THE constantly increasing bulk of the Metro polis, and the daily influx of visitors from country districts and foreign parts, are such as to render necessary a plain guide to the Proprietor's Warehouse. Be it remembered, therefore, that " 36, Ciracechurch-street. City," is in the immediate vicinity of the Monument and King William's Statute, at the foot of London bridge. Parties in quest of L. Hyam's trading premises are recom mended to keep these "landmarks" in view, in order to preclude the possibility of unnecessary trouble or disappointment. WHAT IS L. BYtki'S ESTABLISHMENT ? L. Hyam's Establishment is devoted to the manufacture and sale of Bespoke and Ready-made Attire for Gentlemen and Youths. Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits, in each of which branches its recommendati•ns are conspicuous. Novelty and elegance of style, coupled with superiority of materials of every description, are strik ingly developed in the Tailoring Department of L. Hyam's trade ; and durable, graceful, fashionable, fitting, and economical articles of Dress are, at all times, obtainable in this direction, to the complete satisfaction of the purchaser. L. Hyam's immense Stock of Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits, will stand the test of minute inspection, and, when submitted to a trial, will rise in the estimation of all classes of buyers. A judicious expenditure of adequate capital in securing the best materials and artists, and in advantageous retrenchments, is sufficiently evident on an examination and comparison of the various articles to which public attention has thus been invited. OBSERVE I—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition. L. HYAM, Tailor, Clothier, Hatter, Hosier, and General Outfitter, 36, Gracechurch-street, City. MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro luced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and a the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society Is tree.

Lessee, HENRY . THOMAS MUNDT, 160, Piccadilly. 6th May, 18'4$. cerned, if political favouritism prevailed through per sons in his department to the injury of the service, it would be pretty nearly the same as though it prevailed through the exercise of the influence of the surveyor himself ?—lt appeared to me then, and it appears to me now, that the only way of getting rid of that favourismTand the influence of Government, is by taking away the votes from the dockyards. There is no other way. Without that is done it always must pre vail. _ _ When this was brought to your notice by the Secre tary of the Admiralty, did your grace authorise the. issue of the circular of the 19th April, 1852, which cancelled Sir Francis Baring's circular of 1849 ?—Well, I sane- tioned it. I was Cognisant of it. But did you authorise it; did you give directions to the secretary to prepare the circular of the 19th April, 1852 ?--I did ma. You did not ?—I did not. I was cognisant of it, but I did not give those directions. But before it was issued was your grace cognisant of it ?—Before it was issued I was cognisant of it. " I wish to know, did your grace approve of it ?—No ; on every occasion when it was mentioned to me by Mr. Stafford in his representations I objected to interfere. I would not interfere because I had not sufficient experience, but he afterwards represented to me that Mr. Parker's cir cular had been written by him, and that it was not a minute of the board, and that he, as secretary, had the same power as Mr. Parker had. Ile said, also, that he ,would do so on his own responsibility. Did he bring in before your grace the original circular of Mr.-Parker, to which he referred ?—No, he did not. When he brought you the circular of the 19th of April, 1852, did your grace affix your signature or initials to it? - - - —He did not bring it. • You'did not then see the circular which had been pre pared by Mr. Parker, so as to know whether or not Sir Francis Baring's initials were affixed to it did not. If it had been brought to your grace's notice, that the circular of September, 1849, had affixed to it the initials of the First Lord, should you have considered it neces sary to take some liirther coilisideration before allow ing that circular to go forth—the circular of Mr. Stafford?—l can hardly answer what I might have done under the circumstances. Sir Francis Baring's name would not make it a legal document without the name of another Lord of the Admiralty. Then Sir Francis Baring's name being 'attached only showed that it had the sanction of the First Lord?— Yes. But this circular, as I understand, went forward with out the sanction of any lord annexed to it ?—Without the sanction of any lord annexed to it. Now, on the 21st of April, a few days after this circu lar had been issued, Admiral Parker, in his examination, stated to the committee that he had placed in your grace's hands Sir Baldwin Walker's letter of resignation ?—I have looked very carefully into that part of Admiral Parker's evidence, and I find he is very uncertain about his dates. I may mention at once that, until November, when it was referred to in the House of Commons, I did not know his letter of resignation had been sent in, or had existed. Admiral Parker, in his evidence, distinctly states that he took Sir Baldwin Walker's letter, tendering his resig nation, to the Admiralty to the Duke of Northumber land on the same day. Has your grace any recollection of that ?