steerage of the Majestic, 81, on her passage to the
Downs. She left Sheerness on Saturday last, at 6.30
2111., under easy steam ; at 7.30, full steam power was
set on with a 20-lb pressure, the engines at the tithe
making 50 revolutions per,minnte, 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 distanee 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 leaiing Sheerness,

visions and water, engines, boilers, coals, and water

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 her most vigo-
rously.
The remaining detachment of the Bth Hue ors 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 arid 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 31 Dragoons accompanied theta a
short distarce out of the city.
Orders were aecmived 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 ;or 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.

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, aid showed other marks of enthusiasm by
showering in on them an immense supply of eranges.
At 3 o'clock 168 men of the 89th Regiment and 16
women sailed under the commend 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 newly built 30,-gun scrow-frigate, Curacoa arrived
at. Spithead yesterday morning from Pembroke under
jury rig, and has gone into Portsmouth- harbour, to be
equipped for commission with all possible despatch.
She is a remarkably handsome ship.
On Saturday the head-quarters' division, band and
colours, of the 17th Regiment (Leicestershire), under
the command of Lieut.-Colonel Philip M'Pherson,
arrived from Templemore, to await transports, daily
expected, for their conveyance to Malta. The depot
of the 47th Regiment, from Birr, replaces the 17th
Regiment at Templernore.
The depot of the 62d (Wiltshire) Regiment, stationed
at Fermoy, under command of Major William Mathias,
has received orders to proceed to Cork and await trans-
ports for Malta, to join the service companies.
The 63d (West Suffolk) Regiment, under command of
Lieut.-Colonel E. S. T. Swyny, is expected to arrive
from Dublin in a few days, to be stationed in Cork
Barracks.
The 46th, at Kilkenny, have received orders to embark
forthwith for Liverpool.
Although the depot of the 13th Regiment has been
but a few months stationed in Clonmel, between 100
and 200 recruits have been enlisted. In fact, the depot
consists'almost entirely of young hands.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE ROYAL AL.
BERT, 131, SCREIV STKAM-SHIP.—The Royal Victoria
and Albeetrioteam-yacht has .beett ordered aliatiffrom
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 fined 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 Ktoge 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.

CICBURN.

-
(Prom the Caledonian Mercury of yesterday.)
Another of our men of mark, whose names and cha-
racters were the distinction and the pride of Scotland,
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.
Ile 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
be 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 froni the judgment-
"at on earth to appear at the tribunal of Heaven. An
event
a lesson so striking, should not be lost

OD us.
It is not now, in the first fresh grief of such a bereave-
ment, that we can even attempt to pourix ay the cha-
racter and geuius 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 Sc
the sharer of the friendship, the principles, and the la-
hours 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 lit
said, as of Professor Wilson, that every political differ
-ence had long been forgotten in generous admiration am
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. Nis 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, tot 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
fellow-citizens were wont to seek and find a safe guide
in civic improvement and a sure guarantee of public

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 :
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."

centration of the Muscovite forces hitherto scat- (
tered about the Principalities. Together with
which accounts, moreover, we receive others, to
the effect that the soldiers of the AUTOCRAT,
already conducted across the Danube, are strongly
foltifying themselves in the Dobrudscha. There is,
in fact, an evident system and a manifest consist-
ency so far in the tactics of Prince GORTSCHABOFF
and PASKIEWITCH. But Europe has yet to recognise
anything but confusion and inconsistency, and
dilatoriness and indecision, in the curious plans
process of being carried
foourt abeay milligninowßAGLANin and Marshal St. ARNAUD.
Where, too ? In Roumelia, and not in Bulgaria!
Not anywhere near the seat of war along the
,
banks of the Danube or in advance of the
Balkan Mountains ; but, with head-quarters
at Adrianople, and camps at Buyukdere,
on the Bosphorus, and at Gallipoli on the Darda-
nelles ! It is insisted, of course, that time ought
to be allowed before judging of the tactics of the
I allied Commanders-in-Chief. But that is just it.
Time enough and to spare has already been con-
ceded, and as yet we are only, as it were, at the
commencement of our military preparations. Our
maritime preparations have long since been com-
pleted, and that, too, on a scale, it must
be allowed, adequate for almost any emer-
gency, and altogether magnificent. Whereas,
we repeat it, we are only now at the commence-
ment of our military preparations. The French
contingent is to be increased to 150,000 men in
the aggregate. Ours must be increased in like
manner proportionately. As yet England has
only arranged to send out to the East, against the
gigantic hordes of the Russian AUTOCRAT, from
25,000 to 30,000 soldiers. France as yet
has merely undertaken to supply 50,000 to
60,000 altogether. Of these-25,000 French
and 10,000 English have already been dis-
embarked at Gallipoli. Now, it is quite ob-
vious, even to the non-professional observer, that
this system is altogether inadequate to the emer-
gency. The contingents sent from the Western
Allies of the SULTAN to his aid in his own
dominions must—there is no doubt whatever
of this, if we really intend to vanquish the
enormous forces of the Russian AUTOCRAT
—be increased, and that, too, very con-
siderably. The French army of the East must
be increased, as we are told it is actually going to
be increased from 50,000 or 60,000 to 150,000
men altogether. The English army in the East
ought, in proportion, therefore, to be increased in
its turn from 25,000 or 30,000 to an aggregate
of 70,000 or 80,000. While, instead of landing
them at Gallipoli, or at Buyukdere, we ought to
disembark these troops at some point of the Turk-
ish coast, from which the actual scene of fighting
would be more accessible than from an out-of-the-
way seaport on the Bosphorus or the Dardanelles.

