DECAY OF THE OTTOMAN POPULA TION.—A MORAL LESQON.—Some time since an article in the Times, on the decay of the Mussulman popu lation in Asia Minor, attracted much attention, both amongst Politicians and physiologists. Referring Portentous fact, the write r did n ot hesitate to ascribe it influence, mainly to one peculiar an d vitiatingto the visible an d which is more destructive of happiness, health, and life than any other in dividual cause that could be named. The truth and soundness of the writer's views were ad mitted. It would be most salutary if we could gather from his reasonings and demonstrations instruction applicable to our own social condition. Is it not a fact that, in innumerable instances, matrimonial disappointment and misery, unwilling celibacy, physical and mental anguish, the existence of which is known only to the sufferer himself, have their source in causes the germ of which is often planted in early life, and the bitter fruit tasted long afterwards. Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., &c., is the only qualified practitioner on the Medical Register, and has been engaged for 20 years in the treatment of these unhappy case s, which, through the disappointment of just expectations,seriously compromise family objects and prospects, and prevent the accomplish ment of designs on which important interests depend.

By the terms of the Metropolitan Local Manage ment Act, once in every year the Metropolitan Board have to present to Parliament a report of their proceedings. For the first two or three years of their existence the board, if they acted strictly in accordance with the truth, would have recorded nothing but bickerings, tedious debates, and wearisome speeches without meaning; now, however, the case is very different. They can and do report works of great magnitude not only determined on, but in some cases actually completed. We will not here advert to the difference of opinion that still exists on the subject of the gigantic system of the proposed main drain age, as to whether it is or is not the best plan that could be adopted, but will simply refer to what has been accomplished. It is but common justice to the engineer and contractor generally to state that the work seems to be admirably done, especially the work for the high-level sewer, which is being rapidly finished. Some of the works are stupendous, and have been constructed of great strength, and in the face of no ordinary difficulties. The structure of the northern outfall is a work of which any en gineer or board may justly be proud. It is intended in divert the water descending from the high lands of Highgate, .Hampstead, and the Fleet ditch or river, and has abolished that greatest of pests, the notorious Hackney brook. The difficulties in an engineering point of view were very great, especially when the sewer had to be carried through the marsh lands of Bow and Plaistow. The subsoil was found to be of peat, saturated with water, so that an artificial foundation of concrete had to be made before the sewer could be constructed. This portion of the work has been universally praised by all the engineers who have inspected it. The middle level sewer is also a great undertaking. It will be more than 12 miles in length, and more than half of the distance will have to be tunnelled. The sewer will he constructed at depths varying from 10 to 60 feet. The low level sewer, which would have been the most difficult work of all. from the nature of the subsoil through which it would have had to pass, is for.the present in abeyance, and will not be corn menced until the new Thames embankment is being LULItIV, W Hell lb 11 111 r 'ALLA .41 t neou sly. On the southern side of the Thames the works have made great progress. But the engi neer has had much to contend with. The subsoil at Deptford has turned out to be little better than a running sand filled with an unprecedented volume of water. To meet this unlooked-for difficulty it was frond necessary to construct 132 feet of double sewer of seven feet of internal diameter. The engineer of the board is sanguine in the belief that he has conquered this natural obstruction to his work ; but we cannot forget that the unfor tunate ` Victoria sewer was constructed under similar circumstances, and that it has cost an enormous sum in keeping in repair, and will, as long as it is there, be a heavy burden on the ratepayers. It is to be hoped that this portion of Mr. Bazalgette's scheme will not turn out equally unfortunate. The contracts in hand amount to very nearly two mil lions of money, which is only a portion of the large sum that will eventually be required. The report further calls attention to the fact that at length the Legislature has provided means for forming the Thames embankment. and there is every reason to anticipate that by this time next year the works will be in course of construction. But almost all must agree with the Metropolitan Board that, unless the mud banks of the Thames are removed or covered over, it is hopeless to expect that the river will be purified or that the effluvia which arises from it, and which are such exciting causes of disease and sickness, will be obviated. The board are of course adverse to the pro posed constitution of the committee to whom this heavy work is to be entrusted, but the public generally will be of opinion that it would not do to give the absolute control of such a national under taking to a body who would practically be irrespon sible. The board refer with great satisfaction to the formation of the new street from Covent-garden to St. Martin's-lane, and especially to the subway under the road, by which all the gas, water-pipes, and sewers pass, and which can be repaired without its being necessary to break up the roadway. If the board had done nothing else they would have de served great commendation for having brought to a successful termination this experiment. The same system is proposed to be adopted in the new street now in course of construction between Southwark and Westminster; and we trust that in every possible manner the board will extend this very simple and effective plan. The cost at first is large, but it is soon more than repaid by the great saving from not having the roads broken up again and again when a water pipe bursts, a gas-main leaks, or a sewer becomes ob structed. We cannot compliment the board on the ra pidity with which they have carried on the forma tion of the latter thoroughfare. They have had the money in hand now for some years, and it is idle to attempt to account for the delay by stating that difficulties have arisen in obtaining p ossess i on o f th e houses and la n d, an d i n awardi ng ' R rh a e ilw w a o y rks co o l f np t a h n e y, L w on h d ic o h n, fo C r ha so th m a e m compensation. , di a s n ta d nc li e o r N u 'e n r parallel with the new street, show 'what may be done by men of energy and determination.

