that the lives of our officers and men should be endangered in vessels so notoriously unseaworthy as the Sarpy , one of a batch of half-a-dozen iron steamers , built for service on the coast of Africa , and which have been officially reported as not only incompetent , but unsafe . The Admiralty incur a heavy responsibility in sending them to sea . The Harpy has been on the south-east coast of South America for some years , and was one of the squadron engaged in the Parana . She is badl y designed , and is incapable of carrying her intended weights . She is very much overpowered with machinery . She is under 350 tons , and has engines of 200 horse power . This batch of steamers has proved scarcel y fit to do the work of tenders for dockyard and channel service . Another of them is now tender to the Herald , on an exploring expedition in the . Smith _Sars .

Christopher Maisey, Who Was Found Guilty...
Christopher Maisey , who was found guilty by a coroner ' s jury of the murder of the child whose body was found in Wadley Park fish-pond , Berkshire , has been recently arrested in Liverpool . He had been living in lodgings under the name of Slater . The police have ascertained his assumed name , discovered his retreat by means of a post-office order , sent to him by his friends under that name . A police-officer was waiting at the post-office to detain the person who might apply for the order . Maisey had made every preparation for going abroad , disguised as a woman , having provided himself with a fine bustle and luxuriant curls , & c ., and shaved his whiskers off closely . The mother of the child , who was Maisey ' s servant , has been acquitted of the murder , as it was shown that she Tifiver saw the infant .
Charlotte Hislop had been for some time living with Maurice Coulan , as his wife . He had been accustomed to treat her with great cruelty , and had on a previous occasion driven her to lay a complaint before the magistrates , in consequence of which he hael been imprisoned for some time . On Tuesday night he came home drunk , and after abusing her for not having his supper ready , he seized her by the hair and struck her violently in the face with his fist . He then thrust her out of the room . As he became more quiet she ventured into the room again , but the moment she appeared , he caught up a yellow earthenware jug , and swearing that he would smash her , struck her two terrible blows upon the face . The blood flowed forthwith down her neck and clothes ; one of the wounds if it had
been a little lower down , would have been fatal . Mr . D'Eyncourt , after hearing proof of these facts , said this was just one of those cases that he should wish to send at once to the sessions for trial , but he knew very well if he did so , that the complainant , like a number of other wives and women in recent cases , would fail to appear and prosecute him , either from fear or affection , and that the prisoner would then get off altogether without any punishment at all . He would , therefore , take care , as far as he could , that tho prisoner , and all men actuated by similar brutish propensities who were brought before him should suffer the extreme amount of punishment that he could inflict . He consequently ordered him to pay the full penalty of 51 ., or in default to be committed to the House of Correction for two _months _.
Two Bodies Were Found In The Serpentine ...
Two bodies were found in the Serpentine on Monday . They were supposed to havo been drowned while bathing . A boiler exploded on Monday , in the Green Bank Saw Mills at Wapping , the shed in which it was placed being blown into the air , and some of the pieces _threiwn a quarter of a mile [?] . Ono man who was at work on the roof of the mill received fatal injuries , anel several persons were wounded by the falling materials . Mr . Worsley , a hair-dresser anel perfumer in tho New Cut , Lambeth , was awoko on Sunday morning by a noise
m his shop , which he attributed to cats ; but on opening bis eloor ho was met by volumes of hot smoke , which nearly suffocated him . He woke up all his household , but the smoke was too great for them to cscapo by tho staircase . All of them , except one bcel-rielelen old lady , at length got through tho upper windows upon a pent-house over the shops , where they waited for tbe arrival of tho iireme : n , who at last brought the : m safely te > the ground . Tho old lady , too , was not , forgotten , one : of the ; inmates , Mrs . Jackson , having carrie : el her out em her back ; but at the same' moment , a _liolie . eman named Irelanel had _climbeid
ii ]) to a wmelow by means ot a pole" , and went from room to room , in se : arcli of the invaliel , not knowing that she had _be : e : n alre : aely _reiscucd . The : smoke at last so ovewpe > weroel him , that be ; was obliged to leap fre > m a window to e : scape : suffocation , lit ; fell threiugh a skylight , anel was so fearfully mutilated anil cut by the glass that , his life is in _in-oat elanger .

