btrti 12bttion+ SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. FRANCE. - - The last number of the Courrier de la DrOnie con tains the following account of the proceedings of the Commission appointed to decide on the fate of the insurgents arrested in that department : " The mixed Commission, constituted by the Ministers of Justice, the Interior, and War, is performing its duties without a moment's delay. It has set 383 indi viduals at liberty, who are placed under the surveillance of the police. 900 are to be transported to Africa for five years, 84 to Africa for ten years, 14 to Cayenne, 11 to be expelled the French territory; tha residence of 21 to be restricted to determined portions of the French territory; 11 are to be tried by court-martial, and 16 by the police-court. One individual who used seditious language after he had been set at liberty was immediately ordered for transportation to Africa." A letter from Valenciennes mentions that the Princess Naraki, granddaughter of the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, had arrived in that town. She is accompanied by the Lady Superior of the Order of Se. Vincent de Paul. The object of her visit is to become a member of the Sisters of Providence. During a journey to Paris after the death of her father she abjured the Russian-Greek faith, and became a Catholic. The Princess was edified by the exemplary life of the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Vincent de Paul, and she has resolved to finish her life among them. The first procession of beeuf gras took place yes terday, and was not inferior to any before the revolu tion of February. The Bouvelards and the streets through which the cortege passed were thronged with people. At ten o'clock the cortege issued from the Hippodrome in presence of an admiring and oven then crowdediattendance. It was opened with the fanfares of trumpets ; then came the car of industry, drawn by six white horses, and led by an allegorical personage representing France, and having at his side two persons, also allegorical, representing the arts and sciences. Behind the car banners were borne by operetlees, who had volunteered for the duty. A band of military music preceded the Car of Agriculture, drawn by two oxen with gilded horns, and containing the Goddess that presides over the harvests, accompanied by her mythological cortege, and followed by banners borne by persons represent ing the various branches of the agricultural art. The animal himself destined to be the great ornament and the victim of the fete moved along with much majesty ; he was a fine specimen of his kids—large, but not too unwieldy, and well-propor tioned. The streets he passed throught it would be too numerous to mention. The cortege stopped at the Elysee, the English Embassy, the Russian Em hasay, the Foreign Office, and the hotels of the other Ministers, the Prefecture, and other public establish meats, to receive the usual gratuity. The beeuf Bras, after a second preoesnade on Tuesday, will be trans ferred to the abattoir, and'his earthly career ended. The Moniteur contains a long report from the Minister of Marine end Colonies to the Prince PRE tIDENT of the Republie, on the removal of the bagnes out of France. He considers it desirable that French Guyana should be choien as the seat of the new peni tentiary establishments, the climate being more tempe rate than might be supposed from the latitude, the ma lediee usual to hot countries very rare and not severe; the average deaths at Cayenne are fewer than in the tedjecsnt English colonies ; and there being vast forests capable of supplying wood for civil and mili tary conQtructi3m, and there are no hostile tribes. The Miaister then states that in order not to subject eeviets to transportation against their will, wheb would have been adding to the severity of the law, he caused registers to he opened in the bagnes n; Brest, Teulon , and Realtefera for receiving the mites of these willing to go, and that already about thrze thousand have voluNtrered. All, husv , :nz‘r, are not to he sent oft at once; but are to go in detachments ; and to prevent their escepe or, incoueenience to the colony, they are to lot: deposited in islands near the coast 7.2 71 the establishments on the mainland s'n . be prepared. The convics may, he Fii:y ', be _employed in cultivating the land, and to those woo conduct themselves well concessions of land may be made. He has resolved that the convicts shall he fed like prisoners of war, be lodged like the troops in the colonial garrisons, and be clothed as the climate may require. They will not be required to wear chains, except as a means of punishment. They are tar be kept in order by a military force, gendarmes, police, &c. They are to be accompanied by a chaplain, and an hospital is to be established. The expense of the removal, es tablishment, &c., is