THE WAR.

steerage of the Majestic, 81, on her passage to the
Downs. She left Sheerness on Saturday last, at 6.30
a.m., under easy steam ; at 730, full steam power was
set on with a 20-lb pressure, the engines at the time
making 50 revolutions per minute, the engines working
very well ; at 8 a.m. it was found necessary to stop on
account of thick weather, and she was compelled to anchor
near the Mouse light-vessel. At this time it blew very
hard from north-north-east, and she remained at
anchor until the following day, when she weighed at 10
a.m., and proceeded with full steam against a strong,
head wind, the engines working admirably in every re-
spect. She ran the distance from the Mouse in five
hours and 10 minutes, against a very strong wind ;
average steam pressure 141 b., revolutions 48 per minute ;
vacuum in condensers 25 inches; stroke of piston 3 feet;
diameter of cylinder 64 inches ; screw propeller, with
two blades, variable pitch, from 20 to 22 feet diameter,
of ditto 17 feet ; load draught on leaving Sheerness,
with masts, rigging, guns, shot, shell, powder, pro-
visions and water, engines, boilers, coals, and water
in boilers, above 1,800 tons, including stores of every
description • draft aft 26 feet 5 inches ; and forward 24
feet 11 inches. She steers remarkably well. 100 fine
smart disciplined A. B.s have been put on board from
the Centaur, now lying In the Downs, and just returned
from the south-east coast of America. The engines
fitted in the Majestic occupy very little space, thereby
giving considerable more room for stowage and ac-
commodation, and they have proved to be substan-
tially put together, combining compactness with light
weight—two great considerations in marine engines.
The Simoom, 18, screw steam frigate, Captain Smith,
has been completed with much expedition by the ship-
wright department of Portsmouth dockyard, and will be
ready for further troop service in a few days, which is
much sooner than was expected. The engineer staff of
the establishment are now employed upon hermost vigo-
rously.
The remaining detachment of the Bth Hussars left the
Topsham Barracks, Exeter, en route for Plymouth, yes-
terday morning. The band of the 3d Dragoons accom-
panied them through the streets of the city and played
several military airs. Most of the soldiers carried
branches of laurel in their hands, and cheered heartily
in reply to the acclamations of the people who lined the
way. The men seemed in excellent spirits. Some of
the officers of the 3d Dragoons accompanied them a
short distance out of the city.
Orders were aeceived yesterday morning by the Ports-
mouth dockyard authorities to prepare slings, hammocks,
&c., for the embarkation there of the 13th Light Dra-
goons, who are to embark at Portsmouth for Turkey
about the 4th proximo.
The troop frigate (screw) Megnra, Commander J. 0.
Johnson, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning at
11, and Spithead in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, with 350
of the 38th Foot for Constantinople. The head-quar-
ters of the regiment embarked in the Melbourne, at
Chatham, on the 25th.

