The royal squadron passed through Spithead about
7,30 A.M., with the wind a little to then northward of
west, and on the starboard quarter, prenting a mag-
nificent sight to early risers.
The royal yacht had a foretopsail set, and passed
through at the rate of 12 knots, followed by the man-
of-war escort, under steam and a crowd of canvas—
courses, topsails, topgallantsails, royals, studdingsails.
oWf When
nheoff 13Ise of
rlading Harbour (which is the east end
Wight) a signal was thrown
out from the royal yacht, " Catch me who
can ;" for there was an immediate struggle for posi-
tion, and a regular race ensued. The Magicienne was
soon alongside the Odin, and these steam-frigates
were neck-and-neck for upwards of two miles, when
the Odin shook her off, and again stood number one.
Baroouta now thought it quite time to shake off her
lethargy, for (like magic) she passed the Magicienne
and Odin in succession, and at 8.30 was nearly hull
down, about a mile astern of the royal yacht.
We saw the last of the squadron at 9 30, thirteen
miles to the eastward of the Nab light-vessel, and
their position was as follows :—Vivid, Victoria and
Albert, Black Eagle, Fairy, Barracouta, Odin, Magi-
cienne, Sampson, and Retribution.
As the rovtd yacht passed Spithead the Blenheim,
60, Captain Gardner, and the Tiger, 20, Captain Gif-

At Portsmouth it was supposed that the royal
squadron would sail at daylight, and in consequence
the Royal Artillery were on the qui vive at that
time and at their guns, but it was not till about
seven that the salute was fired from the Garrison
Battery:

The interesting spectacle of the royal yacht pass-
ing to the eastward was a most pleasing and beautiful
sight, and a number of the inhabitants and visitors
to Portsmouth were up and on the seward lines of
the town, End enjoyed it.
Around the coast a sharp look-out was kept for
the royal squadron from Saturday morning.
The Duke of Wellington arrived at Dover on Sa-
turday, and proceeded to Walmer, leaving instruc-
tions that a messenger should be dispatched to Wal-
mer Castle as soon as the royal ships hove in sight.
DOVER, AUG. 10.—This afternoon, at half-past
four o'clock, the royal squadron hove in sight to the
westward of Dover, and their approach was imme-
diately announced by royal salutes fired in succession
from the Drop Redoubt, at the Heights, and the gun
battery below the Castle keep. Her Majesty's mail
packet Vivid, of the Dover station, took the lead, the
royal Victoria and Albert yacht being second, fol-
lowed by her tender, the Fairy; and another of the
squadron, the Black Eagle steamer, bringing up the
rear. The weather was delightfully fine (although
much rain had fallen during the day), with compara
tively calm sea and favourable wind. The royal fleet
steamed past at a rapid rate, and after clearing this
port about two miles, hauled in for the Downs. A
number of ladies were observed from the shore on the
deck of the royal yacht, which probably included her
Majesty the Queen; but this, in consequence of the
distance, we could not say positively. Great demonstra-
tions of colours were made by the naval and military
authorities, the royal standards being hoisted, and
numerous elevated points of the town decorated with
flags, during the passing of the squadron; meanwhile
dense crowds thronged the heights, parade, &c., to
obtain a view of the royal squadron, which remained
in sight of our town for nearly half an hour.
The Royal squadron left the Downs at 4 o'clock
this morning, on its course to Antwerp.

six frigates and several steamers. The presence of,so

EXPERIMENTAL TRIP TO PARIS.
TO THE EDITon OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—As the paragraph in your paper of to-day, with
the above heading. contains soma information which is
likely to mislead the, pul:lic, end injure the Newhaven
and Dieppe routs, I trust you will do me the justice to
insert the following:—" The new steamer Paris, built
this year expressly for the above line, crossed from
Newhaven to Dieppe, on Saturday lest, with 100 ;xis-
sengers, a large quantity of luggage, and three horsos,
in ten minutes less time than the steam-yacht Wave Queen,
with only about a dozen ladies and gentlemen, both ves-
sels starting nearly together; the result proving that the
Paris was the better boat for the trade, and having re-
peatedly made the passage in five hours." You will
perceive that the present arrangements. on this route,
are tar from being " defective."—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant, HENRY P. MAPLES,
5, Arthur-street East, Aug. 9, 1852.

