NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., promoted by the
death of Admiral Cuchet, is third and youngett son of
the late Cummissiuner Fanshawe, and is brother-in-
law of the Admiral of the Fleet and the late Admiral
Sir Robert Stopford. According to O'Byrne be must
have served aft tat since his first entry into tin nary
in 1804, about twenty-five years; but we beleve he
is one of the youngest, it not the youngess flag
officer in the navy. Entering the navy in 1804 in his
brother-in-law's ship Imperieux, 74, he removetEn De-
cember, 1806, to the Salvador del Mundt), the fig-ship
of Admiral Young, at Plymouth, and on his remtval to
the Prince of Wales, 98, bearing the flag of Lord Gam-
bier, attended the expedition to Copenhagen in August,
1807. He then rejoined Captain Martin in the Implacable,
74; and on August 26, 1808, took part, as midship-
man, in a gallant action of twenty minutes with the
Russian 74-gun ship Sewolod, which was completely
silenced, and in the end, with the assistance of the Cen-
taur, 74, fl,g-ship of Sir Sam. Hood, ouptured and burnt,
in sight of the whole Russian fleet, near Rogerswick,
after a total loss to the enemy of 303 men, and to the
Implacable Individually of 6 killed and 26 weeinded.
In 1809-10 we find Mr. Fanshawe co-operating with
the patriots on the north coast of hemp, in the
Amazon, 38, Captain William Parker, end afterwards
serving for two years at the Cape, latterly as acting
lieutenant, in the Scipion, 74, Lion, 64, sad President,
33, flag-ships of Rear-Admiral Stoptord, under whom,
in the Seipion, he contributed to the reduction of
Java in August, 1811. Oa being officially promoted,
April 22, 1813, he became flag-lieutenant in the
Prince Frederick, 74, to Sir T. B. Martin, then second
in command at Plymouth, whence, hovever, he Boon
sailed for North America, in the Endymi)e, 48, Captain
Henry Hope.' While on that station Mi. Fanshawe, in
1814, served in the boats at the capture of the Meteor
privateer, of 3
guns and 32 men; he also assisted Captain
Richard Coons in gallantly destroying, tear Pettipaque
Point, on the River Connecticut, 27 of tie enemy's ves-
sels, three of which were heavy Privtteers, and the
aggregate burden of the whole upwards of 5,000 tons;
and was again employed in the boats in an unsuccessful
attack upon the Prince do Neufchatel, -American pri-
vateer, which cost the British a loss of 28 killed and
37 badly wounded. On Jan. 15, 1815, se further par-
ticipated in the capture, after a close action of two
hours and a half, with a loss to the Fsidyinion of 11
killed and 14 wounded, and to her opponent of 35 killed
and 70 wounded, of the President frigate, of 56 guns
and 465 men. Being promoted to the rank of com-
mander, Oct. 2, 1815, Captain Fanstswe who for
a few weeks had re-officiated as fly;-lieutenant to
Sir T. B. Martin, in the Ganges, 74, was next, in the
course of 1816, appointed to the acting osnamand of the
Pique, Juuon, and Mmander friga;es, in the first of
which he made a voyage to the West Indies. His con-
firmation to post rank taking place Oct. 17, in the same
year, he afterwards joined, November 26, 1„18, the

connected with the different operatioes, particularly

IMPORTATION OF PEAS AND VEGETABLES FROM
THE CONTINENT.—Covent-garden Market seldom presented
such a display of hot-house fruits, vegetables, and flowers,
as yesterday, considering the inclement state of the weather.
The arrivals of green peas from Belgium and Holland have
been very considerable; at present Is. a peck is the charge,
but next week the price will be less than one-half. Fruit
and vegetables of every description arrive daily by the conti-
nental steamers, and at low prices, which shows the benefit
of free trade.

FIRE AT THE GEORGE TAVERN, BA NRSIDE.--
Yesterday morning, shortly before one o'clock, a fire broke
out in the George Tavern, Bankside, Southwark, lately
termed Marshal Haynau's Retreat." The flames originated
from some cause not clearly known, in the second floor, and
were first discovered by one of the lodgers. Fortunately,
Mr. llitchcox, the proprietor of the premises, was up at the
time. Not a moment was lost in raising an alarm, and
sending for the assistance of the firemen. The flames, how-
ever,
travelled so fiercely that they speedily broke through
the floor above, and also through the roof, when the re-
flection could be seen from most parts of London. This
caused a turn-out of the engines, and plenty of water having
been obtained, the firemen set to work, and eventually suc-
ceeded in staying the progress of the fire, but not until it
had communicated with the second floor of Mr. G. Gibbon's
private residence, next door. The damage done is thus
officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :—" Second floor and
attics of the George burned out, the contents destroyed;
part of the roof off, and the rest of the building, &ancl.,agse-
verely damaged by water; insured in the Monarch Fire.

