211 E NAVY.

The paddle steamer Vivid, tender to the flagship
Fisgard, returned to Woolwich on Saturday from
Dover. On the arrival of the Vivid off the dock-
yard she was immediately ordered to fill up her coal
bunkers and leave Woolwich at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning to be in readiness to embark his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales on his return to Eng-
land.

The screw gun vessel Flying Fish, Commander
Anderson, was on Saturday paid out of commission
at Woolwich, and will be placed in the hands of the
shipwrights for repairs.
The whole of the new ships commenced during
the last two years in Woolwich dockyard, some of
which are in a forward state, are now delayed in
consequence of the various improved systems under
the consideration of the Admiralty. The shed from
which the Caledonia was launched remains unoccu-
pied, from the indecision regarding the system to
be adopted as to the future style of shipbuilding ;
consequently a temporary reduction in the present
establishment is spoken of.

The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. C. B. Boder to the
Megmra ; Lieut. F. S. Vander Meulen to the Hima-
laya ; J. A. Chalice, midshipman, to Meeanee ; S.
Madden, chief engineer, to the Indus, for the
Pelorus, on the latter being paid off; and W. H.
Houghton, acting chief engineer, to the Asia, as
supernumerary.

PAUL DE KOOK.—His name has already struck
some of our readers as very ungallio in structure, but
it is pure Dutch. His father, a native of Holland, and a
banker, being settled in Paris at the period of the first Re •
volution, was employed in the army of the north, as army
contractor. He repaired to the capital in the end of 1793 to
receive a large sum due to him ; but the Convention was in
the habit of using the executioner's axe in the acquittal of
its obligations. Paul's mother would have been executed
with her husband, but for the circumstance of being
encionts at the time. So our novelist had the good fortune
of saving his mother's life before he was born.—•-Duhlin

LI7 E_RATURE.

(I''ssa.Vs• By a Barrister. (Reprinted from the
Saturday Review.) Smith, Elder, and Co.,
Cornhill.
These "Essays', are of a miseellaneus character,
some being on topics of the day, and others on sub-
jects of permanent interest. They are fluently
written, and we quote a specimen from that on
SPIRIT-RAPPING.
The popularity of spirit-rapping shows something more
than the rarity of strict or accurate habits of thkiught. It
shows how wide is the prevalence of gross, downright cre-
dulity. The fact that a large number of people believe the
assertions of unknova writers that they have seen tables
climb upon ottomans, and have heard ghosts playing on the
piano, is very mtenorable. It sets the value of popular be-
lief upon any subject which falls a little out of the common
routine in a striking light, and it proves how very little the
great majority of intelligent men and women are in the habit
of watching the operations of their own minds, and of regu-
lating the formation of their opinions by anything deserv-
ing the name of a principle. Many of the causes of this
state of things are constant, and exist in all times And all
states of society, but others are peculiar to their own time
and country. One of the most curious of them is the spread
of mechanical invention. It might have been supposed
that a scientific age would be of all arms the least supersti-
tious; and if a scientific age meant an age in which all or
, many minds were scientifically trained, this might, though
it is far from certain that it would, be true.
In point of fact, the phrase is generally employed
to describe an age in which the results and application&
of science attain unusual importance, and such a state
of things is not only not a hindrance to superstition, but has
a dfrect tendency to promote it. People fall down and wor-
ship the work of their neighbours' hands—steam-engines,
electric telegraphs and printing presses. They are so het-
pressed by the wonders produced by these and other
machines, that they get to look upon'science as a sort of
god---a blind, arbitrary, capricious deity, who may per-
form at any moment any strange unreasonable prodigy.
They are so overcome by electric telegraphs that they
haave no objection to urge against rapping spirits.
If n American can speak to you from the other
side of the Atlantic, why may not a friend speak
to you from the other side of the grave? The following
anecdote typifies the weaknesses of a higher class of society
than that to
wwheinehin nitseheerrn

parish,boo
:—A
vicar
was visited, h
who administered to him appropriate spiritual advice with
with more energy than success. After much ineffectual
admonition, the dying man replied to the following effect,
in a feeble voice, and a dialect which cannot be reproduced
on paper:—" What with faith, and what with the earth
a-turning round the sun, and what with the railroads
a-fuzzing and a-whuzzing, I'm clean storied, muddled, and
beat." These were his last words. They sum up with
great emphasis the intellectual results of scientic discovery
on a great part of mankind.

