THE NAVY.
THE CAPTAINS' GOOD•SERVICE PENSION.
It has now been officially announced, that the va-
cant captains' good-service pension has been bestowed
upon •Commodore Sir Thomas llerbert, K.C.8., now
returning home from the command-in•chief of the
south-east coast of America station. Sir Thomas is
one of the few eligible officers who has seen any ser-
vice as a " captain." lle has served 22 years afloat
since he first entered the navy, and his claims for the
distinction conferred upon him will be seen in the
following extract from " O'Byrne's Naval Bic.-
_

Mr. Pownall, the chairman of the bench, presided,
and there was an unusually full attendance of magis-
trates, there being nearly forty present. A great deal
of interest appeared to be excited in consequence of
there being no le s than 87 applications for new
liccnsf s, and the court was crowded with persons
connected with the theatres and other places of public
entertainment.

There were only two refusals to renew licenses—
the Albion HAD, Webb's-lane, and the Grapes Tavern,
Old Compton-street, Soho, in consequence of infor-
malities in serving the necessary notices. In the latter

case the question—was whether- a notice served upon
the overseers was sufficient, the Act stating that the

« This officer entered the navy July 23d, 1803, as
first-elass volunteer, on board the Excellent, 74, Cap-
tain Frank Sotheron, and, on proceeding to the Medi-
terranean, was there invested with the rating of midship-
man, January Ist, 1804. After assisting at the defence
of Gaeta and the capture of Capri, he removed to the
Blonde, 38, Captain Volant Vashon Ballard, whom he
accompanied to the West Indies, on which station we
find him witnessing the reduction, in December, 1807,
of the Danish West India Islands, and contributing to
the capture of fire privateers, carrying in the whole 58
guns and 515 men. On August 1, 1809, as a reward for
the conduct he had in particular exhibited as prize.
master of L'Alert, of 20 guns and 149 men, Mr. Her-
bert, on the recommendation of his captain, was nomi
nated by Sir Alexander Cochrane to a lieutenancy it,
his flag-ship, the Neptune, 98. Being officially pro-
moted on the 10th of the following October, he was next,
between March, 1810, and June, 1814, employed as a
lieutenant in the Pompie, 74, Captain J. Athol Wood,
on the West India, home, and Mediterranean stations.
He then became first of the Euryalus, 36, Captain Chas.
Napier, in which frigate he served until the close of the
American war, and obtained the official mention of Sir
James Alexander Gordon, for the ability and the
conspicuous Exertions he displayed throughout the opera-
tions on the river Potomac, including the capture of Fort
Washington, and of the city of Alexandria. On Oct.
19th, 1814, Mr. Herbert, who by that period had beet,
upwards of twenty times engaged with the enemy, in
cutting out affairs, and otherwise, and had been
thrice wounded, was advanced to the rank of com-
mander. He did not, however, take up his commie-
sion until February, 1815 ; from which period he
appears to have remained on half pay until Sept. 6
1821. He then obtained an appointment to the Icarus,
10, fitting for the Jamaica station ; where he removed,
May 6, 1822, to the Carnation, 18, and was posted.
25th November following, to a death vacancy in the
Tamar, 26 ; continuing to serve in the latter ves-
sel until pad off in August, 1823. Captain Herbert
succeeded, during that period, in destroying three
piratical vessels on the coasts of Cuba and Yu-
catan. On the 10th of November,lB37, not having beer,
afloat for a period of 15 years, he was next appointed
to the Calliope, 26, and ordered to the Brazils. Until
the arrival there from the Pacific of Commodore
Thomas Ball Sulivan, Captain Herbert, we find, con-
ducted in person the duties of senior officer. He wa,
subsequently directed to assume the command of the
naval force in the Rio de la. Plata, for the
protection of the British interests at Buenos
Ayres and Monte Video, during the blockade
of the former place by a French squadron ; ane
while in discharge of the duties which were then
imposed upon him, he had the satisfaction of beine
twice officially assured of the entire approbation 01
the Admiralty at his proceeding?. In January, 1840
Captain Herbert went round Cape Horn, and joiner
Rear-Admiral Charles Bayne Hodgson Ross at Valpa-
raiso, whence, in the ensuing June, he sailed for China
via St. Bernardin's Passage, encountering, en route
while among the Philippine Wands, a typhoon, which
the Calliope was only enabled to survive through the
extreme exertions of her officers and crew. Ar-
