The Grappler, iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-00110- minder Lysaght, ho was appointed to her at Wool wich immediately after he had concluded a course of study of steam machinery at the factory, has arrived at Sierra Leone, and the following interesting detail of her pas sage to the coast of Africa shows the importance of a knowledge of steam machinery to officers commanding vra.els:— " We burn more coals now than we did on our first trial betwixt Woolwich and Portsmouth,consuming 20 tons in stead of 17 when full steaming, which gives us only seven days'coal. On our leaving Plymouth, and in fact from the first, I found her leaky—more than the bilge-pumps chose to deliver; and these functionaries (the pumps) getting exceeding sick about 24 hours out of port (off Ushant), like their managers, I believe, declined further duty, on which the water rose on us three ands half in the stoke- hole, putting out the fires , rsting up the plates of the platform s -so--ea ,to let a. tookil of coals into the bilges. I put ea hands to pump and bale for some hours before I got her free enough to enable the engineers to get at the bilge-pumps and free them, and I caused the plungers to be eased a little. The next morning, finding the breeze strong in our favour and against our return, I gave her steam again. On examining the engines and means of work ing the vessel, one or two things have suggested them selves as requiring improvement. Our bilge-pumps work on the inner arm instead of in the bilge, so that as they suck at nine inches, and the ship is very crank, a large body of water is left in the engine -room washing to and fro, which the suckers cannot touch except when the vessel rolls to windward. I do not know why they should not be on the outer arm and the feeds amidship, but suppose there is some good reason that the contrary plan has been adopted. When we get to Ascension I will try and get branch pipes to lead from them to the bilge on either side, that the difficulty which now exists may be obviated. The fulcrum of the hand-pump put in at Woolwich gave way in our utmost need, but the bearing overhead, on which the lever worked, was said to be cast iron ; the next shall be of wrought iron. I found a very bad leak in the stern of the vessel round the rudder-case, and stopped it with some difficulty. We hear the water come in in clear streams inside the g, but, as she is lined throughout, I prefer pumping her out to laying bare the leaks too numerous for insertion,' or patching by our mechanics. As far as the ship's work goes she is very indifferently finished. Our engine has a perpetual salt water bath from leaks inside and along the iron sponson beams, which we have tried in vain to stop. Now for the brighter side. She goes at the rate of 8 knots an hour when deep, with one boiler on the third step of expansion, burning 8 tons of coals, and with full power in the same trim (11 feet) only 9.5 knots, so that I think I shall never use the two boilers again except in chase. In very smooth water she does not shake or work so much with the easy steam as she does with the full power, and I have a suspicion that we have too much power for her strength. When she has full power, even in smooth water, she works and trembles like a sailing vessel overpressed with canvass, and I should say with the same want of increase of speed as in a sailing vessel overpressed. At the time I write she goes 8.6 knots with the wind abeam, and one boiler third step of expansion. The wind is not helping her much, as she only went five knots some time back under canvass only, and she is running away from her canvass now and then, as it gets lighter. She does not run well deep as she is, and I have not tried her light yet with a sail; the most she has gone with a fresh trade wind (wheels disconnected) being eight knots. I did not take off my lower floats, as I might have done, on the home-station or Mediterranean, with a dockyard under my lee to replace nuts, screws, &c. I do not think the wheels checked her much, as being dis connected they had nothing to turn but themselves. We left Madeira on Christmas-eve, having got 117 tons of coals very smartly delivered. The Sphynx left an anchor there, from letting it go in too deep water and snapping the chain. If ever any more iron pots are sent to sea, the ribs in their bottoms should be perforated iu different places to allow the water to come and be pumped out. As they are at present constructed there are compartments about two and-a-half feet long by nine or ten inches deep, confining the water between the ribs until it is baled out, or stinks. I shall cut limber holes when I can : in the meanwhile she makes water enough to keep her sweet. We ar rived at Sierra Leone on the 7th, and found here the Prometheus, Wanderer, and Ferret. P r ometheus has taken a great many prizes ; Ferret and Cygnet took one between them the other day. We sail on the 9th for Ascension. The coal here is very bad ; none but the best should be sent, as the freight is the principal expense."

