Tho Excellent, gunnery-ship, was paid off at Ports-
mouth on Monday, when Captain Chads made the ship's
company a most appropriate speech, praising them for
their good and orderly conduct; which, we can safely
say, was well deserved, for though the men belonging
to her were much on shore on leave, it is seldom that
any complaint has been made against them. They have
on all occasions been remarkably peaceable and well
behaved. The following men have received long-ser-
vice pensions and gratuities :—James Bath, gunner's-
mate, 251. per annum, medal, and gratuity of 71.; John
Tarrant, gunner's-mate, 301. Bs. per annum, medal, and
gratuity of 151.; George Parker, boatswain's-mate,
251. 163. per annum, medal, and gratuity of 71.; John
Caselick, blacksmith, 31/. 12s. per annum, medal, and
erstuity of 151.; Richard Lasseter, carpenter's•mate,
30/. Bs. per annum, medal, and gratuity of 151.; George
Benwell, ship's corporal, 261. 4s. per annum, medal, and
gratuity of 71. Increased pensions—Weeks White,

tional master-at-arms, 421. 12s. per annum.
Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, is
ordered into Portsmouth Harbour to-day, for repairs and
alterations.

Hecate, 6, Commander Hand, went into Portsmouth
Harbour to coal, on Monday, and it is said will sail for
Lisbon. She waits for final orders.

Centaur, 6, steam-frigate, Acting Captain Patten, was
paid off at Po mouth yesterday afternoon. Those
men that wishedlo go to Plymouth have been conveyed
there in the Sprightly, steam-tender, Master Commander
Allen.

Tiger, steam-sloop, is swinging her compasses, but it
is not yet certain when she will be tried in the Channel.
She will be tried light, i. e., with only 100 tons of coal
on board to test her stability.
Trafalgar, 120, Captain Stopford, is ordered from
Sheerness to Portsmouth, to fill up her full complement
(1,000) for the Mediterranean.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Fairy royal yacht,
Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, embarked the
Queen, the Prince Consort, the Royal Family, and the
King of the Belgians and family, this morning from
Osborne, at about ten o'clock, and brought them to Gos-
port, under the usual salutes and ceremonies from the
fleet and garrison. The royal party were received on
disembarking i❑ the Royal Clarence victualling estab-
lishment by the heads of the naval and military depart-
' ments, and a guard of honour of the 95th Regiment.
The special train, in charge of Mr. Stovin, the manager,
and Mr. Beattie, engineer of the South-Western Rail-
way Company, left with the royal party for London at
a quarter to eleven, and arrived at Nine Elms at oue
o'clock.
Last evening the royal yacht Victoria and Albert
steamed up to Spithead with the royal standard flying,
having some of the Royal Family on board. A salute
was fired from the ships on the occasion.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT NORWICH.
NORWICH, TUESDAY.—Yesterday morning Mr. Yar-
rington having procured lurchers, bloodhounds, and
other dogs of scent, proceeded with a body of constables
to search all the fields and hedges in the suburbs of the
city. The result was the discovery of intestines, lungs,
and a portion of the viscera, all of which were imme-
diately submitted to medical inspection.
Dr. Copeman gave it as his opinion that the lungs
were those of a healthy person.
During the whole of yesterday and to-day pieces of
flesh have been brought into the city station-house by
persons who are conducting the search, all of which the
surgeons at @flea declare to be portions of the same body.
They are placed in spirits of wine for preservation.
It has been clearly ascertained that the work has not
been that of a " resurrectionist," for it is established on
the best medical testimony that the body has never been
interred. It has also been proved to the satisfaction of
the surgeons, that the person, portions of whom have
been found, died by violence, the hands being clenched
and the toes contracted, which would not have been the
case i❑ death from natural causes.
This morning a young man was brought before the
Mayor, at the City Police Court, charged with being an
accessory alter the murder. The precise nature of the
examination did not transpire, as the inquiry was of a
private character. After hearing the evidence of a man
to whom it was alleged the prisoner had made some
statement, the magistrates did not feel themselves justi-
fied in detaining the man. He was, therefore, discharged .

Tin TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF JULY 28.—The
solar eclipse which will take place on the 28th of July, 1851,
will be partial in Great Britain, but total over a large por-
tion of the European continent. The eclipse will commence
at Greenwich at three minutes past two o'clock in the after-
noon, and terminate at a quarter-past four; magnitude,
eighteenth on the northern limb. The difference of time be-
tween Greenwich and Hereford is about eleven minutes. So
that the eclipse will commence in this city about twenty-five
minutes pass one, and terminate at four minutes past four,
true time. The " railway time is of course the same as
Greenwich time.—Bristol Gazelle.

