N AVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

TIIIIRSDAI.—The A EL X steam-block-
ship was under the necessity of anchoring at Spithead
last night, the Chic being too low to get her into harbour
by the tine she was got to the Spit buoy. She was
towed in this morning by the Echo steam-tug.
Very considerable progress has been made in stripping
the Grampus and landing her stores, her officers very
properly taking advantage of her lying alongside the
jetty to discharge her specie to effect the other purpose.
She is stripped to her lower masts, and Ell her yards
landed, except the fore and main
,yards, which are re-
gain d for clearing her hold.
The Belleropht.n, 78, Captain R. L. Baynes, C. 8., is
to be paid wages en Monday next, and sail the following
Wednesday.
The freight brought by the Grampus amounts to
2,638,656 dollars, and will be conveyed by Messrs.
Casher, the agents, to the Bank of England to-morrow,
in a special train on the South Coast Railway, in charge
of Mr. Superintendent Sutton and special guards, leav-
ing the Landport terminus about four A.I. for London-
bridge.

Wind, N.N.W., moderate breezes and:hazy.
FRIDAY.—The Grampus, 50, Captain 11. B. Martin,
is nearly stripped and ready for paying off. Her freight
amounted to 73 tons 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 14 lb. of silver, which
was taken up by a special train from Landport, in charge
of Messrs. Casher, the agents, and Mr. Superintendent
Sutton, this morning to London-bridge, and thence by
waggons to the Bank of England. It was in excellent
condition and admirably packed. By this frigate's pay-
ing off, 500 more will be added to the thousands of good
seamen now out of employ by the late reductions of the
naval force.

The Ajax did very well while she lasted, en Wednes-
day; she steered very easily, and did not fill her well
with water. She will be ready for another trial in a
fortnight.
The Blenheim steam•guard-ship has returned to the
command of Captain lloratio Austin, C. 8., and will be
decked in a day or two, to have her propeller bearings
examined.

The Fairy, steam- tender to the Royal yacht,was placed
in the steam-basin to day to have a thorough overhaul-
ing and repair of her engines. It is understood that it

resq, was removed from the steam-basin to-day, and will
leave to-morrow or Monday for Jersey, to resume her
duties in the protection of the oyster fishery.

are general service volunteers from Devonport, and are
expected to arrive there this morning. She has been
partially rigged by the seamen-riggers of the yard, so
that she will be ready for sea by the 30th, and will take
the mail, on the Ist proximo, to the coast of Africa.
The Swift, 6, packet-brig, has been taken out of dock
at Davenport.
The Encounter, screw-sloop, has been rigged, under
the superintendence of Captain Austin, C. 8., of the
Blenheim, at Portsmouth. She has remarkably light
lower masts and spars, but has very square yards. Her
two pivot-guns have been mounted—namely, a ten•inch
gun forward, of 95 cwt., and one of similar calibre aft,
but lighter, weighing only 35 cwt.
The Torch, war-steamer (one of the half dos-n),
Lieutenant-Commander George Morris, arrived at Ports-
mouth, on Thursday, from Scotland, having been em-
ployed there during the summer in the regulation and
protection of the fisheries. She has taken on board the
funnel which the Encounter steam•sloop used in coming
round from the River, but she being now supplit d with
a ttle cope funnel, the Torch will carry the old one
back to Woolwich, to which port she proceeds to be
paid off.
The Lucifer steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Lloyd, at Davenport, was inspected, mustered, and paid
advance by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Sir John
Louis, Bart., on Thursday, and will proceed at once
to Scotland to perform the duties lately executed by the
Torch.

The Sh&rp,hooter, 4, screw-schooner, Lieutenant
Commander Bailey, leaves Woolwich for Portsmouth on

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—A new romantic opera, the
music by the celebrated composer, M. de Flotow, is an-
nounced to be produced at this theatre on Monday. The
principal character is to be sustained by Mr. Charles
13raharn, his first appearance on any stage. He is said
to possess a voice of exquisite sweetness, and very simi-
lar to that of his father's. We shall hail with pleasure
the success of the young vocalist, and have no doubt that
all the admirers of the veteran Braham will be present
to witness his son's debut.

