LITERATURE,.

The Naval History of ("real Britain, from the I
Declaration of War by Prance, in 1793 to the
Accession of George the Fourth. By William
James. Bentley.
The history of the British navy has been, and
ever will be, a subject of considerable interest to
the English people. But the general public know
little or nothing of its early history, and, indeed,
beyond the important victories of Nelson, Howe,
and Jervis, they are equally ignorant of the events
which took place at the end of the last and the be-
ginning of the present century. Mr. W. James has
devoted much care and attention to the compilation
of these volumes, and, indeed, he presents a re-
markable instance of that phenomenon—an impar-
tial historian. The most prejudiced adversary
could not but admit that the work might have
emanated from the pen of a Frenchman without
causing him to blush for the honour of his country.
While rendering a tribute to the fairness and
ability of the author, we cannot but regret that he
did not commence his history at an earlier date.
The records of the Commonwealth are still extant,
and there would have been no more difficulty iu
collecting the incidents connected with England's
first real navy, when under Raleigh, Drake, and
Blake, England first claimed the proud title of
Mistress of the Seas. Blake it was who first
established the fact that wooden walls could con-
tend successfully with stone ones, and that it was
quite possible to lay a ship alongside a fort and
silence it. A complete naval history of those times
is wanting, and Mr. W. James has shown, by the
able manner in which the present work is got up,
that he was eminently qualified for the undertaking.
The non-professional reader will derive great as-
sistance from a glossary of sea-terms introduced
at the commencement of the first volume, which
will enable him to understand certain passages
in which nautical language is unavoidably intro-
duced. Before entering upon the history the author
has introduced a brief sketch of the progress and
early history of the navy, the dimensions of ships,
guns, &c.
At the present day people complain of the com-
plication of official reports, and the difficulty experi-
enced in understanding them ; but how much must
those in the fifteenth century have comprehended
of their ordnance ? The gunners of those days
must have had long heads to remember the names •
of the various guns.
The demi-cannon, without doubt, was the 32 -pounder of
afterdays. The cannon-petro had, in the list of 1677, al-
ready changed its name to 21-pounder, and a 12-pounder
(probably the ancient basilisk) also appears there. The
whole-culverin and demi-eulverin became subsequently the
18, and the 9-pounder. The saker, or sacer, both from its
c fibre and weight, was the 8l feet, 22 cwt. 6 pounder; as
was the light saker, the modern gun of the same nature,
measuring six feet, and weighing 17 cwt. The minion was
the 4-pounder : what name the 3-pounder of 1677 had pre-
viously taken does not appear.
The first British frigate on record seems tnhave
been the Constant-Warwick, for which the coun-
try was not indebted to the Government, but then,
as now, private enterprise took the lead in the ad-
vancement of science.
The earl subsequently disposed of his frigate to the com-
monwealth, but not, as it would appear, until she had af-
forded decided proofs of her superiority of sailing. At what
precise time the transfer took place is uncertain ; but the
first list, in which the Constant-Warwick appears as a na-
tional ship, is one of 1652. There she classes as a fifth-rate
of 28 guns. In another list of the same year, her guns are
stated at 32 : a difference to be explained, perhaps, by one
being the lowest, the other the highest, number of guns
assigned to the ship in her new employ.
The English were always fond of over •gunning their ves-
sels ; and it generally happened, when an English ship of
war was taken by the French, that the latter, before they
sent her forth as a cruiser, reduced, sometimes by a full
sixth, the number of her guns. One instance may suffice.
The Pembroke, when captured by the French, at the com-
mencement of the eighteenth century, mounted 61 guns ,
but, when recaptured shortly afterwards, had on board
only 53 guns, and these as the whole of her establishment.
An addition of six guns to the Constant-Warwick's on
ginal number was, perhar, no improvement ; but what
shall we say to an increase of 20, or, at all events, of 16
guns? Our suspicion that this had taken place was ex-
cited by seeing the name of the Constant-Warwick, as one
of the six fourth-rate 42-gun ships, enumerated at No. 10
in the abstract of 1677. There .the ship, having her two
bow-ports filled, carries 20, instead of the 18 demi-culverins
on what is now, in truth, the first gun-deck; and, having
her quarter-deck bulwark continued forward on each side
to her stem, readily finds room for a second whole tier of
guns. The number first mounted on this second deck was
probably 20, the same as on the deck below. Afterwards,
18 were considered enough ; especially as the guns were not
sakers, but demi-culverins, the same as on the first gun-
deck. The poop, by this new operation, and, perhaps, by a
little extension forward, becomes the quarter-deck, and is
armed, at first probably with six, but afterwards with four
minions ; making 46 guns as the temporary, and 42 as the
permanent, establishment of the ship.
When to the increased weight of the guns their carriages
and shot is added the weight of wood and iron, consumed as
well in the barricade t 3 the second gun-deck as in strength-
ening the ship in every part, we may well give credit to a
writer of 1665, who, in complaining that ships of the British
navy are " over gunned," instances, among others, " the
Constant-Warwick, from 26 gunns and an incomparable
sayler, to 46 gunns and a slugg." The worst is, that the
Constant-Warwick, although thus changed in her form and
qualifications, although, from an " incomparable sayler,"
converted to a " slugg,' was allowed to retain her original
appellation. So that, according to the loose accounts handed
down to us, " the first frigate built in England," was an
over-gunned, top-heavy, two-decker, instead of, as a little
investigation now proves her to have been, a properly
armed, snug one-decker.
Here is an instance that bungling is natural to
the British Board of Admiralty. They cannot now,
and, it would seem, never could, do things right at
first themselves, or, when the work was done for
them, let well alone.
In 1793 the first official abstracts of the strength
of the navy were published ; but it would appear
that but little correct information was to be derived
from them, seeing that yachts, transports, and
hoys were all entered as vessels of war, together
with ships on the stocks, or proposed to be laid
down.