estimated at 4,245,000 f, for which credits were opened by the decrees of the 20th December and 9th January. The Minister concludes by stating that a commission, nominated by the departments of Justice and Marine, is engaged in collecting the elements of a decree for regulating for the future the transportation of convicts to Guyana, and that after zuch a decree shall be passed the bagnes will cease to ex: ee The PRESIDENT of the Republic has expressed approbation of all the details of this report. We learn," says the Pays, "that the governors of various provinces in Spain have forwarded to the Ministry proclamations which had been seized, and which were all worded in the view of a change in the Spanish Government. These proclamations arrived in the various provinces on February 2, the day of MERINO'S attempt on QUEEN'S life." GERMANY. In the sitt;Gg of the first Chamber, at Berlin, on the 17th, a motion was brought forward, declaring that the preservation of the Provincial Diets was contrary to law ; this motion gave rise to a debate, in the course of which the President of the Council used the following language : "It has been said that the Ministry ought to resig n. For my part, Gentlemen, I should be most happy to do so, for is is no pleasure to sit on this bench. But, I declare to you, I do not sit here in virtue of the resolu tion of a party or of even a majority. I em in this poition, because I am placed in it by hi 3 Majesty's commands; and I shall maintain it as long as the King orders me." The discussion was then adjourned to the next day. SWITZERLAND.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BOYS WITH GUNS AND THEIR BAD CONSEQUENCES. — This nuisance has now become so great, that it surprises us it is so long tolerated. The highways, the fields, and farmyards, are swarming with gunners, and there is no walking out without a great risk of getting a shot. While the object of these fellows is professedly to kill sparrows and small birds, they are breaking the farmers' and cottagers' windows, shooting their ducks, fowls, and pigeons; but a few days since one of these worthies shot a cow. The weddings of their guns is composed of rags, common paper, rope yarn, and other substances danger ous to the thatched roofs of houses, barns, and ricks. Ou Friday evening last a large hayrick, at Moor, worth up wards of 100 k, was set fire to and nearly all destroyed, it is supposed by the wadding of one of these sportsmen's guns. The owner had not left the rick-yard above ten minutes when the fire was discovered. The town fire engines were immediately sent for, and being at less than half a mile distance. one was soon on the spot; but in the haste the hose and the buckets were forgotten. The en gine was therefore useless for a time. The fire com menced at about half-past six o'clock, and was not got entirely under till past one, though two engines were employed, one from a well fortunately not five yards from the rick, and the other from a pond about 100. The cow-houses, cart-houses, &c., were within two yards of the rick, but were saved. ICE.—The mildness of the winter having precluded the possibility of filling the different icehouses, the idea was almost given up for the season. In the early part of the week 80 tons were landed here from Southamp ton, for her Majesty's icehouses at Osborne; but the frost was so severe on Thursday and Friday nights last, that all the carts, waggons, and even donkey carts in this neighbourhood, were put in requisition, and the ice (about half an inch thick) from all the ponds for miles skimmed off and taken to the royal yacht squadron and other icehouses, giving employment to a great many poor men, and finding food for numerous families. The German emigrants who have been so long de tained here in the American ship " France" sailed ou Friday. They aro much indebted to our Queen for her kindness to them, as she supplied them with soup and coffee daily during their stay, and as they had their ships' rations, they did not do badly. They had also medical attendance. In all they must have cost her Majesty full 7001. Two births and two marriages were celebrated during their stay. NEWPORT RIVERIMPROVEMENT;BILL — Thegood folks of Newport are making another attempt to improve their town at the expense of their neighbours. They propose to deepen the river near Newport (which is now dry at low water), to enable boats and vessels to reach the qday at all times. The Cowes people have no objection to their doing this more than they have to their widen ing their roads, provided they do it at their own ex pense; .but they are determined that they will not fur nish the funds.. They will not tamely submit to be • taxed to carry out any wild scheme their inland friends • may get into their heath , . They cannot see why they should pay la. per ton tax on their coals, Is. Bd. on their salt, 3s. 4,1. on their furniture, and Is. Bd. on their earthenware; even a portmanteau must pay a penny, us must a lady's lap-Jog. And for what ? Why, to make a seaport of an inland town. It is but a few years since the same parties attempted to get a Bill through Par liament, which declared that—" the bed and soil of the river was the property of tho mayor and corporation of Newport, from highwater-mark on the one side to high watermark on the other; and that they should hays the right to take up the soil from the middle and place it at the sides of the river, and sell all the land so recovered." Thus depriving the owners of the land of the whole river frontage.