THE BLAKE.-WAGES,

This is a suit for substraction of wages promoted by a mariner, Ken-
dal, against the owners of the above ship. The man was engaged, in
1837, on a voyage to Bombay, China, and back. On the homeward
voyage the ship stopped at the Cape, and took passengers for St. Helena.
Here the master and the chief and second mates were tried for the mur-
der of one of the crew ; and being convicted of manslaughter, the two
former were sentenced to transportation for fourteen years, and the latter
to two years' imprisonment. A new master was appointed, who, on the
3d of November last, ordered the men to weigh anchor, intending to
start for England. This order some of the mariners (Kendal among the
number), who were drunk, refused to obey, and some, after being again
commanded, again refused. The vessel arrived home in the present
month, and in consequence of these acts of " drunkenness and insubor.
dination," the payment of the wages had been resisted. An act on pe-
tition pleading the above facts, was offered for admission.
The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE and Dr. NICHOLLS, for the owners of the
Blake, contended that under the general maritime law the drunken and
mutinous conduct of the mariner worked a forfeiture of wages. The
man was not entitled to their payment if the facts set up were capable of
proof, and the libel ought, therefore, at once to be rejected.
Dr. ADDAMS, for the mariner, said that this was a case of intoxication,
and not of disobedience.

Dr. LUSHINGTON, having gone through the circumstances of the case,
said that disobedience of orders was a mare grievous offence than
drunkenness, insubordination went a little further, but mutiny was not
only both of these, but it was, in the opinion of the Court, a disposition
to wrest the whole government and direction of the ship from the hands
of those in whom the authority was placed. Now it was difficult to
decide what was meant by such general terms as mutinous conduct,
but it could not be supposed to mean actual mutiny; and it was
also difficult to decide the quantum of drunkenness and of in.
subordination which would work a forfeiture of wages. The Learned
Judge could not attempt to define it, for each ease must stand on its
own particular facts, but he had no disposition to carry the relaxation
beyond the limits which Lord Stowell had laid down. The Court then
proceeded to read the various articles of the allegation, which it consi-
dered generally admissible.—The libel was admitted.

CONCERT AT THE LONDON

TAVERN.

Mr. T. H. Severn last night gave his annual benefit concert at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The room was completely filled,
Chiefly owing, we apprehend, to the attraction offered by a selection from
Mozart's " Idomeneo," an opera:never produced in this country, which
formed the first part of the concert. The vocal parts were sustained by
Miss
Bireh, Miss Woodyatt, Miss Emma Cawthorn, Mr. James Bennett,
and Mr. Leffler, accompanied by an excellent though not numerous band,
comprising
some of our first-rate perfonners, such as Barrett, Baumann,
Harper, &c., led by Mr. Dando. The music of the selection comprised
all the fine flowing melodies, and delicious, though inartificial accompa-
niment so characteriitic of the inimitable composer to whose genius and
skill it owes its birth, and strongly reminded us of his " Don Giovanni."
Truth to say, however, it might have gone much better than it did.
The singers did net appear to be perfectly at home in their parts, and
there was too often a want of delicacy and an occasional uncertainty in the
accompaniments, which showed that the rehearsals had been, like angels
isits, few, though perhaps not far between. The chorusses too were noisy,
without the richness of combination which ought to form the main
feature of full concerted pieces. The best chorusses, both in point of
composition and effective performance, were " Corriarn.), fuggiamo,"
and " Accogli, o Re." Miss Birch's best effort, perhaps, was in the
recitative and air " Zeffiretti lusinghieri," Miss Woodyatt sang very
effectively, as did Miss Emma Cawthorn, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Leffler.
As a whole the effect of the selection upon the audience was very striking,
and we make no doubt we shall have further opportunities of hearing
those pieces, which made the most decided impression. The second
Part of the Concert opened with Mozart's symphony called " Jupiter."
The Minuetto and Trio, and the last movement, were finely played.
Mr. Leffler, who is improving very rapidly, gave a ballad of E. Perry's,
Oh, the steps of mY love," very charmingly. The gem of the evening
was decidedly Miss Woodyatt's " Ave Maria," splendidly accompanied
on `'Where the bee sucks,'' by Miss Birch,
Dfistsh ec 1 ari o n
Woodyatt,et b

