Ie was not afloat from 1808 to 1821, when he was appointed to the command of the Genoa, 74, at Lisbon. Sir Thomas was a deputy lieu tenant for the county of Linlithgow and of the Castle of Blackness. He married in 1809, Janet, daughter of Sir James Stirling, Bart., who died in 1831.

Price, to the white, vice Rear Admiral Sotheby, to the red. A captain's good service pension is relinquished by the promotion of Rear Admiral Rich ; and the appointment of, Captain Superintendent of the Royal Hospital and victualling establishments at Plymouth becomes vacant. Sir John Hindmarsh (1831), becomes one of the senior captains, and Captain W. Warren (1841) comes on the 12s. 6d. half-pay list. The successor to Rear Admiral Rich, by a new-order in Council, will not be allowed to count•his time served at the hospital and victualling yard• for his active flag rank. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 5. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin; C. 8., got up steam again to-day in the basin in order to give her engines another trial, and kept them working the whole of the day. The result was - very satisfactory in every respect. The Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., rehoisted her ensign again this morning, and re ceived such of her crew as were passed as convalescent out of Haslar Hospital. Fifty more of her crew were sent to hospital from the Camperdown hulk this after noon. The Persian, 12, Commander T. Mitchell, sailed from Spithead last night for Sheerness to be paid off. The Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. George Allen, Acting Master RN., commanding, embarked a party of Go vernment officials this morning, and proceeded with them to inspect the fortifications commanding Stokes' Bay and the Needles passage. The Fire Queen steam despatch yacht, Master Com manding J. Paul, has been refitted and re-embellished, and will quit the dock on Thursday, when the Conflict, 8, screw-sloop, will take the vacated space to complete her refit. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 4. A court-martial assembled on board the Impregnable this morning, composed of Commodore Seymour (pre sident), Captains Mitchell, Lord E. Russell, Nias, Dacres, Lowe, Hutton, Freemantle, Goldsmith, Cham bers, Glasse, ,and Buckle, to try a seaman of the Hogue, 60, screw guard-ship, Captain Ramsey, named Jewell, for deserting the ship. The seaman, who is quite a youth, having been lately rated, pleaded guilty, stating that his only wish was for a sea-going ship, and as a proof he had joined the London for that purpose ; his former character being very good, the court sentenced him to three months in the county gaol. Court martinis are very prevalent. There will be another here on Wednesday next. CHATHAM, APRIL 4. Commander Warren took up hia commission for the Star, 8-gun brig, this afternoon, and immediately hoisted the pendant. The undeimentioned shipwrights, &c., bave been su perannuated :—James Bennett, leading man, 341. per annum ; Thomas Foster, John Ethell, and George Hammond, shipwrights, 241. each per annum ; Samuel Hodges, labourer, 151. per annum. WOOLWICH, APRIL 5. PROMOTION. Mate—William C. F. Wilson (1852), serving in the Winchester, 50, flag-ship of Rear Admiral Sir Fleetwood R. R. Pellew, C. 8., on the East Indies station, is pro moted to the rank of lieutenant. The Fearless, steam-vessel, in charge of Captain Bul lock, recently employed in her on the surveying service, is to be delivered over to the authorities at Sheerness. The services of Captain Bullock, and the other officers of that rank engaged in surveying duties on the home sta tions have been dispensed with, which will effect a sav ing of 1,400/. per annum. It is expected that the highest rank of naval officers employed on the surveying service on the home stations in future will be commanders, as there are numbers of that rank in every way qualified for surveying the coasts and rivers of th , s country. It is not intended to appoint a successor to the late Captain Edward Johnson, of the compass department, as that duty will be performed by any of the masters sta tioned at Woolwich, who will be allowed a certain sum for each vessel whose compasses has to be adjusted at, Greenhithe. This arrangement will save an annual sa lary of 3001., and a house rent equivalent to 1001. per annum, that sum being allowed to Dr. Burns, the medi cal officer of the convicts at the Royal Arsenal and Dockyard, Woolwich, he having applied for permission to occupy the house allowed to the late Captain Johnson, instead of the 1001. he now receives to pay the rent of the house he now occupies in Woolwich. FLOGGING AND DESERTIONS IN THE NAVY. Mr. Williams, the member for Lambeth, gave notice on Monday night in the House of Commons of his in tention to put some questions to the First Lord of the Admiralty relative to the flogging of Stapleton, the boatswain's mate of the Vulture, and the desertions of men from the Royal navy, said to be in consequence of this disgraceful and barbarous punishment inflicted on the boatswain's mate. As the strictures on the severe sentence on the