The death of a very staunch Reformer, Sir J. H.
SEALE, Bart., has rendered vacant the representation
in Parliament of the little borough of Dartmouth.
Dartmouth has but a small constituency, but its Par-
liamentary franchise dates back from a most respect-
able antiquity—the 26th of EDWARD I. It assumes,
however, a character of much higher interest with the
public than any derived from mere prescription of
this sort, by reason of its having been the scene of
I various spirited attempts on the part of the SEALE
family to break up the nomination and rotten-borough
machinery by which the Government of the day, or
the Tory family of the HOLDSWORTHS, have, at
successive elections, returned their pocket•man. After
narrowly escaping the doom of disfranchisement under
the disqualifying retreat of Schedule A, it took rank
under the Reform Bill, as a Parliamentary borough
returning one Member. Sir J. H. SEALE reaped the
fruit of his bold, and—till then—unsuccessful at-
tempts to disenthral its electoral franchise, by being,
in 1832, returned by the electors without opposition,
to a Reformed House of Commons. The gallant
Baronet has continued to sit for it through four suc-
cessive Parliaments, until his decease, which took
place a few days ago. Before his mortal remains
could be committed to the tomb (his interment having
taken place only this day), the Tory interest at
Dartmouth were busily engaged in looking out and
bringing forward a successor, in the person of Mr,
JOSEPH SOAVES, the eminent shipowner. This
gentleman, we perceive, comes out on the " Con-
servative interest," a location somewhat odd
for the Governor of the New Zealand Company,

much reason to deplore the fatal massacre of Wairau,
and the imbecility and disorganisation of their local
authorities, as our Contemporary has shown, that the
Company's shareholders, contracting emigrants, and
others have had to denounce the bad faith and hollow
promises of the Directors, what shall we say to the
Governor of this Company proposing himself to the
freemen of Dartmouth for their representative in the
[louse of Commons, on " Conservative" principles?
Come, come, Mr. SoAmEs, transfer your " Conserva-
tive" solicitude—if you have any real feeling of the
kind—to the Company's house in Broad-street, for the
imnefit of those whose cry is for restitution ; or to the
lands at Nelson and elsewhere, where emigrants
complain that they have indeed been settled, but not
located ; or located but not protected. Leave to Dart-
mouth the Conservative care of maintaining its own elec-
toral freedom ; and to Mr. MOFFATT, the Liberal and
worthy candidate who steps forward to oppose you, the
honour of vindicating it. The choice of the freemen
could not be more wisely, advantageously, or even
equitably bestowed than on such a man as Mr.
MOFFATT, or on account of more substantial public
cervices than those he has already rendered, in his
capacity of an eminent London merchant, by his
zealous support to the system of reduced rates of
iostage; his consistent advocacy of the principles of
free trade ; and by the bold and liberal character of
his political opinions. We heartily commend him to
the support of the Dartmouth electors.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON.BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Mon.irg 18 minutes after 11 J Evening 47 minutes after 11

From the Plymouth Times, and from a London
Contemporary, we have recently transferred to our
columns two valuable articles, under the respective
`readings of the " Experimental Squadron" and
" Naval Intelligence." Their general effect we may
!efine to be—to show, first, that the results of the sail-
ing trials between her MAJESTY'S ships the Queen,
110 guns, and the Albion, 90, against the St. Via-
Sent, 120, and the Caledonia, 120, do not by any
means bear out the title to superiority assumed for
the two first-named ships ; secondly, that in relation
to the disparity of conditions, the most important to
the determination of the contest, the two last-named
ships, in point of fact, must be held to have approved
themselves much superior to their competitors. Now,
these experimental trials were instituted with the
avowed purpose of testing the merits of certain as-
sumed improvements in the theory of naval architec-
ture, which, having been introduced by the Sur-
veyor-General of the Navy (Sir W. SYMONDS), have
been since largely acted upon in the construction of
new ships of war. This, then, is a question of so
ouch national importance, that we hope the published
results in question will interest the public at large as
much as they have interested us. The repeated state-
f nents which have been made, from time to time, in
the House of Commons, by high professional authori-
ries, such as Admiral Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON,
Captain Roos, R.N., Captain PECIIELL, R.N., and
others, as to the extremely objectionable character of
some of the craft built on new principles most in
favour with the acting first Lord of the Admiralty
for the time being, have always occasioned great pain
to us. The " 10-gun brigs," and "jackass frigates,"
lenounced under the nicknames of the "Forty
Chieves," and other significant soubriquets, will at
once recur to the minds of most of our readers. But
the two articles we have lately transferred into The
Sun suggest more than they demonstrate. They
seem to infer the existence of a species of favouritism
at head-quarters, which, if it really exist, cannot be
too openly or loudly reprobated. These are not times
in which mere crotchets—however ingenious—are to
be carried out into practical working, not only to the
destruction of our character for the superior construc-
tion of large ships, but to the certain disparagement
and ultimate decay of our naval strength, and at a
most mischievous and needless expenditure of the
public money. Nor is this all. Two principles are
now contending for preference in our schools cr
naval architecture. The one is a well-considered ap

