" The main points of this treatise are the clear and detailed state ment of the principles on which the author's F yitem is based, ant very explicit particulars of its verification by experiment. . . We cannot refuse to entertain Mr. Hay's system as of singular intrinsic excellence. The simplicity of his law and its generality impress themselves more deeply on the conviction with each time of enforce ment. His theory proceeds from the idea, that in Nature every thing is effected by means more simple than any other that could have been conceived, —an idea certainly consistent with whatever we can trace out or imagine of the all-wise framing of the universe." —Spectator, Jan. lst, 1853. " This is a treatise which, in its ingenuity not less than its sub ject, is exquisitely beautiful . . . Briefly, it is here proved that man, the image of his Maker, has, even in his low estate, a frame based on the type of the most perfectly conceivable symmetry. By founding (if we may so phrase it) this noble theory, Mr. Hay has covered his name with distinction, and has laid the basis, we con ceive, of no ephemeral reputation. By illustrating it anew, through the medium of this graceful treatise, he has conferred a real boon upon the community, for he has afforded the public another oppor tunity of following the golden rale of the post—by looking through the holy and awful mystery of creation, to the holier and yet more awful mystery of Omnipotence."—The Sun, March 17, 1853.

WHITSUNTIDE. THE time when Spring and Summer " comes out" in good earnest —trips, excursions, promenades, and busi ness enliven every circle in society—every ono purchases New Dress, and is anxious to secure the Newest Fabrics associated with the most Fashionable and Comfortable Style.. Every youth in the Empire expects a New Suit of Attire, nor are they indifferent about the appearrnce their dress will impart. The advantages desired by families are superior quality, neatness, fashion, and economy. All these are combined in the resplendent Stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, &c , &c., prepared by E. MOSES and Sox for Whitsuntide. Specification of the principal fea tures of their Spring anal Summer Clothing is impossible. Inspection will convey an impression of the novelty, elegance, and cheapness of the Good*, and experience will prove the superior quality of the ma terials and workmanship. The unparalleled position E. Moses and SON have maintained for many years renders assertions unnecessary, and it is only requisite to observe, that for Whitsuntide they are magnificently prepared with the cheapest and the best Clothing of every fashionable description. Juvenile Attire offered by E. MOSES and Sox is more distinguished for elegance, style, fashion, ease, novelty, and cheapness, than any which others can present; it manifests the perfection of their skill in the selection of materials, and the triumphs of talent in the Cut and Make of every Garment. Spring and Summer Coats, Vests, Trousers, raletots, &c., &c., in cluding various New Styles, which can only be obtained at the Establishments of E. Moses and Sox. Every article is far better and much cheaper than those obtained elsewhere. 150,000 EMIGRANTS to AUSTRALIA, Consisting of cabin, intermediate, or steerage passengers, may be Outfitted with everything they will need, of the best quality and the most suitable kind, for less money and in less time than at any other house in the world. These are the advantages offered to all Emi grants by E. MOSES and Sox. The largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment la the universe is available for large or small investments E. MOSES and Sox's Goods being highly appreciated in Australia and all other Colonies, are the most convenient and lucrative investments emigrants can make. Shlpsatling information, and fUll Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free to any part cf the kingdom. _ CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows :- - g o s n , d a o n n d City B6 Establishment,Aidgate ,oppsopposite the 84 1' , , a a ll n c d om ls m 7, u tf i l e n a o t ri in e g s . , 83, London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, Church, c i h 5 6, 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

In responding to the toast of "The Strangers," Sir George Stephens, of Liverpool, alluded to the challenges which were continually p ass i ng among players, and on behalf of Mr. Staunton, named terms upon which that gentleman would challenge the whole world, in order that he might clear up a doubt which had been cast upon his claim to be reckoned the first player in Europe. They were that the stakes should be 2501. each if the player resided abroad, and 1501. or 1001., at the choice of the party, if he re sided in England ; the play to take place at a private hotel, in the presence of three friends of each player only. A gentleman in the room asked Mr. Staunton why he had not accepted a challenge given to him in Bell's Life lately ! Mr. Staunton, without giving any reasons, proceeded to speak of a challenge made in Bell's Life and refused, and said that a foreigner in the room (Herr Lowenthal, it was understood) put forth a challenge which Herr Harrwitz had not the manliness to accept, or the acceptance of it was so contemptible that it was worse than a refusal. On this Herr Harrwitz rose in a state of great excitement, and left the room. g, t r ' P iot 53 1 e for per. raPt l ,9 Ices 6d. g 33 t° 43 46 t ° 43 40t0 4o t,, 9P ~... 50 ..••• f# :,.., Fll :.•••• DP ..•,' 1).0' ./ 'lc • 3'l ' 1, ~ 41P •• 1 0 4 •• 1 0 4 p 37 / pt , i, ro ~, o II 0 0 ° 0 0 0 0 0 i 0 ~,' °)) ie°r ots" L k fri 11' el l ool g ; 10 aop -11, d or 13 ,041 50 6 W ,1 40 1 , f 101" No. 18,916.] THE ANNUAL MEETING of the FEMALE ~,ERVANTS HOME SOCIETY will take place To-MORROW, at Exeter-hall.

