PORTSUTH, .
The Sharpshooter steam-vessel, LieutenanTUESDAYt-Com-
manding J. C. Bailey, was docked this morning, to be
I repaired, without having been out of the harbour.
Wind, south; moderate breezes, and fine weather.
PLYMOUTH, MAY I.—Her Majesty's sloop Water-
witch, from Portsmouth, came in yesterday morning,
bound to the coast of Africa.
Lieutenant Cotton, R.N., and Captain Hunter, landed
yesterday afternoon from the ship Southampton, Captain
W. A. Bowen, from Calcutta, and proceeded with dis-
patches to London.
Thia morning the Southampton put in, being short of
provisions, and having experienced strong contrary
winds off the Start. IShe left Calcutta on the 6th of
January, and St. Helena the 17th of March, and has a
mail-bag from her Majesty's steam gun-vessel Wasp,
and several other packages from the coast of Africa, for
the Admiralty. At St. Helena, her Majesty's sloop
Wanderer, 12, Commander Frederick B. Montresor;
Bittern, 12, Commander Thomas Hope; and Contest,
12, Commander Archibald M`Murdo. ller Majesty's
sloop Cygnet, 8, Commander George Kenyon, had just
sailed for the coast of Africa.

WOOLWICH, MAY 2.—The Mary lighter arrived to-
day from Deptford with a cargo of provisions for the
Enterprise, Captain. Sir J. Clarke Ross, and the articles
were taken on board that vessel, consisting of a number
of cases of prepared potatoes, boiled mutton, pork, beef,
peas, and other preserved victuals, with a large supply of
flour, oatmeal, and biscuits. The quantities of provisions
taken on board the Enterprise and Investigator will
not only be amply sufficient for the officers and crews
of:these vessels, but they will also have plenty
to spare for the officers and crews of the Erebus
and Terror, should they be so fortunate as to meet with
any of the parties who proceeded to the Arctic regions
in those discovery vessels. Captain Sir J. Clarke Ross
is indefatigable in insuring that every preparation is
made for the comfort of his officers and crew, who are a
fine body of hardy men. The vessel has been greatly
strengthened by projecting timbers of considerable
thickness, gradually rising from below her water line,
and the interior has been fitted with pipes to circulate
hot water through all parts of the vessel. A roof similar
to the roof of a dwelling house is constructing at Black-
wall for each of the vessels, to be put up on deck betwixt
the masts in the event of having to winter in the Arctic
regions; and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
have afforded every facility for the comfort of every
person to be engaged in the expedition in search of Cap-
tai❑ Sir John Franklin and the officers and crews of the
Erebus and Terror.

The saw mills in Woolwich• dockyard are now in full
operation, and several of the former sawyers are now
employed at the mills, and sixteen employed as labourers
in the yard. Eight of the men longest in the service
have been superanuated on pensions according to length
of service. An experiment was tried last week to
ascertain the difference of time in which two bevelled
pieces of timber of the hardest kind for shipbuilding
purposes could be converted into their proper shapes; the
one by Mr. Cochrane's machine, and the other by the
sawyers in the usual manner. The result showed that
Mr. Cochrane's machine accomplished the task in a very
perfect manner in 27 minutes, and the sawyers accom-
plished theirs in one hour and 10 minutes, and made
very good work in so short a time as their task occupied.
The work in this department is greatly accelerated by a
number of convicts being employed to bring in and re-
move the timber.

