THE LEVIATHAN.

--

Yesterday launching operations Were resumed
and continued- throughout the day with great suc-
cess, and indeed with results more than could have
been anticipated, the vessel having move i, it was
found at the close of the day's operations, a greater
distance than she has ever moved on any previous
day since the commencement of launching.
Owing to an extraordinary rumour which had
got afloat to the effect that the monster had really
capsized, a !al% e number of persons hurried to
Millwall, and thronged the shore throughout the
day, anxious to witness the disaster. It need
hardly be said that all rumours of the kind were
without foundation. The Leviathan rests now as
fairly on her ways as ever she did, and we may
rest well assured that she will keT her perpendi-
cular until she is fairly afloat, by means of the
massive tackle which, around the large drums,
fixed like bastions in the yard, keep her movements
in check.

Pressure was kept up from an early hour yester-
day morning on the ship's cradles from the
hydraulic machines, and by one o'clock the mon-
ster had glided steadily down her ways 8 feet 7
inches forward, and 8 feet 10 inches aft. To
show that the vessel moves now much easier on her
ways, it may be stated, that the pressure required
to move her yesterday was only 20 cwt. to the
square inch, while on Saturday it took from 27
cwt. to 30 cwt. to the s quare inch to move her.
The. pressure on the whole throughout the day
did not exceed 24 cwt. to the square inch.
In consequence of the hydraulic pumps getting
out of order at the foremost cradle, the stern got
down at one time 18 inches more than the stern.
However, under the superintendence of Messrs.
Hepworth and Roberts, the damage was quickly
repaired, and the vessel was soon again brought
about square.
Operations closed at a quarter-paA six o'clock,
when it was found that the vessel had gone during
the day, 21 feet 7 inches at the fore-cradle, and 21
feet 3 inches at the aft.

Among the principal visitors admitted to the
yard during the day to witness the operations, was
Sir Charles Pasley, who appeared to take a deep
interest in the works. _ .

Operations will be continued tc-day, beginning
at eight o'clock a.m.

PROGRESS OF THE LAUNCH THIS DAY.
The progress of the hunching of this monster
ship proceeded most favourably during the whole
of the morning, and so favourable that Mr. Brunel
thought it necessary not to apply the whole of the
rams and to lessen the pressure, and oven under
those circumstances so successful were the
operations, that she went inch by inch,
and at twelve o'clock when the men left
off for dinner she had gone down 12 feet 2
inches aft, and 11 feet S inches forward, and at
high water she had 7i feet under her. Mr. Brunel
is sosatisified with the progress of the ship, that he is
rather disposed to retard than force her further pro-
gress as he does not purpose the final launch before
the Ast. When the men resumed after dinner,
the ship yielded to the first pressure, and was
gradually progressing.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)
London, England, 1858-01-12

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.—In a town of Prussia the
melancholy news of the death of Gen. Havelock
in the midst of so glorious a career, and imme-
&ately after having outstood and braved all
the dangers and difficulties of his position in
Lucknow, has created as warm and as painful
an interest as in any town in Great Britain
—that town is Bonn : and in that town there
is a house where the news has produced more
poignant grief, more inconsolable sorrow, than it has
caused in any house, even in Great Britain itself ;
and that is the house where General Havelock's
widow and his family reside still, as they have also
resided now for some years. General Havelock
himself brought them over thither from England,
settled them there, and lived with them some time,
1
so that a very lively remembrance and warm in-
terest always accompanied the General in all his
movements from many hearts in the little univer-
sity town of Bohn. If sympathy could alleviate
sorrow, that of the family of General Havelock
would be light.

CIIBISTY'S MINSTRELS.

That we move in a cycle has received further
confirmation. Some 12 or 14 years ago London
was awakened to a new sensation by a baud of sable
harmonists, who, having taken up their quarters at
the St. James's Theatre, retaiuod profitable posses-
sion of the premises for many months—and when
they had exhaus' ecl their theme and made an hon-
ourable retreat, they left behind them a spirit
which has never completely expired ; for, even
though at length it descended upon certain peripa-
tetic hordes, we never forgot the original personi-
fication. But who bad not had enough of that sort
of thing ! Who did not feel a Sir Charles Cold-
stream sympathy—a painful conviction that thele
was " nothing in it" that could now excite the old
sensation 1 The Christy's Minstrels, who madetheir
166th appearance last evening at the Polygraphic)
Hall, in King William-street, have dispelled the
illusion, and assured us that this class of
eir
s entertain
ment is by no means " used up." Thongs,
choruses, dances, anecdotes, and other dor neateleions
the
of negro eccentricity, are fresh, as of y,
Performances of Pell's troupe ; but Christy's Min
strels are a better trained troupe, and, from the
crowded state of their hall last night, and the
genuine expression of satisfacth
tion on the par o
t f
the audience, it would apdear at the Ethiopian
cycle is performed, and that the second days of
satiety are yet far in the future.

