From various paragraphs during the last few days both in the London and continental papers, on the present condition of the Bank of France, an impre , sion seems generally to prevail, that in the year 1839 the Bank of England obtained relief from danger by a loan from that institution, and opinions are consequently express,d that if similar aid should now be required in re:urn, it could not with propriety be refused. The idea, however, of a loan having at any time been made by the Bank of France to the Bank of England i 3 altogether erroneous. Bop, Thomas Mitchell..

There is a greater number of candidates for the Pre sidency at present than there ever has been at any former period. Unless the names be cast into a hat, and a selection be made at random, we know not how any satisfactory adjustment of the opposing claims can be made. A day or two ago we gave the names of a batch of candidates, but we did not give half the number of aspirants. We will now give them in tabular form : Names. States. Polities. Daniel Webster •.. Massachusets ... Whig. Lewis Cass ... ... Michigan ... ... Democrat. Silas Wright .. ... New York... ... Democrat. John , I. Clayton ... Delaware ... ... Whig. John C. Calhoun ... South Carolina ... Democrat. -amuel Houston ... Texas ... ... ... Democrat. Henry Clay ... ... Kentucky ... ... Whi g . J. J. Crittenden ... Kentucky .. ... Whig. John M‘Lane ... Ohio ... ... ... Whig. Winfield Scott ... U.S.A. ... ... Whig. Of the two first we have hitherto spoken. Of Silas :Fright it may be said that his chances were much treater before the late electhai than now. There is no ,ort of doubt that Mr. Wright possesses talent. It is m , st unfortenate for him that he was ever allied with The faction known by the name of the " Albany Re . 4., ney." Thar, faction now hangs like a millstone round his neck. Could he escape from its influence, his pro ;;e-cts would perhaps he far better than at present. John M. Clayton is a man of talent, and would run well ,or the vice presidency. We do not think there is any .erious id , aof running him for the presidency. Mr. t lallioun's claims are of no ordinary character. tle has Well now more than 20 years before the people, and is vit hall a man of powerful intellect and great purity of !hiracter. He has many Criends, who will doubtless :lake a hard posh to secure his election. Sam lions chances are by no means to be over :.,,.k,-(1. He has a great many warm friends, and the ornantic characte p r aa u rs. f ttyr h o is i li ty t h e oet t e ,h p. rows a good deal of in ,,erest around his name. He is a different man from the `.; 1111 II . ustnn of 20 years ago, and his popularity in ome sections of the country is unbounded. He would .innmand a strong vote in Tennessee, of which he was •nce•the governor; and the war party all over the coun ry,remembsring his conduct at San Jacinto, would give , am strong support. We need scarcely say that Henry . lay is still looked to by a large portion of the Whig party, as an available candidate. The old man still omsesses the affections of the progressive portion of the Whigs, and should he not decline a nomination, would, in all probability,. distance all competitors of his own party.

The village ALARMIMG PREVALENCE OF FEVER .' of Upton, near Blewbury, Berks, has had an awful visi t': u t ffi a c i e v n e t r very for dull t h e s i r u sugar mar market ; the trade an p r t i a c a e e s tation, by the spread of a contagious fever. It first ma nifested itself about a month ago in a cottager's family, family, and such has been its rapid and extensive spread since, that up to Saturday last not fewer than thirty two deaths had arisen in consequence, and these out of a village population of 150. The disease, we re tzret to add, is still raging, and such general alarm has been created from so destructive an enemy, that many of the villagers have begun to change their dwellings to the neighbouring downs ; and it is expected, from the re movals, which are now pretty generally taking place, that the village will shortly be deserted. The numbers of persons who have thus been carried off ate chiefly of the humble labouring class, some of whom are bewil dered in distress from the additional painful circumstance that the head of a family, who had been its chief support, tpts been cut off. The cause of this calamity is so clearly ar.:nifest that the authorities have not deemed it necessary to institute any inquiry, or to hold an inquest in eith,r case ; the only Inyntery is that tte contagion should have shown itself in a situation where the climate is con sidered to be so remarkably healthy. The enragement of the disease is ascribed to the difficulties in procuring medical attendance at such a desolate place of abode. We may remark that this infectious disease has so ex tended .t,elf as to be vik wed in the district as a second great plague. The melancholy event has excited much commisspration for the distressed objects.