WOOLWICH-SATURDAY.

The Right Hon. the Earl of Ellenborough, First Lord of
the Admiralty ; Rear-Admiral William Bowles, C. 8.; Cap.
tain the Hon. Henry John Rous, Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, and the Right Hon. Henry Thomas Lowry Corry,
first Secretary to the Admiralty, visited Woolwich Dockyard
this afternoon. Their Lordships arrived at half-past two
o'clock, in a carriage with four horses, and on alighting were
received by Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C. 8.,
Captain Washington, of the Porcupine steam-vessel, Corn.
mander the Hon. R. Gore, at present on a visit to the Cap-
tain-Superintendent, Commander Smith of the William and
Mary yacht, Commander E. Crouch, of the Devastation
steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander J. A. Dennis, of the
Myrmidon steam-vessel; Mr. Nicholas Tinmouth, master
attendant ; Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright; Mr. Wil-
liam Jenkins, storekeeper; Mr. P. L. Mouchet, store receiver
Mr. Thomas Lloyd, chief engineer; Mr. Reid, assistant to
the master shipwright; and Mr. Andrew Murray, assistant
to the chief engineer. Captain Brandreth, Royal Engineers,
and director, of engineering and architectural works, arrived
about the same time as their Lordships, and accompanied
them during their visit.
The Earl of Ellenborough proceeded with Commodore Sir
Francis A. Collier and the naval officers and authorities of
the dockyard to the slip on which the Royal Albert, of
120 guns, is in progress of construction, and went under
this magnificent vessel, of 700 tons greater burden than any
other vessel ever built for the royal navy; and his Lordship\
appeared greatly pleased with the strong and substantial
manner in which the massive timbers were put together.
Mr. Lang, master shipwright, attended the Earl of Ellen
borough under and over the whole of the interior of the
Royal Albert, and explained the principles on which she is
constructing, and entered into many details in answer to the
numerous inquiries made by his Lordship. After leaving the
Royal Albert, the Earl of Ellenborough went on board the
Devastation, and was conducted over the vessel by Com-
mander Crouch, Lieutenant W. Peel, and the other
officers present. His Lordship then proceeded to the
Terrible steam-frigate, and was received on board by
Captain Ramsay and the officers of that vessel. The Earl
of Ellenborough went over the whole of the vessel, and -
witnessed the mode of working her stern guns, 56-
pounders, Monk's pattern, mounted on traversing car-
riages. His Lordship was very minute in his inquiries of
Captain Ramsay, and appeared to take a great interest in
ascertaining every particular, and the objects to be attained
by the plans brought under his notice. His Lordship, on
proceeding below, witnessed the brass sections of circles
placed on the floor of the captain's cabin for working the
traversing platforms of large guns, similar to those on the
upper deck, and was shown the mode in which the
parts which formed the cabin were removed when preparing

horse power, fitted by Maudslay, Sons, and Field, on the
double cylinder principle. His Lordship afterwards pro-
ceeded along the lower deck to the fore part of the vessel,
and witnessed the manner in which the large guns were run
out at the bows, and left the Terrible, after rmaining nearly
an hour on board. The Earl of Ellenborough went round
the basin, and entered the factory, attended by Mr. Lloyd,
but passed quietly through, without minutely inspecting the
machinery. On arriving sat the east end of the Dockyard,
his Lordship visited the Niger steam-sloop, iu progress of
construction, and Mr. Laing explained the principles en
which she is being built. The ne.,:r dock constructing, ad-
joining the blacksmith's shop, and new saw mills were next
vieitel, and Captain Braedrah explained the particulars and
uses fur which they are intended. The slip, with the new
corrugated iron roof; was alss inspected, and the whole of
the works appeared to meet with his Lordship's approbation.
The convict-ship being stationed adjoining to the slip at the
east end of the yard, attracted the attention of the Earl cf
Ellenborongla and his Lordship went on hoard with Commo •
dose Sir Francis A. Collier, and was conducted over the ship
by Mr. Masterman, who has the charge of the convicts. his
Lordship then returned to the ounces in front of the entrance
of the Dockyard, and entered the carriage with Rear-Ad-
miral Bowles and Captain the Hon. 11. J. Roue, and left fir
London at half-past four o'clock p.m., evidently much grati-
fied by his visit.

