NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PORTSMOUTIT, Auo. 24. —ln Harbour—Britannia, 120, flag
ship ; Victory, 104, ordinary guard ship ; Excellent, gunnery
ship; Royal George yacht; Pantaloon, 10; and Fanny tender.
In Dock—The Messenger steam transport.

At Spithead—The Edinburgh, 74, and Pique, 36, awaiting
triers ; the Tribune, 24, for Lisbon and the Mediterranean ;
and the Athol troop ship, for North America and the West
Indies.

ARRIVALS, SAILINGS, &C., DURING VIE WEER..---On sa_
turday, the 18th, the Herald, 28, sailed for-Plymouth and the
East Indies. Arrived the Firebrand steamer, from the east-
ward ; the Athol troop ship, from the north coast of Spain ;
and Gipsy tender, from Plymouth. Sailed at night the Fire-
brand steam vessel, for Plymouth, with the Lords of the Ad-
miralty on board. On Tuesday, the 21st, sailed the Gipsy
tender, for the eastward; and on Friday, the 24th, the Colum-
bine, 18, with supernumeraries for the coast of Africa, and the
Gossamer tender, with supernumeraries, for Plymouth.
Lord Minto, Sir Charles Adams, and Sir William Parker
arrived here on Saturday night, and embarked almost imme-
diately in the Firebrand steam vessel, on a tour of inspection,
for Plymouth and Pembroke.
_ .

It has been blowing hard here since my last communication,
principally from the westward. _

On Wednesday morning at 2h. 30m. A.M., the hands were
turned up on board the flag ship ( Britannia) to strike top-
gallant masts, when William Davis, captain of the forecastle,
complained of being unwell, and requested to be assisted
below, which was immediately complied with, but the poor
fellow died within five minutes afterwards. The Admiralty
Coroner summoned an inquest on Wednesday forenoon, when
a verdict was returned of 6' Died by the Visitation of God."
The Kroomen and liberated Africans who assisted in work-
ing the Waterwitch to England, were embarked this day on
board the Columbine, for their return to the coast of Africa.
The pay and prize-money they have received while here, has
been in a great measure expended in the purcuase of rich naval
uniforms, swords, cocked hats, &c., complete ; and such has
been the number and size of the chests they have taken with
them, that several casks of beef and pork have been landed to
make sufficient room for their stowage in the hold.
The Racer is the next vessel for commission here; and
Actaeon and Orestes find no difficulty in getting hands.

AUCTION at the Mart in Loneon en TUESDAY NEXT,

WADHURST CASTLE

has long been familiar to the public as one of the interesting features
of its delightful vicinage; it is six miles beyohd Tonbridge Wells,
only three from
THE ROMANTIC VILLAGE OF FRANT,

and, en route, to
HASTINGS AND ST. LEONARDS.

It has long been a commanding, as well as an interesting, object to
the traveller. The order of architecture is chaste and precisely
what a castle should be; it is erected of stone, placed on an emi-
nence, which tends materially to increase its outward pretensions,
besides aiding very much the
INTERESTING VIEW OVER THE PARK AND ESTATE.
The entree is direct from the London-road, through luxuriant
plantations inclining by a serpentine drive to the Mansion.
THE PANORAMIC LANDSCAPE
that is presented can hardly be surpassed in England; it approaches
the delightful illusion which
THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY'S FAMED WOODS
(which divide this property from Tunbridge Wells) never fails to
inspire. In the distance is seen Rose Hill, Burwash, and Whiligh,
with
WADHURST TOWN AND ITS FAMED SPIRE, AND
THE SURROUNDING WOODLAND SCENERY,
perpetually to vary and to enliven the scene, and which is rendered
perfect by

TOUS LES MOlS.—This substance is pre-
pared from the roots of the Canna Coccinea, which flowers
every month, whence it has been called by the French " Tousles
" It is," says Dr. `Paterson, of St. Kitt's, " a most nu-
tritious diet, easily digestable, and, consequently, invaluable for in-
valids and children, and very superior to sago, tapioca, arrow root,
and gruel. It contains less acid than any other farinaceous food
with which lam acquainted. I have never known it turn sour
upon the stomach." Drs. Ryan and James Johnson confirm these
statements, and speak in high praise of the " Tousles Mois."
Sold in canisters, 2s. and 4s. each, and in packages for the con-
venience of familes, 20s. each, by the Importers, Samuel Hickson

