JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary. PRICE SD. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 18.—The Sidon steam-frigate came into harbour this morning. A rumour has got afloat that Lord Howden has taken so strong a fancy to the warlike ap pearance of this vessel as to prefer going in her to the Rat tler. We cannot, however, trace the rumour to any substan • tial foundation, and as the Rattler has shipped all the bag gage and equipages of the new Minister, we ddubt not that she will take him also. The Sidon is very much admired both internally and externally by every naval man who bas inspected her. Much has been said about the vast expense this vessel's machinery has already been to the Government, but it has not been stated that such expenses are out of the pockets of the contractors. The Centaur steam-frigate, under jury masts, and com manded by M. Davy, master of the Caledonia, left this morn ing fur Kenmare, Ireland, with 800 sacks of barley and oats, for seed only, which was of a most splendid quality; about 1,000 bags of bread, and the same quantity of meal for the relief service; also six sacks of prime turnip seed. The Portland, 50, is being loaded, but. if laden according to her capabilities she will occupy the Clarence-yard officers about two months, as, being divested of ornament, ammu nition, stores, and such like, she could stow 10,000 sacks of food. The Fairy royal yacht was docked this morning, not to remedy any alleged' vibration in the vessel caused by the screw, as has been stated for a very apparent purpose, bt t to have her bottom -coated with a composition suggested by the chi mica! officer (Mr. IIay) of this dockyard, at the re commendation of a committee, of which captain Crispin. of the Royal Yacht, Mr. Fincham, master shipwright, and other officers of this establishment, are members.. This com position has already bsen tried, and found to answer well on iron vessels; its effect is that of keeping the vessel clean by a chymical action, dependent on the decoMposition of a sub-oxide of copper, which forms one of the materials of the application. The Fairy is to be employ e d during the time her services will not be required by her Majesty in testing the comparative powers of different screws, in the Thames. • A reprimand awaits the lieutenants of the Vestal, for de ficiency of knowledge in gunnery —not the lieutenant, as er roneously stated yesterday. This is consequent, we believe, upon an official report made to the Lords of the Admiralty by Rear-Admiral Sir Thos. Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief on the East India and China station. A private letter from the Cape squadron says the Kafir war is nearly at an end. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Tala vera Anson, .had not arrived at the Cape on the 10th of Ja nuary. The Nimrod, 20, Commander Dacres (son of the Ad miral), sailed on the Ist for Algoa Bay, with dispatches for Sir Peregrine Maitland, informing him of the appointment of Sir H. Pottinger to the Governorship, at which the Cape people express much satisfaction. APPOINTMENTS. Captains Charles J. Bosanquet, late commander of the Alert, promoted in November last, and Arthur Lowe (1845), promoted from the Excellent, have been appointed to study steam at Woolwich factory. Commander Frederick W. Pleydell Bouverie (1842), nephew of Lord Radnor, has been appointed to succeed Com mander Maitland in the command of the Electra, 14, sloop, in the West Indies. C9mmander Charles Barker (1845), to study at the steam factory at Woolwich. Lieutenant Lardner Delius (1812), to the Semaphore at Putney. Second Master G. F.

M`Kenzie and J. P. Miller, to the Excellent. Midshipmen—R. V. Hamilton, to the Spartan, 26; and Thomas Green, to the Ocean. Taut AVENGER, STEAM -FRIGATE, AGAIN.—The Avenger, steam-frigate, Commander Potbury, on her passage to Killy begs, from Devonport, only broke down once more. When within thirty miles of her destination the feed valves gave way, which accident detained her twenty-four hours. N 0.17,004. LONDON, PUBLICATIONS. AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT.