THE NAVY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
have read with much interest the various letters on
the state of the Navy which have appeared in your columns,
and your comments upon them. British sailors, and well-
informed ones too, are the authors of the whole, under what-
ever signature. Their object appears to have been the same
as your own. Your zeal has been great, and your services
eminent, in upholding that branch of the public service on
which, in times of trouble, most thinkir g men admit our safety
depends.
I also have the honour to belong to the Navy ; and for the
same reason as the Dons who have addressed you before me,
would rather be excused from signing my own name, unless in
your Notice to Correspondents you particularly request that
favour of me.
Allow me to ask why neither yourself, nor any of the Naval
Officers alluded to, have connected steam with men-of-war in
their several treatises on the state of the fleet. Enough has
been said upon ships of the line and frigates, and as soon as
the Canada thing has flashed in the pan, the usefulness of
your information will be made apparent in Parliament.
Steam, Sir, in the event of war, will be a power to influ-
ence, if not to divide, future naval engagements. What have
we in that " line," and what has France ? How stand we in
respect to naval steam officers and engineers, and how stands
France? We have four or five war steamers only fit for ser-
vice. The Gorgon, 1,100 tons ; Medea, SOO ; Rhadaman-
thus ; Phoenix (repairing) ; Dee (ditto), of shout 760 tons;
and one of 1,200 tons building. What has France? Did you
happen to see the large, black, fierce-looking steam ships, im-
mensely armed and well manned, which accompanied the
French Marshal Scull at the Coronation ? What think you,
Sir, of a fleet of similar vessels plying, fur practice, at this
moment, to and fro in the Mediterranean ? They carry pas-
' sengers about between all the principal ports ; and travellers
will tell you that our little men-of•-war packets of 500 tons
have but little chance. Every body goes in the French ves-
sels. Marseilles and Toulon are the head-quarters. The
officers are perfectly distinct from the passengers. They all
belong to Louis Philippe's Navy, and the object appears to be,
bringing up engineers and steam officers in—Practice !I!
Seek, Sir, for information on this head ; you will find plenty
to corroborate my statement—made in the hope that truth, and
the agitation of it, may overcome cheese-paring economy, and
be a means of keeping us on a footing at least with France in
this respect.—Yours, &c.

IN RR JOHN LOVE.

Mr. W. H. CooKe appled yesterday in this case, for a re-hearing un..
der singular circumstances. The insolvent was on the last circuit at
Monmouth remanded from his petition for a period of eight calendar
months, for fraudulently making away with his property. The judg-
ment would expire on the 6th of February. The present application was
made on the part of the assignee, on the ground that the insolvent had
concealed in his room in Monmouth prison a large sum of money. It
appeared from an affidavit of a fellow prisoner, that a short time since,
when Love was ill, he gave him the key of his box. lie there found
a large quantity of silver, and a bag which, from the weight and sound,
he believed to contain a considerable quantity of sovereigns, concealed
from the creditors.

Mr. Commissioner Bower( said under the new law, assignees were
officers of the Court, and could seize property.
Mr. COOKE remarked that he had suggested that course to his client.

The COURT granted a rule nisi for a re-hearing,
COMMISSIONERS' NOTES.

An application was made by Mr, COOKE, on the part of some creditors,
that the Court would allow their notes of a case to be copied as it would
greatly benefit an estate. The application was refused, the Court saying
that they would be called upon to prove them, and it would be a mon-
strous inconvenience.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday a young man, about 20 years of age, named Abraham
Davis, was charged with having, in the middle of the day, let himself
into the house of Mr. Scaley, in Colchester-strect, Savage gardens, made
his way quietly to the attics, and collected about 101. worth of property,
which he was carrying of when he was detected.