One instance may suffice. In January, 1796, a 120-gun
ship, to be named the Caledonia (in lieu of a ship of 100
guns, ordered in November, 1794), was directed to be
built, and appeared in Steel a few months afterwards ;
but the ship was not laid down until January, 1805, nor
launched until June, 1808. After all this, as it may well
be called, paper- force has been added, the total at the foot
of such periodical list is taken to denote, in an unrestricted
sense, the numerical strength of the British navy.
After narrating at some length the relative strength
of the maritime Powers of Europe at the commence-
ment of the war, the author shows how America, by
her enterprise, unscrupulous, conduct and ex-
pertness at concealing enemies property, proved a
most effective friend to France, and consequently
&sharper thorn:in the'side of England than if she had
been at open war with her. We need not go far for
an illustration of this fact in the present day—the
conduct of Prussia during the late Russian war was
too glaring to need comment. While France was
convulsed by internal contentions her navy was not
neglected ; and, as far as ships were concerned, she
was equal in force at least with England.
At no previous period had France possessed so powerful
a navy as was now ready to second her efforts to humble,
if not overthrow, her great maritime rival. It amounted
altogether to about 250 vessels, of which 82 were of the line;
and of these, nearly tkree-fourths were ready for sea, or in
a serviceable state. Moreover, the French Government,
shortly after the commencement of the war, in order to pro-
vide against those losses which, experience had shown,
were likely to attend a contest with England, ordered to be
laid on the stocks 71 ships, including 25 of the line ; and
to be cast at the national foundries 3,100 pieces of sea-
service ordnance, including 400 brass 36-pounder car
ronades, the first of the kind, as it would appear, forged in
France.
Among the French ships ordered to be built, were five to
mount 100 guns, and eight frigates to carry 24-pounders on
the main deck. Instead of the former, one ship to mount
130 guns. and be named Penple, was laid down; and, for
the remaining four three-deckers, an equal number of 80s
and 74s appear to have been substituted. Several of the
old small-class 745, or such as carried 24-pounders only on
the lower deck, instead of being repaired to serve.oagain in
the line, or taken to pieces as unfit to serve at all, were cut
down and concerted into the most formidable frigates that
had hitherto been seen. It is uncertain what was the exact
armament of these " vaisseaux. rases ;" but thay appear to
have mounted 28 long 24-pounders on the main deck, 18
long 12-pounders, and four brass 36-pounder carronades,
upon the quarter-deck and forecastle, making a total of 50
guns, with a complement of 500 mon. It is believed that
the first ship so fitted was named Experiment. Seven
others were, AgTicole, Brave, Brutus, Filibustier, Hercule,
Robuete, and Setlvola.
Not only were the French well provided with
first class ships, but, owing to the mismanagement
and favouritism of the British Admiralty, the equip-
ment of their ships was far superior to that of the
English—a fact which was forcibly proved when a
squadron, under Lord Ilowe' gave chase to certain
French ships, which carried in a very fresh wind
and a heavy sea whole topsails and topgallant-sails,
while double-reefed topsails and topgallant-sails

were all that the British ships could stagger under;
and with this reduced sail so ill found were they in
spars and gear that the Russell sprang her foremast
and the Defence lost her fore and main topmasts,
and the enemy escaped. In proof of the impartiality
of the writer the following tribute to the memory
of a gallant French officer deserves notice. After de-
scribing a well-fought action between the Nymphe
and Cleopatre, he relates :

