Diffidence, or a sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness mid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS " 011 Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by u +qualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, IZeid. post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and and " Ho w to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, neblts.btit e qual in quantity a library volume, nor are they the m ephemeral scribbling, of the hour. but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, ob servance of the maxims he would incu inhleatth. and position to this w sg would be done unto — to live aster nature'et:tl do unto others as hewor--ai to keep always on the "sunny s ide of the wa y ."

WHEREVER I GO 'Tis a singular thing, but a fact you must know, I'm reminded or 1/05ES wherever I go. If I go to the East, if I go to the West, The garments of MOSES my notice arrest; And the North and the South in the very same way The triumphs of MOSES' famed Warehouse display. Wherever I go 1 am certain to meet With the dresses of MOSES, so stylish and neat. If I go to a party, the gentlemen there Remind me of MOSES in all that they wear; If I take a long trip on the stage or the rail, Fellow-passengers tell me the very same tale. On the right and the left, and the left and the right, The fashions of MOSES appear in my sight. At the cot and the palace, the church and the play, The dresses of MOSES and SON I survey. Yes, the rich and the poor, and the high and the low, Remind me of MOSES wherever I go. And what do I learn from a tact such as this? That the garments of MOSES have nothing amiss. Should I meet with these dresses wherever I go, It the clothes were de - cieut in quality ? No ! But quality marks them, and fashions as well. And that's why the goods universally sell. In addition to this, they are sold very low, And hence do the public approve of them so, In every direction wherever I go.

H. Dixon ; the Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Leeke ; the Vengeance, 84, Captain S. Lushington ; and a steam- L frigate to each line-of-battle ship, is ordered to assemble at Spithead within a fortnight (the two first-named are already there) ; and, in order that the departure of these ships and vesses upon their " experimental" trip may not be impeded by the want of men a moment longer than is absolutely necessary, the Admiralty . have ordered that any men not seamen desirous of entering the navy, shall be immediately entered. For this purpose ren dezvous hav e been this day opened on the Common Hard, Portsea, and in the Victory, for the entry of all able-bodied persons willing to volunteer to do duty on board ship : accordingly placards of which the following is a copy, are numerously and conspicuously exposed on jel all the public b u ildi ngs, t h e d oc k-gates, at the various rendezvous, &c. • Wanted for her Mast 's shi A St. Vincent, 120, Howe, 120, Que en , 11 0, Caleydonia, 120, and Vengeance, 84, ablebodied seamen, and men accustomed to fishing vessels or boats, as ordinary seamen, or landsmen. Ap ply at the Row-barge Tavern, Common Hard ; or on board her Majesty's ship Victory. "JOHN PASCO, Captain. " Her Majesty's ship Victory, June 24." This is an advance iek the right direction in the endea vour to get the ships -snanned ; too much picking and choosing has been of late the practice with officers of ships fitting out, who are too apt, to indulge in the for bidding notice, " No Kest need apply," when calling for smrign. If 'pa-cannot be manned by ready made seamen, they must be manned by such as may be willing to serve the Queen afloat. There is plenty of the "raw material" in the country, which, with a little judicious trimming, may be made quite as available for all the purposes required as the old stock. Seamen are not scarce—they only want encouragement. The Resistance troop-ship, Commander G. Lowe, ar rived this morning at Spithead with the 14th Regiment from Halifax. Orders were awaiting her on her arrival to proceed with as little delay as possible to Plymouth to disembark the troops. The Diligence naval transport, which arrived here on Sunday, brought field pieces, boat guns, tumbrils, slides, &c., for the use of the boat brigade and artillery corn panies of the dockyard battalion. These have been landed today. She brought also a set of drums and bugles for the corps. Last evening the boat brigade of the Royal Clarence Yard Volunteers, under the command of Major Davies (Master-Attendant), made their first essay in gunboat practice. They were provided with a launch from the Excellent, with a 24-pounder in the bow of her. They rowed out into the harbour channel and fired seven rounds in most admirable style, which may be judged of by the fact of their having fired three rounds in the space of forty seconds! Not so bad for a beginnieg. Their major is an active and indefatigable officer, and one likely to have contributed considerably to this favourable result of a first essay. Unfortunately, in the heat of their martial ardour, they fired so close to the Quebec Hotel, that the concussion, increased by a strong wind blowing right on to the establishment, smashed or cracked nearly every pane of glass on the water side of the building, a catastrophe which also befel numerous other houses and tenements along the Portsmouth shore in proximity with the firing party, for which compensation is, of course, demanded by the pro prietors or tenants. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, intends to sail on Sunday, we believe, if the weather should prove favourable, in the Undine steam-yacht, on a visit to the Channel. Islands. On this occasion his flag will be struck in the Victory and transferred to the Undine, and the duties of the port will be carried on pro tem. by Rear-Admiral of the White Hyde Parker, C. 8., Suporintendent of the Dock) ard.

ROIVLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL, DEN TIFRICE, a FR AGRANT 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 and the Nobility throughout Europe.

An amusing exemplification of the progress of " The Snobs of England" in the vices and follies of the upper classes has been lately afforded in Brighton by an oc currence, the Quixotic extravagance of which has rarely been exceeded. The particulars of this rencontre, as well as we have been able to gather them from authentic sources are as follows :—One evening shortly p r i or to Friday, the 11th instant, a young "gent," (a fine specimen of that obnoxious class so vigo rously denounced by Albert Smith) named C----, was reclining in luxurious abandon on one of the seats of the Esplanade, inhaling simultaneously breezes from the sea and the tranquillising fumes of a cigar—when a rival "gent," one N—, in whose veins circulateth the blood of a " gallant Captain," approached him in an imperious manner and remarked that it was not very gentlemanly to be smoking cigars in such a place. To this rude accostment the other replied that it was quite as gentlemanly as t,) wear such " a shocking bad hat" as the impugner of his gentility sported. What answer this retort uncourteous provoked, and what charges and counter charges followed, are unfor tunately lost to posterity; but certain it is that the blood of the Captain " riled" high, and that the indignant fumigat,r was equally put upon his mettle. Threats were bandied, the plebian alternative of " fists " was spoken of, and— . "As their courage boiling rose From words at length they came to -" No, not to blows, but to a challenge froth C--- to 'nee t with loaded pistols on the Beach I at eight o'clock on Friday evening. At the appointed hour the antagonists met ; and the preliminaries having been completed, the seconds proceeded to mark out the ground close to the second breakwater, near Hove. Eight paces was the distance, the combatants took each his place, the pistols were loaded, and everything prepared, when at that critical juncture one of the valiant youths muttered through his chattering teeth, " Wha-a.t ! are you-you a-going to-o mur-murder me ?" It is not unlikely that some such feeling of dread was passing in the mind of his antagonist at the same moment ; for it appears cer tain from the best authorities that no inconsiderable number of paces were added to those already marked out. Indeed, it has been whispered that the parties having retired to the extreme ends of the breakwater, stood prepared to dart behind it on the word " fire" being given. " Time " being called, each gallant heart worked up its courage " to the sticking point," the arms were raised and discharged, a loud report was heard, a cloud of smoke arose, and, as that cleared away, the com batants were seen to stand unhurt. They had, however, still another brace of pistols in the case, and the laws of honour required that they be discharged. The laws were satisfied, and N— fell—in a fainting fit I When recovered, he firmly declined the honour of another shot, agreeing that if any stain remained upon the character of his " friend " it should be washed out by as much champagne as he might choose to drink at his expense. This challenge was instantly accepted, and the party adjourned to a, favourite "house of call," where they drowned all animosity in a flowing bowl. The most amusing part of the adventure remains to be told. Since the meeting, N— has been frequently heard to declare that he palpably felt one of the balls sweep past his ear, and that another brushed his hat ; both which circum stances are rendered extremely improbable from the fact that the pistols were, unknown to the combatants, charged with powder only I THE STEAM-SHIP SARAH SANDS.—LIVERPOOL JUNE 25.—Intelligence of an unfortunate disaster to this fine screw steam-ship was received in town this morning. The Sarah Sands, it will be remembered, sailed hence for New York on the 15th instant, and it appears that on Sunday, the 20th, an obstruction which had before retarded the progress of the ship at length entirely pre cluded the operation of her machinery, and the com mander determined to return to Cork to repair. The ship was accordingly put about at nine o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, and on Tuesday at midnight she arrived in the Cove of Cork, after a homeward run of 500 miles, and having penetrated across the Atlantic as far teethe westward as 21 degrees longitude. Captain Thompson, her commander, expects to sail again for New York to. morrow (Saturday). ROYAL MARINES. The half yearly examination of the officers studying at the Royal Naval College and the Royal Marine cadets in the Excellent gunnery-ship terminated yesterday, when the Commander-in-Chief announced the following as the result:— Mr. H. J. Blomfield (son, we believe, of the Bishop of London), awarded the lieutenant's commission, granted half-yearly. Second Lieutenants H. W. Mawbey and F. L. Alex ander passed into the Royal Marine Artillery Com panies. The following marine cadets were declared qualified for commissions in the Royal Marine corps, to which they will be gazetted most probably this evening :—Mr. H. G. Elliot; son of Lieutenant H. Elliot, R. M., on re served half-pay ; Mr. J. Wright, son of Lieutenant T. Wright, R.N., of Cooper's hill, Semaphore-station; Mr. G. G. Halliday, son of Air. Halliday, paymaster and purser, R.N., and steward of the Royal Hospital at Haslar ; and Mr. G. Gregory, son of retired Com mander Gregory.

