RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this Is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was tke means of saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—lt is a great boon to so clety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. Tho New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. North Walsharn.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there Is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been sayed."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22,_1846. At a Norwich 'fire Juno 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The tour large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prows steam-bollers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all itormer Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and preg,ressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hatton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle In pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,100 lbs. of water one foot high In a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and moat extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Panm, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Hallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Tankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,153, and in No. 496, nook-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. however, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 fbet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps. - - W.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London.--The principles of the Ilygelan theory arc con tained In the following propositions :-1. The vital principle is con tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta gions, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to bo such proper vegetable purgative. 9. irons the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and tie body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Bygeism—The science of health. Ilygeist—A promoter of health. Ilygeian—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely fir the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools. DE.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, wken abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the mature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the kanaaa frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the iteprodective Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities •f which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that them complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse -sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. L &WERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The Learned JUDGE sentenced her to be transported for seven years for each offence, each term to commence and to terminate at the same period. John Warren and Frederick Gazely were indicted for having stolen a gold watch of the value of 631., the pro perty of George Henry Turnbull, from his person. Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoners. Warren is a member of the prime-ring. Tho prosecutor stated that, on the morning of the 23d ult., having previously dined out, he went up to the Sheridan Knowles' public-house, opposite Drury-lane Theatre, and at about six o' c l oc k in the morning, when he was in the room behind the bar, the door was sud denly pushed open, when in rushed a number of persons, amongst whom were the prisoners. Warren presently laid hold of him and threw him down, and then fell upon him. Whilst on him, the prosecutor felt the prisoner pull his watch out of the pocket. The other prisoner assisted Warren. A policeman was called in, and eventually both prisoners were given into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—HO had since had his watch returned, but it was not handed to him by either of the prisoners. He did not know who it was that had returned the watch to him, but it had been handed to him by a man in Cannon-street—in Salter's hall court, in fact. Prior to the restoration of his watch, he had been twice at the Bow-street Police -court, and appeared to support his charge against the prisoners. At the moment when the watch was returned to him he did not see any policeman near, so that he could at once have given the man who had brought the watch to him into custody. He lived in Suffolk-lane, Cannon-street, and, having received a message that his watch would be returned if he went into Cannon-street, he had gone there and received it. At the time when the disturb ance had taken place at the Sheridan Knowles, and when he had been robbed, it was about six o'clock in the morning. He had been dining at Hackney on the previous evening, and had walked up afterwards to Bishopsgate-street, where he bad gone into a public house. Whilst there, he met an acquaintance of the name of White, who was in the law, and they took a cab and drove up to the West-end. They went to the Sheridan Knowles, where they met with a fighting man of the name, as it was understood, of Chaffey, with whom they went to Boswell-court, where they had something to drink at a place kept by a man of the name of Smith. From Smith's they