THE LATE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. that Ridgway had applied at all to Sir Frederick Smith, though, as far as recollection served him the original repre sentations on behalf of Ridgway came from Sir F. Smith. He did not follow up the charge made against Captain Richards of keeping Ridgway from promotion on political grounds, because he thought it better to inquire into the fit ness of the man for the situation he asked. In saying that Captain Richards wss one of the most violent partisans in Chatham, he meant the most so in the dockyard. His ground for saying so was, that Chatham was the only dockyard from which he received communications—mostly anonymous, he confessed—from persons asking whether the Admiralty would stand by them if th ey exercised their votes according to their own views. Although such evidence might not be of much value here, it, coupled with the fact that from no other dock yard were similar communications made, led him to form the conclusion he expressed the other day. There was a strong political f ee lin g on b ot h sides in the yard. He had nothing tangible to show th a t C aptain Richards was a violent parti san, but sever a l respec t a b le people had informed him so. He could not give thei r names, as their communications had b een confidential. He did not know when making that charge against Captain Richards that every superintendent, by the general order of 1847, was bound to abstain from all political interference, although of course he knew such a course was mo s t proper. With respect to Ridgway, the promotion had b een only probationary, and there was no reason to supp ose th at that person had applied to Sir F. Smith for r ecommendation. Sir F. Smith, being well acquainted with the y ar d , m i ght have known the man ' s abilities and position, and made the representations on his behalf without his knowledge. It was very usual in the House of Commons for applications to be made on behalf of persona who themselves were quite unconscious of them. Captain Richards was in error in stating that he met him (Mr. Stafford) at Sheerness, before the correspond.enoe which took place in April. That was a mistake, as he was intro duced to Captain Richards on the Ist of May. The reason of the circular of April 19, had described. Chairman—What state of things I was to remedy the state of things he Mr. Stafford—l was informed that political influence was brought to bear against the Government to which I belonged. I have already said I did not , consult any Lord of the Ad miralty about 'that circular, nor any member orttur Goma- • ment. Ido not know whether you could call some conver sation I had with the First Lord a consultation or not, but it was only snatches of conversation, not a continuous consulta tion, and, moreover, was strictly confidential: I might have consulted some people upon the principle of the circular, but I acted for myself, and cannot mention their names, as the communications were strictly confidential. I take all the responsibility on myself. Mr. Stafford, in reply to questions from the Chairman, went on to say that he did not remember the First Lord (the Duke of Northumberland) desiring him to give every atten tion to the recommendations of the superintendents. The Chairman then directed Mr. Stafford's attention to a letter written by him on the 24th of May, to Capt. Richards, expressing surprise on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty that that officer should have filled up a vacancy from the private trade. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The committee met yesterday at 11 o'clock. The first witness called was Admiral Rich, who stated to the committee that he had been superintendent of the vie tualling-yard at Plymouth since February, 1850. He was appointed by Sir Francis Baring, who gave him no instruc tions whatever to abstain from interfering in political mat ters. There are about 160 men employed in the yard, but he could not say how many were voters, but knew many were. When vacancies occurred, the master-attendant re commended the most deserving to till the vacancies, and he (Admiral Rich) sometimes made his own remarks upon those recommendations. He cautioned Mr. Triscott, the store keeper, last summer, before the election, against interference in it, having heard that that gentleman had been actively assisting in the canvass of certain parties, and informed him that, if he continued to interfere in politics, it would be his (Admiral Rich's) duty to report the circumstances. Mr. Tris cott assured him that he had not interfered in polities. The master-attendant (Mr. Armstrong) never interfered in politics, nor had he (Admiral Rich) ever taken part in politics. People had come to him to propose to him to give him the disposal of their votes, which he declined, as also their requests for his advice as to how they should vote. To Lord Hotham—Was of opinion that preventing the dockyard people from voting would be a vast improvement, and had not the slightest doubt that the good of the service would be advanced by such a proceeding. To Sir F. Davie—The " submissions" made to the Admi ralty were generally adopted. Ho remembered one instance . _ The Pays says :—" It appears certain that thi session of the Legislative Body will be prolonged:from the 14th to the 21st inst. The last days of the session will be devoted to the discussion of the budget, and of several important bills, some of which have been presented, and others of which will be presented immediately." The report of M. Schneider on the Budget of Receipts and Expenses for 1854, has just been distributed to the members of the Legislative Body. The document con sists of two distinct parts, the first setting forth the new situation which the Senatus-Consultum of the 25th of December, 1852, produced for the Legislative Body ; and the second, rendering an account of the financial position of the country in its aggregate. The committee declares the Senatus-Consultum id question a measure of great importance, since it accords to the Government the authorisation to transfer from one department to the other the various credits granted, the only limit being the total amount