WHERE IS L. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT? THE constantly increasing bulk of the Metro polis, and the daily influx of visitors from country districts and foreign parts, are such as to render necessary a plain guide to the Proprietor's Wareh•use. Be it remembered, therefore, that " Gracechurch-street, City," is hi the immedlats vicinity of the Monument and King William's Statute, at the foot of London bridge. Parties in quest of L. Ilyam's trading premises are recom mended to keep these "landmark - s" in view, in order to preclude the possibility of unnecessary trouble , or disappointment. WHAT IS L. HYAM'S EST.AIILISHMENT? L. Ilyam's Establishment Is devoted to the manufacture and sale of Bespoke and Ready-made Attire for Gentlemen and Youths, Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits, in each of whip li branches Ds recommendations are conspicuous. Novelty and elegance of style, coupled with superiority o' materials of every description, are strik ingly developed in the Tailoring Department of L. iyam's trade ; and durable, graceful, fashionable, fitting. and economical articles of Dress are, at all times, obtainable in this direction, to the complete satisfaction of the purchaser. L. Ilyam's immense Stock of Hosiery, Hats, and General Outfits, will stand the test of minute inspection, and, when submitted to a trial, will rise in the estimation of all classes of buyers. A judicious expenditure of adequate capital in securing the best materials and artists, and in advantageous retrenchments, is sufficiently evident on an examination and comparison of the various articles to which public attention has thus been invited. • OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that ho has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust hess carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied wills good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound wakmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition. L. HYAM.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. - - • • MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro iuced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and bow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply ret, arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of IL, and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs. Piper Brothers and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Storie, Titchborne-street, Haymarket ; or free by post for forty-two stamps, to any address from the Author's resi dexce 37, BEDroaD-sQuABE, Lorimer.

Their promotion was a great injustice to labourers who had done duty as sawyers, and who, having been displaced, weie, according to the practice of the yard, entitled to expect the vacancies. It was in . oonsequence of these appointments that be wrote to Sir Baldwin Walker the letter of the 27th of April, an extract of which had been read, and the rest of which was as follows : • _ The committee resumed its inquiryand esterday, find, judging e wee Seymour interest t.dmi Duke t nw h b: e e hut oiirhoefaahntr Northumberland, the i d a p h r c e e e ee ds has n d behind excited the under goes bar, L happy y d t a o a l e t t tte n r d awhichtany intimatinght i e n danreceived from the Duke of Northumberland, intimating that his the committee any information in his power.

Afterwards, Captain Pelham pro cured him an interview with the Duke of Northumber land, and his Grace assured him that he had never heard, and did not believe, that he (Captain Richards) had ex ercised any political influence, and that he was satisfied he devoted himself to the good of the service. His Grace further desired him to come to him or Captain Pelham whenever he wished to do so. He saw Admiral Hyde Parker afterwards, and was then informed by him that it was the first time he also had heard of the accu satioes, and that he did not believe a word of it. The statement that he was a political partisan would be heard with astonishment at Chatham, and he challenged Mr. Stafford to the proof of what he had asserted. He was on intimate terms with Sir Frederick Smith, and both he and Sir J. Stirling dined together at his (Captain Richards') table during their canvass. Ridgway had been several times before him, and in fact he had little difficulty in describing him as the worst leading man in the yard. He (Captain Richards) was astonished to find that Ridg way was on the Conservative side at Chatham, having previously tried to make inteqst with Sir Francis caring through the - ailig partyat WiAsmouth. His promotion was an entire departure from the circular of 1847, which equired that promotion should not take place without a recommendation from the superintendent, and should not be prompted by political influences. Sir Frederick Smith's canvass of Chatham lasted for several months, and he (Capt. Richards), on being told by Sir Frederick that he was going to stand, said to him, " I wish you luck, but I can't give you the least help." He had never sought his appointment to Chatham, and never was more surprised than when he received it ; and in order that there might be no misconception as to the manner and terms in which that appointment was made he put in evidence the portion of Sir F. Baring's letter