ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. s Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the'ecope and operation of the laws of MOT tality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well al various cal culations regulatieg their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struetion of these ass. ciations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whice ebould be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the . •4annel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in propor•ion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual er to every class amongst the industrious communi t y , that p rovision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a Peeniilary sacrifice ; whi e to others such a pro v isi on a pp ears more attractive, and the hem of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. Fur this anomalous state instead things there is an effective and simple remedy ; tha t is to sa y , of covering, by one weekly or annual payment. two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate coetribution. It is to not having obs,•rved this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar fun, tions. and by confounding a sick allowance and all annuity fund in one and the sell• same payment, that much of the evils and tnismariagernent has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanise, can be sn perfect for the management of a sick ' e " - filnd provision as that afford& by the constant sectional asso dation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually . xercised, and none but the really sick are likely W become chargeable neon it. Bin the same perfection, or the same se •urity. Is seldom attainable Where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear oat calculations, money investment being itt general beyond the experience of th.• industrious classes. For these reasons it is tear that the funds destined or a provisioe in sickness should be kept entirely distinct iron, the f .nd intended as a Provision for old age:— let Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger Provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing f or probable sickness on themselves. a rovision for old age, 3 d. Because the responsibility o f managing p con tinued to a distant period is, in a great measure, Incompatible With voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv dual irre sponsibility,odi narlland e s sect, a contract . that when undertake* on the same principles that milted in the 4th. govern commercial hodie . Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en anger the one for the sake of the other. Im pressed with these convictions , and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the 'bosom of many of the existin g Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties who s e names are here __ t attached, have had several meetings, with a view of p ro p osin g ;.):: and gi mutual a adoptingtu, a remedy f or th o se and other evils ; and in t his manner sul!ltional f orce to th e principles of brotherhood , unity , ai dike lid, . ..which friendly societies a re based, by guarding than from t he mach dike of sudd en di sso lution. After Proposed from objects of F diligent search amon st the combinations ingeniously time to time for the attainment of one of the principal _ . Friendly and in simplicity Benefit Societies, they have found none equal and sympathyand true that the Prehensiveness of design, as well as forethought propo s es provision in for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan by the _National Lo ;n Fun Life Assurance Society. It is author of that plan has furnished an argument against ex pediency sickness ; but, without concurring in the immediate ex treaco.thayetreinpaYernotefoeafbasathnidedoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the plan itself, without being fully sa•isfied that the "se** of Friendly and Benefit Societies will be allow : secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick A deputation from an annuity for old age.

OWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates tartar from the.teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers; scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns arid the Nobility throughout Europe.

