(To be continued.) ..........____ PORT N SM A OU Y T A Ef IDCTe,aNstaCtioEn. sloop i s is t o b e considered as a steam-vessel of the fir eam st division in the advanced squadron at this port. We are sorry to state that Rear-Admiral Prescott, superintendent of this dockyard, is not quite so well as he was early hi the week, having bad a slight return of rheumatism. The Termagant steam-frigate is being fitted with a new s crew - propeller in dock. The Sidon steam-frigate is taking in ballast along side the jetty, and will be tried next week. The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain James Hope, C. 8., in going into Hamoaze on Wednesday, touched the ground at Wilderness Point, between Devil's Point and Mount Edgeumbe. It was dead low water at the time, but after remaining almost stationary for a few minutes, she, by the aid of her engines, floated off. The pilot in charge, who is considered a very careful man, accounts for the acci dent by stating that the Terrible did not answer her helm according to expectation. The Terrible, having a diver on board, a dress was sent off, when on pro ceeding under her bottom, he found the false keel so injured that it was determined to dock her before sending her out on foreign service, and as this great and important westernmost post does not possess a dock capable of taking the Terrible in, the ship l e ft yesterday f or thi s por t, t o b e docked and repaired with the utmost dispatch, in order that she may return to Devonport, be paid advance, and proceed to join Commodore Martin's squadron at Lisbon. She will be put on the Sidon dock, no other being large enough to take her in with the gates shut. The Penelope steam-frigate has been put out of dock this afternoon to make room for her. A poor fellow, of the name of John Langridge, a sawyer, whilst attending the circular saw yesterday, got his hand so seriously injured as to be obliged to have it removed immediately.

Commissions, dated the 3d inst., will be laid before the Queen, appointi ng th o following gentlemen cadets t o be second-lieutenants in the Royal Marine corps : James Stirling Mould to the Chatham Division. Charles Du Cane Williams to the Portsmouth Division. Frederick Augustus Foster to the Portsmouth Division. Henry Freeland to the Woolwich Division. Alexander Tait to the Chatham Division.

Elliott, was docked at Sheerness yesterday, to be completed under water. She is nearly rigged, and only wants her crew completed. (THE MAN-OF-WAR NEWSPAPER.—This paper mentioned in The Sun of 3 esterday), which is called the Arrogant Journal, contains only eight pages, two columns to a page; its heading is emblematical of the motive power of the ship, the screw -propeller, and its motto that frequent order in steamers, " Go on a head." It is conducted by the officers of the ship exclusively, and the typographical department is got up on the ward-room table, without the aid of cases, frames, and furniture incidental to all other but ama teur printing. The difficulties of getting up such a work under such untoward circumstances may be imagined, and the address to the number before us attempts to describe them : ( 44 THE ARROGANT JOURNAL ) j"Reader —Ambitious as we were to publish our ournal periodically, we found on completing the first number, that it was too laborious a task, and, therefore, at once gave up the idea of making a tail of a pleasure. With only sufficient type to complete one page separately, the difficulty of throwing off eight consecutively may be imagined, and we trust that it will be received as an ' apology for our long silence. Besides, we have had our usual troubles to contend against, such as finding the type on more than one occasion on the lee scuppers, which we must confess was rather disheartening, but perseverance has overcome every obstacle, and with the timely assistance of a most excellent devil, we have sac. ceded in bringing forth a second number of the Arrogant Journal, having selected a new device emblematical of our motive power, and a motto congenial to our views. From the flattering reception our first number met with, we feel confident that the press, should it again deign to notice, will not crush the tiny efforts of one of its little ones; and we earnestly hope that in no other quarter will any one be round so illiberal as to question the pro priety of our novel undertaking. " Let active laws apply the need'ul curb To guard the peace that riot would disturb; And liberty, preserved from wild excess, Shall raise no feuds for armies to suppress." PLYMOUTH, JAN. 3.—The Britomart, 10, Com mander Chamberlain, was paid off yesterday. None of her fittings are to be removed. The Arethusa, 50, has been taken out of No. 5 dock, and taken to the shear hulk and had her masts and bowsprit put in. She will be ready for commission next week. The Netley, late tender to the Impregnable, has been taken into No. 2 dock. She is to be fitted out and taken to Bermuda by the first man-of-war bound to the West Indies. The Gladiator steam-vessel may be expected to be put into commission at this port, to take the next African mails. CHATHAM, JAN. 4.—The Vulcan steam-frigate, of 700-horse power, recently built at Blackwell, was towed up the Medway from Sheerness by the African and Adder steam-vessels on Thursday afternoon, the 3d instant. The Vulcan was then taken into dock to have her bottom payed with Mr. Peacock's preparation. At this yard there is a man-efwar launch prepar ing for the exercise of the boys at Greenwich School. She is to be fitted with a small figure head —that of the present young Prince of Wales. The new mode of individual payment of the work men of the yard is ordered to come into operation on Friday, the 11th instant. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, Jew. 4.--Captain John Adams (1843) to the Gladiator, advanced war -steamer at Devonport. This steam frigate was built at Woolwich in 1844, from a design by Captain Sir William Symonds, late surveyor of the navy. She is 1,190 tons burden, with engines of 430-horse power. Lieutenant Samuel Powell (1842) to the Gladiator. Linutenant William Lam bard (1848) to ditto. Lieutenant Charles Edward Sidebottom (1849) to ditto.