—None whatever. I have referred to all the dif ferent points in the evidence relating to Sir Baldwin Walker's resignation, and Captain mikes evidence as to Sir Baldwin Walker having mentioned that he wrote the letter when Admiral Parker and Captain Milne were in the room, and Captain Milne is asked when it was, and says the 25th or 26th of April. Then you have no recollection of Admiral Parker having either given you the letter or having related to you the purport of that letter ?—He never mentioned a word of the letter. He may have indirectly or indiscri minately have discussed the purport of the letter, though he never mentioned that there was a letter. Do you remember when he discussed first the purport of the letter ? On the 26th of April, which was the first day I heard of the order being out, and the minute of the 19th April was brought to my knowledge on Mon day, April 26, by Admiral Parker himself making the complaint from Sir Baldwin Walker. Captain Richards has brought to the notice of the com mittee a private letter written by Captain Pelham to Captain Richards, the superintendent of Chatham dock yard, inquiring whether any political influences were at work to hold back appointments for the promotion of men in the service in Chatham yard ; now I wish to ask your grace whether that inquiry was at all instituted by your grace's command ?—By no means ; I never knew of it. In that letter Capt. Pelham, your private secretary, states, " My chief is for the best man for the public ser. vice, and scorns a job;" and he writes to Capt. Richards respecting the appointment of a man to the metal mills at Chatham by Mr. Stafford, the man being reported unfit by Captain Richards ; and to this Captain Richards sent a reply on the 24th April. Does your grace remember whether that reply was brought under your notice ?—lt was ; the first complaint was from Sir Baldwin Walker early in April, and Captain Richards came to me on the 12th or 13th April. Captain Richards, in his letter, says he requested an interview in order to disabuse your grace's mind upon the question. It would appear, therefore, from his let ter, that he asked for an interview after he had written one letter, which it appears your grace granted. Now, at that interview did Captain Richards bring under your notice the case relating to Ridgway?—Yes, he did. He showed how Ridgway had formerly applied to Sir F. Baring for his intervention ?—Yes, he did. And he entered fully into the case, and showed that Ridgway had violated the spirit and words of the circu of 1847 ?—Yes. And then Captain Richards stated that he was satis fled with the interview with your grace, and that you expressed to him your conviction that he was doing his duty honestly and honourably ?—Yes, as a matter of course, as an officer, I was perfectly convinced that he was doing his duty, arid that he was right in not inter fering with matters of political influence. The words I made use of to Captain Richards in parting were, " If you ever have any interference in your duty, or if you ever have any complaint to make, come to me, and you may rely upon it I will support you." If, then, any accusation was made against Captain Richards that he interfered at all in politics, it would have been a violation of the order, and I understand you to say you quite acquit him of any such imputation ? I never had a question about it, no such imputation ever came to me. I only mention my belief in the character of Captain Richards, but there never was a question. In Captain Richards' reply to Captain Pelham, he " begs and entreats that the case may be thoroughly sifted." Now when this was brought to your grace's notice at the interview, did you feel so satisfied, that you considered no inquiry necessary ?—:1 knew nothing about the letter. I was not cognisant of the letter. Captain Richards had been to me to explain the matter in full, and he said very naturally that he never was influenced, as he was ordered not to take any part in p o liti cs . Captain Richards' impression was that he had read the letter to you ?—lt might have been, but I was not aware of it. It might have been. Capt. Richards in his evidence states that he asked your grace if he might have permission to read the letter from Mr. Stafford to him ?—He might have done so, and it is very likely he did. Did you hear from Mr. Stafford any ground for sup posing Captain Richards to be a political partisan I At this moment I don't recollect any question, cer tainly, with respect to Captain*Richards. Now, was your grace aware that Sir Frederick Smith had applied for the promotion of Ridgway? —I never heard one word about Sir Frederick Smith, or of any election connected with any one of the dockyards, either directly or indirectly. On 26th April it appears you saw the Surveyor of the Navy, and you had seen him previously to your representing to the Secretary of the Admiralty the an noyance the surveyor felt in regard to the issue of the former circular ?