INVESTZENT Ok' VERA ADRUZ: saso 1 le diiornug noddnne (From the Courier anciF.npirer.) The schooner Portia, at New Orleans, brings news from Vera Cruz to the 15th ult., embracing lie very important intelligence that the entire American firce under General Scott, amounting to 12,000 men, bad within three miles of Vera Cruz witheert serious opposition, and that the several columns had immedately taken up the Positions assigned to them in the siege ofthe city and castle. 'Cho details of this intelligence are coitained in the effected a landing cor respondence of the New Orleans papers d the 25th, and we give below every important fact which hey contain. On the 6th ult. a reconnoissance was made with the steam boat Petrita, by a party under Generals Scott, Patterson, Worth, Pillow, Quitman, and Twiggs, wth their aids and on board approached the castle the the Topographical Corps. As the steam-boat with the party throwing shell and round shot, but did io damage to the reconnoitering party, the shot falling shorter going over, and the shells exploding without damage. During this opera tionguns mened upon them, the transports and convoys were lying off Anton Lizardo. The steam-boat approached within a mile and a half of the castle. On the return of tie reconnoitering party, the transports and convoys,, early in the morning of the 9th, weighed anchor and stood to the south, bear ing taking position so- as to in towards the main land with a fne breeze and in gallant style, when they came .as anctor, the convoys troops. General Worth's division was tie first to take its , place in the surf-boats. One of tht small steamers ran along the shore and fired a 'gun to ascertain if there tainint, from 80 to 100 men, were any concealed batteries or troops to oppose the protect the disembarkation of the landing, Nothing was revealed, and the order was give to advance. The 'surf-boats, about fifty in number, each con the most perfect order. As the boats approached the shore near enough to touch the ground, the mm leaped out and formed lines by companies and Marched ashore. No opposi tionmoved off in gallant style and in was offered. General Patterson's division (the 2d) next debarked in the same manner, and were followed by the 3d, or General Twigge's division. It was past mid night before the troops ceased landing. The surf boats were manned by the sailors - from the United States fleet. The scene is described as one of great magnificence. The rigging, tops, and every tart of . ;he foreign vessels pre sent were coverechwitti spectators .-; i.,. men. as they went ashore, raised the " stars and stripes," and, with loud shouts, rushed up the sand-banks ; and everything was done in the most perfect order. At' about two o'clock on the morning of the 10th an alarm was raised, the troops cheered, and the whole line sprang to their arms along the beach. The American picket guard had approached some Mexican cavalry who were watching their movements, and bad received some shots. Half an hour after a detachment of our troops had a slight skirmish with another cavalry force, and several volleys were fired, but without injury on either side. The landing was effected at about three nn a rlf foe continued tioaohon a uwet d bmie v nitdesi a ul: n etet miles from the city. The American forces were imme diately organized, and the several columns took up their line of march for the positions assigned to them in the plaa of the siege.

He artillery and both filled with infantry. Both were charged interior, driving the Mexicans before it. In the charge upon the redoubts a number of our men were killed, 17 as stated by the Picayune. Among them was Captain Alburtis, of the 2tl Infantry, who was sitting at the foot of a tree, when a cannon ball, which had passed over the Pennsylvania Regiment, struck him and carried away nearly his entire head, took off the arm of a drnmmer boy, and wounded a corporal. The shot is supposed to have come from the Castle. Captain Alburtis came from Virginia, and formerly conducted a news paper in Fredericksburg. Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, of the Palmetto (S. C.) Regiment was wounded in the breast by a musket-ba I. In spite of all opposition, however, Worth's division steadily advanced to its position, when it halted, and immediately commenced the work of entrenchment; 15 or 20 of the Mexican cavalry were taken prisone rs , h orses an d men, and some 50 killed. - Worth's division w a s c l ose ly fol lowed by the 2d and 3d, which also took positions. General Patterson sent General Pillow's brigade to the interior, and took his position on the left of General Worth's. General Twiggs took his in the rear of Patterson's. An old cathe dral was at once occupied by General Pillow, and soon after he seised a magazine with 150 boxes of ammunition; the larger part of the ammunition, however, had been removed into the city. During all this time the enemy kept up a fire of shell and round shot from the Castle, few, of which, how ever, reached the line. On the morning of the 11th our army moved still nearer the city, Worth's division being on the right, and resting on the sea shore; General Patterson's in the centre, extending back into the country, and General Twiggs's division on the left, still further to the interior. They approached consider ably within range of the guns in the town, and- could be reached by those in the Castle, from both of which a brisk cannonading was kept up during the day. The line ex tended across the railroad which goes from the town to the magazine, and the aqueduct which supplies the city with water was likewise in our possession. In short, the city was fairly