THE RAILWAY BRIDGE AT BLACKFRIARS. — The works for the construction of the iron bridge at Blackfriars, on which the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway will be carried across the Thames, are very rapidly progressing. A great many of the massive piles have been already driven into the bed of the river, and, in order to pi event accidents which might arise in the course of the night from vessels running against the piles, a barge furnished with the neces sary lamps is moored in the stream in front of these ob structions. THE BIRKENHEAD RIOTS.—Some surprise hay. ing been expressed by those who are unacquainted with the facts, that M r . J o h n L a i r d , M . P ., t ow k no p ar t i n the pro ceedings connected w ith th e Bi r k en h ea d r iots, or in the sub sequent inquirie s , it is only justice to that gentleman to say that he h as j ust returned to England after an absence of several weeks on the continent. There are rumours, ac companied by circumstantial particulars, that seven or eight men were so seriously injured by the police in the recent riots that they have since died and been secretly buried ; but this report, in the absence of reliable evidence, mast be taken for what it is worth,--Liverpoo/ The opening meeting of the session 1.862.3 *as held last night at the rooms in Conduit-street, Hanover-square, and was numerously attended. An introductory address was delivered by Mr. Tite, M.P., the president of the institute. He began bystatng that the institute had never exhibited so satisfactory an appearance as at present, whether regard was had to its illtuence in seciety and in the scientific world, the --- i 'er.sasing 'Anther of its members, or the prosperous ate ;,e of its hinds. Then followed an eloquent allusion to the 'math of the Prince Consort, and as inseparably con nected with the name of his Royal Highness Mr. Tite next referred to the International Exhibition, stating that, al though as to the building itself it would be most becoming for architects to observe silence on the subject of its artistic qualities, yet they certainly might record their protest against its being in anywise considered as 3 representative of the architectural taste of our age. It was unfortunate, ho said, that a gentleman whose studies and pursuits had not been of a nature to develope the artistic faculties re quired for the successful cultivation of their profession, should have been selected to design and execute a structure necessarily intended to illustrate before the assembled na tions the actual state of art among Englishmen. The very merits of the construction were of a nature to indicate that its author had solely directed his attention to the scientific and technical details of the problem submitted to him, without being able to grasp its msthetical or mural signification. The goods were exhibited in a shed, tolerably lighted; the pictures and sculpture were also placed in rooms where they could be seen, speaking gene rally, in a very advantageous manner ; but there was an ab sence of artistic treatment in the plan of the building, while the general elevation and the ornamental details of the ex terior particularly were very objectionable. No architect couldihave designed a worklso unsatisfactory had he but studied the rudiments of his profession, and yet British architects were unhappily represented to assembled Europe by this eminently unarchitectural building. Pursuing his consideration of contemporary events, Mr. Tite called at tention to the embankment of the north side of the Thames, expressing the hope that this work might be carried to its conclusion in such a manner as to add to the monumental character of the metropolis. It was only a small instalment of what was required to be done to the Thames ; but time, he added, would compel the execution of the whole scheme. As to the various new bridges erected over the river, he would not discuss the methods of construction, though much might be said on the subject; but as an architect he could not refrain from expressing his regret that their designers had not studied more carefully the laws of optical effect, or the logical application of archaeological forms. The parallel vertical cylinders and the parallel horizontal girders of the Hungerford -bridge produced a combination of lines which must be declared to be very ugly. The street girder bridges were, if possible, worse. The style adopted in the New Westminster-bridge was a mistake into which a properly educated architect could not have fallen, and the great engineering merits of the work must render our regret for this artistic defect the more poignant; for on the whole, this bridge was one of the noblest monuments upon the Thames. The bridge leading to the Victoria station was as a work of art more consistent than the Westminster one, and it was infinitely more elegant than the Lambeth Suspension-bridge; the latter, indeed,was so unredeemably ugly that he was almost tempted to regret that there should not be a Committee of Taste to which the designs for public works should be submitted. In