" BLANCHE and LISETTE," the new Ballad
by the Author and Composer of" Jeannette and Jeannot."
Miss Poole introduced anew Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Glover:
it is an excellent song, and was well sung. Some three years ago
we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were
right : wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean-
nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune
awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty,
quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 2s.

ANOLD G U N.
Come, venerable musket, come,
And have a song from me;
For certainly I owe a sum
Of gratitude to thee.
Thou and myself for years have been
Companions of the field,
Where oft thy shooting powers were seen,
And mine alike revealed.
How often have I lifted up
Thy barrel and thy stock,
While Master Dash, sagacious pup,
Has marked some hen or cock.
And now, once more, respected piece,
Thou'lt act with Dash's snout,
For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease
Is very nearly out.
My shooting coat, from M. and Son,
Is ready for the sport,
Add such an admirable one
Of Moses have I bought.
As long as thou hast marked in air
The children of the wing,
I've never had the luck to wear
A better sort of thing.
Moses and Son may well be sought
By every sporting Don,
When such prime garments may be bought,
As that which I have on.

I EA and PERRINS' WORCESTERSHIRE
.1.4. SAUCE is universally allowed to be the most Piquant and
the Richest in Flavour of any Sauce in use, and for Fish, Gravies
for Roast Meat, Steaks, Game, &c., or a zest for Curries, Soup, Cold
Meat, it is entirely unrivalled.
The unparelleled success of this Sauce having induced imitations,
purchasers are particularly requested to see that the name of LEA
and PERRINS are upon the Label and the Metallic Capsules, as also
to read the Testimonials (which are enclosed with every bottle)
from the residence of Royalty, the principal Club Houses and Ho-
tels in London, Edinburgh, &c. &c., and from private Families in
the country.
Sold by the proprietors, Lea and Perrins, 6, Pere-street, Oxford-

and Sons, Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell, and other Oilmen, London,
and generally by all dealers in sauces.

One hall the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
;ease et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.,:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
-omprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
old broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
ui socisl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
'lament. Honour and justicedensand that health should form au item
the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
,eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
..IEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
3ach (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
-eflned, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
Nl' the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
sttle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by rest Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pampNets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this oh-
ser v.tgea of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
WOLI4 'se done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 28.—The only point worthy
of notice to-day in connexion with the Admiralty
visit is the substitution of the Cormorant steam-sloop
for the Sphynx, as the appointment of Commander H.
Schomberg, the latter vessel having sustained such
extensive injuries by her collision with the merchant
barque Princess as to require some weeks' repair.
With regard to the interchange of the courtesy of
the royal salute with the Russian frigate on Sunday,
we stated that a poor Marine sentinel had been
saddled with the blame of not " reporting" the Rus-
sian's compliment. We had no time, as we stated, at
the late moment at which the information was im-
parted to us, to inquire into its authenticity. We
now find it was an experienced officer of Marines on
duty at the main guard, who stands charged with the
grave offence of not reporting the Russian compli-
ment, and has been placed under arrest accordingly.—
Times.

Messrs. Andrews, Winnyett, and Hamilton, mates,
R.N., passed examinations in gunnery this day, on
board the Excellent, to qualify for the rank of lieu-
tenant.
Wind, W.S.W., light breezes, and cloudy weather.
WOOLWICH, AUG. 28.—The Niger steam-vessel
has her steam up to-day for the purpose of continuing
the series of experiments to test the economy of fuel
required to give a certain amount of evaporation in
her boilers; and tanks have been put up, having their
base upwards of five feet above the upper deck of the
vessel.

The Monkey steam-vessel has also got her steam
up to try the economy of fuel by raking instead of
banking the fires, on a plan submitted by Lieutenant
Halket, R.N.
A shipwright employed on the Nankin, 50 gun
frigate, fell into the hold of that vessel this morning,
and was conveyed home after being attended to by
the surgeon of the yard.

