THE LEEDS DEPUTATION UPON

EDUCATION.

The deputation appointed by the meeting of persons
favourable to the Government measure of education,
held at the Court House of Leeds, on Monday, the Sth
of March, at which the Mayor presided, consisting of
the Rev. Dr. Hook, Mr. J. G. Marshall, the Rev. W.
Sinclair, Mr. J. Gott, the Rev. C. Wicksteed, and Mr.
ff. Staesfeld, had an interview yesterday with the Pre-
sident of the Council at Privy Council-4fice: they
were introduced by Lord Alorpetb and Mr. Aidam,
Member for Leeds. His Lordship received them very
courteously, ned entered at once upon the subject. The
deputation stated the reason of their soliciting an inter-
view, and read the resolutions passed at the meeting.
They then stated what were the popular objections to
the measure:— _ _

1. The unconstitutional manner in which it was
alleged that the measure was brought forward by a
single vote of the House of Commons; to this his Lord-
ship replied, that this, as the resolution just read to him
showed, brought the question annually before the con-
sideration of Parliament, but he remarked that in addi-
tion to the vote of the House of Commons, both on pro-
posing the grant and bringing up the report, it could
only have the force of law by the Appropriation Act,
which went through all the forms of the House, and
when carried to the House of Lords might there be ob-
jected to and thrown out in any stage, on the ground of
its containing this very vote.
2. It was mentioned that objections were raised to the
prospects held out to the pupils of normal schools, who
might not show qualities fitting them for the office of
teacher, that they should be provided for by situations
in the revenue department ; to this his Lordship replied,
that instead of increasing, this rather put a check upon
the patronage at the disposal of the Government ; these
situations were now in their gift, and were conferred
without any control ; that under the proposed regula-
tion, instead of being given to any one whom the
Minister might please to appoint, they would be bestowed
upon deserving young men trained in normal schools, if
not thought qualified for teaching.
3. An objection was stated that a large amount of
patronage would by these minutes be placed at the dis-
posal of Government, by the appointment of pupil
teachers and stipendiary monitors ; to this his Lordship
replied, that the patronage would really be vested in the
hands of the local managers, and not in those of the
Government ; and he could not see how a patronage
subjected to so many checks and to full publicity could
possibly be a' used.
4. On its being mentioned to his Lordship that a great
clamour had been raised against the minutes, as de-
signed to increase the influence of the Church, he re-
marked that it was very unfounded, for the minutes
were framed in the most anxious spirit of fairness, and
were intended to improve education, not to interfere
with the religious opinions of the people.
5. On its being stated that fears were entertained lest,
if several schools were applying at the same time for
grants, and the funds at the disposal of Government
were limited, an unjust preference might be given to
one school over another, his Lordship replied that the
principle to be adopted would be that the first applica-
tion should be the first attended to.

6. It was urged that many entertained apprehensions
lest inspectors might be appointed to visit shools who
might be obnoxious to the religious denomination to
which these schools belonged; his Lordship expressly
declared that all bodies of Dissenters should enjoy the
same safeguard as the Church, and that no inspector
should be appointed unacceptable to the religious corn
munion with which the schools were connected.

7. On its being remarked that much opposition would
probably cease if it were dsstinctly shown that any
school not built with the aid of public money, but which,
on requesting inspection, bad received annual grants t( r
its support, might free itself from inspection by ceasi;ig
to receive the annual grant, his Lordship, after some
di•:cussion and consultation with the other members of
the Education Committee then present, declared that he
should accede to this proposal, and he authorised the
deputation to make known this determination to those
inter, sted in the matter.

The deputation left his Lordship with the full convic-
tion that the measure is proposed and intended to be
carried out with perfect fairness to all parties.

MADEMOISELLE JENNY LIND.
No answer has been returned by Mr. Bunn to the pro-
position of Mdlle. Jenny Lind's solicitor, as will be seen by
the following letter:--
- (CPPY.)

" 9,-Chialcary-lane, March 19, 1847.

" Sir,—l am still waiting for the answer to my communi-
cations, which you promised should be immediate. On my
part all the forms of courtesy and business have been ob-
served. On my first addressing you, I had the honour of
observing that the letter of Mademoiselle Lind was open to
your inspection and that of your legal advisers. On your
expressing a wish to have this letter in your hands to satisfy
yourself, I called upon you, and whilst I stated that this
note formed an essential part of my instructions, and I could
not, therefore, part with it, I placed it in your hands to
peruse.
. . . - • _ .

