The extraordinary results of this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided ; no Springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un attainable: and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared 'White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature May with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great eftl ".eY of this medicine : .157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public 'Who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Ilussars. I always pro• cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. "It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to BSc is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have Ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

G RAND MILITARY SPECTACLE AT CHOBHAM. the military manoeuvres at Chobham have created an amazing excitement. The presence of Rey nay and the respects paid to their beloved Sovereign by the several divisions of the British Army, was as effective as the uncommon illustration of how battle fields were lost or won. Thousands on thousands crowded to these sights, and every class in society shared the interest of this vast display. Every observer felt the force of the fact that dress constituted the principal feature of this magnificent affair, and to every one was ap parent the mighty advance made in the tailoring art within the last half century. The fact will not be questioned that E. MOSES and Sow have been the originators of all modern improvements in attire of every descrip tion—Military Costumes, Naval Uniforms, and thousands of novel. ties in Gentlemen's Dress; in fact, there is not a season, an occasion, or a profession, but for that E. MOSES and SON make the most mag nificent and ample provision, and they charge all goods at much lower prices than other houses that competition is entirely unavailing. E. MOSES and SoN's unrivalled JUVENILE ATTIRE furnishes the greatest advantages to Parents and Guardians, it is more pleas ing, fashionable, comfortable, and serviceable than any other for Young Gentlemen obtained elsewhere, and the present stock even surpasses all previous displays—the very superior quality of the materials and workmanship united with the best principles of econ omy and universal recommendations. With equal appropriateness the above applies to the novel and gigantic stock of HATS and CAPS, with every elegant description of HOSIERY, BOOTS and SHOES, &c. &c., presented by E. Moms and Sow.

Evening now fell rapidly, and by eleven o'clock night had shrouded the whole scene from view, ex cept at Slope Hill, where in front of the marquees of General Fane's quarters the long lines of white tents could be faintly distinguished, gleaming through the darkness ; and here and there the tall, muffled figures of the sentries slowly pacing their appointed posts. The wind, which bad been blowing cool all the evening, now sighed mournfully as it swept in hard and fitful gusts over the wide expanse of desolate moorland, the edges of which, blending with the dark horizon in the distance, made it appear of almost boundless extent. At twelve o'clock the moon had risen over the whole scene, and one more calm, beautiful, and characteristic it is hardly possible to imagine. On the right, at the cavalry quarters, the voices of a party of officers, still in their mess tent, could be plainly heard amid the general stillness, to gether with the notes of a number of nightingales which were warbling forth near the woods of Colonel Chal loner's plantation. The latter, though contributing so much to the harmony and romance of the scene, were evidently quite unconscious of the suspicious proximity of a large owl, which was flitting moodily about the tall dark firs, evidently on the qui vive for the nocturnal minstrels. Things remained pretty much in this qui escent state until about one, when several gentleman, who had expected that the camp would be turned out in the night, came upon the heath for the pur pose of witnessing a sight at once so novel and in teresting. But also at the same time thick dark clouds began to make their appearance in the sky, and com pletely overcast the moon. These atmospheric threat enings were ominous to the wishes of the party of watchers, since it was well known that if the weather should prove unfavourable the night surprisp would not be given ; for, though no mere fatigue is spared the men, all unnecessary exposure to the damp and cold is avoided as much as is consistent with a proper discharge of the duties of the camp. But all hopes or fears as to the weather holding up were quickly set at rest, for just as grey twilight began to streak the east, and the alarm, if it was to come at all, might have been looked for, . . then it began to rain and blow with a sullen constancy and vehemence which would induce us, who now know its relentless nature, to back the Chobham rain against all the other aqueous humours of the universe. This literally and figuratively threw a damp upon the busi ness of the night. As there was evidently no prospect of either the rain stopping or the night surprise coming in such weather, the gentlemen watchers whom we have mentioned reluctantly left the heath. They left it re luctantly, but not disappointed ; for although they had failed, owing to the bad weather, to witness a grand night surprise of the whole force, still they had witnessed what few remain to see, the poetical and striking aspect of the camp by night. In one week one million five hundred thousand pounds value in gold was received from Australia, yet the bullion at the Bank of England decreases. The purposes of commerce call into circula tion a vast proportion of precious metals. Diggers, however suc cessful, cannot overstock the market. What should be done with the gold previous to eniharkation ? At E. MOSES and Sores the best, the most complete, the most useful and indispensible Outfits may be procured on considerably less gold than might be expended elsewhere. The greatest advantages are derived from investments of gold in the Clothing matavactured by E. Moses and Sox, which is cele brated in all the colonies. Merchants. Captains, and Emigrants should inspect the largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment in the world, that is E. MOSES and Sores.

