Of all the e;iedients ever resorted to for the purpose of extracting money front the pockets of the charitable, by im posing on them through fictitious cases of distress, those adopted by a fellow, a few years since, were incomparably the most extraordinary. Wllit be be:;eved that this regue, who was an excellent swimmer, was in the habit of pretend ing attempts at suicide, by throwing himself into the Thames. with a view to work upon the feelings of whoever chanced to see him after being taken out of the water ? Ile always contrived to select a part of the river near which there were a number of bye-slanders, while another person, who was a party to the affair, took care to give the alarm, and call aloud for some boat in the vicinity. Whenever the fellow pretending to have attempted suicide was brought out of the water, the other affecting to have been passing acciden tally at the time, addressed the spectators, and said that the unfortunate man had been induced to make the rash attempt through the greatest distress, and that this was the fourth or fifth time he had sought to put an end to his life, and that within a very short period. Every spectator who had a heart within him, believing, as all always did, the got-up tale, put his hand into his pocket, and gave some thing to the " poor unhappy man." The collections thus made often amounted to two or three pounds. This daring expedient, however, was only convenient in the summer season ; winter was much too cold to do the thing comfort ably. It will be asked, in what way, then, did this con summate rogue manage to live in winter? Why, by affect ing to commit suicide by hanging himself in some public place in the evenin gs ! used to fasten a rope to sonic lamp -post or other projection' at the corner of a partially frequented lane or street, and then encircling his neck with another part of the rope, he would scale the lamp-post, or other projection, as if about to throw himself down again and thereby hang himself ; but always at this critical mo ment his partner in imposture made his appearance, and, cutting the rope, prevented the rogue from carrying his pretended purpose into effect. Of course an assemblage of people presently gathered around ; the same story of dis tress was vamped up ; the deepest sympathy was expressed for the " unhappy man ; " and the shillings and sixpences were forthcoming from every pocket, accompanied by the warmest commendation of the humanity of the other rogue. But the leading performer in this drama of imposition on the benevolent public, was eventually constrained to. relin quish his part. The catastrophe was one evening very nearly realised in all its horrors. In ascending a lamp-post, after the rope had been fairly round his neck, he slipped his foot and fell, and would actually have been hanged but for the opportune appearance of. his friend, who cut him down. From that moment he ever afterwards had such a horror of a rope that the very sight of one made him turn pale.—From Skcichcs in London. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

NEWCASTLE.—About ten minutes before five o'clock on Thursday morning last the attention of Inspector Smellie, of the new police, was attracted in passing along Eriek-street, in this town, by some smoke arising from the workshops of Mr. Henry Ellis, the plumber, and from a light in the premises. Having immediately ascertained that the building was on fire, he alarmed the firemen. The en gines of the Newcastle Fire-office, the North British, and the Newcastle and North of England, were soon after upon the ground. Unfortunately, however, before any engine could arrive, or commence playing, from the nature of building, great part of it being of' wood, the fire had extended to the roof, and the premises were in a blaze. Having ob tained an instantaneous and abundant supply of water from the Water Company's pipes, they soon produced a great effect upon the flames, effectually prevented their spreading to the adjoining property, and succeeded in extinguishing them altogether in three-quarters of an hour. It is due to Gal loway, foreman of the Newcastle Fire-office engine, to say that be displsyed great energy and activity on the occa sion, and by his exertions chiefly, Mr. Ellis's