ; it also declares that he is to be "deemed a trader," to all intents and purposes, as much as any merchant, banker, or shopkeeper in Great Britain ; and when Mr. Commissioner Fane takes it upon him, in administering the law of which he is a sworn servant, to pronounce the bankrupt al most a minor, and " hardly a trader," he takes a liberty which is alike unwarrantable and indecorous. More flagrant still, if possible, is the inventive in genuity which this judicial advocate displays when he urges, in the bankrupt's favour, that " he might have thought that, in inducing Beale to furnish funds ' to go on with, he was doing the best he could for the creditors"—a suggestion which (if the principle were carried out) would give license and impunity to every imaginable description of m ercantile reckless ness and gambling. Perhaps Mr. Commissioner Fane will take an early opportunity of . informing the commercial public, first, at what precisespideerriosdthoet a man's life, after the 21st birthday, he considers irres:sonsibilities of nonage youth" to or ' extreme cla-ses of be at an end —secondly, ,wheatto precisebe henceforth " traders within the statute," are thirdly, what pre- , re garded asirregularity are to "hardly traders" --and ers rise descriptions of coinil-1 ground that a be deemed henceforth justifiable ercal on irr tl e i g e thought" so-and-so. As the have bankrupt "might m atter stainlFl an only say of this extraordinary judgment, that f '' ' v t e is , 'fatally calculated to confound the fundamental principles e ‘f• mercantile laws and m ora l s . TIMES.. —The —s • .—The decision given by Mr. Commis sioner Fane, in the case of Thomas E. Delafield, a ppears at fi r st sight remarkable fur its leni enc y, when we consider the enormous extent of the baek rupt's liabilities ; the short time in which these liabi- ~~~~-% were contracted ; the reckless nature of the ; and the absolute deficit of assets at its - ion. It cannot be urged in palliation that )lafield was the victim of any of those unto icissitudes either of legislation or of the seasons which will sometimes contound the beet matured plans, and involve not merely thJ speculator, hut the merchant, in irretrievable etnbarrasment. The nature of theatrical property is well known. It is proverbially dangerous, as is every species of pro perty which depends for its value upon the arbi trary fluctuations in public taste. Men are found, however, who do " make a living," as the phrase runs, and a handsome one too, out of enterprises of this description. Nor can it be said that the persons with whose assistance Mr. Delafield and his advisers attempted to carry out their views appeared ill-fitted for the object proposed. The singers engaged at his theatre were the same persons who for many years had attracted the attention of the town, and who almost possessed a monopoly of the performance of the Italian lyrical drama. Certainly there was no reason for supposing that the annoy ance of an additional ten minutes' drive would keep away an audience which had been long habituated to hang upon the strains of Grisi and Mario. Mr. Costa in Covent-garden was the same efficient direc- tor of an orchestra as Mr. Costa at the Haymarket. The " artists" employed by Mr. Delafield were old and well-tried favourites with the public, ao that the speculation was dpvoid of hazard in one important re spect. Whence, then, the appalling crash which has, ruined Mr. Delafield, erased his name from the list of the money magnates of his time, and left him in the condition of a dependent for life on the bounty of those with wham he should have lived upon more equal terms ? The answer is quickly given, and must serve as a key to the judgment pronounced by Mr. Commissioner Fane in awarding the certificate of the bankrupt without any conditions of unusual severity. Towards the conclusion of his judgment the Learned Commissioner is reported to have said—" I look upon the general body of creditors in this case as co-spe culators with the bankrupt, and as the speculation has been a total failure, and he the greatest sufferer, all ought to bear their share of the misfortune without repining." Is not this so ? From first to last this foolish man—he has not yet, we believe, completed his twenty-fifth year—was a mere catspaw in the hands of men of sharper wit, and of a body of dissatisfied singers. We will not go so far as to say that Mr. Delafield's ruin was contemplated by those who attracted him into the concern, but, at least, he was the capitalist who was to furnish them ' with the means of realising the dreams of their fevered imaginations and to bear the brunt in case of reverse. The speculation which commenced in July, 1847, by Mr. Djafield's consent to hand Mr. Beale his promissory note for 3,0001., has terminated in June, 1850, by the allowance of his certificate as bankrupt to this misguided young man. He was but twenty three years of age when he took the first fatal step— at the end of 1848 he was a ruined man. Now, let us see what was the sum actually lost, and therefore what the implied adjunct to the bankrupt's certificate. On coining of age, in the year 1845, Mr. Delafield was entitled to a fortune bequeathed him by an uncle, which, with its accumulations, amounted to upwards of 100,000/., and, furthermore, ton reversionary in terest in 6,0001. under his father's will. On coming of age he was admitted a partner in the brewery, and if we understand aright the statementwith which we have been furnished, by investing his capital in the concern he received interest upon it at the rate of 5 per cent., together with his share of the profits, 2,5001 per an num. In the commencement, then, of 1846, Mr. Delafield was in possession of a fortune, well secured, of 7,500/. a year ; by the end of 1848 he was a beggar. The last year and a halt' has been spent in a succession of painful embarrassments and legal pro ceedings—in a flight to the contirient—in a re-ap peerance at the Bankruptcy Court, from which he was dismissed on Tuesday with nothing in his pocket hut a certificate, to make trial of that hardest of all fates—dependence