THE SALE OF TIIE SURREY THEATIIE.—It is
long since, with all the spectacles and extraordinary
stage cfficts, for N%hich this theatre has been celebrated,
the stage presented so singular an appearance as it does
at present, crowded as it is with a most hetereogenous
collection of buyers, idlers, and spectators, at the sale
which is now ge.ing on. Mr. Priest I..sumcd the sale
yesterday, when the scenery, wardrobes, &c., were
offered, and, generally speaking, fetched good prices.
The sale being remarkably well attended, the lots went
off with considerable rapidity.
Herr Redl, the popular director of music at Vaux-
II:Ill-gardens, and at the Salle Valentino, Leicester-
square, has received front the members of the orchestra
at the former place of amuFement an elegant gold-
mounted ivory baton, upon which is the following in-
scription:—" Presented to J. Redl, E,q., by the gentle-
men of the orchestra of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, as
a token of esteem and respect.—September, 1848."
LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. On
Thursday the cumrnittze of this scciety gave a splendid
banquet at the Loudon Tavern, as a tribute of respect
to their conductor, Mr. Surman. After the usual loyal
toasts, the Rev. George Roberts, in a speech of great

ability, proposed the health of Mr. Sunman. which was
received by the company in a manner which can leave
no doubt of the confidence they place in that gentleman,
and of their respect for his character and talent. The
Rev. Charles Day and other gentlemen also addressed
the meeting in eppseeriate speeches. The musical ar-
rangements were
faction to the company,
g.A, and appeared to give great satis-
late hour. who did not separate until a
PEDESTRIANISM AT NOTTINGIIAM.—On Moe day
last a race of 150 yards, for "01. a side, between John
Handley, of Nottingham, and Joseph Robinson, alias
Caunt's Pet," came off on Linby Common, in this
county. It rained nearly the whole of the day, and pre-
vented many from witnessing the race. Considerable
excitement prevailed in the
town and neighbourhood
since the match was made, many of the supposed
" knowing ones " fancying that the speed and wind of
Handley had left him since he had become " Boniface "
of the Pheasant. Robinson was, therefore, predicted as
winner, and six to five was laid on him at the commence-
ment of the match, which was reduced to level betting at
the race, when a few "fivers," and a good sprinkling
of her Majesty's portraita changed bands. Handley
immediately went into training, determined, if possible,
to take the shine off the " Pet," and, with the assistance of
Charles Westhall, was in as fine condition as he could
wish. Robinson was also in splendid order, and confi-
dently said, on meeting his opponent, " Jack, I ahall win
to-day." All preliminaries being adjusted, the men
proceeded to the scratch at a quarter past three, when,
after a great deal of tedious dodging as to who should
get the advantage, exhausting the patience of every one
present, it was not until half-past six o'clock that they
effectcdastart, which Robinson obtained by a good yard.
Robinson soon increased the distance between them by
another yard, and was two yards ahead when they had
run half the distance. At this point Handley put on the
steam, breasted his opponent at ten yards from the goal,
and succeeded in making a most tremendous spring,
cleverly winning by a bare half-yard. A more exciting
race has not been witnessed in this neighbourhood for
some time past.
A SPORTING PADDY.—An Irishman from Shields,
whose first name is Pat, and his second the surname of
one of the most remarkable heroes of the late Chartist
Convention, was on the course at Newcastle races with-
out a penny in his pocket, having expended the whole of his
fortune in the purchase of a third•class ticket, which
franked him from Tynemouth. Hearing the people
betting on all sides, the brilliant thought flashed into his
mind that ho might be richer, but could hardly be poorer,
by laying a wager. " I may get a batin'," said he to
himself, " if I lose, but the chance o' winning will be
chape at that." So Pat looked round him for a victim,
and caught a pitman. A sovereign was wagered. The
pitman lost—Pat won. Nuw the pitman, like Pat, was
a speculator; he had little to lose, but he thought there
was !flitch to win. Luckilyshowever, for the Irishman,
the man had eighteenpence and an old watch—a family
heirloom. Pat looked as cool as a cucumber when the
money and timepiece were produced. " Now," said he,
" you're a nice gintleman, you are, to bet a sovereign
wid only highteenpence in your pocket, and an hould
watch; but as times is hard I'll let you off with thim."
The watch and the money having changed hands, the
winner threw in a parting word of advice to his friend,
" not to be after bitin' again in that ungintlemanly man-
ner." He thn walked jauntily across the course, with
money in his pocket, and an old sixpence, a " nanny-
num," and watch key dangling in front of him, at the
end of a steel chain.—Gatesheal Observer.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE.—The cotton cut-up
stocking branch has still further retrograded, and there
are many hands %vendee. employment ; this, however, is
generally expected at this season of the year. The re-
duction of the wages in the wrought hose branch, con-
templated by two of the Derbyshire hosiers, is aban-
doned, the front tshonn by the stockingers giving them
just cause to be doubtful of the result, as great numbers
of these workmen can turn themselves to agricultural
and other labori els employments. The silk glove turn
out has midid in the csmplete humiliation of the hands,
who, one by one, went to beg for work upon any terms.
The silk knotted branch still keeps in a fair condition,
notwithstanding the inferior articles made both as regards
silk and workmanship. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt
branch, the principal manufacture of the town of Nottiegs
ham, is but dull, and a few hands are in want of employ-
ment. The bobbin net trade is rapidly improving; foreign
houses are evidently preparing for a more extended
market, but although Leipsic feir has been held more than
a"week, yet but few goods have been shipped either fur
Hanahurgh or Bremen ; but from all we can learn,
there will shortly be a rich harvest to reap not only in
Germany but in France, the latter of which, in despite
of their prohibitions, must look to England for their sup-
ply of machine lace in future. The traverse warp branch
has suddenly and unexpectedly revived, and most of the
machines are put on long hours; the public as well as
the buyers have discovered the excellence of the articles
made from these machines ; they complain bitterly,
however, of the spurious imitations made from the
Lavers' machines. The warp lace branches, both silk
and cotton, very slowly improve. The Leicester trade
remains in every particular about the same as last week.
At present all the hands appear to be fully employed,
nor is there any fear of immediate diminution of employ-
ment.—Nottingham Journal.
"A GREAT FACT."—It is a notorious fact that the
assessed taxes' officers experience great difficulty and
much annoyance in obtaining returns from many mili-
tary gentlemen of their horses, &c., and also in getting
from them the duty when payable. It is true there are
exceptions, those who act most honourably, but it is
equally true that there are those whose conduct is the
reverse. Now it is too bad in those who are receiving
pay from Government to give trouble and annoyance in
paying what is justly due ::from them towards the
revenue. Whenever such conduct is known to a Go-
vernment office it ought to be strongly taken notice of;
that would soon stop the grievance.—From a Corres-
pondent.

