Admiral Sir John A. Ommaney. K.C.8., commander in chief at Devonport, left for London, on leave, on Monday morning. His flag was struck at sunset, when toe command of the port devolved on Commodore Say tnour,.whose broad pendant was re-hoisted on Monday inorninz. the gallant officer having returned to his duties from leave. Orders were received at Devonport on Monday morn ing .to dispatch the Vesuvius, 6, steam-sloop, Com mander Barnard, to Portsmouth, immediately, where, it is reported, Commander Barnard and his crew will be turned over to the Vixen, steam-sloop, and when ready will embark a gentleman accredited to the Brazilian Go vernment trom this country. The Vixen, after landing this gentleman. is to be attached to the squadron on that station. The Vesuvius sailed on Monday afternoon for the eastward, having bat iu the morning returned from cruising in the chops of the Channel to relieve the vessels detained by contrary winds. She takes 70 or 80 supernumeraries for the ships at Portsmouth. Two of the engineers of the Vesuvius were injured by the ma chinery during her recent cruise, one of whom dislocated his toot, and the other bad his hand seriously cut. Engineers from the steam reserve at Devonport were sent on board to supply their places prior to the vessel's sailing for Portsmouth. Hecate, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, ordered to the mouth of the Channel to relieve merchant-vessels, has not yet returned to port. She was spoken by the British merchant brig Zeo, in 48 30 N.,8 W. len. Diligence, naval transport, Master ommander Mit chell, sailed, on Monday afvrnoon, from Devonport, with stores for the four eastern yards. PORTS3IOI3TH, TUESDAY.—The Superb, 80, Captain Pursell, was visited this morning at Spithead by Ad miral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.0.M.G., the Commander in -Chief, and the Earl of Minto. Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent, also accompanied the gallant Admiral in the Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. G. Allen, Acting Master, commanding. The Admiral, after inspecting 'he ship, mustered the ship's company, and Captain Chads exercised them thoroughly in gunnery, and so far as could be judged from the shore, and taking into consideration the newness of the science of gunnery to nine -tenths of her crew, they appeared to be pretty good shots. The report about paying the Superb off was premature. The orders at present issued by the Admi ralty are to pay the crew " down ;'' but nothing more. It is therefore probable that this fine ship and her now well-drilled complement will remain for some time in commission yet, and do some further service to the State. tt prices of grain : Barrels.

The Moniteur announces that the disputes between France and Morocco have been completely settled. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the proposition of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has conferred the deco ration of Commander of the Legion of Honour on M. BOURREE, Consul-General and Chargé d'Affaires of France at Morocco, as a mark of satisfaction at the important services he has rendered during his mission at Tanjiers. The 211oniteur contains a decree regulating the position of the Senate and Legislative Corps with re spect to the President, and the system upon which their proceedings will be conducted. Another decree determines that the judges and magistracy shall take the oath of allegiance to the PRESIDENT. The Prince DE Cam No has left Paris for Rome. M. JANVIER, the Councillor of State, died on Monday from the attack of apoplexy which he had on Friday last. A telegraphic dispatch from Brussels announces that MM. D'HAUSSONVILLE and THOMAS, accused of publishing a libel on the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, in the Moniteur Francais, have been ac quitted. The accused were defended by M. BAR TELS. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" It is, as already stated, at the Tuileries, in the Salle des Marechaux, that the sitting of the Senate and Legislative Body on the 29th will be held. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, surrounded by his aides-de-camp, his orderly officers, his Ministers, and the council of state, will be placed on a raised platform ; opposite the PRESIDENT of the Republic will be, on one side the Senate, and on 'the other the Legislative Body. The PRINCE PRESIDENT will deliver a speech. A form of an oath will then be read, and each meniber of the Senate and of the Legislative Body, on his name being called over, Will pronounce from his place the words—je le jure ! The clergy, the magistracy, and the diplomatic body w ill be represented at this solemnity. A small num ber of places will be reserved in an upper gallery for persons receiving invitations." The same journal says :—" Certain foreign jour nals continue to affirm that there is a regular rush of persons at the offices of the Minister of Finance, de manding reimbursement of Five per Cent. Stock. At noon yesterday, there were only twenty persons at those offices, and half of them were either there from curiosity, or bad accompanied their friends." The Bourse was firm, with lirtle business doing. The Five per Cents. opened at 100 f. 25c., and closed at the same price for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 70f. 60c.; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,17 5f.; Rouen, 710 f.; Havre, 287 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 652 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 260 f. ; Vierzon, 562 f.; 50c. ; Basle, 231 f. 25c.; Bordeaux, 557 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 551 f. 25c. ; Tours and Nantes, 340 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 603 f. 75c.