_ .
Among the wounded were included the ship's three lieu-
tenants, and among her killed was the truly gallant Cap-
tain Mullon. A round shot had torn open his back and
carried away the greater part of his left hip. It is re.
lated that, having the list of coast-signals adopted by the
French in one of his pockets, Captain Mullon, uring his
short agonies, drew forth a paper, which he imnined was
the right one (but which really was not), and died biting
it to pieces. Here was a trait of heroism I And yet no
French writer, as far as we can discover, has recorded the
fact.

In the description of the attack upon Toulon we
find the following notice of Napoleon, then arising
young officer, which shows the confidence he had
in himself, and the contempt in which he held
those about him :

Napoleon Buonaparte was present in there attacks. The
following anecdote of him is extracted from a French his-
torical work:—" Un jeune homme do vingt-trois ens flit
jute capable et digne du commandement de l'artillerie ; on
la lui cantle. Ce jeune homme avait nevi une education
tout militaire, et l'on remarquait dej a qu'un amour
ardent pour la gloire enflammait le genie de Buona-
parte. c'etait lui-meme. L'habilete et la hardiesse do
ses dispositions se font remarquer. A I'attaque du fort
Pharon, un commissaire de la convention critique et con-
damne la position d'une batterie. Buonaparte lui dit avec
flerte : Melez-vous de votre metier de representant ; laissez-
moi faire le mien d'artilleur : cette batterie restera Id, et jo
reponds du succa." The battery, it appears, did fully
succeed, and Buonaparte received the applause of the
generals present; shortly afterwards he was himself made
a brigadier-general.

As a book of reference this work may claim a
place in every library. Every engagement which
took place during the war, whether between
fleets, squadrons, or single frigates, is nar-
rated with a quiet truthfulness which is deserving
of the highest commendation, and it is satisfactory
when comparing various incidents here related
with the accounts given of the same transactions
by those who were personally eugaged, to find that
the discrepancies are so trivial as not to be worthy
of notice. As an instance of this, we would refer
our readers to the account here given of the attack
on the French fleet in the Basque Roads, and that
given by Lord Dundonald in his interesting
" Autobiography of a Seaman." We will conclude
our notice with the following narrative of the cap-
ture of a privateer by a packet-ship, which shows
what daring and determination can effect

On the Ist of December Lis Britannic Majesty's packet
the Antelope, Captain Curtis, being of Cumberland har-
bour, in Cuba, on her way to England, from Port-Royal,
Jamaica, which port she had quitted three days previous,
fell in with two French schooner-privateers, of formidable
appearance. The packet immediately bore up for Jamaica,
and was followed, under all sail, by the privateers. The
Atalante, one of the two, outsailing her consort, continued
the chase alone. During that and the follow ng day, un-
til 4 p.m., the packet rather gained upon her pursuer; but
the wind suddenly failing, the latter took to her sweeps,
and soon swept up alongside the Antelope. After the ex-
change of a few shots, the schooner sheered off. On the
2d, at 5 a.m., it still being calm, the Atalante again swept
up, an 1, on reaching her opponent, grappled her on the
starboard side. The privateer then poured in a broadside,
and attempted, under cover of the smoke, to carry the An-
telope by boarding ; but the crew of the latter drove back
the assailants with great slaughter.
Among the sufferers by the privateers broadside, was the
packet's commander, Mr. Curtis, who fell to rise no more;
as did also the steward, and a French gentleman, a passen-
ger. The first-mate, too, was shot through the body, but
survived. The second-mate having died of the fever soon
after the packet had sailed from Port-Royal, the command
now devolved upon Mr. Pasco, the boatswain, who, with
the few brave men left, assisted by the passengers
repulsed repeated attempts to board, made at intervals dur-
ing the long period that the vessels remained lashed
together. At last, the privateersmen, finding they had
caught a tartar, cut the grapplings, and attempted to sheer
off. The boatswain, observing this, ran aloft, and lashed
the schooner's square-sail yard to the Antelope's fore
shrouds. Immediately a well-directed volley of small arms
was poured into the privateer, and the crew called for quar-
ter. This, notwithstanding the Atalante had fought with
the red or bloody flag at her mast-head, to indicate that no
quarter would be shown by her, was granted, and possession
was forthwith taken of the prize.
The Antelope mounted six 3-pounders, and had sailed
with 27 hands ; but she had lost four by the fever, and
two wore ill in their hammocks, consequently the packet
commenced the action with 21 men, exclusive of the pas-
sengers. Her total loss in the action was three killed and
four wounded. The Atalante mounted eight 3-pounders ;
and her complement was 65 men, composed of French,
Americans, and Irish. Of these the first and second cap-
tains and 3d men were killed, and 17 officers and men
wounded. The Atalante had been fitted out at Charleston,
in the United States. The Antelope now carried her prize
in triumph to Annotta Bay, Jamaica, where the two vessels
arrived on the morning succeeding the action.
The unparalleled bravery of one of the Antelope's passen-
gers, a M. Nodin, formerly a midshipman in the French
navy, deserves to be recorded. It is related of this young
man, that he stood by the helm and worked the ship, armed
with a musket and a pike, which he alternately made use
of: that, when he perceived the Atalante's men climbing
the quarters of the Antelope, he quitted the helm, and with
the pike despatched such as came within his reach, returh-
in,g at proper intervals to right the vessel ; that, with the
pike and musket, he killed or disabled several men, and
continued his astonishing exertions for upwards of an hour
and a quarter.

