NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The flag of the Port Admiral, the Hon. Sir T. Bladon
Capel, 1i.C.8 ' was struck on board the Victory, in
Portsmouth harbour, on Saturday evening at sunset.
The gallant Admiral, Captain Crispin (of the Royal
yacht the Victoria and Albert), and Captain Sir Godfrey
Webster, Bart. (attached to the Turkish squadron), left
Portsmouth on Saturday, for the purposo of attending
her Majesty's second state ball.
The following candidates for lieutenants passed in
navigation at the Naval College on Tuesday Messrs.
T. C. Smith, C. C. Ricketts, G. J. Eden, T. H. B. Fel-
lowes, C. E. Standish, W. B. Grant, E. A. Tweeddale,
R. forcer, F. Harvey, R. Elliott, J. Jenkins, C. R.
Scott. And the undernamed second masters for masters :
Messrs. R. L. Cleveland, F. Skead, R. F. Browne, and
C. A. Smart.

Asia, 84, Captain R. F. Stopford, is alongside the
Pitch House jetty, at Portsmouth, where she will be paid
off the latter end of the week. She is dismantling and
returning stores.

The Oimen, Danish brig of war, was towed into
Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning by the Echo
tug, and immediately taken into the south dock, all
standing, where the defects in her rudder were soon
made good, and she came out the following tide, and
was towed out again to Spithead yesterday morning.
The Ornen is a complete specimen of a crack man-of-
war ; her officers and men appear to be smart active fel-
lows, and the brig herself appears in excellent order;
she is remarkably clean, and is apparently equal in all
respects to any British vessel of her class. She will
proceed to the West Indies to-day.
The Turkish frigate has hauled off alongside the Vic-
torious hulk at Portsmouth, to await her new masts that
are being prepared for her.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY AFTERNOOX.--A large three-
mastcd steamer passed through Spithead to-day for
Southampton. She looked like a foreigner, but showed
no colours. An American liner steamer, a very large
vessel, without bowsprit, and with a up-and-down stern,
apparently a new vessel, passed through Spithead this
afternoon, supposed to be bound to Brenen.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Devastation steam-
sloop, 400 horse-power, was commissioned yesterday at
this port by Commander Colin Yorke Campbell. She
is to have a complement of 160 men. The following
officers have been appointed to her:—Thomas Tickell
and F. M. Newport, Lieutenants; John Way, Master;
W. B. Pearce, Pay master and Purser; John Jenkins,
Mate; W.B. Alexander, Mate; G.H. Broadhead, A.

LAUNCH OF THE ORINOCO WEST INDIA
MAIL STEAMER.
The launch of this fine vessel took place on Saturday,
at half-past two o'clock r.x., at Northfleet Dockyard, in
the presence of a large concourse of highly gratified
spectators from various parts of the surrounding country
and from the metropolis. The Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company having determined on providing five new ves-
sels of upwards of 2,000 tons burden each, to carry out
their contract and meet their increasing traffic, have en-
gaged with Mr. Pitcher to build two of the five steamers.
The first of these, the Orinoco, was commenced in Sep-
tember last, and launched on Saturday. Another, the
Magdalene, is far advanced, and will be ready for launch-
ing in about a month from the present time. These vessels
aro of the following dimensions, viz:—

