Sir THOMAS MARTIN, whilst mustering the artificers
at Plymouth Dock-yard, last week, ndticed several of
the men with long beards. They turned out to be
disciples of Southeott ; but Sir Turmas could not see
what a beard had to do with religion, and told them the
Navy Board would decline placing apprentices under
them whilst so di.tfigured.
A public Meeting has taken place in Trinidad, for
the purpose of taking into consideration a Petition to
Parliament, on the subject of the Order in Council, con-
eerning the treatment of slaves. The inhabitants of
Trinidad solemnly declare, that they are sincerely and
heartily desirous to promote the amelioration of the c
dition of the slave population in that Island, and that,
on that subject, the Resolutions of the House of Com-
mons of the 15th of May, 1845, have ever met with
their unqualified approbation; and they pledge them-
selves to support and promot to the utmost or their
power, all measures founded on the spirit and prin-
ciples of those Resolutions.
Two ships, the Grenada, bound to Sidney, New South
Wales, and the Sir Charles Forbes, to Van Diemen's
Land, are now lying off Woolwich, and are receiving
on board female convicts sentenced to be transported.
Within the last few days nearly 60 have been removed
from Newgate, and many ate daily arriving from the
various country gaols. So disproportionate are the
numbers of male and female convicts is the above-
mentioned Colonies, that Government send Tay few
women to the Penitentiary at Idillbank. Those who go
abroad are placed under the entire control and manage-
ment of a naval surgeon, who, in addition to his regular
pay, receives a certain allowance for each woman who
arrives at the place of the ship's de.tination. The last
ship which took out female convicts contained about
150, only one of whom died on the voyage.
The public attention has frequently been drawn to
the subject of the numerous accidents which have oc-
curred, in consequence of the careless manner in which
the steam vessels are managed. The case of the death
of Captain Pritchard, in which the Coroner's Inquest
levied a deodand of 1001. upon the vessel, will be re-
collected, and there now scarcely a week passes without I
some disaster being occasioned by the rapidity with
which the vessels pass through the water, thereby
causing a heavy and dangerous swell. A short time
back two boys in a boat narrowly escaped drowning,
the boat being swamped; and a few days before, a
barge laden with 50 chaldrons of coals, although safely
moored, was filled with water, and completely sunk.
It is said to be the intention of those engaged in busi-
nesses connected with the navigation of the Thames, to
take steps for the purpose of preventing the steam vessels
a from coming into the pool.

LAW ILIPOWL
COURT OP CHANCERY, Amos ss.
Mr. LOVAT applied for an injunetioa to restrain
Messrs. Pickering and Gray, trustees for Lady Amon,
who, he said, had applied monies inconsistently with
the purposes of their trust, from continuing to act is
that trust.

The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the injunction to
issue, but directed th.t affidavits might he filed, setting
forth the particulars of the trustees' alleged misconduct;
for he did not like, without such evidence, to affix upon
men the imputation of misconduct, which would expose
them to the severest penalty. If the money bad been
placed in the bands of the Accountant• General, the pre-
seat difficulty would not have arisen.