boat swain'ii mate, and the statements as to the desertions, which have attracted so much attention, originated in the Morning Herald, we deem it necessary to make a few remarks on the subject, previously to any explana tion which may be offered by the First Lord of the Admiralty. - . _ We trust that Sir James Graham will meet the ques tions of the hon. member for Lambeth candidly and fairly, without any equivocation, evasion, or mental re servation. The right hon. baronet may attempt—we hope he will not do so—to defend the sentence of the infliction of corporal punishment on a petty officer, who had served a great many years with credit and distinc tion, on the ground that his.offence was one most sub versive of discipline on the part of an officer to whom was confided the great responsibility of maintaining order, and of punishing disorder, and that it was impe rative on the Admiralty to punish corporally the boats wain's mate for the sake of example. But we trust Sir James will be reminded of the fact, that the man was not habitually a drunkard, but that having committed one offence by becoming intoxicated, and the officer of the watch having been made acquainted with that circum stance, as he must have been when he ordered him in charge of the sentry for contempt, the officer of the watch was answerable for the subsequentgrave offence of striking the sentry, inasmuch as he neglected to comply with the na val instructions, and did not immediately place the drunken man in irons ; had he done so, there is no doubt that there would have been no court-martial, a good man's skin would have been saved the torture of the lash, and the whole body of petty officers of the eavy—the best and finest men in the whole world—would not have been disgusted and shamed by the disgrace inflicted upon one of their class. Again, Sir James must be reminded that it Vi oul d surely have been punishment enough to, have degraded the man by disrating him, and by de priving him of his claims for a pension, for the commis sion of an offence so grave as that with which he was' charged ; and the Admiralty must be impressed with the fact that the public look upon flogging a free-born, intel ligent Englishman in a different light altogether from that in which it is viewed by their naval lordships. The British public regard the infliction of a certain number. of lashes with a cat-o'nine-tails on tho • exposed naked back of a British subject—a fellow-citizen—perhaps a voter for a member of Parliament, or the father, son, or brother of a voter, as one of the most beastly, most dis gusting, most disgraceful punishments, for which no after compensation in any shape can atone. The free man who has been flogged like a dog is i degraded. pitiable outcast of society, and in the estimation of men of right feeling, ruin, starvation, nay, death, is preferable to the debasing exposure of a man's naked skin, to be cut through and stripped off his back by whip-cord. But we believe that there are noble, high-minded, inde pendent men in the House of Commons, possessed of sufficient moral courage and humanity to tell the Admi ralty that British sailors—honest, free, open-hearted, hard-working Englishmen, who have borne a " very good" character for 17 years—shall not -be treated worse than American sailors—shall not be reduced to the level of the poor black slaves of Cuba, Brazils, and America, and flogged within an inch of their lives—shall dare the British Admiralty, indeed, to inflict any such punish ment in future on an honest Englishman. So much for the flogging. Now for the desertions. Sir James Graham may, and perhaps will, point to the Police Gazette, and show, that insteal of 100 seamen having deserted last week from our men of war, the flue and Cry contains official de scriptions of only some len or twelve; but the facts, if they are worth procuring, may be got at by Sir James Graham informing the House of Commons how many men were reported as " absent without leave "at Devon port, on Tuesday last, th e 29 t h of March, 1853. It is only fair to state that our Devonport correspon- A in t,, dating from that part yesterday, says—" A great ni nny a those reported absent have returned ; but still the repeated desertions of petty officers, since Stapleton, the boatswain's mate, was flogged, have been unprece dented ; and now there is not a ship in Plymouth Sound that has her full complement of petty officers and Sea men." And, moreo ver, as a proof of the feeling of th e petty officers against the service on account of Staple ton's punishment, we may state that no less than 40 men have not returned to the best and most comfortable ship in the navy, the Prince Regent, although term of leave has expired some weeks since, and the ship is now in Plymouth Sound still short of hands. It is useless to disguise the facts ; the men are running from the service in all directions, else why keep an armed steamer and armed boat's crew at Gravesend to board the merchant ships in order to search for and to apprehend_ deserters ? And run away they will, at all risks, and refuse all offers to enter her Majesty's ships, where they are liable, after good-conduct service for 17 years, to be flogged like Stapleton, the boatswain's mate.