DEATH 0

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
We learn by our correspondence from Malta of the
19th that the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
frigate Himalaya arrived there on the night of the 18th
inst., in three days from Constantinople, being the most
rapid passage on record.
The Himalaya, which left Malta at 7 p.m. on the
10th inst., with the 33d and 41st Regiments on board,
in number 1,850 souls, reached Gallipoli on the 13th
at noon. Soon afterwards the Emeu arrived with the
4th Regiment, and in the course of the day the Cambria
and Indus. Brigadier-General Adams immediately
landed, and visited General Sir George Brown, who ac-
companied him back to the ship, to which orders were
conveyed to proceed to Constantinople. Having re-
ceived on board Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-
General Captain the Hon. A. Hardinge, Coldstream
Guards, and 24 women of the 33d and 41st Regiments,
the Himalaya left in consequence at 10 p.m. of the same
day. In the Sea of Marmora she encountered very
severe weather, accompanied by heavy snow showers.
At 11 a.m. of the 14th she anchored at Constantinople.
On that day it blew a gale of wind, and the thermometer
went down to 38 degs. General Adams proceeded
at once to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and shortly after
returned with orders to cross over to Scutari and dis-
embark the troops. Early on the morning of the 15th
the Himalaya went across and anchored close in to the
shore. At 9 a.m. the disembarkation commenced with
the 41st Regiment by means of a small steamer and
large boats. The arrangements made by the officers of
the commissariat department (Assistant-Commissary-
Generals Smith and Strickland, with their staff) were
excellent, and by 3 p.m. all _the troops and baggage
and most of the stores were landed and housed in com-
fortable barracks, capable of containing from 8,000 to
10,000 men.
By 6 p.m. the horses were landed, and the officers
of the two regiments having returned to take their
last dinner on board, shortly after took their leave of
the captain, to whom they expressed themselves in
the warmest terms for the comforts they had enjoyed,
and the liberal manner in which they had been en-
tertained.
The weather was intensely cold, and the troops
under canvas at Gallipoli, and in the vicinity, are
said to be suffering severely from the inclemency of
the weather. There are there, or in the neighbourhood
encamped 20,000 French and 5,000 British soldiers.
Brigadier Tylden, R.E., is reported sick at Therapia ;
Major Dickson' R.A., with Lieutenant Burke, R.E., and
Lieutenant Wellesley, Coldstream Guards, had just re-
turned from a tour in Bulgaria. They saw Omer Pasha
at Shumla, and passed the Balkan. While proceeding
along the banks of the Danube, they were frequently
fired upon by the Russians at their outposts with Minie
rifles. Lieutenant Burke was nearly hit on one occasion.
Deputy Inspector of Hospitals Linton, with another
medical officer, is on a tour in Bulgaria and Roumelia.
On Monday night, off 'Lea,, the Himalaya passed the
Niagara, with troops, bound upwards and at Gallipoli
a man-of-war steamer, with troops, was seen, which is
believed to have been the Cyclops.
The troops to remain at Gallipoli, under command of
General Sir George Brown, are the 4th, 28th, 44th, 50th,
and Rifle Brigade. All the remainder are to leave for
Scutari.
On the 21st, from Malta, we learn that the three bat-
talions of the Guards, after having waited the arrival of
the Caradoc from Marseilles, with Lord Raglan, were
ordered to embark—the Grenadiers in the Golden Fleece.
the Coldstream Guards in the Vulcan, and the Scots
Fusiliers in the Kangaroo, an order which was carried
out with the utmost regularity. At an early hour on
the 22d the Golden Fleece and Vulcan put to sea ; the
Kangaroo followed some time after. As the vessels
moved out, the adieus of the troops left behind were
given in the most enthusiastic manner.
From want of room in the ships to convey the whole
of the men, some few were left behind to proceed by
the first opportunity ; these amount to not more than
70. Their immediate destination is Gallipoli, on reach-
ing which place they are to be under the temporary
orders of Sir George Brown, who, it is expected,
will send them on to Scutari, without allowing them

On Tuesday the two divisions of the 14th Regiment,
numbering 325 men each, left Merchant's-quay in the
Prince Arthur, for Queenstown—the first embarked at
7 o'clock in the morning, and the second at 12. They
were accompanied to the, quay on both occasions by the
band of the regiment, which played animated and ap-
propriate airs. The people, who were assembled in vast
numbers to witness their departure, cheered them loudly
as they left, and showed other marks of enthusiasm by
showering in on them an immense supply of oranges.
At 3 o'clock 168 men of the 89th Regiment and 16
women sailed under the command of Major Barlow,
in the Royal Alice. Both regiments are to embark
in the transport Bombay; bound for Malta, whence they
will proceed to the seat of war.

