WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
We extract from the Swan River News the following
notice of the coal samples sent home from this colony:
—We are this month prepared to lay before our readers
the resu't of he ex truireation we promised to have
ma .e, of the ,eim vies of quasi coal found in the Murray
district, Wesv,ii Au- tralia, as reported in the " Sup-
plet»ent Evreictlinary" to our journal of November
last. We had origienlly placed the invustigation in the
I hands et. Dr. Seetiern, but in consequence of the ill-
ness of that gentleman, it Was transferred to Mr. Wm.
Stott, one of the most experienced practical coal workers
in the country, whi is constantly engaged in making
r.. s, arches am ,tig the coal-fields, and tests of their
produce. lite tell- wing is the report sent into us by
this genti, nein t---‘• I have tried part of the specimen

lie a .kinti of ,h•;le, and the rest partaking of the qualities

v• urn an opinion in favour of boring,

and Vat the sides of them, where rocks and

It wouli also b.• vi,able to look the brooks carefully
through after high floods have taken
place, as they
oft ntirnei bring coal to light, or something from which
it is not difficult to ascertain that coal is very probably
lying there. Should anything of this kind be observed,
then, by digging several holes a alert depth, proof
might be had whether they really existed or not. With-
out these guides, in an unproved country, it would not, I
think, be good policy to go to the expense of boring.

THE ARMY.

[A ROMANCE IN STAGE LIFE.

