THE NAVY.

" Letters just receir:. Ting
the gratifying intelligence that up to the 14th inst.
all was well.

" There is again a rumour in Bombay that the
directors of the Bombay have resolved to increase
the capital of the bank.

Mr. Reed's experimented ship Enterprise, in basin at
Woolwich, got up steam on Saturday for the trial of her
engines, by Messrs. Ravenbill and Co., of 160 horse power.
The trial was preliminary, the vessel proceeding to the
measured mile this morning or to-morrow. Every branch
of the machinery worked softly and without showing any
indications of heat or undue friction.

"According to the Times of India, the arrange-
ments for opening the Bombay, 8.-.roda, and Central
India Railway to Surat will be completed. by the
Ist of April.
"The steamer Carnatie, with the London mails
to the 26th of January, has arrived at Galle, in-
wards by which we have telegraphic news to that
date.

The Sultan's iron yacht, which has been lying at Wool-
wich during the past fortnight, sailed for Constantinnple ou
Friday last, having received a crew of various nations from
the Sailors Home in London. Mr. Comyn, an officer of
the Royal Naval Reserve, is in command of the yacht, and
Mr. Harms, an English engineer, is in chief charge of the
engines, and will probably remain in the permanent aorvico
of the Turkish Government.
The Irresistible, 67, 400 horse power, fitting for the
Coastguard service at Southampton, has been removed out
of the great basin into the Medway, and on Saturday
shipped her main deck guns, consisting of 24 32-pounders,
which were sent from Chatham by the War Department
transport Marlborough.
In accordance with the orders of the Admiralty, seven of
the improved gunboats, from the designs of Mr. Reed, are
to be immediately commenced at Chatham, Portsmouth,
Devonport, and Woolwich dockyards. They are to be called
steam launches, and aro to be completed with as much de-
spatch as the resources of the several dockyards will permit.
The Adventure, screw troopship, Capt. C. L. Waddilove,
remains at anchor at Spithead, the present orders being that
she is to remain there until about the 12th proximo. If no
fresh case of smallpox appears there among her crew she
will proceed to Dover, and embark there a battery of garri-
son artillery, and a detachment of the 2d battalion of the
20th Regiment. From Dover she will proceed to Plymouth
and there take on board the troops and naval supernumera-
ries conveyed to that port from Portsmouth in the Hima-
laya. She will then start on her China voyage. Statements
have been made in connection with this ship, regarding
the prevalence of small-pox at Portsmouth, which are ex-
aggerations. Small-pox is prevalent to a certain extent in
some of the most crowded portions of Portsmouth and its
suburbs, as it is just now in many other towns, but there is
no foundation for the statement that there are crowds of
people waiting at the doors of medical men for vaccination,
&e. The disease made its appearance on board the Adven-
ture, and as a simple matter of precaution her voyage to
China has been delayed, the cases having in the meantime
been removed to hospital, a number of her crew vaccinated,
and the ship thoroughly fumigated and cleansed.
The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Charles Wake, went out of
Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Saturday, and com-
menced taking on board her powder and shell, preparatory
to sailing on foreign service.
The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 5, Commander Gor-
don, from the eastward, arrived on Saturday in Plymouth
Sound, where she filled up with coal from the hulk Lavinia,
preparatory to the sailing for the West Coast of Africa.
The screw steam troopship Himalaya, from Portsmouth,
arrived on Friday at Plymouth, and landed at the Royal
William Victualling-yard the troops destined to proceed to
China in the Adventure. The seamen supernumeraries
which came from Portsmouth were transferred to the Royal
Adelaide, and on Saturday the Himalaya proceeded to
moorings outside Keyham Steam-yard, into which she will
be taken for the purpose of being docked and repaired.
The Royal George, 78, at Devonport, will be commissioned
on the Ist of April proximo by :he officers and crew of the
Ajax, 60.
In accordance with instructions to that effect received
from the Admiralty, every exertion is being used to com-
plete the Terrible, 22, 800-horse power, for the first divi-
sion of the Chatham Steam Reserve, as she will shortly be
required for commission. The Terrible is the largest of the
paddlewheel steamers in the British navy, and was built
under the superintendence of Mr. 0. W. Lang, late the
master-shipwright at Chatham dockyard. During the time
she has been in dock, a period of several months, she has
undergone such extensive repairs as to make her alMost a
aew vessel. She is intended for service in the Mediter-

Wo take following from the Overland Ghana

Mail of February 15 :.
" Oar dates from Shanghai arc to February 8,
and from Japan to February 6.
" The past fortnight has been. marked by no pro-
minent incidents, but the slow current of events is
not without significance. That portion of the pro-
vince of Kiangsn which is south of the Ye.ng.:tsze,
and which includes Nanking in the east and Shang-
hai in the west, is, over half its extent, again under
the sway of the Imperialists.
" From Pekin we have no news, the cold weather
having closed up the usual access to the capital.
" From Japan the news wears a decidedly pacific
aspect. Ambassadors are again on the point of
setting out for Europe, a fact which may of itself
be accepted as a guarantee against hostilities for
some time to come. The Prussian treaty has at

length been ratified, and the Swiss are said to have
obtained a treaty. The American Minister has
procured several important tariff reductions, and
the French Minister has availed himself of the same
privilege.
" In Shanghai settlement the prevalence of crime
is arousing the serious attention of those in autho-
rity, and we hear that arrangements are in progress
for the punishment of native criminals by foreign
authorities. This is an important measure, and it
is to be hoped that it may be successfully carried.

g, From the ports on the Yangtszs river we have
no news of importance.