FRANKS'S SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF
COPAIBA.
Within a period of Two Months upwards of Three Hundred Patients
were successfully treated at the Metropolitan Hospitals with FRANK ,'S
SPECIFIC SOLUTION of COPAIBA.
By Joseph Henry Green Esq., F.R.S., one of the Council of the Royal
College of Surgeons Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, and Professor
of Surgery in the King's College, London.
I have made trial of Mr. Frank's Solution of Copaffia, at St. Thomas's
Hospital, in a variety of cases of discharges in the male and female, and
the results warrant my stating, that it is an efficacious remedy, and one
which does not produce the usual unpleasant effects of Copaiba.

turer on Anatomy, &c. &c., and others most eminent in the Medical
Profession.
4. Mr. Bransby Cooper presents his compliments to Mr. George Franks,
and has great pleasure in hearing testimony of the efficacy of his Solution
Copaiba in Gonorrhea' for which disease Mr. Cooper ha prescribed
the Solution in ten or twelve cases with perfect success.

NEW COURT.

- Mary Henderson, a genteel, intelligent girl, fourteen years
of age, was convicted of stealing two handkerchiefs, the pro-
perty of J. R. Smith.
Although the prisoner has been in custody for a consider-
able time, she has resisted the humane inquiries of the she-
riffs and every other person as to her family connexions, who,
from her dress and acquirements are supposed to be very
respectable.
The Common Sergeant, it is said, then made the following
overture—lf she would inform him of the name and abode of
her parents, she should be driven there directly in a hackney-
coach, and delivered up without its being made known where
she had been or from whence sent.

With this condition she instantly complied, and steps were
taken for her removal if she had told the truth.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A watchman named Holder, who protects the public in the
neighbourhood of London-bridge, was summoned before the
Lord Mayor for having been rather too active in the perform-
ance of his supposed duties.
His LORDSHIP recommended the watchman to settle with the
complainant to prevent a more disagreeable issue.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE.

Ridicule is a powerful engine in this country as well as it
France, and the ingenious inventor of the wooden aroupe of
the top of the arch on Constitution-hill, seems well aware o
the fact. We have heard the device attributed to Mr. S.
Rice; but Whoever be the inventor, he has been eminently
successful in persuading the eublic that George the Fourth'
Folly is not a place for the Wellington Statue. The nose i
said to be eighteen inches by nine, and the ridge sufficieet'3
ample to afford a convenient scat for a chimney-sweep to
a Royal procession. All disieterested artists, too; ridicule th,
idea of placing the Statue in aii c with the arch. Would it
not be better for the Duke of Rutland and Mr. Croker t(
come to some. understanding with the subseiiberF, and fix upon
some spot where a Statue could be erected that would exhibit
to future generations the real features of the illustrious Duke
Perhaps there is not a more appropriate site in the west-ene
than the open space in Carlton-terrace, between the Atherwum
and Unite] Service Clubs. Let Mr. Wyatt try his hand at
.Statue for such a locality, and to a certainty he would succeed,
for whatever cavilling there may Le about the horse on which
he has placed George the Third, all admit that the likeness of
the King is admirable.

A meeting of merchants interested in the South
American and Mexican trades was held at Liverpool on
Saturday last for the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety
of addressing her Alajesty's Ministers on the sub_
f tl'o blockade of the ports of Mexico and Buenos Ayres
by
French ; on which occasion it was resolved to transmit
jccact o
o6Memunication to Lord Palmerston and his colleagues, pray-
ing that they would exercise their good offices between the
parties, with a view to the putting an end at the earliest pus-
sible period to the existing state of things—the continuance of
of the blockades in question being attended with consequences
highly injurious to the commerce of the country.

QUEEN-SQUARE,

Joseph Bailey, a green grocer, residing in York-stree
Westminster, was yesterday charged under the Mutiny Act
with receiving barrack stores supplied from the depot.
Mr. BURRELL said this was an offence which must be se-
verely punished. He therefore convicted the defendant in the
penalty of 10/. and three times the value of the coals.
He was removed in custody.

