NAVAL AND MILITAILY.

The breakwater was towed on Tuesday to Dover,
and afterwards secured to its station by four anchors.
The conduct of the crews of British ships at foreign
islands frequently brings down summary vengeance
from the natives. The captain of the Oflley whale-
ship entertains no doubt that the fifteen men missing
have been murdered in revenge for an insult-offered
to their chief. The fate of the missionary Williams
may be also traced to the conduct of a ship's crew
which had previously visited the island.
LITERARY aND SCIENTIFIC.
Lady Calcott, whose death took place at Kensing-
ton Gravel-pits, had spent much of her life in travel.
She was born in the same year as Lord Byron, 1788,
and, before she was twenty-one years of age, was tra-
velling in India, the wife of Captain Graham. She
visited all the remarkable spots of the three Presi-
dencies in 1809, and published an account of them in
1812. Some years afterwards she sailed for South
America, having in the mean time resided in Italy,
and published two works on that country in 1820.

The most correct report of the pugilistic contest be-
tween Freeman and Perry will appear in Bell's Life
in London of December 11 ; also the particulars of
the Great Champion Coursing Meeting at Newmarket.
ALLEGED MURDER OF A JEW.—Considerable sen-
sation has been created in the neighbourhood of the
Circus, Blackfriars-road, in consequence of the death
of Mr. Nathan, a dealer in curiosities, who expired
last night from the dreadful injuries he received from
three persons at an auction-room in Great Marlbo-
rough-street, on the afternoon of Friday last. Three
persons are in custody to await the result of a Coro-
ner's inquest.
THE DUTCH IN JAVA.—The Dutch Government is
expected to bring forward a project for building a
town in the interior of Java, on the border of a river
which is to be made navigable, or, if no natural site
offered, a canal would be dug. The notion of se-
curity seems to have prompted this design, as it is
thought that Batavia is in such a situation that it
might easily. be taken by an enemy, who, finding him-
self in possession of this seat of the colonial govern-
ment, could easily reduce the rest of the island. The
new city would, therefore, be the capital of Java, and
the seat of government. —Bombay Times.

CONTINENTAL RAILWAYS.—We are informed that
the works of the Paris and Rouen Railroad are so
far advanced, as regards the contract of Messrs.
Mackenzie and Brassey, that it will certainly be ready
for circulation by the end of April ; and that the
only thing which could prevent its being then opened
i
to the public would be a delay n the supply of rails,
which, however, is not apprehended. Should the ex-
pectationwhichhave is more than eighty
English been made within
of its completion by the end of April be ac-
complished, lishmedi,letshiisnralielnwgatyh„
will
a period of two years and six weeks from the day
when the workmen first broke ground—a rapidity of
execution which is altogether unprecedented even in
England, and on lines presenting none of the difficul-
ties of the Paris and Rouen line, on which there are
many works of infinite labour, particularly two tun-
nels of great length, cut through flinty rocks, which
are chefs d'reuvre in their, way.—Galignani.
ADULTERATION IN MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.—

About three weeks ago a seizure of about four tons of
adulterated tobacco was made by the Excise in Hud-
dersfield, by whom it was brought to this town. We
understand that only about one-fourth part of the
seizure was tobacco, the rest being rubbish of little
snore value than 2d. or 3d. per pound. We are glad
that the authorities have succeeded in detecting this
wholesale fraud, not only for the sake of protection to
the honest trader, but also from the gross robbery of
the revenue which it has prevented. Proceedings
have been commenced in the Exchequer against the
guilty party.—Halifax Guardian.
A MANCHESTER BALL TN THE LAST CENTURY.—

The following announcement appears in an old num•
ber of Harrop' s Manchester Mercury :--" Manchester,
May 17, 1754.—8 y particular desire of several Gen-
tlemen and Ladies, on Wednesday, the loth,instant,
being the last day of the cocking, will be a ball, in the
New Assembly Room. Tickets to be. had at the
cockpit, at 2s. each. To begin at seven o'clock. in the
evening."
