LeNDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, .1844

The experimental war brigs at Portsmouth are pro-
ceeding rapidly, we are told, with their manning.
The Water Witch has already completed her com-
plement ; another is in the same condition ; a third
h:s entered, in a few hours, half the number of hands
she requires. This looks well ;—nay, it is a very im-
portant, as well as encouraging fact,—so far as it goes.
But it is only a small portion of the vast machine
which it is indispensable to have immediately in com-
plete working order, throughout all its ramifications
--it is but a fraction of the combined powers that
every passing day makes it of more essential conse-
quence to have ready for development at a moment's
notice. A dozen gun-brigs, as a nucleus for such a
renovated force as our scandalously dismantled navy
would want in the event of an European war, are of
little more present efficiency, in relation to the object
to be accomplished, than a dozen buckets of water
would count to as a supply towards the extinction of
a conflagration in Portsmouth Dock- yard. The only
comfort is, that we have the proof, in either case, that
the supply is at hand—c:vailable—r:Ti reqrlily afforded,
.hen properly demanded. But why will not tile
Admiralty go more boldly and largely to work ?
Instead of these gun-brigs, why did not they

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, 1844.
Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of justice to inform
you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your
admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found
my hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much
discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it
continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and
hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have fer
some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that
my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved
in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and
glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have
warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an eacellent
restorative and preservative
.rbr the hair. As I have an
objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not
publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or
make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants
to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma-
casSar Oil.—Your obedient servant,

DEATH OF CAPT. BASIL HALL.--We regret that we
have to announce the death of this gallant officer, which
took place on Wednesday last at Ilaslar Hospital, after
a protracted illness, in the fifty-sixth year of his age.
Capt. Basil Hall was not only distinguished in the ser-
vice as an able, enterprising, and meritorious officer, who-
had the entire good of his profession at heart, and who
lost no opportunity of forwarding its improvement iu
every way that his inquiring and discerning mind en-
abled hint to do, but he was also known in the world of
literature, of which he formed a distinguished ornament.
In his early life, in the command of a small vessel, in an
unknown sea, he rendered conspicuously interesting a
dreary voyage to the north part of China, and the coast-


of Corea, by the publication of a lively, intelligent, and
scientific account of a new people inhabiting the Loo
Choo Islands. Since then his industrious and active
habits have never allowed him to visit a scene without
recording its novelties, peculiarities, and politics ; and
we have thus before the world his opinion and descrip-
tion of both South and North America. His various
nautical talcs, told under the name of fragments, of
which several series have been published, prove the play-
fulness of his mind, and the extent of his observation.
We have to record the death of another naval officer,
retired Commander Joseph Renard, who died at Ports-
mouth on Saturday. This gallant officer has been in
service nearly seventy years. He was midshipman in
the Berwick in the action with the French and Dutch
fleets in 1778 and 1781 ; was mate of the 13arfleur in
Lord Howe's action ; was Lieutenant of the Veteran, at
Camperdown, with Lord Duncan ; was Senior Lieute-
nant of the same ship at Copenhagen ; was in the .Leda,
in the numerous actions with the Boulogne flotilla, in
1804, and at the capture of the Cape.

AMERICAN ICE.LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RINELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel•keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is In solid blocks, weighlr, from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste; and is used fora variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—

The REFRIGERATOR, er (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming Into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected hem the heat of the weather during the
summer season.
The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.
They may be seen In operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

the evening of the sth, and will remain there for ten
days, during which time files, reviews, and regattas on
a splendid scale, will do honour to the occasion. The
Archdukes Joust and FREDERICK, the Grand Duke
of TUSCANY', and the Duke of Monesta have arrived
at Trieste, on a visit to the EMPEROR, as also the
Prince of METTERNICH, Prince KOLLOWRATEI, the
English Ambassador, &c.
The Levant packet-boat, which left Athens on the
26th, has arrived at Trieste. it brings accounts that
the. new Minister of War, TZAYELLAS, had sent a
dispatch to General GRIVAS, who is at Alexand.
inviting him to return and take his seat in the
Chamber of Deputies, promising him at the same
time a brilliant reception. Sir EDWARD Lvozis had
sent to Malta for a ship of war. The steam-frigate
Devastation had already arrived at Athens, from
Constantinople, and there were five vessels of war,
different sizes at Piraeus.

The Nuremburg Correspondent gives the following
from Presburg, Sept. 5 :—" The late scenes in the
Chamber of the Magnates of Hungary are responded
to in the country. The rupture between the two
Chambers has never been so marked—they almost
came to blows in the place of sitting. A Palatine,
who has now presided over the Assembly for forty-nine
years, has declared that he never witnessed so violent
a parliamentary storm. The Second Chamber does
not allow itself to be intimidated by the resistance of
the majority of the Magnates, but insists on the pro-
posed reforms. It has just decided that the rights of
landed property should be extended to the classes
which are not noble, but this resolution will certainly
not be approved of by the Magnates. In several dis-
tricts meetings have been held to petition the Go-
vernment not to close the session at once. In a
meeting at Pesth very violent language was used,
and it was agreed to send in a protest against the
conduct of the Upper Chamber. This example will,
it is thought, find imitators."
The French papers all contain observations on the
course pursued by Mr. O'CONNELL since his libera-
tion, which the greater number of them praise as dis-
tinguished for its wisdom and its prudence.

"U•ND DN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1844.

