ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—Vice-Adroi-
rat Sykes, the bountiful patron of all our naval institu-
tions, has presented the handsome donation of ten
guineas to the diminished funds of this ancient charity.
The St. Vincent, Captain Dacies, with the flag of
Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, still flying, went into
Portsmouth harbour yesterday about noon, towed in by
the Echo. Considering the bad weather the ship has so
recently experienced, and the short time she has had to
" brush up," she looked remarkably well, more especially
in her spars, rigging, and cordage, which were all comme
it fact. At the entrance of the harbour she met the
Fanny, yacht, coming out with the Commander-in-
Chief, Admiral Sir B. Capel, on board. As she passed
her the St. Vincent manned her rigging, and the band
played " God save the Queen!" This slight nautical
maxim:tyre much pleased the numerous assemblage of
persons that had collected on the platform battery and
lines to see her come into harbour. She went to her old
moorings off Gosport, which made the harbour look as
it used to do. We suppose the Rear-Admiral's flag was
hauled down at sunset yesterday evening.
The San Josef was taken into No. 5 dock, at Devon-
port, on Saturday morning, The shipwrights will com-
mence breaking her up to-morrow morning. They are
to work from six in the morning till seven in the
evening, and are to have is. 9d. per ton.
In the Plymouth Sound—The Nautilus.
In Harbour—The Impregnable, 78, flag-ship; Agin-
court, depot ship; Scorpion, surveying vessel; Sylph,
Fearless, Goodwill, and Camel, lighters.
The Plumper, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth,
has had her bowsprit taken out. She is to have a
larger one. She shipped a new screw yesterday morn-
ing, and went out to try it; and also to try her speed
along the measured mile in Stokes Bay. We have not
heard the result.

The Lark, Lieutenant Commander Hall, having been
supplied with new spars, sailed from Plymouth Sound on
Sunday, at noon, with a fair wind.

The llamoaze lighter (Wood, acting master) sailed
from Devonport, on Sunday, with stores, for Pembroke.
The Goodwill lighter (Pledge) arrived at Devonport
on Saturday, with stores, from Chatham.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—In our yesterday's report
respecting the Leander, it was stated " This is the ship
to which Ciptain C. Eden has been appointed"—an error
we hasten to correct. She has not been commissioned,
and if we may draw any inference from the suspicious-
looking circumstance of her having been towed back to
moorings up the harbour, there appears no probability
of Captain Eden or any other officer hoisting the pen-
dant in her at present.
Mr. Alfred Balliston, Acting Master in command of
the Myrtle port tender, has received his appointment to
the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, for service in hsr
Majesty's new steam express yacht Elfin, fitting at
Woolwich. Mr. Balliston is an indefatigable officer and
skilful pilot—important points in his character not
likely to be overlooked by such a Captain as Lord Adol-
phus Fitzilarence, under whose orders Mr. Balliston will
now entirely serve.

The Blenheim, 60, steam guardship, Captain H. T.
Austin, C. 8.; the Leander, 50, in ordinary; and the
Sparrow, ketch, Commander G. A. Frazer, were removed
from the Ship-basin this morning, which place is to be
drained out and cleansed.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, FIVE P.M.-I❑ the morning
we had light southerly winds, with fine weather; but a
little before noon it clouded up from the northward, and
we have had hail and rain all the afternoon, with light
north-east winds.

