NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 4. We have to announce the'death of Vice-Admiral Jaines Richard Dacres, which took place at his seat, Catisfield, near Fareham, this morning. The services of the deceased are thus graven in, O'Byrne's Naval Biography : "This officer entered the navy in 1796 as first-class volunteer on board the Sceptre, 64, commanded by his father Captain .T. R. Dacres, With whom we, find him also in 1796 serving in the ,Barfieur, 98, from August, 1800, until the receipt of his first commission, which bears date 15th November, 1804 . He 'further officated chiefly on the home station as Midshipman of the Impe tenx, 74, Captain Sir Edward Pellew • the Clyde, 38, Captain C. Cunningham ; Centaur, 74, ' Captain Bendal Robert. Littlehales ; Excellent, 74,- Captain Nash ; the Boadicea, 38, Captain J. Maitland ; and Culloden, 74, • Captain R. Dacres. During that period he attended, • when in the Impeteux, the expedition against Ferrol, in August, 1800, and was present in the Boadicea in a short action with the French 74, Duguay Trouin, 29th August, 1803. After performing the duties for seven months of flag-lieutenant in the Theseus and Hercule, 74's, to his father, then Commander-in-Chief on the Ja maica 'station, Mr. Dacres was promoted (sth July, 1805,) to the command of the Elk sloop, from which he appears to have been posted (14th January, 1806,) into the Bacchante, 24. On the. 14 th January, 1807, he captured, off the island of St. Domingo, the French na tional schooner Dauphin, of 3 guns and 71 men, and he then associated himself with Captain W. F. Wise, of the Mediator, 32, and succeeded, by well conducted strata gem, in approaching, through a most difficult navigation, the Fort of Samana, a notorious nest for privateers, which, after a cannonade of four hours, and a loss to ' the British of two men killed and 16 wounded, was ultimately stormed and carried with great gallantry by the boats of the two ships under Lieutenants H. L. Baker, J. Norton, and Shaw. On his return to England in the Mediator, Captain Dacres (in December, 1807) was placed on half-pay, and from that time we do not again find him afloat until= appointed (16th March, 1811)16 the 'Guerriere, an old worn-Out frigate, carry - , ing 48 guns (yielding a broadside weight of 5171 b.), dan 244 men. On the 19th of August, 1812, being on her way to Halifax, after a very long cruise, this vessel en countered and came to close action with the - United States' 'ship Constitution, of 57 guns (throwing a broad side, weight of 7681 b.) and 460 men. After nobly strug. gling with her huge antagonist for nearly an hour and three quarters, the Guerri4re, having lost 15 men killed and 63' wounded, and being rendered quite ungovernable, with the loss of all her m asts, was at length obliged to surrender, in' so shattered a condition, ~indeed, that on the followingmorning she was set on fire and blown up. The Constitution's loss on that . Occasion am oun t e d t o a t least seven men -killed, and' as 'many wou n d e d.' - A - mong the badly wounded on board the Grierribre was her gal lant defender, Captain Dacres, himself, who received a musket ball in the back' while standing on the starboaid forecastle hammocks,: animating his crew ; but Who could not be prevailed upon to leave tile dectk. By the court martial which, on the 2d .of October following, • assembled on board the Africa,, 64, at Halifax, to try ' Captain Dacres for. surren.clerieg_his ship to the enemy, - he was, as may be readily imagined, unanimously and honourably acquitted of all blame on account of her cap ture. We afterwards find him in command, from the , 23d of July, 1814, to the ,18th of Sept., - 1818;'of _the Tiber, 38, on the Cork, Newfoundland, and Channel sta tions ; and, from the 28th of Oct,, 1833, until 1837, ofthe , Edinburgh, 74, in the Mediterranean. In the former ship Capt. Dacres took (on the Bth of March, 1815) the Leo, Americhn privatem of-7-guns an 41.93 men. He attained . flag rank ,on the 28th of June, 1338 ; and on the 9th of August; 183; - was appointed`. Cominande.r-in-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station (which was his laSt em ployment.) Rear-Admiral Dacres was presented with a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's-in consider ation of his wound." By his death the 'following pro .motions ensue "f-: • Vice-Admiral of the White, the Hon. G. Poulett, to be Vice-Admiral of the Red, • Vice-Admiral of the Blue, Hyde Parker, C. 8., senior naval Lord ofthe Admiralty, to be Vice;Admiral bf the White.

