NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 3.—Late last night this isle was affrighted from its propriety by the reports of musketry, and the rapid flash and roar of great guns, denoting some awful calamity in the vicinity of this dcckyard. This extraordinary circumstance soon caused a vast multitude to assemble on the shore on either side the harbour, with anxious faces, asking each other, " Where's the fire?"—the general belief being that a fire had broken out in one of the ships up the harbour, the re peated discharge of guns appearing to confirm that opinion. Nor was the alarm and apprehension thus created confined to the shore. About a quarter to ten o'clock, the third great gun in succession having been fired, and the flash and report having been made out to proceed from the north -east quarter of the dockyard, the Victory, 100, Captain Pasco, ordinary guard-ship, then becoming alive to the fact of some most unusual and incomprehensible disaster having been discovered in some important portion of the naval establishment in or adjacent to the harbour, beat to quarters; the men in stantly " turned cut" of their hammocks, manned all her boats, hoisted the signal of " fire" (four lanterns vertical) at the peak, and dispatched the boats, each in charge of an experienced officer, to ascertain the whereabouts and the particulars of the supposed calamity, and render all the assistance in their power. All this naturally in creased the alarm already most general ashore, and watermen's boats were seized by the eager throngs to fallow the men-of-war's men, we have no doubt with the same most praiseworthy and laudable intention. The first boat manned was dispatched to the St. Vin cent, 120, flag-ship (on board of which the most unac countable apathy seemed to prevail), a few oars' strokes across the harbour, to inform them that firing was going on up the harbour, when the officer in the boat was coolly informed over the side of the ship—" Oh, we heard you beat to quarters, and expected you to come; it's the Excellent practising with shell at the old Leviathan; we've three boats away guarding the creeks!" The officer in the boat then pulled across to the Victory, to allay the increasing alarm on board that ship, which was also communicated to the whole fleet in ordinary. Upon these extraordinary facts being made known to our correspondent, he immediately took boat and pro ceeded as far towards the scene of folly as the "boats away guarding the creeks would allow him, and then, surely enough, he found the Excellent blazing away with live shell at the helpless old hulk, which, notwithstanding the full moon, was illuminated from stem to stern (!), to render her a more certain sacrifice to the famed profi ciency of the " Excellent" gunner. Having taken up a favourable position, he watched with chilly impatience for an hour and a half the progress of the firing, but not one of the fiery-tailed missiles did he see strike the illuminated target. Independently of the unnecessary alarm created ashore, great blame attaches to some one afloat, as, why were not the ships in ordinary (all having officers and men quartered in them) and the ordinary guard ship, Vic tory, let into the secret as well as the St. Vincent ? And why, again, did not the St. Vincent immediately com municate with her opposite neighbour when she heard the drums beat to quarters, instead of allowing the officers and crew of that ship to be disturbed from their rest, and the boats to be lowered and manned, and dis patched in various directions ? The Emerald tender, which returned yesterday from Devonport, was dispatched last evening to order the Nat.tilec an old coffin of the 10-gun class, from her sta tion off Brighton fisheries, into port, to be in readiness to take dispatches to Lisbon ! The Nautilus made Spit head about ten last night, and awaits orders. The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, arrived this morning from Rochefort, and_came into har bour to coal. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnstone, arrived at Cork from this port on Thursday last, and found there the Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master-Commander Aylon; the Acheron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Dunlop; the Dee steam-vessel, Master-Commander Driver; the Blazer steam-vessel, Captain Washington; and the Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jenkin; which vessels were about being sent to various ports along tho Irish coast with meal to relieve the prevailing distress, which is in creasing along the coast to the westward. The Sampson steam-frigate, Capt. Henderson, was at Valparaiso on the 27th July, all well. The Contest, 12, Commander Bl'Murdo, was in Fun chal Roads on the 4th of Sept., about to sail immediately for the coast of Africa. The Columbia steam surveyiug-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Shortland, was at Campo Bello on the 9th of October, and with no praspect of returning home for the next twelve months. Woor.wwil, Nov. 3.