F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CORNEILL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance ment of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body cf the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch Office in connexion with thcwis gocieties and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services might be successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanctioued by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of more effectually disseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trious classes, and a plan has been Droposed with that object. ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mortality and money the savings of the Industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either Immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whiclt should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the •tiannel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice; while to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - ness-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. But the same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the fluids destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a provision for old age :- Ist. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial bodie.. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amongst the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan itself, without being fully satisfied that the convenience and safety of Friendly and Benefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present ho day has adequately secured to them.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fying the TEETII and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets.

FOREIGN WOOL MARKET, JUNE 4.—We have no improvement to notice in the demand for foreign wools this week. Prices remain stationary. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 4.—The fine weather of the past week has produced a better feeling in this market, but sales remain flat, and the tendency of prices is still downwards, although there is not any reduction quoted from last week's prices.

The stocks con tinue in moderate c ompass in the manufacturers' hands, and pricesare stationary. There have not been many buyers in the market this week, and the houses de pendent on the home trade have been dull ; but the foreign houses are doing more than for some time. BRADFORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 3.—The demand for combing wools still continues languid, and prices are firm. From the prices asked for the new clip, which is stated to be an inferior one, we apprehend that it will be some time before it finds a ready sale. For short wools there is less demand. In yarns the market is very dull. The spinners are very careful in their operations, as their business is at present an extremely fickle and unprofitable one. There was an average sale of pieces. The German houses are doing more business. Consi derable orders are in course of completion for the Ame rican market, and the home merchants are, owing fo the fine weather, inclined to extend their business operations. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—AS all parties seem to think that cotton cannot again recede in value, a disposition to purchase both cloth and yarn on an exten sive scale has manifested itself pretty generally this week, that is, provided previous rates are submitted to There are parties who will not sell without a correspond ing advance, whilst others are effecting sales at the turn more money ; on the whole, a moderate quantity of goods and twist have changed hands. NOTTINGIIA.M.-There is no material change to be reported in this market. The demand is very limited for nearly all kinds of goods, and . confidence is much shaken in regard to future operations during the re mainder of this season. Instead of being lower, cotton, wool, and yarns seem rather to stiffen in prices. There is but a slight shade of alteration in the cotton hosiery trade, rather an amendment, as we have heard of frames being set on with a little employment, though certainly with a very cautious aad sparing hand, being in general confined to a few days' work. The cotton glove trade, though in general in a much better state than the cotton hose branches, continues very dull, and the silk hosiery and glove trades are nearly in a stagnant trade.-.-Not tingham Review.

The anniversary meeting of the society for promot ing the amendment of the law was held on Saturday at the rooms of the society, 21, Regent-street, and was numerously attended by the noblemen and gen. tle.nen, members of the society, and by the general public, all of them seemingly much interested in the proceedings. Among the rest we observed Lord Brougham, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Radnor, Lord Ashburton, Lord Ebrington, Mr. Hume, M.P. ; Mr. Ewart, M.P. ; Mr. Sergeant D'Oyly, Mr. Com missioner Pane, Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, Mr. Commissioner Phillips, Mr. James Stewart, Mr. Vizard, &c.. . 