The Irish Orangemen are just beg inning to re-
cover from the panic occasioned by the unexpected
liberation of O'CoN.NELL and his fellow•traver-
sers. So long as the Richmond Penitentiary held
their men in its stringent embrace, all was just
as it should be in the opinion of their bigoted adeer-
aeries ; but now that the decision of the law Lords
has released them from their captivity, aWairs are
assuming a blacker aspect than ever, and the
severest measures must be resorted to by Govern-
ment. Such is the advice given to Ministers by the
Dublin Evening Mail—the accredited organ of the
Orange party in Ireland; which having got over the
first shock of the decision of the House of Lords, has
rallied all its energies, and is now more furious in
its demands that the harshest steps be immediately
taken by the Executive to put down the reviving
Repeal agitation. This is our Contemporary's own
language on this ticklish matter :—" The agitation is
revived. It resumes its mensces. It is busy with
its organisation. 'What then remains, but to arrest
the progress of sedition by all the means, ordinary
and extraordinary, with which the Constitution, provi-
dent of all extremities, arms .the Executive ? If the
present means be not co-extensive with the exigency,
and that Parliament must sanction whatever more
may be requisite, there must be, in time to meet the
evil, a meeting of Parliament. . Meanwhile, prompt
measures must be taken to curb the conspiracy, and
break down the force of its Organisation. The seat
and nucleus of the sedition must be razed, and its
elements scattered and dispersed. The Repeal As-
band
sociation must be extinguished by the
strong
of the law —or if the law, weakened
by the late reverse be inadequate to the task—then
by the strong hand of authority. The Association
must be proclaimed down,-scattered—suppressed !''
Siltql 'are the
which a well wort opinions of the Dublin Evening Mail
re hy of attention, inasmuch as they
iaay fairly be presumed to be the opinions also of the
Irish Orangemen. But how is it po.;sible that Go-
vernment can act as our indiguant Dublin Contempo-
rary advises ? now can they pat down the Repeal
agitation ? How prevent tlie question exercising a
magic influnce over the minds of the Irish—more
especially those of the lower class ? Suppose the
Repeal Assoiciation suppressed ; the Conciliation
Hall shut up, and a strong body of policemen
stationed at the portals. What then ? Is there

lane efficient step taken towards the pacification
of' the sister-country ? Is the idea of a Parliament
in Colleg►e-green blotted out from the minds of the

agitators, and thole who think and feel with them ?
Not a bit of it. The very opposition it encounters,
will have no other effect than to fix the idea still
deeper than ever in the hearts of the MAI, and to
make that a faith—a living principle, which before
Was merely an opinion, say, rather, a crotchet.
Masses of men may be subdued—physical force may
he borne down by physical force ; but who shall
flibtlue a Thought—annihilate a Feeling—strike

DEATH OF CAPT. BASIL lIALL.—We regret that we
have to announce the death of this gallant officer, which
took place on Wednesday last at Ilaslar Hospital, after
a protracted illness, in the fifty-sixth year of his age.
Capt. Basil Hall was not only distinguished in the ser-
vice as an able, enterprising, and meritorious officer, who
had the entire good of his profession at heart, and who
lost no opportunity of forwarding its improvement in
every way that his inquiring and discerning mind en-
abled him to do, but he wasnlso known in the world of
literature, of which he formed a distinguished ornament.
In his early life, in the command of a small vessel, in an
unknown sea, he rendered conspicuously interesting a
dreary voyage to the north part of China, and the coast

of Corea, by the publication of a lively, intelligent, and
scientific account of a new Feople inhabiting the Loo
Choo Islands. Since then his industrious and active
habits have never allowed him to visit a scene without
recording its novelties, peculiarities, and politics ; and
we have thus before the world his opinion and descrip-
tion of both South and North America. His carious
nautical tales, told under the name of fragments, of
which several series have been published, prove the play-
fulness of his mind, and the extent of li!s observation.
We have to record the death of another naval officer,
retired Commander Joseph Heßard, who died at Ports-
mouth on Saturday. This gallant officer has been in
service nearly seventy years. He was midshipman in
the Berwick in the action with the French and Dutch
fleets in 1778 and 1781 ; was mate of the Barfleur in
Lord Howe's action ; was Lieutenant of the Veteran, at
Camperdown, with Lord Duncan ; was Senior Lieute-
nant of the same ship at Copenhagen ; was in the Leda,
in the numerous actions with the Boulogne flotilla, in
1804, and at the capture of the Cape.

LAMBETH-STREET.

William Kingaby, a messenger at the Sailors'
Home, Well-street, Wellclose-square, was charged
before the Hon. G. C. Norton, with embezzling va-
rious sums, amounting in the aggregate to upwards
of 801., the moneys of Captain Elliott and other Direc-
tors belonging to that Institution.
From the evidence it appeared that the captains
and owners of vessels are in the habit, on their arrival
in the port of London, of sending their apprentices to
the Sailors' Home, paying for them a certain sum
weekly. Bills had been given from time to time to
the prisoner to collect the amount due for these ap-
prentices, and, though he had received the money for
them, he had never made a return of it.
After a brief examination, the prisoner was re-
manded to a future day.
John Mitchell, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was
charged with committing a murderous assault upon
Mary Anne Murray, an unfortunate female with
whom he cohabited.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant,
whose life had been for some time in considerable
danger, that on Wednesday week he, without the
slightest cause, attacked the unfortunate woman,
struck her with his clenched fist, kicked her all over
manner,the body,
untilan d jumped upon her in the most savtge
he reduced her to a state of insensibility,
and the very point of death.
Mr. Brown, a surgeon, in East Smithfield, described
the nature of the injuries inflicted.
Mr. NORTON remarked that during the whole of
his magisterial experience he did not recollect a more
dastardly or savage case being brought before him,
and committed the prisoner to Newgate, to take his
trial on the charge of wounding.