F. Slight, Esq., Secretary of the Loudon, Brighton, and

south Coast -Railway Company.
Sir,—The paragraph wi.ich anneared in the Thus of
yesterday is evidently written under a miFsapprehonsion
of the tots, and is cilcu!ated to do some injury both io
ropelf and to your company, as it will leave an impres-
sion that your directors are nissatiiied with the manner
in which the steam service between Newhaven and
Dieppe is at present performed, and that consequently
your chairman was present at the trial of the Wave
Queen, with a view to substituting; better boats.
As it is stated .that the speed and genera! results of the
trial of the Wave Qieen were satisfactory to your com-
pany, and as my vessel, the Paris, which left Newhaven
on Saturday twenty-five minutes after the Wave Queen,
and was the first to land her passengers, having made
the pa sage in ten minutes less time, I am justified in
supposing that the servic', as at present performed. has
been far from unsatisfactory to your directors.—Yours
obediently, • HENRY P. MAPLES.

London Terminus, Aug. 10, 1852.
sir,—ln reply to your letter of this date with refer-
ence to the experimental trip with the Wave Queen, I am
desired to say that the service between Newhaven and
Dieppe has been performed by your steamer, the Paris,
satisfactorily to the directors of this company, the pas-
sage having been made on the averege in less than five
hours and a-half. I am to add that the chairman of this
company was present at the trial of the Wave Queen, in
order to witness an experiment with a vessel of a novel
construction, and not because this company is dissatisfied
with the manner in which the present service is per-
formed.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

Messrs. Allsopp and Sons are informed that some of
their respected competitors conceive that they have made
too exclusive use of Baron Liebig's letter to Mr. All-
sopp; and they, therefore, feel themselves called upon to
republish the letter, in order that the public may form a
correct judgment of the intention of that eminent autho-
rity, which was, unquestionably, to induce general con-
fidence in the genuine nature of the productions of all the
leading Brewing Establishments of this country, as well
as to convey a personally-favourable opinion of the ale
brewed by Messrs. Allsopp and Sons:—
BARON MEMO TO HENRY ALLSOPP, ESQ., BURTON-ON-.

TRENT.

The unguarded remark of a French chemist, that the
strychnine imported in England is emplovedinps lately
sia
substitute for hops in the manufacture of beer, ha
spread alarm among the lovers of pale ale. Having been
y
appealed to by you to express my opinion on this sub-
ject, which appears to me to be,in a dietetic point of view,
one of considerable public interest, I now offer the fol-
lowing brief statement:—
About a quarter of a century ago a brewer in West-
phalia fell into the practice of adulterating his beer with
nrtx vomica, from which it is well known that strychnine
is obtained. The peculiar morbid symptoms, however,
which resulted from the consumption of this adulte-
rated beer, speedily led to the detection of the fraud.
The effects produced by nux vomica and strychnine are
so characteristic, that every medical man will readily
detect their origin. The French novelist, Alexander
Dumas, has described them, though with more imagi-
nation than truth, in his romance of " Monte Christo."
It is possible that the Westphalian case, which, from
being made the subject of a criminal trial, obtained
great notoriety, has given rise to the assumption that in
England the strychnine imported is used for the purpose
of mixing with beer. But nobody at all acquainted
with the great breweries of that country could seriously
entertain the suspicion of an adulteration of beer with
strychnine or any other deleterious substance. It is
practically impossible that any operation of a doubtful
character could be carried out in these extensive esta-
blishments, on account of the large number of workmen
employed in them. Any attempt on the part of the
brewer to impart qualities to his beer in an illicit man-
ner, which are not to be obtained from malt or hops,
would necessarily lead to his ruin, as he would be obliged
to communicate his secret to too many persons, and to
employ too many accomplices. The draymen them-
selves, as good connoisseurs in beer, would protest
against any manipulation of a suspicious character. The
case has even occurred of an eminent brewer not ven-
turing to make use of a method suggested to him for the
purpose of clearing his beer more effectually, because
the addition of a new material to the wort might have
induced a suspicion in the minds of his workmen thet it
was au illicit proceeding, and this would have endan-
gered the good reputation which his beer enjoyed. He
stated to me at the same time that no improvement could
be introduced into a brewery, the object of which was
not perfectly evident to every body.
Daring a sojourn of several days at Burton- on• Trent,
I had an opportunity of becoming intimately sequz,inted
with the method pursued in the manufacture of pale ale.
I convinced myself that the qualities of this excellent
beverage depended mainly upon the care used in the se-
lection of the best kinds of reals and hops, and upon the
ingenuity exhibited in conducting the processes of
mashing and fermenting. Our continental brewers have
much to learn in these points to come up to the English
brewers. I have no hesitation in saying that England
possesses the greatest adepts in malting. I know posi-
tively that the chief brewers of Munich, who undoubtedly
produce the best beer is Germany, have gone through
an apprenticeship in Burton. This may account for the
predilection entertained by the general public, as well as
by medical men, for these varieties of beer; for the in-
stinct of humanity and experience appear to be as good
guides in the choice of things that contribute to health
and enjoyment as the profoundest philosophy.t