riving in the Canton River on October 10, Captair,
Herbert immediately assumed, and, until the advEn
of Rear-Admiral Honourable George Eliot on Nuv. 20.
retained the command of the blockading force. Th.
important nature of his services, as one of the chie,
actors in the scenes of hostility that followed, demand!
our particular attention:-On Jan. 7, 1841, having beer
placed by the rear admiral in charge of the advanete
squadron off the Ricca Tigris, he conducted the attaek
made on the enemy's forts at Chuenpee, where were
annihilated eleven powerful junks, the flower of the
Chinese -navy ; and on February 23, being at the
time on board the Nemesis, he effected the destructioa
of a 20-gun battery, at the back of the island 0.
Anunghoy. Three days after the latter event we
find him in the Calliope, heading the operations against
the celebrated Bogue Forts, and on the 27th (with the
Calliope, Herald, 26; Alligator, 26; Modesto, 18; Sul
phur, 8; and Nemesis and Madagascar steamers under
his orders), attacking the enemy's camp, fort, and ehir
Cambridge, bearing the Chinese Admiral's fl eg at their
position below Whampoa Reach, where 98 guns were,
on the whole, destroyed. After capturing, on Marcl,
13, the last fort protective of the approaches to Canton.
Captain Herbert's squadron advanced towards the
city, and on the 18;h attacked all the batteries ano
flotilla in its immediate vicinity, the former of which, it,
the course of two hours and a half, were in succession
destroyed, and the latter either burnt or dispersed; then
enabling the British to plant the union-jack on the walls
of the factory, and placing totally in their power th.
huge capital of Quang-tong. On the renewal, in the
following May, of the hostilities against Canton.
the Chinese, on the night of the 21st of that month,
made a vigorous attack with fire-rafts and
armed boats, and from several masked am:
newiy-raised batteries, on the British shipping there
located, and still commanded by Captain Herbert.
They were, however, totally defeated, and on the
next day their batteries were dismantled and theh
floating armament ruined. On the 26th the water
defenees between the factories and Howqua's Fort,
mounting 64 guns, were levelled, and forcible posses
sion taken of their naval arsenal and war-junks. It,
the month of June Captain Herbert, who, until then.
had directed, as we have stated, the movements of the
advanced squadron on the Canton river, succeeded, owing
to the death of Sir Humphrey Fleming Senhouse, to the
command of the whole force employed on that stream.
On the arrival, a few weeks afterwards, of Rear-Admira;
Sir William Parker, as commander-in-chief, lie was re-
moved to the Blenheim, 72, in which ship, in the course
of the following August and October, he assisted Kith
great distinction at the capture of Amoy, the retaking;
of Chusan, and the reduction of Chinghae. On the latter
occasion, after the necessary breachings had been ac
complished, he landed in command of the light column of
attack, consisting of a body of upwards of 700 seamen,
marines, and troops, and stormed and carried the
citadel, situated on the left bank of the Tinghae river;
while the General Sir Hugh Gough, with the lane
forces, made himself equally master of the extensive
and formidable works on the right bank. Captain Her
bert, who was next present at the surrender of Ningpo,
and subsequently accompanied several reconnoitering
parties up the Tinghae, returned to Hong-Kong
from off Ningpo and Cullman in February,
1842, and resumed command of the squadron in the
Canton river. In the month of' July he left Hong.
Kong in a steamer for the Yang-tse-Kiang, for the
purpose of visiting Nanking, where ho remained until
her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, in October, took leave
of the Imperial Commissioner. Sir Thomas Herbert,
whose brilliancy of service had been rewarded, Oct.
14, 1841, with the dignity of a K.C.8., returned to
England by the Cape of Good Hope-thus accom-
pliehing a circumnavigation of the globe -and paid
the Blenheim off in March, 1843. Since Jan. 11, 1847,
he has been employed on the south-east coast
of America, with a broad pendant, in the Raleigh, 50.
Sir Thomas Herbert was born in February, 1793, is son
of the late Richard T. Herbert, Esq., of Cahernan,
County Kerry, where the Herbert family has been seated
since the reign of Charles 11, Among the early ances-
tors of Sir Thomas we discover the name of Sir Richard
Herbert, of Coldbrook, who, with his brother William,
Earl of Pembroke, was beheaded at Banbury, the day
after the battle of Danes Moor,' July 26, 1469."

