EINTING,

The prisoner denied that he was so, but acknow-
ledged taking the boots, saying, as an excuse for
the robbery, that he had been a long time out of
work; and

have been fitted to check the vibration of the
air pump rod of the paddle engines. I am in-
formed that the coals in the bunkers have us
shown any tendency to heat during tho vo .ge
to and from America. Having c -fully
examined the plates of the bottom ► der the
water line in company with Mr. R lie, I find
that in general very little corrosion . s taken place,
although there are occasional • . tches where the
water has penetrated under t ► • paint, and corroded
thp plates to the extent of -32 d of an inch. I did
not see a single butt ich had started, nor any
other symptom of th dates having worked in the
slightest degree, the appearance of the bottom being
altogether most satisfactory. 'lt should be ob-
served that owing to the vessel being merely
grounded upon a levelled beach, there was a con-
siderable portion of the bottom which could not be
examined, more especially as the Great Eastern
has no projecting keel.'
" So soon as your directors ascertained from the
surveyors of the Board of Trade their requirements
for another voyage to America only, and also for a
permanency, it became an important duty to re-
consider their first announcement to send the ship
to New York, on the 17th of October. Although
they thought it within possibility that the tides
would admit of the ship's floating so as to coal and
equip her within the time, they could not fail to see
that they would encounter the same hurried con-
fusion that has heretofore proved so costly, and that
meeting the requirements by the Board of Trade
for a special voyage only would be but a temporary
expedient. They knew the importance and risk of
imperfect decks, the expenses of a temporary ad-
justment of the screw shaft, and the necessity of
going into a large outlay for permanent -work on,
the return of the' ship, before she could be `fairly
considered perfect.
"Your directors felt that the responsibility was
great, either to decide for, or against, a voyage
under such circumstances, and the number of the
board having been reduced by the retirement of
Mr. Croskey, they determined to propose a confe-
rence with the most considerable shareholders.
The conference was held on the 2d instant, and the
following resolution passed, viz. :
" That the ship be put into a state of permanent
efficiency, and that all current expenses be forth-
with reduced to the minimum consistent with the
safety and interests of the vessel.'

of le physical world, according to which attrac-
on is proportionate to the mass." If Sardinia only
waits, then, for the gradual effect, of her adminis-
tration upon the mind of Europe all must go right
at last, and the inherent weakness of Rome and
Venice as isolations from Italy must end in their
absorption. But if Italy is in a hurry she has the
fate of the first Napoleon and the Emperor Nicho-
las before her as a terrible beacon, showing how
impossible it is for the greatest Powers to succeed
who mistake the public opinion of Europe. Ano-
ther reinforcement may be expected with equal
certainty from the growing evidence to the princi-
ple that religion and freedom are quite compatible
—indeed, that " freedom is highly favourable to
the spread of true religious feeling—a truth which
is acknowledged by the most impassioned holders of
Catholic ideas, and which an illustrious writer in a
lucid interval has proved to the satisfaction of us
all."

Mr. Knox sentenced him to be committed to the
House of Correction for three months, and kept to
hard labour.

Yesterday afternoon another valuable addition to
our fleet was made by the launch of the Newcastle,
51 guns, from Deptford dockyard. The weather
was, unfortunately, very unfavourable, notwith-
standing which there was a large assemblage of the
residents of the surrounding neighbourhood. At 20
minutes after 2 the signal was given that all was
ready, the ponderous blows of the shipwrights'
hammers were heard, and Mrs. Buckle having
dashed a bottle of wine against the bows of the
vessel, and named her the Newcastle, hydraulic
power was used, and in another instant the vessel
glided into the river amid the deafening acclama-
tions of those present. The Newcastle has beers
about two years building, and is a sister vessel to
the Forte, launched from the same yard a few
months since. Her dimensions are as follow :
Length between perpendiculars, 250 ft.; ditto over
all, 284 ft. 9in.; breadth extreme, 52ft. ; depth in
hold, 19ft. 2in. ; burthen in tons, 3,027 40-94. Her
armament will consist of the following :—Main
deck, 30 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., and 9ft. long ; upper
deck, 20 32-pounder guns, 58 or 56 cwt., 9ft. bin.
long; and pivot, 1 68-pounder, 95 cwt., 10ft. long.
Immediately after the launch the vessel was taken
in tow by the Monkey and the Princess Alice tug
steamers to Woolwich, where she will be fitted with
her engines, which are to be of 600 horse power.
The Rosario, 11 guns, will be launched this, after-
noon from No. 5 slip, shortly before 2 o'clock.
Her Majesty's screw ship Himalaya, Capt. John
Seccombe, arrived at Spithead yesterday, shortly
after noon, from Malta and Gibraltar, with his
Excellency Mirza Jaffar Khau, the Persian Am-
bassador Extraordinary, on board, on a mission
from the Shah of Persia to the Court of St. James's.

