NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PoIITSSI:MTLI, TUESDAY.—We are inft.rmcd the Go-
vernment have sent out orders to Commodore Martin
to detach from his squsdrou the Indefatigable, 50,
Captain Smart, K. 11., to Cuba.
It is also rumoured that the squadron of Commodore
Martin will come to this rendezvous to revictual and re-
fit in July next.
The Fairy royal yacht, Master-Commander Welch,
under the esp( cial charge of Captain the Right Hon.
Lord Adolphus Fitzelarenee, G.C.11., embarked her
Majesty and the Court at o.borue this afternoon, at a
quarter-past 2, fur Gosport, en route to London. Her
Majesty was received with the usual demonstrations of
loyalty and respect, afloat and ashore, especially at
South.ea, where a vast multitude was a'sembled to wit-
ness the military spectacle of " Waterloo-day," and left
Gosport at about 3 o'clock in a special train, under the
charge of Mr. Cornelius Stovin, the general manager of
the South-Western Railway.
WATERLOO DAY.

This day, being the anniversary of the battle of We•
terloo, was celebrated in this garrison in a manner no
place in the kingdom, except the metropolis or Phcenix-
park, could surpass. In the morning the troops, to a
number close upon 3,000, took up position on the com-
mon at Southsea for review. About noon Lord Frede-
rick Fitzclarence presented the inhabitants, through the
Mayor and Corporation, with statues of Nelson and
Wellington, to ornament the esplanade adjoining Hol-
lingsworth-room, Southsta-beach, whereon they have
been placed. This ceremony was accompanied by a feli-
citous address from his Lordship, and a becoming re-
sponse from the trustees of his generosity. At the same
time the Corporation presented Lord Gough with an ad-
dress upon his visit to the town, which was cordially
received and courteously acknowledged by the veteran
General; aftrr which the troops formed brigade on the
common, for the presentation of new colours to the 28th
Foot by Lady Augusta Fitzclarence. The new colours
were consecrated in the usual manner by the Chaplain-
General to the Forces. After this ceremony the troops
were brigaded by Lord Gough, in the presence of many
thousands of spectators. At three o'clock the soldie s
were marched up to the water's edge, to tire a feu-de-joie
as the Queen approached on board the Royal yacht Fairy.
Atter the yacht had been skilfully steered through the
channel marked out for her, the troops returned to the
common, and were reviewed for the pleasure of the
million. They were afserwards indulged with rust c
sports, for prizes awarded from the hand and purse of
Lord Fitzclarence, which yielded indescribable amuse-
ment.At six o'clock the inhabitants gave his Lordship a
banquet, presided over by the Mayor, and Mr. Coun-
cillor George Sheppard, as vice-chairman. The affair was
a highly enthusiastic one, and will long live, we have no
doubt, in the memories of those who partook of it. A
display of fireworks on the common in the evening was
the concluding feature in the events of this " Waterloo-
day."

convey passengers and goods upon the line. The working

negotiations with the Eastern Counties Company and other
parties for working the line baying been unsuccessful, it is
believed, are the reasons fer cleeipg the line.

LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1850.

Yesterday it became our melancholy duty to an-
nounce the demise of Lours PLIILIPPE D'Oetem.s.
Our impression of this evening contains the fullest
particulars of that extraordinary and chequered ca-
reer which was then brought to a conclusion.
Scarcely any individual whose name is recorded in
history ever experienced more remarkable vicissitudes
than the exiled Prince who has just breathed h s
last at C!aremont. It is, consequently, some-
what difficult to epitomise, within any reasonable
limi s the numerous events constituting thf*
more promin"nt features of his biography. Aided,
nevertheless, by the chronological notes pencilled b 3
himself during his recent seclusion, the ta.t.k, though
still surrounded with obstructions, may prove not
altogether impracticable, especially when it is borne
in recollection that every circumstance in this asto-
ni,hing narrative is rendered conspicuous by occur-
ring in the midstfrof the glare of three successive
revolutions.

Perhaps no one ever possessed a name coloured by
more infamous and more splendid illustrations. Cer-
tainly no one similarly deriving his titles from
an illustrious dynasty ever had, like the subject
of our remark., the glory of such titles coun-
terpoised by the odium of so many criminal
and ghastly recollections. The offspring of a Royal
house, Louis PHILIPPE wis distinguished also as the
son of a regicide. At twenty years of age the most
heroic combatant in the battle of Jemappes, at
seventy-five he was a cowardly fugitive from the
palace of the Tuileries. Deceiving the people in 1793
by participating in the trt-a-onous desertion of Du-
sousizz, he deceived his SOVEREIGN in 1830 by
plotting against his authority at Neuilly. While yet
a stripling citizen ha became a member of
that Jacobin Club which was the incarna-
tion of the ultra-democratic principles; when
a veteran monarch, sworn to govern his country
according to the laws of the constitution, he became
disciple of those execrable dogmas which alone
actuate despotic governments. Being born at Paris
on the 6th of October, 1773, he was enabled to witness
the first outbreak of those political passions which
were destined through bloodshed and revolt to work
out the ultimate regeneration of the European con-
tinent. By expiring as late as the 26th of August,
1850, he was enabled to witness the realization of the
popular dream of liberty. Between those dates are
comprised all the agonies of the most sublime
struggle, humanly speaking, the world has yet wit-
nessed, the struggle of the human race to acquire that
sacred freedom, half-earthly, hall-celestial, which was
the offspring at once of Christianity and Civilizittion.

