NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Fox, 42, cOMMO
dore Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., late second in com-
mand on the East India and China station, arrived this
morning from that station, bringing home the Marquis
of Tweeddale, late Governor of Madras, the Marchio-
ness, and the staff, official and domestic. The Fox left
Madras on the 20th of March, and the Cape of Good
Hope on the 25th of bray. At the latter place all was
quiet inland, and the Admiral had gone to Madagascar
on a diplomatic mission with his squadron. The
Eurydice, Nimrod, Acorn, Acheron and Devasta-
tion, lay in Simon's Bay, Captain Anson, of the first-
named, being senior officer. The Fox brought Mr.
Cockraft, Lieutenant of the Brilliant, on the Cape
station, home on leave, the only naval officer passenger.
She arrived at St. Helena on the Bth of June, and
sailed on the 10th. No men-of-war were there then.
She arrived at Ascension on the 14th, and sailed same
day; the only men-of-war there being the Tortoise store
and guard-ship, and her tender, the Snap. She passed
the Rifleman in Yarmouth roads this morning. The Fox
brought several passengers and mails from the Cape,
St. Helena, and Ascension. She was to be paid off here
immediately, according to Admiralty orders; she was
ordered this evening, however, to re-store for sea—sup-
posed for Cork.
The Fairy royal yacht, Commander Crispin, embarked
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge from the
Clarence yard this evening, at twenty minutes past six,
and conveyed him to Osborne to join the royal party.
One hundred marines of this division were ordered
yesterday evening, per electric telegraph, to be in readi-
ness with all speed to proceed to Waterford.
A correspondent writes:—
THURSDA.Y NIGHT.
"The special train for the Goodwood visitors, which
leaves Gosport at 8.30 this evening, enables me to com-
municate some important movements which have trans-
pired since the dispatch of my ordinary parcel at 5.30.
"The Birkenhead steam-frigate and Driver steam-
sloop were ordered to Ireland with all haste; and, I be-
lieve, the Fox, 42, Commodore Sir H. Blackwood, will
go also with troops. The steamers are being got ready
as fast as hands can prepare them, and Captain Milne,
the junior naval Lord of the Admiralty, is here making
the necessary arrangements, I am informed. Marines
will be embarked to-morrow in these vessels. Their
complements of the Artillery companies of that corps
have already gone on board; and I believe the ' expedi-
tion ' will be ready to start at sunrise to-morrow, as the
vessels will be worked on all night. Powder and missiles
are being drawn for their use from the magazines while
there is yet light."

THE DISCIPLINE or LIFE.—The new novel ju4
published, under the title of " The Discipline of Life,"
from the pen of a lady of rank, contains a story of deep
interest, illustrative of the existing state of society, in
which the heroine undergoes some of the most severe
trials to which the affections are subject. It also in-
cludes a beautiful contrast between rural life and high
life—a high-minded young country clergyman, Herbert
Grey, and a fine spirited young noble, Clarence Broke,
being both in love with the same heroine. This em-
barrassing state of things is represented by the authoress
with such spirit and truthfulness, that there can be little
question that the reading public will consider this work
entitled to the same high distinction as that which has
been accorded to the productions of the writer's noble
contemporaries, Lady Fullerton and Lady Dacre.—Globe.

out the week overflowing to see the Green Bushes and

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

1 G OOD WOOD RACES.—TERTRSDAY.
The two and three vrs old stakes this day were vastly
interior in value and importance to those run for on
Tuesday, but the number of events crowded into the
card, the great interest created by the Cup, and the un-
precedented entry of fifty horses for the Duke of Rich-
mond's Plate, comprised an amount of attraction that
has rarely been exceeded. The weather, fortunately was
favourable, albeit the dullness of the atmosphere, and
the coolness of the temperature offered a remarkable
contrast to the brilliant Cup day of 1547. The attendance
was not quite up to the average concert pitch, but it was
large, and it included a good show of titled and fashion-
able visitors. The number of events to be decided ren-
dered it necessary to shorten the intervals between many
of the races. Notwithstanding this, the list was nit
gone through until half-past five o'clock; in fact it was
what opera goers would call a " long Thursday." Pro-
ceedings commenced at one o'clock with

Swordplayer, Maid of Lyme lying with him. The race
was soon reduced to a match, and was well contested to

Fitz Emilius was objected to on the following rule of
the Jockey Club, passed on the 17th of June, 1844:
" No horse foaled out of the United Kingdom shall be
entered for any race where the rules of the Jockey
Club prevail, unless the owner shall, at the time of
naming, produce to the person appointed to receive such
nominations, and leave with him a certificate from some
racing club of the country where the horse was foaled,
or from the mayor or other public officer of the district,
stating the age, pedigree, and colour of the horse, and
the marks by which it is distinguished." On the case
being brought before the stewards this morning, it was
proved that the proper certificate was produced when the
horse was entered for the Cup last year, and this being
held sufficient proof of his identity, he was allowed to
start.

Betting-6 to 4on Van Tromp, 9to 2 agst Chanti=
eleer, 7 to 1 agst Fitz•Emilius, 12 to 1 agst Miss Sarah,

and Miss Lydia filly. Cossack, Van Tromp, and Fitz-
Emilius got off in front, and the former taking the lead,
made slow running for about a distance ; the favourite
then took it up, and with Cossack, Fitz-Emilius, Gardenia,
and Miss Lydia filly laid up, carried it on to the turn.
Fitz-Emilius next showed in front, led for about four
hundred yards, and then fell behind the favourite—but
heading him again at the foot of the hill, was indulged
with a slight lead to the turn into the straight course, by
which tima his chance was out. Van Tromp here re-
gaining his lead, was never afterwards caught, and won
by a length ; Armi❑ second, and all the others tailed
(,ff. Run in 5 min. 38 sec. The pace was very bad all
the way.