A pod-natured man, the other day, stepped into a
newspaper office, and proposed to advertise his wares, if they
would take coffins fur pay. American paper.
At tho. Greenwich Police-court, on Friday, a woman
named Sarah Elizabeth Avery was committed for trial, charged with
having stabbed her husband in the breast with a table knife, because

THE OREGON QUESTION.
(From the Timer.)
In the way of concession and of argument on the Oregon
question, little now remains to be said or done by the British
Government. The strongest desire has been repeatedly ex-
pressed on our side to terminate this controversy. Our case
has been stated with such moderation, and our claims con-
fined to such narrow limits, that nothing but extreme pre-
sumption, or rather a species of hostile infatuation, on the
part of the American Democrats, could lead them to suppose
we should make .any further abatement of our rights. We
are in actual possession of rather more of the Oregon terri-
tory than we have ever claimed as our own, because as long
as the joint occupation lasts the concurrent rights of both
parties extend over the whole country. We have at our dis-
posal ample means of defending our rights. We had never,
at any period in the history of this country, less reason to
recoil from a war, or to fear the result of a contest with any
power, but more especially with the United States. 'Yet we,
on our side, have strenuously and sincerely laboured to effect
a compromise. We have not alluded to the superiority of
our maritime strength; from a misplaced respect fir the
American Government, no use has been made of those
blunt arguments to which alone they now appear
to be accessible ; until at length we learn with
more contempt than surprise, that Mr. Polk and
his advisers are embarking in a course which can only
lead, if they are allowed to persevere in it, to aggressive
hostilities. In our zeal for the maintenance of peace, and
our deference for a nation with which we have so much in
common, we have gone so far as to admit that their claim to
the Oregon territory is equal to our own, and to argue that a
partition is the fairest rolution of the difficulty. The Ameri-
cans, however, are not to be satisfied until they convert this
concession of a part into a surrender of the whole. Their
claim is, to say the most of it, not better than our own, since
they themselves do not dare to submit to the arbitration of
a third party, knowing that the public opinion of the world
has already pronounced against it. Yet from this most im-
perfect and controvertible claim they seek to extract twice
as much as we contend for—nay, they raise their own pre-
tensions to absolute and total sovereignty, whilst they alto-
gether annihilate the rights we have practically enjoyed for
more than half a century. Thus, in fact, the question in dis•
puce has never been brought to a true issue. The two quan-
tities have not been reduced to a common denomination;
they differ ire their very nature ; and whilst our position
not only admits of a compromise, but suggests and re-
quires it, theirs is utterly at variance with the first prin-
ciple of such an arrangement. Mr. Buchanan's last note
says too much, unless indeed it says inadvertently what is
the truth; for the arguments by which he endeavours to
show that the United States cannot submit theiiclaim to
arbitration, are equally cogent to prove that their claim will
not admit even of negotiation. Mr. Buchanan appears to
forget that the United States have negotiated ; that he him-
self, by his last proposal, for the fourth or fifth time conceded
that point; that the House of Representatives, by their
second resolution, have in fact sanctioned the principle of
negotiation, which is, in other words, the principle of mutual
concessions. ~ When the American Secretary of State sayshe
cannot do what the manifest interest and dignity of the two
countries require, he must either mean that the Government
to which he belongs will not do it, or that the Government
is acting under the compulsion of the party, excited to
madness on this question, which carried Mr. Polk's elec-
tion. The practical question for us is to ascertain
the intentions of the American Government. If Mr.
Polk and his advisers are sincerely pacific, they can-
not but succeed: there is no obstacle, no impediment,
no difficulty in the way, except those which they have them-
selves created. To bring about a war with us under such
circumstances, they must be the worst statesmen in the
world if they do not seek it, or the most rash and unprinci-
pled if they deliberately intskd it. The time is, however,
come when we are forced to Faige of their real motives by
their conduct; and, as they have not encouraged further ar-
gument, it may not be premature to inquire into the amount
