NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL D. P. BOUVERIE.—We
have to record the death of Vice-Admiral of the Red
the Hon. Duncan Pleydell Bouverie, which took place
at Clifton Hall, Wilts, from an attack of apoplexy, in
the 71st year of his age. He was the second son of the
late Earl of Radnor, by the Hon. Anne Duncombe, is
brother of the present Earl of Radnor, and uncle of
Captain W. P. Bouverie, R.N. He entered in April,
1795, and remained on full pay for 28 years. He was a
deputy-lieutenant for Wiltshire, and was several times
returned to Parliament for different places in that county.
He married Dec. 27, 1807, Louisa, second daughter of
the late Joseph Hay, Esq., by whom he had an only
daughter, married to Captain the Hon. S. Hay, brother
of the Earl of Errol. From O'Byrne's Naval Biography

the Nassau, 64, in April. 1795; was "made a lieutenant,
February, 1799; commander, February, 1801; and
captain, April, 1802, in the Brave, 40. Subsequently,
as a captain, he was appointed, April 1, 1803, to
the Mercury, 28, employed first as a floating battery
off Guernsey, next in convoying the outward-
bound trade to the Mediterranean, and (after
capturing, February 4, 1835, a Spanish national
vessel, El Puerto de Gibraltar, of 4 guns and 59 men) in
cruising in the West Indies, August 10. 1805, to
L'Aiwable, 32, and Feb. 20, 1806, to the Medusa, 32.
During the more than seven years of his continuance in
the latter frigate, Captain Bouverie participated in all
the operations in the Rio de la Plata, from October,
1806, until his return to England with Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Whitelocke, in September, 1807, including the
capture of Maldonado and the Island of Goritti. He
also took, April 4, 1808, L'Actif, French privateer, of 14
guns; united with Capt. Manbv, of the Thalia, 36, in a sup-
posed pursuit of two French frigates to the coast of Labra-
dor, whence he returned after experiencing for three
months the greatest privations; captured January 6 and
14, 1810. the privateers L'Aventure of 14 guns and 82
men, and L'Hirondelle, of 14 guns and 75 men; and, in
the summer of 1812, was repeatedly noticed in the dis-
patches of Sir George Collier for his efficacious support
of the patriotic cause on the north coast of Spain, where
he particularly contributed to the reduction of Le-
queytio and Guetaria. He afterwards commanded, from
May 15, 1828, until 1831, the Windsor Castle, 76, on
the Mediterranean station; was appointed colonel of
marines, July 22, 1830; attained the rank of rear-ad-
miral, January 10, 1837; was lastly employed, from
July 26, 1837, until the same mouth in 1812, as admiral

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening Mr. Macready played, for the last
time but one, his celebrated character of Werner.
We shall not now enter into a criticism upon a per-
formance the lofty merits of which are universally
known and admitted. It is one of our eminent tra-
gedian's greatest efforts, and should be seen by all
who reverence histrionic genius in its highest and
most instructive manifestations. We never saw him
act better than on this occasion. All the masterly
touches of nature with which his delineation of the
character abounds, and the whole of the magnificent
last scene, his conception of which is perfectly
sublime, were given with as great effect as ever, and
elicited most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Davenport
made another considerable advance in public favour
by his admirable version of the difficult and important
part of Ulric. Mrs. Warner was highly effective as
Josephine, and Miss Reynolds made a very pretty and
interesting Ida. The house was crowded.

OCTOBER CIRCULAR, 1850.
We would remind the public that all TEA, bad or good, the
be-t or the most worthless, pays an uniform duty of 2s. 21A d. per lb.,
and is necessarily subject to equal charges for freight, porterage,
wharfage, dock dues, &c., consequently the ' commonest is much
heavier taxed, in proportion to its real or marketable value, than
either the medium or the finest class Teas. Thus, common Congou
costs in Canton only 70. to Bd. per lb., but before it reaches the
English consumer It pays in duty and charges no less than 400 per
cent. ; the medium class Tea, which costs 12d. to 15d. per lb., aver-
ages in duty and charges not more than 200 per cent. ; whilst the
finest class Teas, which cost in China four times the price of the
commoner, pay no more than 100 per cent. It must be apparent
tha', with a fixed charge of 2s. 6d. per lb. upon all Tea, mere price
alone is no criterion of either good value or cheapness ; and we cope-
cielly direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economise
their expenditure that they voluntarily tax themselves double or
quadruple what they have any necessity for doing by purchasing
inferior Teas.