—Devizes Gazette Sir James Hamilton was the chairman. Some of the minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed, when that relative to the communication from the Poor-law Commissioners, was read for confirmation, a discussion ensued relative to it. Mr. Mscns asked what was to be done with that com munication. He apprehended that it should be an swered in the way that all such communications to that board from the Poor-law Commissioners had hitherto been answered—in a way to show them that no direct interference on their part in the affairs of that parish would he sanctioned by that board. The Commissioners asked to be furnished, amongst other information, with the books, registers, diaries, and dccuments used by that board, which was a stretch of authority he would not yield to. He had no objection for the Commissioners to see such books as would enable them to judge of the general management of the parish; but he would not accede to their request to be furnished with what they had no right to ask for. The CHAIRMAN—That is something like throwing de fiance at the Commissioners. Mr. MECHI—Just so. I, for one, as a guardian of this parish, will never consent to be governed by the Poor law Commissioners, and if they should ever attain the power in this parish at which they are aiming, I shall cease to be a guardian or director. Mr. POTTER said that he hoped the Commissioners would be now met with the same spirit that had been hitherto opposed to them. He begged to move, there fore, that the letter in question be referred to a com. mittee, and they be requested to prepare an answer to it. Mr. MEcni seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. A committee was then appointetiosensisting of the following gentlemen BtiPlingr, Mt. Ander son, Mr. Mechi, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Potter. After the transaction of much local business the board separated. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX M A GISTRATES.-FRID AY. The report of the visiting justices of the Westminster Bridewell was read. It appeared that in the cases of cer tain juvenile criminals who were too young, or in other respects unfitted for Parkhurst, a sentence of imprisonment had been substituted for a sentence of transportation. A warrant had been transmitted from the Home-o ffi ce for their reception into this prison, which it was intimated in the communication from the Home-o ffi ce would not cause any augmentation in the county-rate, as the addi tional expenditure occasioned by their maintenance would be defrayed by Government out of a sum voted by Parliament last ses s ion for such purposes. If this system is acted upon it will virtually put a stop to the trans p o rtation of certain classes of young offenders. The report gave some detail of the increased duties devolving upon the officers of this establishment, and especially upon the govern or, since the demolition of the ne w prison, which gave r ise to the necessity ad interim o f constituting it a reception prison ; and concluded by stating that the Governor (Lieutenant Tracy) had dis charged his arduous superintendence of the two depart ments of the prison in a manner which entitled him to augmented confidence and the highest commendation. The visiting justices h ad spontaneously, in the Gover nor's absence, deemed it their duty to record this fact, and to recommend the court to present him with the sum of 1001. Mr. WlLas then moved that the court concur with the visiting justices of the Westminster Bridewell, in the expressions of approval of the manner in which Lientenant Tracy, the governor, had superintended that prison during the past year, and ably and discreetly met the extraordinary duties imposed oh him, in consequence of the vast number of 6,300 prisoners, who would have gone to the new prison, having been committed to that gaol, and under circumstances that required special vi gilance and prudence in him, and that as a proof of the particular approval of the court he be presented with a gratuity of 1001. The motion was seconded and agreed to. A vote of 1001., under similar circnmstances, was carried to John Levis, Esq., the surgeon; of 501. to the chief warder, Mr. Cree; and of 201. each to the gate porters. Tt e salary of Mr. George Hoare, the chief warder of the Middlesex House of Correction, was augmented from 2001. to. 250/. per annum, after some debate. There were nearly 60 magistrates present, and only three dissentients. - - GRAND JURIES. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE moved, pursuant to notice that several presentments of the grand juries with re• spect to their duties be referred to a committee to report upon to the court. He briefly referred to some facts which had come under his notice while presiding in that court to show that grand juries were often a mode by which villains escaped. A short time ago he had impounded a document, which was a written agreement between certain parties that a sum o f money should be paid to a witness, in the event of his varying his evidence before the grand jury, so as to obtain the acquittal of the accused. In another case there was a notorious offender, a woman who had been five times indicted before the grand jury, and every time the bill had been ignored. This was certainly un accountable, and it was equally s t r ange that in other ca ses they not unfrequently found a true bill when there was no evidence at all.