PAST WEEK.
Wednesday, 13.—Her Majesty's ship /Etnacame out of
the Basin.
Thursday, 14.—Arrived the Powerful, 84, from the
Eastward. Sailed the. Zebra, 16, for the Mediterranean.
The Clio and Childers hauled cut of Dock into the
Bason durir,,g the week ; the Clio is masted, and will pro-
bably be put in commission in a few days.
The Powerful is not nearly manned, being upwards of
160 seamen short of her complement. It is supposed they
will draft a number of the new raised men now on board the
Flag Ship and Blake Hulk, to complete her establishment.
The Waterwicb and Curlew are fitting out rapidly; a
party is lent to each vessel from the Britannia, which will
no doubt tend to make the new raised men good seamen,
and will greatly assist to expedite the equipment of the
vessels.
On the 11th test., the following Gentlemen passed their
examination at the Royal Naval College, touching their
proficiency in Navigation to serve as Lieutenants in the
Royal Navy, viz.: Messrs. H. P. Hope, John Norman,
D. Miller, S. S. L. Crofton, F. M'Gregor, W. N.
Hastie, W. D. Carroll, and F. P. Coull.

CORN-LAW MISREPRESENTA-

TION.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The statement of expenses and produce of land
brought forward 14 Mr. Christopher is calculated to
mislead those only who know nothing of the mattsr.
Every farmer who reads it must know that it is falla-
cious, and may thence be led to reflect as to what sort
of a case it is which requires to be bolstered up :vith
fallacies. If the account is a true one, either the land
must be wretched, such as ought never to have been
broken up, or the farming is wretched, such as ought
never to be seen ; but which will continue to be seen
to the end of the chapter so long as dolts are protected,
as it is called, by a restrictive law. We may be quite
sure that. in Mr. 'Christopher's statement every item of
expense that could possibly be pressed into the service
has been brought forward, whilse it is equally certain
that the other side of the account has been kept down
far below what truth demands. The quantity of grain
used for seed may be fairly enough stated, but the pro-
duce is in every case kept below the truth. To say
nothing of turnips and clover, it may be asserted, with-
out fear of contradiction on the part of any intelligent
and honest farmer, that land upon which it is worth
while 'to expend the sums set down in the statements
will yield from 40 to 45 bushels of barley, and from 30
to 35 bushels of wheat per acre. If we go no further into
the account than this(and it would not be difficult to show
that other fallacies as great, or nearly so, are involved
in it.), it therefore appears that to the ss. 9d. per acre
profit in four years must be added the value of at least
6 bushels of wheat or 425., and at least 4 bushels of
barley or 155., making a total of 31. 2s. 9d., instead of
the ss. 9d. The fact is, the statement is too gross to
deceive any one who is not anxious to be deceived, and
is, perhaps, as dishonest for its concealments as for its
miscalculations.

A CARD.

I.OEDD ON'S AROMATIC LOZENGES
of STEEL are found by experience to possess the most
extraordinary powers in the cure of disorders incidental to youth of
both sexes. For improving debilitated, relaxed, or broken constitu-
tions, there decidedly is not so excellent a remedy in the universe.
When the weak, the languid, the emaciated of either sex, make a
trial of this medicine, they find their spirits exhilarated, their strength
recruited, their acuities renovated, and all the alarming symie oms of
approaching consumption subside. When the most important func-
tions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance
or imprudence are reduced to the most deplorable state of nervous
debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been as-
certained, beyond a doubt, that these circumstances are cc-
casioned by a general or partial relaxation or weakness
iii
either sex; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S genuine
AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEE!„ are the best, if not the
only remedy ever discovered fur this species of debility. When
taken into the stomach, they hureediatey diffuse themselves like a
vapour through every per-., producing effects at once delightful,
salutary, and permanent. Whei the spark of life begin' to grow dim,
the circulation la, guid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges
refoulid to give tone to the nerves, exhi3rate the aninaal spirits,
ix eelorate the body, and re-animt.te the whole man. When aversi,-n

