PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 7.—The Superb, 80, Captain
Purcell, at Queenstown, we learn by a letter from
that station, is ordered to fill up her complement from
500 to 750 men. The ship lay at Spithead about
three quarters of a year, with barely enough hands on
board to take care of her on a squally day, and only
half enough to man the guns on board had she been
" wanted. During this time of inaction ships by the
half-dozen were on the home station stripping, paying-
off, and throwing their crews upon the several
parishes ; and this even after the number of seamen
:Mowed upon the estimates was short some thousands.
What has been the result? That when men were
wanted they could not be found; and even a 12 gun
brig, the most tempting craft in the navy for seamen,
could not get men to enter for her. Steamers and
tenders are then sent to the mercantile ports and along
the coast to tout for sailors, but with what success
too apparent to need mention. The Leander, 50,
new dashing first class frigate, with a popular
captain, is next put in commission, but she could not
get manned without entering some of the off-scouring:
from some of the other ports, and has made up her
complement with the greatest trouble and difficulty,
and the indefatigable personal attention of Captain
llacres.

The Leander, 60, Capt. Dacres, left her moorings
at 138 P.m. to-day, and worked out of harbour in first-
rate style under double reefed topsails, spanker, and
jib. On leaving the harbour she let fall her courses,
and saluted the Commander-in-Chief on passing tht
King's Rooms. On rounding the Spit, the wind
being south-west by west, very fresh, she was obliged
to make a third tack to come up to the anchorage ;
she then shortened sail very smartly, and anchored at
240 P.M. She steers and stays remarkably well and
easy. Her draught of water, on leaving her moor
ings, was 19it. 9in. forward, and 21ft. Sin. aft. Shi
is a ship that any country ought to be proud of
When ready for sea, it is reported the Lords of the
Admiralty, or some of the Board, will inspect her.

remain at St. Helen's during the prevalence of the

THE CONSERVANCY OF THE THAMES.
Mr. JOHN WOOD brought up a report from the
Consolidated Committee, on the subject of a report
recommending the Court to open an official negotia-
tion with her Majesty's Government for an arrange-
ment of all matters connected with the regulation of
the River Thatnez. It certified that the committee
had had several conferences with members of her Ma-
jesty's Government upon that important subject, and
had hoped during the last session of Parliament
to have come to a satisfactory arrangement—that
they were still making every effort to accomplish that
desirable object—that they recommended that they
should be empowered to give the necessary notices
of an application to Parliament in the next session of
a Conservancy Bill, in order that the Court might
be in a position to carry out any arrangement which
might be made with her Majesty's Government,
or to take such other course upon that important
subject as might be deemed advisable.
The report was agreed to.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.
The following report from the Coal, Corn, and
Finance Committee was also unanimously, and with-
out any discussion, agreed to :
" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed of your
committee, to whom it was referred, on the 13th
July, 1848, to negotiate for a loan of the sum of
80,0001. for building a new prison at Holloway ; and
to them on the 16th October last it was referred to
consider and report the most advisable plan for raising
the necessary funds for completing the new street
from Cannon-street to St. Paul's Churchyard, do
certify that, on the 21st October, 1847, your com-
mittee reported that the sum of 20,0001., set aside
annually for the formation of a City Improvement
Fund, by order of your Court, 25th September, 1845,
would place at your disposal for further improve-
ments a sum not exceeding 200,0001., in addition to
the sum of 300,0001, already charged on that fund ;
and your Court having, on the 29th of October, 1847,
agreed to the report of your committee, it only remains
rill- your committee to report on this occasion that
they see no reason to make any recommendation
otherwise than that contained in their said report of
the 21st October, 1847, and which met with the
Approbation of your Court. We arc, therefore, of
opinion that the Remcmbrancer should be instructed
to insert in the Bill fur the completion of the
improvements referred to, similar clauses with
reference to the raising of the necessary
funds to those contained in the London (City)
Improvement Act of 1847, and that he should
give the necessary notices accordingly. That with
reference to raising the sum of 80,000/. for the new
prison, and 20,0001, the sum which your Court has
tuthorised to be expended in improving Billinsgate
Market and the avenues thereto adjoining, we beg to
report that we have been attended by Mr. Scott, clerk
to the Chamberlain, who in pursuance of our instruc-
tion had made inquiries as to raising those amounts,
and he reported to us that without the usual Parlia-
mentary powers, contained in the several Improvement
Acts, it would be difficult, notwithstanding the exist-
ing abundance of money, to obtain a loan upon
reasonable terms, but that he entertained no doubt
whatever that with such Parliamentary sanction and
powers the money would be raised very advantageously,
and we, considering that both the purposes referred
to, namely, the removal of the House of Correction
and the enlargement of the market at Billingsgate,
are both of them inseparably connected with improve-
ments, we are of opinion that Parliament would allow
the insertion of the requisite power for raising the
funds, in a general improvement Act ; and we recom-
mend that the Remembrancer should be instructed
accordingly. Should it happen, however, that the
orders and regulations of Parliament preclude the
insertion of the powers in a general Act, we are of
opinion that it would not be expedient to apply for a
separate Act for that purpose.
A long discussion took place upon a report brought
up by Mr. Blake, the Chairman of the Bridge-house
Committee, recommending that Alderman Humphrey
should be permitted to make certain deviations from
his contract for building at Ihye's Wharf, Southwark. ,