Domestic Memoirs of the Royal Family and (f the
Courtr,of England, chiefly at Shene and Rich-
ni,ond. By Folkestone Williams, F.G.S., 3 vols.
Hurst and Blackett.
Richmond and its environs have always been
favourite localities for the ruminations of the anti-
quarian and archesologist. Its earlier traditions
have the dignity of history, while the throng of
literary notabilities of the eighteenth century who
flitted about its neighbourhood, have invested it
with especial interest in the eyes of readers of a
later date. Mr. Folkestone Williams has rather
selected the regal and courtly view of his subject
than the literary aspect, and has evidently be-
stowed great pains and considerable industry in the
prosecution.of his researches. He has treated it very
fully, and haS enlivened his pages with numerous
quotations. He carries back his observations to a
date of respectable antiquity, commencing his first
chapter with an account of the passage of the
Thames by Csesar and the Roman Army. Some
writers have asserted that the invaders forded the
river near Walton, becaus? iron-headed stakes have
there been found in the bed of the river. Mr. Wil-
liams, however, prefers the statement which fixes
the passage in the direction of Kingston, and tells
sis that in the Saxon period there was a ford there,
which, by way of distinction, was called Morford—
the great ford, and he thinks it likely that to this
the Romans would have advanced. Great
changes have taken place in the face of
the country since that time, but with the
exception of the transformation of the gloomy
forests into pleasant woods, the Surrey hills
bear few traces of the intervening centuries.
Of the origin of the name of Kingston, he gives
the following account :—" When Roman dominion
ceased in Britain, the massive fortresses and beau-
tiful villas were severally razed. to the ground, or
left to gradual interment under the rubbish heaped
upon the site. Thamesa fared worse than many
stations, because the very invaders were so tho-
roughly sensible of the beauty of the neighbour-
hood, that they established a settlement on the
ruins, which grew into a town of such importance,
that several of the Saxon kings were crowned there,
and made it their ordinary residence. It was
thence called Kyngeston, which name it has pre-
served." From the Roman epoch, Mr. Williams
passes almost immediately to the reign of Edward
'IL, and gives a minute account of the architec-
tural arrangements of the king's manor house,
at Shene, which he illustrates by numerous citations
from the romancists and ballads of the day. The
Court manners, costumes and armour, the ward-
robes, jewels and furniture, even the fashionable
romances and court literature, are included in his
description. After the death of Edward 111.,
which took place at Shene, we pass into the
reign of his unfortunate successor. Richard 11., and
his " Good Queen Anne," were fond of the locality,
and during their lives a Royal palace was com-
pleted there. " Good Queen Anne," like her hus-
band's illustrious grandfather, also died at Shene,
but these deaths did not deter subsequent sove-
reigns from making it a favourite place of [re-
sort. Henry V. restored the manor house,
and founded three religious houses in the
vicinity of Shene. In the second volume we come
to the busy days of Bluff King Hal and Car-
dinal Wolsey—names inseparably connected with
Hampton Court and its splendours. The Princess
Mary and Edward VI. often resided at Richmond,
and numerous anecdotes, incidents, and details are
interwoven respecting this time. Queen Elizabeth
is evidently a great favourite of the author's;
but, despite her queenly qualities and un-
doubted capacity for government, we fear he will
not be able to convince his readers of her claims to
affection and respect as a woman as well as a ruler.
Prince Henry, the eldest son of James 1., was
long a resident at Richmond, and had formed
a gallery of paintings there. During the Pro-
tectorate a Parliamentary survey was made of
Richmond Court, and from this curious docu-
ment our author extracts the most remarkable
portions. In speaking of these Parliamentary.pro-
ceedings he says :—" Most of the Crown lands
changed hands ; some were preserved for the
Commnwealth, and Richmond New Park was
settled upon the City of London, as an act of favour
from the house. The regalias were ordered t)
be melted down, the jewels disposed of, the statues
and inscriptions to be demolished, and the pictures
and furniture to be sold. This order was felt as a
cruel blow in the neighbourhood of all the Royal
palaces—particularly so at Richmond, where the
loyalty of the inhabitants was to be punished by
the dispersion of the treasures their Princes had
there accumulated, and by the demolition of a
, favourite resort of the Court. That magnificent

