NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Polasmount, TiltfILSDAY.—The Arrogant, 46, Captain
Robinson, rebent sails to-day, and remains ready for sea.
It is expected she will go to Spithead on Saturday, and will
be " paid down" previous to sailing for Lisbon.
The Vulcan steam-troop frigate, Master-Commander Penn,
has been undocked at Sheerness, after being coated with the
composition of Mr. Peacock, the Superintendent of the,
-zouthampton Decks, for the prevention of the growth of
submarine animalcules, &c., which preparation has been emi-
nently succe-sful on the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
vessels, and is hghly spoken of on foreign stations as sup-
plying the desideratum, long felt, of an antidote to the foul-
ing of the bottoms of vessels. Captain Jervis, R.N., Super-
intendent of the Convicts at Bermuda, in a letter just re-
ceived, says this preparation "answers admirably, both on
the Governor's boat, which is of wood, and on the copper
with which mine is sheathed, and you know this place
(Bermuda) is desperate for foul bottoms."
The Seaflower cutter. Lieutenant-Commander Fletcher,
has been taken into the Camber-dock to-day to receive a new
bowsprit.
The Argus.steam-sloop has been stripped of her jury
rigging and dim-lasted, preparatory to being docked and
copnered.
The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, Master-Commander
King, fitting for troop service, will he pndocked on Saturday.
She has been fitted with fidded topmast.

Great excit...ment was caused in York on the morning of
Tuesday last by a rumour being spread abroad that a gen-
tl,manCy-lookiug man had been apprehended by the police
on a charge of having murdered his wile, at Todmorden, by
administering poison to her.
The report was verified at noon, by the prisoner being
taken down to the Guildhall,wherta be,fore. the Lord Mayor
and T. W. Wilson, Esq., he was charged, by the name of
John Cooper, with having, on the 21 of .January last, mur-
dered his wife, Jane Cooper, by the means above stated.
Little or nothing, however, transpired there, for the accused
had been brought up only for the purpose of Mr. Chalk, the
superintendent of the York police, asking for a remand until
Thursday, which was granted ; the prisoner, who asserted
his entire ignorance of the crimc, imputed to him, having a
ri quest of his also complied with, viz., that he in the mean-
time might be allowed to consult with a professional adviser.
It is stated that Co, per was formerly head assistant at
Lincoln Grammar Schaal, and that since then he has resided
at Stanfield-hall, near Todmorden, which is on the Yorkshire
side of the border between that county and Lancashire,
where he conducted a boarding-school f.r young gentlemen.
He is about 30 vears of age, and married a Miss Ripley, of
Tockwith, near Y'ork. His own parents reside at Kirk Ham-
merton, near this city. Ile has been married about tour
years, and has two children—one about six weeks old, and
the other about two years. In the latter part of December
last his wife gave birth to their second child, and she died
on the 2d of January last.
The remains of the deceased were brought to Hilton to be
buried among her relatives, and Cooper had remained in this
neighbourhood since.
Some three or four days ago a suspicion arose that Mrs.
Cooper's death had been caused by some foul means, and
this suspicion resulted in an application being made to the
coroner, J. Wood, Esq., of this city, who on Tuesday last
opened an inquiry at Bilton, which stands adjourned until
Monday next. The result of the inquiry, as far as it went
on Tuesday, was, that the coroner issued his warrant for the
exhumation of the body of the deceased, with a view to an 1
analysis of the contents of the stomach.
With respect to the apprehension of the husband, we find
that police-sergeant Heap, from Todmorden, came to York
on Sunday last, it beeing supposed that Cooper would arrive
on business on the following day. The superintendent of the
York police was consequently communicated with, and he
having taken steps to search for the accused, it was found
that be had arrivet at York, and that he had taken
up his residence at the Black Swan Hotel, in Coney-street,
where he had represented himself as a clergyman wishing to
obtain a marriage licence. On Monday evening Cooper at-
tended one of the Wesleyan chapels in this city, and, having
been followed about \from place to place by an officer in un-
dress, he was finally apprehended between ten and eleven
o'clock at night on a warrant issued by the Lord Mayor.
As in all such cases, a motive for alleged murder has been
sought for; and the one assigned is that the accused has
been on very intimate terms with the daughter of a Wes-
leyan minister at Alford, iu Lincolnshire, to whom he was
anxious to be allied.

The 2 :st annual general meeting of this institution was
held yesterday, at the office, No. 76, Welbeck-street, Caven-
dish-square; Sir James John Hamilton, Bart., in the chair.

that the progress of the bank during the past year had been
of a satisfactory description, no less than 2,166 new deposits
having been made in the last year. 21,110 deposit accounts
remained open on the 20th of November last, of which 16,104
held balances averaging less than 31. Os. 3d. each.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—l observe a paragraph in your paper of the 3d,
stating that the strike of the seamen of the North still
continues, and that there is no prospect of an arrange-
ment, as both parties stand out for the rates respec-
tively fixed by them; in contradiction to which, I beg
to state that no fixed rates were ever put forward by the
ship Owners, and that the rates of wages asked by the
seamen were conceded in a very few days, in fact most
respectable shipowners regret that sailors'
ever come so low, though how long wagesbe able to
should
they ,nay
pay the advance, and keep their ships navigating at the
present miserable freights is another question.
The present movement of the seamen is, therefore,
now confined to their opposition to the shipping-offices,
and their disinclination to enter into any contract in or
through them, or even to sign the coasting articles in
the form required by the Mercantile Marine Act.
I am, Sir, yours truly,

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—For Asthma and Bad Coughs
Holloway's Pills are a Positive Cure.—At this inclement and
feggy season of the year coughs and colds are more rife than
at any other period, and thot.e afflicted with asthma suffer with
great severity ; therefore it is well to know that Holloway's
Pills will cure the most inveterate cases, their efficacy having
been tested under various circumstances, and in almost every
clime, proving them to be the most successful remedy that ever
was used. The peculiar properties they possess have the effect
of throwing off the phlegm, relieving the chest, giving a per-
fect freedom of respiration, and thus inducing a healthy action
of the lungs.—Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

4. The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
bAyaw see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in he-
Alf or his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage to which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the suhjecta Just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
ckn matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
r' cterise nature's nobility. Thu writer evidently belongs, though he
ka4 marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelia, Man-
ner/es, and Smythes."—Observer.
"' Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
hur.beanty,'and is written in pure and forcipie language, with great
good tate and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gagfrg novels which the present season has produced. 01 the cha-
saater of Amelia Ross we have already spoken,. and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies Ni;lio play conspicuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music aoi poetry ; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post..