DISINFECTING PROPERTY OF COFFEE.—Coffee is
one of the most powerful means not only of rendering
animal and vegetable effluvia innocuous, but of actually
destroying them. A room in which meat in an ad-
vanced degree of decomposition had been kept for some
time was instantly deprived of all smell on an open
coffee roaster being carried through it, containing a
pound of coffee newly roasted. In another room,
exposed to the effluvium occasioned by the clearing
out of a dung pit, so that sulphuretted hydrogen and
ammonia in great quantities could be chemically de-
tected, the stench was completely removed within
half a minute on the employment of three ounces of
fresh roasted coffee, whilst the other parts of the house
were permanently cleared, of the same smell by being
simply traversed with the coffee-roaster, although the
cleansing of the dung-pitcontinued for several hours after.
Even the smell of musk or eastoreurn, which cannot be
overpowered by any other substance, is completely dis-
pelled by the fumes of coffee ; and the same applies to
the odours of assafoxida. It was remarked, however,
that in general, animal effluvia aro more readily affected
by it than vegetable. That here an acidal neutralization,
and not a mere envelopment of matter, takes place, is
shown from this—that the first fumes
of the coffee are
imperceptible, and continue so until a point of saturation
so to speak is reached, whereupon the noxious smell dis-
appears, and that of the :coffee predominates. The
reverse happens with other aromatic vapours; and even
with acetic acide and chlorine. Here both co exist until
the one completely predominates. The simplest form in
which to use it against contagious matted is in powder.
The well dried raw bean is to be pounded in a mortar,
and to be strewed over a moderately heated iron plate
until the powder assumes a dark brown tint. Coif, e
acid and the empyreumatic coffee oil act more; readily
in a very minute quantity.--. London Medical Gazette.
BOOTY LEFT BEUIND.—On Saturday night, or
early on Sunday morning, a dwelling-house on the
Marine-parade, Dover, in the cccupation of Captain Sir
Thomas Trigge, was forcibly entered without creating
, any alarm. The thieves succeeded in packing up valu-
ables to the amount of 1,0001. in a hat, when, it is . .
sup-
posed, they
were disturbed, as they decamped, leaving
their valuable
bootybehind, and taking only 71. in gold
and somo silver.