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 duced 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 consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scion eacannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LW:WERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s 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.

It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation.

FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a shocking accident occurred on the Great Northern line, at Bardney, Lincolnshire. It appears that a porter, named William Evans, was on tho platform, near Bardney station, on Monday morning, on the arrival of a coal-truck train, which was drawing up for the pur pose of shunting some trucks for the Bardney station. Evans tried to get upon the engine, and, either from his foot slipping or his missing his hand hold, he fell under the tender, and the latter, as well as several trucks, passed over him. The body presented a most revolting spectacle, the head was severed from the body, the arms torn into several parts, the heart thrust out on one side, and the bowels obtruded on the other. An inquest was afterwards held on the remains, when the evidence went to show that the deceased, in striving to get upon the tender, was violating a rule of the company. THE SYDRNHAII PALACE.—The first rib of the great transept is to be raised on the 30th inst., and the event will be celebrated by a dinner, to be given by the direc tors to the principal artists and contractors on the fol lowing day. When it is remembered that the transept of the Exhibition Building in Hyde-park was 150 feet in height, and its semi-cylindrical roof 80 feet in span, whereas the height of the great transept at Sydenham is 200 feet, and the span of the ribs 120 feet, it can scarcely be wondered at that the operation of the 30th inst. is anticipated with much interest.—The Builder. AN HONEST DEBTOR IN AUSTRALIA.—Mr. John Oliver, late grocer and flour-dealer in Washington, Dur ham, who emigrated to Australia, has written to one of his assignees, Mr. Joseph Probert, requesting to be sent to him, immediately on receipt of his letter, an account of the deficient sums due to each creditor, stating that it is his intention to discharge, in as short a time as pos sible, and by as few instalments, the several amounts, with 15 per cent. interest. It may, perhaps, be interest• ing to know that when Mr. Oliver landed in that coun try, the whole of his property tensisted of one halfpenny and a few books. However, a fellow shipmate and gen tleman took him by the hand, and placed him in a way to earn an honest fortune. This he states, to show what little he possessed when he left Washington.— Atotralion and New Zealand Gazette. THE CAMP AT THE ENCAMP: On Friday evening, as the .blic are aware, his Royal Highness Prince Albert s b •P -illy arrived, about half past five, at the encatnpmentaind there established him self in the royal pavilion a 4 blead-quarters. The unex pected arrival of a visitor of:linch distinction occasioned no small gossip among, the tAgers, the majority of whom were totally unaware of the: aeons which induced his Royal Highness to break ' rest by passing a night et upon. the heath, for it was " ' nt to all that he intended stopping there. Some egujootured that it was for the purpose of being early one tha ground for the review of the following day, quite fOggtting that, come at what hour they may, princes *reliever late. Some guessed the precise truth—namely, thit it was to witness a night surprise ; but this was a mere guess, and not generally credited, as the officers reasoned that the men, having a most fatiguing field-day to .go through with on Satur day, they would not have their previous night's rest broken by any alarm in the camp, which could well be postponed to a less active season. The appearance of the order-book which is issued.every evening, and which generally contains a prograMme of the following day's proceedings, did not remove these doubts. It merely stated that 20 rounds of ammunition were to be issued to the men, in addition to what was already in their pouches, making up a total stock of 35 rounds per man. The issuing of such an unusual quantity was taken as a suffi cient guarantee of the sharp field practice which they would have to undergo during the review on the follow ing day. There was also another paragraph in the ge neral orders which seemed to bode nogood to the night's rest of the forces, and which - pautioned officers to impress upon the men, before retiriwfor the evening, the neces sity of turning out unawlanirs' -- the instant the tattoo ' was heard bOating. This last sentence was deemed by most of the officers to be conclusive as