LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING PERSECUTION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS BY THE CHINESE INSU.RGENTS. The Univers publishes the following letter from M. Maresca, Apostolic Administrator of Nankin, dated Shanghai, the Bth June, of persecutions by the Chinese insurgents against the Roman Catho lic Christians : _ _ "The insurgents arrived on the Bth March before the walls of the town of Nankin, and established their camp in 28 divisions. They dug mines under the walls ana filled them with gunpowder, and on the 19th partially blew them up, together with the eastern gate. Imme diately after a signal was given, and they rushed some to the breach and others to the wall with an impetuosity which alarmed the defenders. In their first attack they made themselves masters of the town. The mandarins, who were not able to escape, were seized and put to death. On the 20th March, the insurgents spread through the town, and carried everywhere terror and death. A venerable old man, chief of the Christians, was killed in his house with his eldest son ; his second son was grievously wounded, the third was carried off captive, and the youngest ran away. On. the same day, four other Christians fell in the mg/ee. On the 21st March, the family Tseu, the wealthiest and most distinguished amongst the Christians, were driven from their house, which the insurgents required for their chiefs .; and thirty-one members of this family were confined in a neighbouring house, and were there burned to death. Two young men, belonging to the same family, aged 17 and 18, who were absent when their relatives were burned, have just arrived at Shang hai, after having begged their way—a distance of from 70 to 80 leagues. Five other members of the same family were also absent at the execution of the 31, but it is not known where they have gone, nor what has be come of them. All that belonged to the Christian com munity of Nankin, church, ornaments, money, and papers, were deposited with the family Tseu, and conse quently all are entirely lost. The same day, several persons entered the chapel of the town, where the Christians were assembled, and recited the prayers of the holy week. They forbade prayers on the knees, and wanted the Christians to recite, seated, the new prayer of Tien-Fou. The Christians replied that they were Catholics and did not know any other religion. It was notified to them that if, within three days, they did not decide on obeying, they would all be decapitated. On the 24th March, some wretches entered the chapel, and attempted to do violence to some young Christian women, but they were soon obliged to leave, and since then there have been no attacks of the kind. In the afternoon a new summons was made to adore Tien-Fou ; a new refusal was given by the Christians ;. and new me naces followed. On the 25th of March, the Christians were adoring the cross, according to the custom, on Good Friday. The insurgents entered all at once, crying and menacing ; they broke the crucifix, over threw the altar, and then wished to have their prayer recited- at the same time presenting the Christians with books in which it is written. A catechist took a re ligious book, the Explanation of the commands of God, and presented it to one of the chiefs. He hastily exa mined it, and returned it, saying, Your religion is a good one—ours is not to be compared to it ; but the new Emperor has given his orders, and you must obey them or die.' After summonses, which were repeated in vain, the soldiers seized the Christians and tied their hands behind their backs. The women and children exhorted the men to suffer with a good heart for their faith. They were bound and ill-treated in their turn. All being thus bound, the men were told that they would be conveyed before the tribunal of the Emperor to hear their sen tence ; the women and children followed them, and all went gaily. When they arrived at the tribunal they were kept for some time in outer rooms • and then some officers presented themselves and told them, on the part of the Emperor, that, as they would not obey, they were all condemned to death, and were to be executed at the Western Gate. They were sent off to the place of execu tion • but at the door of the tribunal an old man, who was unable to walk, was beheaded. The others arrived toge ther at the designated place—they were about one hun dred in number. New demands were made upon them to do as they had been desired, but they constantly re plied, We are Christians !' Many threats were made, but no one was executed. Towards the evening all were brought back to the town, and conveyed to a great store, which was formerly the church of Nan kin. They there passed the night with their hands bound —and some were attached to columns. One succeeded in unbindining himself and in escaping. The day after new threats were made, and some blows were given. On Eastern day all expected to die. Some officers en tered the place, and asked if they would recite the prayer. Some said, You should kill them all, for they will not obey !' but another answered, 'No—for in that case they would go to heaven, and would have what they desire; whilst we should be guilty of sin !' How ever all the Christians remained firm and yielded no thing. Some women especially, and even some children cried, ' Kill us all, that we may be martyrs and go to heaven !' Some of the soldiers, despairing of being able to subdue the courage of the women, and no doubt not having orders to kill them, opened the doors of the store-house, and forced them to leave with their children. They all went to the chapel, where they have since re mained with the children ; they are between 70 and 80 in number. The men remained in the store with their hands more tightly bound than on the first day. On the 28th March some young men, fatigued with suffering and dreading new torments, persuaded themselves that they might recite the famous prayer, because it contains nothing contrary to the dogmas of our holy religion. After having protested that they in tended to remain Catholics, twenty-two recited the prayer, and were immediately unbound ; but the others declared that they would die rather than recite it before they knew that it was good ; and some of them in con sequence were cruelly beaten. Since then those who wavered have felt greatly humiliated, and regret that they did not imitate the firmness of their brethren and the courage of the women and children. Whilst the women and children remained in the chapel without a single man to assist or protect them, the men were or dered to serve the insurgents either as soldiers or la bourers. Ten of them who were taken to fight against Tseu-Kiang took advantage of an obscure night to leave their ranks and run away. They have come here to re count to us what they witnessed. It was on the 14th April that they succeeded in escaping. Since their depar ture from Nankin they have heard it said that the insur gents have sent a good many women and children out of the town. The bridge of the great canal is said to have given way beneath the crowd, and more than a thousand per sons are said to have been drowned. We are not aware whether any Christians left on that occasion. We have also received news from Yang-Tcheu. On the Ist April' the rebels entered the town without meeting with any resistance. However, they committed the same horrors as at Nankin, and the Christiana were not spared. They took the officers of the chapel, bound them, and carried them off with their families. They wanted all of them to recite the prayer of Tien-Fou. Thereupon two cate chists stepped forward and clearly explained our dogmas and our usages. As a punishment for this it was ordered that three hundred blows should be given to one, and five hundred to the other. It is not yet known if they have been able to survive this cruel flagellation, and other bad treatment to which they were subjected. On the whole, out of six hundred Christians in Nankin, Yang-Tcheu, and Tseu-Kiang, fifty have been slain or burned to death, and several have been bound and beaten. Most of them have lost all they had and re main captives ; exposed to all sorts of dangers for the soul of the body." CASE OF MRS. NORTON. PROPOSED _ECCLESIASTICAL •REFORM. A committee has been formed, consisting of a large number of clergymen and influential laymen, for the purpose of bringing about extensive reforms in the Established Church of England.