After hearing the evidence, Mr. Alderman LAINSON said the prisoner
had shown that he was an expert thief, for it was by chance, and no
fault of his, that he had been detected. He committed him to New.
gate for trial.

EXPARTE WOOD IN RE CHAPMAN, EIQ.
In this case a rule had been obtained, ca ling on the defendant, the
Marshal of the Queen's Bench Prison, to sisow cause why he should not
answer the matters of an atßdavit, charging that the complatnant in this
case had been improperly
prevented from arresting Pemberton, while
that person was in the custody of the Marshal ; and that in thus pre-
venting the arrest the Marshal had, by his officers, disobeyed the order
of Lord 'Chief Justice Tyndal.
The Arroastev-GetsznaL and Mr. KNowLza appeared to show cause
against the rule.
Sir W. FOLLETT and Mr. Maxey. were beard in support of the rule.
The COURT thought that there was something like connivance on the
part of the turnkeys and other officers if the prison, who were bound,
both by the undertaking of the Marshal and the obedience due to the
order of a Judge, to see that that order was properly allowed to be exe-
cuted. The rule must be made absolute. The matter might be re.
ferred to the Master, who woeld reportto the Court on the circumstances
of the case, and make any suggestion he might think St as to what ought
to be done.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

Two ruffianly-looking fellows, named James Buckley and
John Murray, of Buckridg-street, St. Giles's, were charged
with the following barbarous conduct.
Wm. Goode, 2, Charles-street, Drury-lane, deposed that
at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon he was sitting in
his room, after returning from his work, when the prisoners,
who were not known to him, and who appeared to be intoxi-
cated, burst in the panels of his door, attacking a large dog
which lay at the fire by his side. The dog, which was
very powerful, instantly flew at them, and he cried
out to them to keep away, or it would tear them
to pieces, but they persisted, and the animal caught
hold of Buckley by the leg, inflicting a sev, re wound.
The dog then took refuge behind the complainant, and
to induce him to leave his retreat one of the prisoners
enticed him with cheese, and the moment he made an advance
to pick up the bait, the other seized him by the neck of the
neck, and forcing him on the floor cut his throat half way with
a knife. A constable was then called in, and he seeing the
animal struggling and weltering in his bleod, was obliged to
dispatch him with his staff in order to put him out of pain.
Mr. THISTLETON, a county Magistrate, who sat for Sir F.
ROE, observed, that such an act of cruelty seldom came under
his notice, and called upon the prisoners for their account of
the circumstance.

The prisoner Murray said that he and his companion were
going up stairs with two females, when the dog attacked and
bit them, and they considered, under such circumstance, they
were justified in destroying him.
The complainant declined that the dog was not on tho
stairs; and afterwards Constable Brown, 140 F, corroborated
the greater part of his statement, and proved that the door was
nearly all broken to pieces.

M. THISTLETON said it was a case of extreme and wanton
cruelty, and he should call upon the prisoners to pay a fine of
40s. each, or go to prison for fourteen days.

Q UEEN.SQUARE.

Seow BALLlNG.—Frederick Braggy, and Henry Clark, two ill-con..
ducted young iren, were yesterday charged with amusing themselves by
pelting respectable persons, male and female, with snow balls.

Defendants were convicted in the penalty of 20s. each, or 14 days' im.
prisonment in default.
The fines not being paid they were locked up.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Edward Richardson, John ley, Ann Ramsey, and
Ellen Brown, pertormers at a penny theatre in the Mint, Southwark,
were bruught up in custody charged with playing the regular drama
in an unlicensed theatre. The defendants appeared at the bar in
their theatrical dresses, to conceal which from the vulgar gaze, as they
passed from the station.house to the office, they enveloped themselves
in their great coats and cloaks.

