NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

P6RTSMOUTH; AUG. 28.

THE CHANNEL FLEET.

~~!

Lord Walter Kerr is appointed naval cadet to the
Prince Regent, 90, flagship of Rear-Admiral Corry, com-
manding the first division of the Channel Fleet, consist-
ing of the Queen, 116 ; Amphion, 34 ; Sidon, 22 ;
Highflyer, 21 ; Valorous, 16 ; Leopard, 12 ; Vulture, 6.
The Highflyer went out of harbour this day to join the
second division, under Commodore H. B. Martin, C. 8.,
consisting of the Duke of Wellington, 131 ; Agamem-
non, 91 ; Imperieuse, 50 ; Arrogant, 46 ; and Despe-
rate, 8. By the arrival of the Plymouth and Ports-
mouth packet Brunswick at this port last night we learn
that both the above squadrons had put into Torbay, or
moored off Brixham, on Friday evening, from stress of
weather. They put in with top-gallant-masts struck.
The Brunswick, which was due on Friday morning, did
not arrrive until last night, owing to the violence of the
gale. She had a dreadful passage round ; many of her
passengers were landed at Torquay. Her non-appear-
ance here at the usual time created some alarm, her
punctuality having become proverbial.
The Edinburgh, 18, screw gunnery ship, Captain
Hewlett, which sailed from Spithead on Monday last on
a three weeks' cruise, returned to St. Helen's Roads,
off this port, last night, from stress of weather.
Her Majesty's screw-frigate Highflyer, 21, Captain
Moore, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour this after-
noon, and anchored at Spithead, where her powder and
live shell will be nut on board ; she then sails, to com-
municate with and join Commodore Martin's scptadron;

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS

FRANCE.

It appears from the reports which a great num-
ber of prefects have made to the Consails Gene raux,
that the fears which existed respecting the harvest
are altogether groundless. The quantity of grain
this year is of average amount, and the quality is
excellent.

An anniversary service for the soul of Louis
Philippe was performed yesterday in the chapel of
St. Ferdinand, at Neuilly, in the presence of the
friends and servants of the late king.
A letter from Belgrade of the 14th announces
the expulsion from Servia of several refugees; who
had been convicted of anarchical intrigues. The
country was tranquil.
It was rumoured on Saturday that explanations
would be demanded by the Belgian Government
relative to the long article Thich appeared the
other day in the Constituttonnel on the marriage
of the Duke of Brabant. It was a critique on a
pamphlet published in Paris under the signature
"Un Belge," to which reference was made in The
Sun on Thursday.

GERMANY.

The Senate and Council of Frankfort have pub-
lished a decree introducing various modifications
in the constitution. By the terms of para-
graph 4, the Jews are invested with certain po-
litical rights, and amongst others they can take
part in the elections of the members of the Legis-
lative Body ; but they cannot be elected to the
Senate or to the body representing the burgess
class, nor can they be judges, or fill any employ-
ment connected with the instruction of the Chris-

A capital race, won by half a neck.
There were two races. At first Battery, Octavia,
Waterfall, Countess of Theba, and Minerva, were
weighed for, but the last two not being on the ground
when the others went to the post, the clerk of the
course thought they did not intend to run, and so the
race proceeded without them. Battery came in first,
beating Octavia by a neck. On going to scale, however
Mr. Day objected that Battery had carried 51b over,
without declaring it, under a false impression which the
jockey entertained that the weights had been raised.
Mr. Davies, the owner of Minerva, protested against
the race in toto, and n being appealed to, the stewards
decided it was void and there should be a fresh race.
Battery, meanwhile, was sent home, and Mr. Day de-
clined to run Octavia and Waterfall. The result of the
second race was as above stated. Mr. Day intends,
however, to submit the case to the Jockey Club, not-
withstanding the rule that the decision of the stewards
shall be final. _ _

The Aristocratic Welter Stakes, of 5 sovs. each with
20 added, one mile, were won in two heats by Mr.
Land's Theodine, 4 yrs (601.), I.ost 71b, beating Mr.
Bidgood's Kate, aged (601.), list 21b, and three others,
The weather was again wet; and the attendance of

THE HAGUE, AUG. 26.
M. Van Hall's law on religious liberty was voted
in the Second Chamber of the States-General yes-
terday. The numbers were—For, 41 ; against,
27 ; majority for the Government, 14. The cham-
ber afterwards adjourned.
The law was immediately transmitted to the
First Chamber, and its examination in sections
will commence with the least possible delay.
The Catholic party, although much dismayed at
the success of the bill thus far, has commenced to
agitate anew in many of the principal towns and
communes, and petitions against the law are now
being signed for presentation to the First Chamber.
There is, however, scarcely a doubt but that it will
finally receive the Royal assent.