invested, and communication by the main roads cut off. Intrenchments were marked out, and worked on, which were near enough to the walls to render our heavy guns effective. These guns have not been taken on shore. On the morning of the 13th the line of investment was completed, extending unbroken from Point de Hornos on the right to Point de la Catita on the left, and closely besieging the city. Active preparations were under way for the immediate subjugation of the place. ,During the 12th the works were prosecuted, though, in consequence of a heavy norther, no guns or mu nitions could be landed. It was supposed that the batteries could not be planted for several days, and until they could be made effectual the fire would not be opened at all. The pipes for supplying the city with water have been discovered and cut off. Captain Vinton, of the Artillery, took up his position at a lime-kiln close to the walls of the city, without loss. Neither Duncan's nor Taylor's batteries had arrived, nor had Colonel Harney reached there with his dragoons. General Twiggs had captured a number of cattle. It is sup posed there are about 4,500 troops in the Castle. United States sloop of war, Albany, Sacrificios, March 13, morning. At half-past three o'clock this morning the enemy opened with round shot and shell, not only from the batteries around the towr, but from the Castle. Rockets were also thrown, and the sky at times was com pletely lit up by them, yet a large portion of them fell short. In the mean time our own men, are compelled to re main quiet and take this fir the hardest duty a soldier has to perform. All are anxious to strike back, and they will be gratified in the course of a few days. During the advance upon the rear of the city, passed Mid shipman Rodgers, who had not yet been sent from Vera Cruz, was bound en a cart and ordered to be conveyed, under a guard, to the prison at Perote, but fortunately they were encountered by our forces, and Mr. Rodgers was rescued and is now on board his ship. GENERAL TAYLOR AND SANTA ANNA. Tne Matamoras Flag of the 13th contains the follow ing ettneerning Santa Anna's movements: — "We understand from reliable authority , that there are letters in tow n f rom Mexicans stating th a t Santa Anna is in full retreat to San Luis Potosi. The letters also state that he held a consultation with his principal officers after the first day's engagement, and that a retreat was then strenu• ously advocated. " Before the b a ttl e commenced, t h e M e xicans firmly be lieved that Ge nera l T aylor would re ti re before their vastly superior numbers, and that in his retreat they co ul d supply themselv es w i t h prov i s i o ns, of which they were much in need, a l most starv i ng . Finding the Americans obstinate and d e t erm i ned to fight f or th e ir eatables with th e ferociousness of bull-dogs, they despaired of getting a - dinner from them, and deemed it prudent to retire." It seems hardly possible that Santa Anna should have un dertaken the march to San Luis across the desert, in the ex isting condition of his army. The former news was that he had withdrawn towards Parras. The Matamoras Flay of the lath states that the Mexican force engaged in the late battle consisted of—lnfantry, 21,000. __ 13,000; cavalry, 6,000; artillery and sappers, 2,000; total.

" With high respect, I am your obedient servant, " Z. TAYLOR. " Maj.-General U. S. A. commanding. " Senor Gen. D. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Commander-in-Chief, La Encantada." " Head-quarters, Army of Occupation, Saltillo, Feb. 25, 1847. • " Sir,—l have respectfully to report that the main Mexi can force is yet at Agua Nueva. Our troops hold the positions which they have so well defended, and are prepared to re ceive the enemy, sheuld he venture another attack. " An arrangement has been made with General Santa Anna for an exchange of prisoners, by which we shall re ceive all, or nearly all, of those captured from us at different times, besides the few taken in the action of the 23d. Our wounded, as well as those of the Mexicans which have fallen into our hands, have been removed to this place, and are rendered comfortable. " Our loss in the recent action, se far as ascertained, amounts _to 264 killed, 450 wounded, and- 26 missing. One comro44l,4l4,Xentucky cavalry is not included in this statertiett; Its easualities not being yet reported. I respect fully enclose a list of the commissioned officers killed and wounded, embracing many names of the highest merit. " I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " Z. TAYLOR, " Major-General U. S. A. commanding. " The Adj.