Gibraltar, May 26, 1849.
Sir,—With reference to my communication of sth inst.,
about the reduction of quarantine on vessels from Eng-
land to three days, 1 have now the honour to acquaint
you that the steam-packet Iberia, which arrived last

formed that all merchant vessels from Great Britain,

We are requested to state that Lord Nugent has
been suffering for the last few days from illness in the coun-
try, and was consequently prevented from voting on the Par-
liamentary Oaths Bill, and is also obliged therefrom to defer
his motion relative to the maintenance of the destitute poor of
England and Wales till Thursday, the 21st of June.
We are sorry to hear that Mr. Cayley has for the
last fortnight been suffering from the effects of ulcerated sore
throat, accompanied with fever, and that he is advised to seek
retirement in the country from his Parliamentary duties for
the present.
TOE ROYAL ETCHINGS.—We are informed that
Mr. Judge, acting upon the advice of his friends, contem-
plates appealing to the Lord Chancellor against the judg-
ment of Viee-Chancellor Knight Bruce on Saturday last.
The preliminary proceeding was taken by Mr. Judge, on
Saturday, immediately after judgment had been given, by
his entering a caveat against enrolling the decree (in each
suit), made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. It appears
that, according to the practice of the Court of Chancery,
this prompt mode of proceeding was necessary to be adopted;
for after a decree has been once enrolled, a suitor, whether
plaintiff or defendant, is deprived of the privilege of appeal-
ing to a higher jurisdiction. Mr. Judge, by pursuing this
course, stays his proceedings for 28 days ; his object being to
obtain an order for an issue to be tried at common law, so
that a jury may decide in whom the property in the "Royal
Etchings' is vested.

BIRTHDAY OF THE KING OF HANOVER.—WlND-
son.—Yesterday being the 79th anniversary of the birthday
of the King of Hanover the bells of St. George's Chapel and
the Church of St. John rang merry peals at intervals through-
out the day. Royal salutes were fired from the corporation
ordnance at noon, and from the battery at Belvidere, near
Virginia Water.
THE WEATHER AND THE Cuors.—After three or
four very sultry days, the weather in Yorkshire underwent
a very satisfactory4hange on Monday night. Shortly after
dusk repeated peals of thunder, accompanied with lightning,
passed over. Leeds, and various other parts of the West
Riding, which was followed by heavy rain, that continued at
intervals nearly the whole of yesterday. The rain has fallen
very opportunely for the grain, potato, and turnip crops, and
will prove highly serviceable to most other descriptions of
produce. The prospects of a good harvest begin to look very
encouraging.
THE ORCHARDS.—The Hereford Journal says—
" We do not remember a "season when the apple blossom
was more abundant ; indeed, the orchards and gardens pre-
sent remarkable luxuriance in this respect, but we cannot
give so very favourable an account of the pear trees. Wall
fruit, too, has suffered severely from the ungenial season.
What is of most importance, the rains have advanced both
the grain and green crops, and potatoes are coming on very
kindly. Appearances here are as favourable as we ever re-
collect, and this is the more gratifying, as the cold and the
excessive damp in the substratum of the ground had caused
an apprehension in the minds of some country people that
the plant would not make its appearance at all. From the
Taunton and Devonshire papers we_ gather that the above
description applies pretty accurately to those districts."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

about twelve o'clock, whrn he was received by the Com-
mandant and the following assemblage of officers
l3allingall, Colonel Mercer, Colonel Willes, Colonel
Garmstone, Lieutenant and Quartermaster Lewis, Lieu-
tenant and Adjutant Stewr.rt, Dr. Irvine, &e. The
division was on parade in line at open order, and pre-
sented arms as the General, Deputy Adjutant-General,
and staff approached, the band playing, and colours fly-
ing, &o. Lord FitzAarence and staff rode down the
line, which broke into open column right in front, and
inspected the men's arms, accoutrements;and necessaries.
After this his Lordship visited the men's quarters and
inspected their bedding; afterwardsi'remounted on the
parade, and the men being drawn up in close column,
asked if any man had any complaint to make. The
noble General then inspected the barracks generally,
which core'uded the movements for to-day. His Lord-
ship and the Deputy Adjutant-General then partook of
a sumptuous deje finer in the temporary mess-room of the
division. The inspection will be proceeded with to-
morrow:

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 4.—About nine o'clock yesterday
morning three ships of war were observed in the offing
to the eastward. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain H. L.
Massie, shortly afterwards saluted the flag of Port-
Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, entered the Sound by
the Eastern Channel, with a light southerly wind, and
moored inside the Breakwater, near the Camber. The
Reynard, screw•schooner, 11, Commander Calcraft, sig-
nalled Mount Wise for orders, and, on receipt, followed
the Cleopatra, saluted inside, swept through the Sound
by the aid of her screw, and went up Hamoaze. At
twelve o'clock the auxiliary screw steam -frigate Arro-
gant, 46, under canvass, reached the western entrance,
where her courses were hauled up. She then rounded
the Breakwater, saluted the Commander-in-Chief, and
moored to the westward of the Camber. The Cleopatra
is from Chatham, for the East Indies. The Reynard 18
from Portsmouth, bound to the Cape deVerds and Sierra
Leone, to join the flag of Sir F. Collier. The Arrogant
lett Portsmouth on Thursday, and is on her way to the
Mediterranean.