Professor Graham Graham and Hofmannn, ti

tion of the pale ale by strychnine,

strychnine contained in beer. I have satisfied myself of

that the poisoning of pale ale wh se
add that it never will
occurred. I believe I may safely
take place; for although an ignorant brewer might be
induced, from interested motives, to add nux vomica to
his beer, the word strychnine so forcibly suggests one of
the most virulent poisons, that whoever has heard any-
thing about strychnine at all is sure to be aware of this.
By adulterating his beer with strychnine, the brewer
would be knowingly committing a crime which, in the
present state of science, must be followed by immediate
detection and punishment.
Mr. E. Merck, of Darmstadt, ono of the most exten-
sive strychnine manufacturers in Europe, informs me
that this substance is peculiarly adapted to destroy ver-
min of all kinds. In many parts of Germany it is the
popular poison for rats and mice. This fact fully ac-
counts for the large amount of the drug that has lately
been introduced into commerce.
The specimens of your pale ale sent to me have af-
forded me another opportunity of confirming its valuable
qualities. lam myself an admirer of this beverage, and
my own experience enables me to recommendne it,
Englishi n ac-
cordance with the opinion of the mostem in
physicians, as a very agreeable and efficient tonic, and
as a general beverage both for the invalid and the robust.

THE RUMOURED DEATH OF THE EARL OF TAN-
KERVILLE.—A correspondent says—" An announcement
of the demise of this venerable Peer having appeared in the
Gateshead Observer of Saturday last, inquiries 'were made
at his Lordship's residence, in Rertford-street, May-fair,
when it was ascertained that the statement was premature,
his Lordship being in the enjoyment of perfect health. The
Earl Was born is 1776, and consequently is in his 76th year.

„PERIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
lIERALD.—Mr. Webster has spoken at Marsh-
field. lie is answerable for much needless and dan-
gerous el;ci,-.ement, when he tells a popular audience
to rest assured that the matter of the fisheries along
her lelejesty's coasts in her North American coloniesl
”is a subject on which no one slept at Washington.'
We cannot say as much for the wakefulness of our
British administrators for many years past. Mr.
Webster will surprise Europe by the precipitate
course 'ne pursues on this occasion. We had ex-
pected better things from one who is not only a most
eloquent speaker, but who has no small claims to take
his place among the foremost of living statesmen.
He is one of those whom'Dante describes with all the
inspiration of his severe and stately muse :
" Con occhi tardi a gravi,
Di gran autorha al for ambianti."
And yet most assured he will soon discover, that, in
the ground he has so rashly seized, he has nether facts,
it';7, nor reason, on which to stand. What does he say
of the E,.7g,ih Go‘ ernmeni? That they have violated a
treety.2s 0! end he cannot say Toe moat clear and
intiisputaLde, and let us add, undispizted provisions of the
lss; trtats-, the treaty on wh,:.lki this whole ques-
tion dip.l.,ds, not only sanction what they do, but
would justify much more than they intend or wish to
effect. Doss he allege that, withou,' violating the
provisions of the convention of the 20th of October,
1818, her Majesty's present Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs has strained any d,greo their im-
port? Not even this is advanced. Is the coA plaint
that those provisions have been put in force wialout
necessity, and with harshness ? Something liko this
is hinted. We shall soon see with what truth ; And,
brief as shall be our remarks, we can promise to diosi-
pate a whole cloud of misrepresentations. But, firs!,
let us say one word respecting the most vehement of
Mr. Webster's accusations. He protests against the
English Government because they have now put
upon the treaty in question an interpretation differ-
ent from that which Lord Aberdeen adopted in
1845. This is at variance with all the facts of the
case. Lord Aberdeen interpreted the treaty pre-
cisely as it is now interpreted by her Majesty's
Government; and, what is more, Mr. Everett and
the American Government, as we can show, then
accepted this same, and still, in all respects, un-
changed interpretation. On the 20th of October,
1818, the two Governments agreed, and signed the
treaty, that all along her Majesty's open coasts in
America the Americans should be allowed to take
fish at a distance from the land not less than three
marine miles. Within that distance, even on the
open coasts, the possessors of the settlement had pro-
prietorship of territory and jurisdiction, by law, by
international right generally, and by virtue of this
treaty expressly. Then came the question of the
" bays, harbours, creeks, and inlets." From these
(with the exception of some distinctly and categori-
cally named, from Cape Ray to the hameau Islands,
and from Cape Ray to Quirpon Islands, and even
these under certain restrictions), the American
fishermen were clearly prohibited by the convention.
Stress of weather and other extraneous exigencies were
allowed as excuse for intrusion. This being so, then
arose the question of the Bay of Fundy. The Ame-
ricans represented that, though a bay, it was so
extensive that it partook of the character of the high
sea, and claimed liberty to fish there, within the
usual and admitted limit of three marine miles from
the coast on either hand. Lord Aberdeen, in 1844,
conceded the requested advantage in a friendly spirit
—not as a right, but as a permission. We may here
remark that the demand for this permission, as well.
as the grant of it, guarded bya reference to, and
reservation of, the law and right to withhold and to
withdraw it, wholly overthrow
as hia
indeed
the
d the argument of a
supposed " right by prescription"
suffered possession of
ad-
mitted force of the treaty; for if, there then
existed a "prescriptive" and
thirty years' standing (as stated by Mr. Webster),
why accept it as a concession, why not protest
against it as a favour ? But it is urged that it was
harsh suddenly to withdraw this leave. It is
not withdrawn. The American fishermen can
still pursue, and have not for one instant
been checked in pursuing, their avocations
in the British waters of the Bay of Fundy.
What of this American smack that has been seized ?
It was seized in that part of the Bay of Fundy where
the Americans were never allowed to fish at all—.
namely, within musket shot of the British coast.
Much has been said of the duty incumbent on her
Majesty's Secretary for Foreign Affairs to have given
notice of the measures he was about to adopt. N otice
of what measures? Here is the mistake. Notice,
indeed, was given. Yet is there no change of policy
whatever, of which a notice might be necessary.
There is merely a change from the supposed protec-
tion and maintenance of the undoubted rights of our
poor fishermen, to the actual protection and mainte-
nance of those rights. There is no change except
from culpable inaction to the performance of an
avowed and bounden duty. Is it rAcessary tor a new
Government to give notice that it intends to respect
treaties, to enforce all clear rights, and to discharge
its most sacred obligations ? Nevertheless, notice west
given to the United States Government in June last
that, for the purpose of securing to cur fishermen
what remained to them of their indisputable
rights, after Lord Aberdeen's concessions, an
additional naval force (the former one
being inadequate), would be stationed in
those seas. Were the squadron twenty times
as numerous, the American fishermen will not
Le prevented, even in the Bay of Fundy, from filling
their nets, provided they do so within three miles'
distance from the coast, and not under the very sha-
dow of our countrymen's homes. For such a mere
measure of police no notice was needful, though a
notice was actually given. When the French in-
crease their naval force in the British Channel for the
protection of their fishermen, they neither give a no-
tice to us, nor are we so foolishly Jealous as to expect
it. Every state disposes as it pleases of its navy, and
moves it from station to station in full freedom,
without notice to other Governments. No new duty
whatever is to be performed by our ships on the
shores of our British American colonies. An old ser-
vice is to be discharged more efficiently than the force
already there was able to accomplish. At the same
time it is to be observed that our fleet, though in-
creased, is not greater than that which the French
maintain on their own fisheries ; nor is it unworthy
of notice that the French, against whom, or rather,
towards whom
we have adopted the self same mea-
sures, have evinced no such susceptibility as that
which Mr. Webster is endeavouring to excite among
our kinsmen of the United States. We must, in con-
cluding, say a word on the subject of the necessity
of these measures, and of the conditions of the
fishery, as they
affect the two nations. The English
fish in the Bay of
Fundy by right. The Americans
take fish there by courtesy, and in virtue of a
permission granted to a friendly state. Since thesei