THE NEW CUSTOMS ACT.

By the 26th section of the Customs Act of the past
session of Parliament (13th and 14th Virtoria, cap.
95) it is enacted that no entry shall from and
after the passing of the Act be received for or
in respect of any timber or wood goods depo-
sited in any warehouse, yard, or other bonded pre-
mises for security of duties for any less quantity
at any one time than five loads of such timber or wood
goods, unless such wood goods shall be delivered by
tale, in which case such entry may be passed for
any quantity thereof, not less than 240 pieces, or
two great hundreds of such wood goods; and that no
less quantity of such timber or wood goods shall be
deliverea in virtue of any such entry at any one time
than five loads of such timber or wood goods, or 240
pieces of such wood good., if delivered by tale. The
Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury
having received applications praying that the pro-
visions of this Act, which limits the taking out of
wood from bond to quantities not less than five loads
of 240 deals, may not be enforced as respects wood so
taken out for the purpose of exportation, their Lord-
ships have caused one of their secretaries to acquaint
the Commissioners of Customs that their Lordships
concur in their suggestion as to the relaxation of this
law relating to the taking of wood from bonded pre-
mises, and desire them to give the necessary direc-
tions accordingly. In pursuance of this order of the
Treasury, the collectors and controllers, and other
principal officers of the Customs at the several ports of
the United Kingdom have received a notification from
the Commissioners to that effect, with directions to
observe that in future wood goods entered for exporta-
tion may, if required, be taken out of bond in less
quantities than five loads under the authority of this
order, which will be of conside,r,thle importance, as
the operation of the Act in this regard has been
found very inconvenient to the trade.

ERR LABITZKY.—The extraordinary sensa-
tion created by the charming and melodious music of this
popular composer, now the great feature in Gel many in all th,t per-
tains to Dance Music, has proved how great is the admiration in
this c untry fin' the better class of this style of music ; his Waltzes,
Polkas, Quadrilles, an s. Galops are no less remarkable for their ex-
quisite melody and sparkling briliancy than for their musician-!ike
qualities, and place him far above all other compos.-rs of light music.
Messrs. Cocks and Co., the publishers of Lahitzky's Music, par-
ticularly invite the attention of the musical public to the Herbst-
blumen, Bcrlmer, Tony, ...nd Orientalen Waltzes. The Californian,

PARTIES.

The following is a later account from Mr. Wise, the
American aeronaut, of this singular suggestion for a
leaping machine to assist exploring tourists:—lf we
take a balloon of limited size, about eighteen feet i❑
diameter each way, it will, when inflated with hydrogen
gas, be capable of raising 160 pounds independent of its
own weight. Now, if this be so fastened to a man's
body as not to interfere with the free use of his arms
and legs, he may then ballast himself so as to be a trifle
heavier than the upward tendency of the balloon, which
will be nearly in equilibria. If, then, he provides himself
with a pair of wings, made on the bird principle, with
socket joints to slip over his arms at the shoulders,
and a grasping handle internally of each one at
the distance from the shoulder-joint of the wing,
as the distance is from the shoulder to the hand, he may
beat against the air with his wings, and bound against
the earth with his feet, so as to make at least a hundred
yards at each bound. This the writer has often done in
the direction of a gentle wind, with the aid of his feet
alone, after his balloon bad descended to the earth, and
on one occasion traversed a pine forest of several miles
in extent by bounding against the tops of the trees.
Such a contrivance would be of inestimable value to ex-
ploring expeditions. Landings to otherwise inaccessible
mountains, escapes from surrounding icebergs, explora-
tions of volcanic craters, traversing vast swamps and
morasses, walking over lakes and seas, bounding over
isthmuses, straits, and promontories, or exploring the
cloud-capped peaks of Chimbarazo, could thus all be
easily accomplished.

