L ATV INTELLIGENCE.—Airay 28.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE;

COURT OF QITEEN'S BENCH;
THE QUEEN V. DIIGDALE.
At the rising of the Court the defendant, Mr.
Dugdale, who had been convicted in this court of
the misdemeanour of 'selling obscene prints in
Holywell.street, and sentenced to-12 monthsLim-,
prisonment in the Qaeen's Prison, applied
,for a
rule calling upon certain parties to brine, into court,
the prints and books which he alleged they had ille-
gally seiz d to a large amount. The applicant
stated that property to the value of 3,0001. had
been seized, and that a consideratle portion of it
was unobjectionable on the score of morality ; and
what he wanted was, that when the property was
produced all that was objectionable should be de-
stroyed, and the remainder given up to him.
Lord Chnipbt-11 said the Court had no power to
do what was asked.
The applicant reiterated his complaint, and said
the Court had already male an order that the pro-
perty should be inspected by a gentleman to be
appointed by the Master, but that only a portion
of the property was produced to him. The parties
had seized the whole of his property, worth several
thousand pounds.
Mr. Justice Erle suggested to the applicant that
he should bring an action.
The applicant said be had already brought an
action and got damages, but they had taken away
all his means. He called on their lordships to tell
him what he mustdo.
Lord Campbell said the court could not advise
him.

Her Majesty's ship Marlborough, 131, Captain
Lord F. H. Kerr, made a good trial of her stew:ll-
- powers and speed yesterday at Stokes Bay,
I which yielded some very satisfactory results for
the makers of her engines, Messrs. Maudslay. The
first run, with the tide, realised a speed of 11.501
knots ;. the second, against the tide, 9.399 ; third,
',with tide,. 11.880 • fourth, against tide, 9.230 ;
fifth, with tide, 6.12.203 ; sixth, against tide,
9.254, giving a mean average of 10.625 knots
'The pitch of the screw was 29 feet 5 in. ; draught
! of water, 27 feet 3 in. art, and 25 feet sin. forward;
force of. wind, 3; • mean revolutions, 50 ; :the
boilers gave a good command of steam ; and the
lenginss worked .admirably in every pact ; there
were no hot bearings or other defects. The experi-
ments will be continued to develops other results.
Mr. S. B. Cook, late mister in charge of the
Admiralty yacht Black Eagle at WoPwich, and
subsequentlffor a short time superintendent of
the transport sLipping in the Royal Arsenal, was
discovered on Thursday evening, at half-past seven,
in an almost lifeless condition at his residence
on Plumstead Common, although tip. to that
moment he hai enjoyed theo moat uninterrupted
and robust health. Dr. Bosgey, a medical prapti-
tianer of Woolwich, happened to be passing at the
time, and promptly attended. He was then suf-
fering from an acute spasmodic affection produced
by water on the chest, and in a few minUtes he had
cewed to breathe. As master commanding the
Buick Eagle, which vessel was frequently employed
in conveying the continental Princess to and from
England, Mr. Cook was present:A with various
: c' stly snuff-boxes and diamond rings, in testimony
• of his effieent seamanship and courteous attention
to his Royal guests. . The deceased received his
appointment as master, R.N., in 1858, and was 52
years of age.

The applicant then said h 3 had another applica-
tion to make, which was, so far as we could collect
the nature of his complaint, against his own attor-
ney, to whom he said he had paid the sum of 3001.,
though his bill of costs amounted only to 2631.
Mr. Justice Erie said the Court could grant a
rule on the attorney to deliver his bill of core, to
be taxed by the Master, and to refund what money,
if any, he had been overpaid.—Rule accordingly.
The applicant still pressed the Court for a return
of his property, but
Lord Campbell said the Court could do no more
for him.
The applicant, who appeared on th's, as on
f rmer occasions, to be much excited, said his lord-
ship must grant his application ; but his lordship
and the other judges left the court.

Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, begs leave to remove an erroneous
impression which exists amongst some of his eu,tomers, that he has
retired, or is about to retire, from business. This impression (which
is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen in consequence of the re-
tirement and selling off f a jeweller of the sane name, also of New
Bond-street, but with whom C. F. Hancock is not, and never has
been, in any way connected, either in business or by relationship.