MOntague Stopford, commanding the Waterloo, 120, at Sheerness, Aide-do-cep to the Queen, 'to be Rear-Admiral of the Blue: - This leaves_ Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent, the senior captain' of the - fleet. , • Captain, the Right Hon. Lord G._Poulett becomes in receipt, of the half-pay of 14s. 6d. per diem, and Captain the Hon. Joieph Denmaii, commanding the Queen's steam-squadron,' the half-pay of 12s. 6d. per diem. By the above promotions' the • command -of the flag ship at the Nore and a'naval aide-de-camp ship 'to the Queen, fall to the gift of the First Lord of the Admiralty. NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS. The following appointments to this newly constituted movement to obtain volunteers for naval service were published at this port yesterday : Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., M.P. Captain Smart, K.H. (superintendent). Captain W. L. Sherringham, Captain Henry Broadhead, to the four divisions in Captain Peter Fisher, England. Captain Vashon Baker, Captain Jermingham, to Ireland. Captain Craigie, to Scotland. A paymaster, R.N., will be attached to each captain. The enrolment of men commences forthwith. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, went eat of the harbour yesterday after a refit. A large party of officers and ladies were on board. Among them were the Earl and Countess of Errol, Sir T. Troubridge, Mr. BailielCochrane, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, Captain the Hon. F. J. Pelham, Lady Mary Pelham, the Hon. Mrs. Denman, Lord Clarence Paget, &c. She cast • off from the hulk in harbour at 11.45 a.m., with all her weights on board,' ex cept powder, shell, and a little bread, her draught being 23 feet 6 forward, and 25 feet aft. She ran through Spithead (after saluting the Port Admiral), and down to the westward to allow of her machinery being brought up to its full power. In consequence of time pressing, the ship was brought to the measured mile in Stokes' Bay before the steam was properly up ; but this affected the first run only (13'186 knots). Six consecutive runs were made, the mean of which gave a rate of 11 . 199 knots per hour, and 61 revolutions of the screw per minute. On the run a considerable bend was made in consequence of a vessel getting on the course, which materially - impaired the result s If the first and fifth runs be rejected for the above reasons, the result will be accurately as follows : Second iun 9'207 Third run ... 13 . 483 11 . 345 actual result. Fourth run ... 9 . 160 11.321 11'333 These runs fairly represent the capabilities of the ship and engines in smooth water. The revolutions of the screw were 62 when not running head to wind. A better day for the trial could not have occurred at this time of the year ; and the whole of the six runs were well sustained as to full speed from the time of attaining it during the first run. Mr. John Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery in the Surveyor of the Navy's Department of the Admiralty, was on board to note the trials for official report ; Mr. John Penn, the constructor of the engines of the St. Jean d'Acre, was also on board, tog e . ther with the scientific officers of this dockyard, and most of the naval officers studying steam at the Royal Naval College. The pressure of steam was from 171 b. to 201 b. Rear Admiral Berkeley's visit to the St. J ean d'Acre last week was in connection with her armament. It appears she mounts 20 68-pounders on her lower deck and eight on the main deck, all the rest being long 32's, except the odd gun on the forecastle, a 95 cwt. g un , landed by the Duke of Wellington, and which throws a solid 68-pounder shot. Since she has been here she has been completely gutted ; her chain cable lockers have been moved forward, a distilling galley fitted, and a false keel added. She now stows four months' provisions well, and 480 tons of coal. The galley runs off from 1,000 to 1,200 gallons of water daily. The ship came to Spithead 111 short of her complement ; she has " run" 16 while here, but is now only 30 short of 900, and these 30 are waiting to join:her at Plymouth. She sails on Tuesday for Lisbon. When the artificers in the royal dockyards in future receive injuries in the execution of their duty which are of such a nature as to render it necessary to send them to a naval hospital, they are to receive half their pay, the same as though they were hurt and attended by the surgeon of the dockyard at their own dwellings. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 3. Her Majesty's steam -frigate Vulture, Captain Glasse, sailed yesterday afternoon for Jersey to assist a disabled merchant-vessel. From that island she will proceed to Greenock. The Racehorse, 14, Commander E. Barnard, was masted yesterday. She will bear a complement of 130 officers and men, and is destined for the East India sta tion. The steam-tender Avon sailed on Friday with super andserei,men belonging to the St. Jean d'Acre. The H T . h i l eivli steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain MediterraneauZill call hero on her way to the with a boat 42 feet volunteers, and will be supplied :t long, coppered.

Captain Russell immediately took her in tow, but had frequent occasion to stop, through the part ing of hawsers, chains, cables, &c., in consequencea the very heavy westerly swell which prevailed. After hav ing had her in tow and in -company for 20 hours, the captain of the Paris reported that the water was gaining on them so fast that they could not keep it under, and he therefore gave up charge to the Douro, upon which Captain Russell sent his second officer, Mr. Kel lock, second and third engineers, and fireman in charge of the Paris, still keeping her towing slowly. By great skill and energy Mr. Paul, the chief engineer of the Douro; succeeded in making a temporary -repair-4n the broken part of the engines, and in getting up steam in two of the boilers, by which some headway was ob tained, and in this condition she was brought safely into the Sound about 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Douro, being furnished with supplies through the company's agents, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co., left for Southampton at 2 o'clock this morning. The disabled steanier, Paris, is commanded by Mon sieur Amene. • She left Havre in ballast, No. 27, for Cette, and is intended for the station bet Ween Marseilles and Algeria. The French Consuls, Messrs. Luscombe, Driscoll, and Co., have taken charge. SHEERNESS, DEC. 3. The Majestic, 80 guns, new screw steam-ship; was towed down here from Chatham yesterday evening for the purposes of having her machinery fitted, and being brought forward for immediate commission. The Sidon, 22, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Captain George Goldsmith, made her number from Portsmouth at 2.30 p.m. this day, and saluted the flag of Vice-Admi ral of the White the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., &c.- The Sidon has brought round from Portsmouth seamen riggers to assist in navigating the Royal George, 120, screw steam -ship, from this port to Devonport. She has also brought volunteers for the ships fitting at this port. The Sidon, after landing seamen riggers and disposing of the volunteers for ships fitting here, proceeded L on for Chatham. The Diamond, 28 guns, Captain William Peel.