to a night's sur prise being close at hand ; but, of course, none of these suspicions transpired among the visitors who had come down in the expectation of seeing a field-day, and, being, as the public are aware, miserably disappointed, were Consoling themselves by gazing at the aspect which the camp presented by sunset from one of the neighbouring hills. This appearance was unusually picturesque on Friday evening. All the men were out between the tents, amusin ,, themselves with athletic games of various kinds, and from a distance their clus tering forms and many-coloured uniforms, standing out in bold relief upon the dark brown heather, gave an animation and beauty to the scene which it is almost impossible to describe in words. The many roads across the common were covered with long lines of waggons laden with provender for the horses and provisions for the men, while upon the extreme right and left of the position from the cavalry and artillery stables over the heath were streaming two long lines of horse, each com prising about 1,400 splendid animals, cantering down to water at the neighbouring ponds. At th e same ti me (seven o'clock) the last bugle for mess was, blown, and simultaneously the bands of all the different regiments struck up their favourite airs, while the officers sat down to mess. The harsh clang of the pipers of the Highland regiments, and the splendid military music of the other bands, came, mellowed by the distance, into one har monious murmur, which imparted a finish to a scene sufficiently characteristic and striking in itself. By 8 o'clock mess was over, and the officers strolled about the comp, looking on with much interest at the games and sports of their respective regiinents. The English soldier, as usual, played football, while the Highlander danced reels, strathspeys, and fli ngs w ith wonderful grace and agility. At the cavalry quarters all boisterous amusements were given up, out of respect to the neat proximity of the Prince's tent upon the Mag net ; but the men strolled about, smoking, or sat upon the brow of the hill which overlooks the whole camp, enjoying the prospect which lay stretched beneath them bathed in all the beauties of the glorious sunset. The sun went down, the games grew fainter, and the players less energetic. P ar ties of " leave men" began to hurry across the heath, to join their companies before tattoo, while, too tired to wait for the welcome signal, an immense number of the men had already turned in for the night. At half-past nine o'clock the last signal for the night watch was given. The "ear-piercing fife " and " spirit stirring-drum " cleared the camp ground as if by magic, and by the time the long melancholy notes of the bugles, sounding the recal, had faded away in the distance, not a man was to be seen among the long white lines of the THE REVIEW ON SATURDAY. At six on Saturday morning the quarter guards and outlying picquets turned out under arms, and encoun tered the most formidable enemy which the camp has to contend against—namely, thoroughly bad weather. The rain and the wind still struggled for supremacy, and the unfortunate troops had to struggle against both. If any person really wants to see how far wind and rain will go to render quarters upon a marshy heath thoroughly uncomfortable, let him visit the camp ; and if he goes upon a grand field-day, when the officers and men are out in full uniform without their great coats, his chance is all the better. So continuous and heavy was the rain on Saturday morning that we believe his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the officers in command at one time were about to give up any idea of a field day; towards eleven, however, the sky began to clear, and the troops that had been under arms since halfpast nine in their tents were ordered to parade in light marching order. The public, however, to avoid mistake, must not imagine that by "light marching" order any very airy costume is implied. A soldier, when in light marching order, carries 401 b. weight of equipments, when in heavy, 631 b. The troops paraded as usual, in front of the camp, and having been inspected by their commanding officer, his Royal High ness Prince Albert, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, General Lord Seaton, and many generals and officers of distinction in the service of his Majesty the King of Hanover, issued from the Queen's pavilion upon the Magnet, followed by a most numerous and brilliant staff. The troops, having saluted the Prince Consort with the customary honours, his Royal Highness rode over to the cavalry squadrons, the command of which he assumed in the performance of the subsequent evolutions of the day. Preparations were then made for a sham battle. The, e