Mrs. Norton had yesterloor a letter in the Times extending, with accompanying, documents, over four columns, in answer to the letterpof her husband, , , which appeared in the same journal,' few days ago, and the substance of which wa s p u ished in the The i San. Mrs. Norton thus comm ences r long epistle: — On Wednesday, the 24th ult., a lon ' letter from Mr. Norton appeared in your column s . I no t expect ever to feel thankful for anythinc, Mr. Norto would say of me ; but I do feel most deeply tankful that:he wrote and pub lished that letter. iie has now deliberitely given to the world, on his own authority an d under Lis own signature, that history which I had alway s re f ra i n ed f rom giving be yond the circle of my own friend s ; andhe has thus given me an opportunity of refuting s l an d er, of which I should sooner have availed mys lf, but that t o p so completely I have been obliged to look thr oug h a mass o f papers and correspondence, and I have been too ill since the day I had to appear in the County Court to make the requisite exertion. 4 • After refuting the charge brought t i gai travagance, and denying that h er into year, she proceeds :- - The charge I publicly bring against has brought so many against me) is a -than any injustice in pecuniary matt that twice in my life he has endeavour tence, to rob me of my reputatio n . . In 1836 I had a quarrel with my hu and. Our cause of quarrel was whether I should, or sh ld not, take my children to the house of my brother, o would not re ceive my husband. I persisted. M husband baffled me by sending my children to the worn‘b•who has since left him her property, who threatened to give me into the hands of the police When"' went to fiaim them, and I left town alone for my brother:a country seat. Such being oux real quarrel; 1' charge 1b,.,t0n with con- I triving that the whole world should bel (as they did believe)that my misconduct had broken up our home, than I was an unfaithful wife, and that my lover was omLnoerd triallbouMelbourne. eMelbourne..beToh of the tli [ et e brought nleoswseesstfoar an and dhamt aoacsettti action against degradedwere provedLo r class.d The chief witness was a drunken discarded groom, who was then a ragseller in Monmouth-street ; both he and others were proved to have been sent down to Lord Grantley's place, and to have received a weekly stipend from his agent while there. The trial was brought in 1836: nevertheless no evidence was offered after the year 1833 ; the servants living with us after that time were not called ; nothing was heard but the witnessing of the ragseller and his companions, who admitted in court that they had received money. In spite of all which strange advantages, and the fact that a woman is not allowed to defend herself in these actions, the ver dict went against Mr. Norton. In this present year 1853 I have a quarrel with my husband. Our quarrel is whether I shall, or shall not, be compelled to cede a portion of my mother's bequest. I refuse ; Mr. Norton insists. I rashly count on being certain to obtain a compulsory fulfilment of our agree ment, which I imagined to be binding, I find myself, on my return to England, without funds to meet my English creditors. I stop one action against my hus band at my own expense. I write to Mr. Norton's own solicitor, in the forlorn hope that Mr. Norton is acting against advice. I come into court against my will, upon subpcena, compelled to appear to prove the debt and agreement. Mr. Norton meets me there, in person and by counsel, once more to fight his battle against me with cruel treachery, once more to raise the ghost of that departed slander, and to contrive that the whole world shall believe (as they do believe) that Lord Mel bourne was again the subject of our quarrel ; that some pledge, stipulation, or promise was made and broken by me, and that that is Mr. Norton's excuse for his breach of covenant. I rebut that imputation on oath and by proved facts ; and Mr. Norton publishes in the Times newspaper two columns of abuse of the dead and living, including coarse anecdotes of the mother of his grown up sons, which, even if true (which they are not), he himself dates back to the time when we had an " only child"—that is, 20 years ago. Shall the verdict not once more be against him. I was young when this slander was first raised ; my children were infants. I was one of a numerous and affectionate family • I had kind friends and a good cause. I struggled like a drowning person against disgrace, and reached the shore. Already these miserable affairs were half-forgotten by the world ; and in literary occupation, devotion to my sons, and the firm friendship of those who knew my real story, I thought to have spent the future of a stormy past. Mr. Norton has not permitted this. Once more he has dragged me into shameful pub licity ; but on his own letter I will rest any justification now and for ever. • The following passage from Mr. Nortks letter draws from Mrs. Norton an account of her W3tment from the period of their marriage : .inst her 1,5001. ex- Le was a r. Norton (who r . o g n r a ge , a v cf e oa r lms c ep h l a pa r gr ine e: "My own conduct, I admit, at that time - was weak and vaccinating in the the extreme. I had It bar to-mad ness for three or four years before I marri • ier, and after we were united she had all power over me I was a very young girl at school when Mr. Norton proposed for me. I was always maltreated by hitt from the earliest period of our marriage. I parted from him in 1833, and in 1835, as my family can witness, for violence such is brought before police courts ; and I re turned to him on his own passionate entreaty that I would not "crush" but "forgive hi m ," and that he " went on his knees to me for pardon." I was safe out of his power, and my reputation unsullied, when he made his. prayer ; I returned, and, five months after this letter, we were again and definitively parted. That parting was followed by the attempt publicly to disgrace me. After that public disgrace, he did, as he admits, ask me to return to him. But