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS: The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. A great number of spectators were assembled in the galleries and on the steps of the throne to hear the Mi nisterial explanations. The Peeress's gallery was also filled. The Government was represented by the Earl of Carlisle, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and Lord Mint% The attendance of Peers was not more numerous than The The Marquis Duke of Welli ng t on was one of th e ear li est s arriv a ls. ual o f L ans downe did no t arr i ve until some time after fi ve o ' cloc k . usual. COUNTY COURT EXTENSION BILL. Lord BROUGHAM said that he wished to intimate to their Loadships that he had been enabled to frame a clause which would meet all the difficulties which had been suggested in the course of the debate the other night._ _ Lord CAMPBELL suggested that the clause should be printed. MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS. After.a pause of some considerable time, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose for the purpose of moving that the order of the day standing on the paper for Friday next, for the appointment of a Committee for considering the affairs of India, be discharged. In that motion he believed their Lordships would readily acquiesce, whenthey heard that the ground upon which he made it was a circumstance which Imust be known already to all, that her Majesty's present Ministers only held office until their successors were appointed. In making this announcement, ho was anxious to make to observation whatever calculated to excite any difference of opinion, or even, to provoke any sort of discussion.. lie should have &Abed so to abstain under any circumstances, but more especially in the ab sence of a Noble Earl, a very valued, Trieed of his, though a political opponent, from whom he had, within the lust few hours, received a commuuicatiou that ha had ac cepted office, and Was ;It present engaged in forming a new administratiou.—(Hear, hear.) In that task it was impossible for him to afford him any assistance, and he was sure he shohld be the last man to create, if it were possible, the slightest shadow of embarrassment to the formation of the-Ministry now being formed, or any other; because they were told that besides that there were concealed in that country many auonyineus Administrations ready to conduct Ler Msje*ty'4 affairs, but too wiso to make themselves known. He had always been of opinion that it was im possible to prolong the existence of a Ministry which had ceased to obtain that support 'which was nE,ce aary to enable them to conduct :the affairs of the country with efficiency, ad therefori when the Nohie LIM et the head of the Governmeat b ad communicated . to him early on Saturday morning th,e 'course which he had t a k en en the previous eNening:, ho had 'at once eekin u , c d in it.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY AND RIVER DUN COMPANY. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to make the Isle of Axholme Ex tension Bill, Lord GALLOWAY opposed the second reading, and called upon the House to throw the Bill out. The Bill, he said, was in truth presented by the Great Northern Company, but in order to obtain an undue advantage in Committee, they had substituted the name of the South Yorkshire Company for their own. He moved as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. CHRISTOPHER supported the original motion, and denied that this was a Great Northern Bill at all. Sir J. COLEBROOKE thought great injustice would be done if the House refused to' send this Bill before a Committee. Mr. H. BERKELEY said the Bill had been stigma tised as a job, but it was no such thing. The Bill was intended to sanction a bona fide scheme that would confer great benefit upon the public, and he hoped the House would negative the amendment. The Bill was in no way connected with the Great Northern at al!. The fact was this Bill was opposed by a gentleman named Milnes, who wanted to direct the line into such ii direction as to take in a 'mansion and an estate which he wanted to get rid of. Mr. M. MILNES protested against the private affairs of his friends being meddled with by the House. His relative did not want to part with his mansion; far from it, for the mansion and the estate attached to it was settled upon himself and his children, should he ever have any—(Roars of laughter)—and the Manes family would cling to it until they were driven out by the force of the law.