TURKEY.

Steam navigation has lately increased in an incre-
dible manner at Constantinople. More than twenty
steamers now ply daily in the Bosphorus and the Sea
of Marmara. It is said that a Russian company is
about to be formed, which will have twenty vessels to
run in opposition to those now established.
On the 19th ult., at four in the afternoon, a terrible
hurricane burst over Ibraila, in Wallachia. It only
lasted half-an-hour, but did great damage. The
losses along the Danube are immense. Several ves-
sels have gone down, and a number of persons have
been drowned. Every vessel at Ibraila suffered more
or less. In the country districts, for a radius of ten
miler, not a grain of wheat, maize, or barley remains,
all have been destroyed.

CAPTURE OF JOHNNY BROOME.
(From a Second Edition of the Sussex Advertiser )
TUESDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.
By a special dispatch from Brussels, dated the Bth
hist , received at this office at the above hour, we learn
that those active and vigilant officers, Messrs. Morten
and Dadson, of Tunbridge Wells, have, after consider-
able difficulty, succeeded in capturing John Broome,
who, it will be remembered, absconded from his bail at
our assiz.s. It appears that on the discovery that
Broome had " bolted " from Lewes, a telegraphic com-
munication was dispatched to Superintendent Morten at
Tunbridge Wells, who immediately gave chase. His
efforts were, however, unsuccessful ; but steps having
been taken to " blockade the ports" on this coast, it was
suspected that Johnny was still lying perdue in England.
From information which Morten received last week from
the Chief Commissary of Police in Belgium, with whom ho
had placed himself in communication, he proceeded to Lon-
don on Thursday last, whence haying procured a letter
of introduction to her Majesty's Belgian Consul, and
fortified with a judge's warrant, ho proceeded
forthwith to Ostend. It seems Broome had been recog-
nised by the Belgian police, and, although at large,
was under close but unsuspected surveillance. From
Ostend Messrs. Morten and Dadson wont forward to
Brussels, where they apprehended him while he was
sitting at dinner in that town, and he is now lodged
in prison. Broome has employed a solicitor, and pro-
tests against being conveyed to England. He declares
that foreign air is " so beneficial to his health" that he
will not return to this country. The Chief Officer of
Police at Brussels, however, says that he will be given
up. The parties were to have an interview with the
British Consul yesterday. Messrs. Morten and Dadson
fully anticipated reaching England with their protege
this day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Thomas Parry, the printer who was charged
at this court on Monday with attempting to commit
suicide, was brought up yesterday before Alderman
Cubitt, having been remanded for the attendance of
the relieving officer and overseer of the West London
Union to explain why they refused to relieve the family
of the prisoner.
_ _ _

Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, appeared,
and stated that the prisoner's wife called on him on
Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, but having
visited No. 2, Holborn-buildings, the house in which
she was living, on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri-
day previous, and not seeing any signs of the destitu-
tion and distress complained of by the prisoner and
his wife, nor of the eight young children, he was in-
duced to doubt the truth of the wife's statement, and
therefore told her to send her husband. Soon after
she left the office he went to 2, Holborn-buildings,
again, for the purpose of satisfying himself of their
distressed state, and relieving them ; but he found no
one in the rooms generally occupied by the prisoner's
family, and on proceeding upstairs he only saw several
of the other lodgers lying about in a beastly state of
intoxication. If he had found the wife's circum-
stances in accordance with her statements, he would
have taken the whole family into the union at once.
The wife assured the Alderman that the statement
was correct as to the destitute condition of the
family, and added that she had lived five years in the
same house, but was out when Mr. Chamberlain
called.
Alderman CUBITT asked the prisoner for whom he
had worked ? The prisoner said he was workino.
latterly for Messrs. Woodfall, but that he only earned
23. 6d. during the whole of last week.
Alderman CUBITT regretted that the prisoner should
have been placed in such a position ; however, some
very humane individual, under the name of "Type,"
had forwarded 53. for his (the prisoner's) use.
The money was then given to the wife, who ap..
peered very thankful for the trifling assistance, and the
prisoner was then discharged.
Mr. Chamberlain said he would immediately attend
to the wants of the family.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Chamberlain
again attended and said, that since he left the court in
the morning, he had visited the prisoner's lodgings,
and instead of eight children being at home and with-
out bread, he found only four, besides two who were
earning 33. per week each. He had also ascertained
that the prisoner was an idle, drunken, profligate
character, and able to earn 21. per week, but when
he did so he never brought home more than about
123. per week to his wife, who, at the time she ap-
plied for relief, he (Mr. Chamberlain) thought was
partially intoxicated, and who, he had since ascer-
tained, had really been drinking.
Jane Moriat, who had lived 11 years in the house
adjoining, confirmed all that Mr. Chamberlain had
stated, and also said that the prisoner had plenty of
work if he would only attend to P.
Alderman CUBITT said, he was convinced Mr.
Chamberlain had done his duty, and his explanation
had removed any reproach that might have been at-
tached to him in the first instance through an erro-
neous statement.
After the Alderman had left the bench, a letter was
received containing a donation of 51., from " E. H.,"
to be applied for the benefit of the prisoner and his
family ; and, if found not deserving, to be appro-
priated to any other charitable use the Alderman
might think fit. Two young men, printers, called
at the court to inquire if the prisoner was a de-
serving object, as they were getting up a subscription
in their office for him ; but, on being informed of
what had transpired, they expressed an intention to
assist the wife and children, but not to allow any
money to pass through the prisoner's hands. With
regard to the 53. from " Type," an acknowledgment
was requested in the papers.

IRISH EVIDENCE.
On the inquest at 'Six-mile-bridge, one of the wit-
nesses, John German, displayed a fair sample of the ec-
centricity and shrewdness so frequently displayed by
Hibernians, when on the table of TheMiS. The follow-
ing is the report of his cross•exarnination :
Cross-examined by Mr. Graydon—l hold under Sir
Lucius O'Brien—long life to his honour—and I have
my receipts in my pocket—that 'a the chat—(Laughter)
---I couldn't tell how many people were in the lane, but,
Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness—Sure 'cis you that's making me speak.
Mr. Graydon—Tell me, sir, how many people were
there ?—No answer.
Mr. Graydon—Come, sir, answer the question.
Witness—l don't know how to answer your honour,
for fear of disobliging you.—(Laughter.) The people
in the garden were all standing up like fools, and God
knows I was the chief fool amongst them, for the cross
woman I have desired mo to stay in bed that morning.
and if I did I would not see this.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—ls your wife a young woman ? Wit-
hess—She was once young.—(Laughter.)
Cross examination continued—l cannot tell how many
persons were there, for it was not them I was minding.
I cannot say whether there were five or five hundred,
for I was dazzled. I went near enough not to bo there
at all when the ball passed my two poor shins.
Mr. Graydon—Now this is too bad—answer, sir.
Witness—'Tis happy for the woman that owns you.
You're a pleasant man, God bless you.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—Did you see any women there? Wit-
ness—Arrah, man, how could I notice them when I was
not on the wall lla you'd be taking a dust of snuff, if
you take any.
Mr. Graydon—What were you doing while on the
wall? Witness—Looking at the muzzles of the guns,
for they had bayonets screwed on, and I was afraid I'd
get a prod.
Mr. Graydon—How many men were in front of the
soldiers? Witness—l hadn't time, man, to do what you
are asking me.
Mr. Graydon—Were there men there at all? Wit-
nes—lt there were, they were in a bad place, that's all I
know. I wouldn't notice a woolpack there, I was so
frightened.
To the Coroner—There was not an " item" to pre-
vent two children passing through the lane; and as