that is not, as he would have the world believe, his only vacil lating" attempt at reconciliation. My husband, wh o pre tends to have loved me so tenderly, an d thrown me off so completely, did neither one nor th e o th er . lie mal treated me while with him, and he h as b ee n in almost constant correspondence with me, an d occ asionally a visitor at my house down to the wi n t er o f t h e yearlB so . Would any one believe that, two y ears a ft er " our re union was rendered impossible," h e wrote l e tter after letter, endeavouring to arrange f or our li v i ng together again, and speaksiof "shielding m e i n a hus b an d's arms ?" that, at the time he alludes to, h e was endeavouring r egain to resist my petition to the Chanc e ll or to possessio n of my children ; that he then ga ve hi s so l emn word of honour to Mr. Hardwick, a broth er mag i stra t e; that he had not been raising a fresh scand a l aga i ns t me ; that he never ventured to defend my petiti on t o the Chancel lor ; that in his letters, two years s u b sequen tly, he begs me, with coaxing expressions, to call i n a ll copies a a pamphlet containing our strange correspondence ; and, in one of these letters of 1842, speaks of himsel f as " your Geordie of former and happier years" that not only then, but in all the years since, I can produce let ters more or less friend!y and aff ec ti onate ; a sking ser vices of me ; thanking me for serving him • an nouncing the marriage of his sister ; full of phrases Of jesting and affection; many beginning "Dear Carry," and "De arest Carry ;" anxious about me ; complimenting me ; asking " how my travelling al ine can be obviated ;" finally (for I weary over these instances of caprice), in April, 1846, be begins—" Your kind letter, written in the good old spirit, which should never have been broken," —and on Christmas-day, 1846 , exactly ten years and six months after the trial, and six y ears a fter my petitio n to the Chancellor, he hopes my health is " crisp like the frost —praises my brother — signs himself, " Yours e ver ' and in another letter b e g s I will embrace the b o y s "for absent me, as well as for yourself ! " Is it possible to conceive that in the face of all this Mr. Norton can so depend on my not ans werin g him as to ventur e to p rint such mistatements ? Is it p ossibl e he does not see that these calumnies, leave him in this position ; either he disbe lieves calumnies, which nevertheless he reiterates to my injury when it suits him ; or, believing me to be a bad woman, he wishes me to return home ? It is, indeed, difficult to choo©e which alternative shall save his honour! The next shows that Mr. Norton proved by his own admissions that there was no stipulation that her annuity was to depend on her not receiving any money from Lord Melbourne, and further, that his only ground for my previous proposing a reduction was th e fact o f h er incom e being increased by 5001., which was left b y h er mothe r. She than proceeds : He o givesney his matters, own most aeconduct y onduct inallow ance the exact and witnessed truth bein g , that durin g th e two m ount of plausibly, years 1836 and 1837 I had n ot one sin g le farthin g from Mr. Norton ; that he then em p lo y ed Sir John B ayley, who had been all otherhis counsel,matters ; to t arbitrate;that h e would as not to abide by m falsely ; the arbitration ; made what allowance he pleased ; and advertised me (to guard himself from further liability) in the public papers ; being, I believe, the only person of his own rank in life who ever adopted such a m ea . sure. I copy two sentences from a declaration with which Sir John Bailey has lately furnished me, in con tradiction at once of the whole fabrication respecting my conduct in these matters : " I was appointed arbitrator on Mr. Norton's behalf in the year 1837, having been counsel for him, and thus be came intimately acquainted with the circumstances of these disputes. Mr. Norton gave me at that time a written promise to abide by my decision. He broke his promise, and refused to hold himself bound by the pledges given." to his wife, so far as it has come under my knowledge and cognizance, to have been marked with the grossest cruelty, injustice, and inconsistency." It is with pain I approach that portion of Mr. Norton's letter in which he has chosen to make reference to our son. I think my sons' names should have been held sacred in this dreary quarrel, whieh began in their childhood, and which their manhood finds unreconciled. My son is not yet in England, nor was he in England at the time Mr. Norton states he had those communications with him. I utterly deny that I ever made him the channel of a falsehood to his father ; and I deny that I ever said or implied that it was "an insult" to be supposed to be aided by Lord Melbourne's family. With respect to Lord Melbourne, three years after the date' Mr. Norton himself assigns to the anecdote he has thought fit to publish, he writes thus— s peakin of the woman who afterwards left him the Yorkshire pro perty, and who had invited him to dine : "I sent her a civil excuse, which was answered by a `thorough love-letter; indeed, it is high time that I should sanction to a remarking world your penchant for old men, by suffering this antique faux pas." • The postmark of that letter is Aug. 8, 1834. Ido not know if Mr. Norton will persist that it is the remark of a jealous husband. In January and in February, 1836 (that is, one month before our filial separation), Mr. Norton speaks of the "unparalleled kindness" of Lord Melbourne, and strenuously urges me to write to him to press the appointment of a friend. I will not enter into the fabulous history of the letters. Mr. Norton forgets that as he was then, by his own admis sion, occupied on "one or two other" names, it could not be foreseen that these notes from Lord Melbourne would be important ; and the whole of that statement is false. With the exception of myself, most of the per sons Mr. Norton maligns are dead, and cannot answer him. Lord Melbourne is no longer here to give his word