plication of scientific theory to those elements of

practical design, the soundness of which has been
affirmed by the test of facts observed and recorded
through the experience of a long term of years. The
other principle inculcates the adoption of a particular
theorem, irrespective of these modifications of received
systems and practical experience, as the sine qua non
of the new, or "intuitive" school, as it is called. But
what is this theorem ? " The form," we are told,
" adopted by the Surveyor of the Navy, viz., that of
a wedge, with a protrusion at the water surface,
which he calls 'bearing,' is most unfavourable to easy
motion, and it is ruinous in heavy weather. By the swel-
ling ofthe body above water, the rolling tends to immerse
a greater solid on one side than that raised up on the
other ; but since, by the law of hydrostatics, the
weight of the whole ship is that of the water which
she displaces, be the position what it may, therefore
the tendency to inequality in the opposite solids,
alternately emersed and immersed, as the ship rolls,
must necessarily produce a distressing rising and
falling during the rolling, which cannot but work
everything in pieces at last." This reasoning appears
to us indisputable ; but its truth is exemplified by the
instance of the Vernon, one of Sir W. SYMONDS'S
two
ships. After being but
years out at sea, that fine

is passed, and both parties—Whigs as well as Con-
servatives—will expect that Sir ROBERT PEEL
early in the ensuing session will lay down,
and make his stand upon, some broad,
distinct principle of policy which may at once put an
end to the vacillation, confusion, and perplexity,
which has so long characterised the discussions in the
House of Commons, With the Tories notoriously
weakened as they are by discords and jealousies—
with the Whigs well disposed to support any enlarged
liberal measure that he may bring forward, what is
to prevent Sir ROBERT PEEL from enunciating and
acting upon some bold, comprehensive, energetic prin-
ciple that may ensure, at no very distant period the full
and perfect triumph of the free-trade system? At present
men are almost wholly in the dark as respects the Pre-
mier. They know not what to make of him—how
far to support, how far to oppose him. As be values
his own reputation, let him lay aside this studied air
of reserve and mystery, which paralyses his friends
while it fails to throw his enemies off their guard.
He has the means at his command of conferring in-
estimable benefits on his country ; the stream of pub-
lic opinion still runs—though not strongly, as it did
four years ago—in his favour; and we do hope and
trust that when the proper season arrives, he will be
found playing the part of a bold, enlightened, patriotic
British Minister.

new frigate was found to require a thorough refit ;
and it was discovered that each end of her upper
deck beams had started from the ship's timbers, in
some instances to the extent of seven-eighths of an
inch. In action, or straining through a protracted
tempest, in a heavy sea, had she encountered either
trial before her refit, where would the Vernon have
been ? The naval critics, on whose authority we
make these statements, well remark, that for an
efficient man-of-war of the first class, like the
Queen, whose assumed superiority of sailing has
been the theme of so much admiration to the corre-
spondent of a Contemporary, fine sailing is not the
only, nor perhaps the most important property re-
quired. Other qualities are quite as indispensable;
for example—stowage; ease of motion ; capability of
keeping the sea in heavy weather; cost of building;
facility of steerage, &c. It is instructive to remark
how these properties are brought to bear on the ana-
lytical comparison of the force, equipment, and per-
formances of the ships engaged in the nautical trials
referred to. We see no reason to doubt that in such
respects the ships, not of the surveyor's build, were
very far superior to those of his construction, in-
equality of conditions being fairly allowed for. Thus
the Caledonia and St. Vincent steer easily; are
readily manageable ; mount 120 guns each, on a
measurement of only 2,600 tons. Their launching
cost, at the present moment, would not exceed
75,0001. each. The Queen, on the contrary, does
not steer well; she rolls very much, and in bad
weather her motion is particularly sharp and uneasy.
She mounts 110 guns only, on a measurement of
3,000 tons, and her launching cost would now be
about 90,000/. ; or 15,0001. more than that of either
the Caledonia or the St. Vincent. In heavy
weather and a rolling sea her inclination was only,
two degrees less than that of her competitors:
whereas, from her much superior width, a far more
important difference was to be anticipated. It is
evident, moreover, that on these trials no pains had
been spared to bring out to the utmost her sailing
powers, inasmuch as she carried away two topgallant
masts. It is, we are told, from the test of all ex-
perience yet had of her, to be inferred that as a line-
of-battle ship, though only four years old, she would
be much inferior to either the Caledonia (now 36
years) or the St. Vincent (which is 29). But we
will not weary the reader by going again through
the details of these irregularities, which, as to con-
dition and clearness, superior area of working sails,
superior amount of load displacement, and higher
tonnage, were vastly against the Caledonia or St.
Vincent, and proportionably in favour of the Queen
and the Albion. For the same reason, we do not
recur again to the very alarming defect of construe

