MESSRS. ALLSOPP da SONS' PALE OR BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouched, by the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva lid and the robust; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to pre serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritability." In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by tke less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara tions of malt, in containing a timelier amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa tisf,ctory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en tirely free from every kind of impurity."

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have' produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature 'decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment . adopted is founded ou experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the inrsOnal supervision or Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years,' or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even to former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a systems is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It o co f r i i n erefetrsts greater advantages than a Wilk because it allows a fair rate in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor 1 n case of death. thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking.

TBE MADIAIS. th.e Morning Advertiser.) our Columns a n We ye;t ( er F d r a e y nv into able article from the Times, denouncing the perse cuting spirit of the Church of Rome, and bringing home to her the charge, of having been the delibe rate, cold-blooded murderer of Francesco Madiai. We quote from our contemporary to-klay another article, written. in a similar spirit, and holding up to the abhorrence of religion and humanity, with, if possible, still greater effect, the insatiable thirst of that Church for the blood of those whose con sciences lead them to differ from her. To this arti cle from the Times we bespeak the attention of our readers. It is a melancholy reflection, that of all the Go vernments of Europe, none but that of Prussia adopted any steps to rescue the two Madiai from the olutches of their Popish persecutors. We be lieve—and we record the conviction with unbounded gratification—that ,our own Sovereign did send a letter of remonstrance to the Grand Duke of Tus cany,against ,the incarceration , of these two poor people in loathsome dungeons,- their only offence being that they read their .Bible in their own humble abode. That letter from. her Majesty also contained an earnest appeal to Leopold the Second to release the Madiai from the prison to which they had been consigned, and , restore them to their liberty. But the , letter was written in the Queen's private capacity—if, indeed, any act of her Majesty can strictly, be said to be done in her private capacity. The Derby Government did nothing in the matter. Nor could any energetic interference be, expected of that Government with such a man as Lord MalmeSbury in the Foreign Office. A , person in his • poiitiOn,. filling the office of Foreign Secretary, who could allow Austria to maltreat, with impunity, Mr. Mather, in the way she did, was not a person likely to interest hint self in the fate of the two poor Madiai. Prussia, we repeat, of all the Governments of Europe, did alone take a deep interest in the case of these excelle4 unoffending people. We record the fact to the lasting shame of this country, and of every other civilised country in Europe. Nor can we expect, now that one of the victims of the relentless malignity with which the Church of Rome pursues those who dare to differ from her, has been transferred from his dungeon to his grave, —that those, European Courts which have been inactive and silent hitherto, will either take any action, or raise their voice, with a view to the liberation of the remaining victim of P o pi s h ven geance. • Need we add th a t there is, therefore, no hope for poor Rosa Madiai ? No one' who compre hends the true character of the Romish Church, will be so simple as to suppose that she will relax her iron grasp of the surviving widow, either from a sense of shame, or from a consciousness of injus tice. She was never yet influenced by any such considerations, and never will. Her vengeful spirit will not be satiated until she has exacted the life of Rosa also. Rome thirsts for the poor woman's blood, and until she has drunk it, the course of per secution will proceed unchecked. The long list of those who from first to last have been slain—some suddenly, and others by a slow lingering process— by the Romish Church furnishes a frightful com mentary on the Scriptural expression as applied to that Ohurch—" Drunk with the blood.of the saints." Though there is, and can be, but one universal feeling of profound grief at the death of Francesco Madiai, or, to speak more plainly, at the murder of that innocent man through the instrumentality of the Church, there is every reason to anticipate, that the fiendish malignity with which that Church has persecuted the poor man to the death, will be pro ductive of incalculable good. A large proportion of the Protestant population in this country, were impressed with the notion that the Popery of the present time was altogether unlike the Romanism which lighted the fires of Smithfield. It was be lieved that the Roman Catholics, like everybody else, had yield e d th emse l ves up to the softening and subduing influences of a