DEATH OF MR. R. J. SMYTH, M.P.—lntelligence has
been received of the sudden death, on Thursday, of Mr.
Roger J. Smyth, member for Lisburn, at his father's
residence in that town. Mr. Smyth, who was the eldest
son and heir of Mr. Thomas Johnson Smyth, D.L.,
of Lisburn, was elected for that borough in December
last, in opposition to the influence of the Marquis of
Hertford, whose candidate was Mr. In2lis, then Lord
Advocate of Scotland. It is likely that there will be a
sharp contest for the vacancy thus created in the
borough.

ance within the last few clav:;. it wa, first noticed

LORD PALMERSTON AT MELBOURNE.

On Saturday last the ceremony of laying the founda-
tion stone of the Melbourne Athenaeum was performed
by Viscount Palmerston, in the small but thriving town
of Melbourne, in Derbyshire, where the noble lord and
Lady Palmerston are now temporarily residing.
The cost of the proposed building, which will be
situated in Potter-street, and will be a neat structure,
with two porches, and is to be erected after the design
of Mr. Stevens, of Derby, is estimated at about 7001., of
which sum subscriptions, including a donation by the
late Lord Melbourne, have been already raised to the
extent of 4501. It is intended to combine three distinct
but important objects in the building—first, accommoda-
tion for an infant school ; next, a mechanics' institute ;
and lastly, a savings' hank. The hall will also be avail-
able for lectures and public meetings. The institute at
present possesses between eighty and ninety members,
and a library containing nearly a thousand volumes.
Every effort was made by the inhabitants to give eclat
to the occasion, and the event being considered to mark
an important era in the history of the town, the day was
observed as a general holiday. The committee, feeling
that it was only fitting, from the interest which Lord
and Lady Palmerston ever evinced in all that concerns
the well-being of Melbourne, that they should be invited
to take a prominent part in the proceedings, embraced
the opportunity offered by his lordship's visit to his Mel-
bourne estates, to request him to lay the foundation
stone—a task which the noble viscount cheerfully con-
sented to undertake.
The proceedings commenced by the presentation of an
address to Lord and Lady Palmerston, at their Mel-
bourne residence, welcoming them on their arrival
among the inhabitants of that town. A multitude of
the townspeople assembled upon the grass-plot in front
of his lordship's mansion, and vociferously cheered the
noble viscount and his lady during the presentation of
the address.

DEATH OF SIR C. NAPIER.

We deeply regret to announce that we have
received word by electric telegraph that Sir C.
Napier expired this morning at five o'clock, with-
out suffering, at his seat, Oaklands, near Ports-
mouth.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

By the Royal Mail steamer Niagara, which ar-
rived at Liverpool yesterday, we have advices from
New York to the 16th inst., and Boston to the
17th inst. She has brought 92 passengers, but no
specie. _ _

The America from Liverpool for Boston, was
passed about 70 miles from the latter port.
The weather was very hot at New York, the
thermometer ranging from 90 to 102. Upwards
of 200 persons died from the effects of the heat in
seven days.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
_Herald, writing on the 15th, says there can be no
doubt it was intended to send Mr. J. Dix to
France, but recent events have caused a change.
It is now settled that Mr. Dix shall not receive
the appointment. A difficulty is experienced in
finding a proper person. Mr. Dallas, Mr. IVPLane,
and General Bayley, are all mentioned.
The Kossta question is likely to assume a much
more important character than was at first antici-
pated. Mr. Marcy is already pledged to the posi-
tion, that the filing of a declaration of an intention
to become a citizen of the United States entitles
the individual to the protection of that Govern-
ment.