loss or depravity of a!:p,tite, and pallid countenance,

no doubt limited in a great measure, by the determination
of many of the large manufacturers not to take the prices of
Tuesday, though it is probable that very needy holders, if
determined to quit stock, must submit to a shade less than
is to-day generally asked. The opinion has gained ground
this week, that cotton will go higher, as the importations
continue unsually small of last year's crop. Yarns are as
dull as ever; and, if any change, it is for the worse since
Tuesday. The position of the spinners is now worse than
it was Svc or six weeks since, though at that time it was
hardly thought possible to be so. There seems now but
to be one opinion among them, that it is only a further and
greatly reduced production, can make the business a pay-
ing one.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.-11l our piece market
there is nothing to notice different from the last two or

to.day, but without generally obtaining it. Wool—This

ARRIVALS AND SAILINGS DLTRING THE
London, England, 1839-03-16

Personal disputes between the leaders of the Doctri-
naire and ReAnn parties continue to prevent the
formation of a French Cabinet. M. ODILLON BARROT's
supporters will not hear of M. GulzoT'S appointment
to the Ministry of the Interior, and nothing short of this
will satisfy the Doctrinaires and a section of the friends
of Count MOLE. The blame is wholly attributable to
M. GUXZOT, whose vanity will not be satisfied with the
only Office in the Cabinet for which his talents and his
sympathies adapt him—namely, the Department of
Public Instruction. On Wednesday, M. THIER3,
brought about an interview of the disaffected leaders,
which lasted three hours, but which the obstinacy
of the Doctrinaires rendered of co effect. At this
meeting the left was represented by MM. ODILLON
BARROT, DE SADE, and DE MORNAY ; the left centre,
by MM. THIERS, ROGER, and MALLEYILLE ; and the
Doctrinaires, by MM. GuiZoT, JoSErli PERIER,
DUCHATEL, RENIUSAT, and HEBERT. The following
brief account cf what took place is from the Cannier
Francais of Thursday :
" The Left and Left Centre explained, in terms the
most bonourable to the Doctrinaires, the proposals. which
these declined. M. Guizot replied by refusal. M. Bar-
rot, he said, planted the flag of the Left in the Presidency
of the Chamber, M. Thiers that of the Left Centre in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, M. Guizot would plant his in
the Home-office. M. Barrot denied that there were three
flags—there was neither rivality of persons nor distinction
of opinions. M. Thiers reduced M. Guizot's objection to
a question of personal dignity. The Doctrinaires, though
touched by the frankness of their explanation, neverthe-
less refused to yield, and declared they would remain faith-
ful to the Coalition. The sincerity of this may be trusted.
If, however, hostilities should recommence, they must com-
mence on the part of the Doctrinaires."
This statement is followed by the subjoined observa-
tions on the unfitness of M. GuIZOT for the office to
which he aspires. We regret to be obliged to admit that
thereas too much truth in them .

SERVING A WRlT.—Yesterday Mr. Malcolm, livery-
stable-keeper of Craven-hill, was charged at the Maryle-
bone police-office with assaulting a Sheriff's officer. In
answer to the charge he stated that the plaintiff, who was
unknown to him, met him in the street and thrust some-
thing into his bosom, and, on requiring an explantion, the
answer was that the slip of paper would tell all that was
necessary, upon which he thrust out his hand and pushed
him away.
Mr. HARDWICK said that this mode of serving a writ
was highly objectionable, but as more violence had been
used than was necessary, he should require the defendant
to pay the costs, ss.