" On returning it, you stated that you were perfectly satis-
fied as to its authenticity, and would give me a reply in the
course of that day. This answer I therefore beg leave to
demand directly at your hands, and I trust that if you are
new held by a bond to other parties, which prevents your
acceptance of a gift of peace, of which you of course could
not foresee the generous offer, and still less the extraordinary
liberality, I trust you will consider it due to yourself and
to Mdlle. Lind, in all fairness, to state the circumstances.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,
(Signed) " E. JENNINGS.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night Balfe's opera
of the Bondman was performed by express desire of her Ma-
jesty, who attended the theatre in company with his Royal
Highness Prince Albert and suite. Among the attendants
upon her Majesty we observed Lady Disart, the Hon. Miss
Morris, the Hon. Miss Dawson, Lord lorley, Colonel Grey,
&c. The Queen listened with great attention, and appeared
much pleased with Mr. Balfe's clever music, and her Royal
Consort laughed heartily at the irresistible drollery of Mr.
Harley in the first two scenes of the second act. The opera
was well played, Miss Romer, who has partially recovered,
assuming the part of Corinne. Mr. Harrison sang with great
effect, and was liberally applauded. A divertissement fol-
lowed the opera, in the course of which Madlle. Marietta
13aderna danced the Cachoucha with such elegance and viva-
city as to obtain an encore, which was joined in from the
royal box. After this the illustrious visitors retired, at half-
past ten o'clock, leaving the new ballet, Spanish Gallantries,
to be performed. The house was very fully attended.
MADAME BISHOP.—We have been requested to
contradict the statement which has appeared recently in
several papers, that Madame Bishop is about to make a pro-
fessional tour in America. Our informant assures us that
Madame Bishop has never had any intention of crossing the
Atlantic, but that she will return to London on the con-
clusion of her provincial engagements, in May, and remain
in town for the season.

SALE OF NOLLEKEN'S "VENllB."—Yesterday, St
Messrs. Christie and Manson's auction-rooms, the beautiful
theto brigla
statue in marble, by Nollekens, of" Venus pouting ambrosia
on her hair," was sold by auction. This statue, although
the property • of a mall named Russel, of Curzon-street, May-
fair, has, since the sale of Nolleken's effects many years
since, remained at the auctioneer's gallery. Mr. Manson
stated that the sculptor during his life had refused the sum
of 1,000 guineas for the statue. The first offer was 100
guineas, and eventually it was knocked down to Mr. Golds-
mid for 255 guineas. In addition, three bests, by Nollekens,
of Sterne, a copy of the " TOwneley Clytie," and of Fox,
fetched 37, '29, and 15i guineas each.
An acre of beet will yield as much true food as
lice acres of oats, or three and a half of wheat. Sugar beet
makes excellent bread; nearly as good, that is to say as
nutritive, as wheaten bread; and therefore it is clear, that a
man who has an acre of that kind of root, is in the position
of the man who has three and a half acres of wheat ready
for the sickle. If an acre of wheat will produce one thou-
sand loaves, an acre of sugar beet will produce three thou-
sand five hundred.

MILITARY FUNERAL.

The remains of Captain Torrens, of the Royal Aral!
lery, were interred, o❑ Thursday, at Portsmouth, in the
garrison chapel. The gallant deceased was aged only
30 when he died; his malady was, in the opinion of Dr.
Stewart, his attendant surgeon, jaundice and dropsy.
He had been 12 years in the corps, and was greatly
respected. The chief mourners were Capt. Torrens, of
the 23,1 Regiment, brother, and Capt. Hugh Patton, R.N.,
uncle of deceased. The procession began to move from
the Colewort Barracks in the fallowing order, at 12
o'clock .—The firing party, 100 rank and file ot• the

FEVER FROM PUTRID EMANA-

TIONS.

