The GazPtte of Friday night announced the promo-
tions and changes consequent on the decease of Ad-
miral Sir Henry Heattkote. O'B)rne gives the fol-
lowing •k-tcb of Sir H-nry's career : _ _

Sir Henry He•Atecote, born Jan. 20. 1777, was fourth
soft of the fete Sir William Heathcote, Bart, of Hursley
Park, near Winchester, M.P. tor county Hants, by Fran-
ca. daughter and co heir of John Thorpe, Esq . of
Embley, °tiros Hants, and brother of the late Cap-
tain Gilbert Heetheiett, Ft N, (1806). This officer en-
tered the navy July 3 1790, on board the Captain, 74.
tie served en shore, while m the Egmont, at the reduc-
+len of C asica in 1794; and on Nlarch 14 and July 13,
1795, he was present, as mid hipman of the Princess
Rayal, and master's mate of the C)clopte in Admiral
flute m's partial actions. On Sept. 19, 1796, Mr. Heath-
cat° etas ceetirm d a lieutenant it, the Britannia, 100, in
which ship, :.rid the Meleager frigate, he further served
in the Nleiiiterraneau, until nominated, Jul) 5, 1797, act-

lowing August. From the letter vessel. then at Lisbon,
he was removed Nov. 7, 1797, to the captaincy, by
.n order from his .ailusiral, of the Romulus, 36,
which frigate he paid off shortly atter his official ad-
vincetnent, F- b. 5, 1793, to post rank. Captain EL ath-

, orted a convoy of 101 sail; March 21. 1807, to the St-,a
Fencieles, in the Isle of Wight; and Feb. 13, 1808, and
April 28, 1812, to the Lien,.64, and Scipion, 74. In the
eamer of those ships he immediately sailed, in charge
et 14 Irdiamete•for Beneal.e.bd China. When at Rim-
eey, in June, 1811, Captain Fleathcote, owing to the
bsence of Commthiore Broughtoo,. the commander in-
;tiief,
en the expedition to Java, was induced to open a
Set ef.iiispatches from England, from whose contents he
learnt that a large force from France might reasonably

in the subject, which Was by permission dedicated to the

ty whom he has issue, living, three sons (the eldest in

Henry, a major in the 88th Foot, died in 1829."
That distinguished Octogenarian flag officer, Vice-
Admiral M'Kinley, as stated on Saturday, having re-
ired from th•-• active list, with the new good-service
pension of 150/ per annum, Commodore Lord John
Clay, C. 8., has ontained his flag; but we regret to
hear that this noble and gallant officer is rapidly
,inking, and that there is not' the slightest hope of his
eeeevery.
Vice-Admiral JAti Dick and Rear-Admiral Sir
Edward Chetham Strode, K C.B , K.C.H., are now
the seniors of their respective grades for promotion.
Captain Constantine Richard Moorsom (1818) is
now the senior on the captain's list; but not having
serted the regulated period as a captain he will be
placed on the reserved half-pay list of 11 g officers on
the next vacancy, as will also his next seniors, the Earl
tf Egmont 'and Sir G. A. Westphal, neither of whom
have served their time sfliat as captains. Captain
Provo .W. T. Wallis (1816) is therefore the next eli-
gible officer for promotion to the active list.
By the elevation of Lord John H ty, an appoint-
ment of naval aide.de-catnp to the Queen has fallen in
hand.