POISSY, APRIL 17. If the Norman, Charolais, and other breeds of French cattle already noticed produce admirable crosses with our shorthorns, the same can hardly be said of the remaining breeds, which are so many different varieties of one original type. We have the Parthenais, Choletais, and Nantais cattle, from the Western Departments of Vendee and Loire lu ferieure, of a brownish fawn colour, with brindled black among it, black bushy tails, black noses, black round the eyes, and black tips to their upturned horns. They display tolerably level backs, but little flesh on their ribs, though the mild expression of face betokens docility that should imply feeding propensity. The smaller Maraichin, or Marchais, from the low district of the Charentes, is of a red dish fawn colour, with a curly coat ; some of those shown are well shaped, and possess a soft touch like the Scots. The Femeline, a native of Franche Comte, the cheese;making breed of the Jura, is not represented at the show, neither is the Bressan, to which it is closely allied , Of the races of the South Garonnais, and BeirMais, th e considerably Id/gee - Masses: t t h w e o G l a a t s t c e o r n , a l i p g e e a n ro i n , The Garonnais are large, of a fawny cream colour, with plain big heads, heavy down-turned horns, and hanging dewlaps. In general they are raw and bony, with huge limbs and flat sides; but a few moderately deep framed weighty beasts and a moderately good cow redeem the coarse character of the whole. The Bazadais have black brindled faces, legs, and tails, but are badly formed; and a cross with the Garonnais does not give a better sort, on - the principle of two, negatives making an affir mative. Several Garonnais crosses are exhibited. With the Gascon it gives a plain bony animal ; w i t h the Limousin, in one specimen shown, an immense frame, but gaunt form, the beast standing sft. 1 lin. high at the loin, but only sft. 7in. at the shoulder, and exceeding 9ft. in length, head to tail. The steer, crossed with shorthorn, however, of a red roan colour, with a black nose, and the native formed tint appearing about the head, is a nice animal, well fed, and carrying weighty rounds of beef. The Pyrean breeds are not shown. There are some good specimens of the " Manceau," from the department of Maine-et-Loire ; some are roan coloured, others white with bluish .black patches ; the character of head and shape of carcass resemble that of a coarse shorthorn. Some are nicely fed ; but the shoulders stand out unduly. Crossed with shorthorn, we have very excellent beasts, deep in frame, with capi tal backs, and handling extremely well. The calves exhibited are all Cotentin, from Normandy, several of great growth and well forward in flesh for their age. If we have had to express surprise at the great progress made by French breeders and graziers with their native cattle, and within the four or five past years, our gratification has been still greater at the grand show of French pure shorthorns. Up wards of 20 years ago many of our finest English shotthorns were bought for the French Government; the Emperor has of late purchased largely for the Imperial farms ; private breeders have obtained many from Colonel Towneley, Mr. Jonas Webb, &c. ; last year M. Sainte-Marie, Inspector-General under the Minister of Agriculture, bought one of Captain Gunter's Duchess bulls and also the yearling prize bull at Leeds. And M. Trehennais, who publishes for the information of foreign agriculturists the quarterly Revue A gricole (1' .4 nyleterre, has for the last 10 years introduced into France more than 800 head of pedigree shorthorns, at prices from 200 guineas on behalf of private breeders to 400 and 800 guineas for the Government herds. M. Sainte- Marie