By telegraph from Southampton, we are informed of the arnval, this day, of her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, from Lisbon, with important dispatches for government. She has also brought home Lord Howard de Walden. A rumour has been for some days afloat assigning the government of Bombay to the Hon. Charles Vil liers, the member for Wolverhampton. We regret to find that it has not been confirmed, and that in all probability no such appointment will take place, though it is perhaps scarcely possible a better selec tion could be made. Mr. Villiers is well known for his persevering opposition to the corn-laws, and his unceasing advocacy of free-trade measures. A tried reformer and consistent politician should have paramount claims upon the present administra tion, and such claims as should not be postponed to any considerations of mere expedience. Mr. Vil liers is the man just fitted for the administration of an Indian government. Poasessing com prehensive views he would apprehend at once the nature and extent of our complex Indian policy, and the intricate rela tions which at present subsist between us and many of the native states and governments; and following the dictatesof his own good sense,he would act, when neces sary, up to the occaaion,neitber adopting implicitly the advice of others, nor yet rejecting entirely, as Gover nor-Generals have done, the counsel of ° those whale experience should give to their opinion the sanction of authority. But Mr. Villiers is not a mere politician. He is a philanthropist and a man of business ; and, therefore, well suited for a government in India, where the condition of our native subjects demands amelioration, and some commercial regulations very ex tensive reforms. Mr. Villiers' appointment would be acceptable in Bombay, but there seems no present ththat he will be selected for the trust, judging e following letter addressed to a cotemporary : "Mr. Villiers presents his compliments to the editor of ON Morning Herald, and begs to inform him that he lias sot been appointed Governor of Bombay, and that he has no reason for believing that such an appointment is in tended." Sheffield has come forward to advance the move meet which has been commenced, with the view of obtaining the immediate sanction of government to the free admission of food. At a meeting of the Town Council, held on Thursday, it was proposed and carried by a unanimous vote, that, sympathising most deeply w►th the inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland in their present destitute condition, owing to the loss of the potato crop, and with a view of mitigating as far as possible that great calamity, a memorial be presented to her Majesty in Council, praying that an order may be passed for opening the ports, and for the immediate admission of foreign corn into this country duty free. There are letters from Rio Janeiro to the 23rd August. The political news is unimportant. The exchange, custom-house receipts, and export of coffee continue to improve, whilst that of sugar had greatly fallen off. A letter from Rome, which appears in the Unirers, gives particulars of a visit paid by the Pope to Albano and to Castelgandolfo, his country Beat near that town. His journey from and his return to the Holy City was a complete triumph. The roads were crowded with multitudes of pagans who hailed his presence with demonstrations of joy. There are farther accounts from Rome in the Sema phore de Marseilles, from which we learn that the congregation of Cardinals having shown a systematic opposition to the reforms proposed by Cardinal Gizzi, his Holiness had replaced that body by a Consult° di Stat,), composed of the Under-Secretaries of State, Prelates of Rome occupying the highest administra tive function, and some distinguished lay members. rtgrAe i t - o. 41.] LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 17,1846. [3d. trope In the- geld gahut the Gaikas. In this war these Kaffir' have bon the moat active and dangerous alt e con federated banbarians in checking the operation Of the troops, and in crippling the columns or divisions, by cutting off supplies. " In the former war the Kaffirs were contemptibly weak in mu•kttry and hors a. In the present war they have exhibited in the fled an amount of force in both these arms, at first sight, justly alarming. " In operating in a barbarous country, where all supplies must be brought from ti.e sear, the main difficulty of a cora -1 minder is in feeding his troops, and especially his homes. And this difficulty increases in a much greater proportion I than the numbers he has to feed. It may be easy to feed 5,000, when it would he very difficult to feed 6,000, and next to impossible to feed 10,000. " It is the same with the raising of forces from a popula tion scattered over a vast country like this colony. Sir Benjamin drew his levies chiefly from the eastern districts, nearest the scene of action. Sir Peregrine, requiring a larger forte than those districts could afford, had to wait till the farthest went sent up their contingents, from a dis time° of 600 miles by land. "In naming only the two governors and commanders in chief, the heads of departments, officers, and men, with whom and by whom they act, are by no means excluded from their share of reputation. In dealing with an enemy, armed with muskets, which, however ill managed, are stall formidable, almost every operation is obstructed in a bushy country, by the necessity of large armed convoys to OM occasion, where the assegai would have been demised. " Taking all things together, then, it appears, that the Commander-in-Chief in this war has encountered Mean parably greater difficulties than Sir Benjamin D'Urbon, had to contend with, and that he has achieved the nova moons in about the same time. Now all know the may dor racter of Sir Benjamin D'Urban, a high-trained. hag experienced, and most accomplished officer in e meat of service. And all a•ea know flir what sort of a thunderbolt he is, with a one him, and an enemy in front. It is no small honour to Sir Peregrine Maitland to ray, that on the same field, under greater embarrassments, he has crushed • stronger adver sary, and extended his conquest to the same river in an equal or shorter space of time. And this is the plain truth of the " The main divisions of the army, three in number, are now concentrating on the Amatola mountains, where San dilli and the hostile Gaika chiefs made their stand last war, and where their people and cattle are supposed or known to be placed for defence at present. Sir Peregrine, with Colonel Somerset, is on the Buffalo stream, near to where it issues from those ravines." SUPPOSED LOSS OF THE LOCH RYAN ROTTERDAM STEANI-VESSEL.—The Loch Ryan, Rotterdam steamer. which should have: arrived in London on Sunday evening last, had nat arrived up to eight o'clock last evening, and had not been heard of. The Loch Ryan was laden with about 200 brad of cattle and 100 sheep, and has been ascertained to have sailed from the Helvoetaluys on Thursday, the 9th inst. A report has reached the office of the Nethe,lande Steam Packet Company, in King William-street, city, dated from 0-tend, stating that the Loch Ryan had, during the storm of the night of the 9th inst., foundered off the mouth of the Texel, but that the captain and the crew had been rescued by and taken on board of a Swedish barque which was on her way home, Other reports state that the steamer was compelled, for safety, to run to the Elbe ; but as no certain information has yet been received, and as she is now six days overdue, the worst results are feared. csied.m., New, 26..