—(Hear, hear.) After animad verting upon some of the City authorities, to whom he had written upon the subject, and who had not had the courtesy to answer his communication, be moved the appointment of a committee, and expressed a hope that the legal members of the bench would afford their assistance. Mr. LAURIE threw out some practical suggestions on the subject. He had made a motion in that Court some years ago, that a clerk should attend the grand juries, which had been carried, but it was singular that it had never been acted upon. Since that course had been adopted at the Central Criminal Court the number of bills thrown out had decreased from twelve per cent. to five per cent. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE feared that that plan would not be of the same value in the small cases tried in that court as it was in the cases of greater magnitude tried at the Old Bailey. The motion was agreed to nem. con., and a committee nominated.—Adjourned. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY FOR DECEMI3ER.--1 He power which a really accomplished writer exerc i ses over his readers is strikingly exemp lified in Fenimore Cooper's new romance, " Captain Spi ke ; or, the the Gulf." In the portion which be h as yet given to the Islet of public, through the medium of this Magazine, no extra ordinary incident is narrated, no monstrous c haracter is introduced, no trick is played off to elect rif y or galvanise the spectator. A rakish, suspicious looking craft, com manded by a regular sea-dog of a captain, is highly de scribed working out to sea in a manner to keep . clear of an impertinent revenue steamer; and yet such is the art with which the manoeuvres on board are related, that even the most determined landsman is excite d , despite of himself, and feels an unaccountable interest in the fate of the impudent Molly Swarth, her Captain, and her crew. Maxwell's story of " Brian O'Lin n, " is as rollick ing a picture of life ashore as Cooper's ro mance is of life at sea. " Long Jim" is an amusing sketch of that most despised and terribly hunted biped, a Tipperary process-server.

Dec. 1 Nov. 2? THE ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE. ARUNDEL, FRIDAY.—The Queen has expressed her self highly pleased with the visit to Petworth House yesterday, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort was equally gratified in viewing the rare assemblage of works of art brought together in that splendid seat. Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham received the illustrious party, which comprised, in addition to the Queen and Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Caroline Laveson Gower, the Duchess of Bedford, the Marchioness of Douro, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Viscount Morpeth, and the Hon. Miss Napier. Her Majesty and the Royal Prince were conducted over the principal suite of rooms by the Gallant Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham. After the planting cf the trees yesterday afternoon, the Queen and Prince were conducted to the orangery, by the Duke of Norfolk, from whence her Majesty and party proceeded to the ancient church, and inspected what remains of its former splendour and architectural magnificence. Most of the interior of the building is in a state of decay, originating in rough treatment by the soldiers of Oliver Cromwell, who deprived the splendid tombs of all their enrichments, and converted the edifice into a stable. It was nearly five o'clock before the royal party left the church, on return to the Castle. The Duke of Wellington, when out riding yesterday, proceeded as far as Littlehampton, and visited the bat tery at the mouth of the river Arun His Grace, who was accompanied by the Countess of Ellesmere, was received by Lieutenant A. Wall, of the Coast Guard, of whom the Noble and Gallant Duke made numerous inquiries. The Earl and Countess of March, the high sheriff of the county, Mr. W. T. Mitford, the Rev. G. A. F. Hart, and the Rev. M. A. Tierney, had the honour to join the dinner circle last evening. The party at the banquet was in other respects precisely the same as on the previous evening. The Queen retired shortly before ten o'clock to the state saloon, where her Majesty and the ladies were subsequently joined by Prince Albert and the remaining guests. The Distin Family, the well-known performers on the Sax horns, had the honour to play a selection of their favourite pieces to the royal circle. Miss Loder also performed on the pianoforte in the presence of the Queen. At the conclusion of the first part of the programme the Distins retired for a brief interval. Her Majesty and the illustrious party then joined in a "carpet dance," the Queen and the Earl of Arundel and Surrey opening the quadrille with Prince Albert and Lady Adeliza Howard, vis d vis. The military band was stationed in the corridor. The royal party again commanded the attendance of the Distin Family, when the remaining portion of the programme was concluded. A country dance then took place in the library ; the dance comprising eleven couple. Her Majesty gave her hand to the Duke of Norfolk, and Prince Albert danced with Lady Mary Howard. After partaking of refreshments in the corridor at twelve o'clock, the festivities