The Lords of the Admiralty continued their official
inspection at Portsmouth yesterday. After their in-
spection of the Royal Marine Artillery on the previous
evening the Board proceeded in their barge to inspect
the Wye steam-vessel in the harbour, which has been
fitted up as a condensing vessel for Balaklava by Mr. T.
T. Grant, Controller of victualling. The steam was up
on board, and the whole process of working was fully
exhibited and explained to their lordships by Mr. John
Davies, R.N., Master-Attendant of the Clarence Yard.
On leaving their lordships went on board the Black
Eagle. Yesterday morning the Board embarked in
their barge at 10 o'clock, and landed at the Royal Naval
Hospital at Hasler, where Captain-Superintendent
Dacres, R.N., C. 8., and the medical staff received
them and escorted them through the building. At
noon they proceeded on a similar visit to the
Clarence Victualling Establishment, also accompa-
nied by Captain Dacres, where they were received
by Master Attendant Davies, Mr. Storekeeper Pinhorn,
R.N., and other officials. The stores are all well sup-
plied with every kind of consumptive stock for the fleet,
and all in admirable order and condition. The new
slaughter-house was the chief object of inspection. At
2 o'clock their lordships embarked at the Queen's Stairs
and proceeded to the water-gate entrance of the Royal
Marine head-quarters at Gosport, on entering which they
were received by Colonel-Commandant Fortescue Gra.
ham, C. 8., A.D.C. to the Queen, and the officers of the
division, which was drawn up in heavy marching order
in line with the band and colours. After their lordships
had passed through the ranks the battalion was formed
in open column of divisions, and marched past in review
order ; and, although but recently brought into batta-
lion formation, all the movements were executed in a
correct and precise manner. A visit was then made by
their lordships to one of the pavilions of the men's
quarters, through which they passed, whence they
adjourned to the office of the 'Colonel-Commandant,
and inspected the( books of the division ; after this
they adjourned to luncheon with the Colonel and
officers in the grand mess-room, where the band played.
On quitting the Royal Marine Barracks the Board of
Admiralty proceeded to her Majesty's ship Excellent,
and witnessed experimental shell practice, concentrated
broadside firing, &c., under the direction of Captain Sir
Thomas Maitland, C.B. From the gunnery instruction-
ship their lordships proceeded on board her Majesty's
ship Illustrious, Captain Harris, the training-ship for
novices for the Royal Navy, finishing with a visit to her
Majesty's ship Victory, and inspecting the boys (ap-
prentices to the service), &c. Yards were manned, and
all the manceuvres incidental to a seaman's training for
service were exhibited to their lordships, with which
they expressed their entire satisfaction. In the evening
they attended a ball at the Seamen and Marines' Or-
phan Schools, Portsea,in aid of the funds of that charity,
which was well patronised.
Among the numerous visitors who have inspected tbo
factory departments of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich
it is a remarkable fact that no one has appeared to take
an interest in viewing and thoroughly understanding
the mechanical routine of the department to the degree
evinced on Wednesday by Lord Palmerston. The offi-
cers who accompanied him were fearful at the commence-
ment that the circuit of the whole establishment must
be fatiguing, and consequently not tube attempted, but
his lordship expressed his desire to go through the
whole, in all of which he evinced an interest seldom or
never witnessed there, and displayed an extraordinary
amount of judgment in many matters connected with
the foundries which astonished his attendants. In wit-
nessing the casting of some segments for traversing plat-
forms he remained with his watch in hand to note the
time required in their construction, so as to retain a prac-
tical knowledge, as it were, of these matters. On being
shown the split mortars from the Baltic his lordship was
sensibly struck with what he was convinced was a very
inferior metal. From the Arsenal they repaired to the
Marshes to witness the firing off of 6 of Capt. Boxer's para-
chute shells. Evening had already set in, and the little
fairy-like lights hovering in the air were beautifully dis-
played and seen to great advantage, in which there was
not a single failure.
The Stella, Captain Smith, sailed yesterday morning
from Woolwich arsenal with ammunition, artillery wag-
gons, and general merchandise for Constantinople. A
large number of water carts have been shipped for the
use of the troops. The barrels are fitted with screws as
well as taps, so as to render them efficient not only for
conveying water, but also to act as pontoons, if requisite.