of their forces. We are informed by the prodigious volume
of American statistics recently prepared for both Houses of
Parliament by the diligence of Mr. Macgregor, that the
standing army of the United States consists of one regiment
of dragoons, one regiment of riflemen, four companies of artil-
lery, and eight regiments of infantry. The whole number
of troops now in the service is 9,847, exclusive of 781 cons.
missioned officers. An Act of Congress of 1842 reduced the
rank and file of the army 3,920 men ; this reduction is now
proceeding, and when it is'completed the standing army will
consist of 7,590 non-commissioned officers, musicians; artificers,
and privates. It is true, that if this corps should appear
rather small for the defence of the United States, and the in-
vasion of a region situated two thousand miles off, on the
other side of the American continent, the militia force of the
United States might, by its numbers at least, have excited
the envy of Xerxes or Bonaparte. The Army Register for
1833 contains the appalling announcement, that this multi-
tudinous host is commanded by 627 generals, 2,670 general
staff officers, 13,813 field officers, 44,938 company officers,
being in all 62,205 officers; nor are these numbers at all ex-
cessive, when we learn that the forces
sunder their command
consist of 1,385,645 men ! For the purposes of defence
against a foreign invasion we have no doubt that these Ame-
rican citizens would exert themselves creditably. A. con-
siderable number of the younger men may even volunteer to
take a part in offensive operations. But we have no hesita-
tion in saying that to bring an efficient army of even 30,000
men into the field, prepared to march beyond their own fron-
tiers, is the most arduous task which has ever de-
volved upon the federal Government of the United
States, and with its present powers and resources
we believe it to be absolutely impracticable. The
navy of .the United States consists of eleven ships
of the line, two of which are afloat, three are receiving
ships, and six on the stocks or under repairs. The 14 first-
class frigates of 44 guns are the best part of the fleet ; of
these four are on the stocks and three in ordinary. The two
36-gun frigates are old. The smaller vessels are 17 sloops
of war, 8 brigs, 9 schooners, and 6 steamers. The navy list
contains 67 captains, 94 commanders, 324 lieutenants, and
133 passed midshipmen, 410 midshipmen, and 31 masters.
No estimate can be formed of the real strength of the crews
of the American navy, because it is well known that a con-
siderable proportion of this fleet is manned by British seamen,
who are attracted by the high pay of the American navy in
time of peace. But that very circumstance shows the ex-
treme difficulty of manning an American fleet in war, and
especially in a war with England. Their ships are, in fact,
worked to a great extent by English mercenaries, a large
proportion of whom would unquestionably return to their
own colours on the outbreak of hostilities. We content our-
selves with this simple enumeration of the forces of the
United States by land and by stn, which we hope is correct.
We know not what course Mr. Polk may intend to pursue
after the notice for the abrogation of the treaty of joint
occupation has been duly given ; and we shall await
with more curiosity than alarm the enterprises which may
be projected for the purpose of expelling British subjects
from a district where we happen to command the coat and
the interior, the Indians and the forts. The world is per-
fectly aware that England is not the attacking party, and
that we are content to leave matters in Oregon as they now
are. If the Americans mean anything, they mean to dis-
posses us of what we hold. At the same time, if this inten-
tion be avowed by the Cabinet of Washington, or if it be dis-
closed by votes of money and warlike preparations which im-
ply a fixed determination to engage in this absurd and flagi-
tious contest, ne state is bound to wait to be attacked. Mr.
Polk has already instructed the American Minister in London
to ask for an explanation of the activity in our dockyards.
His own conscience might have given it to him; his own
language has put us upon the defensive: and although the
termination of the convention of 1827 by notice is no easus
belli, yet the disposition indicated by that notice, and the
means which may /be taken to carry that disposition into
effect, may hereafter furnish ample grounds of suspicion, of
remonstrance, and finally of hostilities. A bold and manly
course on the part of the British Government will probably
not be without a good effect in the United States; and it
will undoubtedly command the unanimous support of the
people of England.

