NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT-MARTIAL—SENTENCE OF DEATR. Poßramotrrif, Maatcx 19.—A court-martial, comprising Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, president; Captain Pasco , of the Victory; Captain Chads, C.8.d8., of the Excellent; Cap tain Henderson, C. 8., of the Sidon ; Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent; and Mr. George L. Greetham, Deputy Judge-Ad vocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning, at nine o'clock, on board the Victory, 104, ordinary guard-ship in this har bour, to try John Barton, a private of the Royal Marines, third class, belonging to the Salamander steam-sloop, Com mander (acting) Ricketts, just returned from the Pacific station, whereon she has been employed during the put five years, upon the following charges:— " 1. For that he, the said John Barton, when a private Royal Marine, and borne on the books of her Majesty's steam sloop Salamander, in commission, on the 25th day ofJannary 1847, on board the said sloop, did utter mutinous words, and threaten Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, of the said sloop, in a violent manner, declaring he would have his life before the ship was paid off, and did make use of gross and insubordinate language. " 2. For that he, the said John Barton, when such private Royal Marine, and so borne as aforesaid, en the said 28th day of January, 1847, on board the said sloop, in commis' sion, did strike the said Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, being his superior officer, in the execution of his duty.' Lieutenant Simpson Hicks Ricketts, Acting Commander of the Salamander, was the first witness called, and stated that the prisoner was brought before him on the report of Sergeant Sager, shortly after one P.M. on the 28th ofJanuary, 1847, and that the prisoner then called the sergeant a false swearing man, and said he would have his life, which he (the prisoner) tepeated several times, and made use of other language—such as, the sergeant had always been down on him, and that his report was false; in consequence of which language the witness (Lieutenant Ricketts) ordered the pri soner into confinement, and then walked fg ward before the mainmast; after doing which (witness) heard a noise on the quarter-deck, and upon turning round saw the sergeant ap parently running away from the prisoner, who at the same time kicked at the sergeant. Witness immediatelrwalked towards Barton, and desired him to desist which he dfd, inky. tag he would do anything he (witness) ; the witness sent for the master-at-arms, and had the prisoner put in irons until he could forward the case to Captain Hamond, who was then ashore at the dockyard at Antigua. By the Court—The prisoner had similarly committed him self about eight or twelve months before, as was reported to witness. The prisoner submitted quietly to be put in irons, but after he was in irons he broke the padlock of them, and was then put in a strait-waistcoat by order of Captain Hamond (then Captain] of the Salamander). On putting to sea from Antigua witness released the prisoner from irons, and put him at large until the evening of the same day, when the sergeant stated on the quarter-deck that he did not consider his life safe with such a desperate character as Barton at large. Witness consequently ordered the pri soner again into irons, but during the day (weather per- , mitting) he was allowed to remain on the poop for some hours each day. I ordered him (continued the witness)' , into the usual lock-up house in the sponson in the first instance; his manner was strongly excited, as if he had been drinking, but perfectly conscious of what he was doing. When the prisoner was brought on the quarter deck, he was reported by the sergeant to me for upsetting the mess grog, and quarrelling in his mess; but when the sergeant attempted to make the charge, the prisoner inter rupted him by using the threats already named. The prisoner is a hard-working man, but with a bad disposition. Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, of the Salamander, was next called, and statei—l reported John Barton, the prisoner, to Lieutenant Ricketts for upsetting the mess grog, and de stroying the mess things, on the 28th of January, 1847. At Antigua dockyard, On the 28th of January, Corporal Joseph Greaves reported to me that some mess things were broken in my mess in the loft. I went up in the loft to see, and found the mess dinner grog spilt, the basin and plates which were OR the table broken. - In consequence of what Alexander Dickson told me, I then went to Barton, and asked him if he knew anything about breaking the mess things. He said he did not. I then ordered him and Philip Marshall, a marine, on the quarter-deck. I reported the case respecting the breaking of the mess things and spilling the mess grog to the Hon. Mr. Moreton, a midshipman, requesting the case might be brought before the first lieutenant. I began to state to the first lieutenant on the quarter-deck about the breaking of the mess things and spilling the grog, but Barton would not allow me to go on by repeatedly stating that I was a false man, and would swear any man's life away. The first lieutenant then ordered him to be put into the starboard prison. Barton then made a start towards me. I attempted to g struckt m o ofu e t at t h h e i b s a w d a k .) o • f ,• thhee head,made w a h b i c l o h w e a w u i s t e l d i his e to fi s a t itt w m h b i l e e h ; my cap fell on the deck, which I picked up, and ran across the quarter-deck, when the prisoner made a kick at me with his foot, which hit me on the backside; he was then taken my life before. by the master-at-arms to prison. The pr i s on e r ha d threat ened The Hon. Herbert Augustus Moreton, midshipman of the Salamander, confirmed the statement of the sergeant, which was also borne out by Corporal Greaves, and Mr. William Hall, the acting gunner. Mr. Thomas Alexander Telfer, clerk of the Salamander, produced the muster-book of the vessel, wherein the, pri soner appeared as having entered in the Salamander on the . 6th of July, 1841, having been draughted from the Woolwich division. _ _ _ C v.'

