Yesterday the War Department transport Marl•
borough left the Ordnance Wharf, Chatham, with
the main deck guns for the Irresistible, 68, 400-
horse power, consisting of 24 32-pounders, each of
56 cwt. The Irresistible is being fitted for Coast-
guard service at Southampton Water, relieving the

dockyard gates that, by direction of the Admiralty,
the whole.of the hired workmen and mechanics be-
longing to the establishment will be discharged on
the 31st inst. and re-entered at the dockyard on the
following day. This regulation, it appears, has
been adopted by the Admiralty in order to prevent
any question hereafter arising with respect to a
claim for superannuation.
The Bombay, 67, 2,782 tons, 400-horse power,
has been commissioned at Chatham by Captain
Colin A. Campbell (25th of March, 1863). She is
to have a compliment of 655 officers and men, in-
cluding Royal Marines. The Bombay is intended
for a flagship on the south-east coast of America.
The following is the number of hired mechanics,
artisans, and labourers at Chatham dockyard for
whom provision has been made in the Estimates
for 1864-65 :—Shipwrights, 570; sawyers, 80 ;
joiners, 60; painters, 30; other trades, 1,584--
total, 2,254.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commander William Dawson,
to the Formidable, for service in the Achilles; Lieut.
W. H. M. Molyneux, to the Research ; Lieut. H.
A. Monteath, to the Defence ; James G. G. Sim-

TO THE LORDS OF THE COMMITTEE OF PRIVY COUNCIL

TOR TRADE,

My Lords,—l beg to report that I have held an official
inquiry, assisted by Captains Harris and Cow, into the cir-
cumstances attending the loss of the ship Desert Flower on
the morning of March 4, which took place on the Long
Bank, off the coast of Ireland, in the vicinity of Wexford.
The Desert Flower was a new ship, on her first voyage,
bound from Liverpool to Calcutta, laden entirely with coal.
She was built in St. John, N. 8., in the year 1863, registered
at Liverpool of the burthen of 1,216 tons, owned by Messrs
Ryland and Seddons, of that part, and was commanded by
Mr Wm. J. Harvey, who held a certificate of service, which
certificate was lost at the same time as the ship. The De-
sert Flower left Liverpool at noon on the 2d of this present
month, and was towed 45 miles SW and by W from Holy-
head, where she was cast off by the tug at 1 p.m. on the 3d
inst. Sail was made, and the ship proceeded down the Irish
Channel, steering SW by W i W. with a south-easterly
wind. At 7 p.m. the same day the Tuskar Light was made,
bearing about WSW, or half a point on the starboard or lee
bow, at a distance of two miles. The ship was then tacked,
and stood off the land, heading about NE till near midnight.
At this time she was wore round towards the land, and
headed SW and by VT W, or WSW, going about
three and a half knots an hour. At 1 a.m. the captain, for
the first time, ordered a cast of the lead to be taken, which,
after a little delay, in consequence of the lead-line fouling,
gave 11 or 14 fathoms. This was quickly followed by ano-
ther cast in 10 fathoms. The master then went down to
consult his chart, but, before doing so, desired one of the
crew to call all hands up about ship. Before the master
could return to the deck the ship struck heavily. Efforts
were made to back her off with the sails, which proved in-
effectual. Within 10 minutes five feet of water were found
in the well. The boats, all of which were stowed on board,
were got out safely, and most of the crew betook themselves
to them, leaving the master, chief and second mates,
steward, and two hands on board. The tide, which was at
that time flood, drifted the boats from the ship towards the

GENERAL GARIEALCI.-- General 6aribAldi, who
has left Caprera, it is supposed, for England, hae
intimated' his intention to visit Newcastle-on-Tyne, and
renew his acquaintance with the Tyneside people if he
comes to England. Ten years ago the General was in com-
mand of the merchant ship Concthonwealth, and came into
the Tyne to take in a cargo of coils for Genoa. At that
time, while avoiding a public demonstration, he was fami-
liar to the inhabitants of the seaports of the Tyne, and was
presented by the working men with a sword. -

THE SELF• STYLED MERDEREL—Thin morning Edward
Collins was brought to Bovi-street Police-court from the
St. Giles' Union, in order that the Magistrate might hear
the opinion of the medical officer of the establishment as to
the state of his mind.

Dr. Bennett said he had no doubt at all about the insanity
of the prisoner. He was quite an irresponsible agent, and
consequently; quite unable to take care of himself. Last
night be had a severe encounter with one of the wardsmen
of the Union, and it was with great difficulty that he was
prevented from doing serious mischief.
Mr. Hall asked if there were any reason to believe the
prisoner was at all concerned in the murder of which he had
accused himself.

The police-officer in charge of the prisoner replied in the
negtiye. He had made certain inquiries, which supported
film in that opinion;
Dr. tisnnett said there was no doubt about the than's
state of mind. Drink, no doubt, had been the•superiuduc-
ing cause.

Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, then asked the officer from
the Union for the necessary documents for the magistrate's
signature for ordering the removal of the man to the county
lunatic asylum, but they had not been made out by the
pariah authorities, upon the supposition that the magistrate
would at once order his admis4ion into the asylum as a
dangerous lunatic.
Mr. Hall said all had batter be done in proper order. The
papers could be made out and submitted for signature on
Saturday morning, and then the prisoner could at once be
removed. no matter wculd occupy but a very few
minutes.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with
beasts, and the demand for all breeds was in a very inactive
state, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations. The
top figure for Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. Sheep, the show
of which was rather limited, moved off heavily, and in
some instances prices had a drooping tendency• The best
Downs, in the wool, sold at Gs; out of the wool, 4s Sd to
4s 10d per 81bs. Lambs were in fair supply. In the early
part of the morning the lamb trade was firm, at from 7s to
Bs, but the demand closed heavily, at from Ga 8d to 7s 8d
per Sibs. We have to report a dull inquiry for calves, at
late rates, viz., from 44 4d to 5s 4d per Sibs. Pigs sup -
ported former currencies, but milch cows were very dull,

midst of a struggle, and appear to lose, and
another to tone down and modify the measures
which are introduced, and the plans proposed in
the conduct of affairs. The phiipsophical poli-
tician and the lover of independence seem destined
to have their feelings outraged, and their wishes
frustrated in some shape or another, but it
is encouraging if all does not go wrong
together, and if there appears a certain prospect of
Polish peace, and a good hope of some emendation
taking place in her policy, there will be a consola-
tion to the lookers-on for the disheartening aspect
of Danish affairs, It must appear, also, that what-
ever blame was attributable to Russia for the line
adopted by her Cabinet lest year, some of those
nations who criticised the course of the CZAR and
his followers are now themselves enacting a worse
part. Certainly Austria and Prussia have fallen
from their high estate since they contended for the
glory of leading Germany, and of renovating and
reorganising the Constitution of that Empire.
Already there are rumours afloat concerning dis-
turbances and disaffections, which are sure to accrue
when once the trumpet of war has sounded. Thus
the Austrian Government has been full of concern
regarding suspicious symptoms in Pesth. Doubt-
less as yet all this is trivial enough, but before long
affairs may assume a more portentous aspect. With
foreign wars and home disturbances, with liberal
nations scandalised at their want of consistency,
and their own people sent back a long way in the
progress of civilisation, it must be certified that the
Germanic Powers have retrograded considerably of
late. In perusing the accounts which are con-
tinually met with concerning the position of the
States of Eutope, and on hearing the comments
which perplexity puts forth and surprise gives
utterance to, it suggests itself forcibly and pain-
fully to the mind that a great and governing in-
fluence is unfelt, and a mighty power inactive
which once was exercised not in vain in the sacred
cause of freedom and the noble rights of indepen-
dence. Where is England's place now amid the
tumult and strife which reign triumphant ? and
why is our country no longer a guiding spirit in
he right direction, instead of wavering between
,wo opinions, and serving neither party.

The market continues to be very moderately supplied with

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN RE FRYER.

This bankrupt was described as a boot and shoe mane•
facturer at Norwich, and applied a few days since for his
order of discharge, and his honour now gave judgment on
that question. •
His Honour said that the bankruptcy involved debts and
liabilities to the extent of £5,500, incurred during a period
of two years and a half, with the probability of small (if any)
assets, and certainly no dividend. The debts to unsecured
creditors amount to £3,000, liabilities on bills received,
£1,100; and on accommodation bills, £1,400, The gross
profits had only been £2,818, and the bad debts .Cl,oo7—the
bad debts and exaenses exceeding the profits. The appli-
cation for discharge was opposed—first, that the bankrupt
had traded with fictitious capital; secondly, that he had
entered into rash and loszirdous speculations, and that he
had contracted debts within three months, without having
any reasonable prospect of being able to pay. He was batik •
rupt in 1860, owing £1,785, and paid a dividend of
ss. Ild. in the pound, and obtained a first class certificate,
which facilitated him on again entering into business on a
capital of £oo borrowed money; and it would be seen in
the sequel how he abused the confidence. For the first nine
c.,r ten months no fault could be found with the bankrupt's
trading, but in 1861 he obtained goods for consignment
abroad,:and on the whole he obtained advances, but met with
losses. His honour said that, without saying whether the
speculations in 1861 were rash and hazaidoas, he would
pass on to the course of dealing in 1862, when from May to
December he obtained goods to the amount of £3,945, upon
which he obtained advances to the extent of £2,505, and no
returns are expected from those speculations. The debts
contracted within three months of the bankruptcy amount
to £1,400. His Honour went through the details of the
different transactions, and was of opinion that all the
charges were made out, and concluded by saying that under
all the circumstances of the case, and considering the reck-
less and mischievous character of the bankrupt's com •
mercial delinquency, he felt bound to suspend the order of
discharge from taking effect for two years from the day of
hearing the application, and to sentence the bankrupt to be
imprisoned for six months from the day'of his arrest, and
that no protection be granted to the bankrupt until he shall
have undergone the sentence of imprisonment hereby
awarded.

BETTING AT MANCHES ER-WEDNESDAY.

There was a fair attendance at the Post•oflice Hotel this
day, and the betting, although not characterised by any
heavy outlay of money, was significant. For the Great
Northamptonshire Stakes Gardener remained firm, and 7
to 1 was scarcely obtainaclo against him at the break-up o
the rooms. Costa and Touch and trio were rather freely
supported ; and Dollar was backed to win £l,OOO, at 16 to 1.

100 to 3 was accepted about Blithfield to win £6OO, but,
subsequently, 50 to 1 was laid against him. Several horses
were invested on for .Earl Spencer's Plate, but the tran-
actions were not important.—The betting on Chester Cup
is of a remarkaUe character. During the afternoon 1,000
to 15 was laid against Golden Pledge, but finally 20 to 1
would have been taken about the facetiously-styled " lame
'un." Anfield found a backer at 20 to 1; and Oldminster
was in a little demand, at 25 to 1. Closing prices :