of honour that the man he served when living has stated that which is untrue of his memory ; but I can very clearly contradict Mr. Norton as to one statement, and I do so to show what credence may be given to others. Becoming apparently uneasy as, to any remarks which may be made on the affectation of looking with abhor rence on my acceptance of aid, while he himself receives 1,000/. a year from Lord Melbourne's appointment, Mr. Norton asserts as follows : " Lord Melbourne promised me the appointment of police magistrate before he visited at our house, or before I believe, he even knew Mrs. Norton." And he gives this very plausible reason : " Lord Eldon had appointed me Commissioner of Bank rupts in 1827, and when such appointment was abolished by the construction of the Bankruptcy Court, in 1830 or 1831, I considered that I had some claim on the Home Se cretary, having received no compensation for the loss of my situation.' Both these sentences are directly contrary to the real facts. By Mr. Norton's express wish and desire, I wrote at H fri o e i n la d n s d l , tt o u rd ght a m ns ig do ht wn s e e , rv t e he u p s. uk l e w of ro p te ev t o o ns L hi o r r e d , that time, not only to Lord Melbourne, b u t t o a ll th ose and others, to make interest with Lord Brougham (then Lord Chancellor) to get Mr. Norton a legal appoint ment. This not appearing probable, we asked for a Commissionership of Excise or custom. We did not succeed in this second request any more than the first, but,when Mr. Wyatt, a police magistrate, died, Lord Mel bourne wrote to me to offer the vacant magistracy. On the 18th of April, 1831, Lord Melbourne wrote me word that the Chancellor had sent his secretary to in quire respecting this matter ; and had intimated that he should expect Mr. Norton to resign his Commissioner ship of Bankrupts ; Lord Melbourne added, " This is not so agreeable, but still was to be expected, and is perhaps not unfair in these reforming times, and I men tion it that you may not be surprised when you receive the intelligence." Mr. Norton was disappointed, and demurred ? he desired to hold both appointments ; I wrote again to Lord Melbourne to state this ; and received in reply the following note : " House of Lords, Quarter-past Five. " Take my advice, and make Nortoii write a line imme diately to the Lord Chancellor, giving up his Commis sionership. What you cannot keep, it is always best to give up with a good grace.—Yours faithfully, " MELBOURNE." The statement, therefore, made by Mr. Norton, is entirely fictitious ; and, if I notice it, it is to ask what reliance can be placed on all the other misstatements in which blind wrath, imperfect memory, and utter irresolu tion, have involved hith ? Mr. Norton calls his pub lished letter, a " vindication ;" a man of keener moral perceptions would have felt, when he wrote it, that he was not writing his defence, but his confession. From beginning to end it is a tissue of degrading admissions, or incorrect assertions ; of which the con tradiction, I am thankful to say, does not rest on my helpless denial, but on the clearest disproof. The conclusion of the letter is as follows :—" I have done. There will always be those to whom a slander is precious ; and who can bear to 'have it refuted. There are also those in whose eyes the accusation of a woman is condemnation, and who care little whether the story be false or true, so long as there is or was a story against her." But juster minds, who will pause and review the circumstances Mr. Norton himself has published, will perhaps think the fate of that woman a hard one whom neither the verdict of the jury, nor the solemn denial of a voice from the dead, nor the petition of her husband for reconciliation and oblivion of the past, can clear from a charge always and utterly untrue. I did not deserve the scandal of 1836, and I do not deserve the scandal of 1853. Lord Melbourne did not tempt me then to break my wedded faith ; and his name has not now been the ground of a broken stipulation. On Mr. Norton's own letter I am content that people should judge us both. Many friends have wished me to pass over that letter in disdainfulsilence, as refuting itself; and perhaps, if I were happy enough to be obscure and unknown, that would be my course. But I have a position separate from my woman's destiny ; I am known as a writer ; and I will not permit 1,14 Mr. Norton's letter -shall. -remain on the journal of Great Britain as the uncontra,dicted record of my ac tions. I will, as far as lam able, defend a name which might have been only favourably known, but which my husband has rendered notorious. The little world of my chance readers may say of me, after I am dead and gone, and my struggle over and forgotten—" The wo man who wrote this book had an unhappy history ;" but they shall not say— "The woman who wrote this book was a profligate and mercenary hypocrite." Since my one gift of writing gives me friends among strangers, I appeal to the opinion of strangers as well as that of friends. Since, in however bounded and narrow a de gree, there is a chance that I may be remembered after death, I will not have my whole life misrepresented. Let those women who have the true woman's lot, of being unknown out of the circle of their homes; thank God for that blessing ; it is a blessing ; but for me pub licity is no longer a matter of choice. Defence is pos sible to me; not silence. And I must remind those who think the right of a husband so indefeasible that a wife ought rather to submit to the martyrdom of her reputa tion than be justified at his expense, that I have re frained. All I state now I might have stated at any time during the past unhappy years ; and I never did publicly state it till now—now, when I find Mr. Norton slandering the mother of his sons by coarse anecdotes, signed with his name and published by his authority, endeavouring thus to overwhelm me with infamy, for no offence but that of having rashly asserted a claim upon him which was found not to be valid in law, but only binding on him "as a man of honour."