—The 29th of this month is the day named for this ship to be ready for sea and to be at the Nore. It is reported that Captain Peel has interceded with the Admiralty, and obtained an order for the crew being paid their advance at the Nore, previously to her departure from this port for the westward, -and the remainder of her crew at the western ports, who are waiting her arrival round, will receive their advance at Devonport. For this the tradesmen here are solely indebted .to Captain Peel, as it has been the practice, with few exceptions, that no advance has been made to crews .fitting ships' out here until they have' arrived at their last port of call previously to their leaving. England . for their respective stations, and, under these circumstances, no opportunity has been granted for the seamen - desirous of making re mittances to their families or 'creditors. This method has been loudly protested against by most of the volun teers who have recently entered the service as old men of-war's men. - DEO. 4. In consequence of the dense fog in which the entire Medway has been wrapped for the last 36 hours, nearly all communication with the ships in harbour has been suspended. Such ,a heavy fog has not been experienced here- for many years. The barometer is down to 2P '10; and the thermometer 'stands at 33 deg. Fahrenheit. Snob is the density of the fog that it penetrates -the thickest cloth much quicker than a heavy fall of rain would, and is extremely oppressive to the lungs. WOOLWICH, DEC 3. The Rosamond, 6, paddle-wheel_steamsloop, of 280-, horse power, having. been refitted and made ready for sea at this port, was taken out of the basin yesterday, and prOceedeCimmediatelpunden, the charge of Lieu tenant Robertson, of the steam - reserve department, for Greenhithe, where she is to have her compasses adjusted, and will leave '-to-day, if the fog will, permit 3. for trial between the Nore and Mouselights. On . the conclusion of the trial, and, if found satisfactory, the Rosamond will be taken to Sheerness, where he is ,to . be stationed as an advance war , steamer, ready for •sea at any 'mo ment she may be required. The Ithadamarithus, paddle-wheel steam transport, •M and storeship, af3ter Commander Belatn, has had her orders to proceed to .Cliatham ' to convey the converted mahogany timber for the new Royal steam-yacht Wind- SM. Castle, building at Pembroke, covntermanded, 'and 'she will - be fitted with all possible despatch, and proceed immediately to the • Mediterranean station. The Rha damaithus will require a few additronal able seamen for that service. • • - • •• • • The Bosoawen, 70, Captain Glanville, has been taken into dock at Chatham, and will be ready to receive on board on Tuesday next the complement of officers and non-commissioned officers appointed to serve in her' on the North America, and West Indies station. . The detachment from Woolwich of, the Royal Marines fur service in the Boscawen, consisting of Lieutenants Delacombe and` Harrington, two sergeants, two .cor- - porals, one drummer, and 50 privates, left the dock yard station of the North Kent Railway at half,past twelve o'clock yesterday for Strood en route to Chat and they are to be accommodated in the barracks of the - Chatham division of the Royal Marines until the Boscawen is ready for their reception. The senior sergeant of the Royal Marines selected for the Bos cawen belongs to the Woolwich division, and for the last three years was employed on the recruiting ser vice at Leeds, until he was ordered to join at head quarters to embark for service at sea. The con duct of the sergeant was so satisfactory to the inha bitants of the district in which he was employed on the recruiting service that several respectable persons who used to meet with him at Mr. John Long s, the Red Lion, Vicar's-croft, resolved to present him with a handsome watch and guard,. on his being recalled to head-quarters, as a mark of their appreciation of his conduct. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT PORTSMOUTH. THE AUTHORITY OF THE QUEEN DEFIED BY A RUSSIAN OFFICER, The public have been informed that the Russian frigates Aurora and Navarin have been allowed to enter Portsmouth harbour for the purposes of repair. Some little time ago some of the sailors belonging to those ships not relishing the service in which they had been compulsorily engaged, determined: to take advantage of the immunity afforded to them by the laws of our free country, and to leave the service of the Czar. Accord. ingly six of them having contrived to get on shore at Portsmouth, proceeded towards London, and had nearly reached Guildford, when they were overtaken by an officer of the Russian frigate Aurora, accompanied by an English inspector of police, and were by them brought back by railway to Portsmouth. Here they were placed on board the English ship Victorious, that vessel having been placed at the disposal of the captain of the Aurora, for the accommodation of himself and his crew during the execution of the repairs required by their frigate the Aurora. The deserters thus brought back, were confined on board the Victorious, and as it is asserted were submitted there by the Russian officers to severe corporeal punishment. These infractions of the law of England became known in London. Pawns proceeded to Portsmouth to ascertain the circumstances of the case, and on their instructions an affidavit was made in due form, and a writ of _Habeas Corpus was issued by Mr. Justice Wightman ' directed to Rear-Admiral Martin, the Admiral Superintendent of Dockyard at Portsmouth, and as such commanding all the ships in ordinary in that har bour ; to Captain Edward Hinton Scott, the captain of the Guard-ship of the Ordinary ; to Captain Iwan Niko lajewiez Izelmetiew, commanding the Russian frigate Aurora, and to any other person having the custody of the sailors in question (their names being set out at length), commanding them in the name of the Queen of England to have the bodies of the said sailors immedi ately before the Lord Chief Justice of England. On this writ being served on Rear-Admiral Martin he de clined to obey it until he had communicated with the Admiralty. Captain Scott being absent ou leave, could not be served, but the writ was served upon Commander William Worsfold, officiating for Captain Scott in his absence. This officer's answer was that he would con sult the officer commanding in chief at Portsmouth. The writ waenext taken to the Captain of the Aurora. The Russian declined receiving it (although its nature was fully explained to him( except through the Russian Ambassador or consul. The consul being absent the vice consul was waited on and his assistance requested, but he positively refused to interfere, alleging the absence of his superior as his excuse. The writ was then taken on board the Aurora, but the person bearing it was re fused access to the captain, and not allowed to come on board, and when it was tendered to the lieutenant, who appeared at the gangway, that officer declined receiving it. The bearer then, as he went down the side of the ship, placed it in through one of the port holes, but the lieutenant having purceived this, took the writ up and threw it from the ship, and it fell into a boat alongside. There are witnesses ready to attest all these facts. it now remains to be seen whether Russian officers can with impunity, whilst in this country, and whilst on board, not of their own ships, but of British men-of war, despise the authority of the Queen of this realm de legated-to the judges of the land. Also whether the Queen'sotl e r naval uni f orm officers c an exemptat Portsmouth Rear-Ad mi ral who are Martin ' and the concerned. announced in general orders of the 16th and 17th ult..— ,‘5 GENERAL ° o Rp i E ct, Nov.' 16, 18531 ') " Her Majesty has been pleased to approve of the following promotions in the Royal Regiment of Artillery ? viz.:— " Second Captain Robert Talbot, to be captain, vice Wodehouse, deceased.

