THE FRENCH NAVY•

-
As some of the French journals are impugning Mr.
Ward's statement of the naval resources of France, we
think it desirable to place before the public the follow-
ing statement, the accuracy of which may be relied upon.
We shall take another opportunity of recurring to the
subject, and of calling attention to the comparative state
of the arsenals and great naval depots of the two
countries.

.11/rR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52. Fleet-

TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will he found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are 100-e, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, ke has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-

11 LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Blake, King.scliffe, Northampton-
shire :

"Kingscliffe, January 21, 1647.
" Sir,—Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic G
I procared the best advice possible, hut without deriving bzneflt ; and
the doctors recommended me to go to the Stannord Infirmary, where
I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit,
and all hope of relief haft tanished.
" This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me
to try flair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr. Mortlock,
of Stamford, for a box, and by the time I had taken that quantity I
got rid of one crutch. I then sent for another box, wine!' enabled
me to throw away the other, and, thank God, I have never since had
such an attack.

This Society for nUtuat assurance, abates the premium, to its
members, after the first five years ; the reduction for the current
year is at the rate of 4714 per cent.

REMAhIt.ABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of ther. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in year 1842,
on returning from II arlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during winch period his hair con-
qnued to come off, till he became, to use his own
terms,trmv "

then clergyman of the parish, offered hint a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try tile
effect of ROWLAND'S MAC ASSA ft OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of A bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and lie has now to boast of a very

The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Lava
secured to them a celebrity unequalled Sy any medicine of past or
present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore
to perfect health In an inconceivably short space of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains In the flea.d
or Face, and indeed of every Rhematie or Gouty affection ; in fact,
sucn has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it bas astonished all who have taken it, and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

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
expediet t to extend them to her Majesty's colonies and pos-
Ee.;sirars beyond the seas ; he it enacted, that the provisions
of the s.'d 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-
persione,s 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 is 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 put-giant to the said
Act of the sixth year o 1 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 a"med and equipped, and called out for inspection or
exerc,,e 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
(oer o;rences as are provided by the said Acts or any of
them ; and the number of men enrolled in any such colony
cr pa7se.sion shag rot be counted in the number of men
rctl o:i.ed to be enrolled in the United Kingdom of Great
Bri' 7'n and Ireland under the said Acts or any of them.
And whereas by the first-recited Act it is provided, that
one of he Maiesty's p,ircipal Secretaries of State, or, in
case of emergency, any per. on or persons bearing the war-
rant the S2cret..ry of State for that purpose, may call out,
the said enrolled pensioners in aid of the civil power for pre-
servation of the public pence as by the said Act is directed;
but each warrant, if applied for and issued after the emer-
gency has arisen. cannot in many cases be obtained in time
to meet such emergency, 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, fur 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 magistrate of any town or dis-
trict wherein such pensioners and persons having claims to
prospective or deferred pensions are enrolled, authorising him.

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 lie may
consider necessary for any term not exceeding twelve days,
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 providel in the last-mentioned 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 for
more than twelve days, unless by a warrant from
one of her M ijesty's principal Secretaries of State, or in Ire-
land, from the Lord-Lieutenant or Chief Governor of Ireland,
or in any of her Majesty's colonies and possessions beyond
the seas, from 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 tit, 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
required ; 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