The object of this Company is to offer the following advantages to travellers, which have never yet been attempted:— 1. Economy of time. • 2. Diminution in the expenditure of hotels, couriers, servants, &c , of at least 20 per cent. 3. The knowledge, before departure, of the exact expense to be incurred. 4 Exemption from the annoyances attending payments of fares by rat`road, steam-boat, hotel bills, luggage, guides, tire. 5. Protection trom the loss so frequently experienced in changing money. 6. lining enabled to travel with the most perfect security and com fort through all countries, without previous acquaintance with either their language or customs. To enable the Company to accomplish these desirable results, they have made the necessary arrangements w.th the various hotels, the different means of conveyance, whether by steam or diligence, and the several local authorities on the continent, by which every traveller will, at his departure from London, or any place on the continent, by a preliminary payment, be thrnished with certificates for ever, pur pose requisite on the route, for every hotel, and for every means of conveyance, which, on presentation, will entitle the holder to be fur nished with the best accommodation at an uniform and reduced rate. lie will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading town on the continent, as the ..'oinpany, in part of their arrange ments, have with the leading bankers of these places a guarantee fund always standing to their credit, and in every place of note an agent of the Company will he stationed, whose ditty it will be to give every information required. The saving to the traveller will be at least 20 per cent., indepen dent of the convenience, surety, and additional comfort ; while from the arrangements made with the several parties with whom the Com pany are in correspondence, a certain return of at least 10 per cent. may be assured upon the capital invested. The deposit of Is. per share will meet all preliminary expenses, and it is anticipated that no further call than It. per share will be required to carry out the final operations of the Company.

Mechl, determined to carry out his principle of being in the van, has brought out some most superb and novel specimens in Papier Mache. Finding it impossible to display them advantageously in his former space, he has, at considerable expense, fitted up a splendid Show Room, to which he invites all those who are desirous of seeing the most brilliant specimens this country can produce. It is not ex pected that visitors will purchase, although of course Medd will be quite happy to tempt his customers, and supply their wants. His principle is, and always will be, to exchange or return the money for any article purchased of him that may be disapproved. This binds him to quality. He has always found that his customers never leave him, because they are always satisfied. Among the recherche speci mens of Papier Mache, articles will be found, some decorated with admirable copies of Edwin Landseer's most popular and modern paintings, together with some exquisite lanscapes of Windsor Castle, Virginia Water, the Isle of Wight, &c. &c. PARiss . PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and air passagec, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless It be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tisin of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects arc surprising, and in the ad • vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night pepiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

This lady had the following letter inserted In the "Times" news aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was pat lute the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, ml the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is tar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering an, lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product at the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n th 2 crown of the heal ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air oil children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' a pecu liar cooling influence on the brain as to pre veeasits'ciotuhvulsas such imi s, as well as promoting the growth 01 hair.—See pa nphlet of testimonials . , Alllottori addressed to wpim Gallstone litrbaryi Ilighgato. RIDAY EVENING DESTITUTION AND SICKNESS. The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid the efforts now making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the Relief of the Foreigner, the Stranger, the Friendless, and the Outcast, when in Sickness or Disease, who are here received so far as the means of the Institution will permit. Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary: were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit the Institu tion is intended would not know how or where to obtain them, and while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability, perish unheeded and unknown ; a melancholy instance of which kind gave rise to the founding of this charity. A large debt, which is now gradually being reduced, still encumbers the operations of the Committee, but confiding in the spirit and benevolence of an English public in support of such a charity, they fearlessly continue their efforts to meet tile urgent appeals daily made at their gates by the most miserable and wretched of the human race.

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the lICICCIS of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Worthaon, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from tiarlestone Market to We bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe is fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con firmed to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSArt OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho.:st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to loslir his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is early and strong. This fact sneaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. 110 :VIAND'S MACASAAII OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair; _prevents it from falling off or turning Grey; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beautirully soft and curly. 4 . 4 .