1..0rd BROUGHAM, at three o'clock, took the chair, and expressed the pleasure with which he met the members on another anniversary of the society, ex pecting-that it would have the effect produced by the last occasion of the kind, of making their association, and their real object, better known, and of rebutting a groundless charge , which had been made against them ; for nothing was more without foundation than this charge upon their proceedings, that the members of the society were rash and fond of innovation. On the contrary, their ()fleet, the amendment of the laws, was sought with caution ; and if, upon trial, in any case, there was a failure, their course was to re-con sider the amendment, and safely, at least safely, to proceed with the amendment of the laws of the coun try. The Noble Lord then adverted to two cases that encouraged them in the course which they had already pursued. The Act for the simpli fication of conveyances in the transfer of real property, remedied not only the evil of a system bad in itself, but also the evil of an insecure title*. Per sons in the purchase of property might adopt in the conveyances what formula they pleased ; that was matter for their own choice • but the Bill offered them, besides the advantage of a simple formula, the immense boon, a secure, a good title. Hitherto the expense attending the transfer of property had been heavy, unequal, and very unnecessary. For, besides the ad valorem stamp duty, the deeds were long and complicated, so that the expense on the purchase of a small farm came to be almost as great as on a pur chase-money of the amount of 50,0001. or 100,0001. Yet, after all, the intention of the parties might be defeated by an error of the copyist, and as the proba bility of error was always in the ratio of complication in the proceedings, simplification became an object of the very highest importance. The Noble Lord in detail referred to a case which was heard on appeal in the House of Lords, where the eldest son, though evidently the next heir by the intention of the testa tor, was deprived of all interest in the property by the omission of a single line by the mere copyist, and he and his heirs would have been debarred for ever, but that the House of Lords affirmed the decision of the Common Pleas against the Queen's Bench, aid de cided that he could rank after the sixth and seventh sons under the words " among the other sons." Error did not merely attend upon omissions; it often crept in by a line or a word, sanctioned by no legislative authority, but merely foisted in by some country schoolmaster who had been accustomed to draw conveyances for the village, and his optional additions would occupy the courts of law for days and weeks together, in the en deavour to understand and construe them. The Noble Lord, for another illustration of the Society's pro ceedings referred to the extinction of what was called " satisfied terms," of the absurdity of which he said no one not conversant with the operation of this troublesome fiction could now form any adequate conception. It used to be attended with great trouble, great anxiety, and great expense. But an Act for the extinction of these " satisfied terms" was brought in and passed; and he could mention an in stance—(The Duke of Cleveland entered the room at this moment)—he was glad to see the Noble Duke present to confirm what he was about to state, that so much as 4,0001. or 5,0001. had been saved to his Grace by the passing of this Act. And although that was upon an estate of some value, perhaps of 60,0001. or 70,0001. annual income, nearly an equal amount of expense would have been incurred under the old system on an estate of very much less value. But while he mentioned these instances, he had said, and he would say it again, that the one ground on which they expected the confidence of the Legislature and the public was caution. He might point them, for instance, to the abolition of imprisonment for debt. That was a great change in the law and the commerce of the country; it was a hardship to the creditor as it was formerly to the debtor. Many representations had been made against the Act. The Noble Lord (Ashburton) on his right had presented a petition from the merchants and traders of London praying the Legislature to revert to arrest, and mesne pro oess.- Now, what he said was this—he was ready to reconsider the whole question, and if upon every view of it they found they were mistaken they were pre pared to retrace their steps. But at that moment be remained after all that had been said of the same mind that he had been of, convinced that they were not wrong, and that no change in the present law was necessary. His Noble Friend (Lord Lynd hurst) was at one time an opponent to the change that had been made; but three sessions ago a single case occurred while he was Lord Chancellor, so irresistible in the demonstration which it opened up of the evil of the old system, that he at once acceded to the necessity of a change. Twenty five people had been confined in a place twenty feet square for ten days together, without so much as the comfort of straw to rest themselves upon. The Act, as it was passed at first, was found to operate mischief against the small traders. He recollected that an ironmonger had come to him, and showed him five thousand and odd debts in his books , and of of the 5,000 there were 4,900 under 201 . Now, he said to him, no man has more to think of with re gard to his tailor and his butcher, than just to see that his debt do not exceed 191. 