which he had not read on his previous examination, as it might be considered self-laudatory to do so : " (Private.) " Admiralty, April 26, 1849. "My dear Sir,—l have this day received the account of Sir T. Bourchier's death with much regret. " This leaves Chatham-yard vacant, and it is an impor tant yard. " From what I have heard and seen of you, it will give me much pleasure if it should suit you. " I shall feel satisfied that I have placed an important duty in the hands of one who will perform it to the advan tage of the public service. " There must be one understanding—that you will not meddle with politics. I make this understanding with op ponent and friend, and I do not think you are likely to publico bjec t t s o e r a y i c c o e n al d i o t n i o e n ._ w y hic our h s w t ill l u oblige you F t o . 10 8 o ß k ni t G o 2 t , h e He had never in his life applied for a political favour, and had never received any, and his appointment to Pembroke Dockyard had been obtained from Lord Auck land's applying to Sir W. Parker, whose flag captain he then was. The witness then read some further correspondence that had taken place between him and the Admiralty with regard to the appointments, and in answer to Lord Seymour, in explanation of certain words in one of his aso u ta ls d t t e e r a s , said de ek t y h a e r r d e a h s a o l l o w o a k y e s d a up sl o v n arm a o d f oc p k e y rs a o r n d s species of property in which they had a right, and ex pected nominations to appointments. He (Captain Richards) had complained about the promotion of Ridgway, as he had been reported as inefficient from irregular conduct. If it had been stated that Ridgway had been reported because he was a Tory or a Conser vative, it was not so, and he would distinctly say, in answer to what Mr. Stafford had said, no political in fluence was used against him in the yard. Sir B. Hall—How did Cotsell perform his duties ? Captain Richards thought him a very good master smith—as good as was to be found in the dockyards. Sir B. Hall—Do you remember Mr. Stafford being in the yard with Sir Frederick Smith l Captain Richards explained that he was absent when Mr. Stafford came, and met him immediately after be left. He expressed his regret at not being there to re ceive him, to which Mr. Stafford replied that he had been se much engaged with Lord Derby he could not give him notice. "DeN . Tonport, April 27, 1852. " A wholesale nomination to vacancies has this morning come, I fear without strict reference to necessity. I cannot, forbear expressing a hope that • the discouragements so pe culiarly, attaching to your important position may not only not disturb you, but rather lead to a determination to we:l. tiler a storm that. cannot continue, arising, as I yet chari tably hope, out of an inability to understand the disastrous professional consequences that inevitably belong to the sacrifice_of your great department to the emergencies of a political struggle. I should be indeed happy to find my apprehension ill-grounded, and still more so that we have the certainty of your continuance in a post so universally approved.—Believe me always yours most truly, _ _ " G. A. Siimoun." The vacancies thus filled up had been reported by him. but not as requiring to be supplied. If that was wanted the surveyor would make a representation to the effect that it was so. At this point in Commodore Seymour's examination ;lie committee adjourned till to-day, at 11 o'clock. THE CASE OF ABORTION AT CLAPHAM. Yesterday, Chas. Cunningham, alias Smith, de scribing•himself as a surgeon, of Slough, and James Thompson Currie, of Norfolk-street, Fitzroy-square, also describing himself as a surgeon, were charged, with George Thomas, a chemist, of Leather-lane, Holborn, at the Lambeth Police-court, with being concerned in various degrees in an "attempt to procure abortion. In justice to the profession, it should be stated that neither of the two first-mentioned defendants is connected with any one of the corporation of legally qualified' practitioners of medicine in England. The former examinations of the prisoners have been reported in our columns. On this occasion the victim of the practices charged upon the prisoners was in attend ance to give her evidence. The first witness called was, Mrs. Ann Morden, of Ely-place, Holborn, who stated that she was the mother of Eliza Morden, the prosecu trix. She did not know that her daughter was enciente until after the proceedings out of which this charge arose. The Rev. George Campbell Gordon came to lodge at her house in the month of March, 1851, and remained there a lodger until last Saturday week, when he left, and he had not taken away any of his things. Mr. Gordon is about fifty-five years old, an unmarried man, and a curate of the parish church of St. Andrew's, Holborn. The next witness called was Eliza Morden. She looked younger than the 22 years which were assigned as her age, and gave her evidence with much clearness. She stated that she was at present staying at the house of Mr. Holcomb, 4, Stockwell-road, Private-road, Clapham. She knew the Rev. George Campbell Gordon, who was curate of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and who lodged at her mother's house in Ely-place. In the month of September last, said