edits a gtench _Shorthorn herd Book, the • Isin2; animals, ent clirsds•l4 1A n bro.a.vo• Upwards of 15 breeders contribute shorthorns to the Poissy Show. The first prize steer, descended from Mr. Stratton's "Moss Rose" tribe, is a remarkably fino animal ; the second prize steer, evenly fed, and heavy fleshed ; and the third prize steer, 35 months old, exceeds in girth the British first prize and commended steers ; both of the same age. Some splendid backs, chines, and rounds are exhibited, and so beautiful is the character of the best, and this attained in such a few years, that our British breeders will look forward with serious inte rest to future international competitions. Only one pure Hereford is exhibited, by a French breeder ; but it is a very good one, quite in Baker-street style. Of Ayrshires, though used in some districts, only one appears ; and but one Angus cow. One of the curiosities of the showyard is the collection of Algerian cattle ; small grizzled-gray animals of the size of Bretons, which were taken out of a wild African herd last October, and were shipped four days prior to the Show. They evidently respond readily to generous treatment, and will yisld meat of good quality. British cattle appears in 67 entries, of which 13 are shorthorns. Had it been a show of breeding stock, of course the male animals:would haw formed grand classes ; but, unfortunately, we lave here but one steer and one ox, though these are certainly of sufficient merit as to symmetry, breed, and early ripeness of flesh, to be ranked ahead o! the best shown by French agriculturists. Mr. Elolland's steer is not grand enough to deserve a frst prize, and therefore receives the second. AIL Crisp's noble ox has been " disqualified" owing to a mis understanding of the:published conditions,no blame, however, attaching either to this noted bleeder nor to the managers of the Show. This animal was Earl Spencer's first prize ox at Baker-street, since purchased by Mr. Crisp. The shorthorn heifers and cows make very fine classes ; and this is an impor tant feature of the exhibition, purposely designed to remove the prejudice of Frenchmen against female fat cattle by showing what splendid meat is thus produced in England. Captain Ball's first prize heifer well deserves her position ; and Mr. Tennant's second prize heifer is but little inferior. Whether or not Mr. Richard Strattan's beautiful heifer should have been third, instead of being com plimented with an " honourable Mention," may be open to difference of opinion ; but th e thi r d pr i ze heifer of Mr. Pain is heavier, riper, a n d o f fi rmer touch, though six months younger. Th ese an i mals are fine examples of early maturity at 29 to 35 months' ago, such as the French graziers have not r d mention,'' by n t Mr si n otr I e n s yet succeeded in equalling.

The V a ofFast-vo a ...fir prize Mr. related to Colonel Towneley's wonderful Butterflies, carried off the honours at the Irish show, is certainly very fine, and Mr. Crisp's cow well merits her honourable mention." Mr. Heath must have a cabinet full of medals ; for to all his years of triumph at home he now adds conquest by'coup de main abroad. His very hand some Devon steer and ox, and his Hereford steer and ox, all take first prizes. Only six Devons are shown. In the cow class, while Mr. Hambro's first prize is well won , it h a s been co n t ended that M r. Cecil Smyth' s secon d prize, and Mr. Pope's third ought to chan ge p l aces . Mr. P ope ' s b eautifu l cow is fatter, bett er on th e back, but i s nearly 10 years o ld; the other at 6 yea rs old, is much heavier, and with better thighs and forequarter. The five male Herefords are good specimens. The heifers are not specially praiseworthy.