growing liberality, consequent on the progress of intelligence, and that their Church would, as much as Protestantism itself, shrink from sending to prison and putting to death any person for his honest convictions. No one possessing the reasoning faculty will any longer labour under this delusion. Any such delusion will hereafter be found impossible. The murder of Francesco Madiai, and the anticipated martyrdom of his wife, prove in a manner which must bring home conviction to the most sceptical mind, that the Church of Rome is just the same in her spirit and character now, as she was when she consigned, in scores, the most excellent men in the land, to the fires which, with her own hand, she lighted in Smithfield. If home does not use the logic of the stake or the scaffold in this country, it is not because her faith or her disposition has undergone 'any change, but, solely because she is not invested with the ne cessary civil power. The dungeon, the rack, and the - scaffold, are still her favourite weapons of war fare frithle'retici. And nothing could have been to her the source of greater mortification and 're gret, than that, when she "res o l ve d on 'th e aggres sion of 1850, she could not, instead of parcelling out the country into Popish bishoprics, deal with the most eminent heretics among us, as she dealt with our Protestant ancest ors i n th e days of the Bloody Mary. The Romish Church has no bowels of compassion. She is a stranger to the feelings of humanity. In her intercourse with those who reject her creed and repudiate her authority, she would regard humanity as worse than a childish weakness, if not as an un pardonable sin. Give her possession of the reins of 'Government, invest her with the requisite au thority, and she will, without an hour's delay, em bark heart and hand in the enterprise of extirpat ing Protestant heresies, by all the appliances at her disposal, and especially by the unsparing use of the dungeon and the stake. CHARGE OF MURDER.—In our last two numbers we have given reports of an inquest, that was several times adjourned, on the body of a child, of poor parents, named Mary Ann Cleveley, whose death was caused, according to medical evidence, by a fracture of the skull. It was not considered judicious at the time to publish the evi dence of one of the witnesses examined —namely, of Eliza Hale —as, from what came out in her own testi mony and in that of other witnesses, considerable suspi cion attached to her, although insufficient to justify her being then placed in custody. For the same reason, the jury hesitated in coming to a positive conclusion, and accordingly returned an open verdict, the coroner at the same time 'hinting to the inspector of police, who was present, that if he thought the presumptive evidence against Hale sufficient to justify such a course, she might be taken before the magistrates and examined on the charge of ill-treating the deceased. Acting on this sug gestion, and following up his previously instituted inqui ries, Inspector Hill lost no time in searching as closely into the matter as possible, and at length, on Monday last, the girl was brought before the mayor and other magistrates, and an examination gone into. Hale was shown to have been one of the lodgers in the house where the deceased was kept by Mrs. Sutton, and on several occasions to have used angry expressions con cerning her, such as " If the child was mine, I'd kill the young —," &c. On the day on which the injury was inflicted on the child, she said to Mrs. Sutton, on her return home, "The child has fell down and broke her skull ;" and at the same time Mrs. Sutton observed a large nail on the floor, which she had seen shortly before to be in its usual place, in the chimney, although loose. This nail was just such a weapon as would have pro duced the hole that was afterwards found in the child's skull. This and other circumstantial evidence of a simi lar kind, was considered by the bench sufficient to ren der it their duty to send the case before a higher tribunal, and they accordingly committed Hale for trial at the next assizes, upon the charge of wilful murder.

Ma. EDITOR,—The argument on vote by ballot was long since exhausted. The topics connected with it, whether logically or rhetorically, have been drained to the very dregs. There is nothing more to be said ; that is past question ; the only remaining inquiry is, what is to be done ? or to be not done ? Of course .thi:3 inquiry was not to be escaped by the new Administration.. It has been answered. The ballot is not adopted by the Government, but it is to. be an open question. That is where we are, and let us endeavour to understand our position. Facts warrant the assumption that the ballot is a tine qua non of Reform. It is advocated by every news paper and periodical heartily devoted to the cause of Re form. It stands in the programme of every association formed to promote the progress of Reform. It is a popu lar topic at every great public meeting that entertains subjects connected with question of Reform. In truth, it is, as much as any particular item can be, altogether one with Reform. Some who claim to be Reformers would be satisfied with the ballot alone. Others, and they are far more numerous, require its combination with other measures, such as a large extension of the suffrage, the abolition of small constituencies, &c., as essential. But both these sections agree that the ballot cannot and must not be dispensed with. They unite to say that if there be no ballot, there will be no Reform. From a Government pledged to.progress, it might have been expected that something more on such a subject -would have been avowed than mere neutrality. Popular questions, it is true, pass through the form of open, be fore they become cabinet questions. This ceremony has been many times repeated. Hence many people -have rather prematurely rejoiced in the supposition that a step bipvdrds has been taken in making the ballot an open question. There is a step taken, indeed ; but it is a very little step, and much shorter than. they supposed. The ballot has really been an open question for many years. It was left so by the Whig .Government that carried the• Reform Bill in 1832. 