PORTSMOUTH," OCT. 28.—The Comet steamer, Lieu tenant-Commanding Charlei IL Johnson, sailed last evening for Ireland, where she is to be employed under the orders of Commissary-General Ilewetson. She has been armed to be prepared for attack or defence, if necessary. The officers and crews of the Avenger steam-frigate, Captain W. Williams, have been turned over to the Amphion, 36, steam-frigate, at Woolwich, and took pissage to-day with their baggage in the provision depot Belvidera, Naster-Comrhanding P. Wellington, to join her. The latter was towed out of harb.ur to-day by the Echo, and sailed for Deptford, where she embarks provisions for the coast of Scotland. The semaphore telegraph on the Port-Admiral's house, iu the dockjard, to communicate with the flag-ship, has recently been removed from one of the wings to the top of the central building, where a " hurricane house" is in the course of construction for the shelter of the men employed in working it, it having been Once blown off in a gale, fortunrtely without damage. If great care is not taken in securing it, a heavy gale will be likely to .en , -1 it into some of the streets in Portsea. The removal of the apparatus from the wing to the top of the main building is caused by the progress of the erection of the new boat-house, which stands directly in the way of the line of communication from the wing of the mansion'to the Victory and flag-ship in the harbour. To surmount this difficulty, the above alteration is in progress. OCT. 29.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, went out of harbour at daylight this morning, and having taken on board her powder, shot, shells, &c„ left this afternoon to join the squadron of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker (for whom she carries Admiralty despatches of importance), off Lisbon. She also took out reinforcements and letters for the ships of the squa dron. The Naiad coal and store ship, for Callao, was com missioned this morning, by Mr. W. L. Brown, Master (1S31), who is appointed to command her. The Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, will be stripped to her girtlines this evening. The Cambrian, 36, was brought alongside the jetty this morning, to take on board her iron ballast. • The Echo -tug returned into harbour last evening, after towingthe Belvidera out clear of the Owers, and was immediately despatched out again, to tow in an American ship, disabled outside of the Isle of Wight, which sho took down to Cowes, to which port her cargo belonged.

TESTIMONIAL TO MISS HELEN FAUCIT.-MO3t Of our readers will remember that, upon the revival of the Greek drama in Dublin some two years ago, a number of gentlemen, distinguished in literature and art, and admirers of Miss Helen Faucit's noble impersonation of Antigone, presented her with an address expressive of their high estimation of her talents. With this address was intended to have been presented an ornament, a de scription of which, from the design of Mr. Burton, we gave on a former occasion. This ornament, which is in the form of an antique brooch, has, owing to the costly and elaborate nature of the workmanship upon it, been necessarily a long time in the artist's hands. It has, however, been completed for some months, and the delay which has since occurred arose from the desire of the committee to present it to Miss Faucit in person, on the occasion of her next visit to Ireland. On Friday, there fore, it was presented by a deputation from the sub scribers, when Miss Faucit expressed her extreme gra tification at the beauty of the ornament, and returned thanks for what she considered the proudest memorial of her professional career. The brooch is entirely of native gold, and measures about three inches in dia meter. In the centre is an exquisitely formed figure in high relief of Antigone bending over the urn of Polynyces, set in a concave disc of white enamel, bearing the word " Antigone" around it in ancient Greek charac ters. On either side of this medallion are tragic masks of Antigone and Cteon, entwined within the coils of the Cadmian serpent, surrounded by a concave fillet, in which are set three large emeralds of the finest water ; the whole enclosed in a wreath of the sacred olive. In dependent of the classic elegance of the design, it is a specimen of workmanship, and that too of the highest order, of which any couutry may be proud, and speaks well for the present rising condition of the arts amongst us. It reflects great credit on the house of Mr. West, and particularly on Mr. Teare, who, we understand, is the workman who has thus so successfully carried out the original design. A suitable inscription, expressive of the admiration which the lovers of the drama enter tain of Miss Helen Faucit's embodiment of the highest and noblest conceptions, both of our own and ancient times, will, we hear, be engraved on the reverse of the ornament. We recognised the brooch as clasping the folds of Antigone's drapery on Saturday night last.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. WHITTINGTON CLUB AND METROPOLITAN ATHE• NIEUM.