OPERATIONS IN BURMAH.
No. 27.
Fox, m Rangoon, May 11, 1852.
Sir,—I have the honour to request you may be
pleased to inform the Lords of the Admiralty that, on
the 2d instant, I dispatched the Honourable East India
Company's steamer Phlegethon, commanded by Mr. G.
T. Niblett, and the barge of her Majesty's ship Fox, in
charge of Acting Lieutenant John R. Lawrence, to the
great entrance of the Irrawaddy, to.try and effect a pas-
sage through the Panlang branch.
2. On the morning of the 11th the barge returned;
and Mr. Lawrence reported that they had advanced as
far as Yangernsiah, where the water shoaled so consider-
ably that the Phlegethon could not cross into the Pan-
Iraeg branch; the barge, however, was enabled to do so,
and proceeded down into the Rangoon river, is order
that I might be acquainted with tha result, and the cause
of the steamer's long absence.
JSi is with much satisfaction I learn that the object of
the expedition has been accomplished.
3. I have further to request you may be please] to in-
form their Lordships that. on the Phlegethon and the
Fox's barge arriving off Yangernsiah, they discovered
the Goveen or at Dalla, retreating with eight armed
boats; ellaaee was immediately given, and on coming up
with these the enemy ran on shore, leaving their boats,
in one of which was the Governor's wife, with her atten-
dants; they also abandoned a, quantity of treasure, and
most of their acme.
Pee treasure captured amounted to eleven thousand
rupees; the arms, which consisted of muskets and swords,
Were destroyed; and the boats, with dile women, were

Her Majesty's Ship Fox's Boat,
Bassein, 21st May, 1852.
Sir,—Referring to my dispatch, No. 28. of yesterday's
date, I request you will inform their Lordships that
after we had obtained possession of Bassein, I sent the
Pluto a short distance up the river to endeavour to inter-
cept the retreating army. She returned this morning,
and COlll. Burbank acquaints me that he proceeded up
the river above Bassein. about forty miles, that he com-
municated with the village of Mammoon, from which
the inhabitants came off, and who informed him that one
of the party then on board was a person in high com-
mand at Bassein during the attack, that he then arrested
this person, and he has delivered him over to me, to-
gether with another officer of high rank.
Commander Burbank having been informed that a
party of the retreating force, in two boats, bad that night
left the village, he proceeded in chase, and succeeded in
capturing one of the boats, in which he found a quant4Y
of arms and ammunition, which he destroyed; the troops
landed, and fled into the jungle.
The Pluto afterwards fell in with another portion. of
the defeated Burmese, encamped, but who fl id on being

CAPTURE OF THE CIIY OF BASSEIN.
No. 28.
Her Majesty's Ship Fox's Boal,
at Bassein, May 20, 1852.
Sin—l request you may be pleased to inform the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that the Lieute-
nanteeeneral commanding the forces in Barmah, having
communicated hie wish to make an attack on the city
of Bassein, I placed a squadron of four, steamers at his
dienosal for the service.
ge On the morning of the 17th instant, Lieutenant-
General Godwin, C. 8., the Commander of the Forces,
embarked in a squadron with four hundred of her Ma-
jesty's 51st Regiment, three hundred of the 9th Regiment
Madras Native Infantry, sixty Sappers and Miners,fit 'le
Royal Marines, and a detachment of seamen, with afield
gun from her Mat;esty's ship Fox.
3. I left the naval force at Rangoon in charge of Com-
mander Tarlen, n, with the Fox, and went with my bost
to the Tenasseeitn, in which steamer I hoisted my
broad
pendant, and put to sea at two o'clock in the afternoonA-