books and office were preserved. The police were present, under the orders of Mr. Stephens, the superintendent, and were of considerable service by keeping the ground clear for the firemen and preventing any depredation ; they, however, took no active part in attempting to put out the fire. The upper part of the building, and part of the stock, lathes, and patterns were destroyed ; but the greatest part of the d stock, which was happily on the grounfloor, was preserved. The fire, it is ie •ed, originated in a beam of wood, which had been placed too near a chimney, with which the furnace communicates. By the Town Improvement Act, recently passed, it is required that no wood shall be placed within nine inches of the internal surface of any chimney. had this been enforced sonic years ago, this fire could not have hadpened. This Act also very properly requires that all hoascs and manufactories erected since its passing shall have party walls ; this necessary precaution had likewise heen omitted in the erection of the workshops in question. Mr. Ellis's premises and stock in trade were partially in sured.—Tyne Mercury. Everybody who has been at Paris is familiar with the names of Madame la Duchess de Guiche, the beautiful sister of Count d'Orsay, and Madame de Rccamier, the friend of Clrateaubriand, who boasts—and what a splendid boast it is I—that she has had half the celebrated men of Eu rope for her admirers, and kept them as her friends. Madame Le lion, the wife of the Belgian Ambassador, and a Rat hens' beauty of the first water, is particularly celebrated fur her chapeaus, which are still copied as soon as worn, though the hcvdey of her fasliion is gone by.' Madame la Comtesse de Vaudreuil, an attractive young widow, has earned a name in history by the introduction of the risellc ; the ruby velvet first worn by herself contrasted soadmirably with her raven hair that the fashion spread like wildfire, and was almost as rapidly extinct. As regards head-dresses, a' custom prevalent among Frenchwomen who arc fortunate enough to p ossess j ewels deserves to be recorded. Instead of trusting the arrangement to their maids or hairdressers, they se n d th e i r pearls and diamonds to lierbault or Beaudran, to be di s p ose d about turban s their i\i and hat s , an d a fi ne picto rial effect i s t h e result.liDuchesse de Plaisance, daughter of the Princessetic 'gram, is a b eauty o f t h e light, airy, sylph-like or d er .

On.s.-The demand for the common descriptions of Fish Oils has much abated. Pale Seal and Cod may be purchased at 501., fine Southern at 421. ; all the ships have armed from the Fisheries, and the production is only 603 imperial tuns Southern, and 200 tuns Greenland.-Sperm remains at 841., but the demand is limited. Linseed 303. per cwt. This after noon Southern found buyers at 231. to 411. for low and fine, being 40s. to 60s. below the prices obtained last week. COCHINEAL -The demand has become very moderate. Black at a reduction on former rates of 21 per 11,., ord. and good Honduras went at 6s. 61. to 7s. 61 silver sold ld. under previous prices, Honduras low and good mid. at 6s. 3d. to 6s. 6d., foxy ss. 101 to 6s. 2d. ; Vera Cruz ord. and mid. 6s. to 6s. 3d._,• Garbling went at 21. 3d. to 2s.

Guatimala went at 3d. per lb. under former prices ' • low Cortes to good Sobres sold at 2 a. 2 d. to ss. 3d. per lb. Madras ( From the New Lone ,n Price Current of F..iday. ) Sunea.--=British Plantation has fully supported previous rates, and in some instances a slight advance has been obtained, and the importers show little inclination to sell at present prices, but the operations have been to a less extent than Las been the case of late ; the demand from the grocers as well as the refiners has become very moderate, which may be attributed to the prompt of this week still falling due on this side of the ' , resent year, and the attention of the former being directed to the Tee 'ales ; at auction on Tuesday 121 hhds. Barbadoes went with spirit at prices 6d. to Is. above those obtained at the previous sale, tins sold at 665. to 675., mid and good 625. 