DA N ÜBI AN PRINCIPALITIES.

The Wanderer has letters from Sarajero of the
24th ult., which contains an account of the Bosnian
insurrection. From these letters it appears that Omer
Pasha sent two battalions into the Herzegovina to
garrison the cities of Mostar, Trebinje, and Stolacz.
On the news of this movement, Rivas Pasha went
out to meet these troops at the frontier of the dis-
trict, where he told them that the Herzegovina was
not in want of any troops of the Seraskier, and
that they would not be received in the province.
When in spite of this warning the troops appeared
before Mostar, an insurrection brae out in that
place. The people expelled the Vizier, captured his
son, Rustee Bey, and prepared the city for a siege.
The insurgents published an address to the inhabi-
ants of the Herzegovina, calling upon them to join
their cause. Meetings are being held in various
places, and measures are taking for an energetic de-
fence. Almost all the Mussulmans have joined the
insurrection. The defiles leading to Bosnia are occu-
pied by the mountaineers. The Vizier intends re-
treating to the fortress of Stolacz; it has no artillery,
but is strong enough to resist a surprise. He has ad-
dressed the nation, calling upon them to rally round
him ; and he has the support of the Christian popula-
tion and of some Turks. The city of Trebinje is
commanded by Assan Bey, who opposes the revolu-
tionists. He is supported by the Rajas.
Rivas Pasha, at Mostar, is the chief of the insur-
rection, and the city of Mostar is being besieged by
Omer Pasha at the head of a Turkish army of 24
battalions. He has 34 heavy guns, and is accom-
panied by a corps of German, Polish, and Magyar
refugees. G-meral Bem and Hadi Pasha (PerLzel)
hay.! received orders to join his army.
In the face of thes2 events an Austrian corps of
observation of 15,000 men is being concentrated in
the frontier towns of Sainlin and Brod. ,

socket joints to slip over his arms at the shoulders,
and a grasping handle internally of each one at
the distance from the shoulder-joint of the wing,
as the distance is from the shoulder to the hand, he may
beat against the air with his wings, and bound agaiust
the earth with his feet, so as to make at least a hundred
yards at each bound. This the writer has often done in
the direction of a gentle wind, with the aid of his feet
alone, after his balloon had descended to the earth, and
on one occasion traversed a pine forest of several miles
in extent by hounding against the tops of the trees.
Such a contrivance would be of inestimable value to ex-
ploring expeditions. Landings to otherwise inaccessible
mountains, escapes from surrounding icebergs, explora-
tions of volcanic craters, traversing vast swamps and
morasses, walking over lakes and seas, bounding over
isthmuses, straits, and promontories, or exploriog the
cloud-eapred peaks of Chimbarazo, could thus all be
easily accomplished.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

The late South Australian advices allude to some
proceedings which had taken place between the
Governor, Sir Henry Young, and the inhabitants of
Adelaide relative to proposed improvements in the
shape of communication by railway between a point
on the Murray river named the Goolwa, and the
sea coast at Encounter Bay. It appears that the
great object of the present undertaking is to effect
a ready mode of transit to Port Elliot, which is
represented as a place well calulated for anchorage,
and which it appears might, if encouraged, be made
avilable for trade. The Governor, adopting the
views laid down in the reports presented to him on
the subject, had taken the formal measures for
bringing it under consideration. Opposing parties
had prepared a memorial objecting to the employment
of the Government funds in the manner described,
contending that the public works already in progress
had absorbed a considerable amount; that the proceeds
of the land fund (the source whence it was suggested
this outlay might be made) should at once be faith-
fully devoted to the supply of labour, and not to its
employment ; and, finally, that the project itself did not
warrant the expectations raised concerning its ulti-
mate advantages. The Governor had replied to the me-
morialists, answering their statements seriatim, conclud-
ing by assuring them that " whether her Mjesty's
Government should be pleased to acquiesce in their
objections to the proposed appropriation of the Crown
moiety of the Land Fund, and consequently should
direct its application to a further and earlier liquida-
tion of the Colonial debt, or should exercise the con-
trol vested in her Majesty by Parliament, and sig-
nify the royal pleasure to employ it in the manner
that has been proposed, it was his sincere hope and
wish that the appropriation might prove conducive to
the permanent interests of the colony." In support
of the proposal of the Governor a meeting had taken
place at Encounter Bay, where the views entertained
on the question were expressed in the following reso-
lution :