SlR,—The time being rapidly approaching wien that root must be planted the failure of which has caused and is still causing so much misery both in our own and the sister kingdom, may I venture to suggest a plan which I feel confident would much alleviate, if not wholly prevent, the diseas e . It h as b een imputed, and I think with good reason, by some one to the swarms of green insects which covered the whole of the vegetable kingdom during the spring and early summer months of last year, which, by preventing the proper growth of the haulm, caused them to wither gradua!ly away, and by that means affecting the tubers. To prevent this I would .uggest to the growers of potatoes that they collect all the waste rubbish they can,_ with which after the potatoes have grown about six inlbes in height they should cause fires to be lighted in different parts of the field or garden, as the case may be, by which means they would easily destroy the greater part of the insects, thus !caving the plant free to imbibe the atmosphere essential ;0 its full development. The early dawn I consider would be the blst time, as the smoke will curl along the g"ound for a greater distance; it could likewise be much sided by having a rick-cloth stretched across a few hurdles placed at suitable distance. In gardens, lam confident, were this plan generally applied, we should have but few failures of the fruit crops in future years compared with the past. Trusting some at least may be induced to try this in expensive remedy for the blight both in the potato and other crops, the benefit arising therefrom will end in sotnething more than mere smoke. I am, Sir, &c., J. B. Sonthampton-buildings, March 17, 1847. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS. BRUSSELS, MARCH 15.—We are happy to say that the fruit trees of every kind never appeared to promise a more plentiful produce. The late frosts have hitherto checked the vegetation, and we have reason to hope that-skis year will &rah& is" great abundance of fruit ; and, considering the advanced season, we may believe that the unfavourable weather has not destroyed the immense quantity of buds which cover the trees. Ex cept rapeseed, which has suffered slightly by the frost, all the crops have the most promising appearance. The Journal du Commerce d'Anvers says—" The ac counts which we receive of the market of Lotivain to day announce a decline in the prices of corn, but they were not exactly known on 'Change to-day." Several respectable merchants of Antwerp propose to address a petition to the Chambers for the entire freedom of the trade in corn. At the market of Aron, on Thursday last, wheat which the week before was quoted at 33f. 12c. rose to 40f. The Echo du Luxemburg says " Our inhabitants view with resignation and composure, this rise in the prices. They hope that the Govern ment will not fail in its duty by abandoning that. They ask for work and not for alms." A letter from Riga of the 20th of Feb., says, "the merchants of this city have just made large purchases of corn. As soon as the ice breaks up in the Dwina 50,000 lasts of rye are expected to be brought down by boats (a last is equal to 30f hectolitres), 5,000 or 6,000 lasts of wheat, and 20,000 lasts of barley, will be sent away as soon as possible. It is calculated that nearly 1,000 boats will be necessary for this purpose. The Bremen Gazette, announcing the arrival of an American Consul, says that it is more probable that the Grand Duchy is going to conclude a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States, or that it will participate in the treaty, which the States has just con cluded with Hanover. The town of Mountjoy, a few leagues of Aix la Cha pelle, is in danger of being swallowed up in parts, by the sinking down of the mountain which overhangs it. It is feared that the melting of the snow has led to this catastrophe. VIENNA, MARCH B.—Count Francis Stadian, the Go vernor of Trieste, arrived yesterday in Vienna. lie is still spoken of as designed for the government of Gallicia. Count Deyru is still here to discuss the rela tions of Cracow. THE “CHRISTIAN COMMON WEALTH" FAVOURABLY ENTERTAINED f,tY THE POPE. We learn by letters from Rome that Mr. J. M. Morgan, the benevolent and indefatigable projector of the Christian Commonwealth, or self-supporting village of 300 families, has been honoured by an interview with his Holiness the Pope, at which he was permitted to explain his plan fi)r ameliorating the condition of the working clasos. Ilia [holiness was pleased to express the great interest which he felt in the design, and his approbation of its charitable pur pose. He accepted copies of Mr. Morgan's work, the " Christian Commonwealth," in French and English, and a lithographic print illustrative of the proposed village: having previously allowed a transparent painting of the same to be placed in his apartment, and having devoted to it considerable attention. The most patient consideration has been given to the design by the different religious bodies of Rome, especially by the Scotch and Irish colleges; by the latter it was recognised as the most likely means, under Providence, of averting the evils which afflict the sister island. We learn, moreover, that the Pope has referred Mr. Morgan's proposals to the examination of the Agricul tural Commission, of which the Cardinal Massimo is pre sident; and that it is e 'ected their report will be followed up by the establishm6 of At model village in the Cam pagna di Roma. Such a movement on the part of the head of the Catholic Church demands the utmost grati tude from Christians of all denominations; whom we trust it will excite to emulation in a work so noble and excellent, and so highly calculated to relieve the pre sent and prevent the future sufferings of the industrious poor. The following extract from the Roman Advertiser, of a date previous to that of Mr. Morgan's interview with his Holiness, will show the estimation in which our worthy countryman is held in the eternal city " PROJECT 1 , 011. A CliltIgTIAN COLDLY.