Her decks will not be moved this year. It is belied that the Admiral have appointed Mr. Smith, whose screw propdler is ado ty pted in her Majesty's vessels, to be superintendent of the works connected with it, and all matters r e l a t e d to the fitting of the screw Government steamers are to be under his direction —the salary to be 600/. a year. A new printed code of regu lations for the better arrangment and supervision of the works in the several dockyards has this week been issued to the superintendents of the arsenals. The regulations are ably drawn up, and, if fully acted on, w ill cause much economy to result both in the wages of the men and the consumption of material: They are what Mr. Ward, the Secretary of the Admiralty, alluded to and described in the House of Commons on Friday night, on moving the Navy Estimates. The inspectors of shipwrights and other branches of mechanics in the yards are to have additional duty and responsibility imposed on them, but their pay will be increased one-fourth in consequence. (The document here referred to is so lengthy that we are unable to find room for it to-day.) The Avenger steamer is loaded with meal for Ireland, and was to put to sea on the arrival of her engineer. The Tyne, 26, also loaded, has sailed. The Dragon has gone to Cork, filled from the Clarence-yard. The Centaur steam -frigate, Mr. Henry Davey , Master commanding, was docked to-day, to be coppered. She has been ordered to be expedited as much as pos sible, as she is required immediately .to load with pro visions for the relief service. She is expected to be ready by Saturday. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, has been spoken Ho p e in the Channel. She is from the Cape of Good Hope station, and has landed her mails and dispatches at Penzance. Contracts were taken to-day at the Royal Clarence victualling establishment, Gosport, for 1,000 sacks of meal, at 51s. 6d., 525. 3d., and 525. sd. per sack, giving an average of about 525. per sack. This establishment, alone, with eight ovens, is daily making food for 27,000 persons, allowing five biscuits to each person. As we stated yesterday, the utmost activity prevails in every department, and officers and men are alike deserving of praise for;the indefatigable exertions made to meet the demands upon the establishment.

RECOVERY OF THE SPHYNX STEAM-SLOOP. The Sphynx has been got off from her unfortunate and unnatural position on the bleak and desolate shores at the back of the Isle of Wight. To that indomitable spirit of perseverance which has characterised Englishmen under all circumstances and in all ages, we owe the preserva tion of the Sphynx on the Navy List, and by this time, we have reason to believe, the presence of that unfor tunate steam -sloop in Portsmouth Harbour. A commu nication front Portsmouth, by the electric telegraph, an nounced the gratifying fact to the authorities in town yesterday. We had little doubt, from the completeness of the arrangements on Tuesday, the fine confident spirit which animated all partes on board—the dockyard men as well as the bluejackets-that they would succeed in their enter prise. Igo disappointment seems to have :hunted them, and repeated failure appears to have only braced them up more firmly in their determination to accom 'dish, as they bad so often deserved, success. Too much praise cannot be given to the dockyard men em ployed in this arduous task. Th2y emulated the blue jackets in every resput. Cheerfully and steadily they put " their shoulders to the wheel," and with sturdy vigour they toiled on, inch by inch, securing their advantages as they achieved them. The blue jackets, with no less effect, im petuously strained every nerve in the right direction. Science and great practical experience guided their physical efforts, and the appliances of human strength and mechanical art—muscle and mechanism combined—have effected a great national triumph, and have shown to the world that the Royal service has yet men who " are worth their breeding." The preparations on Tuesday last, on board the Sphynx, and at the locality, were such as to inspire the greatest con fidence in the trial to take place that evening. The morning tide did not rise so high as anticipated ; the rollers which had set in the night before had produced a heavy swell, and although the wind was not high and was blowing off the shore, they could not secure the camel under her:port paddle wheel framing ; consequently, they moved the ship very little, but, nevertheless, quite up to the ledge of soft rocks which formed a barrier to her further progress towards the sea, as it also served as a protection to the ship against its ravages. ' •As the tide dropped on Titepdty morning every means were taken to husband tbe advantages which had :been . gained. The wind continued to blow off the land from N.W. ; the three steamers were under steam about three-quaeters of a mile from the Sphynx, about a couple of hundred yards distant from each other, ready to take the lumps and lighters in tow in the event of a change of wind. Two of the lumps were moored, but one having snapped a couple of hawsers of immense strength, and having, from the very bad holding ground, brought home a 45 cwt. anchor, she was busily engaged repairing her moorings. The channel to the ship, and through which she was to come out, was marked off by buoys, by Mr. Bellamy, the assistant master attendant, at very little in tervals of distance from each other, and the ship herself was perfectly upright, with her bows pointing directly seaward. Around her bows and stern were floating a large number of casks; one camel was lashed under her starboard paddle-box massive framing, the