Captain William Burnaby Greene (1834) died on
the 20th instant, at Farnham, from the atftcts of a

Charles M ilcolm, lying at Dublin; and Nov 25,
1823, to the Revenge, 76, hearing the flag on the
Mediterranean station of Sir Harry Burrard Neale.
lie was promoted Dec. 30, 1826, to the command of
the Medina, 20, which sloop he pail eff in 1827 ; and

fast vessel, 300 tons burden, iron built, double fun-
nelled, and is adapted for passengers, towing, or
war purposes. Having a rudder at each end, she
can be steered without turning, and is well suited
for the n ivigation of the narrow channels which run
into the Black Sea. After being supplied with coal
and other requirements, through Mr. Luscombe, the
Russian Consul, she sails early in the week for Odessa.
WooLwica. AUG. 23.—The French Government

I heune, vcompanied by the Zinger steam-vessel,
arrived at Woolwich to-day, and proceeded imme-
diately as far up the river as Deptford, having pre-
viously landed their powder at Purfleet. The object
of the visit of these vessels to this country will be best
ex?lained by the follussing communication sent from
the Admiralty to Commodore Henry Eden, superin-
tendent of her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich

" Admiralty, Aug. 19.
" The French government having intimated their in-
tention of sending to the port of London in the corvette
Sicorne, under the command of Captain Dimino, and
eso,rted by the Tanger steamer, the pupils of the Naval
College of Brest, we or ter that they may visit the docks
and the naval portion of the Exhibition. lam also to

attention to Captain Theune, and affusd every assistance

The Sicorne corvette and the Tanger steamer will
remain for six days in the river, that being the period
of leave granted to the pftpils to witness the Exhibi-
tion, and the Dockyard and Arsenal here.

being now closed, whether there was any intention to
have an audit of the account.

The CHAIRMAN said that they had been audited as
part of the Norfolk Railway accounts; but be should
be extremely glad that the proprietors should nomi-
nate some parties to go through the whole of the ac-
counts. Such a course would be very satisfactory to
the board.—(dear.)
Tne accounts were agreed to; and on the motion
of Mr. Sulstzer, seconded by Mr. J. 0. Taylor, it
was resolved that a public accountant of high charac-
ter and station should, previously to the next half-
yearly meeting, audit and report upon the whole of
the accounts.

