There is an increase already of more than than eight hundred ships, over the corresponding. periods of the list year. The Stamp department, as. well as the Excise and Customs, are in a very masc. tory state. The great sums of money latelY paid to the Government, for the different duties, by the mercantile men in the City, are a great proof of the revival of confidence. The Brkish Officers who visited St. Omer on the oc casion of the late reviews, were honoured by great attention from the King of Faawcz, and were treated with the most marked civility by the French Officers sod soldiers. It is due also to the French Government to state, that a duty of fifty-five francs, payable on every horse entering France, and of five francs on nob - horse leaving it, was remitted, by an order from Paris, on all horses the property of British Officers, who had gone to see the reviews. The brave veteran "'meow had an odd way of com plimenting the men of his division previous to an en gagement. At the battle of Vittoria, when the third division so gallantly carried the bridge in front of, Poente Nueva this intrepid General mounted his horse, and patting himself at the bead of his troops, waved his hat, and led them on to the charge, with the bland compellation of " Come op, ye rascals !—Come on, ye fighting villains!" An address which proved most effective, Ira the bridge was carried in a few minutes. Yesterday, a fire broke out in the wine cellars of ileum Yates and Co. in Mincing Lane, the ceilerman haring imprudently left a candle burning. It was, however, soon extinguished, but not before a. great quantity of wine was destroyed. A very respectable innkeeper in Suffolk, who is also a brewer, lately fell into company with a stranger, who gratuitously offered to instruct him in an improved method of refining beer, promising to send him a packet of ingredients, which were to work wonders (as indeed it so turned out). This the brewer dto decline, on the sc ore o f hi s b eer haviog alreadbnf e eased his cos toners. He was therefore not a little asonished in re ceiving some time after a small parcel of the wonder working ingredients. The parcel was laid by with the in tention of returning it, but it was not done directly. The circumstance, however, was recalled to the brewer's re collection, and the promised wonderful operation dis covered itself in the visit of the excise offer, whom hit new friend had, by an information, directed to go and make a seizure of the illicit ingredients, for the rake of one moiety of a heavy penalty consequent !Poo their being found in the brewer's possession. The Commissioners reduced the penalty to the lowest sum Possible, but this was very considerable, which was di vided between the.ezcise officer and the kind friend who bad made the present. dben 1 iveri M► tat. ■ee Pu rata if re an ic.lb • 1 t;PORTING INTELLIGENCE. Dmic tv DO v N ig dASTillt ..Rail.CatiLS. tendarnoe at the Betting Rooms last night, was Meek that large as they are.. it was found a most impossible to accommodate all. Noble Lords were constrained to st mil upon the tables and ehairs—the passage,' were choaked up and al was noise and confusion. Of course nothing was tallied of but the St. Leger, and betting was eery anianate4, without being so heavy as we have beard at former meetings, which may be attri buted perhaps to the presumed certainty of one of the lest two favourites winning doe stakes. The business did ant close till: near two o'clock, when the odds had settled tbus:—.2l, to 1 opal Mameluke; 4 to 1 apt Granby (taken); 15 to 1 apt Matilda (taken); 17 to 1 apt Lanaria (taken); SS to 1 apt Byram (taken)g 115 to 1 apt Popsy (taken); 1.5 to 1 agst Reviewer • 23 to 1 ogee Kit Cat ; Si to 1 apt each of the Maoris, Sancho, and Translation. • The businessof the night suffered a singular Interruption when It was at its height. A fellow, thiliklog that in each speculative times, at such a speculative place, and lu suck speculative company, speculation of some sort or other, not warranted by Mies must be on, had given notice to some Magistrate that he should be on look oat; and had, we are informed, armed himself with the yof a warrant. He happened, however, to select his time ildistreetly, for nothing but legitimate gambling weeping on •wben went upon watch. He had sneaked into some of the dilioatablishment,aod was an his return from an ineffectual tsese dm be was discovered, and his friendly intentioas being immedistely scented, be was greeted with a M View halloo,' and compelled to run the gauotiss of kicking through the whole com pany, the punishment being given with a