Tan Diernixt 6 Laud.,

From the Sandwich Islands we have accounts ol
the 26th of May inclusive. The Polynesian contains
the following information of the English surveys in
the Pacific :
" SURVEY OF THE WESTERN COAST OF AMERICA,

SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN, ETC.
" Her Britannic Majesty's ship Herald, Ciptain
Kellett, C. 8., which sailed hence on the 19th instant,
left England on the 26th of June, 1845, and touched
at Rio Janeiro, the Falkland islands, Conception,
Valparaiso, and Callao. Thence to New Granada,
where she commenced her special obj,ct of turveying
in the bay ol Choco. Surveyed rivtr Buenaventura
as high up as the town of the same name. This is
the best harbour on the west coast ; but this, even,
has but twelve to sixteen feet of water. After com-
pleting the survey of this bay, proceeded to Panama,
thence to the Straits of Juan de Fuca, in latitude 48
deg. north. Remained in the straits three months,
and surveyed the south part of Vancouver's Island,
and the north part of Oregon Territory in the straits.
" From the Straits of Juan de Fuca the Herald
returned south to San Francisco, in California, sur-
veying some islands on the coast, and reached Mazat-
lan, in Mexico, in November, 1846. Thence down
the Mexican coast to Panama, where she arrived in
the middle of January, 1847. Spent three months
in surveying the Pearl Islands, in Panama Bay,
whence she proceeded to Callao to provision and refit,
and arrived in June.
" After refitting she proceeded to Guayaquil, and
surveyed from Santa Clara Island up to the city of
Guayaquil, a distance of about forty miles. From
this point she completed the survey of the South
American coast as high up as Panama Bay, by Fe-
bruary, 1848.
" Here the Herald received orders from England to
proceed to Kamschatka, to seek out a proper position
for, and to establish and provision her Britannic Ma-
jesty's ship Plover, that she might be in readiness to
communicate with and relieve the wants of Sir John
Franklin, in case he should succeed in finding his
way through from the east. After a very rough and
tedious passage, during which she was towed some
600 miles by her Britannic Majesty's steam-frigate
Samson, she arrived in ninety days at Petropaulov-
skoie, in Asiatic Russia. After recruiting and re-
ceiving every possible civility and attention from the
Russians, she crossed the sea of Kamschatka to
Norton's Sound, in Russian America, to procure
interpreters and baiders (light seal-skin boats), the
latter of which she failed to procure. This employed
her till August, 1848.
" From Norton's Sound the Herald proceeded
northward, and in September anchored off the Island
of Chamisso, in Kotzebue's Sound, in about 67 deg.
N. lat. Here she remained about a month, cruising
about and exploring the bay; but failed to hear any-
thing of Sir John Franklin and his expedition, or of
the Plover, with whom she expected to fall in, and
to establish whom in winter quarters she was
dispatched.

" The Plover left these islands, it will be recol-
lected, on the 24th of August last, too late in the sea-
son, probably, to reach her rendezvous before the
Herald left. She has not since been heard from at
these islands.
" From Kotzebue's Sound the Herald returned to
Petropaulovskoie, and after a short stay left again on
the 21st of October, after having again experienced
the hospitality and kind attentions of the Russian
officers and others of that place.
" From the north, at the approach of winter, the
Herald again turned her prow towards the south, and
after surveying the island of Guadaloupe, which is
about 100 miles to the north of Mazatlan, arrived at
the latter place on the '2lst of November. From
Mazatlan she continued down the coast, touching at
San Bias, and arrived at Panama in January, 1849.
Continued the survey of the coast from Point Male,
the northern point of Panama Bay, to Point Barica,
the southern point of Costa Rica, in let. 8 deg. north.
" This completes the survey of the entire west coast
of South America by the British Government; and,
in fact, the whole South American continent has now
been surveyed by the British and French—by the
latter on the east coast as far south as the River
Plate, and by the former from the Plate round to
eight degrees north in the Pacific.
"From Costa Rica the Herald came direct to these
islands, and arrived here on the Bth of May. After a
short stay here, she sailed again on the 19th for
Petropaulovskoie, to carry out the attempt of the past
year, which she did not then succeed in doing.
-" It was not a little sraiMer'-sesy—obnpligis-coniz
by tbf:4.-6. above information, that of all the places
touched at on the cruise they had found none that
t'qualled Honolulu as a pleasant and agreeable place,
for its intelligent society, and for the peaceful and
orderly character of the town. May such commen-
dations ever be merited.

