Were not this great country alreadt divided into States, that division must be made, that each might do for itself what concerns itself directly, and which it can so much better do than a distant authority. Every State again is divi ded into counties, each to take care of what lies within its local bounds; and each county again into townships, or wards, to manage minuter de tails; and every ward into farms, to be governed each by its individual proprietor. Were we di rected from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread. It is by this partition of cases, descending in gradation from general to particular, that the mass of human affairs may be best managed for the good and prosperity of all." Such is the beneficial effect of division for the management of local con cerns, that even under that feudal monster, the Germanic Empire, harassed as the people were with collisions of authority, and with tribunals of appeal, compared with the decisions of which those of our Court of Chancery are rapidity it self, the numbers of centres greatly promoted improvement ; and Germany, notwithstanding its inferiority to France in soil and climate, was always advantageously contrasted with it before the Revolution. Each little State, by having its attention confined to a small number of ob jects constantly under its view, was enabled to manage them in a different manner from that in which the distant provinces of a great empire are usually managed. We cannot help think ing that a distribution of administration is essentially called for in this immense empire.— There are certain matters that concern the whole, and again other matters which con cern only the different members. The old sys tem of England, in some measure, left local mat ters to each of the colonies and dependencies ; and to this circumstance we are no doubt indebted for the rapid improvement of them. The first great departure from this system was the Incor. porating Union with Scotland, which, as the two countries are geographically connected, and as Scotland was left to its own laws and institutions, was, perhaps, on the whole, productive of good. But the Incorporating Union with Ireland is of a different character, because it deprives a country with a population large enough to occupy a Le gislature with its concerns, of the share of at tention to which they are entitled. There can be no question that both England and Ireland have lost by this union, because the time wasted on Irish affairs is taken from the consideration of English affairs. There are questions connected with Ireland alone sufficient to engross Parlia ment for the next four years. The single ques tion, as to the best mode of providing for the superabundant population, whose competition for land, as a means of subsistence, keeps the coun try in a state of constant anarchy, is sufficient to occupy Parliament far a session at least. The English Members know nothing of Ireland, and they will not concern themselves with the ques tion ; but then, as there is but one threshing floor for the harvest of the whole of our posses sions, while the Irish Members have possession of it nothing else can be done. In the interim between the discussion of the affairs of Hin dostan—a most momentous question, coming on ; the -affairs of Ireland Upper and Lower Canada, the Capa of Good Hope, Australasia, and the superlineaeßce of the mode in which -- the Colonies, with separate tagislatures, gave. effect to the views of Parliament, as to the treat- silent of slaves, we shall have, by way of relief; the trivial matter of considering changes in our domestic laws, and our system of judicial admi nissrasion. With respect to Ireland in particular there can be no question, that with all tile faults of its Parliament, improvement proceeded more ,-,apidly tinder it than since the Union. But ilreland has never had fair play. It was kept in slavish dependence on this country till the ,American war, and measures dictated by the narrow views of particular classes in England were forced on the Irish Parliament, while time best laws of that Parliament were rejected here. After the armed Volunteers had conquered the independence of the Irish Parliament, its Con 54itution must have purified itself from time o b i a„Lis defects in it. All that was wanted was, that E ng land should abstain from interfering with the domestic ,airs of Ireland. The Catholics could only be kept clown by the aid of English men and English money ; and a Parliament chosen by all would have attended to the interests of ails But it is not enough to point out what is right ; the people must be prepared for the doctrine. Now we do not believe that time people of England are prepared for the views of Mr. O'Connell. The question involves, in some measure, the ascendancy of England, be cause any scheme corresponding to a federation, misapposes a representation of all the separate in sessasts. At present the local legislature of Eng land has a great majority in the decision of the affairs of the Empire.