THE DAILY NEWS.
NEW LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPER,
Price Twopence Halfpenny.
Published in time for the Morning Malls.
Whitefriars, June 11th.
The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that
the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or
so punctually as might reasonably have been anticipated. Their
apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded
all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required
numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the
Morning Expresses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office
orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impossible,
to distribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing
such orders were unavoidable. They trust, however, that their ar-
rangements are now so compete as to insure the Subscribers against
all chance of delay : yet, as all the respectable News Agents have
given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have
announced by advertisement their willingness to supply the paper
for 16s. 4d. per quarter—payment being made in advance—the Pro-
prietors ecommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct
from a News Agent, and only when there is an apparent difficulty
transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY
NEWS Office, Whitefriars, London.

" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,

Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health frill threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
mature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, It Is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge., and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

DWELLING HOUSE AND LAND.
CHIPPING SODBURY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
MR. JOHN TAYLOR will Sell by Auction,
at the George Inn, at Chipping Sodbury, on FRIDAY, the
19th of June, 1846, at Four o'clock in the afternoon (unless pre-
viously disposed of by Private Contract, of which due notice will be
given),

A modern and substantially-built DWELLING HOUSE, situate
in the town of Chipping Sodbury, late the residence of Miss Brooke,
deceased, comprising entrance hall; dining-room, 20 feet by 15 feet;
drawing-room, 20 by 15 ; five good bedrooms, water-closet, three
servants' roans, kitchen, scullery, with furnace copper for brewing,
and forcing puinps.for supplying a bath and cistern up-stairs, butler's
and cook's pantries, larder, a good arched cellar, wine cellar, with all
other convenient offices.

There is also a stable, yard, greenhouse, and most productive large
walled garden, tastefully laid out and well stocked witth fruit trees,
the whole standing on nearly an acre of ground. A close of rich
pasture land, containing three acres, two roods, may also be purchased
with the house. The premises are well supplied with hard and soft
water.

The house is in a complete state of repair, fit for the immediate
reception of a family, To a gentleman of moderate means, the
above offers an opportunity of securing a roomy and comfortable
dwelling-house at a small expense. Part of the above is held for a
residue of a term of 2,000 years from the Ist day of April, 1675,
at the yearly rent of a peppercorn. Chipping Sodbury is 11 miles
from B istol, 14 miles from Bath, and within two miles of the Yate
station on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway. Besides the parish
church, there is a Roman Catholic chapel, and a Baptist meeting-
lion e in the town.

The greater part of the furniture may be taken by the purchaser at
a valuation if required.
To view the property, apply at the house ; and for further par-
ticulars, to Messrs. Wilde, Bees, Humphrey, and Wilde, solicitors,
College-hill, London; to Messrs. W. and C. Bevan, solicitors, Small-
stre t; or to J. P. Sturge and Son, land agents and surveyors, Broad-
street, Bristol.

it would appear at first sight that the Garland is the supe-
rior vessel, her increased speed being nearly a third of a mile
per hour beyond that attained by the Violet, or in the ratio,
43 to 42. She also made the quickest passage on record from
Ostend to Dover, steaming from port to port in 3 hours 55
minutes. A li:tle closer examination of the merits of the
rival boats will, however, lead us to pause before we deter-
mine the relative superiority of the Garland. The Garland
is confessedly a slight boat, built for one object only, speed,
and accordingly her draught of water is less than either of
the other vessels. The Violet and Onyx, though built for
speed, are also built to stand the chopping seas in the Chan-
nel. We must have better evidence, the test, at least, of
six months wear and tear, before we accord the palm to the
" oak" over the " iron gnome," or pronounce the Garland
to be a better boat than the Violet. The former is, not-
withstanding, a good boat, and reflects great credit on her
constructor.

LAW IN TELLIGEN CE.
ADMIRALTY COURT, June 12.
(Before Dr. LUSHING TON. )
THE SIRI US.-COL LISIO N.