Capt. ANDREWS, the harbour-master, was then
called upon to report on the state and prospect of the
harbour. He said that notwithstanding that the last
half-year had been acknowledged :to he unusually
poor, in consequence of the extreme mildnesss of the
winter, which occasioned a diminution in the demand
for coals, which formed their_ staple import,
there had yet been an increase on all irn
ports of 6.997 tons over the corresponding period
of last year. There had been a falling off in the
export of grain to a considerable extent, from
causes which he was unable to explain ; but
there had been a total increase on receipts amounting
to 1131. 153. 7d. over the corresponding half-year.
The harbour had maintained its .position very satis•
factorily. They had secured an increased deep water
space in the harbour, and though the dredging opera-
tions had not been so extensive as those of last year,
yet they had been able to keep under the -accumula-
tion of silt. The harbour bad already stood the test
of two winters, it admitted large vessels at low water,
and he bad every confidence that the depth of water
would be Maintained, the works upheld, and the har-
bour continue to be esteemed.—(Cheers.) Many
things which at their last meeting were in their in-
fancy bad now arrived at maturity. There had been
a censiderable increase in the imports of cattle. He
had lately been over the whole peninsula of Jutland,
and had coasted along from Hjerting to Tonning,
where he had had an opportunity of seeing an amount
of produce upon the ground, both of cattle and grain,
which would alone be sufficient to maintain the line of
steamers between Lowestoft and Denmark. He had
had a meeting with the principal shippers of the port
of Tonning, and about 216 of them had undertaken to
send the whole of their cattle—something like 12,000
head annually—by the company's line. Tnis item at
the usual rate would amount to 24,0001. annually.
They had already imported this year from Tonning,
Millen, and Hjerting, 2 684 oxen, 1,326 sheep, 587
pigs, and 45 horses, besides passengers. They had of
course had other interests to compete with, and the
General Steam Navigation Company bad offered to
convey cattle direct for 153. per head ' • but the ar-
rangements of this company were so good, and the
accommodation so perfect, that dealers preferred send-
ing by the vessels of this company at the rate of 30s.
each.—(Hear, hear.) The fishing trade continued to
progress very satisfactorily. They had now nine
boats on the station; and though the fish had been
unusually scarce, and prices low in London, they had
caught 3,303 baskets of soles, turbots, and plaice,
and had brought in 2,426 baskets by the steamer,
which now regularly ran out to the fleet of fishing
vessels. The railway traffic had increased during
the half-year by 1,7971. 12s. 6d., or 30 per cent.
upon the receipts of the corresponding period of last
year, and the accounts for July and August would
show that the business was still steadily increasing.
The cattle traffic alone bad added within three
months 1,000/. to the railway receipts, and he con-
fidently anticipated that it must increase them at least
10,000/. a year.—(Cheers.)
The statements of the chairman and of' Captain
Andrews appeared to give the u'niost satisfaction to
the meeting, which concluded with a vote of thanks
to Mr. Peto and to the board of directors.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TI H.S.—The issue between the Romish agitators
and the British people is law or no law. There can
be no doubt about the question. The statute of last
session plainly declares that no territorial designation
diall he taken by Popish prelates from any places in
the United Kingdom. To organize an association for
the repeal of this Act was a perfectly legitimate pro-
ceeding. It is the method by which in these days laws
are procured, rescinded, or amended, and it was as
competent to Irishmen as to Englishmen, to Papists
ai to Protestants, to adopt this exuedient for acringon
,he Legislature of the empire. Bat the "Catholic
Defence Association " transgressed at the very outset
the rights of citizens and subjects by deliberately and
~f set purpose violating the law as it stood. They pub-
licly proclaimed and assumed the titles forbidden, and
nombastically expatiated on their own inherent pri-
vilege to do exactly as they thought prop sta
fetes to the contrary notwithstanding. To illustrate
these proceedings by English examples, we must
imagine the Anti-Corn-law League forcibly effecting
the free importation of wheat while agitating for the
repeal of the Acts of 1816 ; or the Society for the
Amendment. of the Law refusing all obe-
dience to the decrees of the Court of Chan-
cery. It is nothing more nor less then a
..übstitution of private resolutions for the law of the
laud. No words are wanted to prove to English
capacities that such assumptions, if uncontrolled,
must end either in political confusion or in the abso-
bite domination of a faction over the country at large.
Toe question actually at stake signifies little in com-
perison with the principle involved. If the " Catholic
Defenders" can extort for themselves a recognition of
titles which the bulk of the nation deuounces, they
can maintain and exert the same agency for any
other purpose. They can push their private demands
to any they conceivable extravagance, or can abandon
their own affairs and claim dictation in the affairs of
others. Nay, they have already done so, for the de-
struction of the Protestant Church has been openly
spoken of as am object fairly hacks led among those of
" Catholic defence." Nor is there any reason why
they should stop even here. They may define the
e full and free exercise of their religion" as compre-
hending the suppression of other forms of worship, and
tway insist on the proscription of dissent. There is
not tung unnatural in such an anticipation. It is the
ordinary. development of Popish principles, and Dr.
Cullen 's friends and schoolfellows are so acting at this
very moment in the kingdom of Naples. The prac-
tices, the precepts, and the catechisms which we have
lately seen exposed pertain essentielly to the " full
and free exercise" of the Roman Catholic religion.
The only reason why the mal-administration of
Ireland falls short of the mel-administration of Italy
is, that at present the Pope's emissaries are not left
entirely to their own discretion. If once they can
wain the mastery by agitation, importunity, or terror,
we shall soon see the mere criestion of " titles" alto-
gether forgotten in the expansive flights of prelatical
ambition. The fundamental pretext of the " Asso-
ciation" is, that they hare b-en betrayed and perse-
cuted ; that the " compact" of 1829 has been violated
to their prejudice; and that consequently the combi-
nations by which that compact was secured are again
rendered necessary for the purposes of legitimate de-
fence. Dr. Wiseman, in a political pastoral, enlarged
upon these circumstances with true R nnish fervour,
and feelingly alluded to the " betrayal of trusts unre-
servedly regarded through a whole generation of the
Catholic body." It is not easy to translate into the
current language of the land a phraseology which, as
Dr. Ullathorne informs us, is "so easily made unintel-
ligible" to all but the obj,cts of the address. We con-
ceive. however, Dr. Wiseman to mean that ever since
the Emancipation Act Roman Catholics had observed
their own pledges in all sincerity and without re-
serve, so as to anticipate with confidence a like
fidelity from others. If this is the purport of the
Cirdinal's observation, and we can imagine no other,
his version of the facts is truly Hibernian, and was
illustrated, indeed, with remarkable felicity at the
very opening of the transactions on Tuesday. One
of the plain stipulations of the "compact" of 1829, as
revised and agreed to by the Romish ecclesiastics
themselves, was that no Popish prelate should take or
use a title borne by any prelate of the Established
Church. Now, though the first resolution of the
meeting was to the effect that this compact had been
violated, the meeting itself was actually constituted,
inaugurated, and prodded over by a Popish prelate
styling himself and styled by the company " the Most
Rev. the Archbishop of Armagh," and this person
appended his signature in such form to the resolutions
of the assembly. The simple truth is, that this " be-
trayal of trusts" has been flagrantly the other
way. Those "generous and zealous advocates of re-
ligious liberty," whose defection Dr. Wiseman so
pointely laments, were compelled to confess from
their places in Parliament that they had been mis-
taken and deceived ; that they had relied upon
pledges which were hollow, and promisesw .
h ail
no foundation ; and that the darling policy of their
lives stood convicted of falsity by the results of expe-
rience. Lord John Russell acknowledged with re-
gret that he found reason to withdraw the confidence
he had placed in the sincerity and moderation of
Romish ecclesiastics ; and Lord Lyndhurst recapitu-
lated the instances in which the same parties had
sestematicely violated their own voluntary stipula-
tions. They had foresworn the adoption of certain
titles, and yet they first availed themselves of a
friendly AdMinistretion to infringe the law, and then
audaciously attempted to convert the accidents of
1 unge iuto the retlities of recognition. Tin 44