Her Majesty's paddle-wheel-steamer Avon, of 361
tons (tender to the flag-ship Impregnable at Devonport),
sailed on Wednesday from Woolwich with machinery
for Plymouth.
In consequence of alleged breach of duty, on Tuesday
last, by the senior Lieutenant of Royal Marines, J. C.
Knight, of the frigate Castor, 36, now in Plymouth
Sound, who is charged with having gone on shore con-
trary to the orders of his superior officer, a court-martial
is to be held to-day (Friday) or to-morrow. The frigate
is bound to the Cape of Good Hope, and this circum-
stance will detain her probably until Monday,
The Urgent, iron screw steam storelsbip.. Commander
Phillips, completed her engine machinery department
yesterday at° Sheerness, and is ordered to proceed on a
trial trip on Monday next.
The crew of the Siren, 16 guns, Commander Otway,
have been paid their advance, and are now waiting orders
to leave for the Brazilian station.
The Alban, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieu-
tenant Commander W. E. Fisher, has been taken into
the fitting-basin at Sheerness to make good defects,
which !will occupy about 14 days, when she will again
proceed to Heligoland to convey volunteers for the Fo-
reign Legion.
The African steam-vessel and the Lizard steam-vessel,
Lieutenant T. B. Christopher, have been taken into the
fitting-basin at Sheerness to make
,good damage and
defects.
The Princess Alice, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel,
arrived at Sheerness on Wednesday, with despatches
from the Baltic, and left yesterday for Woolwich.
Improvements in Sheerness yard are being carried out
on a very extensive scale by Messrs J. and C. Rigby, of
Westminster, contractors, under the superintendence of
Mr. W. J. Caldwell. They have commenced erecting a
jetty to the entrance of the great fitting basin, at the sea
or harbour frontage, where there will be from 20 to 22
feet of water at high tide. It has been found necessary ,
to erect this jetty to give greater facilities and security
in the transport of men-of-war in and out of the fittins,
basin. The jetty will consist of about 150 piles. Thu
deck or platform will consist of whole timber beams, on
which will be laid 4-inch deck plank with two powerful
capstans, with leading-blocks, &c., for the securityof
transport.
A new foundry is also to be erected, and an extensive
enlargement of the yard smithery, capable of employing
at least 250 men,
The new boiler shop, of 224 feet by 111 feet, is now
quite complete and in full operation.
Various other minor improvements are being carried
out.
By a recent Admiralty circular, issued to all captains
and commanders of cruisers through the respective Corn-
manders-in•Chief, Port-Admirals, &0., it is ordered that
all Prussian vessels are to be permitted to pass unmo-
lested with cargoes of gunpowder bound to Rotterdam,
The Prussians are availing themselves of this order, or
rather indulgence, to a very considerable extent. It haw
been asked, what is the destination *of the powder after
it passes through Holland ?
In consequence of the great number of boys who have
of late volunteered for continuous service in the navy the Admiralty have issued orders that no more b 3,
shall be entered, unless they have been employedobit yis board some barge or other sailing vessel.
No. 7 Company, 13th Battalion, of the Royal Artil-
lery, in garrison at Sheerness, under command of Capt.
Cannon, are ordered to hold themselves in readiness for
immediate embarkation for Corfu. The company con-
sists of one captain, two subalterns, and 136 rank 'and
file, with 8 women. Daily draughts of artillerymen are
sent from Sheerness to Shoeburyness for mortar and
heavy gun practice.
A party of invalids from regiments in the Crimea ar-
rived on Wednesday at Chatham from the hospital at
Chichester, including non-commissioned officers, 25 in
number ; they are all wounded. Among them was
Robert Clinton, a native of Scotland, a private of the
88th, who is blind ; both eyes were knocked out by a
ball passing through the head ; it entered under the left
eye, close by the nose, and went out under the right
ear ; be is only nineteen years of age, and is taken into
the General Hospital to be surgically attended. Private
Downard, 3d Buffs, who came home with the above, is
insane ;he is also at Fort Pitt. The ,remainder were
sent to the invalid depot.