I mansion, in which Henry the Eighth had enter-
tained, right royally, imperial guests ; where
Queen Elizabeth had loved 'to retire her virgin
dignity from the pressure of affairs of State;
the residence Prince Henry had adorned with
the taste of a Francis and the munificence
of a Medici—whose corridors had ',been familiar to
the dignity of Wolsley, the wisdom of Burghley,
and the gallantry of Sidney, Essex, and Raleigh—
and whose presence chamber had been illumined
by the beauties of a dozen successive generations,
was to be explored in every part and all its fea-
tures noted in detail, preliminary to its being
offered for sale to the best bidder." • The valuation,
we are told, amounted to X 10,782,195. 2d. for the
materials. " The property was sold in April 1650,
to Thomas Rookesly, William Goodrick, and Adam
Baynes, for themselves and other creditors of the
late King, but was subsequently transferred to Sir
Gregory Norton, one of his judges, a man but of
mean fortune before these times, 'es it is said had
Richmond Houseand much of the King's property for
an inconsiderable value, only they were the price of
royal blood, lie being one of the prince's judges and a
Bumper to the last." After the Restoration many
members of the Court were resident at Richmond
and its neighbourhood. Coming down to the reigns
of the Georges, we have full particulars of Queen
Caroline's improvements at Richmond, Prince Fre-
derick's Court at Kew, the unpopularity of Princess
Emily as Ranger of Richmond Park, the residence
of George 111. and Queen Charlotte at Kew, and
the record closes with a list of the celebrities who
have frequented the White Lodge. Mr. Williams's
work displays considerable research and labour, and
will be very attractive to those of antiquarian
tastes, although some readers may find it
tedious from its length and from the absence of
originality. Those who interest themselves in
matters of topographical research and local anec-
dote, will not object to minuteness of detail, and
those who reside in the neighbourhood should cer-
tainly secure these chronicles of -t'_e objects and
associations of interest which surround them.

MR. RAREY AT THE A

(114...12T RA.