-Gen. of the Army, Washington, D.C." " Head-quarters Army of Occupation, Agua Nueva, March 1, 1847. "Sir,--I have the honour to report, that the troops of my command occupied their original camp at this place on the 27th of February, the last of the Mexican- army leaving the morning of that day in the direction of San Luis. It is as certained that the enemy is in full retreat, and in a very dis organised condition ; the men deserting and dying of starva tion in great numbers. I dispatch a command this day as far as Encarnation to harass his rear, and secure whatever mili tary supplies may be found there. " From the statement of Mexican officers, particularly of the medical staff left to succour the wounded, there seems no doubt that their loss in the recent action is moderately esti mated at 1,500, and may reach 2,000 men, killed and wounded, besides 2,000 or 3,000 deserters. Many officers of rank were lost. I enclose, a list of the names of our own killed and wounded, made as complete as practicable at this time. One Regiment (Kentucky cavalry) is not included, its return not being rendered. " The enemy ha't fully reckoned upon our total rout, and had made arrangements to intercept our retreat, and cut off the army, stationing for that purpose corps of cavalry• not only immediately in our rear, but even below Monterey. I regret to report that they succeeded near the village of Marin in destroying a train pf supplies, and killing a con siderable number of the escort and teamsters. Colonel Morgan, 2d Ohio regiment, on his march from Cerralvo to Monterey, was infested with the Mexican cavalry, with which he had several rencontres, but finally dispersed them with small loss on his own part. Capt. Graham, A.Q.11., vo lunteer service, was mortally wounded in one of these af fairs. I have no doubt that the defeat of the main army at Buena Vista will secure our line of communication from further interruption, but I still propose in a few days to change my head-quarters to Monterey, with a view to make such further arrangements as may be necessary in that quarter. " The dispositions made to harass our rear, vindicate the policy and necessity of defending a position in front of Sal tillo, where a defeat has thrown the enemy far back into the interior. No result so decisive could have been obtained by holding Monterey, and our communications would have been constantly in jeopardy. "I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " Z. TAYLOR. " Major-Gen. United States Army commanding. "The Adjutant-General of the Army, Washington, D.C. Extract of a letter dated " Saltillo, March 1, 1847. " Our scouts° bring in word that Santa Anna has gone for good, and that his whole infantry have dispersed. There is no doubt of it. We shall not see him again on this line. "To-day Colonel Warrens received a dispatch from the governors, informing him that American commissioners were now_ in the city of Mexico, and had written to the Mexican Congress, saying that they were there to make an honourable peace. " The governor requested permission to return to Saltillo, to assist in keeping order, and promising to comply with any requisition made on him." " DISPATCH OF COMMANDER CONNER. "United States Ship Raritan, off Sacrificios, March 10, 1847. " Sir,—ln my last dispatch, dated on the 7th instant, I informed the department of the arrival of Major-General Scott at Anton Lizardo. Most of the transports, with troops and the materiel of the army, having arrived about the same time a speedy disembarkation was resolved upon, it being quite important that we should effect a landing before a norther should come on, as this would delay us two or three days. After a joint reconnpissance, made by the General and myself in the steamer Petrita, the beach due west from Sacrificios, one of the points spoken of in my previous letters, was selected as the most suitable for the purpose. The anchorage near this place being extremely contracted, it became necessary, in order to avid crowding it with an undue number of vessels, to transfer most of the troops to the vessels of war for transportation to Sacrificios. Accordingly, on the morning of the 9th, at daylight, all necessary preparations, such as launching and numbering the boats, detailing officers, &c., having been previously made, this transfer was commenced. The frigates received on board between twenty-five and twenty-eight hundred men each, with their arms and accoutrements, and the sloops and smaller vessels numbers in proportion. This part of the movement was completed very successfully about eleven o'clock a.m., and a few minutes thereafter the squadron under my command, accompanied by the com manding general, in the steam-ship Massachusetts, and such of the transports as had been selected for the purpose, got under way. The weather was very fine—indeed we could not have been more favoured in this particular than we were. \Ve had a fresh, and yet gentle breese from the south-east, and a perfectly smooth sea. The passage to Sacrificios occupied us between two and three hours. Each ship came in and anchored without the slightest disorder or confusion in the small space allotted to her—the harbour being still very much crowded, notwithstand ing the number of transports we had left behind. The dis embarkation commenced on the instant. Whilst we were transferring