DEATH OF WILLIAM INGRAM, AN A BEE-
' DEENSHIRE POET.—The Aberdeen Journal mentions the
demise, on the 19th ult., of William Ingram, author of a
small volume of poems published in that city in 1812.
One or two of the pieces in the volume showed the au-
thor's love of poetry to have been awakened by the
genius of Burns, whose death occurred about the period
at which Ingram seems to have commenced the cultiva-
tion of the muse's friendship. Mr. Ingram was in his
84th year when he died. His last instructions were
brief and simple—" Bury me as near Old Mr. Falconer
as possible, and send the bookie' to Lord Aberdeen."
" Old Mr. Falconer," was a former clergyman in the
parish of Fyvie, and a very worthy man, for whom he
entertained a warm friendship, and " the bookie,"
(a copy of his little volume) was the only token that he
had to bestow of his gratitude to the noble and generous
benefactor on whose property he resided, at Woodhead
of Fyvie, and who rescued him from the absolute want
that overtook his declining years.
A charge of assault was preferred on Thursday'
at our police office, by Captain Steel, against Charles
Lloyd Harford, Esq., of Italian Villa, a gentleman
whose
name has just been added to the commission of the peace
for the county of Gloucester. According to the evi-
dence, the complainant being inthe
time parish church last
Sunday evening, after standing
some
observed a large pew partly unoccupied,
ceeding to take a seat therein when Mr. Harfordw one
the occupants, in the most violent manner, seizedahsiinnperbooy-f
the collar, and ejected him by force; Captain Steel's
e in the aisle,
and
hand being squeezed in the scufll3 against the door. The
charge appears to have been clearly proved, as well as
by Captain Steel's own evidence as by that of other
parties in the pew at the time; the only evidence ten-
dered for the defence being the very equivocal and
equivocating testimony of Mr. Harford's own servant.
The magistrates, after conferring three•quarters of an
hour, to the surprise of all present, and the office, as may
be supposed, was crowded with gentlemen anxious to
hear tne result, adjourned their decision until Saturday.
The Mr. Harforo's solicitor for the
excuse

death

BARNET GRI :AT CATTLE FAIR. This very extensive and
important cattle fair commenced yesterday. The supply ex-
ceeded in numb er the first day of last year. The increase
may be chiefly a ecounted for from the sellers not submitting
to the ruinous pi ices that have been offered of late, reserving
their chance of doing better at this celebrated fair. The
droves of Devon, Hereford, Sussex, and Scotch beasts were very
good. The buy ers were very numerous, and as early as nine
o'clock some of the primest beasts were selected. The follow-
ing were the to, p prices : —Best Devons three-years old, 101 to.
121; second ram tes, 81 to 91; Herefords, 8* to 9/ lOs ; best
Scots 71 to 91 pe r head; Sussex beasts, most of which were
sold to go to wol lc, made from 121 to 151 per head ; Welsh and.
Ayrshire beasts • were offered at very low prices, but few lots.
' being sold • hes t Yorkshire cows, with a calf by the side,.
made from 14/ o 16i; in calves, three-years old, 10/ to 131.
The prices gem orally were from 20 to 30 per cent, below those-
of last year. 'l' here was a full fair of horses of every descrip-
tion, size, and equality, with a great number of Welsh and
foreign ponies; prime young cart-horses, suitable for London
work, sold fret vat from 50 to 65 guineas each. Nags, for
riding or drivii tg, from four to six years old, brought high
prices, from 4,0 to 50 guineas being freely given. Small
ponies, under thirteen hands, made extraordinary high prices,.
30 to 35 guineas, in many instances, being given for a pair
well matched; Shetland ponies, 71 to 101 each each. There
has been a gre at clearance made of cattle and horses, but a. number is left Ibr this day's fair.

sOintment and
Pifis again Triumphant in the Cure of a Bad Leg of
Ten Years' Duration.—Extract of a letter from Mr.
Harris. Aloe sill, Alcester, 3/arch 14, 1549, to Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir: I suffered for upwards of ten years
with a bad leg, in which were five running sores, and
although I tried various methods of treatment as pre-
scribed by different medical men, still it got worse.
Seeing in the newspapers notices of the cures your va-
luable medicines lia,vn performed, I determined on trying
them, and by their use, and the blessing of God, a per-
fect cure of my leg was effected six months ago. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-