—The first general meeting of the members of this infant institution took place on Thurday evening at the Hall of Corn merce, Threadneedle-street. The enrolment of members, which has gone on rapidly since the public meeting three weeks ago, was continued until the b.isi ness of this meeting commenced, nearly 100 having been enrolled ; and there were then about 250 members pre sent, including several ladies. The ebair was taken, at about half-past seven o'clock, by Mr. William Howitt, amidst the most loud and general applause. Mr. G. W. Yapp read a report from the provisional committee, which acknowledged the obligations of the institution to the press generally, for their favourable notices. Up wards of 500 members, it was stated, had been proposed for enrolment, and many others had expressed their de termination to become members when a site was chosen for the institution. Appended to the report was a series of resolntions, defining the objects, settling the rules of the institution, and appointing a committee of upwards of 70 ladies and gentlemen to manage the affairs of the club, until the annual meeting in May next. The sixth resolution anthorised the committee to take steps for opening, as early as might be, two institutions,—one as near as possible to the Royal Exchange. and the other to Temple-bar. The report being received, the resolu tions were moved and seconded seriatim, and, after considerable discussion on some of them, unanimously adopted. THE BERWICK BANK ROBBERY.—The trial of Jane Thomson, charged with the robbery of the Berwick Bank, took place at Berwick Sessions on Monday and Tuesday last. The extraordinary circumstances of the robbery, which have been so often mentioned in the newspapers during the examinations before the magis trates, caused the Court to be crowded. Mrs. Thomson, it will be remembered, is the wife of the manager of the Berwick Bank, and on the night of the 20th of August last, during his absence from home, the bank safe was opened, and a sum exceeding 3,0001. in gold and notes was abstracted.

U OCTOBER 31, 1846. pleasant business ; ..- organ quarter sessions, he had had to administer punishment for offences against the laws, it was now a very pleasing, duty to preside at a meeting for the formation of a society which was to reward' the honest and industri ous.—(Cheers.) The High Sheriff concluded by read ing letters from H. Ker Seymour, Esq., M.P., and the Rev. H. F. Yeatman, apologising for absence, and then called on The Lord Bishop of SALISBURY, who proposed the first resolution. His Lordship said he had listened with great pleasure to the observations with which the'High Sheriff had introduced the business of the meeting, and in which he had in some measure anticipated some re marks which he might otherwise have ,been dispoied to make. He would proceed at once to read a resolution which was entrusted to him, and which was to this effect:—" That it is obvious that the present state and condition of the labouring classes are such as to give oc .casion for the immediate efforts of an energetic and well directed benevolence to produce a permanebt aficreffectual improvement in their condition." Ire felt that this reso: lution might more properly, in some respects, have been committed to the charge of those around him ,' who, from, their own personal acquaintance with the condition of the labourers, and more especially with the condition of the labourers of this county, would be enabled to sup• port the resolution by statements of facts which it would not be in his power to bring before thein, and by argu ments which he had not the means to adduce. The calls of duty which laid upon him brought him little into immediate connexion with the labouring poor—with those whose interests it was the" more especial object of the association which it was now proposed to establish to advance. But if on that account it might have been more fitting that sueh a resolution•should have been en trusted to some other hands, he might be permitted to say that there was surely no man who was bound under deeper or more sacred responsibilities than himself, to have a deep and earnest sympathy with the condition of the poor—not only in this or that locality throughout the county, but in every individual parish and every cality, with each and all of which he was connected by a tie the most sacred and the Most important. And, perhaps, in one respect it might be -as well that he who had to move the resolution should *not be Connected with any particular parish or locality in'that county, more es pecially than with the neighbouring' county; inasmuch as•it could not by possibility be supposed that in advert ing to the condition of the labouring class in general, it was intended to imply that that condition differed from the state of the labouring dais in any part of the United Kingdom, placed under similar circumstances; or that he had any intention to allude to those discussions that had been raised, and which had excited an angry feeling in the community. He was sure that it. was not the in tention of this association to mix itself up with questions of that kind, and he believed such• to be far from the wish • of the committee who framed those resolutions. It was far from his own wish to assert that there was any difference in the condition of , the labouring classea in that county, nd in the