—lf I may explain, there is some little indistinctness in the recollection of Admiral Parker on that subject. It was on the morning of Monday, 26th of April, that Admiral Parker came to me to say that the Surveyor of the Navy was very much annoyed. and vexed at Mr. Stafford's cancelling the cir cular of 1849, that he considered it was a slur upon his character, and Admiral Parker spoke very warmly and justly on the subject, as he was an officer who felt any thing like a slur, and he also said that it would lower him in the estimation of the superintendents and officers, and he did not think that if the slur remained on the surveyor's character that he would remain in his office. I told Admiral Parker I was quite confident Mr. Staf ford never meant any disrespect to the surveyor, and that I would send him into Admiral Parker s room, where I understood the surveyor was, to remove any impression from the surveyor's mind that such was the case. It was an interview that lasted five or six minutes, and it was very ardent on the part of Admiral Parker, and very proper. After the interview on the 26th of April was a circu lar submitted to your grace for approbation ?—I sent for Mr. Stafford, and told him all the circumstances— all that Admiral Parker had told me. I said it was considered by the surveyor that this cancelling had cast a stigma on the surveyor, and I am very much afraid he will resign his office, and if he did resign his office, I said, though you, Mr. Stafford, may treat it lightly, it is a much more serious thing than you seem to think ; for if the surveyor does resign his office, I am not pre pared to propose a successor ; he has done his duty and good service, and I thought that good service should con tinue. Upon that, Mr. Stafford went to Admiral I Par ker's room, where the whole of the circumstances, be lieve, took place about the minute that wa s agreed to..r At the end of half an hour they ca me into m y room, Sir Baldwin Walker and Admiral Parker together. Sir Baldwin Walker explained to me how very much he was annoyed, and explained to me the matter very much in the same words as before, that he felt the circular was a censure on him, and which I of course felt a wish to re move. In a few minutes Mr. Stafford came in with a mi nute and read it to Sir Baldwin Walker and Admiral Par ker in my hearing. Sir Baldwin Walker, when it was read said, " I am perfectly satisfied ; " and Mr. Stafford answered that it should be read to the board as a mi nute' and they all went away. It does not qu it e agree with the evidence already given, but that was the case. • Then you bad read the circular before it was sub. [PRICE SD. mitted to the board ?—lt had been read in my room to the Surveyor of the Navy and Admiral Parker, and I was present, and that was the first day that I heard of the circular of the 19th of April having been issued. I did not know when it was issued. I observe that in Captain Milne's evidence it was brought to his notice, by the surveyor also, and the surveyor's letter was read in Admiral Parker's room to Admiial Parker. Captain Milne does not quite fix on the date. He seems to think it was on the 25th, 26th, or 27th of April. Then are the committee to understand that this was the first' time your grace gave your sanction to the circular of the 19th April ?--I was cogni sant of it before it was issued, and I knew that I was responsible for it ; but this was the first time that it was brought before me, and thus we knew it. It was a very nice point. I knew it. I fully countenanced it, Admiral Parker fully countenanced it, Captain Milne fully countenanced it, and we were aware of it, and certainly were responsible for it from that very moment. How far the other two members of the board were answerable I don't know. In the circular of April 26, 1852, it is stated that the circular of February 27, 1847, will be strictly adhered to, and that their lordships deemed it advisable to revert to the system then in force of having all communications addressed to the Admiralty in the first instance. As your grace by this time sanctioned the reversal of a sys tem that had been a system at the Admiralty for some years, may I ask your grace upon what grounds this reversal was based ?—May I ask what the matte; is— what we cancelled was reverting to Lord. Auckland's original regulation for promotions in the dockyard, which were these : The master shipwright on a vacancy named three persons, and named them to the superin tendent, who erased one name which he thought the least worthy of promotion. The superintendent then sent these two names to the secretary, who selected one, and that selection was the whole of the patronage the secre tary had in promotions. The circular of 1849 made this alteration. The superintendent sent these two names to the surveyor, and the surveyor selected one name, and so had the patronage. The question of pa tronage was one known to Lord Auckland and his suc cessor. It was reverting tO Lord Auckland's regulation, and my opinion now and then was that Lord Auckland was right. Does your grace mean that the surveyor had the ab solute choice of one name, or that when the two names were sent to him he forwarded them to the Admiralty, with his remarks I—l do not think he was justified by the circular of 1849 in making the selection, but he always did, it was a matter I never knew anything of, and of which I was not cognisant. But, on reading at tentively the circular of 1849, I do not think it justified the surveyor in taking the patronage. The circular of 1849 merely, as I understand, ordered that the correspondence from the superintendents should go through the surveyor before it came to the Admi ralty l—So I understand. After some further questions, and the examination of Commodore Eden and Captain Ilamilton, the committee adjourned to this day. DR. KING'S SARSAPARILLA COCOA.