This gallant officer also served in the same brig covering the advance of the boats in Roses Bay, in 1809. He was midshipman of the Volontaire, the Cambrian, and the Bulwark, in several boat actions, and at the siege of Tarragona. Lieutenant Samuel Fowell (1842), appointed first lieutenant of the Gladiator, has seen considerable ser vice, and is in r ece i p t o f a pension for wounds. The Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C 8., and the Investigator, Commander M'Clure, are still taking on board stores from Deptford, and the vessels are an object of great interest to many persons. The Niger steam-sloop is getting ready with the greatest dispatch; the riggers have been at work from the earliest to the latest hours of daylight, and the operative engineers are working by relays, and expect to be at work during the whole of the night, to have her ready for trial on Monday, the 7th, if pos sible. The Hermes steam-sloop was inspected to-day by Captain Superintendent H. T. Austin, C.H., and the Master Shipwright, with his assistants. She has been ready for some time in the engineer department, and will be commissioned in a few days. Twenty-six more of the :operatives in the factory department have received notices that their services will not be required at this dockyard after to-morrow (Saturday). MALTA, DEC. 27.—The English fleet anchored on the 17th instant at Mscronissi, and remain there ; the French remain at Vourlah. Captain Graves, of her Majesty's surveying. vessel Volage, has obtained leave of absence, and left Malta yesterday by the Sultan steamer. Captain Carey, 44th Regiment, bas obtained a three months' leave, and will leave to-day by the Merlin, for Marseilles.

Her Majesty's steamer Growler, from Alexandria, having on board the Princes Soliman and Reschid, sons of the Emperor of Morocco, arrived yesterday, and is performing quarantine. They have completed their religious pilgrimage to Mecca, and will return to Tangier shortly after obtaining pratique. The news from Egypt and from India possesses no feature of importance. The Medina going up was two days in Aboukir-bay. The French boat is damaged, and the Medina has her mails on board. THE FIRE in COVEN Tit Y-STREET. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

