Their teeth are unchange able in colour, and perfectly resemble the original. Decayed teeth permanently filled and restored to use, superseding extraction. NIGHT LIGHTS. The breakage and uncertain burning of Rushlights render them useless. The dirt, smoke, and smell from Oil, is very disagree able. The inconvenience in not ' , Ong able to move the common Mortar, after beiag lighted, and the liability of the paper taking Ore, make them extremely dangerous articles, and should not be used. All these defects are remedied in CLARKE'S PATENT MORTAR LAMPS and LAMP MORTARS. They are clean, elegant, economical, and safe, give three times the light of all Mortars with paper round, they can be carried with out extinguishing the light, and have neither smell or smoke.

COMFORT FOR TENDER FEET, AND A CERTAIN CURE FOR CORNS AND BUNIONS. PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND, which gives RELIEF on the FIRST APPLICATION. PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND (CORN PLAISTER) is ge nerally admitted to be the best emollient application for Corns and Bunions, and is worthy of a trial on the part of those who are afflicted with such unpleasant companions. Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence, as well as from many Officers of both Army and Navy, and nearly one thousand private letters from the gentry in town and country, speaking in high terms of this valuable remedy. Prepared by John Fox, in boxes at Is. 1 1 / 5 d., or three small boxes in one for 2s. 9d.; and to be had, with full directions for use, of C. King, 34, Napier street, Hoiton New-town, London; and all whole sale and retail medicine vendors, In town and country. The genuine has the mime of "John Fox" on the stamp. A 2s. 9d. box cures the most obdurate oorns. Ask for " Paul's Every Man's Friend."

GOLD' SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the Imitation, or German Silver front the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it Is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TARLET o: GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imhttion for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the tint cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made.

The breeding of th em was at one perio d a l moo t entirely' confined to a trib e o f gipsies, but the secret got known and went abroad. I n G reat Britain, even to t hi s d ay , the best description o f leeches are procure d f rom th e con tinent. In Ceylon, where the variety of leeches are more numerous, perhaps, than in any part of the world, the propagation of the sort used in phlebotomy is made a secret of. In India the leech propagators do all they can to keep the knowledge to themselves. This has not, however, prevented one of our most tic complisbed naturalists and botanists from propagating these valuable reptiles with the greatest success, so much so, it.deed, as to be a great saving to Govern ment in furnishing the hospitals. Major Blenkins is the gentleman to whom we allude, and to whom we take this opportunity of returning thanks for the pe rusal of his curious and very interesting . paper on this subject. Burnt earthen vessels, commonly called " cot tee pots," are used for this purpose, of globular shape or form, being three feet in circumference, one ditto in height, and with mouth six inches in diameter, each pot being two-thirds filled with stiff black earth , con taining a good portion of clay. To this add four hands ful of finely-powdered dry goat or cow dung, two handsfuls of dried hemp leaves, finely powdered, with twe ounces of assofcetida. The vessel is then filled ti within three inches of the mouth with water, and the whole mixed up with a wand or stick. Leeches of full on, and put, ninete en ord glutted from, growth, and of the largest size, are req u i re d for plleaeceehd propa gation, varying, perhaps , from three to fi ve i nc h es i t n h e length, a human twenty into each vessel; an earthen cover is th en pl ace d over the mouth; and th e whole smeared ov er w ith a of no w-dung and earth, coating and placed i n a sheltered spot, free from wind and sun. After th e bfthedry. being g he space of twenty-five days or a month, on the cover being moved off, about twenty cacoons will be found, of the size of a sparrow's egg, and longer, and of a spongy nature. On being carefully torn open with the finger, from five to fifteen small leeches will emerge. All of these are then placed in a pot of water, into which a table-spoonful of sugar has been thrown. Aften ten days it is requisite to feed them with blood from the hu man body for a period of three months, when they will have attained the usual size for application. During the warm months, after a respite (it ten days or so, the breeding leeches can again be placed as above. described. The leech appears to live about eighteen months, and any number can be procured in this way. —Colonial Magazine.