HUDSON, Mr. Rolt resumed his" arguments this morning in this case, relative to certain exceptions taken by the defen dant to' the certificate of the chief clerk of his honour, under which certificate the defendant had been declared to be indebted to the plaintiffs in the sum of 54,5901., in reference to certain share and other transactions Alleged to have been improperly negotiated by the defendant while acting in the capacity of chairman' of the York and North Midland Railway Company. The first exception taken to-day was relative to an item of 2,3371., in respect of 100 shires which the defendant contended he ought not to be charged with, inasmuch as they formed part of 1,800 shares which the plaintiffs had- allowed in :court that he was not to be called on to account for. The next exoeptifin Was" with regard to a Slllalk of 2,9311., found by the chief clerk to be due from the defendant to the plaintiffs, in respect of 200 shares allotted or transferred t• a Mr. Close, as the, plaintiffs, contended, in; trust and for the benefit - of ,the defendant, but which trust the defendant, Ori the other hand, Contended' there was no evidence to prove, and nothing before the' Court or in the transactions to show. There was also •another sum. of 7681. similarly and, as the defOndant alleged, improperly charged against'him. A further ex- . ception was taken against the chief clerk's certificate in regard to a sums of 6,3001., which the defendant had stated in his answer to have been distributed by him in' the shape of shares to certain persons of influence con nected ,4tli the landed interest and Parliament, for the purpose of securing their good offices in connexion with .the operations of the railway company, and which he therefore claimed, but which the chief clerk disallowed as a set-off. The defendant having distributed these shares under a pledge of secrecy, had refused,, on the plea that it would be dishonourable and improper fo—dis close the names of the persons to-whom they Were given, and to make a discovery to that effect in his answer or in open court, but offered to do so to his Honour in pri vate. The defendant had also claimed, and the chief clerk had disallowed, another set-off of 3,1201. which he had paid on behalf of the company to defray the expenses of obtaining an act of Parliament applied for by the cor poration of York, but which the defendant, while Lord Mayor of York, had promised on the part Of the railway company to indemnify the corporation against, and which he hakl, agreeably to - such promise, paid when called upon by the corporation to do so. The object of the act so applied for and obtained was to construct a bridge across the river Ouse, and otherwise contribute to the improve ment of the works of the railway company, the approaches to their station, &c. There were various other excep tions taken by the defendant to the certificate of the chief clerk, hut, inasmuch as they were connected in detail with the above items, and would be governed by the decision given with respect to them, they Wore not gone into. The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment Severally on the different exceptions, disallowed them all ; and held, with respect to the item of 2,337/., that the chief clerk had decided correctly, and that the exception was founded on a misconception as to the rights of the parties. The plaintiff's position in regard. to the shares was as follows :—There had been 12,070 shares (incor rectly stated in Saturday's report as 11,500) placed at the disposal of the directors. Concerning 5,396 of these shares there was no dispute, and this number being deducted from the 12,070 left a balance of 6,674, which balance the defendant was originally charged with having improperly dealt with. Subsequently, how ever, the plaintiffs had allowed that the defendant was not to be charged with 1,800 shares out of this balance, so that, deducting the 1,800 from the 6,674, it left the defendant, 4,874 shares to account for, and they (the plaintiffs) could not call upon him to make good any greater amount than that number. But it was argued that these particular 100 shares were part of the 1,800 shares, but it did not appear from the evidence that they were so ; inasmuch as the reason why the 1,800 shares were allowed to the defendant was, because it' did not appear that they had been distributed for the private benefit of the directors, whereas the evidence went to show that these 100 shares had been given to the de fendant's brother-in-law, Nicholson, for the defendant's benefit and advantage. With respect to the 200 shares on account of which the defendant was charged with the sum of 2,9311., and which were transferred to Mr. Close and others, it was contended that they were not so trans ferred for the benefit of the defendant ; but the Court was not of this opinion, and therefore the defendant must account for them. The same decision would apply to the sum of 7681. As to the 6,3001. in respect to the shares distributed by the defendant, or under his direc tion, to conciliate the interest of certain partie's in and out'of Parliament, whose names the defendant had re fused to discover, the defendant must also be held re sponsible for this. Such a distribution was exceedingly improper, and as little creditable to the parties receiving as to the defendant who bestowed. The whole transac tion appeared inexplicable to the Court. As td the sum of 3,120/. paid to defray the expenses incurred by the cor poration in carrying the bill mentioned through Par liament, the defendant must also be held accountable for this, inasmuch as the defendant, either in his character as chairman, or otherwise, had no power to enter into or carry out such a negotiation. The court had no doubt in this last transaction that the defendant had really endeavoured to act for the benefit of the railway company, and had bona-fide paid the money ; and also that it came somewhat oppressively upon him to be called upon him to refund it ; but, still, as the plaintiffs urged the matter, there was no question but that the defendant was liable, and must account for , the sum which he had improperly caused to be expended. The court would express no opinion as to the propriety of the corporation entering into the transaction, and lending itself to carry out the objects suggested by the company to which the defendant acted as chairman. , The Solicitor-General applied to have the sum of 54,5901., in which amount the defendant had been de clared to be indebted to the plaintiffs, paid over to them, or paid into court ; upon which a discussion arose as to the time when such sum should be directed to be paid. The Master of the Rolls eventually made an order that 20,0001., part of such sum, should be paid into court on or before the Ist day of Hilary Term, and the residue remain over to be paid into court on or before the Ist day of Eastern term ; the whole to be payable to the plaintiffs (subject to the appeal) on the Ist of August, 1854. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Palmer, and Mr.Hobhouse appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Rolt and Mr.Toller for the defendant. THE CHILDREN OF THE POOR. • . . (From the Times • - .• It is almost needless to say that in any gr it ptati for ' the elevation of the labouring class it is to the children that the most important efforts must be directed, and from their improvement that enduring success must be hoped. Where years of ignorance and gross self-inda r gence have done their worst on father and mother, there _ is yet hanging about the sordid dwelling an infant brood, exposed imbed from the cradle to the contagion of bodily disease aid mental depravity, but capable Of being rescued from this double curse; and of growing up into men and women, made strong, healthy, and fit for labour, by ,the rime improved circumstances which would render Pion saving, well-conducted, and civil. In the observations which we have made on the want of dwellings for the class who live by labour in the great towns, and more particularly i n th e ca pit a l, we ex pressed a belief flat workpeople in the receipt of fair wages were compelled by the want of fit places of abode to associate with and fall into the habits of 'the outcasts of society and, if that be the case with adults, whose character age hasfully matured, what must be the effect on those whose irst conceptions and first desires are prompted by the spectacle of habitual brutality and daily recurring v:ce ? What can the most unwearied philanthrophy effect against the example of what we suppose must be culled home and friends ? The few hours of the ragged-school can no more counteract the evil lessons of a week than the occasional excursion to the suburbs can restore the impaired health of half a year. Yet families of ciildren, for whom healthy and decent dwellings are especially necessary, are, in the present state of things, ccndemned to a more wretched kind of tenements fthan families consisting of adults. All who have the means of knowledge state that for the labour ing man with a young family to obtain suitable accom modation is almost impossible. The mention of children is enough to cloke the door of the lodging-house in the face of the houselass father. Of course, this is natural ; children are' a trouble, and, where landladies can let their rooms -to repro quiet occupants, they will not re ceive the noisy and mischievous progeny of the artisan. But still the public should be aware that the youthful population who vill form the. working men and women of the next geneation are, by the necessary operation of existing "circumstances, placed in a' less favourable position for-the growth of health and morality than even the adult population whose condition is so march. de plored. Whole families, consisting of father, mother, and seven or eiglt children, are crowded together into a single room; in some noxious court, at a rent which mates a couple ofruinous houses a sufficient support to the middleman w/aolets them ; and not only good health is impossible, but decency and self-respect are, soon de stroyed. The• father's work is in the neighbourhood, and the must lire there. The cleaner and healthier lodging-Ulises Rill not admit him on account of his family, and he - must be content with the places which receive children, invariably the most filthy and pestilent of their :class. Such, are the prospects of morality and civilisation in the coming age. The large families of the labouring class must be taken into account in any system. for providing suitable habi tations.; In Paris. the. case is very • different. . The French are nowhere a very prolific' people ; and in the capital the• population would actually diminish were it not kept, up by supplies. from without. Few Parisian couples have more than two or three chiidren—a large number have none at all, and an average of five children to every three couples would be near the mark. There fore the ", appaileirteiii,7': which is the general habita tion of . all classes, is, both convenient and healthy. Grown-up.people can remain in rooms, and keep their health by .moderato daily exercise ; but to dispose of half-a-dozen children in a flat at a great height from the ground is difficult. They must either, be confined to narrow rOOrns,'which would be extremely unhealthy, or allowed to - wa. - iider far out of sight. and hearing' into the street below. It - is well' that all 'objections'to scheme should be- considered, and how to accommodate to the wants of - a teeming population edifice's which are suitable in other respects is a question the' solution of which is necessary to any successful effort. From all sides there are.accounts of the good effects of infant and ragged schools. It is said that the children exhibit attachment to those who teach them, and great powers of acquiring knowledge. That much haS been done in' the education is abundantly proved by statistical _returns, and it is evident from each man's observation. The rising generation are being almost as completely instructed in the rudiments of knowledge-as Prussians or Americans. Add to this, that the labours of those whe may be said to devote themselves to the poor' are now fully appreciated. The clergy, the gratuitous. teachers, the district visitors, are received with welcome •and spoken of with affection by those who, twenty years back, had only a curse or a laugh for any that offered advice . or attempted instruc tion. All experience is in favour of the rapid ameliora tion of even the grown-up labourer, if placed under con ditions which admit of it ; and of course the Children will be whatever they are made. But, though the efforts of the philanthropist are unwearied, and his suc cess may be deemed.. satisfactory, there is yet atweight which is continually dragging down the objects of his benevolence, and which makes his labours productive of merely partial good when they might result in complete and lasting improvement. Each day's experience con firms the opinion that the wretched physical condition of the poor is the cause of that moral degradation which is their reproach, and furthermore that this condition could be raised by means within the reach of society. We think that the working men with young families would be among the first to avail themselves of im proved accommodation ; they have not the wander. ing habits and the love of dirty independence which mark the lowest part of the people ; and the order which a company's