the com petition which had raged for some months past as to the designs for a new Blackfriars-bridge he could not say he saw much to admire in the result ; for, unfortunately, the very worst design of the whole had been chosen. Mr. Page's three-arched bridge was a grand idea, though defective in detail. The bridge about to be erected was in five seg mental arches of iron, with stone piers, and the architec tural features of those piers and other adornments were highly objectionable. Passing to street improvements, Mr. Tite said that the changes of this description recently made here had been of themselves sufficiently remarkable, while they furnished many valuable lessons to those who knew how to read signs of the times in the various phases of architecture. No doubt, a severe critic might find many reasons for objecting to details of the new and gorgeous piles of warehouses and offices lately erected in the great streets of the city ; but he contended that, considered com prehensively, those buildings displayed sound taste, keen perception of architectural beauty, fine feeling' for art allied to common sense, and a sufficient amount of origi nality to justify them in entertaining confident hopes for the future prospects of their profession. Possibly the supe rior character of the buildings lately erected in the city might be attributable to the fact that they had escaped, to some extent, the influence of fashion and of official pedantry; at any rate the contrast between the architecture of the new city streets, and that of the buildings erected under the influence of the Science and Art Department of our Govern ment was so marked, that the question of the necessity for the existence of the latter expensive organisation was al most forced upon our attention. Public opinion was a better guide, a surer fosterer of genius, than State patronage could ever be. Mr. Tite concluded his address, which was much applauded throughout, by referring to the losses which architecture had sustained during the last 12 months in the death of some of its most eminent professors, both here and on the continent. THE VOLUNTEERS. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER RIFLES (46TH MlDDLE slx.)—This corps held its first parade since the holidays on Saturday evening in Westminster Hall, when there was a very large muster, above 300 being present. After the companies had been formed, Lieut.-Col. Sir John Shelley minutely inspected the arms of each company,and expressed himself perfectly satisfied. The battalion was then formed in line, and put through the manual and platoon exercise by Lord Campbell, in a manner which elicited frequent ap plause from the spectators. The band, under the direction of Mr. Dean, played a selection of favourite airs. The re port of the Royal Commission has already had its good effects with this corps, a large number joining the different companies daily. LONDON SCOTTISH.—This corps met for the first time since the holidays on Saturday evening, in Westminster Hall, on which occasion there was setting-up drill, under the serjeant major. The attendance was very much larger than expected, which may be taken as an indication not only that the volunteer spirit in this corps is not flagging, but also that the members are anxious to pass the preli minary drills required to constitute an effective. This large muster may likewise be a good augury of the pro bable effect of the recommendations of the Royal commis sioners, by whom a reduction in the number of drills necessary to constitute an effective has been recom mended. Lord Elcho, Adjutant Captain Page, Captain M'Kenzie, and other officers of the regiment, were present, and expressed their gratification at the large attendance and steady drill. NORTH MIDDLESEX RIFLES.--The second annual prize meeting of this corps, occupied a considerable portion of the past week at the new rifle range of the regiment, at Child's-hill, Hampstead. The proceedings excited con siderable interest, and Lieutenant -Colonel Whitehead and other officers of the regiment were present. The company prizes were first competed for, viz., three guineas for first and two guineas for second, at 150, 200, and 300 yards, five rounds at each. No. 1 Company—First prize won by Colour-Sergeant Fraser with a score of 35 ; second prize, Corporal Harrison, 27. No. 2 Company—First prize, Sergeant Legge, 33 ; second prize, Private Kennedy, 30.

