7HL NAVY.

Admiralty instructions have been received at
Chatham directing the' screw gunvessels Vigilant,
4, 200-horsepower, and the Osprey, 4, 200-horse
power, attached to the steam reserve, to be brought
forward for commission by Feb. 1 next. A second
order directs the screw corvette Cossack, 20, 250-
horse power, to be reedy for commission by June
24, and the Snipe, 5, 80-horse power, by Aug. 30
next. The whole of the above vessels will require
some extensive repairs to be executed upon them
before they will be fit to be recommissioned,

The iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 150-
horse power, which has been placed in No. 4 dock
at Chatham to be brought forward for immediate
service, will require some very extensive repairs to
be effected before she is fit for sea. A survey of her
hull has been made by the dockyard officials, in
order to ascertain whether she wants new bottoming.
Her bulwarks have already been removed in order
to be replaced by new ones, and the repair s in pro-
gress and contemplated will detain her in dock for
some time. The Recruit was built at a private yard
in this country for the Prussian navy, but, together
with another vessel, was -presented to the Admi-
ralty by the Prussian Government, in exchange for
one of our sailing frigates. The Recruit is con-
structed with a steering apparatus at each end, and
this,. with her light draught of water, makes her
admirably adapted for employment in creeks and
shallow rivers. As soon as her repairs are com-
pleted she is to be commissioned.

His Netherlands Majesty's screw corvette Djambi,
16, Capt. Van Rees, arrived at Spithead yesterday
from Niewe Diep, bound for Rio Janeiro, Australia,
and Batavia. On achoring she exchanged the custo-
mary salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Naval
'Commander-in-Chief, and the saluting battery of
the garrison. Captain Van Rees afterwards came
on shore, and was introduced to the military and
naval authorities by the Dutch Vice-Consul, the Che-
valier Van Den Bergh. The .Djambi has experienced
very-heavy weather in -he North Sea, pas lost an
anchor and chain, stove hei boats, split 'sails, and
daiiaged machinery. She has been towed into
Portsmouth harbour to repair damages and refit
for prosecuting her voyage. On Monday last she
fell in with the English schooner Orlando, of Jer-
sey, laden with oranges, and bound for Hull, totally
dismasted off the Hinder Bank, which she took in
tow and conveyed into Dover Roads.

The Imperial screw gunboat Pekin sailed from
Spithead on Tuesday evening for the Thames, to
join the Anglo-Chinese fleet under Rear-Admiral
Sherard Osborne, C.B.

CAPTAIN ACKERLEY'S GRIEVANCES.

At the Marlborough-street Police-court yester-
day, John Turner, James Dalton, and Ellen Turner,
of No. 5, Swallow-street, appeared to answer to
three summonses for assaults taken out by Captain
Charles Ackerley.

Captain Ackerley, who appeared throughout
greatly excited, said he lodged in the house of the
defendants, His complaint was that he was denied
access to his coal-cellar, that a bread-basket had
been thrown at him, and that a little dog had been
set upon him wilfully.

The defendants denied the first two allegations ;
and Mrs. Turner said the little dog, no doubt,
barked and snapped because the captain went about
the house in a state of nudity.
Captain Ackerley would admit that the upper
part of his person was in the state in which he was
born, but he wore a petticoat. He was aware they
called him the " naked captain," because his desire
was to approach a state of nature as closely as pos-
sible, merely attiring himself in a toga, or copying
the dress of Eastern climes.

Mrs. Turner said the captain had not stated all
the truth ; he did not wear even a toga. The dog
was a very small one.
_. _ .

Captain Ackerley said, small as it was, his style
of costume enabled it to bite with unpleasant effect.
Besides, there was the affair of the bread-basket.
Mrs. Turner denied that she threw the basket.
After a good deal more questioning, and warm
altercation,

Mr. TyrwLitt decided on dismissing the summons
on payment of costs.

SELLING A WIFE IN A MARKET-PLACE.—A
novel and ludicrous scene was enacted a few days ago by a
farm servant named Holmes, residing in the neighbourhood
of Newland, a short distance from Selby, in the West
Riding of Yorkshire. It appears that Holmes' wife, about
two years ago, left him, and took up her abode with another
man, with whom, until very recently, she had cohabited.
From some unknown cause the unfaithful spouse a few
days since visited her husband, and tried to persuade him
to accept her again, but, instead of an amicable arrangement
being made between them, they quarrelled and blows were
struck. The wifo summoned her husband Selby, to an-
swer the charge of assaulting her, and the defendant was
fined ss. and costs. Soon afterwards he was heard to ex-
press his intention of publicly selling his wife. He bought
a horse's halter, and, taking hold of his wife, placed it round
her neck. In this manner he took her up to the cross in
the Market-place, and having mounted the steps, offered
her for sale, and ultimately sold her to her old paramour
for a pint of ale. A. large concourse of people assembled to
witness the proceedings, which caused no little amusement.

AN EYE TO BUSINESS.