6 I. to 639. Gd. ; by the last returns the deficiency in the stock was not to that extent it was in the previous week, it being 11,8 22 hhds. 997 trs. and 1,123 brls. under that of last year, which was occasioned by the landings at the docks being 950 hhds. and trs. greater than that at the corresponding period of 1836. but the arrivals this week having been light, amounting only to 199 hhds., which is 600 hhds. less than during the same time last year, the deficiency in the stock will by Tuesday next be again increased, and will continue so up to the end of the present season, when it is estimated it will be nearly 16,000 hhds. and trs. under that of the former year ; the deliveries for home consumption continue very large, and last week were 660 hhds. arid trs. greater than during the same period in 83 up to the present period 13,000 hhds. and trs. more have been delivered this season than last ; prices, notwithstanding the late advance, are now 7s. to Bs. for brown, sz. to 7s. for low and mid. jellow, and 4s. for good and fine lower tnan they were on the e7th October, 1836, and the grocers and refiners in both town and country heirsg very scantily supplied, causes holders naturally to expect higher prices; the lowest point of the Market for ord. brown is 565., even at which difficulty is experienced in purchasing ; no public sale of Barbadocs is an nounced for next week. This afternoon, owing to the cause stated above, there was very little doing in either grocery or refining descriptions, but prices continue very firm, and the 'purchases for the week are 1,900 hhds. and trs. In the Refined Market there has been less activity this week, but in prices no variation has taken place, goods being still extremely , scarce, and are likely to continue so, few of the houses being at full work ; -mad sonic of the refiners, in con sequence of the unremuneraing rates they obtain, owing to the high price of the raw material, talk seriously of working out. The demand from the grocers since our last has been moderate, at 76a for Lumps passing, 753. for those rather under the standard, and 725. to 735. for brown Lumps ; for exportation the inquiries have much abated, and only a few small parcels of double Crushed have been disposed of at 355.; there are several buyers at 345. 6d., at which there are not sellers. Pieces continue to sell freely at former rates. Bas tards have been in active demand, and rather higher prices have been obtained ; the lowest price is now 48s. There con tinue ready buyers of Treacle, and rather higher rates have been obtained for common descriptions ; best sorts have fully maintained former quotations. 13 Dutch Crushed Sugar there has been nothing doing ; 335. is still required. MAURITIUS. -There has been a good disposition evinced on the part of buyers to purchase, and fully previous prices have been freely offered, but the demand has been rather checked by the importers asking advanced rates; still there has been a good business transacted at prices Is. above those obtained at the last public sale ; none has been offered at auction this week, and nothing is advertised; there have been no arrivals; the deliveries last week for home consumption greatly ex ceeded those of the corresponding period of 1836. EAST bnin.-Bengal, subject to the 245. duty, has been in brisk demand for home consumption, and prices have again advanced 6d. to Is. ; at auction, 2,195 bags duty paid sold with much spirit, good yellow at 625. 6d. to 635., low to mid. white 635. 6.1. to 665., good to fine 675. 6d. to 70a., very supe rior with strength 71s. 6d. to 755. 6d., fine damps 71s. Gd. to 725. 6d., low to good 625. to 675., very low heavy brown worse than Bastards 475. to 50s. ; for Manilla there has been an im proved demand at previous rates, and the private purchases have been I,Boo.bags at 183. to 18s. 6d. for good brown ; in Siam or Java there is nothing doing. FOREIGN. -There is still little disposition evinced to pur chase, and in the absence of public sales the transactions pri vately have been very trivial, but the stock here being light, nothing is offering at lower prices ; only 100 chests yellow Havannah has been sold at 275. 6d., and a floating cargo of Bahia at 275. 61 for white, and 18s. for brown deliverable at Antwerp. MOLASSES.