—(Hear, hear.) After some further discussion the House divided, when there 'appeared— For the second reading 113 Against it ... . . ... 222 Majority ... ~-109 MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. SPOONER postponed his motion with regard to the College of Maynooth until after Easter.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Bill was consequently thrown out. JOINT-STOCK COMPANY. Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice that he would on an early day ask-for leave to introduce a Bill to limit the liability of members of joint-stock companies. LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. Mr. SLANBY gave notice of a motion with regard to an alteration of the law with respect to 'industrial partnership. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. A return was agreed to of the correspondence which' had passed between the Colonial-office and the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE. Mr. HUME asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, after the promise made in the last session to inquire, any steps had bleu taken for bringing the obe litk known under the name of Cleopatra's Needle, and which had been presented to George IV. by the late Mohammed Ali, Pacha of Egypt, to England? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it was thought Cleopatra's Needle was not worth the expense of removal to this country. CAPTAIN PENNY.. Mr. ANSTEY would postpone his motion tespeeting Captain Penny until the new Gortrtment was formed. — (A lnugb.) AUSTRIA._ In reply to Mr. PXOCHRA.NE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said a dispatch bad been re ceived from Prince Schttartznburgb, on the part of the Austrian Government, with regard to foreign refugees in England, but be could not say whether it was the same es that which appeared in the journals of to-day. Mr. .COWAN, who - vas sitting in the gallery over the clock, here called out—" Mr. Speaker, I postpone my motion which is on the paper to a more convenient opportunity."—(Loud laughter, cries of" Oh," and order.) MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. At five o'clock the body of the House, was com pletely filled. All the niembars of the Govern ment were 'present. as well, as the chief Members of the Opp osition.. We noticed that Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Gladstone, and Major Beresford, were particularly restless, They frequently left their seats, and entered into conversation with political colleagues in different parts of the House. The entrance of Lord John was a signal for loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers. Lord Palmerston took his seat on the great bench past the gangway, but was not noticed on entering. The noise and confusion in the House until Lord John Russell i Jse was so great that the Members who took part in the discussion on private business were scarcely heard in the gallery. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, after the occurrences of last Friday night the House will be prepared for the announcement I have now to make.— (Liehr, hear.) At a meeting of her Majesty's servants on Saturday, we considered what course it was ii:r= cumbent upon us to pursue ; it appeared - to Mt that it was impossible to carry on satisfactorily the business of the Government in this House after the event's Of the preceding night. We considered the snarl n Majesty to use her prerogative of dissolving Parliament, but we considered that there ive of advi si ng the were such grave objections to such a course that we ulti mately declined to' recommend it to her Majesty. We, therefore, determined to lay our resignation before her Majesty, which I accordingly did in the . course of the afternoon.-(gear, hear.) Her Majesty was gritei ously pleased to accept our resignation, and has shwa sent for my Lord Derby, who' is understood to have undertaken the task of framing a Government.—(Cheers.) We therefore merely hold office : until our successors are appointed.—(Hear; hear.) Sir, after this statement I do not wish tci'rCiirr to the various events which have taken place since the commencement of the session, and - which will, no doubt,; form the subject of - debate' hereafter.--(llear, hear.) Sir, I cannot conclude what' I have to say on this occasion without expressing Any' sincere thanks to those who have supported the Govern-. merit, and who, during upwards of five years, have ' enabled the Government to carry out measures of great ' public importance.