The vessels that had arrived at Malta within the few
days preceding the 22d were the Niagara, with the 88th
Regiment ; the Trent, with the 23d Fusileers ; the
Orinoco, with the 7th Fusileers ; the Tonning, with the
staff of General Sir Colin Campbell ; the City of Lon-
don, with Brigadier-General Sir De Lacy Evans, and
his staff ; the Medway, with the 95th Regiment ; the
Emperor with the staff of Lord Raglan, Sir Robert Eng-
land, Brigadier-General Cator, and part of the 19th
Regiment. Besides these, the French had increased
their contingent by two fine bodies of cavalry and horse
artillery. All the vessels except the Tonning arrived
without accident ; she, however, suffered some damage
to her paddle-wheels ; her floats had been taken off, and
she was towed by the Trent to her destination. No
delay had, therefore, been incurred.
On the afternoon of the 20th, by the French steam-
corvette Roland, from Toulon, arrived his Imperial
Highness Prince Napoleon, accompanied by a brilliant
staff, among whom were Colonels Desmarets, Braniski,
and Roman, General Prim, and his Excellency Salih
Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador. Signor Dulong,
celebrated artist, accompanied his Imperial Highness.
At five o'clock the Prince landed at the Customhouse,
and was received by his Excellency the Governor, in
full uniform, wearing his hard-earned medals. A guard
of honour, supplied by the Buffs, received his Imperial
Highness, who, having entered the Governor's carriage,
proceeded to inspect the fortifications, and did not reach
the Palace till after six o'clock, where was another guard
of honour, supplied by the 68th Light Infantry. After
remaining a few minutes at the Palace, the Prince, at-
tended by his Excellency the Governor and his staff,
visited the splendid church of St. John. On his return
he dined with his Excellency, and at 10 o'clock ho-
noured. the Opera with his presence. He retired at the
end of the third act, and on leaving was vociferously
cheered by the crowd that had assembled.
The Prince and his suite embarked at midnight for
the East. On his arrival two Royal salutes were fired
—one from Fort St. Angelo, and one of the flag-ship.
The Cyclops, towing in the Vesuvius from Gallipoli,
arrived on the morning of the 22d.
The Caradoc had not been telegraphed from Mar-
seilles.
The Valetta, with part of the India mail sent through
France, had just arrived.
Another letter announces the forts of Odessa to have
fired on a flag of truce, carried by Lieutenant Alexander,
of the Furious. On a report made to Admiral Dundas,
and on his resolution being known to weigh for Odessa,
the ships manned yards and three hearty cheers were
raised. It is resolved to destroy all the forts on the
Circassian coast.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE ROYAL AL
BERT, 131, SCREW STEAM-SHIP.—The Royal Victoria
and Albert steam-yacht has been ordered round from
Portsmouth to Woolwich for the accommodation of the
Queen and the Royal Family on the occasion of the
launch of the Royal Albert screw steam-ship, on the
13th of May next, at one o'clock p.m. The Royal Vic-
toria and Albert steam-yacht will be moored alongside
the wharf wall on the north-west side of the slip on
which the Royal Albert has been built, and immediately
adjoining the new factory storehouse, where a large space
has been partitioned off into two receiving rooms for
the express use of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the Royal Family and suite. Mr. Wakeling, the
Admiralty upholsterer, has received instructions
to prepare the rooms in the finezt, style for her
Majesty's reception ; and should the weather prove
favourable on the day of the launch, the scene will be
of the grandest description. Tickets will be issued to
the number of upwards of 5,000 for ladies, exclusively
of the nobility and gentry, who will be accommodated
with seats in the booths on the sides of the vessel.
Those having tickets will be admitted at the gates so
early as ten o'clock, and the factory gate will be open
exclusively for those entering in carriages. The public
will be admitted at half-past eleven a.m., which will
give ample time to select their positions before the launch
takes place at one o'clock.
STOCKHOLM, April 20. On the evening of the 18th
instant, it was officially communicated from the Foreign
Office here, in consequence of an official communication
from the British mission, that Sir Charles Napier, with
the fleet under his command, had sailed from Kioge Bay
to make the necessary arrangements for a strict blockade
of the Russian Baltic ports, as also of the whole of the
coasts of the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia.

as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre-

CKBURN.