The week of the Derby, during which" the Horse
and his Rider" give the pervading tone and topic
to English conversation, was very appropriately
closed by Mr. Rarey's last public performance in
London. On Saturday morning he gave his final
"grand fashionable demonstration" at the Alham-
bra, in Leicester-square. The terms of the announce-
ment proved a truthful description. The attendance
at this final demonstration was not only numerous,
but composed, to a very perceptible degree, of the
equestrian order of the metropolis. Rotten-row and
the Ladies' Mile were fully represented on the well-
filled seats round the circle. The weather was most
unpropitious, departing May—with more than the
caprice of April—bringing an almost wintry storm
of rain. It was heavy enough to have thinned a
dozen concert rooms, but it had no deterring- influ-
ence on Mr. Rarey's admirers. This fact alone says
much for the attractive character of his exhibition.
It is no longer a novelty ; it is not addressed to the
eye, as a spectacle ; it derives nothing from deco-
ration or ornament—more severely simple it could
hardly be; there is no one feature of the circus,
no touch of the arena, about ,it. This com-
plete reality of the whole ertibition is what
renders it so attractive. Mr Rarey's run-
ning comments on the character of the horse, his
genuine admiration of the " noble animal," and the
invariable success of the practical illustrations of
his main principle—that you have only to appeal
to the equine intell to command its physical
power—all chnbine to arrest the attention. lire are
not sure butt the exhibition touches the conscience,
if men were honest enough to confess it. . Mr.
Rarey describes the horse as so intelligent, amiable,
and virtuous generally that there were moments
when we felt the injustice of calling and treating
him as the inferior animal, and doubted whether, if
the bulk of mankind could rise to Mr. Rarey's esti-
mate of the highly moral nature of the horse, the
world would not be considerably the better for it.
-We never before so well comprehended Swift's
fearfully sarcastic picture of a society in which the
horse is the intelligent bring and man is the brute.
But, in the meantime, colts growing up under
the demoralising influences of humanity are deve-
loped into horses full of all manner of vice ; and two
most degenerate speciments of the race are in wait-
ing for Mr. Rare) to subdue. They are the " un-
governable animals, noted for vicious propensities,"
of the announcement. The first subject, introduced,
however, has not fallen to such a depth of depra-
vity. It is simply a stout gray,-of quiet demeanour,
not too well fed, apparently, and very imperfectly
groomed. Mr. Rarey has no previous acquaintance
with him—knows only that he is not particularly
wicked, and has accepted his destiny as a horse,
without any rebellious manifestations. The mere
details of the modus operandi can be better shown
at first on the' tamer disposition. The process of
strapping the near leg was therefore completed
without any difficulty ; but when the off one was
dcublcd under Min also the quiet gray took ill, and
showed not temper exactly but considerable cha-
racter. He plunged deliberately, made long kneel-
ing pauses, buried his nose in the straw, or
turned his head round inquiringly, as if asking
what, in the name of oats, he was expected to
do ? "A good deal of self-will here," Mr. Rarey re-
marked, like a phrenologist examining a head.
Finally, at his own time (rathera long one), the gray
turned over on his side, as the easier position, and
thenceforth was utterly indifferent to what was
done to him. A contempt of the irregular and, in
his case, unnecessary proceedings was evident : gra-
dually he was regarded by the spectators with
something of the feeling excited by a too pacific
bull in a Spanish ring, and dismissed to the stable.
The second subject was of a more interesting de-
gree of viciousness—ay, two years old, of racing
stock, slight and lithe 7? limb ; the wickedness of
this filly consisted in passionate refusals to bear
any badge of servitude beyond the bridle. Ordinary
discipline had failed to reconcile her to the saddle ;
and all who had mounted her she had flung. To
correct this determination, fatal to racing prospects,
she had been consigned to Mr. Rarey. We are not
certain that this was her first lesson ; if so, its, suc-
cess was wonderful. The resistance was violent,
but did not last long. She was sooner on her side
and in a state of subjection than the gray ; slue was
saddled and mounted and ridden—all with ease.
And the quicker triumph over the more evil nature
was greeted with loud applause.

The interest of the exhibition deepened, on. a
sound dramatic principle, in the last act. The third.
subject was the finest, physically, and the worst,
morally, of the day. A white Arab horse, of beau-
tiful proportions, plunged into the ring ; he was
stoutly muzzled, and tasked the strength of two
men to hold him in by long head-straps. He was
the " frightful example" of the exhibition. Unless
previously muzzled, no bridle could be placed on
him; and we understood he had never been groomed.
But he was a splendid creature in spite of his wick-
edness; nay, in some degree, because of it. After
much plunging and rearing, the straps being cast
off, Mr. Rarey was left to contend with the fiery
A rab alone. Keeping close to his near shoulder, and
never for a moment quitting his grasp of the bridle,
held very short, Mr. Rarey was carried by the beau-
tiful demon round the ring, and across it, and back
again ; it was warm work, plainly; but to be done. At
a favourable moment the strap was passed over the
hoof, fastened, and the Arab, shorn of half his
strength,was conquered. There was a sharp struggle
when the other leg was fettered. The horse stood
almost upright, and fought tlaa air, in his rage,
making the front seats rather -.nervous as he ap-
proached them. But he had nothing for it, except
to lie down, like his predecessors—even like the
tame gray—and submit to be sat upon, and strode
over, and handled fearlessly. His muzzle was
taken off, and he resented nothing. He looked up,
saw it was Mr. Rarey, and renounced the conflict
—as resigned as the 'coon that came down without
troubling Colonel Crockett to fire ! The subsequent
saddling, mounting, and drum beating, he took as
matters of course, and the performance closed with
his submission.

is undobutedly successful. But we think it requires
his nerve, temper, and self-possession in any who
may attempt it. And the combination of these
qualities, we fear, is too rare to enable us to predict
a new era of appreciation and kindliness to the
horse from his t
mas er consequent on the new teach-
ing.