'lt - remained so with the last Whig.M.inistry. Several members of that Go vernment voted with M r . Henry Berkeley during the late Parliament. I might name Sir A. Cockburn, Page Wood, and Sir John Romilly, while holding office. What we have really gained now consists of two points ; first, that it is an open question, not merely for the members of a Whig Government, but of a coalition Government, comprising the leading statesmen of all parties ; and secondly, that this openness extends not only to the members - of the Government, in the large sense of that word, but to the Cabinet itself, where the ballot has at least one staunch 'advocate in the person of Sir Williain Molesworth. These are our gains ; these and no more, whatever be their worth or their worthless ness. Against these gains we have to set the yet unbending hostility of two such influential statesmen as Lord John Russell and Sir James Graham. They profess their minds to be still unconvinced, and their antagonism unabated. We must take the fact as we find it. To solve the intellectual phenomenon would not be easy. To assign or imagine motives, would be a less difficult, but also a less agreeable, if not an unworthy occupation. One inference may be safely drawn. If not now con vinced, they are never likely to be. The arguneentefor the ballot cannot, by the nature of the case, ever become stronger. The proceedings in the late elections bring it to a climax. Intimidation the most fierce, and corrup tion the most foul, have done their worst. For the electoral system, there is no deeper abyss of degradation into which it can possibly sink. The credit of represent. ative government itself is imperilled. But there is no need to bestow proof upon the existence or magnitude of the evil. It is confessed. Lord John Russell con fesses it now, as he confessed it 18 years ago. He has been confessing it all that time. He has been thinking all along that " this gear must be mended." He is like the sinner in the "Night Thoughts," who "resolv es an d re-resolve, then dies th e same." "There must be some remedy," argues his lordship, " but I will not consent to take vote by ballot for that remedy." What will he take, then, for a remedy ? He does not know. He pro poses no equivalent substitute. The experience 18 years has revealed nothing to his" mind. The thought of 18 years has suggested no remedial device. All the op portunities of observation which office confers have been repeatedly enjoyed by his lordship, but he has discerned no means of obliterating this dark plague spot. Inter vals of leisure have enabled him to possess mental free dom. He has had time to read Thomas Carlyle and to edit Thomas Moore ; but neither in the excursiveness of invention, nor in the intensity of meditation, has he ar rived at a remedy for gross and, growing electoral abuses. He is only now going, as he told the electors of London, "to turn his mind to those other means which he thinks may perhaps be devised, in order if not to extirpate, at all events to diminish those scandalous scenes of bribery and corruption which have unfortunately been wit nessed." •So we are put off with a possibility. The ex clusion of the ballot is made absolute by his lordship ; the exclusion, or even the mitigation of corruption; is only subject to a "perhaps" and a "may be." Thee is not the way to deal with a nuisance which the country feels, and has long felt is not to be endured. The tenacity with which Lord John Russell clings to open voting puts him into bad company. It sorts him with those members of the ruling classes who are determined to remain the ruling classes as long as possible, in spite of the progress and just claims of the industrial classes ; who strive for oligarchical Government under the forms of democracy ; who will concede the show of voting, provided the vote can be bought or commanded ; who regard popular re , presentation as machinery to be worked for aristocratical purposes ; and who will consent to no reforms that will endanger their own ascendancy. The -antagonism of this class to the ballot is perfectly intelligible. They are actuated, not by a hostile principle, but by a hostile interest. Their real objection is not to the secrecy of voting, but to its freedom. While fully acquittin g Lord J. Russell of any such sinister motives, I cannot but re gret that he should so far identify himself with them ; that he should obstinately stick, in this matter, to their obsolete politics ; that he should grace their bad cause with- the lustre of his name, character, and talents ; and that he should cater for them by suggesting reasons, arginnents, and excuses, which they have not the know ledge or the wit to devise for themselves. Eighteen years ago, Lord Joh n o bj ected to the irre-, sponsibility of ballot-voting ; now he objects to its secrecy. The ground is shifted ; the objection remains. I . shall not stay to refute either. lam not arguing the question of the ballot, but commenting upon Lord John Russell's conduct and language in relation to it, and on the position in which reform and reformers are thereby placed. It must, however, be observed, that the last, and, I hope, the final form of the objection is merely that of a senti ment. Lord John declared on the hustings his senti mental antipathy to secrecy. He cannot abide it, He hates it as Shylock says some men hate " a harmless necessary cat," an d others "a sw o ll en b agpipe, " that sings i the nose." He declared that he was against secrecy in everything; that, "as he was against secret trials in our courts of justice, that as he was against se cret debates in our Houses of Parliament, so he was against secret votes in our election." This fudge and clap -trap were unworthy of the speaker. Is he against secret prayer ? or secret almsgiving ? or secret consulta tions in the Cabinet ? or secret writing in Reviews ? or secret letters in the Post-office ? When the right of se cret debating. in the House of Commons was asserted, in the last Parliament, by Mr. John O'Connell, and the re porters were excluded, did his lordship's horror manifest itself in any attempt to repeal the standing order which authorises such secrecy? Does he ever object when the galleries are cleared for a division, and the farce performed of a secret voting by the members, which lis published in the newspapers the next morning ? Of all men, Lord John Russell ought to know that, in cer tain cases, secrecy is that which he holds in most pro found respect, viz., a constitutional principle. Public opinion, guided by a sense of public utility, has set at nought that principle in certain cases, such as those just specified, and in which, practically, it no longer exists ; but that same public opinion, guided by that same sense' of public utility, demands the application of the principle in certain other cases. It is unfortunate that his lord ship's protests against the principle are reserved for the instances in which it is required for the protection of the people. Trials are public, that the judges may be held to their responsibility. And so Lord John contends that the voters should be held to their responsibility. But to whom ? There was a time, regretted by an old lady in Scott's "Heart Of Mid-Lothian," when judges were sub ject to the same responsibility as voters are now . , and the " pebble the judges with stones populace could always If this be still good for the when they were bad boys." voters, why not good again for the judges ? If it be right that the judge should be protected, why not that the voter should be protected ? And, to make the cases analogous, we must suppose a wealthy man sitting on one side of the judgetoup-on the ben*, with a purse of gold in his hand, b e given if the summing up of the evidence accorded with his wishes ; and a bludgeon-man on the other side of the judge, ready to break his head should the summing up not teecord with his wishes. Secret trials would be something . better than such practices.. It may be said that we pre clude them, and yet retain publicity. That is true ; but how' can that be effected in the case of the voter? That is the problem; and Lord John leaves it with a "per haps, it may be." Vainly seem the years to have passed over Lord Jolen e Russell's head, since, on a public , occasion, early in th o , year 1835, he said, "I am sensible, no man more s ir e ; e z , the progress which the question of ? the ballo t t he h t as , as n during the late elections ; nor will I deny it • but let ultimate remedy, we may be obliged to adopt e o f public us first exhaust every other.

There is n othing left for it but to show an obstinate man that others can be as obstinate. If he persists without Act, arguments, or reasons, why should not we, who have them, persist also ? If reason be resisted, pres sure must be applied. For that, with due consideration of the time and m anner, Reformers should prepare theselves. PUBLICOLA. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, 1853. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.--JAN. 14. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) RE CATHARINE CUMHING.—IN LUNACY. • In this case, which on former occasions, excited so ' much attention, The Solicitor-General (with whom was Mr. Southgate) stated, in consequence of a suggestion from the court, an arrangement had been made between the different par ties, of which the following were the terms, viz., that a petition be presented, praying for an' order for a super sedeas of the commission, and also that a petition should be presented on behalf of Mrs. Cumming, pray ing that Messrs. Robinson and Haynes' costs should be taxed ; that the next of kin having agreed to the supersedeas, Messrs. Robinson and Haynes should un dertake to furnish Mrs. Cumming's solicitor with full accounts ; that there should be a reference to the Master, to inquire what property Mrs. Cumming was possessed of in August, 1846, the time when the lunacy was alleged to have begun ; that a medical at tendant should be named by Mrs. Cumming to attend her, who should be subject to inquiries 'from the next of kin ; that the costs of the commission should be ascer tained and taxed as between solicitor •and client ; that the,cdsts as certified should be secured by a mortgage on Mrs. Cumming's property, but which