Captain Mundy, upon a charge preferred by that officer; but §mith objected to Captain Mundy sittin g as a member of the Court, on the ground that he h a d a l rea d y prejudged the case by his report to the Commander-in ll r . Cnief. The Court consequently adjourned to await turther instructions from the latter officer. Mr. Smith, we are info, mtd, bad refused to take charge of the chro nometers ; but his reiuzal was made in the most respect iui manner, alleging, as an excuse, that he did not think himself competent to take proper care of such delicate instruments. The Columbine, 16, Commander Grey, arrived at Singapore, from Penang, on the 23d of February, and sailed thence for Labuan on the 24th ult., to relieve the Wolf, 16, Commander Vansittart, ordered home. Owing to the reluctance of the natives to receive money in pay ment for the supplies required by vessels on that part of the coast of Borneo, the Columbine had laid in a large supply of long-cloth, which is found the readiest medium of eschange, and which is bartered in pieces of different sizes, according to the value of the articles to be pur chased, so many yards representing the price of a bul 'oak, fowls, &c.

She was very deep, being loaded in every con vertible space, with stores, &c. The Marquis and Marchioness of Queensberry have gone out in this beautiful frigate to Lisbon, the Marchioness being re commended to recruit her health by a residence in the Mediterranean for a period. During the time the Thetis has been at this port she has been the subject of general admiration.

Deans Dundas, C. 8., Captain M. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 13., Lords Commissioners of th e Ad m i ra lty, an d Cap tain Henry Eden, R.N., private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, paid an official visit to this do k yard on Saturday, and on arriving, at one o'clock P.M., were received by Mr. Elson, master attendant in charge of the yard during the absence of Commodore Sir J. J. Gordon Bremer, the superintendent. Mr. Jenkins, storekeeper, Mr. Mouchet, store-receiver, Mr. Chatfield, assistant to the master shipwright, Mr. Atherton, assis tant to the chief engineers, and several of the heads of the departments, w re also present, and Captain Beatson, Royal Engineers, clerk of the works. Their Lordships immediately proceeded on board the Amphion steam-frigate, in the east dock, and were con ducted over that fine vessel by Lieutenant Sibbald, and examined a new description of chain made of copper, exactly on the same principle as the chains attached to the mainsprings of pocket watches, and capable by its great power of raising a weight of 13 tons when worked by tour men. The weight of the screw propeller of the Amphion is .about four tons. On leaving the Amphion their Lordships proceeded to the basin at the west end of the yard, and were received Lieutenant-com mender Phillips, of the Bloodhound steam vessel, who mustered his crew to show the number of men on board, application having been made . by him for an ad ditional number of hands, the present number being considered insufficient. Their Lordships, after leaving the Bloodhound, went round. the baiin and met Halib Pacha; Osman Bey, and Mahomed Bey, distinguished foreigners then in the yard, ace impanied by Lieut.- Colonel Colquhoun, of the Royal Artillery. Their Lordships and the visitors then went on board the Growler steam' vessel, where they were received by Commanderratbury, and conducted over that vessel, fitting for the convey ance of free blacks from the coast of Africa to Grenada and Trinidad in the West Indies. The fbreigners mi nutely inspected the fore and after part of the cabins, and the accommodation and appliances for the comfort of the blacks during their voyage. The Blenheim, 72, was then visit e d ; t h e screw propeller with w hi c h s h e i s fitted was unshipp e d b y the aid of a powerfu l c h a i n o f galvanised i ron . Th e i r Lordships, on leaving the Blen heim, went on b oard the Black Eagle steam - vesse l, where they w ere rece i ved by Mr. S. B. Coo k , comman der of th e Ad m i ra l ty yacht, and partook of a dejei'iner with Halib Paella, Osman B e y, an d M a homed Bey, and several of the au th or i t i es of the y ard. C er t a i n H a ll, when their Lordships were on board the Growler steam vessel, pointed out the advantages that would be derived by having a platform fitted from the top of the paddle boxes across the deck, and joined with marine glue , as was fitted to th e Avon under the direction of Captain Denham, the blacks being fond of lying on the - boards in the open air when that composition is used„ as it does not adhere to their skin like pitch.