WEST Mums= KYLES, —The prizes recently shot On Saturday evening the London Artillery Brigade, under Major Walmsley ; the Tower Hamlets Engineers, under Captain C. H. Gregory ; and the 4th and 6th Tower Hamlets Rifles, under Lieut.-Col. Money, marched out for the first time this season. The route was from headquarters, Shaftesbury •street, Hoxton, the Post-office, thence by way of Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, Parliament-street, halting in Old Palace-yard, Westmin ster, where the men fell out, and, after an interval of a quarter of an hour, returned to headquarters, via Stam ford-street, and were dismissed. The force consisted of eight companies, forming a total of 450 men, accompanied by their respective bands. ILFRACOMBE.—On the 29th ult. the 4th Devon Rifle Volunteers were inspected byMajer Hume, assistant inspec tor of volunteers. The weather was extremely fine, and a large number of the neighbouring gentry and clergy, and the numerous visitors at this improving watering place, were present on the occasion. After having minutely ex amined the arms, accoutrements, and clothing of the corps, the inspector directed Capt. Vye to put the men through the manual and platoon exercise, the entire company drill, as required from volunteers, and the light infantry drill of a company skirmishing; he then called the officers to the front, and addressed the corps in the most flattering terms, congratulating them on the large muster, which showed a considerable increase on last year, on the smart and soldier like manner in which they had performed their duties, and the very able manner in which they were manoeuvred in company drill by their commandiug:9lficer. The light in fantry movements, however, wore untquito up to the mark; but with that single exception he should report most favour able of the corps to the War- office, feeling sure that by next year this deficiency would be remedied. The proceedings terminated with three hearty cheers for the inspector, the adjutant, and the captain commandant. The number of all ranks present at inspection was 61, which with those absent with leave is nearly the entire strength of the corps. .RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WEST FLANDERS. The half 7 yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the offices, Moorgate-street—M r . It. Till in the chair. Mr. M. CH.UBB, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has appeared in Ike Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said this was only the second occasion upon which he had to state that their onward progress had been interfered with, but he considered it an exceptional case. Belgium suffered as well as England from the want of cotton. Ghent being a manufacturing place for cotton goods, the depression there, in a very considerable degree pervaded over a large district and affected the traffic of the country to some extent. As far as they were concerned it did not affect them in the same degree. They were enabled to declare the same dividend as at the corresponding period of last year, without taking anything from the balance. The old grievance connected with th 3 guarantee had been further delayed in the law courts by a long vacation, but he hoped in the course of a few weeks their case would be heard and brought to a decision. There was some allusion in the report respecting new schemes for railways in Belgium, but it did not state whether they should be of service or not to their lines. He believed if they took away traffic, they would bring traffic in return, for it usually happened that connecting lines increased traffic. The proposed extension from Fumes to Dunkirk would open a direct communication with an important ship ping port in France, which he thought would benefit their lines. The proposed line from their branch at Poperinghe to Hazebrouck would also give them communication with France. Those undertakings might do them some mischief but he thought, on the whole, they would be compensated in other respects. The passenger traffic had shown a de crease in the receipts, although the number carried had in creased. This arose from having a falling off in the number of the first and second class passengers, and more than a corresponding increase in the third class, which indicated a want of means, but they had nothing to apprehend from that portion of their traffic. Mr. WILLIAMSON seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. _ _ Mr. HERAPA.TII said the question for them was whether the new lines were competing ones. He believed the best thing would be to keep on good terms with them if they could. He thought that the report was short and satisfac tory. _ _ . Some discussion ensued respecting the lawsuit with the Government. Mr. Goez suggested that the matter in dis pute should be submitted to arbitration, and not continued for years in the law courts of Belgium. Mr. RICHARDS, a director, said he did not think the Belgium Minister was to blame in the matter. There were two clauses in the concession respecting the mode of ascer taining the working expenses of the new lines, about which there was a dispute ; the G overnment au th or ities read the clause one way and the company the other. It was not competent, therefore, f or th e Minister to pa y the demand until the Courts decid e d th e question. T he ex p e nses in the Belgian law courts we re very much less than i n the English law courts, and he beli eve d they could not as k for arbitra tion. He considered th a t t h eir claim was per f e ctly just. The CHAIRMAN said they had the best legal advice they could get, and the Government would not submit the matter to arbitration. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, agreeing to the dividend of 4s. per share for the past half-year, and re electing Mr. Till and Capt, Greig the retiring directors. A vote of thanks to the chairman, directors, and secretary concluded the proceedings. HEALTH OP THE NAVY.

