MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Oct. 6. MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES. The court sat to-day at Clerken well to hear applications for the renewal of old and the granting of new licenses for music and dancing, under the act 25th Geo. 11., c. 36. Mr. Pownall, the chairman of the County Bench, was in the chair, and for the occasion the attendance of ma gistrates was very thin. The number of applications for the renewal of licenses granted under thitnew regulations for music only was 94, for the renewal of licenses for music and dancing 56 ; 86 applications were made for new licences for music only ; and 5 for both music and dancing—making the total number of applicants 241. The Chairman, before proceeding to the business of the day, said he had to make an observation or two to the pub licans in attendance in reference to these licenses. By the separation of the licenses as it was formerly granted, i. e., for public.music and dancing, and the granting of licenses to publicans for music only, a very great increase, as was naturally expected, had taken place in the number of applications for such licenses, and in making that dis tinction in the license the magistrates thought they were removing a very great inconvenience, and not only protecting the publican from the proceedings of the common informer, but promoting that which they much wished to see extended among the people—a taste for and a love of music• But they had no intention that every public-house to which a license was granted should be converted into a penny concert-room—the object of the bench being that the publican should have the means of providing musical entertainment to his regular customers, and he trusted that the publicans generally would, in the ensuing year, testify by the mode in which they used the license of the court their appreciation of the wishes of the bench. A publican who converted his house into a perry or twopenny concert room created a monopoly in the trade in his neighbourhood, which the bench wished to avoid, and by way of caution to those who in future might apply for licenses, he would say that if they went to expense in fitting up their houses as concert rooms, or providing extensive rooms where concerts such as he had alluded to might be given, such expense must be in curred at their own risk entirely, and the onus not thrown upon any refusal the bench might decide upon. The list was then proceeded with. In the applications for renewals there was but one refusal ; in the list of applications for the grant of new licenses for music only there were four refusals, and one was withdrawn ; and of the five applications for licenses for music and dan cing, only one was granted. THE CYDER CELLARS. The proprietor of the Cyder Cellars tavern, Maiden lane, Strand, was one of the applicants for a license for music only. Mr. Bodkin supported, Mr. Metcalfe opposed the ap plication. It appeared that the opposition originated with Mr. Horatio William Hall, describing himself as an attorney at-law of St. Martin's -court. In a petition against the application which he had lodged with the clerk of the peace, according to th e s t an d ing or d ers, h e complained that vocal and instrumental entertainments had been given at the Cyder Cellars, that establishment not being licensed ; that songs of an immoral tendency were sung there, and that the petitioner had brought an action against the applic an t t o recover pena l t i es un d er th e ac t for having given musical entertaiaments in an unlicensed place—which action was still pending. Some discussion took place as to the right of Mr. Metcalfe to be heard in support of a petition emanating from a person who had nothing t o d o e ith er w i t h th e h ouse in question or the locality it was situate in, and who, moreover, was not present in court, no answer being returned when his name was called. Mr. Bodkin observed that Mr. Hall was nothing but a common informer ; he had brought actions for penalties under this act, and had offered, as could be proved, to abandon them for money. Mr. Metcalfe (the chairman having ruled that ho could be heard) addressed the bench in opposition to the application. He urged that if the allegations in the pe tition were true, the Cyder Cellars was not a place which the court would grant a licence to. In violation of the law, and in defiance of the court, musical entertainments had been given, and it was no reason that the bench, because a person had brought an action against the ap plicant to recover a penalty which the act declared had been incurred, under the circumstances should grant him a licence to sanction his proceedings. Mr. Hall was, he was instructed, an attorney, but his name was too late for insertion in this year's " Law List." He had lodged his petition, and he thought that proceeding, was sufficient, which was the reason that he (Mr. Met calfe) was not prepared to prove the allegation in the petition. The manager of the Cyder Cellars, in answer to the chairman, stated