—The Belvidere, formerly a 36-gun frigate, and now converted into a store-ship, arrived at Woolwich to-day, having been towed up the river by the African steam-vessel. She will be taken to Deptford to receive stores for the poorer inhabitants of the western coast of Scotland. Captain Williams, late of the Avenger steam-frigate, with the other officers and crew of that ♦essel, arrived in the Belvidere, and the Captain and a part of the officers went on board the Amphion steam-frigate, to which they have been appointed. The Vixen steam-vessel has been taken into the west dock to have her defects made good. The Monkey steam-vessel was undocked to day. The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain Cragg, left Wool wich at eleven A.M., for Portsmouth, where she will be paid advance, and receive further orders. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, strived at Woolwich yesterday evening, and is taking in a fresh supply of coals. The Gladiator, Captain John Robb, on her arrival at Portsmouth, was ordered on an immediate particular service, and the orders for the embarkation of Major General Sir H. Pottinger and suite in her were counter manded. Subsequent orders have been issued, and Sir H. Pottinger, with Captain Young, of the Royal Artil lery, his aide-de-camp, will embark in th.i Pottinger, belonging to the Oriental Steam Company, for a passage to the Cape of Good Hope, that vessel proceeding round the Cape to India on her next voyage. A series of experiments have been made in the pre sence of a board of officers from her Majesty's dockyards to test the qualities of cables made by hand at Depcord dockyard, with cable of the same dimensions, made by machinery at Chatham dock> ard. The experiments were made with six fathoms of cable, of hand and ma chine make, and averaging from 15 to 16 inches in circumference. The experiments cannot be considered conclusive, as the machine-made gave the most satisfac factory results in the first instance, and at a later peri,d the hand-made had the advantage. It is, therefore, int' nded to repeat experiments of a similar nature before the report of the committee is given in to the Admiralty. The experiments took place at Woolwich dockyard, with BramAh's powerful hydraulic machine. HARWICH —On Tuesday the Mayor and Town Council of the Borough, gave a sumptuous entertainment to their worthy High Steward, J. liagshaw, Eta. Th,- dinner and winos were most excellent, and the whole afFair did great credit to Mrs. Bull, the excellent caterer of the Three Cups Hotel, where the dinner was given. The whole affair went oil in an excellent convivial way, the more so probably from its being the first occa,ion ut this Corporation ever entertaining their High Steward.— Ipvtich Express. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 555 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10:4d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 gi-; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at shot t being also 13 8L it follows that the price of gold is at pre sent the same at Hamburgh and London. The course of ex change at New York on London is 108.; per cent., and the par, of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follow:: that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. A VESTRY MEETING INTERLUDE.—THE DANGER OF CHUCKING UNDER THE CHIN A VESTRYMAN'S SERVANT MAID.—At a vestry meeting held on Tuesday in the St. Pancras Vestry-hall, Gordon-square, the fol- lowing interlude was performed between the solemn acts of discussing what was to be done with the Poor law Commissioners' report, touching the management of the pari s h wor kh ouse, an d the conuct of the officials. A candidate having been chosen agent of inquiry for the parish from a list of unsuccessful candidates read (amongst whom was a Mr. Pike), Mr. Douglas rose and moved that Mr. Pike be called in before the vestry, to give him an opportunity of explaining away a report that had been circulated, viz., that he had taken, during his canvass, indecent liberties with a vestryman's servant maid. The motion being seconded, ad( bate pro and con took place of far more farcical description than we ever witnessed en the mimic stage. During the discussion, however, the indecent liberties towards a vestryman's servant maid dwindled down to a charg e of having " chucked her under the chin." I n vain did Mr. Crouch and a few other members designate the motion as childish and disgraceful, as a frivolous waste of time, unworthy men with beards on their chins; it was carried by a triumphant majority, and Mr. Pike was called in, that he might have an opportunity of clearing his reputation from the heinous charge of having " chucked a vestryman's maid under the chin" while calling to solicit her master's vote. Mr. Pike, a stern iron-gray person, having been summoned before the vestry, and hearing the charge solemnly read to him by the chairman (Churchwarden Howarth), denied it in in dignantly sonorous sentences. "It is untrue," he ex claimed, "upon my honour ; in the presence of my God, it is untrue. I know myself better than to be guilty of so humiliating an act. I have more respect to myself than to chuck any servant-girl under the chin, and least of all, the servant of a vestryman of St. Pancras." This declaration seemed to satisfy the chairman and his fel low -vestrymen. They told Mr. Pike so, and ordered him to retire ; this he did, muttering as he squeezed himself between the folding-doors, that if he knew who it was who bad circulated the foul report, so fatal to his canvass for parochial office, he would kick --.