The final arrangements fir
tion which is to lay the Atlantic Teleirsaph,AideS
weigh are now all but completed, and in all
probability the ships will sail during to-morrow
(Saturday). The whole of the aithle, with the excep-
tion of about 90 miles not yet completed, has been
coiled away on the Agatheinnon and Niagara,
both of which ships have, been removed, from the
basin atelteyhamo and are now lying at-anchor in
Hamoaze until the order for their departure arrive
froth the Admiralty. Several .afterations have been
made in the arrangements for ecinducting the opera-
tions since the eteempt-of last year. The greatest
meueitig from mid- ocean, and laying

cussed. Its advantages are obvintise as the opera-,

The alterations which hav6 been made in the pay-

public. -le has been set up on h ard both the ships,-
and alter a preliminary trial-has been pronounced
by the engineers to be perfect, as far as can•be judged..
of at present. Of course it is needless to say that
the machines havii-all b>en housed in to prevent
any of the running rigging getting foul of -them
during the working of the ship. The expedition:
will he accompanied throughout by the Valorous
and Gorgon steam frigatee, which have been set
apart by the Admiralty fur the purpose. Very
little remains now to be done but to complete the
electrical experiments which are being conducted
Professorby Thonisetn, and Mr. Whitehouse, The:
electrician of the company. Wh,n ilipse are
finished, which will in all probability be tomorrow
(Saturday) evening, the expedition will then
set ;sail on the experimental trip. Etch ship
has been provided with some 2j miles of con-
demned cable, with wh'cli ths experiments will be,
tried. The ships when they leave the sound will
steer in a eouth-westerly direction out to the At-
'antics for the distance 0f.400 or 50j nail's, to as to
get into smite 2,500 fathoms water. Hero the two
ends of the experimental cable .will be joined up, ,
and the splice. lowered to the bottom. Etch of
the ships 'wilt then' steer in an opposite course for
15 mile;,. depesiting the -cable after then],
and trying the effect of various strains upon the
breaks'. The toporation involved io cuttinse, buoy-
ing, and picking up the en-T,, will then be gone
through, and finally an attempt will be male to
. recover the lei.' portion with the new hauling back
engine, though of the ultimate success of this ope-
. rati aheungineers do not express themselves very
confident. Having concluded these experiments,
the equadran will ;return to Plymouth Harbour,

will take on board the reina'ning 9J milts of • her
complement of rope, which will be tent round to
await lit r rcturn how Orem the experimental cruise.
Frein the the Vme that the ve•sels leave Plymeuth
witil they again sail on the laying expedition from
Plymouth . will be about ten days or a fortnight.
To teach the centre of the Atlantic will rob ibly
.take the expedition a week, and should the weather
.be fine,,tiaelve'elays more will be amply sufficient
to complete the whole op ration of laying. Thus, •
if the weather ehoul.l continue fin', they
may fairly ho expected at Valeutia ab tit the
25th of June, or from that to the beginning of
July. This division of the time, however, is ens
t-rely - contingent on fine weather prevailing
ughout the whole veysge, fir should a gale of
witabloiv just•about the time they were going to
make the splice, the ships would lay to, and wait
till it had passed over. When the end of the cab',
has been one:' sunk there will be no opportunity of
laying to. ShAild bad weathrroccur, it has Veen
contemplated, in such a case, to cut the cable, buoy
it up, and again resume operatiena wh-n ilia
weather moderates, and for this purpose co is of
string wire rope and large buoys hive been sup-
plied
to each vessel, though that the engineers
will ever resort to the use of them, even in cases
of t mergency, is very touch to be doubted. Tin
buoys are so constructed that they will hardly rite
and fall mote than a few feet with the swell,
so that should their use become necessary,, the

through where it is fastened to the ring. Mth the
Agamemnon and the Niagara have been stralgely
aPered in their trim aspect since they have lynti
poised into the telegraphic servic-. Their si a-
ciona 'twcen-decks have be:n s:rangdy cut argot,
and the ward-room and gun-roam consi•lerably cur-
titled of their fair proportions in order to ii id
adequate stowage room for the coils of the eab!o ;
their uppe.r spar decks are so c•owjed with ma-
chinery and the various apparatus to be use 4, dur-
ing the operation., that is is difficult to imagine
how the sailors will be able to move about to work
the sails when the expedition is at s a. They both
have so much dead-weight on board that they are
down almost level with the sea. The Niagara with
her coals, ciblo, provisions, and stores on hoard,
has little short of 3,000 tons of dead weight in her
held. Though she =s 5,000 tons American register,
the weight brings the water up above her cabin floor -
and to within seven or eight feet of the upper deck.
In fact, but for the groat height of her bulwarks
she would look ablest level with the water. • The
rumour is that she is far too heavy to be in a fit
coalition to ge to sea, but those who know how
immensely strong the ship really is, and how she is
stayed both ere arid aft with massive tie rods of
wrought iron, can well understand that it would
indeed be an extraordinary sea that could cause her
to strain or leak. The Agamemnon is also laden as
deeply as she can possibly be, yet her lower-deck
ports are several feet front the water-line ; indeed,
though the dc-id weight in her is not far short of
that in the Niagara, yet her trim is not so deep but
that she might safely go to sea in any weather.
The paying-out machinery, which was only corn-
, phAely fitoehed on Wednesday, was set in motion
for several • hours, to see whether everything