in-
quest was held at the Old Basing House, Kingsland-
road, on the body of Susannah .Benson, aged 66 years.
The decease d was the widow of Mr. John Benson, a
horse hair me.nufacturer, who had died suddenly some
years since, leaving the deceased as annuity, which
would maintain her until she was 70 years of age, when
it would expire. The deceased enjoyed tolerably good
health until within the last three weeks, when she ap-
peared very low and desponding, and complained that
her money would not last till she was dead. She was
last seen olive on Thursday evening, when she said,
" she thought she would die that night." On the fol-
lowins, morning, she was found suspended by a black
crape handkerchief from a rail of her bedstead, quite
dead. Verdict—Temporary insanity.
CHEAP AND INVALUABLE DENTIPRICE.--Dissolve
two ounces of borax in three pints or boiling water; be-
fore quite cold add thereto one tea spoonful of tincture of
myrrh, and one table spoonful of spirits of camphor;
bottle the mixture for use; one wine-glass of the solution
added to half a pint of tepid water is sufficient for each
application. This solution applied daily preserves and
beautifies the teeth, extirpates all tartarous adhesion,
produces a pearl•like whiteness, arrests decay, and in-
duces a healthy action to the gum!.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SHEFFIELD.
GENTLEMEN The invitation that you hays been so kind as
to send to me, requesting me to become a candidate for your suff-
rages at the coming Election, I at once accept —thanking you most
sincerely
for this signal and unexpected mark of your esteem and al,-
Probation.
I say approbation, because I thus construe your invitation. Of
my political life you have taken note—and noting, have approved.
You say that my past actions have been such as to win your confi-
dence. To those acts I must refer you, as the best and most com-
plete evidence of my political opinions. Eighteen years ago, when
for the first time I was about to solicit the Suffrages of my country-
men. in the hope that they would place me in the proud position of a
representative of the people, I stated at some length the
principles
'which would guide my conduce upon all the great questions of policy
which then occupied the attention of the-nation. To that statement
I could now refer, and for the same purpose : I could refer to it, not
only as an exposition of my private opinions, but as a test by which
to try the consistency of my performance and my prolessions. The
experience of many years has, I hope, made me wiser, and taught
me the mode most conducive to the practical application of the prin-
ciples which I profess—but from the principles themselves I have not
sported.
The years that have elapsed since 1832 have indeed settled very
few of the questions which at that period interested and divided the
whole people. We have advanced— and are advancing—but at every
step the contest of opinions is renewe,l, aneacwe t
separate have almost
victory has
every
day to re-state the arguments I,y which h
been obtained.
On the great end leading questions of constitutional reform,
though Much as been done, much remains to be accomplished.
The many anomalies of our electoral system have yet to be removed
—a fuller scope must be given to the popular will—and numerous
classes who are now unwisely excluded must be brought within the
pale of the Constitution. Every statesman who really desires here-
after to provide for the well-being of the people will seriously con-
sider the question of the suffrage, in order to bring about speedily,
though cautiously, a large extension of it.
sty opinion as to the best mode of taking the votes at-elections I
have seen no reason to change. In order that opinion may be
freely expressed, the ballot seems to me absolutely indispensable.
In short, though the Reform Act was a great step in advance.
still the increasing intelligence of the country demands, and will in
its proper time attain, a reform of the Reform Act.
Although we cannot hope to win and retain complete good govern-
ment itself without perfection in the means, yet we must not pos:-
pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained.
Our endeavours may at the same time be directed to many objects,
and I therefore proceed to -touch upon some which appear at the
present moment of the highest importance.
Though, in my opinion, a Government cannot do much directly to
procure wealth and comfort for a people, it can, and- unfortunately
does, do much improperly to diminish their substance, and thereby
their comfort. Unnecessary expense—unmeaning, mischievous re-
strictions upon the industrious labours of the people, have in all
ages been the-vice of Governments. But the vigilance of the popu-
lar leaders must now be directed to curb this evil—not only must we,
then, enforce a rigid economy, but we must require that a perfectly
free trade should give full scope for the active energies of an indus-
trious nation.
Connected with thls subject In manY ways, and with the well-
being of mankind in many more, is the great subject of colonization.
The colonies of England have been planted in spite of the mischie-
vous interference, and not by the aid of the Government of England.
It is high time that the intelligence of herpeople should act upon our
rulers, and make them directly useful in extending oar name, our
language, our institutions, and the blessings of an enlightened religion,