upon others. We have already so amply--Rte may add, so frequently, discussed the circumstances and figures of this bankruptcy, that it is not our intention to try our readers' patience any more with details. It is but right, however, that so enormous an instance of a young man's folly and of the vicissitudes of fortune should receive some brief notice at our hands, now that the lawyers have done with it. The example of Mr. Delafield may serve to deter others from engaging, at so early an age, and in so reckless a manner, in speculations which demand a long experience of business and a sharp penetration into motives and character. The downfal is so great that it must appear miracu lous to any but one of that infinitely small section of the community which lives without a care upon the accumulations of its progenitors, how a man can throw from him in mere wantonness those means, which, if they cannot secure happiness, may at least deliver their possessor from many a bitter trial and heart-ach. Yet this is just what this foolish end unfortunate young man has done. Enjoyment, even in its lowest sense, he can have received none in exchange for this enormous sacrifice. To preside nominally over the engagements and jealousies and squabbles of a parcel' of singers and dancers for a couple of seasons is at least so poor a compensation that we refuse to take it at all into account. And now be is left to test the value of the obsequiousness of a few transitory parasites and dependents, and to discover how much of the regard paid to him was given to himself, how much to his fortune, and to his sup posed means of advancing the fortunes of those around him. Either the world is changed, or the few men who would have stood staunchly to him in his hour of trouble are the very persons he missed at his table in the heyday of his festivities, when the opium dreams of continu ous f or t une an d splendour were at their highest. If Mr. Delafield be doomed to inevi table disappointment in one sense, let us hope that he may meet with assistance and a helping hand from others on whose regard he may just now sup pose himself to have but slender claims. There is one ;point in the judgment of the Commis sioner, however, which we would notice be fore dismissing this subject for ever from our columns. It appears that expectations had been entertained that some conditions for future payment mould be affixed to the bankrupt's certificate because he was known to possess rich relations, who, as it was supposed, would not be likely to leave a member of the rich family of Delafield under the sharp pressure of money difficulties. The suggestion operated with the Commissioner in a way contrary to the one in tended. There was so much good sense in his re marks, and the point is one of so much public importance, that we will here reproduce a brief sen tence or two from our report of yesterday:—"lt may he said that the bankrupt has rich relations. Perhaps he has ; but if it were true, this argument is one which will never weigh with me. I will never be a party to the establishing of any such doctrine as that ich relations are under any obligation to pay the debts of extravagant connexions. A contrary doc trine is a far more wholesome one." The case is one of such common occurrence that too much stress cannot be laid upon the point so forcibly insisted upon by the Commissioner. A more cruel injustice cannot be conceived than to place the prudent and well-conducted members of a family under the necea airy of paying the debts of a foolish young spendthrift, who never would have obtained the credit but for the reliance placed upon their fair fame and delicacy of feeling. This point is of rarer occurrencelmsisi h o e n f e o rg re , the Bankruptcy than the Insolvency eon there we meet with it as an every-d ay matter. It' is, of course, more difficult to deal with it in the latter than in the former case ; but, yet, something may be dune by facilitating the passage of foolish young spendthrifts through the court who have fallen the victims of a practice as common as it is ne farious. Be this, however, as it may, it appears from the judgment of the Commissioner that not tl. slightest ,personal complaint was made against the bankrupt; that the expenses of his private living did not exceed the limits of the income to which he might suppose himself fairly entitled ; that there was no technical obstruction to the granting of the certifi cate ; and finally, that none of the creditors insisted upon the addition of conditions. Under these cir cumstances few persons will be disposed to quarrel with the decision whieh grants to a youth who has forfeited by his folly so princely a fortune the com mon papers of a certificated bankrupt. bankrupt. g o o n l dm,goldgini gives eaps traiParis f .

CoNsvcavrtoN OF A CHURCH IN SOUTHWARK.—... On Monday morning the Bishop of Winchester consecrated a church in Southwark under somewhat peculiar circum stances. The building, which is one of ancient date, stands in St. George's-fields, and has been known as a chapel in connexion with the Philanthropic Society. The removal of the society's premises to Redhill, near Reigate, rendered the chapel useless for the purposes to which it had hitherto beta devoted, and arrangements were consequently made with the Rector of St. George's that an ecclesiastical district should be assigned to the chapel, and that henceforth it should become one of the parochial churches. In order to carry out this object the ceremony of consecration was ren dered necessary, and Monday was appointed by the Bishop for that purpose. The Bishop has licensed the,,,Rev. , G.. E. T a t e , M A,, late curate of Great Worley, Essex, to be the first incumbent of the new church. ........... i of revif ney )ro -1 to was tho Pti the the Iter act, for Sur , at ated ally was, j o int jinus rate , dis -110" A iley r able iota huts de• pre ioala ar o walla jpanY a'Shil a 036 refliS° , 4, et CitY , rper'o- ,* ~ Dire. j• o f the iclord ---- -4 Georg 10, °f the >igbit' list oi / La SV‘ Fitz' Fe3 ' ; ;cu 0, e late ,gooa I lbotp d 7 01 [A , a, a 11? 1 V 94