The present Australian advices mention that a
movement was on foot to introduce the cultivation of to-
bacco, for which the climate and soil are considered by
many persons to be eminently suitable. The Board of Agri-
culture in Victoria have offered s premium of £4O for the
best sample. The average annual value of tobacco and
cigars imported into the colony of Victoria during the last
I five years has been £212,000, and the hope is not only that
this quantity may be obtained of colonial growth, but also a
large surplus far exportation,
AN INTERESTING SWINDLER.--The Tribunal of
Correctional Police yesterday tried a young woman calling
herself Lucie Brun d'Aubignos, though her real name is
Louise Vigurie, on three several charges of theft, swind-
ling, and assuming false titles. It was stated that some
weeks ago a gentleman walking in the Tuileries garden, saw
the prisoner weeping as if in great distress, He inquired
what was the matter, and she stated that she was' the
daughter of a noble family who had placed her in a con-
vent, where she had been ill-treated, and had consequently
run away; that she had got to Paris that morning, but
tound herself in great desti.ution, and saw no other
resource but suicide. Touched by her distress, he
offered to find her an asylum, and placed her as a
boarder in a family residing in the Rue Coq-Heron. He
afterwards offered to marry her, and was accepted, but she
proposed that the marriage should not be celebrated until
she had attained her majority. In the meantime, however,
she borrowed money of the family where she lodged, and
ono day left without saying a word, and at the same time
I,ooof. in bank notes disappeared from the desk of the
master of the house. She was suspected of the theft, and
soon afterwards arrested, when it was ascertained that she.
.vas the daughter of a forest-keeper, and had been working
as a needlewoman at Toulon, until her bad conduct compelled
her employer to discharge her. The Tribunal decided that
the evidence was not sufficient to prove the charge of theft,
but d clared her guilty of assuming false titles as well as of
swindlii2g, and sentenced her to four mouths' imprisonment.

71IE NAVY.

The whole of the vessels in the ship beisin in Ports-
mouth dockyard were removed yesterday, and
placed at temporary berths in the harbour, for the
purpose of enabling the authorities to pump out the
water from the basin and No. 4 Dock, the floor of
the latter having been blown up by the pressure of
water under its sill from the basin, as reported in
The Sun of yesterday. The floor of the dock is
being lowered 5 feet, to a level with its entrance,
which was completed some months back. Messrs.
Abeolom are the contractors.
The conversion of the Royal Sovereign, shield
ship, slowly progresses. A few workmen are em-
ployed completing her remarkably ugly but per.
haps useful stern ; a few more are at work about
her beams and a few odd jobs about her decks, and
some half-dozen have just begun setting up the
mould battens for the " pilot-house" forward of the
funnel. Whoever may be to blame, the ship's con-
version progresses at a wonderfully slow pace, and,

.. .
if no more energy is given to the work than exists

at present, the Royal Sovereign will make her first
essay about the time that the shield principle is
superseded by some other form.

The compasses of the screw steam frigate Severn,
51, Commodore F. B. Montresor, now in Plymouth
Sound, were adjusted on Saturday, and she will
leave shortly for her station, the East Indies. The
Severn takes out a new crew for the screw steam
sloop Pantaloon, 11, lately commanded by Com-
mander William R. Hobson.

Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, ii.C.B.,
having left Plymouth for a short time on leave of
absence, his duty devolves on Admiral Sir Thos.
Pasley, Superintendent of the Devonport Dock-
yard, who shifted his flag on Friday from the
Indus to the Royal Adelaide.

Letters received at Chatham yesterday announce
the arrival of her Majesty's screw steamer Cadmus,
21, 400-horse power, at Fortress Monroe, Hampton
Itiver, on the 26th ult., after leaving Bermuda on
the 19th of August. Me Jason, 21, 400-horse, on
being relieved by the Cadmus, sailed for Bermuda
on the 28th ult.