Twenty-eight invalid soldiers arrived at Chatham yes-
terday from Portsmouth, in charge of Captain Richard
Thomas, 7th Foot. They came from Scutari by the
ship Colombo. They are all wounded, and must be
discharged from the service.
The General Court-martial which assembled on Mon.
day, the 10th inst., in the camp at the Curragh of Kil-
dare, for the trial of Lieutenant A. B. M`Causland, of
the 75th Armagh Light Infantry Regiment, re-assem-
bled on Monday last, when the trial was proceeded with.
The whole of the day was occupied in the examination
of the accused witnesses, and on Tuesday morning
Lieutenant M`Causland read an address in his defence.
Lieutenant-Colonel Caulfield, M.P., the prosecutor, re-
plied, and the Court was cleared to consider its finding,
which has not as yet transpired. Colonel Loftus, 3d
West York Regiment of Militia, was president ; Mr.
John Endle Officiated as deputy judge-advocate, and
Mr. William Barker Kaye, barrister-at-law, attended
on behalf of Lieutenant M'Cau-slands

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the reception and adoption
of the report, called attention to several points of detail,
contrasting it with the past and the future prospect
of the company. He took a cursory view of the traffic
during the past five years, the last half-year giving only
an increase of 635 persons over that of 1854, which was
to be attributed not to any opposition by a more favou red
route, but from those causes that had affected all the
lines of the kingdom—the pressure of the war. The
absence of the military from Ireland had made a great
difference in the numbers of persons travelling to and
from that country (officers and their friends visiting
them), giving a decrease of 2,2791. Bs. for passengers
on the line, and 2,7221. 18s. by the boats. In the goods
department there had been a steady increase during the
half-year ending June 30, 1855, compared with 1854, of
27,378 tons, and of rates amounting to 5,6311. 15s.
The increase of expenditure had been 1,1311., giving a
net increase of 4,6001. against the falling off on the pas-
senger traffic. During the time he had filled the chair
the passenger traffic had doubled, and the goods traffic
bad trebled. He next adverted to the accounts, which
he said had been presented in a more extensive manner
than formerly, at the request of the proprietors. He
entered into the details of increase and deerease of ex-
penditure, and in reference to the items for law expenses
and compensation for accidents, said that juries returned
their verdicts in such cases rather in accordance with
the rank of the person who met with the accident
than by an estimate of the carelessness of the
Company who might have occasioned the accident. When
first he accepted the chair, he felt there was only one
way by which they might hope to receive a dividend—
that of increased rate, and from them an increased divi-
dend. (Hear, hear.) In the rapidity of the develop-
ment of the resources of the line he had been grievously
disappointed, although he had never for a moment
doubted what they were, and if he had been thrown
out a little in his sanguine expectations of an earlier
realisation of his ardent hopes and wishes, he learnt
from the report of the Committee of Shareholders there
was still a hope of their future satisfactory development.
(sear, hear.) He looked forward to the arrangements
about to be carried out between the company and the
London and North-Western Company as the best that
could be done for the interest of the shareholders of the
Chester and Holyhead line, which ought never to have
been a separate undertaking from the London and
North-Western. He believed the true problem to be
solved by railway companies was, to get as much as they
could out of the public, but not to ask too much, and
deter them from using their lines, which would not be
doing business at the best advantage. He felt, when
in business, if he could not get a good profit it was best
to be satisfied with a moderate profit—but one he always
would have, which he thought also applicable to
railways. He next adverted to the effect rates
had upon dividends, contrasting the English with
the Continental lines, explaining that the latter
paid better dividends on account of the small cost of
their construction, and the fostering care they met with
from the Government, whereas in this country the cost of
construction was high, and the policy of Parliament to-
wards railways oppressive and suicidal. After a few
other remarks with referenee to the London and North-
WesternMailway and the Chester
.and Holyhead Rail-
way, and the works constructed at Holyhead, and again
impressing on the meeting his belief that the arrange-
ments they were about to enter into with the London
and North-Western Company would be for the benefit
of the shareholders in the' Cheater and Holyhead Rail-
way, concluded by moving the resolution he 'had pro-
posed, which, having been seconded, was, after a very
short discussion, unanimously agreed to.