The Court was then cleared for deliberation, and remained closed about one hour, at the expiration of which time it was re-opened, and the members were found sitting with their cocked hats on. The witnesses having been called over, The JunGE-AnvocArs read the following sentence:— " The Court is of opinion that the charges have been fully proved against the said John Barton, and doth adjudge him to be hanged by the neck until he is dead, at the yard-arm of such one of her Majesty's ships, and at such time, as the Comissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, &c., for the time being, or any two or more of them, shall direct ; and the said John Barton is hereby ordered so to suffer death by being hanged by the neck as aforesaid accordingly The prisoner seemed quite unmoved at this awful sen tence, and was delivered over to the Provost-Marshal to be detained by him a close prisoner until the sentence is ordered to be carried into effect. He appeared to be a young man, aged about 30. The St. Vincent, 120, is progressing fast in her re-equip ment in the basin. She has had a complete gang of new rigging slow and aloft.

The deputation appointed by the meeting of persons favourable to the Government measure of fducation, held at the Court House of Leeds, on Monday, the Bth of March, at which the Mayor presided, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Hook, Mr. J. G. Marshall, the Rev. W. Sinclair, Mr. J. Gott, the Rev. C. Wicksteed, and Mr. H. Stansfeld, had an interview on Fii lay with the Pre sident of the Council at the Privy Council-office; they were introduced by Lord Morpeth and Mr. Aldam, Member . for Leeds. His Lordship received them very courteously, and entered at once upon the subject. The deputation stated the reason of their soliciting an inter view, and read the resolutions passed at the meeting They then stated what were the popular objections to the measure:- 1. The unconstitutional manner in which it was alleged that the measure was brought forAtrd by a single vote of the House of Commons; to this his Lord ship replied, that this, as the resolution just read to him showed, brought the question annual!) before the con sideration of Parliament, but he remarked that in addi tion to the vote of the House of Commons, both on pro posing the grant and bringing up the report, it could only have the force of law by the Appropriation Ac;, which went through all the forms of the House, and when carried to the House of Lords might there be ob jected to and thrown out in,any stage, ou the ground of its containing this very vote. 2. It was mentioned that objections were raised to the prospects held out to the pupils of normal schools, wile might not show qualities fitting them for the office of teacher. that they should be provided for by situation• in the revenue department ; to this his Lordship replied, that instead of increasing, this rather put a cheek upon the patronage at the disposal of the Government ; these situations were now in their gift, and were conferred without any control ; that under the proposed regula:- tion, instead• of being given to any one whom the -Minister might please to appoint, they would be bestowed upon deserving young men trained in normal schools, if not thought qualified for teaching. 3. An objection was stated that a large amount of patronage would by these minutes be placed at the dis posal of Government, by the appointment of pupil teachers and stipendiary monitors ; to this his Lordship replied, that the patronage would really be vested in the hands of the local managers, and not in those of the Government ; and he could not see how a patronage subjected to so many checks and to full publicity could possibly be abused. 4. On its being mentioned to his Lordship that a great clamour had been raised against the minutes, as de signed to increase the influence of the Church, he re marked that it was very unfounded, for the minutes were framed in the most anxious spirit of fairness, and were intended to improve education, not to interfere with the religious opinions of the people. 5. On its being stated that fears were entertained lest. if several schools were applying at the same time for grants, and the funds at the disposal of Government were limited, an unjust preference might be given to one school over another, his Lordship replied that the principle to be adopted would be that the first applica tion should be the first attended to. 6. It was urged the.t many entertained apprehensions lest inspectors might be appointed to visit shoots who might be tile-I:ions to the religious denomination to which these schools belonged; his Lordsnip expressly declared that ail bodies of Dissenters should enjoy the same safeguard us the Church, and that no inspector should be appointed unacceptatle to the religious coin munion with which the schools were connected. 