" We have no means of knowing exactly, but have
estimated the distance sailed by the Herald since
leaving England at 50,000 to 60,000 miles. And
now, instead of turning her course homeward, after a
cruise of nearly four years, she again launches out
among the icebergs of the Arctic sea, in pursuit of an
object that does honour to humanity, and reflect great
credit on the Government that sends her forth. We
hope that success may attend her, and that she may
enjoy the satisfaction of affording relief to an expe-
dition that has awakened the most lively interest and
sympathy of the whole civilized world.
" Surveying voyages, like the one in which the Herald
has been engaged, are not usually attended by those
brilliant incidents that attract the notice of the world,
but their results and benefits are chiefly reduced to
practical value in the form of maps and charts; and
while laborious and self-denying to the officers and
men engaged in them, are equally creditable to those
naticns that sustain them for the benefit of all com-
mercial countries.

"The Pandora, which has been connected with the
Herald in her surveying cruise, is now here, and will
sail in a day or two tor England.
"We have seen it intimated in some of the Ame-
rican prints, that, under the cover of surveying, she
had, in fact, been engaged, in smuggling. We have
good authority for contradicting this assertion, and
for expressing our disbelief of it. As a national
vessel, she was under obligation to render assistance
to British merchants; and doubtless, during the
troubles that have occurred upon the west coast during
the past few years, she may have thus been so em-
ployed. But that a British Government vessel is
justly chargeable with the crime of smuggling, we
have no idea whatever. England has too much trouble
in preventing the violation of her own excise laws,
not to refrain from allowing such a breach, by one of
her commissioned vessels, of the laws of another
kingdom. Self-interest and self respect, had she no
higher motive, would prevent such an infringement
of the rights of others. Her rights England has no
occasion to wave or secure by evasion.

RECOVERY OF THE LOST JOURNALS OF THE
HOUSE OF LORDS.--It may be recoll,cted that at the
great conflagration of the Houses of Parliament, which
took place in 1834, several books anti important papers
were either lost or consumed, amongst which were some
of the manuscript journals of the House of Lords.
Within these few days, however, it has been ascertained
that a portion of the latter at least was not consumed,
and their existence was brought to light in the most sin-
gular manner. It appears a few days since that a gen-
tleman residing at Walworth was passing along the
Walworth-road when his attention was attracted by some
old books, &c., in the shop of Mr. Terry, cheesemonger,
at the corner of Amelia-street, and which the latter had
purchased as waste paper. On closer inspection he dis-
covered no less than twelve books which appeared to be
the journals or daily minutes of the proceedings of the
House of Lords, comprising the following dates:-1780,
1781, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790,1791,1792,1798,1799,1801,
1803, 1805,1806. The gentleman accordingly, on Monday
purchased one of the apparent journals, with which he
repaired to the library of the House of Lords to learn if
it was genuine, when some of the parties there instantly
detained it, and baring been informed where the rest
were, yesterday morning three messengers proceeded to
Mr. Terry's, and purchased the whole 12, which really
proved to be the actual journals of the above-named
dates. The price they paid for these important docu-
ments was merely that of common waste paper, being no
more than 1/. 15s. for nearly ono cwt. The
eaccepar!
given by Mr. Terry is, that he, some timoe, seire
papers,
chased them, with nearly a ton weight orfaft,hono of the

intimated to the gentle-
man who was instrumenta

whether he will receive any reward for his valuable in-
formation.
TEANI
GENERAL NAVIGATION COAIPANY.-The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday
at their offices, 1, Lombard-st Feet; John Wilkie, Esq.,
iu the chair. A report and statement of the accounts
for the half-year ending the 30th of June last were read
and received with mach approbation; by these it ap-
peared that the affairs of the company continued in a
most prosperous state. The usual dividend, free of in-
come-tax, was declared, and thanks being
voted to the
chairman and directors, the meeting separated.
OPENING OF THE COAL EXCHANGE.—We are
authorised to contradict a statement which has appeared
several of the newspapers, to the effect that the New
Coal Exchange will be opened on the 3d of September.
The building will not be completed at that time, and it
will not be publicly amid until it iS ifliehed.