(From, the Caledonian -Mercury of yesterday.)
Another of our men of mark, whose names and cha-
racters were the distinction and the pride of Scotlana,
has passed away.
It is our melancholy task to announce that Henry
Cockburn—for by that name Lord Cockburn will be
proudly and affectionately remembered—died at Bonaly,
near Edinburgh, yesterday morning.
He opened the Circuit Court at Ayr on Tuesday, the
18th of this month. Being rather indisposed, he was
relieved by Lord Ivory of the arduous duty of presiding
at the trial for murder, which occupied nearly two days ;
but, after the conviction, the sentence of death was pro-
nounced by Lord Cockburn. It was the last judicial
act which he performed ; and none who heard him will
ever forget it. Brief, gentle, simple, solemn, it was an
exquisite specimen of the pathetic eloquence in which
he was unrivalled. Many eyes filled with tears as the
touching tones of that matchless voice fell on the listen-
ing ears of a crowded audience, when he urged—not
harshly but kindly, the unhappy man whom he ad-
dressed, to use aright the few fleeting days between him
and eternity, and make his peace with God through
Jesus Christ. Ere one short week has passed, the judge,
who pronounced the sentence, and urged the use of time's
swift-winged hours, has anticipated the man whom he
condemned, and has been summoned from the judgment-
seatoneasrotlhemton, a

ally became anxious to possess land and abolish rent, ash()
had previously abolished the malt tax. lie found eut
that the laud for which he gay:a five shillings a-yard,
the vendor had only given about fivepence, the difference
being caused by the simple fact that he (Taylor) bought a
pprtion, while the vendor had purchased the whole of the
estate. The result of this knowledge was the present free-
hold movement. This society offered to every man, how-
ever humble, the means of possessing a freehold that he
could leave to his children, and they could leave to their
children. Nothing could afford a more secure or profitable
investment; And in a few words he would prove that asser-
tion. They were more. secure than savings' banks ; people
were beginnin to find that they were not safe as they
imagined. Mr. Cobden had. said nothing could be so secure
as land, as it could not sun away. (Laughter.) He (Mr.
Smith) had heard of people swallowing it, but he had never
heard of an sere of land running away from England to
Australia. (Laughter.) To prove that it was in the power
of every one to possess land, he knew of labouring men earn•
ing only between seven and eight shillings a-week, who
were not only the owners of the land, but they would soon
begin to build their own houses on that land. If working men
would only begin to save their shillings and sixpences at
the year's end—they would be astonished with what they
had done, and the way to save money was to " begin at
once." (Cheers.) With regard to freehold land societies
being profitable investments, he happened to know that
on one of the estates of this society, situate at Anerley, a
member had paid only 31., and he had been offered 501.
premium for the right he possessed. Now, if anything
could be more profitable than that, he should feel obliged
for the information. (Cheers.) Any person wishing to
dispose of his right could do so, as a book for the registry of
right for sale was kept open for him at the office. There
was no responsibility attached to joining a freehold land
society, and should the member wish to withdraw the
money he had lodged, he could do so on giving a few days'
notice, and receive at the same time 5 per cent. interest.
(Cheers.) To show the success that the society had met
with from the public, he would mention that since its
foundation, in August last, they had issued between three
and four thousand shares. After explaining the three
modes of acquiring land in this society, viz., paid-up
shares, seniority, and the ballot, Mr. Smith then said he
should feel a pleasure in answering the questions of any
gentleman, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause.
Various questions having been asked, and satisfactorily