7. On its being remarked that much opposition would probably cease if it were dsstinctly shown that any school not built with the aid of public money, but which, on requesting inspection, had received annual grants fcr its support, might free itself from inspection by ceasing to receive the annual grant, his Lordship, after some di , eussion and consultation with the other members of the Education Committee then present, declared that he should at cede to this proposal, and be authorised the deputation to make known this determination to those inter, sted in the matter. The deputation left his Lordship with the full convic tion that the measure is proposed and intended to be carried out with perfect fsirness to all parties. FATAL EFFECTS OF ETHER. A case of considerable importance, as affecting the practice lately introduced into toe medical world of subjecting persons about to be operated upon to the influence of ether, by causing them to inhale its vapour in order to render them insensible to pain, has just occurred at Spittlegate, in the county of Lincoln, in which death has resulted from that mode of treat ment. It appArs that a respectable woman of the name of Ann Parkinson, aged twenty-one years, the wife of a hair-dresser at Spittlegate, who had been married eighteen months, and had a child nine months old, had been afflicted with a tumour on the under part of her left thigh for about twelve months, which had gradually increased in size until, from its situation, it became a perpetual torment to her, as she was unable either to sit down or lie in bed with any degree of comfort. Under these circumstances, having read of the many successful cases of operations per formed without pain under the inflaenoe of the vapour of ether, she expressed a wish to her medical attendant, Mr. Robbs. of Grantham, to have ether applied, and the tumour removed. To this, after consult ing other medical men, he consented ; and on Tuesday, the 9th inst., at one o'clock, she was subjected to the influence of the ether, and the operation was performed by Mr. Robbs in the presence of three other medical men. Unfortunately, however, the poor woman never rallied, but remained in a state of complete prostration until five o'clock on Thursday morning, when she died without the slightest reaction having taken place subse quent to the operation. At the inquest, held on Monday, evidence was given that the deceased was of an extremely delicate constitu tion, and that ether was administered to her several times previous to the day fixed upon. for the operation, in order to try its effects, and she was found to bear it very well. On the appointed day, Mr. Robbs (who acknowledged he had no faith in the ether part of the affair) performed the operation, in the presence of seve ral medical man. For about ten minutes Mrs. Parkin son was reduced to a state of unconsciousness, when the operation of removing the tumour commenced, and she appeared to feel the first cut, as she made a deep moan, whereupon ether was again applied. Tile ope ration proceeded during the time the vapour was in haling the second time. Mrs. Parkinson was laid upon her stomach upon a table, and upon every incision made during the operation she moaned, and appeared to feel it ; but, she did not appear to feel anything when the different vessels were being tied up. When sbe was taken from the table and laid on the bed, she had a little brandy and water before the operation was over, which she swallowed readily, and a little more when she was t p b u o t t w o o b u e n d d . w S a h s e did dre s n s o e u t a a p i p t a r r the to ose operation much blood,and ha t n daged, and when put to bed she appeared to be c onscious. She did not appear to rally at all from that time. On the following day she remained iu the same low state, and Mr. Robbs saw her more than once, and sent her medicine, which was administered, and a little thin gruel and tea was given her by his dtrections, which was all the nourishment she took On Wednesday she om plained of a numbness in both legs and the 1. , w. r part of her back, and ho. bottles were uppli d by Mr. Roehs' directions, but she was not relieve d. On the Thur.day morning, about twenty minutes past five o'clock, she died without uttering a groan. From the time the operation was performed till her death she never moved by her own power. At the conclusion of the ev:det ce, the CORONER, having duly cautioned Mr. Robbs, requested to linow whether he was desirous of making any statement relative to the case? Upon which that g ntlemln deser bet the rum ner in which the vapour tad be n inhaled, ani stated that thy operation lasted 25 minutes, incl,dieg ;he t of the vessels, the remainder ut the tune being by the inhala ion and the neees,my windagin, &c.