Wellesley, sailed last night on her return to Plymouth, to be paid off. The Prince of Wales Indiaman brought up at Spit head this afternoon en route to Calcutta. The Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, went to Lunce-point yesterday, with Capt. Pel ham and a party of engineers, to inspect the new bat tery. The Plumper, 9, screw-sloop, Commander Wharton, bent sails to-day ;it is expected she will relieve the Penelope, as flag of Rear-Admiral Bruce, on the coast of Africa. It is probable the Antelope steam-vessel will accompany her out. The Christiana American packet-ship, which arrived on Thursday, sailed this morning for New York. Wind N. by E., with rain. The comet has been distinctly visible two nights this week, looking up the harbour W.N.W., from 8 to 10 p.m., about 35 degrees from the earth ; and to the naked eye the " length of a rocket," with the nucleus beauti fully bright, the size of a cocoa-nut. Many hundreds witnessed this interesting phenomenon. The new-fashioned iron propellor for the Conflict, 8, will be cast to-morrow in her Majesty's dockyard, and which is expected to be the happy medium. The Comus, 18, Commander Fellowes, arrived at Madeira on the Ist of August, from England. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 1. The trial of the St. Jean d'Acre yesterday gave the greatest satisfaction. She was not tried at full speed on Tuesday. Yesterday full speed was put on, and she ran from the Breakwater to the Eddystone in 53 minutes. She kept out some hours, when, in every position, she answered admirably, and finally left the Eddystone, coming in at full speed, and reached her moorings abreast of the dockyard in one hour and fifteen minutes, about ten miles and a half per hour. She is altogether a splendid ship. Her qualities as a sailing-ship have not as yet been tested. Mr. Dinnen is here entering into all the qualities and performances of her engines. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 1. At 9 a.m., this day, the Lords of the Admiralt ar rived here from Chatham. On their approachiny g the yard a salute was fired from the Waterloo, 120 guns, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford. On landing their lordships were received by the port officers, Captain- Superintendent Charles Hope, R.N., and the principal officers of her Majesty's dockyard. The full Board visited, with the exception of Vice-Admiral C.B. Hyde Parker and the First Secretary, Mr. Ralph Osborne, M.P. The Board, with Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., &c., Surveyor of the Navy, proceeded to the board-room, in the Captain Superintendent's depart ment, for the purpose of inspecting the reports and sug gestions of the officers of everygrade for the improvement of the service, the result of which is, of course, unknown at present ; but there is little doubt there is great room for improvement. At about twelve o'clock their lordships proceeded to visit the storehouses, all o f which were thrown open for inspection. Their lord ships were conducted throug h the various departments appropriated for the stowage of cables, standing and run ning rigging, sails, &c., by Mr. Robert Laws, store keeper. Their Lordships then proceeded to the docks to inspect the Miranda, 14, screw steam-sloop ' after which they visited the Royal G eor g e, 120, screw steam ship. The Howe, 120, now being taken to pieces, in No. 2 dock, for future conversion, became a point of at traction, or, perhaps, reflection on some persons or other, for such a noble stucture of marine architecture, at an e nor mous expense, being sacrificed. At 1.30 p.m., their r Plum SD. Lordships mustered the entire staff of the yard ; all the officers and clerks individully being presented to their Lordships by the Captain Superintendent, Charles Hope, R.N. Their Lordships also mustered the crew of the Horatio, receiving-ship for volunteers for the navy. The inspection of the boys entered for contin uous service was particularly made by Sir James Robert Graham, who made several inquiries among the boys, and commended them generally for entering the service. After the inspection, their Lordships pro ceeded to the Admiralty-house, and partook of the hos pitality of the Vice-Admiral, the Hon. Josceline Percy. To morrow, their lordships will take their departure for Harwich in the Vivid paddle-wheel steam-packet, Master Commander Luke Smithett (acting), February 4, 1851. The Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo, proceeded to Chatham, with a portion of the retinue of their lord ships, and Colonel Green proceeded in the Wildfire, en route to London, via the North Kent Railway from Stroud. At 5.15 p.m. the Prince of Prussia passed through Sea-reach, and was saluted with 21 guns from the Waterloo flag-ship. THE CAPTAIN'S RETIRED LIST OF 1846.