PRICE SD. no money, they had taken it for the last thirteen years He would ask, in conclusion, whether the people or the Government would suffer the very salvation of this country to be delayed by the objections of a compara tively small sec ti on ? H e sa id c omparatively, for, notwithstanding their r es p e ct a bility in other points, compared with the people at large, the Dissenters were a small party. H e was sure t h at , a tt er t h e excitinent that existed on this subject had passed away, those who were opposed to the Government scheme at presentwouid gladly avail themselves of the assistance that was now offered with so liberal a hand, and that they would joie together to advance the moral, social, and religious im provement of those classes in this country, who, if they were suffered to remain in their present state of degrada tion, would be the cause of the destruction of the country, instead of being the elements of its succes. S. J. LOYD, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried after a few observations from Mr. CAMPBELL, who stated that the working classes were in favour of the measure of Government. The Right Rev. the Bishop of LANDAYF moved the fol lowing resolution:— " Vint it is the duty of a wise and paternal Government to promote religious and moral instruction, as the best means of preventing crime, and securing a succession of good and useful citizens, and that this meeting, believing ignorance to be one of the prolific sources of vice, con siders it a solemn 'duty to support such public measures as may tend to remedy the social evils which are the result of moral and religious destitution." J. LABOUCHERE, Esq., seconded the resolution, which, after a few words in its behalf from a gentleman named SCARBOROUGH, was carried amid some dissent. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL proposed the following reso lution : "That the experience of many years has now proved the inadequacy of voluntary exertions for supplyitz the educational wants of the poor and industrial classes of the community, and this meeting views with satisfaction the measures which have been recently announced by her Majesty's Government, offering asststalice to voiun— tary efforts without superseding them, and at the same time respecting the religious scruples of those who de cline to acknowledge the Established Church as the authorised teacher of the people." If they prevented by opposition to this measure the intentions of Government, their gaols would be multi plied, and the number of criminals would be more than doubled in a short time. He did not believe that they could restore the good days of Alfred, when gold might be left untouched; but still education could effect a great deal in diminishing crime. He believed, if parties had not come there with minds prejudiced, that the resolution which he had the honour to propose would be adopted at once. The Dissenters, as had been already stated, had received Government assistance for thirteen years. The Govern ment measure would have the effect, by the examination of the schools which it proposed, of introducing into seminaries, both Church and Dissenting, a more rigid attention to an improved system of education. He denied that this mea sure would give more patronage to the Government. The penal schools, one of the benefits proposed by this measure, were of the greatest value; for could anything be more desir able than to have an asylum where information, not further corruption, could be obtained? They should not sacrifice the good of millions to their own petty prejudices and ani.. mosities. _ Mr. J. POWLES briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried by a large majority. J. Carron, Esq., then proposed the following resolution : " That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor for his kindness in presiding on the present occasion, and that his Lordship be requested to transmit to the President of the Privy Council a copy of the resolutions that have been now adopted." Mr. DAVIS seconded the resolution, which was carried amid much applause. The meeting then separated. DESTRUCTION OF THE STEAMER GRANAUILE BY FIRE.--AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Thursday.) A most melancholy catastrophe, attended with consi derable loss of life, took place yesterday morning (Wed nesday), on board the Granauile steamer, hound tiom Liverpool to Drogheda, when about thirty miles east of Lambay. The accounts of this very painful and fatal accident were various and confused, but from the best inquiry that the nature of the case and the time would permit, we were enabled to collect the following facts, which may be relied on as correct as far as they go The ill-fated steamer left Liverpool about eight o'clock on Tuesd ty night, bound for Drogheda. She was cora mended by Captain Bowden, who is said to be an ex perieneed seaman—was laden with flax and wheat, and carried a considerable number of passengers—some say 250—others about 150, while others state the number at 100 ; but on this point nothing satisfactory could be ascertained, as it appears that a considerable portion of the passengers were persons who had gone tweLiver pool with the view of emigrating to America, but being unable to