returned to the Sheridan Knowles, where the robbery subsequently took place. He did not deny that he hail been drinking, but he did deny that he had been dancing, or at a masque rade. It had not been his intention to go home on that particular night. On his return from Boswell-court he had walked with his acquaintance the lawyer and his fighting friend to the Sheridan Knowles. Wh e n h e fi rs t arrived at the Sheridan Knowles it might have been about three o'clock, and it was after that hour that he, in company with the lawyer and the fighting man, had gone down to Boswell-court. Both of these individuals were with him at the moment that the prisoner had at tacked him. The Learned JUDGE, interrupting, said that many of the questions which the Learned Counsel had been put ting were altogether beside the question which the jury had to determine, and that, had he been aware that the case would have lasted so long, or that the Learned Counsel would have continued such a series of questions, which were not relevant, he should have put the case lower down in the list, and taken a number of others, and thereby have released a great many persons who now would be compelled to come again to-morrow (this day). The Foreman of the jury said that he was of the same opinion with the Learned Judge. He thought that a vast many questions had been put by the Learned Counsel which had nothing to do with the points they had to deal with. It was, he thought, a most unneces sary waste of time. Mr. PRENDERGAsT was quite astonished at these re. marks. How could either the Judge or that member of the jury, who had offered some remarks, possibly know what his instructions were ? He must of necessity be aware of the course of cross-examination which it was the best to take, and, being in possession of that know ledge, he should, despite the observations from the Bench and the foreman of the jury, pursue the exami nation he bad embarked in. The Learned JUDQE said, that he would repeat that he considered there had been a great waste of time in this case, and that, had he known it would have last©d ao long, he should have taken many others before it, and so have released a large number of persons from their attendance. Cross-examination resumed—The witness had enough to do to take care of himself, and therefore he did net see whether his friend the fighting man attempted to render him any assistance. Ho had been a patron of the ring, and had attended fights, but had never gone into the ring. The policeman said, that when he was called in he found the prisoner Gazely upon the prosecutor, and the prisoner Warren lying by his side. Both mon he ulti mately took into custody. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury at considerable length on behalf of the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case. The jury found both the prisoners Guilty. They were sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, DEc. 8.

Again is tows inundated with rumours of murders, which, upon dicer inquiry, turn out to have no better foundation than tad those which had gained currency at the close o the last week. Meanwhile, and although there is 0 actual ease of assassination to record, there are warnags abroad which clearly indicate that the trade of the aurderer is only suspended, not paralysed. Among to last batch of victims marked out for immolation figups the name of a dignitary of the Established Church --not one of the high•flying " Tory " class, but the Vhig and ultra- Liberal Dean Hoare, of Aehonry, a drgyrnan whose efforts to relieve the distresses of the )oor during the recent season of calamity cannot be yet obliterated from the memory of the public. Hee is the return ho has met with, as given in his own wsrds : " I have received a threatening rotioe of a most alarming character, posted at Elphin (dated Strokes town), threatening me with the fate cf Major Mahon. It is signed' Molly Maguire,' and calls ne to account for all the money which I had received for the relief of the poor I —accuses me of selling turnips at too high a price (though I sold lower than the marlet)—and alludes to a disappointment, by a man in this ndghbourhood, of a situation under the poor law guardian:, which he and his friends attribute to my interferenc3. We are here within thirty miles of Strokestown, and I fear the spirit of Roscommon and Leitrim is spreading-towards us. Same day that the letter reached me by post, a friendly notice was left in my yard, warning me not to return by the same road Iha gone to Tubbercurry, and not to be on the roads without a policeman. It may providentially have saved my life, as I took a different road back from the petty sessions--my steward having sent the notice to me while I was still sitting on the bench—and I took two armed policemen with me in my car. Since then I have two policemen in my offices every night ; and even going to and from church (at foot of the lawn, and within four hundred yards) I am obliged to have their protection ; and, when going lately to Sligo in my car ri•ige, I was obliged to take an armed policeman on the box, changing escort at each police station on my way there and back." Subjoined is a more correct account than any that has been yet