THE COMMITTEE ON DOCKYARD PRO• MOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. Yesterday, leave having been given by the House o Lords for his grace the Duke of Northumberland, late First Lord of the Admiralty, to attend and be examined before the committee, the committee-room was crowded at an early hour. The noble duke arrived soon after 11 o'clock. Instead of occupying the witness-seat, his grace by some accident found himself in a seat at the table of the committee, and was by no means very audible at intervals in the delivery of his evidence. The Chairman (Lord Seymour), in addressing his lordship, said—Will your grace state to the committee what was the date of your accession to office ? I think it was on the 2d or 3d of March, 1852. Had you previously held any situation in any depart ment of any previous Government ?—Never. From the commencement of superintending the ad ministration of the Admiralty, were any arrangements made as to the distribution of its patronage among the lords and Secretary of the Admiralty ?—There was ; and I believe it has always been the custom among the dif ferent members of the board and among the different lords. I, for my own part, took all the naval and mili tary patronage, and gave up the civil patronage to the secretary. You gave up all the civil patronage to the secretary —Yes, excepting the master-shipwrights, and one class of messengers, which I reseffed for deservixorpoldierw• and marines. Is your grace aware whether it had been the custom before to give up the appointment of the principal officers in the dockyards to,the secretary /—I never inquired ; I had no knowledge on the subject either one way or the other. I may mention that Lord Ellenborough told me he never knew anything about the private patronage, but I only say that from hearsay. Then the committee are to understand that it was with your sanction Mr. Stafford had almost all the dockyard appointments ?—The whole of them, except in cases where it would be an honour conferred on a master ship wright that he should receive the appointment from the head of the establishment. I only reserved it for that reason, that it might be considered a degree of honour for a master shipwright so to receive it. It appears from the evidence that on April 2, 1852, Mr. Stafford wrote a letter to the Surveyor of the Navy, in which he stated there seemed no alternative but to resume the system that existed previous to September, 1849, and pointing to cancelling the circular of Sir F. Baring of September, 1849. Now, I wish to ask your grace whether you had given any directions to Mr. Staf ford before he wrote that letter ?—None. I may men tion that Mr. Stafford at various times had conversa tions with me on the subject. Ido not know whether the committee would wish to know what these represen tations were, but the letter was written without my knowledge, and without my knowing anything about it. Then your lordship had not considered, either one way or the other, the expediency of cancelling the cir cular of September, 1849 I—l had not. Was it represented to you by Mr. Stafford in those conversations that the surveyor's department appeared to use influence in favour of any political party I—The conversations were at various times, for many mornings, when he came to me, and they were to the effect that he was responsible for all the patronage of the Ad miralty—that he felt a difficulty in doing his duty—that when called upon by the Government or by the House of Commons to explain anything for which he was re sponsible, he had not the means of answering, the whole of the appointments and patronage being in the sur veyor's office. He told me also that the patronage of the Admiralty was used against the Government ; and lastly, the last time he spoke of it he said that he felt he had not the power of doing his duty, and that he could not retain his office under the circum stances, mentioning it only in conver sation ; an d he told me that his office was of little value to him. I always r e f use d to inte r fere, for want of experience. I had not h a d that the patronage of th e Ad m iralty and therefore refused to i n t er f er e. sufficient experience, w as given to to the Admiralt Hearing it stated by th e S ec retary y. politi cal adversaries, did your grace institute any inquiry on the subject at the time ?—None whatever ; and I never, from the day I was in office to the day I left it, inquired whether the patronage was in the hands of the surveyor, or whether it was in the hands of the secretary. I never knew anything about it. It wa s never brought to my knowledge by the parties. I knew nothing whatever about it. Had your grace any reason that induced you to dis trust the surveyor of the navy in his department ?---I had only the representation of the secretary, who was a mem ber of the Government, and who was responsible to the House of Commons. If be made representations, what ever the representations may be, I supposed he had grounds for those representations, for I never inquired. I refused to interfere because I had not sufficient experi ence. Did not your grace consider it very prejudicial to the interests of the service that there should be even an im putation against the surveyor's department of the exer cise of political favouritism I—lt might be so against any department. I have been now 50 years in the navy, and I never heard but one story told of the same system of government influence and jobbing, as it is called, in the dockyards having always prevailed. It was a matter of common notoriety, as far a I know. Did your grace take into consideration the circular that had been issued by L ord Auckland, and written by Mr. Ward, with a view to preventing jobbing in the dockyards ?