THE STEAM-PACKET BANSHEE.
We stated that the new Holyhead steam-packet
Banshee had been attending on Admiral Dundas and Mr.
Ward during their official visit. This splendid steam-
vessel conveyed them, on Monday, the 24th ult., from
Liverpool to Kingstown in about eight hours. The
Gallant Admiral and Mr. Ward proceeded to Dublin the
same day, and remained there transacting official busi-
ness with the Lord-Lieutenant until the 27th, early in
the morning of which day they re-embarked at Kings-
town in the Banshee, and proceeded to Waterford.
Here they inspected the arrangements for the
packet service, and then continued en route to
Cork, and arrived at Cove on the 28th, where
they were received by the Rear-Admiral Commanding-
in-Chief the Honourable H. D. Mackay, and Rear-
Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., commanding the
Channel squadron. At Cove they visited the Crocodile,
22, flag-ship of the port-admiral, Lieut. Commander
Protheroe, on board of which vessel nearly 200 fine lads
are in course of training for the service. The boys were
exercised aloft as well as on deck, and displayed a great
de..l of smartness in all their movements. They also
visited the Canopus, 84, Capt. Moresby, C.B. ; the
Prince Regent, 90, Captain W. F. Martin ; and the St.
Vincent, 120, flag-ship of Sir C. Napier, and in the
afternoon of Saturday, after dining on board the St.
Vincent with the gallant Admiral, who invited Admiral
Mackay and the Captains of the squadron to meet them,
they took their departure in the Banshee, for Holyhead,
where they arrived on Sunday last, after a very rapid
uassage. They inspected the harbour and Admiralty
establishment at Holyhead, and returned thence to town
by railway on Monday. Both Admiral Dundas and
Nil% Ward have expressed themselves must highly satis-
fied with the performances of the Banshee. Nothing
could exceed the celerity, steadiness, and regularity with
which she made the passage from place to place, sur-
passing everything on the waters she traversed in easi•
neva as well as swiftness of motion.

The Admiralty are now, we are pleased to find, in
possession of the facts with respect to this vessel's caps-
hilities, and can duly estimate the value of the iinputa-
lions which the envious rivals of the designer and builder
of the Banshee have iacessantly cast upon her. It;
however, any member of the Board of Admiralty should
entertain the slightest doubt with reference to the com-
prative abilities of the ex-Surveyor and his professional
adviser, Mr. Edye, as against those men whom they
have for years traduced and kept down, let their Lord-
ships take a trip in the " Caradoc," Holyhead packet, as
soon as she is ready. It is, indeed, most inexplicable,
that, although in every case in which other builders have
been allowed to try under the most adverse circumstances
against the Navy Office, they have thoroughly beaten
Somerset House, yet the men and their system have up
to a very late period been most pertinaciously continued.
—Herald.
The Myrtle, steam-gun vessel, at Woolwich, has becn
reported ready for trial in the engineer department, and
a report has been called for as to the time of her com-
pletion.

The Jackal, iron-steamer, one of the " half-dozen," has
been found on examination at Portsmouth to be defec-
tive in the rivets of her bottom. The corrosion has
almost eaten the rivets away—a large number will have
to be removed and replaced by new ones. These defects,
it should be understood, has not arisen from bad work-
manship, but from the deterioration of the iron, which
Mr. Hay's composition now so successfully prevents.
There was no chance for this vessel. She was built for
a packet; but it was soon found that, although she had
150-horse power to 350 tons, she was useless for that
purpose. Sho was then called a "sun vesser—arma-
merit one gun, and was stationed in the Mediterranean to
protect British interests. Thus, from her inactivity, such
a mass of weeds, &e , accumulated on her bottom, that
when she was ordered awry it was with great difficulty
that she was enabled to move. But, at the best, her
speed WAS insufficient to keep the mud off her bottom.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—A special general court
of the governors and guardians of this extensive charity
was held on Monday, at the premises of the corporation,
Crane-court, Fleet-street, the Marquis of Breadalbane
presiding. The subject under consideration was the
confirmation of the minutes of the various courts of
directors held subsequently to the last general meeting.
A report, brought up by a sub-committee " to inquire
into the management and arrangement of the institu-
tion," and which recommended a radical change in the
s:ystem of government pursued in the asylum, was, atter
an animated discussion, adopted, subject, however, to
certain alterations introduced by the court of directors.
FALMOUTH, MAY L—.Arrd. William Metcalfe, Clark,
Manzauilla