At New Orleans the yellow fever was raging with
great virulence ; the total number of deaths for the
week ending the 12th was 1,518, of which 1,277 were
from yellow fever ; on the 13th the deaths were 174
—153 from yellow fever.
Jamaica advices of the 28th ult., one day later,
are unimportant. There had been a good business
transacted in the New York stock-market. Erie
Railroad shares closed at 71f ; Parker Vein Com-
pany advanced 1 ; Hudson River, 1 ; Reading

TENCES of TRANSPORTATION

The average annual number, and respective terms, of
sentences of transportation in England and Wales, from
1844 to 1851 inclusive, have been as follows :

Life
Above 15 years
16 years and above 10 years
10 years and above seven years
Seven years

Total

. 2,328

As regards the sentences of imprisonment proportionate
to the present sentences of transportation, it may be con-
venient to show the scales by which detention in this coun-
try is now regulated. Exclusive of the restriction of a
ticket-of-leave, it is as follows :

Sentence of Ordinary term 'Minimum term
Transportation. of imprisonment. of Impriso ment
7 years. ... 3 years. ... 2 years.
10 „ ... 4i
31 ... 2 „

15 -,-, ... 7 7,
20 „ ... 0 ~
Life ... 11i „
In considering the subject, I would venture to submit the
following scale of sentences of imprisonment corresponding
to the above sentences of transportation, and of the remis-
sions which it might be found desirable to grant on the
principle now in operation :

Sentences of Average Sentences Average Perio 1
Transportation. of Imprisonment. to be enfsrced.
7 years. ... 4 years. ... 2 to 3 years.
10 „ ... 6 „ ... 3to 4 „
15 „ ... 8 $l, ... 4to 5 „
20 „ ... 10 „ ... sto 6 ~
Life ... 12 „ ... 6 SI

Taking into calculation the numbers sentenced to trans-
portation, as above, for the various terms, and assuming
that the same number will be sentenced to imprisonment,
the average period, which I have adopted in this scale,
will produce an average of between three or lour years of
actual imprisonment, previously to the commencement of
any arrangements for the disposal of prisoners
If the periods of actual imprisonment appear short, I
would observe that they include all casualties arising from
deaths, and pardons on medical grounds, or otherwise, so
that the terms of imprisonment would in reality be pro-
tracted to a long period in the case of the remainder, and
would mainly be determined by the conditions which it
might be expedient to annex to a pardon.
The solution of the convict question will always present
many difficulties, arising from the important and compli-
cated nature of the objects, both social and financial, that
have to We provided for. It involves a choice of evils, but
if the Government be forced to make a change, the more
simple the alteration in the law, the more effectually will
the difficulties be met and provided for, and the nearer
will be the approximation to the advantages, which up to
this period have been secured under the present system.

CLASSIFICATION OF CONVICTS.

In connection with the subject of a modification of the
present system, or other changes, I would submit the ex-
pediency of establishing a more severe system of discipline,
and of enforcing a more protracted term of imprisonment,
in the case of men convicted of heinous offences, especially
such as were accompanied by violence. This plan has
already been partially acted upon by the removal of des-
perate characters, such as those in the Frimley gang,
direct from separate confinement to Norfolk Island, and
to the penal gaup in Van Pitmen's Land. But it would

The Best Ventilated Theatre in London. NOTlCE.—Farther Post- I
ponement of the New Classical Burlesque, in consequence of the

Waterloo, the admired Scenes iu the Circle, and the never tiring
Fox Chase. Rank and Fashion nightly crowd the Boxes, while

Management a decided proof of the Public wish. No spectacle
ever created so great a sensation as the revival of the Battle of
Waterloo. To add to the effect, a Military Brass Band has been
expressly engaged. Return of Miss EMILY COOKE from the

most brilliant success. Due Notice will be given of Miss KATE

on board. But with such a fleet no one need feel
at a loss for specimens of the way in which our
wooden walls are built, fitted, and manned. A
visit to the Imperieuse, for instance, may be taken
as a proof of this. Commanded by Captain Wat-
son, she is expected to turn out one of the smartest
steam frigates in the service. She has hardly yet
had time to establish a reputation independently of
the name she bears, but in her build and equip-
ment the most recent improvements have been
adopted, and she is thoroughly well officered, as
ntly be seen by the expenditure in paint-scrubbing-
brushes, the polish of the guns, and a variety of
d3tails, the expense of which the Admiralty leaves
captains and first-lieutenants who take a pride in
the state of their ships to defray out of their own
pockets. Even to the gallery for the shaft of her
screw, a scrupulous cleanliness pervades the remot-
est corners of this fine frigate. Her armament dis-
plays to great advantage the accession of weight to
the guns now used as compared with those in the
last war, some reminiscences of which she awakens
by a small brass cannon on her quarter-deck called
" the Nelson Avenger." This is so mounted as to
be capable of being brought to bear with destruc-
tive effect upon marksmen in the rigging of an
enemy. The lmperieuse is remarkable for the
spacious uninterrupted sweep both of her upper
and lower decks. Her men were to-day following,
without a sign of modification, the ordinary course
of a man-of-war life—some tailoring, others at
carpenter's work, others ropemaking, a few taking
lessons in instrumental music, numbers stretched
upon the deck fast asleep, and more attending to
duty. What a miniature world it is that we find
realised in these leviathans afloat !

