NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiralty have it in
contemplation to erect a barrack at Gosport for this di-
vision of the Royal Marines, their present quarters in
this citadel being too circumscribed for their rapidly in;
creasing numbers, as well as being very old and ill
adapted for the requirements of this important and
highla, serviceable body. If these barracks are erected
at Gosport, Portsmouth will lose at least, it is computed,
25,014/. per annum. Their Lordships are not anxious
to take this great amount of benefit away from the trade
of Portsmouth, and would prefer building the new quer'
ters within the walls of the garrison, but the corporate
authorities, we are informed, are averse to meeting the
Admiralty prop( rly in the matter, their Lordships want'
ing the site of the borough gaol for the marines' neW
quarters, which there is a reluctance to give up, albeit
for a handsome "consideration," although there are
other sites within the walls of the town which would 10
much more suitable for the position of the sessions
house than its present situation. If the corporation dg
not meet the Admiralty in this plotter, the borough Will
assuredly sustain the loss above mentioned, and at the
same time, it is considered, lose the finest opportunity
they ever had of materially improving the most
portant entrance to the garrison from the land side.
The Sidon steam frigate, Captain Henderson,
completed coaling and storing at noon to-day, and wall
then have gone out, but a merchantman having foule
her whilst lying alongside of the jetty, whereby she (the
merchantman) lost her fore yard, delayed her sole°
time. She went out to Spithead at half-past one o'clock,
and excited considerable interest among a large coo'
course of spectators. She lay-to at Spithead to await
the arrival of an express messenger from the Foreign"
office with important dispatches for the British Minister
at Lisbon. The Admiralty have also. sent out dispatches
for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, the Commander'
in-Chief in the Tagus, whose fleet will speedily be reio"
forced with more ships. The Myrtle steam tender, Se.
cond Master-Commanding Balliston, took out the Go-
vernment messenger to Spithead, with the dispachesiz
aad immediately afterwards the Sidon weighed, and le"
for Lisbon.
In reporting the Admiralty's trial of this real men-ef-
war steamer on Saturday, we stated that the davits ap-
plied to her paddlebox boats, and which exhibited such
instantaneous facilities for launching those boats over
the side, were made upon a plan the invention of Mr.
Barr, Inspector of Shipwrights at WOolwich Dockyerd
We are now requested to state that the davits for the
Sidon's boats are the invention of Captain Geo. Smith,'
R.N., the inventor of the paddlebox boats; but who did
not patent or secure the plan, becawe of the expen'e
attending their fitting, which is three times as much se
his present plan of fitting davits, and causes twice the
weight of material to be used. and
The wind having come round to the westvverd9
blowing fresh, Mr. Bellamy was compelled to I:„eturn
from Brook to-day with the Myrtle steamer and Pr?"
lighter, without being enabled to accomplish the Ore
in view of raising the guns, &c., of the Sphynx•
Commander Wm. Ellis, R.N., late Master of the nor,
yacht Victoria and Albert, is appointed Governments
Emigration Agent at Waterford, and left this evening'
for his post. Captain Ellis is an old war officer, age
was promoted to his present rank last year, with many
other of the same class, for his long and faithful eel;
vices, having been actively employed since the yet!,
1800, and since the year 1809 as master. In Allen.,
New Navy List, gaptain Ellis is recorded "as Master 01
the Havock, and frequently employed in her hoatl
against the Danish flotilla in the Cattegat, in 1808; and
of the Castillian at the attack of the French flotilla, 511
capture of the Ville de Lyons praam off Boulogne
1811, and the recapture of the Apelles sloop-of-WO °,
Etaples; also at the capture of a French lugger pri".
teer, of 10 guns and 57 men, off Dieppe.

THE PRIVILEGES OF THE BA
Lord Vivian has published a correspondence betweee
himself and Mr. Justice Coltman, relative to some remark
made by a barrister, Mr. Temple, during a trial on the
North Wales Circuit. It appears that Lord Vivian
prosecuted a servant for embezzlement ; that Sr'
Temple was engaged for the defence, and, in the course
of his address to the jury, cast some imputations upon
the motives of the prosecutor. Lord Vivian applied tin
the advocate for an explanation, which was refuseu,
whereon he wrote to the judge who presided at the trial'
An extract from his letter may be given:—
" For Mr. Temple's opinion of my motives I care
but I do care for the opinion of those amongst whitel
live ; and the ignorant amongst them are likely to be
led astray by such reflections as were cast upon me 1,
Mr. Temple. lam fully aware of the license allowed t",
an advocate in defence of a client ; but I conceive OW
such license (the law affording no redress for calurneil
thus uttered) should be exercised with discretion ell,
with justice. I venture to assert, in the charges brought
against me by Mr. Temple, both have been violated ;
and in this opinion I am supported by Mr. Townsel
the gentleman who conducted the presecution, but w",,
whom I had no previous acquaintance. To you, pay
Lord, then, I appeal to set me right in the opinion °f
the public, as to my motives for prosecuting Hill having
been neither vindictive, outrageous, or wrongful."
Lord Newborougb, the high sheriff, was next appealed
to, and signs the following memorandum, which is PO.
light d with the letters:—
" On application to the judge as to whether he par
A
posed taking notice of the letter Lord Vivian addresse°
to him, he stated That he could not now revert to the
case in Court; that he considered Mr. Temple's language,
to have been impertinent, but hardly worth Lord Vivian '1
notice; and being relevant to the case, ho did not st°P
him at the time, although had Lord Vivian appealed t°
him he should !Ave stated that his conduct had beeitv'el
proper in the prosecution, and that be (the judge) well:—
write to Lord Vivian to that effect.' Lord Vivian, al
reply, expressed his regret that he did not, as presiding
over the Court, think fit at once to vindicate hiB ,cll,l,
meter from false imputations, and from language wn`ca
he stigmatised as impertinent; and that he (I-J°l.l
Vivian) yet more regretted that there was any counse'
on this circuit so devoid of right and gentlemanly feel-
ing as to shun making reparation for the unwarrantable
language he had used."

Progress of the Standard Life Assurance Company during the
year 1846:—
The new Policies issuel from the 15th of November, 1845, to
15th of November. 1846, the Company's business year, amounted to
592. the number of proposals made to the Company during the same
period being, 769.
The amount of New Assurances, covered by the 592 New Policies
Issued during the year, was 368,679/. 7s. MI. (an average of
for each Policy) ; the amount of Assurances applied flit during the
Year being 476,135/. 17s. 9d.
The claims were moderate, both In number and amount, and
considerably less than shown by the mortality tables on which the
Company's calculations are founded. The results in other branches
of the business were favourable.
The business of the Commercial Life Assurance Company of Scot-
land was transferred to the Standard Company during the year
184 e
being 398 Policies, covering about 200,000/. of assurance, and
nag in addition to the new business of the year above reported.
The business of the York and London Assurance Company, which
Ives transferred to the Standard Company in 1844, continued to exhi-
bit satisfactory results in its progressive development.
The revenue of the Company exceeded 120,000/. per annum.
The Standard Life Assurance Company Is so constituted as to afford
the benefits of Life Assurance to all wen may seek its protection in
that form which is best suited to attain their object; while to those
!rho look to the advantage to be derived by way of bonus to their
Folleles from the favourable results of the business, there is every
inducement to connect themselves with the Company.
Bonus additions to Policies have been declared on three occa-
140,11—in 1835, in 1840, and in 1845.
The following are the examples of the additions rnnde :