that the only " scenic representations" there were an old coat and hat, &c., occasionally worn by the comic singer, and the nature of the songs sung related to the passing events of the day—they had a comical turn, but were not, he should think, objection able. In answer to the question whether indecent songs were not sung there, he said there were two con structions to be put upon that ; it depended upon what was considered an indecent song. He thought they were not indecent. The license was granted. Mr. Hall was a petitioner against several applications, and it appeared that he bad brought no less than three actions against one publican, and had obtained a judg ment for 1001. Great satisfaction was expressed at the free manner in which the bench granted the licenses on this occasion. The only condition imposed on the new applicants was, that they should not make any charge for admission t o the rooms were the musical entertainment was provided, and one person met with a refusal becauso he said he intended to make a charge for admission. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.— Thomas Magrath was charged before the Lord Mayor with having brutally treated his wife. The prisoner bad been brought up on a former day for examination, but his wife was then in such a condition that the house surgeon of the hospital to which she had been conveyed for the treatment of her wounds would not allow her to be removed. The certificate stated that the unfortunate woman had been brought into the hospital with " lacerated wounds of the fore head and lip and injury to the nose." The prisoner was put to the bar, and the name of Julia Magrath, his wife, was called, but there wa, no answer. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody, said the woman had diicharged herself the night before from the hospital, and could not be found. There was no doubt of her intention to absent herself. The Lord Mayor desired to be informed of the cir cumstances. A statement was then made to the effect that a scream was heard by a man, who ran to the spot from which it issued, and saw a female bleeding in the arms of another, and the prisoner running away. Having learned that the runaway was the woman's assailant, the stranger secured him, and gave him into the custody of an officer, and the wife was taken to the hospital. The prisoner, who upon being first brought up, said his wife had been drinking, and that her fall upon the ground, by which her face had been lacerated, was caused by intoxication, said not a word upon the pre sent occasion. The Lord Mayor said the prisoner must pay a fine of 20 shillings, or suffer imprisonment with hard labour for 21 dayF. William. Clark, who was on the previous day charged with having stolen a half-crown, the property of his masters, Messrs. Adam, Pickford, and Co., of Leaden hall-street, merchants, was again brought before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Ashley, instructed by the friends of the prisoner, requested that the Lord Mayor, instead of sending the case to a jury, would give summary judgment, sanc tioned as his lordship would be in adopting that course by the act of Parliament. The Lord Mayor said he could not in such a case con sidered himself justified in proceeding to summary con viction without the consent of Messrs. Adam, Pickford, and Co., whose confidence had been so grievously abused by the prisoner. One of the firm here stepped forward, and said he be lieved that the ends of justice would be satisfactorily at tained by the Lord Mayor's summary decision. The Lord Mayor then addressed the prisoner and said • In the hope that this has been your first serious of fence, and that you will make every effort upon leaving prison to regain your character, I shall not send you to be tried at the Central Criminal Court, where no doubt you would meet with a very heavy punishment, but shall send you to the House of Correction to hard labour for two calendar months. GUILDHALL. —Edward John Pickering, described in the police sheet as an artist, who was remanded from Monday last, was again placed at the bar, before Alder man Muggeridge, charged with obtaining a bill of ex change for 6001. under false pretences. Mr. H. F. Wood, who appeared, as before, for the prosecution, said that on the last examination it was stated the bill in question was in the hands of a Mr. Kerr, and it would be forthcoming on a future day; but since the remand, two similar bills that were mentioned in the course of Monday's examination had been re turned, and the one that formed the ground for the pre sent charge was still withheld by Mr. Kerr, who, it had been alle g ed, h a d a d van ced the prisoner money upon it, and therefore refused to give it up ; but he (Mr. H. F. Wood) had since ascertained that the bill was in the hands of a Mr. Corbet Cooke, of 3, Tuften-street, West minster. Mr. Kerr had been summoned, but was not in attendance. Alderman Muggeridge said the charge appeared to as sume a different form, and he would like to hear the officer's