The health-destroying power of emanations from
putrifying organic matter is now pretty universally
acknowledged ; and our readers must be tolerably
familiar with the general nature of the evidence by
which that destroying influence is proved. The general
eflect of living amidst insalubrious emanations is
not so much the production of specific disease as
the lowering of the general health, the aggravation
of any form of sickness that may occur, and the dimi-
nution of those conservative powers by which health is
restored and disease resisted. The instances are com-
paratively rare, in which putrid emanations alone can
be shown to have actually produced distinct forms of
disease. It but seldom happens that the aerial poison
is so concentrated as to produce its full effect ; it is
still more rare to find this one cause of disease to
be acting singly. It is very probable, however,
:now that attention is powerfully called to the
subject, that, in many instances, the origin of
hitherto mysterious visitations of pestilence will receive
an explanation, as has been the case in two remarkable
cases. One of these we have lately noticed—viz., the
epidemic typhus occurring in Minchiahampton, conse-
quent upon the disturbance of a large quantity of grave
yard soil, strongly impregnated with animal remains.
The other is a local epidemic of typhoid fever, occurring
in the early part of last year. but to which our attention
has only lately been directed.
The Monthly Journal of Medical Science for July,
1846, contains a paper by Dr. Christison, describing a
remarkably circumscribed epidemic, to all appearance
otiginating from local malaria, occurring in a thinly
peopled district of Peebleshire. Mrs. W—, the first
victim, was attacked on January 22, 1846, by a fever of
peculiar character, from which she appeared to be re-
covering in about a fornight ; but shortly afterwards
rapidly sunk, and died on the 26th day after the first
seizure. Her husband, who, like Mrs. W—, was a
hale old person of seventy, was taken ill on the 25th of
January, with similar symptoms ; and, after appearing
somewhat to recover, sunk on th 25th day of his ill-
ness. The son and daughter, after having been from
home for some weeks, returned on the 19th, and were
attacked by similar disease—the son on the 25th, the
daughter on the 28th of January ; but these two ulti-
mately recovered. A female servant, who was seized on
the 26th, died after six days' illness. The daughter of
one of the ploughmen, who was frequently in the house,
was seized on the Ist of February, but recovered after
about ten days' illness. In short, of fifteen persons living
in and frequenting the house, three perished, and all
were so far ill, as to be obliged to give up work; whilst
everal other persons who had been occasionally in the
house are stated to have had slight attacks. In no one
instance. was the disease communicated to any person
not frequenting the house, though eight of the sick lay
ill in the neighbouring cottages.
The operation of poison was not unnaturally sus-
pected ; and Dr. Christison was engaged in the investi-
gation. This idea was, however, quickly abandoned ;
for the symptoms observed were not those known to be
produced by any poison; they were not those commonly
produced by diseased meat. Then, three of the parties
who had suffered had never partaken of food in the
house at all, and the cases did not occur simultaneously.
After very careful investigation, the only plausible ex-
planation which offered was afforded by an examination
of the house itself. It appeared that the farm- stead,
with its manure-yard, was behind the house, and above
it in level ; that the drains from it, passing close to the
house, were choked with filth, the effluvium of which,
when the drains were opened, was exceedingly offensive,
and was diffused to a considerable extent around; and it
was scarcely possible but that the adjacent soil was im-
pregnated with pent-up pollution. It may be added,
that there was an unusual accumulation of farm-yard
stuff—that it was heaped up against the back of the
house ; and that the drains bad not been cleared out for
at least three years. "I apprehend then," concludes
Dr. Christison, " that the nature of this, at first, incom-

We consider cases like this very important, both as
illustrative of the danger resulting from the presence of
putrefying filth, and also of the utility of instituting a
rigid examination into the hidden causes of disease. No
one can doubt that emanations similar to those which in
this instance produced effects so disastrous and appal-
ling—every member of a large family suddenly stricken
with severe illness, and three out of fifteen quickly falling
victims to its virulence—must produce serious mischief
to all exposed, in whatsoever degree. No one can fail

THE LATE COAL-PIT EXPLOSION NEAR BARNSLEY.
—On Thursday morning G. D. Barker, Esq., Deputy-Coroner,
resumed his inquiries into the cause of the deaths of the
late unfortunate .sufferers at Oaks-colliery. Atter hearing
the evidence of G. Pickering, Nicholas Wood, coal viewer,
of Newcastle (whom the coroner had sent for to attend the
inquest), Joseph Hardcastle, Joseph Beaumont, agent to
Field, Cooper, and Co., at Woisbro', T. Drury, Wm. Cooke,
David Crossley, Jas. Uttley, Matthew Haigh, and Mr. George
Wilson, the Coroner summed up, and the jury retired. After
an absence of about forty minutes, the jury returned into
Court, and the foreman handed in the following verdict
Accidental death. death. " The jury at the same time wish to
state that they are of opinion that efficient regulations are
not enforced in this district to prevent the use of naked
lights in those parts of mines where inflammable gas is
known to exist, and are further of opinion that the recurrence
of accidents involving so large a loss of human life, demand
the immediate attention of her Majesty's Government, and
justify Parliament in passing such a code of regulations as
would give security to persons employed in mining opera-
tions. That their opinion is recommended to be forwarded
to the Secretary of State." The coroner said he should comply
with the request of the jury, and, having thanked them for
their attention during this important investigation, the in-
quiry closed. The body of Abram Matthews, the last re-
maining sufferer in the pit, was got out to-day.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE DEVONPORT TOWN-
HALL.--Yesterday morning between nine and ten o'clock,
as some men were employed on the repairs which for
some time past have been in progress on the exterior of
the building, a portion of the scaffolding gave way, and
four of those upon it were precipitated from a height of
nearly thirty feet to the ground. Three of the poor fellows,
named Simmons (an uncle and two nephews), with a man
called Gifford, are the unfortunate sufferers, one of them
haying a fractured arm, another a fracture of both legs, a
third having broken his leg and his thigh, and a fourth his
thigh only. They were at once conveyed to the workhouse,
where every care has been taken of them.—Plymouth Journal
of Thursday.
ANOTHER COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—Yesterday morn-
ing an accident occurred in the Broadgate coal mines, situ-
ated near Masbro', in consequence of an explosion of fire-
damp. Seven men were badly burnt. Men, women, and
children ran from all directions to ascertain who were the
sufferers. The explosion was quite terrific. It occurred be-
tween six and seven
o'clock.
Medical assistance was promptly
in attendance, and the surgeon said they were in a very pre-
carious state.—Leeds Mercury.