terminated by the retire ment of her Majesty and the Prince Consort to their private apartments. This morning the Duke of Wellington took his de parture for town shortly after nine o'clock, the Noble and Gallant Duke proceeding on horseback to the rail way station at Littlehampton. Lord and Lady John Russell left for the metropolis previous to the departure of her Majesty, and Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston closed their visit this after noon. At half-past nine all was in preparation for the Queen and Prince Albert departing for Osborne House. A troop of the Arundel and Bramber Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Captain Sir Dent Goring, Bart , with the full band of the corps, mounted, entered the quadrangle, and took up a position directly in front of the porch which forms the principal entrance to the castle. Captain John Abel Smith, M.P., Captain Evans. Lieutenant M. T. Smith, Mr. Montefiore, Mr. Grey, Mr. Gratwicke, and other officers of the regiment, were also present in full uniform. The royal carriage entered the court-yard a few minutes before ten, and punctually at that hour the Queen, attended by the Duke of Norfolk, followed by Prince Albert and the Duchess of Norfolk, descended from the staircase, and after taking a final leave of the Duchess, her Majesty and the Prince Consort entered the carriage, the band striking up the National Anthem. A royal salute was fired from the artillery in the park on the departure of the august visitors, and the royal standard, which had floated from the keep, was lowered as the royal carriage passed the precincts of the castle. In the other royal carriage were the Marchioness of Douro and the Hon. Miss Napier, lady in waiting and maid of honour to the Queen, and the equerries in at tendance, Lieutenant-Colonel the lion. Charles B. Phipps and Colonel Bouverie. The Duke of Norfolk, on his illustrious visitors enter ing the royal carriage, mounted his horse to precede the Queen as far as Chichester, and would afterwards ac company her Majesty to Portsmouth. Tae Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Duchess of Sutherland, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl and Countess of Elles mere, Viscount Morpeth, and Lord Brooke remain at the Castle until to-morrow, when the party will se parate. RETURN OF THE COURT TO OSBORNE HOUSE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 4.—Her Majesty and Prince Al bert, attended by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, the Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Napier, Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and others of the royal suite, and attendants, returned to Portsmouth, from Arundel, this day at a quarter before one o'clock. The Royal party travelled in three carriages, and were escorted into the garrison by a detachment of the 12th royal Lancers. Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.8., and his aide-de-camp, met her Ma jesty about half a mile outside the Portsea fortifications, and then led the escort into the dockyard. On her Ma jesty passing through Lion-gate, the royal standard was hoisted. Her Majesty and the Prince and suite passed to the King's stairs in the dockyard by the same route as on Tuesday. Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Rear-Admiral Par ker, the captains and commanders of the ships in the port, in full uniform; the officers of the Dockyard, the field officers of the Engineers, Artillery, 2d and 13th Regi ments, and Royal Marines, were drawn up in attendance at the King's stairs to receive her Majesty, and a guard of honour, furnished by the Royal Marine Artil lery companies. The carriage in which her Majesty and Prince Albert travelled was driven up close to the passage leading to the stairs, and in two minutes her Majesty, the Prince (having previously spoken to the Admiral and General), and suite, were in the royal barge, and the standard hoisted. The barge was steered to the Fairy yacht by Captain the Right Hon. Lord A. Fitzclarence, and the royal party stepped on board cheered by the crews of the ships, and the numerous spectators that were assembled in the dockyard. On the royal standard being displayed, her Majesty's ships St. Vincent, Victory, and Excellent fired royal salutes; all the ships in the harbour were dressed with flags. The Fairy slipped the buoy rope at one o'clock, and in a few minutes was out of harbour, cheered as she passed the ships by their crews, who manned yards. At half-past one o'clock the Fairy yacht was off Osborne Creek, the tide admitting the royal party to land at that jetty. The streets of Portsea, through which her Majesty passed, and the dockyard were crowded with people, who cordially welcomed her Majesty on her return ; many houses were decorated with flags and evergreens, and the approaches to the dockyard gates were kept clear through the arrangements of the local police. Her Majesty looked remarkably well. His Grace the Duke of Norfolk having taken leave of her Majesty and the Prince on the stepping into the royal barge, returned immediately to Arund Castle in one of the royal car riages, and the detachment of the 12th Lancers will go back to Hounslow to-morrow.