evidence as to what had taken place since the last examination. Daniel May said he saw Mr. Kerr on Monday, and he admitted having the bill for 600/., and said he had slot advanced any money upon it, and would give up. Wit ness cautioned him to be particula r in returning it to the right owner. The case was remanded for him to do so, as he stated in court that the bill was in the hands of a party at Brighton, whither he would have to go for it. Witness saw Mr. Kerr again on Tuesday, and he then said he had advanced 201. on the bill, and he should have to go that night to Brighton to get it ; but when wit ness left the summons for him, his wife made quite ajest of the matter, and said he had not been to Brighton, un less, indeed, he called his own house Brighton. Witness said he left the summons for Mr. Kerr at Hans-place, Sloane-street, Chelsea, and since thin he had received various applications in other cases against the prisoner, all of which were bill transactions ; he therefore wished for a further remand. He had a bill for 29/.los.,dra - .an by Robert Powell, and accepted by Richard Hustler, which had been given up to him since the last examina tion. Alderman Muggeridge said as there appeared to be another party connected with the prisoner there was suf ficient to induce him to remand the prisoner, not on the charge of obtaining the bill under false pretences, for there was not evidence enough to support it, but fur conspiring to cheat Mr. Scott of the bill in question. Mr. H. F. Wood suggested that Mr. Hodges, the dis tiller of Lambeth, should be in attendance to negative the prisoner's allegation concerning him. The prisoner said he never said Mr. Hodges, the dis tiller, was the person he intended to discount the bill— it was Mr. Hodges of Carlton-hill. Alderman Muggeridge said it had been sworn to that prisoner stated Mr. Hodges of Lambeth was the person he alluded to to discount the bill, and it would be as well to have that gentleman present on the next examination. Daniel May said the prosecutor and a Mr. Evans, of 3, Lowndes-terrace, Knightsbridge, were both claiming the bill he held. He wished to know what to do with it. Alderman Muggeridge re commended the officer to keep the bill for the present. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. John Watery, residing at No. 20, Adam-street, Rotherhithe, was summoned for know ingly permitting offensive filth to remain in his houses, Nos. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, Maypole alley, in the parish of St. George's Southwark, so as to he injurious to the health of persons living on the pre mises and in the neighbourhood. The defendant said he wanted to alter it, but he could not do it as quickly as be wished, as he could not get the iron pans and traps made. He had put down earthen ones, but the tenants had broken them, consequently he was compelled to order iron ones to be made in the north of England. Mr. Uombe said he could not allow such a dangerous nuisance to exist any longer in that densely-populated neighbourhood. He should make an order for its removal, giving the defendant the required notice of 48 hours. If the nuisance was not abated by that time, the officers would immediately see it removed at once, and all the expenses would fall upon him. He hoped, however, that the defendant would see the necessity of going about it directly, and thereby save the lives of the poor persons inhabiting his houses. The defendant promised to remove the filth and cleanse the places immediately, and the order stood over for 48 hours. Mary Barber, a masculine-looking young woman, was brought up on a warrant, charged with assaulting Den nis Clark, 103 M, in the execution of his duty. The officer, who had a black eye, said, on Saturday evening he went into Gun-street, Friar-street, to appre hend a burglar, named Gardener, who associated with the prisoner, and he caught a glimpse of him in her house. He then went with the intention of apprehend. ing him, when the prisoner seized hold him (witness) by the throat, and struck him with her right hand in the eye. In the struggle he lost the man he went after, and the prisoner made her escape into the house. She was a very desperate character, and an associate of thieves of the worst description. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that she knew nothing of the man, and all she did was to pre vent the officer from entering her house, as she had done nothing wrong. She could not tell how he got the black eye, as she had no recollection of striking him, being drunk at the time. The magistrate asked whether she was intoxicated ? The constable replied that she had been drinking, but knew what she was about well enough. The magistrate said that officers must be protected in their duty, and as she had aided in the escape of a thief, as well as assaulted the complainant, ho should sentence her to one month's hard labour in the House of Correction. THAMES.