for the assault.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday morning an elderly woman, named Hanks, in a
state of great destitution, was
brought before Mr. TrtainL,
charged with attempting to throw herself from the palisades of
Vauxhall Bridge.
Mr. TRAILS, asked her the cause of her having attempted
the rash act ? and the reply she made was, that she had been
for the last ten days wandering about without scarcely any food
and no habitation, and that for the whole of that time she had
never been in a bed. That the condition of misery to which
she was reduced had operated on her mind, and had reduced
her to such a state that she determined on self-destruction to
end her misfortunes on earth.
In the course of the day the proceedings of the office were
interrupted by the hasty entrance of two young men of re-
spectable appearance, leading between them a large New-
foundland dog, which each laid claim to, and seemed to be in
a high state of excitement about the animal.
One of the parties, who said that his name was Ward
claimed the dog as his property, and stated that it had bern
stoten from him between a month and five weeks ego. Mr.
Ward said that he belonged to the Garrick Theatre, that he
bad been for some time engaged in teaching this very dog to
play in the piece entitled The Dog of Montargis, and that
the animal had acquired all the necessary tricks to do the cha-
racter to perfection, when it was stolen from him. Mr. Ward
further identified the animal, by saying that one of the lower

teeth was broken off near the stump, which on examination
was found to be the case.
The MaoisTuATF. said that there appeared very little doubt
the dog belonged to Mr. Ward, and that the person from
whom Mr. Maynard had got it that morning might get him-
self into a very serious scrape if be did not give it up.
Mr. Ward asked the Magistrate if he was not justified in
taking possei.sion of his dog ?
The MAGISTRATE said that he could not empower him, bat
that he would grant a summons against the person from whom
Mr. Maynard, the person complained of, had it that morning.
The parties then withdrew into the outer office, between
whom a squabble took place, but ultimately Mr. Ward got pos-
session of the dog. •

SUICIDE AT LIVERPOOL.

The person who terminated his existence on Monday last at
the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool, arrived in this country on the
preceding night by the Royal William steamer, from New
York. Amongst the evidence taken on the Coroner's Inquest
was the following :
Joseph Anderson stated that on'proceeding to the Waterloo
Hotel with Mr. Lynn, he was shown to a I),A-room, on the
floor of which the deceased was ,lying with his throat cut.
The windpipe was completely severed. The deceased ap-
peared to have been dead some time. Ile had evidently made
two cuts. On the floor witness saw the razor now produced.
There was a silk handkerchief twisted round the handle—for
the purpose, evidently, of getting a better hold of the handle.
The razor was knotehed at the edge, and as the bone of the
vertebrae was cut, witness was of opinion that the knotches
were occasioned by cutting against it. Death must have been
instantaneous. Witness was of opinion that very great force
had been used.
James Johnson stated that he was a surgeon. He arrived
here on Sunday last by the Royal William, from New York.
Witness knew the deceased, who was also a passenger on
board the same vessel. Witness anticipated what had taken
place from his desponding state. So strong was this im-
pression on the mind of witness, that, while proceeding on
Monday to keep an appointment with the deceased, he passed
the dead-house in Chapel-street, and seeing a crowd of per-
sons round it, was apprehensive he might find the deceased
there. Under the circumstances he did not think it prudent
to alarm his friends.

George Nicholson also arrived from New York by the Royal
William. The deceased was a friend of witness. His name
was Alexander Cruiksbank. He was a native of Scotland.
He left Surinam in a very bad state of health, and was very
desponding. Witness and deceased put up at the Waterlog
Hotel. They breakfasted together on the morning of the
catastrophe. The deceased appeared much as usual. He was
36 years of age.
The Jury, after an inspection of the body, returned a ver-
dict of " Temporary insanity."

THE DEVIL'S Lows.—The gambling speculations
to which the widely fluctuating duty is c4lculatpd to giyp
rise, are now in full operation. Speculators are doing what
will gain or lose them hundreds of thousands, as the season
may turn out. They buy corn from the continent, say at 30s.
a quarter. Should it happen that the price in this country
is reduced to 50s, 4 sr., they will have the choice of paying
355. Bd. of duty, or of re-exporting. Shull the price con-
tinue above 735., they will be charged a duty of Is. The
spirit of rash speculation which such a system creates, would,
were we even to overlook the miseries which it brings on mil-
lions of tile people, be sufficient to make us dtmand that some
vast preponderant gdod'itiould'be exhibited as the justification
of such a sacrifice ? And what have we ? The rents of some
portions of the land slightly increased beyond their natural
value.—Scotsman.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday a young man of fashionable appearance, who gave
his name Janes Vincent, was brought up by police-constable,
125 E division, charged with having knocked at the doors of
the inhabitaks of Qucen-street, Bloomsbury-square.
A gentleman connected with the Society of Friends came
forward to offer himself as bail.