—Morning Chronicle. It is said that one of the next measures to be brought before Parliament will be a Bill for new modelling the Welch Courts, and increasing the number of Judges in Westminster Hall, and which measure, it is added, is expected to be come a law previous to the circuits ; but how this can be we do not see ; for considering that time spring circuits commence, in general, in time se.t week of March, and Parliament will not m. • to business, in all probability, till the procee.. , i second week: n February, there will he only passing. through three weeks for : lie mea s ure into consideration both Houses, without .ilking expf . eted from a the opposition which may 11 : if not the whole, of the Prins:Li:l ll V. To part be sure, a measure for increasing the nun;!ser of the Judges in the different Courts in Westmin ster Hall comes with a singular aspect al the very moment when a vacancy in one of the present number has been allowed to exist for four months, and up to the heart of the Term, and when the business of the Court of Exchequer is said to have devolved, upon one occasion, upon one Judge only. As far as Westminster Hall is concerned, the one thing wanted is not, we believe, so much an increase in the number of Judges, as a more equal distribution of their labours. One of the twelve Judges, it is well known, undergoes nearly, if not quite as much labour as the whole of the other eleven : and those of the King's Bench, generally, twice as much as the eight Judges of time other two Courts put together. But we do not say that on time circuits more Judges are required ; and, whether the Welch jurisdiction be merged in that of our other Courts or not, there can be little doubt but that both the- civil and criminal affairs of Wales ought to be confined to persons of higher professional attainment than Welch It is to b e h ope d, Judges have generally been. too, that in any reform of the Courts the great Criminal Court at the Old Bailey will not be overlooked ; and that we shall no longer witness the singular anomaly of the Corporation of London appointing Judges to try prisoners for offences not occurring within the City. These hints we throw out as not wholly unworthy, we trust, of consideration.—Morning Herald. In the last number of the Quarterly Review there is, in the shape of a review of some late publications on Turkey, a most unfavourable and exaggerated account of the Turkish. Government, and the Turkish people ; but at the same time some judicious observations on the treaty of Adrianople, and the settlement of the Greek question. We pass over the former, which con sists principally of extracts from the works al luded to ; but the latter furnishes too important a confirmation of the remarks which we have made, from time to time, upon the treaty, not to be transferred to our pages. . . "For _ the present, says the article, the fate of Turkey is in the hands of the Russian Autocrat, whose professions of moderation would seem to have been too confidently relied on by England, France, and Austria. The amount, however, of the indem nity, stipulated by Gen. Diebitsch, makes it clear enough that a pecuniary liquidation of the claim is out of the question—if, indeed, such liquidation was not the last thing the General's Government wished to obtain. The payment of the exorbitant demand is utterly impracticable—there is no Rothschild to advance money to the Turks, and the whole reve nue of three years would scarcely suffice to wipe out this heavy score. 4 ' But the indemnities required by the treaty are by no means the mist grievous and uoritalonable part of it. - The seventliarticle lays the foundation for a state of immediate and constant hostility. Its provisions are repugnant to the principle and prac tice of international law; in fact, they establish an imperium in imperio. By this article, Russian sub jects are to live, throughout the whole Ottoman empire, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Mi nisters and Consuls of Russia. The Turkish Au thorities are to exercise no controul whatever over Russian merchants, seamen, ships, or merchan dise; they may ship, or transship, or land goods, without giving any notice to, tar less asking permis sion of, the local authorities; and, if any of the stipulations should be infringed, and the reclamation of the Russian Minister should not obtain a full and prompt satisfaction, the Sublime Porte recognises, before hand, the right in the Imperial Court of Russia to consider such an infraction an act of hos tility, and immediately to retaliate on the Ottoman empire.' This, we confess, does appear to us to be monstrous. By the established law of nations, the civilised Powers of Europe agree that their subjects residing in a foreign country shall be amenable to the laws of that country; but Russia exacts from her fallen enemy the degrading submission, that her subjects shall bid defiance to the laws and usages of the Ottoman State, and if interfered with, that im mediate retaliation shall follow. A Russian, for in stance, violates the sanctity of a Turkish harem, and gets a yatigan through his body; the Russian Mi nister is unable to obtain satisfaction, and an imme diate declaration of war ensues. This is certainly a pretty specimen of moderation.' " We pretend not to divine what steps the great Powers of Europe may judge it necessary to be taken on the present emergency ; but the aggran disement of the Russian dominions cannot, we