other camel, the "refractory one," was tethered off on the port side, ready at low water to be har nessed under the other paddle-box framing- On board the Sphynx the decks were strewed with a pro fusion of casks, anchor:, cables, hawsers, lines, handspikes, and other useful apparatus, Captain Austin, under whose di rection the operations were carried on, suitably equipped for the occasion, as weather-beaten as the rough hardy counte nances of those under his orders, appeared equal to the task he had undertaken. Cheerful and light-hearted himself, he inspired confidence and infused energy among the men as lie passed along the decks. On the main deck the dockyard men were enjoying their pipes over a galley fire, and numbers were recruiting their strength by repose. In a noble spirit of emulation the starboard side was appropriated for seamen to work at, and the port side the dockyard men, and whilst the latter had painted on the inside of the starboard paddle box the refresher, "England expects every man to do his duty," the blue jackets had paid them the compliment on the port paddle-box in white paint, " Go it mateys." It was impossible to witness these apparently trivial promptings without a feeling of pride and a confident anticipation of that success which has been, we are happy to say, so auspi ciously and so speedily realised—the arrangements appeared to be so perfect and the determination so unanimous. On the port-side on the weather deck a heavy cable was run out to the distance of 180 fathoms, to which was attached a 45 cwt. anchor, backed by a 10 cwt. anchor, and on the starboard side another cable was carried out about 140 fathoms to a 45 cwt. anchor, backed by another smaller anchor; hawsers on each box were carried out to the lumps, and 8 and 10-inch hawsers were also to be taken on board the steamers. The camels being ready filled, and every one at his post, " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," at the nick of time, has redeemed our naval character, has maintained our national credit, and has proved to the world that, if we may accidentally lose, we can coolly, and deli berately, and triumphantly, recover—" Britannia rules the waves." THE NAVIGATION LAWS. The Select Committee upon this subject met again yester day, in Room No. 2. There were present, Mr. Milner Gibson (chairman), Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Clerk, Alderman Thompson, lion. M. Liddell, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. 13right. Mr. M'Carthy, Mr. Lyall, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Thomas Baring, and _ _ _ Lefevre, of the Board of Trade, was recalled, , nd, in answer to a question from the chair, he stated that he was not aware that he had anything to add to the evidence for merly given; but, with the permission of the Committee, he would prepare a paper containing a IA icf history of the Na vigation laws, with all the changes and modifications that had taken place in them, from their origin iu the days of Charles 11. down to the present time. Mr. Lefevre then, at the request of the Chairman, pro ceeded with his explanation of the different elanes in the navigation Act, in which he bad been interrupted on Satur day. With respect to the 21st clause, which provided that a certain proportion of the crew should be taken to consti tute a vessel a British ship, and that it Jested with her Majesty, by order in Council, to declare what that propor lion should be, the witness stated, in answer to Mr. vlitehell, that in point of fact the whole intention of the navigation laws might be frustrated without the interven tion of an Act of Parliament by an order in Council, altering the proportions of the crew. But, at the same time, he said, in answer to Sir George Clerk, that he had never known such a case to occur, even in time of war. And, in reply to Mr. Liddell, he said the clause was intended to remedy a serious inconvenience which a British ship might be placed under if that portion of her crew who were British should be pressed, and thus the vessel deprived of her British seamen, would be deprived of the privileges -of a British vessel. With regard to the 23d clause, Mr. Lefevre explained that it gave the Crown power to confer upon any port in the colonies the same privileges as were enjoyed by ports in this country, of receiving foreign ships. This power was con tinually exercised by the Crown, and the number of such free ports in the colonies was increasing. Mr. M'Gregor, Joint-Secretary to the Board of Trade, was then examined. He stated that the management and regula tions of foreign commerce were almost altogether under his department in the office, and if the Committee would give him leave he would prepare a paper which would state ser,icttim those forei n countries with which this country had treader "to Or, commercial • relations. In the meantime, he might state, that the navigatioili*is of the. United States were almost entirely an imitation of the na vigation-laws of Great Britain. After the independence of the United States had been established, Mr. Jay had been sent from the United States to this country to propose that those commercial and maritime relations which subsisted between the two countries before the separation should still be in all respects continued. Mr. Jay at that time proposed very much the same advantages which we enjoyed at present