Mr. 12'Combie, of Tillypons, Aberdeenshire , has the honour of carrying home th e 100 guinea cup offered by his late Royal Highnes s th e krinto Consort for the best ox or steer in the exhibition. rny , win ner is the same superb (ix that discomfited the: shorthorn and Hereford breeders at Birming ham and Baker-street this last Christmas. The breadth of the back, the amazing depth and thl4- ness of carcass, the deep stratum of primest beef on loin, back, and ribs, and over the very 6hotidet blade, are no less surprising than the fine quality of nead and bone, and evident robustness of constitution which distinguished this best of Soots ever seen. But it must not be inferred from such a rare individual gift of nature that our shorthorns and Herefords are losing their place ; it may be many years before we look upon an equal specimen from beyond the Tweed. It does not appear that polled Scots or West Highland cattle have been much tried in France; but this great success will doubtless lead to experimental importation and crossings. Mr. Owen Wallis takes a first prize for his West High land ox, a splendid animal, with that rare fore quarter and constitution for which the breed is dis tin guishtd. Unquestionably those of our British breeders who have weetttUredoiree the . Chan,nel to . lhe lists at Poissy have been astonished at the advanced con dition of their own art among foreigners; but they see that the pre-eminence still rests with them selves. English cattle, particularly our shorthorns, possess the blood which is indispensable for trans forming the strong native breeds of France, for straightening their spines, arching out their ribs, squaring the setting-on of the tail, fining the head and horn, lessening the bony limbs, excising the ponderous hoofs, and infusing a disposition to accu mulate nice-grained meat under a kindly coat. But it is most important that others beside the few breeders who travel to the Continent should see what the French pure breeds are, what is the pro duce from each respective cross with English, and judge for themselves what description of animal is best adapted for carrying on the work of improve ment. Hence it is to be earnestly hoped that the specimens at Battersea in June may be not merely of the better breeds and crosses of France, but of the still unimproved races noticed in this report.. Yesterday, the only day of public free exhibition, attracted very large number of agriculturists by special trains to Poissy; ladies, a few Paris sight seers, and many workpeople and humble culti vators of the district mingling with the throng about the prize animals, observing the military and musical parade that escorted M. Rouher, the Minister of Agriculture, to the show, and attending the ceremony of presentation of the honours to the successful competitors. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria, dated April 10, says : —The only intelligence we have received of the movements of the Prince of Wales since his depar ture hence on the 28th ult., was brought by the Osborne, which, as was previously arranged, re turned to Alexandria in the beginning of last week, after an absence of only five days. The weather on the passage to Jaffa was perfection, and the voyage prosperous and smooth to a degree remarkable even in these highly favoured latitudes. The Prince landed privately on the afternoon of his arrival, and enjoyed a walk in the orange groves for which Jaffa is celebrated throughout the Levant. The trees are at this season laden with fruit and blossom, the rich profusion of which may be judged of by the fact that at night the air is heavy with the perfume, even out at sea at a distance from the land. His Royal Highness also visited the house identitied by tradition as that to which " the Centurion of the Itai'lraii band" snit his Dorval, to in *earl.* of-Peter, who lodged at "with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside." In the evening the commanders of her Majesty's ships:in attendance on the Royal yacht and the Consul of the port dined with his Royal Highness. The next morning, being Sunday, Divine service was performed on board by the Rev. Professor Stanley, who preached in especial reference to the history and scenes of the Holy Land. The party afterwards proceeded to the shore. His Royal Highness was received at the landing place by an officer and guard of honour sent to Jaffa by the Pasha of Jerusalem, who it was found had, moreover, furnished horses for the use of the Prince. The party were speedily mounted, and at once pro ceeded on their pilgrimage to the Holy City. They were to leave Jerusalem on the 9th, on their jour , ney towards the north, and to reach Beyrout in the beginning of May. Her Majesty's ship Doris con tinues in attendance upon his Royal Highness, folloying a parallel route along the coast. The Osborne sails for Beyrout on the 15th inst., but will call at Jaffa, his Royal Highness having kindly desired that the officers of the Royal yacht should have i an opportunity of likewise visiting the sacred city. We learn by telegraph that the German contrac tors of the Egyptian loan have negotiated it in the European markets with signal success. There was hardly room for the slightest doubt that this would be so. The Viceroy has had the wisdom, even at the eleventh hour, to check the course along which the Government seemed at one time to be hurrying headlong to its ruin, and the speedy recovery of his credit affords ample proof of the well-grounded con fidence that is felt in the resources of the country over which he rules, and of the ease with which its wealth and prosperity might be raised to a height which for ages past it has, unhappily, not been per mitted to attain. The new commercial treaty has not yet been ear. ried into execution in Egypt. The local Govern ment had until lately received no official notice of it from Constantinople, but arrangements have at length been entered into for bringing the new Cus toms' regulations into operation, and a meeting of the principal merchants of Alexandria took place a few days ago at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, for the purpose of regulating sundry matters of detail. For some time to come the new convention will occasion a loss of some importance in the por tion of the Government revenues derived from the Customs. The rate of duty upon exports is at once brought down from 12 per cent to 8 per cent, to be ultimately reduced to only 1 per cent, while the in crease in the duties upon imports will, according to the new treaty, only take effect when all other nations shall have agreed to the higher impost. As yet only England, France, and Italy have acceded. The loss to the Egyptian Government in its export duties will thus, even for the first year, amount to little under 1:150,000. ller Majesty's ship Firefly has arrived at Alex andria from Malta, on her way to resume her sum mer work for completing the hydrographie survey of the S 3 rian coast. lam informed that advantage will be taken of the opportunity to determine the precise position of Jerusalem, and of some other points of interest more or less distant from the sea. The public already lies under great obligations for the valuable charts of these seas that are due to the labours of Captain Man sell and his officers, and for which, I must, indeed, add, no small thanks ought to be rendered to the British Admiralty, by whose liberality the results of these laborious surveys are with open handed impartiality bestowed upon all nations. Their immense importance to navigators may not inaptly be exemplified by the fact of its having lately been discovered that the coast line to the west of Egypt has hitherto been laid down on the charts with an error of no less than seven miles. Fortu nately the error Was on the right side—that is to EXPINDIMRE OF ST.