-(Cheers) Having their confidence, and having had the advantage of their support, I ,have been enabled during that period -so to conduct the affairs ! of the country, that we are new enabled to leave, the business, both as respects the foreign and domestic relations, in a state that we need, not be ashamed of.—(Cheers.) I wishfarther to say with respect to one of my colleagues to whom I am pe culiarly indebted, that it is owing to the temperate wisdom end the high character of my Lord Lansdowne, that-the Government have ebtained great facilities in the House of Lords, and been thus enabled to carry many important measures which would otherwise have required the assistance of a more prominent Minister.— (Hear, hear.) Sir, as I have said, I do not wish to recur to past events, or indeed to dilate upon anything that may raise a difference of opinion in this House.—(Haar, hear.) As for the future, I will only say, that I shall think it my duty to oppose out of office, as I have opposed in office, any restoration of du; duty on cavl4--(Cheers)—whether under the naix.e of protectionor revenue.—( Renewed cheers.) I shall also think it nay duty to support an extension of the suffrage to those who are fitted to exercise' tho franchise for the welfare and happiness of , the people, :be having that such an extension will add strength mad solidity to our Parliamentary institutions.—(Cheerr.) I would say, further, that I shall always *use the little influence I may possess for the maintenance of the bless ings of peace.—(Renewed cheers.) I have only farther to any that since -I came into /he House I have received- a communication from Lc.rd Derby, stating that it was his wish and that it won Id facilitate his arrangements if this House would adjourn until Friday.—(lltar, hear.) In consequence of that communication I have to request that all business ratty suspended , bd suded for the present, and I will, therefore, move , that the House at its rising do adjourn until Friday. ... .. Mr. HUME expressed a hop that on Friday next the new Government would explain to the House the policy theY intended to pursue.—(toud laughter and cheers.) H. had hoard it rumoured that this House would •:not meet again, and he could not think that such *an Ad vantage would ba taken by those who bad an opportunity afforded them of cominglforward and stating their polio y. For his own part he would be a strenuous advocate of 1 41 1 0. measures, without regard to either party in' on House, a n d would also support the carrying out of fr i e trade b e y ond the limits to - which it, now extended,— ' (Loud l aughter lrom the Opposition.) The motion was then put and agreed to.

SUICIDE Off' A MASTER OF A Slitu.—On Saturday the subjoined details were received, communicating an extraordinary attempt on the part of Mr. James Gilmour M'Bride, the commander of the British ship Troy, ba twohnegn on be longing Mr. Duncan Gibb, of Liverpool,'to destroy his vessel ' aLd t h en hi s own life. It appears that the ” vessel had bee n to C a lif orn ia and Manilla, and her last port was Si ngapore . Sh e , was bound fgt. Bombay, t last, while' the the vessel was about forty Miles off evening of. the B th of December Ph had li enau e g b , u ' C in ap t !a s i t n at Me of 'B riidnet,oxwichaotlowit fo sh r o s u e l v d era he l d o ay bs s erved,, pre viously, set fire to a large qUantity of gunpowder that was stored in his cabin. The crew were startled by the explosion and smoke which is3ued up the companion, and immediately afterwards M'Bride rushed on deck with liTs'elotheS on fire, e xclaiming, "I have blown up the ship." Thi s alarming announcement caused the' officers to hUrry down below, when they saw that the place was on fire. All hands were ordered aft to txtingutsh it, and after some time, through great exertion en their part, the fire was got under, which Otherwise would have caused the total destruction of the ship. Captain M'Bride on cowing up went to the helmsman andAdemanding his knife, said, " The vessel; is go'ne, cut away the stern boat." The man refusing, M'Bride drew a pistol and attempted to shoot him. lie pulled the trigger twice, but it fortunately missed fire. The man apprehending from the smoke which was coming up the cabin, that the vessel was really on fire, gave the captain a .knife, who instantly jumped into the stern boat and cut away one of the falls. The. boat fell, and he was precipitated into the sea. One of the crew then insured the other fall of the boat, in order that the' Captain,. who was struggling in the water, might get into it, which he accAr.plishecl after some hard swim ming. The long boat was then lowered, and the crew succeeded in bringing the unfortunate man on board. Ile was in a meat exhausted condition, not only from the' effects hi the immersion, but from the burns he had sustained by the force of the explosion, part of his clothes having been burnt off. Every attention the officers could show