lodginghouses must ex act would not be felt as a restraint. A similar class in a neighbouring country are found quite willing to inhabit the dwellings which, with the assistance of Government, have been prepared for them, although there they are subject to. a surveillance as strict as that of a barrack. In this country no such interference would make the operative's life uncomfortable, and he would soon dis cover that whatever regulations it was necessary to obey were advantageous to himself. It is to this class, to men who are in unwilling bondage to their present mode of life, and who yearn after a better, that the care of the benevolent might well be directed, even in preference to those who are considered fitter objects for charity and instruction, because their wretchedness is more complete and their depravity more glaring. People who have sufficient honesty to engage in steady work have gene rally some wish to elevate themselves and theirs, and should not be neglected in favour of those whose title to regard is, in fact, founded on their idleness and vices. House-visitants during the ensuing winter would be well employed in discovering which of the poor families in their districts are unwilling sufferers from the great evil of insufficient houseroom in towns, what are their feel ings in respect of d%Vellings such as have been advocated, what .objections are entertained, what erroneous notions have taken root. .The information derived from such sources, when properly combined, might form grounds for a better calculation as to the success of schemes in -stall-Ea by private enterprise, "as well - as furnish hints for insuring it. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MA.NORESTER, Dec. 2.—With certain exceptions, we have still to report a very dull market in yarns and goods, with a bias in prices against producers rather than any general quotable change. Double yarns, about 40's, continue exceedingly scarce and dear. In 16's and 18's pin-cops, there has been a fair amount of buying by the makers of domestics, several of whom, induced by lowness of price, have made engagements for some weeks 'for ward ; and these spinnings aro consequently not to be had at the previous depressed rates. The Calcutta merchants see sufficient promise in the advices received on Tuesday evening to warrant their giving orders for considerable quantities of light 40-inch shirt ings, and 6-4th jacconets, and, in a less degree, for mule yarns, particularly 40's. GLASGOW, Dec. 2.—Tho demand for cotton this week has been confined to the immediate wants of the trade. Quotations are the same for all descriptions. BRADFORD,. Dec. I.—Wool—The impression is that prices have seen the lowest point at present. Noils and brokes are more inquired for ; prices without alteration, and stocks are low. The prices sought for yarns pre vent any more machinery being put to work, and short time working is very general. NoTrilimilm, Dec. - I.—The two staple trades of this town are in a depressed state, but the lace is more so than:the hosiery business, but no causes of depression have arisen beyond those which in previous numbers we have already explained. LEICESTER,.. Dec. I.—The late severe weather has given an impetus to the fancy and glove branches. The want of employment is oily at present confined to the stocking•makers. SOUTH-WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION. The Pleption. of a,knight of the shire for this divisipn I:;fthe 9 , County of Warwick, in the room Oe.Lord Brobke, now by the death of his father elevated to the earldom of Warwick, took place_on SaturdaY. Mr. E. P. Shir ley, o Eatington-park, was the only candidate, and the proceedings did, not appesi to excite the slightest inte rest, even in the county town. Mr. Shirley was accompanied to the County-hall, the place of eliction, by the Hon. B. Percy, Mr. Dickens, the chairman of the quarter sessions, and a small but influential body of personal and political friend. There were not, however, more than about 100 electors pre= sent. The usual formalities'being gone through, The Hon. R. Iticv . proposed Mr. Shirley as a fit and proper person to represent the sodthern division of War wickshire, and in doing so referred to the expected . new Reform Bill, and expressed a hope that Parliament in the 19th century would be wise enough to let well alone. Mr. DICKE±i'S seconded the nomination. He passed a high eulogium upon the political character and conduct of the present Lord Warwick, who he stated the longer he was known as their representative in the House of Commons was the more respected by the constituency of South Warwickshire. (Cheers.) Mr. Dickens next referred to the , passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, the Reform Bill, and the repeal of the corn laws, and that, although at the time a Protectionist, he .had no wish under the present circumstances to return to the system of protective duties. (Hear, hear.) The great question of the day was that of social improvement ; and to that without doubt the attention of Parliament, and their own member in particular, would be directed. Mr. SHIRLEY having been declared duly elected, ac knowledged the honour in a short speech, in which he made no other political declaration than that his opi nions would be found to coincide with those of the ma jority of the electors of South Warwickshire. The proceedings from the commencement to the con clusion did not last half an hour. THE ARMY• ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, DEC. 3.—Major Morris's company, 12th battalion, returned to head quarters yesterday from Shoeburyness, the practice there having been discontinued until the spring of next year.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS, Dec. 2.—We have nothing of importance to notice in the state of the woollen market ; there has been . no change since our report of this day week. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 29.—We have had rather more doing ,to-day, in the Cloth-hall, quite as much as we usually have at this time of the . year ; there have been, moreover, plenty of people about ready to pick up any thing under the mark. Prices, on the whole, are toler ably .well maintained. ROOFIDALE, Nov. 28.—The market has again been inactive, and 'the business transacted has been upon a limited scale. In the wool market there is little change since last week ; firm prices are obtained, but the de mand is limited. HALIFAX, Nov. 26.—We have had a very indifferent trade this week, both in pieces and yarns. Wools, owing to their comparative scarcity in the market, are more inquired for, and useful combing kinds are inclined to be dearer. Middle wethers have fetched 150. per lb., and there are parties who hold for 16d.

GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY. 'A - fire of a very alarming nature, and attended with the destruction of many . thOtisand pounds worth 'of pro perty, broke out at midnight on Saturday, and up to five o'clock last eveninOvas not entirely extinguished. The scene of this. terrible disaster was an extensive pile of warehouses in Upper Thames-street, in the occupation of Messrs Selby and Co., Birmingham Brass and Iron Tubing Company; Messrs Gomel! and Co., hair-brush manufac turers and perfumers ; and Messrs. Saunders, paper box and bag mannfacturers, and several other merchants. roe building, which was between eighty and ninety feet high, contained seven spacious floors used as manufactories or warehouses. A narrow cartway, called Anchor-alley, separated Vintners' Hall from the burning premises on the east side, and 'a similar court, termed Worcester place, ran on the western side between the building and the extensive property belonging to Messrs. R. W. Kennard and Co., stove and general iron merchants, so that as soon as the fire began to gain a head it was feared that many of the contiguous and opposite ware houses would have . been destroyed. 'At that time the fire appeared at the ,east end of the third floor, and it was the opinion of the firemen that by great exertion they would be enabled to confine it to that portion of the biiilding. Unfortunately, for some time only a li mited supply of water could be obtained—barely suffi cient to allow the ••firethen to enter the building with anything like safety. The men, however, in their anxiety to, preserve the premises, entered the floor on fire at one. end, aqd whilst 'directing the branch against the flames, they shot to the other end of the warehouse, and fired the whole_ of that part of the premisefi, so that the principal clerk, the engineer, and two firemen, very nearly perished. The fire was discovered by the police man on day, and the engines were very quickly on the spot, together with a strong detachment of firemen and police. • In'spite of every exertion, the flames continued to 'spread ti the 'floors belonging to Messrs. Gosnell and Co., enveloping the whole of the stock in trade belonging to' that firm, valued at some thousand pounds sterling. From that Tart of the premises the tire rushed into the floors :13elonging ,to Messrs. Saunders, paper box and bag makers, situated on the fifth and sixth floors. The contents of those last-named floors were of a most combustible nature. Mr. Braidwood, on seeing that the fire was progressing so rapidly, at once gave orders for one of the men to call the powerful steam-float, lately built for the London Brigade. The call was given from Southwark-bridge, but so denSe was the fog at the time that the parties in charge of the float knevi not for some time to which side of the water to take the ponderous machine. Not withstanding, however, the many tons of water momen tarily scattered over the conflagration, the work of de vastation 'continued, and floor after floor kept falling until five had been destroyed. . . . . _ _ As to.the origin of the fire no satisfactory information could be obtained. The whole of the workpeople left at eight o'clock, when the premises appeared perfectly safe. The following is the official report of the damage done :--- " Saturday, Dec. 3, 1853.—Called at twelve o'clock p.m. by strangers and police to a fire on the premises, numbered 68, Upper Thames-street, City, which did the following damage : " MeSsrs. Pi:ice and Gosnell, brushmakers and per fumers, occupying the second, third, and fourth floors —Burned out, and the contents consumed. Insurance unknown at present. The building belongs to the Mer chant Tailors Company, and was supposed to be in sured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office. " Messrs. Selby and Johns, Birmingham Iron and Brass Tubing Company, on the ground and first floors —Damaged by fire and water. Insurance unknown at present: _ " Messrs. J. and E. Saunders, paper-boxmakers The fifth and sixth floors burned out, the contents de stroyed, and the roof burned out. Contents insured in the Atlas Fire-office. " No: 67, in the same street (Messrs.