over the vast regions which nominally own our rule, but which lie
useless to us and to mankind To this end, it appears to me that the
whole subject of our colonies calls for a complete and immediate
revision.
While speaking of expense, and the impolicy and hajnatice of our
conduct towards certain outlying portions of our territories, I must
not forget a part of the empire itself, an integral and most important
portion of the United Kingdom—l mean unfortunate Ireland. Our
conduct to Ireland has been, till a few years since, one continued
act of terrible injustice ; and we now wonder that the people,
whom we have treated as slaves for centuries, should not have
the •virtnes'and habits of free men. There is now but one course
of wise policy as regards Ireland. We must establish rigid justice
throughot the land. W e must suffer no party, no sect, no class to
ernedomin ver any other ; and to this maintenance of pea de among
heishitherto contending sons, our efforts must be confined. If we do
More, we shall do serious injustice to the people of England and
Scotland, and render 110 service to those of Ireland. It' we were to-
morrow to trimmer the whole wealth of England to Ireland, we
should only create waste, idleness, and vice. A people must work
out their own regeneration, and acquire wise, frugal, and virtuous
habits, by leading a wise, frugal, and virtuous life. The wealth
that is not acquired by labour is but too often squandered in ex.
travagance.
I have spoken above of extending over our wide and yet unsettled
territories the inestimable benefits of an enlightened religion. This
naturally calls my attention to the situation of religion among our-
selves, both as regards doctrines and establishments.
lam myself a member of the Church of England. I was ein•
cated as a member of the Established Chosen ; and after a care' ul
consideration I have seen no reason to leave the fellowship of my
childhood and youth. But this determination ha- been formed after
consideration, and is the result of rrtS• own evil', uttc ly independent
of that or any other man. What, then, I have demanded for myself
—the right that I have vindicated in my own person—l d- man fo-
all others.. I insist upon religious as well as civil liberty. If my
mind be enthralled by arbitrary will, and I of lal by the suasion of
reason, I am more a slave than if you put my body in chains. While
I demand for all this freedom, wit' ch I have exercise • myself, I
proceed yet further. I hold every coercion on this subject impolitic,
as well as unjust. You may compel to outward observance, snd to
fa se declarations ; you may create hypocris, and discontent ; but at
w- rd of command you cannot make men believe.
With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecate, on all proper
occasions, every attempt to make establishments which exist for the
purpose of promoting any. pecaliar religious opinion State establish-
ments. In a country like ours, of complicated relations, of long-
established habits and opinions, I cannot expect that my opinions on
such a subject should be immediately acceded to; and I am not
prone to feel hurt or to take offence when 1 find men differ from me
concerning it. But though we cannot change at once what has been
long established, we can far more easily prevent new steps in a wrong
direction • and, therefore, to any extension of such religious estab-
lishments'l shall direct unceasing opposition.
Within the narrow limits of an address like the present. I cannot
do more than indicate my views, and touch upon the leading opinions
I hold. From this general view, however, an accurate conception
can be attained by you of the political character of the ro n you
have invited; and an op'portunity will, I hope. be soon afforded me
of explaining, to the satisfaction of all whom the matter may in-
terest, my present feelings and future plans respecting our domestic
policy.
Any exposition, however general. which emitted a reference to
our foreign relations and policy would be indeed incomplete. My
belief on this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining
from all idle intermeddling with the affairs of othe- nations. Every
nation in Europe has at this time enough to occupy its attention in
settling its own affairs ; and the history of Europe. from the year
1830 to the present time, when compared with tee history of Europe
ftom 1793 to 1815, is the best argument which historical experience
can offer in favour of leaving a people to regulate and arrange for
themselves their own internal affairs. Interference in 1793 kindled
the flames of war over the whole world—a war unequalled for the
blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and
disastrous conflicts. Non-interference in 1870 has allowed Europe
a chance of peace, and holds out to us a hope that the struggling
people will, in every nation of the great European faintly, eventually
attain the inestimable benefits of a well-regulated popular Govern-
ment.
I must end, Gentlemen, as I began, by expressing to yon my
hearty thanks for the honour you have conferred on me, and by
placing myself at your dispose', fa' the coming election. I am
ready, when it shall so pl ase you, to present inyself to your notice,
and submit to all such inquiry as you may think right. Raving
nothing to conceal, I have no fear of Inquiry.
I beg to remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful Servant,
J. A. ROEBUCK.