P

no'ice must be served upon the churchwardens and

overseers.:
The CHAIRMAN decided against the applicant.
In one case the applicant did not appear.
The renewals having been completed,
Mr. Wilks rose and observed, that before the bench
enUred upon the consideration of the applications for
new licenses, he thought it an imperative duty on
his part to make a few remarks on the great public
and important duty that would devolve upon the
bench generally in dealing with the extraordinary
number of applications before the Court for licenses
to establishments for public music and dancing. The
Act of Parliament under which they were that day
acting was passed in the year 1752, and from that
time to the present the total number of licenses
granted under its provisions in the whole county of
.Middlesex was sixty-one, yet on this occasion there
were no less than the astounding number of eighty-
seven new applications before them. Ile would read
to the bench the preamble of the Act of Parliament

he had cited, and the bench would then see, in its
ulle3t character, the importance of the task they were
'about to perform, and the objects which the Legis-
lature had in view in passing that-statute. It recited
that " whereas there were at that time, in the me-
tropolis and the surrounding districts, hous2s of
resort, where entertainments were carried on, and
where facilities were afforded for indulgence in de-
bauchery and unlawful pleasures to the great detri-
nt'nt of the public interest, by reason of the induce-
nent they afforded for the commission of theft and

robberies, for young men to waste their substance in

seeking the riotous pastimes there carried on, and
.ndulging in pernicious gratifications, and for ap-
drentices and servants to commit thefts and to rob
their masters, to procure the means of access to the
-evels their to be found, and by reason of the vitiated
tastes and immoral habits inculcated in society by
their existence, it was necessary that some means
.hould be taken to suppress them, and therefore it
was enacted that all such places kept open after the
,assing of that Act (unless licensed by this court to
to so) should be liable to heavy pains and penalties."
That was the state of society in 1752, and he was
sorry to say that the evils described in that preamble
vere even more predominant now than they were
then. Let the Court grant these applications, and
}ublicans would be rushing to the court in thousands,
lsking for their houses to be converted into dancing
aloons. Where was the evil to stop ? At what
)oint was its progress to be arrested ? Look at

. „
-he :state of our prisons ' • see the immense amount
f juvenile and youthful depravity and crime there
developed ; look at the overcrowded state of
,mr lunatic asylums—so overcrowded was that
or this county, that at greet expense they
lad been compelled to provide an additional one-
-aid then ask the question—what did this indicate ?
:,'oul.l the efforts of the Legislature to repress the
;rowth of juvenile crime be attended with success if
he number of these places was to be augmented ? lle
rusted that More granting any single one of these
ipplications the magistrates would hesitate and pause,
-Or every one who wished to see the enormous amount
,f juvenile depravity that now existed lessened must
eel the deepest regret to see the prayer of any one of
hese 87 petitions for music and dancing licences
omplied with. Let the Court grant a license to
uly one of these houses in respect of which applica-
•ion was now made, and the holder of it would go
oto the market and sell his house for from one to two
housand pounds more than he would obtain had he
io such license. lie wculd beseech the Court not to
)c led away by the number of names attached to the
Jetitions. A.publican had t:n immense personal in-
crest in obtaining a license, and would not, there-
Ore, hesitate to make a few sacrifices of more kinds
han one to obtain the signatures of his neighbours.
the course the Middlesex bench would take would be
4n example followed by other counties, and he trusted
that that example would be one the ultimate results of
which would be an improved moral and spiritual ton-
lition of the people.
Mr. Freshfield made a few observations, and con-
,2urred 'generally with what had fallen from his
tlonourable friend.
LAURENT'S CASINO, LOWTTIER-ARCADE.