—In countries where commercial prosperity has risen to its highest it is often found that the moral and social condition of the labour ing classes has sunk to its lowest degree. The wealth of nations is sometimes found to advance in an inverse ratio with every exalted and spiritual interest of national life. In our intense conviction that the only Cat holicon for these withering tendencies of overgrowing wealth and luxury is the Church, the grand social regenerator, we are yet happy to see any effort of philanthropy to stein this current of evil, this gross prin ciple of materialism, whose blighting sway, like the Upas tree, spreads death around to all that is noble, generous, and holy ; even if this may appear impossible to reduce to prac tice. Such we are not disposed to think is the project above-named, which Mr. J. M. Morgan, who is now in Rome, has benevolently devoted himself to the further ance of, and is anxious to submit to the consideration of his Holiness, who, as the Common Father of the Faithful, is the proper person to be consulted on any project aiming at the promotion of the principles of the Gospel. The prospectus of this undertaking receives sanc tion from the names of several of the English nobility. and highly respected ministers of the Protestant communion. It states that the object is to be found in any, or all coun tries, Catholic or Protestant, where funds may be raised, a model colony for the establishment of 300 families, under the management of directors, renting about 1,000 acres of land, with a church and public offices attached, schools, farms, and a factory, so that all the essentials to social wel fare may be combined with the action of religious and moral influences, and as much as by any outward agency can, a life of virtue, peace, and comfort IN secured to all. The theory of this little colony very much resembles that of the Republic of Paraguay, which, under the guidance of the Jesuit fathers, long presented the aspect of a moral oasis in history, a contradiction to the selfish economy of anti-Cliri tian institutions. Mr. Morgan observe, that if this plan was generally understood it could be speedily adopted, and prove the means of furnishing the destitute population of Ireland and Scotland, and indeed of all countries, with immediate remunerating employment in preparing the establishments, DESTRUCTION OF THE THEATRE AT CARLSRUHE. GRAND DUCHY or BADEN.—On Sunday, March 7, mass was performed at the Roman Catholic church, for the sufferers who perished in the conflagration of the 20th of February, Mozart's Requiem was celebrated by the whole body of performers of the Royal Opera, and of the Royal Chapel. The entire body of the church was thronged by persons of every class, who manifested the most lively sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers. On the 10th of March, a circular was issued in Bremen. inviting the co-operation of all the theatres in Germany to a benefit on behalf of those who Suffered from the destruction of the theatre at Carisruhe, and stating that Bremen, although so far removed from the scene of suffering, desires to be foremost in the laudable example of send ing succour. The announcement says, as the theatre has caused the affliction, so let the theatres now afford consolation. This timtly sympathy Will, it is hoped, in some, degree ameliorate the deep suffering, and afford seasonable relief to many a be reaved heart and hapless orphan, and thus the detailed accounts of this calamity given in our journal may yield beneficial fruit. THE HAGUE, MARCH 16.—The Members of the First Chamber of the States-General are summoned to meet an the 24th of March next. The Cologne Gazette of yesterday published the following article :—The Dutch Government is at this moment negotiating with the Zollverein and with France, in order to obtain facilities for its commercial relations with those new states. Hol land is especially desirous to extend its maritime trade and to retain the commerce of the Rhine, not withstanding the competition of Belgium. The cor respondents of several journals are, however, mistaken when they affirm that secondary concessions have been offered by the Cabinet of the Hague in exchange for the favours which it desires to obtain from the Zollverein. If we are well informed it is contemplated to grant to the states of the Zollverein in the Dutch ports the same great advantages which o " e e r known men t f s r o on m they enjoy in the port of Antwerp. As a condition " sine qua non" Holland insists on the abolition, or a considerable good reduction authority, of th that tolls o s e n v theeraGerman l Rhine;an G d the banks of the Rbine see this subject in the same light.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The Registrar- General's return for the week ending Saturday, March 13, shows a decrease in the mortality of London, the number of deaths being 1,026, while the average for the season is 1,068. The fatality of diseases of the respiratory organs, which was so remarkable a few weeks ago, now nearly corresponds with the usual amount. Small-pox, of which there were seven fatal cases, is evidently on the increase. The registrar of Haggerstone West states that five deaths from this disease had occurred in one family within three weeks, and that a sixth child, who alone remained, was lying dangerously ill. The parents had repeatedly refused to permit their children to be vaccinated. The number of births registered during the week is 1,435; 740 males, 695 females. The mean tem perature of the week was 35.7. WEST INDIA SUGAR.

