T" WELLINGTON SURTOUT.
A NEW LIGHT REPELLENT OVER-COAT FOR THE
SPRING.—Registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65.—PATRONISED by
B.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, the ROYAL FAMILY, his Grace the
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, the PRINCIPAL NOBILITY, and
OFFICERS of the GUARDS.

This gentlemanly garment, cut without seams on the shoulder,
so as to improve the figure, and which (owing to its elasticity) fits
equally well either as an over-coat or MOUT SUMMER FROCK,
is made of a peculiar cloth, manufactured in the west of England,
expressly for this coat, of double twist warp and weft, and finest
Saxony wool, is guaranteed, to endure and maintain its primitive
appearance at least twice the time of ordinary cloth, however good
the quality, as it does not wear white or rough, and although re-
pellent, is perfectly porous. The sleeves are lined with ar ich dura-
ble silk, so that the coat slips on and off easily, and, owing to its
softness, lightness, and elasticity, the wearer experiences perfect
ease and freedom when the coat is buttoned.

The WELLINGTON ,lIRTOUT commends itself to all who desire
a quiet, elegant, gentlemanly appearance ; it is kept in every size and
leading colour, ready for Immediate wear, price Two Guineas and a
Mali, net cash on delivery. Every genuine coat has a stamp bearing
the royal arms, with a number indicative of the size, and name and
address of the patentee, JAMES FOUGERE, 6, CONI)UIT-
STREET, REGENT-STREET, and 11, POULTRY, near the MAN-
SION-HOUSE, LONDON.

very difficult to replace him. Moreover, when they came to
look at Norfolk Island, they found that they had a very
serious difficulty to encounter, for few men, such as they
would wish to employ, would like to live there. Excluded
from civilised society, without any one with whom to associate
but those who were employed in the same capacity as them-
selves or the criminals they were to guard,—he believed that it
was quite impossible for men so situated, not to be deteriorated
in character. It was impossible that their moral qualities
should not suffer from the atmosphere in which they were
placed. He believed that the reason of government, in this
particular, being mere easy at home was, that they could em-
ploy men as overseers, who were not excluded from all social
intercourse, or compelled to associate only with those who
were employed in a similar capacity, or those over whom they
were placed. This was the reason of the inefficiency in the
government of convicts at home. It was this consideration
that led her Majesty's Government to the conclusion that
punishment at home could be effected more safely at a cheaper
cost, and more efficiently, at home than in a distant colony.
From a system of punishment properlywconducted at home
they would derive this advantage, that they would have the
power of immediately checking abuse, the power of instantly
ejecting officers that proved inefficient, the power of correcting
any errors that might be made in the general regulations—all
those advantages which were altogether wanting to the colonies
would be enjoyed to the fullest extent, by carrying out a sys-
tem of punishment at home. Such then, was the determina-
tion of the Government. It was proposed still to look to penal
labour and imprisonment as the elements of punishment. It
was proposed to consider whatever would tend to the reforma-
tion of the offender; and therefore it was determined that
every criminal sentenced to transportation should undergo a
period longer or shorter, as the crime might be, of what had
been called separate imprisonment—that no criminal
sentenced to transportation should escape what was called se-
parate confinement. Their experience for the last three or
four years had satisfied them of the good effect likely to be
produced by this system. It was most efficient in those who
seemed least capable of impression, and beneficial
on those most capable of reformation—( Hear)—but he
thought that that was a mode of punishment which ought to
be carried oat with great caution.—(Hear. hear.) It could
not be carried out to a very great extent, and he thought the
Noble Duke, from his observation, as a Commissioner of
Pentonville, would concur with him that it could not be car-
ried beyond a very short period. It had been proposed, there-
fore, that every offender should undergo a period of seprate
confinement, not longer than eighteen months. That was the

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new ballet was produced here on Thursday night, entitled
Spanish Gallantries. The plot is one of intrigue, and is so in-
volved as to be almost incomprehensible, but as in ballets of
this character plat is a matter of mere secondary considera-
tion, the matter is one of little importance. The dances are
admirable, and the cenery beautiful, and these, after all,
are the two great elements of success in a ballet.
There is a minuet in the opening scene, which was
exquisitely danced by the pretty and graceful Marietta
Baderna and by Mademoiselle Benart. The pas de
einq in the second scene by Mdlles. Baderna,
Giubelie, and Adele, and MM. Croce and Paul, was
M.
triumph of choerographic art. The tours de force of
M. Croce in this pas were among some of the most
wonderful ever attempted. The gem of the ballet,