According to the adage, " that it is better to pay for food than medicine"—which is a foolish adage, seeing the best thing we can pay for is the thing we most want—the cost for drugs and chemicals was only £2,634; wine and spirits cost altogether £931 ; porter, £353; surgical instruments, £168; washing, £777; coals and firewood, £958. But in this list is a specimen of the lumping system, against which we are so frequently compelled to protest. It is an entry written thus :—" Tradesmen's bills, £1,692."

It is a very large sum to set down in a lump, under so vague a description ; and if this were an institution " supported by voluntary contributions," the contributors would certainly desire a little information respecting it. Another lump, almost as vague, is, " salaries to officers, medical department, £2,800. In all such cases, if particulars are given at all, the salaries of the principal officers should be stated in detail. The public never grudge good salaries to able men, but they do like to know what their salaries are when they are connected with the administration of great public charities ; and it is most unwise to prepare a balance-sheet in such a way as to invite the smallest amount of adverse criticism. Salaries to officers on the Board of House Surgeons amounted to £356 ; to officers of the Civil Department, also a vague entry, and an objectionable lump, £2,280; salaries to servants, £1,836; wages to sisters and nurses, £2,256, The whole total of salaries was £lo,o34—that is, above a third of the income.

The sum of £1,028 was ex pended in repairs and improvements of the hospital, and £2,084 on the improvement of estates. The charity cannot have added much to its resources of raw material, however it may have improved the value of its attached properties ; for there was ex pended, for the purchase of land, the merely nominal sum of £6O, and for the redemption of land-tax £97. Altogether though many of the entries are as foggy as the shores of Newfoundland—this is a gratifying picture of the financial status of one of the oldest and most fioulishing of the metropolitan hospitals.—City Press. - R.,11.17Vel Y 17V71C-.23.IGENCE. NORTH-EASTERN. The Rosedale branch of this railway, in the Cleveland iron district, was inspected by the direc tors last week, and accepted by them from the contractor, Mr. R. Cail. This branch opens out an important mineral field. The Rosedale Alining Company now send by it from 10,000 to 16,000 tons of iron ore per month, or what will produce 60,000 to 80,000 tons of pig iron per annum. LYNN AND HUNSTANTON. The works on thift line, which are of an easy character, are advancing rapidly towards comple tion. Several miles of the permanent way have been laid ; the remainder is to be proceeded with simultaneously at various points, and the whole line is expected to be ready for traffic in June or July. At Hunstanton a number of marine residences, which it is expected will tend to increase the traffic are about to be commenced. BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO. The directors state in their report that the second and third sections of the railway were opened to the public on the 9th of September, and that on the 19th of November the Board were informed by his Excellency the Brazilian Minister that Mr. Morgan, the delegate of railway accounts, had cer tified that, in conformity with the provisions of the concession from the Imperial Government, the amount to be capitalised in respect of the second and third sections (241 additional miles) of the Bahia Railway is £499,866, and that Mr. Mor gan's certificate would be submitted to the Imperial Government for its sanction and information ;" and early in January the Board received payment from his Excellency of the guaranteed interest due l on the 31st of Dec., 1861, on the sum of £954,866, being the amount capitalised for the first, second, and third sections. The progress made in the works of the remaining sections was in all respects satis factory. Full particulars of the actual operations of the contractor would be found in the clear and comprehensive report of Mr. Vignoles, the engineer in chief, and the directors proposed to carry out his recommendation for additional rolling stock, in crease of station accommodation, and acquisition of stores. The exact sums which would be available for these purposes were not yet accurately ascer tained, but the shareholders might rest assured that the total expenditure would in no case exceed the amount of the guaranteed capital. Although the railway was not yet opened to the more populous and productive districts the board had every reason to be satisfied with the traffic. Of passengers alone 33,500, yielding £4,300, had been carried in the six months from September, 1861, to February, 1862. A call of 308 a share would be made, payable on the 6th of August, and the remaining £2 per share would be required early in next year, most likely £1 in January and £1 in April.