Capt. Edward Ch appe ll h as served dur i ng hi s cateer in the navy 20 year s ac ti ve l y a fl oat and ashore. The following is from " O'B yrne ' s B i ograp h y .. Edward Chappell was b orn August 10, 1792. H e entered the navy in -May, 1804, as fi rs t- c l ass vo l un t eer , on board the Kingfisher, 18, C ap t a i ns Ri chard Wm. Cr ibb , a : d d j r othhne Monday order l:1d a i y n Nathaniel Day Cochrane, George Francis Seymour, and William Hepenstall, in which vessel he attained the rating of midshipman, April 23, 1806, and continued to serve until April, 1807. In the course of 1805, in dependently of the capture, in-- West Indies, of Les Deux Amis, of 6 guns and 40 men, of L'Elizabeth, of 14 guns and 102 men, and of a Spanish register ship, he distinguished himself at the cutting-out, from under the fire of heavy batteries on the Spanish main, of the Isa bella la Damos, of 4 guns and of 57 men, and, in the o eu day, of a Spanish merchantman. After partici pating in the victory off St. Domingo, February 6, 1806, the Kingfisher returned to England with the dispatches, and was then sent to Basque Roads, where she towed out the Pallas at the close of her action with the Mi nerve, May 14, 1806. She subsequently formed part of the force under Sir Thomas Louis at the capture, September 27, in the same year, of the French 44-gun frigate Le President, and was next ordered to the Medi terranean. On becoming attached, in April, 1807, to the Favourite, alias Goree, 26, Capt. William Standway Parkinson, Mr. Chappell assisted at the ensuing reduc- tion of the Danish West India Islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix ; after -which he joined in succession the Ulysses, 44, Intrepid, 64, and Captain, 74, all com manded by Capt. Christ. John Williams Nesham, under whom, in the Intrepid, he served on shore with a party of seamen at the capture of Martinique, in February, 1809, and was present when that ship was severely cut up in an engagement with the French frigates Hen /lade and Felicitd, under the guns of Fort Matilda, Guadeloupe, April 15 following. In December, 1809, he removed to the Tonnant, 80, Captain Hassard Stackpoole, and sailed for the port of Cadiz, where, on being appointed to the command of a gun-boat, be witnessed the destruction of a Spanish prison ship, co-operated in the defence of Fort Matagordo, lost nearly the whole of his crew in killed and wounded, was himself severely injured, and obtained for his services an acting lieutenancy in the T4m4- raire, 98, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Francis Pickmore, by whom he appears to have been soon after detached to assist in navigating the Pernando Septinao, of 120 guns, to Port Mahon. Having been officially promoted in the Minorca, 18, Captain Ralph Randolp Worme- ' ley, April 18, 1811, and being for some time success fully employed in cruising between Tunis and Sicily, Lieut. Chappell returned to England in t'.A) Implacable, 74, Captain Joshua Rowley Watson, and was paid off in November, 1812. We afterwards find him appointed -December 3, 1812, to the Rosamond, 20, Captains Donald, Campbell, and Edward Stopford, in which he visited the shores of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Hud son's Bay--January 9, 1815, to the Beaver, 10, Captain Edward O'Brien Drury, lying at Sheerness-and, Jan. 17, 1815, as senior, to the Leven, 20, Captain Buckland Stirling Bluett, which vessel, after being employed dur ing the war of 100 days in supplying arms to the Royalists in La Vendee, was placed out of commission in Novem ber, 1815. From February 8, 1819, until advanced, in acknowledgment of his effective services, to the rank of commander, April 19, 1826, Mr. Chappell was next engaged on the Coast Blockade as supernumerary lieutenant of the Severn, Ramillies, and Hyperion, Cap tains William M'Cullocla and William James Mingaye. He had, during that period, been strongly recommended by the grand jury of Sussex, and highly complimented by the judge, for his exertions in detecting and convicting a gang of smugglers at Bexhill ; and had also, in 1822, received the thanks of the East India directors, accom panied by a piece of plate, valued at 100 guineas, for going off in a boat and rescuing the passengers and crew of the Thames, Indianian, when that ship was wrecked near Beachy Head. Immediately on his promotion, Captain Chappell was appointed, under the Post-office,. to superintend the steam-packet establishment at ford, whence he was subsequently removed to Liver pool, and there, on the packet-service being transferred to the surveillance of the Admiralty, placed in com mand, June 27, 1837, of the Redwing steamer, from which he was posted, December 27, 1838. In 1840 we find him, by order of the Board of Admiralty, circumna vigating Great Britain in the Archimedes steamer, for the purpose of reporting on the properties of the screw propeller. At present he is on half-pay. Captain Chappell has been frequently examined by committees of the House of Commons on matters connected with steam navigation ; and on one occasion he was employed by the President of the Board of Trade to prepare the rough draft of an act of Parliament for the regulation of steam vessels. In December, 1840, he was appointed marine superintendent, and in February, 1842, secretary to the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, in which latter capacity he now officiates. We should not omit stating that Captain Chappell, in 1817, published a nar rative of a ' Voyage to Hudson's Bay,' Sze. ; another, in 1838, of one to Newfoundland and the Coast of Labra dor ;' and in 1840 the results of his experiments in the Archimedes." COMMANDER J. C. PITMAN. The restoration of this officer to his rank in the navy, iy Order in Council of the 19th of August, has been the • subject of general congratulation throughout the service; for it is held by all to be an act of gracious justice. That Commander Pitman deservedly earned that rank . . in which, by the just recommendation of the Admiralty, he has been