They appear quite unable to stand the smell, and bolt out immediately in the face of dog or man, rather than put up with it. Tobacco smoke will also bring a ferret out of a rabbit hole, when everything else fails to do so.—St. John's Wild Sports of the High ' lands. In July, 1839. the bullion in the Bank of England had fallen below 3,000,0001, sterling, while its rate of discount was as high as 51 per cent. It was evident that the causes for the existing drain consisted more in distrust abroad, funnded on a belief that the Bank of England could not lung continue specie payments, than in an un favourable balance of trade, or a tun for sovereigns to hoard at home. Partied on the continent drew our all their balances here, and as much more as their corres pondents would give them credit for, discounted the acceptances in London, and, in the absence of foreign bills, took gold from the Bank of England. Under these circumstances, it was impossible that exports of produce and manufactures from England could take place immediately to a sufficient extent to counteract the evil ; but it was seen that the difficulty would be nut if a temporary creation of bills on the continent could be effected. With this view, the Bank of England engaged to transfer English securities as a guarantee to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., or those whom they should name, and this house arranged to draw three months' bills for 40,000,000 f. on various houses in Paris. These bills, which Baring, Brothers, and Co., negotiated upon 'Change (paying the proceeds into the Bank, so as gradually to act upon the circula tion), fully supplied the trade demand for remittances hence, and equally served to meet all paper on Eng land remitted here 'for returns, as they proved a better return than gold. At the end of three months, when the acceptances fell due, the same amount was redrawn, so as to cover each acceptor by bills on his neighbour, thus prolonging the operation to six months ; but, before the expiration of this period, the supply of the regular remittances of comm-rce had been such as to enable Messrs. Baring to liquidate all the engagements in Paris, and to restore the pledged securities to the Bank of England. From this statement the Bank of France will ap pear to have had nothing to do with the operation ; but a mode by which they facilitated its progress, and which, doubtless, gave rise to the erroneous suppositions which have since been entertained on the subject remains to be mentioned. The draughts drawn by Messrs. Baring on the various French houses were, of course, liable to be presented for discount to the Bank of France, and as these firms, respectively, had credits only to a certain limit with that institution, there was a possibility that their rejection might become necessary, owing to such limits being exceeded. This difficulty was calculated to produce au injurious effect, and application was there fore made to the Bank of France in order that it might be overcome. An understanding was accordingly entered into by the Bank of France, that the draughts, in case they should make their appearance, should be discounted without regard to the limits in question. This precau tionary arrangement, however, proved to have been scarcely essential, for the draughts being of the first character, and the rate of discount at the Bank of France being somewhat higher than the market rate, they were readily discounted out of doors, and hence it is believed that but a very small proportion found their way into that establishment. The only claim, therefore, that can be urged upon the Bank of England in the way of reciprocity is, that sup posing the Bank of France should now, for the purpose of purchasing silver from us, adopt a method analogous to that just described, the same facilities of discount ' should be afforded with regard to the parties upon whom they might procure bills. These would, doubtless, con sist of leading houses, whose acceptances would at all times be received with avidity by the ordinary money lenders, and such an engagement on the part of the Bank of England would therefore involve no great stretch of generosity. From the present aspect of affairs it seems by no means improbable that some measure of this description will be resorted to by the Bank of France, and it is im portant to recognise that if such should be the case it must cause an immediate rise in the discount market. A demand from a new source for two millions, or even for only one million, could not come suddenly upon us without producing a decided increase in the prevailing rates, and thus another is added to the numerous reas,ns which already exist to call for the exercise of caution. — Times.