It stated that Alderman Humphery explained the
value and extent of the alterations proposed to be
made by him, and stated that, Ifrom the alteration
which had taken place in the trade of the port of
London since he entered into his contract, the exten-
sive warehouses which he was thereby required to
erect would be almost valueless, in consequence of
the limited extant of river frontage, which was at
present only 130 feet, whereas, by the construction of
a wet dock, as shown upon the plan laid before your
Court, a water frontage of 550 feet would be secured,
whereby not only his interest, as tenant of the
property, but the reversionary interest of the com-
mittee, as the freeholders, would be greatly increased
in value. The report concluded with recommending
that Alderman Humphery should be permitted to
deviate from the contract entered into by him on the
sth of October, 1846, by constructing a wet dock and
erecting warehouses agreeably to the plans laid before
the Court, and that Alderman Humphery be re-
quired to enter into and execute a proper contract or
other instrument, for carrying the arrangement into
effect.

The COURT agreed to the report, and referred it

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
All doubt as to the fate of the Mannings has at last
been set at rest by the following document, which was
received yesterday by Mr. Keene, the Governor of
Horsemonger-lane Gaol :
" Surrey to Wit,—Francis William Gamul Palmer,
Esq., sheriff of the county aforesaid, to Thomas
Keene, keeper of her Majesty's gaol at Horsemonger-
lane, in and for the county aforesaid.—Whereas, at
the general sessions of the delivery of the gaol of our
Lady the Queen of Newgate, holden for the jurisdic-
tion of the Central Criminal Court, at Justice-hall, in
the Old Bailey, in the suburbs of the city of London,
by adjournment, on Friday, the 26th day of October,
1849, before Sir Frederick Pollock, Knight, Lord
Chief Baron of the Court of our Lady the Queen of
Exchequer, Sir W. H. Maule, Knight, and Sir Cress-
well Cresswell, Knight, two of the Justices of our
said Lady the Queen, and Justices of her Court of
Common Pleas, the Hon. Charles Ewan Law, one of
the counsel of our said Lady the Queen, learned in
the law, Recorder of the City of London, and others,
their fellow-justices of our said Lady the Queen,
assigned to deliver the said gaol of Newgate of the
prisoners therein being, Frederick George Man-
ning and Maria Manning, his wife, were attainted
of the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, for which
the said Frederick George Manning and Maria Man-
ning, his wife, stand condemned to be severall hanged
by the necks until they be severally dead. These
are therefore, in the Queen's name, strictly to charge
nd command you, all excuses and pretences what-
soever being set apart, that you fail no', but on
Tuesday nexP, the 13th day of November instant,
between the hours of eight of the clock in the fore-
noon and two of the clock in the afternoon of the
same day, you cause to be hanged. by the neck until
they severally ba dead the said Frederick George
Manning and Maria Manning, his wife, at the place
appointed and used for that purpose, and their bodies
when dead you cause to be buried within the precincts
of the said prison ; and for your so doing this shall be
your sufficient warrant and authority.
" Given under the seal of my office, this 31 day of
November, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and forty-nine.
" By the same Sheriff."
THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS.
Shortly after the decision of the judges was known
as to the reserved point, information was forwarded to
the governor and chaplain of Horsemonger• lane Gaol,
so that Maria Manning might be made acquainted
with the fact, as she has since her condemnation con-
fidently relied on being successful, which has mate-
rially buoyed up her spirits. These functionaries
accordingly had an interview with her in her cell, and
the Rev. Chaplain informed her that she must prepare
herself to meet her Maker, as the sentence pronounced
upon her by the judge at her trial would be carried
into effect on Tuesday morning next. She seemed
extremely surprised at the announcement, and ex-
claimed that she had been unjustly tried and convicted,
which her unfeeling husband could prove. lle could
unravel the whole of the circumstances relative to the
murder, and if he told the truth it would exculpate
her from any Participation in the dreadful crime. She
seemed rather excited at first, but afterwards put her
hands to her face and cried bitterly..
.The chaplain
exhorted her to employ the few remaining hours she
had to live in prayer and repentance, and implored
her to make a full confession of the crime for which
she is convicted. She asserted that she was not the
party who committed the murder, and she had nothing
to confess. It is, however, believed that now she finds
that there is no hope for her, she will make some
extraordinary statement before her execution, and
that she wi▪ ll have aninterview with her husband.
The latter has several times expressed his anxiety to
see her, which has been communicated to her. He
continues i▪ n a very depressed state, eating hardly
anything, although everything he wishes for con-
sistent with the regulations of the gaol is afforded
him, He occupies all his time in reading religious
works and writing.