ELECTION of a REPRESENTATIVE

-
PEER FOR SCOTLAND.
Yesterday being the day appointed for ele.qing a
Representative P. er of Scotland, in room of the late
Lord Rollo, the Principal Clerks of Session, the Lord
Provost and Magistrates, the Deans of the Chapel Royal,
and other officials, assembled for that purpose in the
Picture Gallery of Holyrood House. As usual on such
occasions, the galleries erected for the accommodation of
the public were crowded. Principal Lee, one of the
Deans of the Chapel Royal, opened the proceedings
with prayer. The union 1.01 having been called, the
following Peers answered to their names:—Earl of Hod-
riington, Earl of Lauderdale, Earl of Leven and Melville,
Earl of Selkirk, Lord Gray, Lord Rollo, Lord Colville,
Lord Polwarth, Viscount Stormont.
The above•named noblemen having taken the oaths of
allegiance, &c., their names were called over, when each
of them gave his vote for Lord Gray.
Signed lists were then read from the Earls of Morton,
Moray, Airlie, and Balcarres, Viscount Arbuthnott, and
Lord Saltoun—all of whom voted for Lord Gray. There
were no proxies.
Lord Gray was accordingly declared duly elected a
Representative Peer of Scotland ; and the necessary
documents having been signed and sealed, the proceed-
ings were closed with prayer by Dr. Robert Lee, one of
the Deans of the Chapel Royal.—Caledonian Mercury
of Thursday.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Neu, Price Current of March 19.)
SUGAR.—To-day the rates previously established for all
sorts of Muscovado Sugar were fully supported, and all
parties were desirous to operate; but the sales were confined
to 110, making the total purchases for the week 460 hhds
and trcs. The market closes with a firm aspect for all good
grey, white, and yellow kinds.
REFINISD.—To-day Refined Goods were largely dealt in
by the home trade, and a further rise in the value took place
—brown melting lumps selling at 63s 5d to 645, brown
grocery 64s 6d to 655, and standard lumps 65s 6d per cwt.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar prices are firm at 36s 6d to 37s
for the best, and little is to be had.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 896 bags of Madras were
offered at public sale, and all sold at about the former value.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a lively demand
for Mauritius Sugar, and 8,861 bags, 18 casks, at auction,
were all sold, generally at an advance on the rates of the last
public sales of 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon 100 bags of Sugar, imported
from Dunkirk, were offered at auction, and taken in at 51s
for fine strong yellow.
CoFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sparingly
dealt in by private treaty; and 41s Gd to 42s per cwt. is the
value of good ord pale. Plantation met with little atten-
tion ; and 610 bags at auction were only partly sold at 57s
to 59s 6d for fine ord bold pale greyish, 55s for very good
ord, and at 49s to .56s for country d..maged.
TEA.—The market for all descriptions of Black and Green
has presented a dull appearance all the week; and the
amount of business transacted privately has been trifling.
The rates taken show a slight decline ou those that existed
previously. The hiddings were very languid at the public
sales, which began yesterday and finished this afternoon.
RICE.—To• day there was little desire manifested to operate
in Bengal Rice; at the public sales of 2,470 bags 149 packets
were nearly all taken in at about the former value.