Burden in tons, 2,245 31-94.
Each vessel will be fitted with engines of 800-horse
power, with double cylinders, by Messrs. Maudslay, Son,
and Field. The ceremony of naming the Orinoco was
performed by Lady Anne Tutnell. The Right Hon.
Henry Tufnell and many persons of distinction were
present.
After the launch between eighty and ninety
persons sat down to dinner at Calder's Rosherville
Hotel, where everything was served in excellent style.
The draught of water of the Orinoco, when launched,
was 9 feet 9 inches forward and 10 feet 10 inches abaft;
the light displacement, with that draught of water, is
1,050 tons, and if 2,000 tons be added for the freight to
be taken on board in the shape of engines, coals, equip-
ment, passengers, and luggage, it is estimated that she
will go to sea about four months from this period, with
a mean draught of water of about 19 feet 6 inches. The
Orinoco looks well on the water, and is considered by
competent judges a beautiful and well-built ship; and
there being nu slip over her when built, the launch had
a fine effect. She was taken in tow shortly after being
launched, and taken up the river by a steamer to the
East India Decks at Blackwall, where her engines are
to be put on board.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE EPSOM EVENTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—To-morrow's races commence somewhere about one
o'clock, I believe, with the Craven Stakes, which Aaron
Smith or Uriel will win; Gholab Singh or Epira obtaining
the third place. The Horton Stakes look well for Sweet-
heart. The Manor Plate for Eva, Estafette, Windhound, or
Sisyphus, the first and third for choice. The Woodcote will
probably fall to the lot of ELCOT or BUCKTHORN; Flirt
close up. The lleathcote Plate, a spin for Glendale or
Kakistos, with Farthingale and Rose Pompon in attendance.
On Wednesday, I book the Epsom Town Plate a certainty
for Croupier or Theorem ; Roller third. For the Derby, I
remain of the same opinion as expressed last Monday; if THE
PRIME MINISTER fails me, I shall rely on HER-
NANDEZ and THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK to pull my
judgment through triumphantly. The list of the starters has
undergone no change since I gave it on Friday, with the solitary
exception of the addition of The Black Douglass. Lamar-
tine and Heartbreaker will run uncommonly well. For the
Exhibition Plate, Sisyphus, at 6st 41b, ought to be about the
mark ; Cranberry, however, will run well. On Thursday,
the Two Years Old Stakes will be won by Adine ; and the
Grand Stand Plate, I fancy, by NARCISSUS; the Empress
colt and Old Dan Tucker being well up. On Friday, for the
Oaks, since the declension ofPayraent, I can discover nothing
to beat lIEsSE HOMBURG and APHRODITE, although
'tis said that Sister to Wanota and Emily will "astonish the
natives." To-morrow evening will appear the latest move-
ments on "The Downs," together with my final remarks on
the Derby.

May 19, 1851. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

THE PENDULUM EXPERIMENT AND THE MAG-
NETIC MERIDLAN.—A scientific correspondent of the Dundee
Advertiser has addressed the following letter on this subject
to the editor of that journal ;—" I suspended a pendulum
with extreme delicacy, and felt convinced that it would show
the earth's motion of rotation if such a method was capable
of doing so. I• has not shown this, but it has conducted to
results no less surprising and interesting. Last week I per-
formed many experiments, but all the results only showed that
the vibration of the pendulum tended to a parallelism with
the back of a sofa. Various conjectures arose as to the cause
of this, and the troublesome sofa was ultimately removed.
The pendulum, however, moved in the same direction as
before, and a conjecture arose that it might be the magnetic
meridian. On trial it was found to be so ; and however
much the experiment was varied the result was the
same. While engaged with these experiments on last
Saturday evening, a scientific gentleman called on me
and stated that a pendulum which he had tried did not
show the motion of the earth, but seemed to have a
tendency to move north and south. 1 showed him my needle,
and we found a constant return of the pendulum to the mag-
netic meridian. The ball of the pendulum is lead and the
wire is copper, and the only iron about it is the pivot, but
the result is the same with a pivot of brass. It does not
seem to affect a magnetic needle, and I am not yet sure
that it is affected by a magnet or by a mass of iron m
its vicinity ; but further experiments on this point are neces-
sary..,
It seems capable of being used on board ship, anan
not affected by the iron in the vessel, it will have =e
advantage over the common compass. That the pendulum
is capable of showing the earth's rotation I regard as a grass
hale
found to be a fact."

fort. Ilis father, Lord Charles Somerset. now deceased, was
for many years governor at the Cape of Good Hope. His
wife was daughter to the celebrated John Mytton, Esq., of
sporting celebrity. Captain Somerset was for a considerable
period adjutant of the 2d battalion of the Coldstream