Although we are perfectly satisfied that there is not the slightest danger of an absolute scarcity of provisions:in England, we are, nevertheless, convinced that there is a necessity for the landowners throughout the island to bestir themselves. With the advance ment of the season the peasantry will require in creased assistance. We do not, however, wish this stricken to support themselves and their children during the inclemency of the winter. To form any adequate notion of the generosity evinced by this Nobleman, it must be remembered that the smaller tenantry of Sutherlandshire are in a more flourishing condition than thousands in other parts of the king dom. Upon the evidence of a most respectable and competent authority, the crofters and cotters of that district pay merely from ss. to 2s. 6d. the Scotch acre for arable land, and nothing whatever for land not arable. According to the same testimony, although these allotments are singularly diminutive, their holders are, notwithstanding, in a more prosper ous condition than the same classes in any other of the northern counties. It is to this generally flourishing population that the Duke of SUTHER LAND has written two generous, sensible, recommen datory, and encouraging addresses. His Grace ac knowledges the receipt of a petition from the parish of Clyne, and in reference to the nature of that petition he at once endeavours to disabuse the public mind of the erroneous impression that the potato murrain had proved wholly disastrous. He assures those who are filled with apprehension as to the consequence of the presumed universality of the disease, that he has ob tained elaborate reports upon the subject from every individual parish with which he is connected, that he has scrupulously considered and compared those re ports, and that he has the satisfaction of finding that they all, especially the more recent ones, concur in stating that the calamity is less extensive than was pre sumed. Considering the excellence and abundance of all other crops, and considering, moreover, that while the vegetable blight has " prevailed to a lamentable extent" in some directions, it has in others been scarcely apparent. The Noble Duke declares to his tenantry and vvorkpeople that he has " every reason to hope that there is no danger of famine." It is sifter this satisfactory commencement that his Grace enters upon the consideration of the pith of the emer- gency. To avert any grievous effects, he re commends every one most strenuously to eco nomise the provisions which are still remaining to them, and by that means to make up the deficiency. For example, he solicits all those who are " independent of potatoes as an article of food" to abstain from consuming what is to them a superfluity, hut what is a necessity to the indigent. In his own family and household he has adopted this course, and consequently does not recommend a practice which he is personally disinclined to follow. Immediately after this recommendation the Duke of SUTIIERLAND ob serves, " I fully concur in the opinion entertained by persons most competent to judge, that if, to meet an emergency, assistance becomes necessary to enable the labourer to provide food, a supply qf employment is most desirable." These words embody the principle upon which we would behold the behaviour of the landowners throughout the island modelled. Let-active and remunerative employment be given to the labourers, and the consequences of the present failure in the potato crop will be advantageous to the community, instead of being disastrous. Those whose allotments are nothing better than scenes of vegetable corruption will be enabled to purchase food from the neighbouring markets. Those who are w ithout allotments will, by a moderate increase in their wages, or, by a more continuous em- ployment, be enabled to compete with the higher prices of provisions. "If extraordinary necessities require unusual exertions, such will not be wanting," says the Duke of SUTHERLAND, and meanwhile employment will be afforded to those who are capable of bodily exertion, while to the help less poor certain quantities of meal will be portioned out by the parochial boards. Nothing could we' he devised of a more kindly or propitious character. By these arrangements relief will be lavished upon the necessitous without de- basing the industrious population into paupers. They will receive " a good day's wages for a good day's work," and with those wages compensate them selves for the failure of their allotments and for the unusual costliness of provisions. If the different landowners in England, Scotland, and Ireland would only emulate the generosity and foresight of his Grace the Duke of SUTHERLAND, the fears of the poorer classes would be speedily dissipated, and the pressure of the approaching winter altogether re moved. The subject recently introduced by Mr. STEWART, and which may be styled, after him, " A Free Trade in Land," cannot be suffered to drop until its vast im portance is thoroughly appreciated, and the public are made fully alive to the benefits that would be obtained by a thorough and searching reform of the law of real property. On Saturday we alluded to the mischiefs occasioned by the restrictions attendant on the transfer or sale