10s., for under 201. he cannot be reached. This was a great evil, an evil that was remedied by putting the debtors under 201. on the same footing with the debtors above 20/. ; but it was an evil which would likely have been avoided if the Act had previously been submitted to the con sideration of a society like this. But one grand object with the society, and one which they had submitted to Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lyndhurst, as of vital necessity to the improvement of the Legislations of this country, was the appointment of a board of professional' and skilful men for the preparation of Acts of Parliament. Till that was done forty judges, instead of four sitting in every Court in Westminster Hall, would not be able to construe them. As yet the work was too much that of the scissors, and the consequence was absurdities of a very ridiculous kind, some clause towards the close of the Act perhaps referring to something " aforesaid," which something " aforesaid" did not appear except in the Act from which the clause had been transferred. Another primary object which they advocated was the separation of the private and local from the public business of Parliament, and the reference of the private business to a board where the parties should be heard by counsel, and which should not exclude, but only assist the Houses. He (Lord Brougham) had last session given notice of resolutions to that effect, and it was still his intention to per severe with them. He did not mean anything against the purity of Parliament, but there always would be a suspicion where five men were appointed to con sider a case already existing. They were a Court appointed for the case, an evil which led to the abo• lition of the Court of Delegates. The Noble Lord concluded his address with advising caution and per severance in the pursuits of the society. The Earl of DEVON then moved, and the Earl of RADNOR seconded a resolution, to the effect that great advantages were likely to arise from the un prejudiced and dispassionate consideration of the laws of the country with a view to their amendment. Lord EBRINGTON moved that as the expense and insecurity inseparable from the present method of in quiring into real property, deeds, and the prese nt form of conveyancing, greatly diminished the value of land, the meeting had pleasure in knowing that her Majesty's Government had, appointed a commission, from which the subject would likely receive a search ing investigation, in order to amendment and im provement. The Noble Lord complained that not withstanding the Act referred to by the Noble Chairman, the expenses attending the purchase and sale of land were such as to be a serious bar to any such transaction and to diminish its value in the market. He said, taking the annual value of land in England at 60,000,000/.; thirty years' purchase upon that would be 1 , 800 , 000,000/. ; whereas, in other countries the purchase was for 45 years,and, there fore, the purchase value 2,700,000,0001. S total loss upon the land in Englan d was 900'° that the : 000 000/ Mr. JAMES STEWART seconde d the resolution, 4hich was agreed to. Mr. HUME moved, and Mr. EWA.RT seconded, are solution, advising the app ointment of a revising board, for the prepar ation of Acts of Parliament. Both the Hon. Membe rs took occasion to speak of the improvement which had been effected of late years in the proceedings of the House of Commons, especially on private Bills, where the change from public to se lect Committees was a beneficial advance upon the old system. The Duke of RICHMOND moved a resolution, .ap. proving of the labours of the Committee of the House of Lords in the criminal law, who had endeavoured PRICB SD. to establish as the principal object of the law the im. provement and reformation of the criminal. _ _ - Lord ASHBURTON moved that the petition of the merchants and traders of the city of London relating to the law of debtor and creditor, was deserving cf attention, and that the society, with the benefit of their representations, do reconsider the subject of the bankrupt laws. Mr. Wm. HAwEs, in a speech, urged the import ance of the subject, and the evils of the late Act. lie assured the meeting that the fraudulent abstraction of property yearly,. amounted to something more than the revenue of the State—to upwards of 50,000,0001. As this was received with marki of incredulity, he said the amount of dividends paid under cognisance of the London Court of Bankruptcy last year was 1,245,0001.; the average per centage was under 3s. per pound; and as not one-tenth of the cases of bank ruptcy occurring were brought into Court, he thought he was entitled to say that the amount of property so abstracted annually was about 60,000,000/. That was a loss which fell upon the consumers, the gentry and the poor artisan. Hence the general public interest in the reconsideration of this Act. Mr. BETHEL moved to the effect that the misappli cation of charities, and especially small charities, was shielded by the mode of procedure in the Court of Chancery, and the method of conducting business before the masters. The Learned Gentleman, in the course of his speech, gave several instances illustrative of the resolution occurring under his own notice. Mr. Commissioner FANG, in seconding it, said the resolution might apply as well to cases of bankruptcy. He knew one case where the bankrupt had entered the Court of Chancery forty years ago with- as much prospect and no more of a decision now as in the year 1807 ; and another case which had lasted for twenty years, with the same want of result. The Learned Commissioner then reed an extract the letter of an eminent solicitor, stating that he had searched, and had been unable to find one litigated case in partner ship account which had gone into the Master's office and had ever come out again. The resolutions were severally agreed to, and the meeting broke up. MIGRATIONS OF HERRINGS• The great rendezvous of the herring is within the arctic circle, and there tley spend many months of the year. In the spring, this mighty army begins to put itself in motion. We distinguish the united shoals by that name, because the word herring comes from the German beer, an army, and expresses their number. They begin to appear off the Shetland Isles in April and May—these are only the forerunners of the great shoal which comes in June ; and their appearance is marked by the number of birds, gannet, and other sea-fowl which come to prey upon them. When