PORTRAIT OF LORD CAMPBELL.--The Lord Chief-Jus-
tice of England, on the occasion of his recent visit to
Edinburgh, embraced the opportunity, long wished for,
we believe, of sitting to the President
of the Royal'
Scottish Academy for his portrait ; and although Sir J.
Watson Gordon was rather limited as to time, Lill, from
the fine I'ght which fortunately prevailed during the
sittings, and the patience displayed by Lord Campbell,
who proved an excellent and untiring sitter, the portrait
(a half-length)
not only a was completed in a few days, and it is
capital likeness, but a first-rate specimen of
Sir John's artistic talent. Though the selection of the
president to execute the portrait of the distinguished
Chief-Justice was only to be considered as a fitting tri-
bute to his great professional reputation, still, even in
that limited sense, it reflects honour on Scottish art, and
will, we feel assured, be viewed with feelings of gratifi-
cation not only by his professional brethren, but by the
public generally who take an interest in such matters.
The portrait, we understand, is intended for the next
exbibitioa of the Royal Academy. Besides that ot the
Lord Chief Justice, we observed in the president's
studio an admirable full-length of the Marquis of Dal-
housie, and a truthful and characteristic half-length of
Professor Simpson—free from the exaggeration which
prevails in most portraits of that eminent physician...-.

President Buchanan and the Secretary of the
Navy warmly approve and have acceded to, the
application of the Atlantic Telegraph Company for

FIRE IND LOSS OF TWO LIVES.

Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning a fire,
which caused the loss of two lives, took place at
the premises of Mr. W. Smith, coffeehouse-keeper,
No. 49, Gray's-inn-lane. The house contained ten
rooms, which were in the occupation of several
families. Police-constables Beattie, No. 59 G, and
Batchelor, No. 430 A,'discovered the smoke issuing
from the lower part of the building. Au alarm was
instantly raised, when Mr. Logreina, the Wizard of
'the Crystal Palace, jumped out of bed, and succeeded
in rescuing his wife and four children from the third
floor front. Mr. and Mrs. Odder, aged between 70
and 80 years, were in the top third floor back.
Henry Horne, the fire-escape conductor, arrived, and
planted his fire-escape against the house, followed
by fire-escape conductor Artell, from Hatton-
garden. Horne passed through the front-room
third floor, and got to the assistance of Mr.
and Mrs. Odder ; the former was bedridden,
and both very aged. This brave fellow seized
Mrs. Odder and her husband, but the flames
and smoke became so intense that neither the
escapeman nor the other two persons were able
to effect their retreat ; the man and his wife, sur-
rounded with flame, sank prostrate on the floor.
Horne, the conductor, as a last expedient, jumped
out of the window, and fell a distance of 30 feet,
but before leaving the house he was frightfully
burnt, and in making his exit he was so injured
that it was necessary to remove him to the Royal
Free Hospital, where he remains in a state of greAt
suffering. Mr. Curran, the house-surgeon, dressed
his wounds. In the course of a few minutes numer-
ous engines attended, but the fire had during the
interval reached every part of the premises. The
building was destroyed, and the furniture and other
effects reduced to ashes. As soon as the ruins were
sufficiently cooled search was made for the bodies
of the two unfortunate persons known to have
perished, and they were found clasped in each o Lher's
arms, terribly burnt. They were conveyed to the
workhouse in Gray's-inn-lane. It is not known
how the fire originated. Mr. Smith was insured in
the County Fire-office ; Mr. S. Baker, whose pre-
mises were also injured, was insured in the Nor-
wich Union ; and Mr. Wood, the dairyman, was
insured in the Phoenix Fire office.

THE POISONING CAS AT SHOREHAM.