CLERKENWE LL. -- Tryphena Rickards, of
Backchurch -lane, Whitechapel, needle-woman, was
charged with being concerned with others not in
custody in breaking and entering • the dwelling-
house, 47, Pentonville-road, Clerkenwell, and steal-
ing therefrom Bank of England notes and other
articles, the property of Mr. W. Kentish, of the
value of £lOO.
From the evidence it appeared that on the even-
ing of the 19th of September, a little before nine
o'clock, some persons entered the prosecutor's house
by the attic window and broke open the drawers
and workboxes and stole the articles in question.
Among the notes stolen was a Bank of England
one for £5, the number of which was fortunately
known to the prosecutor. On Tuesday, the 25th
ult., that note was changed at a shop in Bishops--
eate in payment for some small article, and the

On these two appeals, then, to the public opinion
of Europe, and the harmony of religion and freedom,
Count Cavour rests the ultimate accomplishment of
complete Italian unity, and in the meantime a ba-
lanced and modified state of things must content
the patriot. It is a clear, compact view, of Italian
policy. He has felt his ground well, and speaks
like a physician who knows his case. He is cer-
tain of the principles to which he appeals; he has
marked them out with clearness and precision, and
his political map will soon be the only authorised
map of United Italy.—Times.

Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Monday
next.

Charles Edwards, Charles Green, and Wm. Wise
were charged with defrauding Mr. Robert Cobbey,
the landlord of the Sun publichouse, 66, Long-acre,
of £202 by skittle sharping.
The prosecutor'met the prisoners and went with
them to a publichouse at Islington, and having
played at skittles lost the above sum. The pri-
soners were apprehended by police-constables Ack-
rill, 48 F, and Langley, 100 A, and on them were
found false notes representing in value the sum of
£3OO, besides sharping cards.
Mr. Lewis' who attended for the prisoners, said
the case had been settled (it was understood that
the prosecutor had received £l5O out of the £202),
and asked for the dismissal of the prisoners.
Mr. Barker said, as there was no prosecutor, the
prisoners would be discharged.

The Himalaya was signalled to anchor at Spithead,
and on doing so she hoisted the Persian ensign at
the main. The Fire Queen paddle steamer, Master