PREVENT/ON OF Loss OF LIFE BY DROWNING.—
WooLIN-len, JUNE 11.—Some experiments were made to-day
before Colonel Campbell, Capta n Anderson, Captain Faddy,
Lieutenant Rowley and several other officers, with the view
of testing the efficiency of Messrs. Silver and Co.'s appliances,
as patented by Lawrie, for preventing loss of life by drown-
ing, and which are to be seen in the Exhibition. The prin-
cipal of these consist of belts for the person, of floats to pre-
vent the sinking of boats, and of floatable articles of deck and
cabin requisites, such as deck sense or cushions, mattresses,
and a portmanteau. The distinguishing feature of the belt
and boat float is that, consistently with portability, it is a
cylinder of stout but ordinary duck, extended over disks of
light wood which divide it into compartments, so that in the
event of one or two being punctured by nails, splinters, or
otherwise, the safety of the wearer or boat would still be se-
cure. None of the articles were tested to the utmost of their
buoyancy, notwithstanding which, one boat-float buoyed up
weights to the amount of 981bs. The cabin mattress, 6 feet
by 2 feet, formed of 12 compartments, not purposely inflated,
but stuffed so as to prevent the escape of air or the percola-
tion of water, easily floated 1821b5., sufficient to support
a number of persons, if wrecked, for an indefinite
time. A mattrass, consisting of four compartments. buoyed
up 981b5.; a horse-hair pillow, tBlbs. ; a small deck seat or
cushion, 141bs. Great interest was excited by one of the
assistants of Messrs. Silver, of Cornhill, getting into a port-
manteau, which, though of the ordinary size, is so fitted up
as to allow of the bottom shifting, and the legs, protected by
mackintosh, protruding, with a similar protection
o enclosingt
the waist. In this novel boat the exhibitor floated bu atthe
his ease. A boat mattrass was also tested, and elicited
surprise and admiration of the company present.ltconsists

LIBERATION OF KOSSIITH.—On Tuesday evening
a public meetingof the inhabitants of Glasgow was held in
the City-hall, called
by the Lord Provost, in consequence of
a requisition sent him for the purpose, to memorialize the
British Government to interpose its influence to procure the
liberation of the illustrious Kossuth and his brave Corn-
panions, and their restoration to all the rights and privi-
leges of free citizens of the world. The following re-
solutions were unanimously agreed to :—" That this meet-
ing deeply sympathise with all such as are the victims of
civil and ecclesiastical despotism throughout the world, but
in the meantime feel specially called upon to extend a becom-
ing amount of hospitality to those exiles who have taken an
active part in the late struggle for independence in Hungary.
and who of their own free choice have sought a home and
an honest means of living in this land, so famous for the
shelter it has afforded alike to the oppressor and the op-
pressed of the various nations on the face of the globe.'
" That this meeting of the citizens of Glasgow present a re-
spectful memorial to Lora Palmerston, her Majesty's Secre-

MR, THACKERAY'S LECTURES.
Mr. Thackeray delivered the third of his series of
lectures on Thursday, to an audience more numerous
and distinguished than ever. The humorist ho
dealt with this time was Sir Richard Steele, Addi-
son's friend and fellow-labourer in the " Spectator,"
Steele is less known and read now-a-days than any
-of his famous contemporaries. His comedies are
grown as obscure as his predecessor poor Otway's al-
most----which is saying a great deal. His lustre as an
essayist has been outshone by that of Addison. But in
his own style of writing he is unrivalled; and his peculiar
character and his strange history made him a very good
subject fur Mr. Thackeray's lectures—lectures, be it
noted, not so much intended to be literary as social--,
discourses of social philosophy. Thursday's one was a
kind of sermon, as picturesque as a historical novel--a
charitable sermon on a loveable sinner.
He began by showing us that such a being as a perfect
man would be, to us, intolerable, and, as regarded him-
self, a kind of anomaly. He would have no joy, because
no sorrow; no repentance, because incapable of fault. He
could not, as perfectly wise, love one person more than
another; he would have no other emotion when on the
mountain than on the plain. Our faults were our condi-
tions of existence. From our pain came our pleasure. So
much we derived from what, we called, for instance, our
selfishness ! We did nor love people for their virtues
only ; nobody's dearest friends were the greatest and
highest people ho knew. Why did the lather like his
little Tommy better than other peple's children—his
far, cleverer school-ftows ? This varier' ' of senti-
ments fl
he referred to what may be called
our selfish-
ness. The deduction he dr,,w from this opeeing was
the propriety of a charitable cone uetien of =Fifa
shortcomings. He a,lted s) rcpathy with Dick Steele as
one of the most kind-hearted of men. so fond
was that man of seeing happiness everywhere
about hins
that in his old age, when, having outlived wife, fortune,
fame, and almost everything but his good heart, he was
living down in Wales on the remnant of a property, he,
used to have the people of the village dancing before
him, and give a gown to the best performer. It was
beautiful to think of such a life ending in such a calm,
glorious sunset.
Ho now reviewed this chequered career. Steele was
the son of an Irish gentleman, and was sent an orphan
to the Charter-house School. There Addison was his
head boy. Perhaps there was nobody of all the great
men one met in life that ever inspired one with such.
wonder and reverence as one's head boy at school;
Steele had Addison for his head boy for life—loved and
reverenced him from first to last. In all probability
Dicky Steele at the school was the most good-for-
nothing amiable little fellow there—contracting pecuniary
liabilities with sellers of lollipops, and borrowing
money from every boy who had any to lend. All this
might be presumed from his subsequent proceedings—
and also his castigation, perhaps by the very instrument
of torture which he (the lecturer) had (as an amateur)
some time since inspected. Steele went to Oxford;
left it without taking a degree; became a private in the
Guards, and got a commission; became Captain Steele,
and had places and various groat successes. But he la-
boured under a fatal incapability of taking care of him-
selfything.
The various scenes in Steele'a life Mr. Thackeray left
and returned to at intervals, as suited his reflections.
He alluded with much humour to the " Christian Hero."
Steele used to be laughed at while engaged on this pious
and edifying performance; and, " indeed," said Mr.
Thackeray, with his satirical naivete, theologian in
liquor is not a very respectable object!" Then Dicky
was always in debt; he fitted up a house very elegantly
for a wife whom he adored, but the landlord
could not get his rent. Having failed in keeping
up one establishment, the worthy man and moral teacher
opened a still finer one in Bloomsbury-square. There ho
gave high loyal entertainments ; and on one occasion.
having been carried home and taken up stairs by the
chairmen, insisted on politely accompanying them to the
door, after which he at last went to bed. He had, of
course, fits of great penitence. But the worst was that
besides other duns—Duty and Virtue had to knock at
Dickey Steele's door, and go away finding it in vain.
Mr. Thackeray particularised Steele's letters with em-
phasis. Most of our epistolary remains, he remarked,
from Cicero's to Walpole's, were written with an obvious
eye to posterity. Steele's were clearly genuine private
letters, intended only for the eye of -the person to whom
they were sent.