reinstated, will be seen by the following brief account of his gallant career : " John Charles Pitman entered her Majesty's naval ser vice in the year 1826, on board her Majesty's ship Asia, flag-ship of Sir Edward Codrington, and has served afloat 17 years. `-` Whilst serving as midshipman he was present at the general action of Navarino, in her Majesty's ship Rose, Captain Lewis Davies (in which engagement she so greatly distinguished herself), and had the honour to be strongly recommended by his captain on that occasion ; he was also employed in her Majesty's ship Talbot, Captain the Hon. F. Spencer, at the taking of the Morea Castles in 1828. He also served whilst a midshipman with Captains Sir William Parker, B. Maxwell, W. Gordon, and Sir H. Le Fleming Senhouse. " When serving as mate in her Majesty's ship St. Vin cent, in May, 1831, he received severe injury when on duty on the quarter deck from the gun tackle purchase giving way whilst getting the guns on board, for which he received a pension of 2s. 6d. per diem, from 9th June, 1834, until December the same year, when he was capable , of resuming his duties afloat. In 1831 he was appointed acting lieutenant of her Majesty's ship St. Vincent by the commander in chief, Sir Josias Rowley, and continued • such until she was paid off. He also served as mate under Captains Deans Dundas, Lewis Davies, James Dacres, and Sir H. Le Fleming Senhouse, in her Majesty's ship Blen heim, in which ship he proceeded to China, and on arrival there was promoted by Lord Minto, having been seven years and a half a mate. He was appointed junior lieute nant of her Majesty's ship Druid, Captain Henry Smith. " As lieutenant he was actively employed in the open a tions in China, and received testimonials from Lord Gough, Captains Sir Thomas Herbert, Sir Thomas Bourchier, Sir Edward Belcher, S. Pritchard, J. Pearse, and George Goldsmith, and others. He was at the taking of the Ty-cock-tow, Chuenpee, and Anunghoy Forts, and was present at the first advance on the Canton River ; was lent to her Majesty's shin Blenheim, to act as naval aide-de campt to Sir H. Le F. Senhouse (the senior naval officer) and General Sir Hugh Gough, and was present during the whole of the operations on the heights of Canton, which led to the capitulation of that city ; was at the taking of Amoy in her Majesty's ship Druid, and remained in China until the conclusion of the war, and was promoted to the rank of commander in December, 1842. " He was appointed to her Majesty's ship Childers Feb. 28, 1846, and during his command of three years and a half in the China Seas, received testimonials of approba tion from the senior naval officers, Captains J. N. Camp bell, M'llougall, M`Quhae, and Commodore Plumridge ; also from Sir Geo. Bonham, as well as the thanks of her Majesty's consul, and all the foreign residents at Shanghai, as well as from her Majesty's Government and the Lords of the Admiralty, for the services his ship performed in conjunction with her Majesty's ship Espiegle, for block ading 800 war-junks until the Chinese made reparation for their ill-usage of British subjects. " For his services in getting off her Majesty's ship agroundChil ders,when upon the Pratas Shoal, on which she was driven by a typhoon in the month of October, 1848, on her passage from Hong Kong to Shanghai (three of his commissioned officers being the on the sick-list), he had also the honour to receive their lordships' approbation, as well as that of the commander-in-chief, Sir Francis Collier. " He also received the thanks of the French commodore and Capt. de Genourtly for services rendered to the crews of La Glorie and Victorieuse, wrecked in the Gulf of Corea, for which the King of the French wished to confer on him the Lenion of Honour, but it being contrary to the regulations of the service to permit the acceptance of foreign orders, her Majesty's Government could not accede to it."

Drunkenness itself is, - it seems, but an imperfect state of enjoyment un til the ferocity of our brutes has been heartily and, thoroughly expended in kicks and cuffs on the first person whose sex, instead of protecting, marks 'het" out as fair game for every Species of cruelt3 4--- It is but two or three days ago that we had to an nounce a case in which a series of such outrages had been terminated with murder. Nevertheless, the police reports continue to furnish daily records of assaults on women; and the London journals are compelled, day after day, to reveal to the world that revolting habits, which would disgrace the most degraded race, prevail among gangs of wretches in this metropolis. fortunately arrested would ask the working men of London—not by whom, but among whom, these scandalous scenes are daily enacted—what opinion do they expect that a foreigner, or even a fellow -countrymen who resides at a distance, will form of their conduct and of their feelings, from the police reports which have appeared iu our journal even within the last two or three days ? Let us briefly recapitulate some of the horrors which they disclose. In our Wednes day's papers, we find that at Marylebone an Irish bricklayer, named Michael Carroll, was charged with assaulting his wife, the mother of five children. With no greater provocation than an entreaty to withdraw from some quarrel into which the drunken wretch had fallen, he struck her violently, and knocked her down. This was all the poor woman recollected, for the blows had happily stunned. her ; and she was too insensible to feel, at the mo ment, the cruelty which followed. But another witness saw "the prisoner having hold of his wife's hair, and beating her head against the window sill and wall. He then pulled her from the win dow into the room, and, throwing her on the floor, commenced kicking her on the body. He also struck at his little son, who was calling out, ' Oh, don't, father, don't!' The woman was all covered f qu i te the ury. sa ills m “ e e s lis h c e o ib u wa l rt e. , " s fo s osa w liv h va e eg n se' he interposed, and she would terference.