D. Barker, Esq., Deputy-Coroner, resumed his inquiries into the cause of the deaths of the late unfortunate sufferers at Oaks -colliery. After hearing the evidence of G. Pickering, Nicholas Wood, coal viewer, of Newcastle (whom the coroner had sent for to attend the inquest), Joseph Hardcastle, Joseph Beaumont, agent to Field, Cooper, and Co. at Wotshro', T. Drury , Wm. Coo ke, David Crossley, Jas. Ilttley, Matthew Haigh, and Mr. George Wilson, the Coroner summed up, and the jury retired. After as absence of about forty minutes, the jury returned into Court, and the foreman handed in the following verdict : Acei6ental death. " The jury at the same time wish to state that they are of opinion that efficient regulations are not enforced in this district to prevent the use of naked lights in those parts of mines where inflammable gas is known to exist, and are further of opinion that the recurrence of accidents involving so large a loss of human life, demand e regulations as Ne i mining opera the immed m ia:e attention of her Majestv's Governent, and justify Paniament in passing such a code of ouhi give security to persons employed i i lions.

The body of Abramhe should comply Matthews, the last re maining sufferer in the, 't pit, was gut out to-day. an experiment with reference to the in the potato crop which, under existing circumstances, and especially at this period of the year, appears well deserving of the most serious consideration, and to which, with year permission, I will again seek to draw public attention. A copy of this letter appeared in your paper of the 16th ult., but as a very diAtuct and close reference to the de tails of the experitnt-ut as then given is necessary to a thorough appr,hension of what is to follow, I would beg the favour of jour re-;.tinting the following extract from it. After a short introductory observation, Doctor Swan proceeds- " flaring read an cc. cunt of the application of elec tricity as a stimulant to the growth of plants, by Dr. Forster, and others, I, c..rly in April last, marked off in my garden (a rich l.,amy soil) oblong plot of ground, due north and south, containii.g twelve ridges of the usual width. Into , :he four corners of the plot I drove 1) : ,,e o g :: d i r e sap:prsgre(g,asam,nddanbtdhu the x inch, s t e t t: gn w dh i wire stretched fteheet hsuigrlze f we r , o es m r: then placed_ in a line due north and south, seven yards apart, down the centre of the plot, and a wire carried from the centre of the buried wire, on the north, over the top of the poles, and attached to the centre of the buried wire on the south side, and left to collect the electricity of the atmosphere, and convey it to the plot beneath. " The ground was planted about the 20th of April with tail), Scow red potatoes, without manure; and twelve ridges t tht east, planted with the usual quen. tity of mixed manure. Both teemed equally healthy and luZuriant in the month of July, from which I quite lost thought of them, owing td the total destruction of the rest of my potato crop, until the end of November, wiwn, to my utter astonishment, a better or wore pro ductive crop of sound, mealy, large potatoes, without the least appearance of rot, I have never seen dug, though nine of the twelve manured ridges outside the comlosure were totally destroyed; the three next it having a few small sound potatoes. • " fh:s fact I kok on as worthy of consideration; not that electricity is likely to become a substitute for manure, but as it tends to show that disease the potato crop of the nest year was owing to atmospheric influen, t c‘ierally believed, to the de. predations, in the first instance, of animalculse, which are the consequence, not the cause, of decay." The letter cowhides by an expression of the writer's conviction of the efficacy of conductors, properly ad justed, in preserving the potato from blight, and his In tention to. plant more largely under their protection during the present season. Early tastes and pursuits had led me a good deal into the wide and interesting field of chemical reading and research, and nowhere in the course of my application to it had my attention been so much interested as by the well ascertained proofs of the extraordinary influence of electricity, in reference to the economy both of animal and vegetable life ; and in turning my thoughts —and who has not done so ?