Mr. Maude, the deputy-clerk of the peace, read a
petition from James Ellis, the holder of the license
or Cremorne-gardens, praying for a license for music
tnd dancing for certain premises known as Laurent's
Casino, Lowther Arcade. The ptition was supported
by 1,100 signatures. A counter petition from the
vicar, curates, churchwardens, and overseers of St.
Martin's-in-the-Fields was read. They opposed the
ipplication on the ground that the Casino was a resort
for men of bad character and women of the town, and
by its allurements the seduction of young women
had been carried on to a very great extent. Mr.
Benjamin Webster, lessee of the Haymarket and
Adelphi Theatres, presented a petition against the
;ranting of the license, as did Mr. Charles Mathews,
if the Lyceum. Mr. Webster stated that he paid
nearly 6,0001. a-year rent besides taxes, and Mr.
Mat'newa stated that he paid nearly 3,000/. a-year
cent, in addition to other charges.
Mr. Sergeant 'Wilkins and Mr. Ballantine ap
peared for Mr. Ellis , Mr. Bodkin for the parish and
for Mr. Mathews; Mr. Clarkson supparted Mr.
Webster's petition.
In addressing the Court in support of the applica-
don, Mr. Sergeant WILKINS observed, that every
Gerson in court who had heard and listened to what
had fallen from one of the worshipful magistrates on
the bench would be aware that the task of advocating
,he claims of Mr. Ellis to the license he asked for was
undertaken by him under very great disadvantages ;
hut though the honourable magistrate had distinctly
stated that those observations were intended for the
bench alone, he (Mr. Sergeant 'Wilkins), as a member
)f the bar, anti one who knew something of the pro-
ceedings of courts of justice, must say, and his
Learned Friends around him concurred with him, that
for a gentleman who was to sit in the capacity of judge
in matters seriously affecting the interests of others,
starting up from his seat as the advocate of a principle
—prejudging cases before he heard them—calling in
'he questions of religion and morality to bear against
.vhat was not yet investigated—making an appeal to
the conscience of his brother magistrates
o take a particular course—was something
new, extremely out of place, a most extra-
ordinary proceeding, and one, he trusted, unpre-
cedented and without parallel.—(Applause, which was
speedily repressed) They had been told that this
Act of Parliament had been passed in 1752 ; that all
the crime, depravity, and even insanity in the country
teas attributable to the sixty-one music and dancing
licenses granted by that Court. Why, the Worship •
ful Magistrate himself had stated, in connexion with
the treatment of lunatics, that the introduction of
music and dancing amongst them was one of the most
active agents in restoring them to calmness and
reason. The Learned Sergeant proceeded to denounce
the statements of Mr. Wilk;, and contended that it
was hypocrisy, intolerance, and the withholding of
proper recreation from the people that produced
demoralization and depravity, for the people would
have amusement—they would have recreation ; and
if they could not have it legitimately, they would
have it illegitimately. It was objected by some of the
petitioners, that the granting of this license would be
attended with immoral consequences—that this
Casino had been the resort of abandoned women, but
such objections came with very little effect from
Mr. Webster and Mr. Mathews, as some of
the pieces exhibited at their respective theatres,
and the characters of some of the persons who as-
sembled there would testify. The Learned Sergeant,
at the conclusion of his speech, strenuously urged that
it was the duty of the magistrates to give the people
the means of innocent amusement ; and what could Ise
more so than music and dancing ?
Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the court, contending
that the public did not require any additional places
of amusement. He complained that Mr. Ellis, being
the holder of the license for Cremorne:gardens, came
before the court with an ill grace to ask for another
one.
Mr. Bonnier, with whom was Mr. Huddlestone,
then addressed the bench at sonic length, in support
of the. petitions of the vicar and churchwardens, and
that of Mr. Charles Mathews.
The CHAIRMAN then put the question, and only
two votes were given in favour of the license. Con
s(quently it was refused.
The COUnT refused every other license the appli-
cations for which were discussed; and then aljourned,
a number of cases standing over.