The mortality from disease was 11.8 per 1,000 ; from w ounds, injuries , acc ident, and drowning, 4.9 per 1,000. O n l y 93 deaths were from wounds received in action ; a larger num ber, . _ lO4, were drowned ; but the army of disea ses carrie d off 624. Of the invaliding also, amounting to 37•7 per 1,000 • in all, 30.5 per 1,000 were for disease, and only 7.2 f or - wounds, injuries, and hernia. On the East India and China Peiho forts,the mortality station, o with the attack on the from wounds,injuries, and drown ing was only 17.5 per 1,000 on; for ce, . and from disease 31'2 per 1,000 ; and of the invali ding , m 4os were for disease, and only 150 for woundsanindalimisss2 them for gun-shot wounds re ce i ve d i n „tie.,:.ur T ie h s e ; m ll o 4 rta o - f lity on the home station was as high in 1859 as 9.7 per 1,000, and the loss by inefficiency through sickness averaged 50 . 2 per 1,000. Of the foreign stations the East India and China is the most unhealthy for Europeans ; upon an aver age 94'6 per 1,000 were constantly inefficient, and the mor tality from disease was 31'2 per 1,000 ; even excluding the deaths from malignant cholera, which occurred only among men who exposed to the specific infecting poison in places where it existed, the mortality was 29.2 per I,ooo—a mor tality chiefly due to the southern division of the Chinese territory. The African coast ranks next in unhealthiness; 631 men per 1000 were always inefficient through sickness, 131 (82'4 per 1,000) were invalided, and the loss by death from disease amounted to 84 men, or in the ratio of 52.8 per 1,000. But this unusual and enormous mortality is be yond the normal death-rate from all ordinary and climatorial diseases common to the whole line of coast; three-fourths of the deaths occurred in two ships from yellow fever, and, deducting these deaths with the view of showing the influ ence of the climate upon European life, the ratio of mor tality from disease is reduced to 12 . 6, which, nevertheless, exceeds the death-rate from all ordinary and climatorial disease on every other station with the exception of the India and China station. On the Brazilian station the deaths were but 10 per 1,000, and on the Pacific 9.8, and excluding the deaths from yellow fever contracted by communicating with the infected ports of Rio de Janeiro and Panama, the ratios are reduced to 4 and 8 per 1,000 ; the climate in both these regions is still as healthy as it was before yellow fever and cholera were introduced into them. There is no place in the world where Europeans are more exempt from the ordinary constitutional and climatic diseases than on the coast of Brazil. Yellow fever is infectious, not indigenous; and with reference to its origin, the axiom " places, not persons," has been, by experience, reversed to " persons, not places." The West India climate, provided common prudence be observed, is by no means so unhealthy as gene rally supposed ; the mortality in 1859 was on a par with that of the home station. Unfortunately there can be no ac count of the health of the navy without some reference to the loss of service through disease caused by immorality; in the year 1859 it made inefficient above 10 per 1,000 of the entire force at home and abroad, constantly, upon an average depriving the country of the services of 542 men, or remov ing from the effective strength of the navy the entire crew of a 50-gun frigate. To mention a single instance—in the James Watt, in the course of eight month s , 121 eases were placed on the sick list, nearly all from disease contracted at Plymouth ,and Devonport. Portsmouth and Plymouth 711 E LIV.ERPOoL COTTON MARKET; The sales of cotton for the week, made up on Thursday, amount to 12,470 bales, of which speculators have taken 2,060, exporters 2,610, and spinners 7,800 bales. The same cause to which these small figures are traceable, the disin clination of spinners to purchase, has produced a marked decline in prices, the greatest being in American, the small stock of which, it might be thought, would have made it the least susceptible of all cotton. The decline in Ameri can is about 3d., though in some instances, to effect sales, 4d. per lb. has been taken. East India is ld. to ltd., Egyptian 2d. to 3d., and Brazil lid. lower. There is a further cause for depression in East India cotton than that arising from the inactivity of the trade, in the numerous claims that are continually being made for deprecia tion of quality. Cotton which has probably been sold half-a-dozen times while on its passage from Bombay, is in many cases found on landing to be of an inferior de scription to that under which it was sold, and sometimes of a totally different class. Against the irregularities of the former provision is made in the contract at time of sale that they shall be settled by arbitration, and some brokers have latterly been