accepted limitations to the establishment of religious
communities, and yet they transgressed those limits-
tions without heed or scruple. They had consented
to regulations concerning the introduction of Jesuits,
and yet they set such consent absolutely at nought.
They recklessly falsified their compact both in letter
and spirit, taking what it gave them, and employing
the concession to procure the very license which they
had undertaken to forego. Checked at length in this
course of insidious aggression, they now pretend to
stand on the " defensive," and clamour for the terms
of •an agreement which they have been perpetually
evading. It was said in Parliament, and has been
cordially repeated in Dublin, that the restrictive
statute can never be put in force. The Pope's notni-
nees appear to be of this opinion, for it is to be ob-
Served that they have violated the law without tempta-
tion and of their own free choice. They did not wait
for any of those mysterious occasions on which we
are' told that the " offices of the Catholic religion"
would be nullified unless the officiating minister de-
scribed himself by the style of e temporal peer. They
at once created fir themselves the opportunity of col-
lision, broke the law, and boasted of the deed. Is it
really true that " a successful prosecution of these
illustrious personages is beyond the reach of any
Government under Heaven?" We think not. As
practical Englishmen, it appears to us supremely
feasible to recover a penalty from these offenders,
or in.default thereof to send them to gaol. Smith
O'Brien took the same lofty tone of nonaccount-
ability, but he was first put in a cellar and then sent to
Botany Bay. Doubtless religious "persecutions" are
hard things to carry out.- Queen Mary could do Hale-
in England, and King Charles little in Scotland ;
but we humbly conceive that Queen Victoria can re-
semble neither of these precedents. We are not en-
deavouring to enfore a test, or abolish a covenant.
We put no force on any man's conscience, and inter-
fere with no forms of worship. We simply enact
that territorial titles conferred by a foreign Court shall
not be assumed in this kingdom, and it can hardly,
we should think, enter into the list even of Irish
grievances that our honest old correspondent should
still sign himself " Hendren" instead of " Clifton."
At any rate, we shall not see the law of the realm
superseded by the resolutions of the Rotqnda without
trying a stroke in its favour. It is not 'the habit of
Englishmen to bluster; but we shall do our duty
without weakness in enforcing the decrees of the
Legislature, and pr. Cullen may prepare himself for
the consequences of his challenge.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE NORTH.
On Saturday the arrangements for the reception
and transit of the Q:aeen to the north, via the Great
Northern Railway, were in a far advanced state of
completion under the direction of Mr. Lewis Cubitt,
the engineer, and Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general
manager of the Great Northern line.
It is now definitely arranged that her Majesty will
arrive at the Great Northern R iilway from Osborne
at or as nearly as possible one o'clock on the afternoon
of Wednesday. She will be received at the atation in
Maiden-lane, whickwill be decorated with emblemati-
cal devices, in evergreens, dahlias, and other flowers
suitable to the occasion. Me. Denison, M.P., the
chairman of the company, together with the directors,
Mr. Lewis Cubitt, the engineer, Mr. Mowatt, the
secretary, and Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general ma-
nager, will conduct her Majesty and the royal
suite to a magnificently fitted, although temporary
suite of apartments erected over the station,
under the direction of Mr. Cubitt. It is arranged
that the royal train shall he in readiness at two o'clock
precisely, in order to give her Majesty and her Royal
Consort time to partake of the splendidd6euner which
is to be provided for her by the company on her
arrival. _ _

