[PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD•

merly lodged in the Tipperary Bank, and then paid ou
on ohecks to the different encumbrancers ; but since the
late unfortunate occurrence Mr. :Nicholas Sadleir has
himself been paying the interest on the encumbrances
according to the priorities ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Lawless—Where does he resins ?
Witness—ln Tipperary.
Examination continued--Mr. John Sadleir took with
him to London the deed appointing Mr. N. Sadleir to
that receivership, and I never saw it since. I carinot re-
collect, whether the policies were mentioned in it or not.
The first trust of that deed was the payment of the inte-
rest on .he shares on the Kingston estate ; the next the
payment of 2,5001. a-year interest to the Albion Com-
pany ; the next the payment of the premiums on the Al-
bion insurances ; and the next the keeping up of the
bank insurances. After the death of the late Mr. Joh,.
Sadleir I found among his papers in London six policies
of insurances connected with the King.ton estate ; they
had been effected by Messrs. Parker and Walter, who
were annuitants on the life estates. I have got those
policies. I found also a deed transferring them from
Nles,srs: Parker and Water jointly to Mr. Walter alone.
There was a subsequent deed transferring them to a Mr.
Eyre, in payment of 15,0001;, which I did not find.
Air. LaNless—Did you find any deeds connected with
the affairs of the Tipperary Bank ?
Witness—No ; save the deed of partnership, which
has been lodged in the Master's office. I think I frond ,
a manuscript copy of the bank deed, which has been
lodged in the Master's office.

Tha examination of Mr. Morrogh here closed.

Naval and ]Military Intelligence.

.We have received aatices• from the squadron off
Kertch up to the 17th ult., by which we learn that on
27th of February the screw steamers Arrow, Lynx, and
Snake, each mounting four guns, left St. Pant's Straits
for the Sea of Azoff, under the ccmtnand of Captain A.
P. Ryder, of the Dauntless, in order to reconnoitre the
Arabat Spit. Having vainly endeavoured for two days
to make way through the masses of floating ice, they
were compelled to return to their anchorage, where they
arrived on the Ist of March, without sustaining any da:
wage. A heavy gale of wind set in on the 6th ult. the
Dauntless had two anchors down, with five shackles of
cable out on the port bower and two on the starboard
anchor, and was lying alongside the transport ship Wil-
liam. In consequence of her close proximity to the.
transport the Dauntless was unable to veer cable; nei-
ther could the former do so without getting aground.
While in this position (a most critical one for both ves-
sels) the Dauntless was observed to be drifting; both sheet
anchors were let go, which fortunately brought her up,
but not until she was across the cables of the trans-
port. Her screw propeller could not be put in motion
without incurring the serious risk either of breaking it
or cutting asunder the cables of the other vessel. After
remaining for several hours in this precarious situation,
shortly after midnight the gale partially subsided, when
both vessels shifted their berths ; otherwise the conse-
quences might have been to both most disastrous. The
Arrow screw-steamer left Keitch-on the evening of the
16th ult. under a flag of truce, with despatches relative
to the armistice for the Russian-General at Kaffa. Gen.
Williams, who was to be exchanged for an officer of si-
milar rank, made prisoner at Kitt bourn, was nominated
for the command of the Turkish Contingent. On being
relieved by the Leopard steam-frigate, whose arrival off
Kertch was shortly expected, the Dauntless was to pro-
ceed to Malta, to undergo a refit,.
There are now assembled .at rtsmou h, as an in,ta'
mint of the British Baltic fleet, 16 ships of the line, 7
steam-frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 acrew despatch-vessels,
and 70 screw gun-boats.
The fleet at Spithead was augmented yesterday by the
arrival of the James Watt, 9i, Capt. G. Eliot, C. 8.,
A.D.C., from Plymouth; the, 21, Capt. Sir R.
M'Clure, C. 8., from the Nore ; the Hecla, 6, paddle-
sloop, C.onmander Aplin, from Liverpool, with two new
gun-boats; the Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander
Clore ; the Victor, 6, steam gureve,sel, Commander De.
Horsey; and the Magnet and Manly gun-boats,
ft.iviley and Arthur, all from the eastward ; making the
fleet at Portsmouth already amount to 16 sail-of-the-line,
7 steant-fri4ates, 8 steam-slOops, 8 steam gun-vessels,
and 70 steam gun-boats—total 109. All the, gumboats
which were exercised the day before were put through
eimuler evolutions yesterday, and were watched by large
as-emblages of interested spectators.
The Centaur, 6: paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, C. 8.,
left Spithead last evening for the westward ; and the
Devastation, 6, Commander Marshall, left for the Cape
of Good Rope soon after.
The Maeicienne, 16, paddle-frigate, Capt. Vansittart,
left Spithead yesterday morning for the eastward.
The Resolute steam-transport, No. 214, left Spithead
yesterday morning for the Es t, with supernumerary
triees and boys for the fleet, a few cavalry, and about
50 of the British Italian Legion.
The Algiers, 91, Captain Cudringt-m, C. 8., got up
steam yesterday at Portsmouth to try her engines, after
a refit, preparatory to rejoining the fleet at Spithead.
By the Peninsular and thiental Company's steam-
ship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton yesterday
with the Peninsular mails, we receive the fo lowing items
of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :—The
steam-transport Berwick, which left the Bay on the 6,1
ult., with mules and horses for the Dardanelles, encoun-
tered fearful weather in the Gulf of Lyons, and was
obliged to pit into the pert of Cartbagena, where she
arrived on the B,h with the loss at one of the anima's.
Tee ll:rwick was awaiting favourable weather to resume
her voyage. The Great Western, which sailed from
Southampton on the 12th ult., with horses and troops for
the Crimea, arrived at Gibraltar en the 20th after ex•
periencing severe weather. During the night of the 15th
she encountered a severe south-south-westerly gale;
which split and seriously damaged her rudder-bead.
Three Of the animals on beard perished, owing to the
severity of the weather.' The steam-transport Amity,
eight days from London, with Government stores for
Balaklava, arrived out during the- night of the 20th,
having also experienced heavy weather, which carried
away her main boom and stole in her cattei. Aftei
coaling and caking in water she sailed for her destina-
tion on the 22d ult. The steam-transport Trent arrived
in the Bay on the 21st, with the guns of her Majesty's
floating battery Meteor on board, and the vessel in tow,
on her way to England. The Trent, 'having taken in
coals, sailed for her destination, taking the battery in
tow, on the 23d, but was obliged to return during the
afternoon of the same day. • The sailing-transport Mm-
den arrived at Gibraltar from Malta with shot and
shell, which she wou'd discharge at Gibraltar, pre-
viously to sailing fur England. The Imperial, with
stores for the East, arrived out on the 24th ult.
The Government transport East Anglian, No. 162,
arrived at Woolwich yesterday, laden with barrack
stores from the Tower of Dublin. She is to ship pow-
der from the Arsenal.