A. BILL for limiting the TIME of SERVICE in the ARMY,
and for amending the Acts for rendering effective the
Services of the Chelsea and Greenwich Out-pensioners.
Whereas it is expedient to amend the system of enlistment
now in use in her Majesty's land forces; be it enacted, by the
Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and
consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in
this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the
same, that after the passing of this Act, no person shall he
enlisted to serve her Majesty as a soldier for a longer term
than ten years in the infantry, or twelve in the cavalry,
trtillery, or other ordnance corps, to be reckoned from the
day on which the recruit shall have been attested, if lie
hall have stated himself to be then of the age of eighteen
'ears, or if not, then from the day on which he will complete
lie age of eighteen years, to be reckoned according to the
age stated in his attestation; and the question directed to
be put to any recruit at the time of his being attested, as to
eis willingness to be attested to serve her Majesty, shall, after
the passing of this Act, be put in the form given in the sche
dule marked (A) annexed to this Act.
And be it enacted, that any soldier, after completing the
term of limited service for which he shall have first engaged,
and being approved by his commanding officer, or other com-
petent military authority, as a fit person to continue in her
Majesty's service as a soldier, may at any time be re-engaged
to serve her Majesty for any term not exceeding eleven years
in the infantry and twelve years in the cavalry and artillery,
ipon making a declaration in the form mentioned in the
form given in the schedule marked (B), and annexed to
this Act, before any one of her Majesty's justices of the peace
in Great Britain or Ireland, or if not in Great Britain or
Ireland, before any person who under any Act now in force,
or which shall hereafter be in force, for punishing mutiny
and desertion, and for the better payment of the army and
their quarters, has or shall have power to attest soldiers for
her Majesty's service out of Gt eat Britain or Ireland.
Provided always and be it enacted, that both the first and
second term of limited service for which any soldier shall
have so engaged, may be prolonged for such further time,
not exceeding one year in time of._peace (4.. two in time of
war, as shall be directed by the commanding officer on any
foreign station ; and that any soldier who shall give notice to
his commanding officer, after completing his second term of
limited service, that he is desirous of continuing in her
Majesty's service, and being approved by his commanding
officer or other competent military authority, may be con-
tinued in her Majesty's service as a soldier so long as he
shall desire to be so continued, and until the expiration of
three calendar months after he shall have given notice to his
commanding officer of his wish to be discharged, and for that
purpose shall be considered in all respects during such time
as if his term of service was still unexpired.
And be it enacted, that soldiers who may not have served
a sufficient time to entitle them to a permanent pensi.,n, under
any royal warrants or regulations now in force, or which
may hereafter be made, and who may be discharged at the
end of their engagement, or who have been or may be dis-
charged for disability or at their own request, after such term
of service as to her Majesty may seem fit, shall be entitled to
have their names registered for prospective or deferred pen-
sions in such manner as her Majesty may direct; the said
pensions to commence after such period, and upon such con-
ditions of servite, in the meantime, with the local companies
of pensioners, as her Majesty may prescribe.
And be it enacted, that all persons whose claims for any
such prospective or deferred pension shall have been so regis-
tered, shall be liable to be enrolled with and as part of the
local force for the preservation of the peace established under
an Act passed in the seventh year of the reign of her Ma-
jesty, intituled, "An Act for rendering more effective the
services of such out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital as shall
be called out to assist in preserving the public peace," and an
Act passed in the last session "f Parliament, intituled, "An Act
for amending the Act for rendering effective the services of the
Chelsea out-pensioners, arid extending it to the out-pensioners
of Greenwich Hospital," and shall be deemed to be within
the provisions of the said Acts, as fully as if they were out-
pensioners of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea in the actual re-
ceipt of their pensions ' • and every offence which, in the case
of a pensioner, would be punishable by forfeiture of his pen-
sion, shall be punishable in the case of any person . having a
claim to such prospective or deferred pension by forfeiture of
such claim.
And whereas the provisions of the said Acts, and of an Act
passed in the sixth year of the reign of her Majesty, intituled
"An Act to amend the laws relating to the payment of out-
pensioners of Chelsea," have been found beneficial, and it is
expedient to extend them to her Majesty's coloniee and pos-
sessions beyond the seas; be it enacted, that the provisions
of the said Act of the sixth year of the reign of her Majesty
shall extend to all her Majesty's colonies and possessions be-
yond the seas; and the provisions of the said Act of the
seventh year of the reign of her Majesty, and of the last
session of Parliament, and of this Act, shall apply to all out-
pensioners of Chelsea Hospital, and to such of the out-pen-
sioners of Greenwich Hospital as may have served in the
Royal Marines, and to all discharged soldiers whose claims
to a deferred pension have been registered as aforesaid,
now residing or who may hereafter reside in any of her
Majesty's colonies and possessions beyond the seas, in which
any officers shall have been appointed pursuant to the said
Act of the sixth year o! the reign of her Majesty, for the
payment and superintendence of the said out-pensioners ; and
that it shall be lawful for her Majesty from time to time, by
warrant under the royal sign manual, to fix the number of
men to be enrolled in every such colony and possession as a
local force for the preservation of the peace in such colony or
possession, or in any district thereof, and to cause them to
be armed and equipped, and called out for inspection or
exercise on any number of days not exceeding twelve in
each year, as the governor or person administering the
government of such colony or possession for the time being
shall direct, under the same penalties for non-attendance and
other offences as are provided by the said Acts or any of
them; and the number of men enrolled in any such colony
or possession shall not be counted in the number of men
authorised to be enrolled in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland under the said Acts or any of them.
And whereas by the first-recited Act it is provided, that
one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or, in
case of emergency, any person or persons bearing the war-
rant of the Secretary of State for that purpose, may call out
the said enrolled pensioners in aid of the civil power for pre-
servation of the public peace as by the said Act is directed;
but such warrant, if applied for and issued after the emer-
gency has arisen, cannot in many cases be obtained in time
to meet such emergence-, and it is therefore expedient to give
further facilities in that behalf; be it enacted, that it shall
be lawful for one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of
State, or, in Ireland, for the Lord-Lieutenant or other Chief
Governor of Ireland, and, in her Majesty's colonies and pos-
sessions beyond the seas, for the Governor or other person
administering the government of such colony or possession,
to issue his warrant to the lord-lieutenant of any county,
or the mayor or other chief magiitrate of any town or dis-
trict wherein such pensioners and persons having claims to
prospective or deferred pensions are enrolled, authorising him,
in case of emergency or anticipated emergency, whereby
the public peace may be endangered, or on the re-
quisition of any officer commanding her Majesty's
forces within such town or district, to call out
the whole or such part of the persons so enrolled as he may
consider necessary for any term not exceeding twelve d svgs
during which time they shall be liable to the provisions of the
Mutiny Act and Articles of War in the same manner in all
respects as is providei in the last-epentiened Act ; but
no such enrolled person who shall be called out only
by the authority of any such lord-lieutenant of a
county, mayor or magistrate, for the preservation of the
public peace, shall be employed on such duty ter
more than twelve days, unless by a warrant from
one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or in Ire-
land, frotn the Lord-Lieutenant or Chief Governor of Ireland,
or in any of her Majesty's colonies and possessions beyond
the seas, front the governor or person administering the
government in case of their being employed in aid of the
civil power, or by warrant of her Majesty in case of their
volunteering to serve in any of her Majesty's forts, towns,
and garrisons, as provided in the said Act.
And be it enacted, that in case of actual or apprehended
invasion, it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by any proclama-
tion, to direct that the said enrolled pensioners, or such of
them as her Majesty shall think fit, may be sent in aid of the
defence of the realm, to any part of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland where their services may be
rt quired ; and during the time for which their services shall
be so required they shall be subject to all the provisions of
any Act then in force for the punishment of mutiny and
desertion, and for the better payment of the army and their
quarters.
And be it enacted, that this Act may be amended or re-
pealed by any Act to be passed in this session of Parliament.