The-
royal train will consist of twelve carriages,
namely, three ordinary, although entirely new firet-class
carriages ; the three royal saloons, one for her Majesty
and Royal Consort, another for his Royal Highne.s the
Prince of Wales, and the third for the royal suite;
two break vans and four carriage trucks, for the con-
veyance of the luggage of the royal party and suite.
The Qaeen's carriage will be surmounted by a splen-
did silk royal standard, four feet six by two feet,
is having been ascertained that all the bridges and
tunnels on the line will enable them to carry a flag of
such dimensions and leave feur or five inches to epare.
The train will be preceded by a pilot engine for
greater security, and will be d lawn by an entirely
new and powerful engine, driven by Mr. Sturrock,
the locomotive superintendent.
The royal carrisg-s at present remain at the esta-
blishment of Mr. Williams, the railway coach-builder,
in the Gray's-inn•road ; but the directors have re-
solved to take them down to-day, on a trial trip, as
far as Peterborough.
The royal saloon carriages are quite in keeping
externally with those of the ordinary first-class car-
riages of the line, being all constructed of teak wood,
and not of Spanish mahogany, as erroneously stated
in a daily contemporary. The length of the royal
saloon carriage is 18 feet 6 inches by 7 feet 6 inches
in width. It is lined with white brocaded silk of
Indian manufacture, with raised scarlet flowers; and
as an evidence of texture and value of the material,
we are assured that, if it were made in England, the
cost would be at the rate of three guineas per yard.
The windows are of the most beautiful plate glass,
and the whole of the furniture, as well as the retiring
room attached to the saloon, is of walnut-tree wood,
the chairs and ottomans being covered with the same
material as the lining of the carriage. The carriage
is lighted from a lantern with a powerful refl-ctor
over the retiring reom, and on the opposite side of
the saloon is a magnificent mirror; reflecting the light
back again, giving the apartment, for that the car-
riage really is, a most brilliant and elegant appear-
ance. The only exterior distinction is a broad gold
moulding round the carriage, with a splendidly gilt
crown and coat of arms over each doorway, and the
panels exquisitely painted with the Orders of the Bath,
the Garter, and the other orders of knighthood.
The Prince of Wales's saloon and retiring-room is
of equal dimensions, and equally elegant, with the ex-
ception that the lining is pure white brocaded silk,
instead of having any coloured flowers, and the sa-
loon for the royal suite is very similar. It may be
observed, however, that the curtains are of beautiful
green silk, affixed to gilt rods, and the saloons are
fitted with wine-coolers, chiffJoiers, conches, /kJ., and
all the appurtenances of an elegantly furnished apart-
ment.
Nothing definite has yet transpired as to the route
her Majesty will tak in consequence of the shutting
up of the New-road in so sudden and extraordinary a
manner by the authorities of St. Pancras ; but with
respect to B ikar-street, which is under the control of
the vestry of St. Moylebone, we are authorised to
state that the only cause of that thoroughfare being
out of repair was the fact that a considerable p
has been removed for the purpose of laying IleN gas-
pipes, but that work having been completed, the au-
thorities have intimated to the Master of the Horse
that the street has already been placed in a proper
condition for her Majesty to pass over it on the 27th
instant.

