NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Royal Mail Steampacket Company's ship Orinoco,
Captain Wilson, arrived at Southampton yesterday morn-
ing, from Constantinople, Malta, and Gibraltar, having
been employed in conveying the fith Royal Fusileers to
the former place from Southampton. She left Constan-
tinople on the 22d of April, and passed the following
steamers in the Dardanelles, bound up :—The Royal
Mail Steampacket Company's ship Trent, having the
steamer Tonning in tow ; the Medway, belonging to the
same company ; the Emperor, and the Arabian. On the
24th of April, off the Island of Cerigo, she passed the
General Screw Company's ship Golden Fleece, steering
N.E. A large fleet of transports had arrived at Malta,
and sailed again with a strong fair wind. On the 28th
of April the Orinoco met, off Malta, the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Rajah ; and, on the 29th of
April, in lat. 38 N., long. 9 E., the British screw-
steamer Andes, and the ships Otter and Memphis, steer-
ing to the eastward. Three transports, Nos. 49, 50,
and 51, were lying in Gibraltar when the Orinoco left;
and she passed the following vessels in the Straits :
The Bombay, No. 24 ; the Eveline, No. 31; and trans-
port No. 26 (name not ascertained).
It is not yet known whether the Orinoco will again
be employed in the transport service, but it is most pro-
bable that the Government will engage her.
The French sailing line-of-battle ship of 90 guns
Breslaw, Captain Bosse, left Sheerness yesterday at 8
a.m., assisted by two steam-vessels lashed alongside, in
consequence of which the salutes to the Admiral's flag
and the fort were dispensed with.
'Unfortunately, yesterday morning, when guying down
their new jib-boom, the stay purchase not being sup-
port enough, they sprung it.
Information was given to the Captain Superintendent
Christopher Wyvill, and, although on Sunday, a new
jibboom was made in the yard and sent off alongside
by 7 p.m.
The Powerful, 84, Captain Mansell, will be docked
to-day at Portsmouth to have her copper examined.
The Brisk 14, screw-corvette, Commander Seymour,
made another trial of her machinery with steam up yes-
terday (Monday) at Portsmouth. This vessel will, with
others, form a squadron to cruise in the White Sea.
A number of active, well grown lads in the Galway
Workhouse having expressed an anxious desire to ob-
tain employment in the Royal navy, the guardians came
to the resolution of applying to the Poor Law Com-
missioners, in order to obtain their sanction for the ne-
cessary arrangements.
Commodore Superintendent John Sheph2.rd has given
notice that Woolwich Dockyard will be closed after
Wednesday afternoon to the public, as otherwi,e it
would be extremely difficult to complete the preparatioLs
necessary for the launch of the Royal Albert. The gates
of the dockyard will be opened again on Saturday, May
13, at eleven o'clock, for the admission of the public
to witness the launch, which will take place at one
o'clock.
One hundred and thirteen pieces of ordnance, each gun
weighing upwards of three tons, aro forthwith to lie
transmitted to Constantinople, and the Lords of the
Admiralty have taken up a transport for their convey-
ance, in addition to 49 tons of heavy shot and CO tons
of ammunition and combustibles.
The Resistance saiii rig transport has arrived at Sheer-
ness from Deptford to complete loading provisions for
the Baltic fleets.
The Ilolyrood screw steam transport left Sheerness
on Sunday, laden with provisions for the allied fleets in
the Baltic.
The Mary Ann transport embarked Captain Holden's
troop of the 13th Light Dragoons at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning at Portsmouth Dockyard. Lieutenant
Purcell, Dr. Woodman, about 60 men, and 53 horses,
comprised this shipment.
The Negotiator transport embarked Captain Jenyn's
troop at the same time and place. This troop com-
prised Cornet Maclean, Assistant Surgeon, and about 50
men and horses. These troops marched into Portsmouth
from their billets at Farehain and lialrant, and were
enthusiastically greeted by the inhabitants of the town
as they passed through to the place of embarkation.
The wind was blowing a gale at the time the troops went
MI board, and the transports were consequently unable
to leave the harbour.
The Devonshire, which sailed from Sheerness at 3.45
p.m. on Wednesday last, arrived at the North-wall,
Dublin, on Sunday 'corning, at 7 o'clock, having on
board two officers and 120 men of the Royal Artillery,
who marched immediately to Portobello Barracks, where
they will be quartered pending further orders.
The Himalaya may be expected at Queenstown in the
course of a few days, for the purpose of taking on board
the sth Dragoon Guards, under orders for the seat of
war.