—Morning Herald. r - THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAYAF,VENING, APRIL 6, 1853. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—RUFFIANLY ASSAULTS ON LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Patrick Macarthy, was charged before Mr. Henry with assaulting the landlord of the Fountain public-house, King-street, Drury-lane. On the previous night the prisoner was in the skittle-ground, attached to the above house, creating a great disturbance with another man, and, on the landlord ejecting him from the house, the prisoner struck and kicked him several times. A constable at that moment happened to pass the house, and the pri soner was given into his custody. Police constable 131 F proved taking the prisoner into custody, and on the way to the station the prisoner seized him by the neck and nearly throttled him ; he also struck him twice. The prisoner said the landlord struck him first, and he struck him again in self defence. He denied assaulting the constable. Mr. Henry fined the prisoner 5/. for the assault on the landlord, or two months to the House of C orr ection, and committed him for thre e wee k s , w ith ou t fine, for the as sault on the constable. James Sullivan was charged with assaulting Mr. Bailey, landlord of the Bl ac k Horse, Clements-lane. It ap peared, from the evidence of Mr. Bailey, that, on the previous evening, the prisoner entered his tap-room, and placed himself in front of the fire, with the skirts of his coat so spread out that the other customers in the room could not see it. . On being remonstrated with by one of the customers, the prisoner assailed him with such a volley of foul abuse that he was obliged to call Mr. Bailey to put him out, and in doing so the prisoner threw him self' down on his back, and while he (Mr. Bailey) was try ing to lift him up, the prisoner kicked him with great force on the most tender part of his person. Some of the cus tomers came to his assistance, and the prisoner was given in charge. Mr. Bailey was so severely hurt, and in such pain, that he could hardly walk, and he was fearful he was injured for life. Mr. Henry said prisoner had committed a most cowardly assault, and he should remand him for a week. ANOTHER ASSAULT.—James I;lloniNcasatarged. with assaulting a man named Dowling, in Lincoln Court, Drury lane. The charge having been proved, the prisoner was fined 5/., and in default, committed to the House of Correction for two months. DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS. On Monday, Mr. Simpson, the well-known proprietor of Cremorne Gardens waited upon Mr. Arnold, at th e West minster Police Court, to solicit his advice respecting the following disgraceful proceeding : Applicant having handed in a large posting bill, headed " 'Cremorne, V.R.," and which went on to state that a grand fancy fair would be held on a spacious piece of ground adjoining Cremorne Gardens, —the type of the words, " will be held on a spacious piece of ground adjoining," being so arranged, and of such a small character, as to escape the first glance, stated that he had with reference to this and its subse quent gathering of an immense assemblage of the very refuse of society, to complain not only of a most serious disgraceful nuisance, but of a gross deception practised upon the public, calculated to do him a serious injury, and a great personal indignity inflicted upon himself. A person, with whose name he had upon inquiry become acquainted, had taken a piece of ground immediately adjoining Cremorne Gardens, and had there unlawfully set up ,a fair of the very lowest description • and in order to render the thing attractive, and impart it a stamp of respectability, the proprietor of the scheme had most dis gracefully adopted, not only the style of heading exhibited in his announcements, but had used the name of his pro perty in a most objectionable way. Apart from this, it was a most serious nuisance, as it might be termed, a t his very. door, and frequenters of his establishment would have to wade their way through a mass of persons from the pur lieus of the very lowest neighbourhoods. Mr. Arnold inquired when the fair commenced ? Mr. Simpson replied that it was announced for that day . (Monday), but in effect, might fairly be said to have com menced on Sunday, when there were stalls, swings, races, shooting, singing, and the most disgraceful scene being enacted all the afternooon and evening, by an assemblage composed, as it might well be supposed, of the very dregs of society. Individually, he (Mr. Simpson) felt that a great indignity and disgrace had been put upon him by the name of his establishment being associated with such a disgraceful proceeding, and would feel obliged by any ad vice or interference the magistrate could suggest. Mr. Arnold observed that, as regarded Mr. Simpson's individual complaint of using the name of his establish ment, he could not make the offenders amenable before a magistrate. Mr. Simpson's remedy must be by injunction