The following has been pos at Lloyd " G ted luckstadt, s Nov. 16, 1846. " On the end of the North Harbour Pier, a light, 23 feet above high water, will be exhibited every night from the Ist of December next. From the Elbe this light will be visible in every direction, to the distance of one mile (Vanish) from ,z the Harbour, and from S.W., by the W. to the Northern shore of the Elbe ; it will have a reddish appearance. Before the head of the North Harbour Pier there is a shoal, on which at ordinary high water, 12 to 15 feet water is found. e - Until the complete removal of this shoal, by dredging, a green 1136 buoy, with a staff and broom, will lie on the extreme we -566 terly point. South of this buoy is the entrance into the har -652 hour, which has a depth of 17 to 18 feet at high water; 2 ln the harbour lies a steam-boat for towing ves s els and 97 3272, from Gluckstadt. Ships desirous of the ass i s t ance o f thi s - 4 1 8 steamer are to hoist their national flag at the main-mast ;as 19G soon as this signal can be seen from the harbour. Informa- tion will then be sent per telegraph from Cuxhaven to : 39 Altona, where arrangements have been made for transmitting 106 it to this place in two hours, by railway trains, at eight L 23 o'clock in the morning and half-past three in the afternoon. The railroad from Altona and Kiel to Gluckstadt is con a24 netted from Bahnhofe by a horse-road, with the places for landing and loading in the harbour, and the railway carriages r„„ 4 can load and unload at the side of the ships. 79 THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.--At !84 130 a meeting of the members of this regiment, held on L 64 Thursday night at the Armory House, a resolution was 132 unanimously passed, that the Court of Assistants be re -130 quested to form a library for the use of the members. DARING ROBBERY IN THE CITY.—On Friday even -144 ing, about six o'clock, a fellow in a white ho flannel acwketot 12 wilfully broke a pa ne of glass in the p-wi 197 Mr. Leach, watchmaker and jeweller, 5, Great Tower -122 street, exactly opposite the station-house, and stole ' 25 therefrom a tray of goods, containing rings, keys, and 26 b roo ches. He was pursued by the s ho p man (Mr. 1 - 98 Leach's son) through the lanes in the immediate locality, . 18 and was eventually captured by City constable 533, in . 3 1° 3 Lower Thames• street, who found at the robber's feet a handsome gold key and a massive brooch. A diligent search was made for the other missing articles by the police, &c., but through the pressure of the mob and the darkness of the lanes, &c., they have not been yet dis covered. The thief is in custody. THE HERTFORD RAILWAY. — This branch of the Eastern Counties Railway was opened on Thursday as a double line. The event was celebrated by a dinner given by the directors at Hertford, at which Mr. Samuels, the engineer, presided.

Farquhar, is still in the harbour, and getting her sea stores on board, and water tanks are being fitted in her. She is deficient of her complement of men by 21 petty officers. She is under orders to tail from this port on the 23J of the present month, and is t o sail from Portsmouth for the Coast of Africa, on the 29th. The Warspite, 50 guns, in dock, fitting for commis sion, is expected to be completed by the end nf the month, when she will be undockLd and masted. The Elk 12-gun brig, building in the first dock, has got her stem and stern posts in place. Another brig, to be named the Heron, 16 guns, is ordered to be imme diately laid down, and to be built in the same dock; and a 16-gun brig, to be named the Despatch, is also to be commenced without delay, and to be built on a slip at the lower part of the dockyard. The ship Lady Lilford, R» Scott, master, arrived yes terday from the East Indies with a cargo of teak for the Dockyard. _ _ _ . The new school erected for the Dockyard apprentices will not be ready to be (=nixed until March next: An estimate for the cost of the ventilation of the building was forwarded yesterday to the Admiralty. The Drake has arrived from Wo...lwich, and, having discharged her cargo, is loading again for Sheerness Dockyard. SUEERNESS, DEC. 3.—lt is rumoured that the Ad miralty contemplate the embody lug the Dockyard arti ficers and labourers into a volunteer corps, for the de fence of the ports. They are to be trained, it is stated, to the use of the great guns and small arms, are to wear uniform, be commanded by the executive officers of the Dockyard, and, when called out for exercise or training, are to be paid from 44. to 6d. extra per hour. The de tails of the measure, we learn, are as yet incomplete, but such is its sum and substance. The Terrible steam-frigate, Cupt. Ramsay, remains in port, without any further orders. The Birkenhead, iron steam troop ship, is still fitting in the Basin, where are also the Euryalis, convict depot, and Dragon steam frigate ready fcr sea. The Formidable, 84; Horatio, 44; Seringapatam, 44; and Dart, 3. building, are in dock. In Harbour—The Ocean, 30, flag-ship; Terrible, Wildfire, and Speedwell.