nating the Bishop of Hereford as visitor of the college,
because it in some measure trenched on the authority of
the jurisdiction exercised by the Crown, and was, at
any rate, quite unnecessary.
At the conclusion of the arguments yesterday, the
Lord Chancellor declined sending the matter back to the
Master, and stated that he would give judgment on the
whole case this morning.
The LORD CHANCEL:MR, on taking his seat this morn •
ing, proceeded to give his judgment in part upon the
case. With regard to the question of trust, it was
clear that neither the Master or himself had any autho-
rity to do what the Master proposed, and therefore that
part could - not stand. As to the question whether,
under the Municipal Corporation Act, the trus-
teeship of the patronage as well as the
property, was given to the new trustees,
he had not sufficiently studied the Act and the autho-
rities upon the subject to decide, and therefore that
point must be reserved for further consideration.
There could, however, be no doubt that under
the municipal Act the Corporation of Ludlow
were divested of all power. With regard to
the exhibitions, it was certainly important that
there should be on: ,ach year, but as it was desirable
that the expense should be reduced his Lordship
thought it would be best to have three in-
stead of four. As to the subject of head money,
his Lordship did not at all approve of the way in
which that matter stood at present. He thought
the amount in that respect ought to be reduced
from 41. to 31. Then, with respect to the emolument
of the officers. The usher and assistant as they at
present stood had 1001. each his Lordship would be glad
to see both their salaries increased, but he was afraid
that such an increase would be too much for the funds
of that charity. He thought 2001. too much for the
assistants, and he should, if the funds would allow, make
them 1501. each.

The SOLICITOR- GENERAL said, that if one exhibitioner
was struck off, and the usher and assistant were put
down at 1501. eaeh, that would leave a surplus of 1491.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that it' that
was the case, be would make the order that the
salaries of both those officers should be 1501., and
that, he believed, would dispose of all the
points raised by the Attorney-General and the
Corporation. His Lordship after giving some farther
directions with respect to the costs of the petition of the
master, and as to the boarders being eligible to the exhi-
bitions, directed the matter to stand over for a week.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
fizziASION-DOUSE.

Messrs. Byres and Liddle, surgeons to the parish,
corroborated the preceding evidence, and added, that on
again visiting the premises on Friday last, although the
offensive effluvia was considerably abated, owing to the
place having been saturated with lime, it still continued
to a most detrimental extent, and they n.;ticed, on that
occasion, in addition to the bones, a large quantity of
tallow, the odour of which cleqrly indicated that it was
the produce of animal matter in a state of putrescence.
Mr. Liddle further stated, that he felt very ill for some
time after he had visited the premises, and expressed a
decided opinion that the effect of such noxious exha-
lations was highly prejudicial to the health of the in-
mates of the workhouses, both of which were situated
within a short distance of the defendant's premises,
and also to the general health of the locality, in which
it was proved that the mortality was greater, with
only one exception, than in any other district in the
metropolis.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said that it was
impossible for any one to exert themselves more
anxiously than he did to conduct their business in
the least offensive manner possible, to accomplish
which he had a fresh supply of bones, every day, and
that the medical witnesses were entirely erroneous in
their conclusion that any matter of a putrescent charac-
ter was allowed to accumulate upon his premises.
Mr. HAMMILL considered the medical evidence in sup-
port of the charge was entirely conclusive as to the exis•
tence of the nuisance, and he should therefore order its
absolute removal within the period of the Act, namely,
two days, and also adjujo the defendant to pay the costs
of the prosecution.

CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.
Yesterday the Commissioners assembled in the Guild-
hall, Deputy Peacock in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court to
the correspondence which had taken place upon the sub-
je2t of the pamphlet referred to on the last day of meet
ing, purporting to be evidence given before the Sanitary
Commissioners, and grossly misrepresenting, as the Cit)
Commissioners of sewers insisted in declaring, the whole
of the conduct of the commission, and the motives by
which they were influenced, in establishing sewers
through the City, as well as the adaptation of the works
to the proposed end. The correspondence originated in
a demand, preferred on the part of the City Commis-
sioners of Sewers, to the Health of Towns Association,
for the names of certain persons, on whose evidence this
body has recently published, in a pamphlet, statements
considered highly injurious to the corporation of Lon-
don. For example, assertions that the sewers of London
may be considered mischievous rather than otherwise—
that there was no one in the City whom the citizens
would trust with the expenditure of their money upon
sanitary works ; that there was no authority which would
nut convert its opportunity of making an outlay for such
purposes into a means of most corrupt jobbing.
Lord Ashley, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Alderman Sa-
lemons, who had been applied to as members of the
Health of Towns Association, state in their answer to
the City Remembrancer their anxiety that any mis-
statements which had been made should be immediately
contradicted, and Alderman Salomons, in writing to the
secretary of the association, states that in the pamphlet
several palpable omissions do occur in reference to the
works performed by the city of London, and demands a
confirmation of the statements made or a retractation.
The answer from the secretary, dated the 27th of April,
is to the effect that the application made by the City
Remembrancer is under consideration, and that the as•
sociation have no doubt that the charges of misrepresen-
tation will shortly be fairly answered. A former reply
on the part of the association having, however, stated
that application had been made to the gentleman who
had made Lhe statements complained of to know whether
he was willing to avow them, without which sanction
the association did not feel at liberty to e•ive up the name,
and no further communication having been made on this
point,
The correspondence was ordered to be entered upon
the journal, after a speech of considerable length,
thoroughly condemnatory of the proceedings of the Go-
vernment with regard to the sanitary regulations, from
Alderman Lawrence.
The Court then adjoureed.

77 sol. 79 parts. The private mints had produced 101
pods. 241bs. I sol. 76 parts. The quantity of piatina
obtained from the Crown properties and from private
mines had been 181bs. 92 sol. 17 parts. The royal and
private mines in the Altai Mountains, and in East and
West Siberia had produced, in 1847, 1,434 pods. 121hs.
57 sol. of gold; and the district of Nertschinskinche
25 puds., making a total of 1,780 puds. 371bs. 69 sol. for
the year 1847, independently of the silver obtained
from the Altai Mountains and Nertschinskinche, which
amounted altogether to 168 puds. 251bs. more than in
1546.

MELANCROLY SUICIDE OF A FEMALE.—An inquest
was held yesterday by Mr. Carter, at the Hero of
Waterloo, Waterloo-road, as to the death of Mrs. Mary
Roberts, aged thirty-seven. It appeared that the de-
ceased lived at 3, Sutton-street, York-road, where she
carried on business as a dressmaker. She had been in a
very low state of mind lately, in consequence of being
much in arrears for her rent, and not being able to
collect the debts owing to her. She left home on Thurs-
day, and was not seen again until she was observed
early on Friday morning to go down the steps at West-
minster-bridge and precipitate herself into the river. A
waterman of the name of Phelps got her out in about
ten minutes, and she was conveyed to a surgeon's, but it
was too late ; she almost instantly expired. It is be-
lieved if she had been taken to the hospital or baths she
would have been saved. Verdict " Died from the im•