Owing to the death Of Thomas. Puttick, men-
tioned .in yesterda'y's San, the jury resumed the
inquiry into ' this case N-esi:erday at' the Barrel',
Arms before MA'. F. .H. Geil, cu.oivr. Mr: Fuller,
surgeon, said that he had nodotibt ti_uat the deceased
died from arseuic: Charles Towse, carpenter, .de-
posied that he had known Thomas Puttick, the de-
ceased, fir nearly ,40 years. About three weeks
before Christmas he had been spending the evening
with him at hii (Puttick's) hous.e. On that occasion
Puttick stated that he kept tit, poison on the top
shelf of the cupboard driwnstairsi and asked wit-
ness to put a lock on a small chip box in which he
meant to keep the poison, as he said he was afraid
of getting-into trouble from its being kept where it
was. Although he was not afraid, he said, of his
wife or son meddling with it, yet as his wife was
subject to fits, and strangers were in the habit of
coming in to assist her, he was afraid of its falling
into improper hands. Witness also went to seethe
deceased on the afternoon of the Saturday after the
poison was taken. Witness then asked the deceased
if it were true, as he had heard, that the arsenic had
been found by Mr. Fuller, the surgeon, in the
chest upstairs. Deceased replied th it it was true.
Witness then said, " But that was not where you
told me you generally kept it." Deceased then said
" I shifted it." Witness asked him why ? Deceased
continued, "Well, old mate, you know every one
would have blamed me if it had been found in
the usual place." Several other witnesses were
then examined, but no additional light was
thrown upon the circumstances. After the
coroner had summed up, the jury retired for an
hour. On their return they gave the following
verdict :—" The jury find that Frederick Puttick,
Esther Ann Puttick, and Thomas Puttick died
from the effects of arsenic, which had been mixed
in hard pudding, and which penetrated the cab-
bage, boiled with the pudding which they (the de-
ceased) had partaken of for dinner, but how or by
what means mixed they have no evidence to show.
They also find that Thomas Puttick was guilty of
great negligence in leaving arsenic in a cupboard
which was accessible to his family, his wife being
subject to fits, which had a tendency to weaken
her intellect."

months old, improved Chilton breed ; Mr. G. Mor-
land. The heart weighed 15oz. Vrachms. The substance
of the left ventricle was much thicker than usual in
hypertrophia. The cavity of this ventricle was very
small, and of insufficient size to accommodate the free
return of blood from the lungs. Thence the supply of
blood throughout the body must have been defective,
and the health of this animal must, therefore, have been
seriously impaired. The livergave proof of an obstructed
circulation, being of a dark livid colour, while the hepatic
veins of the left lobe more especially were congested.
Their bloated extremities were easily seen on the surface
of the liver, and they presented the appearance of nu•
merons oblong livid spots, each of which wassurrounded
by a white circle, which marked the situation of the
empty portal veins. Here and there blood had actually
escaped from the overloaded hepatic vessels.

the muscular fibres were actually broken up, and that
many large fat cells had replaced them. Yet it is on
the strength of these papillary muscles that the tension
of the mitral valve depends during the contraction of

CH RISTY' S MINSTRELS.

That we mov e in a cycle has received further
confirmation. Some 12 or 14 years ago Loudon
was awakened to a new sensation by a band of sable
harmonists, who, having taken up their quarters at
the St. James's Theatre, retained profitable posses-
sion of the premises for many months—and when
they had exhausted their theme and made at. hon-
ourable retreat, they left behind them a spirit
which has never completely expired ; for, even
though at length it descended upon certain peripa-
tetic hordes, we never forgot the original personi-
fication. But who had not had enough of that sort
of thing 2 Who did not feel a Sir Charles Cold-
stream sympathy—a painful conviction that thole
way "nothing in it" that could now excite the old
Hall, in King William-Street, have dispelled the
sensation? The Christy's
166th appearance last
illusion, and assured us that this class of eveningMinstraet thels, who
Polygraphicmadethei
ir
entertain-
ment is by no means "used up." Their songs,
choruses, dances, anecdotes, and other delineations
of negro eccentricity, are fresh, as of yore were the
performances of Pell '8 troupe ; but Christy's Min
strels are a bettor trained troupe, and, from the
crowded state of their hall last night, and the
genuine expression of satisfaction on the part of
the audience, it would apdear that the Ethiopian
cycle is performed, and that the second days of
satiety are yet far in the future.

embraced the opportunity, long wished for,
we believe, of sitting to the President of the Royal
Scottish Academy for his portrait ; and although Sir J.
Watson Gerdon was rather limited as to time, still, from
the fine light which fortunately prevailed during the
sittings, and the patience displayed by Lnrd Campbell,
who proved an excellent and untiring sitter, the portrait
(a half-length). was completed in a few days, and it is
riot only a capital likeness, but a first-rate specimen of
Sir John's artistic talent. Though the selection of the
president to execute the portrait of the distinguished
Chief-Justice was (fly to be considered as a fitting tri-
bute to his great professional reputation, still, even in
that limited sense, it reflects honour on Scottish art, and
will, we feel assured, be viewed with feetings of gratifi-
cation not only by his professional brethren, bat by the
public generally who take an interest in such matters.
The portrait, we understand, is intended for the next
exhibition of this Royal Academy. Besides that of the
Lord Chief Justice, we observed in the president's