exceedingly busy settling cases of this kind, and in some few instances an abatement of as much as 2d. to 3d. per pound has been made to the buyer ; as a very ex ceptional case, we even hear of as much as Bd. per pound being allowed, the original sale to arrive being only 71d. per pound. In small fractional allowances the consignee of the cotton has at once paid them, but when it comes to figures of 21. to 3d. the question naturally arises as to how the allowance is to be apportioned, for it may be made upon a price of 15d. to 16d., while the original importer may not have obtained more than half that sum. At pre sent there is more than the usual difference in price be tween fair and the next class below it, so that when an allowance is made for cotton sold as fair there is a still further loss to the importer from this wide margin. There is another question, however, that tends to depress the value of cotton, and that is an expectation that, should the Con gress and State elections now taking place in the Northern States of America be in favour of the Democratic party, a pacific solution to the present difficulties may be found, even should it be by a separation of North and South. Any impression of this character naturally has a depressing effect upon cotton, in consequence of the quantity that would be immediately available for the world's necessities, amount ing, according to an official report from our Consul at Charleston to Earl Russell, to about 4,000,000 bales, which in figures agrees with the general opinion of those most qualified to form a judgment upon the matter. The different descriptions of India cotton shipped to England from the port of Bombay are all classed under the head of Surats, from the fact that Surat was the first port whence cotton was sent to this country from Western India, and must then have been what is now specially termed Broach cot ton. It is from this Surat seed that cotton in the other districts of Western India has been produced. The Gulf of Cambay, on the shores and tributaries of which is pro duced the largest quantity of cotton, lies between lat. 201 deg. and 22k deg. N., the Dhollerah being the production of the West Coast, and Broach of the East, and these are the two kinds of cotton earliest known by our present merchants. Oomrawuttee lies to the N.E. of Bombay, not quite half way across the peninsula, in lat. 21 deg. ; while the Comp tah district is on the Malabar coast, between 11 deg. and 15 deg. south latitude, and Dharwar, where the best elms of India cotton is produced from New Orleans seed, is inland to the north-east of the latter, on the other side of the Coast Mountains, in latitude 16 deg. S c i n d e co tt on c omes _ _ from a more northerly district than even the Gulf of Cam bay, and is the least valuable of all. Tinnevelly, the produce from which formerly found its way to us from Bombay, is now shipped direct from the port of Tutocorin. This district is at the extreme south of the Indian peninsula, between latitudes 8 deg. and 10 deg. N. Tinnevelly cotton, it will be seen, ranks next to sawginned Dharwar, as shown by yesterday's quotations. Prices of "fair" Indian cotton in Liverpool, October 31, 1862 :—Sawginned Dharwar, 181 d. , Tinnevelly, 161 d. ; Broach, 160. ; Oomrawuttee, 150. ; Comptah, 151 d. ; Dhollerah, 15id. ; Bengal and Scinde, 124 d. per lb. The extremely depressed state of the market yesterday induced more buying, and 4,000 bales were sold half on speculation and for export. To-day a decided im provement has taken place, and 7,000 bales sold, including 4,000 to speculators and exporters, with much less offering, and an irregular and considerable advance, middling Orleans being scarce at 24d.,while on,Thursday and yester day 22d., or even less, was taken in some instances.— Liverpool Albiom. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. (From Le lollet.) Although we may appear guilty of repetition in men tioning the materials now in vogue, truth compels us again to say that foulard is one of the most in favour ; and, in deed, it is not surprising, seeing to what perfection it is brought. The shades in which it is made are beautiful — fawn drab; terre d'Egypte (a kind of reddish brown) with black stripes ; drove drab with white stripes, &o. For evening dresses there is a great variety : white ground, with rose, blue, green or Pompadour flowers. A plain white foulard, also, is suitable for an evening demi-toilette. It is made in self-colours—light coffee-colour, bright gold, maize, wheat-straw, amaranth, &c. For Peignors, it is very use ful, and can be wadded and trimmed with wide bank of plush. Some very rich and charming materials for winter wear may now be seen. Velvets of lovely shades—terra d'Egypte, Napoleon blue, fleur de roseau; silk, with velvet bouquets upon it; moire antique, with small velvet dots over it—one of the most beautiful things that has been seen for some time. For negligee costume, taffetas with very small checks, in all shades ; alpacas of light colours, chine or plaid ; but, above all, those with a white ground and