REFERS.
Schedule (A).

(From the f !avow )
During the drama of the Bade of Setlgemoor at the
Adelpht Theatre here. on l'itesday evennig last, an oc-
currence took place which for stirring interest and ro
in ui is stir:, far eunke-i Al sae!: dramatic fictions as
The Wife of Two Husb,nds, e Fatal Marriagt, or
those numerous von i.res ate': mishaps in eiti,nexion
with love, marriage, aiid ttaumiihant virtue, sr
put upon the stage to " fill the pause and give the Jinx)
play." The frets of the cteie, which have 'melt conifer,
nicated to us by an eye• witness, and vain h can be au-
theetiettt, d on the best authorit, , are as follow
on the above evening the business of The play was goitiv
ferward, end while one of the favourite Liar, ssi s of tfte
Ad, Iphi was performing her part —indeed no need tot
hesitate giving the name (Mrs. De Bourgh) as the when
matter is now kept no secret by the parties interested, a
tall handsome man, with a military air, in the pit, was
observed to look very uneasy for a few ininuleti, to
gaze earnestly at the stage as if the lady haden-
gaged his fixed attention, rising several times from
his seat during the time, until he at length appa
rently satisfied himself with his scrutiny—when, to the
astonishment of all around, he exclaimed at the pitch
of a stern military voice, " My wile, by heaven ! my
Eliza !" Not kno ving the cause of this sudden out-
burst, the spectators for a time appeared at a loss
whether to treat the affair in joke or earnest. Seeing,
however, that the gentleman was perfectly sober, and
quite serious in his manner of address, their merri-
ment gave way to wonder and curiosity, which
was in no degree lessened when it was noted
that the fair actress who had been thus pointedly ad-
dressed had swooned, and required to leave the stage.
The play, however, went on, notwithstanding this, but
the occurrence excited the most marked attention. On
hearing of, the matter, Mr. Miller, the manager, at once
proaeaded,p_thip place where the gentleman sat, in
order to ascertain tire` cause' of the unlooked-for inter•
ruption that had been given to the evening's entertain-
ment, and inquired his: meaning for the expres-
sion he had made use of. " I tell yon," said
the gentleman, " that lady is my wife, whom
I have not seen these nineteen years. I have
been abroad, and during that time have not heard from
her ; I thought her dead ; and can you wonder I was
astonished ? But," said the stranger, " who are you
'hat inquires ?" Mr. Miller replit d that ho was
lessee of the threatre that he had a I-, speet for
this lady, whit h':d now been in his corps dramutique
or thri e years, during which her repu•ed
Mr. De Bourgh, had died, and tis re an in-
terest in the reputation of this laiiy, as well as for t:A,
good name of all the members of the company. he hoped
the gentleman would net wantonly make a statenat.nt, to in-
jure her character. " Married," exclaimed the stranger,