oinhd us. I had sent
Riveroehere the Pluto
j reviously, as her smallher on
from Rangoon a day p power
could not have enabled her to keep up with the steam
frig ages.
5..., At daylight on the 19th the squadron weighed,
and proceeded up the river; the Pluto, from her light
drrsught, being ahead, showing the soundings. The
eaeasserim led, followed by the Sesostris and Mczuffer
; half a cable's length distant.
6. At a few minutes after four o'clock in the after-
noon, the fortificrions of Bassein appeared in sight,
ceosisting of a very extensive mud fort and a long line
of stockade, on the left bank, on which the city stands,
and a strong stockade round the Pagoda, with a brick
parapet fronting the river. Then, in an admirable posi-
tion on the right bank, stood a very large stockade,
mounting several cannon.
The enemy permitted the squadron to approach un-
molested.
7- At half-past four, when abreast the stockades, I
made the signal to anchor; immediately afterwards
Lieutenant-General Godwin expressed his wish to land
the troops, which was effected in perfect order in a very
short period. They had scarcely formed under the
Liemenant-General's directions, when a heavy fire was
Opened both with cannon and musketry from the mi.-
Ole stockades, which was instantly answered by a cheer
from the pray landed, who stormed and carried the
Pagoda.
As soon as the enemy commenced firing, the ships
opened their fire on the different batteries.
Obaervieg the stockade opposite the town had been
sileneetl, I directed Commander Campbell, of the Sesos-
tris, to land with the boats of his own ship, and the 2,/o-
-atelier's and to storm it, which he effected in gallant
Style, driving the Burmese from their guns, with consi-
derable loss to them in killed and wounded.
Commander Campbell has called my special attenti in to
the zeal and activity displayed on this occasion by Lieu-
anal:its Robinson and Lewis, of the Indian Navy.
At half-past five I had the satisfaction of hearing
that the last and moat formidable of the stockades had
been crarried ; but not without considerable loss on our
part from the great resistance shown by the enemy.
Amemgst those I have to enumerate as sufferers on this
occrasion, I hay to name Lieutenant George W.
PO en, of her Majests 's ship Fox, who received a
u,..,Tore and painful wound through the right hand,
whilst gallantly loading his party of seamen into the
stockade: and as this officer has been specially named by
the Commander-ia- Chief at the taking of Rangoon, I
beg to recommend him most strongly to their Lordships'
co.aideratioa for promotion.
lisfeel it my duty, also, to mention the steady conduct
of 6e Beyel Marines under the command of First Lieu-
tenant Jonn Elliott; and I cannot conclude without ex-.
nresdieg my best thanks to Commanders Campbell and
Hewett, of the Indian Navy, for the skill and ability with
which they brought their ships up a river, which has
hitherto been but imperfectly surveyed for a distance of
more than sixty miles. Nor can I refrain from ex-
pressing how much I am indebted to Commanders Dicey
and Burbank, of the Bengal Marine, for the assistance I
received from them; and I attribute our being able to
perform this service without accident, to the careful and
tudicione manner with which the commander of the
Pinto went in advance and communicated the soundings.
My thanks are general to/the officers and men who
served under my orders on this occasion for the steady,
gallant, and cheerful conduct with which they performed
the duty, neither can I omit remarking that the most
perfect unanimity prevailed between the two services.
8. Since my last visit to Negrais,ae the old Governor
of Boreein has been removed,
en-
trusted to another officer, who d the Government
arrived here from Ave,
with four thousand regelar troops, which increased the
strength of the garrison to six thousand men.
9, I have the honour to forward herewith a list of
killed and wounded in the squadron. • The casualties
among the troops amounted
to tih ee en killed and five
officers:. and seventeen men eM
wounded:
I also enclose a return of the number of cannon
captured from the enemy.
10. And I beg permission to brine, to their Lord-
ships' notice, Mr. Frederick at
teAnsieisdtan witht-Stuhre-
geon of her Majesty's ship Fax, We,
well as his unremitting attenttlenEteoxthine

Fox, at Rangoon, May 24, 1852.
Sir,—In continuance of my letter, No. 27, I have the
honour to request you will inform their Lordships that
the Phlegethon returned here to-day, having made a
most successful expedition in conjunction with the barge
of this ship, in charge of Acting Lieutenant Lawrence,
which I had dispatched to join him on the 11th instant.
While Commodore Niblett was waiting for sufficient
water to get into Rangoon River, I directed him to re-
connoitre Donabew; he accordingly proceeded to that
place, and found that the Governor of Dallah had fled,
and that this once famous stronghold was unoccupied
and defenceless. The inhabitants seemed desirous of
affording every assistance, and informed him that a con-
siderable force was collected further up the riv-2r, to which
spot be also proceeded; and, at about 10 miles above
Donabew, near the tower of Sagadjee, he fell in with
them.
The Phlegethon opened fire upon this force, consisting
of about 5,000 men, which retreated and fell back upon
Sarawak, a town 30 miles higher up the river. He af-
terwards ascertained that a portion of them crossed over
to EU,- wseda, at the junction of the Bassein river.
Commander Niblett informs me that, wherever the
Phlegethon made her appearance, he was received by
the natives with every demonstration of friendship; and
an anxiety for him to remain and afford them protection
from the marauders and Burmese troops —I have, &c.

The preparations for the fete of the 15th are ac-
tively progressing in Paris. The spiral has nearly
wound its whole length round the column of the
Place Vend6me, from the base to the summit, and the
skeleton fabric which is to figure forth the great St.
Bernard already rises over the Pont de la Concorde.
The pedtstal, with eagles and statues, and its bas-
relief, already covers the rond-point midway from the
Champs ElystSes to the triumphal arch. The character
of these ornaments, even in their present incomplete
form, is emin% ntly Imperial. The tradesmen of the
Presidential household are not backward in im-

parting the same tone to the decorations they affix
over their doors and shop windows. One in parti-
cular is eviiently anxious for the time when the
needle shall be plied for an Imperial cus-
tomer. At the great tailoring establish•
ment on the Italian Boulevards, at the
corner of the rue Lepelletier, may even now be
Seen the Imperial arms in plaster of Paris ; the eagle
issuing from the centre, and grasping in his claw the
star of the Legion of Honour ; and the shield, en-
circled by the collar of the Order, reposes on the Im-
perial mantle, thickly studded with bees ; the whole
surtnounded by an Imperial crown.