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. The Second Amateur Dramatic Performance, for the benefit of this deserving Society, took place at the Olympic Theatre on Saturday evening. The following address, written for the occasion by Mr. Angus B. Reach—a gentleman already favourably known in the lighter walks of literature—was delivered by Mr. Foster previous to the comedy : " Last year we tried our fortune on the stage, We played for woo-worn want and tottering age; Our cause, and not our merits, made us bold, We won your plaudits, and we gained your gold ! So now, once more, your favourite smile we claim, Our drama different, but our end the same. We're bolder, though, than when we tried oar hand In that dramatic band-box 'yclept The Strand.'* Yet, in a cause like this, is it not well, To pay an inch by asking for an ell ; A growing webb demands a widened loom, Your spreading charity needs elbow room, And changes so your natures, that e'en devils— Printers', I mean—demand Olympic' revels. Now to commence, then. ( Looks at the play bill.) Here's our bill of fare— May all enjoy some savoury morsel there, First comes the comedy ;—be its five acts, To those who reap the produce, five great facts! Bid our Poor Gentleman a loud " God speed," For, wanting your applause, he's poor indeed! What's next? Our actors here will please I root, These failing —we can try those who are not. You doubt ?—But in our play the mimic'; art Can even make the absent take a part. Some moments more let joyous song and dance Ring in the ear, and twinkle to the glance : With Luke the Labourer to close the day, A stirring, hearty, good old English play— A play that cold indifference cannot brook, One must be heated —not lake-warmed by "Luke r' I've done ! All ready ? (Looks off. Prompter nods.) Of our venturous host, Is every warrior fairly at his post? (Prompter nods again.) 'Tis well. (To wings.) Be bold, and think tho' but beginners, Who on a night like this would be the sinners— The hissed, or hissers? Why, of course, the latter: What! Hiss the food from off a poor man's platter? Perish the thought Ring up at once ! Begin I The course is clear! My life upon't we win !" After the address the evening's entertainment commenced with Colman's Comedy of the Pour Gentleman, in which he principal characters were well sustained by Messrs. Phi lp, Hammond, German, Tompson, and Miss E. Lloyd and Mrs. J. Foreman. It was followed by some excellent dancing by pupils of Miss Gilbert, Messrs. Frampton and Flexmore ; after which, Mr. Butler's delineations of Stage Passions and imitation of London actors, met with deserving applause. The evening concluded with Luke the Labourer. Great praise is due to Mr. C. llammond's Luke and to Mr. W. Chitty's Philip. The part of Clara Wakefield, by Miss E. Lloyd, was a clever piece of acting, and Jenny was admirably personated by Miss .Tane Coleman, a young lady of promis ing talent, who was deservedly encored in the duet with Bobby Trott (Mr. T. Green). The house was crowded, and therefore it is to be hoped that the Society's funds will be largely benefited by the amateurs' generous exertiens. His Royal Highness Prince Albert (Patron of the Society) took a private box on the occasion. • A performance, in aid of the funds of the same society, took place last year at the Strand Theatre. NARROW ESCAPE OF VAN AMDURGII.—BALTIMORE 7 UNITED STATES, APRIL I.—Quite an exciting incident oc curred yesterday afternoon at Van Amburgh's menagerie, in the presence of a crowded auditory, principally ladies. He hadjust left one of the cages, and had entered another, in which were a lion, a tiger, and two leopards. After playing with the lion a few moments he turiUtd to caress one of the leopards, when the lion seized him by the right breast, his capacious jaws taking in a large moiety of his body. The animal exhibited no ferocity or anger, but immediately let go his hold, and seated himself quietly in his cage.,:.So quietly was it done on the part of the lion, that the audience would have thought nothing of it had it not caused a shriek'6i' pain from Van Amburgh, when he fell against the side of the' cage. lie was immediately taken out, and Dr. Gibson being present, was called to his relief. On his back and breast the trace of the teeth of the animal was fully indented, but the' flesh was not broken. The lion tamer has just recovered from a dangerous illness of several months' duration, and having during that time been separated from the animals, he had probably lest some of his former power over them. He was also in a very weakly condition, or the lion would, in all probability, have come off second best in the encounter. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