the troops from the ships to the surf-boats (sixty-five in number), I direeted the steamers Spitfire and Vixen and the five gun-boats to form in a line parallel with and close to the beach, to cover the landing. This order was promptly executed, and these small vessels, from the light ness of their draught, were enabled to take positions within good grape range of the shore. As the boats severally re ceived their complements of troops, they assembled in a line abreast, between the fleet and the gun- . boats; and when all were ready they pulled in together, under the guidance of a number of the officers of the •quadron, who had been detailed for this purpose. General Worth commanded this, the first line of the army, and had the satisfaction of forming his com mand on the beach and neighbouring heights just before sunset. Four thousand five hundred men were thus thrown on shore almost simultaneously. No enemy appeared to offer us the slightest opposition. The first line being landed, the boats in successive trips relieved the men of war and transports of their remain ieg• troops, by ten o'clock, row. The whole army (save a few straggling companies), consisting of upwards of ten thou sand men, were thus safely deposited on shore, without the slightest accident of any kind. The officers and seamen under my command vied with each other on this occasion in a zealous and energetic performance of their duty. I cannot but express to the department the great satisfac tion I have uerived from witnessing their etlorts to contribute all in their power to the success of their more fortunate brethren of the army. The weather still continu ing tine, to-day we are engaged in landing the artillery, horses, provisions, and other material. T' - e steamer New Orleans, with the Louisiana regiment of wimp eers, 800 strong, arrived most opportunely, at Anton Lizardo, just as we had put ourselves i n motion. She joined us, and her troops were landed with the rest. Another transport arrived at this anchorage to-day. Her troops have also been landed. General Scott has now with him upwards of eleven thousand men. At his request, I permitted the marines of the squa dron, under Captain Edson, to join him, as a part of the 3d regiment of artillery. The General-in-Chief landed this morning, and the army put itself in motion at an early hour, to form its lines around the city. There has been some dis tant firing of shot and shells from the town and castle upon the tromps, as they advanced, but without result. lam still of the opinion expressed in my previous communications, as to the inability of the enemy to hold out for any length of time. The castle has, at most, but four or five weeks' pro visions, and the town about enough to last for the same time. I am, very respectfully, &c. D. Connor, Commanding Home ;Squadron. "Hon. J. Y. Mason, Secretary of the Navy, Washington." TAKING THE CALIFORNIA.—The Diario di la liabanna of the 13th inst. states, on the authority of a letter from Tepic of the 11th of February, that an expedition of Americans was about to attack the Pacific coast of Mexico, consisting of 4,500 soldiers, and more than 1,000 sailors. Guaymas, Mazatlan, and San Blas were indicated as the first points of attack, after possession had been taken of both Cali nias. SD. North American Trust, Norwich and Worcester, and United States Bank closed at prices current in the morning. There appears to be an upward tendency to prices, and the fancies will, without doubt, be favourably effected by . the improvement in the complexion of our rel,itions with Mexico ; but whatever advance is created by the present appearance of things, cannot but be temporary. A reaction must soon take place, as the only true regulator of prices, the currency, has experienced no material alteration. Several packets have arrived within the past day or two, with cargoes con siderably larger than those which came in earlier in the season. The payment of duties upon these goods in specie will draw a large amount from the banks. It is true that these packets have brought a large amount of specie, but the banks get very little of it at present. It has to go through the regular channels of trade before it finds its way into the vaults of the banks. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. FRIDAY, APRIL 2, Six, P.M.—The stock market opened very firm this morning, and there was au improvement in several of the fancies at the first board. Reading went up I per cent.; Canton , a ; United StateA Bank, ; Harlem. A. Ohio Sixes, Norwich and Worcester, Farmers' Loan, Morris Canal, North American Trust, and Vicksburg, closed at yesterday's prices.

The re quest was granted, and he is now acting in concert with Colonel Warren to keep order and prevent collisions." CITY TRADE REPORT. NEW YORK, APRIL 2.—The market for breadstuffs con tinued firm to-day. Our remarks, made some time since, in reference to the probable time and extent of supplies, have thus far been fully realised.