William Isaac Bowden, was brought before Mr. Alder-
man Gibbs, upon the charge of having embezzled seve-
ral sums of money, the property of his employer.
William Byrne, whalebone manufacturer, at 12,
Haberdasher-square, Milton-street, stated that on the
4th of March he paid the prisoner 11/. Bs., on account of
his master, Mr. Myers, and the prisoner signed a receipt
for that amount in his presence. On the Bth of April
witness paid the prisoner 171. 25., and on the 15th of
April he paid the prisoner 71. 2s. 6d., and on the Ist of
May 51., all on account of Mr. Myers.
John Drave, combmaker, of the Minories, stated that
on the 25th of March he paid the prisoner 11. 18s. 6d., in
discharge of two accounts produced, for goods which he
had purchased of Mr. Myers.
Lawrence Myers, of 83, Leadenhall-street, whalebone-
manufacturer, said--The prisoner has been in my service
as a clerk between three and four years. In March and
Apiil last I had sold goods to the witnesses who have
given their evidence, and the prisoner was directed to
apply for payment. It was his duty, upon receiving any
money, to give it to me, or my son, or nephew, and then
I made entry of it in the cash-book, from which it was
the duty of the prisoner to post it in the ledger. He
has not accounted to me, nor is there any entry in the
cash-book or ledger of the above sum, as deposed to by
Mr. Byrne; but on the 12th of April he accounted to
me for the sum of 5/., as received of Mr. Byrne. On
the Ist cf May I had some conversation with Mr. '
Williams, in the presence of the prisoner, as to Mr.
Byrne's account, and directed that an account of it
should be sent in to Mr. Byrne, and the prisoner said he
had just come from Mr. Byrne's, and had received 51.,
which he handed to me. Subsequently the prisoner wished
to see me privately, and he sAd he had done wrong. I
said I suppose you have been robbing me, and I told him
to go to his father, but he would not, and I sent for his
father. By the ledger there appears to be due from Mr.
Byrne about 53/. The prisoner has not accounted to
me for the sum received from Mr. Drove on the 25th of
March.

James Williams, in the service of Mr. Myers, said he
made out yesterday the account of the money owing by
Mr. Byrne, and took it from the warehouse for the pur-
pose of delivering it to that gentleman. On his way he
was overtaken by the prisoner, who said, " Oh, for God's
sake, don't take that to Byrne's 1" I asked him for
what reason. He said, " Well, pray don't take it till
night, as I have been doing wrong ;" and I said. I sup-
pose you have been receiving money, end not accounting
for it. He said he had. I said what amount does Mr.
Byrne owe ? He said about 19/. or 20/. ; and I said you
had better go back with me, and explain to Mr. Myers
the whole affair. We then went back.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
IVORSMP-STREET.
Mr. John Smith, a bone. boiler in Thomas-street,
Whitechapel, appeared upon a summons, before Mr.
Hammill, charged with having suffered a quantity of
noxious matter to accumulate upon his premises, which
was calculated to be seriously detrimental to the health
of the surrounding neighbourhood.
The Solicitor to the London Hospital, who was ac-
companied by the principal medical officers of that
institution, and the surgeons attached to the Whitechapel
Union, attended to support the prosecution.
Mr. S. J. Birch, one of the medical attendants at the
London Hospital, stated that he proceeded on the 18th
ult. to inspect the defendant's premises, where he found
a large quantity of bones heaped together, to the amount
of about two cart loads, within an open shed, situate
about 150 yards from the hospital. A portion of the
accumulation appeared to have undergone the process of
boiling, but he also observed some smaller heaps of bones
with putrescent animal matter adhering to them in a
raw state, and emicting a most offensive effluvium, which
he considered highly prejudicial to the patients at the
hospital and the inhabitants of the densely populated
streets in the immediate locality, The existence of such
impurities had a tendency to produce the disease called
hospital gangrene, erysipelas, and other dangerous ma-
ladies, and generally to retard the recovery of patients
suffering under the complaints of every description. He
considered the process of boiling the bones to be less
noxious than their subsequent accumulation, but both
practices were decidedly pernicious, and evolved injurious
gases which impregnated the atmosphere to the distance
of at least 300 yards.

FULLER AND MO UNTJOY'S FORTY-MILE
MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.
Few pedestrian contests have of late excited more ge-
neral interest, both on account of the men engaged, and
the conditions of the competition, than the forty-wile
match between the ancient antagonists whose names head
this report.
The meeting on Monday, was fixed on the turnpike'

At a few minutes before twelve o'clock,
lively Bob Fuller appeared at the scratch, with his more
saturnine and shorter opponent. The contrast

slightly inclined to one side and forward, seemed ready
to " slouch" off in his peculiar style, while Bob, erect as