published of the murder of the Bev. John Lloyd. It is furnished by a correspondent of the Even ing Mail " None of the accounts which have appeared of the murder of the late Rev. John Lloyd being strictly cor rect, I think it may be acceptable to you to send a state ment collected from the immediate relations and friends of the lamented deoeased. As to the assertions of a d paper which is notoriously a pand erer to the savage t t h as ey tes ar o e f a th lt e og murderers of tmher.coLulnoy was not a man of trY. I can assure you extreme views or opinions—nor was he of the councils of the late Major Mahon. On the contrary, he was very moderate in politics and was by no means on confiden tial terms with the unfortunate Major Mahon. It is notoriously talse that Mr. Lloyd 'had incurred much unpopularity during the ' period of de s ti tut i on, and also as a poor-law guardian, for he was not a poor-law guardian ; and during the severe trials of last winter he devoted himself with unparalleled benevolence to the relief of the poor. He was never to be missed from the relief committee ; and, besides, was liberal in the extreme in providing for the sick and starving people around from his own private means. Nor had he, as has been stated, ejected any tenant or tenants in the county of Leitrim. On the contrary, about two years ago he voluntarily lowered the rents on his small pro perty there by 1001. a year. The circumstances of the atrocious act wore these:—Mr. Lloyd was returning in his gig, accompanied by a boy, from the church of Au ghrim, where he had officiated, and had reached within an English mile of his home, when ho stopped, as his custom was, to give his horse some water. Two men carne up and asked what he was going to do? he said, "ro water his horse.' They said, You shall not do that;' to which he replied, Why not?' In the mean time one had taken hold of the horse, and the other had ordered the servant to come out of the gig. When poor Mr. Lloyd asked, Why not?' the man replied, 'Because we are going to shoot you.' Well,' said their victim, fire; lam ready to die.' One of the ruffians, who ha steadied his pistol on the dashboard of the gig, fired, :lad poor Mr. Lloyd fell dead; one slug (a 3 appeared on after examination), having gone through his heart, and another lodged in his spine. The men wore dressed better than the generality of the peasantry of this coun try. After the bloody deed, they quietly walked away, and though at once a large crowd collected, no one attempted to follow or trace the murderers. The terror that prevails is extreme. Every gentleman I have seen carries arms ; some are constantly accompanied by po lice. At poor Mr. Lloyd's funeral, which was attended by all the gentry of the neighbourhood, all the gentle men present were armed, and some carried their arms from their carriages into the churchyard. There has been a large attendance of magistrates to investigate this horrible case every day since it occurred; but it would be unwise to publish at present what have been the results of their labours." Another correspondent states, " There are reasons to believe that the murderers of Mr. Lloyd are in custody. A policeman happening to pass, a short time after the murder, picked up the wadding of the gun with which the deed was perpetrated. It was composed of a piece of paper, with writing on it. A search was made, and a book found, from which a leaf had been torn. On comparing the writing on the wadding, it was found to correspond with the writing in the book. Two men are in custody, and little doubt is entertained as to their identity." - REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The amount of rent up to post hour this afternoon was stated to be 481. .EXTRAORRESSION OF THE BAROMETER. On Monday evening last the barometer exhibited a most unusual depression; not, however, as supposed by many, the lowest unknown. The lowest point reached, which was about six o'clock P.M., was 28.10; it con tinued stationary for a time; but towards eight o'clock it had again risen to 28.25. It was, howe ver, subjected to a second depression, and about mid night was again down to 28.10. This depression indicates a very severe storm in some localities, though we have escaped it in Manchester, not having any wind of extra ordinary severity. The letter of our Liverpool corre spondent, and also the electric telegrap h from Liverpool, give accounts of a number of disasters at sea, and it seems that the s t orm was exceedingly severe to the westward. Th e b arometer, on Monday i night,!idi• cated the low es t po i nt of atmospheric pressure since the storm of F r id ay, the 13th January, 1843, when the barometer stood, at six A..m., at 28.0, and at eleven A.m. h a d f a ll en to 27.90. Since then the lowest point reached, p r i or to Monday last, was 28.50, on the 26th February, 1844, and again on the 20th December, 1845, on both which occasions much rain fell and high winds prevailed. On the 13th January, 1843, nine tenths. of an inch of rain fell; bet that was exceeded by the fall on Sunday last, which reached 1.20 inch. The late heavy rains have quite flooded the low lands on the banks of the Mersey; between Sale and Altrincham, fifty or sixty acres, at the least, are covered with water.