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The annual general
meeting and twenty-fifth election of this society, for the re-
lief of aged and infirm printers and their widows, was held
yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ;
Richard Taylor, Esq., F.R.S., treasurer, in the chair. Mr.
J. S. Hodson, the secretary, read the report, which con
gratulated the subscribers on the satisfactory state of the
society, although at the present time fifty persons e-
ceiving the benefits of their bounty. One great of
annual benefit to their funds—the anniversar
which was presided over by Lord Dudley Coutts ' • •"' had
been very productive, the sum of 2801. having been received
on that occasion. Other auxiliary aids in the course of the
year were alluded to, viz., the day Pik at Trauxhall-iiidena, -- -
and an entertainment at Bromley, in Kent, the former
yielding a profit of 13/., and the latter of upwards of 504
The committee further reported that a legacy of 1001. had
been bequeathed by the late J. Harris, Esq., bookseller, of
St. Paul's Church-yard. The balance-sheet set forth the
annual and life subscriptions at 590/. 18s. 105.; interest on
stock, 1624 18s Bd. ; with the other sources of revenue,

to another. My Eliza married ! But I must see her
immediately, she is still my wi!e." Mr. Mill,r asked
the name of the gentleman, who sai "My name is
Lewis, Lieutenant Lewis, sir. I've come direct from
Liverpool, after having been on foreign service with
my boy, her boy, sir. He is twenty-two years of
age, and six feet two inches high. You shall see him,
sir." Si.mewhat doubtful and Set surprised at this
recital, Mr. Miller inquired the maid. n tame of vie

verified by the actress, who had by tWs time recovered.
from her faint. Ana for the sequel. The rrties had
a meeting, and such a meeting! our fair readers may firm
some idea. After loving embrace, and hurried explana-
tions, during which the lieutenant seemed to have lived
over again his first three )l ars of marriage, the followit.g
statement was elucidated, which was highly satistac•
tory to Mr. Miller and the other parties who had
fortune to be present at the scene :—They had
married when
,young in England—he, at the time, a
private soldier, she a rising member of a theatrical
company in the town of . The lruit o' their
union was a fine boy. The regiment was orders d
&brow:, and in vain the young soldier al pli, d to have
along with him his loving wise. The stipulated number
of women to go with the regiment had been made tip,
and, as a- fa vou r, their child, then three years of age,
was permitted to accompany his father. They parted,
and during the lapse of nineteen years had not seen
or heard of each other. The one believing the
other dead; need we wonder at the remarkable
nature of their first encounter ? He had risen in
the army by steadiness and good conduct to the rank of
a lieutenant, and consoled by the company of his boy,
had not married. She, about eight years after the de-
parture of the vessel with the regiment, had been posi-
tively
informed that her husband had been killed in
battle, and she was married again. The second husband
died about eighteen months ago; and thus ends our
strange eventful story. But no, we are in error, the tale
is not yet told. On Wednesday morning last, acentu-
panied by a respectable body of friends, the happy pair,
both being of the Catholic persuasion, appeared before
the Rev. Mr. Gordon, who, after hearing the particulars,
again formally reunited two whom fortune and the
chances of war had put asunder.