-The demand for West India has been much checked by the short and indifferent supply at Market; there are ready buyers, particularly for fine qualities, at fully the rates previously established ; some parcels of very ord. dark thin St. Kitts have been sold at 325. to 325. 6,1, and fine 345. tin. ; 300 puns. Demerara are now landing. COFFEE.-The transactions in the clean descriptions of British Plantation have been on a more extended scale this week than last, and a fair business has been done, principally in the mid. and best descriptions at fully the rates previously established, and some small sales of good ordinary qualities have been effected for exportation to our colonies at 755. ; un clean sorts the trade take sparingly, and the greater portion at auction was taken in for want of buyers, but holders cos tiaue to require fully previous prices ; at public sale 436 cables have been offered, Jamaica clear, good middling went at 117 s. to 118 s. ; low mid. and mid. 965. to 103 s. ; good to fine ord., 675. to e6s. ; Dominica mid., 975. ; fine ord., 89s. to 955. ; I3erbice low mid., 965. to 983.; good ord., to 80s. ; only IS casks have arrived since our last ; the only public sale announced for next week is 156 casks for Thursday. The demand for East India with certificate has much improved, and former prices has been fully maintained, and in some in stances stiffer prices have been obtained for good descriptions ; Ceylon has been in very brisk demand by the grocers : pri vately the purchases amount to 3.500 bags at 625. to 683. for lew to good ord., besides 2,617 bags at auction, which went with much spirit, very fine yellow at 87s. 61 to 945., find ord. 695. to 705., fair and good ord. 665. to 60e, rather brownish, 655., low ord. mixed and country damaged, 635. 61. to 61s. ; Mocha has been taken less freely by the grocers, and former prices have been barely obtained ; 300 bales at auction were only partly disposed of at 755. to 753. 6d. for small mixed) efiow, 78s. to 81s. for mid., and 70s. for ungerbled, uneven greenish was taken in at 745. ; 2,046 baskets are an nounced for auction on Tuesday next; for shipping there are still few orders for Semarang or Ceylon, and of Su. metre only a few small parcels have been disposed of at 30a. to 3 4 5. for ord. to fair ord. Foreign is held firmly at last week's rates, and the supply has become short, particularly of the coloury descriptions, but the accounts of the Continental Mar kets being unfavourable, the transactions here privately con tinue limited, and have been confined to 300 bees Rio at 395. to 403. 6d. for good ord., and some small parcels of St. Do mingo at 403. to 40s. Gd. for similar quality ; there have been no public sales. This afternoon there was no public sale of any description, and with the exception of the clean qualities of British Plan tation, which are enquired for, there was very little doing pri vately prices unaltered. Cocoa.-For British Plantation there has at length been an improved demand, and 54 brls. 154 bags Trinidad at auc tion were ell disposed of at rather stiffer prices, fair and mid. grey at 395. Gd. to 425. 6d., mid. and good red 435. to 455. 6d., ord. 41s. ; the stock is now rather under that of last year,. Of Foreign there is still no supply, and none expected; the stock at all the Continental Markets is very light. Rum, BRANDY, AND 110I.LANDS.-The demand has been very limited for Jamaica Rum, and former prices have been barely maintained ; Leewards have been in steady request at fully the rates previously established ; the transactions in the former have been only 100 purrs., 28 to 33 per cent. over proof at es. to 4s. 2d., 34 to 36 over at 4s. 3d. to 4s. 4d., and 300 puns. of tire latter proofs to 2 per cent. orer at 2s. 41d. to 2s. 5d., 3 to 8 over 2s. 61. to 2s. 7d., 9to 12 over 0 3.

SALTPETRE.--Rough has been in fair demand, Calcutta went readily at 265. for fine quality, 4 per cent. refract ion, and 245. a 245. 61. for good 104 per cent. do. ; British Refined has been taken sparingly. TALLOW. -Prices continue firm, but the transactions for forward delivery have been very trivial ; 593. Gil. to 395. 9d. is asked for the next two months, and 403. for January, Fe bruary, and March next year ; for consumption there has been leaf af i s y - strongGs oddn: a very brisk demand from both town and country trade at 395.