—Lord Auckland's regulations were excellent —they were excellent ; and I may mention that the effect of the minutes was to return to Lord Auckland's regulations. But Lord Auckland's regulations state that the good or bad working of any system must depend in a great measure on those entrusted with the administration : now, when it was represented to your grace that the s urveyor's office was not prope rl y carrying out that ad ministration, did it appear to you to be your duty to order an inquiry into it cannot conceive how I could have made any inquiry into the matter. The means of inquiry would be by a committee. I had no means of inquiring into every individual case that was recom mended. I only heard it generally from the secre tary as a confidential and responsible member of the board, and as responsible to the House of Commons that such was the case. I had no reason to disbelieve it, and at the same time I did not know that it was anything more than what might have been going on as before. I believed it might not have been the Surveyor of the Navy who did it, but that it might have been some one under him. But as far as the interest of the service was con. WHITSUNTIDE. THE time when Spring and Summer " comes out" in good earnest—trips, excursions, promenades, and busi ness enliven every circle in society—every one purchases New Dress, and is anxious to secure the Newtst Fabrics associated with the most Fashionable and Comfortable Styles. Every youth in the Empire expects a New Snit of Attire, nor are they indifferent about the appearrnce their dress will impart. The advantages desired by families are superior quality, neatness, fashion, and economy. All these are combined in the resplendent Stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, &c , &c., prepared by E. MOSES and Sorg for Whitsuntide. Specification of the principal fea tures of their Spring and Summer Clothing is impossible. Inspection will convey an impression ofthe novelty, elegance, and cheapness of the Good', and experience will prove the superior quality of the ma terials and workmanship. The unparalleled position E. MOSES and Sox have maintained for many years renders assertions unnecessary, and it is only requisite to observe, that for Whitsuntide they are magnificently prepared with the cheapest and the best Clothing of every fashionable description. Juvenile Attire offered by E. MOSES and Sox is more distinguished for elegance, style, fashion, case, novelty, and cheapness, than any which others can present; it manifests the perfection of their skill in the selection of materials, and the triumphs of talent in the Cut and Make of every Garment. Spring and Summer Coats, Vests, Trousers, Faletots, &c., in cluding various New Styles, which can only be obtained at the Establishments of E. MOSES and Sox. Every article is far better and much cheaper than those obtained elsewhere. 150,000 EMIGRANTS to AUSTRALIA, Consisting et cabin, intermediate, or steerage passengers, may be Outfitted with everything they will need, of the best quality and the most suitable kind, tbr less money and in less time than at aoy other house in the world. These are the advantages offered to all Emi grants by E. Moses and Sox. The largest Wholv ale Clothing Establishment in the universe is available for large or small investments E. MOSES and Fox's Goods being highly appreciated in Australia and all other Colonies, are the most convenient and lucrative investments emigrants can make.

MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITII ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, 111nOries, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldeate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Lieutenants—Edward Barkley (1853) to the Comus, 14, sloop, at Sheerness ; Charles A. Wise (1847) to the Vulture, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, at Devonport. Naval Cadets—C. Townshend and Henry Philipps, first nomination. The Breadalbane, hired ship, for conveying stores to be left at Beechey Island for Sir Edward Belcher's expe dition, left Woolwich to-day at one o ' c l oc k, an d w ill b e towed by the Monkey, steam-vessel, to the Nore, where she will remain until the Diligence is brought round and ready to take her departure, with the Phoenix, screw steam-sloop, for the Arctic regions. The workmen in the masthouse are preparing new shears to be put upon the wharf wall between the basin and the river, for the convenience of putting in or taking out boilers and heavy machinery from the largest steam vessels in the service. Some idea may be formed of the size of the masts when finished, when it is stated that there will be four of them, each 104 feet in length, and 40 inches in diameter. Formerly it was with the greatest difficulty trees in any degree approximating to the size required could be obtained ; but now no diffi culty whatever exists, as the four masts now making will be formed of pieces of timber only 10 inches square, and of moderate length, the pieces being joined together by marine glue, until the full size is attained. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 9. The Cyclops, 6, paddle, under the command of Lieu tenant Luccombe, arrived at Spithead last evening from Woolwich, having on board the new boilers for the En counter, 14, screw, as well also the new intermediate shaft for the Sidon, 22, paddle. The Cyclops will come into harbour to-morrow, Tuesday, to land the boilers. The Sidon will also come in to receive her new shaft. The Vulcan, 6, screw troop-frigate, Commander Von Donop, hauled out of dock into the steam basin, where she will complete her refit, and in a few days go to Spit head.)The ports have been fitted with plate-glass sashes, which will add much to the comforts of the troops on their voyage to the colonies. The Menelaus, quarantine vessel, having undergone extensive repairs, and having had berths fitted for the reception of invalids coming from abroad, will again take up her station at the Motherbank, the moorings there having been relaid and strengthened with heavier ground tackle. The Victory, flag-ship, Captain John Shepherd, was paid wages to-day. It has been a most boisterous day, blowing half a gale, and raining in torrents. MALTA, MAY 2. The little flotilla which, as we announced formerly, had left Malta to ascertain if a rock due E. of the island, distant 90 miles, and laid down in some charts as doubtful, did or did not exist, returned to port, having under the most favourable circumstances failed to find a bottom with 2,000 to 2,500 fathoms of line out. An area of 20 miles in circumference was swept, with the same result, and it was only in returning, when up wards of 40 miles from the indicated danger, that bot tom was struck with 175 fathoms, and gradually be came less till the vessels reached port. The Modeste sloop is ordered to sea to-morrow, and will be absent on a cruise of a month or 5 weeks, visit ing ports on the coast of Sicily and Tuscany. The Arethusa is ordered home, and will leave during the week. Mr. Potts and Mr. Webbe, both under sen tence of imprisonment, will be sent home by her. DESERTIONS PROM THE NAVY. Three captains, with their mates, have lately figured before the police magistrates, charged with harbouring deserters from her Majesty's navy on board, viz.—Capt. Wm. Jarvis, of the Wasp, for harbouring a sailor of the Britannia (Thomas Richardson) ; Captain Thomson, of the Kate, for harbouring Joseph Blanchard, of the Rod ney ; and Captain Graham, of the Amphitrite, for har bouring a midshipman of the Albion, by name Arthur 0. Webbe. With the exception of Captain Jarvis, who was liberated, the others were committed for trial, but the Crown Advocate, having examined the evidence, entered a nolle prosequi, and they were dismissed from confinement. The stories, indeed, told by the deserters were in the highest degree plausible, particularly that of the midshipman, who took his passage, for which he was to pay the simple expense of board, and told the captain that he had two months' leave of absence to go home to pass, and did not scruple to say so at a public-house in presence of several persons, and some of them his own messmates. The Taurus steamer is just coming into port. She is to be employed between Liverpool and ports in the Levant. The idea of running the vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company to Naples has been at present abandoned. One is generally lying idle between her arrival from Marseilles and the return of the boat from Alexandria. A General Court-martial assembled on Friday last on board her Majesty's ship Albion, Rear-Admiral Harvey President ; Captains Graham, Carter, Greville, Lord Paulet, Jones, Symonds, and Drummond ; Mr. Pullen, Officiating Deputy-Judge-Advocate, when Arthur Orme rode Webbe was arraigned on the three following charges : " L For that he, the said 0. A. Webbe, being in actual service and full pay in the fleet, and midshipman of and belongincr to her Majesty's ship Albion, did, on Friday, April 22, 1853, between the hours of 6 and 8 pan., go out of the ship without permission of the commanding officer, knowing'his leave to be stopped at the time. " 2. For that he, the saidA.O.Webbe, being on full pay, &c., did, on the 22d of April, attempt to desert by going on board the merchant vessel Amphitrite, and hiding him self away, with the intention of leaving the port in her. " 3. For that he, the said A. 0. Webbe, did, on the 22d of April, commit a robbery on board her Majesty's ship Albion, by taking a sextant, the property of Lieutenant Nolloth, out of his cabin, and carrying it out of the ship with him." The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges, and would not retract his plea. lie was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in one of her Majesty's gaols, to be dismissed the service, and rendered incapable of ever again serving her Majesty. John Nichols, a boy of the Albion, met his death o' the 26th ult. by falling from the mizentop of that vessel.' His death was instantaneous. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP DAUNTLESS. —Now that the Dauntless is about to be paid off, we trust that the Admiralty will not be unmindful of those officers, who, in that vessel, witnessed the fatal epidemic by which she was visited during her late service in the West Indies. Death has unfortunately removed more than one officer of this ship well entitled to the highest consideration of their lordships ; but a suffi c i en t number still remain to enable the Admiralty to show that they can appreciate other services besides those of actual warfare. When all vied with each other in kindness and attention to their sick messmates, it would b e an impo ssibility to point out the most deserving ; but surely an act of grace, either in promotion or in some other shape, conferred upon such men would not be misapplied by their lordships. On such an occasion We may, without subjecting ourselves to the charge of invidiousness, allude to the immense amount of lab our and responsibility that must have de- I volved upo n D r. Woodcock, the surgeon, and Dr. ~~ ~/e~~~~~ Wallace, assistant-surgeon of the ship. As an illustrious Secretary at War, when speaking of the yellow fever epidemic at Gibraltar to an army medical officer of high rank, once said, with truth and wisdom, "Such calami tous outbreaks of disease are the battle-fields of the medical officers, and common justice dictates that on such occasions they should be rewarded in the 'same manner as the executive for services in their battle fields"—it is but right that there should be fair dealing to all classes. Dr. Woodcock is a surgeon of nine years' standing, and the Admiralty can have no difficulty in making him some acknowledgment of his services. As regards Dr. Wallace, he has been nearly eight years an assistant-surgeon, and we confidently look forward to seeing his name gazetted to the rank of surgetsa in a very few days.—Herald. THE LATE TRIAL OF THE AGAMEMNON. We are informed that during the last trial of the 90- gun screw-ship; AgaMenmon, Captain Sir T. Mattla.nd, at the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, the Royal. yacht screw-tender Fairy beat the line-of-battle ship only by half the latter'S length in the mile run. .The following are details of three runs : ' Average With Knots , ..,• .* Time. g ° g Revoin- _ a . l iots Against ce 7 .., our.

ME UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The British and North American, royal mail steamer America, Captain Leitch, arrived in the Mersey this morning. She left Boston on the 27th, and - Halifax the 29th ult. Sh e h a d 115 passengers and '127 00 3 0 dollars in specie' on freight. The Ame r i c a h as ex. perienced strong east er l y w i n d s with extremely cold weather durin ,, the whole voyage. - The steam-ship Canada was at Halifax on the 27th ult. The screw-steamer City of Manchester left Phila delphia for this port on the 23d, with 50 passengers and 7,000 dollars specie. The steam-ship Starof the West had arrived, at New York with two weeks later intelligence from California and the Pacific coast, which vonfirms the report of the loss of the steamer Independence, and, in addition, ma k es the lamentable announcement that fully one hundred and forty of her passengers are numbered with the dead. The Independence ran ashore on the 16th of February, on Margaretta Island, Lower California, where she took fro and was entirely consumed. There were five hundred passengers on board at the time, nearly all of whom jumped overboard, and heroically braved the dashing surf and strong tide to gain the shore. Those who suc ceeded in reaching the land were afterwards obliged to stand mere helpless spectators and listeners to the vaM struggles and heart-rending supplications and dying shrieks of the less fortunate of their companions—includ ing men, women, and children, who were eithefr perish ing on board the blazing Vessel, or being swept out to sea by the irresistible force of the current. Another ac count states the loss of life to be 176. Amongst those who were on their way from England to California, and were passengers on board, and who perished, were E. Collins and two children, P. Francis, W. Abraham, Mrs. M. A. Came and child, and It. Davy. The steam-ship California sailed from San Francisco on the Ist, with $2,234,308 in gold dust, en route for New York. The accounts from the mining districts of California were generally very satisfactory. The general news from California is possesed of great interest. We learn that the city of Marysville has again been submerged, and that extensive loss of property as been the consequence. Gold appears to be as abundant as ever. The steamer which sailed from San Francisco on the Ist inst. had on board nearly two and a quarter millions of the precious article, of which $BOO,OOO were shipped by one house, $530,000 by another. Owing to the arrival of a large number of vessels, freighted with every description of merchandise, the San Francisco mar kets were quiet. Small sales of flour had been made at $l2 and $l3. Advices from San Juan del Norte to the 15th ult., state that the war between Honduras and Guatemala seemed to be prosecuted with increased vigour. The Guatemala general, Carrera, had encamped to await the arrival of the Honduras general, Cabanos, in order to give him battle. There appears to be nothing of special interest stirring at Washington. Advices from Texas at Baltimore to the 24th ult. state that further discoveries of gold had been made in Hamilton's Valley, and that a great excitement was existing. Extensive arrangements are being perrected in Wash ington for the survey of the various routes for the contem plated railroad to the Pacific. The Provincial Parliament at Quebec have adopted a plan for a decimal currency in dollars and cents. The committee of the Assembly at New Brunswick had reported in favour of making Campo Bello a free port, where goods from all parts of the world would be stored free of duty. NEW ORLEANS, April 25.