WATER CRESSES.—On Sunday morning, six large
bags, similar to what hops are put in, were filled with this
wholesome plant, and were lying at Winchester station
ready to be sent to London, the weight of each about 1121b5.,
or I cwt. They had been gathered in the neighbourhood of
Alresford, seven miles from Winchester, by the poor, for a
greengrocer living at that place, who has engaged to send all
iie can procure to London two or three times each week, or
of c. cr can get them. It is stated they are extensively
use.l, b as spinach.
.'„cciDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—
the gods train, which leaves London at nine
k, w; s Saturday night thrown off the rails in the
Fiiic:,ley cutting, between the Woking and Farnborough
station, in consequence of the coupling chain having broken.
Fortunately the speed was slow at the time, and no personal
injury was sustained by the engineer or stoker, but the en-
gine and tender were thrown across the rails and the traffic
on the line was delayed, as the passengers and luggage had
to be removed tom one train to another until the rails were
cleated. which was effected by eleven o'clock on Sunday
morning.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—An accident of a serious and
alarming character occurred in Newcastle on Saturday last,
which had nearly proved fatal to two young ladies, one of
them a daughter of Mr. George Bulman, and the other a
daughter of Mrs. Arundale, both of Leazes-terrace. In the
middle of the day, as a cask of black lead was in process of
being lowered by a crane from th second floor of the ware-
house of Mr. Spencer, chemist, Low Friar-street, it by some
means Flipped from the slings, and tell to the ground just
as the young ladies were passing. They were both knocked,
down by the cask, and seriously hurt, particularly Miss Bul-
man, who had a leg broken, a compound fracture, besides re-
ceiving a severe blow on the head. They are both, however,
in a fair way of recovery.—Newcastle Journal.
CAPTURE OF A ROBBER.—At Dover, on Sunday
morning, at about five o'clock, a special train arrived at
Dover with a gentleman and one of the City police, in search
of a man, who, it was stated, bad robbed a merchant at Ham-
burgh of more than 4,0001. After ineffectually searching on
board the packets, then about to start for the Continent,
they proceeded to Hollyer's London Hotel, where they dis-
covered the fugitive quietly enjoying his breakfast. He
arrived at the London Hotel by the mail train, intending to
embark for the Continent, but was compelled to retrace his
steps with his captors.—Dover Telegraph.
METROPOLITAN RAILWAY TERMINI. Yesterday
the materials of upwards of twenty houses, on the west side
of Westminster-bridge-road, near the old Marsh-gate, were
sold by Mr. Chadwick, of St. Martin's-lane, for the extension
of the South-Western Railway to the proposed new terminus
ia the York-road, Lambeth, midway between Ifungerford
and Waterloo-bridges. The terminus of the South-Eastern
and Brighton Coast Railway, at London. bridge, is under-
going extensive enlargements; the ground on the north side,
extending from Dean-street to Bermondsey-street, a distance
of four hundred yards, is already cleared, and the erections
commenced that, when complete, will cover half a mile in
length. The extension of the Eastern Counties to their pro-
posed central terminus at Guildford-street, Brunswick-square,
including the Middlesex House of Correction, is rapidly pro-
gressing, and has already reached Islington.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Last night Mr. W. Payne,
City Coroner, held an inquest at the Old Swan Tavern,
London-bridge, on view of the body of Andrew Reckhouse,
aged forty-seven, the confidential clerk of Messrs Nicholls
and Bennett, the proprietors of the Old Shades, who de-
stroyed himself. under the following circumstances ;—Mr.
Thomas Nicholls, of the firm of Nicholls and Bennett, and
other witnesses, stated that the deceased had been for many
years confidential clerk in the above establishment. He had
attended to business during Saturday, but complained of
being unwell, Mr. Croft, surgeon. ot Lawrence Pountney-lane,
saw him about nine o'clock in the evening, and sent him some
medicine. Calling about twelve o'clock on Sunday to pay
him another visit, his bed-room door was found locked in
the inside, and which it was necessary to have forced, when
he was discovered partly dressed, lying on his face with his
right arm under his chest. On being turned round, a large
deep wound was observed in his throat, which extended from
ear to ear, having divided all the muscles, &c., between the
larynx and the tongue. The bed was saturated with blood,
a large quatai. y having flowed on to the floor. By his side,
near, his right hand, lay the razor with which the wound
had 'been inflicted. He had for some years been subject to
occasional fits of dessondencv, complaining of severe pains
in his head, and he also suffered from indigestion. This
state ot things had been parly produced by grief for the loss
of his brother, who died suddenly about five years since, and
also from the loss of several hundreds of pounds, which he
had benevolently lent to several friends. After a long in-
quiry the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."
FIRE IN ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK.—Yesterday
afternoon, between one and two o'clock, the ship China, Cap-
tain D. Ferguson, lying in St. Katherine's Dock, was disco-
vered to be on fire. The vessel, which was a Madras trader,
was lying alongside of the C warehouses, and for some time
considerable alarm prevailed lest the flames should extend
to the surrounding property. The alarm having been given,
in the space of a few minutes a number of the dock cOm-
patly'Li servants boarded the vessel, when they found the
cook. house in flames, and part ot the deck burning furiously.
A general turn out of the London Brigade engines took place,
but by the time they reached the scene the dock company's
men had succeeded in getting the fire extinguished. The
vessel was insured. It appears that the outbreak was occa-
sioned by some plumbers having left their fire unprotected,
whilst they went to dinner.
THE WISDOM OF OUR ANCESTORS.—In respect to
Eton, I would mention that the college is provided with
sewers, constructed at the time of the foundations being
formed; anc the person who laid them out, 400 years
_tip,
provided reservoirs and sluices for the purposes of flushing
them with water; and those sewers have been kept freeoin
deposit by periodical flushing ever since.—Mr. Roe's Evidence
before the Health of Towns Gbmmission.
Tun Cucxoo.—On Monday morning the voice of
the cuckoo was repeatedly heard in the plantation at Mark-
eaton, near I !erby.—Derby Reporter.
GREAT MATCH AT DRAUGHTS.—The long-talked
of match at draughts between Mr. Anderson, of Carluke, and
Mr. Wylie (known as " the herd laddie"), began on Monday
week in Mr. Greenlaw's Tavern, Register-street. The stakes,
we believe, are 1004 a side; the match being decided by the
_
first won nine games. After eight days' play the result
stands thus :—Anderson, 7 games; Wylie, 3; drawn, 10.
Great interest is excited in the issue, from the circumstances
of the players being considered the most eminent in the king-
dom. At the end of last (Friday) night's play, the games
stood thus :—Anderson, 8;
Wylie, 4 ; drawn, 16. Twentyeight games have thus been played, occupying 13 days...-
Edinburgh Paper of Saturday.
ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR THE OVERLAND MAIL.--
A report is now current on the Continent that it is the in-
tention of the King of Sardinia to construct a railroad from
Genoa to Chambery, with a tunnel under Mount Cenis, eight
mites long. Should this railroad be constructed, Genoa will
become a t;winidable rival to Marseilles, and the route by
Genoa will, in that case, probably be_ found preferable either
'to that by Marseilles or by Trieste for the conveyance of the
overland mail.—Liverpool
LEICESTER TRADE.--WOOl3 are firm at former
prices, but yarns are dull of sale. Worsted goods are flat.
In cotton goods a moderate business was doing, but not a
brisk one. This has been a dull week in the warehouses, and,
on the whole, there is but little improvement in the demand
from last week, save in receipt of a few American orders for
the fall.—Leicester Mercury.
" HEAR THE enuacn."—lt is reported that the
Rev. Hugh Delacy, of Rillinagb, county Cavan, a most esti-
mable and respectable priest, had been addressing his congre-
nation on the present dreadful visitation, and used some
tropes and figures about the " people slaying and eating all
bgore them." Be that as it may; or whether Dolan and his
son understood him literally, on Wednesday week they broke
into their priest's cowbouse, out of which they took a fine
ecpringer, to calve sth April, worth 101., and killed in his own
field, l'eM)ing the calf, entrails, and hide, and taking the flesh.
The Dolans were committed to Cavan gaol, by the Earl of
Enniskillen, whom it was difficult to persuade that they bad
so outraged the priest's premises and property.—Fermanagh