The Debats says the treaty of alliance concluded
between France and England justly makes the occupa-
tion of the Danubian principalities by Russia the start-
ing of the war. There is, then, reason it adds, to be-
lieve that, if France and England succeed in their en-
terprise, the principalities will have their share in the
treaty which will consecrate the results of the war, as
they have their share in the treaty which opens the
chances of it. No power can think of placing purely
and simply the principalities under the exclusive
protectorate of Russia, or in the sole and absolute
dependence of Turkey. The day on which peace
shall be re-established, two questions will arise re-
specting the future of the East--must the Danubian
principalities be replaced under the double protec-
torate of Turkey and Russia ? or must the common pro-
tectorate of Europe be substituted for the Turco-Russian
one ? The first system, that which would replace the
Danubian principalities in the statu quo ante bellurn,
would have the inconvenience of causing everybody to
say that it was hardly worth while going to war. They
will certainly not replace them in the state in which
they were before the war, for this state is evidently pre-
carious, and they will probably place them under the
collective protectorate of Europe, instead of the contra-
dictory protectorate of Russia and Turkey. This mea-
sure will be in conformity with the principle of the East-
ern will. The Debats then asserts that the interest of
Europe requires that the two principalities should be
formed into a neutral state like Holland or Belgium ;
and it proceeds to show as follows that it is necessary
for their safety and independence that the Black Sea
should be opened to the military power of the west.
So long as the Black Sea shall remain closed to the
navies of the west, the Danubian principalities will be
completely given up to the encroachments of Russia.
Does she desire to invade the principalities ? She invades
them when she pleases. To occupy them ? She occupies
them. Can Turkey prevent her? Turkey has become weak.
The Moldo-Wallachian populations ? They may hate and
complain, but cannot resist. We have often heard tra-
vellers blame the timidity of the Hospodars of Moldavia
and Wallachia with respect to Russia. But what could
they do ? Support them, if you wish them to resist.
But Europe can only support them by going near to
them, and she will only go near by causing the Black
Sea to become free. Open the Black Sea to the vessels
of war of Europe ; let there be no longer only two flags
floating in that sea, one strong the other weak ; free at
the same time the passage of the Sulma, at the mouth
of the Danube, from the piles of mud which nature
seems to accord with complaisance to Russian policy ;
have, in short, a river free from obstacles, and a sea
from diplomatic embarrassments, and then you will see
Moldavia and Wallachia, whether they continue to form
two Principalities, or whether they unite to form only
one, adopt the sentiments which would become the inde-
pendence which treaties have created for them.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. Terrell, and Mr. Wise, of the
common law bar, were engaged upon the opposite side,
and contended the Court had no jurisdiction in the case.
The Master of the Rolls had no doubt in his mind that
the case before the Court came within his jurisdiction ;
and these infant plaintiffs were as much within the juris•
diction, under the circumstances of their birth and pa-
rentage, as if they had been born in England with an
English father, on one day, and transported into France
or abroad on the day after, where they might take up
their future domicile. His Honour said that he was not
going to contest the authority of the equity courts of
France ; and he had his doubts how far any order of
his, under the circumstances, could be satisfactorily
carried out, considering the state in which the question
had been left by the decision of the French courts. He
still felt he was placed with respect to these two children
in loco parentis by the law of this country. His course,
therefore, was clear. He had respect especially, and so
should his judgment have respect, to the children
who were the subject of the present proceeding. They
wei e, in his opinion, notwithstanding their parentage
and. incidents, British-born subjects, and within the
jurisdiction of this court. He felt it his duty to say
Lira enough had been revealed in these proceedings to
induce a belief that if the parties were not prudent cir-
cumstances would be disclosed which would be highly
disagreeable, and even painful to the feelings of the chil-
dren of the defendants, and it would he extremely pru-
don t for the litigant .parties to reflect upon the possibility
of disclosures being made which must be painful to the
family and more particularly in after life to the younger
branches of this family. He should not hesitate to make
an order affecting person and property, but lie had no
reason to expect that any order be might make upon the
,übjeet could be compulsory carried out. His great
object would be to protect, under all circumstances, the
children, who were by the law of the land committed
for protection especially to the equity courts. Under
these circumstances, he should decide that the case was
within the jurisdiction of the court, which was the pre-
liminary consideration in the suit. It would be a ques-
tion hereafter what order, as to the custody of the chil-
-Idi en, the Court might make. The great question
before him was, as to the custody of infants, and
noon that he did not entertain a doubt that be had
jurisdiction, which he would exercise. There were very
cogent reasons why the parties should not suffer this
case to become the subject of adverse litigation, and
coun,el would do well on either side to consult whether
an amicable arrangement might not be effected without
prejudice to the interests of the various parties ; and
he was more particularly anxious for an arrangement of
an arnie,able nature, for the sake of the infant plaintiffs
committed to his charge.
Decree accordingly.