— Manchester Guardian.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 7.—We received yesterday, from our intelligent and impartial friends in the above squadron a continuation of the interesting de tails of their movements from their last dates, the 20th ult. : " Nov. 21.—The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Rigge, came in with dispatches for Sir Charles, from England ; she also brought Capt. Bruce to take command of the Queen. "22d.—At 9 A.M. signal was made Ship foretop mast with watch,' which was done in the following order :—Scourge, 55 minutes ; Caledonia, 1 hour and 38 minutes ; Dragon, 1 hour and 49 minutes ; Canopus, 1 hour and 56 minutes ; Queen, 2 hours and 48 minutes ; St. Vincent, 3 hours and 40 minutes ; the Howe, 3 hours and 48 minutes. The Admiral made signal to the Caledonia Very well done,' and also to the Canopus. The English packet arrived in the afternoon, bringing Commander Little for the Queen. " 23d.—The Admiral officially inspected the Queen, and mustered her crew prior to Sir H. Leeke giving up the command. The inspection lasted five hours or nearly, and resulted eminently to the credit of captain, officers, and men. To-day, the Admiral, captains, and officers of the fleet have en tered into a subscription of one day's pay each (the Admiral giving his table money also into the fund), towards a regatta which is to take place on Friday, the 26th. This afternoon the squadron unbent sails to preserve them during the winter. "24th.—Squadron crossed top-gallant yards and signal for general quarters. All busy preparing for the regatta. "25th.—Today the Admiral made the signal optional' with regard to hoisting out-boats and ex ercising, as all hands are preparing for the regatta. "26th.—Rather cloudy morning, and up to twelve o'clock nearly a calm. At ten the regatta com menced, and went off with the most perfect enthu siasm. The whole of the ships and vessels were crowded with visitors. The flag-ship had on board the Infanta, Marchioness of Loule and daughters, Sir Hamilton and Lady Seymour, the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar, &c., who were sumptuously entertained by the Admiral. The King was not present. Splendid parties were given on board the St. Vincent, Howe, Avenger, and Dragon. There are to be some more races, as both the Ambassador and the Duke of Saxe Weimar hare given cups to be rowed for; there are also so me more f un d s l e f t f rom the first subscription, which was raised in two days by the officers of the squadron. " 27th.—This morning it commenced blowing from the west, and raining very hard. The Amphion screw steam-frigate was to have put to sea to make trial of her machinery, which has been three weeks repairing, after her very short voyage from Spithead. She had unmoored and got her steam up at daylight preparatory to starting, which was countermanded by the Admiral. In consequence of the weather the squa dron struck topgallant masts at 7 o'clock, the breeze in creasing. Soon after the Amphion broke her sheer and ran into the Canopus, carrying away the latter's port whisker and dama4ing her cat-head ; and at the same time the Amphion carried her own jib boom away, damaged her bowsprit, &c. She then weighed with a strong ebb tide and got into the stream of the river, using steam, but still dropped down, when sail was made on her, and soon after some of the ropes which had gone from the jib boom were found to have got round the screw pro peller, consequently the engines were stopped, when the rudder became of but little effect, and she drove towards the south shore ; the small bower anchor was let go about a cable or more from the shore when she brought up, it then blowing very hard from west with constant rain. Boats with hawsers were sent from the squadron, and the Scourge got her steam up and went to her assistance. At eleven the wind shifted to north-west, and the weather cleared up a little, when she was taken in tow by the Scourge to her anchorage. " 28th.—It blows hard again to-day. The packe has not yet arrived. " 29t1;.----The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, proceeded to-day for Madeira, with their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar, on a visit to the Queen Dowager. The packet arrived to-day, and left at 8 A.M. " 30th.—We are looking out for the Oberon from Portsmouth. The squadron are all healthy, and there are no men in the hospital, which is better arranged than when I last alluded to it. Every facility is now given for British surgeons and their attendants to be there at all hours. Sir Charles has done well by insisting on this measure." Another correspondent says—." Mr. Shirley, an eminent shipbuilder at Lisbon, was drowned in the Tagus on the day of the regatta, by the upsetting of his boat. He was a kind and considerate man to the poor." ___ _ The Fairy yacht, Commander Crispin, proceeded to Osborne this afternoon with the Duchess of gent. Her Royal Highness arrived at this port at about a quarter to one by express train on the South-Western Railway accompanied by Sir G. Couper and Lady F. Howard. Mr. Stevens conducted the train into the Clarence-yard, where Sir C. O g l e , Si r E . Parry, Captain