" From Foochow we learn that the district man-
darin ia about to be degraded for his inefficiency in
quelling the recent anti-missionary riots.
"SHANGHAI, Feb. 8.

"Imports.—The pressure in the money market
last reported appeared to increase as the day of
settlement, China new year, approached, keeping
all Chinese dealers out of the market. The decline
in exchange has not led to any further speculative
purchases, and the few sales that have been effected
are principally forced ; but now that the holidays
are over a better demand and improved prices may
be looked for. The transactions in English manu-
factures have been exceedingly small, and prices
cannot be said to have varied from our last. Ameri-
can goods have not been in demand, but stocks are
considerably increased. In metals tinplated have
been inquired for at quotations, bat metals gene-
rally are dull; quotations unchanged. Nothing has
been done in rice ; but, as stocks are very email,
both an edvanco in price and an active demand may
soon be looked for. Sugar has participated in the
general dullness; the few sales made have been at
our quotations. Coals—Sydney has been in demand
(Y.hcr qualities generally inactive."

Two More Shocking Deaths from Excessive

Drinking,

On Saturday Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesioa
coroner, held an inquiry touching the death of James
Hooper, aged 47 years.
Henry Sayer, 5, Anchor-alley, St. George's•in-the-East,
said that the deceased was a mariner. On Wednesday week
he returned from Melbourne, Australia, in the ship Sussex.
Upon his arrival in the East India Docks the deceased re-
ceived .CIU. He spent the whole week walking about the
tercets from public•house to public-house drinking rum.
During the whole of that time he had not been sober for a
single hour. Oa last Tuesday night two men brought him
home to witness's house drunk. He had not even a half-
penny left out of the Ll.O. Deceased was what was called
a " quiet soaker"—he used to drink by himselt, and never
ask any one to join him. During the night ho kept calling
out, " Give me more rum ; I want more rum, more rum."
In the morning he suddenly pulled the clothes over his
bead, fell forward, and died. Witness had offered him
coffee, but he declined it.
Dr. Brookes deposed that the death of the deceased arose
from effusion on the brain, caused by excessive drinking.
The jury returned a verdict of death from effusion oh the
brain arising from excessive drinking.
The same coroner held a second inquest on the body of
Hugh Bordner, aged 45 years.
Deceased was a bootmaker, residing at 2, Spencer-road,
Hornsey New Town. On the 3d of March his wife died,
and since that time ho had sot been sober, On last Satur-
day evening he was fennel lying on the floor of his room
insensible, and his head covered with blood. Ho had fallen
from the top to the bottom of the staircase while drunk.
He was conveyed in a cab to the London Hospital, where
be expired on Wednesday last.
Mr. Hughes, surgeon, said that the deceased died from
delirium tremens brought on by excessive drinking.
Verdict, "Death from delirium tremens, brought on by
excessive drinking."

THE STEAM RAMS.—On Friday the corpmission.
to examine the Pasha of Egypt, in the case of the Attor-
ney-General v. Laird and Others, was despatched to Cairo.
Sir Laurence Palk has given notice of a motion in the
House of Commons, on the re-assembling of Parliament
on the subject.

A MARRIAGE WITHOUT A MINISTER.—At Glas-
gow, on Monday, says the North British Mail, a
long-betrothed couple intended being joined together in the
" holy bonds," but at the last hour found themselves em-
barrassed by the fact that the bridegroom had not resided
the legal period in this country. He had, ignorant of the
requirements of the Scotch law, left England last week, and
arrived at Glasgow, anticipating no difficulty in the way of
being at once married. The want of domicile qualification
appeared, however, an insurmountable barrier, and business
preventing a long stay in the country he seemed likely to
the perplexed re-
turn to England alone, a sadder and a wiser man. A
lawyer was applied to, as being the most likely person
to salve the eilemma arising from the law; and though, as
Shakspeare says, "marriage a matter of more worth
than to be dealt in by attorneyship,"
everything on the occasion.. The friends of the
bride-
groom found that the assistance of a shrewd lawyer was

strengthened by the interchange of rings. The narrative
of this ceremony was then served before witnesses, and the
parties and witnesses then proceeded to the County Build-
ings to wait upon Sir A. Alison. The sheriff at the time
was deeply engaged in the decision of a case of great imP or.
fence, but on Mr. -Wilson's explaining the peculiar circum-
stances of the occasion, and on seeing the bride, who was
gifted with a more than ordinary power of beauty, looking
all the more engaging from the natural timidity arising from
her
unusual position, he gallantly consented. The previous
contract of marriage having been formally attested by two
witnesses, Sir Archibald, by sign manual, certified the fact,
and that the registrar of the Blyswood district was entitled
to register them as married persons accordingly. The mar-
ried couple with their friends thereupon proceeded to the
office of Mr. Struthers, and having been duly registered,
shortly afterwards started for London.
