SERVANTS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Last night
a public meeting of the friends and subscribers of this Insti-
tution was held in All Saints National School-rooms, Mor-
timer-market, Tottenham-court-road ; the Rev. H. Hughes,
M.A., in the chair. The chairman stated that the object of
the institution,wbich was in its infancy, was to prevent do-
mestic servants from becoming inmates of the workhouse in
old age and bad health, by raising a fund of 10,0001. towards
the building of 40 alms-houses within five miles of London,
through subscriptions of one shilling and upwards, for the
reception of domestic servants of both sexes, without refe-
rence to religious views—character and necessity being the
only qualifications of a claimant. He stated that the plan
originated with domestic servants, and that the nobility and
gentry gave it their cordial support. Other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, which, after the election of officers for
the ensuing year, broke up.
CONFLICT BRTWEER SMUGGLERS AND CUSTOMS
OFFICERS.—A letter from St. Jean de Pied de Porte, of the
7th, ray s, " On Wednesday last some goods were sent from
the Alludes in charge of two bands of men, one Spanish, the
other French, who marched separately but in concert, pre-
ceded by four men, who acted as guides, and who had strict
orders to abandon the packages if they met any interrup-
tions on the road. The bands had reached the midst of the
great forest which separates the villages of Eugni from
Elizondo, in the Bastan, and the guides had just crossed a
torrent when four Spanish carabinsros started from an am-
bush, and cried Halt 1' The smugglers immediately threw
down their loads, recrossed the torrent, and scrambled up the
steep bank on the right shore ; the donaniers seeing them
escaping fired, and one of the guides, a fine young man, only
twenty-two, fell dead, a ball having pierced him through the
heart. The officers then picked up the packages and were
ascending the left bank, to proceed into the interior, when
they were surrounded by both bands, who, exasperated by
the loss of their comrade, overpowered them, and so cruelly
beat them, that it is said three are since dead. The Spanish
smugglers were by no means the least enraged against the
officers of their own nation."

---1 A N.ENV OREGON CLAIMANT.—It appears that the
Emperor of Russia is in the field as a claimant for the dis-
puted Oregon territory. lie maintains that his possessions
descend to 54 degrees 40 minutes. We cannot learn the
ground of his Imperial Majesty's claim, but the following
official document has been issued :—" Department of State,
Washington, September 26.—The Russian Minister at Wash-
ington has informed the Secretary of State that the Imperial
Government, desirous of affording efficient protection of the
Russian territories in North America against the infractions
of foreign vessels, has authorised cruisers to be established for
this purpose along the coast by the Russian American Com-
pany. It is therefore recommended to American vessels to be
careful not to frequent the interior seas, gulfs, harbours, and
creeks upon that coast at any point north of the latitude of
54 demo 40 minutoo.".—Toronto Globe.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—A terrific gale has been blow-
ing all night and the greater :Part: of this day- froirt.the.
W.S.W., which has prevented the-President and the:other,
ships named yesterday from sailing. The sea has _been
ning fearfully high, and at high water dashed over tliglani,
parts of the town with great violence, deluging
ignorance or hardihood ventured dpolr the•wiill.o.,4 i".O-33re-
sident, 50, struck her topgallant and royal .8.
The lower parts of the dwellings alongshore are delug“ with
water ; there is every appearance at present of the gale con-
tinuing during the night.
The Victory, 104, Captain Moubray, is still at moorings off
Gosport, during the examination of her, on the other aide of
the harbour. The mud-engine is at work over the latter
spot, it is reported, clearing a greater depth than required for
the Victory, as another and larger ship is expected to be
eventually moored there as ordinary guard-ship. . •
The Thalia, 42, Captain Hope, is rapidly dismantling such
part of her gear as the violent state of the weather will admit
of. Last night as Mr. Puttiek, tidewaiter, was on duty on
board her he perceived a boat under her quarter, which with
great difficulty he succeeded in boarding, when he found five
large boxes of Cuba cigars in the bottom of the boat, be-
longing to a waterman known by the sobriquet of " Hong-
kong," who attempted to row away with him, but the tide-
waiter having seized one of the sculls, pulled the boat round
again, when " Hong-kong " let go the remaining scull, and
jumped overboard into the water, and is supposed to have
escaped; but whether with a less penalty than hewould have
suffered had he been taken is very doubtful, as the tide was
running strong at the time, and the tempest was increasing in
violence every minute. The boat and contents were taken
to the Custom- house for condemnation.

where the Persian, 16, Commander Coryton, was ordered to
join her.

The Scourge, steam-bomb vessel, is alongside the jetty re-
fitting. She will have a galvanic apparatus fitted communi-
cating from the paddle-boxes to the engine-room, to super-
sede the services of a man or boy in giving the orders from
the deck to the engineers.