LAMBETH.

Edward Goden, of 27, Royal-street, Lambeth, a
dealer i❑ furniture, was charged with having violently
assaulted Sarah Goden, his own daughter, a lirtle crea-
ture not yet ten years of age, on the night of Saturday,
the 24th inst.

A Mr. R. Jones and several other neighbours proved
that the child had been most inhumanly beaten by her
father on the night in question, that it ran out into the
street in a state of perfect nudity, and that its little
body was all covered with weals and bruises inflicted on
it by the unfeeling father with a cane, which was then
produced in court. The poor child had been ben-rally
allowed to run about the streets with scarcely a stitch of
shoe or stocking on.
Mr. Goden, with the greatest sang-froid imaginable,
expatiated on his paternal right to act as he pleased in
his domestic affairs, and reprobated the idea of any per-
son interfering therein; he seemed strongly impressed
with the idea that he, like many other much greater
men, had a right to do what he liked with his own.
Mr. ELLIOTT, however, happening to differ with him
materially on the subject, said he 811011 Id tine him the
sum of 205., or send him to prison for fourteen days; h. e
also required him to enter into hii own recognizance ft r
20/. to keep the peace for six months.

GERMANY.

The Peace Congress held their first sitting, at
Frankfort, on the 22d, in the St. Paul's Church, in

The letters from Berlin of the 21st do not confirm
the statement of the Cologne Gazette, of the army of

having taken place on the 19th. According to ac-
counts from Altona of the 20th, there was no in-

A letter from Naples of the 14th inst. says, " You
have read the account of the Italian flogs which have
been hoisted in several places of Sicily, but you
are doubtless not aware that political demonstra-
tions have been made at Coz'nza, Potenzl, and
other places in Calabria. In the first of these towns
abaut fifty young men assembled, crying, ' Long
live the Constitution and the King !" Others sncn
joined them, and thus formed an imposing mass. The
troops then were ordered out, and made several
arrests, but the most singular part of the affair is, that
Nunziante, informed of the affair, ordered the pri-
soners to be set at liberty, saying that the cry of
" Long live the Constitution !" was not an offence.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

-f; =';
FIE LD, HUDDEW.FIELD, N 1) tit;OLE.
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at Wakefield yesterday. Mr. E. B. Beaumont,
the chairman of the board, presided. The line is leased
to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at five par
cent. in perpetuity, with half surplus profits. The re-
port stated that the total cost of the railway would
not exceed 3,253/. over the amount of thrt rent
guaranteed by the lessees. The liabilities hai been
reduced to 16,0001. The rent from the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company would be payable on the Ist of Sep-
tember, and the dividend warrants would be issued imme-
diately afterwards. Two directors had been nominated to
seats ut the Lancashire and Yorkshire board, who would
act without remuneration. The statement of accounts
gave the following results:—Total receipts up to the
30th of June, on the guaranteed stock, 256 0711. 16s. 33.,
which sum had all been expended except 3521. Bs. 2d.,
which remains in the banker's hand. The receipts on
the shares for the southern division of the line, which is
not guaranteed, amount to 69,787/. 7s. 7d., and dis-
bursements to 66,3521. 18s. Bd., the balance in hand being
3,4341. 9s. 4d.
The CHAIRMAN said he had great confidence that the
line would eventually yield more than 5 per cent.; and
after alluding to the various matters in the report, he
moved its adoption, which was carried.
The dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent., was also
agreed to, and after some discussion the meeting sepa-

FOREST AND WATKINS.

The scullers match for 351. aside between these men,
which has created considerable interest at Greenwich,
to which place both men belong, and various quarters
below bridge, was contested yesterday, the distance
being from Patney-bridge to Mortlake. A steamer had
been engaged for the occasion to accompany the race,
which was literally crowded with company, and there
were a vast number of small
.boats out owing to the in-
terest excited. Watkins was freely backed at slight
odds, and a good round sum depended upon the result.
Preliminaries being settled, the men went to work. At
the first Watkins had a trifle the beat of the start, but it
was only momentary, Forest drawing away from him
immediately afterwards, and getting his boat clear off
the Messrs. Searle's. Watkins rowed gallantly and well,
but Forest continued to gain, and ultimately won by
seven or eight lengths.