Campbell (62d), Major Harvey, aide-de camp, Flag-Lieutenant Cochran, Commander Cris pin, and Major Trevelyan, commanding a guard of honour of the 60th Rises, were in waiting to receive her Royal Highness. The usual salutes and ceremo nies were observed. The Fox, 42, Commodore Sir H. M. Blackwood, was, we are informed by a private letter, at Trinco malee on the 11th o f September. Sheleft Madras on the 19th of August. She would stay at Trinco malee until about the 20th of September, and then start for Bombay. The statement mentioned by a " Constant Reader" was copied from a China paper. Heavy gales have been blowing on this coast the last three days from the W.S.W. It changed this morning to N.IV., very rough and squally, so much so as to have prevented the 76th regiment from em barking in the Bellerophon at Spithead. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 6.—Her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, Captain Charles H. Freemantle, from the Medi terranean, is hourly expected at this port. The abandoned barque, Lady Kennaway, was on Thursday evening towed by her Majesty's steam tug Confiance,—Jago, master, from thelAdmiralty wa t ers in Ilamoaze to the merchant vessels' tier off Turn chapel, Catwater, where she remains under custody of shipkeepers appointed by the Admiralty and the salvors, and of officers from the Custom-house. On Friday Mr. AV. B. Cuming, Lloyd's surveyor, and Mr. Eastlake, the Crown solicitor, made an official inspection an d exam i na ti on of the ship and cargo. She was pumped on her arrival in the Sound on Thursday, and 22 hours after but 12 inches of water were in her. When the barque was boarded in the Bay of Biscay by the Danes it was discovered that the tarpaulins of the main hatchway had been cut, the hatches forcibly broken open, and a portion of the cargo removed by a tackle which was found suspended from her mainyard. On the removal of the temporary hatchway the surveyor, among other goods, found several cases of plate glass apparently of German manufacture, one of which had been broken open and discarded by her first visitors. The cargo in the after hold consists of cotton, rice, coffee, pepper, and senna, but a great space is left vacant from the main bulk to the after 'twist decks, where the cargo, ship's stores, and sails are all in confusion. In the fore peak there is a strong smell of camphor ; the bulkheads are per feet. On deck nearly all the cuddy berths, state rooms, cabins, and the pantry are broken down, probably for more easy access to the cabin freight, which has been carried off entirely. From the dis turbed state of the forecastle, where the men's chests and bedding are in confusion, the crew appear to have abandoned the ship in great haste. The hatches are now under seal of the Admiralty, who hold present possession of the ship and cargo. The two Danish captains, their ships, and crews, 24 in all, are here ; through their consul, M. T. W. Box, jun., they have affixed to the ship's mainmast a formal claim of 105,0001. (half the estimated value of the cargo) for their salvage ; and on the part of Mr. Vynyard, midshipman, and the crew of her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, a similar legal process has been followed for 35,0001. Mr. Richard Stibbs, her pilot, has not yet advanced his demand. The settlement by deferred legal proceedings in the Admiralty Court of the claims of all the salvors upon the owners of the barque, the consignees of her cargo, and the insurance underwriters, will involve serious expense and great loss of time, and probable diminu tion in. the value of the cotton, rice, and other perish able goods unless opened and fully examined. It is to be regretted that there is no legalized competent marine board of award for the immediate settlement of such claims. It appears that Mr. Avery, the cap tain, and the greater portion of the crew of the Lady Kennaway, were taken by a passing vessel to Lisbon, whence about eight have returned to England. The rest of the crew were landed at Cork, with Mr. Walshe, chief officer, who is said to be now in London. —Times. PORTSMOUTH WEDNESDAY.—The remains of th e late superintendent of this dockyard, Rear-Admiral Shirreff, were interred this afternoon within the chapel of this garrison, on the Grand I'arade. The procession began to move from the late admiral's house at a quarter to one o'clock, in the following order : Town-Major White, mounted; a brigade of gips, headed by the Adjutant of the Royal Marine Artil lery corps (Lieutenant Lawrence), mounted ; the 524 Regiment of Light Infantry, with arms reversed, with band ; the Royal Marine corps, with arms re versed, 'and band ; mutes on each side ; Rev. Dr. Morgan, chaplain of the dockyard; Rev. Professor Main, of the Royal Naval College; Rev. T. Milner, garrison chaplain ; chaplains of the navy ; the sur geon and physician ; the body, drawn on a gun carriage by eight petty-officers and seamen ; the coxswain of the deceased riding in front of the limber, the pall borne by four general and four flag officers, bearing the sword, hat, gloves, and epaulettes of the deceased ; friends, chief mourners, and flag-lieutenant of the deceased ; servants of the deceased ; the