voted by the Legislative Body. As to the financial situation, the committee is opinion that the budget of 1854 offers all the conditions of a Loner fide equilibrium. It approves of all the savings effected in the ministerial departments, and particularly the diminution in the credits for the army, which more than makes up for the sums allowed for extraordinary works. The committee declares that it looks on that circumstance as a remarkable indication of the policy of the Government. "It is the moat eloquent comment ary that can be given," says the report, "on the expres sion which has re-echoed through Europe—' The Em pire is peace.'" A great number of amendments have been presented on the budget of expenses by members of the Legislative Body ; and the committee has also proposed several, and sent them to the Council of State. Amongst those accepted by the Government is one which reduces by one million the credits allowed to the department of public,works for, ordinerVvo4.B4A4othet". ' whictrgiVes a saving 6f 700,000fi.' On t ie - budget of war; and lastly, one diminishing by 300,000 fr. the sub vention according to the Imperial colleges. The total of the savings acoepted by the Council of State is 2,079,000 fr. On the budget of receipts several amend ments have been likewise presented. Yesterday M. Billault informed the Corps Legislatif that the Emperor had signed a decree prolonging the session, which should have closed on the 13th inst., to the 28th inst. The Assembly then divided on the Jury Bill, which was adopted by a large majority. The votes were :—For the bill, 210 ; against it 15. The Forest Law Bill was also adopted by 228 votes against 13. This bill provides that the statute which prohibits the cutting down of timber on their lands by the proprietors without the authority of the Government functionaries, shall remain in force for another term of three years. When the post left the Assembly was engaged in a dis cussion on the pensions of the civil service. But little business was transacted at the Bourse yes terday in Government Securities, and at the conclusion of business there was a tendency shown towards a de cline in prices. The Three per Cents. for the account, and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents, for cash, remained unchanged, but a decline of 25c. occurred in the Three per Cents. for cash, and of 15c. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents, for the end of the month. A considerable improvement took place in the Bank of France shares, which advanced 25f. Closing prices :—For money, Three per Cents., 81f. 75c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 104 f. 10c. For the account, 3 per Cents., 81f. 90c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 104 f. 35c. ; Bank Stock, 2,725 f. The Mortgage Bank and Soci6td Mobi- Here quotations remained unchanged, that of the former being 885 f., and the latter 947£ 50c. Railway Securi ties also met with but little demand, and sales could only be effected at a decline on Monday's quotations of being the only exception, they having experienced no change at the conclusion of business. to the contrary, abort six weeks before the election. A va cancy occurred, and a man named Helms had been brought under his notice as a fit man for the vacancy, and he sent his name with that of another man, named Parkin, and, contrary to the ordinary custom, the second name was adopted, and Parkin appointed to the vacancy. Helms subsequently got a similar appointment, and the rumour was that Helms got his appointment by changing his principles from the strong Whig opinions he had previously held. Mr. Thos. Lloyd, chief engineer and inspector of machinery to the navy, stated that he had, upon one occasion, exa mined Mr. Wells, the present master smith at Portsmouth, about September last, and ascertained from him his qualifica tions. Wells said he had_worked at4he Xersey, Ironworks, and also at a ship smithery. Witness was satisfied, from Wells' answers, that ho was competent to fill the situation of master smith. The Hon. Captain Dundas was the next witness. He stated he was superintendent of Deptford Dockyard and Vic tualling-yard. All recommendations for promotion were for merly sent to the surveyor, but since the circular of the 19th of April, 1852, they had been sent direct to the Secretary of the Admiralty. He never had any occasion to consider that any recommendation of his had been overlooked by the sur veyor's department, and all the transactions with that office had been perfectly satisfactory. Before the election Mr. Stafford accompanied Mr. Rolt to the dockyard, and sent to ask him (Captain Dundas) to join them in their tour through the yard, which he declined to do. The storekeeper had told him that Mr. Stafford called him out of his office and stood at the gate with Mr. Rolt while the men were getting their tickets, but Mr. Stafford declined to have the men mustered, saying he only wanted to see how things were going on. Be fore the election he received a letter, marked " confidential," signed by the Secretary of the Admiralty, stating that the Government wished to use all its influence in favour of ono candidate. Mr. Rolt's name was mentioned in that letter. He put that letter into the fire, and returned no answer. Witness, when appointed by Sir Francis Baring, had been distinctly instructed to abstain from all political interference. To Lord Hotham—Considered the circular of September, 1849, was of great importance. Sir Thomas Herbert, one of the Lords of the Admiralty , under the late Administration, had served upon the south east coast of America and China, but had never filled any civil office before his appointment as Lord of the Admiralty. Upon his accession to office the medical department of the navy was especially placed under his charge, and the question of promotions in the dockyards did not come under his notice. He was not consulted previous to the issuing of the circular of the 19th of April, 1852, and heard of it only on the 26th of April, when the second circular was issued. He did not attach much importance to the circular of the 19th of April, as the change it effected was very slight, being only to bring