small checks, or embroidered in wool or silk. Woollen materials also do not fail in variety. The new cassimeres for ladies' dresses are both light and warm, and are made up very prettily, either braided or trimmed with fancy braids. These ornaments are placed above the hem. The front of the dress is generally flat, and cut with a point; and in this case the trimming is placed in kandebourgs upon the body and skirt. Some of these dresses have a small pele - rine of the cassimere, just reaching down to the middle of the back ; others are trimmed with an embroidery imitating the shape of a Figaro veste. Speaking of woollen stuffs, we must not forgot to men tion the velvet La Valliere, dotted over the dashes or stars, mingling gracefully on a black or brown ground ; the wool len terry ; the valencias, which have reappeared; the pop lins, which will have equal success this season. A propos of poplin, we would remark that it is peculiarly adapted for demi-toilette ; above all, when it is in the snuffbrown shade, and others derived from that whether lighter or darker. Then there are the drabs, not less rich or numerous, from the steel to the silver ; and the pink and lilac shot, a charm ing shade in poplin, and nearly as recherche as the blue shade of violet, which will be one of the favourite colours this winter. Cachemire is worn for morning dress. It re commends itself by the graceful folds into which it falls. The Louis XV. make, with large plaits at the back, is nearly the only one admissible for this material. In this style some plush dresses are made, and also some of flannel. This season buttons form one of the most important parts of trimming. Hanging buttons are even put upon wedding dresses. Lace is much used upon mantles, casaques, or dresses of velvet. One new kind of lace is very elegant-- the ground is spotted, and the border is festoons formed of leaves. Embroidery in satin stitch or braid is far from being abandoned. It is used upon plain dresses, and always forms a distingue ornament. Ribbons, with bouquets of embroi dered flowers, are admirable for dress trimmings, especially for foulards. These dresses may also be trimmed with a light passementerie, or with narrow quillings. Thus, a dress of Napoleon blue foulard, with a pattern of the same colour —the narrow flounce at the bottom of the skirt, and a rou lean of white taffetas upon it ; the sleeves down the front of the body and the long sash ruched round with narrow white taffetas frills. Another foulard dress of green flowers on a white ground may be very prettily and suitably made up for the toiletto of a young lady, by t r i mm i ng th e b o dy with a green and white passementerie, with hanging buttons; and the bot tom of the skirt, with biais of green taff etas , edged with white. o remarked Among the various styles of trimming we ha e v was upon n some which had a very pretty appearance. One dress of poppy-coloured taffetas —five rows about six-eighths of an inch wide. Aboveof the others. The tows were two more of twice the width aoOnfutibbielok:etil:,:e and the width, ehene upper one was headed by a biais of twisted taffetas, lower one formed the heading to aebdiadisefeobuervvmocdhveessisn, forming aflounce. Also, upon a ,tu P inch wide, put on in the was a velvet rather more thvitiis g recque headed a pinked form of a long grenque• flounce of black taffetas. T h e bottom of another dress of , i n battlements, and edged with black taffetas was pinked o ver a very wide hem of vi o l e t velvet. This pi nking hung taffetas on the biais. employed i s a style of ornament very much adopted Fancy stitching and just now, both for mantles dresses, and is very successfully on in-door dresses. It is geen on cloth mantled, but it is far more suitable for silks or satin, it looks exceedingly well in the new little satin pelerine, a kind of large collar with four points, one at the middle of the back, one on each shoulder, and one in front; and at each point a tassel. The prettiest are made in violet or aniline blue. For the dull month of November some of our more economical readers may be glad to have a little advice as to how to freshen up a dress of which they may have got tired, or which may be beginning to loose its beauty. Those which arc soiled or worn at the bottom, may be made up so as to look very well, at small expense, and with little trouble. Thus, for a dress of fancy material, a band of black alpaca between five and six inches in width, will suffice to renew it. This band should be waved at the top, and piped with a thick blue or red piping. The sleeves must have a similar revers, and a little Swiss body, trimmed also with a piping, will complete the costume. For taffetas dresses, the band should be of the same material, but black. and finished off at the top in the same manner; or, if a more simple arrangement is preferred, it may be headed by two or three rows of narrow ribbon plaited in the middle. A band might be replaced by two flounces of pinked black taffetas ; these will have a better effect if placed a little dis tance from one another, and