should suppose, be contemplated with complacency. In casting an eye over the map of the Old World, and seeing how her territories stretched from the Frozen Ocean to the Mediterranean, with her broad shoulders resting on Europe and Asia, and her gigantic body pushing its limbs on all sides into the comparatively small chequered patches which form the several states of the two Continents, the ditfe. rence of their magnitude reminds us of a whale in the midst of a shoal of porpoises. ' " When we consider that this overgrown power is keeping up something like a million of men in arms, we confess that, without a sincere and honest confederaticn of civilized nations, it is no chimerical apprehension that Western Europe may once more be deluged by the slavish barbarians of the North. However well disposed the Emperor Nicholas may be to cultivate the arts of peace, and exercise the virtues of moderation—which, however, he appears to have failed to do, with regard to Turkey, in breach even of a solemn declaration—it should be remem bered that the good effects of his personal disposition are contingent on his life; and that it is impossible to say what line of conduct his autocratical succes sor might determine to pursue. Let Austria in particular look to this contingency and endeavour to provide for it. " Austria, above all other States, is deeply inte rested in the treaty made with Turkey. By leaving the two great provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia in the occupation of Russia, with Servia ready to throw herself into the arms of this power, she is virtually surrounded and made vulnerable on three of her sides; open to an invasion at any moment, into Gallicia, Transylvania, Sclavonia, and, in fact, into all Hungary. If there be any faith to be placed in the word of Nicholas, when he disclaimed all aggrandizement of territory, he cannot in honour hold those provinces which the treaty has virtually given him in perpetuity; for being pledged for in demnity which the Tuck can never pay—being garrisoned by Russian troops, and governed by hos podars appointed by Russia; it looks very like a preconcerted scheme to obtain perpetual possession. If this be not meant, and if the Czar be desirous of putting his boasted moderation to the test, let him concert to their being placed under the protection of Austria, in the same mariner as the lonian islands are under that of Great Britain. The Christian in habitants would be rejoiced if altogether transferred to this power; and for such a boon it would be wise on ther part, if so required, to abandon the north of Italy, where her very name is held in abhorrence. In every point of view, morally and politically, such an arrangement would appear to be desirable. To Austria it would lay open a line of coast on the Black sea, extending about a hundred miles between the Dniester and the southern branch of the Danube, and thus restore something like a balance of power on that side between her and Russia; and it would prevent Turkey from ever in terfering with the territories situated on the northern side of the Danube ; but these are points, among many others of equal importance, which we appre hend it may be necessary to arrange by a congress of the great Powers of Europe." With regard to the settlement of the Greek question, the" Reviewer expresses precisely the sane opinions which we have all along enter tained and expressed. Count Capo dlstria is not only a political adventurer of very ques tionable principles, but the creature of Russia, and the gworn enemy of England ; and on " this ground alone," the Reviewer observes, "we do not think that either England, France, or Austria, ought to consider him a fit person to be placed at the head of the Greek Government. It is, in fact, neither more or less than throwing Greece into the hands of Russia, between which and Nervia the province of Albania only is in, terposed. 'To talk of the independence of Greece under spch man as Count Capo d'lstria is a farce ;" but the farce, after all, we fear, will be acted ; and even if it should not, is not Russian influence, supposing the Treaty of Adrianople to be carried into effect, already too extensive and powerful to permit even an independent Prince to remain independent of it ? Turkey is at this moment virtually a province of Russia—the subjects of the latter possess all the rights of Russian subjects within the territories of the guarded by Sultan—the Turkish fortresses are Russian soldiers—the revenues of the State levied by Russian commissioners, and, in a word, Turkey, as an independent country, only exists in name. We say, therefore, that if Greece he in future to be an independent state, Russia must again be driven across the Danube and the Pruth and the Porte re-established as an independent state ; and that unless this be done speedily there is no power in Europe, with the exception of England—and she too has some reason to tremble for her eastern dominions—which can consider itself safe from invasion and irruption by the Russian barbarians.—Morning Adver. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoRTSmOUTII, NOV. 14.