n e my were represented by a small party of men from they Scots Fusilier Guards, a detachment from the 23d Regi ment, and some companies of the Sappers and Miners. The whole of the remainder of the forces on the ground formed the attacking party. We may here mention that the camp at Chobham is supposed always to be confronted with a superior force of the enemy, which is one day worsted and another day victorious. On Saturday they were neither, for, though the camp forces drove their opponents rapidly across the plain and Bagshot heights, which are nearly six miles from the place where the ac tion commenced, yet here the enemy made a gallant stand, and repulsed the camp troops, which were com pelled to retire quickly, though in good order, within their lines. The march of the camp forces commenced on the right of the lines, near Colonel Challoner's plantations. The enemy, who were only about 400 strong, and merely formed a strong line of skirmishers, occupied the western end of Cattin's Valley, and opened fire the instant the forte began their march onward. This being merely a desultory dropping fusillade, no notice was taken of it by the attacking party, which steadily pushed forward for a small kind of bridge at the western end of Cattin's Valley, formed by a wide dam, erected to stop the course of a brook, and so form a pond or reservoir for the cavalry horses to water at. But the enemy had already seen the importance of maintaining the narrow pass, and accordingly as the troops were forming to cross it in close column, they were met with such a hot and steady fire that the Horse Artillery had to move up to their support, and from the heights open a heavy cannonade in reply, under cover of which the skirmishers and cavalry effected the passage in gallant style, and were followed over in regular and rapid order by the remain der or the forces. Arrived upon the other side of the valley the cavalry were beautifully manoeuvred by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort so as to cover the right flank of the position, while the infantry formed by com panies in the order of battle. The foot batteries of the artillery were also pushed forward to support the left flank and crown a height under which the forces might retreat if hard pressed. But the enemy, fearing the strong position which was being taken up against him, sounded a retreat, which was then commenced, a con tinuous running fight being maintained all the time. The whole of the forces then advanced in rapid pursuit, the infantry, with the Rifles leading, • being formed in close columns, with the cavalry and flying artillery upon the height on the right. In these relative positions the whole forces moved rapidly across the valley to the north, near the Bagshot heights, the Rifles broken up now into skirmishing order, answering the fire of the enemy's light infantry companies with astonishing ra pidity. The enemy were at this time evidently hard pressed, and retreated upon the hill, where they would have a formidable position, but for the skill with which ' the cavalry were manoeuvred. The whole four regi ments advanced at a hand gallop, accompanied by the Horse Artillery, and making a detour among the hills .which cross the end of the valley in every direction, came out upon the enemy's right flank, against which the guns poured out a tremendous fire. The instant the smoke had cleared away so as to leave the field com paratively open, the squadrons of cavalry wheeled_ up on the left, and rapidly deploying into line the let Life Guards and Dragoon Guards executed a most splendid charge, advancing at a rapid gal lop for more than half a mile, without the small est deviation from . the most perfect regularity of front or rear being perceptible. The Carabineers and Lancers followed with the same regularity, though at a much slower pace; to - support the onset of the heavy cavalry if needed. By this advance, and the formidable position taken-up by the.field batteries, the right flank of the enemy was thrown into complete disorder, his light companies driven in, and a total rout only averted by the adroitness with which he changed his front—a most difficult and dangerous manoeuvre, but which was in this instance performed. so adroitly as to threaten to outflank the right of the attacking force. To counteract this movement of their active opponents, and avoid its effects, the camp troops were in turn obliged to change their front, and never did we witness anything which more fully displayed the discipline of the various regi ments than the manner in which this evolution was per-. formed. The troops halted in column at three-quarter distance, formed open column, and then deployed into line with the precision of machines. At the