of land, both as to the great expense and as to the un certainty of title. The owner of the soil is thereby prevented from obtaining a sum of money on the security of his lands, except at an expense of so exor bitant a character, that it acts as a total bar to his adopting such a course for any temporary accommo dation. He may often be seriously embarrassed and in convenienced for the want of such accommodation, and yet, with the means within his power, he is debarred by the inequitable provisions of the law from availing himself thereof ; and improvements are neglected that would otherwise have been carried into execution, and the productive qualities of the soil are not de veloped to the extent that would otherwise have been the case. When the fearful character of the visita tion by which our Irish brethren were afflicted be came fully known, when the enormous amount of destitution was understood, and the means of profit able employment for the multitude, in order that by their labour the national wealth might be increased and multiplied, in place of being unprofitably con sumed, was anxiously canvassed and considered, the eyes of all were directed to the waste lands of the country. It appeared almost providential that there should be six million acres of land yet untouched by the spade or plough, of which more than four million acres could be reclaimed and brought into cultivation at a moderate expenditure, and which would undoubt edly repay from 10 to 20 per cent. on the money expended in the improvement. It appeared miracu lous that in a country where labour was so cheap and abundant the land had been so long suffered to lie idle and unproductive, but the letter of Mr. O'CONNELL— a sound and practical lawyer— explained the anomaly, and wh7 it was that so little had hitherto been done, ' assurance to be understood in its ordinary acceptation. ; The assistance demanded by the poorer classes is not such as would be afforded to a mendicant, but such as may be implied in a simple case of bartering. The landlords will not be expected to employ almoners for the relief of their destitute or necessitous dependents—they will only be expected to exhibit a little more enter prise, and, in circumstances of emergency, a trifle more liberality in the prosecution of their common avocations. 'We would on no account whatever see the farm-labourers degenerated into the recipients of a bounty supplied by eleemosynary institutions, even though these institutions were of merely temporary establishment. The needy peasant should receive such assistance only as would prove equally advan tageous and remunerative to the donor and the donee. In this particular, indeed, the English landowner should take example from Government in its mode of admi nistering relief to the Irish population. They should thereby recognise the fact, that starvation is best pre vented not by pecuniary gifts, not by distributing pre sents of meal to the famishing, but byaffording each indi vidual such employment as would enable him to pur chase provisions for himself and his family. In other language, the impoverished tenants should not so much be dragged out of the abyss of their afflictions, as enabled to redeem their own position by honest toil ; they should not so much be extricated from their difficulties as enabled to extricate themselves. Two addresses, recently addressed to his smaller tenantry and workpeople by his Grace the Duke of SUTHERLAND, and already published in The Sun of the 2d instant, are so perfectly in accordance with these views that we should feel ourselves in some measure culpable if we allowed them to go unnoticed. Those addresses are most honourable to the Noble Duke; they redound equally to the credit of his intelligence and his benevolence. Gladly would we recognise all the landlords of the United Kingdom emulating the conduct of the D uke of SUTHERLAND, evincing both in word and action the same paternal solicitude for the prosperity of their tenants and labourers, striving with equal earnest ness to dissipate the apprehensions of the community and presenting similar opportunities to the poverty- The expense of transfer consists of the costs of the necessary deeds of conveyance, which, in the absence of any special agreement, are usually defrayed by the purchaser, and of the deduction of title, which is borne by the vendor ; practically, how ever, all the expense falls on the latter. The purchaser knows that he has to pay not merely the sum agreed on, but also an unascertained amount which he naturally calculated at the highest possible point, and deducts from what be would otherwise bid for the property. This expense is of a twofold cha racter—the first occasionedby the high and exorbitant amount of stamp duty, and, secondly, to the verbose and prolix terms in which the deeds of conveyance are couched. Most beneficial alterations might be made in both these respects, without any loss to the revenue or the parties by whom the deeds are prepared; but the most important of all the changes will be in the simplifying the titles, and having the necessary inquiry shortened and made at the same time cheaper and more satisfactory. We shall;shortly offer a few suggestions by which we conceive these great points may be attained. Letters