RICHMOND ROYAL REGATTA.
The above regatta, in honour of Prince Albert's natal
day, also came oti yesterday, and was, as usual, most
excellently conducted and contested. The race was with

ISCOVERIC OF A ROMAN VILLA AT HADSTOCE.—
The Hon. Mr. Neville's exertions in pursuit of the Roman
remains have in some degree been repaid during the last
few days. The excavators in the employ and under the
personal direction of the Hon. Gentleman have brought
to view the remains of a singularly-formed villa. The site
on which the discovery was made is in a field known .as
" Suakin Church Field," in the above parish. The disco-
very proves that a building of considerable importance once
occupied the
place, thus affording to the antiquary, &c., an
opportunity to view what is seldom met with, as the fowl--
dations, hypocaust, &c , are of that rare character that
cannot fail to gratify. •

LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1850.

Yesterday it became our melancholy duty to an-
nounce the demise of Louis PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS.
Our impression of this evening contains the fullest
particulars of that extraordinary and chequered ca-
reer which was then brought to a conclusion.
Scarcely any individual whose name is recorded in
liistory ever experienced more remarkable vicissitudes
than the exiled Prince who has just breathed h's
last at Claremont. It is, consequently, some-
what difficult to epitomise, within any reasonable
limits the numerous events constituting the
more prominent features of his biography. Aided,
nevertheless, by the chronological notes pencilled by
himself during his recent seclusion, the task, though
still surrounded with obstructions, may prove not
altogether impracticable, especially when it is borne
in recollection that every circumstance in this asto-
nishing narrative is rendered conspicuous by occur-
ring in the midst of the glare of three successive
revolutions.

Perhaps no one ever possessed a name coloured by
more infamous and more splendid illustrations. Cer-
tainly no one similarly deriving his titles from
an illustrious dynasty ever had, like the subject
of our remarks, the glory of such titles coun-
terpoised by the odium of so many criminal
and ghastly recollections. The offspring of a Royal
house, Louis PHILIPPE was distinguished also as the
son of a regicide. At twenty years of age the most
heroic combatant in the battle of Jemappes, at
seventy-five he was a cowardly fugitive from the
palace of the Tuileries. Deceiving the people in 1793
by participating in the trea,onous desertion of DU'
MOURIEZ, he deceived his SOVEREIGN in 1830 by
plotting against his authority at Neuilly. While yet
a stripling citizen he became a member of
that Jacobin Club which was the incarna-
tion of the ultra-democratic principles; when
a veteran monarch, sworn to govern his country
according to the laws of the constitution, be became
a disciple of those execrab!e dogmas which alone
actuate despotic governments. Being born at Paris
on the 6th of October, 1773, he was enabled to witness
the .first outbreak of those political passions which
were destined through bloodshed and revolt to work
out the ultimate regeneration of the European con-

tinant. By expiring as late as the 26th of August,

1850, he was enabled to witness the realization of the
popular dream of liberty. Between those dates are
Comprised all the agonies of the most sublime
,struggle, humanly speaking, the world has yet wit-
nessed, the struggle of the human race to acquire that
awed freedom, half-earthly, half-celestial, which was ,
offspring at once of Christianity and Civilisation.

ITALY.

The Italian journ ils state that neither the amnesty,
nor an extensive commutation of sentences on poli-
tical prisoners, which had been expected in the
Lordhardo-Venetian provinces on the occasion of the
birtiiday of the Emperor of Austria had taken place.
The Bisorginitnto of Turin, of the 20th, states that
the parish
priest of Bonneville, when about to cele-
brate a funeral service for M. de Santa Rosa, an-
nounced that he did so only because the Minister
when on his death-bed solemnly retracted what he
had done against the Church. The announcement
caused such dissatisfaction that the National Guard
and the Municipal Council declined to attend the
service.

Letters from Leghorn and Sienna of the 16th state
that, in order to prevent any disturbance, extraordi-
nary precautions had been taken by the authorities,
who had ordered about 100 individuals of the former
place to present themselves three times a day to the
police.
The Osservotore Romano of the 14th, a semi-official
organ of the Papal Government, records the arrest of
the Archbishop of Turin and the removal of the Ser-
rites, without any comment.

Brigadier Hearsey, C. 8., has received from Sir
Richard Jenkins a cadetship for his son. Many years have
elapsed since the battle of Seetabuldee, but time has not'ob-
nerated Sir Richard's recollection of the gallantry of Lieut.
Hearsay on that memorable and eventful occasion of Sir
Richard's redolence at Nangpoor.