was not.to come into operation until after her death ; that Mrs. Cum ming's income should be secured at 4001. a year, exclu sive of a residence ; that all mortgages, d e bt s , and liabi lities of Mrs: Cumming should be forthwith paid ; and, lastly, that at Mrs. Cumming's death her property should go in equal shares to Mrs. Hincks and Mrs. Cooper, 'her daughters, and the next of kin, 'and failing them; or either of them, to their children. Subject to this arrangement two petitions had been presented folk carrying it into effect, another petition had been presented which would have 'the effect of nullifying the arrangement altogether, and unless it was withd rawn ; all that had been done would be ineffectual, and all that could now be asked would be an extension of the time for trying the traverse which had been directed. The Court was urged to sanction the arrangement. Mr. Follett and Mr. Morris, for the next of kin, did not oppose it. The Lord Chancellor said that a supersedeas could only be granted when a lunatic was proved to be no longer of unsound mind, and when that was the case the party could make any arrangement for himself. The present was in truth a suggestion that the lunatic was not an object of a supersedeas, but that' if the Court would supersede the commission, something would be done by way of boon, which would be of equal force for her protection as a commission. That was entirely out of the ordinary course, and he must refuse the petition. Mrs. Cumming being in attendance, his lordship pro ceeded to have an interview with her in his private room. On his return, The Lord Chancellor said that he would do nothing in the case but extend the time for trying the traverse. There appeared to be no 'change in Mrs. Cumming's condition, and the traverse must be tried. She was most anxious that it should be tried as soon as possible. It was then arranged that the time for trying the tra verse should be extended to six months, with leave to the Attorney-General to apply to fix the time in a fortnight. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Right Hon. the First Lord of the Admiralty re turned to Whitehall again yesterday morning, and we, believe went down to the Castle 'once more last night. Some important national business, in which the Admi ralty department is prominently interested, is evidently on the Lapis. Captain William A. 'Willis (1844), who was despe rately wounded on the coast of Africa uy a band of slave dealers' assassins, when in command of the Frolic, 16, has been appointed, by the Colonial-office, Emigration Agent at the port of Sligo. Captain C. F. Hillyar, promoted last year for his gal lantry at the att ac k at Lagos, has been appointed to study steam at the factory, Woolwich. Commander W. M. J. Pasco (1846), son of Rear- Admiral Pasco (Nelson's flag-lieutenant at Trafalgar), late inspecting commander in the coast-guard, has also been appointed to study steam at the factory, Woolwich. Lieutenant Charles Turner (1815), of the Turnchapel coast-guard, station, near Plymouth, has been promoted to the rank of Commander. He entered the navy in 1808, and was in the Diligent, 14, in her gallant action with a French - brig of 20 guns, off Scilly, for two hours and 40 minutes, when the latter -made off. He was pro moted in December, 1815 ; served in the Ramilies, 74, coast-blockade ship, for nearly- five years, and since 1833 has served in the coast-guard. Lieutenant Charles Goldsmith (1825) has also been promoted to the rank of Commander. Commander Gold smith entered the navy in 1806, passed his examination in 1814, and was made a lieutenant Jan. 10, 1825. Ever since this date he has been employed in command of a revenue vessel, and has been promoted from the command of the Wellington. Lieutenant John Pollard (1806) has been appointed to Greenwich Hospital establishment, vice Casey, deceased. A short time since, when this officer was selected for the out-pension of Greenwich, we ga.v.e4,9pitome of his sr vices. — lt-would be superfluous td repeat theft ; but we , may remind our readers that he is the only officer left alive of those who had been originally stationed in the poop of the Victory in the battle of Trafalgar, and it was supposed that it was he who shot the man who killed Nelson. Ile is one of the most neglected officers in the navy, and his appointment to Greenwich reflects the greatest credit on those who selected him. The officer selected to fill up the other vacancy in the establishment of Greenwich Hospital--that made by the death of poor Lieut. Fitton—is Lieut. Wm. V. Lee (1827). This officer, the son of an old lieutenant, entered the navy so late as 1821. He was promoted from mate of the Hind cutter for his gallantry at Navarino. He lost a leg in that action, and is in receipt of a pension for the loss. Since his promotion he has served in harbour, at a semaphore, or as Admiralty agent in th e contrac t mail service. We cannot commend this selection. We could point out many much older lieutenants on the list whose gallant deeds and services in the war have been neglected, men who are burdened with heavy family in cumbrances, whose turn ought to have been served be fore that of Lieut. Lee—men who entered the service before Lieut Lee was born. We must confess we do not like this uneven system of making one good and one questionable selection when opportunities are afforded of doing justice in both cases to old officers of meritori ous services. There can be no " give and take "in matters of this kind, when the claims of officers are un mistakeable. By the selection of a lieutenant of 1827 great and positive injustice has been done to officers whose seniority ranges from 1796 upwards. It is even handed justice, and consistent appreciation of standing and service, that will gain for the Board of Admiralty the gratitude of all ranks of the navy, and the respect of the public generally. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 14. The ships at this port are now manned, with the ex ception of the London, 90, which wants about 300. The Phaeton, 50, Captain George Elliot, sailed from St. Helen's last night for Sheerness, to be paid off. The Simoom, 18, screw steam-frigate, Captain King come, left Spithead this• morning for Queenstown, en route to the Mediterranean, carrying reliefs, and specie for the commissariat. The Rodney, 92, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., was towed into harbour from Spithead this afternoon. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Devonport, to be paid down and refitted. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, was taken out to-day by Captain Henderson, of the steam department, to test her machinery. The Blenheim, 60, screw guard-ship, Captain Hender son, C. 8., hauled out of dock to the fitting basin this afternoon ; and the Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Francis Scott, went into the vacant dock, to have her bottom examined. The Basilisk, 6, wheel steam-sloop, COmmander the Hon. F. Egerton, went out of harbour to prove her machinery at the measured mile, at Stoke's Bay. On her return she took in tow the Rodney, 90, Captain C. Graham, and-with the assistance the of Echo, steam-tug, came into harbour at 3.30 p.m., and Is alongside the Blake, receiving hulk. _ The Odin, 16, steam-frigate, Captain Francis Scott, was placed in the angle dock, vacated by the Blenheim. The Belvidere, receiving hulk, having been caulked, repainted. &c. has hauled out of the basin, an d t a k en up moorings off the Gosport shore. WOOLWICH, JAN. 14.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN: SlR,—Considerable satisfaction was caused in naval circles here at the announcement in your columns of the restoration to the navy list of that very able man Mr. Engledue. I can speak of him from experience, having on more than one occasion witnessed his zeal in the ser vice, as also the efficient manlier in which he conducted the drills of the various ships' companies brought under his tuition. I was not in the least surprised to see him resign his commission on being appointed one of the junior lieutenants of a line -of-battle ship, when he knew that his talents would be properly appreciated by a com pany with a fleet only second to that of the Royal Navy. I trust that Lieut. Engledue will not be doomed to re main long in his present rank, but that the pleasing task of pushing him on in his profession will devolve upon Sir James Graham ; and I can only say that his good fortune Will not be envied by those amongst his brother officers who have not been equally distinguished, and certainly not by me. A LIEUTENANT OF 1840. Portsmouth, Jan. 13, 1853. Two MEN BURIED ALIVE.— A terrible and fats catastrophe has just occurred in the town of Brampton, Cumberland. Two men were buried alive ; one named George Pringle, from Carlisle, and. he other Geo. Taylor, a Brampton man. They were engaged' on Monday afternoon in re-sinking an old well at Brampton work house, and when at the depth' of about five and twenty feet below the surface the whole of the earth rushed in from the sides and top upon the two poor fellows who were working at the bottom. This was about a quarter to three on Monday afternoon. The alarm was imme diately given'; crowds milled to the spot s and, hopeless as the case looked, preparations were immediately com menced to dig the men out. About midnight, and long after all hope had been given up of getting either 'of the men out alive, the most intense excitement was pro duced by the workmen, who were digging their way though what appeared a bank of solid earth, declaring that they could hear a voice some depth below. The men, many of whom were Taylor's fellow-workmen and companions, gave a loud cheer, which was caught up and repeated by the crowd outside. They reached a depth of about twenty feet by four o'clock on Tuesday morning, and came upon Pringle, who walked out almost without assistance, and came up the ladder to the top, looxtng very pale and frightened, but declaring that he was unhurt. He could give no account of Taylor, except that when the rush of earth came he (Taylor) was higher up the shaft and nearer the top than Pringle, who heard nothing afterwards except a kind of groaning for about five minutes. Pringle was consigned to the medi cal men and put to bed, having been upwards of 13 honrs embedded in the damp earth. Cold was the only thing he complained of. He had experienced no difficulty, he said, in "getting breathed," which was most strange, and he had heard all the proceedings from the first of the men employed in ,extricating him. The workmen again set to, and laboured away with the most resolute will, in the hope of rescuing Taylor, who, as compared with P r i ng l e, was a very strong man. It was not till two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon that they came upon his body, stark and stiff, and head downwards, almost at the bottom of the well, and embedded in wet sand. He had been long dead. An inquest was held on Tuesday