Water from the Thames and New River; the latter scanty at first." _ ALLEGED MURDER IN NEWGATE ' MARKET.-SINGULAR CASE. An inquest, which excited considerable interest, was held by Mr. W. Payne, the coroner of London, on Saturday last, at the Red Cross Tavern, Newgate-mar ket, on the body of John Charles, aged 28, a master milkman and cow-keeper, who, it was alleged, had been poisoned by some one in order to get possession of his property. • The inquiry was instituted in consequence of a -letter having been sent to the coroner requesting him to be kind enough to inquire into the cause of the deceased's death, as it was strongly suspected that poison had been administered to him in some gruel, and as his cows had been diminishing in number, and his body after death was found to be much swollen, the' writer thought it it a fit case for an inquest. The coroner therefore gave orders to the ward beadle to get what evidence he could, and, at-the - same time, gave orders for a post mortem examination of the body to be made. The usual preliminaries of opening the court and swearing in the jury having been gone through, the fol lowing evidence was taken by the coroner : Arthur Wynn, of 2, Crown-court, Newgate, said that he had known the deceased for some years. He used to lodge at Mrs. Hookey's, the Blue Cross coffee-house. He was a master milkman, and car ried on business at Mrs. Sharmen's the Oxford Arms yard. On Thursday week, at half-past three o'clock in the morning, on witness going to the cow-house to milk the• cows, he found the deceased lying on some hay in the loft. He asked him what he wanted there ? When he replied that he had been out late the over night, and could not get into his lodgings. At the same time he said ho was very thirsty. A medi cal gentleman was sent for, who attended and pre scribed for him, but he died on Saturday week. By the Coroner—l have no suspicion that anything wrong has been given him. I have heard it rumoured that he had been poisoned; but I do not believe it. Charles Higgs, of 66, Union-street, Hoxton, said he had known the deceased for eight months, during which time he had suffered from a cough. He saw him on Saturday week, when he told witness that he was going to die. He also said that he had been drinking rather freely. He did not complain of any wrong having been done to him, and witness had no suspicion that anything improper had been given to him. Mr. Evan Riches, of 10, Dorrington-street, Brookes market, Holborn, said, that the deceased was his nephew. He had not seen much of him lately, and was not present at his death. He did not believe harm had been done to him by any one. The Coroner—Have ,you not administered to his pro perty ? Witness—Yes,' I have, as being his nearest relative. The Coroner—But is his father not alive ? Witness-1 cannot tell. A female present said that his father was alive. John Jones, a, friend of deceased, said, that Six or eight weeks ago he saw him beaten by a butcher, when he complained of pains in his side. Another person named Williams was also beaten at the same time. Mr. Benjamin Williams, of 25, Addle-hill, dairyman, said he had known the deceased for seven years. About six - or seven weeks ago two men named Dowding and Leo were drinking in a public house together, and the deceased and witness were in another part of the room. Witness made use of an expression which displeased Dowding, when he thrust him in the throat so as to nearly strangle him. The deceased remonstrated, when Dowding seized him by the hair, and dashed his head against the wall. He afterwards complained of his head being sore. Police-constable No. 294 of the City force said, that on the day of the quarrel mentioned by the last witness he was on duty, and in passing the house heard a scuffle, which induced him to stand in front of the door. De cased and Williams said that Dowding had been ill using them.; but as he did not see him do so, and saw no marks of violence on either, he advised-them to take out a summons. • Mrs. Elizabeth Wynn said that she attended on the deceased during his illness, on and off, until he died. She made him some gruel, which he took. On the day that he died he sent for her husband and asked him to_ take care of his property, and do the best he could with' it, LIQ also fled some pencil§ to whom he owed money, and requested that he would pay them. Mr. James Hay, surgeon, of Newgate-street, said that le had known the de cease d for many years. His health 'generally was good, unless when his breath was affected. He was sent for on this occasion, and fOund him suffer ing from delirium tremens. He gave him medicine, which appeared to do him good, but he got worse on the Saturday morning, and died the same day. He had since opened the body, but could discover, nothing to lead him to suppose that poison of any kind had been taken. The cause of death was from water on the chest no doubt accelerated by drink. The,co - roner ' having - summed up, the jury ; returned a verdicUti accordance with the medical evidence, andthe proceedings, terminated. FATAL EXPLOSION AT cirATHAm. On Friday night, about half-past nine o'clock, the in habitants of Chatham were thrown into a state of excite ment in consequence of a rumour, that a dreadful explo sion had occurred at the new gasworks recently erected near the St. IViary's Barracks for supplying the out parish of Gillingham with gas, and by which two lives had been sacrificed. It appears that two brothers, the Messrs. Rickon, have erected, at their own expense, extensive works near the river Medway, for the manufacture of gas on a large scale. The gasometer had been erected, and everything was so far completed that it was determined to fill the gasometer, preparatory to lighting up the parish on the following (Saturday) night. A large quantity of gas had been admitted into the gasometer, Mr. Rickon him self superintending the operation, when it was found that the gas was escaping from some part of it, and the engineer (John Ormsby Culyer), and also a workman named William Hall, proceeded to the top of it to see from what part the leakage came, incautiously taking with them a lighted candle. Mr. Rickson requested Calyer not to venture, but he appears to have disobeyed the order, for, immediately after reaching the top of the gasometer, the gas, coming in contact with the flame of the candle, blew up with a loud report. Culyer, the engineer, was blown a great distance into the adjacent marshes, and, when discovered was frightfully mangled, and of course quite dead. The body of Hall has not yet been discovered. The force of the explosion was so great as to blow out the top of the gasometer and break three of the guide lines. The other parts of the pre mises have received little or no damage. The body of Hall is supposed to be under the gasom- eter, whioh has several feet of water in it. It will be a oonsiderable time before . the works are in a fit state for the manufacture of gas, owing to this untoward acci dent. The inquest on the body of Calyer, the engineer, through- whom the accident originated, will be held on Monday before the coroner, Mr. T. Hills. SHIPPING RETURNS.