SlR,—Singular to relate, the present meeting at Northampton seems very likely to pass away without giving the Ring the benefit of a few heavy showers of rain, a circumstance that has not occurred, to my know ledge, for the last seven or eight years. The course is very hard, and very likely to give the ten der footed ones a slight sh a ki n g. My accounts received up to eleven o'clock this morning a d v i s e me that the following will be the fields for to-morrow's races:— Earl Spencer's Plate—The Prime Minister, Heart breaker, Thornhill, Forrester, Layburne, Serus, Colt by Prince Caradoc, Lady Agnes (d), Timid Fawn, Free dom, Water Lily, Butterfly, filly by Ballinkeele out of Dart, and gelding by Don John, dam by Priam. Catalpa is as yet the only declared non-starter. The Althorn Park Stakes—King David, Balloon; Stone Plover (d), Nathan, colt by Assault. dam by Lanercost, Postulant, Rumour, Sister to Iracandus, a A e l c t o l u tu n de, tw G ha le te n v a e v r o . n, anfiperaapsone Whalebone, Go or two hr 1.1 0 o O l t as e se s s, of no and Heliogabalus are on the missing list. Northamptonshire Cup Stakes--Clothworker, Abdal lab, Milkboy (d), Brother to Willingham, Paddy Bird, and Pancake. Chief Justice and Mark Tapley, I believe, do not run. Delapre Stakes—Black Doctor, Incurable, Trinket (d), Edward of York, Paddy Bird (d), Hambletonian Loophole, and Tumbler. Innkeepers' Plate—Ballet Girl, Milkboy (d), Avia (d), Fochabers, and Passion colt. My opinion on the Althorp Park Stakes I can render more positive than before, by stating that there is little doubt but that Nat on GLENAVON will catch the judges' eye first, and that Altitude and the Assault colt will be the nearest in attendance. Not knowing whether CLOTHWORKER is to be the money horse for the Cup Stakes or nor, in his absence I must look to Pct`ncake or. Paddy Bird for the winner; and ex::ect to see Brother to Willingham close up. The Innkeepers' Plate I consider a foregone conclusion in favour of FOCHABERB or BALLET UIEL; the former for choioe. lam still of the opinion I expressed on Monday with respect to Earl Spencer's Plate, preferring the PRIME MINISTER, with all his weight, to the crack Dart filly or Freedom; but as he has shown specimens of want of heart on several occasions latterly, if he should be des tined to be beaten, I fancy it will be by the Prince Ca radoc colt or Freedom, and that the foremost portion of the rest will consist of Timid Fawn and the Dart filly. The betting this morning is brisk, the principal busi ness being on to-day's events, which I need not record. The prices on to-morrow's races rule as follow:—De lapre Stakes-2 to 1 agst Paddy Bird, 3to 1 agst the Black Doctor. Earl Spencer's Plate-3 to 1 agst Free dom, 5 to 1 agst Dart filly; 6 to 1 agst Layborne; 6 to 1 egst Prince Caradoc colt, 7 to 1 agat the Prime Minister, 7 to 1 agst Thornhill, 8 to 1 agst Heartbreaker, 8 to 1 spit Timid Fawn, 10 to 1 agat Forester, 10 to 1 agst Butter fly, 50 to 1 agat Catalpa. Althorp Park Stakes-2 to 1 egst Glenavon, 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 taken freely; little or nothing doing about any other; Rumour and Assault colt talked about, 10 to 1 would be taken about either; 10 to 1 offered agst the Fyfield couple. Cup Stakes -3 to 1 each agst Pancake and Brother to Willingham; nothing else mentioned. Innkeepers' Plate-3 to 1 each agst Fochabero and Ballet Girl, taken freely; 5 to 1 any other. Through the imperfect caligraphy of my "man of business," a most ridiculous mistake occurred in yester day's note in reference to the Whittlebury Stakes, which made out that Early Bird, who has been dead some time, was a starter and backed at 10 to 1; it should have been King David who is the starter in question, and who was supported at 10 to 1 to a good bit of money.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Africa of the 10th instant brings advices corroborating the Baltic's report • of a gain o f i e. to -lc, per lb. to the sellers of cotton in the New Y or k and southern markets. But we h ave also a state men t t h at the latest telegraphic announce , ment was th a t o f a d ecline of ic. (from Bc. to 7 i c. for " middling") had occurred on the Bth at New Or l eans. The receipts were h eav y, v i z . 