from Zurich state that the Government of the canton of Lucerne has sent circulars to the Go vernments of the other cantons, declaring that it does not recognise the new Government of Geneva. This is un pee fort on the part of the Jesuit rulers of Lucerne, who themselves owe all their power to a revo lution, in which, with the aid of the ignorant peasantry of the small mountain cantons, they overturned by force the Liberal Government previously existing and usurped all the powers of the State. Madrid papers of the 26it 1, 27th, and 28th ult. have arrived. The Gaceta of the 28th publishes a dispatch from the Captain-General of Saragossa, announcing the complete restoration of tranquillity in that city. Twenty-four persons were arrested, and sixty stands of arms seized. The object of the revolters was to proclaim the constitution of 1837. The British squadron sailed form Cadiz on the 21st in a westerly direction, supposed for Lisbon. The accounts from Portugal are to the 21st. The Diario of that date mentions generally that the cause of the Government was going on well, but did not mention a single fact to bear out the statement. The Spanish Ileraldo, on the authority of a letter from Vigo of the 22d, declares that Oporto has recognised the Lisbon Government. This state ment, however, is exceedingly improbable. On the other hand, the Clamor Publico declares that the insurrection was spreading in every direction, that the Count DAS ANTAs, at the head of 2,500 men, had entered Coimbra, and was marching oia Lisbon. The same journal publishes a letter, dated Lisbon, October 21st, which states that the Ist regiment of infantry, only 400 strong, had left for Santarem, and was accompanied by the KING as far as the place of embarkation. Ilis MAJESTY, says the writer, met with a cold reception from the people, and returned to the palace in a state of dis couragement. Another account, in the same jour nal, states that the junta of Oporto was proceeding actively in the organization of troops, and that the insurrection was spreading on every point. It is added, that the 11th regiment of infantry, which had left Elvas by an order from the Government, had, on its arrival at Estremoz, declared itself for the insurgents and marched for Evora. Their example, it is said, has been followed by the 12th Regiment. It is reported that the inhabitants of Alentejo have joined the insurrection, and formed themselves into regi ments, that a junta has been established at 13(ja, and that Marvao and Port Alegre have pronouncrd against the Government. MA D R ID BOLSA, OCT. 28.--The Three p e r C en t s . were done at 3411 for cash, and 34i for paper. The other securities had not changed. Monday, being All Saintsi-day, was observed as a close holiday in Paris. The only paper published on that day was the Courrier Francais, which does not contain any news that could interest the English reader. King LEOPOLD was to leave Paris for Brussels on Tuesday morning. Marrhal BUGEAUD was expected at Marseilles on the 30th ult., to embark on board the Chameleon steamer, for Algiers. The Illarseilles Courrier of the 29th ult. says— " The favourable weather of yesterday has brought into our port a considerable number of vessels laden with corn. In the course of the evening 18 entered on qua rantine, and 28 with a clean bill of health. Letters from Constantinople, by the last packet, state that 115 vessels laden with corn had sailed for Marseilles." In the Semaphore de Marseilles of the same date we find the following extract of a letter from Smyrna, of the 10th of October : " The Austrian steamer, which reached Constantinoplc , yesterday morning, brought advices from Tenedos, stat ing that an English schooner, the name of which escapes us, commanded by Captain Alexander Jones, lying at anchor opposite that island on the coast of Troy, had been boarded by pirates on the night of the 11th. The seamen on guard having been murdered, and the re • mainder of the crew confined to the hold, the vessel was stripped of all its rigging and valuable articles, &c., and the captain of his money. It was believed that this act of piracy was committed by the crew of one of the Greek vessels anchored close by us." The following accounts extracted from the French provincial journals will give some idea of the horrible destruction of life and property occasioned by the in undations : " Official documents declare that the loss at Roinne alone of houses carried away by the late inundations amounts to 200, and this number is being daily aug mented. Not less than 2,000 persons are without food or raiment ; and to this amount must be added sixty Cainilies belonging to the neighbouring communes. " A letter from Cosne, dated the 24 th ult., and published in the Province, a journal of Moulins (Allier), contains the following picture of horrors not before mentioned, but which it is to be hoped are greatly exaggerated : We have acquired the lamentable certainty that the small town of Saint Firtnin, above Briar°, containing about 600 souls, has been entirely engulphed, and that the whole population have perished ! This horrible news which was first circulated on the 21st, is this day con firmed by a letter from the President of the Tribunal at Gien, which states that the banks are covered with dead bodies. The inhabitants surprised in their beds were unable to find any means of escape. The banks being broken down let in the body of the river at the back of the town, so that these unfortunate beings were com pletely surrounded by a torrent, which every minute narrowed its inner circle, and at last completely covered them.' " The little commune of Epereieu-St.