Tne deceased noble- man was born on the 27th of January, 1795, his father being Sir Robert, who was creatod Marquis of West- minster in 1831. The family is one of the oldest and most distinguished in Great Britain, descending from illustrious ancestors who flourisued in Normandy as far back as the year 912, and were indirectiy related to William the Conqueror, with whom the founder of the English Grosvenors came over to England. The immediate ancestors of the late Marquis were first ennobled im 1621, when Sir Richard Grosvenor was created a baronet. In 1761 another Sir Richard was elevated to the peerage by the title of baron Grosvenor of Eaton, county pala: tine of Chester, and in 1784 was advanced to the dignities of Viscount Belgrave and Earl Grosvenor, ‘The subject of this sketch was not distinguished in politics, although he Lop neo & great deal of in- iluence.

Earl Grosvenor was in comparatively siender circumstances, but was the owner of a large tract of low, marshy land in Westminster, which yleided him but little and which was regarded as of little vaiue, The rapid growth ot London towards the land attracted tha attention of a master builder named Cubitt, wha jeased a number of the unproductive acres, turned thew into city lots and began erecting houses. The vaiue of the property now increased with marvel- lous rapidity, pon tt was built the present aristo- cratic portion of London known as Pimlico and Belgravia, Cubitt acquirea immense wealth by his enterprise; but the lucky owner obtained the lion's share. In a few years, it 18 stated, the lots leased by Cubitt will revert to the present owner, whose fortune will then be increased to probably $4,000,000 per annum.

This idea was tried with some success in the Children’s Aid Refuge, where te homeless boys of the street are gathered vogether, taught and fed, But 1 was diMcult to prevent them from going back to the streets, The induences which surround the newsboy and the shoeblack aro notennobling,ana thoughtful men were not surprised when the children of the Refuge relapsed once more tato vicious courses and swelled the lists of juvenile crime, In Boston, however, a schoolship nad been instituted where these enfuns perdus were trained into hardy seamen, This idea has lately been taken up in our city by the Commissioners of Public Caart- tles and Correction, aud the boys from Blackwell's Gnd Hart's islands have been drafted unto the school- ship Mercury, Yesterday morning the Mercury arrived of the Battery and cast anchor, haying cruised dowa the Sound from Hart's Isiand, her regular station, This clipper, formerly a Havre packet, is a noble vessel, 200 feet in length, 40 feet beam and 21 feet in depth, and about 1,600 tons register, Her dimensions be tween decks are 73¢ fect. Her accommodations and fitting up iu cablus, storerooms, &c., are perfection. She has been arranged for 900 boys, though at present there are only 114 on board; but there are 100 at Hart's Islaud eagerly waiting for the neces- sary uniforms to come on board, ‘These, a8 well as everyUling possible, are made at the various institu. tions, aud therefore the delay 18 altogetuer una- voldable, The yards are so heavy that to fill all the Stations in man-of-war style it absolutely requires 300 boys, and these there will not be the slightest dimeuity in obtaining. Having formeriy been a packet, everyiling about the Mercury ts in gallant, handsome style, Ail the woodwork is neatly painted, there Is a profusion of brasswork, waich 18 polished which the boys Keep tn reimarkabie neatuess, and lke # mirror. THE OFFICERS, Chief of these is Captain ptetson, a gentleman whose bravery and hugiuaity im the saving of bulan lute have been gratefully acknowledged by the Queen. of England, accompanied with a valuable gold watch, and by the King of Prussia, who presented him with a superb chronometer. He has also been the posi tent from various societies of two gold and three silver medals, He was tn command of the vessel when she was purchased by the city of New York for her present purpose, and says pleasantly that i seems be was bougut with the slip, A more fitting chief oilicer it would ve dificult to find, and it is at the same time an acknowledgment of his services to humanity, Next is Mr. HW, Summers, the executive oflicer—a veteran naval officer, prompt and daring—who has sailed with Cushing (the hero of the Alvemarie business) in the Maumee in the East Indies. Also Claries Lockwood, sailing mas- ter; Alfred D, Payne, paymaster; Frank Gregory, second ofiicer; George Kidridge, thud oficer, aud Mr. J. Hays, the schoolmasier. There is no regular chaplain, but the vessei is visited by ministers ‘of every denomination, Catholic and Protestant, There are also twenty regular seamen, A. B,’s, three of whom are employed as petty oflicers, WHAT THEY LEARN, The voys are divided into starvoard and port Watches, ia naval style, and are well and warmly clothed in naval uniforms, baving round their blue cap a ribbon with ‘Mercury’! in golden letters. They Tige at haif-past five (at tive A. M. in summer), stow away their hammocks and wash tie decks, clean the brass work and make things ship-shape until half- past aeven, when they have breakfast, Then haif of each watch goes to school, and the other half goes on deck, loosing and reefing sails, learning seamanship, exercising with the two brass six-pounders they have on board, and making all Kinds of sennit to noon, when there is a spall for dinner and recreation until one. At that hour work of the same Kind recommences until five P. M.,@vhen comes supper and freedom until half- past seven. At that hour they sing hymns and Strong, hearty songs, like “Hoist up the Flag,’ which they give with immense gusto aud with a strong intonation on the final syilable, tu genuine Bowery styie. After this they learn to box tue coim- as3. Then comes the vive voce recitation of tne ord's Prayer, then five minutes’ silent prayer, and then hammocks are piped down, aud m a tew momeuts the eusbryo tars are ia the soundest of slumbers. THEIR FOOD. c Their dietary is ample, generous, spiendid, It haa been made so with (ue idea Of making the boys look witb pride and fondness on their vessel and not re- gard it inany way as @ prigon. Fresh meat four times a week, salt twice, lish, fresh or sait, on Ire days, with an abundance of tresti mixea vegetables, and puddings every day of Indian meal or nour with plums (the traditiona: plum duit) is the dinner, The breakfast and supper Is tea, coffee or cocoa, with biscuit aud butter, and in harbor soft bread, with molasses or apple sauce, and twice a week boiled rice, The quantity is ample, and the be pregency Of the boys is most emphatic evidence of 11s good quality. Bumble says, meat makes map proud. I certainly does, and ut ia exactly this pride which the school ship Mercury endeavors to instil; and the boys, by their mual looks, their upright bearing and unembarrasse: carriage, provg clearly how successful the system is, The juvenue thief lurks, slinks, cringes no more. He gazes straight into his questioner’s face and answers promptly and pleasantiy. Hoe ts becoming a maa, with manly principles, The principle ts instilled into them at once, by Mr. Summers, that skulking and thieving are alike contemptible. And the boys are so impressed with this that they will punish a skulker themselves. Any one whose watch 16 above and who is caught below 18 beaten up by the watch between decks, and “I one who attempts to shirk bis work nasa hard time of it, so that skulktug is extremely rare. ‘The aspect of the boys is distincuy manly, American. ‘A NURSERY OF GOOD SEAMEN. Admiral Porter has luformed General Bowen, one of the Commissioners of Public Charities, that he 1s highly im favor of the institution, aud ‘believes 1 will prove a valuable nursery for our naval forces, He intends shortly to make a cruise in the Mercury and to consider what improvements may be made in the present system, which, however, is almost in its imfancy, being hardly @ month old, Everything is doue in man-of-war style, an the “boys, auick and impressionable, ' have caught the feeling, and nine-tentls of them declare that when they are fit they will join the naval service. Tue mercantile marine ts held in hor- ror. Tales aro in clrenlation, only to true, of the barbarous treatment of sailors in such ships, and the prejudice against them Is therefore great. ‘This 13, in- deed, of the less consequence, since the extraordinary tariff of the administration has reduced the commer- ciai marine toa zero. But the desire of the boys to be thorough seamen is not feigued. It is earn- est and true, They stand occasional rough weather in thetr trips of fifteen or sixteen days with actual complacency, and go aloft, reef, furl and secure sails and rigging with rapidity and tn good style, In their practice, short-lauded as they are, they have furied and joosed satis in fourteen min- utes, althougii from their scant numbers there are 10 boys to fill the stations of the lower sails. The inte- rest of the officers is equally great; they are as desirous to teach a3 the boys to learn. There is the utmost harmony and good feeling among them, and there can be little doubt that we have at last discov+ ered the real Way to utilize our juvenile criminals, TROTIING AT THE FASHION COUR ID, Two trotting races came off at the Fashion Course yesterjlay afternoon, ‘The first was a match for $500, two mile heats, between Mr, Smirh’s bay gela- ing Trenton (formerly known as Stepnen A.