FATAL EFFECTS or PROSPERITY.—On Friday last a
woman named
Taylor, whose husband lately came
into possession of some
property, inquired for lodg-
ings at Mrs. Lester's, at Ely, and begged that she
might stay there for the night. She retired to bed
at eight o'clock, and asked for a little water, as she
was sure she would require it in the night.
A Mrs. Cook and her husband slept in the same
room; and in the morning the Cooks complained that
the new kelizer made a strange noise in the night; where-
upon Mrs. Lester accompanied then to the bedside, and
symptoms were observed which induced them to send for
Dr. Pearson, who applied an antidote for poison, but at
eight o'clock' the woman died. An inquest was held on
Saturday, and adjourned until Tuesday evening, when it
appeared that deceased's husband had been a poor labour-
ing man, lately residing at Little Downhana, and had
been with his wife as comfortable as humble means
would allow; but, coming into possession of property, he
took to dissipation, ruined himself, sold all his effects,
and deserted his wife. The poor woman had been en-
deavouring to find her husband, but all her wanderings
for that purpose being fruitless, life became a burden
to her, and upon examination of her stomach upwards of
two ounces of laudanum were found in it. A verdict
was returned to the effect that she had destroyed herself
under mental distraction.
HEALTH OF TOWNS.--Steps are being taken for the
adoption of tho salutary provisions of the Health of
Towns Bill at Cambridge and Ely, and also at Wor-
cester and Birmingham.—Builder.
A Nantes journal states that there is a marked
improvement in the trade of that town, particularly in
the tanneries, which is one of its principal branches of
industry.

The weather this afternoon was miserable, wet, and
cold; its influence, however, was in some measure coun-
teracted by the anxiety to see Honeycomb once more, an
idea, strengthened by the present outlay on him fur the
Derby, having been entertained in many quarters that
his running with Tadmor and Escalade was a mistake.
He won in a canter, and immediately advanced to 10 to
1 for the Derby. The Cambridgeshire was touched
upon in the morning, and Dacia backed freely at 5 to 1,
and The Cur at 10 to 1.

THE LATE CHEAP TRIP TO NEWMARKET. ha
train of the Eastern Counties Railway, that conveyed
second class passengers at six shillings each, and third
class ut four shillings, to Newmarket and back (a dis-
tance of 130 miles), on Tuesday last, was composed of
31 carriages; each containing nearly 50 persons, and the
total numb; r conveyed was 1,537. Two of the company's
most powerful engines drew it at the average rate of 23
miles an hour, including several stoppages. The expo-
rimeet has been so successful, that the directors have
determined to repeat it at the Houghton Meeting,
THE CESAREWITCW—The result of this race
reached our office in fifteen minutes from the time of
running, althoegh the distance from the winning chair
to the telegraph station, nearly two miles, was performed
by horse Express.
SEAMEN HOSPITAL. Yesterday the quarterly
mecting of the governors of this institution was held at
tl.e °evil, 74, King William street; John 'Wild, E,
in the chair. The secretary read the report of the pro-
ceedings of the committee. In addition to taking steps
to keep the Dreadnought, hospital-ship, in repair, the
committee bad addressed a letter to the Secretary to the
Admiralty, offering to take charge of cholera patients
attacked on their arrival in this country from places
where the epidemic was raging. This offer was accepted,
and the thanks of the Admiralty forwarded to the so-
ciety. The report was received and adopted, and the
meeting separated.
HULL CORN MARKET.--A meeting of about twenty
,
of the corn-merchants, commission-agents, and brokers
was held in a small room in Eigh-street, on Thursday
evening, to promote the holding of a market on Thurs-
days for the sale of grain, in addition to the one now
held on Tuesdays, %hen it was almost unanimously de-
cided to memorialise the Town Council on the subject,
asking for the appointment of a market. The inutility
of two markets a week in Hull for the sale of grain
might easily be made apparent, but the existing charter
precluding a compliancy is ith the wishes of the meeting,
it would be a waste of time to go into the matter.

FRANCE.

The trial of the action for defamation, brought by
M. Ledru Rollin against several persons, and the
particulars of which have been given in the Messenger,
came on yesterday befrre the Tribunal of Correctional
Police. On the first charge, against M. Canoby, a
verdict of atquittrl was pronounced; the second
charge, against MM. Bignon, sen. and jun., Paullin,
Trouessart, Basset, and Laroche, on the ground that
M. Ledru Rollin had laid a previous complaint be-
fore a Juge d'lnstruction, and which was in the course
of inquiry; and, as regards MM. Bassett and Laroche,
the defamation being against M. Ledru Rollin in his
character of a public functionary, and therefore not
within the range of a correctional tribunal.