-Paul, near Peurs, has lost 42 houses out of 91. Upwards of 40 im portant domains have been ravaged between Moutrond and Fours, on the two banks of the Loire. At -Van- or could now be done, with respect thereto, viz., the delay, difficulty, and expo nse attendant on the making out and establishing a clear and marketable title, which should be deduced before capital ists would consent to employ their wealth in the speculation. The owner had not the means himself, and could not obtain the co-operation of others from the legal impediments that exist. For the same reasons fourteen millions of acres of land at present in tillage, but undrained, unfenced, wanting the necessary farm-buildings, and not producing one quarter of what might be obtained under a better system, are suffered to remain without the improve ments that would otherwis e most probably have been effected. But this is not all the mischief. The value of the land is materially decreased ; a large class of persons, who would gladly invest their money, are deterred from entering the market as purchasers. Mr, STEWART has put this simply and well. He says—" The greater the facility you can get in dispos ing of the land, the higher will be its value. The greater ease, the less expense which attends its transfer, the greater will be the number of persons who will be disposed to deal in it, and if they can part with it again as readily as they have acquired it, the less hesitation Kill they have in purchasing it." Every legal practitioner is aware that there are vast numbers of landed properties, which, although they can be enjoyed with perfect security, cannot readily be disposed of; there is what is technically termed a flaw in,or a blot on the title ; and if the owner can, by any possibility, find a purchaser, it will only be at a loss of several years' purchase-money. Every condition of sale also lessens the value; the person about to buy regards not merely the present interest, dividend, or annual pro duce that he can obtain for his capital during the period he chooses to employ it in a prac tical channel, but, also, that should he desire to realise it, and to call in his money, he may do so with facility, and obtain the full amount expended. Any thing, therefore, that is calculated to deter future pur chasers diminishes the value of the property to him, although at the time he may have no idea of disposing thereof. chetto all the inhabitants of the low grounds were forced to fly, and scarcely had they escaped when their houses were inundated. The water was in general three feet higher than in November, 1790." Intelligence has been received from Algeria to the 24th October. The Echo d' Oran of that date has the following : Yesterday a column of troops marched from Oran, and this morning the commander of the province set out to place himself at its head. The departure of that co lumn in the direction of Sidi Bel Abbes had already caused some uneasiness, when a report arrived that a grand razzia had been executed in the territory of the Ouled Slimans, that a body of cavalry intercepted the road between Oran and Tlemcen, and, finally, that the latter was seriously menaced. We are enabled to ex pose the facts in their real light. The news of a move ment of the Emir towards the tableland, to effect a raz zia in tne Sahara, in the country of the lietnaines Che ragas, is considered the more probable, as advice of that movement has been given by those who were to suffer from it. Later it became known that the Maia-Angads of Morocco were preparing for a coup de main. A corps of cavalry of theirs, consisting of 300 or 400 men, had even commenced its march. On the side of Tlemcen, Bou Maze, having failed to induce the Beni Snassens to join his standard, is now tampering with the Beni Snous and Beni Bou Saids. Everything tray be expected from that fanatic ; and it would not be astonishinc , that he prevailed upon those weaken e d t r ib es t o f o ll ow him, and thus intercept the communications with Tlemcen." The Paris Bourse was agitated on Monday: Finding the Government party too strong to allow the Funds to go down, the speculators for the fall (Bears) turned all their attention and all their malignity towards the share market, and suc ceeded in depressing the shares of nearly . all the lines in France. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Mon day at 82f. 70c. ; the Five per Cents., 117 f. 85c.; the Or leans Railroad Shares, 1,235 f. ; Rouen, 905 f. ; Havre, 6831. 75c. ; Great Northern, 665 f. ; Avignon, 872 f. 50c.; Vier zon, 572 E 50c. ; Bordeaux, 532 f. 50c.; Basle, 218 f. 75e.; Fampeux, 400 E ; Paris and Strasburg, 482 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 490 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 500 f. ; Lyons and Avignon, 4901. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 4751.; Spanish Do mestic Debt, 33.