The Naiad is fitting for sea as rapidly as circum stances will admit of. _ _ The Avenger steam-frigate will he laid up at Ply mouth until her services are again required. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BROADWA.LL, LAMBETH.— Frid iy night, shortly before 12 o'clock, a fire, att. nded with considerable destruction of property, broke out upon the premises belonging to Messrs. Hitchcock ant Connar, brush-board and veneer saw mills, situate in Broadwall, Blackft Tars, next door to the Wesleyan chapel. It appears that whilst the police constable was going his rounds, his attention was suddenly arrested by an immense sheet of flame issuing through the roof of the , ills, a building about forty feet long by tl-irty feet wide. The constable having raised an alarm, the inmates the several contiguous premises were aroused from ta.ir slumbers ; at the same time information was sent to the engine stations. In the course of a few minutes the Waterloo-road, West of England, and Brigade engines reached the scene ; and also the escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, from New Bridge-street, City. As soon as water could be procured from the mains in the district, the two engines were set to work, but the flames had by that perieod obtained complete possession of the building and its con tents. For some time it was feared that the surround ing houses would have been destroyed, and the owners at once commenced removing their furniture to a place of safety. Other engines of the Brigade, and the County one, came up, and owing to the indefatigable exertions .7jUisn were ftirtunneaaterllyy d of the firemen the fire was extinguished by half past mdonesetrtoh3isemd,oLndintgh,ebirutc(nmotteunntsucl othnesusaw e Messrs. Hitchcock and Conliar were uninsured. How the fire originated could not be learned. The workmen left the place at nine o'clock, having previously " damped up" the boiler-flue. A person named Seal, who had a good deal of property in the building, was also uninsured. INGATESTONE FAlR.—This fair, the last of the kind in these counties, took place on Tuesday and W. dnes. day, but upon the whole it cannot be pronounced equal to former years. The show of Scots was short, and of middling quality compared with what we have been in the habit of seeing here; but notwithstanding this nearly the whole were sold at quite as high terms as our late fairs.. The supply of Herefords was a 1...) limited, but from the high prices regain d a great many were left unsold. 01 Welsh beasts there was a numerous exhi bition, but the quality was middling, w and many of them did not find purchas. rs. Thera. was good show of short-horned and Durham heifers. which wtre much in demand, and they were all 6f dd. Ot Devon beasts the supply was small, being prtheipaily cuufinvd i to a lot shown by Mr. College, but even these were not isposed of. With respect to the beasts . in gerral, may be ' observed that the epidemic which h . as lren, s : o *aortic tive to cattle was very pre.v:al!dit tO . tsdr; indeed, there was scarcely a lot . of Welsh . beteds that w more or less affected by it, giving little , bope that this scourge is likely soon to pass away. Or sheep the num ber penned w as not very numerous, but on the first day there was a good trade. and quite twb-thirai were sold, though the trade was not quite so brisk as it' has been; prices, however, were not less, Down ewes fetching from 365. to 445.; lambs, 235. to 315.; Dorset ewes, 455. to 50s. Of wether sheep there were but, few exhibited. Cart horses and c art colts were much in demand, but were thinly supplied; anything at all useful was rea dil y sold. There were but few nags, amongst which a very useful horse, shown by Mr. Orbell, was purchased by Thomas Brewitt, E= q. Milking cows were short, and all were sold, though at rather less money than they would have brought a few weeks ago. In this class there was the novelty in the fair of upwards of fifty French cows and heifers, part of which were purchased by J. Oxley Parker, Esq. On Wednesday the trade in beasts was on about the same terms as the previous day; but of the few sheep penned on the second day not a single r e A c o c r c d m a E d N r T e a r d ß fu o l a a t ec ß id o e i n L t lN w G hich L i l , Q a u pp m en . ed lot changed hands. — Chelmsford Chronicle.