the hemp , and almost encircled the driver . He instantly jumped off the wagon , and before he had time to stop the horses he found the _vehicleon one broad sheet of flame ; by a desperate effort he succeeded in taking the horses out , and a number of persons soon came to his aid . They succeeded in turning the vehicle over , and shooting the blazing material into the carriage road , where it burnt more furiously than before . Mr . Morris , the engineer of the High Holbom brigade station , quickly _att ended with an engine and a body of firemen , and in the course of an hour or so the flames were entirely extinguished . The property belonged to Mr . Maggs , of Somersetshire , and was worth from 1201 . to _IfiOL
A collision took place on the Clyde , on Friday week , between the Citizen steamer and the Princess Alice , a large steamer from Londonderry . The Citizen in going down the river met the Princess Alice , and on then ? approach , the latter , as it is supposed , from touching the ground , refused to answer her helm , and fell across the track of the other . The engines were reversed , but not in time to prevent the collision . A number of passengers who were standing on the deck of the Citizen were thrown down by the shock and seriously bruised . A young woman with her child , five weeks old , when the Citizen was supposed to be sinking , rushed towareis the other vessel and fell overboard . She got Under the paddle-wheels , and was drowned , together with her infant .
The inquest respectmg the death of Mr . John Sard , who was drowned on board tho Duchess of Kent , on the first of July , was resumed , on Wednesday , at Gravesend . A number of witnesses from the crews of both the Duchess of Kent and the Ravensbourne , were examined . The coroner stated , that the rules laid down for the navigation of the Thames , obliged vessels meeting each other , and coming within a dangerous distance , both to port their helms [ which would turn them in the direction of the starboard , or right-hand bow ] . The evidence was slightly contradictory in some points , but it seems that the Ravensbourne was going down the river , near midchannel , leaving plenty of room between her and the north , or Essex side ,
of the river . The Duchess of Kent was coming up the river , near the north shore , when the vessels came in sight , and at this point strdck across the river towards tbe south shore , between the Ravensbourne and the Meteor . There was some difference of opinion as to the propriety of the course of the Duchess of Kent , the captain of that vessel , and some others , maintained , that when the tide was running down , as it was at the time of the accident , it was the usual and proper course , for a vessel coming up , to cross from the north to the south side , at that point . On the other hand , some of the witnesses maintained that the proper course for a vessel coming up the river , was to keep near the north shore . The Ravensbourne was in charge of a pilot at the time , who seems entirely free from blame .
When the Duchess of Kent was seen approaching , the engines were stopped , turned astern , and the helm ported . The Duchess of Kent , on the other hand , kept on her course across the river till she was near the Ravensbourne , and then starboarded her helm [ which would turn her bows towards the left , apparently with the object of crossing in front of the Ravensbourne _^ . It was said by several of the witnesses , that if the Duchess of Kent had ported her hehn in time , the collision would have been avoided . Others , again , seemed to think that if this had been done , the force of the tide would have rendered her unmanageable . The captain of the Duchess of Kent was below , at dinner , until just before the collision . Ho was not sure that ho would have taken the course adopted . Tho inquiry is aeljourned .

An adventurer has appeared in Paris , pretending to be the last member of the illustrious family of Gouzague . He assumed , in addition , the titles of Duke of Mantua Prince of the Roman Empire , Officer of the Legion of Honour , Grand Officer of the Order of Stanislaus , Kni ght of the Order of Military Valour of Poland , Grand Master of the Order of the Redemption , Lieutenant of the Grand Master of the Supreme Order of the Four Emperors of Germany , Protector of the Orders of Merit of Prussia and of the Lion of Holstein , & c . In 1846 , he lived in Paris
in great style , and was received by high personages , _-tflio were convinced of his rank by papers _vvhich he produced . During the last reign it was for some time in contemplation to appoint him colonel of the foreign legion . However , he was sent back into his native obscurity by a discovery that he was receiving an allowance from the French Government , as a Polish refugee , under the name of Count Manizouski . He recently ventured forth again into the light , but the inquiries of the police sealed his fate . It was found that he had supported himself by obtaining large sums under pretence of conferring all the orders which he assumed . Many seem to have been his victims . __^

HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The health of London in the week ending Saturday , 31 st July , has been disturbed by the prevalence of summer cholera and diarrhoea , yet the deaths have been 1040 , or 118 below the weekly average , which in the previous ten years was , when corrected for increase of population , 1158 . 532 males , 508 females , died in the week ; the mortality bore most heavily on early life ; for o £ 1040 who died , 686 were children under 15 years of age , 289 were in the middle stage of life extending from 15 to 60 , and 165 were of the _ao-e of 60 and upwards . A woman attained the advanced " age of 96 . One death in seven occurred in a
public institution , —namely , 92 in workhouses , < jy in hospitals , 6 in lunatic asylums , one in prison , 8 in the Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals . The districts of Chelsea and Greenwich , as well as Kensington and Wandsworth , experienced more than the usual mortality . During the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-pox ; 2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccination . Fifteen children were left unprotected by their parents , and died the victims of this negligence ; 54 children died of scarlatina , which is prevalent ; 34 persons died of typhus ; 145 of consumption ; 45 children of convulsions ; 31 persons ( all , except 2 , adults ) of disease of the heart ; 17 of bronchitis ; 32 of pneumonia ; 13 of enteritis ; 14 of disease of the liver ; and 25 of violence .
Diarrhoea was the reigning disease ; it was fatal to 110 children , 7 adults , and 8 persons of advanced age . It often approached in the severity of its symptoms to summer cholera , of which 10 children , 4 adults , and 2 persons over the age of 60 died . Here , as in epidemic cholera , early and prompt medical treatment is called for . Sixteen cases of cholera have been registered in tho
