THE GREAT BRITAIN.—LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The
Great Britain steam-ship, which was to have taken her
departure this forenoon for Australia, has been delayed,
owing to the low state of the tides, until Monday morn-
ing, when she will sail at ten o'clock. During the past
week she has been visited by thousands of the pleasure
excursionists from the manufacturing districts, which
affords sufficient evidence of the interest taken by every
class of the community in this national vessel. Since her
putting back some internal alterations have been made,
by which a greater number of passengers can be accom-
modated. All her berths are occupied, and she has a
full cargo of merchandise on freight.
DEPARTURE OF THE CANADA.—On Saturday fore-
noon, at half-past 10 o'clock, the British and North
American Royal Mail steamship Canada, Capt. James
Stone, sailed from the Mersey, for Boston and Halifax,
with the usual mails for the United States and British
possessions in North America-175 passengers and a full
cargo of merchandise on freight.
HEALTH OF THE BALTIC FLEET.— By a letter from the
surgeon of one of the ships in the Baltic, just received,
dated Hango Roads, May 27, we learn that small-pox is
prevailing to a great extent in H.M,S. Neptune and
Nile. In the former ship, it is said that nearly all the
officers are hors de combat with this disease. The hospital
ship Belleisle had not arrived.—Medical Times and
Gazette.

WANT OF MEDICAL OFFICERS IN THE BALTIC FLEET.
—ln the Royal George, with a crew of 950 men on board,
and 40 short of complement, and with a sick list vary-
ing from 90 to 114, and in daily expectation of going
into action, the surgeon has but one acting assistant-
surgeon, and he has only five months' experience of the
service. The Edinburgh and Blenheim, both ships of
the line, have only one assistant-surgeon, and some of
the smaller ships have a surgeon alone without any assis-
tant. It is painful to contrast the inadequate medical
staff actually supplied to our splendid fleet with Sir J.
Graham's statements in the House of Commons of the
multitude of applicants for admission into the service.
A return of the medical officers now serving in the Bal-
tic and Black Sea fleets, and the number each ship ought
to have, would afford an instructive contrast.—Medical
Times and Gazette.
CAPTAIN YELVERTON OF THE ARROGANT is the son of
John Joseph Henry, Esq., of Straffan, and of Emily
Elizabeth, sister to the Duke of Leinster. On his mar-
riage in 1845 with the Baroness Grey de Ruthyn tßar-
bara Yelverton), widow of the second Marquis of Hast-
ings, he assumed the surname of Yelverton. Our coun-
trymen will net be displeased to learn that the first re-
markable exploit in the Baltic was planned by, and exe-
cuted under the orders of an Irishman.—Dublin &ening
Post.
MELANCHOLY Loss OF LIFE ON THE RIVER.—Last
Saturday evening an accident, attended with fatal con-
sequences, occurred on the river near Blackfriars-bridge,
under the following circumstances :—The deceased, a
young man, between 16 and 17 years of age, but whose
name did not transpire, was, with four others about his
own age, taking a row along the river, after having wit-
nessed the opening of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham,
when just as they shot Blackfriars-bridge on the Surrey
side, they appeared to have lost all control over the
boat, allowing it to be drifted along by the tide, which
was then flowing rapidly. As the boat approached some
barges moored in the stream, deceased, as if fearing their
slender craft would be capsized, caught hold of the fore-
most barge, whence he hung while the boat glided from
under him. His companions, who were paralysed with
horror at his situation, lost all self-possession, and let
the boat proceed uncontrolled with the rapid current.
The pierman at Blackfriars-bridge, seeing the perilous
situation of deceased, rowed with all speed towards the
spot where he was swinging between the barge and the
river, but before the pierman could reach him the unfor-
tunate youth lost his grasp, and falling into the water
instantly disappeared, having been drawn under the
barges. The boats of the Thames police and other boats
instantly shoved off towards his relief, and the drags
were put into immediate requisition. But all efforts to
recover the body were unavailing, and the presumption
was that the tide carried it away. Deceased's com-
panions, as might be naturally supposed, were distracted
at the melancholy fate of their companion, who during
the day was the merriest of the whole of them, having
been the life of the party.
DEATH OF ROBERT FORSTER, ESQ., Q.C.,
—The death of this gentleman took place on the 2d inst.,
at his residence, Springfield, Dungannon, after a short
illness, in the 63d year of his age,—Northern, Whig.