In his literary capacity Steele was to be considered
as the founder of that style of sentimental humour
which delighted us in Yorick, in the Caxtons, and in
little Dombey. Mr. Thackeray quoted a delightful
passage, in which he describes his going into the
room where his father's body lay, us a child, and
meeting his mother there. And he took occasion to
compare him here with Swift and Addison. He showed
how when Swift inlired terror and melancholy, and
stamped with disdain—when Addison, too, was sad in
his different way—Steelo's lesson was human love and
pity. These were what he gathered from the contem-
plation of the mysteries of the grave and the future.
Mr. Thackeray drew, in conclufon, a satirical and
facetious picture of the manners of fashionable people
in that time, founded on S ift's " Polite Conversation,"
&c. He concluded the lecture—perhaps the most philo-
sophical he hasyet delivered—by calling tor a sympathetic
consideration of Steele ; a kindly view of one of the
kindest-hearted men that ever lived.
The lt.cLure was heal d with great attention and applause

PARLOUR MAGIC.—THE FEATHER TRICK Ex
-
PLAINS!) —Few of the illusions performed by Al. Houdin
caused more astonishment than this -one, yet no trick ever
exhibited is more simple or easier of performance to the
merest novice in the magic arts. A large cambric or white
silk handkerchief is produced, and given to 'ho company
for inspection; on its being returned to the magician he
immediately brings from it several large plumes of feathers.
The trick is performed thus: procure three or four large
plumes of feathers from the military equipment warehouses,
such as are worn by the officers or those of the Foot Guards
at the side \of their caps; take off your coat, then holding a
couple of the feathers in each hand so that they will tall
towards the side of the arms, put the coat on again; this is
easily done, as the feathers ;squeeze, up to a very small com-
pass. Thus equipped, you advance to the audience, and,
taking the handkerchief, throw it over the oue hand and cuff
of the coat, and with the other hand draw out the feather
from the sleeve ; the feather resuming its original bulik
entirely misguides the lookers-on as to its previous position.
One feather produced, the handkerchief is thrown carelessly
over the other hand, and another brought forth in like
man-
ner, which can be repeated four times without causnif, orthy
sus-
picion. This new and ingeniously simple illusion is causing
of the inventor's magic renown.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterdsy as the Queen
of the Thames steamer, running to Southend, w as proceeding
down the river, a man was observed to jump overboard
between Oldhaven and Shellhaven. lie was first observed
b. y a lady, a passenger in the same boat. The life-buoy was
immediately thrown out, but the unfortunate man had sunk.
lie wore a dark coat and a drab:coloured waistcoat. Two
of the crew, named Leach and Sparrow, who observed him
in the water, stated that be was about the middle age, and
in height about five feet eight inches. When the steamer
stopped and lowered her boat to search, nothing was observed
but his hat; the name of the maker being wanting this af-
forded no clue to his identity. It
appears that the unhappy
man entered into conversation with one of the crew during
the voyage, and observed that about this time last year a
jumped
mao
overboard, which marred all the day's pleasure.
In a few minutes afterwards he followed the melancholy
example. It was blowing hard, and in more than forty feet
water.