Mr. Francis Wright, who for nearly forty years
filled the situation of one of the principal messengers of tho
House of Commons, died recently at his residence in 13 -au-
mont• street, Marylebone, at the advanced age of 75. We
understand that Mr. Wright, who was always remarkable
for his penurious and saving habits, and close attentiod to
business, has left behind him 75,0001. in the fends, beside;
considerable freehold and leasehold property in housi:s and
lands (it is supposed) to about 100,000/. Mr. W4ht has
been three times married, but had no children by either
union. The whole of his accumulations, with the excep-
tion of legacies of 100/. each to two of the officers of the
Commons, and an annuity of 40/. per annum to an old fe-
male servant, he has bequeathed to the relatives of his last
wife, who died a few months since. The family of the Rev, •
Mr. Ward, who married a ncice of the late Mrs. \Vright,
come into possession of 55,000/.
BAPTIZING IN TIIE SEA.—WO were wit-
nesses, on Wednesday last, to a rather unusual occurrence.
Two bathing machines were standing in the water, at
Bootle Bay, close to the landmarks. A minister of sorn,;
sect of Baptiste, bare-headed, and wearing a white sur-
plice, stood up to his middle in the sea. The machines
contained females to the number, we believe, cf eight, some
of whom were young and some old, who succes:,i‘ely undtr-
went the ceremony of baptism, by being immersed ever
head in the tide. The day was ext:'emely cold. The ce-
remony was performed too far from the busy haunts of men
to attract many spectators : a few were, however, attracted
by its singularity, while many of the inhabitants of Bootle
watched its progress through telescopes.

LAW INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF CHANCERY, Mdltell 28.
The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and
took lunatic petitions and causes to-day.
IN THE MATTER OF MEDHURST, A LUNATIC.
This case came before the Court upon the petition of Mr.
Francis Hastings Medhurst, the young man who has been
committed to Newgate, on the Coroner's warrant, for the
wilful murder of Mr. Joseph Alsop, at llayes, praying
that the Court would order a sum of four hundred
pounds to be paid over to him out of the funds
in Court belonging to the lunatic for the purpose of en.
abling him to conduct his defence at his approaching trial
at the Central Criminal Court, and also to avail himself of
the valuable assistance of the Attorney-General upon that
occasion. The petitioner is the grandson of the lunatic,
and tenant in tail or remainder, expectant, upon his death,
of prcperty to the amount of between two and three
thousand pounds a year. In consequence of his
relationship to the lunatic, the petitioner had been
allowed 2001. a-year out of his property. Great expense
had been incurred in the proceedings that had already
taken place, both before the Coroner and the Magistrates,
and the Trustees of the property consented to the present
application, provided the Court considered it a proper one
to be granted. If the Court ordered the amount to be
paid the solicitors of the petitioner were willing to account
for its expenditure. •
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired what was the amount
of property in Court belonging to the lunatic.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who appeared for the peti-
tioner, said there was upwards of 10,000/. in Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR made the order as prayed, upon
the solicitors for the petitioner undertaking to account.
The Court, after disposing of several other cases totally
devoid of interest, rose shortly after one o'clock. His
Lordship will not sit again till Tuesday, the 9th of April,
that day being the first seal before term.

ROWING MATCH,

TnE GREAT SCULLERS' CONTEST BETWEEN NEWEL
AND POC,)CK.—This long-expected contest took place
yesterday, and afforded a very high treat to the member:
of the different clubs who witnessed it. At three o'clock
Newel jumped into the blue wager wherry, belonging to
Mr. Crockford, weighing 651b5., and rowed up the reach,
to ascertain whether there was any necessity to cover her
in; and in a few minutes after Pocock appeared in a no
less beautiful specimen of light building, belonging to
Mr. Dalgleish, of the Leander Club. At half-past thre;.
they were at the starting place, and Pocock won the
choice of station. They started from near the centre of
the bridge at a beautiful pace, and were scull and scull
for the first dozen strokes. Newel then led by half a
length. At the Horseferry he was rather less in advance;
hut, on the gun being fired when they faced Chandler's,
Newel went past the Penitentiary a length ahead. Each
rowed in splendid style, but Newel, between Vauxhall
bridge and the Red House, proved the better man. He
gained four or five lengths, continued, by excessive labour,
to increase his advantage, and arrived at Putney bridge
twelve or fourteen lengths in advance of his opponent.