TUE HYBRID MAIZE IN THE le maize
introduced into this country from the P3renees, and
sown as an experiment in St. James's-park by Mr. Keene,
was harvested on Wednesday. It has fully succe2dEd.
The grain is perfectly formed, full, and ripe; the cobbs, we
can fairly say, having seen specimens of both, are much
finer than those grown on the continent, a result peculialy
gratifying, in a public point of view of the very highest
importance, because it sets at rest the doubts which, in
the first instance, were entertained in some quarters,
that the soil and climate of this country were not capa-
ble of the product. The particular situation was in no
way especially favourable to the growth; on the con-
trary, almost, as it were, in the heart of the metropolis,
and immediately surrounded by trees and shrubs,
the ground was not at all enriched by manure at
the time of tilling. The amount of crop appears to
be at the rate of about fifty bushel& per acre, and
in the opinion of several experienced agricul-
turists present at the harvest this quantity is pro-
ducible on the average, from ordinary soil, in
ordinary situations, and with the ordinary quantity and
quality of manure. Some Indian corn and Barbadoes
corn had been sown alongside Mr. Keen 's maize, at
the same time, and under exactly the same circum-
stances and conditions, but neither has ripened, or,
deed, seems likely to come to maturity. They still n
re-
main
standing. The result of this harvest is, in our
opinion, of very general and very great interest, when
it is a matter of fact that the broad from this corn
abroad which forms not merely the chief but almost the
only food of the fine peasantry on either side of the
Pyrenees is producible even in England, at a halfpenny
the pound.
Durcn CATTLE.—The steam ship Lion, arrived
from Harlingen, has brought 1,500 sheep, being, we
believe, one of the largest, if not actually the very
largest importation of live stock on any single occasion,
besides 143 head of homed cattle, 5 calves, 15 pigs,
2,175 casks of butter, and a quantity of cheese and grain.
The ship Attwood, arrived on the same day from Rot-
terdam, brought 116 head oh horned cattle, and 474
sheep, and the ship Magnet, from the same port, 90 head
of horned cattle, and 353 sheep, the whole the produce
of Holland. -
THE LATE MR. GEORGE EDWARD ANSON.—By
the demise of this lamented gentleman, in the prime of
life, the following lucrative appointments become vacant
about the Court :—Keeper of her Majwy privy purso
(salary 2,0001. per annum) ; treasurer of the house-
hold, and secretary to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert ; treasurer and cofferer to his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, and member of the Prince's
Council for the Duchy of Cornwall. Mr. Anson was
private secretary to the late Viscount Melbourne, during
part of the tenure of office as Premier of that noble-
man. He was of a delicate constitution, and some time
since he was attacked by dangerous illness at Osborne,
which caused medical aid to be immediately summoned
from town.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
A fellow, whose name did not transpire, was
placed at the bar, charged with stealing a watch,
ring, and key, the property of Mr. Phillips, court-
keeper of the Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce's Court.
The prosecutor stated that as he was passing
through Lincoln's Inn fields, about half-past twelve
o'clock that morning, the prisoner came up to him
and said, " A fine night, sir ;" to which the witness
answered, " Yes, it is a very fine night indeed."
The prisoner upon this immediately put one hand up
to the witness's chin and pressed his head up, and

with the other hand snatched the witness's watch, ton. Bark—Barbary 8/ to 8/10s; Valonia 14/ to 02; French

about 9/.

Police constable 122 F stated that about half-put
twelve this morning he saw the prisoner running
down the park, and heard the prosecutor calling out
" Stop thief." He followed him and saw him thrust
his hand into a dung heap which was in the park.
Witness apprehended him, and upon searching the
dung heap he found the watch, key, and ring, pro-
duced. On the way to the station-house the prisoner
said, "If you had been five minutes later it would
have been all up with the old gentleman's watch."
The prisoner said he had nothing to state in his
defence, and Mr. Jardine committed him to take his
trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal
Court. _ _ _ _ _ _