" That a port at Encounter Bay is the natural out-
let for the whole of the province of South Australia
to the eastward and southward of the Mount Lotty
chain of hills drained by the Murray and its tributa-
ries, as well as of those portions of New South Wales
and of the new province of Victoria drained by the
same rivers ; and consequently that the projected im-
provements at Port Elliot and the Goolwa Railway
are of the greatest consequence to the settlers located
throughout an immense extent of country, of whom
a very considerable number have contributed largely
to
,the Land Fund and general revenue of South
Australia."

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, Aug. 10.
ROSENTIIALL V. BATIADDOR-TEE NEPAULESE PRINCES,

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, M.
Rosenthall, an artist, against the defendant, Colonel
Dheer Shumsheere Jung Bahadoor, one of the Nepaulese
Princes who have recently Tithed:this country, to recover
the 91112 of 151. for painting a portrait.
The plaintiff said that he was instfucted by one of the
Nepaulese Princes, during their stay in London, to paint
his portrait, and as it was only to be a small sketch, the
price fixed was ten guineas; but as he afterwards
wished to be placed on horsebadr, an additional Si. was
to be charged. His brother, the Prince Bahadoor, was
so pleased with the portrait that he gave an order for
his likeness to be taken in a different way for 25/., and
the order was executed, and the money paid immediately.

He said here is 10/., and if you do not like to accept

that, I will not pay you one farthing.—(Laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE then gave a verdict for the plain-
tiff for the full amount claimed.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have three days later news from the Cape—
namely, to June 1. The last accounts from the Com-
mander-in-Chief, Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, 36,
was from the Mozambique, May 4. The gallant officer
was going to Zanzibar, and thence to Mauritius, and was
expected to return to Simon's Bay in September.
Sphynx, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Shadwell (son of
the deceased Vice-Chancellor of England), remained in
Simon's Bay. She towed the Apollo, 8, troop-ship,
Commander Rawstorne, into the offing, on the 29th of
May, and was to proceed to Singapore as soon as she
had filled up with coals, provisions, water, &c. She left
Plymouth March 2, but having touched at Rio, a mer-
chantman, the Royal Albert, from London, had reached
the Cape with English news to the 13th March.
Hermes, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Fishbourne, re-
turned to Table Bay May 29, from East London, with
Colonel and Mrs. Beckwith, 15 officers, 293 men, 13
women, and nine children, of the Rifles, about to leave
for England in the ship Duchess of Northumberland.
Pantaloon, 8, Commander Hyde Parker, whose
arrival at the Cape from the Mozambique we reported
last week, also remained there refitting. On the 29th
of May one of her prizes, the Brazilian brig Philan-
tropo, of 360 tons, with a cargo of Africans, arrived
in Simon's Bay from Quillemaine, in charge of Lieute-
nant Montgomery.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1850.

Nearly a week has elapsed since, on Tuesday last,
the Metropolitan Interments Bill was, by the Royal
assent, transformed into an Act of Parliament. Con-
sequently, however unpalatable its provisions may be
to ourselves and to those who coincide with our
opinions, we must how to its ordinances in all
loyalty as to laws, like all the other laws of the
realm, supremely authoritative. Nevertheless, while
we thus avow our submission to the general decrees
of the Legislature, we must in this particular instance
aver, at once and without any circumlocution what-
ever, that the measure just completed by the triple
sanction of the Lords, the Commons, and the SOVB.
REIGN, is:altogether too pernicious in its character,
according to our estimate of it, to allow of our re-
laxing any efforts to secure its amendment. On the
contrary, such efforts should, under present circum-
stances, only be increased by every_ conscientious an-
tagonist of the system recently inaugurated. If, for
no other reason, we should still struggle for the de.

A telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort of the 9th,
announces the dissolution of the plenary Assembly.
Austria has addressed an energetic remonstrance to
the Grand Duke of BAD EN against the march of
the Baden trot p into Prussia.

DENMARK Als4l) THE DUCHIES.
There has been another rencontre between the Danes
and the Holsteiners, and it would appear that the
former have again gained an important advantage, as
they have advanced nearer to the Eider.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Rendsburg, the Bth
in t
says—"
which Willisen has made a general reconnais-
sance, gave rise to some serious outpost skir-
mishing, but led to no important results." The same
telegraphic dipatch then adds—" Frederickstadt and
Husum are occupied by the Danes." This looks very
like a second victory gained by the Danes.
A telegraphic dispatch from llamburgh, dated the
9th, strengthens the supposition that a battle has been
fought. It says—" This morning at 2 A.M., the whole
of the Holstein army was on the move ; a great num-
ber of waggons were required."
The damage d ,ne by the explosion at Rendsburgh
has been very great. Almost all the Artillery cadets
have been killed or wounded ; eighty bodies had been
buried up to the Bth.
It is said that Gnieral KLAPKA will supersede
WILLISEN in the command of the Schleswig Holstein
army.

LORD SEYMOUR V. MORRELL.

This was an action brought by the Woods and Forests
Commissioners to recover 1,2391. Is. 9d., for dead rent,
alleged to be due in respect of cart ,in coal mines in Dean
Forest, awarded to defendant and his late brother by the
Commissioners, Messrs. Sopworth, Probyn, and Buddle.
The question of' fact in dispute was, whether the sum of
61. had been paid as " dead rent" in respect of two of
the collieries. The main question to be tried substan-
tially was, whether in fact the Commissioners had not
exceeded their powers under the Act of Parliament in
fixing a" dead rent," and whether their powers were not
confined merely to the fixing of tonnage duties on the
coal actually raised, and could make any award with re-
ference to gale rent, independently of the working of
coal, and the tonnage payable•on the coal so raised. It
appearing, in reply to observations by Lord Campbell,
that the case was one of considerable importance in the
Forest of Dean, and that it would continually go to a
superior court, it was arranged that the mattes should
at once be referred to that court, as a special case. On
the question of fact, after hearing evidence, his Lord-
ship decided that there was evidence of the appropria-
tion of two-thirds to the " dead rent " of the two col-
lieries; and the jury, by direction, found for the plaintiff
with a special case, subject to special verdict from the
court above.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr.
Gordon; counsel for the defendant, Mr. Alexander,
Q.C, and Mr. Phipson.
CROWN COURT.

The crown business is being rapidly disposed of, Lord
Campbell having tried several cases this evening after
finishing the cause list, and Mr. Greaves, Q.C., sitting
in a third court up Asks.

ROBBERY' OF I,7ool.—Corneius Rierdpn was charged
with stealing a 60/. note and other property from Cap-
tain Shepton, at Tewesbury.
Captain Sheptou left home on the 24th June for Glou-
cester, and had in his pocket a pocket-book containing
notes and bills; to the above amcunt. He lost his pocket-
book, and a 501. note was traced through Lloyd and
Co.'s bank in London to the possescion of a man named
Pulliam, who said he got it from Reirdon.
The jury, however, Acquitted the prisoner.

A RSON.—Richard Cove, a man 50 years of age, who
pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of arson, was called
up for judgment. His Lordship ordered him to be trans-

that this was the second instance on this circuit in which
prisoners had confessed themselves guilty of the crime
of arson, and had stated that they had been led to its
commission in the hope of being transported. It