—The Raleigh, 18, Com mander Sir William Dickson, Baronet, arrived on Thursday from the Mediterranean. She left Vice- Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm with the strength of his fleet in the harbour of Bisika on the 20th September. Sir Pulteney had only just heard of the cessation of hostilities between Russia and the Porte. The Raleigh on her way down called at Malta and Gibraltar. From the latter fortress she sailed on the Ist instant, leaving there the Dart mouth frigate. When the Raleigh quitted the com bined squadron, the united force consisted of six English, two French, and seven Russian sail of the line; three English, two French, two Ruasian, one Dutch, and one Austrian frigate ; two English, two French, and two Russian sloops of war, and one English bomb. The Russian fleet was anchored in mid-channel between Tenedos wall the Main, while in shore abreast of them was the English fleet. Up to this period no intimation had been given of the return of the Russian fleet to the Baltic; cillse quently, as the movements of the Bsitisli squadron will depend on those of the Russian, no idea was entertained of Sir Pulteney diminishing his force, by.sending back to England any of the men-of-war, by which his power was strengthened under cir cumstances apparently less auspicious to the tran quillity of Europe, than those that have subse quently transpired. Various rumours prevailed among the squadron ; it was considered by some that the Russians would winter at Poros ; if so our ships will remain out; by others that they would winter at Toulon, the defective state of the squadron being such as to render hazardous a homeWarsl bound voyage in the winter season. Another ru mour circulated was, that immediately on the ratifi cation of the Treaty, the Russian squadron would quit the Mediterranean for England, under the escort of a British squadron, to insure the safety of their crews, in the event of accident in crossing the Bay of Biscay. Our officers have well traversed and surveyed the plains, with Homer in their hands, arid that ancient' bard is now as well read in that quarter, as Hamilton Moore or Inman. The Ra leigh is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off, and will sail to-morrow. We have accounts from Malta to the 21st of Oc tober (fourteen days subsequent to the sailing thence of the Raleigh), at which date the Britannia, Ocean, Melville, Spartiate, and Madagascar, were lying there. The Gloucester had proceeded to the Archipelago; the other ships named were waiting the return of the Weazle sloop-of-war, which had been despatched to the Vice-Admiral for orders. By information received over-land since the Ra leigh left the fleet, we find that the Russian fleet has quitted its station off the Dardanelles. On its departure, the Russian Admiral, Count Heyden, caused his ships to hoist the Turkish, French, and English colours, and saluted with 21 gulls. The English fleet then did the same, and quitted the neighbourhood, leaving only six vessels of war. On the 29th September the French squadron quitted the Archipelago. On the 7th October Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm returned to the Dardanelles on a brig, with a cutter in company, went up the canal to Constantinople, and on the following day had the unusual honour of a private audience with the Grand Seignior, to which he was introduced by our Am bassador, the Hon. Robert Gordon. The Sultan was remarkably affable and cheerful. Trade had begun to revive at the Turkish capital. IN fifteen days 117 ships had arrived from the Mediterranean, 50 of which had gone to the Black Sea : 76 of these were Austrian and Sardinian, and 32 were English. The Blossom surveying ship, Captain Owen, was at Madeira on the Ist of October; the Light ning, 18 guns, Captain Dickinson, was there on the following day, and the Ariadne, 28 guns, Captain Marryatt, there on the 12th of the same month.-- The Cadmus sloop-of-war and Thetis frigate were at Buenos Ayres on the 10th of September. The Shannon frigate, Captain Clement; arid the Victor, 18 guns, Captain Keane, were at the Havannah on the Ist of September. A letter has been received in this town from his Majesty's ship Sybille, on the coast of Africa, dated the 12th of August, which states that a fever had begun to afflict that ship, and had carried off six marines, 34 seamen, and the Captain's steward. The Herald yacht, Captain Maxwell, put into Plymouth last week, on her voyage from this port for Carthagena, in consequence of the severe illness of Mrs. Turner, the lady of his Majesty's Envoy to Colombia (who is going out in the Herald), and will remain there until Mrs. Turner is sufficiently re covered to proceed. The Britomart, 10, Commander Johnson, is or dered to the Western Islands, to take out W. H. Read, Esq., Consul-General of those Islands. 