At Worship--street Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Brookes, a young man of very miserable and emaciated ap pearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with the wilful murder of William Gobart, an umbrella maker, living in Hare-alley, Shoreditch. Mr. Vann, the solicitor, attended for the prisoner. The first witness called was a young man named Richard Eaton, who stated that at ten o'clock en the preceding night he was requested by the deceased to accompany him and two other young men to the lodgings of the prisoner at No. 3, Hare-alley, to demand the restoration of some articles belonging to him, and in the prisoner's possession. The deceased remained at the end of the court while witness went to the house to call the prisoner, who accompanied him back, and on deceased demanding his property, the prisoner told him that he should not have it until he paid him what he owed him, and perhaps not even then. Without any further observation on either side, the prisoner toli a tho de ceased, "If you wait here a minute I will put a bullet through your head," and so saying he instantly hastened back and entered his own house. IVitness advised the de ceased not to stay any longer, but the latter answered that he had nothing to fear, and persisted in doing so, upon which witness left bins and proceeded to his own home about twenty yards off, but bad only been there a few minutes, whets he heard the loud report of a gun, and directly after wards a lad whom he had just left with the deceased, called out, " Dick, Dick, conic down, he has shot him." Witness thereupon ran down the court, and upon entering the passage of the prisoner's house, found the deceased lying in a pool of blood, and apparently lifeless. Charles Eaton, brother of the last witness, and cousin to the deceased, confirmed the preceding testimony, and added that a few minutes after the prisoner had uttered the above threat witness accompanied the deceased to the door of the house, which the latter was about to enter, but had only got his foot upon the threshold when the prisoner, who had been secreted behind the door, suddenly presented himself and discharged some firearm into the deceased's face. The act was so instantaneous that witness could not see the piece, but the flash was immediately followed by a stunning report, and the deceased fell forward upon his face in the passage. Wit ness took him by the arms and endeavoured to raise him, but was unable to eo so, and hurried off for the assistance of the police. James Badk ins, who was also present at the occurrence, confirmed the evidence of the other witnesses, and added that he heard no other ground of provocation than a threat on the part of the deceased to strike the prisoner, when the latter refused to restore the property demanded of him. Police-constable Lock, 11 201, deposed that lie heard the report of the gun while on duty in Shoreditch, and on enter ing the passage of the house found the body of the deceased lying at the foot of the stairs, and the ramrod of a gun close by it. On proceeding to a room on the second floor, he found the prisoner with a gun in his hand, which he imme diately secured, and took bins into custody. The prisoner's father, who was also present, made some observation upon the dreadful consequences of his son's violence, in answer to which the prisoner replied, " I have bad my revenge, and if I had not taken his life lie would have had mine' The prisoner was then conveyed down stairs, where a surgeon, who was examining the body, inquired of a bystander if the gun had been loaded with ball, to which the prisoner spon taneously answered "No, it was small shot ;" and, on being searched, a quantity of loose shot of that description was found in his waistcoat pocket. The witness produced the gun, an old-fashioned piece, resembling a carbine, but wider at the bore, and scarcely two feet in length. Mr. James Hancorn, a surgeon, in High-street, Shore ditch, deposed that, on examining the body of the deceased, he found a circular orifice in the left side of the neck, nearly an inch in diameter, and sufficiently large to enable him to probe it with his finger, and to trace the injury as far back as the spine, where the shot appeared to have lodged. Such a wound might have been caused either by a bullet, or con centrated small shot, which, upon striking the spine, must have produced instantaneous death. Inspector Harris proved that, on hearing the charge read over at the station-house, the prisoner said that if he had not done it he should perhaps have lost his own life, as the de ceased and four others had come to his house and threatened to drag him out a few minutes previous to the fatal occurrence. Mr. Vann having expressed his intention to reserve the defence at that stage of the proceeding, the magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Tuesday next. PRIVATE TRIAL OF MR. GYPSON'S NEW BALLOON. —NARROW ESCAPE OF THE iERONAUTS.