officers of the Excellent according to their rank, civil officers of the dockyard, the Royal Hospital at Hasler, Royal Clarence-yard, Ordnance, and other military departments four abreast ; the Deputy -Judge Advocate of the fleet ; band of the 60th Rifles ; seamen and marines of the fleet ; petty officers ; second masters, midshipmen, and ensigns, four abreast ; mates, assistant-surgeons and lieutenants of the army, four abreast; master's lieutenants in the navy, surgeons, paymasters, and pursers, with captains of the army ; commanders, deputy medical inspectors of hospitals and majors of the army; junior captains, medical inspectors, and lieutenant-colonels ; senior captains and colonels of the army; Rear-Admirals and Major-Generals; Vice-Admirals and Lieutenant- Generals. Staff— Flag-Lieutenant Cochran (to Sir C. Ogle); Major Harvey, Aide-de-Camp to Lord Fitzclarence ; Mr. R. Haig, Secretary to Sir C. Ogle; the Commander-in- Chief, Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Bart., and General L or d F. Fitzclaren ce , Lieutenant-Governor of the garrison ; carriages of the friends of the deceased, and all such as felt disposed to pay a similar tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. The mayor and town clerk, with the borough police, under Captain Elliot, brought up the rear. On arriving on the parade the troops turned out, I and formed two lines for the body and mourners to pass through, presenting and reversing arms as the corpse was borne along. The funeral sermon was preached by the garrison chaplain, and occupied about half an hour, at the expiration of which time the brigade of the Royal Marine Artillery fired three times eleven guns. As the procession moved along the Common Hard, the Blenheim steam guard-ship, carrying the flag of the deceased (blue at the mizen) fired eleven minute-guns; and when the body reached the guardhouse on the Parade, the platform-battery also fired 11 minute-guns ; and during that time the garrison jack on the King's Bastion was lowered half staff. The flag of the deceased will be struck on board the Blenheim at sunset. The ramparts of the garrison and all the streets along which the mournful cavalcade passed, were densely crowded with the inhabitants. There must have been 10,000 spectators of the ceremony. The following gentlemen (acting lieutenants, mates, and midshipmen), having previously gone through their examination on board the Excellent, passed for lieutenants this day :—Messrs. Bridge, who, as acting lieutenant in command, recently brought home the Hermes steam-sloop from the West India station ; Mr. Loch, also acting lieutenant ; Mr. Murray, who was wounded in New Zealand, and who will shortly be promoted for his gallantry and proficiency ; Messrs. Jones and ,Harris, midshipmen of the Ex cellent ; Home, late of the Hermes ; Chapman, late of the America; and Moore. We regret we are not furnished with the full names of these gallant officers, but we trust we shall know them on promotion. The Excellent is very fast filling up her comple ment of men—she is only about twenty short. She has a model ship's company, all being serviceable A.B.'s or petty officers, and men of very good cha racter. Captain Chads is named as the probable re cipient of the good service pension of 1501. per annum, which fell into the First Lord's gift on the promotion of Captain William Fisher to the rank of Rear-Admiral. The Rhadamanthus and Echo steamers embarked the baggage of the 76th Regiment, and put it on board the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, together with the remainder of the Regiment, for Corfu. The Aid, navy lighter, sailed to-day with stores, for the eastward. Wind, W.N.W., moderate breezes ; weather very fine, but cold-5 P.M., Wednesday. WOOLWICH, DEC. B.—The Myrtle steam-vessel, Second-Master Ballister commanding, is ordered to be paid off here, and the officers and crew will pro ceed to Portsmouth. The Janus steam-vessel was tried yesterday at the dynamometer, to ascertain the working-horse power of her engines ; but the wind was blowing a gale at the time, in the same direction as the power of the engines (two of 110 horse-power each) were applied, and consequently the trial was not considered final. She is to be tried again to-day. The Kite steam-vessel is expected to proceed to Bermuda, to be stationed at that island, an increase in the number of convicts being about to be sent to that healthy climate. The Princess Alice, Dover packet, Lieutenant- Commander Scriven, arrived on Tuesday afternoosi, and was taken into the basin to-day to have her defects made good. The Acheron steam-vessel, Captain Stokes, was taken out of the basin to-day, and will be ready in a few days to proceed to New Zealand. The Porcupine steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Smyth, was taken out of the basin to-day, and will leave in a few days for the Mediterranean. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, has obtained her full complement of seamen, a number of fine men having joined from Plymouth, and only wants a sailmaker, ropemaker, carpenter's mate, caulker, blacksmith, cooper, and armourer, to be complete. The work men o f the dockyard are employed upon the vessel from daylight until half-past nine o'clock, P.M., to get her ready with the least possible delay. She is to call at Lisbon with dispatches on her way to the Mediter ranean station. The Niger steam-vessel is in dock to have her screw propeller fitted. In the new list of armaments for steam-vessels the following note is appended consequence of the extreme rake of the bow and stern of the Terrible, 56-pounders of 97 cwt. and 11 feet long have been substituted for 68-pounders; but if the 90 cwt. 68- pounders can be made effective in the forecastle and quarter deck they are to be substituted for 56- pounders of 97 cwt. The maindeck has now four 68-pounders of 95 cwt., on pivot slides and carriages, four 8-inch guns of 65 cwt., 9 feet long, on common carriages. On the upper deck, four 56-pounders, of 97 cwt., 11 feet long, on pivot, slides, and carriages; and four 10-inch guns of 86 cwt., 9 feet 4 inches long, side guns, on slides and carriages. The armament of the Penelope steam-frigate is ordered to be changed, when next fitted, to eight 8- inch guns, 0f65 cwt., 9 feet long, two 68-pounder carronedes, of 36 cwt., 5 feet 4 inches long, on the main -deck, the guns on slides and carriages, and the carronades on Ilardy's compressor carriages ; two 68- pounders, 95 cwt., 10 feet long, and four 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., 9 feet long, on pivot slides and carriages.

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— Yester day afternoon, as the Leeds train, which left that ter minus at a quarter past one o'clock, was approaching Rugby, and within four miles of that station, an um brella behind the private carriage of Earl Zetland took fire, in consequence of a spark from the engine falling on it, and presently the imperial on the roof and the upper part of the carriage were in a blaze. Seated within it were the Countess Zetland and her maid. The train was proceeding at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Under these circumstances , her Ladyship and maid descended from the carriage to the truck, wh en, d esp i te the caution to hold on given by a gentleman f rom a window of one of the railway carriages, the maid threw herself headlong on the rail, and was speedily lost sight of. On the arrival of the train at Rugby an engine was dispatched along the line, when the youn,aEnmuuiswgltybooynmq found severely injured, and taken to the Infirmary at physicianu where ar e. was Leicester.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, HALF-TAST FOUR, Pad.— trdan Oriental transferred r The wind abated in the course of the evening, but we have had heavy rain accompanied by snow and hail, and at the time I write the atmosphere is gloomy, and there is a probability of the weather remaining for some time unsettled. This morning it was stated that the brig ashore at Rhyl was the Fairy, and not the Mary. She brings a cargo of timber from St. John's, Newfoundland. Crew saved. A large vessel, dismasted off Puffin Island, inward bound, is in tow by a steamer. The Amelia, from the Bay of Fundy, struck on Puffin Island yesterday, and afterwards went on to the main, where she remains, and is likely to become a complete wreck. She has lost her rudder and keel, and is full of water. The Margaret Ann, from Liverpool for Newfoundland, has put into Holyhead, with loss of boats, bulwarks, and sails. She shipped a sea, which filled her cabins an d d amage d h er cargo. The barque Felix has parted her stern moorings, and her stern has been carried away. The gale continued at Holyhead, and last night dui barometer was still lower, standing at 29•10. The letters received by the underwriters, and pub lished in a third edition of the Liverpool Courier of this day, confirm the account of the total wreck of the Frankfield. The fragments of the wreck were being washed on shore on the beach. Seven of the crow only were saved. There are several rumours to-day respecting other vessels, amongst them a report that the Hibernia, Halifax steamer, which sailed on Saturday, has put into Cork harbour. Ido not, however, vouch for the truth of this statement, though, from the severity of the storm, it is probable enough. There is a disinclination to dispatch vessels whilst the weather remains so unsettled, and several ships ready for sea are consequently detained in port. THE GALE IN SCOTLAND. The west coast has been agaia visited by a severe storm. During the middle of last week the wind blew heavily from the west, and drove the homeward-bound vessels at a bounding speed. Of course, outward-bound craft may as well have attempted to climb Goatfell as stand out to sea. The wind changed on Thursday to S.W., and on the following day to W.N.W. During the prevalence of the storm rain fell very heavily at intervals —particularly on Sunday. Black heavy belts of cloud came rolling over the bills of Kyle and Carrick, and, spreading over the horizon, threw at noonday the dark ness of night. To add to the solemn and murky cha racter of the day, volume upon volume of sleet sped across the couatry before the fury of the tempest. The wind is to-day blowing heavily N.N.W., and frequeat gleams of sunshine lighten up the otherwise severe and cheerless aspect of the season. We have not, as yet, occasion