—John Sullivan, who is a serang or chief of the Asiatic crew of the ship General Sale, bound to Sydney, and an Irish woman about 35 years of age, named Ann Sullivan, who said she was his wife, were charged with the manslaughter of another Lascar, name unknown, by withholding from him proper food end necessaries. Mr. John James Swallow said he was an agent to a Mr. Wilkins, and collected the rents of 11 small houses in Victoria-place, Victoria•street, Shadwell. No. 2 was occupied by the prisoners. On Wednesday night the woman called upon him and said that she and her husband were going to Sydney next morning, and she would be obliged by his calling very early next day for the rent. He accordingly went to the house at nine o'clock that morning and found that they had gone, and had taken everything with them, but on entering the front room on the upper floor he discovered a Lascar in the agonies of death, and without any clothing, except an old jacket and a piece of flannel. The unfortunate creature was huddled upon the floor in an old mat, and his legs were quite bare. He informed the police, and the poor fellow was removed to the workhouse, where he died ten minutes after his admission. The body was in a most appalling condition, for it was reduced to a perfect skeleton, and covered with filth. He attributed the man's death to cold and hunger. Witness saw the prisoner on Wednesday evening at six o'clock. The General Sale was to have left the St. Katherine Dock for Sydney that morning, but her sailing was deferred until Friday morning. Mr. Daniel Ross, surgeon, had no doubt that the de ceased had been grossly neglected, but until there had been a post mortem, examination he could not state accu rately the cause of death. The female prisoner, who spoke for herself and the sera,n,g her husband, said they were not aware the Lascar was goinf , to die so soon, and they went on board the General Sale ' because she was to leave the dock that day. Mr. Ingham—Could the Lascar have walked about yesterday, Mr. Ross ? Mr. Ross—Certainly not, sir. Mr. Ingham- -Then I shall remand the prisoners to the House of Detention. EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY. The most extensive robbery which has occurred in Glasgow for a long series of years, and one perpetrated under most daring circumstances, was brought to light just on the eve of its successful accomplishment. It ap nears that during the night two thieves, who must have long contemplated and planned the robbery, found ac cess, by means of previously prepared keys, to the ware house of Messrs Campbell and Co., in Buchanan-street. Immediately below was situated the shop of Mr. D. C. Bait, whose stock, of jewellery is, perhaps, the most ex tensive in . Scotland. They first cut up the'floor of the warehouse, but here the progress of the burglars was arrested by strong iron plates, inserted as a means of security between the floor and the roof of the shop below. Foiled at this spot, the thieves proceeded to the fire place, and by dint of great exertions, lifted up the hearth stone, after which they sawed through the joists, broke in the plaster, and then by means of a rope ladder, descended to Mr. Bait's shop. Here, by means of a dark lantern, they had ample time to make a selection of the most precious articles in the shop —which they did—consisting of diamond rings, bracelets, gold chains, brooches, lockets, and other arti cles of a like kind, to the value of 3,0001. The plunder was carefully deposited in a japanned leather handbag : and they had ascended from the shop by the rope-ladder which they left behind, had traversed Campbell's ware house, descended the stairs, and were close upon the iron-grated door leading to the street, of which they possessed the false key, and only required to open it to get clear off with their booty. It so happened, how ever, that the private watchman attached to the court had, some little time before, opened the iron gate lead ing to the stair, and, after locking it behind him, stumped upstairs (for he had a wooden leg) ; but hear ing a noise at Messrs. Campbell's door, which he had already passed, he returned, and, from a recess on the stair, the two men confronted him. One of them in stantly seized him by the throat, threw him down, and attempted to cover his mouth with his hand. This the old man resisted, and bawled out so lustily that he at tracted the notice of a day police-officer, who happened luckily to be passing along Buchanan-street at the mo ment. He made his appearance at the grated door, when the burglars, seeing that their position had become dangerous, rushed upstairs, and sprang into the court from a window about 16 feet high. They imme diately took to their heels, and, as the streets were quite still at the time, one of them got clear off on pursued. The policeman, however, gave chase to the other, who dashed up Buchanan-street, thence into Queen-street, and sprang into a passage, with the view of getting into Miller-street ; but here he was brought to a stand by a shut gate, and captured. The little bag containing the plunder was found on the stair of the warehouse