Amidst considerable confusion and riot, Lord Nelson was called to the chair. The Noble CHAIRMAN said be would open the pro ceedings by reading a letter from Mr. John Benett, one of the Members of the southern division of the county, Upon which there was a very general call upon the chairman to read Sir Robert Peel's letter, and an in timation that if the farmers would go home and study it, they would derive more knowledge than they were likely to glean from the speakers who were to address them. The Cueramax having promised to advert to Sir Robert Peel's letter in the course of the meeting, he was allowed to read Mr. Benett's, which was merely an apology for not attending on account of ill health. The CHAIRMAN —They must now come to the business of the meeting, and he would place it before them as shortly as he _possibly could.—(Hear, hear, and " Cut it abort.") It was the fashion of their opponents to accuse them (the Protectionists) of being influenced by selfish motives, and to extol the Free traders for their philanthropy. If he (the Chairman) thought it would be only doing himself good by at tending that meeting, he could assure them he would not have been present. What sacrifices had they made that they - talked so much of philanthropy ? They began with the cry of free trade and cheap bread for the poor, which every person knew was a fallacy.- -[Here a fight took place between some of the partizans of the rival factions in the body of the hall, the confusion from which rendered the speaker quite inaudible.] When he was again heard at the re porter's table he was understood to say—The Duke of Bedford had recently said that free trade would have the effect of crushing all landholders, except those of very large capital. It would have the effect of exter tninating the present race of tenant-farmers and putting in their place the Manchester manufacturers—(That won't do; it's a lie)—who were said to be able to get quadruple crops off the land.—(Cries of "Reduce your rents," " Why don't you read Sir Robert Peel's letter.") Free-traders (continued the Chairman) admitted that there was distress, and they proposed as a remedy that the rents should be lowered. —(Hear, hear, and cries of " That's what you must do.") He knew for himself that he had laid out as much as be received from his land, and if he reduced the rent he must atop from the farm the amount which he had been in the habit of laying out in improve ments.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman, who, from the frequent interruptions, had evidently began to lose his temper, said he begged to remind those per sons who were interrupting, that the meeting was called by farmers for the purpose of discussing the principle of protection; those who held different views from the conveners of the meeting were at liberty to stay, but they must remain silent or they would certainly be ejected. This remark, instead of having the desired effect of quieting the meeting, gave rise to a fearful disturbance; the farmers commenced the battle with the Free-traders, and in different parts of the building about twenty fights took place Simultaneously. Order having been somewhat restored, Mr. R. P. LONG rose for the purpose of moving the first reso lution; he was received with derisive cheers and laughter for several minutes, and anxious inquiries as to whether his " Mother knew he was out.' The farmers, finding that they were getting beaten by the Free-traders, commenced to forcibly eject their obnoxious neighbours, which, amidst loud cries of " police, and murder I " they succeeded in doing. Order, however, was only restored until such time as the vanquished got into the street, for the moment they'got on the outside of the building they struck up a sharp fire of stones and other missiles against the windows of the council chamber, which were shat tered in all directions. A strong body of police hav ing been procured, the ringleaders were conveyed to the station .house. After some time, Mr. LONG said h e wou ld give them the heads of the address to the Queen, which was the resolution he was about to propose. It was that the meeting views with the greatest alarm the agricultural distress which pervades Great Britain and Ireland, and that nothing can enable the farmer to compete with the untaxed foreigner. [The latter part of the resolution was quite inaudible, owing to a fresh battery at the window from without, which sent the glass flying in all directions over the room.] Mr. Long, after some further observations, resumed his seat, amidst a crush of broken windows, cheers, and groans. Mr. S. MILLS seconded the resolution. At this stage of the proceedings another fight took place, and another batch of Free-traders were ex pelled; after which The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, but only a few hands were held up in favour of it, and the Chairman declared it was carried. The Right Hon. the Earl of MALMESEURT moved the second resolution. He said, it was a proud satisfaction for him to have been invited to attend so great and important a meeting.—(Hear, hear.) There was no sacrifice ' if he had b een ca l led upon to make a sacrifi ce , which he would not have made to have answered that invitation. He was requested to move a resolution approving of the National Society for the Protection of British Industry, and that they should join that society. He thought there could not be a more practicable measure, as by so doing they would concentrate the forces all under one head.—(Cries of "No brains.") Among the many causes which led to their defeat was that they had so leader, that they were much too scattered and not suf ficiently combined; but by taking a leaf out of their enemies' book, they would perhaps he able to frustrate their designs. Much hid been said with respect to protection being kept up for the benefit of the aristo cracy. Now he could speak for himself, that in the tb e p h a es r dsbehe benefit where ol fi he t r ich e e s o i wa ded there r,isitfocprraoctye w c, e ti r 0 protection nwaw 3 se B or en ilyapnuldtionownanoefosrra. He admitted that land must come down, but he thought it would fall heavy on the poor, as all classes would have to share alike ; and if the landlord re duced from 3001. to 2001. the labourer would be reduced from 9s. to 6s. per week. Mr. C.W. EVERETT seconded the motion.--Carried. The next resolution, advising her Majesty to dis miss her present Parliament, was moved by Mr. KING and seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS, but the confus'es was so great that it was almost impossible to hear a word that any of the speakers said with any degree if accuracy. Several other speakers followed; but the noise and confusion continued until the end, notwithstanding occasional batch es o f F ree - tra d ers were ejected, but it was quit e c l ear t h at, a l t h ough the Ch a i rman de cided that the resolutions were carried, it was very doubtful whether they were so or not. MELANCHOLY OCCURBENCB. — On Thursd ay, t h e I 2Lh ti ultra, ng s: a Susses,sem a .. n named Renry Page, r es idi ng near while out on a shooting excursion on gun, which was found to be of such a Winchelsea marshes, accompanied by a friend, was accidentally shot in the knee by a discharge from his dan gerous The companion s character as to render amputation necessary. shock which the nervous system had endured ap pears to have been too great for the unfortunate man, for, when least expected by his medical attendants, he died on the morn i ng of the following Tuesday. Oa Thursday an i n quest was held before Mr. N. P. Kell, coroner for E as t S ussex, to inquire into the circumstances of this melancholy ease, and Robert Kent, the man from whose f un the discharge came which produced this fatal result, was subjected to a long examination. It appeared b y his, as well as the deceased's staterneut, made whin alive, that while Page was in the act of firing at a blackbird the other's gun accidentally went off, lodged the contents iu the deceased's km e, reached the joint, and severely shattered the bone. After the examinaticn of four surgeons, Messrs. Ticehurst, Duke, Savery, and Cumming, who were present at the surgical operation, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." It was stated that the deceased, who was twenty- five yeses of rge, was shortly to have broil married to Kent's sister.

A. Roebuck, M.P. for Shefa field, and late Member for Bath, would attend. Some resolutions were proposed, having reference to the sub. ject of na ti ona l e d ucat i on, an d espec i a ll y to that portion of it which related to intellectual culture. The first re solution having been moved and seconded, Mr. Roebuck addressed the company at considerable length, He said there were two parties on the education question: those who held that the Government ought to educate the people, and those who were advocates for the voluntary system; and he having commenced by undertaking to explain, but yet not discuss, the arguments on both sides, confined his address in a great degree to that purpose; towards its close he entered on a detailed contrast of the past and present state of the working classes, pointing out how much their morals had been raised by institu tions like the present, and he afterwards demolished the argument that mechanics are the only producers of wealth, and concluded his address by observing that, " the good man was he who did his duty, and doing it WAS not afraid." A vote of thanks was awarded to Mr. Roebuck hj acclamation, after which the meeting was addressed by Mr. Hancock, Mr....A.rchard, Mr. T. W. Saunders, and Dr. Stevens.