The season has proved moSt. gorgeous ; amply have we been compensated for the rigours of the spring, and a most useful lesson has been afforded. Henceforward lot no one anticipate evil by the fingerings of ►winter. We may be permit ted at the time to regret the slow approaches of summer ; but the late summer has presented irrefragable proof that tardiness is not destruction; on the contrary, that super abundance may rapidly be conferred on those who have yielded to ungrateful misgivings and gloomy anticipations. Every private account has confirmed our o►wn ►widely-ex tended observation. In the south, wheat was safely har vested ; barley and oats, though they suffered in point of colour, sustained no material injury, and every other crop was duly secured. But what shall we say of the north Nothing but what may be conveyed by the single word— perfection ! Scotland suffered exceedingly during the autumn of 1836 ; but her harvest of thd present year has been carried amidst the splendour of one of the finest seasons that the agriculturist could witness, or his most sanguine wishes anticipate. Of the present crops—their prospects at least—we need only remark that everything on the ground is looking well, if we except the turnips. W e grieve to say that, although there are many fine ex ceptions, numerous plots are again ravaged by a grub, which, it is the opprobrium of the farmer to say, no one appears to understand. Its attacks are fearful. As soon as the bulb acquires the breadth of half an inch, it is as sailed by herds of this demon ; ten, twenty, and thirty attack it on every side, pierce it with innumerable wounds, destroy the fibres, and detach it from every source of nourishment. The Swedes arc peculiarly the prey of this insect, which possesses a tenaciousness of life, and an elastic strength of texture, that no chemical agent can effectually assail. Our experiments have forced us to con clude that nothing hitherto discovered can rescue a field which has once been invaded. The grub is " the rook worm ;" and to those birds we must look for a re medy. They seek it in flocks, they turn up the surface of the soil, and devour every individual which their eager exertions expose. If man ever suc ceeds in abating the nuisance, he must attack it in the pa rents, not in the progeny. It is the cockchafer, a cole optuous beetle, which emerges from the earth in May, that causes all the evil, and therefore should become the object of unsparing destruction. It is the duty of the farmers to compare notes, in order to ascertain whether the insect (a sort of grey caterpillar, long known in the gardens) be everywhere the same. Ireland is also a fellow sufferer, and a very little exertion would decide the fact. We have proved that the fields of Berks and Buckinghamshire have one and the same enemy, which we have every reason to conclude assails the eastern counties. This reiterated at tack affords another cogent reason for an improved system of agriculture ; and nothing presents itself so obviously as an extensive convertible routine. Old pastures should be broken up, arable land should for a time be converted to pasture, and every expedient resorted to, to change the order of cropping, thereby improving the fertilising power of the soil. But we must again return to the subject of the crops. While the land teems with abundance, the toc sin of alarm continues to be sounded, and the reporters of the metropolis make the press a vehicle of mischievous, selfish, designing fallacy. To the never-ceasing assertion that the bad condition of new wheat renders kiln-drying a dernier resort, they have now added the torror-confer ring prospects of ruin to the newly-sown wheat. The seed, forsooth, is '• malted" in the ground ; it has sent forth a root, but for lack of rain, has been powerless to protrude a blade. We laugh at the latter complaint, especially as the rain has conr , , and drowned the alarm of these " fear ful adversaries ;" but really it is pitiable to be annoyed with the eternal sing-song of " kiln-drying." Here and there, no doubt, a moist sample has been produced, and a solitary fact or two may have presented itself, thereby enabling the interested parties to " lie like truth." But what say those who observe who really know the bearing of general facts ? What, in. a word, do the honest re ports of the country testify ? A few faithful extracts shall furnish the answer, and prove an antidote to the libel of metropolitan ignorance, or something worse. Of Scotland nothing need be said ; the facts are too po tentially conclusive. Of the midland counties, our corres. pondents in llerts, Derbyshire, &e, confirm our own posi tive observations as far as respects Barks, Buckingham, and Oxfordshire. From Bath reports we trace that " wheat had been most successfully harvested throughout the greater part of this neighbourhood. The crop is excellent, the bar. ley harvest has commenced, the potato crops are abundant. The turnip-fields are one mass of green, and we trust be yond the reach of the fly. The orchards are generally pro. ductive ; in short Providence has been most bountiful to us." This, be it remarked, was long before the confirmed line weather. A second notice observes—" According to accounts from all parts of the country, the harvest seems to have been completed in the most satisfactory manner. The recent fine weather, while it shortens winter, affords addi tional sources of gratification to