130,86 7 b a l es in the week against 78,148 i n the corresponding week of last year, and th e t o t a l receipts 1,909,344 bales against 1,689,136 in 1851. Th e exports to Great Britain in the last week were 70,734 b a l es against 46,167 in the same week of 1851, the total exports 688,126 against 547,862; and the increase of the exports was likely to continue for some weeks. Opinion was more decidedly in favour of the larger estimates of the crop, s a y bales at least. These accounts, 2,800,000 together with a change in the direction of the wind which must rapidly bring in large accumulations of cotton • on the seas, and also taken in connexion with an excess over last rear of nearly 180,000 bales in the es timated stock of Liverpool, have sensibly checked that return of buoyancy which showed itself in our market at the latter end of last week; again exhibiting our sen sitiveness to any alteration in the raw material, whether proceeding from temporary or more permanent causes. Buyers have become more chary and sellers less indif ferent about business. The day's transactions have therefore been comparatively small in yarns; and water twist may be had at a decline of fully id. per lb. in most of its counts and forms. Mule yarns, being rela tively in better request, are not equally affected. The quotations for goods are unchanged, as there continues to be a pretty good, thongh somewhat diminished, demand for various descriptions. However, the general impression is, that no lasting decline is cotton will now take place ; and that our own prices will only be tem porarily affected. We learn that at Blackburn the weavers in some establishments have turned out on ac count of a dispute, not strictly in connexion with wages. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market has been worse, if poskible, than it was last week. The needy manufacturer has been obliged to force a sale by taking lower prices, which has a tendency to make the wool dealer more cautious in diEposing of the raw material, as he is generally the sufferer by such proceedings. Wool warehouses; iin has maintained its former price, but has been purchased very spari ng ly. judging .HUDDEßSFlELD, thedulness week; SATUßDAY.—Thereandworstedeither effectsales,atthanthat from appearances, confidence in the stability of the spring trade is gaining ground. Fancy trouserings and light descriptions of vestinge have been called for to-day ; and a fair quantity of broad superfine have met with sale. There has also been rather more doing in the wool warehouses. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Oat manufacturers have been doing a little more business, but prices are unsa tisfactory. We are sorry to have to report another failure of a silk manufacturer in this town, who stopped payment yesterday. His liabilities are currently stated to be 10,0001. The Macclesfield silk trade have had established during the last three years a local board of trade for the purpose of regulating the prices of weaving, which consisted of twelve manufacturers and twelve weavers; Mr. Samuel Higginbotham, solicitor, as the chairman. On :Monday eveniag last it was given up by the manufacturers, who have long treated it with indifference. A meeting was called by cir culars to all manufacturers in the town, and seven only attended; and it was unanimously agreed not to meet the operatives. A strike is anticipated in consequence. In the thrown silk market a moderate business is doing, at prices which would not be at all remunerative from present rates of raw material. Raw Silk—The market is very firm, with an upward ten dency in China silk; the small quantity remaining in the hand of importers is generally held for an advance on current rates.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE PlLOT.