find vessels in Liverpool, were re turning ligttin.. These parties being provided with free tickets, their names did not appear on the ship's bouks. Many of the passengers w e re c a ttle d ea l ers , an d fr o m a con versation with one of them, it appears that about six A.m., and after the steamer had passed Holyhead, all on board were roused by the cry of '• Fire, fire,"—an an ful rush took place towards the deck, and the confusion be came so great, and the people so alarmed, that none of them we met appear to have any knowledge of the state of facts, or the condition of the ship. The only thin. , they remembered was that the vessel was on fire—the bunkers or coal-holds having ignited in the fi- st in stance. Every exertion was made to subdue the destructive element, but the vessel being so crowded, and the consternation so terrific, the efforts made to save her were retarded, and proved unsuccessful. The scene, as might be expected, is said to have been one of the most harrowing nature. For a long time the captsin was most sanguine in his hopes of subduing the fire. In this state, the fire raging below, but not app. aring above, the vessel kept on her course till about seven o'clock, when she was observed by the Betsy, fishing smack of Ringsend, belonging to Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. William Pullen, of the same place, the latter of whom, the skipper, was on board the Bessy at the time, when those of the passengers and crew who were on deck were rescued from their awful condition. The crew of the Bessy consisted of Mr. Pullen, John Parker, his mate. George Upham, and a boy named William Symes, an apprentice. Pullen's account of the transaction is very meagre. lle says that between six and seven o'clock, he saw a steamer in the distance, and thought she was in distress from the way " she went about." After some observations and converse with the crew, he bore down on her, and on nearing her, found her on fire, the people on board screaming, and many of them clineing to her sides. At the time Pullen came up, the flame had not burst out, but was still confined to the interior. He and his crew took sixty-nine persons on board, by the aid of boats—the smack standing off lest the fire might be communicated. The brave fellow, to use his own words—" was anxious .to save the people," and was so absorbed that he could give a very poor account of the transaction. His mate, John Parker, whGse exertions were equal to those of his commander, appears to have been more observant, and gives a more circumstantial and detailed account of the calamity. He said—" that a little after sunrise they saw a steamer about thirty miles east of Latnbay, but did not notice her much at first; they thought there was something wrong, as she did not appear to be moving. On closer observation they saw a steady dark cloud of smoke issue from her, but did not know, or even suspect, that she was on fire at the time. They were steering about south-east by east at the time, and in the direc tion of the steamer. When they came nearer, he called the skipper, and remarked that he thought the steamer Was on fire. The skipper looked out. and said " She is nn fire—there's a boat astern—lie up to her." They made all way towards her, and came close to the boat. There were about eight or nine persons in it at the time, whom they put on board the smack. Parker and his companions then got into the boat, and went to render the people on board the wreck all the assistance they could. Their own small boat was on hoard, and George Upham, of the Bessy, lowered it, and got into it by him self, and pulled for the steamer." At this portion of the brave fellow's narrative he was interrupted by George Upham, a fine athletic young fellow, who said, " Ye 4, I took off a good many in that boat, hut the crew of the steamer didn% assist me, and what I thought worse of them all was the loss of a poor old woman whom I thought to get in four times, but I missed her and she sunk." Parker—" Yes, I saw you, brave lad, at that; you did your beat." Parker then went on to state that they went four or five times to the steamer with the boats and took off every living soul on and about the steamer. " The last he took off (he said) was a poor woman and her child." The woman was clinging to a rope for a long time, and when rescued said that only for a knot that was on it she would have been unable to hold for half the time. As soon as they all got on board the smack they inquired for the captain and heard he was over board. They then went in search of the captain in the steamer's drift, and, after some time, found him with a life- buoy attached to his person. They took him below and used all the means in their power to restore him, but all to no use, though he showed signs of life when first taken out of the water continued The crew of the Bessy seeing all hope of saving the vessel at an end, bore straight for Dublin (where she arrived about six o'clock yesterday evening), and s oon and dt the sig general htofth imest epreamsean was, rio.Non None that oti she boardsaw her still to float when they lost sight of her. When Pullen and his — humane companions got the people on board, they bore away from the steamer. The tire by this time had