Commander Paul, having on board Mr. Thompson

of the Foreign-office, proceeded to Spithead in
readiness to bring his Excellency on shore. His
Excellency embarked on board the Fire Queen at
3 p.m., the Persian ensign being transferred to
her main from the Himalaya, and receiving a
salute of 19 guns from her Majesty's ship Trafalgar,
lying at Spithead, which, on the Fire Queen enter-
ing the harbour, was repeated from the guns on the
garrison saluting battery and from her Majesty's
ship Victory. His Excellency and suite landed at
the King's Stairs, the usual landing place of her
Majesty at the dockyard, where Vice-Admiral
Bruce, Rear-Admiral Grey, and their staffs, with a
guard of honour of the 11th Regiment, were in at-
tendance to receive his Excellency with the respect
and honours due to his rank. Carriages were in
waiting which conveyed his Excellency and suite
to Dent's George Hotel, in High-street, Portsmouth,.
where Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., and a
brilliant Staff, with a guard of honour of the 2d
battalion 19th Regiment, wore in attendance. His
Excellency on entering the hotel was received by
Hassan Vely Khan, Ambassador at the Court of the
Tuileries from the Shah of Persia, who had been
staying at the hotel for some days in readiness to
receive his colleague on his arrival in this country.
Sentries have been placed on duty in front of the
hotel, and every honour will be paid to the illus-
trous strangers during their stay in the garrison,
which will probably extend until noon to-day, his
Excellency having expressed a wish to visit the
dockyard before leaving for town. Last evening
his Excellency entertained Major-General Lord W.
Paulet, C. 8., Vice-Admiral H. W. Bruce, and Rear-
Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, at dinner, at Dent's
Hotel, to which also Capt. Seccombe was honoured
with a special invitation. The following are the
names and rank of the principal members of the
suite and attendants : —Mirza Hassan Khan, Secre-
tary of Embassy; Aly Khan, Second Secretary;
Mohamed Alyagd, first dragoman; Mirza Mokhaly,
private secretary ; Mirza Izague, attache ; Mirza
Aly Agnber, surgeon ; Latour Khan, Lieut.-Col.
and 2d dragoman ; Fazhale Khan, grandson of his
Excellency the Ambassador; and Agd Aly, Lalel
Barr, and Seyed Housen, personal attendant of his
Excellency. The Sprightly, steamer, Master-Com-
mander Allen, conveyed the luggage of the Embassy
on shore from the Himalaya, together with the
remaining personal attendants, &c. His Excel-
lency the Ambassador is in his 80th year. He
speaks the English language fluently, and is well
acquainted with our manners and institutions,
having been in this country for some period of time
during the reign of his late Majesty William IV_
The Himalaya sailed from Gibraltar at 5 30 p.m.
on Thursday last, and had stormy weather on the
passage home, strong N.E. winds off the coast of
Portugal, and heavy weather in the channel during
Monday night. She has brought home 207 naval
invalids, 108 military, with 17 women and 28 chil-
dren. Captain Nugent, of the 2d battalion 9th Foot ;
Lieut. Bishop, of the Ist battalion 22d Foot ; Dr.
Ticker, 2d battalion of 4th Foot ; and Mr. Fyers,
clerk, &c. She has also on board about 300 tons of
old stores. The invalids will be landed this morn-

" Your directors at once prcceeded to act in con.
formity with that resolution, by reducing, as far as
possible, the current expenses, and, as a necessary
consequence, they have given notice to the captain
and other principal officers that their services must
be dispensed with. It will now be the duty of your
directors to proceed carefully and with all possible
economy to complete the ship, consistently with the
requirements of the Board of Trade, and to lay new
decks. This will involve a very considerable out-
lay, probably not less than £15,000; If the suit
against Mr. Russell had terminated in favour of the
company, as they were led to hope, nearly sufficient
means would now be at their dispcsal ; but if it
should unfortunately happen that any portion of
the award can be made good against the company,
then it will be necessary to obtain additional capi
tal. The proprietors will, however, have a noble
ship, perfect in all parts, and ready to proceed on
any voyage in March next."