the main body appears, its breadth and depth are such as to alter the appearance of the very ocean. It is divided into distinct columns of five or six miles in length, and three or four in breadth, and they drive the water before them with a kind of rippling, some times they sink for the space of ten or fifteen minutes, and then rise to the surface ; and in fine weather re flect a variety of splendid colours, like a field of the most precious gems ; in which light this gift of Pro vidence ought to be viewed. The first check this army meets with in its journey south, is from the Shetland Iles, which divide it into two parts ; one wing takes to the eastern, the other to the western shores of Great Britain, and fill every bay and creek with their numbers; others pass on towards Yarmouth, the great and ancient mart of herrings ; they then pass through the British Channel, and after that disappear. The other wing, which takes a westerly direction, after presenting themselves at the Hebrides, where the great stationary fishery is, proceed to the north of Ireland, where they meet with a second interruption, and are obliged to divide again; one party takes the west of Ireland and is soon imperceptible in the immensity of the Atlantic ; but the shoal passing into the Irish sea, feeds the inhabitants of its coast. These last are often capri cious in their motions, and do not like the grand body, show an invariable attachment to their old haunts. The object which induces this yearly migration is the spawning or depositing of their eggs. Herrings are found also in vast shoals on the coast of America, as low down as Carolina. Chesapeake Bay is inundated with them. We find them also in Kamtschatka, and they probably visit Japan. The Dutch are passionately fond of pickled herrings, and the first boat that arrives is entitled to a prize. The herring dies as soon as it is taken out of the water; hence the proverb " as dead as a herring." The Dutch call a merry-andrew " pickle herring," and from this also we borrow some colloquial expressions. PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE FACTORY BILL. 1. Because any legislative restraints imposed on the freedom of adult labour is inconsistent with all sound principle, and with the successful development and ade quate reward of industry. 2. Because a limitation. by law of the hours of labour must diminish the profifelif capital or- 024. wago. of the workmen ; or may probably lead to both these results: in one case discouraging the application of capital to the production of wealth, in another pressing severely on the comforts of the labouring classes ; and in both cases tending to check the progress of important national in terests. 3. Because, so far as such interference with industry raises prices, it must necessarily abridge the command which the consumer possesses over the comforts and ne cessaries of life, whilst at the same time wages suffer depression, thus subjecting the working classes to the double evil of lessened receipt and of increased expen diture. 4. Because this Bill is no less opposed to all sound principle than to all experience ; the periods daring which fluctuations of trade compel manufacturers to work short time being invariably periods of depression and privation to the working classes, and there appear ing no practical difference between a legislative reduc tion of the hours of labour and that which results from a reduction of demand, excepting that the one proceeds from causes which cannot be controlled, whilst the other is the gratuitous act of the supreme power of the State. 5. Because at a time when so vast a portion of British industry is dependent on foreign trade, to impose on our home producers artificial restraint, from which their rivals abroad are exempt, is to create an overwhelming and fatal competition against ourselves, placing at risk our greatest interests, financial as well as commercial. 6. Because if the productiveness of capital invested in domestic manufactures is lessened by unwise laws, this change cannot fail to operate as a bounty upon the transfer of capital to foreign countries—a transfer inju rious to the British producer and consumer, to the Bri tish labourer and to the employer of labour. 7. Because at all times when deficient harvests or other causes render an increased supply of food requisite from abroad, an enhancement of the cost of our menu ' factures must likewise enhance our difficulty in paying for an imported food, tending to force an export of bul lion, deranging our currency, and endangering public and private credit. 8. Because as the restraints of this Bill apply exclu sively to labour in factories, whilst labour infinitely more severe and injurious to health is left without analo gous restriction, the consequence must not be not to improve, but to deteriorate the physical condition of the working classes. 9. Because the enactments of this Bill are founded on the fallacy that it lies within the competency of Parlia ment to give a batter protection to workmen in their in dustry than is derived from their own reason and intel ligence, and must also encourage the dangerous delusion that the interests of the employers and the employed are necessarily opposed and conflicting ; requiring the pro tection of the law for the regulation of hours of work, the amount, profits, and the rate of wages—matters de pending upon principles which no direct legislation can reach, and with which no Legislature can intermeddle, consistently either with sound policy or with justice. 10. Because the enactment of the Bill, while appa rently limited to the labour of children and young per sons, practically restrains the profitable employment of adult labour.