Some novel experiments took place in Woolwich-
marshes on Tuesday, which were attended by members
of the select committee for the purpose of testing the
efficiency of souse explosive shells, the invention of a
Mr. Nlartin. Tne invention consists of cast-iron shells,
constructed in a peculiar manner, and filled with liquid
iron. Sonic specimens were fired and burst with very
good effect, scattering the fragineute over a consider-
able space, and settnez fire to the wooden butt and
other i•uildings which had been erected for the purpose
of the experiment. A second invention, of a similar
kind, was put through ce,tain trials at the same time.
This was the property of of two Frenchmen who have
arrived :it Woolwich with the special intention of sub-
jecting their invention to the opinion of the authorities
of the War Department at Woolwich Arsenal. It c in-
sisted also of an iron shell filled with some fiercely burn-
ing materials, but which, on uedergoing several tests,
turned out a complete failure as far as the present ex-
periments extenued.
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, R.A., loft Woolwich on
Tuesday, for the purpose of proceeding to the Crimea
to join his troop there.
A considerable transfer of volunteers from Militia
regiments to the seige train newly arrived at Woolwich
has taken place. The 17 companies have each received
an addition to their ranks of an average number of 60,
making in the aggregate 1,020 men.
The following appointments have been made at the
Admiralty :
Lieutenant W. E. England, to the Surprise ; Jelin
Habana, midshipman, to the Duke of Wellington ; H.
B. S. Coble, naval cadet, to the Calcutta; A. Irwin,
surgeon (confirmed); Assistant-Surgeon C nstaiitiiie
Keenan (confirmed) ; F. E. Whalley, naaeter's-aeeistatit,
to the Brunswick ; Joseph 11. Manly, clerk, to the
Driver ; W. E. P. Saer, assistant-clerk, to the Eur.talue.
The Carlow Rifles and the depot of the 60th Regi-
ment, who have been for the past eight or nine months
quartered in Kilkenny, have received orders to be in
readiness to proceed to Clonmel immediately, there to
relieve the sth Lancashire Militia, who march to Dublin.
The Rifles and the 69th are in daily expectation of re-
ceiving the route, as they are to be succeeded by the de-
pot of the 58th Regiment.
The depot of the 58th Regiment, under Brevet-Lieut.-
Col. Cs prian Bridge, will immediately move from the
Linen-ball Barracks, Dublin, to Kilkenny, where it will
be joined by the service companies now on passage from
New Zealand to Cork. It has been stated that the late
Duke of Wellington was once stationed in Kilkenny with
this regiment, in which he was appointed Captain the
3Ath of June, 1791, and from which he was transferred
the 31st Oct., 1792, to the late 18th Light Dragoons.

SYMONDS, K.C.B.

We regret to hear that Rear-Admiral Sir William