possession of it, certain it is that it is most completely in
his Power. The Ganges and Implacable passed Gibral-
' t!Lr some days before the Powerful, but the latter ar-
rived the day before them. In sailing together from
Malta the Powerful also beat them by their own report.
The Implacable did not join at the Dardanelles till five
days after the Ganges ; she is a very indifferent sailer.
It is supposed that she is at present too deep in the
water, having once been a favourite ship, and it is hoped
may yet alter for the better. The contest between the
Ganges and the Powerful was a very sharp one, the lat-
ter having, however, the advantage. The fleet is in
good order; the French ships are also fine vessels,
having 100 guns on two docks—none of them are smaller
than the Powerful. There is said to be a scarcity of
midshipmen in the French fleet.
The following is an extract from a letter from her
Majesty's ship, Vanguard, SO, Captain Sir Thomas
Pellowes, Knight, dated Basicha Bay, August 12 :
" Before this arrives, you will have heard of our cruize
'With the Turkish fleet to its junction with Mehemet !
Ali. We followed it from this place down half way
between Rhodes and Cyprus, where a letter from
Alexandria arrived with the answer to the Capitan
Pacha's proposals. He immediately shaped his course
for Alexandria, and we joined our Admiral with the in-
telligence, at his cm:zing ground, off Cape Gatta,
Cyprus ; from thence we wore dispatched again to the
French Admiral, to acquaint him that our squadron
was on its way to join bis. The junction was made on
the 6th, so we are now a formidable force, ready to
repel any aggres3ion from the Russians. The fleet
Consists of 16 sail of the line (10 English), 3 frigates
(2 English), 3 corvettes (English), 2 large steamers,
and 2 brigs (1 English) ; the Ganges, Powerful, Im-
placable, Daphne, and Hydra having joined from Eng-
land. The French ships' names are Jena, Hercules,
100 guns each ; Jupiter, Genereux, Trident, and
Triton 90 guns each ; Amazon, frigate, and Comete,
brig ; the St. Petri, Diadems, 90 guns, and Monte-
bello, 130, are also expected from France. Captain
Walker has been requested to retain his situation under
the young Sultan. Our Admiral goes up to Constanti-
nople to-morrow (the 13th), to aid the Diplomatic ar-
rangements pending during the confused state of affairs.
The squadron watered at Paros on their way up."

CORPORATION OF BIRMINGHAM.

A. letter was read from the Town Clerk of Birming-
ham, returning thanks to the members of the Corpora-
tion of London who had opposed the introduction of the
New Police Bill. Also a letter from the Town Clerk
of Birmingham, denouncing the Birmingham Police Bill,
as being calculated to destroy all the most important
privileges of that Corporation.
Sir P. LAURIE moved that the letter be entered on
the minutes, and he was glad to find the union of sen-
timent that now existed between London and Birming-
ham. He hoped that union would long continue.
Another HON. MEMBER, in seconding the motion,
congratulated the Court upon the unanimity which pre-
vailed among them, and it was not the least singular
feature in it that they had Sir Peter Laurie abusing
the Tories.—( Laughter.)
Sir PETER LAURIE said he would newer flinch from
abusing the Tories when he thought they were in the
wrong.—{Laughter.)
l'be motion was then agreed to.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MONUMENT.
A memorial from the Coroner's Jury who sat on the
body of the late Miss Moyes, was then read, praying
the Court of Common Council to take such steps as
would prevent the recurrence of similar accidents.
Mr. WIRE moved that the memorial do lie on the
table. The recommendation appeared to him quite ab-
surd, and he did not think any precautions they could
adopt would prevent the commission of suicide.—(Hear.)
Alderman BROWN deprecated the spirit of levity with
which the memorial had been received by the Court,
and moved as an amendment that it be referred to the
City Lands Committee.
After a short discussion, in which Sir PETER LAU-
wig, Mr. STEPHENS, and some other members took
part, the amendment was put and negatived, and the
memorial ordered to lie on the table.