—to the probable cause of the blight in the potato crop of the two last years, I was irresistibly led to the conclusion which the re sult of Dr. Swan's experiment has gone, in my opinion, a considerable way to verify. Under these circum stances it will not seem strange that upon the appear ance of his letter I was strongly impressed with the im portance of the result of his experiment, and which was rendered the more interesting from its peculiar cir cumstance that the result aimed at, the application of electricity as a substitute for manure, was not that which was fortunately realised—namely, the preservation of the root or tuber. I had in consequence a few hundred copies of the letter printed, and ch a stributed pretty freely among the landed proprietors and agriculturists of the Adjacent counties, and I had the gratification to find my communication try promptly responded to by several highly respeciab', and nitluential persons. I was, amongst others, favoured with a letter from Sir Gerald Ayherr, a ho, as many of your readers cannot fail to be a -tire, is a very intensive landed propri-tor in the :adjacent county of lii , i,lare, and a scien tific practical agri,aliturist. In the le ter Sir Gerald states, and I have his iierinission to menhon the circum stance upon his autherity, that he had lung previously arrived at the conclu,ain that the potato blight of the last and preceding )ear was attributable to the effect of electricity ; that under this impression he had, in the spring 01 last year, had a ridge of the usual description plant,d close along side of a wooden paling, the upright slabs or pieces of which were bound to.::!tloir at the top by an iron hoop for its entire length, and which he reasonably assumed would ' act as a cons-uctor. In this ridge, when dug out, there was not a sin. le unsound potato. although his crops in ail other places suffered in the same way as those of his neighbours. From the Wears. Baits, of Rath mo3 le, in the same county, who are admittedly the most extensive growers of the potato in this country, their crop on last year having, been, as I am aware, little short of 150 acres, I had a similar communication, staling that their i xperience and observation had quite led them to agree in the opinion that electrical agency was the immediate cause I•ht the late blight of the potato, and that they had determined to try. the aLect of conductors placed over their crop of this year ; and in several other communications from highly respect able persons, I found a general concurrence in similar opinions. Under these circumstances I deemed it only rigbt to apply to Dr. Swan, and to request that he would enable me to afford to parties who, in their replies to my previous communication, had made inquiry as to various matters of detail, such information or advice as his previous ex perience might enable him to oiler. His reply appears to me to contain a number of suggestions, the manifest importance of which will, I trust, appear to you a suffi cient excuse for my request that it may also be given to the public through the medium of your columns. It is as follows: "College, Donegal, bth March, 1847. " Dear Sir,—Accept my thanks for your letters, as well as for the trouble you have taken with mine of the 6th ult., to the Council of the Royal Dublin Society. " The privations and sufferings I have witnessed in the discharge of my duties as a dispensary physician for the last three months, have made me most anxious, if pos sible, to fix the attention of scientific gentlemen on this momentous subject, as nothing can be more cer tain than that an electric state of the atmosphere, whatever may be the peculiar phase of that electricity, is the cause of the potato blight. Indeed, its pro tection by metallic tractors, as in my experiment, though badly adjusted to accomplish that end, places this beyond a doubt. On this principle the various forms of decay in the potato can be satisfactorily explained. The total destruction in the ground, its decay after being taken up and stored away apparently sound, as well as the rotting of the seed in the ground, are attributable to the injury sustained from this active agent by the vital principle of the tuber prior to its detachment from the parent stem.
