PoRTB3IOIITH, TIIESDAY.—his Grace the Duke of
Northumberland First Lord of the Admiralty, and her
Grace the Duchess,
accompanied by his private secre-
tary, the lion. Captain Pelham, arrived last evening at
Portsmouth, and dined at the George Hotel. At half-
past seven they embarked from the Sallyport on board
the Black Eagle, Master Commander Cooke, Admiralty
yacht, and proceeded down through the Needles en
route tor the Channel Islands.
The Inflexible, steam-sloop, recently arrived from the
West Indies, now in the angle dock, was found to have
lost a sheet of copper off her starboard bilge. Her
planking, where this copper was off, was found to be
completely perforated and honeycombed by two species
of worm; the planks were eaten through, therefore it
was no wonder she leaked. Where the copper was on
the planking was uninjured.
The steam-yacht belonging to the Pacha of Egypt,
with his Excellency Said Pacha and Mr. Zorhab on
board, proceeded to Southampton yesterday. Captain
Henderson, C.B.' of the Blenheim, went down in her, at
the request of her commander, to give his opinion on
the working of her engines, previous to her starting for
Alexandria. The yacht returned to Portsmouth har-
b.our in the evening. She appeared to go very fast.
The Jackal iron steamer, Lieutenant-Commander
Beddingfield, recently arrived from the Coast, arrived
yesterday from Plymouth, en route to Woolwich, to pay
off. She brought up some men lately paid off from the
Queen.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE SCREW STEAM
SHIP SYDNEY.
A trial trip took plies yesterday to test the qualities
of the new and splendid iron screw steam-ship Sydney,
the property of the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navi-
gation Company. This vessel has been built in the
Clyde by the Messrs. Denny Brothers, of Dumbarton.
The engines by Denny and Tullock, of the same place.
She measures 1,400 tons, with a 300 horse auxiliary

possess every modern improvement, and combine com-
fort and elegance in their fittings-up to a degree which
we have seldom seen equalled. The vessel is ship-
rigged, and presents a truly raceful and noble pear-
ance. Shortly after twelve o cglock the directorsap of the
company, accompanied by a large body of guests,
having come on board, the vessel got under
weigh for Gravesend. Below Woolwich four trials
were made of her speed upon the measured mile,
under peculiarly unfavourable circumstances certainly, for
a strong spring tide and fresh breeze were both against
her. Notwithstanding, the result gave a rate of speed
equal to ten knots and a half per hour, which must be
received, not only as a very satisfactory, but really sur-
prising performance, and renders manifest the vast im-
provements which aro daily taking place in the manage-
ment of the screw. A little after four o'clock about
150 Persons sat down to a mast sumptuous entertain-
ment in the fore saloon, Mr. Hans, the chairman of the
bard of directors, in the chair. The usual loyal toasts,
and " Success to the Sydney," were drunk in full bum..
off Blackwell once more, and the directors and their
pers, About seven P.N. the ship reached her moorings
guests landed after .a day passed in the most agreeable
manner, the pleasure of which was enhanced by the
courtesy and hospitality of the hosts, and the complete
success which evidently awaits their spirited enterprise.
The Sydney proceeds on her voyage to the Australian
colonies upon the 3d of August.

On Sunday Widow Staples cea,i2d to exist, after
experiencing the ups and down of life for a century, being
in the 100th year of her age, having lived in the reign of four kings and during 14 years of that of Queen Victoria.
She remembered the sensation caused by the death of the
celebrated General Wolfe, on his taking Quebec in 1759;
also the death of George 11. Her children are all advanced
in life, the eldest being between 70 and 80 years of age.—

This officer, who is in the Dutch arymy, states that HolloPillsway's
Pills and Ointment have cured him of rheumatism, which app

arations v incurable, as neither sea bathing, vapour baths,
nor prepaunted as sure remedies, did him any goods
and the treatment of the doctor, after several months' trial,
was without success. At this juncture he commenced taking
these pills, and rubbing the ointment into the complaining'
parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course n'
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for

The woman knelt down, and asking to be pointed to the

aloud that God, through the intercession of His Holy

use of her sight. This may appear strange, but it is a 133'

chapel, and who knew her to be blind for such a number of
years, fully believes in. The woman, whenever she has
since appeared abroad, is beseiged by a crowd, to whom she
relates the wonderful manner in which God has removed her
