The St. Vincent sailing three rts - decker was taken from the upper part of Po , mouth harbour yesterday under the shears to have her meets taken out.

Her Majesty's screw guardsbip La Hogue, 60, Captain Moore, with the gunboats Snap and Gos hawk in charge, and bound to Greenock from Devonport, bore up with strong contrary wind and put into Falmouth on Sunday , whence they again took their departure on Monday, the weather having abated. Admiral John Surman Carden died at the close of the past week at Ballycastle, Antrim. He was born in 1771, and entered the navy at a very early age. As midshipman in the Marlborough he took part in Lord Howe's memorable action, in - which he sustained severe injury, and gained his commis sion as Lieutenant in the July following. When First Lieutenartt,of the Fisgard, Captain T. Byam Martin, he obtained great praise for his steady good conduct at the capture (Oct., 1798), after a close and obAtinate conflict, of the French frigate L'lm .mortalite, 42 guns. He aeiompanled the expmit'on to the Helder, and commanded a division of boats at the debarkation of the troops, and subsequently co-operated with the French Royalists in La Ven dee, and with the British army in Egypt. The gallant Admiral was appointed to the command of the Moselle brig, and assisted at the blockade of Cadiz. In 1808 he was appointed to the Ville de Paris, 110, one of the ships em-. ployed in embarking the troops after the battle of Corunna, his unremitting exertions on that occasion gaining him honourable mention in the despatches of the Admiral of the station. He was afterwards tOct., 1812) appointed to the Macedonia, 48, and while in command, after a gallant resistance which brought his ship to a helpless wreck, was compelled to surrender to the American ship United States, 56. Captain Carden was honourably, acquitted by a court-martial, and his conduct ex tolled " for his firm and most determined courage, resolution, and coolness in every instance through out the action." The gallant defence he made of his ship was much praised in Parliament, and after his return the freedom of Gloucester, Worcester, and other cities was conferred on him. In 1825 he was appointed to command the ordinary at Sheerness. His commissions bore date as follows :—Lieute nant, July 24, 1794 ; Commander, Oct. 23, 1798 ; Captain, Jan. 22, 1806 ; Rear-Admiral, Aug. 17, 1840 ; Vice-Admiral, March 23, 1848 ; and Admi ral, July 4, 1855. Owing to the deceased Admiral and Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Mansell, K.C.H. (who died on Monday last), being on the reserved list, no promotions follow. Admiral Carden's father, Major Carden, of Templetnore, died of wounds received in the first American war. Mr. H. D.

All the various notices issued by the authorities during the last 24 years in connection with the opening of new loans or the redemption or conversion of old ones are likewise included in the return. Among these the most important is the no tification put forth for the reduction of the Five per Cents. into Four per Cents. in April, 1854, to which the holders were led to assent by Certain flourishing representations of the condition and prospects of the Treasury, and which was followed in less than 12 months (March, 1855) by a new pro posal from he Government to borrow 2,750,0001. at the old rate of 5 per cent. This fresh loan was called the Public Works Loan, and is not rederm able until 1870. It excited great indignation, since the fact of the Governm nt again coming into the msrket to borrow on such terms of courso caused a terrible depreciation in the property of those who had believed any such prospect to be far distant, and who, under that impression, bad expected the Four per Cents. to be maintained at or above par. This transaction has been shown to have had a serious effect in damaging the financial prestige of the Company, and although an attempt was made to repair the mischief in July 'DA by au announce ment that the 4 per cent. paper would be received to the extent of one-half in all subscriptions to a 5 per cent. loar, - which was then and is still open, the recollection of it even at this time is thought to exert a prejudicial influence.

STATE OF TRADE. e F")'' , VAVENEY VALLEY. Mr. BAXTER. r, , ported from: the committee that the proposed new line is to be made by an existing company, to form part of their existing undertak ing, and 14 be made out of moneys which the com pany are al. ea.ly authorised to. raise. The length -ofthe proposeLcleviation is fiv„ t e,miles 52 chmuv, and the steepest graclismt on it will be 1 in 132. It is intended that the line should cross four public roads on the level. The estimated cost of the new works is 35,0001., and the quantity of land required is 451 acres. Mr. P.

Buyers for In , lia and the Mediterranean are also purchasing to some extent. Spinners being well engaged are exceedingly firm at last quotations, but no advance has been obtained. This applies to low and medium numbers of mule and water twist ; fine . yarns are sill difficult of sale. In the lower numbers 32's cops are an exception, prices not bring so well sus tained. In cloths the market is much the same as for yarns. There is a moderate business offering for export at last week's pricez, but sellers are in come case; asking an advance of lid. to 3d. per piece, and wh' re this is done it checks business. In the home trade there is rather more activity than for s hipping, and more business has been done in ' domestics long cloths and T-cloths, and printers. Some of the lower qualities of printers, lately much neglected, are iu rather better demand, and long cloths, T-cloths, and printing cloths have realised rather better terms. There is a slight improvement at length in the demand from America. Late ad• vices speak i f the mills there going on full time, and the prospect of a greater consumption of cot ton in the United States will probably help to give firmness, if not steadiness, to the market for the raw material, and increase confidence on both sides the Atlantic. The Persia is said to have brought over a good many buyers, and although a large por tion of them were proceeding to Germany and France, there has been sufficient business here for America within the last day or tvo to encourage a better feeling in this branch of the market. Messrs. John Slavg and Co. report : " There has been a firmer and more cheerful feeling in the matket to-day, and a fair amount of business has been transacted in T-cloths, longcloths, domestics, and some descriptions of printers, at the extreme rates current last week, and in some instances at a slight advance. There is not, so far, any further improvement in the demand, but prices for all kinds are firmly maintained." Messrs. George Fraser, SOD, and Co. report : " There is Prices out ange." iY) I THE MAYAOf)TII QUESTIOY. • Yesterday afternoon avety large deputation, con s;sting of up wards of 50 members, comprising over 23 clergymen, a number of members of Parliament' and others interested in the Protestant cause, warted by appointmAnt upon the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, at his lordship's official residence, in Downing-street, to ask the Go vernment to discountenance the Mayo ooth Grant. The PRIME MINISTER in reply said that it should be remembered that tha grant, in the first, was given as a boon to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, at a time when they exhibited their loyalty by re fusing the proposed education from a f,re an oa er ign p then at enmity with England. This grt in 1855, from being an annual one, was made upon a vote of Parlia ment, when Sir Robert Peel an scussi took a vo'e on the estimates, a perment el i n o rder to prevent any further painful di O the subject. Therefore they we p ledge of Parlia ould req uire a very s trong case to do away with th very g lad if the Government meat. He wou ld be a nt, seeing a s he d i d cou ld withdraw from the rant, very little of usefulness or good arise from it ; but this could nt t take place unless a good reason could be shown for such a procet-ding. At the same time care should be taken, if such an object was at t inpted, that it was not made the handle for a large party iu this country who were for the with of all Parliamentary religious endowments. di lordship fur th e r remarked that he considered His e question of entirely abo lishin g the May as to the t h a t could only consistently be done noot h g iant, a fter a proper representation had been made from the Protestants and the majority of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. This sermed to be the only means of ending the question. GREAT FIRE IN ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK.--Last night, , about eight o'clock, a fire broke out in the warehouses of St. Katherine's Dock.

The attack was completely successful, and the defenders were either killed, wounded, or captured. a result that may with perfect justice be athibuted to Lieutenant Kerr's dashing and de voted bravery."