SP LC'
SEIINICES AT ST. SEPULCIIRE.S
C! 1;.• u R,—Thc fifth of a series of special services in St.
Sepulchre's Church, Snow-hill, WaS held last evening.
Alter the evening prayers had been the Rev. T. H.
Ball, afternoon lecturer at St...k.ndreves, Holborn, delivered
an exceedingly appropriate and interesting discourse, from
the first four and part of the 11th verses of the 2d chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles. The preacher first gave an
histoaical account of the feast of Pentecost, and showed
that the Holy Ghost descended upon the anniversary of
that day, as related in the text. He then went on to show
the personality and distinct agency of the Holy Spirit in
the conversion of sinners, and concluded with an affection.
ate appeal to the hearts of his hearers. The attendance was
large, and the se,vico throughout most interesting, The
musical portion was beautiful, aided as it was by Mr.
Cooper's skilful manipulation of the most beautiful organ.
We understand that these services will be continued for
several Sundays, with the sanction of the Rev. J. Jackson,
the vicar,

At this period of the experiments the Lords of the
Admiralty arrived, and unfortunately, owing to a
mistake with regard to the elevation of the dis-
tance-sight, and perhaps some anxiety to avoid hit-
ting too low, the shot passed clear over the vessel.
The fourth
was also hit very high; nevertheless,
though the gun was trained aft and the shot there-
fore struck obliquely, it passed through the iron
and sides, and struck the end of a deck beam, in
which it buried itself The fifth shot, again, pierced
through the centre of o
a. plate and into the main
deck of the ship, d rf 71
before it a mass of
splinters and an inu„,:e irong
bolt, which, from
the position in which it was found—among the
fragments of wood en the maina deck—had evi-
dently been dashed, through d

with a force only inikior to that of the projectile
itself. It was noticed that at the instant of
sidea
emitted,
con-
cussion between this shot and the vessel's
broad sheet of intensely bright flame was
almost as if a gun had been fired from the
Trusty in reply. The. Duke of Somersetthaie4l,
comp3nied by Admiral Pelham, Admiral m
and Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, went on board'
the floating battery, and minutely inspected the
results of the trials ns shown by the perforations
in the iron and timbers. One thing which was
shown very conclusively by this examination
was that the oak behind the iron plates could have
offered very little resistance to the passage of the
shot, inasmuch as it was so utterly rotten that in

" The second battalions which are now serving at
home are not to be divided as above without special
orders, though they should, of course, be formed
into 12 companies.
" The Pipe Major and the five pipers of the High-
land Regiments, which are in addition to their
establishments, belong to the service companies.
" By command,
JAMES YORKE SCARLETT, Adjutant-Gen.
The officers of the 3d (or Scots Fusileer) Regi-
ment of Guards intend to celebrate the 200th anni-
versary of the formation of that gallant and distin-
guished corps by a grand banquet. Those noble-
men and gentlemen who have at any time served
in the regiment will be invited to attend. The
commemorative entertainment will take place in the
large and elegantly decorated room at Willis's
Rooms, King-street, St. James's. His Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., as colonel of
the regiment, will preside at the banquet, his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort, formerly colo-
nel-in-chief of the regiment, has been pleased to ex-
press his intention to be present on the occasion. The
dinner is appointed to take place on the 19th pros.
The following is the number of the reinforce-
ments ordered to proceed to India from the depot
battalions at Chatham, Colchester, Canterbury,
Buttevant, and Winchester, to augment the service
companies of the infantry regiments serving in the
Bengal, Bombay, and Madras Presidencies, viz.:-
80 men of the Ist battalion of the Ist Royals; 210
men of the Ist battalion sth Fusileers ; 46 men of
the Ist battalion 6th Regiment ; 76 men of the Ist
battalion 18th Royal Irish; 60 men of the Ist bat-
talion 19th Regiment ; 70 men of the Ist battalion
20th Regiment ; 70 men of the Ist battalion 23d
Royal Welsh Fusileers ; 60 men of the Ist battalion
24th Regiment ; 123 men of the 27th Inniskillens ;
75 men of the 34th Regiment ; 98 men of the 35th
(Royal Sussex) Regiment ; 186 men of the 43d
Light Infantry ; 30 men of the 51st (the King's Own)
Light Infantry ; 50 men of the 52d Light Infantry ;
93 men of the 54th Regiment ; 149 men of the 06th ,