DEATH OF A VICE .ADMIRAL.'
Vice-Admiral of the White, Nie.wlas Tomlinson, died at
his residence,
Middleton House, Sussex, in the 83d year of
his age. The deceaeed was as gallant an officer as ever
wore the British uniform, and had seen as much hard perso-
nal service as any one, although he had neither stars nor
garters, grand cro-sea nor medals. He entered the service
plain Nicholas Tomlinson, was midshipman of the Charon.
and scaled the wells at the siege of St. Feinando 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. Ile was made a
Lieutenant in March, 1782, and WP -,enior 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 fiith action with the Suffrein. He after-
wards commanded the brig Pelter, and with the most con-
summate daring cut out a French armed lugger on the coas
of France, lying within pistol-shot of a battery and troops,t
-d in 1795 engaged a convoy at the mouth of the
Creche, and assisted at the destruction of a French
co-vette and cutter in the Morbihan. 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 year. 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 commande b f
bra
the Sutlisante, he captured the French national 12-gun g
Revanche, and two privateers, in 1796. In 1801 he se_rveads
as a volunteer in Lord Nelson's fleet at Copenhage ,and,
promoted in September of that year. He commanded the
fire-ships at Walcheren ; but it appears he had not
_a servedrear_
his full time as a captain, for he was one of the dotted flag-
-
officers, and was only in the receipt of half-pay
admiral. It is intereting to compare the career_toafeset.hAegal-
lant deceased with that of another flag-officer. v
ral Tomlinson was a lieutenant eighteen months
.ibefore Sir
Edward Codrington entered the service, and six mouths
before the former by his hard fighting had obtained one step
Sir Edward was a post captain. They both served under
Nelson, and both had commands at Walcheren ; but the one
dies plain Vice-Admiral Nicholas Tomlinson, and the other
is Admiral of the Red Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8.,
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, EA., becomes the senior Rear-Admiral.

operations on the coast of America. He was gazetted in

FORGED BANK NOTES IN GLASGOW.AD l''•
genious fraud was detected in this city yesterday, The
fraud consists in the conversion of the word five into twenty,
thereby making a five pound note pass for a twenty pound
one. This has been practised on some of the notes of the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank. The directors and managers
of that Bank have already taken prompt steps for meeting
and frustrating the fraud, and some parties, we learn, are in
custody. The Government stamp on the back of the note is
the best proof of its integrity. We recommend a careful
examination of it. We believe that the vitiation of the Go-
vernment stamp is a capital crime. .So any delinquents
touching it are putting their necks . imminent jeopardy.—

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 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--I am sorry that my misconstruction

GRAIN RIOTING IN ROSS-SHIRE.

(From the Ross-. Jere Adua.f;ser.)
Wo regret that the spirit of opposition te the in-
meei of grain in this county. lately manifested, hes wage
our ast beet, continued. On Saturday hut, some carts
containing a quantity of meal, intended fee being -hieped
at Dingwall, to melee up a cargo far Leclibroom, were
stepped, and the boatman who was to take the meal to
the vessel was threatened with violence, if ne would not.
desist. On Monde, a vessel arrived in the canui.to 'eke
in a cargo of grain, which having 'weenie kienve to
some men trenching near, they left tarrk and hied to the
• -ssel, the master of which they ateeed. end warned
him against taking the grain ..n beard On that day the
magistrates, having reason to fear a breach •f tee Wine
le ace, resolved to swear in special renetal.iles, and the
inhabitants were summened eccordiegle; len few at-
tended, and another inening was called for se, en o'clock
in the evening for the eines. puree.e. This ;i ‘e, gas
ttendcd by a lerge number of e erse- e lit I‘i con-
trebles were sworn. Prevtist Ross and Belie itose ex
plained to the meeting tf-e necessity of preservi al- the
public peace, and the imprepriety of pre, entit g the
shipment of grain. Mr. Celin Munro, who was s ailing
the meal to Lechbroom, stated that he wanted no as-
sistance from censtehles or others to ship the meal, as
he wished to avoid disturbance, and would not ship any
tf the peo de were against it. S .veral persons objected
'0 being made constables for the shipment of grain,
,hough they were desirous, et the same time, of pre-
serving the peace. They thought the grain should not
tee shipped while there was a scercity of meal in the
eountry. While this meeting was being held, a great
crowd congregated in the street, opposite the Court-
rouse, who occasioned a good deal of noise; end when
the meeting dispersed, crowds paraded the town in all
directions, cheering and hooting.
A mob of women and children was immediately formed.
come of whom threw stenes, nod others proceeded to
tr. Munro's house. and the house of Mr. M.Donald.
Breignernwhere some pa: its of glass were broken. A bon-
fi -e w, s lighted close to the vessel, which had arrived in
he morning, and a party was set to watch in case any
terain should he shipped. The magistrates went through
the town, and did every thing they could to preserve the
peace, and the crowd gradually disappeared.
The magistrates again met on Tuesday. to swear in
constables, but few chose to come forward, and they
were consequently unable to perfect their arrangements.
About eight o'clock in the evening the streets became
crowded, and small bodies of people loitered about,
whistling and shouting, while a horn was blown by one
evidently employed for the purpose of collecting the
mob. Heating met. at, the eat end of the High•street,
the mob proceeded to Mr. Stewart's granary, on the
Greenhill, where there were abdilt sixty quarters of
grain, consisting of wheat, oaes, and barley, in order to
mix the same, that it might not be taken out of the
country. Captain Csmeron, who resides in the neigh-
bourhood, addressed the mob on the folly of their con-
duct, and advised them to disperse. They, however,
went on to the granary, and soon commenced to break
open the doors. Au entrance having been effected by
pulling the easter door of the burn asunder, the crowd
rushed in, hut as the granary was on an nip r flat, en t. nee
fr.en the barn, by means of a ladder. the inv ders were
for a time prevented from getting at the grain. At this
time Billies Rose and Mslver, and the Procurator
Fiscal arrived, and Mr. Rose at great, length addressed
the crowd, amounting to several hundreds, cautioning-
them against acts of violence, and assuring the m then
meal would be provided. This would have had e goof;
effect, hut some rather notorious brawler. here inflemed
the rabble, and some female orators hee'ne added their
mite, by no mesns inconsiderable, the impression of
the Beillie's advice was not lone felt. The barn having
been taken possession or by the Fiscal and officers,
rte crowd was cleared out, anti the d tors ne led up.
The maeistrates had no sooner gone away, than th(
crowd renewed their attack on the barn, stud enrced
themselves in in spite of all the exertions of the officers
to prevent them. Haring got. possession of the premises.
they proceeded to break open the door of the artillery
eifich was soon effected, and the corn w s immediately
mixed, and of course a very great deterioration oeca
,ioned.
Having accomplished this disgraceful outrage, and
maltreated the officers, the crowd went, in a highly
excited state and making prodigious noise, to the vessel
at the canal, to which we have already alluded, and
having awakened the master and crew, acme went 011
hoard, and the rest towed the vessel to the bottem of
the canal, where the tide having left her, the vessel
grounded, and so they could not put herfto sea. The
crowd then paraded the streetsaLOVerds Strathpeffer
toll-bar, intendiveeit is said, to ditroy Mr. M.Donald',
granary at 1315d-gend, but it being near four o'clock
in the morning, and being aware that they well watched
they, after quantities of cheering and hooting, retired.
We think it right to state that these riotous and out-
rageous proceedings were perpetrated principally by
females and boys, under the more cautious leadership of
a few whose names are well known, and who will most
likely meet the punishment of their offences.
On Wednesday the magistrates had an early consulta-
tion, and they again summoned persons to be sworn as
censtabiss, and at last succeeded. In the ever ing nearly
too took the oath ; the town was divided into three dis-
tricts, and the constabulary went to their different sta-
tions, each of the magistrates beading a division. Pre-
vious to this, Provost Ress announced, that with the
view of satisfying the people, the magistrates had ar-
ranged. that oatmeal and barleymeal should be provided
at the prices of Is. 81. and Is. ed. per peck, till the county
store was opened. Upon this a vote of thanks was given
by acclamation to the Provost and magistrates, and Mr.
done Munro having given an order for 20 bolls of oat-
meal and some barleymeal at prime cost, to the magis-
trutes, thanks were also tendered to him. There was a
good deal of noise during the night, but nothing serious.
Three persons were apprehended for disorderly conduct,
and one of those implicated in breaking open the barn
and granary, was also apprehended. On Thursday, two
of the-e women were sentenced to short imprisonments,
hut were rescued on their way to the prison, by some of
the people trenching near it. The others were lodged
in prison last night, one for three days, and the other
for further examination. The men who rescued the
women have been this day apprehended.
We are gla to say that last night the town was as
quiet as usual; and though the special constables were
on duty, there was no occasion for their interference.
About three o'clock this afternoon. 100 men of the 27th,
under the co-em aid of Lieutenant-Colonel Goodman,
errived here from Invereorden. Accemmodation has
been previd, d for them in a large house belonging to
Mr. Colin Stewart. They brought 13 prisoners trote
Invergordon, amongst whom were eight females.
Having said so much as to the vi, lent proceedings
here, we have little room to notice what took place at
ether Maces in the celerity. Shipping of grain coin-
menced at levergerrlon on Teesiley, under military pro-
teetion. On that day time Sheriffs met at Invrreordon,
with whom were Sir James Macker,zie, Tulb.ch, Ord,
General Munro of Teaninich. Mr. Fowler of Raldery,
Ste. &c., and is large die aehment of the 27th having
c one, a few ca-t 3 of grain as re shipped, and the carts
on return were sat4sheil to pieces. On Wednesday the
eldiers had to escort the carts from a distance, and
the people hevine pressed on the soldiers at Invergordon,
four oersons were woiinded, bet nit! severely. with the
bayonet. A great deal of excitement natura:ly existed,
but we a-e glad to say, that yesteriley all was quiet,
and that a great deal or grain wee shipped without the
intetp,sition of the military, which was also continued
to- day.
The district from Aloes telt`oelis Poitn hay beet; noisy
during the week, and a snood deal of violence displayed.
Th - granaries at the Point.. Balcony, and Assynt. were
broken into and the grain mixed. Tim Tialahy so dete-
riorated cannot be less than 300 quarters at Fowlis,
where, we are informed, the corn ens also mixed with
some refuse of coal and lime.