e ven i ng, b e f ore Mr. Carrick, coroner, and a verdict of "Accidental death" returned. REPORTED INCARCERATION OF THE REV. MR. MAC DONALD OF BLAIRGOWRIE — For the last few days, a report has been in general circulation, that a townsman of our own,' the Rev. Mr. Macdonald, the Free Church minister of Blairgowrie, had been apprehended in Rome. while engaged in distributing tracts in " the Eternal City," and subsequently lodged in the cells of the Inqui sition. We are in a position to state, that the report is so far incorrect, or, at all events, premature, inasmuch as the last advices received from the rev, gentleman were dated from Leghorn, in Tuscany, and that these make no mention of any apprehension such as that alluded to. Mr. Macdonald, we may state, has for a considerable time past been in delicate health ; and hence the tour he is making on the continent.—Perth Constitutional. MEETING OF SHIPWRIGHTS.—A general meeting of the shipwrights of Woolwich Dockyard took place at the Town-hall, Woolwich, on the evening of Tuesday last, for the purpose of memorialising the Lords of the Admi ralty for an advance'of wages. BAIL COURT.-JAN. 14. ',Sittings at Nisi Prius.—Beforo Mr. Justice Erie and - Common Juries.) DANSEY V. RICHARDSON.-ACTION TO RECOVER THE VALUE OF STOLEN . PROPERTY. _ This was an action to recover the value of a dressing ease and box, with their contents, belonging to the plain tiff, which were stolen from the defendant's house by reason of his alleged negligence. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Pearson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bramwell for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant kept a boarding-house in. Weymouth-street, Portland-place, where the plaintiff went to reside on her arrival from Paris, and remained there for some days, when she was about to start for Dover. Her box and dressing -case were brought down stairs and placed in the hall, and during the temporary absence of the servants the defendant saw a man, whom she supposed to be a cabman, going out of the house with the plaintiff's box and dressing-case under his arm. She went to the door and discovered him running away, upon which she sent for the police, but the property was never recovered. Defendant then stated that she had repeatedly warned her servants not to leave the door ajar, and said she was afraid she would be a loser by it. The plaintiff stated that the box contained 1301. worth of money and jewellery. The defence was that the robbery had taken place in consequence of the plaintiff's negligence, who had the box taken into the hall, and then sent the servants out on messages for her. Knowing the value of the contents, the plaintiff should have sent the boxes to the dining room or some place of security. It was also alleged that the plaintiff only claimed 751. in the first instance. Verdict for the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—JAN. 14. (Before the Chief Commissioner.) IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES ABRAHAM PARKER. This insolvent, described as a gentleman, who had been connected with the turf, applied to be discharged under the act. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Dowse appeared to oppose for some creditors at Doncaster. The case was originally before the court on Friday last, when an application was made on the part of the opposing creditoi s that it might be adjourned for the I attendance .of Mr. Concanlian, from Lincoln's-inn, to whom the insolvent had given a bill of sale of ten race horses Ire possessed. The bill of sale was given within three months of the petition, and it was admitted that the arrest was a friendly proceeding in order to benefit the estate. The case was adjourned to the present occa sion, and the party was not in attendance, the insolvent declaring that he had no means to bring him up from the country. Mr. DOwse objected to the case being heard without the party from the country. The insolvent said he had paid for his own arrest in 'order t 6 defeat the bill of sale, and had come from France. Mr. Dowse remarked that the insolvent's wife had an income of upwards of 3001. a year, and it was proved that within a 'few days of the last examination he had received 251. • The Chief Commissioner observed that the creditors would Terhaps'not press the case, if there was nothing material in it: Mr. Dowse said the credit Ors were most anxious to know what had become of 1,3001. worth of property. The court ordered an adjournment. COLONIAL PENNY POSTAGE.—The Council of the Colonial and International Postage Association has come to the following resolution upon the important question of our ,colonial , postage :—" That the first object of the association is to extend the system of uniform penny postage, already in operation between the United King dom and the Channel Islands, to the whole of the British colonies and 'possessions. The total amount of postal revenue derived frcrm all the colonies does not ex ceed 200,0001. a year. The whole, obviously, could not be sacrificed by the, measure proposed, but it would be sound national policy to abandon even the whole to pro mote in so 'eminent a degree the commerce, education, freedom' of; ,communication, and friendly relations be tween the colonies and the mother country." The amount of revenue derived from the colonies is extracted from a MS. obligingly furnished by the Postmaster- General at the 'request of the council of the above asso ciation. In this return the income from tranemarine colonial postage by each line of packets stands as fol ws :—French mail, 16,0161.; Belgian, 6301.; Prussian, 1,6361.; D u t c h, 7661. ; H am b urgh, 1,5481.; American, 33,2371.; West.lndian, 23,8841.; Cape, 5,1151.; Penin sular, 3,6271.; Indian, 42,6051.