The Salamander steam-ship arrived on the 30th ult.
from Woolwich and Portsmouth.
Orders were received this morning from the Admiralty
for the dispatch of the convict-ship Stately, Captain
Girder, to Hobart-town. The Stately has been detained
through the sickness of the prisoners (females), who are
now c..:nvale:cFnt.

Light southerly winds, and fine warm weather.

RAILWAY TO GALWAY.—There was a numerous
meeting' in the Town Court-house of Galway on Thursday,
at which the principal inhabitants attended. Resolutions
were adopted approving of the arrangement entered into be-
tween the directors of the Midland Great Western, the Gal-
way deputation, and her Majesty's Government, and pledg-
ing the meeting to afford their best co-operation and aid to-
wards the undertaking.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.--In pursuance
of directions to that effect from Dr. Wiseman, the
Roman Catholic Vicar-Apostolic of the London District,
and a notification to that effect made on the previous
Sunday, collections were made. on Sunday last in every'
Roman Catholic church and chapel in the metropolis and
throughout the suburban counties, for the erection and
completion of new edifices for the celebration of divine
worship and the furtherance in other regards of the
Roman Catholic faith in this country. In the appeals
which were made in the several places on Sunday for
the purpo,e mentioned, very extraordinary accounts
were detailed or the increase of buildings erected or pur-
chased for Roman Catholic worship in England, and
especially in and near the metropolis, during the past
year, and a confident hope was expressed on the part of
the bishop and clergy that the community would by
their generous contributions render them every assist-
ance to effect the advancements of the objects in view.
STANFIELD•HALL.—The sale at Stanfield-hall is
attracting great notice, and is likely to be well attended.
During the present week there have been numerous
visitors to the locality, and the mansion of the late Re-
corder has been inspected most minutely by a great
many persons. The furniture, &c., remains in pretty
much the same state as it was in at the time of the mur-
ders; even the mat on which Ai r. Jermy Jermy fell and
breathed his last has not been removed; nor are the
stains of blood yet effaced from the cocoa-nut carpet on
which the elder Mr. Jermy expired. The great object
of attraction was the drawing-mom—the furniture in
which is very splendid, in the Louis Qtatorze style, and
at the same time being in most excellent taste. The
other apartments are well furnished, some of the b& d-
rooms luxuriously; and the mansion throughout is fitted
up with every comfort and convenience for the English
gentleman. There are two portraits of the late Mr. Jermy
in the house, and a few good pictures worthy the attention
of the connoisseur. The discovery of the blunderbuss on the
Potash-farm still continues to be the subject of convey
cation, and it is considered singular that it was not
found at the time when the premises were, as it wets
understood, so closely and narrowly searched. Rush
left behind him a document which ho intended at one
time to have submitted to his lawyer, as the ground-
work of his defence. He did not do so, however, but
he did not destroy the paper, in which occurs the
following passage As soon as Miss Sandford was
in her room I went down in my slip-shoes, and took my
outside dress and my boots I had been in the habit of
wearing when I went out in the night after poachers, as
I did not wish to be recognised, and hid them in t"
muck in the shed, in the yard, by the dairy window:
It is not material that those things should
be discovered till after the evidence is given against we,
because that outside dress will completely clear me as
not being the person seen in the hall the night of the
murder, and yet it is almost as important the parties
have described should be made out, which I have ne
doubt can he done." The dress and boots have been
fount —Norfolk Chronicle.
f
MARYLEII SEE THEATRE.—A dramatic version - o
Dombey and Son has been produced at this theatre with much
success. The various characters are exceedingly well " made
up" after the engravings in the book—a great point in adaP"
tations of the sort— and considering the undramatic nature
of the story, it has been skilfully managed. The illness 0
Mrs. Mowatt leaves Miss F. Vining the sole heroine of thee
stage, and she shows her versatility by acting the cold Edit];
Dombey and the lively Violante (in the Wonder) in °II..
evening. Mr. Davenport's Don Felix does him great credit,
as a spirited and intelligent piece of acting.
CoRRBSPONDENca WITH HAMBURGII, VIA HULL.

THE SERPENTINE RIVER.—It is pleasing to obe
serve that this extensive piece of water, contributing 5°
largely as it does to the beauty of Hyde Park and KW
aington Gardens, and to the enjoyment and recreation
of so large and important a portion of the metropolitan
populazion, is now restored to its purity and wholesonn
ness. Dr. Tilt has at least done this good by his last
year's pamphlet ; he has obtiined from the Woods and
Forests the partial closing of the sewer which used to
_.
empty itself into the Serpentine, and also, a much great"
supply of water, which the Earl of Carlisle, according
to Dr. Tilt's suggestion, now causes to be drawn fr°re
Trafalgar-square. From the wholesome condition of t°
water, the watermen now find a daily increase of el?:
ployment; and the amateur rowers resume their health"
ful exercise and enliven the sc,,ne by calling into regat;
sition the various light end elegant boats which are
afloat, in constant readiness.
THE DERBY CASUALTIES.—We regret to have t°
notice another accident on the Derby-day, arising ir°l3l.
41pable negligence ani furious driving. Dr. Hunt°
Lane, of Brook street, Grosvenor square, was returning
on foot from visiting a patient at Clapham Rise,
happening to be next to the road, he was struck in the
back by the shaft of a carman's cart in driving past at
reckless rate; and being knocked down, the wheels wen
over his legs, whilst his head was under the body of the
xr•hicle. His escape from being crushed to death W
most miraculous.