WEST LONDON ANTI-ENCLOSURE SOCIETY.—At
the last meeting, s:h instant, at the Literary Instituti ii,
Carlisle- street, Edgeware-road, Mr. G. Wiggall in the
chair, a most stormy discussion ensued respecting the
attempted division of the society by two members. So
determined were such members that the society should
not leave Ellis's Rooms, that as a last and only means of
regaining even a part of its library deposited there, the
secretary, who is also the founder of the society, was
compelled, against his will, and the expressed desire of
Earl Stanhope and other absent members, to propose a
division of the property, reserving to himself the privi-
lege of not acting with the minority who had compelled
him to such a course; hence the re-appearance of the
society in Marylebone, where the majority desire to see
the remainder.of their property. The secretary declared
that this attempt to form a St. Pancras branch was
nothing less than an attempt to wring from him one-
half of the property he had accumulated for his little
society, and a hich was the result of most unwearied toil
both day and night. The numbers in question contended
the contrary; but as Mr. Griffiths denied the legality of
the resolution he was compelled to propose against his
will, it was agreed that a special meeting of members
should be convened at Mr. Elli.'s Rooms, 8, George-
street, Euston-square, the ensuing Monday, after seven,
when the question is to be decided by a show of hands.
This attempt to form a branch against the will of the
founder, and Earl Stanhope and the majority of the
members, has excited great suspicion. Should the at-
tempt succeed, a new Anti-Enclosure Society will, iu all
probality, be the result.
A FAMILY FIRE ESCAPE.--In order to prevent
(says a correspondent of the Builder) the awful sacrifice
of life which so frequently occurs from fire, it seems de-
sirable that Government should offer a handsome re-
ward to the inventor of a fire-escape, which, by the sim-
plicity of its machinery, and the lowness of its price,
would be available for all classes. I mean an apparatus
that every family could possess. If, however, the Go-
vernment decline encouraging so laudable an object, I am
sure the public would respond to any call that might be
made upon them, to testify their gratitude for ingenuity
so applied, and I would therefore suggest that mechanics
should (if only on the ground of humanity), direct their
best attention to this subject, and do their utmost to pro-
duce an apparatus which should be among the " lions" of
the proposed national exhibition of 1851.
THE WEATHER.—Since our last we have had a
great change in the weather—indeed, the true com-
mencement of winter. It was ushered in, as is not
unusual, by a thick fog, which hung over the town the
whole of Saturday. Sunday was cloudy and wet;
the night was windy, with a slight fall of sleet
towards Monday morning. On Monday there were
showers of rain and hail, at short intervals, all day, and
the night'was stormy. On Tuesday morning there was a
copious fall of snow; and more fell at intervals, occa.
sionally mingled with rain and sleet, during the whole
day. Of course the temperature became much lower; the
thermometer which on Friday ranged between 56 deg.
and 44 deg. Fahrenheit, on Saturday was between 52
deg. and 39 deg., and on Monday, not higher than 50
deg., while it dropped to 37 deg. On Monday, nearly
eight-tenths of an inch of rain fell. We see by the
telegraphic returns, on Tuesday morning, that frost had
been experienced only at Glasgow, Edinburgh, and
Newcastle, while at the southern ports, and in other
parts of the kingdom, the weather was very fine :
G 1 isgow, west, frost; Edinburgh, west, frost; Newcastle,
S.W., frost; Normanton, west, cloudy ; Hull, S.W.,
cloudy; Bradford, west, cloudy; Skipton, S.E., cloudy;
Leeds, S.E. cloudy; York, S.W. very fine; Brandon, S.