the witness, an improper intimacy took place between Mr. Gordon and myself. In consequence of my state a lodging was taken for me at Hackney in the month of December, and a medical man (Dr. Gillett) was called in to see me. At that time I was not conscious I was in the family way. Afterwards I sent Griffin, an old servant of my mother's, to Mr. Mullins, a chemist in Leather-lane, Holborn, to get some pills, describing to her my irregu larities. When I sent Griffin out I did not tell her to go to Mullins's shop in particular. I did not mention any shop, nor did I suggest the name of the prisoner Thomas. At that time I had not heard it. The next night, in consequence of what the witness Griffin told me, I went to Mullins' shop myself; and there I saw the prisoner Thomas. I asked him if he was the gentle man that a female had been to see about a young per son. He said "yes," and asked me to walk into the surgery behind the shop. He felt my body and my stomach, and told me I was in the family way. He said that be had got a friend who would put me all right. I asked him what I should have to pay, and his reply was "10/." At that time nothing was said as to whether I was married or single. I did not say to him that I was in the family ivay. I did not believe it till he tolthme. I said 101. was a great deal of money to give, and I did not know whether I should be able to get it or not. He said he should see his friend, and desired, me to call again. Mr. Norton—You have stated that the first time yoii had improper intimacy with Mr. Gordon was in Septem ber. Can you state the last time when this occurred. Witness—Not for a month before I left home, and from my home I have been three weeks. Witness (in continuation)—On the following Monday, or two or three days afterwards, in the evening I think, I saw the prisoner Thomas at the shop in Leather,lane. He told me had seen the gentleman, and " he would do the job for the 101." He did not say what he was to do. That was all that passed. He did not mention the name of his friend at that time. I was told to call ; and, though no time was mentioned, I did call again in a day or two afterwards. I think it was in the evening. I told tha prisoner Thomas that I was not quite right. He asked me if I lived at home. I told him I lived with my mother. lie did not ask me my name, but he gave mo a bit of paper with Dr. Smith's (Cunningham's) address upon it. That paper I have lost, but it stated that Dr. Smith could be seen from ten to twelve o'clock. at Dr. Currie's, No. 10, Norfolk-street, Tottenham court-road, near the Middlesex Hospital. I went to Mr. Smith's address and asked for him. On doing so I saw the prisoner Cunningham, who came out from behind the counter. The shop was a chemist's shop, and the prisoner Cunningham asked me if I was the young person Mr. Thomas had been speaking to him about. I said yes. At this time I think Mr. Currie was in the shop, but I can't say that he heard me ask for Dr. Smith, nor whether he was near enough to helr what had been said. The prisoner Cunningham—alias Smith—said to me, " Go into the surgery," and I went. He pulled down the blind and was going to examine me, but he would not do it without the money down. I told him I had but two pounds, which I took out of my purse and placed on the table. He said he could not give his advice until he had the 101. down. I said I had not got it with me, but that I had got it at home, and I asked him if he could arrange to come down to my lodg ings at four o'clock the next day. Before this I had asked Mr. Gordon for the money, and Mr. Gordon gave me the 101. I called again at the prisoner Currie's, and saw a female, and asked if Mr. Smith was at home. The female said no, but called Dr. Currie. I asked him if Dr. Smith was at home. He replied in the negative, but that any message that I left he would deliver to him. Accordingly I left a message for Dr. Smith to call on me at my lodgings. He came, and I gave him the 101. He told me to lie on my left side on a sofa in the room, and I did so. He used some instrument under my clothes. A full quarter of an hour elapsed during the operation ; but during the operation, in which both the prisoner's hands were engaged, I felt something going round like a worm or a corkscrew. There was not any particular pain. He told me to bear it patiently, and after half an hour I got up. He asked me how I felt. I said pretty well, and then he left. He came again every day for about a week. I never saw the instrument, but I believe he used it every time he came. On each I occasion that he came the operation was the same. I lay on my side every time, and felt a pain, a short pain, when the instrume n t was use d . A t the end of the week he said he was quite satisfied that everything was done that he could do. A week after this I went home to my mother's, where I remained about two months. In that time I frequently saw Mr. Gordon. I told him I was not in the way I should wish to be. He said he would write and ascertain if Mr. Smith would see me again. I called two or three times at the prisoner Thomas's, and he said he should forward any letter or message to Mr. Smith, and eventually I wrote a letter to Mr. Smith, and gave it to Mr. Thomas, making an appoint ment with the former to meet