PROTEST AGAINST THE RETEN TION OF CLAUSE 11. IN THE BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER, &c., BILL. Dissentient— 1. Because when Parliament declares that the interests of the Church require an increase in the number of the n h g t l h a o n dp prerogative z N a V t a v l Wales, s it is 0 , f the an c ungracious r a a s c e i on enjoyed oy i end tßeirsfhe en s c e o f w E i t by her Majesty's predecessors, to annex to the creation of such bishoprics the condition that the number of Bishops sitting in Parliament shall not be increased, and to take away from her Majesty, her heirs an d successors , the power of summoning to Parliament a ll or an y of these Bishops at any future period if it should become her or their wish to do so, thus permanently limiting the royal prerogative, under the pretext that her Majesty has been pleased to declare that, ai a t present adv i sed, she do es no t contemplate the issue of her writ to the new Bishops, except as vacancies shall f rom t i me to n ti o m w e s o i c tt e i u n r g among arl t i l a ie me ß n i t s . hops of England and Wales 2. Because by this clause the writs of summons to Parliament to which the Bishops of the ancient sees of England and Wales are by law entitled, are to be sus pended as each see shall becom e vacant, and as the right of the successive holdersof such s ees t o su ch i writs of summons s as much . inherent i n their sees as that of the Lords Temporal in their respective peerages, the abovementioned enactment constitutes a dangerous precedent, at variance with the principle of an hereditary peerage, and contrary to the privilege s as well of the Lords Temporal as Spiritual.

ROYAL COMMISSION of FINE ARTS Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the King and Queen of the Belgians, and attended by a numerous suite, honoured the exhibition of oil paintings in Westminster-hall with a visit on Friday afternoon. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Lincoln, Viscount Canning, Lord Colborne, Lord Ashburton, Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, and Mr. T. B. Macaulay, were among the commissioners who arrived at the hall early, in order to be in attendance to receive the royal party. Lord John Russell and Viscount Morpeth came at a quarter before three o'clock, and were shortly followed by the Right Hon. the Speaker, Sir James Graham, Mr. Samuel Rogers, Mr. T. Wyse, and Mr. Vivian. The royal visitors arrived from Buckingham Palace at ten minutes past three o'clock, in four of the Queen's dress carriages. On intimation of the approach of her Majesty, Lord J. Russell left the hall, and, together with Viscount Morpeth, advanced to meet the illustrious party. Her Majesty rode in the first carriage with the Prince Consort and the King and Queen of the Belgians. The royal party were attended by the Duke of Nor folk, Master of the Horse, Earl Spencer, Lord Chamber lain, the Marquis of Abercorn, Groom of the Stole, the Marchioness of Douro, Lady in Waiting, Lady Caroline Cocks, Maid of Honour, the Lady in Waiting on the Queen of the Belgians, Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting, Lord Alfred Paget, Equerry in Waiting, and Major Moerkerke. On alighting, her Majesty was received by Lord John Russell, who conducted the illustrious party to the en trance of the hall, where the other commissioners had assembled. The Queen entered the exhibition first, resting on the arm of the King of the Belgians. The Queen of the Belgians followed, with the Prince Consort, the mem bers of the royal suite coming next, and the commis sioners bringing up the rear. Mr. Eastlake, the secre tary to the commission, was in attendance within the hall, and as her Majesty entered that gentleman placed in her hands an elegantly bound catalogue of the exhi bition. Her Majesty then proceeded to inspect the paintings, passing first up the lefthand side of the hall, returning on the opposite side, and subsequently making a second circuit of the exhibition. The works to which premiums have been awarded by the commissioners were pointed out to the Queen by Mr. Eastlake, and with several of them we understand her Majesty expressed herself greatly pleased. The visit of the royal party was any thing but formal. Kinong the works which evidently attracted the greatest observation by the royal party were those of the " Battle of Meeanee," by Mr. Armitage, to which the commissioners have awarded a premium of 5001.; the "Burial of Harold at Waltham Abbey, A.D. 1066," by Mr. Pickersgill, to which also a prize of 500 i. is awarded; and Mr. J. Noel Paton's picture of " The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania, which is placed in the second class of the commissioners, entitling the artist to a prize of 3001. The first of these three pictures is a very