This ruffian's fury seems to have been ex cited by the whispering of his child, a mere infant, f H iL r niwaa o n e eir m iswrgedrtseuhhl h struck bnitab i c dreadfully ieu- s thldgroat g dwhl h a s ire''eh' e ' ewpr' grasp, sw i nthaes the caughtl)l a e e e y iald e tai i, e et2nat i jtdl a a l eute:tnhn jump ed and hel d aeepashvu ' un h a pp y ri herel nsldohhdguuapfipph u n mercifully rr a r op e ony r tef at ne p r o ceeded t‘wods‘hdibor sworn el . g had at last given her strength th n t o t during the whole of the time wh en herself ear h d ers t e h door, hurled her on the sofa, and re with fresh vigour. At last, the screams re com m en ce d the e child attracted the police, and the ruffian was - ried off to answer for his conduct. The magistrate was horrified at the brutality of the fellow, but sentenced him to only three months' imprisonment, because the assault had not been quite as mur derous as in the first case. Upon reflection, how ever, Mr. Broughton might think, with the Greek legislator, that, if the slightest offence merits a certain amount of punishment, that amount ought not to be •reduced merely because the law assigns no severer retribution to a graver crime. At the Southwark Police Court, another shoemaker, a young scoundrel only nineteen years of age was found guilty of knocking down and kicking a poor young creature of sixteen, who had been silly enough, one short month since, to become his wife. At his early age, at least, it might have been ex pected that some little tenderness would have still lingered for the gentler sex. But the precocious young villain showed that he had already attained the lowest depth of degradation. He had forfeited all claim to the title of man before the beard had fully grown upon his face. We pass over such filthy creatures as Mr. John Neaves, a master plumber, of 27, Cole's-terrace, Islington, and his ally th e b r i c kl ayer Gooding , and • the even more disgusting Ryan ; f or indecent as saults on women, however strongly indicative of the bestial nature of the perpetrators, fall under a totally distinct category from the offences now under consideration. Of these our columns of yesterday furnished- two more cases, and others, equally gross and disgusting, will be found in our police report of to-day. At the Westminster Po- lice Court, a tailor, named Edrept, was sent to the - treadmill 'for six Months for beating liis wife, with out provocation, in the most unmerciful manner. The unfortunate woman was covered with blood when the policeman rescued her from her tyrant, and her face was disfigured with contusions. In another case, the wife could not be induced to give evidence against her husband. Her cries of murder had attracted a policeman's attention ; but she had escaped from the clutches of her persecutor, before the officer arrived. Fortunately, however, the fellow did not get away scot free. He had resisted the policeman, and the Lord Mayor availed himself of this piece of insubordination to send him to gaol for a month. The daily recurrence of these outrages shows that a term of imprisonment, even extending over six' months, and made irksome by hard labour, is utterly inadequate to cope with the evil. Parlia ment must, therefore, try whether the infliction of sharp bodily pain will not secure respect for those whom all men worthy of the name deem it their duty and their right to protect. Let us only have three or four of these rascals dragged at the cart's tail from Charing Cross to St. Paul's, and London will hear no more of women being torn to pieces by wild beasts. The terror of the lash —or, if not, the memory of its smart—will effectually arrest the uplifted hand for ever. When the female sex have an official ally, prompt to retaliate with interest every assault which is committed on them, the dastard woman-beater will not dare to vent his infernal temper on them in blows. Not a finger will be raised against them when the executioner is at hand, with the cart and the cat-o'-nine-tails, to avenge the injury. The fear of the thong damped the ardour of those who might have been in clined to follow Oxford's example, and it would have a salutary operation on behalf of the humblest' woman in the community. Shameful and degrad ing as the punishment unquestionably is, it is bet ter to adopt it than to suffer the present state of things to continue. A parcel of villians must not . be allowed to lead their wives and mothers a li fe country.

" You are (the orders declare) distinctly to understand that the principal and chief object of your orders is to communicate with Beechey Island, for the purpose of landing stores and obtaining information, and thence to return direct to England. But, should the season prove an open one, and on your return from Beechey Island you should have an opportunity of examining the coast , i n the vicinity of Cape Walsingham, we do not object to your doing so, but on no account are you to risk the safety of the ship or you r b e i ng detained, as you must I positively return to England this season." -. -►, • (1% 1 REEVES, 3,4, and 5, POPE'S 4et,,Y op, ALLEY, 19, CORNHI,,L.