The Court was aided in this caseW-Captain Nelson and
Captain Farrer, from the Trinity House, nautical skill
being required to settle the points of navigation in dispute.
The owners of the schooner Deft were the parties proceeding
against the Sirius steamer, the former vessel having been
run into on the 14th November last, being struck on the
larboard quarter, cut down to the water's edge, and
soon afterwards sunk in deep water. The collision took place
off the Gull Light, and the Deft sank in ten fathoms
water, off Walmer Castle. The lost vessel was proceeding
to Caen, in France, with coals, and the Sirius, of 412 tons,
with two engines of 140-horse power, was bound from Cork
to Plymouth, with a general cargo. The case was con-
ducted by plea and proof. It was pleaded that the
Daft was sailing, at the time of the collision, with the
wind at N. W. by W. The Sirius had the wind N.E. to
N.N.E., and as soon as possibly after the vessels neared
each other, the steamer's engines were stopped, and her helm
ported. The crew of the lost vessel were saved by a ship
called the Mary; the steamer having pursued her course, as
there was no appearance of any serious damage having
been done to the Deft. The night was bright and the wea-
ther moderate. The material averment against the Sirius
was, that counter orders were given—first, that the helm
was ordered a starboard; next, to port; then to starboard
again ; then hard a-port ; and afterwards " hard a-star-
board," &c. The value of the Deft was stated at 6741.
Drs. Addams and Bayford appeared for the owners of the
Deft; Drs. Haggard and Twiss supported the case of the
owners of the Sirius, and contended that the whole fault of
the accident was attributable to the want of skill on the part
of those on hoard the Deft.

The Learned JUDGE stated the facts, and held if the
steamer did not port her helm and stopped her engines, she
did that which was right. But the evidence was, that one
of the crew of the Sirius saw the Deft when she was full two
miles off, steering S.W. half S. The master of the steamer
put his helm to port, but not until the collision was inevi-
table. Whether a steamer or any other vessel came before
the Court, as in argument it had been presumed that such
powerful vessels had not full justice done to them, he (Dr.
Lushington) would only mention that all parties coming
before the Court had, as far as practicable, justice done to
them. It would be for the gentlemen by whom the Court
was assisted to consider if the orders—first, to port the helm
—then to starboard—then to port—did not lead to the colli-
sion in this case.

The Trinity Masters retired with the Learned Judge, and
after a short interval they returned, and •
Dr. LUSHINGTON said the gentlemen whose assistance this
Court had had the benefit of were of opinion that both ves-
sels were to blame. In that opinion he (Dr. Lushington)
entirely concurred. The next question was where blame
was on both sides both parties must bear the share of the
loss and damage. The Court very much regretted it had
to speak strongly upon the conduct of the steamer. The
persons on board the Sirius, it was proved, heard the hailing
after the collision took place, and they ought not to have
taken it for granted, or as a matter on trust, that the ship
had not suffered injury. It was her bounden duty, and in
accordance with the principles of humanity, to stop to
render assistance. Much was it to be lamented that such
an obvious duty had been neglected. Under all the circum-
stances, and in conformity with a decision given by Sir John
Nichol, the Court felt itself bound to condemn the Sirius
in the costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

THE NAVIGATION BYE-LAWS.—Henry George Hudson,
the commander of the Bride steam-boat, was summoned be-
fore Alderman Gibbs, yesterday, by ➢ir. Fellows, of King's
Bench-court, Temple, for the violation of one of the bye-
laws framed for the River Thames navigation by the Court
of Aldermen.

Mr. Prendergast, the barrister, and Mr. Cattarns, solicitor
to the steam-boat company, appeared for the defendant.
Alderman Goss said he considered the case proved, and
fined the defendant in the penalty of 31.

Mr. Cattarns gave notice of appeal against the decision.
Mr. Henry Sharpe (of the house of Murray and Sharpe,
of Paternoster•row, warehousemen), who some days ago
underwent a long examination, upon suspicion of having
committed a felony in the house of Messrs. Lewis and James,
his former employers, appeared to undergo a final exami-
nation.

Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal.
lantine for the defence.

Ma prat witztaaa called was

Mr. Thomas Lamb Atkinson, who said—l am a ware-
houseman to Messrs. Lewis and James. On the 13th of last
February I sent to Mr. Robertshaw, of Oxford-street, one
of the pieces of 7-8 muslins, No. 1,600. On approbation we
enter them in a book, and on the return of the cambric I
directed Mr. Wood to cancel that entry. On the afternoon
of the 14th, in making up my department, I missed this
piece of 7-8 muslin. I mentioned this to Mr. Wood, who
had cancelled the entry, and I directed Payne, another
porter, to make inquiry about it. In consequence of this I
communicated my suspicions to Mr. Lewis. I had before
that time mentioned my suspicions to a Mr. Evans. Before
Sharpe left the service he inquired of me if he could have a
cambric-box.

Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner—We
also do so, and I considered it to be my duty to leave the
cambric on the counter till the evening, and then to put it
away; and on clearing up, about four o'clock, I missed it.
The counter is at the end of the warehouse. There is a door
leading to the street. I made my suspicions known to Mr.
Lewis about Sharpe not a week after he left. My reason for
doing so was, that I had seen Sharpe take linens out of the
rack, and put them back again. Sharpe's duty was not with
the cambrics. I belltve the cambric produced to be the cam.
brie I packed up, from its quality. I carry it in my eye; but
I will not swear to it.
William Payne, porter to Messrs. Lewis and James, said
he heard about the cambrics being missing on the 14th of
February in the warehouse. He had seen Mr. Sharpe about
one o'clock on that day about two yards from the place in
which the cambrics were lying, and had observed him there
before on the same day.
Cross-examined—. lie remembered that many other per-
sons had been there as well as Mr. Sharpe.
Several witnesses were examined to prove the identity of
the pieces of French cambric.
Alderman GIBBS stated that it was his intention to com-
mit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court.
Mr. Ballantine then applied for leave to put in bail, which
would be forthcoming to any amount, but
The ALDERMAN refused to accept bail, and, the parties
being bound over to prosecute, the defendant was committed
for trial.

There are some fashions which have so little of the
enduring principle in them, that they seldom survive the
fluctuations of a single season ; others which, from their in-
trinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in public esteem, and
enjoy a more extensive vogue in proportion as they become
known to the public. Of the latter order of fashion is the
invaluable Registered Paletot, made by the Messrs. Nicoll, of
Regent-street, and patronized, we believe, by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert. This exceedingly useful and
agreeable garment was introduced to the public last year,
and, instead of being shelved, with other fashions of an
ephemeral character, is now in almost universal use. Nor
can this be wondered at, when it is considered that the
Paletot--a word, by the way, almost incorporated into the
English vocabulary—is manufactured from a Llama woollen
cloth, unrivalled for its beautiful and silky quality. Messrs.
Nicoll appear to be deeply sensible of the high value of the
patronage they enjoy, for we observe they illuminated their
house on the occasion of her Majesty's birthday in a most
superb and tasteful manner.—Court Journal _

THE GREAT BLAST AT DowrmlLL.—The Belfast
Chronicle gives the following account of this affair :—" This Much-
looked-for event came off on Saturday, and was completely success-
ful. In the early part of the day vast numl>ers flocked to the place
from all parts of the neighbourhood and placed themselves in groups
on various eminences commanding a view of the operations. Eight
steamers, from different places, one the St. Mungo from Belfast,
conveyed to the scene of action numbers of scientific men
anxious to witness the powerful effects or the heavy charge of
gunpowder on the solid rock to be cleared away for the rail-
way. Three flags were raised on a prominent situation to mark
the progress of the operations. The taking 'down of the first was
the preparative ; the second indicated that; all was In readi-
ness, and when the third was struck and a gun fired, the galvanic
battery was applied, and immediately, with :t booming noise, the
tremendous mass of rock, heaving outwards, hor prostrate tinder the
powerful agency skilfully applied to it. Gre at cheering from the