recommendations for promotion to the notice of the surveyor through the medium of the Secretary of the Admiralty. He thought it was desirable that the surveyor should be consulted upon all promotions, and had never heard any complaints of the surveyor's department exercising any political influence in the matter of promotions. He had never heard of the differ ences upon the subject of the dockyard promotions, nor the strong remonstrances of Admiral Parker, until the papers were moved for in the House of Commons. He did not con sider that the circular of 1847 was a dead letter never to be acted upon, and looked upon it as a move in the right direc tion, and he decidedly approved of it. As to the circular of 1849, he considered that of very small importance. Having heard the evidence of the Duke of Northumberland, who con sidered that that circular gave the absolute patronage to the surveyor, he must say he thought practically it was pretty much so, the practice being for the superintendents or chief officers of the yards to recommend three names, of which the surveyor selected oue, and his recommendation was usually adopted by the Admiralty. The Chairman (Lord Seymour) called the attention of Sir Thomas Herbert to a letter of the 24th of May, received by Captain Richards from the Secretary to the Admiralty, in which it was said, " Having laid before my Lords your letter of the 23d." - Mr. Stafford answered, that without passing any opinion upon the letter, he would remark that the phraseology had been altered from the original minute, which did not contain the words " Having laid before my Lords," drc., they having been introduced by the writer as the ordinary official form. He wrote that letter on the 24th of May, without consulting any of the Lords of the Admiralty, as he considered the matter to which it related was entirely within his province, and he thought so still. Ho knew that in October, 1851, authority had been given to Capt. Richards to select a person from a private yard, but he (Mr. Stafford) considered that, after the lapse of so considerable a period before Capt. Richards made such appointment, he should have written to the Admiralty to know their wishes on the subject. The surprise he felt at the place being filled up according to tho authority granted to Capt. Richards in October, 1851, was because it happened after the correspondence about Groves had begun. In the case of Atkinson, who had been promoted without the recommendation of any officer in the yard, he could not say much, as it was dono during his absence by Captain Hamilton. In the case of George Rule, promoted to be workman at the metal mills, he had acted under an impres sion, which ho still retained, that, according to the regula tions of 1847, all appointments to the lowest classes of all trades in the yards were to be treated as first entries. There was a desire in every yard to get all the patronage it could, and that desire caused a great deal of contention. The Chairman—Then, to avoid these bickerings, would it not be desirable to have the submission of the surveyor, who could not be prejudiced in favour of any yard Mr. Stafford—That would not affect first entries. Mr. Stafford's evidence was terminated for this day by the announcement that the Speaker was at prayers, and the com mittee then adjourned. ITALY. The lase/ a / 6 e Nationale newspaper announces that the French Government has been informed by M. de Lacour that the question of the Holy Places has been finally settled, and that questions of secondary import ance only will form the subjects of further negotiations. The same journal states that the differences between Austria and Sardinia are tending to an amicable settle ment, that the Sardinian Ambassador will return to Vienna, and that the refugees who are naturalised in Sardinia will be freed from the consequences of the se questration. The Parlament° of Turin of the 17th states from Flo rence that the international committee for the construc tion of the railway of Central Italy. that is now sitting at Modena, is getting the line now surveyed, and that the works are to commence very shortly. The share holders have already complained very loudly of the de lay, and the second instalment of one-twentieth has been refused upon 18,000 shares. The Giornale di Roma of the 3d publishes a decree of the Congregation of the Index condemning six new works, viz. :—" Critical Observations on the Gospel," by Bianchi Giovani ; " Motives which have induced me to leave the Roman Church," by Trivier ; "The Situa tion of the Galilean Church with respect to the ' Droit Coutumier,' a pamphlet addressed to the Episcopacy of France ; "Instituti o ns o f D ogma ti c Theology," by the Abbe Criscuoli ; "Defence of the authority of Go vernment against the pretensions of the Court of Rome," by Francisco Vigil, Lima, 1852 ; and "An Address to Pope Pins IX., on the necessity of Religious Reform," by the Abbd Thions. The latter, it is added, has made his submission. Sir Thomas Herbert said he never heard of Capt. Richards' letter until he heard of it in this committee. That letter might be construed into a censure upon the superintendent, who, possibly from the wording of it, might be unaware to whom he was indebted for it, whether to the board or to the secretary. To Sir B. Hall—The first time he saw the eirealar-of-the 19th of April was when the subject of what had taken place between Admiral Parker, the surveyor, and Mr. Stafford was brought before the board, and when he saw the circular of the 26th of April sent out he believed the general intentions of the circular of 1847 would be carried out. Admiral Hornby was one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and had the control of all matters relating to the discipline of the dockyards, and he held a letter from that gallant officer, which he would read to the committee. Sir T. Herbert read the letter, but in so low a tone that it was with exceeding difficulty even the purport could be ga thered. The letter stated that during the period of his (Ad miral Hornby's) continuance in office, neither Admiral Parker nor Sir B. Walker ever consulted with him upon any matters relative to the dockyard