of Vice-Admiral Warren, of Portsmouth, is appointed
to the command of her Majesty's ship Trincomalee, 26, at

and men.

A Court-martial was held this day on board the
Victory, for the trial of Dr. J. Caldwell, supernumerary
surgeon on board the Spiteful, charged by Commander
Meads with repeated acts of drunkenness. After a careful
investigation of the facts, the charges were declared by
the Court to be fully proved, and they sentenced him to
be dismissrd her Majesty's service. The case only
occupied two hours. The Court was an unusually full
one, and was composed of Rear-Admiral Parker, C. 8.,
President; Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, Ii C. 8.;
Captain John Pascoe, of the Victory; Captain M. H.
Dixon, of the Caledonia; Captain Sir J. Stirling, Tint.,
of the Howe; Captain the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus

A fine teak vessel of 600 tons, named Sir George
Pollock, was launched on Saturday, the 20th of March
last, from the building-yard of Mr. Mould, at Moulmein,
in the East Indies. She is an improved model of the
Sir Robert Sale, constructed by the same enterprising
builder. She attracted a great concourse of people in
that infant colony, one of the finest teak-wood countries

THE PATENT Laws.—Attentioll at the
n
general election is sought to be called to the preesenslit ionpg.
pressive nature on the poorer classes of the law of letters
patent. It is certainly high time some modification of
the law took place, as they act with great discourage-
ment to the inventive genius of the poor artizan from
whom very frequently emanates many a useful and import-
ant invention, which has only served to enrich his more
affluent employer, and frequently placing him in a worse
position than previously. The present exorbitant charges
for letters patent for the United Kingdom is 4001.,
whereas a 15 years patent in France may be had for 151.,
and 4/. 3s. 4d. annually, in addition ; 1n Belgium and
Holland a much lower charge is made.