in America. The principal demand on the part of the Go vernment of the United States was, that we should place their trade with the West Indian colonies and the North American colonies which still remained to us on a reciprocal footing with regard to navigation and trade. Mr. Pitt fully adopted this view of the case, and prepared a Bill which he brought into Parliament in order to give effect to it; but as Mr. I'itt's Administration soon afterwards went out of office, the Bill was defeated, and England not only rejected all treaty and commercial relations with the United States, but she determined to exclude American produce, even when brought in British ships from the British West Indian pos sessions. The consequence of this was, that the United States adopted the British navigation law in all its integrity, and that they continued it in all its integrity, except in so far as England had relaxed her navigation laws. By Mr. LIDDELL—Mr. Pitt brought in his Bill in 1783. He did not gather, from the correspondence or speeches on the subject, that the Americans adopted our navigation laws for the purpose of encouraging their own trade. It was certainly for the purposes of trade, and to leave them inde per.dentin their intercourse with other countries. By Alderman TIIO3IPSON—Since the time of Mr. Jay the navigation laws had not been matter of treaty ; but there had been much negotiation on the subject of commercial intercourse. It was true that the navigation laws had been indirectly the subject-matter of this corre,,pondence, but only with regard to those parts which referred to the in tercouree of American ships with our colonies and with British India. By Mr. BARING—If Mr. Jay's negotiation had been suc cessful, there would have been no navigation laws at all, as regarded the trade between England and America ; but be could not say what might have been done with re gard to their own coasting trade. Even if the negotiation had been agreed to with regard to England, it wculd by no means have precluded the United States'. from forming navi gation laws with other countries—because, in fact, previous to this period, America had herself entered into a commer cial treaty with llolland. By Sir ROBERT PEEL—At that period the trade of the United States with England and her colonies very greatly exceeded that with all the other ports of the world. By Mr. MITCHELL —The States had also entered into pre vious treaties with France and Holland ; but the treaty with France was one of amity, not of navigation ; and the treaty with Holland was entered into before their inde pendence was achieved—in fact, we come to know of it from the capture of the vessel which was conveying the treaty to Holland. By Alderman TitomPsox—The principle on which the treaty with Holland was based was one of perfect reciprocity. the same as now existed between this country and the United States. The same law existed in the United States as in this country, prohibiting a foreigner from owning a native ship : but it was easy for a foreigner to become naturalized. There was not, however, any difficulty in a foreigner holding a British ship. The commercial relations between the two countries was now on a footing of thorough recipret,ity, ex cept that there were restrictions on American vessels enter ing some of our colonies. The principal colonial ports were free ports, into which American ships might enter; but these were not all in that condition. Ile would afterwards give a list of those ports into which the Americans could not enter, and which they considered as grievances. In America there were certainly higher duties upon goods when brought in British ships than when brought in American ships; these were called counteracting duties. He could not say what the view of the Americans was in this matter. By Mr. Rtcaano—This country agreed to relax their re strictions upon the American trade in consequence of the remonstrances of the British merchaants regarding the de cline of their trade. That decline was considerable. In 1784, before the American restrictions were imposed, the British exports amounted to 3,679,468/. In 1785, at the latter end of which year the restrictions were imposed, the exports declined to 2,368,0231.; while in 1786, when they were in full force, the exports fell to 1,603,0001. The re strictions were accordingly relaxed in 1787, 1788, and 1789. After these relaxations the exports increased again very con siderably—he would afterwards put in a paper showing the sums in detail. By the CHAIRMAN—An English ship could take French produce out to the United States, as there was nothing in the law to prevent them ; but the Government might and did impose countervailing duties which prevented them. Eng land prevented American ships from bringing French pro duce here except for purposes of re- exportation. An American ship might bring American flour or cotton from Havre, but that was because the cargo was American pro duce, though brought from a French port. An American ship, on her retnrn voyage, might up her cargo either front England or France, at her option; but an English ship could only take out the cargo of this country. According to the regulations of the American law, a ship was deter mined to belong to that country under whose laws she was owned and navigated. By Alderman Tuosu'ssx—tip to last year, English ships could not take