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The water has been run out of
the dock in which the Sphynx lies, and, in addition to the
damages we reported yesterday, we find she has sustained
considerable injury by the roAts, against which she had been
rubbing for nearly seven weeks past. The gripe and keel are
almost wholly rubbed away, and the keel bolts either bent or
started up. The copper is also rubbed off from the flat of the
bottom out to the bilge, and the planking of the bottom to the
same extent more or less itijured, particularly so on the star-
board side, where it is almost rubbed through Had the
vessel remained until another spring-tide, the bottom plank-
ing would hive been rubbed quite through on the starboard
bilge, and the saving of the vessel in consequence would
have been scarcely practicable; the wisdom in persevering.
as the Admiralty have done, is, therefore, most manifest. She
will be at once temporarily refitted, and sent round to Wool-
wich for thoorugh repair.
The Echo steam-tug returned from the scene of the wreck
this afternoon with the Sphynx's anchors, one of her masts,
and a considerable portion of gear which had been left be-
hind She was immediately afterwards dispatched to Spit-
head,. without discharging her cargo, to tow in the Portland,
50, ender jury-masts, in charge of Commander Schomberg,
of the Queen, which arrived this morning from Devonport
to load with provisions for Ireland. Considerable alacrity
has been shown in fitting this frigate for the relief service,