large subject, measuring 21 feet by 16 feet. It illustrates a pas sage in Napier's conquest of Sinde, where, speaking of this battle, he describes the " van to have been a chain of single combats, where no quarter was given—none called for—none expected." The delineation of such a scene by an artist possessing Mr. Armitage's acknow ledged talent, could not fail to produce an admirable re sult, and such, indeed, has been the case. The " Burial of Harold" is a fine subject, and has been very well treated by Mr. Pickersgill. Mr. Paton's picture, which, among its colossal companions, appears quite a cabinet subject, is eminently beautiful. Her Majesty was en gaged in admiring the beauties of this work for a very long period, and she more than once called the attention of her illustrious relative to it. A small picture, by Mr. Jacob Thompson, illustrating " her Majesty reviewing the Drummond Clan in the Courtyard of Drummond Castle, Perthshire, the seat of Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, during her Majesty's first visit to Scotland, in 1842," was also especially noticed by the Queen; as were two com panion pictures by Mr. John Wilson Carmichael, the one depicting Captain Cook in the Tropical regions, and the other, Captain Parry in the Polar regions. Her Majesty and ber illustrious relatives having com pleted •their second circuit of the exhibition, and ex pressed to the commissioners the gratification they had experienced from their visit, left the hall at a quarter past four o'clock, attended as on their arrival. There was a large concourse of spectators in the vici nity of the hall, attracted by the royal visit, and as her Majesty left she was loudly and repeatedly cheered by the crowd. The royal party drove from Westminster-hall to the New Palace, her Majesty being anxious to afford the King of the Belgians an opportunity of inspecting the liouse of Lords. Mr. Barry was in attendance here, and had the honour of conducting the royal party through the completed portions of the building. Shortly atter the departure of the Queen his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke or• Saxe Weimar, attended by Count de Beuat, the Baron Zigesar, and Cap tain Taylor, paid a visit to the Hall. His Royal High ness was received by Mr. Eastlake, who had the ho nour of conducting the august Prince through the ex hibition. We subjoin a copy of the judges' award:— PREMIUMS OF 5001.

Calcott Horsley. to be dead, takes the crown from the cushion (No. 46) The parenthetical figures apply to the number of the respective works in the catalogue. The notices issued by the commissioners limited the number of works sent in by each artist to two subjects. Of the successful competitors, Mr. Watts, Mr. Paton, and Mr. Lauder alone contributed two pictures ; the other gentlemen exhibited only one each. The award in the cases of Mr. Paton and Mr. Lauder are made in respect to the merits of both their works. In the case of Mr. Watts only one of the paintings sent in by that gentleman is alluded to in the judges' award. The judges were the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Samuel Rogers, Sir Richard Westma cott, Mr. Etty, and Mr. Cook, and we are enabled to state that when the final award was made all these gen tlemen were present. In the award the several works are mentioned in the order of merit they are considered to possess. The names which appear in the above list include those of four gentlemen who have previously obtained prizes from the commission. In the cartoon exhibition of 1843 Mr. Armitage obtained a premium of 300/. for his drawing of " Caesar's First Invasion of Great Britain ;" Mr. Watts also obtained a similar premium of 300/. for his cartoon of " Caractacus led in triumph' through the streets of Rome ;" and Mr. Horsley received the award of 2001. for his carthon of "St. Augustine preaching to Ethelbert and his Queen Bertha." Mr. PRICE SD. Picitersgill was the recipient of one of the after premiums of 1001. in the same exhibition. The exhibition altogether is, we believe, considered very satisfactory, by the commissioners, though it doubt less contains many works of an inferior degree of merit. Among the subjects which have not obtained premiums, though considered to show great excellence on the part of their respective authors, are an unfinished painting, from a cartoon designed for the compartment to be de voted to the " Allegory of Justice in the House of Lords;" by Mr. W. Cave Thomas ; " The Wreck of the Blanche-Naf, or White Ship off the coast of Normandy, with the melancholy fate of Prince William, son of Henry the First, and his sister Maude," by Mr. T. A. Woolnoth ; the " Acts of Mercy," by Mr. W. Riviare ; and " The Defeat of Kellermann's Cuirassiers and Ca rabineers by Somerset's Cavalry Brigade at Waterloo," by