—Yesterday morning a commission of lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Green Man Hotel, Bethnal-green, to inquire into the state of mind of Thomas Charles Voy, a Trinity House pilot, late of Com mercial-road, and now an inmate of Dr. Phillips's Lunatic Asylum, Bethnal-green. Mr. Voy, on entering the room, said, in answer to " Good morning," b y the Commissioner, " Don't be too fast ; I'll see." The Commissioner—Aye, slow and sure. Mr. Voy—No; I was born before I was sure. The unfortunate man. who appeared to be in robust health, of the middle age, walked round the room, repeating, " I was born before I was sure. I am God Almighty." And, recognising his father in the corner of the room, he approached him, and seizing him by the hand, exclaimed violently, " This is God Almighty, the father of his son, who I am ;" and then, going round the apartment, he said to the Commissioner, "You are the man of Ephraim, and you (turning to a iuror) are Samson; I have fought for him—l am a patient God," &c. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Courtney said they had no doubt of Mr. Voy's insanity. hire. Voy was then called, and stated that they had lived upon the most affectionate terms up to the 4th of April, 1846, when her husband fell down the hold of a vessel in the London Docks, and injured his spine. She was perfectly satisfied with the treatment her husband received at Dr. Phillips' s , The Learned Commissioner then summed up, and the jury immediately found Mr. Voy of unsound mind, and incapable of governing himself or his property, and that he had been so from the Bth of September, 1848. a stat DETERMINED SUICIDE FROM WtEehmSeTpekilvoliydN BRIDGE. —On Saturday night Mr. W.

EXECUTION OF A BANKRUPT. —At noon, on the 10th inst., just as the Exchange at Hamburgb, crowded with merchants, presented its business aspect, two drummers in the civic uniform came up and rolled their drums for the space of ten minutes, causing a great commotion both within and out of the Bourse. While this was going on, workmen were seen over the principal gateway of the build ing elevating a black board, en which was painted in white letters the name of a merchant of the city who had lately suspended payments and abscon ded with all his asse ts. When the name had been f airl y set u p , a bell called the " schand glocke" or shame b ell, onl y run g on such occasions, was sounded for two hours fro m a tower of the Bourse.

THE GLASGOW AND EDINGBURGIf, AND SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAYS.—The Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central Railways have concluded a working ar rangement which will not only be beneficial to both com panies in an economical point of view, but greatly promote the convenience of the public.

It is now arranged that the engines of the Edinburgh and Glasgow line are to run upon the Scottish Central as es Ar as Stirling, and the engines of the Central upon the Edinbui 'gh and Glas )nstitutional. gow line as far as these two cities.— Glasgow Cti TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. Sir,—May I request that you wilt he good enough to publish the followiug explanation of my remarks on the Naval Estimates, part of which you have in your co• lutnns cy to-day. _ _ _ 1. I distinctly followed your advice. given in your article of a few weeks since; that is, I attacked the items palled " wages to artificers" and materials for ship building. These together account for nearly 1,500,0001. I contended, and cont en d, t h at that amoun t ought to give us many more hne- o f- b att l e sh i ps than we possess. At the rate of 1,0001. a gun, we ought to have for our money ten ships a year at th e least; and as these ought to last, with care, in time of p eace 4 0 years, we oug ht now to possess, after 37 years o f peace, 370 su ch ships. In point of fact we have n o thi ng like this num b e r. Where has the money gon e t o ? One por tion has gone in building ships, and th e ot h er in destroying them , a nd hence " the beggarly a ccount of empty " h u lk s we now haye to deplore. Th e d ockyards are the h uge v o rtex into which the publi c resources have been poured and wasted. 