DEATH OF A VICE-ADMIRAL.
Vice-Admiral of the White, Nicholas Tomlinson, died
of
t
his residence, Middleton House, Sussex,an officer as ever in the 83d year
his age. The deceased was as gallant
wore the British uniform, and had seen as much hard perso •
nal service as any one, although he had neither stars nor
garters, grand crosses nor medals. He entered the service
plain Nicholas Tomlinson, was midshipman of the Charon,
and scaled the walls at the siege of St. -Fernando de Omoa in
1779, and was subsequently at the capture of the French 64-
gun ship, Comte de Artois. In the expedition to Virginia
he commanded a gun-boat, and the Charon being burnt by
red-hot shot at the defence of York Town, in 1781, he com-
manded an advanced battery on shore. He was made a
Lieutenant in March, 1782, and was senior of the Bristol,
and was severely injured in attempting to rescue the crew of
the Athol, Indiaman, blown up In Madras roads in that year,
and was first Lieutenant of the Bristol also in the following
year in Hughes's fifth action with the Suffrein. He after-
wards commanded the bri Pelter, and with the most con-
summate daring cut out a French armed lugger on the coast
of France, lying within pistol-shot of a battery and troops.
and in 1795 engaged a convoy at the mouth of the
Creche, and assisted at the destruction of a French
corvette and cutter in the Morbiban. He was promoted to
the rank of commander on the 30th of November, 1795, not
having been merely a few months a lieutenant, as the more
fortunate and highly decorated flag-officers on the list, but
after many years hard and meritorious service, and in the
rank of commander, in which he remained nearly six years,
did something to merit his promotion; for, as cotnmander of
the Suffisante, he captured the French national 12-gun brig
Revanche, and two privateers, in 1796. In 1801 he served
as a volunteer in Lord Nelson's fleet at Copenbageo,anrl was
promoted in September of that year. He commanded
fire-ships at Walcheren ; but it pears be bad not served
his full time as a captain, for hews one of the dotted flag-
officers, and was only in the receipt of half-pay as a rear-
admiral. It is intereting to compare the career_o_fcethAedgmail:
lent deceased with that of another flagofficer. NI
ral Tomlinson was a lieutenant eighteen months
.before Sir
Edward Codrington entered the service, and six months
before the former by his hard fighting had obtained one step
Sir Edward was a post captain. They both served under
Nelson, and both bad commands at Walcheren; but the one
dies plain Vice-Admiral Nicholas Ternhnson, and the othe
B ~
is Admiral of the Red Sir Edward Codrington, G.C. r
G:C.M.G., &c., loaded with honours, prize-money, office, and
pension.
By the death of Vice-Admiral Tomlinson, Rear-Admiral
Samuel Butcher becomes Vice-Admiral of the Blue, and
Robert Jackson, Esq., becomes the seniorhe Rear-Abedmiral.
t num r pre-
The number of flag-officers is now
scribed by the Admiralty. The next death of a flag-officer
will promote Captain Prescott to the rank of Rear-Admiral.
Lieutenant George Raymond (1815) has been appointed
an additional Lieutenant of the Ocean, to command the
Dover steam-packet, on the Dover station. This officer has
seen a variety of bard servi;;_
_but i notwithstanding, a
Lieutenant still. He was MO
ahtsipamta_il of
uthe EandagaLre,nagniedbidn,
cutting out the Danish gun-boats
was slightly wounded ; he . was also inNtYhr Trrgemendous at the
destruction of a French frigate and corvette, off Barileur, in
1812, and was supernumerary mate of the Shannon when
she captured the Chesapeake, and holds from the immortal
Broke an autograph certificate of his gallant bearing in this,
the finest frigate action on record. He was subsequently Of
the Belle Pottle, in the operations in the Gironde in 1814,
and also of the Royal Oait, and commanded a gun-boat at
the capture of the flotilla on Lac Borgia, and in all the
operations on the coast of America. -He was hard in
1813, for his services, bat did not obtain his -earned
promotion until 1815.