MELANCHOLY DEATH.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the
Kings Arms Inn, Durdbam-down, Bristol, on the
body of Mr. F. W. Howard. The deceased was a
partner in the firm of Henderson and Howard, who
carry on an extensive business as solicitors at
Bristol. He was 32 years of age, married, and had
three children Yesterday-morning he breakfasted
as usual with his wife, and then, as was his custom,
retired to his dressing-room to complete his attire.
A few minutes afterwards the report of a gun was
heard, and Mrs. Howard and a servant rushing
to the room, they found the deceased lying on
the floor on his back, with a gun a few paces
from him. A gentleman residing next door ran
for a surgeon, and Mr. Rossiter was soon in at-
tendance, but upon his arrival he found
the unfortunate man was quite dead. On
examining the corpse it appeared that death
had been occasioned by a charge of small
shot having entered the body just below the ribs on
the left side, and thence passed upwards into the
heart. Death must evidently have been instan-
taneous. The evidence adduced at the inquest all
went to show that the dreadful occurrence had
been the result of accident, The deceased had
appeared in his usual health and spirits up to the
morning of his death, and no possible reason could
be assigned why he should have meditated self-
destruct:on. He was well known to be an active
and enthusiastic sportsman, and was in the habit of
keeping a double-barrelled gun in his room. From
the position in which the body and gun were found,
the inference is that the deceased had been in the
act of " drawing" the charge out of one barrel,
when, from some unknown cause, it exploded.
This assumption is strengthened by the fact that
the lock of the gun was a peculiarly weak one, and
that the lock of the barrel which bad not been dis-
charged was found on full cock. Further than
this the hands of the deceased were found to be
dirtied with gunpowder, as if from having handled
the end of the ramrod. The coroner having
pointed out to the jury -the reasons for believing
that death had been accidental, an unanimous
verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. The
life of deceased was insured in the Minerva office,
on whose behalf Mr. A. Brittan watched the pro-
ceedings of the inquest.

THE HAVELOCK MEMORIAL.

[The following appeared in our late edition of yesterday
evening :—]

A public meeting, to found the proposed Havelock
memorial, was held this afternoon in Drury-lane

Theatre, which had been gratuitously placed at the
service cf the committee by the enterprising lessee,
E. T. Smith, Esq.
Amongst those present we observed the Marquis of
Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Earl of Cardigan, Sir
W. F. Williams, Bart., of liars, Marquis of Westmeath,
Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, M.P., and a great many
other noblemen and gentlemen. _ _ _

The chair was taken at two o'clock by his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief.
The noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, gala it
became his duty shortly to explain to the great assembly
he then saw before him the object of the meeting. It
was to award a mark of respect to the memory of one
who had deserved well of his country. (Loud

cheers.) He regretted, as it was one of his duties
to give a short history of the services of the
general, that he was not in the position of several

of the illustrious personages by whom he was sur•
rounded, and who had had the honour of enjoying the
friendship of so brave and honourable a gentleman. (Hear,

hear.) The 14ta Sir H. Havelock entered the army 43

years ago, in the 93d Regiment, and from that time

up to the unfortunate circumstance that led to his

death, he had distinguished himself in no ordinary
manner. (Loud cheers.) In many ware in India he
was foremoet in the fight—(hear, hear)—and by his
daring achievements in Affghanistan he had set an
example worthy of imitation by every young officer i❑
her Maj,sty's service. (Cheers.) The recent mutiny
in India had in the first instance been greatly checked

by the )us Havelock, and he felt certain that it
would be ultimately put down by the exertions of his
gallant friend Sir Colin Campbell. (Immense cheering.)
He considered the first dawn of returning prosperity
dated from the success of Sir H. Havelock.—(hear, hear)
—and it was on that account chiefly that Englishmen

felt bound to do him honour. (Cheers.) He it was
who at the moment of the greatest anxiety, uncertainty,
doubt, difficulty, and danger, was selected by the Indian
Government to lead that column of troops who at first
made a most successful advance on Cawnpore, was then

COURT OF CHANCERY.

APPEAL --THE COUNTESS OE MOENINGTON V. KEANE.
The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was re
Bunted this morning. _

This was a suit brought by the Countess of Morning-
ton to enforce specific performance of a certain
agreement in articles of separation, entered into
between her late husband and herself in 1834.
The contention is whether an annuity provided
to her of one thousand a-year upon a house
in No. 3, Saville-row, Westminster, had priority to the
defendant, who had an incumbrance on the property in
question..

Counsel in the cause, Mr. Rolt, Q.C. ; and Mr. Free-
ling appeared for the plaintiff.
The Solicitor-General (Sir Hugh WAlmont Cairns),
Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., Mr. De Gex, Mr. Hislop Clarke,
and Mr. Druca, for the defendant.
The Solicitor-General resumed his argument for the
the defendant, and in conclusion asked that the appeal
be dismissed with costs.
Mr. De Gex followed on the same side.
The case was likely to occupy the court the whole of
the day.