Her engines .are double cylinder and high pressure, of 200 horse power, made according to a patent of Mr. Marsht.' ll, of Messrs. Morton and Co., which is giving so much satisfaction in the Volunteer, of Leith. The uppe:r deck is of timber,and.her-building, which took placct under special survey, occupied a period of 20 months.. She is supplied with three steam winches and four steam cranes—the latter warranted to bear respec tively seven and four tons weight. She carries one gun, fit eitfitlr for signal or service. The length of the Leith is 255 feet, breadth 32 feet, and she is furnished with three ordinary and two life boats; Her 'first destination is Alexandria, where she goes for grain and cotton ; and she is registered aiin a. good and sufficient state to carry dry and perishable cargoes to or from all parts of the world. Cabins for 20 passengers are fitted up in a ve:y handsome and decorative style, in maple, crimson, and gold, with every modern accommodation, including a library of useful and entertaining works. At 20 minutes before noon, on Thursday the anchor was weighed by 30 jolly tars, all belonging to the port, who sang at the windlass several sea songs, suola as " The plains of Mexico," "Paddy on the railway,' and " The rolling river," during their work. The wind blew a smart breeze from W.S.W., and there floated from the rigging the whole signals of the British mercantile code. She slipped off in gallant style, and in passing the pierhead of Leith to round. Inchkeith, the Misses Macgregor and Dawson pro- , nounced the wish " Success to • the Leith," which was seconded by the hearty cheers of the crew. The Rev. W. H. Gray, Lady Hester's, Edinburgh, read and commented on the appropriate passage from 107th Psalm, verses 23 to 31, commencing " They that go down to the sea in ships; that do business in great waters," &c. The vessel was soon under steam, and sailing at a speed of 10 knots per hour, superintended by Capt. John Lindsay, and piloted by portly Cooke down the coast of the Lothians close in shore. Passing to the south of the islands Feathery and Lamb, nearing Gilliam Sands and North Berwick with its loft Law, she at length rounded Bass, powdered with solan geese, which nestled on every cliff of the rugged rock, and. sat unmoved despite the firing of the signal gunl and shouts of the crew. In returning, a heavy sea and strong gale was ahead, but on went the ship with the steady speed which she had maintained throughout with little diminution. One admirablie feature, indicatives Groat atrPngth, was the entire absence of vibration—an object long desiderated in ship construction. Although there were several freshwater sailors on board, not the slightest ten dency was felt to the marine malady so dreaded by the delicate and inexperienced. There could not have been better wind or water for a fair test of sea worthiness. Off the Island of Craigleith a Prussian vessel was spoken, beating up disabled And dipping deep, bat not so much so as to induce her to accept the proferred assistance of the Leith (no doubt under the fear of salvage), which in a few secozds showed by the production of her towing cables that her ropes were as ready as her powder had been dry. The voyage was most successful, and the • Leith came up to her haven with flying colours, amid the cheers of the crew and congratulations of the owners. At three p.m. the company sat down to a sumptuous dinner in the cabin, which, we should have mentioned, is lighted by stained-glass windows, in one of which is a full-length portrait of Mr. Miller, M.P., one of the proprietors. Mr; Donald Macgregor occupied the h • c air, and was sup ported right and left by the Rev. Mr. Gray and Mr. Dunamure. Captain Lindsay officiated as croupier, supported by Captains Galloway and Cairns, and Captain Sinclair, who has made the un precedented number of 97 voyages through the Baltic without having cost the underwriters on farthing, and who, it was stated, never sough shelter in port during a storm, always preferring to keep to the open sea.-B.otsman. .ENGLISH PRIZES AT THE FRENCH CATTLE &HOW. :Fin:llol°,,:allenAll:?lrtrredpaie.': -hire, for the Ang us A considerable crowd assembled on Thursday, early in the forenoon, at Poissy, to vi rme e ka w .tosdha t ale h tud e ate il fi b e enari c v o aatrhe l w, l ie e oia c tsusrd tio l ic a ) p : ienizes ani mals now assembled there.