gusto which must have Been more relishable to the givers than the receiver. The new Rooms were again crowded this morning at an early hour. Betting 'opened as above, and metiellied tolerably brisk till the race rime commenced; the place then very speedily relapsed into its natural quiet, and by one o'clock the streets were as free trim ,passengers as a wilderness. The Weather, till about twelve ettleck, had been any thing but favourable, it having tined hard ail the morning; at thi. time, however, it ceased, but was still gloomy and windy, nor War there any favourable change till a late hour in the afternoon. The weather had no effect in keeping back the people ; for long before the races they had settled themselves on the course, anxious for the Two Yeir-old race (which is always rut, first, in order that the Leger horses and joekies may have more time for preparation), that they might have their anxiety relieved mi the St. kw.. By two o'clock, the Grand Stead presented oft solid mass. all that ingenuity or perseverance could effect being crammed into it, and its appearance at this time was very imposing the number of elegantly dressed Ladies present making it stiU morn magnificent. The various minor stands fllkd with spectat the immense crowds which lined the course on both si• number of splendid equipages, and the many other incidentals of i race course, gave to the whole a brilliancy of effect which no other course in the wotkl can produce. To dwell upon the hopes and fears which agitated those interested in the race up to the tins* of starting—to describe the extraordinary degreee of excitement occa sioned Iv the unusual number of false starts, or tepee the most re. mote idea of the dishier that followed she actual race, would be a task 'Mich we willingly leave to others, freely confessing our in ability to do justice to it. We shall merely observe, that la the malty Leger* which. it has been our fortune to witness, the opposite motion, of hope, fear, jo), and disappointment, were newer more strongly developed.

Previous to the addling for the St. Leger, and when all the joekin (twenty-six) were assembled, and had answered to their aunts, they were addressed by Mr. Lockwood, who requested, that when they had mounted, they would forma line, parade to the Grand Stand. and then return to the starting post; he would then give the customary signal. (a wave of the band Sad •• go,") for start ing, and if it 'Should happen to be a false start, they would see a flag Silo; in the cross-roads. while Its noo-appearance would show that the start wu good. In obedience to these instructions, the whole lot paraded to the Stand, but whether it was from the imperfect manner in which the bac was kept, sr the gloomy state of the wea ther, the display was not by any means so effective as we bad expected. They then went to the post; but here great difficulty was experienced in getting the horses well together, and some time was lost before they went of. The brat three starts were false; In the fourth Mameluke turned restive, kkked, and plunged, so that Chifney could not get him along; the fifth was also bad, seve ral of the horses going as far as the cross-roads before the flag stop ped their progress ; another and soother followed ; and it was net till the eighth time that they went off in earnest. It was then bar o'elock, and the sun just then dispersing the clouds, which lowered 1 over the course the rest of the day.

The betting before starting did not materially alter the odds, but when Mameluke began his pranks in the false starts, his backers be came alarmed, and were averse to backing him; the odds were to 2 apt Mameluke, 4 to 1 agst Grandby (taken), ti to 1 apt Matilda, 20 to 1 apt Popsy (taken freely), 25 to 1 apt Makk, to 1 agat Reviewer, 30 to 1 apt Lord Scarborough's.' High odds against any caber. But Mameluke changed places with Granby just before the last start. and found to backers at 4 to 1. At the eighth trial they went off, but in the mast irregular min tier we ever before witnessed. Matilda took the lead, closely fol lowed by Trandation, and the rest at kast 60 yards behind. These two rattled away for about a mile, Translation having at cue time beaded, but being beat nff at that distance ; in the meantime Pedlar, Kit Cat, Laurel, Mameluke, and Granby were gaining ground every stride; Mameluke In particular, who at starting was nearly the last ; in weans up the kill be gradually crept forward, paned the otbessome by tor, at tie Ited•boure l was slew as the mares "anon, Ind at the distant:ovate was lire by a boadodl de others being vs.- pletrly beat of.