foreign produce to America, even for purposes of re-exportation, because America had not till lately any warehousing system.' Last sessionof Congress a warehousing Bill was passed, but he was not sufficiently acquainted with its details to be able to say whether it allowed of English ships importing !pods into America for the purpose of re exportation. He was aware that American ships had that advantage in England. It was a great advantage to them; because the geographical position of the ports of London and Liverpool for the distribution of the produce of the earth was unrivalled; but he did not think that English ships would train the same advantage from bonding their goods in the United States, except so far as Canada was concerned. He did not think that the bonding system in America would be of much advantage to our trade with China. In answer to questions from Mr. MITCHELL, Mr. M'Gregor gave an opinion as to the wants of the na vigation laws, which Alderman Thompson and others con tended was premature, as they were then engaged in inquiring simply into their operation. It was therefore proposed that the questions and answers relating to this point should he • withdrawn, and the room was cleared for the division. Having decided the point, as we understood, in favour of withdrawing the questions, the Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock on Tuesday next. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Mama 4.—The steam-ship for the Grant Sultan was launched from White's yard, at half-past twelve o'clock this day. The preparations that were thought to be made for the Royal Family proved to be for the Turkish Ambassador and his suite. The ship went off in fine style, and in half an hour afterwards was in the Medina dock. She is likely to prove a very ;powerful and fast vessel. She is called the Vassitei Tidjaret.

Zohrab, Esq., the Turkish Consul-General, and his lady, were present. The Emperor of Russia's yacht was built in the opposite yard last year. The lambing season in the Isle of Wight has proved good as to the numbers dropped, but many of the ewes purchased at Weyhill fair were too fat, and became diseased, and hun dreds of their lambs died from it when they were about eight or nine days old. One farmer has lost considerably above a hundred by this disease. HALF-PAST Six, r.m.—The Poole steamer, just come up, passed her Majesty's steamer Sphvnx, in tow of two steamers, to the westward, coming by the Needles passage, inside the Wight., but they are not in sight from Cowes yet. _____ THE TICKET FOR Sour • —M • Soyer deserves to be called the Gastronomic Regenerator of suggestion which Ireland. His re ceipt for cheap soup is the best practical has yet been made for the relief Isrof that unlucky island. It h as , however, been ebjected against M. Soyer's soup, that it contains an insufficient quantity of meat. We have a plan tpropose, by which this defect may be remedied. Na', we will show how animal matter may be. plentifully intro duced into the soup with positive gain instead of expense to the country. Let game be applied to this purpose. We shall be told that it will require all the game in the king dom. Exactly so. Two great savings will be thus effected ; one in crops to the agriculturist, the other in prosecutions :Ind prison expenses to counties. For if the Irish eat up the -4ame, the game will not eat up the farmer ; poaching will be ' inpossible, and the game laws become a dead letter. We, herefore, for once, recommend a series of battues for the benefit of the starving Irish. Let us not be toll that this is in unseasonable proposal. Famishing pe. , ple can eat stranger food than game out of season. March hare will make very , ensible soup. Our scheme we know will sp , ,il sport but it rather better to sacrifice that than human life. Instead, herefore, of making game of Soyer's soup, we say, let Soyer's soup be made of game. And the extirpation of game by the instrumentality of Soyer will add appropriate lustre to a name associated 'with Reforgh—Punch. 7,7 - ftECONDARTE&-(Tir DAV (Wore Mr. Secondary P DEADMAN V DEATH. THE TABLES TUENED.—This Was action to over tie aim of 200!. and interest on a mortgage. There was no de &ice to the action, and a verdict was gtvcn for the plaintiff. SHARPE V. JONES. The plaintiff in this action is a house agent, in St. John' ; - , street and the defendant is a milkman in Westminster. It appeared that the plaintiff had been engaged tou7spose of the goodwill and lease of the premises, and acclrdingly advertised it, besides putting up a bill in his window, which was seen by a pariy who became a purchaser; bat as the plaintiff had hPen paid for putting up the bill. it was con tended he egad not charge commission, as all his , 10,-equent acts been on behalf of the purchaser, in ord,r 0 a a: 4.e the price, the 'purchaser having applied to him for tl at pur pose, and when he went to take the inventory, now chart for, he said he was doing it for the purchaser. The ju , y gave a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Cramnissioner FANE.) IN RE WELLS. In this rase the bankrupt, whu was de, , cribkd as a mer chant in the Poultry, came up to pass his lai.texamination. Mr. PUCIIANAN supported the appication. His TloNourt said there had not been a trade assignee ap pointed, and therefore he should, or, a general principle, ad journ the