tion in that immense ship the Albion, a two-decker 01

90 guns, heavy metal, which, it is affirmed, in heavy
seas would absolutely preclude the possibility of
working her lower deck tier, and compel
her to keep all her port-holes closed ; whereas,
under the same circumstances of winds and
seas, the Caledonia and the St. Vincent can keep all
their ports open, and work their guns on all three
decks. Our object in noticing these trials, and the
unfounded superiority claimed for the Surveyor's
ships, is to direct public attention to an evil which, if
unchecked, may one day bring upon us again all the
evils of that favouritism, presumption, and profes-
sional incapacity in the administration of affairs at the
Admiralty, which, in our last disastrous naval war
with the United States, reflected so much discredit on
the AIELvILLEs and CROKERS of the time. We have
better hopes, however, of the men at present filling
their places. They cannot but feel the inexpressible
amount of responsibility to themselves and to their
country, to the present generation, and to all pos-
terity, which they have assumed with their offices.

They are pledged to a stern, straightforward, impar-
tial management and direction of our most ancient,
most glorious, most constitutional, most vigorous
force. It is high time that the Board of Admiralty,
however, should eschew the example set them by
other Government departments in upholding old-
womanising errors of judgment, if they be not pre-
possessions of favour. We are beginning to get as
impatient of eternal SYMONDSES in naval construc-

Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have been re-

that Don BENITO ZURBANO, the son of ZURBAYO,
Don JUAN MARTINEZ, J. IRANDIA, and J. J. EGUI-

state that General ITURBIDE had been sent under a
military escort from Vittoria to Logrono to be tried
before a military Commission. The orders for his
arrest came from the Commission sitting at the latter
place, in consequence, probably, of some disclosures
made by some of the prisoners, though, it is said,
he lived a most retired life, and took nol
part in politics. In the midst of these scenes the
QUEEN gave a splendid banquet on the 27th, and on
the following day her mother's husband, MUNOZ,

Sovereign and the succession to the Crown, was

The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance, dated
Dec. 4, which orders material changes in the import
duties on the productions of various countries, more
especially India, brought to France in French ships,
and also in the premiums on home-made machinery
used in international navigation. We have given the
principal clauses of the decree in another part of the
piper, showing the nature and amount of the new
duties. The alterations with regard to machinery
are thus stated :—" The premium granted by the law
of the 6th of May, 1841, to steam-engines, of French
manufacture, employed on board French vessels
engaged in maritime international navigation, is to
be paid according to the basis and quota of the import
duties applicable to steam-engines of foreign manu-
facture imported in French vessels." The ordon-
nance is accompanied by a report from the
Minister of Commerce, from which the following,
is an extract :—" Our commerce and industry re-
quired some new modifications of the tariff of im-
port duties. The object of the greater part of these
reductions, is, by means of a reduction of duties, to
encourage French ships to import direct into France
from India and other countries beyond Europe, cer-
tain heavy articles intended to be manufactured in
this country, such as canes, bamboos, mother-of-pearl,
tin ore, imported from Hindustan. and the Sunda
Islands, nitrate of soda coming from South America,
and especially from Chili ; camphor..., medicinal fruits,
carthamum, balsam of copaiba,,and several other pro-
ductions of the island and continent of America, and
brass, which generally comes to us from the north of
Europe, but which a better-arranged tax would allow
us to comprise among onr exchanges with more dis-
tant countries. A diminution of the duty on
badiana, Barbary wood, colours, stones,. and chalk,
and iron ore imported into Corsica, will have the
effect of proportioning more justly the duty to the
actual value of the production, in order to permit the
employment of them in our manufactures." From
all accounts it was full time to male the change, for
at all the principal ports of France there has been a
decay of shipping and little derruand for freights.
The National states, that at Bordeaux, Nantes, Havre,
and. even Marseilles, so much benefited by the
trade with Algiers, there has been a con•
siderable diminution of entries, and the Mar-
seilles Chamber of Commerce, adverts to the
fact in these desponding terms :—" Maritime
speculations produce unprofitable returns. The un-
favourable position of the shipowners reacts on the
number of seamen, and the inferior classes withdraw
from a profession which produces no advantage.