We attended on Saturday a private view of the
splendid collection of armour which will be opened to
the' public on Monday, at sr ay, House, Leicester-
square. The collection comprises many hundred pieces
of engraved, inlaid, and battle armour, in the finest state
of preservation; indeed, as a collection of battle armour
of the 15th and 16th centuries, it may be pronounced to
be the largest and most complete in the world. This
splendid historical collection is well known to connoisseurs
as the Maximilian collection, having formerly belonged
to the Emperors Maximilian I. and 11. It was in Bel-
gium about forty years since, and a very large sum was
asked for its purchase; it was subsequently imported
into this country, and remained in the Custom-house
warehouse for nearly thirty years, from whence it was
purchased by the present proprietor. In addition to the
armour, there is to be found in this hall every variety of
offensive weapon in use in the fifteenth century; some
of the rapiers are exceedingly beautiful. This exhibi-
tion is, as a whole, most interesting.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
A slight change for the better is perceptible in our
market, both in the inquiry for shares and business done
—the latter being chiefly, as usual, i❑ dividend mines;
but, on the whole, the value of these shares is on the de-
cline, for which the legitimate reason may be found in
their having ruled at too high prices a few months ago;
still, favourite dividend shares are no: easily acquired,
except at advanced rates—the tenacity with which they
are held being in accordance with their intrinsic value.
In other undertakings, a diminution of demand is too
apparent not to becomo a noticeable feature in the
week's operations; whilst the more _ephemeral projects
of the day have become, as they ought to be, utterly ne-
glected ones.
Li the Metal Market, Copper moves off steadily.—
Lead is quiet, and rather easier.—But little has been
done in Tin, and piices are quite nom►nal.—A moderate
business doing in Yellow Metal Sheathing.
The imports during the week have included—from
namburgh, 1,471 plates of spelter, 65 casks of plum-
bago, 13 casks of copperas; Stettin, 30,270 plates of
spelter, 126 casks of zinc ash, 11,215 plates of zinc;
Carthegena, 1,700 pigs of lead; Licata, 300 tons of
brimstone; Singapore, 2,553 slabs of tin; and Gothen-
burg, 4,717 bars of iron.
Among the arrivals at Swansea are 1,290 tons of cop-
per from Cuba.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
HARWICH.
The Committee sat again on Saturday; Mr. Per
Seyn2er in the chair.

On the assembling of the Members the room was
cleared, and after an hour's deliberation the parties were
re-admitted, and
The CHAIRMAN announced thst the Committee had
Como to the decision that tho vote of William Beim
wee a bad vote. _ _ _

This placed Mr. Crawford, the unsuccessful candidate,
in a majority of one.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, on behalf of Mr. Prinsep,
the sitting Member, called upon the counsel for the
petitioners either to proceed with the remaining part of
their case, respecting the disqualification of Mr. Prinsep
on the ground of bribery, or to abandon it, and allow him
to enter upon a scrutiny of the votes polled by Mr.
Crawford. Ho was quite ready to go on with his case,
but he objected to the petitioners calling upon him to do
so while they reserved some allegations for the after
consideration of the Committee.
Mr. JANES colitended that it was duty of his Learned
Friend to proceed now with his case. If he did not, he
should call upom the Committee to declare Mr. Craw-
ford elected, as ho was in a majority of ono vote over Mr.
Prinsep.
The room was again cleared, and the Committee came
to the resolution that they could not accede to the appli-
cation of Mr. Sergeant Kinglake.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE then proposed entering upon
the scrutiny, and in the first instance objected to the vote
of Robert John Bagshaw, on the ground of want of resi-
dence, and not sufficient occupation.
Mr. JA3IES formally objected. As the Committee had
expressly decided that Mr. Prinsep had not a proper
qualification under the Ist and 2d Victoria, chap. 48. to
enable him to sit in Parliament, he was stopped from
being heard against the votes polled by Mr. Crawford,
who was now in a majority.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLARE was heard on the other side.
_
Parties were then ordered to withdraw, and on the
doors being re-opened,
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had resolved to
allow Mr. Kinglake to proceed with the scrutiny:
The Committee were occupied during the remainder of
the day with the consideration of Mr. Bagshaw's vote.