Mr. T. S. Cooper, A.R.A. It was stated on Friday that the late Mr. Haydon's picture of the " Banishment of Aristides" had been ad mitted to the exhibition, although not strictly in accord ance with the notices issued, which required that all paintings sent in should be prepared for the occasion. We understand the representatives of Mr. Haydon's family applied to the commissioners some time since to know it they would purchase this picture for the nation. The Commissioners did not feel justified in acceding to this request, but they have permitted the painting to be sent in for exhibition. There are two or three other subjects in the Exhibition with which those who have visited the Royal Academy during the last two or three years will be familiar. Whether these have been im posed on the commissioners. as original subjects it is impossible to say. Fortunately, they are of so unim portant a character as scarcely to deserve observation or remark. The private view, for which a large number of tickets have been issued to the leading members of the aristo cracy, takes place this day. This day the Exhibition will be open to the public on payment of ls. each. This charge will be continued for three weeks or a month, after which the admission will be free. It should be added that the price of the respective works may be ascertained on application to Mr. Peck ham, who has so ably superintended the minor details of all the exhibitions which have taken place under the commission. 4, 1.1 2 1. 4 V cdp .:•, t... - C..). CAPTURE OF A SLAVER. We have been favoured by a correspondent at Sierra Leone with the following account of the capture and de struction of the slaver Tres-Amigos, a Brazilian brig of 415 toes, with 10 officers and 46 men, by her Majesty's steam•sloop Devastation, R. Levingo commander:— "On the morning of March 16th, being in lat. 5.30 N., long. 3.10 E. of Greenwich, the Devastation chased a suspicious-looking brig, which, on seeing her, imme diately made all sail, and ran in towards the land. After a chase of 511. 30m., with all sail set, and making eighteen revolutions in the minute, firing the long gun, loaded with shot, at 10h. 45m. the stranger hoisted a Brazilian ensign at the main, and in a quarter of an hour from that time she ran upon the beach near the river Lagos, in lat. 6.20 N., long. 3.10 E. of Greenwich. Two boats were seen to leave the brig, filled with men, who es caped to the shore. The steamer having come close up and anchored, immediately manned and armed her boats and sent them to board, under command of First Lieut. P. M. Godfrey, with Acting Lieut. J. Carmichael and Mr. T. Coutts, boatswain. They found the brig well armed, two long 18-pounders on pivots, one between the masts and the other abaft the mainmast; two broadside guns forward (18-pounders), and two brass swivels on the bulwarks of the quarter-dock; also nettings to repel boarders, ammunition, muskets, cutlasses, blunderbuses —in fact, every kind of weapon for defending a vessel. " The surf was very dangerous, one of the boats of the Devasta'ion being dashed to pieces alongside the slaver, and the crew washed ashore; one also upset, and was driven ashore by the rollers, and the brig in a short time became a total wreck. The officers and men, after cutting away the masts with their cutlasses, found it necessary to swim ashore for their lives. The brig parted amidships. One marine was lost in trying to swim ashore. "The man who had been looking out at the mast-head of the slaver was seen in the surf, heavily ironed, having been thrown overboard by the captain for not keeping a better look -out and seeing the cruiser before. The Devastation's crew tried to save the poor fellow, but his irons took him down. The surf ran so high as to make it quite impossible to get off to the Devastation, so the men had to remain ashore till the next morning, when the paddle-box boat was anchored at the back of the surf, and the dingy being well buoyed up with cork fenders and bunkers, was veered ashore by hauling lines. After various attempts, which proved successful, in em barking the men, they were all got off. The French man-of-war brig Leger rendered every assistance in trying to get the men off. Too much praise cannot be given to the captain, officers, and ship's company of this brig for their valuable services. " All the prisoners, ten in number, who were found on board the brig were saved. " The Devastation has also taken an American brig under Brazilian:colours, with 520 slaves on board, bound to Rio. _ _ _ " The Tres-Amigos had made several successful trips tom the coast. On the last voyage she landed at Babia 1,400 slaves." DEATH OF ADMIRAL THE HON. SIR ROBERT STOPFORD, G.C.B. This venerable and much respected naval officer ex pired on Friday forenoon at his temporary residence at Richmond, at