THE BASILIAN NUNS OF MINSK.
The following note has been presented to the Pope by M.
de Boutenieff, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo.
tentiary of Russia at the Court of Rome :
" A polish journal published at Paris, under the title of
The Third of May, has disseminated the strangest narratives
relative to certain persecutions which the Archbishop of
Lithuania, Joseph Siemaszko, designated as having formerly.
tilled the office of confessor in the convent of the Basilian'.
Nuns at Kowno, is alleged to have instituted.against the-
women, in order to force them to embrace -the Greek reli-"
gion. :According to this journal, the nuns in question, to:
the number of forty-seven were seized in the night time by
Cossacks; forced to walk to Witepsk (a town which, it is'
protended is twenty miles from Kowno); shut up in an or-
thodox convent, and reduced to act as servants to the Rus-:
sian nuns, who every Friday administered to each fifty blows
of a cane. It is next declared that the Archbishop threw them:
into irons, condemning them to such hard labour as is as--
signed to felons; that they were made to sutler hunger and
thirst, and, to render the privation of drink more severe, they
were fed on salt herrings. It is added that some were obliged
to take part in the construction of the episcopal palace, often
remaining in the water up to their necks; that others were:
employed in the mines; that eight had their eyes forced out;,
that thirty tell victims to this odious persecution, and that,
only three had succeeded in effecting their escape into.
Austria; as to the superior, she had arrived in Paris. These
calumnies were eagerly reproduced in the Univers, and in.
most of the French jouenale, they are represented as bagel-
on the depositions of the superior, who figures in the matter'
under the name ef Mieczyslawska. In the recitals of this
woman, the number of nuns is no longer confined to 47, they
are at once quintupled, reaching the number of 240, of whom
120 are stated to have been exiled to Siberia : out of that •
number upwards of one-half are alleged to have miserably.
perished on the road, and the rest are represented as about.
in all probability to speedily share the same fate. The,
names of Wawrzecha, Konarska, and Pomawnocka, are those
by which the three nuns who took refuge in Austria are
designated. It is also stated, that 346 monks of the order
of St. Basil were likewise exiled to Siberia; that three of
their heads, named Berinski, Zilinski, and Yeleniez, expired.
at Polotzk under the torture that they were forced to •
enduse, from iced water being poured on their bodies,
and that the fourth, named Zaniecki, was killed with a
blow of a hatchet. Finally, it is pretended, that all the
populations of these countries are, without ceasing, cruelly
beaten and exposed to all kinds of atrocities; that even chil-
dren are not spared, and that 17 of these latter were whipped.
to death in the town of Minsk. In dilating on this theme,
the periodical prints have been careful to add other dia-
tribes, and, as a wind-up, state that the soi-disant Mieczvs-
lawska, to whom all these recitals are attributed, has' pro-
ceeded to Marseilles and thence to Rome, receiving on her
passage the livliest marks of sympathy, and a large amount of
money in alms. Without entering into any discussion on
the subject of these assertions, which are as absurd as they
are malevolent, it is intended in the present note to point
out what, from the nature of things, is necessarily falte in
the alleged facts. First of all, in order that a persecution
could be instituted against the convent of Basilian nuns at
Kowno, it would be requisite :that such a convent should
exist; and in this respect, the authors of the imposture
ought to have taken the pains of obtaining some information.
But it is certain that no convent of Basilian nuns ever did
exist in the town of Kowno, nor in the whole extent of the
province of that name. The present Bishop of Lithuania,
-Joseph Siemaszko, has never bees confessor of any con-
vent of Basilian nuns. No prelate in Russia, whatever
may be his grade in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, has Cos-
sacks at his order or dispocal. Kowno happens not to be
twenty miles from Witepek, but doable that distance,
about 300 verstes. No Brazilian nun has been transferred to
a Russian monastery ; they have all remained in their own
convents, except such as, having a desire to go and live with
their relations of the Roman Catholic religion, obtained per-
mission from the Archbishop alluded to above. Undoubtedly
if this prelate had to upbraid himself with such revolting
conduct as that imputed to him, he would not now have con-
sented to this last-named arrangement, 3,t hich offered his
victims so much facility for spreading through the country
their accusations and their complaints. The means of exist-
eece of the Basilian nuns have not been reduced, but, on the
contrary. have been augmented by new grants which con-
vents of this order have of late years been accorded is Rus-
sia. The Archbishop of Lithuania, Joseph Siemaszko, has
never exercised any authority over the convents in Witepsk
and Polotzk, inasmuch as they belong to another diocese.
Throughout the whole extent of the empire of Russia the
criminal jurisdiction and the infliction of corporal punish-
ment fell to the lot, not of the ecclesiastical authorities, but
exclusively of the secular power. Never are women em-
ployed in Russia in works relating to building, and never
has t the Archbishop, Joseph Siemaszko, erected a palace.
He, for the most part, lives at St. Petersburgh, and pos-
sesses no house of his own. The archiepiscopal palace at
Wilna, destined to his use, was purchased by the Crown in
1843 from Count Mostowski, marshal of the nobility of that
Government. No person in modern times has ever heard of
any criminal whatever, and still less of any poor women,
being forced to undergo the torture of hunger and thirst ;
of their bring wetted with iced water, or plunged into it ; or
of having their eyes put out. There are no minesin Russia,
except in Siberia and in the Government of Olodetz. No
Basilian could have been employed in the mines, inasmuch
as none were transported from the western provinces of the
empire, where there are no mines. Previously to 1839 there
were in Russia nine convents of Basilian nuns, inhabited not
by 240 women, but by only 55, of whom 35 belonged to the
diocese of Lithuania. No one of these ever fled from the
cloister, and no mention has been as yet made in any report
of any one of those who went to live with their relations
having fled to a foreign country. It is an indisputable fact
that in Russia there have never been Basilian nuns known
by the names of Miecyzslawska, Wawrzecha, Konarska, and
Pomawnocka, attributed by the periodical press to these
pretended martyrs. It is also a fact, that no monk has been
transported to Siberia from the number of the Basilians. It
is certain, that in the Basilian monasteries of the empire
there never have been either superiors or simple monks of
the names of Brinski, Zilinski, Zeleniez, or Zaneicki, who
are alleged to have expired in horrible tortures. Before
1839 there were in Russia fourteen Baziliau monasteries, con-
taining 267 monks, arid not 347, as the journals allege, and.
in the diocese of Lithuania there were only 165 monks of
this order. It would be superfluous to carry further thus
examination of the other erroneous assertions propagated on
this occarian by the periodical press. The facts which have
been just cited are sufficient to assign to them their real
value, and to show what credit ought to be attached to Op
existence of the 47 martyrs, who obtained in the church or
St. Roch the honour of funeral service, celebrated with sib
much solemnity. As to the pretended Abbess Mieczyslawe
ska, the Russian Government ie completely ignorant of whe
she is. It belongs to the authorities of the countra, where
she happens to be to discover who and what she is, in order
to unmask those odious manoeuvres conceived inhatred of
Russia, as well as to lay bare an imposture, carried on with a
view to excite the sympathy of the compassionate, and to draiv
front them important sums of money as alms. The Impe-
rial Government, notwithstanding the censorship to which
it subjects foreign journals, has authorised the free circula-
tion of the articles in question throughout the whole extent
of Russia, without excepting the provinces that are said to
have served as the theatre of the persecutions in question.
The inhabitants of these countries, ocular witnesses of whaa
has passed there, will thus be able to appreciate at their just
value the errors, at the same time clumsy and calumnious,
which are published in other kingdoms on the internal state
of their country."