I'm—
Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness--I wish to God you'd tell me to hold my
tongue entirely.—(Laughter.)
To Mr. Graydon—l saw nos tonesers thrown in I

that day, and didn't see any tones struck. dnt

The way I'd be on the safe side, I should say there were
from eight to twelve shots in the lane, and three or four
afterwards.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Commodore Lambert, who has been second in com-
mand in the East Indies, with a blue broad pendant in
the Fox, 42, and has conducted all the naval operations
at Rangoon, has bean appointed a first-class commodore,
which, with his red pendant, will give him the pay and
privileges of a flag-officer. This gallant officer has won
this mark of distinction, and the appreciation of his ser-

vices is highly creditable to the Asd'nairal;y.
The commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Atuten,
has left the affairs at Rangoon entirely in the hands of
the commodore, for in his flag-ship Hastings 72, Cap-
tain Austen, and accompanied by the Sphynx, 6, steam-

loop, Commander Shativvell, and the Rattler, 9, screw-

Sloop, Commander Mellersh, he left Rangoon, May 10,
for Penang.
Captain Thomas Wren Carter (1831). who last com-
manded the Caledonia, 120, has been selected by Rear-
Admiral Dandas, C. 8., the commander-in-chief in the
Mediterranean, as his flag captain, in the room of Cap-
tain Goldsmith, who has returned to England on private
affairs.

Commander Lord John Hay (1851) has been appointed
to study stoem at the factory, I,Voolivich.
Lieut. Arthur 'rower (1842), of the Britannia., 120,
fli,;-ship in the Mediterranean, has been selected by the
Commander-in•Chiel at Sheern,ss. Vice-Admiral the
Hon. Joscelino Percy, C. 8,, ai his fl,g lieutenant, vice

flog-ship, Portsmouth; George D. Murry (1847), to the
Inflexible steam-sloop, Portsmouth.
Mate—J. G. C. Evered, to the given, 116, Devonport.
Assistant-Surgeons—John Murphy, to the Jamaica
Hospital; Dr. H. C. Wilsrin, to the Highflyer screw-
frigate; Charles H. Chambers, acting of the Niger
screw-sloop, confirmed.
Midshipmen—Henry Batten, to the Impregnable flag
ship, Devonport; James A. Poland, to the Excellent;
W. J. Johnstone, to the Queen.
DOCKYARD.—S. R. Laish, foreman of sailmakers at
Sheerness, has been appointed to be master sailmslcer at
Portsmouth. George Roome, at Deptford, to be foreman
of sailmakers at Sheerness.

OFF MALAGA, JULY 17.—The squadron, fourteen in
number, with Admiral Dundas; it blowing a good
breeze the Admiral sent the Trafalgar six miles to lee-
ward, and then started all the other ships to sail round
her, and then beat up to him. We rounded the Trafal-
gar in the following order—Phaeton, Vengeance, High-
flyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Albion, Arrogant, Bel-
lerophon, Dauntless. The Phaeton was tour minutes
before Vengeance, which was half a minute before
Ilighflyer. In beating up to windward the latter soon

stepped to windward of ail except Phaeton (White's
frigate), and rounded the Admiral as follows :—Phaeton,
Highflyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Vengeance, Albion,
Bellerophon, Dauntless, Arrogant.
In the afternoon the Admiral made signal for Phaeton
and Highflyer to try rate of sailing. It was blowing
fresh, and Phaeton carried away her maintopgallant yard,
and other little mishaps. The Admiral then annulled the
trial, but it was sufficiently evident Phaeton had the best
of it; however it was a great triumph for Highflyer.
19th—The Admiral employed the forenoon in exer-
cising the ships in different manoeuvres, forming orders
of sailing, lines of battle, retreat, &c.; after it was over
telegraphed " Highflyer very wall."
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Niger, screw steam-sloop,
Commander Heath, came into Portsmouth Harbour this
morning to be examined; she will probably be docked to
have her paddle-shaft examined.
Vimiers, for Port Philip with emigrants, and the
Marlborough, Indianian, sailed yesterday morning for
their destinations.