from which the men made their escape, and in the pocket of the prisoner was found the key which opened it. The prisoner is a smart and most genteel looking young Englishman, and gives the name of Jackson. He had been stopping for some weeks in one of the principal hotels in the city. He has been iden tified as having paid several visits to Mr. Rait's shop, where he made small purchases, and, no doubt, his lengthened stay in Glasgow, where he is an entire stranger, had been for the purpose of maturing the plans of the robbery. His luggage, consisting principally of fashionable clothing, had been removed to the Caledo than railway terminus yesterday, and he would, of course, have gone off along with his associate by the two o'clock afternoon train that day to London, had all gone well with the pair. There were a hundred chances against the robbery being discovered till Monday moen ing, and by that time the thieves would have been safe with their plunder in the metropolis. From hotel bills found in his possession, it appears that Jackson has of late resided from time to time in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Southampton, and Portsmouth.

MAIDSTONE, Oct. 3.—The accounts daily received from the hop districts confirm, in a greater or less de gree, the fact, that the yield this year will be much less than even the least sanguine anticipated. It is really surprising to hear how short the best grounds come down, and the slack bine is so extensive through Mid Kent, that good quality hops must fetch high prices. The Canterbury hop plantation is much short of last year's produce, and the planters are talking of very long prices—something approaching to 1823 and 1825. We should not be surprised to find the duty below 120,0001. We select the following returns as samples of the whole : ASH Oct. 3.—Hop-pickingis general, but they come down short of expectation. There cannot be more than one-half of last year's crop, which, with the extra acre age, will make the duty about 130,0001. BEARSTED, Oct. I.—The pickinc , is going on rapidly, but, like the r es t o f th e neighbouring' parishes, they come down short of expectation. Th e fi ne pi ece o f hops on the Church Farm, set by some of your correspondents two or three weeks ago at 15 cwt., and some 20 cwt. per acre, will fall - very short of that quantity. BRENCHLEY, Oct. 3.—Although the picking is going on, it is not satisfactory as to the quantity gathered, which is generally much short of what was expected at the commencement. We never knew so many hops to be picked at this late season of the year, and where the borough estimate is to be paid from we are at a loss to guess. THE SIITTONS, Oct. 3.—The hops continue to come down considerably short and of variable quality. TICEHURST, Oct. 3.—The hop-picking is progressing in this neighbourhood. and the general complaint is that they come down short of what was expected, and we fear bright samples will be scarce this year, as the effects of the late winds are very clearly to be seen. WEST FARLEIGH AND YALDING, OCt. I.—Picking is general, and. it is universally acknowledged that the hops come down considerably below expectation. The oldest planters were never more out of their iutment ; many even half. The duty will not, it is said, exceed 130,0001., and may fall below that. Some samples will be fine and good ; but the growth is, generally, far from good. Another week will, in most places, end the picking. whole year has been unkindly for vegeta tion ; this, :added to the late wet and wind, has rendered the crop of hops so small. STAPLEHTGRST, HOP FAIL—The annual hop fair for this district was held on Wednesday last, at the King's Head Inn. There was a good attendance of planters and fac tors, but little business was done in the early part of the day, as the growers were mindful of the result of last year's sales Here, and wanted more money than the Mer chants were inclined to give. An excellent dinner was served at two o'clock, by Mr. Butcher, the landlord, of which about 50 gentlemen partook. Mr. Anderson, of Horsmonden, presided ; the vice-chair being filled by Mr. Weston, of Cranbrook. When the cloth was re moved, the chairman said that as they were met there for business, he presumed that speeches would not be looked for ; but, as Englishmen, he must give them •` The Healtk of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family." The toast was heartily responded to. Business was then resumed. Mr. Beecher, of Brenchley, the first seller last year, sold some Weald of Kent Jones's for 101., refusing 11/. for another sample Mr. Simmonds, of Staplehurst, refused 141. for a fine sample of Goldings, which were not disposed of. Prices ranged generally, from 121. to 141. for Goldings ; from 101. to 121. for Jones's; and from 101. to 11/. for Grapes. There was no Colegates. The figures presented a re markable contrast to those quoted last year, when the highest price was only 41. The general impression of the planters seemed to be that the duty would not be more than 130,0001. or 135,0001. CRANBROOK FAlR.