The Royal Oak, 50, 1,000 horse power, shipped
her iron lower masts in Chatham harbour yester-
day, and had them placed on end, a number of the
hands having been despatched from the dockyard
to assist in the operation;
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—H. Yorke, master, addi-
tional to the Cumberland, for the Columbine ; W.
Eden, R. W. Watt, and W. Otoley have been nomi-
nated to naval cadetships.
The required number of volunteers for service at
Bermuda having been obtained from the several

divisions of Royal Marines, volunteering has now
been closed. The number of Marines to be de-
spatched to Bermuda will be about 100, the officers
selected to accompany them being Capt. F. W.
Thomas and First Lieut. J. R. Mascall, of the
Chatham division.

ADELPHI.

The highly-interesting little drama, " One Touch of
Nature," was revived here last evening—Mr. Benjamin
Webster, of course, sustaining his original part of Mr. Penn
Holder. Excepting Triplet, in "Masks and Faces," we
know of no character that affords Mr. Webster such scope
for the exhibition of his powers as an actor as the old
prompter in this interesting little trifle. The audience
was perfectly enchanted with the truthfulness of his acting,
and gave vent to their admiration by the loudest applause.
Miss Simms and Mr. Billington sustained their parts with
their usual excellence. Miss Avonia Jones, we understand,
re-appears very shortly in Buckstone's celebrated drama,
" The Green Bushes."

STRAND.

Last night a new comic drama in two acts, called, " My
Son's a Daughter," was produced here. The story turns
upon the midnight adventures of a certain rollicking king's
trumpeter, who made love in the dark to a young village
maiden and an old village maid, to the great disgust of the
guardian of the former, who wishes to marry his dependent.
After giving rise to considerable village scandal by the
avowal of his night's adventures, he marries the young
woman, but not before discovering that she is the child of
an old comrade whom he had sworn to seek and protect
under the belief that the orphan was a boy. The principal
parts were sustained by Miss Josephs, Mrs. Poynter, Mr.
Parselle, and Mr. Turner, with much success. The an-
nouncement of the piece for repetition every evening was
received with the loudest applause.

LAW---THiS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque resumed his sittings to-
day, and Was the only commissioner.

WINCH.
This bankrupt was described as of Danish-street, Bethnal-
green, timber merchant, and this was an examination
meeting.

The accounts show Debtor to eralitor, 51,557; liabilities
on bills discounted, £671, which ought to be paid by accep-
tors; property given up, £l,lll 14s. 3d. Good debts esti-
mated at £lO3.

An adjournment was taken by consent.
His Honour did not sit in court during the morning, and
the cases before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt were of no interest.
Mr. Commissioner Goulburn has left for the remainder
of his vacation, and will not sit again until the 16th of
October.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
A NEF,VOUS PHOTOGRAPHER.-CURIOUS DEFENCE,

OVEN V. HORSEY.

This was an action to recover wages in lieu Of notice,
plaintiff being a photographic operator, and defendant pro-
prietor of the rooms.
Plaintiff said that he had been engaged by defendant to
act as artist, and he was entitled to notice. Defendant,
however, bad summarily dismissed him.
Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—Did he not complain
that you were incompetent ?
Plaintiff—He would not give me time to finish the pic-
tures properly.

A bundle of portraits were here produced, and Mr.
Buchanan said, "Now, did not that gentleman refuse to
take his picture ?"
Plaintiff—Yes ; but while I was operating the defendant
came to the door, and made me so nervous that I told him
if he did not cease interfering, I must shut the door against
him.

His Honour having inspected the pictures complained of,
did not think any gentleman would be satisfied with them,
and if plaintiff was nervous, he should not complain of de-
fendant's refusal to employ him. Upon the whole, de-
fendant was entitled to a verdict.
Verdict for defendant.
THE LATE CASE OF SELLING A HUSBAND FOR £l5.
It may be remembered that a case (Litchfield v. Brandt)
was recently tried at this court, in which the plaintiff
sought to recover £l5 for the introduction of a husband to
defendant's daughter. The judge not only declared such
bargains were illegal and not binding in this country, but
awarded costs to the defendant. The plaintiff did not pay
the costs, and to-day was ai•pointed for the hearing of a
judgment summons.

Plaintiff did not appear, and Mr. Brandt (defendant's son)
said that plaintiff had formerly been a printer at Spottis-
woode's, but had gone away since the issuing of this sum-
mons. He could, however, pay if he liked.
His Honour then ordered plaintiff to be committed for
four days.