COOMNEAL.—This afternoon the quantity of Cochineal
offered at auction was 198 bags, but a part only sold at about
former rates for fine silvers, whilst the lower sorts went ld
to 2d lower.

FRUIT. —Denia Raisins, in baskets, for wine making are
still much wanted. Valentias are dull, and 38s to 40s per
cwt. are the rates taken. The stock of Turkey pulled Figs
being heavy, holders accept 42s to 50s. Greek have met with
a dull sale at 345, and inferior 32a to 335. Currants are in
good request, and holders manifest firmness.
Srznrrs.—ln Jamaica Rum the business transacted has
been rather limited, and prices must be regarded as nominal.
East India of proof strength can be obtained at 3s 4d to
3s 6d. Leeward Island is neglected, and 3s 8d to 3s 9d are
the nearest quotations for proof strength. In Demerara
nothing has been done. In Brandy only a limited business
has been done by exporters or the home trade, and owing to
the increasing stock, holders are inclined to realise.
lunicio.—Of East India a fair quantity has been taken,
the rates paid are fully equal to those of the last quarterly
sales, and, in some cases, rather above.

,
TALLOW.—Holders of Russian accepted prices 3d to 6d per 1
cwt under those that previously prevailed ; still only a
limited business has been transacted. For delivery in the
last three months of the year a good demand has existed,
and 46s 6d to 46s 9d are the rates given. The value of
home made is 508 to 50s 6d nett cash for present delivery,
but the demand is less active, and there is a fair supply.
Otis.—The demand has increased considerably for Lin-
seed oil, and prices have risen 2s to 2s 6d per cwt. Rape
seed oil met with a lively demand. Importers of olive have
much confidence, as the home demand is still active, and a
fair quantity having been taken for exportation. Palm is
yet little wanted for exportation, but a good home demand
exists. Cocoa nut has further advanced in value. Lard oil
has been disposed of to a fair extent. There has been a
brisker demand for cod oil, and a slight rise in prices took
place. Southern met with a good demand, and the supply
at present being small, a further rise in value for all descrip-
tions took place.

TURPENTINE.—In Rough only a moderate business has
been done but the stock being small, holders are enabled to
obtain lls tolls 6d per cwt. for small parcels. Spirits move
off slowly, English at 49s to 50e, and American ate Os per
cwt duty paid casks included.
HOPS.—The demand is far from active, but factors are un•
willing to reduce their prices and offer only a limited quan-
tity for sale.
SALTPETRE.—The demand has been active for all descrip-
tions of rough this week, the rates paid have been fully equal
to those of this day week, and 2,805 bags of Calcutta at auc•
Lion were all sold.