appointments, nor had Sir B. Walker complained of being annoyed at anything done by Mr. Staf ford, nor had any superintendent of any dockyard complained to him of any irregular interference on the part of Mr. Staf ford as to appointments or the internal arrangements of the dockyards. Sir T. Herbert further stated, that having heard Captain Dundas say that he had received a letter from the Secretary to the Admiralty relating, as the committee in ferred, to the Greenwich election, he could only remark that he was not aware of any such communication, nor did he know anything of the sailing order of the Black Eagle or her visit to Devonport. Mr. Stafford did not communicate to the board his intention of visiting Devonport or Portsmouth, nor was he (Sir T. Herbert) aware of any duties which the Secre tary of the Admiralty had to perform in those ports in April and June last year. Mr. Armedroz, of the Admiralty, stated that the formal commencement of every letter in reply to another was, " Having laid your letter before my Lords," &c., although the Board might never have seen the letter at all. The secre tary had no power to write anything in his own name, but he had the discretion of selecting what communications ho should bring before the Board. Sir T. Herbert explained that he had signed Cotsell's appointment as master smith at Portsmouth, it having been regularly brought before him, and he knew nothing of the case. If it had been in his own department, he should have considered himself personally responsible, but as it was in Mr. Stafford's department, he signed his name as a matter of course. It is stated that the Austrian Embassy at Rome is about to be replaced on its original splendid footing. An Ambassador will be appointed, and a regular service of couriers will be re-established which will bring dispatches every week to the Austrian Ambassadors at the different Courts of Italy, as was done before 1848. Mr. John Fincham, master shipwright at Portsmouth, was next examined. He said that up to 1852, Taylor was the master smith at that dockyard. Witness had visited Wool wich dockyard, and did not think any improvements had been effected in consequence of the employment of men from the private trade. He had also visited Chatham, where Cotsell had brought the smitheries into a superior state. Ho thought an examination of all applicants for promotion was desirable. Ho could see no objection to the promotion of a man to the head of his department in a yard where he had filled inferior grades, and in his own person he was an in stance, having served In Portsmouth dockyard in several inferior capacities. Sir B. Walker was then called, and reminded by tho Chair man of his statement on the first day, that Mr. Stafford had alluded to certain pressure upon him by members of the Government. Tho committee, having received letters upon that subject from Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, wished to know whether Sir B. Walker was certain as to the details of a conversation held so long ago. Sir B. Walker—l am positive that upon two different occa sions Mr. Stafford used these expressions—" There is no use blinking the question ; I am so pressed by Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer that I cannot help myself." These expressions were again repeated in the presence of Ad miral Parker, during an interview with him upon the subject of my resignation. As I was most anxious not to bring any thing before the committee which I could not prove, a day or two before the first meeting I requested Admiral Berkeley to ask Admiral Parker whether ho had any objection to my reading to him that part of my statement referring to what took place in his presence. I went to Admiral Parker's room in company with Admiral Berkeley, and read from the paper I now hold in my hand. (The statement which has been already published was read.) Admiral Parker said ho recollected the interview, and Admiral Berkeley asked, was it possible that Mr. Stafford could have been so imprudent as to use those words? to which Admiral Parker replied—" He certainly did." In reply to questions from Sir B. Hall, the gallant officer said, at the interviews with Admiral Parker and Mr. Staf ford, which he believed was on April 23, Admiral Parker had his letter tendering his resignation in his hand, but there was no further discussion upon that subject beyond his (Sir B. Walker) saying that, having tendered his resignation, it was for the Board to decide upon its acceptance. When the in terview closed, Mr. Stafford went up to Admiral Parker as if to take the letter, but he could not say whether he did so or not. _ _ f business in iralty, respect described to the te minutes he e o s f e the o Mr. Penne t l L of offi th c e e A w dri th then to the record department. There was an entry of the • • in the first book, in which it was stated that Board. The minute was first sent to the pr4eis writer, and original order the surveyor had been made acquainted with the circular of the 19th of April. It appeared there was no entry of the record department, but that did not prove it had never reached there, as it might have been withdrawn thence upon the commencement of the present proceedings, before it had been indexed. Sir B. Walker said he had no recollection of receiving any notice of the circular of April 19 ; and Mr. Eden, an officer in his department at Somerset-house, stated that he had searched, but had been unable to find any such notice. Mr. Stafford was then invited by the Chairman to explain certain portions of his former statement, and, firstly, with re spect to the circular of the 19th of April, which he had said was caused by the conviction that men were passed over in the dockyards from political motives, and had quoted the case of Ridgway as a strong one. Mr. Stafford repeated that he did not consider the case of Ridgway was a violation of the orders of 1847, which di rected that all recommendations for promotion should come from the superintendents of tho yards. Captain Richards had not recommended Ridgway, but the appointment was made because he was next in seniority. He was not aware 7 -. 6 [PitICE SD. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.