The opinion of practical men, whose attention has
been directed to the foreign trade of the country, seems to
be that the exchanges will not go materially, if at all, worse
than at present. It is, they observe, true that prices are on
the advance in the corn market, and that so far as the con-
sumption of foreign products by the consumers of this king-
dom is concerned, the rise must act prejudicially to our
monetary system. But the prevailing impression is, as they
contend, that our stock of grain, of native growth, is mucs
larger than had been supposed, and, assuming this to be the
fact, the shipments making to France, to which may be
ascribed much of the advance in the quotations noticed,
must be decidedly beneficial to the exchanges, inasmuch as
they tend to redress the balance of trade without the inter-
vention of the precious metals The remittances of gold to
the United States need not, they say, create apprehension.
The quantity thus far shipped will have increased the de-
mand, on the part of the Americans, for luxuries. Tea,
sugar, and other commodities will have been purchased. to an
unusual extent, the effect of which must be that of creating
a necessity for the transmission of bills to a large amount to
England in anticipation of drafts made on American account
from China and other points._ We have more than once ad-

ADMIRALTY DROITS.—One of the vessels of Mr
Thomas Barker, of South Shields, was lately in the harbour
of Holyhead, and was taken possession of as a droit of the
Admiralty, on the ground that the captain and mate having
been committed to prison on a charge of assault, the vessel
(although the master had committed it to the charge of a
third party) became a droit of the Admiralty. The owner's
agent remonstrated in vain, and could only get his property
out of the custody of the representative of the crown on
payment of the sum of fifty shillings I Mr. Barker very
properly determined to put a stop to such practices, and
instructed his attorney to bring an action against the re-
ceiver for the recovery of the money illegally retained, and
for damage by the trespass. The action was brought ac-
cordingly, and has been withdrawn, on payment of the sum
of ten pounds in discharge of damage and costs, and on re-
ceipt of the following letter of apology, dated " Holyhead,
March 2, 1847 :—Sir—l am sorry that my misconstruction
of 9 and 10 Victoria should have caused a difference be-
tween me and a gentleman whom I have not the honour of
knowing, and whose property I considered I was protecting
under most peculiar circumstances.-1 am, sir, your most
obedient servant, J. G. Jon siuxr.—Thomas Barker, Esq.,
North Shields." The shipowners of the kingdom ought to
feel much indehted to Mr. Barker for his spited conduct in
this matter.— Gateshead Observer.