By the arrival of the General Screw Steam Shipping
Company's snail packet Lady Jocelyn, we learn that the
principal topic of interest was the newly-discovered gold
diggings, with respect to which the only question was
as to whether they will prove to be rich enough to repay
the trouble of research. There is one point contained
in the letters published by the Cape Herald that will be
interesting to the public. We refer to the discovery of
copper, which the writer adds is easily procurable from
the suifice, and in waggon loads. It we add to these
recommendations of the diggings the number of precious
stones and the plating that are likewise to be obtained
there, that country which has been so lately discarded
as worthless may yet prove to be richer than any other
appendage of her Majesty's possessions.
With respect to the terms on which the Orange Sove-
reignty was given up, the Friend observei—.
` We understand the new Government applied to the
Special Commissioner for• 90,0001. to enable them to com-
mence business ; and that, though he declined to give them
the full amount, he presented them with 6,000 i., 1,0031. of
which is to go towards purchasing the late British Resi-
dent's house, as a residence for their president. He gave
them also 3,0001. on account of the Been' Plaats fines, to
be divided among the sufferers in such maoner as they may
think proper, and 5001. to be divided between Stander and
three ur four others, who, they allege, were illegally im-
prisoned soineyears since, and the widows of Dreyer, who was
shot after Boem Pleats, and Waldman, who was shot in some
skirmish with Major Warden in the Winburg district. The
new Government, after some hesitation, presented Dr.
Taucred with 2001., in addition to the 31. previously col-
lected, and the rev. gentleman thereafter immediately re-
turned 'to the district of Cianwilliam. The new Govern-
ment has also purchased gunpowder, shot, Sze., from the
British Government to the amount of 1,0501. They have
agreed to pay 951. for the barracks, and other buildings on
the ordnance ground in Bloemfontein, in the vicinity of
the Queen's Fort. The Special Commissioner has also
presented the new Government with the three large gnus
on the Queen's Fort, and sufficient shot, shell, and other
ammunition to work them. He has also given them the
following arrear quitrents, or so much as they may be able
to collect :—For the year 1853, 2,300/. ; for previous years,
2,1501.—0 n condition that they shall pay immediately
1,0001. to the British Government, and 1,0001. more so
soon as they may be able to collect it. The new Govern-
ment has also received all the Government buildings and
office furniture in the different towns of the Sovereignty
from the Special Commissioner gratis."

Th 4 Lady Jocelyn is 13 days behind her time. Off
the Isile of France, in lat. 17 south, long. 70 east, she
experienced a very severe hurricane, which threw her
on her beamends, and she lost topmasts and jibboom,
sails, bulwarks, and boats. Owing to the existence of
smallpox at Point de Galle, she was put under quaran-
tine on arrival at the Mauritius, although all on board
were in perfect health. A third detention occurred at
St. Vincent, where coal was not to be obtained until
the Queen of the South and the City of Hobart had been
supplied.