_ ___ .......... ...... ...
Mr. BENNETT—Are you— acquainted with the prisoner ?•
I am.

His affirmation was taken, on which he stated that he was
a solicitor, residing in Park-place, Islington, and he knew the
prisoner to be a respectable man. He had dined with him,
and he had no doubt but it was through the influence of the
wine that he had drunk that he had committed himself in the
manner which he had done.
Mr. BENNETT ordered him to find bail, which was imme-
diately given, and he was discharged.

day in Wall-street—the new Sub-Treasury Scheme, and the private
meeting of the Bank-officers last evening; little or no change has
taken place in the Market today. The same impulse and move-
ments that have prevailed for several days still exist; specie is quoted

are unchanged. VAchange for the next packet has not yet opened,
hut speculation hes already begun as to its future course. At the pri.
vate meeting of the Wall-street financiers the great subject of discus-
sion was the resumption of specie payments, the new Sub-Treasury
scheme, and the proposed special mission to Philadelphia, in order to
open a negotiation with Mr. Biddle for the accomplishment of some
general plan of action to restore confidence in the Currency. The
leading Banks here are now in a position to begin the new movement.

(Private Correspondence of the Constitutionel.)

VIENNA, JAN. 28.—The evening before yestt rday there was a diplo-
matic meeting at Prince Nletternich's; the conversation turning on
the affairs of Spain, and the address of your Chamber of Doputies. M.
de Tatischeff, who thinks himself a wit, said, " Gentlemen, I can
nouncet o you oUiciAlly, the dissolution of the Quadruple Alliance.
M. Thiers, the er ea tor of this Cumstitutional masterpiece, has pronounced
its fbneral oration ; it is buried, notwithstanding the eulogitina of the
liberal Press ; it will not come to life again, unless this diabolical alli-
ance is a vampire." When the applause had ceased, M. de Metternich
addeJ, " I always told you that little Guizot and his partizans are inde-
fatigable champions, worthy to make a figure in the middle ages. 'I hey
strike hard, they will send the linerty of Spain after that of Italy
and Poland."

At this meeting, to which the Ministers of the Courts who were at.
Cached to absolutism were admitted, there were three Frenchmen at-
tached to the Bourbons. You may therefore imagine that the hesitation
of M. Mole and all the noticns of your Government were severely
criticised.

Fresh supplies of money will be sent to the Pretender, the Emperor
Ferdinand having consented to open his immense treasures to aid abso.
lutism in Spain. Tt is even affirmed that Prince Lichtenstein, who is
Colonel of a regiment of Hussars, will be sent to Don Carlos to assist
him with his military counsels, and represent Austria at his Court, as
soon as he can be seriously recognised as King of Spain.
It is quite certain that the King of Prussia has relnsed to accept the
mediation of the Court of Austria in the affair of the Archbishop of
Cologne. The King has answered to all the prorosals made to him.

knacked hit brains out with his' pistol, and than continued beating
him until he had shattered his pistol; that Arnold carried the pistol
over to Chippewa. all covered with the brains of the murdered Mali,
and boasted of the deed, exhibiting his pistol as a proof of the fact ; that
after firing the teat and cutting her 'loose, the said Warren re.
mained on hoard the boat, to prevent any person who might be
below from escaping; that on several persons coming up from the
cabin they were all stabbed with a sword by the said Warren ; that the
said Warren retrained en board the steam-boat thr the purpose of pre-
venting said escape, until he was obliged to leave the beat on account
of the fire. The said Nl`Donough further stated that they ki.ew
that the persons whom they attacked were cit;zens of the United
States ; that they took two prisoners, and that they were now
at Chippewa ; and that violent means had Lee❑ wed to force
at raid :;11 ners to untold the pans cf the force on Navy Island and on
the frontier. The said M'Dooough further stated that they knew the
boat was from Buffalo, and that she did not belong to Navy Island ; that
they expected that there were a great many parsons on hoard, and that
having gone: over in order to murder so many persons, they were disap-
pointed in finding so few persons on board ; that there were killed twelle
or fourteen persons. The said Allen are was is company with the
*aid Id`Donough or I'd`Dmald, and stated the same matters and facts
as Ml•Douough. They were then on their way to Cobsurg, where they