LANCASHIRE, OCT. 10.—Yhe Cotton trade of Old ham and the neighbourhood is becoming extremely dull, and it is seriously us contemplation amongst various mill owners to commence working their mills short time. Seve ral parties intending to speculate in the building of new cotton-mills have now abandoned their projects for the pre sent, and the immediate prospects in view for the bulk of the factory and other operatives are decreased employment and lowered wages. The broad Silk trade at Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, and Manchester, is exceedingly dull, ' and most of the operatives have not more than four day's work per week. The silk small-ware trade in the same districts is in a depressed state. The woollen cloth trade at Saddleworth rs not so brisk as it was six weeks ago, and yet the operatives generally have a mode rate share f employment. The cotton trade at Bury Bolton, Heywood, and the vicinities, is exceedingly languid, and, if an alteration does not speedily take place, the factory operatives will have to commence working short time ; face it some places, this week, the hands have begun to work lbw or five days per week, or ten bean per day.—Livespeol Mercury. MANCHESTER TRADE.—Speculators have taken far ther heart, from the advices from New York, per Cambria, and Cotton is again dearer. This is vitally affecting our trade, both home and foreign, as nothing like an aile;uate advance can in any instance be obtained. We are not, thhere fore, surprised to find that the working of short time is seriously contemplated. It would seem as if nothing else could cheek the onward course of speculation. So that, with dear corn and cotton on the one hand, and short time on the other, there appears but a sorry prospect fop the operative, as well indeed as for the master. Bat very little is doing in either Cloth or Yarn, and rates are irregular and un quotable, they being made conformable to the opinions or necessities of producers.—Manchester Times. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose branch, especially the finer and best qualities are very dull, and many of the hands in the villages arc sufferingfreese want of emplyment. The cotton cut-tp hose branch,whiek bee been bad for several weeks past, has rather suddenly mended, and frames that have stood for four or five weeks are now fully employed. The drawer and pantaloon branch was not amended, and there is little or no employment in the ilk glove tra de; still the quantity made is large. The bobbin net lace trade, though in some quarters a shade better, is yet dull. The making of a better description of nets from the Lever's machines is very slowly extending. The warp lace trade is upon the whole much better, and the frames are gradually getting to work. The silk warp lace trade, though contending with difficulties on all sides, is a shade better.— , Nottingham Journal. COMMERCIAL er MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. The Bank of England averages for the week ending the 10th inst., show the following differences on comparison with the returns for the year preceding. In the department of issue, less notes appear by 261,6601. ; the total avenge of issue being 29,078,136/. In active circulation, there was an increase of 221,705/. ; the average of notes out among the public being 20,772,360/. The public deposits were in increase by 2.5,2071., with a total average fund of 9,801,4021. Other deposits were in excess by 1.55,4831., with an average (on hand) of 8,322,6261. In " other " securities we have an Increase of 140,8901., with an average account of 15,227,665/. In coin and bullion the stock had dimi nished by 234,3921., with an average quantity in store of 10,582,234/. The Rest was less by 603,8271., the average being reduced to 3,383,1581. The decline in the Rest is sufficientlyfitecounted for by the payment of half years dividends on Bank Stock. The increase of active circulation would partly arise from the same cause, and partly from the enlarged amount of other" securities. So also the increase of "other" deposits might be attributable, to some extent, to the transfer of a proportion of Bank divi dends by the recipients to that mount IToff-post Two o'Cloek.—We have rather a flat market in Consols, as usually the case from the absence of dealers on this day of the week. .They are a shade lower, being 941 to 5 for money, and 96/ to 1 for time.