'The Ganges, 84, Captain Hayes, C. 8., and the Pembroke, 74, were taken out of dock yesterday. The Edinburgh, for repair, will, on Monday, occupy that vacated by the former, and the Sultan the dock out of which the Pembroke was taken. The Amphitrite frigate will be taken out of dock on Monday, and the Bull Dog will be brought in to be broken up. The Raven and Starling cutters arrived at Ply mouth on Friday, from Milford. These vessels were built in Pembroke dock-yard, on a peculiar construction, arid are intended to be fitted as tenders. The Delaford, freight-ship, came into harbour on Thursday, from Deptford, and this morning were embarked in her detachments for Corfu, of the 18th, 51st, 90th, and 95th Regiments. The Neva transport, from Deptford, came into harbour this morning, to take on board detachments of the 7th Fusileers, 85th Regiment, and 2d Bat talion of the Rifle Brigade, to join the service com panies of their respective regiments at Malta : and a detachment of the 43d Regiment to join the service companies of that corps at Gibraltar. They will be embarked on Monday. The Sylvia cutter arrived on Sunday, and the Snipe cutter on Monday from a cruise. The Sylvia sailed again on Tuesday. The Hightlyer, tender to the Hyperion, sailed yesterday for Newhaven. PROMOTIONS.-Mr. W. Mitchell, of the Isis, to be Lieutenant of the Samarang. Mr. R. B Wat son, late acting Lieutenant of the Menai, to ke Lieutenant. His Majesty's ship Rapid, 10, Commander C. H. Swinburne, launched at this dock-yard in Sep tember last, is expected to sail for the Mediter ranean in a few days. She has been fitted with carronade slides, on the plan invented by the Hon. Captain Elliot, of his Majesty's ship Victory, by which the guns can be trained at a greater angle than hitherto. It is said that his Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104 , , at Plymouth, is to be immediately put in commission. APPOINTMENTS.—Capt. G. W. Hamilton, Lieut. George Caswell, John Bazely, Wm. O'Bryen Hoare, and W. H. Hall; Mr. Benjamin Jennings, Purser, and Mr. Patrick Martin, Assistant-Surgeon, from Haslar Hospital, are appointed to the Druid, fitting at Plymouth, Lieut. W. P. Green, of the Astrwa, is appointed to the Frolic; Lieutenant Robert Paley, to the 4strpa, vice Green; Lieutenant Ed mund Norcott, is appointed to the Trineulo ; Mr. J. R. Lilburn is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the Wellesley. The Gillmore, in which vesFel Mr. Than as Peel and suite embarked for the new settlement at Swan River, arrived off Madeira on the 25th of August. Lieutenant Jacob Siver, Resident Lieutenant of the Royal Hospital at Haslar, is about to retire. Thirty-three outward-bound ships have sailed from this port within the last two days. The following is an extract of a letter, dated on board his Majesty's ship Asia, off the Dardanelles, Sept. 18th, and received on Thursday last, per the Raleigh :—" I received your last by the Favourite, on the sth of September : she was 31 days from Engler - IJ. The fleet here consists of ILI sail of the line, six frigates, four sloops, and three brigs. Of these, six sail of the line, two frigates, and three sloops, are English—the rest are Russians. The Treaty of Peace between the Turks and Russians was signed in the early part of last week, the Rus sians having taken Enos, and garrisoned it with 10,000 troops, and marched beyond Adrianople, to within 40 or 50 miles of Constantinople. The signing of the Treaty was announced to us by the Admiral's sending a note on the quarter-deck. By the terms of the Treaty, the Russians are to have the free passage of the Dardanelles (which they had not before), and are to keep the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia until the payment of 7,000,0001. sterling by the Turks, for the expences of the war. It is thought impossible for the Turks to pay so much money, and that, therefore, the Rus sians will still gain a great extension of territory by the treaty. In one of the papers you sent me there was a paragraph respecting the Mary schooner, which was detained off the Dardanelles. We hap pened to be there one day with the squadron of five sail of the line, and the his was sent in to re quest the Russian Admiral to let the Mary pass, which he immediately did. When we were cruising ,between Mitylene and Scio, we exercised in the se- . Veral manoeuvres, arid had a sham fight, the effect of which was very fine. To-morrow we go to Troy. It is expected that the extra squadron will shortly be withdrawn, and as the Asia's time is just up, she will probably be one of the ships to go home," By a letter from Smyrna dated October 3d, we learn that his Majesty's ship Revenge, 76, Captain N. Thompson, had arrived there, arid that Captain Thompson had for the present taken the command of the station. The raising of the blockade of the Dardanelles had been officially announced by a letter from Sir P. Malcolm, to the British Consul at Smyrna. The Officers of the French surveying expedition on the coast of Brazil, under the direction of Baron Roussin, having completed the survey of that coast as far Smith as the Island of St: Catherine, are di rected to extend their survey to the mouth of the river Flute, by which the whole of that coast will be completed. An order was received on Friday last in his Ma jesty's Dock-yard at this port, from - the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, to fit his Majesty's ship Ganges, 84, Captain John Haynes, with a new improved pump-dale on the plan of Sir Robert Sep pings. The pump-dales in use in the Royal Navy until a very late period, have been constructed with wood, and have, front their situation, been found extremely inconvenient, leading from the pump across the quarter-deck, offering