AMERICAN IgoN.—The first bar of American
railroad iron was made in 1844, and an American paper now
states that there are at present 16 or 18 mills, at which it
is made at the rate of about 120,000 tons per annum.
"This amount is sufficient to lay four miles of railroad
per day, or 1,200 miles per year ;" and hence the prospect
of any large exportation from Great Britain at the prices
to which our inordinate railway speculations have driven
this commodity can hardly be looked for. The Trenton
iron-works (New York) alone have entered into a con-
tract to furnish the New York and Michigan lines with
9,000 tons of rails during the current year, and the capacity
of their works will enable them in addition to supply
the market with '2OO tons per month. In Pennsylvania
the use of the anthracite coal, which abounds in that state,
appears to have stimulated this branch of manufactare, since
there are now 40 furnaces in blast -- many of them of the
largest class—where this kind of fuel is consumed, although
in 1840 none existed in successful operation. There is one
iron manufacturing company in Pennsylvania which alone
consumes GO,OOO tons of anthracite and 100,000 bushels of
bituminous coal annually.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN REGENT-STREET, WESTMIN-
STKa.—This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a *
rapidly-
destructive tire was discovered burning upon the
occupied conjointly by Mr. Willis, a carpedter and builder
and Mr. Mills and Mr. Woed (private), situate No.ltr2,
Regent-street, Westminster. The flames, w hen first p
ceived, were raging in t: .e front parlour, and although the
inmates were immediately made aware of the disaster, the)
had the greatest difficulty in effecting a safe retreat from the
blazing property. The intelligence haviug been forwarded
to the fire-stations, with all possible expedition the Horse-
terry-road engine arrived, and was followed by that of the
West of England Company, and numerous others of the
London Brigade and County establishments. As soon a-
water could be obtained from the mains in the district the.
engines were set to work, but the flames by that period bad
obtained the complete possession of the lower portion of the
building, and, notwithstanding the copious streams of water
that were discharged into the premises, the flames continued
to progress most fearfully, and, in less than half an hour
after the outbreak, the house became enveloped in fire from
the basement to the roof. Fur some time great fears were
entertained for the safety of the two adjoining houses, occu-
pied respectively by Mrs. Sitford, haberdasher, and Mr. Gil-
ling, general dealer. Owing, however, to the exertions of
the firemen, the flames were confined to the premises in which
they originated, but they were not entirely extinguished
until the building was gutted, and the whole of the furniture
and wearing apparel of the occupants totally destroyed.' The
origin of the calamity could not be ascertained. Unfortu-
nately, the sufferers were all uninsured. Superintendent
Lowry and Inspector Moren, with a strong body of policemen,
rendered essential services to the firemen by keeping the
crowd out of the way.
COMMITTAL TO INEWGATE FOR DILUTING MILR.—
A man named Henry Stanley, in the service of Mr. Nokes,
a farmer, at Stifford Clays, in Essex, and contractor for the
supply of milk to the Bethnal-green Union, was committed
to Newgate by Mr. Broughton on Wednesday, for having
mixed water with the milk sent to the workhouse. The
milk was brought from Mr. Nokes's farm in Essex, by rail-
way, in locked cans, which the prisoner then took to the
union. He conti ived, however, on the way to abstract
several gallons by turning the cans upside down, and letting
some of the milk run out through the air holes, and then to
fill the cans again with water. A great deal of merriment
was caused by a middle-aged person, who had exhibited
great interest on the prisoner's behalf, and who
... was de-
scribed to be a milkman in considerable business, earnestly
assuring the magistrate that the practice complained of was
lN
in daily use, and that not only was it customary, but -asabso-
lutely
necessary, to reduce by water the strength of the milk,
which was at some seasons, and state of the animal's health,
of so rich a quality when it left the cow that the oscilla-
tion and perturbation it sustained in the course of its trans-
mission by cart or railway would be certain to churn it, and
convert it into butter or cheese beforef it had reached the
mouths of those who had bought it; in he intimated to
Mr. Broughton, that pure milk wasbvfarettOo rich a quality
4 to suit the constitutions of the custom'en.a

NAVAL INTE'LLIGENCE,
COURT-MARTIAL—SENTENCE OF DEATH.
PonetouTir, MAncn 19.—A court-martial, comprising
Rear- Adiniral Hyde Parker, C. 8., president; Captain Pasco,
of the Victory; Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent; Cap-
tain Henderson, C. 8., of the Sidon ; Captain Milne, of the St.
Vincent; and Mr. George L. Greetham, Deputy Judge-Ad-
vocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning, at nine o'clock,
on board the Victory, 104, ordinary guard-ship in this har-
bour, to try John Barton, a private of the Royal Marines,
third class, belonging to the Salamander steam-sloop, Com-
mander (acting) Ricketts, just returned from the Pacific
station, whereon she has been employed during the past five
years, upon the following charges:—
" 1. For that he, the said John Barton, when a private
Royal Marine, and borne on the books of her Majesty's steam-
sloop Salamander, in commission, on the 28th day of January
1847, on board the said sloop, did utter mutinous words, and
threaten Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, of the said sloop, in a
violent manner, declaring he would have his life before the
ship was paid off, and did make use of gross and insubordinate
language.