on us.
It is not now, in the first fresh grief of such a bereave-
ment, that we can even attempt to pourtray the cha-
racter and genius of Lord Cockburn.
The last, or nearly the last, survivor of that brilliant
group of Whig barristers who so signally adorned the
legal profession and the political history of Scotland—
the sharer of the friendship, the principles, and the la-
bours of Horner, Jeffrey, Moncreiff, Murray, and Ful-
lerton—he was, from early youth, in despite of family
connections and opposing influences, the ardent, unflinch-
ing, yet temperate and judicious, friend of civil and re•
ligious liberty, and of those liberal principles of which he
lived to see the triumph, and hear the universal recogni-
tion.
In the earlier period of the struggle none could escape
hostility ; but for many long years he had surrounded
himself with friends of all parties ; and of him it may be
said, as of Professor Wilson, that every political differ-
ence had long been forgotten in generous admiration and
regard. As a pleader, especially in criminal causes or
jury trials, we shall never again see the equal of Mr.
Cockburn. Jeffrey alone, and that only on some occa-
sions, approached him. His sagacity, his brevity, his
marvellous power of expression—so homely, yet so truly
and touchingly eloquent, his mingled pathos and humour,
his winning Scottish manner, his masterly analysis of
evidence, and the intense earnestness, not the less effec-
tive that it was visibly chastened and restrained, with
which he identified himself with his client, made his
appeals to Scottish juries always powerful and frequently
resistless.
As a judge, lie was distinguished by his skilful detec-
tion of falsehood in principle or in evidence, by breadth
and distinctiveness of view, not unfrequently receiving
the confirmation of the House of Lords on appeal, by
his graceful and luminous exposition, by purity and im-
partiality of character, and by uniform affability and
courtesy of demeanour.
As a citizen, his name is associated with everything
which adorns the metropolis of Scotland, for in his
sound sense, good taste, and universal popularity, his
fellosv-citizens were wont to seek and find a safe guide
in civic improvement and a sure guarantee of public
favour.

Lady Lucy Butler, by her mother, the Countess of Car-
rick.

Within the smaller circle of friends and relatives, on
whom this bereavement falls s• heavily, we dare not
intrude. Theirs is a grief with. which a stranger inter-
meddleth not. How kind he was, how genial, and how
charming,—and how happy lie made all who knew him,
as, in the lovely home which it was his pride and plea-
sure to adorn, he gathered his friends round his hospit-
able board, and entertained them with stores of anec-
dote, and flashes of wit, we need not say. None who
have visited Bonaly can lose the recollection of their
host.
Lord Cockburn, who was, we believe, 75 years of age,
has left a large family, and is survived by Mrs. Cock-
burn, sister of Mrs. Maitland, now the widow of Lord
Dundrennan, and of Mrs. Fullerton, now the widow of
Lord Fullerton—the three sisters having married three
young advocates, who maintained through life the
closest friendship, and all died Judges of the Supreme
Court of Scotland.
In his last short illness Lord Cockburn was attended,
as on previous occasions, by Dr. Patrick Newbigging,
an old and attached friend of the family, and also, we
understand, by Dr. Christison ; but his hour was come,
medical aid was vain, and he breathed his last surrounded
by all of his family who were in Scotland. His eldest
son, Dr. Archibald Cockburn, was expected down from
London yesterday.
The biography of Jeffrey is closed by words which
may not inaptly be applied to him who wrote them :
"As soon as it was known that he was gone, the emi-
nence of his talents, the great objects to which they had
been devoted, his elevation by gradual triumph over
many prejudices to the highest stations, even the abun-
dance of his virtues, were all forgotten in the personal
love of the man."