It will be remembered that complaints have been raised (and much publicity given to them) on account of the fact that those who have been indaced to -embark their capital in the purchase of the around have not, as they have alleged, been supported in the maintenance of their original agreement, such agreement being that the whole of the well-known " Rookery" should be removed " forthwith." This has clearly not. been the case, New Oxtord-street having been commenced as far back as August, 1840, and one of the worst portions of the Rookery still suffered to remain.

During the course of the present week Lord Morpeth has personally . inspected the locality, and to thi s f act may probably be attributed the termination of the long -pending dispute. The Commis sioners have at length determined on the removal of the remnant of the Rookery, and still more spirited improve ments in this neighbourhood will, without delay, be corn mneced. A CURIOUS WEDDING PAYMENT.—A short time ago an affectionate couple went to be married at a church not a hundred miles from Penistone. When the ceremony was closed, and the necessary fee had to be paid, the youth, after ransacking the whole of his pockets for " the needful," said, " Ha, Mestur, 'am. rather short 't sum, but al tell yo wot, hov toat'are a varry nice heah-top kidneys—al let yo hey for't dif-„ ference, if ye wont onny." Of course the.clergyman, smiling, refused the novel payment. The Royal Botanic Society's second exhibition of plants and flowers in the Regen't's Park will take place , on Wednesday next. NAVAL INTELL_ IGENCE. - __. i PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 6.—O n F ri d ay night a special I messenger came down to this port from her Majesty the Queen Dowager, conveying a letter for his:Serene High ness Prince Henry of Hesselbemboard , who was onboard the Danish corvette Fl ora , Captain ' Ellbrecht, which passed . through Spithead on Thursday morning, -and anchored , at Cowes. Her Majesty had heard his Serene Highness was on board the corvette, and hid immediately sent the aboie messenger to invite and conduct him to her MajestY's _residence, Marlborough -house. The mes senger arrived at this port at half-past ten P.M., and was _ immediately conducted to Sir Charles Ogle, the Com mander-in-Chief, who.ordered the 3113rtle steam-tender, Acting Master-Commander"Balliseo n , -to. take him to Cowes immediately, embark P r i nce H enry, and convey him to Southampton, whence h e would proceed to Lon don bi the _South-Western Railway. On arriving at Cowes, Aowever, the corvette had sailed at three o'clock on Friday morning for the Mediterranean. Orders were reoeived yesterday for the Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, to prepare for sea imme diately, and be ready to proceed for Lisbon on the ar rival of the dispatches, for the further expediting which a boat was ordered to be in waiting at the Cla rence Victaalling-yard; ',all letters, packages; and su . pernumetlxies for the squadron were.accordingly put on board of her, and she got her steam up early in the evening. The messenger from the Foreign -offic e bear ieg the dispatches did not arrive, however, 411 .....1 12.30 A.M. on Sunday by the mail train, and it leas conse quently nearly 2 A.M. when he left the dock3rrd. The steamer sailed this morning at 4, going tOough the Needle's passage. . The Frolic, 16, Commander C. B. Hamila, was off the Lizard at nine A.M. on Friday morning ;-,;she had on board upward s o f a million and a half of d - olhirs. . She is _,.!-,•• expected at Spithead hourly. The Growler st eam - s l oop , C omman d er J3l. Potbury, sailed on Friday evening for Plymouth, iliiiibe she will proceed to the coast of Africa. ' The Joseph Somes, convict ship, - sailed •at the same time with prisoners, for Van Diemen's Land. . The Seaflower cutter, Commander H. Damaresq, sailed yesterday morning for. Brighton, to protect the fiihery. • - , The Acheren steam-vessel, .Lieut.