WILFUL MURDER AT NEWARK.
On the morning of the 4th inst. the body of a young gigl
was found in the canal adjoining the river Trent, close to fife
lock-gates in this town, and owing to the manner in which
the head was found, enveloped in a shawl, suspicion was
raised that the deceased had fallen the victim of violence.
The same evening an inquest was held before T. F. A Bur-
naby, Esq., which continued by adjournment till Friday
afternoon, at a qnarter before four o'clock, when a verdict of
"wilful murder" was returned against two individuals, who
had been arrested on suspicion. The following evidence was
produced before the jury.—
Samuel Hibbert, who resides at the lock-house, near the
lock, in the Newark branch of the river Trent navigation, at
half-past six o'clock on the morning in question discovered
and dragged out of the water the body of a young girl, having
a bonnet and shawl upon her head ; the shawl appeared
wrapped very tight round her neck; he believed three or
four times. While in bed on the previous night, and a little
after eleven o'clock, he heard a noise, apparently of persons
running over the lock-gates, and he was confident he heard
a woman's voice. lie looked out ,of his window, but not see-
ing any one he returned to bed. In five minutes he got up
again, and on opening the window he distinctly saw a man
named William Homer run across the lock gates and up a
passage, which leads into the town streets. He appeared
hurried and confused, and shouted, "-- look sharp."
All was then quiet.
The Coroner having caused Horner, a young man of very
irregular habits, to be apprehended, he was brought before