FREE CIETY.H TRADE FREEHOLD LAND

Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of Kingston
and its vicinity was held at the Lecture-hall, for the pur-
pose of receiving a deputation of the Free Trade Freehold
Land Society, and also to hear a statement of its plans and
operations. Among the gentlemen on the platform we ob-
served Sir H. Winston Barron, Bart., chairman of the
society ; Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq. ; Captain John
Bishop-Culpeper ; Major William Clarke Francis Vigers ;
Edmund Grattan, Esq. ; S. P. Hook, Esq. ; T. S. Smith,
Esq. John Dawson, Esq. • -- East, Esq., president of
the Mechanics' Institute, Esq.
On the motion of Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq., seconded
by Captain John Bishop-Culpeper, the chair was taken by
Sir H. W. BARRON, Bart., who, in opening the proceed-
ings of the evening, said it afforded him great pleasure in
presiding over th meeting. The society, as most of the
gentlemen present were aware, possessed a very beautiful
estate at Surbiton, and the success of the purchase of that
estate bade fair to surpass that just allotted at Auerley.
That estate had not been long—barely a month—in the
market, and now there was not a single lot to dis-
pose of. The Surbiton estate, as was well known
to most present, was very advantageously situated. It
was close to the railway station, which of itself was one
very great advantage. It was building land of the best
description, and he had not the slightst doubt but that
the selection would meet with the approbation of all those
who wished to possess a site in the neighbourhood. To
such his advice was, look to it at once, for, as in the case
above mentioned, so, he felt assured, would be the case with
this. It surely would not be required of him to dilate at
any length at this time on the benefits to be derived from
freehold land societies ; indeed, it would be a work of
supererogation for him to do so, as he felt convinced that
all present knew and appreciated their benefits. Freehold
land societies gave to the man of moderate means the
opportunity of purchasing land to build his house upon.
It also conferred upon him the right to vote ; and this
alone was looked upon with pride, however high or low
might be the estate of the possessor of that right in the
country. (Cheers.) Another of the objects of the society
was the offer of land in this locality at two-thirds the price
asked by the landowners ; and with this immense ad-
vantage that the Free Trade Freehold Land Society gave a
freehold.' (Cheers) With the political principles of the
shareholders, the society did not in the slightest manner
interfere ; it did not ask whether they were Conservatives
or Radicals, but, as far as the society was concerned, the
shareholders were free. (Cheers.) With respect to the
quarterage charged by some freehold land societies, it had
been found burdensome and irksome, and the directors
had resolved to abolish it. (Cheers.) With these few ob•
servations he would call upon Mr. Vigers to address them.
Mr. VIGERS said that freehold land societies, in many
instances, purchased two descriptions of land—T.'aio.erti-
cultural and building land, but the directors of o
intend to devote themselves to the purchase lbsusilocdinyg
land entirely. One description of laud in ordinary times,
was as good as the other ; but that, as 'he had said before,
was a question of time. In the pre nt day, surveyors
s districts would
could not say how soon land in agricultural
become building land. The Subiton Hill estate was not a
large one ; it comprised throe acres and it was divided into
29 lots. The roads were made, the drains were laid down—in
fact, it was a piece of laud of. the most desirable descrip-
tion. It was close to the railawtaysss.taantidonis.anadfolaont.d
rwriasie
society had purchased letting in the neighbourhoodasedtnel and at such a price that they
enabled to offer it to their members at from 3s. 6d. to
'svse,re
not
a leasehold, but the fee simple and conveyance were
both. included in that sum. Now, if any one was to go to
the landlord and purchase a similar piece of land as that to
be obtained through this society, he would have to pay from
201. to 30/. for the conveyance. Mr. Vigera then gave a
very succinct account of the advantages to be derived from
the purchase of laud, and stated the advantages were greatly
in favour of disposing of freehold in preference to leasehold
land. With respect to the plans of the estate, it would
afford him very great pleasure to answer any questions re-
specting them.
Major CLARKE then came forward and bristly moved the
following resolution, viz.—" That the principles on which
the Free Trade Freehold Land Society is conducted—its
freedom from political bias—entitles it to the confidence of
this meeting ; and its possession dia very desirable estate
on Surbiton Hill, for distribution among its shareholders,
presents a favourable opportunity for all interested in
this district to secure participation in the advantages it
affords" (Cheers.)
THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, Esq., in seconding the re-
solution, said he had not the slightest doubt but that it
would meet with the approbation of the meeting. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN Gentlemen, the resolution having
been moved by Major Clarke, and seconded by T. C. Grat-
tan, Esq., it is now my duty to put it to the meeting for
its adoption.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said he would now, with the permission
of the meeting, call upon Mr. Smith to address a few obser-
vations to them.
Mr. SMITH said he felt great pleasure in addressing the
present meeting, composed as it was mostly of the indus-
trious classes, for it was by one of that class that freehold
land societies were first established. The success that had
attended their first establishment was wonderful, and a
revolution had been wrought, both morally, socially,
and
politically, that the country never e,xpected. To Mr.
Taylor, of Birmingham, belonged the honour of bein the
founder of societies such as the Free Trade Freehold Laud
Society, and the manner in which it occurred to him was