him at No. 24, Essex street. Strand, a lawyer's. There I went to an empty room at the top of the house, is company with a Mrs. Cornelius, who is sister to Mrs. Holcomb, in whose house I now live. The prisoner Smith came to us to the empty room, and then again performed another opera tion on me the same as before, and with an instrument. I felt a similar pain. Mr. Norton—What perform an operation in an empty room ! Was there no furniture of any sort in it ? Witness—Only a carpet and a sort of couch, or sofa bedstead. I lay on the latter, with my face to the wall. He then told me it was "polypus," and used the instrument as before. He told me I must get away from home for a week, and desired me to take a lodging, and in consequence I got the lodgings where I am now staying. It was on the 11th of April that I was in the empty room in Essex-street, and on the Tuesday following I went to Stockwell. After get ting my mother's consent to go to Mrs. Holcomb's I wrote to the prisoner Smith requesting him to call on me at my new lodgings, and left the letter at Thomas's, requesting him to forward it. Thomas inquired what Mr. Smith had said about me, and I said " a polypus." Smith called on me on the day I removed to Stockwell, and he then used the instrument in the back parlour at Mrs. Holcomb's, while I was in the same position as before, with my face to the wall. By his desire I had first locked the door and pulled down the blind. He came again on the Wednesday and Thursday, and ap plied the instrument as before. On the Friday and Saturday he brought me some powders, which were taken in water, and were very nasty to the palate. They were of a greyish colour, and gave me great pain in my stomach, and so I told Mr. Smith, On the Tuesday or the Wednesday he used the instru ment again, but did not say anything about the pow ders. On the Saturday I felt very ill indeed, and sent for him to the lodgings he had taken at Stockwell. He came between seven and eight on the Sunday morning, and inquired how I was, and I said, "Very ill." He replied that the "pains were coming on." He came again in the middle of the day, when I told him I felt much worse, and he said, " It will be soon over." He came a third time in the afternoon, and re mained sitting at my bedside two or three hours. On Friday and Saturday he wished me to get up, but the pains were so great that I could not do so. On the Sunday evening, when my mothor arrived, Mr, Smith Sir B. Hall—Did you hear if Mr. Stafford had gone round the yard with Sir Frederick Captain Richards had asked no questions, for he did not think it proper to inquire of the officers what the Secretary of the Board of Admiralty had been about. Sir B. Hall—When dockyards are within the limits of a borough, do you think, looking to the efficiency of the service, that the men should have no vote ? Captain Richards thought the service would be mate rially advantaged thereby, but still the influence of rela tions who had votes would be brought to bear on the pa tronage of the yards. They would be placed in the same position as tho Excise and Customs. The best way, how ever, would be to carry out stringently the views of Sir F. Baring, and not to listen to any applications that were not made on public grounds. If people at head-quarters could be depended on for this the object sought for would be accomplished. During the last election Sir James Stirling came to ask him if any of the officers of the yard were entitled to intimidate voters under them. He immediately asked for the name of the officer who had been doing so, and he said he would report him in stantly to the board. Sir James Stirling refused to give it up, and he told him that as he was not prepared to do so he should not have come to him at all about the mat ter. In consequence of that communication he sent for the master shipwright, and cautioned him to tell the officers privately that if he caught any of them influenc ing the workmen under them he would bring their con duct before the board. The master shipwright subse quently told him that one officer acknowledged having done so, but expressed his sorrow, and promised to desist forthwith. He (Captain Richards) took so little interest in the election that he did not know the result till the following morning. Admiral Fanshawe, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, was called to show that he had received from the Duke of Northumberland, through his priLvate secretary, Captain Pelham, similar instructions to avoid meddling with politics to those given to Captain Richards by Sir Francis Baring. Benjamin Cross, a sergeant of Marines, and tailor to the force at Devonport, said that he was a voter of East Stonehouse. Before the last election he had a conver sation with Colonel Coryton, who sent for him, and to whom he was taken by Sergeant Mortimer. He was shown into the colonel's drawing-room, and saw there with the colonel, who was in undress military unifoinn, General Berkeley, and another gentleman. The gen'sral solicited his vote in the presence of the colonel. He told him it was too late, as he had pledged for Sirs J. Romilly. Colonel Coryton said, "I am sorry for it." Sir B. Hall—Do you know of any other Mariner so sent for ? Witness—Corporal ßerkeleygain A ed h tki t ns e w way.