—This fair, which is the largest and most important for business transactions in the Weald of Kent, inasmuch as it is held in the very centre of the extensive hop-growing districts of Kent and Sussex (counties which are no less celebrated for their pure breed of stock and sheep than for their fine-flavoured hops), took place on Thur:day last (Michaelmas-day). The weather was very unropitious ; and this fact, com bined with that of its now being the middle of the hop gatherinc, season, prevented so str ong a muster o f farmers, &c., as we have sometimes seen. There was, however, a good sprinkling of hop-growers, factors, merchants, and dealers ; and we need scarcely add that hops were the all-engrossing topic of conversation. There was scarcely a grower but who was prepared with a few good samples • but there was evinced a v er y general disposition to hold back for better prices. There were some ordinary " Wealds" sold for from 91. to 101. per cwt. One gentleman, Mr. David Butler, of Mount Pleasant, in this parish, who invariably produces a fine sample, refused 101. 10s. on this occasion. These hops were superior in colour and quality, and there is but little doubt but they will fetch considerably more money. All our hops, however, are well grown, are free from mould, and every other impurity, and will, East Kents excepted, carry the crack this year. Opinion seemed generally to prevail against the realisation of 130,0001. duty. If such figures only are obtained, prices will be certainly better even than at present. We congratulate the growers on the happy turn which things seem to be taking. For the first time since the estalishment of free trade in corn, prospects are brightening up towards Kent and Sussex hop-growers ; and if Parliament would be ingenuous enough to strike the war charge on hops off the statute-book, we might " cheer, boys, cheer," in anticipation of the "good times coming" soon. As it is, however, the wind has got out of "due east," and the silvery lining of the cloud is already seen. It is a "long lane that has no turning," and the truth of the proverb was never more obviously manifest than it is now in the hop-growing districts of Kent and Sussex. Some of our smaller growers were approaching the edge of the precipice, and all appeals to the legislature to avert the impending ruin were unheeded ; but at length a ray of prosperity has changed the scene. We must not omit to mention the prize samples of hops exhibited in the window of Mr. G. Tye ; they were the " observed of all observers." Bright in colour, full of aromatic odour, rich in condition, medicinal in properties, supe rior in quality, and unsurpassed in management, it would have been impossible for this ornate show of our staple production not to have attracted attention, and excited the admiration even of connoisseurs. They will no doubt win "golden opinions" from the purchasers. There was an advance in price for all descriptions of corn ; and what little stock and sheep were supplied sold at about late rates. There were some fine cart colts exhibited in the horse fair, and some of these changed hands at very high prices. Prices for all sorts of agri cultural produce have not been higher for years. THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. On Wednesday afternoon the usual quarterly court of the governors and subscribers to this charity was held in the board-room of the hospital, Crane-court, Fleet street, for the purpose of transacting the ordinary busi ness of the corporation. Mr. Masson presided. Major ADAIR (the secretary) having read the minutes of the last court, stated that there were relieved, in July, 204 persons, at a cost of 1571. 19s. 2d. ; in August, 199, at a cost of 1541. 17s. 2d. ; and in September, 201, at a cost of 1521. 16s. 6d. The balance-sheet showed the total receipts (including a balance in hand on last St. Andrew's Day of 1591. 4s. 5d.) to amount to 2,6001. 14s. ld. ; and after all the necessary expenses had been defrayed, there was left a balance in hand of 2581. 2s. 9d. The secretary then read a report from the committee appointed at the last meeting, which stated that " after due deliberation the committee had come to the unani mous resolution to recommend to the next court the propriety of marking the meritorious services of Mai Adair in advancing the interests of the corporation, by transferring to him the right of a first-class pension." Dr. DICKSON, the report having been received, moved the following resolution :—" In order to mark the me ritorious services of Major Adair, their secretary, in advancing the interest of this corporation, resolved that an additional first-class pension, to be called the `Adair Pension,' be created, and that the sum of 101. to be set apart annually to answer such pension, over and above the sum of 1,0001. already appropriated towards the payment of pensions ; and resolved further to mark their opinion of these services, the right to recommend a fit and proper person to be the recipient