same time the Household Foot Brigades, which up to this period had been very slightly engaged, were ordered up from the rear, where they had been stationed, and advanced upon the enemy's right, so as to completely cut off his retreat in that quarter. From this time movements and counter-movements were formed and carried out on both sides with the most wonderful rapidity and good order; the object of the attacking force being to hem in the enemy and drive them over the hills in their rear. This object was at last accomplished, though with very considerable difficulty, for the enemy was active and vigilant, and upon the supposition that their forces were superior to those of the camp, it be came necessary to watch their movements with the most jealous care. But for the rapidity and skill with which the cavalry and horse artillery acted upon both flanks of the enemy, and at one time threatening to turn and surround his whole position,•we believe it would have been impossible to have prevented their escape through one of the many little valleys which, as we have said, intersect this end of the common. As it was, however, they were driven up the hills in their rear, and the whole attacking force advanced in three columns to carry the heights. The 50th, 38th, and 95th Regiments stormed the centre, the three battalions of Foot Guards the left flank, and , the cavalry and horse artillery ma noeuvred at the base of the hill in the enemy's rear, to cut off the retreat in that direction. - Up to this period the action had been all in favour of the attacking party; but now the tide of fortune was about to ebb, for the fire of the enemy upon the hill increased in intensity, so that the regiments which had surmounted the heights were unable to advance, and after sustaining and returning a tremendous fusilade for nearly half an hour, received orders to retreat slowly. The retreat was admirably conducted, and displayed in the highest degree the dis cipline of the various corps engaged. Faeh,.regiment in turn deployed into line, and com menced file firino to cover the retreat of the rest of the forces.'' At=one dine:" however;`'pressed so hard upon the rear as to drive in the light companies, and threaten the camp forces with a total rout. To check this a halt was sounded, and the whole force formed upon the plain in order of battle. The Rifle battalion, 95th, 38th, 42d, 93d, and 50th Regiments, with the field batteries upon a slight eminence in their rear, forming the centre ; the Horse Artillery, Ist Life Guards, 13th Dragoon Guards, 6th Carabineers, and 17th Lancers, slightly in advance on the left ; and the three battalions of Foot Guards deployed into the line on the right of the position. From this the retreat was again commenced, and the rapidity and skill with which ad vantage was taken of the least inequality in the ground, to form line and cover the backward movement, was beautiful to witness. _ _ The finest movement of the day was just towards the close of the engagement. The camp forces had been driven back, to_the little bridge already mentioned, across which in the commencement of the action they had driven the enemy. The passage of the army over this bridge to .the shelter of their own lines was finely executed. The Rifle battalion, thrown out in skirmishing order, and supported by the 42d Highlanders in open column, formed the centre, stretching down on the left to the little brook, while the Foot Guards, in line, formed the right, thus enclosing the remainder of the forces about' to cross the dyke or bridge in an acute angle, impervious 'to • the assaults of the enemy from without. In this position the Rifles kept up their deadly scattered fire in advance of the line, while the Guards on the right, firing by companies, poured out incessant volleys of mus ketry, under cover of which the whole of the artillery and cavalry effected their passage. The instant this was ac complished, the batteries, horse and foot, were planted on the heights upon the other side of the passage, and opened a fire over the heads of the infantry in the plain upon the advancing enemy. So continuous was the cannonade, that the country for miles around echoed and shook beneath the tremendous roar. Under cover of this the 95th, 93d, 38th, the 50th, and the Guards crossed in safety, the 42d Highlanders occupying the places of the Guards and firing by companies during the movement. Only the 42d and Rifles now remained to cross the bridge, and to effect this the foot regiments, already upon the other side, drew up in line under cover of their batteries on the heights, and commenced that most deadly of all kinds of firing, file firing. The 42d then crossed, the Rifles being the last to quit the field. Thus ended one of the