THE NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday a private
meeting of the committee of the National Society was
held at the central school-rooms, Broad Sanctuary, for
the purpose of taking into consideration a communica-
tion received by the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion. The meeting was numerously attended by bishops,
noblem, n, and members of Parliament interested in the
question. The Earl of Harrowby filled the chair in the
absence of the two archbishops, aed the Rev. J. G.
Lonsdale, secretary to the society, read the communica-
tion from the Committee of Council on account of which
the meeting had been convened. It explained at some
length the operation of the law and the views of their
Lordships on the terms of trust deeds in certain proposed
cases, as where the managers of schools are required to
be communicants of the Church of England, where a
bishop or arbitrators were empowered to declare a
teacher unfit for his office, or where a committee of ma-
nagement, in violation of the terms of the trust deed,
neglect or refuse to dismiss a tescher in pursuance of the
decision of the bishop or the award of the arbitrators.
The document further conveyed the expression of their
Lordships' disinclination to admit of any further modi-
fications than those already conceded on the subject of
an appeal on questions not relating to religious instruc-
tion. A lengthened discussion took place with reference
to this communication, in which the Bishops of Ox'ord,
Salisbury, and Bangor, the Earl of Harrowby, Arch-
deacon Sinclair, Mr. G. C. Talbot, M.P., Mr. Colqu-
houn, and others, joined. At the close of the proceedings,
which lasted nearly four hours, a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up a letter to the Committee of Council
on the subject which had been under consideration.
A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT.—A farm servant in the
neighbourhood of Castle Douglas had been paying his
addresses to the daughter of a small farmer in the same
district, and last week succeeded in persuaJing her to
elope with him. He was not satisfied, however, with a
portionless lass, and acting under his advice, she took
with her 151. of her father's money, and a est filled
with clothes, blankets, cheese, butter, and various other
articles. The couple reached Dumfries on Wednesday,
and remained till Thurday morning at an inn, with the
intention of proceeding to Manchester, where the de-
ceiver proposed having the marriage ceremony per-
formed. lie had led the credulous girl to believe that
ho had saved a large sum of money which was lodged
in a bank here, and he went out in the morning saying
he was about to draw a portion of it. After waiting in
vain some time for his return, the suspicions of the de-
serted fair one wero aroused, and she soon discovered
that her scoundrel lover had eloped by railway for Glas-
gow, leaving her, but taking both money and chest with
him. Information was given forthwith to the police
and a Stewartry officer dispatched to the metropolis cf
the west, who succeeded in apprehending the fugitive
from love and law on board of a steamer bound for Lon-
donderrv. We have not heard what:has become of the
dupe, but we hope she has returned in sorrow and re-
pentence to her father's roof, resolved in future to turn a
deaf ear to those wooers who think more of the tether
than the daughter.—Dumfries Courier.

LONDON AND Nonni-WESTERN RAILWAY.—With
the c3mmencement of the month a new and important
system of acceleration was °Meted in all the mail trains
on this line, and by which an hour is gained to passengers
and correspondence at all the principal termini, such as
Liverpool, Manchester, Holyhead, Dublin, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and other places. The speed on some portions
of the line is at express pace, and the average increase
in the rate of speed is about five miles per hour. This
improvement is the result of an arrangement just come
to between tho Postmaster-General and the railway
authorities.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,
THE MAID OF ORLEANS.
By the Author of
" Whitefriars," " Owen Tudor," &c.
" A romance rarely equalled in our day for vigour, brilliancy, pa-
thos, and dignity of style. It is a work of surpassing interest, in
which a peat subject is handled with a vigorous appreciation of mo-
tives and character, a facile and graceful power of description, and
that rare perspicuous command over the ideal of an intricate plot,
and numerous array of characters, which bespeak the possession of
the higher attributes of the romancist. The glories and the wrongs
of the heroic maid have never found a chronicler more worthy of
commemorating them than the gifted author of the work now before
us." —Weekly Chronicle.