The Irish steam:packetFoyle embarked a portion o:

the 7th Royal Fusiliers this morning from the dockyard,
and left with them in the afternoon for Plymouth. She
will return on Thur,day for the remsinder of the same
regiment. It seems a very peculiar feature in the con-
ducting of the transport service of the State, that whilst
men-of-war steam-frigates aro lying ready for sea, but
listlessly inactive, in the roadstead and in harbour, that
the country should be put to the expense of hiring a
mercantile trading steamer to do the national work.
Does this matter lie with the Admiralty or the War-
office?
The Wasp. 14, Commander Pritchard (acting), sailed
from Spithead last night for Woolwich to refit, but whe-
ther before or after paying off is not known.
A survey is being held on the Harpy iron steam-ves-
sel to-day.
SHEERNESS, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty's ship Daphne,
18, Captain Fanshawe, had her powder taken out yes-
terday, and left at noon, in tow of the African steam-
tug vessel, for Chatham, where the will be dismantled
and paid off.
Her Majesty's screw steam frigates, Amphion, 34, and
Horatio, 22, and pAile-wheel steam -vessel, Cyclops, 6,
have taken on board as much coal as they can stow, so
that they msy be ready to proceed to sea, if required, at
the shortest possible notice.
EXPERIMENTS ON ANCHORS.

THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—rho third series of trials,
which were fixed to commence on Friday next, are post-
poned until the 20th inst.
We make this announcement to prevent disappoint-
ment to the numerous persons who have taken so much
interest in the results.
ERRATUM.—In tin analysis of the results of the
second series of experiments on anchors (a report of
which appeared in The Sun of Monday) Mitcheson
end Sons' anchor V:23 inadvertently stated to possess an
advantage of sixteen feet holding power over Lieutent.nt
Rodgers's Exhibition prize anchor, instead of -,s2c feet.
APPOINTMENT.

Woomvica, A tic, 10.—A,e,Israrit-Surgeon Henry C.

modore Sir Themes Herbert, K,C.B, Lords of the Ad-
miralty, visited Woolwich-dockyard to-day, and were
accompanied by Commodore - Superintendent Henry
Eden end Mr. LaW4', mater-shipwright, during a
lengthened inspection of the Ag,imemnon, 90, fitting
with engines of 600-horso power and screw propeller by
John Penn and Son.
The Tyne store and troop ship, Master-Commander
Peter Wellington, is still at Woolwich refitting for
further service, and has not left this port since she
returned with old stores from Rio and the Island of
Ascension.
The Widgeon steam-vessel went dovvn:the river a short
distance this afternoon to try her engines, and, when
completed, she is to be taken round to Pembroke to be
employed as a tug vasel at that port, instead of the
Prospero, now unfit for service.
The works connected with the enlargement of the en-
trance to the outer basin are now nearly completed, and
the caisson, after being lengthened 9 feet, or 4i feet on
each side, has been replaced in its former position, and a
new platform raised over it. When necessary, two large
volumes of water can be discharged at a considerable
height through it from the water in the basin, rhich has
the effect of deepeniug, the entrance considerably, and
the fall causes the current to carry off the mud deposits
to a distance from the wharf wall.
DEVONPORT, MONDAY.--L3dy Montague convict ship
sailed this afternoon with 290 male convicts for Van
Diemen's Land.
A Mr. Wilkinson has been here to-day and visited the
Belleisle, 72, Endyrnion, 44, and Andromache, 44, wilt
a view to their being purchased for the merchant ser-
vice. A party of gentlemen from Lloyd's have visited the
dockyard this afternoon.
TUESDAY.—Orders have been received at the dock,
yard at this port to disc:intiutie the sale of old rope. In
the trial of a party at the recent BAinin assiz-s, on the

casion to remark on the impropriety of the Government
disposing of articles of this description. The present
order is supposed to hays arisen oat of these obser-
vations.
CHATHAM, MONDAY.—The Daphne, 18, Captfiin Fan-
abawe, came to Chatham this afternoon to be paid off.
Sinbad naval lighter arrived on Saturday with stores
from Plymouth and Portsmouth.