examination; tier where there were no as.zetts, or the case was so beset with difficulties that no creditor could be found to take the assigneeship, it might be considered the affairs were such as could rot he satisfactorily wound up by the solicitor to the fiat, and he therefore adopted a general rule to adjourn such cases for twelve months. Mr. BuctiArrax was proceeding to expinin, when Hi 3 Holvoun said if he was acting on the particular cirr cumstances of the case, then Mr. Buchanan's obiervations might avail the bankrupt, but as the judgment was on a ge neral rule he could not alter it. The last examination would be adjourned sine die, with leave to come up when he could find a person to become assignee and investigate the ac count; but if he had entered into ,the merits probably it would have been the same, as bankrupt had been gambling in railway shares. Adjourned accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) UTTERING FORGED ORDERS.—Jane Stoor, aged 38, a married woman, was indicted with having uttered several forged seamen' orders, with intent to defraud Mary Edwards and others. The case was fully proved, and several previoui convic tions having been put in, the prisoner was sentenced to 20 years' transportation. Several petty larceny cases of no interest took up the rest of the morning. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman HUGHES.) The following prisoners were brought up for sentence: — William Monroe, aged 21, convicted last session of stealing paper from three different establishments, was sentenced to one year's iniprisonment and hard labour. Wiliam George Sweet, aged 17, convicted of an indecent assault upon a child under 10 years, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. Henry Kendall, a goods porter on the Great Western Rail way, was indicted for stealing two bottles of wino from a hamper to be sent by the railway. It appeared that two hampers, containing 18 bottles of port wine each, waxed on the corks and stamped, were sent to the Paddington station, on the 4th February, well packed, and in good condition. A few hours after, it was observed that the end of one of the hampers had been raised, and two bottles taken out. The bottles were found behind an empty case in the good's store. Sergeant Childers of the company's force was put to watch, and he saw, while secreted in the store, the prisoner come and cautiously look round, and then take up one of the bottles, and put it under his jacket. When the constable seized him the pri soner, in surprise, exclaimed, "0 Lord God, this is the first time." The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy, in consideration of his previous good character. The COURT assured the prisoner that only in consequence of the jury's recommendation, the sentence would not be transportation, as it certainly would be in the very next case of a similar character. He was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) James Williams and Frederick Jenkinson, who had been re manded from Monday, on a charge of uttering a forged cheque on the hank of Messrs. Ransom, at the shop of Mr. Prew, tailor, of High Holborn, was again brought before Mr. Jardine this morning. On the case being called on, Mr. Wolf, who defended the prisoners, said that before the case was entered into, he wi s h e d t o ca ll t h e magistrate's at. tention to an occurrence which h a d t a k en p l ace since the last examinatiou. The prisoners had been removed to the Tethill-fields Prison, where Williams had written a letter to him, giving him instructions for the defence. This letter was stopped by Mr. Tracey, the Governor of the prison, who not only prevented it from being forwarded to Mr. Wolf, but went to the prisoners to caution them against employing him (Mr. Wolf), who, ho said, was "one of those scamps who frequent the police courts, without being attorneys, and without any authority from attorneys. Williams being a very old client of his, indignantly rejected Mr. Tracey's advice, saying that he knew well what the cha racter of Mr. Wolf was, and he was determined to retain him. Now, he considered it his duty to mention this, as if such proceedings were to be allowed, there was no protection for persons who were in custody on such charges. Mr. JARDINE said that he could not do anything in the matter, as, in the first place, he could not act on the unsup ported statement of the prisoners, and, indeed, he had not the power of punishing Mr. Tracey if he had been guilty of such misconduct; but there was no question that if he had done so it was highly improper. However, he would take care that inquiries should be made in the matter, and if necessarS4e would make a representation in the proper quarte?. case was then proceeded with. The following additional evidence was given : Charles Jackson, a clerk at Messrs. Ransoms, Pall Mall, said that on Saturday last the cheque produced was pro. sented by Mr. Rrew's clerk, now in court. The cheque was signed " C. Kiunaird," but as it was immediately seen that it was not Mr. Kinnaird's signature it was not cashed. The clerk took it away. Mr. Kinnaird,jeweller, of Gerard-street, Soho, said that the cheque produced had been taken out of his blank cheque book, by what means he could not tell. The signature was not his. Several other cheques had been torn from his book, but he had never noticed it until he heard of this case. This completed the case, on which the prisoners were com mitted for trial; but there was a second charge for passing another forged cheque, also in Mr. Kinnaird's name, which occupied the Court for a considerable time. In this case, however, the evidence was not complete, and the prisoners were thei efore remanded till this day-week. On the first charge they still stand committed. Mr. Kinnaird requested us to contradict the statement which appeared on Saturday, that there were no effects at Ransom's in his name. It was misapprehension of the clerk who took the cheque to Messrs. Ransom's bank. The true ground of the refusal to cash the cheque was, that the signature was seen at once to be false. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) 111 r. Lawrence Gregg, described as a gentleman of property, residing at No. 17, Ask-terrace, Hoxton, New Town, was charged with being found by the police, in the public street, drunk, and incapable of taking care of himself, and with violent conduct, &c., at the station-house. Police-constable 405 N deposed, that he was on duty at about three o'clock, when he discovered the defendant in the street, so drunk that he was reeling from one side of the pavement to the other. He had got a purse in his hand, and on witness speaking to him, the latter said, " I think I have lost some silver, and a 51. note. Witness, on examining the contents of the purse discovered the defendant's money to be correct. Perceiving, however, a female of loose character to be apparently watching him, and that he had, in addition to the cash, a gold guard chain round his neck, he thought it prudent to convey him to the station-house, with a view to his being afterwards conducted home. He, however, on arriving at the station-house, assailed the inspector, police sergeants, and other constables, with the most opprobrious epithets; lie refused to, give his name or address, and his conduct was altogether so violent, that they were at length compelled to place him in a cell, which, however, took three persons to perform. Mr. ARNOLD said the defendant's conduct was very bad. He did not see. why the defendant should be treated diffe rently to a person in humble circumstances. He should, therefore, commit him to the House of Correction for three days. Mr. Mould, the clerk to the magist ra t es a t thi s court, CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) ap peared to prefer against Edward Rimmins, the driver of the cab 2,230, a charge of not having the number of his cab marked in a conspicuous position upon the inside of the cab. Mr. Mould said he engaged the cab last night, when the defendant demanded nearly double the amount of his legal fare. Observing no number inside the vehicle, and as he (Mr. Mould) was perfectly aware that extortion on the part of the drivers generally, accompanied the absence of the number, he thought it his duty to bring the case before the magistrate. Mr. Faucher, the extensive cab proprietor of Mount Pleasant, said the defendaut was in his employment, and from his own dearly bought experience he trusted he might make an observation to the magistrates. If magis trates when cases of overcharge were proved against cabmen, were to exercise their discretionary power, and instead of fining them send them to prison, without the alternative of a fine, it would be much better for the cab proprietors them selves as well as for the public generally. When a fine WAS imposed the fraternity clubbed to p a y it ; so that in point of fact the actual offender escaped without the slightest punish. ment, often not even the payment of a single penny out of his own pocket. Mr. Mould said he did not wish to press the charge with any severity against the defendant, and Mr. COWIE ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 10s, and in default to be committed to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for seven days. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 4.—The gratifying intelligence of this vessel having been got off the rocks, in Brixtone Bay, was brought to Admiral Sir Charles Ogle this morning at twelve o'clock, and immediately communicated by telegraph to the Admiralty. The full particulars of the methods adopted by Captain Austin, Mr. Bellamy, master-attendant, and Mr. Watts, builder's assistant, with the force of riggers, seamen, and other persons *ler their orders, have not been received, but it lip known that on Ttiesday's tides the Sphynx was movlbout 46 feet; on Wednesday's morn ing tide, 175 feet; and last night at eleven o'clock she was dragged into deep water, and taken in tow by the Monkey, African, and Echo steamers, and moved to Yarmouth roads, the crews giving three hearty cheers on their success. The Sphynx, and all the vessels and men, will probably be in Portsmouth Harbour this evening. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle lied the satisfaction of commu nicating the preservation of the Sphynx from wreck to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on his calling to pay his respects this forenoon. THE GREAT BRITAIN. BRISTOL, THURSDAY.