These papers contain no additional intelligence from
Spain, but the National gives a frightful picture of the
state of the country. " There are no bounds," it says,
" to the violence of the reaction ; no more laws, no
guarantees, no personal security-. The humblest

citizen, who may have given umbrage, is at once
struck either in his person or his property. Pro-
se ►iption, which had been applied to generals and
of her officers of rank only, is now extended to men

of the most inferior consideration. Writers cannot

e:lcape this furor; their independence is shaken by
this band of malefactors, with whom power is no-
t' ling more than an instrument of vengeance and

destruction. universal terror reigns over the Pe-
ninsula."

A file of the newspaper established at Ota-
heite by the Governor, Captain BRUAT, extending
from the sth of May to the 6th of June, had been re-
ceived at Paris, and extracts from it were published in
several of the Opposition journals. The number of the
12th of May gives a long account of the proceedings
of Captain HUNT, of the Basilisk, during the inter-
views between the Chiefs and Queen POMARE, in the
presence of M. MALMANCHE, the agent of Captain
BRUAT, and all the details are said to be authentic.
Of this we have every doubt. The English mis-
sionaries are blamed for giving exaggerated state-
ments, but they fall far short ofM.;MALmAxcuE. The
first part of the descriptioA and the conclusion will
afford satisfactory proofs. He must indeed be a rough
sailor this Mr. HUNT, the commander of the Basilisk,
to treat a King and Queen with such rudeness.
M. MA.r.mAric HE thus describes the scene, and Captain
Hun T's manner:—

",His first act was to impose silence, in an angry tone,
upon the Chief, who had begun to converse with the
Queen. Do not talk,' said he, 'write, write ;' and ad-
vancing towards the ex-Queen, in a disrespectful manner,
he added, Is not that the case, Pornare ? ' Pomare
continued to hold down her head. Without doubt she
did not comprehend what Mr. Hunt said, for he spoke in
English, and she only knows her native language. As
he was in want of an interpreter, Mr. Hunt looked about,
and perceiving the husband of the Queen, who was stand-
ing aside, he took him by the collar, and said to him,
angrily, You understand English enough to tell these
chiefs that I will not allow them to speak to the Queen ;
they must write.' The Queen's husband executed this
order with a bad grace, and immediately afterwards re-
sumed his place."
The scene thus closes :

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. John Baker, a tradesman living in St. John's-
lane, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Sheppard, a re-
spectable married woman, living in Sumner-street,
Clerkenwell.

Mrs. Sheppard deposed that on Wednesday lust the
was passing through St. John's-square, when the prisoner
ran over, and, seizing her by the cloak, exclaimed, " I
will give you in charge." The lady exclaimed that she
had never seen him before, and asked why he should in-
terfere with her ? The prisoner said he was certain she
was the person who stole a sheet from him. She again
vehemently protested she knew nothing whatever about
him, but he threatened to give her in charge to a constable
unless she accompanied him to his house. Greatly
frightened, she complied, and when there the wife and
children of the prisoner declared she was not the person,
and she was set at liberty. Mrs. Sheppard declared she
had been ill ever since from the fright.
The prisoner in defence said a person whom he had
treated hospitably had stolen a sheet from him, and he
thought Mrs. Sheppard was the person.
The lady said that if Mr. Balker had apologised she
would not have taken any proceedings nainst him. If
he would now pay 10s. into the poor-box she would not
press the charge further.
Mr. Baker—No, I can't give more than ss.
Mr. CoNnE—Then you will pay a fine of 2/. and the
costs, or go to prison fora month.—The money was paid.

" Thereupon M. Malmanche quitted the Basilisk,
taking with him the pretended letter of Pomare, and
addressing the following words to Captain Hunt :
Since Pomare is a poor woman who is obliged to take
counsel from you, all the calamities which have hap-
pened, and all the blood that has been shed at Otaheite,
cannot be attributed to her, but only to Mr. Hunt, cap-
tain of the Basilisk.' Mr. Hunt wished to reply, but M.
Malmanche would not stay to hear him."

MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)
COVENT-GAVLDEN.
Owing to the prevailing cold weather, the supply of

to 4s 6d per cwt; Turnips, 2s 3d to 3s 3d; Carrots, 4s 6d
to 6e 6d; Coleworts or Greens, 2s 6d to 3s; and Leeks, 10d

the general inquiry was steady, at very full prices.

carcass. We had a very extensive supply of Foreign
Game and Poultry offering, and which was mostly dis-
posed of at miserably low figures. In articles of home
produce rather an improved business was doing, yet no
advance was noticed in the currencies.