the husbandman. All the autumnal crops are in a luxuriant state, and abundance is everywhere acknowledged. The crops of potatoes, turnips, and mangel-wurzel, are luxuriant, and the market gardens have all the freshness of spring." We may add that stock is heathy, and every possible species of food for winter sustenance promises to be abundant. How long shall we continue to be amused by tales of kiln dryinff and ground malted corn ? If, however, any farmer has been so negligent as to suffer his shocks to be damaged, we pity him not—the hooding, or capping sheaf, always re sorted to by his wiser brethren of the north-western counties, would have warded off the temporary evil. On the subject of improved husbandry, leading to assured increasing production, and with that to the blessing of cheap bread (that scriptural mercy), with amply remunerating. profit to the grower, we should be remiss in not copying the following extract from the New Farmer's Journal : " SPADE HUSBANDRY.—At the late meeting of the Bri tish Association at LiVerpool, Dr. Yellowley read a paper on spade husbandry in Norfolk. A farm of 317 acres, be longing to Mr. Mitchel, was cultivated with eight horses and twenty men, under a system of spade husbandry, which had required twelve horses and twenty men with the plough ; and the general results were, better wages to the workmen, and an increase of one-third in the produce of the farm. Mr. Mitchel attached a garden of a quarter of an acre to each of the men, from which they derived a profit of 3/. 3s. a year. Sir Edward Kerrison, in Suffolk, had made 200 such allotments, which were sought after with avidity. The rents were paid with great regularity, and the im provement in the condition and character of the cottagers was very manifest." It is reported that to add to the novelty and brilli ancy of the Royal procession, it is the intention of many to send up small balloons, at the going and returning of her Majesty from the city. At this late period of the season the trees have scarcely begun to shed their leaves, and the herbage in the fields near the metropolis looks fresher and more plentiful than it did in the month of May. Last year we had snow and frost long before this time. As the harvest has for some time been brought to a close in this quarter, it may now be proper to state the results, as ascertained from the best-informed sources. The weather throughout has been uncommonly favourable. Although we bad a good deal of rain, yet it seldom conti nued beyond a few hours, and was always succeeded by drying winds and a fair portion of sunshine, for the ad vanced period of the season. The consequence has been that the grain crops have been cut down and secured in the barn-yard under circumstances the most propitious for the farmer, particularly as regards the comparatively small expense in securing his produce and the excellence of its quality. Wheat, however, was thin on the ground, and ex hibits a degree of inferiority, being from one to two po un d s per bushel below the average weight. Sixty-one and a half pounds we believe to be the heaviest samples yet produced in our market. Barley, although lighter than when taken from the stook, is still above an average weight, and yields well. Oats also aro productive, both in, the barn anti at the mill, 17, 18, and even 19 pecks of meal have been re turned from the boll of the Flemish and potato varieties. Beans, which were above an average in bulk, are found to be very productive, well filled, and clear coloured. Soma of the parcels, although not yet perfectly firm, weighed 6411i5., which is at least 4lbs. above the average of last year. Potatoes are all dug in the carse lands, and wheat sown in their place, and seldom has that process been finished un der more favourable circumstances—the ground being, as the farmer expresses it, " just the thing, neither too wet nor too dry." The potatoes are also finding their way fast to the pit in the dry field. Indeed this valuable article is both abundant and of excellent quality. Turnips have im proved much, and will also be fully an average crop. — Sliding Journal. 01 is' 51 641 100 5 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 28.—The Blonde, 46, Commodore P. Mason, having been relieved in the command of the Pa cific Ocean by the Stag, 46, Commodore Sullivan, on the 26th of June last, arrived yesterday at Spithead, • with 1,500,000 dollars on board, in specie, principally from the west shore of Mexico. The Blonde left Valparaiso on the 3d of July, at which time the Chaim) squadron was refitting ; but the army, which had been assembling for the purpose of invading Peru, had dispersed, owing to a disinclination to embark in such a service, and the country was compara tively quiet. The Blonde was only thirty-three days from Coquimbo to Rio Janeiro, at which place she remained seven days ; and from thence, owing to light winds, she has been sixty days on her passage. The Stag and Rover were at Valparaiso on the 3d of July ; the Actaeon at Coquimbo on the 10th, but going back to Valparaiso, and about the Ist of October she would return to England, when the Stag would go to Callao, and send the Imogene from that port on a cruise among the South Sea Islands, and about the middle of October the Cleopatra would leave that place for San Bias. The Harrier and Basilisk were at the interme diate ports. The ships were all healthy. The Dublin was at Rio ou the 29th of August.