It is reported that the Scoti Grays have been placed
under orders for service in Ireland, and that the 16th
Lancers, now detached, are to be again consolidated in
Dublin during the summer.
The embarkation of the first troop of the 11th Hussars,
which was to have taken place on Saturday morning,
was unavoidably postponed to yesterday (Monday)
morning, in consequence or the commissariat officers not
being able to perfect their arrangements. At 7 o'clock
the first division, consisting of 49 men, 43 troop horses,
and seven officers, under the command of Captain Ed-
mund Peel and Lieutenant A. W. Saltmarehe, assembled
on the parade ground at Portobello Barracks, where they
were inspected by Major Douglass, the officer in com-
mand of the regiment, after which they at once proceeded
to Kingstown. Another division was to follow in the
course of the day, and on Wednesday it is expected that
the entire regiment will have vacated the barracks. No.
59 transport, the Tyrone, 1,200 tons, arrived at Kings-
town on Saturday evening. Lieutenant Grant Ray-
mond, R.N., Admiralty agent, was the officer in charge.
Lord Cardigan is still in town.
The 34th Regiment, from Sheffield, will arrive at
Portsmouth this day (Tuesday) to take up the quarters
vacated by the 79th Highlanders.
Several pensioners in Limerick have re•enlistel for

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The repeated explosions which have occurred of late
in coal mines, and the melancholy loss of life with which
each case is attended, have excited an unusual degree of
public attention. We visited the institution on Satur-
day last for the purpose of inspecting the diagrams,
and a small apparatus explaining " Williamson's Im-
proved System of Colliery Ventilation," which pro-
fesses to give immunity from all accidents arising
from fire - damp, choke - damp, or goat-fire. By
the present system of ventilation the air is conveyed
merely, as it were, round the outline of the mine, and
the foul air is (tarried off through the upcast ; but the
goavese or wastes of the mine, where the coal has
been removed, and the roof allowed to fall, have been
the frequent cause of explosions, from the fact that
they are left unventilated, and thus become enor-
mous reservoirs of explo,ive fire-damp, ready to be
forced into the workings as soon as there occurs any
decrease in the atmospheric pressure. By the system of
Mr. Williamson, however, these goaves are made what
he very justly terms the safety valves of the mine, for
they are constantly drained of foul air, and in such a
manner as to prevent it from being forced into the
workings, and the spontaneous combination of coal-
dust, known as goaf-fire, is prevented by the free
circulation of air into the goaf or waste. The dia-
gram shows four figures, which resemble the letter V,
four times repeated, side by side, the space between
each representing the roadway, and the upper part
the coal face at which the men are supposed to be work-
log. The down-cast and the up-cast are reversed from
the
that usual practice. The air is supplied in such a man-
nern.ght ?at the current is kept up, and, rushing to the
its onward course, is driven through each
shgoaf, and the font air escapes through the lower end of
e goaf by an upper or an underfoot way, into the
pper cast, where it is carried off, leaving'', the goal
as well as the rest
as we saw exemplified in the
of .the mine filled with pure airsmall apparatu-s which,
was put in motion. It

gas would be carried away without interfering with the
other part of the workings. A large proportion of
the foul air will be withdrawn, 'without those
strong currents which have frequently proved so dan-
gerous. Should an explosion take pl ace, its destructive
to th
effects would be reduced e mini mum, and the terrific
effects of the after-damp or choke damp would be entirely
prevented, while the ventilation would not be disar-
ranged as at present. which frequentlyprevents the escape
of those not injured by the explosion, or their receiving
timely aid. Greater facility.
acrd economy in work-
ing, by the few traps and trappers required (be-

the children of the miner a better opportunity of obtain-
ing a school education, of which they are
the sake of a few shillings per week, to
be earned
for
rced in a
solitary and monotonous employment, frequently in
almost total darkness.
Mr. Williamson has another invention for a system
of working fiery mines, which he calls the " isolated t
stall . working," the object of which is to render
impossible for an explosion to extend beyond the stall
in which it may originate. The description of the
eterrrias displayed by the diagrams, would require
put e-644%. • e space than our limits will permit, but
they are et one a character as to render it most difficult

- ince %Vale common sense, namely, that of the withdrawal

too great importance to be longer neglected.