DESTRUCTION OF THE GARRICK TIIE A.TRE BY FIRE.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, between the hours of four and five, Police-constable 96 11, whilst passing along his beat, dis covered smoke and sparks issuing from the Garrick Theate, in Leman-street, Goodman's-fields. This satis fied the officer that a fire was raging within the theatre. Without a moment's loss of time an alarm was spread in the usual way, but before any of the inhabitants could be aroused from their slumbers the fire burst through the roof, and, in the brief space of ten minutes, at least one-half of the building became envelored in flame. An instant attempt was made to get the fire subdued, but upon an entry into the theatre being made it became a matter of certainty that, at least, the entire structure must :fall a prey to the destructive element. The Brigade engines from Wellclose and Jeffrey-squares stations were the first that arrived, and without delay the same were set to work, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the district. By that period, how . ver, the whole tier of boxes, together with the gallery, were wrapped in fire, and as the burning flakes fell below they communicated with the pit and mazarine floors, so that, by the hour of five or a little after, the theatre was on fire from the basement to the ton of the roof. The great number of scenes and other combustible articles in the building proved such a powerful auxiliary to the flames that when the roof fell in the fire mounted several yards above the level of the house-tops in the sur rounding street. Other engines of the London Brigade, with Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, the West of Eng land Company's engine and firemen, with Mr. Connorton, and the County engine, with Mr. Garwood, arrived ene after the other in rapid succession. The mains of the East London works afforded an abundant supply of water, which was scattered over the fire, and the several surrounding habitations. This had the desired effect of cutting off the progress of the fire just as it had com municated with the Jews' Orphan Asylum in the Tenter ground, and the gun factory of Mr. Scott. No sooner had the firemen succeeded in damping the fire in the direction before spoken of than their endeavours were directed towards saving the Garrick Tavern, which they accomplished by leading the hose through the theatre, and directing the branches against the back front. The damage, however, done to the three latter buildings is very considerable. 13y nine o'clock the firemen succeeded in getting the flames entirely extinguished; by that hour the theatre was entirely consumed, and the valuable wardrobe de stroyed; the whole of the scenery and stage appoint ments are likewise burned—by which calamity we regret to state that about fifty performers will be thrown out of employment. As to the origin of the fire nothing that couki be de pended upon could be ascertained, but it is the prevailing opinion that it arose from some of the gun wa4ding lodging in the " flats" during the firing of cannon et 'he perfortmnee of the Bottle of Waterloo on the pre vious evening. When the theatre was closed, between twelve ard one this morning, the place appeared quite afe and free from lire. Whilst the firemen were directing the water on the theatre the outer wall in the. 'renter-ground fell with an awful crash ; the police and fir,rnen had barely suffi cient time to get Out of the way, when the same fell and completely blocked up the road-way. As it was, ono of the police-constables was severely injured, and was obliged to be removed to the London Llospital, weere he at present remains. Although the lessees of the theatre are insured, we understand that their loss will far exceed the amount of their policies, to say nothing of the serious destruction of property belonging to the corps dramaliquc. IMPEIUA Q. PA RI lAMENT (THIS I)AY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Parliament was prorogued to.day by Commission to the 12th of January, 1847. Shortly after halt-past two o'clock the Lord Chan cellor, the Earl of Auckland, and Lord Campbell, robed as Lords Commissioners, took their seats in the House of Lords, fur the purpose of further proroguing Parliament. Mr. Pulman, the Deputy Usher of the Black lid, was then commanded by their Lordships to summon the Commons to the Bar to hear the Commission for pro roguing Parliament read. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Wm. Ley, attended by seve ral of the officers of the House of Commons, appeared at the Bar, and the Commission having been read by the Clerk at the table, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in her Majesty's name, declared the present Parliament prorogued to Tuesday, the 12th of January next, and it was prorogued ac cordingly. There was not a single Member of the House of Com mons present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (RECEIVED THIS DAY: ) NEWMARKET COURSING. MEETING.—TUESDAY, THE DERBY.