DUBLIN CUSTOMS.—The Customs duties received
at the port of Dublin for the week ended June 2S, were
12,.142/., viz.—Tea, 5,866/. ; sugar, 1,006/. ; wine, 1,2601.;
spirits 427/. tobacco, 2,6091. miscellaneous, 1,272/.

Our accounts from the United States are again po-
litically unimportant. From San Francisco our ac-
counts of the 15th of May in detail confirm the late
disastrous tidings. San Francisco, besides being
almost destroyed by fire, had experienced a shock of
an earthquake.
From the mines the accounts are represented as
prosperous, more especially with regard to the qualltz
rock yield.

Fresh skirmishes had occurred with the Indians.
Large numbers of Chinese were arriving at San
Francisco. ;-
EX-change on London, 48 to .44
From the Isthmus of Panama we learn- that the
season was healthy, with little rain.
Our mercantile accounts from New York are of a
somewhat chequered character, serious fears being
entertained that the conflagration at San Francisco,
so destructive to goods shipped from New York,
joined to insurance losses, would embarrass many firms.
From Baltimore we learn that the dry weather was
doing serious injuvry to the Virginia tobacco crops.
Havannah accounts of the 16th ult., received at
New York by the steamer Pizarro, are unimportant.
Jamaica accounts, of the 13th ult., announce a fresh
outbreak of cholera, more especially at Westmorland,
Falmouth. Deaths were numerous, though the dis-
ease does not appear to be as malignant as last year.
259 Africa s had arrived from the Bth. His Excel-
lency the Governor had prorogued the Parliament to
the 15th of July. Much rain had fallen.
Vera Cruz accounts of the 9th of June announce
the arrival of the surveying party from Tehuantepec.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, JUNE 21.

Money and Stock Markets—Government Securities
are in request at full prices. 25,000 dolls. United States
Sixes of '67 sold at the second board at 1164; Fives of
'53 have been in demand at 101 to 1014. The Coupon
bonds of 1868 are in request at 120; New York City
Fives are in demand, and all offering have been taken
at 1044 to 106 for those of 1870 to 1875, and 1014 to
102 for 1858 to 1860. The heavy shipments of specie
by every steamer leaving this port create some appre-
hension in money circles, which appears to be more sen-
sibly felt by the banks than by private capitalists. We
learn that many of the banks have again to curtail
their accommodations, and are discounting only about
one-half of their receipts. If this movement becomes
general, it will create some considerable stringency and
enhance the value of money materially.
Foreign exchanges have been in fair request. Bills on
London sold at 1104 to 1104; Paris, 5 081 to 5 074;
Amsterdam, 41,1 to 42; Hamburgh, 36i to 37; Bremen,
794 to 79,i.
Cotton (from the shipping lists)—There has been a
steady demand for the better descriptions for home use,
and yesterday there was something done for export to

NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 20.
The sales of cotton this morning were 1,000 bales.
The Niagara's news has just been received, and produced
no decided effect. The market continues firm. The
sales of the week have been only 7,500 bales—the small-
est business for many months.

CHARLESTON, JUNE 19.
The sales of cotton to-day have been only 170 bales,
and for the week 2,755, ranging from 6c. to Bc. The
market is firm. The week's receipts have been 4,000
bales, and the stock on hand amounts to 21 bales. Our
quotations for middling fair are 91c.; and fully fair, 10c.
Freights to Liverpool are heavy, and vessels are filling
at d.
Business generally is very dull.