A. dividend of 12s. 9d. on the original preference
shares was agreed'to.
Thanks were then voted to the committee of share-
holders and to the chairman and board of directors, and
the meeting terminated.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Arespectibly-dressed elderl
person named William Newton, who described himSe;
as a surgeon, was brought up on suspicion of having
wilfully set fire to a house which he occupied, in Well-
ington-street, Kingsland-road.
Mr. Charles Johnson, a brass finisher, living in the
same street, said--I am the owner of the house, which I
let to the prisoner about six weeks or two months since.
Shortly before 12 o'clock last night I was roused from
sleep by a loud disturbance in the street, and, on run-
ning out, I observed the prisoner's house was on fire. I
immediately sent off for the engines, several of which
soon afterwards arrived, but every effort to extinguish
the fire proved unsuccessful, and the house was. cOui-
pletely destroyed in less than two hours.
Mr. Edward Dix, an inkstand manufacturer, living
opposite to the prisoner; said—About half-past 11 o'clock
last Light I saw the prisoner leave the house in a hur-
ried manner, and be had only proceeded a few yards
when I observed a strong reflection of light through
an apertUre in the shutters of his parlour window
on the ground floor. I instantly raised an alarm,
and on forcing open the door, with the assistance;of
some of the neighbours, discovered that the flames had
caught the whole of the wood work and wainscoting Of
the parlour, every portion of which was on fire. After
an ineffectual attempt to check the' progress of the fire,
we directed our efforts to effect the rescue of a with&
and her three children, who were sleeping in the front
romp of the first floor, and fortunately succeeded in saV,
ing their lives by lowering them down from the windolw
at the moment the flames were bursting through 'the
ceiling. I saw no more of the prisoner until 9 o'clock
this morning, when I recognised him amongst the
crowd who were looking on at the smoking ruins. I
immediately went up to him, and asked him what lie
meant by leaving the place as be had done; when he
must have known that it was on fire, to which the pri-
soner replied that he knew nothing at all about it and
r •he was then given into custody.
Edward Wm. Dix, son of the last witness, fully corro-
borated his father's evidence, and added that between
1 and 2 o'clock in the morning be met the prisoner in
a narrow passage in the immediate neighbourhood,
and heard a little boy inform him that his house was on
fire, to which he replied, in a suppressed voice, with the
exclamation "Hush !" and taking the boy by the arm
he led him out of sight.
Police constable Warnes, N 370, stated that upon
taking the prisoner into custody be said he had been
drinking rather freely at the time, and that he knew no-
thing of the fire, which had evidently broken out while
he was taking a walk about the neighbourhood, accord-
ing to his usual custom.
The prisoner earnestly protested his innocence, and
said that the fire must have been occasioned by a spark
from the candle, which he blew out on leaving the house,
and that he was himself a grievous sufferer from the ca-
lamity, as he was not insured, and had lost every article
he possessed.
Mr. Hammill remanded the prisoner, for a week, but
he accepted his own recognisance.
George Sims, a labourer at the Docks, was charged
with the following scandalous conduct towards his wife
and daughter :
From the statement of both the complainants, it ap-
peared that the defendant was in the constant practice of
returning home at night in a state of mischievous
drunkenness, and destroying every attempt he
could perceive they were making to earn their
own sustenance, his wife being a laundress and his
daughter a sempstress. On all occasions he studiously
avoided laying hands upon them, observing that he
should not relish a six months' imprisonment. On Wed-
nesday, however, he rather overstepped these bounds
by threatening the life of his wife witk a table knife,
from which she with difficulty escaped, and threw her-
self into the hands of the police. The daughter in tears
exhibited an expensive silk dress entrusted to her
for making, which had been torn to pieces by the
forswearde-

On Wednesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock,
the attention of police-constable 438 A. was called to a
house in Queen's-place, Commercial-road East, Ratcliff,
and several persons informed him that a most unplea-
sant effluvium issued from the dwelling, and they sus-
pected some one had been murdered there. The con-
stable, whose heat is in Clerken well, and who was
merely passing Queen's-place on an errand, immedi-
ately waited on Pemble, the beadle and sommoning-
officer of the hamlet of Ratcliff, who proceeded to the
,house in company of several of the parochial functiona-
ries and others, and, having gained admission into the
house at the rear, entered a room on the first floor,
where he discovered the body of a woman lying on her ,
face on the floor. It was in an advanced stage of de-
composition ; part of the face was eaten away by mag-
gots, and the odour was so offensive that, before Pew-
ble could approach the body, it was necessary to
use disinfecting substances, and to destroy the enor-
mous quantity of maggots on the floor. Dr Orton, of
White Hnrse-street, Stepney, was called in to examine
the body, and he stated that in his opinion the woman
had been dead 15 or 16 days. The body was placed in
a shell, and now awaits a coroner's inquest. Pemble
took possession of several wills and papers in the room
where the body is lying, from which it appears that the
deceased is the widow of George Healy, formerly of
Penves-green, Watford, Hefts, who was the son of
George Richard Healy, of Piccots-end, Hemel-Hemp.