in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Simpson called upon a sergeant of the V division of police, who was present on other business, who confirmed his account of the disgraceful scene going on. Mr. Arnold, having looked attentively through the Act of Parliament for the suppression of unlawful fairs, found that, while some absurd forms were bein g gone through, an affair of this description might be carried on for some days ' to the prejudice of every respectable neighbourh oo d, with impunity. Mr. Simpson remarked that he had been in communica tion with the Commissioners of Police and the parish au thorities. The former, it seemed, had no power to put a stop to the fair. Mr. Simonds, an inspector of the B division, said that there had been two others in the district some time ago, but that the police could do nothing with them. Mr. Arnold observed that there was no doubt that the party was indictable at common law for a nuisance, and from what he had heard, he was of opinion that this must be a very grievous case. Mr. Sinipson remarked that the parish authorities were of that opinion, and he should see them again upon the subject. Such an indignity as he personally complained of could only have emanated from a most dishonourable per son, and he (Mr. Simpson) would do his best to disabuse the public mind. THE LOSS OF THE DUKE OP SUTHERLAND STEAMER. ABERDEEN, MONDAY. It now appears that the precise number of lives lost in consequence of the wreck of this steamer is sixteen, the total number on board having been 54 or 55. The following is a list of the DRoWNED—Edward Howling, master; Miss Bremner, belonging to Aberdeen ; Miss Lawrence, ditto ; George Bruce, the carpenter ; a female servant fC. S. Jervoise, name unknown ; Henry Sivier, coachman to Mr. Jer voise ; Margaret Paul, stewardess ; Geo. Nelson, a sea man on board ; a seaman from London, a passenger, name unknown, but believed to be Johnson or Johnston; Mr. Burness (not Burnett), a passenger ; Peter Ligert wood, second mate ; John Fyfe, chief engineer, Total loss from steamer, 12. Robertson, Jas. M'lntosh, Christie, Reid, seamen lost from coble. Up to this time 12 of the bodies have been found, being the whole except those of the second mate, en gineer, and Christie and Reid, the seamen. Captain Howling, Bruce the carpenter, Ligertwood, Fyfe the engineer, Nelson, and Sivier leave widows and families —those of the two last being resident in London. The case of Miss .Bremner is a peculiarly affecting one. She was just about to be married, and was engulphed under the very eyes of the young gentleman to whom she was en gaged'. The engineer perished in the attempt to save the stewardess. Captain J. N. Strange, of H.M.S. Archer, now in this harbour, rendered efficient assistance in directing the operations on shore. _ Eighteen were saved by the rope between the pier and the vessel, all of them, including five of Mr. Jervoise's servants, owing their preservation to the exertions of the steward. The value of the cargo appears now to'be from 8,0001. to 10,0061., and that of the vessel about 18,0001. She was built in 1847, and cost about 28,0001. The vessel was insured for 12,000/:, but the cargo was not insured, the parties to whom it was consigned being the sufferers. It consisted of spring haberdashery goods, periodicals, &c. All that now remains of the vessel is the engines and paddle-boxes, with a small part of the ship in the vici nity ; the engines probably will be recovered. A consi derable part of the cargo has been cast ashore. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) The official report says—Last week the deaths from all causes registered in London amounted to 1,748. An increase so formidable on the already high mortality of previous weeks arises in part from the same causes that have•lately prevailed with unusual force, and is also due, to some extent, to the influx into the register books of cases on which coroners had held inquests, and which have been permitted to accumulate during the quarter. The signature' of that officer is necessary to complete the registration : of deaths returned by him. _ _ Last week the births of 1,005 boys and 904 girls, in all 1,909 children, were registered in. London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1,411. At - the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29,723 in. ; on Monday the mean daily reading was above 30 in. The mean temperature of the week was 43 . 4 deg., which is near the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on the first three days, and above it during the rest of the week. The mean dew-point temperature was 32 . 8 deg. The wind, which had been in the north in the early part of the week, blew from the south-west in the last four days. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

The oscillation was from north-east to south-west, and was attended by a subterraneons noise which was like that of an artillery waggon rolling quickly over a newly Macadamised_ road. The shock was very sensibly felt nd by vessejs_utlot EpgyishLohailnei. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING—To-MORROW.