Au interesting point, disclosed in the course of the Washburn-Paragnayan investigation, stili in progress, has just leaked out, While the Foreign A(fairs Committee were in session last week in New York tt seems Commander Kirklapd, of the United States Navy, was summonedas 4 witness. Kirkland ig the man who commanded tho steamer Wasp, which brought Minister Washburn and his famuy from Paraguay to Buenos Ayres. It ts said that one Gay, while at dinner on board the Wasp, the con- yersation turned upon the Washburn dimcuity with Lopez, and particularly as regards the alleged conspiracy against Lopez, in which Mr, Washburn was charged with being an accomplice. Mrs, Wash. burn joined in the conversation, and remarked that there was no conspiracy, 90 far as she knew, to change the form of government in Paraguay. She said that one day at her dinner table in Paraguay, in the presence of her husband and some others, a pro- position to depose Lopez and set up bis brother Do» mingo in his place was discussed, but that it did not include a pian to radically change the form of government. At this remark of his wife Minister Washburn looked up and frowned unpieasantly at the lady. Commander Kirkland noticed tie statement of Mrs, Washburn and the hor- ror of her husband at the unexpected disclosure, and exchanged glances of wonder with a gentieman who had come from Buenos Ayres with him in the ca+ pacity of au interpreter. Before going into the committee room to testify Kirkland was advised by a member of the committee to beware of what he said concerning Mra, Washbura, as that lady intended to contradict his expected statements about her con- versationson board the steamer Wasp, Kirkland when before the committee was interrogated on the point by one of the members and sald:—"Gentlemen, I am gorry I haye been interrogated on this point, for 1 disitke, to connect the name or @ lady with anything uopleasans; but as it seems my veracity is here tm question I am com- pelled to speak out. Saying this Kirkland drew from his coat pocket an affidavit of the interpreter who haa heard the remark of Mrs, Washburn on board the Wasp, and which proved to be a com- plete corroboration of the Commander's story, Mr. Washburn, who was present, suggested the foliow- ing question to be asked of Kirklaud:—‘Do you generally back up your statements with affidavits as Commander?’ ‘Yes, sir,” replied the Com- mander, “when I have to deal with suspicious par- ties.” The disclosure of this conversation of Mrs, Washburn ia said to have produced a very stroug impression upon tie investigating committee, The publication-of young Mitre’s note protesting against Miolster McMahon's report against the Bra- ailian outrages produced considerabie feeling here to-day. It was expected by many that au un- pleasantness would ensue between McMahon and the Secretary of the Argentine Confederation, but alt is quiet, McMahon laughs at the protest and will not condescend to notice it, His full report to the State Department and his expected testimony before the Investigating committee within this week will furnish a complete answer to all tho statements of Washburn and Company, Exciting Contest Over the Town Seuntorshin.