THAMES.—Henry Everard, a builder, contrac-
tor, and brickmaker in Poplar, appeared to answer
to an adjourned warrant taken out against him by
a young woman, named Susan Beer, of Beaumont-
row, White Horse-lane, Stepney.
Mr. Metcalfe, barrister, instructed by Mr. Charles
Young, solicitor, defended Mr. Everard.
The facts of the case were of a very extraordi-
nary description. On the 16th of October, 1857,
an order was made upon the defendant by Mr.
Yardley, at this court, to pay 2s. 6d. per week for
the support of a male child, of which the com-
plainant, Susan Beer, swore he was the father. The
defendant continued the weekly payments regu-
larly until the end of May of the present year,
when he received information that the child had
diEd, and refused to pay any more money to the
complainant, Susan Beer, the mother of the child.
The defendant was summoned for the arrears sue,
amounting to £1 Os. 6d., in the latter part of July,
and not being able to prove the child was dead, and
the mother having sworn that it was alive, he was
ordered to pay the amount, and did so. Subse-
quently another summons was taken out against
him for arrears amounting to los., which he
was also ordered to pay. On his refusal to do
so a warrant was applied for, on, which he Was
brought before Mr. Selfe on Tuesday, the 9th inst.
and the complainant again swore the child she had
affiliated to the defendant was still alive, and pro-
duced one which she said was Everard's child, and
that it was four years of age. The child did not
appear to be more than two years old, and the de-
fendant alleged it was not the one affiliated upon
him, and was the offspring; of the complainant's
sister. The complainant had on a previous occa-
sion sworn, in her cross-examination by Mr.
Young, that the child had been at Portsmouth
since it was four months old, but refused to state
with whom, and that she went down to Portsmouth
to bring it up to London, and paid 2s. 6d. for the
return ticket to Portsmouth. At the last hearing,
in consequence of the solemn asseverations of the
defendant that the child produced was not his, and
not the one affiliated upon him, Mr. Selfe consented
to adjourn the case, and directed the complainant's
sister, a Mrs. Truscott, of 48, Paynton-street, East
India-road, to produce her child at the next hear-
ing of the case, which she promised to do, and
claimed costs. Mr. Selfe ordered a guinea to be
paid to Mr. Bowdler, the 'clerk, as costs, and.
said it should be handed to the complainant if she
proved to his satisfaction, on the final hearing of
the case, that the child was alive, and that she
had practised no deception.
Yesterday, Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said his
client, Susan Beer, did not appear, and-there was
an end of the case.

Mr. Selfe—Why does she not appear ?
Mr. Smith—Because she has no opportunity of
obtaining the second child.
M. r. Selfe—Then I will never grant process
against the defendant again, unless the complainant
produces her own child and her sister's child.
Mr. Metcalfe said he had numerous witnesses to
prove the bastard child of the complainant,_ of
which Mr. Everard was adjudged to be the putative
father, was dead; that it died of ascites after scar-
latina, on the 13th of February, 1859, and that it
was buried in Bow Cemetery. The defendant,
owing to the false representations d of the 6 com-
plainant and others, had been paying 2s. • per
_
week for the child 16 months longer than ho ought
to have done, and had been harassed and annoyed
former
most fearfully. The child produced on a
examination was the son of Mrs. Truscott, the

ing. While at Corfu the Himalaya was ordered by
the authorities there to proceed to Zante to take in
1,200 shells for conveyance to England. These
shells had but recently arrived from England, and
to England they were ordered to be conveyed, there
being no guns at Zante suitable for them. The guns
were on their way from England to Zante, but of
this fact it is presumed the authorities knew nothing.
The 1,200 shells were placed on board the Himalaya,
and by her conveyed to Malta, where Captain Sec-
combo brought the matter under the notice of the
admiral and the governor, and the shells were landed
by their order to be again sent to Zante the first
opportunity. Had Captain Secbombe not made the
admiral and governor "at Malta acquainted with this
curious mode of returninestores the shells would
have been brought home to England to be again
sent out to Zante at an immense cost to the country.

and steamed into harbour to be docked.

The Harrier, 17, screw, was yesterday removed
from the ship basin at Portsmouth to the steam
basid, and the Rosamond, 6, paddle, from the lat-
ter to the former.

The hired steam transport Britannia yesterday

went alongside the Royal Arsenal pier, Woolwich,
in the service of the War Departmentand commenced

embarking 22 heavy siege guns (68-pounders), to-
gether with other military small stores for Gibral-
tar. The Mystery and Guadalete sailed from the
Arsenal pier with army stores, and the following
named vessels have commenced shipping military
stores from Woolwich for foreign stations, namely:
The Alacrity, Triton ia, Palmerston, Margaret, Bessie
Seabright, Naparino, Circassian, Star of the North,
Zebra, India, Thames, Bosworth, Zealand, Thomas
Hankey, Aurora, Australian, Veloz, and Traveller.

that he was greatly pleased with the exertions that
Inspector Bryant, Constable Tyler, G division, and
Sergeant Convey,. S division, had used in the
matter.- -