POST-OFFICE RAILWAY DIRECTORY. for
1848 of Chairmen, Deputy-Chairmen, Directors, Se-
cretaries, Engineers, and Officials, with an Alphabetical
Official Directory. London: Kelly and Co.
We had occasion to speak in terms of high appro-
bation of the plan of Messrs. Kelly's " Railway
Directory" when it first appeared last year,
and of the admirable manner in which the
plan had been carried out. The success of that edi-
tion was great, and it acted as a stimulus to the
Messrs. Kelly and Co. to make greater exertions, so
as to render. the work as perfect as possible.
They, accordingly, went to the expense and trouble
of sending to each person mentioned in the
work the description of himself, and where the
absence of the address rendered that impossible, they
submitted it to the secretary of the railway with
which he was connected. They have thus produced
a work which, while it is the mirror of the rail-
way world, is at the same time a biography of all
its great notabilities. We had intended to make a
few selections by way of example, but, in a galaxy of
such varied talent, as the selection might appear invi-
dious, we cannot do better than to strongly recom-
mend the volume to those of the public interested in
railways (and who are not ?) for a most complete
fund of information.

THE NEW ACT TO SUPPRESS REBELLION IN IRE-
LAND.--The new Act to suppress rebellion in Ireland
(11 and 12 Victoria, cap. 35), has just been printed. It
contains three clauses. The preamble declares that a
treasonable and rebellious spirit of insurrection now,
unfortunately, exists in Ireland, and, therefore, for the
better preservation of her Majesty's most sacred person,.
and for securing the peace, the laws, and liberties of
this kingdom, it is enacted by the first clause, " That all
and every person and persons, who is, are, or shall
be, within prison within that part of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland,
at or on the day on which this Act shall receive her
Majesty's royal assent (25th July instant), or after by
warrant of her Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council of
Ireland, signed by six of the said Privy Council, for high
treason or treasonable practices, or suspicion of high tree-•
son or treasonable practices, or by warrant, signed by
the Lord-Lieutenant, or other chief governor or gover-
nors of Ireland for the time being, or his or their chief
secretary for such causes aforesaid, may he detained in
safe custody without bail or mainprize until the Ist day
of March, 1849; and that no judge or justice of the
peace shall try any such person or persons committed,
without order from her said Majesty's Privy Council,
until the Ist of March, 1849, any law or statute to the
contrary notwithstanding." By the second clause it is
provided, that persons to whom warrants are directed
shall detain the persons so committed in safe custody.
Persons charged with custody, as also the place of deten-
tion, may be changed by warrant by the Lord-Lieutenant
or Privy Council, The third clause directs, that copies
of such warrants respectively shall be transmitted by the
Clerk of the Crown for Dublin. This Act passed the
Commons on Saturday. the Lords on Monday, and re-
ceived the Royal Assent on Tuesday, when it came into
force, the quickest possible time of legislation in the an-
nals of Parliament.

NEW CHURCH AT SOUTH LAmuant.—Yesterday
the foundation-stone of a new church was laid by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, is the above
populous district, in the presence of a large and respect-
able assembly. The new church is to be dedicated to St.
Barnabas, the Apostle, and it is estimated will cost in
its, erection about 5,000/. The site is near Lansdowne-
road, and as the edifice is intended to be capable of hold-
ing 1,200 persons, the majority to be free sittings, it
will supply a deficiency long felt by the poorer inhabi-
tants of that portion of the parish of Kennington. His
Royal Highness was accompanied to the ground by the
Rev. Evan Nepean, chaplain to the Duchess of Glou-
cester, and amongst the clergymen who took part in the
proceedings ware the Very Rev. the Archdeacon of
Surrey, the Rev. Charlton Lane, M.A., incumbent of
Kennington, the Rev. J. W. Ayre, M.A., the minister of
the new district. The whole of the clergy of Lambeth
were present, At the conclusion of the ceremony " God
save the Queen" was sung, after which the Duke of
Cambridge addressed a few words to the persons as-
sembled, expressing that this church was one likely to
prove a great blessing to the neighbourhood. The de-
sign for the new church is a very
the early English style.

NEWSVEND
ERS DINNER.—On Wednesday the
annual dinner, provided for the persons employed by
the newsvenders of London and its vicinity, came off at
the Higlibury Barn Tavern, when about 900 sat down
to dinner. Every reader of a newspaper must acknow-
ledge a debt to this meritorious class of individuals, who
are compelled to assemble at a very early hour of the
morning at the various newspaper offices, trudging,
many of them, from the very outskirts of this vast me-
tropolis, in order that he may have the collected wisdom
of the world lying before him at his breakfast. Nor are
the newspaper proprietors themselves less indebted to a
body without whose active aid the influence of their
journals would be less immediate and more circum-
scribed. Convinced of this fact, a dinner is annually
provided by donations from all the London daily, weekly,
and other journals, and we may add, with no niggard
hand, as will be apparent when it is mentioned that no
fewer than 600 mon and their wives, and 300 boys, dined
at Highbury Barn. Mr. Benson took the chair, and a
very excellent dinner having been discussed, he briefly
and neatly proposed the following toasts:—" The Queen
and the Royal Family," " The Founders of the Feast,"
" The Press and the Liberty of the Press," and " The
Stewards." Each toast was received with all the honours.
A ball in the large room closed the festive proceedings of
the day.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The council of
the Royal College of Surgeons have given notice that
the examination of candidates for fellowships will take
place on Tuesday, August 1, and Thursday, August 3.
The council have also given notice that there are two
subjects for the Jacksonian prize of 20 guineas each for
the year 1849, viz., the causes, consequences, and treat-
ment of purulent deposits; and erysipelas, its nature and
treatment.