The Belleisle arrived from Corfu on the 6th, and is loading Indian meal for Cork, with which, and some mili tary invalids, she will take her departure this week. The Bonetta sailed on the Bth to resume her surveying labours in tke Archipelago, in the waters of Skyros, where the Volage (hourly expected from England) will immediately join her. The Locust returned from the Piraeus of Athens on the 13th, but brings no intelligence of importance touch ing the Turco-Greek question. In all probability the Sultan will detain all Greek vessels at the Dardanelles until the required satisfaction be given to him, which will tend to distress the ports of the continent of Italy and France requiring corn, of which the vessels of Greece are the chief carriers from the Danube and the Black Sea. The Ariel returned from Alexandria at ten o'clock last night, bringing the India passengers and mail, with the heavy portion of which the Ripon (whose defects have been made good) will be dispatched this evening to Southampton; whilst the Spitpire will carry on to Mar seilles this morning the mails for England by the over land route. The Flamer arrived last night from Patras and the lonian Islands; and the Tagus, from Southampton, and the Volcano, with the overland mail from Marseilles, are hourly looked for. The Arid will carry on the latter to Alexandria. The Louisa cutter yacht sailed yesterday for the Levant. The Mutine will probably be ordered to Smyrna, where, for some time past, there has been no British ship- of- war stationed. A line-of-battle ship, supposed to be French, pass( d Malta for the eastward on the 11th. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 22.—We have received letters from Rear-Admiral Dacres' squadron, and Cape papers to the 20th of February, from which we glean the fol lowing with respect to the wreck of the Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle: " Port Elizabeth, Feb. 4. " Yesterday evening, at about five o'clock, the smoke of a steamer was seen over the Sandy Point, apparently rounding Cape Receife, and nearly at the same time the retort of five or six guns was heard at intervals. The inhabitants were all on the qui vine, supposing it pro bable that this steamer was the bearer of the new Gover nor (Sir Henry Pottinger), and the guns, therefore, excited no particular attention. Soon afterwards she was made out to be the Thunderbolt, rather close in shore, and although to all appearance with all her steam up. she appeared to be making but little way, and obe deep in the water. As she neared the anchorage, ,t was discovered that her ensign was reversed, atd tt ea or the first time it became evident that some accident had happrni.d. tier close approach to the shore excited tilt alarm of the st.eetators, when in a few m'nutes it proved to be the mention to he.tch her, and aecorditlglv ~he grounded in an upright position, some distance out, nearly opposite the flaaketis River. The port boat had teen for some time alongside of her ; other boats also put off to her assistance. The first which returned brought the unwelcome intelligence that she had struck on one of the outer points of Cape Receife, had passed over the rock. but that immediately afterwards six feet of water were found on sounding the wells, and that it was with great difficulty she had been kept afloat. This morning she is in the same position, and the weather being very mild, exertions are being made to save and land her stores, &c., but scarcely any hopes arc enter tained of getting her off. She had been sent round from Simon's Bay for the 90th regiment, and had only two or three steerage passenger:." The Graham's Town Journal says—" As this unto ward disaster will no doubt become the subject of ill ah t e u r r i e , h u t d o e ff r b e r o l t anyha has remarks . further s tgt n a 9 11 to oo would bAer serv e t p h r a e t m t firer occasions made the inner passage ; that the weather was very fine, and the light breeze that was blowing was off the land."

The Dee steam-transport, Master Commander Driver, left this evening with meal for Scotland. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 23.—After the Dee steam-trans port had got out of harbour last evening a box of charts of the coast of Scotland was received from the Admi ralty by rail for her use. Her recal was consequently made. and a number of guns were fired to draw her at tention to the signal, but they never attended to it, the wind being i n a con t rary di rect i on d ou btl ess preventing the report of the guns from being heard on board.

Much surprise has been expressed that the appoint ment of Mr. Scarlett, late of the Mercury tender, to command the Commander-in-Chief's tender or yacht has been cancelled. Mr. Scarlett's appointment was to the fist instance precisely similar to that of his prede cessor, Mr. Allen, viz., " acting master," but after it had been lying in the Rear-Admiral Superintendent's office five weeks (Mr. Scarlett being then in the Mercury, on the Irish coast), it was sent for to London, and the title changed to that of " acting second-master," which strikes off nearly half his pay! Mr. Scarlett is an old sailor, upwards of fifty, and has long enjoyed the repu tation of being one of the best cutter sailors in the mari time world. Portsmouth has presented today the appearance of a fortress Preparing for siege, the sluices having