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 31st ult., in the Par-
larnento of Turin, states that political meetings fre-
quently take place in various respectable houses at
Rome, and that the Police knows of them, but
cannot prevent them, seeing that they have the ap-
pearance of mere private evening-parties, which
are not yet prohibited by law. Nevertheless, the
letter adds, those who frequent such parties are
arrested singly now and then, but set at liberty
soon after for want of evidence against them.
The Duke of Torlonia left Rome on the 31st ult.
for Paris.

From a leader in the Opinione of Turin of the

411,4 A

Tr, 7."!0371.10nt
"-C"'T,_ one of the

Milan by the edict wo mentioned a few days ago,
from the Milan Gazette of the Ist. It appears from
the Opinione that Austria has met with a refusal,
on the ground that the treaty of extradition of
1836 does not extend to political offences. The
Opinione adds that there is nothing to prove the
individual in question to he in Piedmont, but that
i
it is more than probable he has taken refuge n
England or America.
The Univers of Paris some time ago devoted a
leader to a certain tribute due by Piedmont to the
Holy See, for the cession by Benedict XIV. of the
feoffs of Cortanze, Cistarna, and Mondofio, to
Charles Emanuel 111., by a brief of September 2,
1740, the payment of which tribute, it said, had
been neglected for the last three years, and
claimed by the Pope at the last procession on St.
Peter's day, by an addition introduced into the
Latin formula, which is read every year on that
occasion, enumerating the various claims of the
Holy Sea upon foreign potentates. The thi7vers
further expressed its surprise at the Piedmon-
tese papers having been silent on this incident,
seeing that the Sardinian Ambassador was present
at the ceremony. The Opinione of Turin notices
this article, and replies, that, if the Piedmontese
papers had been silent on the subject, it was be',
cause they knew nothing at all about it, and could
not be expected to be informed of a protest
mumbled in bad Latin in the midst of the noise
o f a public procession—the more so, as the Univers
itself professes not to know the exact terms of the
said protest. The Opinione adds, that all it can
say on the matter is, that such tribute is not pall'
now, and that the Sardinian taxpayers have /I°
mind to pay it.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

A private telegraphic dispatch from Constanti-
nople of the Ist inst. states that the Divan has ad-
dressed a manifesto to the nation. This document
contains the ultimatum which the Porte proposes
to the acceptance of Russia.
It is also said that the Viennese proposals have
been accepted by the Porte.
The Czar had recalled his Consul at Adrianople.
The Russian Consols in Turkey are all about to
be recalled.

The news of the Czar's acceptance of the Vienna
proposals had not reached Constantinople up to the
date of the dispatch.
The finances were in a lamentable condition.
The premium on gold was 1 per cent.
The Porte was altogether strongly inclined to
accept a mediation.
The Friedland had run onthe coast, but the crew
had succeeded in getting her off.
We have received by Trieste letters from Con-
stantinople of the 28th ult., but they do not con-
tain any information of importance. One of them
mentions the death on that day of Nafiz-Pacha,
Minister of Finance.

The French steamer which arrived at Smyrna on
the 20th ult., carried out (says a letter in the
German, Journal of Frankfort), 15,000 muskets,
and the Eurotas, from Marseilles, 35,000. Mo-
hammed Ali Pacha, son of Mehemet Ali, had ar-
rived from Alexandria with 100,000,000 piastres,
sent by his family as a present to the Sultan.
The Lloyds contains a letter from Varna of the
20th July, which says :—" The passage of troops
continues, and up to the present time 32,000 men
have passed through this place. Omer Pacha has
distributed them amongst the fortified places and
camps in the neighbourhood. It is stated that
Kard-Su, a locality which is situated between Kus-
tendje and Czernawoda, will form the centre of
operations. Yesterday, six Russian line-of-battle
ships were seen in the Black Sea near Cape Emona.
Three are cruising on the coast of Roumelia, and
the three others have taken the direction, it is
said, of Natolia. The Russian army in the Princi-
pality, 80,000 strong, is distributed in this way-
-17,000 at Bucharest, 20,000 at Galatz, and the
rest at Fokschani. Fever is raging amongst the
troops."