result of the t ial ; and there is every reason
to think, if the weather continues line, that the
present attempt will be crowned with success.
Everything, however, depends on the weather, and
when ths is the case we know how uncertain the
re ults are. The Atlantic is proverbially a stormy
sr a, and, though its surface is comparatively un-
durino• the Suminer mouths, yet there is a
certain liability-to a gale at any period of the year. ,
Lieut. Maury, who has published the most awn-,
rate and complete account of the winds and cur-
rents of the Atlatite, has been applied to by the
company to ascertain the peried of the year most
faVourable for conducting the laying operations.
In reply, Lieut. Maury 'sent to the company a num-
ber of charts and tables showing the average
amount of bad weather every latitude of the
North Atlantic, and in each mouth of the year.
From this it appears th ,t in January, February,
and March almost continual storms prevail ; iu
April and May they are less frequent; but

any unforeseen ace deet occur that would. delay'
the operation for a month or so there would yet
be time to recommence I efore the close of the sea-
son. The Porcupine will accompany the Niagara
throughout the whole of her route, and as she ap-
proaches the shallow and dangerous coast of New-
foundland, she will steam about and take sound_
jogs, and keep a bright look-out for ice, of the
proxiiiiity-of which rate is to five timely no!ice to

greatest icienttfic enterprises'of modern times.

Last night there was some cavilling at the vote
of 170,0001. for harb3urs of refuge. Surely the
most stringent economist could not complain (1
such an item. Great Britain depends on her
" wooden walls" for security—on her mercantile
marine for prosperity ; and it is an imperative
duty to do everything we can to reduce the
dangers that besot our gallant seamen, and to
mitigate their toils within the narrowest limits.
We confess that we should have greatly preferred
seeing the amount of the vote largely increased.
There is a time-honoured apophthegm which de-
clares that "it is better to pay the butcher than
the doctor," and one in a similar spirit, that
" prevention is better than cure." Well, it is
better to expend the money in works that will
give employment to energetic and active
men, than to have its value sunk in
the devolving ocean, with the addition of
the lives of those dear to their families, and
deserving of a better fate. Millions would be
recklessly sunk in a foreign war, originating in a
ridiculous point of etiquette or some absurd piec
of punctilio, but that which would be for the
general benefit of humanity, at all events of all
maritime nations, is cavilled at and objected to.
It is not because the national defences may also
be strengthened by these havens of safety that
they should be condemned. On the contrary,
they should be supported for serving a double
purpose, being alike useful in peace or in war,
aff)rding succour to all in distress, and casting
dismay on every opponent. It has long been a
reproach to Brit in that she has neglected the con-
struction of such ports—that her shores have been
literally "iron-bound," with some rare exceptions.
Tt is time that this anomaly should be corrected,
and that at short distances, sufficiently near for
vessels in distress, there should be created a
" statio bene fidce car inis" t hat would mate-
rially reduce the cost of assurance, and the hazard
of life, to seafaring men.

History, it has often been remarked, is but a
series of perpetual repetitions. The truth of this
is being illustrated at the present moment in many
directions. There is the old warlike disturbance
revived again at Montenegro—attracting the
British Mediterranean Fleet, under Gird LYONS,
into the Adriatic, and drawing a Turktsh army
once more towards the frontiers of Herzegovina.
There was renewed but yesterday further north-
wards the old quarrel upon the shores of the 13.t1 Lie,
between Germany and Denmark—in the matter
of the Schleswig-holstein Principalities. There
are runtoura again rife to day of Gulist conspi-
racies in Spain, of Marianne plots in France,
of Carbonari intrigues generally throughout the
Neapolitan dominions. Mormonism is again
rampant in Utah, and upon the seaboard of the
United States there are flying rumours of fil!..
blustering expeditions. There are intimation,
from the Euxine that the Russians are again
building up more strongly than ever their old
maritime stronghold of Sebastopol. There are
telegrams from Trieste that the war of nearly
twenty years ago is to be repeated under the
walls of Pekin harbour whatever forces may
happen to be concentrated there respectively by
the British and the Chinese Governments.
In every instance it is the old story over again,
with what has bee❑ designated, in utter disgust,
most damnable iteration. Diplomacy need pique
itself no longer upon its success, when the evil.;
patched up for a while break forth thus afresh in
every instance after the lapse of an uncertain in-
terval. The record, in fact, of all international

intercourse consists everywhere, in every age,
under every imaginable conjecture of circumstances