It appears from the German papers, that when Dr. List, the most prominent advocate of protection in favour of the products of Germany, was in this coun try, during the last autumn, he addressed communica tions to Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Peel, for the purpose of procuring their concurrence in the views of Dr. List in favour of protection. The answers by them are stated to have been published in the German papers. The following is that sent by Sir Robert Peel:— " Drayton Manor, Aug. 22, 1846. " Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of the letter which you have addressed to me, and of the memorandum which accompanied it. " I thank you for this communication, and have given it an attentive perusal. " The sentiments which it expresses in favour of the policy and reciprocal advantage of an intimate union between this country and Germany have my cordial concurrence; a con currence as complete and unqualified as is my dissent from your views as to the mode by which that intimate union can be most effectually promoted. "You are of opinion that England ought cheerfully to acquiesce in the maintenance of high duties on the import lobo Germany of the products of English industry, for the purpose of benefiting the people of Germany, of conciliating their goodwill towards England, and of thus encouraging amicable relations between the two countries. "I, on the contrary, am of opinion that the people of Germany will be benefited by freer access to the produce of English industry in exchange for their own, that the good will to be purchased by denying that access will be the good will not of the people of Germany, but of comparatively a very small portion of that people, either interested in the manufactures with which English industry would compete, or, labouring under erroneous impressions as to the of prin ciples whith ought to govern th e co mmercial relations two great countries ; an d th a t we s hall be laying the b est foundation for reciprocal amity and for an intimate union be tween Great 13ritain:andiGermany by relaxing the restra ints on our commercial intercourse, and by the diminution, and not the incase or the maintenance, of the present protec tive duties. _ . "You observe that views in favour of protection are at present uppermost in the mind of the German public—that it does not matter, with regard to the object of your memo i r, whether, such views are true or not ; it matters only whether theyc.cio exist or not. be permitted, with all due respect for your autho rity, to doulit the allegation that such views are uppermost in the mind of the people of Germany ; b ut i f they are, I totally dissent from your position, that it matters not whether I such views are or are not correct. " If they prevail, and if they are not correct, they ought to I be combated by those who, as statesmen, conduct the public councils in Germany, and, let me add, by those also who, as writers on political economy and the commercial policy cf nations, undertake to enlighten the public mind, and to f)rm and direct the public opinion of their fellow -countrymen. " I for one believe those views to be completely erroneous, to be injurious to Germany, injurious to England, and im pediments to that intimate union which I wish to see estab lished and confirmed between two powerful nations whose political interests are so nearly identical. lam bound, there-. fore, frankly to inform you that I cannot advise that acqui escence in them on the part of the ruling authorities in country which it i s th e o bj ect of your memorandum to in_ culcate.—l h ave th e h onour to be, Sir, your obedient ser vant, M. List, &c. ROBERT PEEL. Mr. Greg, and a deputation, had an interview with Sir George Grey, on Saturday. The Earl of Devon had A* au iut4ryiew wits the Right 4lon. Baronet. On Saturday Sir R. Peel opened his mansion in White- hall-gardene for the reception o f v i s it ors i nv ited *inspect ' e , his beautiful collection of works of art. The principal_ stair case, the _picture-gallery, and; we believe, one or two tithe; , rooms, have recently been redecorated, whilst the picture: themselves have undergone a fresh arrangement, and tie completion of these details was the immediate cause of the .reunion of Saturday. The invitations in this instance were, not regulated by the exclusive spirit which almost uniformit prevails on similar occasions. That there should be present many of -the most distinguished members of the Peerage) and of the-House of Commons might naturally be expected from the eminent social and political position which the Right Hon. Baronet occuPies ; but -it was gratifying to ob. serve, associated with them, a very large number of gentle men connected with art, literature, and science. One may easily imagine that the owner of this fine collection may sometimes have sought a temporary relief from the cares and men vexation this s coun which and the inevitabl e l ot of public) try— and e ,certainly,nj,3,m enjoyment o h f as th h e ad ple h a i . s in , share of them—in the tranquil h sures which are to be found in the contemplation of the-won. derful emanations of genius by which he is here surrounded; and, perhaps. judging wisely that a d ue appreciation of are is not confined to the aristocracy exclusively, he was in. duced to extend to a wider circle the gratification which these pictorial treasures are capable of imparting. Be this as it may, this is the first occasion on which so liberal a spirit has been displayed, and it deserves honourable men. tion, as illustrative of Sir R. Peel's judgment and