2. I contended that our expenditure for 40,000 men ought to be 2,000,0001. at the outsido, on th e g round that able seamen can b e o b ta i ned for 11. a week to find themselves. Our pay ment f or wages, victuals , hal f- p a y , and military pensi o n s an d allowances' is 3,173,6851. The above sum of 2,000,0001., i n addition to 1,00 0 , 000/ de voted to ship-buildin g , an d a margin of 1,000, 000/. for pay of officers . ( who are pl aced on half-pay too so on) and sundries, would make 4,000,000/. in 51 1 - -3 sum ample for the naval defence of th e nation on the s upposition that we keep the bulk o f our force at home, an d send steam fleets to points w h ere their presence is wanted. Now, our actual cost thi s year will be 5, 60 0 , 000/. and more. My proposal w ou ld , therefore, save over a mil lion and a half a year, which might be applied to liqui date debt. 3. I pointed out the inadequate defence of the arsenal at Plymouth, showing that our expensive fortifications may bo easily •' turned " fr om the land side south of the dockyard. 4. I showed that Keyharn was the wrong place for steam docks, which should have been at Mill-bay, where nature had made a splendid basin, now used fur mercantile purposes, and in the course of bring partially filled in to matte a kind o f wharf in fact, a stranger, watching what goes on at - Plymouth t wo uld say, " These people are insane. Elena is h uman la b our em ployed in digging out one leviathan dock and filling up another, while mud is thrown into th e entrance of the har b our, and shipi pulled to piec es as fast as they can be built. " It may now be too late to m en d the Keyham case ; but, if so, and if the dock be absolutely and immediately ne cessary, why do the Admiralty only ask for 40 , 000 / , for this year's expenditure on th at work ? The who l e es timate was 1,225.0001., of w hi ch the amount alrea d y voted has been 833,000 L, an d the further estimate i s 352,0001. before the work can be completed. Conse quently many years will elapse betore the "jib' will be done, if we only spend 40 0001. a year on it ; an d before the happy period arr ives we may find out we could have dispensed with our l abour altogether. 5. Inquired of the Admir a l ty whether in future i t was intended to re-commissi on ships " all standing, ' , that is, when in a state of highest efficiency, when a practised and thoroughly-disciplined crew is on board of each ship, and when " things have shaken well to gether" atter three years' e xperience, or whether they meant to dismantle each craft entirely on coming home, hewing, hacking, and destroying materials to save time and show " smartnese in the art of pulling to pieces, and sending the men about their business—in other words, to be plundered by sharpers of both sexes who await the unhappy seaman on the shore of his grateful was satisfactory. country.

As the 2.10 train was proceeding from Brighton to Portsmouth, the driver, on leaving a curve just beyond the Angmeri ng station, saw ' a s h o rt distance before him, and near the Ruslington Brook crossing (occupation road), an old man trudging towards the avoid, havingp all the br ea ks o n e, the danger possible, Littlehampton station, on the six-feet spac e b etween the up and down trains. He immediately used the stea m - w hi st l e , and finding that no notice was taken of the sou n d, h e con which appeared imminent. The man turned out t o b e an aged agricultural labour er, 74 y ears of age, Scott by name. ' on, at t h o r e d s e a r me to time Being very deaf, he did n ot hear the whistle, and it would con tinued train a itno put use i seem that his attention was attracted to some boys, who were playing by the side of the railway southward, for just before the train reached him he stepped from the six-foot middle space to the down line, and was immediately knocked down by the engine. As soon es possible, the driver " brought up." It was then found that one a im an d one leg had been completely severed from the body, and the foot was so firmly wedged into the side of the " metal," at the Ruslington Brook-crossing, that it could not be removed without the aid of a crowbar. The poor fellow was of course killed on the spot. ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL.-- The Rev. R.