LATEST PARTICULARS --ATURDkY NIGHT.

It appe ire that all the arratetretnents in tale with re•
ference to the arrival of her Mtj-stv the Q teen at the
terminus of the Great Northern Rail Nay direct from
the Nine Elms Station of the South Western R way,
were, at a late hour this evening, set aside. The alte-
ration was Hot conveyed to Mr. Seymour Clarke, the
general manager of the line, until between eight and
nine o'clock ; and the substance of the communica-
tion was, that instead of taking luncheon at the ter-
minus of the Great Northern Railway, as she origi-
nally intended, her Majesty, on reaching the Nine
Elms station of the South-Western line, will proceed
to B ickingham Palace, where she will first p trtake
of refreshment, and then proceed to the Great Nor-
thern Railway, arriving at the platform at two o'clock
—the original time appointed for her departure.
In consequence of these alterations, the works in
reference to the preparations of the apartments for
the reception of her Majesty on arriving at the King's-
cross station have been eountermanded, and there can
be no doubt the route to the station as originally in-
tended, will, in consequence of the Queen going to
Buckingham Palace, be entirely altered also. iler
Majesty will pass up Maiden-lane from King's-cross,
and enter the station at the fourth gate, and at once
enter the Royal saloon carriage, which will be in rea-
diness to receive her.
The directors have given orders for the erection ofs
a gallery on the platform, to which '2OO or 00 ladies
and gentlemen will have the privilege of entrée by
ticket only; and the offt,.:ers of the company are to
have the privilege of ranging themselves on the op-
posite side of the station.
The preparations for the reception.
_of her Majesty
at Doncaster are upon a most magnificent scale. y
permission of the company, the cocrparation have
erected a capacious gallery on the
p.lakorm, which will
accommodate several hundred ladies and gentlemen
to witness the ceremony of the presentation of an
address to her Majesty on her arrival. She will also
be received on the arrival of the train by a guard of
honour stationed on the platform. The distance of
the Angel Ina, where her Maj'isty and her Royal
consort are to sleep, is about a quarter of a mile from
the station, and within that shorkdistance no less than
three triumphal arches are in course of erection, which
will have suitiblo iaNriptioAs and E OVICeS, very

bailie in D-- Ater is undergoing a thorough rein°.
io vata nf ; and the corporation hive
ordered a lay 31 illumination and a grand, display of
fii4works cts place in the evening, in honour of
the event of 'Vi4Majesty making that town her resting
place for the Light. In addition to the military and
local police, sixty men of the railway police, drafted
from the metropolis and other stations on the line, will
be oni,duty at Doncaster during the stay of her Ma-
jesty, under the orders of Mr. William:, the railway
police superintendent.
The greatest credit is due to the authorities of the
Great Northern Railway for the precautions they
have taken to prevent either delay, accident, or inns*.
venience of any kind to the royal travllers throughout
their progress as is exhibited by the instructions
issued from the general manager's office to every sta•
tion master or otber official to whom such knowledge
of the royal progress is necessary ; they are as follow:
