WOOLWICH-MONDAY.

The Spitfire steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander William
Tringham, returned from Portsmouth to Woolwich on Friday.
This vessel was on her way to the West Indies, but was or-
dered back to have some defects in her machinery made good.
She is expected to leave Woolwich for the West Indies about
Tuesday next.
The Firebrand steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, disem-
barked her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the
Prince and Princess of Leiningen at Ostend on Friday, and
returned to Woolwich en Saturday.
The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Hastings Regi..
nald Henry, arrived at Cronstadt en the lith instant, where
she disembarked the Hon. Mr. 13loomfield and suite. On the
21st she was visited by the Grand Duke Constantine, who was
received with all the honours due to his exalted rank. On the
22d his Excellency the Marquis of Clanricarde embarked, and
the vessel immediately sailed for England, and arrived at
Woolwich at eight o'clock, P.m. on Saturday, the 29th, when
his Excellency immediately left for London.
The Meteor steam-vessel has been fitted by Lieutenant Com •
raander John Waugh and the crew of the Lightning until the
latter vessel undergoes some repairs. The Meteor is expected
to proceed in a few days, and will be accompanied by the Co-
met, Lieutenant Fiederiok Chevalier Syer, to the North St a.
to search for the wreck of the late unfortunate vessel the Fairy.
The order for launching the Trafalgar, 120 guns, on Satur-
day. the 19th of June, has not b"en altered, but, as inquiries
were made on Ft iday last to ascertain if it world be pcvsible
to launch her on Monday, the 21st of next month, as that day
would be preferred in consequence of its being the anniver-
sary of her Majesty's proclamation as Sovereign of the United
Kingdom, and an answer being given in the affirmative, it is no .v
almost certain the launch will take place en the latter day.
High water at London-bridge, on the 21st June, will be at 36
minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon ; but, as it takes
place at Woolwich about 26 minutes earlier, the time for launch-
ing will lie some minutes sooner, or as near to three o'clock as
possible.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR BOLTON OF
THE 7TH DRAGOONS.—.Monday afternoon, at three o'clock,
a Jury was empanelled at the Burlington Arms, Old Burling-
ton-street, to inquire into the circumstances attending the
death of Major John Bo'toil aged 34, late of her Majesty's 7th-
Dragoons. Edward Fitzjohn, waiter at the Burlington Hotel,
had known the deceased upwards of 14 years by lodging oc-
casionally at his master's house. The last time he saw him
alive was on Friday last, about six o'clock in the evening,
when he c.illed and wished to have a room. There being
none vacant, witness said he would procure one fur him at
Nerot's, opposite, which he did. The deceased, who ap-
peared in good health and spirits, then left, and he (witness)
saw no more of him until the following evening, when he
found him lying in bed a corpse. Sarah Pindar, housemaid at
Nerot's Hotel, said the deceased came home and retired to bed
about 11 o'clock. He was perfectly sober, and appeared in
ex,ellent health and spirits. Abaft 10 o'clock the following
morning (Saturday), finding the deceased's room door open,
she went in as far as the wash-stand, but seeing that the water-
jug had not been moved, she left it, not wishing to disturb him.
At three o'clock she a second time went into the room, when
she saw the deceased lying on his back apparently in a sound
sleep, She again left, and told the waiter of the deceased not being
up. About six o'clock, the waiter said he would go up and wake
him, as he had lain long enough. She accompanied the water
up stairs for the third time, and on their opening the shutters
the deceased was found to be quite dead, with the sheet firmly
grasped in both hands. She searched the room, but could find
nothing to indicate that the deceased had taken poison, Mr.
Miles Marley, surgeon, was called in to see the deceased about
six o'clock on Saturday evening. lie found him quite dead,
arid not the least doubt but' that he had been so above twelve
hours. He could detect no poison of any kind, his death being
caused by a fulness of blood in the brad, which, pressing on
the brain, produced apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visita-
tion of God."
A traveller domiciling at an American hotel, ex-
claimed ens morning to the waiter, " What are you about, you
black rascal? You have roused me twice from my sleep by
telling me breakfast is ready, and now you are attempting to
ey,
strip off the bed-clotbes ; what do you mean ?" " Why,' re-
plied Porn "if you isn't going to get up, I must hab de
F
sheet any .uw, 'cause de'r fcr de table elof."