VESSELS WEECKED.—By a return yesterday issued it appears, according to Lloyd's books, that during the five years ending the sth of January last, the number of vessels wrecked or lost on the coast of Ireland was 447. In 1848 the nudea was 93102. in 1849, 89 ; 1850, 107; in 185 1 , 56 ; in 1852, GERMANY. It is stated that several German Governments are about to send a mission at their common expense to America, in order to obtain information on the subject of emigration. The Grand Duchy of Baden has taken the initiative in the negotiations on the affair. The Magdeburg Gazette has the following from Dessau, dated the sth :—" Domiciliary visits were made here this morning, the motive assigned for them being parti cipation in plots against the surety of the State. In par ticular search was made for the tickets of a lottery of pictures set on foot at the commencement of 1850 in aid of the Swiss refugees. A certain number of these tickets was disposed of here. The courts of law and the police had nothing whatever to do with these visits ; they were a purely administrative measure." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the sth are destitute of news of interest. The ministry was still incomplete, but M. Sartorius (Count de San Luis) was spoken of for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Marquis de Viluma was, it was said, likely to succeed the Marquis do Val degamas as ambassador at Paris. General Narvaez had, it was stated, formally expressed the desire to return to his seat at Loja without entering Madrid. Orders had been received at Cadiz to fit out the war steamer Pizarro with all dispatch for a government mission ; some per sons believed that it was destined to go to Mexico— others, to proceed to Italy to convey the King of Bavaria to Spain. The latter version was considered the more probable. The Stock Exchange was not open on the sth, being Ascension Day. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, 1-30 A.M. By the steamer Arctic we have advices from New York to the 30th ult. She has brought 208 passengers, and 51,876$ in specie. She passed the steamer Baltic, from Liverpool, on the Ist, 190 miles from New York. The steamer Parana arrived at Boston on the 29th. Among the passengers by the Aretic is Martin Van Buren ex-President of the United States, and his son. The steam-ships Uncle Sam and Georgia had arrived at New York from California, the former with $640,000 the latter with $2,062,350 in gold dust. Their advices have, however, been anticipated. From Washington there is nothing of special interest to report. Late accounts from Panama state that a British vessel of war had arrived there from San Blas with $700,000 in silver, on English account, on board. Telegraphic accounts from New Orleans state that the steamer Texas had arrived there, with late accounts from Vera Cruz. News of the occupation of the Mecilla valley by the Governor had reached the city of Mexico on the Bth ult., and caused great excitement. A determination was expressed to drive out the Americans at the point of the bayonet, and an armed force was to be dispatched immediately for that purpose. On the 9th a delegation of Mexican authorities waited upon Judge Conkling, the American Minister, and made a solemn protest against the proceedings of Governor Lane.

MONEY IN THE DEAD-LETTER OFFICE.—It is esti mated that there lies, from time to time, in the Dead- Letter Office, undergoing the process of finding owners, some 11,0001. annually, in cash alone. On the 17th of July, 1847, there wore lying in the Dead-Letter Office bills of exchange for the immense sum of 40,410/. COUNT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, TUESDAY. The Queen drove out in the grounds yesterday after noon. The Royal children also took their usual exercise. The Earl of Clarendon is expected to arrive to-day, on a visit to her Majesty.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has issued invitations for a full dress dinner on the 24th inst. in celebration of her Majesty's birth-day, at his residence in Downing street. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yester day. The Lords present were—the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, the Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, Sir J. Patteson, and Sir Edward Ryan. An appeal was heard from Bengal, " Mottylol Seal v. Dent and others." THE LATE DUKE OF TVELLINGTON'S WILL, In consequence of the determination of the Earl of Derby, the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli (the late Chancellor of the Exchequer), and the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre (the Speaker of the House of Commons), to renounce the executorship of the late Duke of Wellington s will, letters of administration were granted by the Prero gative Court of the province of Canterbury, on the sth instant, to his son, the present duke, and his grace has since accepted the trust. The will seems to have been written under very peculiar circumstances, upwards of 35 years ago, and with that promptitude and decision which marked almost every act of his grace's life ; but at the same time displays evident traces of the agitation under which it was drawn up. The will is dated February 17, 1818, and was written in Paris by the Duke himself, who accounts for that circumstance in the following remark which forms the preamble :—" An attempt having been made to assassinate me on the night of the 10th inst. (Feb. 10, 1818), which may be repeated with success, and being desirous of settling my worldly affairs, and there being no professional person in Faris to whom I can entrust the task of drawing my will, I now draw it myself in my own handwriting." His grace then directs that an annuity of 1,0001. shall be paid to his second son, Lord Charles Wellesley, who, however, has the option o f c l a i m i ng a sum of 20,0001. as an equivalent. Apsley House, and the fur niture therein, money invested in the funds and Exchequer Bills, are thus to be disposed of :—The money is directed to be laid out in the purchase of an estate, which, together with Apsley House and its contents, are given to the pre sent duke for life, with remainders over to his issue, and, in default of issue, to Lord Charles Wellesley, and his issue in like manner. In case of the death of both (the present duke and Lord Charles Wellesley), without heirs male, the property passes over to the descendants of the brothers of the late duke. Certain personal estate, which his grace designates as " money given me by the nation," or any estates which may be purchased with such money, are directed to pass, under trusts very similar to those of the foregoing property, Apsley House first going to the children of the duke, and on their deaths, leaving no issue, to the children of his brothers. The wording of the will is very involved, and the residue, which, owing to the lapse of time, must have greatly accumulated is umlis posed of. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Sir Robert was a very old and distinguished officer. He entered the army in 1797, and served during the Irish rebellion of 1798 ; was at the capture of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806, whence he proceeded on Lord Beresford's staff to South America, and was actively engaged in the operations before Buenos Ayres, in which he was taken prisoner and detained for 13 months. Sir Robert shared in the brilliant victories of the Peninsula, and received the gold cross and three clasps for Busaco, Albuera, Badajoz, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse, besides which he was at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, and a number of other actions. COURT or ALDERMEN.—Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. After the Clerk of the Court had read the official account of the proceedings of the Court of Common Council on Saturday last. Alder man Copeland took the opportunity afforded by the notice of the course pursued by that branch of the cor poration on the occasion of the invitation given by the Committee of the Great Industrial Exhibition of Dublin, to express his regret that the other Court had declined the honour. He moved " that the invitation be accepted." Sir John Key seconded the motion. After some dis cussion the previous question was, upon the motion of Alderman Wire, carried. Sir R. Carden remarked that he had at a former court presented a memorial from Captain Inglefield, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Morgan, a broker, in some share transactions. He now had a petition from Mr. Morgan in answer to the repre sentations of Captain Inglefield. He had been requested to present the petition, which the petitioner said con tained a complete answer. It was ultimately arranged that Sir R. W. Carden should bring forward the ques tion after having given formal notice of his intention. The appointmentment of a governor and a chaplain to the New Prison at Holloway will take place on Friday next. The Court then adjourned. THE AUTHORESS OP " UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AND THE MARRIGE QUESTION.—Mrs. Stowe having, in the " Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," spoken of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife in language intended to be ironical, but liable to be misunderstood as condem natory of such unions, has been requested to remove all doubt by a declaration of her opinion. The follow ing letter has been received in reply :—" Edinburgh, April 27, Dear Sir,—The question was discussed ex tensively in the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and the New School Body (as it is called) gene rally held to the propriety of such marriages. I did then, and still do, coincide with them in that opinion. Very respectably yours, H. B. STOWE." A MINIATURE STEAMER.--Early in the summer of last year a small screw steamer was built of iron by Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, for the Maule River, South America. The vessel is named the Fosforo ; her register is 43 tons, and 40-horse power (engine by Mr. E. Humphries); depth of hold 6 feet, length over all 105 feet. She left this port on July the 17th, when she was loaded to a foot and-a-half of the water's edge. She was rigged as a three-masted schooner, and had no keel. The ship's company consisted of commander, two mates, two engineers, two firemen, and six men. The Fosforo arrived at Valparaiso on the 15th of November, having touched at Madeira, Rio Janeiro, and Montevideo, for the purpose of watering. The total consumption of coals, of various kinds, was 160 tons, equal to 138 tons of Welch coal. The passage occupied 121 days, 46 of which were under steam and sail, and 28 days under sail alone ' • having averaged 6 knots an hour all the way out. The remainder of the time was consumed at the various ports touched at, in coaling, and repairing some trifling accidents to the machinery, and at anchor through stress of weather in the Straits of Magellan. The Fos foro is the smallest steamer that ever performed so long a voyage.— Liverpool Chronicle.

(Before Baron Alderson) CHILD MURDER. • , Mary Anne Gi.;.ein, 22, spinster, who was remandca from the last sessions, was indicted for the wilful mur der of James Griffin, her infant child. . Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bal. lantyne appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a domestic servant in the house of Mr. Hart, of Gloucester-place, in whose service she had been about twelve months. On the 27th of February she was taken unwell, and was unable to join the servants at dinner. There had been nothing previously in her condition to lead to the suspicion that she was enceinte ; but, on some of her fello w-servantsgoing into her bedroom they found that she had been delivered of child, for a male infant was lying on the floor near the fireplace, and she was herself on the bed in a state of great exhaustion. The infant was alive ; but on examin ing it, a jagged wound was discovered on its throat, and it seemed to have been done with some blunt instrument, and a pair of scissors covered with blood was found in the room. On being questioned on the subject, she said she did not know what she was about, and that she had intended to throw herself, as well as the child, into the Serpentine. The child lived 11 days after birth, and the prisoner suckled it and treated it with great kindness. Though she had concealed her condition, she had made preparations for her confinement. Several articles of baby linen being found in her room, as well as at her mother's house. Mr. Ballantine addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that in consequence of a fall the birth took place some time before sine expected it would, and that the wound was caused by accident, while en• deavouring to deliver herself of the child. Mr. Baron Alderson having summoned up the twig donee, The jam► acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. rdieard (Before the Re cor de r. ) Wilder, 23, labourer, was indicted for steal ing a quantity of oats, the property of James Daily , his master, and A aron Buckland, 23, tinman, and Edmund und Buckland, 17, labourer, were indicted for feloniously receiving them. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Lilley and Mr. Ro binson de fended.red t thai . prosecutor is a f armer i n the i _ a _ p _ p.e neighbourhood of Harmondsworth, Middlesex, and Wilder, who was his os tl er, had been in the habit of stealing his master's horse feed, and upon the occasion giving rise to this indictment had tied up a quantity of oats in a handkerchief, which the Bucklands were seen carrying away. The constable, who saw this, stopped them, and asked where they got them. One of them said he did not know, and the other said from Wilder, the ostler, who had given them to him. This turned out to be true, for according to the statement of the witnesses, they had them given to him in a public-house by Wilder, and the only question which arose was whether they did not know them to have been stolen, Wilder being, t o their knowledge, prosecutor's ostler, and the oats being I of the most expensive description, and used for the feed of racehorses, of which the prosecutor is a breeder and trainer. The two Bueklands were tinkers, travelling with a donkey. The Recorder said there was no case against the Buck lands' and the jury had not returned a verdict aga i ns t Wilder when we went to press. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) John Watkins, 27, pawnbroker, was indicted for embezzling various sums of money from his master, Mr. Attenborough, the pawnbroker of Fleet-street. The prisoner pleaded guilty. In answer to the court, the prosecutor said that the prisoner had been some years in his service, and was a most clever shopman. The greatest confidence was placed in him, which he had abused most grossly, and robbed him to a great extent. The Common Sergeant said it was a bad case, and transported him for seven years. MARLBOROUGH -STREET-(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTING TO EXTORT MONEY FROM THE CHAN CELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.— William Wilson, 24, Belvedere-road, commercial traveller, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with following and attempting to extort money and place from the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exche quer. by threatening the hon. gentleman with immoral conduct. The Hon. Gentleman, on being sworn, said—The de fendant seeing me in conversation with a young woman, who was waking by my side, just below Coventry -street and Oxenden-street, last night, about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, came up and began to use words which I could not well understand, upon which this girl expressed alarm, and laid hold of my left arm. I told her she need not be afraid, nothing would occur to her. She had already told me where she lived, and I advised her to go home, and I walked along with her. The prisoner then addressed me by name, saying he would expose me. I proceed e d onwar d, and he followed me the young woman still expressing great alarm. When we came to a door which she said was her door (I believe it was in King-street, Soho, but was not certain), ; she then ran in, and I desired the prisoner to , leave me, which he refused to do. I walked on, and turned one way and another, to get free of him, but he kept close to me, stating that he admired my public cha racter much, and had long observed me, that he must ,now expose me, that he would do this in the Morning Herald this day, and among the whole of the Conserva tive party. With these threats, he mingled a statement that he did not wish to do me any harm, and that if I would make it right with him, or give him a good ap pointment at Somerset-house or elsewhere his lips should be closed. In answer to this—being I fear angry-- I charged him with being a liar, and I used more than once the expression, int he should not have from me either a sixpence, or a situation, and that if he did no t l eave me I must appeal to the police for protection. The prisoner stated he would not do that, and that he would give me in charge of the police. He then said he would be contented if I would allow him to write me a letter, to which I an swered, " Sir, do exactly as you please," repeating my former words about not giving him either a sixpence or a situation. All this, with more similar matter, was re peated again and again, for some time, while I was walk ing, and in the hope of seeing a police constable. I saw none till, having tried Regent-street, I came into Sack ville-street, when I saw 187 C. I stated to him my desire to be rid of the prisoner, and the con stable told me to go to the station. I did so, and made the charge. On the way to the station he repeated the suggestion that I had better accede to what he had offered for my own sake. I told him that any act of mine I had no wish to conceal, and that he was not justified in imputing to me the intention on which he had founded his claim ; an intention which, being upon my oath , I most solemnly d eny. Inspector arkes C division, after proving receiving the charge, stated that the prisoner, in reply thereto, made a statement, which he took down in writing, and now produced, and of which the subjoined is a copy. William Wilson, 24 Belvede e road, Lambeth, com mercial traveller, states that about half-past twelve on the 11th inst. he saw Mr. Gladstone addressing a lady of his acquaintance, in Panton-street, Hay market, and they immediately turned down Panton street, and walked about 50 yards down the first turn ing in Panton-str2et, and then made their way across Coventry-street and Princes-street, where he charged Mr. Gladstone with being in company with the lady above alluded to. He then said he had no desire to make an exposure of one he so much admired, and whose cha racter was known to be so unspotted and pure, and that he might take it as a moral proof from one so humble as Mr. Wilson ; and, further said, if Mr. Gladstone would procure him a situation that he would not expose him, and, if not, he would communicate Mr. Gladstone's conduct to the Morning Herald newspaper, and also charged Mr. Gladstone r. with Gladstone being cal witht i h e e d lady him a in question, upon which Mr. liar, toa ultimatelywrite dtehm a letter about i illGla o d u s t a tonseitgLatnio.tedn him permis sion To this statement the prisoner attached his L signature. Inspector Parkes further stated that the prisoner said it did not matter to him what would be the result, if it was even transportation, so long as his name was asso• ciated with a person so great as Mr. Gladstone, who was one of the greatest men of the day. The defendant, in reply to the charge, had no desire to put any questions, and would endorse the paper read by the inspector. His character would bear the strictest investigation, and he was sorry for what he had done. ungdhetdto him made in Mr. Bingham—ls the defendant kno wn to the police Does he live at the address h e g ave ?
