NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, Jix. I4.—The Court of Ad►niralty, at
the instance of Messrs. Edmonds and Sons, solicitors
to the salvors, have decreed a commission of removal
for the derelict barque Lady Kennaway, late Captain
Avery, from hence to London, her original dest►na-
tion. The Court direct that an insurance be first
effected to cover the full value of ship and cargo,
which we understand to be about 30,0001. After
being provided with a new rudder, sails, and other
gear, she will, under custody of her Danish salvors,
be navigated to the Thames.
WOOLWICH, Jax. 15.—The Banshee steam-vessel
is ordered to be taken round to Chatham to be fitted
for sea at that port. She will leave the Thames on
Monday, and will be navigated to Chatham by a por-
tion of the crew of the Black Eagle, under the charge
of Lieutenant Robertson.
The Fiuto was taken out of dq...k. to day, and the
Caradoc ordered to be taken in to hive her bottom
covered with the composition itn-ented by Mr. Hty,
of Portsmouth, for preserving iron vessels. It was
found impossible to get the Caradue out of the East
India Docks in time to save the tide at Woolwich to-
day, and she will have to be docked to-morrow.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander
Petley, is in the basin, having her starboard paddle-
box and bulwarks repaired, which were injured by
the Banshee coming into collision with her, and it
has been found that no part of the wheel or machi-
nery connected with the engines have been put out of
order, as was at first supposed to he the case.
Vessels in the Harbour—William and Mary yacht,
Captain Austin, C.B. ; the Black Eagle steam-vessel,
Master Commander S. B. Cook ; the Trident eteam-

. -
vesel, the Virago steam-sloop, and the Monkey
steam. vessel.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court proceeded with the special parer; none
of the cases, however, were of such a nature as to be
of any interest except to the parties immediately con-
cerned therein.

CAPTAIN GLASCOCK, R.N.
This worthy man, and an excellent servant of the
public, did not, as stated, die of apoplexy, but of
over-work. In fact, his life was sacribced to his
duty. Just arrived from a three years' command
upon the Syrian coast, he was dispatched to Ireland,
in the capacity of an administrant of the Government
relief last year ; and there he was attacked with
severe dysentery. This, combined with over-exertion
and intense bodily and mental labour, it was which
brought his valuable life to a close, and left a wife and
two female children unprovided for, except by the or-
dinary pittance of an officer's widow. Captain Glas-
cock was a public benefactor as well as a public ser-
vant. His "Naval Officer's Manual" is a text-book in
the navy ; and his naval novels have been the delight
of thousands in this and other countries. In fact, his
life was one act of devotion to the public and private
good of his countrymen and his fellow-creatures. Is
it to be borne, then, in a rich country like Eng-
land, that the children, the female children of such a
man and such an officer, should be left unprovided
for ? When the Pension List shows the sisters of
sub-secretaries of the Treasury, the mothers of peers,
and the sisters of ex Cabinet Ministers, in the enjoy-
ment of the public bounty, is it too much to require
that a helping hand should be held out to the
daughters of one of the bravest sailors and most in-
telligent authors that this kingdom can boast of? For-
bid it, Heaven.—Observer.

DEATH OF TIIE EARL or MORAY.—The demise of
this Nobleman took place at Darnaway Castle, Moray-
shire, late on Wednesday night. The deceased, who

delicate health, and having been attacked with the
prevailing epidemic, it became evident he could not
long bear up under it. The deceased, Francis Stuart,

Doune and Baron St. Colme; in the peerage of Briton,

Balcombie, who died 1798; (second), 1801, Margaret
Jane, daughter of Sir Philip Ainslie, Knt., who died
1837, and has issue, by his first marriage, Francis Lord
Doune, born 1795; Hon. John, born 1797; by his second
marriage, Lady Jane, born 1802, married 1832 the late