—The election of a senator in the place of Mr. Soule has been postponed until Friday. Sam Houston has arrived at Baton Rouge to electioneer, as is supposed, for Mr. Slidell. The steamer Falcon has arrived from Aspinwall with the California mails, 75 passengers, and 100,000 dollars in treasure. The steamer Texas, from Vera Cruz, arrived here this evening, bringing Millard H. Farwell, bearer of dis patches from the United States Legation at Mexico. He reports that an express messenger arrived at the city of Mexico on the Bth, bringing the news of the occupa tion of the Messilla Valley, in Chihuahua, by the Governor of New Mexico. Th e intelligence had caused great surprise, and a determination was expressed to drive out the Americans at the point of the bayonet. An armed force was ordered to proceed immediately to the scene of action, to assist the government of Chihua hua in expelling Governor Lane and his troops. A deputation of the Mexican authorities waited upon Judge Conkling, on the 9th of April, and made a solemn protest against the whole p rocee di ng , M r . Farwell says that intense excitement exists in Mexico among all classes. Governor Trias, of Chihuahua, had replied to Governor Lane's proclamation in a powerful vindication of the rights of Mexico, in behalf of which he produced the most unanswerable documents. The news of the loss of the steamer Albatross reached New Orleans by the Texas from Vera Cruz. The steam engine and cargo were saved. Every soul on board was saved. The boat was built at Philadelphia, and was worth 75,000 or 80,000 dols. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NW YORK, April 26.—There is an active demand for money still prevailing in our market. For loans on demand, upon prime securities, 7 per cent, is the lowest rate. These are readily negotiated at 7to 7.1. Prime business paper is passed with greater facility than of late, at 7to 8 per cent. Exchange on England for the Cunard steamer of Wednesday next remains at 9i to 91 for bankers' bills.

COTTON.—(From the New York Courier and Inquirer. of April 26.)—The market has been quiet without quo table change during the last two days. The sales of Saturday were 600, and to-day 500. The receipts and exports continue steadily to decrease, and opinions as to the probable extent of crop are consequently settling down to moderate figures. The latest dispatch from New Orleans, of the 23d, advises a very active market ; sales 17,000 bales at 101 c. for middling, excess fi educed to 309,000. A dispatch from Mobile, of same date, re duces the excess to 300,000, and quotes middling at 9 c. FRElGHTS.—Freights are easier. Cotton is taken at id, per lb. for Liverpool. To Havre the rate is un changed at ie. BREADSTUFFS.—The demand for flour was moderate RIL 22. to-day, but prices were well supported. HAVANNAH, AP Sugar is firm with an upward tendency, and large sales for exportation. Whites, 81 to 104 ; yellows, 6t to 8 ; browns, 51 to 6. Coffee in demand for New Or leans and Spain ; second quality, 8 to 81 ; t r i age, 7 to 71. Molasses light declined 21 per keg. Codfish, large arrivals, declined 3to 2 dol. Lumber active ; shooks dull. Freights lower. Exchange on London 9 to 91 prem. RAGGED SCHOOL UNION. The ninth annual meeting of this institution was held last evening at Exeter Hall ; Lord Shaftesbury in the chair. The report was read, which stated that the number of schools was now 116, a small increase on last year ; 13 new schools had been opened!, but several of those on the list had been closed for various reasons. The number of scholars attending the day schools, it was also stated, was 8,000 in the week evenin g sc h oo l s, 5,770 ; in the Sabbath schools, 11,270 ; the industrial classes, 2,030. The number of paid teachers was 221, and of voluntary teachers, , l,7Bs. The document went on to state that the Shoe Black Society continued to prosper. The average earnings of each boy per week had been 7s. 11d., who out of this received as his share 4s. Bd, at once, ls. Bd. for ex penses, and ls , 7d. to his savings bank ; 24 schools had mothers' meetings in connection with them, which were attended by above 770 poor mothers. The number of boys who had been enabled to emigrate during the year was 24, making the total number now sent out 370. Nearly 40 schools held City Mission meetings, attended by 1,400 persons, and during the year 1,920 Bibles had been sold to the children, at sixpence each. The finances of the society were this year improved by two legacies, ' amounting to 1,1001. ; one of a 1,000/., from the late Mrs. Vaughan. James Grant, and the other of 100/., from , d f n r i s.