far less dangerous than surf or breakers would be.
When it moves about it is afloat, and when afloat
there is always water enough beneath it to allow a
cable of half an inch or more diameter, to lie un-
disturbed on the bottom of the sea.
The delicate shells, weeds, crustacea, and other
animate and inanimate productions which cover
the bottom of the Arctic Sea in latitudes fax north
of where it is proposed this cable shall be placed,
afford the best proof that the bottom of
the Northern Sea is a far safer and pleasanter place
of sojourn than that surface over which we Arctic
seamen have lately so often sailed and laboured.
People therefore, when reading our adventures and
hair-breadth escapes in wooden vessels upon that
Arctic Sea, should take carp not to confound the
top with the bottom of those ice-encumbered regions.
That there may be some difficulties in the route
I do not deny, but I see none that a better knowledge
of oceanic telegraphy will not every year render
more easily surmountable, or none that engineering
and nautical skill will not meet and master. The

heavy ice-drift along the coast of Labrador indicates,
in my opinion, a. generally deep water coast. Ice-
bergs would otherwise ground far out to sea, which
is not the case ; but beyond that fact we know
nothing of the soundings, or of that seacoast of
the Can adas. I consider the main difficulty of
the North-about roue to lie between the point at
which about 150 fath(:.

But if anywhere upon the boytom of that sub-
merged shore of Labrador a line of c:,"eP sea sound-

north of it, so as to form a sort of trough r,...nnlng

Tne folio wing letter has been received from Rome
dated the 14th inst. :—" The corvette the Immacu-
late Conception has quitted Ancona for Venice,
whence she will bring eight pieces of cannon
and 30 horses for the Papal army, a gift from
the Duchess of Parma. Other cannon, sent as
presents by German princes, are expected, and
it is asserted that the King of Prussia is about
to send the Pope 3,000 Minie rifles. The Viscount
de Villele has arrived in Rome, with his two sons,
who have enlisted in the Papal army. The Viscount
has had an audience of the Holy Father, who has
appointed him a Chevalier of the Order of St.
Gregory. The Papal Government had ordered the
arrest of M. Tittoni, a brother of Louis Tittoni, who
was banished from Rome on the 19th of March ; but
M. Tittoni had taken refuge in the French Academy
The Director of Police then wrote a letter to the
French Ambassador, in which he told him that M.
Tittoni had sought shelter at the French Academy,
an inviolable sanctuary, and he requested the
Ambassulor to indicate some mode of arresting M.
Tittoni without violating the asylum he bad chosen.
The French Ambassador replied that he had not been
a ware that M. Tittoni had sought shelter in the
Ffloch Academy, but that he would compel him to
quit „.t. M. Tittoni, who was conscious of not
havingmmitted any crime, then surrendered him-
self to o
the governor of the prison of St. Michael.
The Roman journal has announced that among'.

The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown.
Mr. Brent held a second inquest in the Board-
room of Clerkenwell workhouse on the body of a
newly-born female child, which was found in Al.
ford-square, Pentonville.
In this case a boy, at half-past eight in the
morning, picked up a parcel having an ()iter
covering of oilcloth, tightly bound and knotted
with string. He stood by the palings where he
picked up the prize, and being anxious to see its
contents, he after much trouble, succeeded in un-
d9infr, the knots, and after removing the oilcloth, a
black aprom, and a sack, he found the dead body of
a child. A woman who was watching him from an
opposite window desired him to leave the body, the
boy complying, and running off to tell his father.
On their return to the spot a constable and several
persons had assembled and the body was conveyed
to the workhouse. Mr. H. J. Brown made a post-
mortem examination, and found it to be a fine,
healthy female child, of full growth, it had breathed,
but had been unattended to. The feet were tightly
bound up towards its head as though in a bundle,
and its nose and face on the left side were flattened,
and its tongue protruding, as if the head had been
pressed violently against a hard substance. The
left parietal bone was also separated
soatdeidfrrgoamnitsheed to a
occi-
pital bone, and the brain was
fluid state, Decomposition, however, had so far
advanced that he could not state whether death
was really caused by violence or not.
The jury, after some deliberation, returned a 'ver-
dict of " Death from culpable and wilful neglect,"
not feeling themselves justified, from the evidence, I