He split his vote be tween Sir John Romilly an d G enera l Berkeley, wh i tch he ously would not have done h a d h e no t been fearful that sup porting the.

He had given his consent to what was done without consider in g that there was any impropriety in it. • Commodore Sey m our, superinten dent o f the Deron port Dockyard, stated that he received.his appoint men t there in September, 1851, in a le tter from S ir F.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.— Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street. has intro duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-5 2 , Fleet-street. At home from ten till five. SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discllcura tton, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth.

The precise particulars of the affair are not stated, but the murderer thatwas t a o n be a tried t s i o c m s e t a time in e nt ofA and it melancholy a n is probable this c ho ly event will soon be received in London. Captain Grant was in the 39th year of his age, and served with distinction during the greater portion of the Carlist war in Cata lonia, under the Conde de Espana and General Cabrera. In the action fought before Guisona, on the 11th of June, 1837, the battalion to which he belonged, number ing 800 men, and formed of deserters from the French Algerine Legion, was utterly destroyed ; he escaped with seven lance wounds, the marks of which he bore to the day of his death.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 5. The Agamemnon, 90, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland.—We reported this ship as having gone to the measured mile on Tuesday last, to test her powers. She may not only be classed as a line-of-battle ship of extra ordinary power, but she-:inay be classed as a first-rate steamer, having attained the astonishing average speed of 11 knots 2. The. Imperieuse, 60, screw, Captain Rundle B. Wat .son, took her trial yesterday at the measured mile at Stoke's Bay, having the Commander-in-Chief on board ; shortly after which the Fairy hove in sight, from Osborne, and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert honoured the captain of . the Imperienie by being on board during the trial. She may well be • classed as the finest fri g ate in the whole world—combining power, speed, and beauty unequalled. The Prince expressed the gratification he felt in witnessing what has never before been accom plished—that of a 60-gun frigate, with her armament and stores cornelete, under her auxiliary screw, doing an average of over 10 kn'ots an hour. On his Royal High ness leaving this splendid frigate he was saluted with 21 guns. The Hastings, 72, Captain Francis W. Austen.—This unhappy ship was paid'off to-day, and it is with heart felt pleasure that we notice how fully our best anticipa tions were realised by the decorous and exemplary con duct of the whole crew belonging to thii ship. We wit nessed the orderly and excellent bearing of these highly disciplined and well-conducted men.; and it is something indeed to say that of a crew comprising 600 British sailors, not a single case of drunkenness occurred. We were leased to see how many made for the " Sailors, Home," avoiding the " staga,bout crimps." It is evi dent that the honest British tar is becoming a rational thinking being, and has learned to judge for himself, and we felt more than pleased to hear the kindly ex• pressions that came from the hearts of the men on leav ing the ship. When their officers said " Farewell my lads," their response was, with their hats off " God Almighty bless you, sir." These are the men who are subjected to be tortured with the lash. The marines, belonging to the Woolwich division, marched out of the Ford at 10 a.m., to be in time for the train. They were accompanied by the greater part of the crew to the gates, and cheered right earnestly on their departure. The remainder, some 27 in number, under the command of Serjeant-Major Torrington, belonging to the Portstnouth division, crossed over to the Royal Clarence-yard on their way to Forton Barracks. The serjeant-major bears a most excellent character, and has been with the ship the whole of her