SINGULAR ACCIDENTS.—OGI Monday afternoon and
yesterday morning the inhabitants of Roupell-street, Lam-
beth, were greatly alarmed owing to the following accidents
occurring, one of which was nearly attended with disastrous
consequences to six or eight children. It appears that whilst
a man was engaged painting a large brick and timber build-
ing, which extends into the above street, and which is used
for a stabling and provender stores, he experienced a strange
sensation, similar to a vibration of the earth. He at once
suspected that the building was about to fall, which induced
him to make a hasty retreat down the ladder. He had just
time to gain terra firma and to remove the children who
were playing under the wall, when the whole building fell
with a fearful crash. Had it not been for the activity dis-
played by the painter, it is quite probable that most of the
children would have been buried amidst the rubbish. As it
was, about fourteen cows that were in the lower floor, were
buried under the ellbris ; but a number of men having been
set to work, they soon succeeded in rescuing the affrighted
animals some of them being much cut and bruised by the
fallen materials, but none were killed. Yesterday morning
another similar erection, but in a more distant part of the
yard, also fell, but fortunately was not attended with more
disastrous results than the first occurrence. The sinking of
one of the end walls, it is presumed, caused both buildings
to settle, and hence the cause of the mischief.
THE NEW AIR GUN.—Mr. Arstall, of Birming
ham, exhibited, on Friday, to a number of scientific gentle-
men in Liverpool, his newly•invented air-gun, by means of
which from 150 to 200 bullets may be discharged in rapid
succession, without other ammunition than a small resorvoir
of air, carried by the operator, attached by a gutta-percha
tube to the stock of the gun. The whole apparatus is lighter
than a common musket, and the inventor perforated a thick
plank with some scores of bullets, in a few seconds, indenting
a plate of iron at the back by each ball. For house-defence
this weapon seems well calculated, especially in rural dis-
tricts, or thinly-peopled colonies.
CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST AN EMIGRATION
AGENT.—The Manchester magistrates a few days since in-
vestigated a charge against Samuel Saunders, the well-
known emigration agent, preferred by John Booth, recently
returned from America. The offence alleged by Booth was
that Saunders had obtained money from him by false pre-
tences respecting the quality of some land in a " fine
rolling" country, upon which he had paid an instalment.
Booth's portion of this "fine rolling" country proved to
be a hill which took three hours to ascend. At the c'ose of
the investigation Saunders was committed to the assizes for
trial, but was admitted to bail on finding two sureties in
501. each, and himself in 1001. It was stated at the
Borough Court on Tuesday, by Mr. Beswick, chief superin-
tendent, that he had gone to America, not choosing to stand
his trial. He had left information with some party that
he should not allow his bondsmen to suffer.—Manchester
Examiner.

NOVEL RUDDER.--Captain Comstock, of the
United States mail steam-ship, has placed in the Liverpool
Exchange Rooms the model of a rudder, constructed by
Captain Lawton, of the ship Warren, bound from Glasgow
to New York, and by which that vessel, with a valuable
cargo and 150 passengers, who steered safely tc her port of
destination after having lost her rudder 2,000 miles from
New York. It is constructed chiefly of rope, with lashings
of wood and iron, and was attached to the tiller by a series
of chains, with a couple of blocks mist ropes.—Liverpool
, ChroAidc.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied by
the Ministers, has left Paris for Poitiers, in order to
be present at the inauguration of the railway which
connects. Poitiers with Tours.
The two Committees of the Budget and of the
Railway from Paris to Avignon assembled yesterday
to discuss the proposition of M. DUFAURE, to the
effect that ways and means should be pointed out for
placing at the charge of the State a sum of
75,000,000 f., necessary for continuing the works of
the railway. M. PASS; president of the Committee
of the Budget, M. DurAnnE, M. BERRYEB, M. MAR-
TIN (du Loiret), M. LEBonur, M, Goung, M. V.
LEFRANC, and M. DE LASTEYRIE were heard. The
Committees were of opinion that it was impossible for
the Budget to comply with the demand of the Com-
mittee on the Avignon Railway Bill.
The Afoniteur Algerien, of the 25th ult., states that
the news received from the divisions of General DE
ST. ARNAUD and General CAMOU were favourable.
The former, after several engagements, which had
not caused him great loss, had obtained some impor-
tant submissions. He was about to proceed towards
Collo. Gen. CAMou was ascending the valley of the
Oued Sahel, and the tribes on both banks made their
submission one after, thei _other, either without combat
or after "Viliglit 'chastisement. The Cherif Boa-
Bargbla, followed by a small number of horsemen,
continued to retire before the column without ventur-
ing on a new engagement.
M. POITEYIN made a balloon ascent on Sunday
with a carriage and two horses, and descended in
safety. On Monday the authorities issued orders,
forbidding for the future any balloon ascents with
animals.

The principal business transacted at the Bourse
was the settlement of the last month's accounts. The
Five per Cents. opened at 94f. 10c., rose to 94f. 20e.,
fell subsequently to 93f. 70c., and closed at 93f. 75c.; the