Inspector Yates of the 111 division, stated the case against the " va.
gabonds."

The defendant Richardson said that he was a mechanic out of em.
ploy, and that having nothing to do, he was endeavouring to earn an
" honest penny," not knowing that he was doing wrong in taking a
part in Hothello the Moor of 'Venus.

Wibley said that now he was made acquainted that he was doing
wrong he should " throw up his engagement," and try if he could not
get one at some of the licensed houses.

This defendant's father attended, and said that 'he was regularly
stage-struck, and, but for his infatuation for theatricals, he would be
of great assistance to his family, as he was a good workman.
Ann Ramsey and Ellen Brown, the two heroines of the " Mint
Theatre," enticated the forgiveness of their Worships, and said that
if they were let oil this time, they would never play again at a penny
theatre. They added that it was the first time they ever were in cus.
tody for any offence, and they hoped it would be the last.

The MAGISTUATES told the defendants that they had all subjected
themselves to be committed as rogues and vagabonds. As, however,
they had made a promise that they should not repeat the offence, he
would, therefore, this time discharge them.

Within the last month three of these nuisances called penny theatres
have been put down by the police of the district of the metropolis, and
es one or two more are known still to exist, no time will be lost in
checking their career.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jr.l 31.

THORNHILL V. OASTLER.
This was an action on a promissory note and of definite for deeds.
A rule had been obtained calling on the plaintiff to show cause why
the venue should not be changed from London to York, on the ground
that all the defendant's witnesses resided at York.
The COURT, after hearing Mr. Sergeant Wilds against, and Mr.
Sergeant Atcherley in support of the rule, considered that no suffi.
cient ground had been shown for changing the venue, and accord-
ingly discharged the rule.

WILSON V. WMBOl'l.
This case stood for argument to-clay; but it was arranged that
the facts in this and several other actions arising out of the same cir.
cumstances, should be turned into a special case.

THE COAL TRADE.

The following is the report of the Harbour-master of the
most important station in the river to the Lord Mayor, on the
operation of the new arrangements, and several matters con-
nected with the coal trade, comprehending the points in Mr.
Richard's letter, which hzs been published :
" Harbour-master's Office, Greenwich.

" MT Loan—ln answer to your Lordship's communication,
requesting information on various subjects connected with the
district over which I preside as Harbour. master of the port of
London.

" let. How the by-laws work in this division of the river,
whether they are strictly carried into cffecr, and whether any
difficulty arises in enforcing compliance with the orders?
" I beg to report that the by-laws work exceedingly well
in this district, and secure unobstructed passage for naviga-
tion; give access to the docks and victualling yards ; and pre-
vent damage to her Majesty's or the City's mooring chains.
The s)stem adopted under the new by-laws of putting► the
orders for the pool on board the vessels in the sections is highly
approved of by all parties interested. The shipowner finds
his vessel in security with the captain on board to watch her
safety, and to protect his property, and the captain and men
are not exposed to the annoyance of waiting about in them in
wet weather. The laws arc strictly adhered to in the district.
" 2d, Are all ships passed up in turn ?
" The ships are all passed up into the pool in turn as they
are sold in the coal market, according to a list furnished, in the
following manner:—
'Coal-meter's Office, Coal Exchange.