—A party of gentle men interested in the science of rerostation assembled yes terday at the Gas-works, Haggerstone, for the purpose of witnessing an experimental ascent of a new balloon con structed from the design of Mr. Gypson. The balloon was considered a beautiful model, being manufactured of crimson and yellow silk of a superior fabric, around which was an elegant blue zone, but the netting was considered by compe tent judges to be of an inferior description, and not pos sessing sufficient power to resist the pressure Of the balloon when inflated. Among other gentlemen present were Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Ellis, lessee of Cre monse-gardens. Mr. Van Buren (who has made a number of ascents in that monstre balloon, the great Nassau, from Cremorne-gardens), discovered some defects in the meshes of the netting, and with other gentlemen earnestly implored Mr. Gypson and Mr. H. Coxwell, who was to have been thehis com on du voyage, not to ascend, particularly as breeze was pretty fresh. Mr. Gypson would have overrule the bal d their objections, but sudde nl y a gust of w took - loon and it dashed through the netting. leaving the mronauts and some of their admiring friends and spectators lost in wonderment, and one or two entangled, a la the lion and the mouse, in the meshes of the netting. A rent in the balloon fortunately allowed the gas to escape, r estored descended in Haggerstone fields, and was subsequently to the proprietor. FIRE ox PLUMSTEAD-COMMON.—On Wednesday afternoon a large heath on Shooter's-hill, adjoining Shrews bury House, the residence of Admiral P. gornby, was die • covered to be in flames. The heath was covered with furze nine or ten feet in height, and when assistance arrived the fire had covered an extent of three or four acres. A number of men set to work to beat down the flames, but it was not until nearly seven o'clock that they succeeded in stopping the flames, the fire having spread over seven or eight acres. The furze is supposed to have been set lire to by some schoolboys. ROYAL ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL.

The vicinity of Blackwell yesterday afternoon, presented a lively appearance by the floating or launching of two of her Majesty's ships, the Blenheim and Terpsichore, from the yard of the Messrs. Wigram, and a steamboat for the Star Gravesend Steam Company, from that of Miller and Raven hills. The Blenheim was one of the old seventy-six line-of battle ships, and was last engaged in the China war. She has undergone considerable alteration, and is intended to be one of the block-guard-ships in the Channel. In some por tions she has been reduced, but her length has been extended eight feet abaft. She will carry fifty guns of large calibre. She will be worked by a screw propeller, her engines, by Sea ' ward, being nearly fitted. On being floated out of the dry dock into the river, her appearance created considerable at tention. The Terpsichore, launched from the same yard, is a corvette, and is pierced for eighteen guns. Her length between perpendiculars is 115 feet, and her style of build is said to possess all the important improvements in marine architecture. No particular ceremony was observed on her being liberated from the slip on which she was formed, be yond the cheering of the workpeople, and the waving of the nationalliags. She was taken in tow by a steam-tug, proceeded on to Chatham, where she will be masted and got ready fir commission with all dispatch. • The third vessel, an iron steamer, we had an oppor tunity of inspecting, and full particulars of her were obligingly furnished. She was launched from the building yard of Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., at Black wall, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of persons interested in the vessel and others, who were attracted by her hand ;ome appearance. Miss Sophia Cruden, the daughter of the chairman of the Star Packet Company, named her "The New Star" as she went off the stocks.

Ex- nimro»: or THE BODY.--Up to a late hour and early this morning crowds of persons were assembled round the en trance to Hare-court, Shoreditch, in which the tragic scene of Wednesday night took place, and, what can scarcely be credited, the people of the house in which the body lay were actually engaged in exhibiting the corpse x.f the murdered man at a penny a head, for the purpose, as it was alleged, of defraying the expenses of th.e funeral and interment of the body; and it would seem that a somewhat plentiful harvest was reaped, as numbers whose curiosity had led them to the locality for the purpose of viewing the corpse, were obliged, last evening, to depart without having their desires gratified. A Vienna letter of the 10th, in the cologne Ga zette, says—" The news we have received of disturbances in Gallicia, show that they have arisen from a collision between the peasantry and the Jews.

Fortunately the horse cleared the fence, and Mr. Wallop having sufficient nerve to retain a firm seat and keep his horse's head well up, the horse landed safe on his legs, merely falling over stunned by the concussion, but was in a few minutes recovered, an d n ei ther rider nor horse sustained the least injury.