—The following documents were read at a meeting of proprietors to-day : " 18, Duke-street, Westminster, Feb. 27. "Gentlemen,—l beg to inclose Captain Claxton's account of the proceedings at Dundrum Bay during the time that he has been engaged in forming the breakwater or protection to the ship, in the manner recommended by me. " Notwithstanding the great difficulties he has had to con tend with from almost incessant bad weather, with the :wind blowing dead on shore nearly the whole of the month of Ja nuary, and consequently preventing the tides from ebbing sufficiently out to allow of the work being properly pro ceeded with; and notwithstanding the occurrence of more than one storm at the most critical period of the work, he has, as I fully relied upon his doing, succeeded in so far protecting the ship that she has been comparatively unaf fected by violent seas, which, there is no doubt whatever, would otherwise have seriously damaged her. We may now calculate with tolerable certainty upon preserving her with out further injury until the finer, or at least more settled weather sets in. _ " In the work which Captain Claxton undertook, and has so successfully completed, he has been compelled to vary very materially the mode of proceeding first laid down ; he has, in fact, been obliged to adapt his plans to his means of execution, and almost from day to day to devise modes of proceeding. with only the experience of the past day to guide him. Icumerous unforeseen difficulties have occurred, upon which he kept me daily informed ; and simple as my plan might have appeared to others, it required much skill, contrivance, and unwearying perseverance to carry out, and many alterations and improvements as it progressed. I had relied confidently on success when my friend Captain Clax ton undertook the work, and the result has fully confirmed my expectations. " It is now necessary to turn our attention to the best mode of removing the ship. 1 hope in about a fortnight from the present time to be able to give you some opinion upon this point, but it is one requiring much consideration, and until I had the opportunity of conferring with Captain Claxton on the subject, and also had before me all the mea surements and data which he has collected, it was useless to attempt am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " I. K. BRUNEL." The letter of Captain Claxton, whicl;ls — daiedf;l7 20, merely describes in detail the operation mentioned in Mr Brunel's letter. NEW LITERARY INSTITUTION.—Amongst the no velties of the day we notice with some degree of satisfaction the establishment of an office called the Literarium, for enabling the public to obtain literary aid on every variety of subject. The undertaking appears to fill up an hiatus which has long existed in the literary world, and we are inclined to think that all classes, more particularly tradespeople who require circulars written, may derive considerable assistance from the institution. SOCIETY OF FRIENDS 01' FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS. —Yesterday the annual general court of the members ps at of this society was held at the London Tavern, Biog street, J. Labouchere, Esq., in the chair. From - the report of the committee it appeared that the subscriptions had con siderably decreased during the past year, amounting to not more than 3701., whereas in 182 they were 5001., and in 1845, 1,6001. In consequence the number of pensioners re ceiving ss. a week bad been reduced from 8 5 to 80, but te same quantum of casual relief had been afforded as during more prosperous years. The total number of persons re lieved last year was 2,529, and 70,926 foreigners had been benefited by the society since its establishment. The receipts from various sources during the past year amounted to 2,490/. 12s. 5d., and the expenditure to 2,981/. ; but by a sale of some of the society's stock there remained in the bands of the treasurer a small balance of 17/. 13s. 10d. The report concluded with an earnest appeal to the public for further support. It was then adopted by the meeting, and cordial thanks having been voted to the chairman, the court broke up. LOYAL UNITED F RIE NDS.—A few evenings ago the sixth anniversary of the No. 6 Lodge of this highly re spectable social body was celebrated at the Lodge-house, the King's Arms, Wilke-street, Spitalfields, on which occasion the friends partook of a substantial entertainment. Presi dent Groom officiated as chairman, as did past President Jaques as deputy, and were supported by P. P. Campbell, D. Burgess, P. Lowth, P. P. Watson, and several other in fluential members of the order. After the usual toasts had been given and duly responded to, Deputy Burgessure proposed " Prosperity to the order, and success to t funds," which was received with great applause. The healtfis of the Chairman, Deputy ! and Treasurer Cook, were severally drank amidrmac, much enthusiasm, and the evening was enlivened with several songs, Sce. SURREY THEATRE. —Mr. E, Stirling's benefit took place at this theatre on Wednesdry evening, when the drama of Nieho!as Nichleby was revived, our old friend Wilkinson ap pearing in his original character of Squeers ; and we have never seen him play better than on this occasion The farce of the Rival Stars followed, and the popular drama of Gus tavus 111. concluded the entertainments. In the course of the evening those talented and clever children, Miss Frampton and blaster Forrest, pupils of Mr. Frampton, and Miss Louisa Coleman, pupil of Miss Gilbert, appeared, and danced very prettily. The house was crowded. DEATE OF MR. B R ADSIIAW, M.P. FOR CANTER BURY.—Dir.