A SlDE.—These opponent stars of the East and West brought their differences of opinion, as to the better man, to an issue yesterday, at Dartford-level, Long Reach. The muster of, sages of; the East and denizens of " the far West" was extraordinary. The orientala, however, prepon • derated. Fifteen rounds sufficed to settle the question of the Israelite's capabilities for contest ; and at the end of forty-seven minutes, the sponge being thrown up from Hazeltine's corner, as the • signal of defeat, the West minster hero was hailed as conqueror. We cannot close this brief paragraph without adding a line in commen dation of the vast body of the friends of Hazeltine who were present, whose wise conduct and quiet submission to " the fortune of war" did every credit to their love of fair play and good order, even under trying and adverse circumstances.

The foreign trade of the country appears to be annually increasing, and the total amount represented thereby was, last year, 677 millions of francs, the imports being reckoned in that amount for 367 k millions. On the year 1844 this shows an increase of 19 per cent. The exports in 1845 were for 3091 millions of franc 4, being an increase of 9 per cent., and of this amount Belgian pro ducts are represented by the sum of 184* millions of francs. The foreign commerce of 1845 was carried on to the amount of 299 millions of francs by sea, and 378 millions by land ; the Belgian shipping employed carrying to the amount of 82i millions of francs, and the foreign 2161 millions. The English vessels form a pro portion of this foreign tonnage of 861 per cent., the American of 12i, the African and Asian of 1-10th, and the French of 24-100th. The following is an extract of a letter received by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, dated Cork, Oct. 27: "The corn market here is steadily advancing. Prime wheat being worth 355. to 365. per bag of 2i- cwt. " I consider the remarks of the Times some days past extremely probable that wheat will bring 5/. per quarter before next August. " In fact, the deficiency to be made good is greater than is generally known, and in all likelihood this de ficiency cannot be made up in corn, therefore other era• cles of consumption will• be brought into consumption, such as American beef, pork, cheese, rice, &c. " At present these articles are not much sought for, as the farmers, for want of feeding for their cattle and foals, are forcing them to market, to g e t r id o f th em ; so that about January or February next, I calculate that holders of the above stuff, or of the like sorts, will obtain good prices." The funds have not been quite so well supported to day, there having been a slight diminution in the amount of the purchases. Consols for present transfer have realised 94g and for time 941 a. Exchequer Bills have been marked 7s. to 10s., and East India Bonds under 10001., 18s. premium. The market for the Un funded Debt seems rather weak. Bank Stock is quiet at 205. Tne foreign investments have been rather neglected. Spanish Three per Cents are 37 to 37*. and Portuguese Four per Cents. 381 to 39. Brazilian New Bonds have been at 84. Equador stock is again at 3i. The merchants and others interested in the South American trade have signed a memorial to Lord Pal merston, praying the interference of Government against the expedition fitting out here and in Spain, under General Flores, against the republic of Equador. Shares are again very firm. Aberdeen have touched par, Caledonian discount, Scottish Midland 4 prem., and North British 38i. BUITISH. FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)