made with a heading. If it should happen that a skirt of taffetas requires widening, and all thought of matching the dress has been given up, the only resource left is to insert plain bands. If the dress be of a deep shade, we would advise that the bands be made of black taffetas, not quite eight inches wide, and put in between each breadth; in thi s st y l e , t he skirt will have no trimming at the bottom, unless it be a band of black taffetas in wide scollops or festoons, one scollop reaching just across the breadth of the taffetas, from one black band to the next ; this should be headed by a narrow ruche of ribbon, and a similar niche placed up each side of every black band up the skirt. In setting this dress on to the skirt, care should be taken so to arrange the plaits that the black bands may be folded under so as not to show at the waist. A Swiss sash should be added as a finish to the body, and plain turned-back cuffs. If the dress be a light coloured, plain taffetas, the best arrangement will be to make the bands of the same alovr, but a duper and the the little niche should be composed of narrow guipure instead of ribbon. The bodies of dresses are made high and buttoned. By degrees we are returning to basques. The postilion basque is much approved of, above all for ladies with small waists. A style which is likely to meet with success is that of bodies made with a small basque all round, one inch and five-eighths wide, terminated in the front by a double point. Sashes are much worn. 711 E NAVY. Her Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden arrived in Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning in the Elfin Royal paddle yacht, Master-Com mander Balliston, and landing at the dockyard, visited, accompanied by Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, the Resistance, 16, iron-cased frigate, Capt. Chamberlain, lying alongside the dockyard, the Royal Sovereign shield ship, converting in dock, the screw steamship Himalaya, in No. 19 dock, and other objects of interest in the yard. His Royal Highness afterwards left in the Port-Admiral's carriage for the railway station, and proceeded by ordinary train to London. The St. George, 86, screw, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, sailed from Spithead for Lisbon on Sun day, immediately on his Royal Highness Prince Alfred rejoining her from Osborne. Among other names of officers mentioned as likely to succeed Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce and Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, as Port-Admiral and Admiral Superintendent at Portsmouth, are those of Vice-Admiral Sir Wm. F.Martin, K.C.8., the present Commander-in-Chief in the Mediter ranean, and Rear-Admiral George Elliot. The Pembroke, 60, screw steamship, 1,758 tons, 200-horse power, Captain Thomas Fisher, Coast guard divisional ship at Harwich, which has been refitted at Sheerness, left that port for Harwich yesterday morning to resume her duties. The Rosario, 11 Iscrew steam sloop, 573 tons, 155-horse-power, Commander James S. Graham, ha'ing made good the injury sustained by run ning foul of the Pembroke in Sheerness harbour during the late gales, was yesterday inspected by Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, Commander in-Chief at Sheerness and Staff, and left the harbour for Portsmouth and the West Indies, to which sta tion she is appointed. The African, steamtug, Master R.

A very influential county meeting was held at Exeter on Friday, to express sympathy with, and offer aid to, the distressed operatives in the north. The Higlieheriff presided. Tile Duke of Somerset, Sir L. Palk, M.P., Mr. Kekewich, M.P. Hon. C. R. Trefusis, Sir H. F. Davie, M.P., Sir M. Lopes, M.P., and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. Above L6013 - was subscribed in the room, and acorn mittee was appointed to assist the High Sheriff in obtaining subscriptions throughout the county. The Duke of SOMERSET, in the course of his speech, said he believed they had reason to hope that India would to some extent supply that quan tity of cotton which the English could not now re ceive from America. This of course would take time, although they might hope that next year they would have a larger supply than a few months ago was expected. Yet it would take considerable time to restore the vigour which the cotton manufacture had lost, and during that time there would of course be great suffering. They heard of a thou sand substitutes for cotton, but for his own part he did not think it was for persons who were n©t manufacturers to give advice to the manufacturers themselves on that head. Of course the manufactu rers were awake to this, and if there were any sub stitutes for cotton, they were the people most likely to find them. Let us hope that the disaster would come to a speedy end, and after at least one winter they might see the war concluded. He could only say that which every Englishman felt, that they should be delighted to see the war brought to a conclusion, that war which was most sanguinary and which had been