Although the weather was very unfavourable, the first of the spring Steeplechase at La Marche, near Ville d'Avray, which came off on Sunday, attracted a very considerable number of all classes of society, and espe cially of the higher. The gathering of carriages and horsemen, indeed, was, on the whole, much larger than we remember to have seen it on any occasion last year. From this, it is reasonable to assume that steeplechasing is gradually gaining ground in France, and will soon become, as horse-racing now is, one of the national amusements. Mr. Mackenzie Grieves not only laid out the ground, but kindly superintended the day's proceed ings. and acted as judge._ The Emperor and Empress arrived in a carriage and four, preceded by outriders, just as the business was about to commence and remained to the close. Their Majesties were accompanied by Prince Murat and one of his sons, and by some of the officers and ladies of the imperial household. They were greeted on arriving and leaving with every mark of respect. Their Majesties occupied a stand, specially prepared for them, and in it we observed the Duke of Hamilton and other personages of distinction. THE FIRST STEEPLE CHASE for 7,500 francs, added to 500 fr. entry. The second horse to receive 1,500 fr. from the entries ; the third to save his entry. Weight 1321b5. ; but the winner of a steeplechase of 2,000 fr., entries included, to carry 41bs extra ; of two or more of the same value Gibs extra ; of one of 3,500 f., entries included, 81bs ; of two or more of the same value, 101bs ; of one of 5,000 f., entries included, 121bs ; of two or more of the same value, 141bs ; of one of 6,500 f., entries included, 161bs; of two or more of the same value, 181bm ; and, finally, of one of 8,000 f., 221bs extra. With gentlemen, 41bs less. Distance 5,500 yards. Fifteen entries. Mr. Thomas's b h The Colonel, 1321bs (Boyce) 1 Mr. Megson's b h View Halloo, 1321bs (Ablett) 2 Count de Coataudon's b h Bedford, 1321bs (Connington) 3 Mr. Rackley's hr h Glenlyon, 1321bs (Rackley) 4 M. de Lamarre's b m Lady Arthur, 1541bs (Donaldson) 0 M. Ch. de la Motte's b h Franc Picard, 1401bs_ (Jackson) 0 Mr. Chapman's ch m Augustine, 1321bs (Blomfield) 0 Ditto's ch m lanthe 1321bs (Stott) 0 Vicomte de Lauriston's Augustus, 1321bs (Fender) 0 Mr. C. Higgins' b h Simple Peter, 1541bs (Darling) 0 The number of obstacles was 34 ; and amongst them were the dry ditch, the river, the garden wall, the bank, &c., which figured on previous occasions, together with English hedges, railings, &c., either quite new or placed in different positions. The starting-place, which last year was from the garden wall opposite the stands, was this time from the wall near the entrance, which afforded a nearly 'straight piece of running up to the stands. A notice was given before the bell rang for the weighing that the Emperor had been withdrawn. The betting was 3 to 1 on the Colonel. The start was- a good - one, and all kept in a cluster to near the dry ditch, when the Colonel took the lead with Franc Picard just behind. In this way they came to the river, which the Colonel cleared admirably. Franc Picard got over it second, and Lady Arthur third. Peter Simple fell after crossing it, an d h ur t hi s j oc k ey so much in the head that he was una bl e t o procee d t the jockey of Augustine also fell, but soon recovered from this mishap. The others got over safely. Mean time the Colonel went forward, with Franc Picard wait ing on him ; but just before reaching the garden wall the latter got in front. After passing the wall, however, he took a wide turn, and this enabled the Colonel to resume th e lead, whilst View Halloo who had been gradually gaining ground, took the second place, Bedford retain ing the third. At the bank at the back