kind die-. position. Although Sir R. Peel has long been known as a munificent patron of modern art, there are not, with, we believe, five exceptions— " John Knox preaching before tlete Lards of the Congregation," Sir Themes Lawrence's por trait of one of the Right Hon. Baronet's daughters, Edwin Landseer's portrait of another daughter, and Winterhalter's portraits of her 3l a j es ty an d P r i nce Albert—any pictures of living or recently deceased artists in Whitehall-gardens. Ile whole of this portion of the collection—including the, portraits of political characters, Lawrence's portrait of Sir Robert, and his three-quarter and half-length portraits of Lady Peel—the latter well known by the engraving—havt been removed to Drayton Manor. One of the rooms on the ground floor is appropriated to some drawings by Rubens and Vandyke, part of Sir Thomas :Lawrence's collection of drawings, purchased from his ex ecutors by Sir R. Peel. The high merit of these sketches is so universally recognised, that it is unnecessary to do more than aver that they are characterised by all the master's core rectness of drawing and boldness of execution. The library is hung with er e eoe'engravines, chiefly from modern paint. ings. - - The dinitig-room used to be adorned by the portraits of public men of our own time—chiefly the wonderful " living effigies" of Lawrence, whose truthful pencil " snatched from Fate Whate'er was beauteous or whate'er was great." Here were the portraits of • the late and present head of the Peel family, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Stowell, the Earl •of Liverpool, 3lr. Canning, the Earl of Aberdeen, Mr. Huskisson, besides those of Southey and Fu seli, all by Lawrence. But, though we can no longer behold these portraits without a pilgrimage to Drayton—of which they are well worthy—their place is supplied by pictures of great interest. These are five portraits, and the picture known as the " Robinette," by Sir Joshua Reynolds. The portraits are those of the artist, Dr. Johnson, George IV. when Prince of Wales, Mrs. Thrale, and Boswell. the agree able biographer of the " Literary Leviathan." The portrait of Johnson was painted for Mrs. Thrale, and it is that from which the engraving which appears in several editions of the "Dictionary " is taken. On end of the drawing-room is occupied by two pictures, which have lately been presented by Sir ft. Peel to the Queen. They are full-length portraits of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the work of the German artist we have already named. The impression left by a necessarily hurried view of these pictures is not favourable. The colouring of the flesh is not good, and the general effect is harsh, if not coarse. The expression given to the Queen is unlike that of any other portrait we are acquainted with ; but it would be unfair, on that account, to inter that it does not belong to her Majesty. The fact is, that the Queen's countenance is susceptible of an extraordinary variety of expression, and it Way be remarked that, although no two of the almost end less number of portraits which have been made of the Sovereign correspond in expression, they all bear a strong resemblance to•the original. The gallery, which opens out of the drawing-room, is filled with paintings of the highest merit. Turn in what direction one may, the eye is sure to light upon some beautiful object. As far as we could observe, the works here are all cabinet pictures of the Dutch school, with the exception of two by Ruben& The latter are the "Triumph of Silenus," and the celebrated "Chapeau de Paille." 'I he Bacchanalian piece is a large composition, including eight figures, the principal object being Silenus, who occupies the centre, and whose condition requires the support which he receives from two satyrs. Of course, there are some of those children whom Rubens loved to paint, and could paint so well, and the whole picture is remarkable for the brilliancy of colour, masterly drawing, and spirited com position, which are the characteristics of this master. After Rubens death this picture was purchased by Cardinal Riche lieu, in 1642, and remained in possession of his family until the French revolution. It subsequently became the property of Lucien Bonaparte ; was brought to England in 1816, and sold for 950 guineas ; it was sold again in 1827 for 840/., and was finally bought by its present possessor for 1,1001. Rubens's other work in this gallery, the well-known " Chapeau de Paille," has long been the theme of universal eulogy, and, as might be expected, it is an object of great attraction in the gallery. Some of the particulars connected with the history of this picture are interesting. Of all his works this was Rubens'e favourite. It is said to be the portrait of a Mademoiselle Lindens, though, to us, it appears to bear a strong resem blance to the features of th e art i st ' s wife, whose portrait ht 70, has introduced into so many of his works. A story is told of Rubens having