commission. The ship has only lost twelve hands on board, during her commission of five years, which may be attributed to the care bestowed upon them by their excellent surgeon, Mr. Robert T. C. Scott, who, with other five gentlemen belonging to the ward-room, are those who left England in the Hastings—Lieut. Ed mond Webber and Lieut. John Y. Holland, Royal Marines ; Rev. W. L. Onslow, chaplain ; Mr. Henry Brehaut, master ; and Mr. Walter Burke, paymaster. The Dauntless, 24, screw, Captain Edward P. Hal stead, was inspected this day, by the Commander-in- Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, who went out to Spithead in the Sprightly, Master Com mander Allen, at 1.30, and was received on board by the topsail and lower yards being manned. The Vice- Admiral was accompanied by Captain Chads, of the Ex cellent, who drilled them for upwards of five hours, re turning into harbour at 5.30. She will discharge her powder and shells and come into harbour. The Encounter,l4, screw, Captain O'Callaghan, is under the sheers, in the steam basin, unrigging ship and get ting out boilers. The Echo, steam-tug, went out of harbour with the Orestes, portable coal depot, in tow, to supply the Aga memnon and Imperieuse, completing their stoc.. of fuel. A. steamer, called the Prince, arrived from Portland, with a few convicts, and will take back to that isle up wards of 90, from the New Prison at this port, to be en , gaged at the works now in progress there. WOOLWICH, * MAY 5. APPOINTMENTS. . Lieutenants—William Burley Grant (1852), to the Comus, 14, sloop, commissioned this day at Sheerness ; and Edward Hardinge (1852), to the Nerbudda,l2, brig, commissioned this day at Chatham. Commander Charles F. Newland (1847), and Lieuten ants Alexander Anderson (1842), and George W. Towsey (1846) have been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard. The Melampus, 42, is to take on board at Sheerness about 600 tons of iron ballast to be put on board the James Watt, 90, at Pembroke, previous to that screw steam-ship being navigated to Devonport. A great number of hands have been employed at the basin here to-day in putting the machinery, &c., of the Algiers, 90, on board the Cyclops steam-frigate, for con veyance to Devonport.

The leading columns of the Paris journals of yes terday are unimportant. There are only two articles possessing any public interest. One is a short notice in the Constitutiomnel of a list of 55 new commissaries of police for the departments published by the Monitcur ; the other is a long article in the Pays on Algeria, in which the writer urges the formation of companies with the comMand of capital for the encouragement of enterprise in that colony. The remarks of the CoAstitutionitc/ appear to be fully justified by the list that has been published. One is almost surprised to find that persons in the position of life therein mentioned should accept functions, the pecuniary remunera tion of which is by no means considerable, and Whieh-are not in the public estimation such is to give to the persons performing them a rank in so ciety which would compensate for the low salaries that are paid to . them; The Emperor on Thursday gave a private audience to M. Eugene Scribe, president of the Association of Dramatic Authors and Composers, accompanied by some members of the committee. At-this audi ence M. Scribe called the attention of his Majesty to the clauses of the bill which cancels the rights of dramatic authors and composers 20 years after their death, and solicited the Emperor to. prolong -that period. . . The -Moniteur publishes a decree of . tlie Emperor for the creation of Consultative Clitneis of Agri culture in Algeria. The number of members is fixed at 30 fin: the province of Algiers, and at 20 each for the provinccz' of Oran and Constantine. They are to have 'an annual session, the period and. duration of which are to be fixed by the Gover,uor- General. A Paris correspondent writes to theindependance of Etrus els, under the date of the 3d :—" The fol lowing is related to me as positive. The Count de Chambord has applied to the Societe du Credit Foncier of France to lend him 800,000 f., on the mortgage of his domain of Chambord.