burst forth above with great fury, and seemed likely soon to effect the destruction of the vessel. The heat emitted was almost unendurable, and the bellowings of an unfortunate bull on deck, as the flames surrounded him, are described as most terrific. From all we could learn from the mate, who stated that he checked the tickets, he did not think there were more than thirty passengers lost, but he could not be sure, as there were a good many persons going back to Drog heda free, and their names were not entered on the books. The mate said there might be about sixty lost, and he feared some were smothered with the smoke below. All w h o were on deck, or clinging to the v essel , When the Bessy re ac h e d were save d, including fort y -five passengers and t wen t y -f our o f t h e crew---7 l a ll man had his leg broken jumpi n g into t h e n boat with One a THE GOVERNMENT SCHEME OF ED UCATION. A numerously attended meeting of the friends and supporters of this measure was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to the chair. The platform was filled with several Pre lates of the Church of England, merchants, and other .gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN said that he took the chair with great pleasure, a most respectable deputation h av i ng so li c i ted him to presid e an d to lend his assistance to that impor tant question, which would be shortly discussed by per sons more competent than he was to do justice to its merits. As chief magistrate he thought it was his duty to give them all the assistance in his power to the best of his abilities. He believed that it was agreed upon all hands that the state of education in this country was lamentably deficient, and therefore steps had been taken by Government to afford increased education to the great mass of their fell Ow-subjects. It was a matter of sur prise to him to find that when the want of efficient edu cation in this country was admitted by all classes of persons, that still a strong opposition should be given to the present measure of Government, the principle cf which had formerly been approved of. He must say that he was at a loss to understand that, more particu cularly as it arose from their friends the Dissenters, an intelligent body, who generally commenced and fol lowed up good works. They might think that the Church Establishment would possess under this measure, too much patronage. He thought that was an unworthy jealousy.—(Cheers, and " No, no.") Ile was glad to hear some one say " No, no," because he thought it would be a reflection on that body if they did not carry , lut those views which they advocated from such motives. He could not help thanking the Government for having given them that assistance, and he trusted that those who dissented from the Church would co-operate with them in carrying out this measure.—(Hear, hear.) He 'regretted that he was not accustomed to public speaking, that he might do more justice to the subject, and would conclude by calling on the Bishop of London to move the first resolution.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON said that the resolution which he should have the honour to propose was couched in the following terms That the official re ports of the inspectors of schools, and of various associa tions, showed that a great deficiency existed in elementary education, and that until means had been taken to improve the quality, as well as the quantity of elementary education, there would be little hopes of amendment in the _social and moral condition of the community." He felt it his duty to come forward on the present occasion and declare his sentiments on a question of the most vital importance, not merely to that Church in which he held office, but to the country at large. He believed that an extensive system of education was essential to the continuance or rather the improvement of their moral character. He could not consider this movement in any other character than as a great moral reformation. This movement was neither more nor less than this,—whether or not the tide of knowledge, instead of faltering, should be allowed altogether to be destroyed. The question was whether it should be augmented or retarded, because, according to the opinion of some, who considered that, however beneficial it might be to the country at large, it might be injurious to their sectarian interests, and that civili zation would be rolled back. He was not at present speaking of this question in its religious aspect. It was upon education that moral and social improvement de pended, and he would take the liberty of proving his assertion of the connexion that existed between want of instruction and moral depravity. There was, indeed, a strong connexion between physical destitution and moral depravity, and he was delighted to see the efforts that were made by Government for the last few years to im ,prove the physical condition of the people, and he was glad to see the present Government follow the example of their predecessors in this particular, and take up the point where they had left off.