grandest and most effective military displays which has ever been witnessed in this country, the fight having lasted five hours, during nearly one and a half of which there was heavy rain. We /Understand the Prince Consort expressed the highest satisfaction, not only at the appearance of the troops, but their admirable proficiency in all the ma noeuvres of field exercise. His Royal Highness, after the review, proceeded to the Queen's Pavilion, when, having partaken of a slight refreshment, the Royal suite quitted the camp. The troops after the action returned immediately to their various quarters without filing past his Royal High ness, being excused that duty we believe owing to the very fatiguing nature of the manoeuvres in which they had been employed. The whole of the forces still continue in excellent health. It is intended, we believe, in the course of a few days, that the troops shall march to Woking, which town they are to invest and carry by storm. No day is named for this manoeuvre, as it is feared, if publicly known, too great a concourse of spectators would attend to admit of the operations being properly carried out. CHERTSEY, SUNDAY. The weather at the camp during the greater part of the day has been very fine, though it threatens rain to wards evening. All the troops have heard Divine Ser vice this morning. Most of the regiments were formed in hollow square in the rear of their lines, and from the centre of which the service was read. Beyond this nothing of the least public interest took place. ACCIDENTAL POISONING AT CLAPHAM.—On Saturday Mr. Higgs, coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, held an inquest at the Two Brewers, High-street, Clapham, on view of the body of Mr. G. Richard Thomas Fenner, aged 47, a gentleman of property, residing at Clapham Rise, who was accidentally poisoned by swallowing a quantity of an embrocation. The deceased lived with his wife and family at Clapham, and was generally in good health and spirits, with the exception that he occa sionally suffered from an attack of lumbago, for which he was attended by Mr. L. Weaver, surgeon, Sackville villas, South Lambeth, who prescribed for the complaint a black draught and an embrocation. On Thursday week he inadvertently took some of the embrocation. Upon discovering his mistake he sent his servant for his medical adviser, who promptly attended. The embroca tion had a printed label on it, "Embrocation." A fourth part to be rubbed in night and morning. Verdict— " That the deceased died through taking inadvertently an embrocation composed of laudanum and ammonia, nstead of a black draught." A LUCKY MAN.—Captain Leicester Vernon, ' the newly-elected M.P. for Chatham, and brother to Sir F. Smith, received the name and arms of Vernon'-on riling the large fortune and estates,of -Mr. RObert Ver non, of Ardington-hall, Berkshire, well known by his splendid present to the nation of the Vernon Gallery. j Captain L. Vernon had previously taken the name of f Samwel, with the estate of Upton-hall, Northampton shire. By information we can rely on from her Majesty's ship London, dated Spithead, June 20, we have the fol lowing statement relative to the dreadful and fatal acci dent which took place on board that ship on the 15th inst. The writer says—" We have just returned from our cruise of one month from Lisbon, where we arrived on the 11th, and found the cruiser with our Admiral's dispatches, with orders to make all possible speed back to Portsmouth. We got under . weigh the same night, and anchored in Casettes , Bay until morn ing, in consequence of two of the fleet who were - obliged to water. In the' morning' we again got under way and were becalmed• up to Wednesday. The Ad miral made a signal for the steamer's to prepare to tow. Our order for towing was as follows=-Weather-line, the Prince Regent flag-ship towedlby the Leopard ; the Am phion having broke down, was takbn in tow by . the Highflyer ; and the lee-line was our ship (the London), towed by the Imperieuse. lam now going to relate a most melancholy accident that happened on board• our unlucky ship. The signal being made to commence towing, at 8 o'clock a.m. we commenced operations, and all went on well until 10 o'clock the same day, when the Imperieuse stopped her engines for the,pur-! pose of putting some parcelling round the - hawser, - to pre _ventehafin2,.. and on her going abead,agaiu, she, • then towing us by her stream cable made fast to our stream-cable, which was passed through our starboard hawse-hole, and was made fast by a round turn round our fore-bitts, and over the strongback, coming forward to the ringbolt that we fasten the slip stopper to), the steamer starting on at full speed, and the ship at this time lying a dead weight in