• ' do. via M arse ill es, 36,4131.; Syd ne y, &c., 5,7301.; African, 3831. ; Inter colonial, 15,0161. ; Red Sea, 6,405/. Total, 193,0111. s DERBY ELEcTioN.--L-About seventy Speaker's war rants have - already been served • upon the friends and supporters of Mr. Horsfall, who are charged with being concerned in the illegal proceedings at the last election for this borough. We understand that in con sequence of the disclosures before the Committe of the House of Commons, that Mr. Frail was in receipt of a salary of 3001. a-year from W.B. ; the Surveyor of Taxes for the Shrewsbury district has surcharged Frail for income tax, which he has never paid before. Frail' s friend and patron, the major, h as •thus unearthed a wary fox, which has' been bagged by-the lynx-eyed Surveyor of Taxes. JEWISH FEMALE EMIGRA,TION.—FemaIe emigrants of the Jewish persuasion would have all the advantages, and few of the disadvantages, of other people. There is a bond of union among them so strong, that although soiree threads may become unravelled, its main strength remains unimpaired. Soon as a 'female emigrant arrives among them, they sally forth to welcome her, give her a hospital reception, •emulate each other in the desire of making her comfortable, and seek employment for her that may prove ultimately advantageous. The feeling of the Jiebtew'hecemes not stunted by the desire of gain, as Charles Dickens would fain make the world believe ; but on the contrary, while he is labouring with fixed industry, to earn an independence, all the g e ntl er f ee li ngs are excited, quickened, and called into active benevolence whenever occasion requires. We should be sorry to hear that the thirst for gold had effaced one kind sympathy from his heart, or that he had not carried from the shores of Britain that universal and lofty charity so distinguishing his brethren in, this peaceful isle. But we understand and appreciate qualities of the Jewish heart too well to imagine for a moment that Mammon could for long de throne any one of the nobler attributes of his being. So in this respect the Jewish female emigrant will find herself better placed than the female of any other deno mination. What, then, should hinder the humble though respectable Jewish female of our metropolis, indus triously inclined, but who is , a burden to parents that have a difficulty in raising means sufficient to support a large family—from emigrating to a colony where there is so little doubt o f success attending her efforts ? The r reports received from females sent out by the society headed by Mrs. Chisholm, and which may be fully relied on, ,are most inter es ti ng an d satisfactory. Already have many of them sent remittances to those relatives th y received left behind i n i mpoverished circumstances, and to know" su c h rem i ttances will be useful, and ec as a G odientl..—lncish Chronicle.

Earp, in his new work on the " Gold Colonies of Australia," after describing the various classes who would find it expedient to emigrate, says, "Another class of persons is much wanted in Australia, and it is a class with which England is but too well furnished, viz., females. The• disproportion of the sexes, though much has been done of late to remedy it, is still very great ' • and if taken out under parental protection, or under the auspices of the London Com mittees for the purpose of female emigration, too many females can scarcely be sent. Much will, however, de pend on themselves. Australian squatters and gold hunters are • well to do in the world, and have abundant means of creating desirable homes, but they have no discrimination as to what is wanted to make a home desirable. Industrious, young women, even though with little pretension to beauty, would not be long in finding such homes ; but fine ladies, posseSsing nothing beyond the trash accomplishments which in England are thought so much of, would not only not succeed in forming favourable alliances, but would run great risk of the lowest social degradation. Young women who contemplate emigrating, should, however, remember that the settlers require industrious, domesti cated wives ; and that they are sufficiently acute not to take any other. Useless fine ladies are completely out ;they areelne no iee fortlikel educational likely t d om t ar io ry nal ; numbertohfeplacne in Australia is already overdone, they will not con descend to become servants , and the y cannot get back Au already stralia in the e to England. For the introduction of industrious, unpretending gilrs, whether as wives or servants, there is scarcely any limit. The step, however, is a serious one, and cannot be recalled—once made, it must result in great good or great evil—there is nothing interme diate. The home, whenever found, will be a plentiful one, but it will be an industrious one. Indeed, without constant occupation, the life of a woman in the interior of Australia would be insupportable. Shut out from the world, without other amusement than that arising from her duto to her home, industry would become to her a necessary of life. Such a life of solitude has, however, one great advantage—a few years only are requisite to accumulate a sufficient to spend the remainder of.life in the comforts of society."
