LEATHER ISHEATHING.—The schooner Eliza returned yesterday from the Mediterranean, after an absence of six months. It will be recollected that this is the first vessel sheathed with leather. We learn that the experiment has fully equalled the expectations of those who suggested the plan. The owners, Messrs. Barker and Co., intend to exhibit to public inspection the bottom of the vessel, as I soon as the cargo is discharged.—Jfcrcantile Advertiser. " Arrived late last night, at his father's residence, Grove House, Old Brompton, Captain Brett, of the sth Hussars. who sailed from Bombay on board the Cambridge, the Bth of August. Some of4he passengers were put into a pilot boat off the Isle of Wight, but, by some mismanagement. she struck on the rocks within three hundred yards of the shore. A small boat was attached to'the pilot-boat, into which more than half the passengers ventured, and reached the shore in safety, leaving the remainder in a most perilous situation, until they were relieved by the same conveyance. Shortly afterwards the pilot-host sunk, with all the luggage, which was washed on shore the next morning. Alt the passengers were most hospitably received at the house of Mr. Howe, of the Isle of Wight. Captain Brett accompa nied Captain Duckenfield up to town, who, we understand, had brought despatches to Government from the Cape." The following is from Lloyd's List : Potts ISMOUT Dec.2l. " It has blown a heavy gala all day from SW. to W. and continues unabated. The pilot-hoat No. 20, reported yesterday to be lost, is confirmed to-day. The passengers, eleven in number, taken out of the Cambridze, from Borne bay, were all saved by a small-boat belon-4ing to the pilot vessel the Purser. Captains Duckenfield, Prissiek, and Anthony, clung to the man of the pilot-boat for one hour, till a boat came to their *distance. A guard was sent to look out for the despatches, some of which have been saved, but the directions are obliterated. The outwore-Sound remain all well." PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. The tendency of freedom to develop, and of despotism to repress, the energies and resources of mankind, may b well illustrated by the example of FizANcE and the UNITED ST•7 SS. Forty years ago the genius of Mr. WATT perfected the steam-engine. This important improvement might have travelled to France in a very little time; but it so hap pened, that while her men of science have explained its theory, and eulogized its usefulness, her manufacturers have been in no haste to avail themselves of its power ; her artisans have remained ignorant of its construction, and France had not the means of supplying itself with one of the most common instruments of industry, till the secret was carried over by a colony of English workmen. America, we suspect, has not furnished a single memoir on the theory of the steam-engine, but she has done better. The art was not long practised in England when it was transported to Philadelphia; a,.l many years before the steam-engine was known in Paris it was made in the highest perfection at Pittsburgh, a town which did not exist when Mr. Watt made his discoveries. • Nearly the same remarks will apply to steam navigation. Esc LA N D supplied the first hint of this great invention ; A ULRIC.% caught it up, improved upon it, and returned it to us in a new and perfect state of boundless utility and power. While England and America have thus been re ciprocating improvements, the men of science who stir rounded the French Government have made steam . navigation the subject of prize essays and ingenious specu culations ; but France was without a single steam-boat, st a time when nearly 300 were plying on the coasts and rivers of America! So far back as the reign of Lours XIV. experiments were made, and the resources of science applied to improve the form of ships; nay, schools, we believe, wcre esta blished to teach the art of ship-buildi: g, and excellent works on the subject are still in the French language. Yet see how the natural development of talent in a free society supplied the place of scientific refinements: do American vessels, built by men who are strangers to theory and calculus, arc the most complete in their con struction and equipments of any that cross the ocean, and outuil those of every other nation, our own scarcely ex cepted. Astonishing is the progress the Americans made at once, without experience, in sciences which France and England have each paid a thousand millions to learn—the science of naval war; many arts go to fit out a complete ship of war; and who did not imagine, that America would betray tte awkwardness of a trader und a novice in these differera arts, and pay dearly in discomfiture and blood for the skill she was supposed to want? What was, then. the surprise of Europe, to find, that these fishermen and shop keepers, in the very first essay, grappled with the lords of the ocean on their own element, and took their place at once in the first rank of nations in the science of naval war ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING. We present to our sporting readers the latest state of betting ea the Chester Stand Cup, which has become of considerable import. ante to betting men, from the number of celebrated horses entered for it. The first favourite, Canteen, it will be remembered. rata second to Jerry for the Doncaster St. Leger, and afterwards won a sweepstakes and the gold cup at Richmond. General Mina srou several gold cups last season, besides plates, sweepstakes, &c. The Miller of Mansfield ran third for the St. Leger, but was upon the whole a winning horse last season. Brutandorf won at York. but was afterwards beaten at the August Meeting, and at Don. easter.

Mr. Dewing's hounds onFtidai, at Gately. Fox-Huirenta.—On Monday the 13th instant, the Lothom fix-hounds had one of the finest runs possible. They threw off at Dalmahoy, and soon unkennelled an immense strong fox, who, as if disdainful of danger, set his bead to the open country, Turning right up the wind, and leaving Karnes Hill, 3liddlerig„ and Ow riaston Hill au his right, made direct for Calder:wood, which ere he could come at he waspulled down. The hounds set rest a complete gallop presenting a most formidable front. In this style they N. ere viewed across the first field, but were then quite loot sight ot. From the pace at which they then went, it was impossible for the best blood ewer Yorkshire produced to live with them, for almost the shortest distance. For some time the melody of the pack served as a direction • but this too soon died away. On the liontsmaa getting forwar d to them, the peeled skull of Ileynard 4 ' Was the only sad vestige then that remained.' The length of the run was supposed to be reven miles- One of the hones dropped down immediately on coming Mercury. AI L a f twfighes hounds, on Saturday last, foand a hare in West Care, and took a direction tot Quiddenham Park; then bearing au the right, passed Hill Harling ; then crossed Oarboldishatn tangs, when trusting to her strength, and disdaining tricks, she I.:unaptly faced an open country, where she was followed by her staunch par. suers, in view, up to Mr. Thornhill's preserves at Riddlessottb. The run comprised illy minutes' hard running, without a acct.. CORN EXCHANGE, Dm 22. We had but few fresh arrivals of any grain this morning.