The Fives are 261 to 71 ; the Threes, 371 to 8. Portuguese, 41 to 3. The more knowing and sagacious of the bondholders anticipate no very beneficial results from the mission.

Consols, 94/ 3 The accounts received this morning from the Cape of Good Hope bring news from Cape Town to the 10th August, but nothing very decisive from the seat of war beyond the frontier. The operations in the Amatola mountains proceeded. The Kaffirs were dispirited, and having sustained considerable loss, continued to retreat before the advance of Sir A. Stockenstrom and Colonel Hare's divisions. If they retired upon the Buffalo points, as was expected, they would be outflanked, and compelled to encounter the force under Sir Peregrine Maitland, We are indebted to the Morning Herald for the following extracts : " The campaign was resumed on the 25th, Sir Andreas' (Stockenstrom's) division taking the lead. On Saturday of the above date, his division broke up camp at the Gaga ridge, and bivouacked at Block Drift that night, whence they marched to the Chumie Station on Sunday night. Four hundred of the Kat River burghers, under their officers, Groep, Botha, and Cobus Free, left on Sunday night to i urn Field Commandant Joubert ' s force, 800 strong, and that of Mr. Joseph Read, 660 strong, at Gaika's Peak, all to meet Sir Andreas' own force at the Chumie Hoek, where there are said to be an immense ren dezvous of Kaffirs. Sir Andreas has now about 2,800 men under him. Kat River, at the request of the inhabitents, had been placed in his division. Captain Sutton has been left in charge of the settlement, a service of the greatest im portance, as that is a gate through which the Kaffirs might rush into the colony, should they, as on former occasions, shrink from the front and re-appear in the rear of the in vading forces. I was told by an old commander under the Hottentot chief Boesak, that on Van der Walt presenting himself with an overwhelming force, he called his head men together, and said, " We can't meet him on equal terms. Don't attempt to engage his force.. Disperse and attack in large parties their homes; plunder, and that will disconcert, divide, and disperse his command." This was done, and had the anticipated effect.' " The following from Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's camp is interesting:-' Reli3ious worship is statedly kept up in RAILWAYS. Sir Andreas' camp. A gentleman wha spent a night in it says, that the camp appeared to him to be divided into eight The market is extremely good, considering the day er nine sections, in each of which religious worship was of the week ; and in several lines, such as Ambergates, Cam held night and morning, Sir Andreas attending in person. bridge and Oxford., Leicester and Bedford', Staines, and At four o'clock, a herald plays on the trumpet a tune to the Richmonds, Dutch-Rhenish, and East Indians, an improve hymn, ' Praise God from whom all blessings flow,' when ment in prices may be noted. all assemble at their various sections to praise the Author of SALES EFFECTED CP TO TWO O'CLOCK TIIIS DAY IN Life and the Lord of Hosts.