We trust that we now see the end of thov, riotoui
proceedings, which we believe were promp-ed by the
fear of famine and the high prices of food. Supplies
were promised, and depots were to be opened, tins these
steps were staved off from time to time, till tit., pc.l3le
lost confidence and brooded over disapp entmQnt. How-
ever, this cannot excuse the breaking into granaries,
and mixing of the grain therein. which ma'; e+ the mer-
cies of Providence nugatory, and so far narrows th,- sup
ply of food.

BEAUMONT INSTITUTION, BEAUMONT-SQUARE;
MILE-END.—A concert, chiefly of vocal miric, boasting a
most attractive programme, rendered still more attractive by
the prestige of the several favourite aqistes, whose reales ap-
peared on the list, was given at this institution on 31(mdtly
evening. The large and commodious hall was completely
filled by a fashionable, and a tasteful audience. Some disap-
pointment was occasioned by the non-attendance of Mi=s
Sarah Flower, who was announced in several of her molt
effective pieces, but this was compensated for by judicious
substitutions. Signor and Madame F. Lablach•, Miss Eliza
Nelson, Miss Messent, Mr. J. Parry, and Mr. Better were the
vocal, and Messrs. Cohen (pianaforte), and Abbott (violin),
the instrumental performers. They were all rapturously ap-
plauded. and frequently encored. The concert was ably
conducted by Mr. Maurice Davis, and went off with great
eclat.
COUTTS v. DuNN.—The defendant in this case was
removed immediately after the trial in a coach to the Queen's
Bench Prison, and was placed in the receiving ward, with an
intimation that the Governor would only allow him to remain
in that part of the prison for two dav, 3he defendant, how•
ever, remained until fouro'clock onThursday afternoon, when
Cadwell, the turnkey, entered andinformedthe defendant that
the Governor's orders were for him to leave immediately. Mr.
Dunn replied that he could not, as he had hitherto been unable
to get any furniture. Besides, as Lord Denman had not ordered
him to be placed in any particular part, he objected to be
placed in that portion of the prison, which would amount to
what might be termed solitary confinement. There was another
ground why he wished to remain. He intended to issue a writ
of error, and until the error was settled he was entitled to be
hailed. The turnkey, however, said his orders were impera-
tive, and Mr. Dunn was at once removed to that
part of the
prison which is set apart for misdemeanors, which is three
stories high, and separated from the other portions by a dead
wall on one side, and a high iron railing on the other. The de
fondant was conducted to what mar he termed the he
hest. roam,
No. 1, at the top of the staircase, where a fire was burning
and a chair was placed. The defendant, wanted to iiaow
whether he was to be allowed a bed' ~r was he to sleep on the
boards. Subsequently a bed and a bedstead were sent In.
with a message that he would he all owed this convenience
or ten days. by which period he must find his own furniture.
Mr. Dunn again protested against hei, gin aim,' ~,.Titer'