the water, it caused the ringbolt to draw, which, with the hawser, flew round the bitts, carrying away the strongback and destroying everything in the track of it. It most unfortunately killed seven poor fellows, and wounded three more, who are still in a very precarious state. The persons killed are as follows :—Our First Lieutenant, killed on the spot ; our gunner's mate, Charles Burreau ; Richard Cottle, Robert High, and John Bissiker, ordinary sea men ; James Beaver, second-class boy ; and John Lo vett, Royal Marine, died from the injuries they re ceived. Two boys were severely wounded, and one gunner's mate bad his arm broken and his thigh so much injured as to confine him to his cot in the sick bay. Our lower deck was a scene of horror for the whole day, it being covered forward with pieces of stan chions, basins and plates, broken stools, tables, and mess shelves, and the deck covered with blood. Thank God it was no worse. A subscription has been made ; we have all given one day's pay ; the captain and one of the midshipmen have given 201. each. There was only one of the sufferers married ; it is to be hoped that his widow, who is left with one child, with the prospect of another in a short time, will get a good share of this little offering of ours. We lost the towing hawser, and likewise two others ; we have made a fine smash alto gether ; our bitt-head is so much strained as to require a new one." Speaking of the sailing qualities of the London, the writer says :—" We have beat them all in running before the wind, except the Imperieuse ; she just holds her way with us ; but of b ea ti ng to windward I cannot say much, as we have n o t h a d a goo d tr i al, b ut the Admiral has expressed himself very much pleased with our sailing qualities. We understand here the crew are to be paid down, have 14 days' leave, and then proceed to the Mediterranean. It is also rumoured that all the crew and partyof the officers are to be tumid over to one of the large screw-ships here. "It is very remarkable that when the London was taken in tow to leave Sheerness, the steam-tug vessel went suddenly ahead ; before the hawser was properly secured it rendered round the same bitts, and struck our first lieutenant between his shoulders, which confined him to his cot for several days. He is now killed by nearly the same sort of accident, if it can be called such a thing. Mr. Richards, the master rigger of Sheerness yard, was struck by the hawser across both his legs at the above time, and knocked down, and had he not caught hold of poor Lieutenant Chapman then, he (Lieutenant Chapman) most likely would have been killed." The Boscawen, 70, guard-ship of ordinary at Chatham, Captain Peter Richards, is ordered to drop down to Gil lingam-reach, where she is to receive on board her lower deck guns and complete her armament. Several landsmen have been entered under the new regulations. The Monarch, 84 guns, guardship of ordinary, Captain Charles Hope.—The crew of this ship were yesterday paid wages down to the 30th of April last, receiving the residue of their six months' pay. For this purpose the Chatham yacht, Grundy, Acting Master, in command, arrived here at 9 15 a.m., with the staff of the Chatham Pay-office, and immediately commenced paying the crew, under the personal superintendence of Captain Charles Hope. The steam-vessel Cuckoo, manned from the Waterloo (flag-ship), is ordered to be got ready to leave here on Tuesday next, with the Commander, Jenner, who pro ceeds to the mercantile outports, for the purpose of en tering landsmen and sailors, volunteers for the service, under the Admiralty new regulations. The Royal George, 120, s cre w steam line-of-battle . . _ ship, Mr. John R. 61Osh, chief engineer, was taken into the fitting basin yesterday, and placed under the masting sheers. The Tribune, 30, new screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, at noon yesterday, left Saltpan reach, and proceeded down Swin on a trial trip ; she re turned into harbour at 7 p.m., and at 8 30 a.m. this day she again left the harbour and renewed her trial between the Nore and Mouse Light vessels, the distance be tween being eight miles. The result was highly satis factory ; with the tide in her favour she ran 12 knots clean off the reel. Owing to her present light draught of water, her propeller is not sufficiently immersed ; added to this, the engines being new, the bearings and ma chinery generally by future working will yet im prove ; and it is fully anticipated that, when in proper trim, she will be equal, if not superior, to any of our steam ships-of-war. She has returned into harbour and taken in moorings. Her fitment is ordered to be com pleted with all possible dispatch. It is reported she is to