to report losses by sea of any great consequence. On Sunday afternoon, how ever, as the smack Success, of Saltcoats, Duncan Carr, master, in ballast from Campbeltown, was entering the harbour, the wind blowing roughly, she struck the west end of the breakwater, and soon filled. She shortly afterwards fell over on her broadside, leaving her crew, three in number, to the mercy of a heavy and broken sea. Preparations were made on shore for the rescue of the crew, but they succeeded in getting into their small boat. They were driven some distance along the north coast ; but at last succeeded in effecting a landing near the Bell-rock Quarry, The vessel has become a total wreck. She was the property of the master, who is not insured, and has besides lost several pounds in money, which could not be recovered when the smack capsized. Lamlash, Campbeltown, and Cairnryan are crowded with wind-bound coasters. There are about 30 sail in the Cairn.—Ayr Observer. I' SERIOUS ROBBERY OF NOTES.—A woman, named Mary Ann Vine, was.brought up at the Borough Court, on Friday last, on sus pi c i on o f b e i ng concerned in a robbery of notes, to the amount of 2501., from Mr. William Frankland, of Whalley, near Clitheroe ; the robbery was committed on the night of the 23d ult., near the Town Hall.—Mr. Superintendent Beswick ap plied for a remand, stating that the loss had had so. serious an effect upon Mr. Frankland that, after giving information, he had wandered away no one k new whither ; and it was only within a day or two it had been ascertained that he was in Leeds. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. It appears that an examina tion into this robbery has also been made at Liverpool, arising out of the following circumstances :—On Satur day, a man named George Poole, who is well known to the police here, was charged b e f ore M r. Rushton with having assaulted Patr ick Murphy ; th e assault being stated to have arisen out of an altercation be tween the two men a few days previously. A policeman stated that he knew Murphy to be one of the swell mob, and most probably his companions at the time the assault was alleged to hare been committed were of the same class. In attempting to defend himself, Poole made a statement as to his having come from Manchester with 2001. about him, which he was di viding, and that after he had given Murphy 701., and another man a share, he himself was " done" out of w hat was due to him; from this, he said, arose the asault. As Murphy, on hearing this disclosure, was about to leave the court, without caring to wait for the magistrate's decision as to the assault, he was imme diately taken into custody. No evidence, however, being able to be obtained which could imme diately connect the prisoners with the robbery, they were discharged. Strong suspicion attaches to Poole as being the actual thief; and it would appear that he has been, in his turn, robbed by his associates. But as, unfortunately, the numbers of the notes are not known, and from the complicated aspect of the whole affair, we fear it will be a very difficult matter to bring the guilty person or persons to justice.—Manchester Guardian. ARMY, ORDNANCE, AND MAR.INRS.—SouIe interest ing returns connected with the army, ordnance, and marines, are contained in a Parliamentary document issued yesterday. It seems that the number of re cruits attested for the regular army, from the Ist Apri1,13052 ' . whilst, lB4s,tofromthe the 3 Ist of 31st of March, 1846 , was April, 1846, t o t h e 31st of March last, the number was 21,468. Of non commissioned officers 3,626 died in the year ending the Ist of April, 1846, under ten years' service, and 1,350 died in the same period after above ten years' service. The number of men who deserted in the year was 2,665. In the cavalry there are 113 men (sergeants, trumpeters, drummers, corporal, and privates) who have served above twenty-lour years; and in the in fantry there are 2,870 who have served above 22 years. In the marines the number of recruits attested between the Ist of April, 1845, and the 31st of M. ndha,lBt4he6, was 1,127; and between the Ist of April, 1846, 31st of March last, 964. The recruits for the ordnance u in the first year numbered 1,113, and in th e secsto of Mr d ce. _ _d 2,832. The desertions in the year ending t he 31 o a last numbered 137, of which 28 rejoined the VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST A FA THER FOR ROASTING HIS CHILI) ALIVE.—At eleven o'clock on Friday the jury sworn to investigate the facts of the unnatural outrage perpetrated at Kappagh, west of the town of Bandon, re-assembled at the court-house, Franklin Baldwin, Esq., coroner, presiding.

THE TRAMPS.—Tramps have, when sent to prison, frequently escaped punishment from having bad feet and not being fit to tread the wheel. In some houses of correction a new plan has been, adopted, that of having producing mills set up in separate apartments, at which those descriptions of tramps are placed to work. In some towns, too, parties have provided themselves with proper sticks, and, when tramps commit depredations at win dows or in shops, they administer to them a smart cas tigation, This plan has been adopted successfully in , some places.