and had witnesses to prove the truth of this assertion. He
did not know that he had ever seen the deceased in his life.
Charles Percy Croft, surgeon, stated that he had assisted
in a post mortem examination of? the body, and he was quite
convinced that the deceased had died from drowning, and she
had struggled after being in the water. He did not observe
any recent marks of violence.

Ann Clarke said that Horner had lodged at her house
nearly a fortnight. She went to bed about eleven o'clock
on tho night in question, and Horner had not then come
home.

Jane Greaves said she had lived in the same house with
the deceased, and on Tuesday evening they went out to-
gether. Deceased was in excellent spirits. They met a
man in Stodman-street, about half-past ten o'clock, who
stopped and spoke to them. He was a short man, dressed
in dark trousers, and a short coat. Deceased went with him,
and witness never saw her again. •
The prisoner Horner here read a statement, materially
varying from his former assertion. He acknowledged hat •
ing known the deceased, and that he met her on the night
of her death, but accused a companion, a young loan of the
name of Heselby, of having pushed the deceased into the
canal.

In consequence of this statement u warrant was issued for
the apprehension of Heselby, who is about seventeen years
cf age, and had lived as boots at the Swan and Salmon
in Newark about six months, but had been discharged on the
day previous.

youth was apprehended, and the investigation was
proceeded with in the presence of the two prisoners.
Robert Dale, policeman, of Newark, who apprehended
Heselby, said that he slept in the samo roots with him
(Heselby) on Thursday night, when the prisoner appeared
very restless, and frequently talked in his sleep. Amolig
other things he said, " You know,'Bill, you threw her in the
water." Witness called to him, and told hire he was talkhng
in his sleep. Spoke to him more than once before ha awoke

William Pegmoro, labourer, of Newark, saw the body taken
out of the water, and spoke to the shawl being twisted two
or three times round the head and neck. _ _ :

The prisoner Hescli)y, after, being cautioned in the usual
way, said he was innocent, hit that he and Horner were to-
gether at the Coach and Horses public-house on, Tuesday