—(Hear, hear.) In order to show the connexion that existed between Ignorance and crime it would be neces-ary to state some of the statistics on the subject. In 1841, there were only 29 persons convicted who were instructed. In the county of Middlesex it appeared that for two years there was not one educated convict. By educated he did not mean merely those who could read and write, but who had received that instruction which developed the faculties of the human mind, and which alone de served the name of education. In 1846 more than 1.600 were committed to the House of Correction in Coldbath fields, only 53 of whom were tried at Middlesex Ses sions. That showed not merely the connexion of igno rance and crime, but it also shows d the vast cost of leaving the community uneducated. The cheapest ex periment they could try would be to educate the people. If one-tenth part of the money that had been spent up .n the erection of prisons, in transportation, and up, n hulks, had been laid o u t u p on crimit.ali when young, what a difference would he se( n in the serial state of the country at present. In Middlesex, during 31 months, only 23 ' , eery young.,boys were in custody. From 1836 to 1845 tt:e number of persons charged gieh crime was 252,544, of whom 84,445 could not read or write, 23,154 could read and write, and 22,154 had received a good education. From most authentic accounts it was shown that where education had been obtained the amount of crime was comparatively small, but that where it did not exist it was with the greatest .litficulty that obedience to the law was obtained. Then it was clearly established that a close connexion existed netween ignorance and depravity, and no further illus trations were required on this part of the subject. The next point to be proved was, that there was a great de ficiency in the means of education. That such was the case was admitted on all hands, for, after all the efforts that had been made, there were at present from 800,000 to 1,000,000 persons in the country who were altogether destitute of education. That a sixteenth of the popula tion should be in this condition was a great reproach to the country. Me would here state that he thought it was the duty of both Dissenters and the members of the Church of England to educate their children in their own belief, fur he did not mean to assert that Dissenting education was less valuable than that conferrei by the Church. He would not treSpass on their time, or he could read several communications from the National Society which spoke in the most deplorable terms of the vice that exists in this country, the causes of which they were quite unable to e,unteract. There were 2,000,000 children who were altogether without the means of pro- curing a good education, and entirely exposed to the in fluence of a bad education. That brought him to the ques lion as to what means were to be adopted to remedy that evil. He must, even at the risk of exciting the displeasure of some of those present, say a few words as to the comparative claims of the Church of England and Dis senters as to education. It had been said for some time that Dissenters were more in earnest on the question of education.—(Hear, hear.) Let them now hear what he was going to state. The schools first instituted in this country for poor children were entirely Church schools. After the establishment of this Christian society, in 1750, 5,000 children were educated in Church schools, and up to 1758 more than 40,000 children had been educated in the Church of England schools. In the • middle of the last century, in justice to the Dissenters, he must say, that they mine into the field and afterwards availed them. selves of Mr. Lancaster's scheme of education. But the Church of England adopted the system of Dr. Bell, which was considered superior, and both went on pari passu. In 1813 the number of children in the national schools was 400.000, in the Church of England schools in 1833 it was 40,048; in 1847, as far as he could recollect, speaking of daily schools only, the number of children in the Dissenters' schools was 70.000, and in those of the Church of England, 957,000.—(Cheers.) They would _allow - him, then, to ask them if Government desired to come forward and to furnish them with a more liberal hand with the means of education ; was the Church of Eng land not entitled to consideration in the subject ? it might, indeed, be said that Government might have con fined itself to secular education, but Government well knew that the Church would not accept any such scheme, and they never would consent to deficient religious and ' secular education. They protested altogether against the separation of religious and secular education, as the fact was that it was their object to make the future con dition of the human being the whole object of education. When that was not done education had failed to effect its object, and it was owing to that circumstance many evils existed at the present time. He did nut mean that the education should be entirely religious, but it must be taken as the foundation. Therefore, the Government could not have proposed any scheme such as that, as they could not leave out of their considera tion the Church of England, or forget it was the educator of the people of this country. No doubt the Dissenters were entitled also to consideration. If the one received assistance from extraneous sources, so should the other. That was the language of Government for some time, and the Church agreed to accept assistance on these conditions. The same assistance had been accepted by the Dissenters from the public funds. No change was now proposed in principle. It was merely proposed to afford a larger amount to render the existing system more effective. But the Dissenters now came forward, and said they would have nothing at all, because the Church would get the most. He expected that such would be the case, and that the Church would get the most, because she gave most.