Yesterday being the fete of the Ascension, the Bourse was closed. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th have arrived, but their contents are not of political importance. The Beraldo remarks that of late an extraordinary increase has taken place in all kinds of crimes in every part of the , kingdom. The Espana states that the French Government has demanded autho risation from the Spanish Government to establish a telegraphic station at Irun, so as to unite its line from Bayonne to Paris with that from Madrid to Irun—such station to be given up to the Spaniards, when their projected lines of telegraph to the French frontier shall be completed. A letter says :—" The higher circles of Madrid have learned with regret the indisposition of the Empress of the French, and yesterday they waited on the Countess de Montijo to express it. M. Eusebio Donoso Cortes, brother of Marquis de Valdegamas, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has left in all haste for that city, in consequence of his brother's illness. The Queen yesterday presided. at a Council of Ministers at Aranjuez. On the nomi nation of M. Bermudez do Castro, M. Moreno Lo pez was named Director of General Accounts, and M. Bazzanella, Director of Estanca,das (stock sold on account of the State) in the Ministry of Finance. Some nominations of governors of provinces were also made. All the rumours of a Ministerial crisis had ceased—so that the statement received thO day before yesterday, that M. Bermudez de Castro had resigned, would appear to have been unfounded. It was added that all the Ministers were perfectly in accord, and that they possessed the fullest confi dence of her Majesty." M. Douoso Corte's, Marquis of Valdegamas, Spa nish Ambassador in Paris, died the day before yes terday at his residence in the Rue de Courcelles. He had been 'for more than a month labouring under an acute disease of the heart, for which he was attended by the first physicians of the capital. His state bad several times improved, and on the night preceding his death, there was nothing to indicate such a speedy decease. At about half past four the next day, his breathing became so difficult that the patient requested a priest to be sent for. The Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors soon afterwards arrived at the Spanish Embassy to inquire after the health of the Marquis, and they I were present at the religious ceremony of extreme unction, and received the last sigh of their illus trious colleague. M, Donoso Cortes died apparently without pain ; a slight sigh was all that announced his decease. He had scarcely attained his 44th year. He was Grand Cross of the Spanish Orders of Charles 111. and Isabella the Catholic, and Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. His ami able qualities and his alfkbility attached to him all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. ITALY. The .11filan Gazette of the 30th ult, contains tho following notification from the military command ant of Lombardy : "His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of th Army, Governor-General, Field-Marshal Count Ita detzky has authorised me gradually to mitigate the rigorous state of siege imposed upon this city after th 6th of February last. Besides the alleviations recently conceded, I find it expedient to order from the Ist of May :—Article 1. All the societies legally existing pre viously, may resume their meetings on observing the proper prescriptions ; all the theatres may also be re opened with the permission of the competent local au thorities. Art. 2. All the gates of the city, except the Porta Vigentina and Porta Ludovica, shall henceforth be opened at 4 a.m. and closed at 10 p.m. The passage of horses and carriages on the bastions is entirely free ; fo foot-passengers the time is restricted to the hours during which the gates remain open. The existing regula tions, with respect to passports at the gates of the city, still remain in vigour. Art. 3. To those who lodge either strangers or subjects of Lombardy, I grant hence forward 24 hours' time to notify their arrival to the police as prescribed, on pain of incurring a fine of 10 Austrian livres (190 fr.) and a fortnight's imprisonment for every omission. Keepers of lodging-houses may also be deprived of their licences in case of a relapse. Art. 4. At night the sentinels shall only challenge such persons as shall appear to approach them in a suspicious manner, and in case they shall not immediately obey the challenge, the sentinels shall use their arms. Art.s. In the interest of public tranquillity I find it expedient to remind the public that it is forbidden to make a noise, cry aloud, or whistle ; whoever does not de sist on the first summons shall be arrested. Art. 6. In case of any disturbance of public tran quillity, it is prescribed that all persons not belong. ing to the army, or not obliged by their office to aid in restoring order, shall immediately retire into their dwellings, in order to avoid being arrested as accom plices. At night all the windows of the first storey in the houses of those streets or squares where the dis turbance occurs, must be illuminated. Art 7.

THE NEW SAXON INVASION OF IRELAND. —The a Glw Packet contains a r emar k able article in reference to wh a y at it calls " the conquest complete" of Ireland by the Saxon :—" The Saxon in Ireland mao lon be regarned as a sentimental tourist sittin y n on on the ger box seat of a mail-coach, with sketch -book in hand, delineating the physical appearance of the country, and earricaturing the ' wild Ilirish.'

The fertile farms that have lain waste for the last few years, from which extermination drove the oppressed natives,. and th e h ouses wherein fa mine seized i t s vict i ms, are being fast occupied by Eng lish and Scotch settlers.