The registration dues for the transtnis-ion of his inheri-

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
inst , received at this office at the above hour, we learn
that those active and vigilant officers, Messrs. Morten
and Dadsou, of Tunbridge Welle, have, after consider-
able difficulty, succeeded in capturing John Broome,
who, it will be remembered, absconded from his bail at
our assist'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 gavo chase. his
efforts were, however, unsuccessful ; but steps having
teen 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 Commissml of Police in Belgium, with whom he
had placed himself in communication. he proceeded to Lon-
don on Thursday last, whence having procured a letter
of introduction to her Majesty's Belgian Consul, and
fortified with a judge's warrant, he 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 went 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 as interview with the
British Consul yesterday. Messrs. Morten and D4da,,n
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 previouq, 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 I
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
farhily, 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 working
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 58. for his (the prisoner's) use.
The money was then given to the wife, who ap-
peared 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 be 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 bad also ascertained
mat the prisoner was an idle, drunken, profligate
character, and able to earn 2/. per week, but when
he did so he never brought home more than about
12k. per week to his wife, who, at the time she ap-
plied for relief; he (Mr. enauaberlain) thought was
partially intoxicated, and who, he had since ascer-
rained, 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
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 61., fromH"
~
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 bad 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 se. from "Type," an acknowledgment
was requested in the papers.

EA IDENCe•
On the inquest at Six-mile-bridge, one of the w
ecit-
n,sses, John German, displayed a fair sample of the -
centricity and shrewdness so frequently displayed by
Hibernians, when on the table of Teenis. The foow-
ing is the report of his cross-ezamination :
Cross-examined by Mr. Gray —hold hold under Sir
Lucius O'Brien—long life to his honour—and I have
my receipts in my pocket—that's the chat—(Laughter)
—I couldn't tell how many people were in the lane, but,
Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue,. sir.
Witness—Sure 'ds you that's making me speak.
Mr. Graydon—Tell me, sir, how many people were
there P—No answer.
Mr. Graydon—Come, sir, answer the question.
Witness—l don't know how to answer )our honour,
for fear of disobliging you.—(Laughter.) The people
in the garden were all standing up like tools, and God
knows I was the chief fool amongst them, for the cross
women I have desired me to stay in bed that morning.
and it I did I would not see this.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—ls your wife a young woman P Wit.
hess—Sbe 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 be there
at ail 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-
13C8S-Arrah, man, how could I notice them when I was
not on the wall while 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
g, t 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
Fright,ned.
To the Coroner—There was not an " item" to pre-
vent two children passing through the lane; and as

Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness---I wish to God you'd tell me to hold my
tongue entirely.—(Laughter.)
To Mr. Graydon--I saw no stones thrown in the lane
that day, and didn't see any soldiers struck. I did not
sf-e any of the voters at all, for they were at the back.
The way I'd be on the safe aide,
I should say there were
from eight to twelve shots in the lane, and three or lour
afterwards.
Mr. Graydon—Andy ou have said that everything was
(Iwo,. befere this time-? Witness—As quiet as a lamb.
Mr. Graydon—You swear that? Witness—God help
us, what pride you `sties a high-bred man, in teasing a
poor " spalpee,n” like me, and you not knowing whether
la,. ate his breakfast or not.—(LAughter.) The People
were dead at any rate, and got reason.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE
Commodore Lampert, who has heel, second in com-
mand in the Rest Indies, with u blue broad pendant in
the Fox, 42, and has coni?ucted all the naval operadotis
at Rengoon, has been appointed a fiist class commodore,
and
which, wieh his red peed nut, will give him the' p y
a
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 Admiralty.
The commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Austen, C. 8.,
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-
sloop, Commander Shadwell, 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 Dundas, C. 13., 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 steam et the factory, 'Woolwich.
Lieut. Arthur Tower (1842). of the Britannia, 120,
flag-ship in the Mediterranean, has been selected by the
Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, Vice-Admiral the
Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., as his flag lieutenant, vice
Lambert.
Lieutenants—J. A. H. Boyd (1845), to the Victory
flag-ship, Portsmouth; George D. Murry (1847), to the
Inflexible steam-sloop, Portsmouth.
Mate—J. G. C. Evers d, to the Queen, 116, Devonport.
Assistant-Surgeons—John Murphy, to the Jamaica
Hospital; Dr. H. C. Wilsen, to the Highflyer screw-
frigate; Charles H. Chambers, acting of the Niger
screw-sloop, confirms d.
Midshipmen—Henry Batten, to the Impregnable flag
ship, Devonport; James 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 sailmsker at
Portsmouth. George Room, at Deptford, to bo foreman
of sailmakers at Sheerness.
OFF MALAGA, JULY 17.—The squadron, fourteen in
number, with Admiral Dundas; it blowiug 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 four minutes
before Vengeance, which was half a minute before
Highflyer. In beating up to windward the latter soon
stepped to windward of all except Phaeton (White's
frigate), and rounded the Admiral as follows;—Potteton,
Highflyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Vengeance, Albion,
Bellerophon, Dauntless, Arrogant.
In the a+ternoon the Admiral made signal for Phaeton
and Highflyer to try rate of sailing. It was blowing
fresh, and Phaeton carried away her maintop salient yard,
and other little mishaps. The Admiral then annulled the
trial, but it was sufficien:ly evident Phaeton had the best
of it; however it was a great triumph for Highflyer.
19 h—The Admiral employed the forenoon in exer-
cising the ships in different manceuvres, forming orders
of sailing, lines of battle, retreat, &c.; after it was over
telegraphed Highflyer very well."
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.
Vimiera, for Port Philip with emigrants, and the
Marlborough, Indiaman, sailed yesterday morning for
their destinations.
The Irish steam• packet Foyle embarked a portion of
the 7th Royal Fusiliers this morning from the dockyard,
and left with them in the afternoon for Plymouth. She
will return on Thursday for the remainder 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 are 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, Auo. 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 she will be dismantled
and paid off.
Her Majesty's screw steam frigates, Amphion, 34, and
Horatio, 22, and paddle-wheel steam -vessel, Cyclops, 6,
have taken on board as much coal as they can stow, so
that they may be ready to proceed to sea, if required, at
the shortest possible notice.
EXPERIMENTS ON ANCHORS.
THREE O'CLOCK, P 3L—The 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.
ERRATUDL—In the analysis of the results of the
second series of experiments on anchors (a report of
which appeared in The Sun of Monday) Mitcheson
and Sons' anchor 7,23 inadvertently stated to possess an
advantage of sixteen feet holding power over Lieutenant
Rodgers's Exhibition prize anchor, instead of six feet.
APPOINTMENT.
WOOLWICH, AUG 10.—Absiscant-Surgeon Henry C.
S. Wilson, M.D. (1847), to the Ilighflyer steam-sloop, at
present on an experimental emit,
Rear• Admiral Sir Peipps Hornby, K.C.8., and Corn-
natidore Sir Thomas Herbert, Lords of the Ad -
tnitalty, visited Woolwich-dockyard to-day, and were
accompanied by Commodore -Superintendent Henry
Eden and Mr. Lang, master-shipwright, during a
lengthened inspection of the Agamemnon, 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 down the river a short
distance tbis afternoon to try her engines, and, ween
completed, she is to be taken round to Pembroke to be
employed as a tug vessel 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 caravan, after being lengthened 9 ft et, or 4i feet on
each side, has Is: en replaced in its fernier position, ,and a
new platform raised over it. When neeessa.), two large
volumes of water can be oischarged at a considerable
height through it from the water in the basin, which ha-
the effect of deepening the entrauce considerably, and
the fall causes the currant to carry off the mud deposits
to a distance from the wharf wall.
DEVONPORT, MONDAY.—Lady 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, Endymion, 44, and Andromache, 44, with
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 discontinue the sale of old rope. ID
the trial of a party at the recent Bedmin assizss, on the
charge of embezzling Queen's stores, the judge took oc-
casion to remark on the impropriety of the Government
disposing of articles of this description. The present
order is supposed to have arisen out of these obser-
vations.
CHATHAM, MONDAY.—The Daphne, 18, Captain Fan-
shawe, came to Chatham this afternoon to be paid off.
Sinbad naval lighter arrived on Saturday with stores
rem Plymouth and Portsmouth.

As was to be expected, the farmers being all busily

tent of injury clone to the whet is every day more dev-
loping itself, and fields which a week ago gave proraure