conducted in the most savage manner in the destruction of life and property. An offer of mediation might be received only with re sentment, and the time and opportunity must there fore be carefully watched. The Government of this country, as well asevery other Christian Government in Europe, would be too glad if they could see the means of assisting to put an end to the strife. But they made an allowance for the belligerents. He saw in the papers that there were violent articles written against each party. But tijaen they took the matter as it stood, they would see that the quarrel having been commenced, there were great difficulties in it, and that there were also great diffi culties in bringing about peace ; for if they expected to put aside that strife they could not do as some people talked of. In some of the papers of America they read a great deal of subjugation; but subju gation did not belong to a land of freemen. They read a great deal about extermination ; but exter mination did not belong to a land of Christians. (Applause.) As to what would bring about an end to that war there wer e many opinions ;but let them hope that it soon would come to an end. The only means to accomplish that, as far as he could see, was by mutual concession ; but then came the great diffi culty, where should be the boundaries, and what the frontiers, of the respective Powers. That was a question full of difficulty, therefore we mast make an allowance for the position in which the Ameri cans were placed, and not wish to say one word which might tend to excite ill-feeling either in the Northern or in the Southern States, for we knew what excitable people the Americans were. All he could say was, that he should be most happy, and. he believed every Englishman would, to see that war settled without sacrificing the honour of either party. The great amount of sympathy that was shown throughout this country towards the dis tressed operatives of Lancashire, if it did no more, certainly would show other countries that we are a united people, and that we are bound together by loyalty to our Sovereign and by mutual affections. (Applause.) We could now address ourselves to the Americans and say, "We are now at peace, and have have different h n a o d i views; ui e er a wd o si f f a; quarrellingc b u u l t tdifficul t ies ;differentt h amongst the mom e n t m oment classe s ourselves.ofh s uffer i nga ve W taken a l e l a s a t sd ." suff ever ern (Applause.) gt.n.....esmse da T ni h nc a hE t e w sntg a e r, s party aonly el nifeeling n e g v s er c cease a s tt hh e eart to e h e e x wh i the la n Guardian. TUE LA7E GALES. SUPPOSED LOSS OF A SCREW STEAMER. SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIONT. Within the past three days several missing ves sels which were out in the late gales have cast UP, amongst which may be mentioned the Clarendon, and the Fransisca Marie, the latter an Austrian barque, which every person here thought was lost, having been abandoned by the steamboat that was towing her from Scotland. She was a light ship, and blew over with her lee rail in the water. During in wereth the darkness her b n r i n o a e d s h i d o u e s e x t p h o e s e mast erpart oafn the c t r i e m w e the fearful gale of tomor rowpo f a ni night,foarrtrn arr i ved g o e hd t t h . the f Theun t r h y e o T f Italiany Tyne e last brig night Nueva , havingl isa, T roan board the crew of the Fergus, of Newburgh. The Fergus,whi c h was bound from Hamburg to Sh i e ld s , in ballast, w as during the late gale struck in mid ships by a heavy sea, thrown on her beam ends, and I completely disabled. The crew, after clinging to the wreck for three days, were rescued from their perilous position by the captain and crew of the Nuova, at great risk to themselves. The crew were rescued on the 22d ult. in lat. 55 51 N, long. 5 30 W. The intelligence has reached this town to-day that the Margaret Knight, belonging to Blyth, has been lost, and that all her crew were drowned but two. On the morning of the day—viz., Oct. 20— , followed by the fearful gale which broke upon the I North Sea, the Addison Potter, a large now screw collier of 800 tons burden, sailed from the Tyne for Hamburg, coal laden. She had a crew of 17 hands on board, and was considered to be a fine vessel. Since the day of her departure from the Tyne (now a fortnight) not a word has been heard of her, and there is every reason to fear that she foundered in the terrible gale which burst over our coast the night after she sailed, and that every soul on hoard of her perished. Another iron screw steamer, which ran upon Souter Point, within three milee of the Tyne, this week, is likely to become a total wreck. She was the Port Mu l g rave, with iron ore from Cleveland, for the TyLe. There are four laden collier brigs missing, which sailed from the Tyne before the gale, and there is too much reason to fear that they have foundered and drowned their crews. Every day that passes makes the prospect of their safety more hopeless. 711 E ARMY. The following general regimental Gen. Royal by Col. C.