The day of humiliation and prayer has been
generally observed throughout the country. In
every church and chapel, not merely those belong-
ing to the Anglican Church, but of every sect and
denomination, supplications have been addressed
to the CREATOR and PRESERVER of Mankind for his
aid and protection throughout the contest in which
we have reluctantly been involved. The nation
has prostrated itself before the ALMIGHTY ; and
whatever differences of substance or of form might
' exist in other respects, the tenour and effect of the
general prayer was the same—for His omnipotent
help and assistance so long as we had truth and
justice on our side.
It was a great and solemn observance !—one
deserving of the highest praise, or of unmitigated
censure. It was truly laudable, if as a nation we
were resolved to use all earthly means to bring
the war to a speedy and honourable termination,
and to remove the causes by which it has been
occasioned. But if otherwise—if we neglect the
obvious precautions demanded by the existing cir-
cumstances—it
has been but a hypocritical mock-
ery, which had far better been omitted. The
admirable letter of Lord PALMERSTON, in
which he pointed out the necessity of cleansing
and purifying our towns—of removing the pre-
disposing causes of cholera—before we ventured
on a day of national humiliation and prayer for
the purpose of imploring the DEITY to avert a
scourge which we had reason to believe was to a
great degree, if not altogether, under our own
power and control, is peculiarly applicable to, and
might have been written for, the occasion now
referred to.

Let us profit by the instructive lesson ! Let
us look to the original causes of the hostilities in
which we are now engaged, and see whether we
are indeed giving proofs of our sincerity by striving
to remove or mitigate these causes. Have we as yet
exhibited the energy and -activity necessary to
convince the AUTOCRAT that we are really in ear-
nest, and that ample retribution will be exacted
for the evils occasioned by his overweening ambi-
tion and grasping cupidity? Do we not still tolerate
at the head of our Administration the AUTOCRAT'S
" friend of forty years' standing," the man with
whom "he could settle everything in ten minutes'
conversation ?" How can we, while Lord ABER-
DEEN is Premier, guiding the helm of the vessel of
State, dare to ask the interposition of the GOD-
HEAD ? While the real power rests in the hands
of the popular representatives, and while the voice
of public opinion so loudly and unequivocally pro-
claims the true state of the national feeling, we
do nothing to remove the incubus that has para-
lysed our efforts, and rendered war inevitable.
It is absurd to say that a change in the Cabinet
would prove prejudicial to the interests of the
British empire, or of our faithful and deeply-
injured ally, the SULTAN. Has not Lord ABER:
DEEN, ever since the declaration of war on the
part of England, declared, in his place in the
House of Peers, that he considered that " the
apprehensions of the Emperor (NICHOLAS) were
well founded?" Has he not, in his very last
official speech, announced that, like the ancient
Covenanter, he would, even while buckling on
his armour, continue to murmur " Peace, peace !"
What will be the effect on NICHOLAS when read-
ing these "sayings," which are so totally different
from our " doings ?" Unfortunately for himself,
and the myriads of serfs who humble themselves
before his footstool, he does not understand the
power of " the pressure from without," and the
irresistible influence of the popular feeling. He
conceives the Minister of the day all-powerful ;
and, when he sees that we still maintain our mo-
netary code with unabated stringency, and lay
down the principle that, while we do so, we will
not only compel the present generation to bear
the entire expenses of the war, but even make
them liquidate the debts contracted in a past cen-
tury, he must think that the advisers of the
Crown are only practising the deception in which
he is himself so skilful an adept. The war has
been occasioned by the vacillation and timidity of
Lord ABERDEEN—the war will be protracted, and
its horrors aggravated, by the same causes ; and
if we would avert these evils and deserve the
Divine aid, which we have so earnestly implored,
we should with equal unanimity demand the re-
moval of Lord ABERDEEN from the place for
which he is disqualified by his Russian predilec-
tions.

If we remember right, it was the Times itself
which, after doing its best to force Lord JOHN
RUSSELL to give up his Reform Bill, kindly ad-
vised him to adopt all such particular reforms as
might be carried in virtue of their individual
merits, or which at least were not of a nature to
imperil the existence of a Cabinet. Our contem-
porary was not always of this opinion. He was
accustomed to bid working reforraers wait L,-)rd
JOl 'S time. Now he has adopted it, we hope Ile
will urge it with his wonted pertinacity and vigoi
1 For ourselves it has always been our creed, th at
any g,eol reform proposal ought to be vigorously
sustained by all honest reformers ; and we have,
in our own judgment, tested the sincerity of libe-
-1 ral professions verymuch by the contempt of those t
Iwho made them for the customary shuffles by t
which the double-faced endeavour to vote with the
Tories, and to call themselves