of such pension be conferred on Major Adair, and that it be an instru c ti on to the committee of reli e f to give effect to such recom mendation." Mr. Rush recorded the resolution, and bore testimony to Major Adair's good wishes towards the hospital. Mr. Low moved and Mr. Reid seconded an amend ment, to the effect that the consideration of the motion be postponed to the next meeting, and that it be pro perly advertised. Mr. Morrison strongly supported the amendment, and stated that he would rather, if they wished to thank Major Adair, have a vot e of thanks passed him, which could be printed on vellum and exhibited in the hall. The chairman then put the amendment, which was lost, and the original motion was carried by a large majority. A. vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. THE NEW ROYAL: YACHT. The more we reflect upon the proposition that wa made to alter, extend, increase, improve, or whatever the new programme might have been termed, the Vic toria and Albert, the more we feel that it was most in judicious and erratic in every point of view. As we have before stated, the royal yacht was badly de signed, and worse built, and her career has been any thing but satisfactory or complimentary to British naval architecture. She has indeed lived upon sufferance, and her existence has been prolonged, we may say, by the nautical ingenuity that has been exhausted on her to make her commonly respectable. But, under all circum stances, she has finished her course as a royal yacht. She has grown obsolete. She has been costly, without elegance -altered, without any permanent improvement —painted and refitted, without adding to her symmetry —gilded and embellished, without curing her original defects in construction and accommodation, and years ago the Queen ought to have had a better floating palace—a ship more adapted to her Majesty's taste— more worthy of her Majesty's favourite pastime, the sur vey of the beautiful coasts of that island that acknow ledges her for its sovereign. The royal yacht has been annually surpassed in elegances of fittings, comforts at sea, and rate of speed, until at length a heavy two•decker almost leaves her in the lurch—a vessel propelled by the screw and without any unsightly paddle-boxes looking, in deed, a " thing of life." As we have said before, the Queen's yacht must be a modern one. She is not intended to fight. She must, therefore, be constructed of iron. She will thus be more wholesome—with none of those noxious amend hat haunted the old yacht and clung round her sides—more smooth and clean in app9arance, more buoyant, and, at the same time, with more stability. She must also have the modern appliances of propulsion —the screw, instead of the lugubrious paddle-wheels. The Queen has never yet experienced the agreeable con trast of screw propulsion. The vessels her Majesty has been accustomed to have been that venerable abortion the Dwarf, now unsaleable, and the elegant tender-yacht Fairy. From the small draught of water, and the great steam-power of the latter a most disagreeable shaking has been felt on board the Fairy hitherto ; but with a draught of water exceeding 10 or 12 fee t there will be a less vibration in a new screw yacht than on board the Vic toria and Albert paddle-wheel steamer, and there will be the same absence of inconvenience as enjoyed on board the splendid 1,800-ton ships of the General Screw Steam Navigation Company. But in a screw-yacht the Queen will have a type, a model of her future navy. Again, she will have a real ship, either to be wafted across the water by the fresh breezes of the wind, or with a power sufficient to overcome the influence of wind and tide. The Queen will then have real sailors, for she will have a yacht rigged as a ship, and in a screw-yacht her Ma jesty will have more varied amusement and recreation than in a common paddle-wheel ship. We trust, then, that the country will give the Queen pf England the best sea-boat, the swiftest steamer, the fastest clipper, the most elegant and luxurious palace that the gratitude of a loyal people and the ingenuity of British science can produce. We must have no more make-shifts, no more cutting and contriving, and adap tation of furniture from one yacht to fit another. The Queen's yacht must excel everything that the Peninsular and Oriental Company has turned out—everything that they have in contemplation to fit out. The Queen must have a " bran new vessel," replete with every quality ; complete in all that may render her vessel the " pride of the ocean," and if the means are wanting, sure we aro that there is not a sailor afloat and ashore—officer and man—who would not give a day, a week, or a month's pay, or whatever may be necessary to make up the . difference between the cost of alteration of the old yacht and the construction of a new Victoria and Albert. —Morning Herald. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 6. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, after being lightened of all her contents, was to have been moved yesterday at mid-day, but, on the chains being started to unlash her, she showed so great an inclination to fall right over on her broadside that messages of terror were sent off to Rear-Admiral Fan sha we, who immediately ordered 50 tons of iron ballast to be put aboard, which was accordingly done before the riggers could attempt to move her. She was taken out of the basin to-day and into the north dock for alte ration. Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., superintendent of this dockyard, struck his flag this morning and proceeded on leave of absence for one month. The President, 50, Captaini3urridge, sailed from St. Helen's for Plymouth this morning. The Sutlej Indiaman and Devonshire American line of packet ship sailed to-day for their several destinations. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 6. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Stromboli, 6, Captain Robert Hall, sailed for Rio Janeiro this morning. The Queen, 110, Captain Mitchell, was towed into Hamoaze this morning by the Avon and Confiance steamers. The Agamemnon, 90, screw steam-ship, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, is gone from the Sound into Hamoaze to refit. The repairs of the Queen and of the Agamemnon are to be forwarded with all dispatch. The Valorous, 16, steam-frigate, Captain Buckle, was taking her powder out yesterday, preparatory to going up harbour, when the order was suddenly annulled, and the powder returned. Her officers and crew will be paid advance of wages to-day. CHATHAM, OCT. 0. The Euryalis, screw steam-frigate, 50 guns, built in this yard, and which was commenced on the 27th Oct., 1821, in the third dock, was floated out at two p.m. on the sth, in the presence of the Captain-Superintendent, Captain Peter Richards, C.B , and the other principal officers of the yard ; there were also several naval and military officers and civilians from the towns to witness the ceremony. It was considered a novelty for such a class ship to be launched, or rather floated out, without its being christened. It is a splendid built frigate. On her being brought alongside the shear-hulk, her launch ing draught of water forward was 18ft. 10 in. ; abaft, IBft. 3in. ; broke in launching, lift. She will lay in the river until next spring tides, when she will be taken into dock to be fitted and coppered. The following are her principal dimensions : Ft. in. Length between the perpendiculars, as shown on the sheer draught Length from foreside of stem at the maindeck to aftside of post at rudder-hole Length of the keel for tonnage lBO 9 Breadth extreme 5O 2 Breadth for tonnage Breadth moulded .... Depth in hold Burden in tons (old rule) ~ (new) 1,628 35 Engine-room 4BB 8 Register 1,139 5 She is to have two engines, each of 200-horse power, and they will be furnished from the factory of Messrs. Penn. The boilers and part of the machinery have been brought by the Rhadamanthus, steam -transport, which vessel arrived here on Sunday evening last. On the recent official visit of the Lords of the Admi ralty to Chatham last month, Mr. Gotsell, the master smith, was introduced to their lordslips, and on that occasion he was directed to submit a plan for altering Porter's anchors, and rendering thens efficient by con verting them to the plan o f th e anc h o r ma d e b y him for the Clopatra. In accordance with - the wish of their Lordships, he submitted a plan which has been approved by the board, and an order has subsequently been given to proceed on the plan submitted, and one of the anchors is now in course of alteration, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Cotseil. The Majestic, 80 guns, screw propeller, building in the third slip, is progressing very fast. Several extra hands are put on her in order that she• may be completed by the end of the month. She is to be launched the beginning of next month. It is understood that the Admiralty intend doing away with the pay-office at this yard, and that the duty of paying salaries and half-pay will in future be performed by the storekeeper ; and the purser of the ordinary guard-ship Boscawen, it is stated, is to pay the pensions, &c., quarterly. By this alteration a .Donsiderabl e saving will be effected in the public expenditure. WOOLWICH, OCT. 6. APPOINTMENTS.

He gives a perfect history in his adventures —or, as he calls them, mis-adventures— in search of a dinner, for the amusing details of which we have not space. It would seem that he attempted to dine in an equal style at the different establi6hments, and that a costly charge has generally accompanied an exceptionable dinner. He appears at length, however, to have settled down at the " Wellington," where, proba bly, the eulogies he bestowed upon "first-rate viands and excellent cookery " may be, in some measure, •due to the fine appearance of the apartments themselves, although the accompanying bill, for himself and friend, would tend to justify his choice :—" Wellington, St. James's -street ; entrance 160, Piccadilly, October 5, 1853.