a great obstruction to the moving of the guns, and blocking up the free passage of the deck. Captain Phillips, R.N., has already improved upon this plan, by placing the pump-dales underneath the beams supporting the deck, by which the above inconvenience has been remedied. Sir R. Seppittgs has, however, effected a further improvement in the pump-dale, the parti culars of which we hope to be able to state in a fu ture paper. His Majesty's ship Asia, on going to the Mediterranean, was fitted on this plan, by way of experiment, and in consequence of the favour able report made by Sir E. Codrington, who had, in the battle of Navarin, an opportunity of giving it the best possible trial, it was ordered to be adopted in his Majesty's ships Hastings, Warspite, and Melville. The two former were fitted accord- ingly, but'the pump-dale for the latter was not in readiness when she sailed. It is, however, now ready to be fitted on the first opportunity. The Committee of Naval Officers appointed to revise the rigging warrant, closed their sittings in his Majesty's Dock-yard on Saturday last. Among other contemplated improvements which have been submitted for their approval, is a new method of fitting the cat-blocks of anchors. The improve ment consists in the attachment of a swivel-11(30k to the cat-block (instead of the fixed hook, hitherto in use), by which the inconvenience that frequently arises from the twisting of the rope is effectually prevented. On Monday evening last, at a quarter past seven o'clock, Brown, a shipwright, one of the rounders that night, whose duty it was to see that all was safe, was going his rounds, when he observed thick volumes of smoke to issue from the roof of the whitesmith's shop, and In a few seconds the flames burst forth through the roof. He immediately.gave the alarm, when Mr. Radcliffe attended, and with some assistance succeeded in battering open the doors, when they discovered the whole place in flames. The Marine Guard, commanded by Capt. D. Campbell, had by this time arrived, as also 100 convicts from the Leviathan convict hulk. The engines were brought to play with great expedition, and, from' the plentiful supply of water, the fire was completely got under by eight o'clock, before many of the officers in the Dock-yard knew any thing about it. Too much praise cannot be given to the various officers of the yard, the officer com manding the guard, &c., for their prompt and effec tual exertions, and for which, we understand, they received the thanks of the worthy Commissioner, Sir Michael Seymour, who was present, giving directions, during the whole of the time. It is supposed that the fire originated from a spark which had got among the wood-work, within a few feet distance from the forge, where there is a vice bench, with drawers underneath, and wooden cup boards above. The progress of .the fire must have been very rapid, for at seven o'clock Mr. Sullivan, the boatswain, went his rounds, and found all right. Alterations of an important nature are about to be adopted in the magazines of ships of the Navy, by which much risk will be avoided, whilst expe dition in supplying the guns is attained. Part of the principle is a revolving circular box, placed in the bulk-head of the magazine; the empty cartridge box is placed in it from without, ar►d a full one is received from the inside by merely turning the ma chine. The magazines are also to be lowered 14 inches more than at present below the surface of the water. It is rumoured, but we know not with what truth, that the fleet under Sir Pulteney Malcolm, in the Mediterranean, is to be immediately recalled. It is also reported that the Russian fleet, under Count Heiden, are to winter at Plymouth, but we rather believe that Toulon is intended to be their winter cram ers. The Plymouth Journal says that the Emperor of Russia has offered the Command-in-Chief of all the Russian Navy to Sir Edward Codrington. This statement is given as " from a high quarter," but it seems highly improbable. 'I he following are directions for vessels to enter Mother Ivy's Bay, near Padstow, where they may find shelter until they can run for Padstow harbour, communicated to the Committee of Lloyd's--" Vol venten, or Mother Ivy's Bay, lies on the east side of Trevose-head, and W. half N. three miles from the entrance of Padstow harbour. Vessels. may anchor here with the wind from S. to N.N.W. in seven fathoms at low water. With N.W. winds haul close round the small islands or rocks called the Madraps, and anchor within a cable's length of them, the eastern most bearing about N.V. Vessels caught on the coast by gales from the N.W., and not being able to keep off, may anchor here to wait a flowing tide to run for Padstow, which harbour should never be a ttempted on an e bb tid e i n strong wea th e r, w i t hout a leading wind. It is recommended not to lie long in this bay, as, should the wind shift round to the N.E., it would bring in a heavy sea, when both ves:el and lives would be in danger, there being very little room to get under weigh." DEVONPORT, Nov. 14.