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

Under the Editorship of Mr. Heraud—a name deservedly
familiar in the higher regions of poetry and criticism—
our old acquaintance the " Monthly" promises to achieve
even more than pristine popularity. The second part of
the " Pleasures of Genius," a poem by the Editor, is full
of fine thoughts, and high imaginings. There is a manly
vigour about it which the professors of the modern Chloe
and Corydon school of poetry may mistake for the absence
of refined polish ; but which recals to our mind the verses
of many of the standard names in English poetic literature.
To the same pen we are disposed to attribute an excellent
article on the genius of Milton, in which the criticisms of
Addison and Dr. Johnson, are examined in an admirably
investigating spirit. " It was not the foible of
Johnson's mind," observes the writer of the article
before us, " to succumb to authority, whether ancient or
modern. He showed well in his Preface to Shakspeare
that he could grant to genius its prerogatives, but claimed
extraordinary privileges for criticism. It is remarkable
that in his Lives of the Poets' he always says his best
things, and gives his most cordial commendations to the
works of inferior writers. The sense of superiority sheds
a complacency ever his mind and feelings, which is benign-
antly expressed in his opinions. He makes as if he were
doing a kindness, and delivers his sentiments with a rough
good-nature, of which we have nothing to complain except
its ostentation. When lie meets with a master mind his
own rises in opposition—' Greek meets Greek.' His con-
duct on these occasions, by such as are ignorant of the work-
in:7s of a great intellect, has been attributed to literary jea.
lousy—a feeling which, surely, cannot generally exist towards
departed genius." Much of the above is common-place ; but
the concluding remarks afford a better key to a right com-
prehension of Johnson's Criticisms of Milton and Shaks-
peare than twenty volumes of such flippant and offensive
twaddle as Sir Egerton Budges has written upon the
same subject in his preface to Milton. The " Address to
the Queen," though admirable in tendency, is not likely to
find favour at Court. Some of the paragraphs are
awfully mystical ; and to those unacquainted with the
habit of groping their way through the haze of German
metaphysics, we doubt not they will appear perfectly in-
comprehensible. " Caliber." is a pleasing legend, very
agreeably told ; for we have an impression on our mind
that the ground-work of the story was familiar to us in
childhood. Upon the whole, we congratulate the proprietors
of this Magazine on the Ne ry great improvement which it
exhibits.

LONDON MONTHLY MISCELLANY.

The most amusing essay in this number of the Monthly
Miscellany, which is one of the best of our cheap periodicals,
is that entitled " Another W ord on the Old Watchmen,"
in which there is much of that sprightly play of fancy which
we admire in the prose writings of Leigh Hunt. The tales
in the number are not remarkable for their merit.

MONTHLY LA W MAGAZINE.
With the legal questions discussed in this Number, such
as the recent petition of the Segeants of Law to her Ma-
jesty, we presume not to meddle ; but of the rabid diatribe
on " The House of Commons," we My say that its attack
on Ministers is far too violent to produce any effect. The
thing is altogether overdone. Nevertheless, we must, in
justice to the writer, confess that it is written with vigour
and ingenuity, and shows in every sentence that he is a
" good hater ;" and, like old Johnson, we have a respect
for a good hater.

REVERSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.--Late on
Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the Skinners'
Arms, Cobourg-street, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Wakley,
M. P., on the body of Mr. J. T. Carter, aged 50, lately an
appraiser, much respected in his neighbourhood, who de-
stroyed himself by hanging. About twelve months ago
the unfortunate man failed in business, and could never
since succeed in raising himself in the world. He became
dejected, drank, despaired, and died by his own hand.
Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO DROWN A
FEMALE.—On Wednesday, at the Kensington Petty Ses-
sions, John Dale, who was charged on Tuesday with
attempting to drown a young female with whom he had
cohabited, named Elizabeth Hemmings, was brought up
for further examination before Sir J. S. Lillie and Mr. D.
Sutton, the Magistrates. Some circumstantial evidence
having been adduced, Sir J. S. Lillie directed the deposi-
tions to be taken in the proper form, and having been in-
formed that the complainant was then in attendance,
desired she should be called in. On being brought into
the room she persisted in declaring that the prisoner bad
' not thrown her into the water, said that a quarrel had
arisen between them from her following him when she had
no right, not being his wife, to do so, and in solemn terms
refused to be bound over to prosecute him. Sir J. S.
Lillie said under these circumstances he should again re-
mand the prisoner, that the Beech might consider how
they would dispose of the case.