" The members of Congress draw lots for their seats, each
place in the hall having a chair and desk, which are num-
bered. Now, Americans have a fondness for trading in any
way : even the Southerners are more apt at it than Euro-
peans : but Yankees especially are fond of a swap, always
expecting and generally contriving to make a little. For
indulging in this penchant, members of Congress have been
very shabbily taken t 3 task. One paper, an unsophisticated
Providence Journal, mentioned, but could hardly believe,
that some members, having drawn eligible seats, had sold
them, and taken others in the cuter circle. A New York
journalist was amazed at the greenness of his contemporary,
and informed it that M.C.e sold the books, stationery, seal-
ing wax, franks—and also some the votes—to which they
were entitled."

ervices of the crews of the society's litkilo*r,wa_.
are glad to find that the Committee of
Lifeboat Institution proportion their rewarckforil s
saving life from shipwreck according to the risk in-
curred ; hence it is seen that the rewards granted
to shore boat crews are frequently in excess, per
man, of those voted by the committee to the crews
of the institution's lifeboats.
These rewards continue most materially to stimu-
late our coast population to make the greatest ex-
ertions to save life from shipwreck. The men feet
now assured that their servie2s will not go unre-
quited ; and also that, in the event of a calamity
overtaking them, their widows and orphans will
not be forgotten by the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion, in car:junction with the benevolent public',
which is ever ready to succour-cases of real elistreLd.
" One of the earliest and most Dindamental prin-
ciples of the: institution was to foster and ettcotrago
these heroic enterprises; becouci -fishermen's boats
are always handy, and arc often found available in
localities where it would be impracticable- to pitiait
a lifeboat:
_ .

"From a summary whic'i the institution gives of
its operations during the past three years we observe
thtit in thatyeriod 1,408 livesbave been rescued from
a watery grave by the joint efforts of its lifeboats and
shore boats, for which united services the society has
granted awards amounting to £3,342 ss. 7d., in ad-
tion to 68 silver medals.
"The number of lives saved by the lifeboats of
the society and other means sinco its formation is
12,800, for which services 82 gold medals, 718 silver
medals, and £16,413 in cash have been paid in re-
wards. The institution has also expended £66,860
on lifeboats, lifeboat transporting carriages, and
boat-houses.

" Deeply sensible of the great responsibility that
rests on the institution to maintain its large life-
saving fleet of 123 lifeboats in a thoroughly efficient
Utile, 'and its crews practised in the management of
the boats, which can only be effected by a large per-
manent annual income, the committee of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution earnestly appeal to all
classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding
and perpetuating so great and truly national a
work,"

Morris, they belonged to them, and that the de-
fendant was therefore perfectly justified in retain-
Mg possession of them after the complainant had
voluntarily given them up to him.
After some considerable discussion, during which
the magistrate deprecated the practice of detective
officers entering private houses without a magis-
trate's warrant, the summons was dismissed, and
the property ordered to remain in the custody of
the police for the present.
Both parties appeared to be satisfied with this
course, so that neither thecomplainant nor Messrs.

CLERKEN WELL. COMMITTAL OF TIIE
LEADER GF A GAROTTE BAND.—A well-dressed
young fellow, who gave the name of Wm. Welsh,
bnt who is well known to the police by other aliases,
was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with being con-
cerned, with others not in custody, in stealing a
valuable watch from the person of Mr. Thomas P.
Hugo, an oven-builder, of Gray's •inn-road.
The prosecutor stated.that about a quarter to ten
at night he was passing through the Gray's-inn-
road with a friend, when they were both hustled by
the prisoner and some of his companions. In a
moment he felt a tug at his watch, and saw a man
running away with it. When he attempted to fol-
low, he was stopped by the prisoner, who, after a
struggle, also made his escape. The watch had not
been found.

Mr. TVEynoourt fully committed the prisoner to
the Central Criminal Court for trial.

OYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
u in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality bf governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,

daily present themselves.

TIIE FORTIFICATIONS ON MILFORD HAVEN.-
Major Simpson's battery of the sth Brigade Royal Artil-
lery, in the fortified barracks Pembroka Dock, are the only
troops in any of the fortresses on this important haven—
leaving the dockyard in a truly unprotected state. Its
naval defences are also very inadequate.

The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine gave
judoment last week in a cause in which the Count da Cham-
bord and the Duchesa of Parma were plaintiffs, and the
syndic of the bankruptcy of MM. Lombard Brothers, timber
merchants, of La Villette, defendant. in 1869 and ISG i M.
Bourcier, agent for the plaintiffs, sold to MM. Lombard
three years' cuttings of timber in the forests of Val and
Vasty, for the Ellin of 378,000 f , of which 62,500 f., the price
of the third cutting, remained unpaid at the time of MM.
Lombard's failure in April last, the timber of wh:ch,
though felled, still remained on the estate, and M. Bourcier
maintained that his principal had a lien upon it for the pay-
ment in full of the price agreed. That pretension was
opposed by the syndic, but the Court, after hearing counse
on both sides, decided that the lien was valid, and con.
demned the syndic to pay all the costs of the suits