join the squadron of observation that is to cruise in the North Sea. The squadron will rendezvous at the Nore, and a portion will at all times be cruising in the North Sea. The Miranda, 14 guns, screw steam-sloop, in command pro tens. of Mr. Vincent Williams, master of the Horatio; has been manned from the Waterloo, and has this day been put out of the fitting-basin and towed to Saltpan reach, for the purpose of completing her stock of coals. On Tuesday next she is to proceed on a trial trip down Swin, under the superintendence of Mr. Highes, the Admiralty engineer, who has been for some 'time past superintending the various trials of the Tribune. Lieutenant Charles Bromley (Ist of September, 1845) took up his commission on the 23d inst., and joined the Tribune. • Lieut. Charles S. Forbes (13th of March, 1848) took THE ROYAL DOCKYARD CORPS. Lieutenant Constantine Read, of the Royal West Middlesex Militia (Rifles), son of Lieutenant-Colonel Read, has been attached to the Royal Dockyard Corps to this place, to perfect himself in the drill, and is doing duty with Captain Luson's company of Light Infantry. CIVIL SERVICE. Several shipwrights who have left this yard are now working at Northtleet, on the river Thames, and are receiving Bs. per day, being insured two years' work, with the offer of their working extra hours during the summer months, by which they can earn from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per day. Several shipwrights are preparing to leave this yard. Mr. Robert Laws, storekeeper of this yard, has de signed a new sot of money-tables, by which the work men are not occupied one-half the time in receiving their money. Each table contains 100 holes or cups ; the wages due are deposited in each cup, corresponding numbers re placed on each, with the workman's ticket; -there are 12 tables, and two clerks yesterday paid 1,000/.

Kennedy (1341), to be First Lieutenant in the London, 90, at Portsmouth, in the room of Lieutenant Wellesley P. Chapman, who wp killed on board that vessel when she was being towedl the Imperieuse screw steam-frigate. The Cyclops steam-frigate has been taken into the basin, and is placed under the sheers to receive on board the four boilers and machinery of 400-horse powe:, nude by Messrs.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a most awful character, which was on Saturday the subject of a magisterial investigation, occurred on the branch line of the London and South-Western Railway,. on Wed nesday last, by which one man was cut to p and the lives of two other persons jeopardised. From the evidence adduced before the bench, it appears that on the day previously named, three men, named respec tively Benjamin Hunt, Win. Trimmer, and Cornelius Moore, were engaged to keep the lines of metal in good condition. The first-named (now deceased) was fore man, and on Wednesday he and the men under him had received their week's wages, and had afterwards gone to a newly-opened beershop at liollybourne, where they all got intoxicated. They left the beer-shop together, and having gained the railway they laid them selves down on the line and went to sleep. The thrut o'clock afternoon train came down at the usual time, may hut hurled supposed, his pu p o b s o e d d y , i off n s L h n e t a p n e when Runt, who was lying on th e ra il s , was caug ht by , , the fire-guard of the locom o ti ve, w hi c h cut hi s h ea d i n a aht, th en as e r pe rmanent T w r k t‘ i v ui i n n g , am mer was lying close to the rails and dead drunk, but, being rolled a little on one side as the train came up, fortunately escaped ; and the other man was making his way across a meadow as the train was coming in, for the purpose of procuring more drink, when he like wise fell down insensible and also escaped. Neither the guard, engineer, nor fir3inau saw the men on the line, and were perfectly unconscious of what had hap pened, but Mr. Lillywhite, a miller, in passirg by the railway, found the deceased acrosv the. metils (lead and dreadfully mutil tted. Trimmer was lying close by hint fast asleep, with a piece of bread in his mouth and a knife in his hand. Mr. Lillywhite at once proceeded to the station and gave an alarm, when two porters came to the spot just before the luggage train came in sight. After . Smite time they succeeded in arousing Trimmer and removing the deceased, when Moore crossed the line, swearing dreadfully at what he termed the folly o f his companion in losing his life. Moore and Trimmer • were sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment for being I found drunk on the line ; but the inquest has not 3'a ' I been held on the deceased, 7, f er ia. 20 od o m°ll S 3 n . 7 35 v" of el 'oto OW ; k :"0, 968• “” • '"oil loc ° t rife 'O7 te i?