—(Cheers, and some dis sent) He dealt with facts. He should wish to know why Government should withhold its aid because a small section of the people might oppose with a veto. The Go vernment could not in any e , scheme they might propose get rid of the agency of the Church. —(A cry of " No, no.") If that gentleman would hear the conclusion or his sentence he would find that there was seldom anything to object to. The Go vernment could no more do without the Church in edu cation than they could do with the Dissenters. There was one element very important to the consideration of the subject, though upon that they did not stand, namely, that the Church was an established institution, and therefore entitled to consideration. Besides, it had for 100 years been educating the people. The Go vernment scheme proposed a more efficient system of inspection. (More disapprobation.) He understood what that meant. —[A voice—" The Dissenters want money without being looked after." Another voice in the body of the room—" We want no money."] H e would wish to know from that gentleman, who threw money to the dogs, what they could without it do to educate that million of children? He would ask that gentleman, or rather those gentlemen who dissented fr o m his obserratiOnst bow it Wm) that, if they 4 virauted -7 ,/'2 _ c .4 . ~~ l.y child in his arms—three women were injured, and I child scalded. The injured persons were sent to Bag ! got-street Hospital on the arrival of the Bessy. - The above are the particular facts connected with this sad affair ; in addition to which the following general information was obtained :—When the first alarm of fire was given, one of the steamer's boats was lowered,• but the rush of people into her was so grab that she swamped and almost all perished. The crew of the steamer, with the exception of the captain, were all saved ; and Parker s t ates that the mate told ' him the , unfortunate gentleman could have saved himself, but that he refused to abandon his vessel while there was the most remote chance of saving her, and that he vowed he would not stir until passengers and crew were all: safe—a determination which cost him his life, for it appears in the last extremity he took the life buoy and jumped overboard.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 16.—This morning, about half-plet five o'clock, a man-of-war steamer was seen making teat* `Shithead from the eastward. About seven o'clock Arita made ont to be a Portuguese, with the national'flag gyinge• - She did not communicate with the port or the Recruit at Spitbead, but made towards Cowes, heaving -to there for a short time, and then hoisted foretopsail, and made all speed towards the westward. This looked very suspicious, and as there bare been directions received for the capture and de tention of two deserters of this description from the Queen of Portugal, the Fairy, royal yacht, being the only steam vessel in port, was dispatched after her, taking some twelve' marines and an assistant-surgeon from the Victoria and Al bert. Commander Crispin took the command of the expedi tion, and now the Fairy showed the value of her matchless speed, as, although the Portuguese had two hours' start, with the distance from Portsmouth harbour to Cowes be sides in her favour, the Fairy came up with her, and Com mander Crispin ascertained her to be a hired vessel, fated for the service of the Queen of Portugal, and on her way to Lis bon. The circumstance created no small degree of bustle and gossip during the absence of the Fairy. The Dee steam-transport, Master-Commander Driver, ar rived most opportunely to-day from Ireland, just as the Re cruit, 12, Commander Slade, bad given up the attempt to get into harbour under canvass, and towed her in. The Myrtle steam-ressel, Master-Commander Balliston, arrived to-day from Plymouth. Sir Wm. gurnett, F.R.S., Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy, has been at this port dur ing the present week, making his official annual inspection of the various medical departments. In Harbour.—The St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, Thetis, Recruit, and Victoria and Albert; Fairy, Dee, and Myrtle steam-vessels. In Dock.—The Prince Regent, Leander, Ajax, Champion, Serpent, and Undine. In the Basin.—Britannia, Retribution, and Kestrel. On the Slips.—Royal Frederick, 110; Princess Royal, 90; and Arrogant, 46. CHATHAM, APRIL 16.—The Arab, 1 6 guns, recently launched from this yard, was taken into dock on the 14th inst.; she was masted the day before, and she is to be fitted immediately for commission. The Semarang. 