the advanced age of 80, and after a service in the Royal Navy of a period close upon 70 years. Latterly the gallant officer has been best known as Governor-General of Greenwich Hospital. Sir Robert Stopford was a member of the noble house of Courtown, and was born in 1768, being the son of the second Earl of Courtown. When at a tender age he entered the navy, and after a probationary service as midshipman, was appointed to a lieutenantcy on the 15th of July, 1785. His further commissions were thus dated : Commander, June 2, 1789 ; captain, August 12, 1790 ; rear-admiral, April 28, 1808 ; vice -admiral, August 12, 1812; and Admiral, May 27, 1825. The career of the deceased was distinguished by circumstances of more than ordinary brilliancy. In Rodney's action of the 12th of April, 1782, he was midshipman of the Prince George. In Howe's action he was captain of the Aquilon, and in Cornwallis's retreat he commanded the Phaeton. At the battle of St. Domingo, where he was wounded, he was captain of the Spencer, 74. He sub sequently received a medal for his conduct at the latter engagement. In Gambier's expedition to Copenhagen, which followed, he commanded the same vessel. In 1809 he was rear-admiral in command of the squadron which destroyei three French frigates under the bat teries of Sables d'Olonne. He next distinguished him self while commanding the second shore squadron during the attack upon the French fleet in Aix Roads. Ile also commanded a squadron at the Cape, in the Scorpion (74); and subsequently the naval forces at the capture of Java, in 1813. He returned to England, and remained somewhat inactive, until 1839 and 1840, when, as Com mander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, he superintended the operations on the coast of Syria, and bombardment of St. Jean d'Acre, for his services at which he received the special thanks of Parliament, On the Ist of May, 1841, Sir Robert was appointed to the Governorship of Greenwich Hospital. an office now, of course, vacant, the salary being 1,5001. per annum, with residence, &c. He held the Orders of Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, also that of St. Michael and St. George. In 1841 he received the Order of St. George, second class, from the Emperor of Russia, and the Grand Cross of the Red Eagle from the King of Prussia. He received the Order of Maria Theresa in the same year. The deceased married, in 1809, Miss Fanshaw, by whom he has had issue several children. Two of his sons are in the navy, and his second daughter is the relict of Lord 11. Russell, who died in 1842.

AT HYDE -PARK, SHEFFIELD.—WaIking match of six miles for two Silver Watches and a Silver Guard—John Johnson and Joseph Harrison, of Sheffield ; James Thompson, of Heeley; John Harrison, of Hackenthorpe; Henry Stead, of Ecclesfield; George Rhodes, of Eccle sall, to start from the scratch; William Robinson, James Plant, and Reuben Dalton, of Sheffield, allowed 100 yards; Thomas Knight, Hoskin, and Marriott, of Shef field, 150 yards; John Drabble, of Attetchffe; Samuel Wing, Charles Pashley, and John Knight, of Sheffield, 200 yards start. Eight started, and the match was won in good style by Pashley, Marriott taking the second prize. THE Novßt. RACE IN CIA:MS.—Luke Furniss agreed to run in regular Lancashire clogs one mile, while his op ponent, William Gibbons, did the same distance in racing shoes. They went off at the first signal, Cloggy taking a short lead, but" Luke the Labourer," who is a penknife cutter by trade, pushed on with his wooden " under standings" till he reached the hotel the second time round, when he passed his opponent like a dart, and on ascending the hill, the third titre, he passed his anta gonist, who dropped the contest, leaving Luke to win as he pleased. WESTEIALL'S SEVEN-MILE MATCH FORTY SOVEREIGNS, AGAINST TIME.—On Tuesday, Charles Westhall, of London, performed a remarkable teat, at Hyde-park, Sheffield. He walked twenty-four times round the ground, besides 128 yards on the ground, thus completing the seven miles, two seconds within the hour. It is a question whether he did not go round the ground twenty five times; if that was the case, he did more than the distance stipulated . RUNNING MATCH FOR 1001.—A match has been made at the house of Mr. Thomas Cullingworth, Westber, Sheffield, for 50/. a side, between Jackson, better known as the American Deer, and Sherdon, of Sheffield, to run two miles, in five weeks from Tuesday last. One part of the agreement s:ipulated that the "Deer" should give Sherdon 31. to run near London, and that each should have a due share of the money received. This is a match which will excite more than usual interest, Sherdon being a splendid two mile runner, and the " Deer" more accustomed to longer distances, possessing lasting qualities rarely equalled.