2.
‘l'or that he, the said John Barton, when such private
Royal Marine, and so borne as aforesaid, en the said 28th
day of January, 1847, on board the said sloop, in commis..
sion, did strike the said Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, being
his superior officer, in the execution of his duty."
Lieutenant Simpson Hicks Ricketts, Acting Commander
of the Salamander, was the first witness called, and stated
that the prisoner was brought before him on the report of
Sergeant Sager, shortly after one P.M. on the 28th of January,
1847, and that the prisoner then called the sergeant a false-
swearing man, and said he would have his life, which he
~the prisoner) repeated several times, and made use of other
language—such as, the sergeant had always been down on
him, and that his report was false; in consequence of which
language the witness (Lieutenant Ricketts) ordered the pri-
soner into confinement, and then walked forward before the
mainmast; after doing which (witness) heard a noise on the
quarter-deck, and upon turning round saw the sergeant ap-
parently running away from the prisoner, who at the same
time kicked at the sergeant. Witness immediately walked
towards Barton, and desired him to desist, which he did, say-
ing he would do anything he (witness) wished ; the witness
sent for the master-at-arms, and had the prisoner put in
irons until he could forward the case to Captain Hamond,
who was then ashore at the dockyard at Antigua.
By the Court—The prisoner had similarly committed him-
self about eight or twelve months before, as was reported to
witness. The prisoner submitted quietly to be put in irons,
but after he was in irons he broke the padlock of them, and
was then put in a strait-waistcoat by order of Captain
Hamond (then Captainl of the Salamander). On putting
to sea from Antigua witness released the prisoner from
irons, and put him at large until the evening of the same
day, when the sergeant stated on the quarter-deck that he
did not consider his life safe with such a desperate character
as Barton at large. Witness consequently ordered the pri-
soner again into irons, but during the day (weather per-
mitting) he was allowed to remain on the poop for some
hours each day. I ordered him (continued the witness)
into the usual lock-up house in the sponson in the first
instance; his manner was strongly excited, as if he had
been drinking, but perfectly conscious of what he 'was
doing. When the prisoner was brought on the quarter-
deck, he was reported by the sergeant to me for upsetting
the mess grog, and quarrelling in his mess; but when the
sergeant attempted to make the charge, the prisoner inter-
rupted him by using the threats already named. The prisoner
is a hard-working wan, but with a bad disposition.
Colour-Sergeant Miles Sager, of the Salamander, was next
called, and stated—l reported John Barton, the prisoner, to
Lieutenant Ricketts for upsetting the mess grog, and de-
stroying the mess things, on the 28th of January, 1847. At
Antigua dockyard, on the 28th of January, Corporal Joseph
Greaves reported to me that some mess things were broken
in my mess in the loft. I went up in the loft to see, and
found the mess dinner grog spilt, the basin and plates which
were oa the table broken. In consequence of what Alexander
Dickson told me, I then went to Barton, and asked him if he
knew anything about breaking the mess things. He said he
did not. I then ordered him and Philip Marshall, a marine,
on the quarter-deck. I reported the case respecting the
breaking of the mess things and spilling the mesa grog to the
Hon. Mr. Moreton, a midshipman, requesting the case might
be brought before the first lieutenant. I began to nete to
the first lieutenant on the quarter-deck about the breaking
of the mess things and spilling the grog, but Barton would
not allow me to go on by repeatedly stating that I was a
false man, and would swear any man's life away. The first
lieutenant then ordered him to be put into the starboard
prison. Barton then made a start towards me. I attempted
to get out of his way; he made a blow with his fist, which
struck me at the back of the head, which caused me to stumble ;
my cap fell on the deck, which I picked up, and ran across
die quarter-deck, when the prisoner made a kick at me with
his foot, which hit me on the backside; he was then taken
by the master-at-arms to prison. The prisoner had threat-
ened my life before.
The Hon. Herbert Augustus Moreton, midshipman of the
Salamander, confirmed the statement of the sergeant, which
was also borne out by Corporal Greaves, and Mr. William
Hall, the acting gunner.
Mr. Thomas Alexander Teller, clerk of the Salamander,
produced the muster-book of the vessel, wherein the pri-
soner appeared as having entered in the Salamander on the
6th of July, 1841, having been draughted from the Woolwich
division.

This closed the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner
being called upon for his defence, said he had no witnesses,
our could he call any one as to his character; he said he had
no recollection of the circumstances contained in the charge,
and threw himself upon the mercy of the Court.
The Court was then cleared for deliberation, and remained
closed about one hour, at the expiration of which time it was
re-opened, and the members were found sitting with their
cocked hats on.

The witnesses having been called over,
The JUDGE-ADVOCATE read the following sentence :
" The Court is of opinion that the charges have been fully
proved against the said John Barton, and doth adjudge him
to be hanged by the neck until he is dead, at the yard-arm
of such one of her Majesty's ships, and at such time, as the
Comissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, &c.,
fur the time being, or any two or more of them, shall direct;
and the said John .iarton is hereby ordered so to suffer death
by being hanged by the neck as atoresaid accordingly."
The prisoner seemed quite unmoved at this awful sen-
tence, and was delivered over to the Provest-Marshal to be
detained by him a close prisoner until the sentence is ordered
to be carried into effect. He appeared to be a young man,
aged about 30.
The St. Vincent, 120, is progressing fast in her re-equip-
ment in the basin. She has had a complete gang of new
rigging slow and aloft. She will be docked the last thing to
clean her copper, it having been found that copper fouls very
quickly while lying in the basin.
The Sphynx steamer is nearly ready to proceed to
Woolwich. She is waiting for some portions of her ma-
chinery which were got out while she was ashore at Brook,
and left behind.