become enamoured of the lady whilst he was painting her portrait, fad it is certain that he would never part with this picture, which he called in his catalogue •• Le Pei-name cl'une Demoiselle, lea b ras eroises," (the lady Pas her arms crossed in front of her in this picture). It is not known how the picture acquired the name of the "Cha peau de Paille," and why it should have done so is equally a matter of mystery, for the hat which the lady wears is not straw, but beaver or felt, or, perhaps a coarse kind of velvet. After the death of the artist's widow the picture became the property of the Landens family, whose representative, M. Van 'Tavel-en, in 1817, sold it for 50,0001. to M. Stiers d'Aertse laer. In 1822 it was sold by auction, and bought by M. Nieuwenhuys for 36,000 f. He brought it to England and, after being exhibited publicly, and attracting thousands of admirers, it was purchased by Sir R. Peel for 3,500 gui neas. The specimens of the Dutch school are, as may be an ticipated from what has already been stated, very numerous, and of the highest excellence. To give a detailed notice of even a few of these works would extend this article beyond reasonable limits, and we shall, therefore, confine ourselves to the mere mention of some of the pictures which chiefly attract attention :—" View off the Thames," Backhuysen ; this picture is valued at upwards of 1,500/. 10 " An Old Castle," Cuyp ; this is one of time most charming pictures in the collection; its beauty, indeed, is perfectly enchanting. " The Avenue," by Hobbema; a remarkably beautiful pic ture, and differing in some respects from the artist's usual style, cost 800/. " The Poulterer's Shop," by Gerard Douw ; sold in the Choiseul coll ec ti on , 1772 , f or 6921.; from that of the Prince di Conti, 1777, for 8001.; from that of the Duc de Chabot, in 1787, for 8321. ; from that of Coupre, in 1801, for 1,024/. ; and from that of Mr. Beckford, of Foothill, in 1823, for 1,270/. " A Landscape," by Dujardin; cost 930 guineas. "The Duett," by Met zu ; cost 450 guineas. "Le Corset Rouge," by F. Miens; bought from Mr. Beckford for 305 guineas. "Le Chat," by W. Mieris • bought for 370 gui neas. " The Alchymist," by Adrian Van Ostade. " The Music Master," by Jan Steen. " The Mu sic Lesson," by Terburg ; cost 920 guineas. " A View in the City of Cologne," by Vander Hoyden ; cost 415 guineas. " Landscape," by Vander Velde ; cost 760 guineas. Also, by the same artist, "A Calm," bought for 5001. ; " the Coast of Schevening," cost 900/. ; and " A Gale," cost 300/, " The Interior of a Stable " and " A View on the Sea Shore," by Wouvermanns, cost respectively 534 and 450 guineas. In a room leading out of the gal lery at the end opposite to that which commune. cates with the drawing-room, are the portraits before re ferred to of two of Sir Robert Peel's daughters by Lawrence and Edwin Landseer. In the former, which has been en graved, the : yeung lady is represented seated on the ground caressing a spaniel. As a work of art it is beautiful ; and, Lawrence being the artist, it is unnecessary to add that the likeness was exact. It is necessary to speak in the past tense; for the little girl of the picture has grown up into is woman. in the same room is Sir Joshua's justly celebrated "Snake in the Grass ;" and, by the same artist, a spirited s p e o r r y t e ra d i , t i o h f at A t tn ie li a ra e l sem li h e l p a p g e. e l ef :l p n o ie c tu r r tc e l s usion, it m affords ay be b indisputable o . theredr e e ni is not e t, of et a t h e i e n g c l e to r h r a e d c t w t e a r s k t e i o n f tthhee whe l I c e! o a r n ; d f h o a r r , d w iy h e t h ls e t which does not rise above mediocrity, the vast majority are of the very highest character. Sir Robert Peel was iu excellent health and spirits, and was assisted by Lady Peel, accompanied by one of her daughters, in the reception of the guests. The Duke of Wee. fington arrived and departed early; the Duke of Cambridge came in about the middle of the day; but Lord John Russell did not appear until most of the company had left. When Sir R. Peel observed his Lordship in the gallery, he advanced, and shaking him cordially by the hand, led him to Lady Peel. It was interesting to see these two political leaders meeting in such a manner and under such eircamstancek and the incident seemed almost to justify the observation tg a gentleman present, that " it was as pleasing a picture as any which adorned the walls."

ROYAL ORTIIOPCEDIC HOSPITAL.--The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, and Miss Carroll, ho• noured this charity with a visit on. Friday. They were re. ceived by the surgeons and a deputation from the committee, and expressed themselves highly gratified as well as much astonished at the surprising cures presented to them. Some_ of the opponents of the Maynooth Grant, it is said, intend to put Mr. Spencer de Horsey in nomina• Pion for Newport, Isle of Wight, at the next election. _.- .t;: NEW WORK BY MRS.
