The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin,
hauled alongside the dockyard to-day to embark de-
tachments of the 74th Highlanders for Aberdeen.
The Orestes, 18, Commandor Cannon, was paid off
into ordinary this morning.
The Aid navy lighter, Smallman master, arrived last
night from Chatham with stores.
The America, 50, is rapidly refitting at Devonport, and
will be again ready for sea in a few days.
The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, sailed from
Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 16th of June,
for Sydney, New South Wales.
The Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle, ar-
rived at Simon's Bay from Table Bay on the 17th of
June.

The United States frigate Constitution, about whose
armament and weight of metal such feverish anxiety
was manifested by one or two members of the late
court•martial upon Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, of the
America, left Mazatlan prior to the 28th of June for
one of her home ports, her timbers being so rotten as
to preclude her from making any further display with
safety.

Tile Lords of the Admiralty are contemplating an
alteration in the naval uniform, having during their re.
cent official visits to this and other ports experienced ex-
treme difficulty in discovering the real rank of officers
from their uniforms, the juniors especially, owing to the
extraordinary profusion with which the late board epau-
bitted the service.

The Inflexible steam sloop, Commander Iloseason,
arrived at Madeira on the 16th ult., from Plymouth, en
route to the Cape of Good Hope. She put in merely to
land letters. A letter from her says—" We have had a
beautiful trip, the weati,er having been fine and the
passengers cheerful and in good order. We have steamed
all the way, in consequence of light winds, and I think
we stand a very fair chance of reaching the Cape with
some coals to spare in our blinkers. I like my ship very
much: our accommod ition is superb." After landing her
letters the Inflexible proceeded on her course for the
Cape direct.

DELIGHTFUL CONSEQUENCES OF THE GAME-LAWS.
—On Sunday morning last, between four and five
o'clock, as the under keeper, named Cook, in the
employ of Mr. A. Fontaine, of Narford, was crossing a
turnip field near the Secots, he saw a dog taking a hare,
and presently a man started up with a view to seize it,
but seeing the keeper he made off. The latter pursued
the dog, which travelled rather slowly from the weight
of the hare, and at length he secured him. This brought
the poacher up, who demanded to have his animal re-
leased, but this the keeper refused. The result was a
scuffle, and at length they drew their knives, and with
these weapons they fought dreadfully for half an hour.
At length the weapon of Cook entered the side of
Mason (that being the poacher's name), and he fell.
The keeper then wrenched from him the knife, and threw
them both away, keeping his man, however, pinned to
the ground, and calling lustily for assistance. Mr.
Spanton, sen., happened to be up, and hastened to
the spot from which the cries came. They all
proceeded towards the house of the latter, but
they had not gone far, when Mason complained
that he could walk no further. as his bowels were pro-
truding. They undid his clothes, and this was found to
be actually the case. Mr. Spanton then procured a
horse and cart, and sent them both on to Swabham under
a proper escort, both men being so dreadfully wounded
that it was not thought they could survive many hours.
Cook's face
the 'vantage was literally'raege
groundhacked to pieces, so much had
of him in the onset of
the affray. The last information we received was, that
the poacher
both men are still alive, and that Mason has been re-
manded.—Lynn Advertiser.
In the morning of the 31st ult., while the work-
men at the Hamburgh Theatre were hoisting to its place
a splendid bronze chandelier for gas lights, just brought
from London, and weighing above Io,Boolbs the rone
broke, and the enormous mass, falling to the ground,
was broken to pieces, crushing two ENglishnien who had
come over to superintend its being suspended.
Mr. Sheriff Laurie a few days since had the honour
to receive an invitation to dine with his Majesty the
King of the French, at his palace at Neuilly. The worthy
Sheriff accepted the royal invite, and we understand was
most worthily entertained by King Louis Philippe.
A SHIP AGROUND OVER THE THAMES TUNNEL;
On Sunday morning last the tide ran out so low in the
Thames, that the Venezuela steam-ship, bound to Havre,
soon after leaving the St. Katherine Dock Steam packet
Wharf, being deeply laden with passengers and goods,
grounded right over the tunnel, where she remained for
two hours, when the tide flowed and she got under weigh
again. Some alarm was felt for the safety of the tunnel,
but not a brick was started, althouab the Venezuela,
which is a very large ship, laid right over the tunnel,
and no damage whatever was done to the works.
At Southwark Police-court, on Tuesday, Robert
Smith, the driver of a horse and cart, was.fined 40s. and