—The following Midship men passed their examinations for Lieutenants at ,the Royal Naval College on Monday last : Messrs. R. B. Watson, Charles Grove, J. H. M. Robert son, W. P. Crozier, Hon. Charles St. Clair, Sid ney Grenfell, John Theodore Page. His Majesty's sloop Orestes, 18, Commander J. Reynolds, sailed yesterday for the Cove of Cork. The packet brig Briseis, Lieut. J. Downey, arrived from the River on Thursday, and sailed yesterday for Falmouth.—The Armada, 74, having had her defects made good, has been this week placed at her moorings in Hamoaze. The Dublin, 50, is expected to be brought for ward for commission, to receive the broad pendant of Capt. the Hon. H. Duncan (1806), who will re lieve Commodore Collier on the coast of Africa, the Sybille's period of service expiring in December. The Dryad, 42, it is also said will be shortly com missioned for foreign service. Orders have been received to recommission the Druid, 46, at this port, for foreign service, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, C. 8., late of the Cambrian, to have the command. In Hamoaze—St. Vincent, Kent, Pylades, Hya cinth, Leveret, Royalist, Meteor steam-vessel, and Britomart transport. In Barnpool—Undaunted. Island—Britomart and Bramble. - Sound—Herald. APPOINTHENTS.—Lieutenants William O'Brien Hoare and William Henry Riall, to the Druid; Mr. J. A. Mould to be supernumerary Assistant- Surgeon to the St. Vincent, 120, vice Mr. Francis Osborne, appointed to the Sheldrake packet. Lieut. John W. Bailey, to be Resident Agent for Transports, at Portsmouth; Lieut. T. Williams 01 to be Resident Agent for Transports in the Isle of Wight; and Lieut. S. Spencer, to assist the Super intendant, at Deptford. Lieut.-Colonel Henry Cox, of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, has retired upon full pay, in consequence of which the following promotions have taken place, viz. :—Major Edward Carter Hornby, to be Lieut.-Colonel, vice Cox, retired; Brevet Major George Beatty to be Major, vice Hamby; Captain James S. Pilcher to be Pay Cap tain, vice Beatty; and Capt. George Butt Bury, from half-pay, to be Captain, vice Pilcher. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY Nov. 14. DUNN V. DUNN. Mr. HORNE supported a petition for the retnoval of a Captain Coldieutt, who had been appointed the next friend of the infants in this cause, and who had bccome insolvent. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the statement as to Captain Coldicutt's circumstances was quite cor rect. He had been a speculator in pictures, and it had turned out a very unsuccessful one. Among other bad bargains he had made, one was the pur chase of a picture, supposed to be painted by Salva tor Rosa, for 600 guineas, which was afterwards found not to be by that artist, and which had fetched at an auction only 61. Captain Coldicutt was not in a situation to oppose the prayer of the petition, but the Solicitor-General, on his part, contradicted a statement which had been made, that he was de sirous of withdrawing, and that the petition was pre sented on his account. No such statements ought ever to have been put forward, and they were be sides wholly untrue. The LORD CHANCELLOR intended to give judg ment in the cause on Monday, and would dispose of this petition at the same time. BEVERIDGE V. HAT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that the de fendant should stand committed to the Fleet for the wilful breach of an injunction of this Court. The plaintiff was a surgeon, practising in Newgate-street, and the defendant, his nephew, and also a surgeon, had entered into an agreement, on being taken into partnership by his uncle, that when the period of -their partnership should have terminated, he would not practice within a certain distance of the plain tiff's residence. The defendant had broken this agreement by setting up in Cheapside, and the in junction had been obtained, restraining him from further practisinz in that neighbourhood. In con tempt of this injunction the defendant had again established himself in Cheapside, and instead (as he had formerly done) of proceeding quietly and un ostentatiously, he had had his name written above the door, "James Hay, surgeon, &c.," in large cha racters. A great number of affidavits had been filed in support of the motion, and it appeared that some time since the defendant had married a ward of the Court, and had suffered a protracted impri sonment in consequence. The plaintiff had recently gone to France, and during his absence, in breach of the agreement as well as the injunction, defendant had set up business on his own account in Cheapside. The LORD CHANCELLOR would take home the affidavits and read them. In so important a case he was unwilling to give judgment without full consideration. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 14. THE KING V. MANWARING. This was a conviction under the Hawkers' and Pedlers' Act of the 50th Geo. 111. c. 41. It ap peared that the defendant had been employed . by a person named Boyle, a china and Iwthenware ma nufacturer at Henley, to carry his ivares about the country for sale. He accordingly went to different towns in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Leices tershire, and in his progress took a room an inn at Gaiusborough, where he sold his wares by auction, without having a hawker's licence, for want of which he was convicted under the Act of Parliament in the penalty of 101. By the 23d section of the Act the real workers and makers of the articles sold, and their children, apprentices, or known agents or ser vants usually residing with them, were exempted from the penalty. The defendant was the agent or servant of Mr. Boyle, at a fixed salary, but did not reside in his master's house, but in a small tenement of his own, at Henley, about 300 yards from Mr. Boyle's residence; the question, therefore, was, whether lie came within the description of a " known agent or servant usually residing with the real worker or maker only," within the meaning of the Act. The COURT were of opinion that he did not. They thought that the exemption applied only to persons who were members of the family of the ma nufacturer, or usually residing with hint as part of his establishment. Letters from Aberdeen state that the utmost exertions are making to throw Mr. HOME out of the district of boroughs at the next general election, and with every prospect of their efforts being successful. Sir J. CARNEGIE is reported to have secured three out of five, which, if true, will undoubtedly secure his election. The number of sealed proposals which have been sent in to the Commissioners of Police by divers clothiers, hatters, shoemakers, tailors, &c., who offer to furnish the force with the articles of their respective trades at prices far below those usually demanded, do, it is said, exceed some hundreds. Among the number, a spirited barber, named LOVE, who resides in Drury-lane, forwarded a proposal for shaving the men of " F." division every morning—supplying theta with the requisite soap and water, together with clean towels, blacking their boots and shoes, and finally brushing their clothes, all at the small charge of one penny per head. The office of Gentleman Porter, or some such appointment, lately became vacant in the neighbourhood of Windsor, a birth of some consequence, it seems, as it takes the party out of livery. An influential person in these kingdoms named one of his establishment for the vacancy; but a lady, whose name, though frequently mentioned, is not often seen in print, proposed one of her own footmen—and he was thereupon appointed, and the first party disappointed. Though the parties and the place are insignificant, the anecdote is deemed by some Court-end folks worthy of repetition, as still showing " how the wind blows," BARNSLEY, Nov. 13. All the weavers who have been so fortunate ac t° . obtain work, are now activly employed in :tb! ir t looms, and business is proceeding here as Usti"' though perhaps with a little increase of spirit, owil to many of the houses having been so long tinter ployed. The report of the apprehension of 0 1 ' Ashton, at Whitby, one of the leading members the Barnsley Weavers' Committee, as stated in d i Leeds Mercury of last week, proved to be correct; and on Friday evening he arrived at this plate s custody, and was lodged in the town prison, en charge of being concerned in the riot and attack 9$ Sykes's house at Dodworth, on Thursday, the li t ' of October. Last Saturday William Jagger, westv! r ' of Worsbro'-common, was apprehended on a chat ° of being concerned in the attack on Mr. Tho m" Jackson's house, at Keresforth-hill, on the night.° Wednesday, the 26th of Atigust last, when till ; gentleman's house was set on fire, and the furnifal and books consumed. On Monday, John Carr ill Thomas Oates, (usually called Thomas -Hoyle , : weavers, were apprehended, and committed te, prison on a similar charge. On Wednesday, 0 11 Ashton underwent an examination before L . Wharncliffe, the Rev. Dr. Corbett, and' Josep h : Beckett, Esq., when he was committed to 3 1°7 Castle to take his trial for the offence at the at , Assizes. Jagger and Carr were also examined, but the principal evidence against, them being MO') they were remanded. Between the periog - Hoyle's committal, and the examination before dif Magistrates, he had effected his escape, under following extraordinary circumstances, and has 6 1 . since been heard of:—About two o'clock in O . : , afternoon of Monday last, soop after Hoyle 4 - Carr witre.conunitted, a dense smoke, - soo , ed by flame, was seen to issue from the gr'll window of the Rrison. An alarm was instant!! raised that the prison was cm fire, when ficti u d Woodcock, a constable, who had posseisiort° fl " 3 ' keys, in the absence of Carnelly, t h e police-offi ce, "' wishing to rescue the prisoners from what be c on '' sidered their impending fate, opened the door' Hove, seizing the moment of liberation, ran off At full speed, and effected his escape; but the othe r' prisoners remained, and when the alarm was Oct . they were again secured. There is reason to suP', pose that the fire in the prison was,a stratagem, cc, certed for the purpose of effecting the escape Hoyle, and that it proceeded from a quantity* °, straw, which was in the inside of the prison, haling) been collected and ignited at the window. It or/ pears that Hill, a very active constable, was pristh, when the prison door was thrown open, a nd it said that he either secured Ashton, or t hat AA° secured him, while Hoyle threw off hie hat and cost , ' and scampered off at a speed which set pursuit defiance.—Leeds Mercury.