GERMANY.

The Peace Congress held their first sitting, at
Frankfort, on the 22d, in the St. Paul's Church, in
which, two years since, the German PArlimment held
their sittings.
The Gazette de Cologne of the 26th says—
" According to our advices, the Prussian Minister
for Foreign Affairs has energetically rejected a plop( -
sition contained in a note addressed to him by Lad
Palmerston, that he should urge the Schleswig-Hulstein
army to lay down their arms.'

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The letters from Berlin of the 21st do not confirm
the statement of the Cologne Gazette, of the army of
Schleswig-Holstein having made a movement in ad-
vance from Rendsburg, and of a slight engagement
having taken place on the 19th. According to ac-
counts from Altona of the 20th, there was no in-
teresting intelligence from the theatre of the war.
The 'Austria of Vienna states that the Austrian Go-
vernment insists on the abolition of the Sound dues
by Denmark, in order to promote the success of the
German Commercial Confederation, which it desires
to establish.
Intelligence has been received from the seat of war
up to the 24th inst. At that date the position of the
hostile armies continued unchanged._

The following is from the official part of the Ga-

THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.

COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS.
The preliminary operations for its realisation are
going briskly
.forward. The whole space, and, of
course, something more than the exact space to be
covered by the building for the Exposition, is fenced
in by a substantial paling, within which, masses of
timber are being deposited, and the necessary sheds
and temporary workshops are being rapidly run up.
The space which the fence circumscribes is about
112 yards in breadth, and 740 yards in length ; but
of course the actual limits of the building

quite so great. The paling
mence opposite the Royal HumanemaSociety's receiving-
house, and to end close by the bridge across the Ser-
pentine.ln the enclosed space are two rows of trees—
one a scattered clump of fine old elms, the other a
line of smaller and younger trees. Matters will be
so arranged that none of these ornaments of the park
need fall. The few trees the destruction of which
was inevitable have already disappeared. The
ground to be covered by Mr. Paxton's palace of iron
and glass lies contiguous to only one of the entrances,
and that a minor one, to the park. This is the
Prince's-gate, opening from the Kensington•road,
not very far from the turnpike. From this gatea foot-
path leads diagonally across towards the bridge over
the Serpentine, and this little-frequented path is the
only thoroughfare which will be shut up by the
" profanation" in question. The carriage entrance
at this point will not.even be obstructed, for a second
entrance has bgen.inade from the public way, exactly
opposite the main gate of the enclosure. Through
this, all heavy loads of materials, and ce forth, will to

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

- -- -
RETIREMENT OF THE SENIOR CAPTAINS.—The
following captains on the active list, being 55 years of
age, and of 20 years' standing on the list, have ac-
cepted the ,retirement of 1846, on 18s. per diem :
Philip Parker King (seniority), Feb., 1839 ; Courte-
nay
.F W. Boyle, May, 1830; Rowland Mainwar-
ing, July. 1830; John Wyatt Watling, July, 1830 ;
Richard Pridham, July, 1830 ; John Lyons, July,
1830 ; Philip Westphal, July, 1830 ; Edward Spar-
shot, July 1830; William Blight, July, 1830. These ,
retirements bring Captains (of 1837) R. Gordon, .
Brasier, R. C. M'Crea, M. Quin, R. Owen, .B.
Maxwell, J. R. Carnac, Sir T. Maitland, C. 8., and
Thomas Dilke, with the first 170 senior captains, and
reducing the number on the active list to 497, the
promotions of three commanders to the rank of cap-
tain will be necessary to make the list of captains the
established number of 500. We trust these promo-
tions will at once be made to complete the list, and
that deserving officers may obtain that which they
have so long earned.
PRESERVED PROVISIONS IN THE NAVY.—We copy
the following from the United Service Gazette, but
we may add to it that by the new regulations to come
into force on the Ist of January the Admiralty have
remedied their complaint of short weight by directing
that all deficiencies shall he made up from the stores,
and it is to be hoped the contractors will have to
bear the loss :—" One of the greatest sources of dis-
content among the seamen of the Royal Navy at
present, is the shameful manner in which they are
cheated out of their weight of provisions when they
have served out to them preserved meats.' It happens
very frequently that instead of the men getting 141 b.,
to which weight they are entitled by the regulation
scale of allowance, they only get 101 b., and that of an
inferior character. It is not the fault of the officers
nor the men, but of the Admiralty Victualling De-
partment, Somerset House. We look to the Admiralty
to render an appeal to the House unnecessary in this
matter."

Cambrian, 40, Commander Plumridge, was mus-
tered, inspected, and exercised at Devonport on
Thursday morning by Admiral Sir William Gage,
after which she was towed into harbour by the Con-
Aiwa steam-tug, to be paid off.