The wind was light during the four days ; average rate of sailing from three.and-a-halt to four knots. She Was completely beaten by the latter vessel, Clio sparing her all studding sails, sometimes courses, and then sailed round her. Many of the merchant brigs and schooners on this coast have beaten the Dido. She is a very roomy ship, and well handled, but not considered an effective man of war ; in a very little sea she drowns the four foremost guns, and with the least head-swell she'll do nothing ; she bolds a bad ►vind, and does not like much head sail. She might be greatly improved and rendered effective by giving her a forecastle and poop. If this is her character on the south coast of Spain, wharwould she be in the North Sea in the winter months ?" The Donegal, 78, Captain Drake, arrived on Thursday, from Plymouth, to receive the flag. of Rear-Admiral Sir John Ommanney. •_ _ _ . _ _ _ - The Madagascar, 46, left Tampico, for Jamaica, on the 31st of August ; the Scringapatam, 46, with the Romney slave depot in company, arrived at the Havannah on the 22d and 25th of August ; the Rose, 18, arrived at Trinco malee, on the 31st of May, from Bombay.

While on the coast of Morocco a boat was sent ashore for sand, but getting into the surf, she was capsized, and lost the officer and four men in her. However, they were all saved on the beach, though it was forty-eight hours before a boat could reach them to bring them on board, right glad to have escaped starvation and all the dangers-of the wild animals with which the country abounds. The Hazard was going on to Malta.

This vessel, it will be remembered, is the same that was so long locked in the ice on the recei.t Northern Expedition. Considering the effect of the com pression of the ice, it is surprising she could have made such a voyage as she has. She is in her present state an object of interest to the curious. A letter from Malta, dated the 21st September, states that the squadron, consisting of the nieces& Charintte, 104, Rodney, 92, Vanguard, 80, and Bellerophon, 80, was ex pected to sail for Athens on Sunday 25th. The Admiral would not, it was believed, accompony it, as he was suffer ing from ili-health. The Sapphire, 28, was to sail for Smyrna within a few days from the date of the letter, to re lieve the Tribune, 28, whose time was up. The Portland, 50, was daily expected from Alexandria, on her way home, the Russell, 74, having taken her place at Athens, to attend King Otho. The Castor, 36, was at Corfu, and the Hind cutter, gone to Naples. An account was published some time since of 300 men having been landed off the Ebrofrom the brig Childers ; this was so palpable an error as surely to require correction ; the fact is, however, that the men were sent from the Vanguard, the Childers merely timing the, boats.. A late order of the Admiralty has directed the Captains of ships to report on their being paid off after three years' service, the names of three among the seamen or marines, who shall have served 21 years, and obtained a good character and good certificates. Any one so reported, if a first class petty officer, will receive a donation of 15/. ; if a second class petty officer 7/. ; and if an able seaman 51. title The men w h o s h a ll re ceive these rewards will be en d° wn wear. a silver medal, having on one side the devico of the cro and anchor, and on the reverse good condva."
