" Given under my hand, on board her Majesty's ship
Conway, at Portsmouth, this 15th day of July, 1847.
" WILLIAM KELLY, Captain."
At the bottom of which, in pencil, was written, appa-
rently very hurriedly—
" I should have been recommended for promotion."
The other certificate was worded in precisely the
same term, only the dates were " from the Ist of July,
1846, to the date hereof, Ist of July, 1847," also signed
by the captain, and at the bottom of which was written,
also in pencil—
" Heart broken and disappointed."
It therefore appeared to the jury that on the ship's
arrival at Spithead the deceased had asked for the last
quoted certificate to memoralise the Admiralty with Ibr
his promotion, as he appears on the Navy List as an
Assistant-Surgeon of 1839; but what appears most in-
comprehensible is the fact, proved by the above certifi-
cates, of the deceased's having been on the books and
done the duty of assistant-surgeon of the Conway from
the Ist of September, 1844, until Thursday last, nearly
three years, without his name appearing in the list of
officers' names appointed to the ship shown in the official
Navy List. igked,LET•h

In the absence of any relativeilk or friends to claim

the Sanction of the coroner, immediately made by Mr.
Forbes, of Portsmouth, undertaker and united service

The Comet steam-vessel, of 23S tons and Who,se
power, commanded by Lieutenant C R. Johnson, which
has been employed in all kinds of service, from a royA
yacht to a meal bArge, has again worn out her boiler::,
and consequently her officers are turned over to another
ship, we believe named the Fire Kiug, at Greenock.
This little Comet was built in 1822, by Mr. Oliver Lang,
and has never had any breaking down in machinery or
jobbery in hull since she was built. We stated a few
weeks since, in commenting upon the paramount supe-
riority of the work and design of this vessel, in cornpari•
son with some (and very many) of the steamers of
modern build in the royal service, that she would wear
well to the last timber, and her engines would wear out
all. We were, it seems, closely correct in that judgment
of the nature of the materials with which the first

steamer that ever carried a pennant was constructed.
We hope the new commissioners about to be appoint d
for executing the office of surveyor of the navy will take
a lesson from the vast amount of instruction she so

palpably offers, and that the navy may have more
Comets, and fewer Jackals, Bloodhounds, and Tridents
in its list for the future.

The Vindictive, 50, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice•
Admiral Sir F. W. Austen, K.C.8., arrived at Halifax
on the 15th ult., from Bermuda.

The Alarm, 26, Captain Loch, was at Halifax on the
24th ult., having arrived from Vera Cruz to recruit the
health of her crew, who were very sickly, and dying fast
by the last advices.

-The Constance, 50, Captain Sir Bald win Walker, was
at Mazatlan on the 30th of April, having relieved the
Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, which is daily expected at
Spithead with a large freight of specie on merchants'
account.

MARYLES ONE VESTRY.

inhabbactoi Cirencester-streer, plying 171. a year rates,
complaining that the street was filled with houses of ill-
fame, and ca ling upon the parish to prosecute and put
down those heities. lie said that his children saw females
in a state of nudity walking in the room opposite his.
and that at night the cries of the drunken, abandoned
W,M0,1 residing in the neighbourhood were torritic. Mr.
Flood, the vestry-clerk, said that the parish ghliaitor
had informed him that :he particuhr house to which the
writer referred was indictable. The vestry directed the
solicitor to proceed against it without delay.
SANATORY CONDITION OF THE IIISTRICT.—Upon the
motion of Mr. G. Daniel, committees were appointed to
the fire districts of the parish to report upon their sana-
tory condition, with the view of submitting to Govern..
mart such facts as would justify her Majesty's Ministers
to empower the local authorities to adopt means to secure
the public health.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—Sir Benjamin Hall,
Bart., M.P., informed the vestry that Parliament would
be dissolved un next Friday or Saturday. The vestry
shortly afterwards adjourned.