A private letter from Banff represents the situation of the fishermen and fish-curers on the east coast of Scotland umost deplorable, andthrough no fault of their own. Their ease is indeed one of gross injustice and neglect, as will be seen. " Our fishing stations," says the intelFgent writer." are full of cured herrings, when they might be admitted into countries where they are now in great demand, owing to our government not doing its duty." The late treaties between Holland and Belgium come in aggravation of the disadvantages under which patient and laborious communities are placed. Dutch herrings, in consequence of them, are admitted now into Belgium, at a duty of five francs, whilst Scotch cured are still subject to the duty of 16 francs. At such a monstrous differential duty, competition is out of the ques tion. What still more exasperates the injustice of the case is, that the Dutch herrings are all caught on the coast of Scot land, to which their fishermen have free access. Memorials were preparing to request the interference of Lord Pal merston with the Belgian governmeat.

The market has been plentifully supplied with all qualities, and the crushers have continued bee buyers.

Brimstone, of the first quality, has realised 5/. Is. 6d., and best thirds, 4/. 17s. 6d. per ton. Linseed Cakes support their value, and sales of Hull-made have been effected at 101. 16s. per ton, both for present deli very and for next two months.

Java, in eansequence of the dull accounts from Holland, is more freely offered, and prices are with difficulty sustained.

During the two last days all the good States Flour offering at 335. per barrel in bond has been taken by speculators. Oats obtained rather higher prices.

This morning being fine, a considerable quantity were disposed of ; and it is now thought more will have been sold than was at first expected. Towards mi,l-day a further disposition was evinced to take lower prices still, which had the effect of fleeting off a great part of the Hops unsold, both in the Farnham and country rows, so that there were not 500 pockets left to be stored for sale at the Andcver, fair, fast approaching. lathe Farnham row we observed some pockets belonging to the following growers unsold:—Mr. Paine, Mr. Stevens.

HALIFAX AND BOSTON STEAMERS.—The following is • letter received at Lloyd's this morning, from their agent at Dublin, dated 16th :rut, the substance of which no doubt gave rise to the rumour that one of the Halifax and Boston line of steamers had been destroyed by fire: "Dublin, Oct. 15th, 1846.—Captain Roche, of the Torrance, reports that en the 30th ult., at 10 o'clock p.m., steering E.S.E., he fell In with a ship on fire to the northward : he immediately altered his course, and ran down to her, going as close to her as he could with prudence, in the crippled state of the Tor rence. As well as he could judge, she had been on fire for some time, as her decks were all burnt, excepting the top gallant forecastle ; flames came issuing out of the stern wins ffs. From the time that Capt. Roche made her out first, he hoisted lights, in order that, should aay of the crew or passengers happen to have taken to the boats, and be in the neighbourhood, they might sec the position of the Torrence. Daring the night, he ran dead before the wind, keeping a good lookout ; a heavy sea being on at the time. Capt. Reche's reasons for supposing the vessel to have been a steamer, are, a short straight bowsprit, two tier cabin windows aft, sharp bows, high out of the water ; he could perceive irons in both sides amidships, where the paddles of a steamer would be, hat from smoke and the thickness of the weather he could not clearly ascertain what she was ; on the larboard bow he saw a small air port open. From Liverpool, Lloyds have received the following from their agent : " The remains of a vessel of about 360 tons, that had recently been burnt, with the Astrea from Weymouth to Quebec lying by, was passed 25th ult., in lat. 46, long. 53, by the Canabyses, arrived here." This is the only vessel re ported on fire, except the one noticed by the Torrence, of Dublin, the latter of which was reported to be a steamer : they were probably both dereleets set on fire by some passing vessel, whose safety had been endangered by them. ••• For lesteraay's ..itark,eis c last page.