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Lawrence Gregg, described as a gentleman of property
residing at No. 17, Ask-terrace, Hoxton, New Town, was
charged with being found by the police, in the public street,
drunk, and incapable of taking care of himself, and with
violent conduct, &c., at the station-house.
Police constable 405 N deposed, that he was on duty at
about three o'clock, when be discovered the defendant in the
street, so drunk that he was reeling from one side of the
pavement to the other. He had got a puree in his hand, and
on witness speaking to bim, the latter said, "I think I have
lost some silver, and a Si. note. Witness, on examining the
contents of the purse discovered the defendant's money to be
correct. Perceiving, however, a female of loose character to
be apparently watching him, and that he had, in addition to
the cash, a gold guard chain round bis neck, he thought
it prudent to convey him to the station-house, with a view
to his being afterwards conducted home. He, however, on
arriving at the station-house, assailed the inspector, police-
sergeants, and other constables, with the most opprobrious
epithets ; he refused to give his name or address, and his
conduct was altogether so violent, that they were at length
compelled to place him in a cell, which, however, took three
persons to perform.
Mr. ARNOLD said the defendant's conduct was very bad.
He did not see why the defendant should be treated diffe-
rently to a person in humble circumstances. He should,
therefore, commit him to the House of Correction for three
days.

PEARL CANDLE LAMP.-NO FICTION !!
—The Lamps hitherto used have created vast inconvenience,
and it is high time they were annihilated—thanks to the gigantic
improvements of our age, the time is at hand. To offer a Lamp—
perfection —is, we deem, rendering a public service ; for what are we
without light ? The Pearl is so simple, it canxot be mismanaged.
No defining required. To sell the ordinary Candle Lamps is now
impossible; the public have long enough been pestered with such
rubbish. The Pearl Candle Lamp is the perfection of candle lights.
The public will have none other. Designs to suit every taste.

Till'', LATE COLLISION ON TEE RIVER.—The.

---
rectors of the London and Leith Navigation Company have
instituted an investigation at Leith into the circumstances
attending the late accident, which resulted in the loss of the
Rose schooner and several lives, through collision with their
steamer the Royal Victoria. Mr. Wetter, the captain of the
Rose, was examined, and detailed the circumstances under
which the collision occurred, so far as he knew them, and said
that kis schooner was anchored on the north side of the
Thames at the time. The night was quite clear. He had
no lights fixed to the schooner's mast or bow. The steamer
struck her on the larboard bow, and she went down on her
broadside. The steamer had her engines reversed, and she
went astern before the Rose sunk. Was part-owner of the
vsssel. She had been valued at 8001. or 9001. She was 18
years old. Captain Meiklereid, the master of the Royal Vic-
toria, stated that he left St. Katherine's Wharf on Saturday
night, at twelve o'clbck. The pilot left her at the
usual place, Gravesend. He then took the control of the
steamer, and on arriving off the creek at Hole Haven, about
half a mile from the shore, the accident occurred. On nearing
Hole Haven he noticed three vessels ahead, one under canvass,
and the other two at anchor. He wanted to go to the north-
ward, between the two at anchor, as he could not get to the
southward, the sailing vessel being close on to him. He was
on the bridge, and the carpenter was with him. The second
mate, Johnson, was at the helm. It was the carpenter's
duty to be on the look out, and Dickson was on the bow.
The night was clear, and he saw the vessels half a mile off.
He would have gone to the southward of the vessels if there
had been room. He desired the helm to " port, port—hard
a-port." The helm, in consequence of the ebb tide, did not
steer well, and he directed the engineer to say the engines
and reverse them, so as to go astern

up none. The steamer was brought to an anchor, and for
two hours remained by the spot where the Rose went down

TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE

BLOCKADE OF THE COAST OF ALBANIA.
It is hereby eRb yE InGo tNi eOdF thatFl iSscEorrun't4P, 47
allBme st, n, her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, has received from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's
Acting Minister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime Porte, a
dispatch, dated the 3d of August last, inclosing the
copy of a note addressed to him by the Turkish Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, officially communicating tire
intention of the Sublime Porte to blockade the cosi& of
Albania.
The tenor of the note from the Turkish Mir:later is
as follows:—
Troops in sufficient numbers have br,en 'sent from
hence, and several ships of war detachr,d frrpn the Im-
perial fleet under the command of Mrlstapb-a Bey, Cap-
tain of the Admiral's ship, have been swat to put down
without delay the rebellious acts wtiich certain ill-
advised persons have lately committed in that part of
Albania which is inhabited by the Toscali.
" It is unnecessary to state to you, Sir, that, as the
speedy and fortunate conelusie,n of so important a matter
depends, with God's assistance, on surrounding the
brigands on all sides, it bus been determined to cause a
blockade to be established by the ships selected for this
purpose after an interval of a month, dating from to-day,
throughout the whole Albanian coast, from and in-
cluding Prevesa up to the extremity of the port of
Durazzo.
" The Sublime Porte, therefore, requests, Sir, that you
will duly notify this measure to the merchant vessels
belonging to your nation ; in order that they may not
be found within the said limits at the expiration of
the period above stated : that you will inform them,
that should any vessels, disregarding the warning
of the officers whose duty it will be to cause
the blockade to be respected, attempt forcibly and
contrary to the regulations to enter any of the ports
the entrance into which is prohibited to them, they will
be treated as vessels violating a blockade are every-
where treated ; and that you will give them orders to
the effect, that, as long as it shall not have been officially
notified to you that the disturbances having been, with
God's help, put an end to, the blockade is raised, they
must conform to the principles above laid down.
" And, considering that it is possible that merchant
vessels which may not have been apprized during the
said interval of the establishment of the blockade in
question, may present themselves on those coasts, you
are requested to deliver to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Sublime Porte, to be afterwards given to
Mustapha Bey, a proclamation, in order that he may,
by showing them that proclamation, prevent them from
entering the blockaded ports.

BLOCKADE OF BUENOS AYRES

The following communication has been received by
Messrs. Ricketts, Boutcher, and Co., of Gracechurch-
street, in reply to an application made by them to
the Government for information on the subject of
raising the blockade of Buenos Ayres by the British
and French naval forces in the river Plate :
" Foreign-office, Sept. 2, 1847.
" Gentlemen,—I am directed by Viscount Palmer-
ston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
Ist instant, in which you request to be informed
whether her Majesty's Government has received in-
formation as to the point of the reported raising of
the blockade of Buenos Ayres by the British naval
force in the river Plate, and also whether Lord
Palmerston can inform you if the French have con-
curred in that measure and were pursuing the same

course.
" I am to state to you in reply, that her Majesty's
Government have received a dispatch from Lord
Ilowden, dated off Monte Video, the 15th of July
last, in which his Lordship reports that he had autho-
rised the commander of the British naval force in the
river Plate to raise the blockade of Buenos Ayres, in
so far as the vessels under, his command were con-
cerned. But her Majesty s Government have as yet
received no information as to whether the French
authorities in the river Plate have concurred in that
measure, and have raised the blockade on the part of
the French naval force.
I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble

IF° ElOaNftTeity railway, particularly on the portion from Burnt-
island to Cupar, and a confident expectation is enter-
tained that it will be immediately opened for public
traffic. Tuesday the directors started from the Burnt-
island station in a train of three carriages, and
proceeded along the line, as far as completed,
inspecting the various works, which are of great
magnitude at many points, and stopping at all the
stations. At Cupar the whole population turned
out, attracted by the novelty of a locomotive engine
and train of carriages entering the town, and the direc-
tors were met by the magistrates, who courteously in-
vited them to a dejeuner prepared for the occasion. The
Provost of Cupar, in the course of the entertainment,
expressed the thanks of his fellow-townsmen, and con-
gratulated the directors on the success of their under-
taking. Mr. Balfour, the ,chairman of the company,
acknowl,dged the Provosts courtesy
in appropriate
terms. Shortly afterwards the directors resumed their
seats in the experimental train, and returned at a rapid
and easy rate to Burntisland, highly satisfied with the
,ffioilacy of the works, and the masterly engineering
displayed throughout the whole coarse of the under-
taking.—Caledonian Mercury,
