indifferent to the state of a large body, of .huroad beings in,
slavery.
Mr. BERNAL had a high respect for the opinion of
the Members of the University, but he regretted the tone

Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, as the prayer of
the petition went no farther than the resolutions upon this
question agreed to by this House, he could see no ground
of objection to it.
After a few words from Mr. J. SMITH, in support of

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Challenger, 28, Captain Fitz-Clarence, arrived on
Monday from Lisbon, having left the Tagus so long since
as the 9th inst. She put into Plymouth on Sunday to
land dispatches from our Ambassador at Lisbon. The
Challenger is to proceed to Canada, to bring the Earl of
Dalhousie, the Governor-General, to England.
The Russian Consulate at this port, is under expectation
of the arrival at Spitbead of four Russian sail-of-the-lies
and four frigates, which are intended to increase the force
of that power in the Mediterranean. These ships form-
ed part of the fleet destined for the Mediterranean,
which arrived here last year, under th• flag of Admiral
Siniaven, and which were withdraws, upon a re-
monstrance, through state policy, by our Government,
against the assemblage of so large a Russian force in the
Mediterranean. They returned to the Baltic, Admiral
Siniaven detaching the remainder of the ships to form the
squadron, now under the command of Count Hayden, ou
that station. Whether the now altered character of the
relations between Russia and the Porte will remove the
jealousy, which prompted the Government of this country,
to interfere on the occasion mentioned, we cannot say ; but
we observe that a first, second, awl third rate, the Boyne,
Bellerophon, and Pembroke, now in ordinary, at this port,
are under comse of having their lower deck parts hung, a
circumstance which is regarded as indicative of the likeli-
hood of their being soon commissioned.
The Tribune, 42, Captain Wilson, is to leave the
Medway to-day, she will call at Spithead, on her way to
the West Indies.

The Amity- transport, with a detachment of the 58th
Regiment on board, for Ceylon, remains wind-bound at
Spitliead.

At Spithead—Wellesley, Galatea, Challenger, and Lyra.
In harbour--Victory, Melville, Spartiate, Falcon, and
Onyx.
The students in the School of Naval Architecture at this
Dock Yard have received instructions to build a sixth rate
man-of-war, to be named the Actaeon.

A general order regarding the state of ships' guns, and
applying generally to the nicest observance of the fighting
equipment of our ships, has been this week issued to the
Fleet, by the Lord High Admiral, since his visit to the
River Medway.
The Royal Naval Annuitant Society having been esta-
blished five years, commenced paying their claimants this
week the sum of fifty pounds each, leaving a surplus of nearly
2001. to be carried to the general account. This Society
has realised a capital of 34,9001., and 1760 Members have
been enrolled. From this period no member will be ad-
mitted whose age exceeds sixty, nor will any member of
that age be allowed to increase his number of nominations.
We take this opportunity of urging upon officers of the
Naval Service the benefit of joining this Society, the prac-
tical working of which has proved its advantages. .
The report which has this week much prevailed, and
circulated through the medium of the London Papers, of
the relinquishment by that gallant and distinguished officer,
Sir Edward Codrington, K.C.8., of the command of our
squadron in the Mediterranean, or of his recal, we know
to be unfounded.