him was rendered, but he survived but a ' few hOurs. The ship was then put back tb Penang, Where it arrived on the 9th with the re mains of the deceased captain. On the circumstances attending the unfortunate man's death coming to the an thorities, a coroner's inquiry took, place, and the ju4, after hearing the statements of the came to the Unanimous verdict that the deceased died crew, rom the effects of excessive drinking, coupled with injuries received from explheion by gunpowder. The extreordine.ry pre servation of 'the ship and crew excited considerablh notice:at - Penang, and some surprise was manifested that means bad not been taken by the crew to place some re straint over the misguided commander, and thereby,have avoided a much more serious catastrophe. -,EVENING, ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CißCUlT.—Appleby, Feb. 20. , Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Creswell ar rived here yesterday afternoon from Lancaster, and im mediately proceeded to the court and opened the com mission. The good people of this primitive county town, alarmed by the rumours of removing the assizes to the more central and convenient site of Kendal, which were rife when the hereditary shrievalty of the county ceased, and the judges were deprived of their accustomed l o dgings at the castle, are making vigorous attempts to re t a in their ancient privilege. New lodgings have been and a rumour o f " a ra il roa d to Appleby" cpisorouvrit provided forthe judges, in addition to improving the home, i n dustriously propagated. It may not be without mi. lity to bring suddenly back to our view the manners and habits and means of locomotion of our ancestors, and to co mpel all those having business at- the county assize twice a year to l eave the rail, with its business like punctu alit y and rapidity and comfort, and resort impelled by horses fresh from the plough, and driven by the ra west of drivers, not forgetting the anc i e nt quiddam of ls. 6 d. a mile, toll-gates and driver.

DISCONTINUANCE OF ADMIRALTY LEVEES.--In Con "sf quence of the break-up of the Russell Ministry, Sir Francis Baring has discontinued his levees. THE NEW FIRST LORD.—We believe there is not the least doubt that his Grace Rear-Admiral the Duke of Northumberland will succeed Sir F. Baring as the First Lord of the Admiralty. The other members of the new Board have not yet been decided upon, but it is generally understood that Commodore Sir Thomas Her= bert, K.C.8., will be in the new patent. Rear-Admiral the Hen. - M. F. P. Berkeley,. C. 8., left the Admiralty, on Saturday, for Chiehester. The Gallant Admiral returns to the Admiralty today. The Pantaloon, 8, Commander Hyde Parker, arrived yesterday a Lernoon at Portsmouth, from St. Augus tine's Bay, Madagascar, which the left on the 18th De cember. She was off the Cape on Christmas-day, but did not touch there; touched at . St. Helena the 12Th JanattrY, and Ascension, the 18th. There was uo ship of war at St. Helena. The Penelope steam frigate, Commodore Bruce, arrived at Ascension the day the Pantaloon left. The Athol store-ship was also at that anchorage. The Pantaloon brings no news. For the last week she has had bad weather. She has been two years and eight months in commission, and, after being inspected to-morrow, will come into Portsmouth Her hour to pay off. Mr. Irvine, mate, and Mr. Deuce, master's assistant, have come home in the Pantaloon, - Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, made her-number, and anchored about five o'clock at Spithead, yesterday afternoon. BRITISH SEAMEN SHIPPING TO AMERICA AND CALI FORNIA.—Wo are sorry to understand that a number of our best seamen are proceeding to America, where it appears they are better paid, and some go on to Cali fornia to take their chance at the diggings. A gang lately paid off from the Southampton, paid their passage in one of the packet ships from London to, New York, and were on board when the ship touched at Ports mouth. Several of the seamen lately paid off from the liecla, also paid their passage and embarked at• Port smouth to New York. DEVONPORT DOCKYARD SAVINGS BANK.—At the recent annual meeting of the savings brink in this esta blishment the sum of 25/, was voted to Mr. Scott, seceiV class clerk, the actuary, as a small token of the high estimation of the masters and managers of his zealous and efficient services for a period of 34 years. Mr. Scott, with great delicacy, declined to receive a present in money, and the trustees and managers have since presented him with a handsome silver salver, bearing a suitable inscription—the product of the sum of money voted. • Clerk in Charge—William Elliott has been appointed to the Herald surveying -vessel, fitting at Chatham. Clerk—Richard Monday has been appointed to the Impregnable flag-ship, Devonport. Diligence naval transport, Mitchell, master, sailed from Devonport on Saturday with stores for the squad ron at Cork. Camel lighter, arrived at Devonport on Friday, with stores from Deptford and Portsmouth. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 21.—The crew of her Majesty's steam-ship Vesuvius bent sails yesterday. To. morrow she will be removed from Hamoaze to Barnpool, when her compasses will be adjusted and her crew will be paid advance. The steam-frigate Vulture, having taken in coals, was placed on her moorings yesterday. There being no dock vacant here to receive the Are thusa, 50, Captain Symonds, she sailed on Thursday for Portsmouth. She -had previously obtained si clean bill of health. The brig Pilot was paid off alongside the jetty on Wednesday. . A dock is preparing for the Sampson steam-frigate on her return from the coast of Africa. _ _The Commodore-Superintendent has - caused a minute' to be published, cautioning all persons employed in the dockyard from furnishing information to newspapers. i The.whule of the clerks were cautioned in presence of the principals. On Wednesday a joiner named Hooper, carrying a plank ou his shoulder in the dockyard, was driven by the wind against the south-west angle of the officers' department, and unfortunately had his skull fractured, and died the same evening. On Thursday a man named on a caisson in the Keightun Madder, while working - Stcatnyard, fell from a stage, fractured his skull, and died on Friday in the South D evo n HCspital. eo C n o , lo p n r e . l i E rt e n rdte7gest, inspected on Thursday the staff, of the 77th Regiment, and his sur g of the South Devon Militia. The Noble Colnne!, the Earl o f jg or l e y, was present, with Captain Fi s k, th e adjutant, Dr. Butler, and Captain Ralph, the quarter master. The directors of the Bristol and Exeter' Railway Company have at length entered into an arrangement with the Electric Telegraph Company f or l ay i ng down the electric wires on their line. Thfs will compl e t e the commun i ca tion from London to E xeter. It is to b e hoped that a similar arrangement will be made on the adequate for its own requ i rements, and, from South Devon line, the wires on which -at present are scarcely iiicffieie nt management, especially in stormy weather, are a frequent source of disappointment and vexation. SUEEttNESS. FED. 21,—Her Majesty's ship Waterloo, 120, flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Joseeline Percy, will comp out of the basin to-day and be moored off the north pad of the dockyard. Her Majesty's ship Horatio, 24 (screw steam guard ship), has "Shipped and mounted her main-deck guns. Her ordnance stores arrived on Thursday from Chatham in the gun boy. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Cyclops has fitted her new bowsprit and jibboom. Her lower yards aro crossed, topmasts fielded, and her topmast rigging is being set up. On, examination it is found that the defects will occupy a longer period than was expected, and her being removed from the dry dock is deferred until the 3d-of March. The very strong winds from the -north-west which prevailed during Wednesday and the following day have caused some damage to the shipping on the coast. Early on . Thursday morning the brig Polly, from Shields, for London, laden with coals, grounded on the Mouse Sand, and as the tide ebbed sank by the head considerably, and lies in a.very precarious . situation, It is very doubtful if she will get off again. The collier brig Rival, of Sunderland, bound for Lon don, came into port yesterday in a leaky state, having four feet of water in her hold. She struck twice on the Gunfleet during the gale which came on on Thursday morning. Ano_ther brig (light), but whose name from the, hazy state of the atmosphere codld not be made out, ,Was observed lying in South-west reach with her main mast carried away. On Friday morning the Nore was completely covered with vessels, there being 200 tinder sail. • APPOINTMENTS. NrOOLWICII, FEB. 21.—Lieutenants—Sir James A.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS: LIVERPOOL,, FEB. 21.—There is no active businesi passing to-day, but there are symptoms of a better demand from the interior. Prices fully maintained. MANCHESTER, FEB. 21.—The trade throughout tlfe week has continued to rule exceedingly inactive, few sales occurring in any articles. The arrivals from all sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are only to a moderate amount. Oar market this morning was of a lifeless character, and although holders ors evinced much unwillingness to lower their pretensions, huyers of wheat had the turn of prices in their favour. Flour met a slow sale at the rates current on this day se'nnight. Oats were rather easier to buy, but oatmeal remained steady in value. NOTTINVHAM, FEB. 21.—A slight tendency downwards still manifested at most of our local markets, par ticularly with regard to wheat and barley.