stead, in the same county. From the contents of a will,
dated June 14, 1814, it appears that considerable pro-
perty, situated in and near Watford and Hemel-Hemp-
stead, and in Petty France, 'Westminster, was bequeathed
to the husband of the deceased. Pemble also ascertained
that, about two months ago, a person, representing him-
self as Dr. Hall, of the Old Ker.t-road, Surrey, hired the
house in Queen's-place of a Mr. Maddox, the landlord,
who is residing at No. 15, Assembly-place, Mile-end-
road, and said be intended to practice in the district, and
to dispense medicines in the shop. The house was re-
paired a id painted, the pretended doctor paid 151. in ad-
vance for a quarter's rent, and brought the deceased to
the house, and hinted that she was to be his wife. One
day the deceased went out with the "doctor," who is
described by the neighbours' as a "Jewish-looking ras-
cal," and hired a woman living in Ashton-street, Sal-
mon's-lane, Lime-house, to take charge of the premises
in Queen's-place. The same woman states that she for-
merly knew the deceased as a respectable lady, residing
at No. 7, Hard wick-place, Commercial-road. About
six months ago, the deceased waited on Mr. Williams,
the landlord of the Queen's head public house in York-
square, Ratcliffe, and asked him to look at several wills
and papers which she said entitled her to an immense
property. Mr. Williams had neither inclination or time
to peruse the papers, and returned them to her. There
is no doubt, from the information derived by Pemble,
that the deceased has been moving iu respectable society,
and that the pretended doctor had promised her mar-
riage. Inquiries were made after him by Inspector
Sullivan, of the K division, and Sergeant Smith, a de-
tective officer, No. 28 K, who went to the address he
gave to Mr. Maddox, and he was unknown there. The
two officers were engaged until a late hour last night in
endeavouring to trace Doctor Hall, but without success.
The general impression is that the deceased has been
poisoned. There. was no appearance of the deceased
having been destitute. The room in which the body was
found contained butter, sugar, coffee, and bread. The
deceased, who appears to have been about 32 years of
age, was well dressed, and had her bonnet on when dis-
covered in the state described. There was two band-
boxes, two chairs, cooking utensils, and china jars in
the room 'where the body was lying ; but the remainder
of the house was not furnished. The affair is enveloped
in the greatest mystery, and there is every reason to
suppose that the deceased has met with her death un
fairly.

MILITIA.
The Worcester3hire Militia received orders on Tues-
day morning to hold themselves in readiness to march
to Aldershott, but the' day of their departure is not yet
fixed. The furlough of the men who are gone to assist,
in harvesting does not expire till the 29th of the present
month, so that it is likely the regiment will move off
about the Ist or 2d of October.

Catherine Barry said—l am the prisoner's daughter,
but I live out at service. On Wednesday evening, on
going home, I heard a noise up stairs, and heard some
(ne scream and fall down. I immediately ran up stairs
and saw my mother in a pool of blood, which was flowing
copiously' from her nose and ears. She was partially in-
sensible. I got some water and washed her face, and as
soon as her senses returned she told me my father had
knocked her down and kicked her. I then went down
stairs, and told my father he had murdered my mother.
He said, "Serve her right." I then called in a con,
stable, and gave him into custody. After that I took
my motlfer to St. Thomas's Hospital, where she now,