The accounts from Madrid are of the 18th inst. The Court is to leave for Aranjuez in the begin ning of April. General JOAQUIN AJMER°, lately appointed Cap tain-General of Estramadura, had gone to take leave of Queen CHRISTINA, at Aranjuez, and was to proceed from thence to Badajoz. The QUEEN intended to present the POPE with a splendid painting of MURILLO, and a number of car riage horses from the royal stables of Aranjuez. The Gazette contains a decree giving the Canary Islands a new administrative organization. Those islands are in future to be divided into two districts. The first will comprise the islands of Teneriffe, Go mere, Palma, and klierro ; and the second, the Great Canary, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. The Three per Cents. were done at 39i for time ; the New Three per Cents. at 191; the Debt of the First Class at 7i; that of the Second Class, at 5 3.16; and the Coupons, at 9i. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, states that a meeting of the different parties composing the two Chambers of Prussia had been held, for the purpose of coming to an understanding as to the duration of the prorogation. M. DE MANTEUFFEL, the Minister, had been invited to attend, but had refused, as he said that the Government would not consent to a pro rogation of more than ten or twelve days. The Cassel Gazette, which is said to be in com munication with the Hanoverian Cabinet, publishes an analysis of the protest made by Hanover against the interference of the Diet in the question pending between the Government and the equestrian order of Hanover. It is stated in a letter from Vienna that the two Grand Dukes of Russia, who are now there, have brought an invitation from th e Emperor of RUSSIA to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. to be present at the intended grand fetes in Warsaw in the month of June. DENMARK. The Ministry have successfully passed through the Parliamentary crisis, the Opposition in the Diet having concluded not to pass the address of non-con fidence, in consequence of the explanations made by the Ministry with regard to the great dangers of a change of Ministry under the present critical and unsettled relations of the country. Both Chambers have set aside the address and adopted, on the 16th inst., by large majorities, the following resolution:— " Resolved, that though entertaining apprehensions with regard to the carrying out of the principles of the Royal manifesto of the 28th of January last, the Cham. ber, acknowledging it to be inadvisable, under the ex isting circumstances, to adopt the proposed address, decides to proceed with the discussion of the order of the day." The Diet having thus decided not to resist the policy proclaimed in the Royal manifesto of the 28th of January, all the obstacles which have hitherto been in the way of the definitive settlement of the Danish question, both with respect to the constitu tional organization of the country and the arrange ment of the succession, may be regarded as removed. With respect to the succession, the choice of an English Prince—one of Queen VICTORIA'S younger sons—has lately been proposed by some of the Danish papers. The choice of a successor to the Danish Crown cannot, however, be regarded as any longer open. The House of Hesse and the Emperor of RUSSIA, whose eventual rights to the succession in different parts of the present monarchy interfered with the establishment of a common law of succes sion for the whole country, have renounced all their claims and pretensions expressly and solely in favour of Prince CHRISTIAN of Holstein- Glucksburg as suc cessor to the sovereignty over the whole monarchy; and this choice has met the approval of all the great Powers. The choice of Prince CHRISTIAN is emi nently a " Danish" choice, and perhaps the only one that could be made as satisfactory both to Denmark and to all the great Powers. The choice of any Prince be longing to one of the reigning families among the great Powers would be certain to meet with the op position of the rest of those Powers. The prorogation of the Danish Diet is expected to take place on the 20th inst. The Diet will meet again in October. EGYPT. Intelligence has been received from Alexandria to the 7th instant. Nothing has been decided relative to the Turco- Egyptian question. It appears certain that the last letter of ABBAS PACHA has irritated the SULTAN, and that ABDUI•MEDJID sent it back to the Grand Visir with an annotation in the margin, to the effect that "he could not, he ought not, and he would not consent to give up the point relative to the Tanzimat." If is, in consequence, supposed that the next letter to the VICEROY will be of a menacing character, and will order him absolutely to obey the decision of the Porte. The representations of Sir S. CANNING are not looked on as serious. The other legations abstain altogether. The VICEROY has just returned to Cairo, from his excursion to Upper Egypt, and it was not yet known what effect the last news from Constanti nople had on him. On the 29th February four Pachas had arrived at Alexandria from Constantinople, in the Meeljdie steamer. It was said that they were proceeding t o Mecca, and that they were charged to land a letter to the VICEROY on their way. They at once set out for Cairo. Th e works on the sectio n of the railway between corn ne. Alexandria and Dam auhour had b een atlast menced, although but little has been d howeve r, showg that the enterprise ha o sn not This,been abandoned. The Duke DE LEUCHTENBURG was expected at Alexandria on the 7th March, and was immediately to embark in the French steamer, the Osiris, for Marseilles. The American Minister had an interview with Lord eickheiiter yesterday at the Beard et Trade. . r , f
