THE ADMIRALTY MAIL AGENT Or THE AMAZODU.—
Lieutenant Brady, who was mail agent on board the
Amazon, and who took the place of Lieutenant V. Til-
kinson on very short notice, as we stated on Monday,
was a lieutenant of 1815, and was very much respeete& in
and out of the service. The following is O'Byrc As's
sketch of his gallant career :---"William Hollinshied
Brady entered the navy Dec. 6, 1807, as first-class eo-
lunteer on board the Leonidas, 38, Captain ibir Jar ses

he was slightly wounded while serving in the be t its
at the capture and destruction—under a hot 6re

in face of a resistance from the various en ras
productive of a loss to the British of 15 men killed t I,lad
55 wounded—of the store-ship Lamporie, of 16 guns tc ad
116 men, with three other armed vessels and seven sail
of merchantmen. He continued to be very actively
jtn-
ployed in the Cumberland, under the command of C hap-
tame Thomas Baker, in the North Sea, and in escort ing
valuable convoys to the West Indies and the Capi t of
Good Hope, until paid off in August, 1815—a ft 'w
months previous to which period, on the 20th of Mai b,
he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Ile

ralty Agent in contract mail steam-vessels on the WIS 3t
India station.
Lieutenant Grylls, the other naval officer lost in 11 ie
Amazon, is son of the Rev. Mr. Giylls, of St. Neows.
What makes this case more distressing is, that lk Ir
Grylls wished his son to remain at home, because allot/i er

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—It blew a bard westerly gale
with very severe squalls last night; it still continues to
blow a gale from the westward. A small steamer, sup-
posed to be the Fearless, anchored'in St. Helen's Roads,
and the Victory had had the demand up all the morn-
ing, but the steamer's number cannot be made out.

The examination into the preserved meats at the
loyal Clarence-yard was resumed this morning, we be-
iieve with the same revolting results as already published
by us, but we can furnish no definite report upon the
subject, the Admiralty, ashamed of their responsibility
in the matter, having deprived the press of obtaining
authentic information. But the horse being now stolen
their Lordships lock their Aegean stable-door too late.
Some strong additions to the defences of this port
huvo just been ordered to be commenced and completed
with the least possible delay—a battery at the Knab
light, cif St. Helen's, commanding the approach to
Spithead from the eastward, to mount 100 guns of heavy
metal, and a fort at Lumps, on the Portsmouth shore,
also to mount 100 heavy guns. A new fort has been
commenced some time at Browndown, on the Gosport
side, where two companies of Royal Sappers and Miners
are at work, to complete their task in two months. The
battery at Lumps will be a temporary work. We are ,
also informed a barracks for artillery is ordered to be
erected at the Powder 'Magazines, Biddy's Hard, Gos-
port, and that the guards on the Gosport side have been
strengthened this week by posting an officer and an
additional number of men at, the Double-gate, near the

THE PRESENTATION OF THE REV. MR.
BENNETT TO THE LIVING OF FROZE,
SOMERSETSHIRE, BY THE MARCHIONESS
OF BATH.

Sin,—ln your recent comments on the presentation of
the living ot Frome, it is stated that " the living is in the
gift of the Marquis of Bath, who will be of age this
year. His mother, as his guardian, exercises thus a
few months before he has the power of doing so a
right adverse, it is said, to her son's views of the doc-
trines of Mr. Bennett."—( The Sun, Jan. 7, 1852.)
Perhaps, Sir, you will allow me to observe that, if the
circumstances above stated be facts, the appointment
made by the Marchioness of Bath as a guardian is not
correct, because, although the Marquis of Bath is a
minor, yet he is not only capable of presenting, but he
is the only party legally entitled to present to the living.
The text authorities and decisions on the subject clearly
show that an infant may present to a church, and this
must be done by himself, and cannot be done by his
guardian.—(Co. Litt. 17 b. 29 Edw. 111., c. 5,
.and 3
Inst. 156.)
Also, a guardian cannot present to a vacant living
in right ot the infant heir (" though it is sometimes prac-
tised," as the commentators observe), therefore the heir
shall present, of whatever age.—(l inst. 89 a., and
Shapland v. Ry oh, Cro. Jac. 98.) I may also observe,
that the law on this subject was, to the full extent of
Lord Coke's opinion, decisively settled by Lord Chan-
cellor King, in the case of " Hearle v. Green."—(3
Atkyns' Chancery Reports, p. 710.)
I am, Sir, &c.,
THE AUTHOR OF " THE STATUS OF
THE JEWS IN ENGLAND."

SARAH ANN HILLS.—The Home Secretary has
granted a respite of the execution of this unfortunate woman.
now under sentence of death in York Castle for the murder of
her illegitimate child, for a week. Mr. Milner, M.P. for
York, and Mr. Alderman Leeman, had an interview late yes-
terday afternoon at the Home-office, and the respite was
dispatched to York by a special messenger last night.
PROSFECTS OF THE ENGINEERING TBADE.--It has
been publicly announced that the operatives intend starclosingting
a shop of their own, in the event of the employers
their works ; and of course, if the men or their advisers have
discovered any improved method of conducting an engineer-
ing business, so as to make a greater profit thtua previous
capitalists have done, the public cannot but be benefited by
the competition. One thing, at all events, is c, that
there is no lack of concerns in the market for them to choose
from. Of these, there are six in Londonaacn,dtthheemvaicoinriitty
alone, besides others at Liverpool, Bristol, j y
of them old established concerns; which would absorb sums
varying from 10,0001. to 50,000/. each, to put them in work-
ing condition. The reason for this is a very
simple one—
fromLoLndoonn-
wages on the Clyde are about 25 per cent. lower than in
trade away
London, and there is no concealing the fact that the Scotch
engineers are gradually drawing the
Lon-
don, and the ultimate effect will be that the large
houses will have to open country establishments or give up
business altogether. 11Iessrs. Boulton and Watt 'have always-
had their works at Birmingham, and their office In London,
and Messrs. Miller and Itavenhill have recently opened a

shin-building establishment on the Tyne.
trade will thus' be confined to repairs, which can only be
done conveniently on the spot where they are required, and
the great bulk cf the workmen will have the option of
" three courses
__either to work in the country at country
only hope
wages, to change their trade, or to emigrate.
they may reflect before it is too late,—The Artizan.
We understand that the Marquis of Normanby,
the British Ambassador at Paris, has beenii ordered to leave
that capital for London—we suppose w
Lordship's being present at the Privy Council

Windsor to-day. Whether this has reference to the Minis-
terial arrangements now in progrelS re are amble to state.—