been pulled up and the sea allowed to fill the moats, the water around the walls being in some places sixteen feet deep. We believe this is done to test the foundations of the fortifications. We regret to announce the death, under most painful circumstances, of Second-Lieutenant John irancis Henry, of the Royal Marine Artillery corps, a most highly-esteemed young officer, which was caused last evening under the following circumstance :—The de ceased, with two friends—Second-Lieutenant Hugh S. Buck, of the same corps, in the Excellent, and Mr. Onslow, also of the Royal Marines—was in a dog-cart, Mr. Buck driving, and were en route from the Marine barracks to Southsea for a drive, about seven o'clock last evening ; had passed along King's-terrace from Southsea-common, and were making towards Hamp shire-terrace ; when close to Croxton-lodge, where the road is not more than nine feet wide; they appeared to have suddenly changed their minds as to their intended route, and turned the horse sharp round to the right to go down Elm-grove. The tarn was so sudden, the space occupied .= making it so small, and the cen trifugal force so great, that the l'ehicle ran upon one wheel only (and that upon its outer edge) for some yards, the other wheel being some foot or more from the ground; and one of two gentlemen (Mr. Onslow, we are informed) who sat behind, endea vouring to keep his seat, grasped the iron on thewrong side of the seat, and thus accelerated a catastrophe which all near the spot who were witnesses of the sudden turn of the vehicle were aware must happen, and the cart was upset with great violence, Mr. Henry being thrown out with terrific force, and Mr. Buck upon him; while Mr. Onslow was thrown in another direction. The horse was for a moment stunned, but rose immediately, and would have inevitably dragged the vehicle over the bodies of Messrs. Buck and Onslow had not an artillery , man of the Marines, who was passing at the time, sprung l at his head and held him down. Mr. Henry was taken up instantantly, bleeding profusely and quite insensible. He was taken to Mr. Batchelor s, surgeon, adjacent ; but pulsation was not perceptible. Dr. E. J. Scott, of St. George's-square, was passing at the time of the acci dent, and instantly attended to render assistance to the sufferers ; taking Mr. Henry to his quarters in the Vic tualling Store Barracks, in his own carriage ; but we be lieve he never rallied, and died. this morning about fi.e o'clock. Mr. Buck is very much injured, and is in the hospital, and Mr. Onslow has a cut across the knee, just under the cap. The horse and chaise were not injured. CHATHAM, APRIL 23.—The Samerang, 26 guns, fitted for a guard-ship for Gibraltar, is having alterations made in her for the accommodation of ttoops, who are to pro ceed in her to Gibraltar. During the week she has teen taking in provisions, consisting of beef, bread, rum, &c., which have been brought round in lighters from the victualling-yard at Deptford. The Cleopatra, 26 guns, in dock, has her copper stripped off her bottom. Her skinning timber and keel are very defective; the whole of her gripe appears to be rotten, and it is expected that she will have an entire sew keel. She was lifted up seven inches yesterday. The Rochester, Sedgwick master, remains loading for Woolwich and Deptford yards. The ships fitting for commissions are the Terpsichore, 18 guns; Arab, 16 guns; and the Antelope steam-packet. The Mars, 80 pies, building which was commenced in January, 1840, is nearly completed in the skinning of her bottom; the knee for her figure-head is ready for fixing. Commander Jenner, R.N., and Captain Wright, of-the Woolwich division of the Royal Marines, and formerly of the Royal Marine Artillery, arrived at the dockyard this day, and commenced their duties of organising the Dockyard Battalion. The 4-gun battery to be erected for the practice of heavy guns is progressing but slowly, and it is to be so formed as to represent a ship's side; it will be 60 feet in length. The leading men of the yard assembled yesterday. It is expected that they will be the non-commissioned officers of the battalion. For the battalions of the different dockyards there are to be five staff sergeants of the Royal Marines (it is be lieved that sergeant-majors will be selected), who are to be gazetted to second lietenantcies in the carps, and placed on half-pay, and appointed to the several deck yards, viz.. Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chatham, and Wool wich, as adjuncts of the naval arsenal battalions of ar tificers. The pay of those officers is to be made up to 6s. 6d. per diem, with fuel, &c., and lodging money, 6s. per week, when quarters cannot be provided for them, and forage for a horse. In the winter season, when drills are suspended, these officers will perform the du ties of quarter-masters in taking charge of the arms and accoutrements, and other military stores belonging to their respective battalions. Sergeant-Major Christie, of the Chatham division, has been recommended for one of the appointments. Captain Wright is selected to or ganise the force, and is now employed in that duty. He returned from Pembroke yard last night, having al ready visited the other ports. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON APRIL 24.—Wind N.W., light airs and with fog. DEAL, APRIL 23.—Wind E.N.E., to E S.E.—Arrd.