The Portland, 50, has been refitting, painting, &c., ever
since she arrived from Plymouth, eleven days ago, and begins
now to look somewhat ship-shape, which certainly was not
the case on her first arrival. The quick outfit of this vessel,
about which there has bean a great deal of fuss made, bids
fair to realise the old adage, " the more haste the less speed."
As she has only jury topmasts, yards, &c., there was not
much to take credit for after all.
The Manceuvrer and Rochester lighters sailed to-day with
stores for Plymouth.
The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., is
" reported " ready for any service on Thursday next. With
all her sea stores on board, guns, water, three months' pro-
visions under :hatches for 320 men, and in every way
complete for sea service, including 700 tons of coals, the
lower sill of the first port abaft the beam on the main deck
is 8 feet 4 inches from the water, higher than any lower deck
ports of any line-of-battle ship in the service; higher by 2
feet 2 inches than the Terrible carries hers; and 2 feet 44
inches higher than the Retribution, according to the Govern-
ment document printed in May last.
WOOLWICH, MARcu 19.—Captain Hall arrived at Wool-
wich this morning to take charge of the Terrible steam-fri-
gate, under orders to proceed to Ireland with provisions.
The African steam-vessel towed the North Star, recently
paid off on her return from China, from Chatham to Wool-
wich on Wednesday, the latter vessel being intended for an
hospital-ship for convicts, to be moored opposite the Royal
Arsenal.

The Terpsichore steam-vessel was towed to Woolwich yes-
terday to be fitted for sea.
The Bloodhound steam-vesseel, Lieutenant-Commander
Phillips, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday to be refitted.
The Monkey and Myrtle steam-vessels arrived here on
Sunday from Portsmouth, where they were employed in
getting the Sphynx afloat from the place in which she had
got aground on the Isle of Wight.

CHATHAM, hlAacti Samarang, 26 guns, was put
out of dock on the 15th instant, and taken alongside the
cheer hulk, and had a new main and mizen masts put in
place; a❑d the riggers of the yard are proceeding rapidly
with the rigging, In order to be ready by the end of the
month.

The North Star, 26 guns, was taken into dock on the 15th,
and had her false keel repaired, the copper cleaned on her
bottom, and the defects made good, and was put out of dock
on the 16th, and towed to Woolwich by the Charon steam-
,ug, there to serve as a temporary hospital ship for sick con-
victs at that port.
"I he Cleopatra, 26 guns, Captain Christopher Wyvill, was
towed yesterday into harbour by the Wildfire, second master
Brockman. The Cleopatra is to be paid off without the
bulkheads or any of her internal fitments being removed.
The Arab, 16 guns, will be launched on the 31st instant
The paint, rs are now painting her.
The Antelope steam-packet, for the lonian Isles, pro-
ceeded o❑ an experimental trial yesterday. She left her
moorings at nine o'clock in the forenoon, having on board
Mr. Barley, the master-attendant of the dock-yard; Mr.
Lloyd, superintendent of steam machinery; Mr. -Penn, the
c.•nstructor of the engines; Mr. Lawrie, engineer of the
duct-hard; and Messrs. Moore and Lang, master ship-
wrights' assistants. The vessel proceeded as far as the
Sherr-light, and returned to her moorings again at four,
P.M.
The roofs of the second and third building slips in this
•• and are to be covered with galvanized zinc, instead of the
~,,,fing-paper with which they are now covered. The work-
men have commenced stripping the paper from the second
root, preparatory to putting on the zinc.
Two Artesian wells for the supply of water, as condensing
water for the engines of the new metal mills, are being bored
for by the contractors, Messrs. Clark, of Tottenham-court-
road ; one well is completed, at a depth of 126 feet below
the surface of the flooring, and receives a full supply of
water. When the two pumps, which are to be ten-inch, are
completed, the supply from both is expected to be 400 gallons
per minute.

A TROUBLESOME TENANT.--Yesterday, in the
Palace- court, a person named Curry was summoned at the
instance of his landlord, a carpenter, named Leatherdale,
under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why he refused
to obey an order for payment. The case was presented as
one of great hardship for the landlord, who could neither
get possesion of his premises or his rent. An action was
brought in the latter part of last year for a quarter's rent,
and in December an order of committal was made for forty
days tinder the Small Debts Act. The defendant was told
that he might have his discharge, and the rent would be
forgiven him, if he gave up the house. He remained in pri-
son forty days, and had been summoned a second time. The
same oiler was made and again refnsed. lie was now
sum-
moned for non-payment, and he was told on the presentldnot be