26 guns, fitted for a guard-ship for G ib al tar, is ordered to take a car.to of provisions for that port. The Terpsichore, 18 gun corvette, and the Antelope steam packet, for the lonian Isles, have been taken in hand by the dockyard, to be prepared for commission. The Duck and the Rochester naval lighters arrived from Plymouth and Portsmouth yards. Air. James Helby and Mr. Joseph Chase, measurers of Portsmouth yard, are to be removed to this jard, to be mea surers here; and Mr. William Hutchins, measurer in Devon port.yard, is to be measurer in this yard. Woomicit, APRIL 16.—The Hydra steam-vessel, Com mander Morrell, has had her rigging taken down, and will be paid off here in the early part of next week. The Blenheim, 72-guns, fitted with a screw propeller, was taken out of dock to-day, and the Amphion steam-frigate will be taken into dock to-marrow. The Blenheim is to be taken into the basin, to be made ready for trial down the river. The speed attained by the Rifleman wooden steam-vessel during her last trial, on an average of four times down and four times up the river, at the measured mile in Long ]:each, was about seven knots per hour; and the speed of the Sharpshooter iron steam-vessel, under precisely similar cir cumstances, an the following day (Tuesday last), was about nine-and-a-half knots; both vessels being fitted with screw propellers. . . The Vixen steam-vessel was taken out of dock on Wed neslay, and the Black Eagle taken into dock yesterday and out again yesterday afternoon, the injury she sustained by touching a buoy in the harbour being of a rery trifling nature. The Princess Alice steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Scriven, has been taken into the basin, and her repairs are ( xpected to require about a month to complete them. One of the galvanized iron blocks made by Lennox and Co. was tested yesterday afternoon, with a hook of a stronger de scription than those formerly used. The chain passing through the block broke on reaching a strain of five-and-a-half tons. The block did not appear to be in the slightest degree affected by this great strain, and the riveting of the hook to it re mained perfect. The wheel of the block, on being moved mind, circulated with as much freedom as it did before the trial—a proof that the steam had no influence on the axle— or any part of the block to cause a derangement. It is a F singular circumstance connected with these blocks, which subsequently acquire such great power, that they are, when first made, as brittle as glass, and require the greatest care when handled by the workmen. The value of the invention will be considerable to the navy it they are found to resist the action of salt water and the spray they are liable to be subjected to during sea voyages. MUTINY ON THE HIGH SEAS. PLYstouni, TntAtsDAY.—During the past week a case of an extraordinary character has been undergoing investiga tion before W. H. Hawker and Joseph Whitefo d, Evqs., two of the borough magistrates ; and the matter has ex cited greater interest than any question which has come before our court since the case of the Brazilian pirates. Ten men, constituting nearly the whole of the crew of the James Campbell, a barque of three hundred tons, belonging to Glasgow, bound for Batavia, and thence to Singapore, came into this port on Thursday last, having their master, Mr. William Graham, in custody, bound, and kept guard over by the men in turns, the seamen saying that they were afraid from his known violence that he would do them some serious harm. The case was first briefly heard on Friday ; it was then adjourned till Tuesday, and has been continued from day to day since. When the ship was brought into port, the first mate went to Lloyd's agent, and acquainted him with the circumstances that led to the cap tain's being taken into custody by his men ; but subsequently the crew were given into custody, all but the first mate and the steward, who were left free till Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, when they were also taken into custody, and only a boy was left free. Tue circumstances arose out of the intemperate language and manners of the captain, who, it appears, has already been tried at the Central Criminal Court for knocking down a man on board a vessel of which he was the commander, for which offence it is stated that he was imprisoned for six months. He has also been fined 5/. at tha court at Madras for a si milar offence. At the same time the course the prisoners have pursued in bringing the ship home hag, it is said; occa sioned a loss of at least 1,2001. The evidence was of great length, and this evening the bench, after deliberating, committed the whole of the pri soners for trial to the next assizes, with the exception of Nettles, the steward, who was discharged. BLACK AND WHITE DISTINCTIONS.—Four of the 4,000 Ethiopian ,tierenaders, ut priisent in England, up pli,d fir berths on board the Cambria, to return to their native Ethiopia, but were refused on account of their colour. It was only when they had taken the soot off their faces, and had washed their hands of the foul dis• grace (if being genuine blacks, that they were allowed to associate with the American passengers. - We wonder the Yankees, in their l'atred of everytfing black, do nor, when they represent Othello, make him a white general. —Punch.