The French Funds continued very firm on Thurs-
day ; the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 75c., and the
Fives at 120 f. 50c.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—FRIDAY.
There is again a good arrival of Wheat, the holders
are very firm, and demand a small advance upon the
finest qualities. Other sorts fully maintain last week's
prices, and a good extent of business has been passing
at this day's market. The finest samples of Barley nearly
support their value, hut inferior sorts must be noted
rather lower. Oats, Beans, and Shelling are in limited
request, at last week's rates.

THE NEW BASTARDY LAW.—(FROM A CORRE•
SPONDENT.)—As this law now stands, the mother of a
child is (before she can obtain proceedings against the
father), obliged to make demand of the weekly pay,
when a month's arrear is due. Now the man may (and
as he often does) live at such a distance from the woman
that it costs her more to go and make demand than the
arrear amounts to, for she can only go back as far as
thirteen weeks, if she has regularly kaown where to
find the man. This new bastardy law, taking it all in
all, is a very stupid piece of enactment ; it abounds with
absurdities.

HER LATE ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS
SOPHIA MATILDA OF GLOUCESTER.—The Lord Cham-
berlain, Earl Delawarr, in his official capacity, has di•
rected Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres to be
closed on Tuesday next, the day appointed for the funeral
of her late Royal Highness.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—The Chamber continued to-day
the debate on the budget of the finance department. The
several chapters of the budget were successively agreed
to, and the whole law passed unanimously by the sixty
Members present. To-morrow the budget of the depart-
ment of foreign affairs will be taken into consideration.
Sir Hamilton Seymour, her Britannic Nlajtisty's Am-
bassador, has returned, after having been for some
months absent on leave.

On Monday, the 16th, his Majesty will have com-
pleted his fifty-fourth year. Te Deem will be performed,
as usual, in the Church of St. Gudule.
ST. PETERSIIIIRGII, Nov. 23.—The Emperor has been
pleased to confer the Order of St. Waldimir of the first
class, on Dr. Clot Bey, in the service of the Pacha of
Egypt, on account of the assistance given by him to the
Russian Commissioners, who were sent to Egypt to
make experiments on the purification of infected articles,
by the application of a high degree of heat.
HANOVER, Nov. 30. The report published in
some journals, that his Majesty the King in-
tended to confer on the Prince of Sohns a new here-
ditary office, that of hereditary Master of the Horse,
which was to be created for him, is not only doubted but
declared to be unfounded by persons who from their
situation must be well informed. In fact, the creation of
a nuw hereditary office seems to be highly improbable in
the present state of things. We learn that the last diffi-
culties which have delayed the final conclusion of the
convention respecting the iron railway are now removed,
and that the definitive conclusion will probably soon
take place.
TURKISH FRONTIER, Nov. 18.—The Jews of Jeru-
salem have examined Dr. Philippson, Rabbi, at Magde-
burg, and Dr. J. A. Jost in Berlin, because the
collections made in Europe for the Jews in Jerusalem,
which are said to amount to million and a half dollars
annually, may be partly employed by those honourable
men in the proposed establishment of a hospital and a
school for the Jews at Jerusalem. The Jews of Jeru-
salem will not learn anything ; they have printed a pro-
clamation in which they say " We, the seed of Israel, the
holy people, have no share in foreign studies,: arts,
sciences, medicine and the like. If we were to spend our
time on those sciences what would become of religion?"

THE POOR OF WINDSOR.—Six hundred and twenty
poor families of Windsor will each receive, early in the
ensuing week, a sack of coals, as a portion of the dona-
tion of 2001. presented by the ;King of the French,
through the medium of the French Ambassador. The
remaining. 1001. have been appropriated in aid of the
funds of the Windsor and Eton Dispensary.
STRATEIFIELDSAYE.—On Tuesday last preparations
commenced for the approaching visit of her Majesty and
his Royal Llighness Prince Albert to the Duke of Wel.
. lington, the workmen being engaged the enlargement
of several rooms to increase the ordinary accommoda-
tion of the ducal mansion. The Duke's stables are to be
solely appropriated for the carriage and saddle-horses
belonging to the august visitors. A suit? of rooms to be
selected exclusively for the queen's use is to be fitted up
in a style of splendour every way becoming the rapt!
visit. It is said that all *OP altertttiODS are to be com-
pleted in a fortnight.. .Itio hear it is quite uncertain
whether the Queeti a visit will take place before or after
Christmas, no positive day being named at present,