lanthe fell'; a little further Glenlyon overjumped himself, but soon recovered ; and near the garden the jockey of Augustine was thrown. The position of those in front remained unchanged. Although only about half the distance was now done, the race, barring accident, might be consi dered virtually at an end—the Colonel taking a long lead, View Halloo going a good deal in advance of Bed ford, and Bedford of the others. In that way the race concluded, the Colonel coming in in a trot. He was enthusiastically cheered on arriving at the winning post. SECOND STEEPLECHASE for 1,000 f., added to 100 f. entry, for horses of all kinds not having won a steeplechase, and not having been trained from the Ist January to to the 31st March. Weight 1451b5, with 51bs on horses that have never run in a public race. The se cond horse to save his entry. Gentlemen only to ride. Distance, about 1,800 yards. 5 entries. Vicomte de Lauriston's h Pandolfo, aged, 1451bs (Owner) 1 Mr. Robert's m Safety, 6 yrs, 1401bs (Sir R. (Clifton) 2 Vicomte de St. Roman's m Fiction, aged, 1451bs (Owner) 0 The obstacles in this race were nine in number, and the principal of them were the ditch, the river, and the garden-wall.—Pandulfo jumped off first, but before reaching the stands was passed by Safety. She, how ever, slightly hesitated at the brook, and after crossing it, Fiction got a little a-head. At the garden-wall Fic tion went forward, and kept in front to a fence in the straight running, when she fell. This put her out of the race, and Pandolfo shortly afterltook the first place. and maintained it to the end, winning easily. On Sunday the 17th there are to bu two other Steeple chases—one for Consolation Stakes of 1001. English, for horses that have run at La Marche, but never won— the other the Selling Stakes for 1201. added to 121. entry. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. ELECTION OF HEAD MASTER. The election of a successor to the lamented Dr. Rice took place yesterday. Upon the present occasion, the old rule of confining the choice to the persons educated on the foundation of Christ's Hospital was set aside for .the first time. At a preliminary meeting of the Court of Almoners, under the presidency of His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, the names of three gentle men were selected, among them Mr. Harper, head master of the King's school, Sherborne, who afterwards withdrew from the contest. The Court of Governors, as the superior power, met this day for the purpose of selecting from the two remaining candidates, namely, the Rev. Andrew George Jacob, Doctor of Divinity, and the Rev. Henry Newport, Master of Arts. At the hour appointed, the Counting-house, and the various thoroughfares or court-yards leading thereto, assumed a very animated appearance, the number of governors attending the election being greater than can be remembered for many years. The preliminary proceedings having been gone through, the election, which was by ballot, commenced. The abilities and high character of each of the candi dates having been dwelt upon, each of the governors re ceived two printed slips of paper, bearing the name of either gentleman, and each governor having made his selection, at three o'clock the numbers were announced as follows : Rev. Andrew G. Jacob, D.D. l4O Rev. Henry Newport, M.A. The salary attached to the office is, we believe, 800 i per annum, with a residence. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

Sir,—l have the pleasure to inform you that your medicines have been eminently successful here in the cure of various diseases, among which is that of a young woman, residing in this town, who had suffered for a considerable time from a diseased ankle, producing lameness, and" symptoms of white swelling.