-Commander A. R. Du.nlop, arrived this morning from Cork. She has been employed as one of the relief squadron, The. Scourge steam-sloop, Commander J. - Caffin, went outside the Nab Light yesterday to try the effects of firing 20 shells from her 13-inch mortar, temporarily fitted on the plan of Lieut. J. Robers, R.M. The result was highly approved Of. Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excel lent, aria a. number of other officers; both naval and mili tary, were on board. , The following are the promotions and appointments for the past week:— PROMOTION. Lieutenant—Richard Murdoch Robertson, first of the St. Vincent, to the rank of Commander. Commander Robertson was a lieutenant of 1838, and he has been actively employed on the coast of Africa, Portugal, ex perimental squadrons, and other important services during the last twenty-three years. As a zealous and indefatigable service man, Commander Robertson will always be an acquisition to a ship or squadron. The refitment of the St. Vincent alone, in which perfect work he of course took a prominent part, being her first lieutenant, entitled him to a large quota of praise and credit, which we are very glad to see farther acknow ledged by his promotion. He was most unjustly passed over in the late brevet, as were the other lieu tenants of the St. Vincent, much to the suprise of the service. APPOINTMENTS. Commanders—H. Schomberg, and W. C. Aldham, to study at the steam-factory, Woolwich. Lieutenants—W. Amphlett and H. Caldwell, to the Excellent ; R. Hopkins, to the Odin; J. R. Black, re- L.ppointed to the transport service; T. A.

Digby, from North Yarmouth to St. Alban's Head; Lieutenant W. inspecting lie from Glenarm to Killibegs Station, as lie utenant. CITA.THAM, JUNE 4.—The Garland steam-vessel, Captain L. Smithett, left this port on the Ist inst., to re sume her station as a packet-boat, to run between Dover ono Calais. She is of 120-horse power, and her speed is about 16 miles per hour. The Arab, 16 guns, fitting for sea, is nearly ready, and she is expected in a few days to be placed in com mission. The Terpsichore, 18 guns, also fitting for sea, is so far advanced that she will be ready for the pendant about the 24th inst. The Antelope steam-packet, in dock, is ordered to be brought forward for commissioning ; cones,l4ibit. a - mincers. new at iheir dinner-hours, and until eight o'clock at night. Two pensioners from the Royal Marines are to be en gaged as sergeant-majors, for the service of the Dock yard battalion. The guns for the practice-battery, erected at the east end of the Dockyard, for the exercise of the Dockyard company of Artillery, consisting of four 8-inch, were received this day from the gun-wharf, and T halesoofooourciwguilzs Pledge r ed g g un e - na boat te p r, raf s a ti l c o e. ding with stores for Woolwich and Deptford yards; and the Rochester, Sedgwick master, is loading for Sheerness. WOOLWICH, JUNE s.—The Monkey steam-vessel left Woolwich this morning, with a detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners (volunteers), who have offered their services to proceed to the Arctic regions in the spring of next year, in the event of no intelligence being received from the latter by that time. The detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners consists of one non. commissioned officer and 15 privates, and they will embark in the Prince Rupert, one of the Hudson's Bay Company's vessels, at Gravesend, and leave immediately after for their destina tion, to pass the winter in the Company's territory. Sir John Richardson, who is to have charge of the search ing expedition, will join the Prince Rupert at Gravesend. The stores were brought round from Portsmouth, in the Hecate, and put on board the Company's vessels Prince Rupert and Westminster. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, went down the river to-day with the Hon. 11. G. Ward, Secretary to the Admiralty, and a few of his friends. FASHIONS. (From the Lady's Newspaper.) The fancy of the Parisian couturieres is at work on the invention of a new form of sleeve. We regret to observe symptoms of a return to full sleeves—that is to say, sleeves full at the shoulders. Nothing, certainly, can be more unbecoming, or more calculated to disfigure the finest female form. The skirts of dresses continue very wide and very long; indeed, much too long for walking. To remedy the inconvenience of these long dresses, when worn out of doors, a sort of brooch . has been introduced in Paris, for the purpose of gathering up the skirt of the dress on one or both sides. The collars worn with high dresses are exceedingly small, and are shaped so as to fit closely round the throat. The needlework which adorns them is exquisite, both as to design and execution. Very small cuffs of worked muslin are sometimes seen turned up on the sleeve ; but the cuff most generally worn consists of a narrow edging of worked muslin, or a piece of lace set on full, and falling over the hand. For home neglig‘ canezous of worked muslin are very generally worn. Mantelets of worked muslin, trimmed v‘ith white lace, r,ro in preparation, but their appearance will, of course, be deferred till the warm days of sumin,r. For those of our f:tir readers, who are unfortunately under the necessity of wearing mourning, we subjoin the following remarks : Though mourning admits of comparatively little variety, being subject to certain laws - of convention and usage, yet it nevertheless has its little changes, a few of it;g which an we d n willeg high endeavour dresses to point of ou in t. ez:i F no or . cdaesehpinmeroeu;rnre bteere trim med with crape, or w i th now made expres s ly f or a alone sort w o f o r b n l a c . Fi Th p er se m m ay en mourning. A material somewhat more elegant, and like ise worn in deep mourning, is called barpour. It is a twilled tissue, composed of a mixture of wool and silk. The dresses made of barpour are high to the throat, or nearly so, and the sleeves are plain and tight to the arms. For full dress, the skirts may be flounced, each . flounce bein g e d ge d w i th crape ; the corsages halt-high, and the sleeves demi-long, with under sleeves of crape. Shawls for neg li g e are of merino .cashmere, edged with crape or fringe; or, for a superior style of costume, a mantelet of crap e , w ith two deep volant s . The mantelet may be either lined with thin silk, or worn unlined. A high dress, either of barpour or silk, is trimmed up the front with ornaments of passementerie or jet. For very deep mourning, crape bonnets, trim med with crape, are indispensable. For more slight mourning, black feathers, crepes, and black flowers with bugles may be appropriately substituted for crape. For full dress mourning there have lately been intro duced some very beautiful feathers, called sanles, or willows, consisting of small,and very light ostrich plumes,. craped, and bespangled with jet. ARTESIAN WELLS AT VENICE.—As the first well of the kind bored on Campo St. Paolo has yielded satisfactory results, another has been made, of late, on the same locality. At a depth of 60 metres strata of grit were attained, which being perforated, yielded an abundant stream of water. The column rises eight thorough above the g r ound, and yi e ld s every minute 160 litres of wate r . It crea t e d a though aston i s hment with the assembled multitude, that the stream of water, being brought in contact with a flame, burnt in a most vivid manner, which is produced by the carburetted hydrogen gas it contains. This gas, which is often a comi _taut of artesian springs, has been used for ages past as a means of lighting coal-mines in China, where it astonished -some of the French missionaries, even before the introduction of gas-lighting in Europe. It is, however, an important question, whether such hydrogenized water as that of Venice will turn out potable.—The Builder. ~a ._ _~.~
