ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—Vice-Admi
ral 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 Charks 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 Taut. 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
manceuvre 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 fl ig 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, ar.d are to have 7s. 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 spar; sailed from Plymouth Sound on
Sunday, at noon, with a fair wind.

The Hamottze 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 Captain 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 I3alliston, Acting Master in command of
the Myrtle port tender, has received his appointment to
the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, for service in hut.
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 Firsclarence, 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 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 Or WILLIAM INGRAM, AN ABER-
DEENSHIRE POET.—The Aberdeen Journal mentions the
demise, on the 19th ult., of William Ingram, author of a
small volume ot 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 worthrman, 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., ot Italian Villa, a gentleman whose
name.has just been added to the commission of the peace
fur the county of Gloucester. According to the evi-
dence, the complainant being in the parish church last
Sunday evening, after standing some time in the aisle,
observed a large pew partly unoccupied, and was pro-
ceeding to take a seat therein when Mr. Harford, one of
the occupants, in the most violent manner, seized him by
the collar, and ejected him by force; Captain Steel's
hand being squeezed in the scuffle agatnq the door. The
charge appears to have been clearly proved, as well as
by Captain Steel's own evidence as by that of ether
parties in the pew at the time; the only evidence ten
dered for the defence being the very equivocal and
equivocating testimony of Mr. liarford'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 ttle result, adjourned their decision until Saturday.
The excuse urged by Mr. Ilarfore's solicitor for the
extraordinary conduct of his client was, that the pew in
question being a tacultied pew, which, by the recent
death of its former owner, had come into Mr. Harford's
possession, he was anxious to establish his right, and,
it would appear, selected the occasion, the time, and
place for doing so. R. S. Lingwood, Esq., conducted the
case for Captain Steel, who, it seems, is a magistrate and
puty lieutenant of the county of Dorset,—Cheltenham
Looker On.

CHELMSFORD, Aram 5 —We had to-dav an extremely dull

BARNET GREAT CATTLE FAIR. This very extensive and
important cattle fair commenced yesterday. The supply ex-
ceeded in number the first day of last year. The increase
may be chiefly accounted for from the sellers not submitting
to the ruinous prices 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 buyers were very numerous, and as early as nine
o'clock some of the prime.st beasts were selected. The follow-
ing were the top prices:—Best Devons three-years old, 10/ to
121; second rates, 8/ to 91; Herefords, 8 to b/ lOs ; best
Scots 71 to 91 per lead; -Sussex beasss, most of which were
sold to go to work, made from 12/ to 15/ per head ; Welsh and
Ayrshire beasts were offered at very low prices, but few lots
being sold ; best Yorkshire cows, with a calf by the side,
made from 141 to 16t; in calves, three-years old, 10/ to 13/.
The prices generally were from 20 to 30 per cent. below those
of last year. There was a full fair of horses of every descrip-
tion, size, and quality, with a great number of Welsh and
foreign ponies; prime young cart-horses, suitable for London
work, sold freely at from 50 to 65 guineas each. Nags, for
riding or driving, from four to six years old, brought high
prices, from 40 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 great clearance made of cattle and horses, but a
number is left for this day's fair.

_DVERTISEMENT.] —110110 Way's Ointment and
Pies again Triumphant in the Cure of a Bad Leg of
Ten Yt ars' Duration.—Extract of a letter from Mr.
Hatris, Alne Hill, Alcester, M,Arch 14, 1849, to Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir: I suffered for upwards of ten years
with a bad hg, in which were five running sores, and
although I tried various methods of treatment as pre-
scribed by different medic4l men, still it got worse.
Seeing in the newspapers notices of the cures your va-
luable medicines have performed, I determined on trying
them, and by their use, and the blessing of God, a per-
fect curt• of my leg was effected six months ago. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

SUICIDE OF AN OLD LADY.--Yesterday, an in-
quest was held at the Old Basing House, Kingaland-
road, on the body of Susannah Benson, aged 66 years.
The deceased was the widow of Mr. John Benson, a
horse hair manufacturer, who had died suddenly some
years since, having the deceived an 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 wpuld not last till she was dead. She was
last seen alive on Thursday evening, when she said,
" she thought she would die that night." On the fol-
lowing morning, she was found suspended by a black
crape handkerchief from a rail of her bedstead, quite
dead. Verdict—Temporary insanity.
CHEAP AND INVALUABLE DENTIFRICE.—DissoIve
two ounces of borax in three pints of 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 torturous adhesion,
produces a pearl. like whiteness, arrests decay, and in-
duces a healthy action to the gums.