condition of those in the other part of his diocese in Wilts, or in any part of the United Kingdom under similar circumstances. But by this resolution was implied, that the condition of the labouring classes was worthy to be a subject of more satisfactory contemplation than they allowed it to be; and he would put it to any man who understood the responsibilities under which they laid, whether it was not for their interest to better that condition by any means which experience could suggest or reason advise ? As with the social condition ~ f the individual man, so was it with the condition of the social community. In both conditions it was found imprudent to stand still, for the station and individuals were either advancing to improvement or tending to de :tradation and decay. It might be that in the body po litic different actions might at the same time be going on in different portions, and that one member of the body might dwindle and waste away whilst other parts were subjected to an unnatural and unhealthy growth. No one that looked around him would fail to see that there was going on in this country a progress, and growth, and increase entirely unexampled. Science was every day bringing to light new discoveries, which in their applica tion to the mechanical arts were giving occasion for the increase of capital and the growth of the na tional wealth. Knowledge was more widely distri buted. Agriculture, trade, commerce, each bad in an astonishing degree increased. But it might be a subject of inquiry, whilst there was this growth of wealth, this accumulation of capital, whether the great mass of the community had their due and proper share in the improvement of the general state. If it were the case that there was in this country at the pre sent time a tendency of wealth, whilst it had increased, to accumulate itself in fewer hands—if there were such a tendency, that whilst the rich grew richer the poor grew poorer—that whilst the few had a large share of the luxuries of life, the labourers and the men who sup plied those luxuries, had a smaller portion of even that which their necessities required—this was a state which, while it could not but make the philanthropist grieve, must give uneasiness to the statesman and the politician, and it gave them the more readiness to avail themselves of any occasion on which such a tendency might be cor rected, honest industry be improved, and the labouring l i man be encouraged with hope in the exercise of his honest calling.- And this be conceived to be the inten tion of the association which it was proposed to-day to found—not founded as if that or any association could take the place of the responsibilities of the individual man, or could do that which, after all, depended mainly upon the exertions of all those who were conscious of those responsibilities — in — hi;;;n private sphere to carry out himself. He conceived that this society could not perhaps do very much in its own corporate capacity, but he conceived that every individual who united himself particularhwiist hr r e a c h a t c h h at f so s pr o chteihereet improvementtpledgedodo t ha h t i m w s oh e fi l e f thh oGseo thereby, dben e p l acedaint h h h i i w s m i — o t within encourage raiseasfar th a e s i p r o i s n ry s d ib u l s e t he might be permitted to r their state s m t oe c o i t ta e hl theira s tate. t ate .y e d And,u cat ion, nd e a e n d d , c t h he pr w omied er s ealr t e h a e d l all members o f an association which things. They were already, by virtue of their incorpo ration into the church of Ch rist, under the law, that when one member suffers, all the members suffer with it ; and that when one member rejoices, all the mem bers rejoice with it—they were members of an associa tion, the rule of whose conduct was, "to be ar one another's burden, and so fulfil the law of Christ"— (Applause.) The association which they proposed to found was but a practical means of carr7ing out the higher law. He conceived that they were in the path of duty when endeavouring by all means in their power to lighten the burden of poverty, and to stimulate indus try, to encourage honest exertion, to cheer depression, o ne of the members f or th e county, seconded and by raising the p h y sical state of the l abouring classes, e said h e lur and did so the more to give a better opp ortunit y for the c ultivation of their spiritual . Fbeing.—(Much thisy Et, resolution, applaus e.) rea dily because he be lieved it re q ui red very few obser vations. It would be hi g hl y im p ro p er in him to make part i cu l a r mention of his interest in the any labouring classes, which if h e exhibited in that sphere in which Providence had pla ced him, mi g ht well be spared, and if he showed a neg lect of that interest in his private sphere, such observations would be idle and fruitless. How the labouring classes might be brought to a parti cipation of those luxuries and comforts enjoyed by all other classes, was a subject which had received much consideration ; but he thought if they wished to do real, permanent, and vital good, it must be through the means of the labouring classes and the mechanics themselves. It was known that the system generally adopted in the neighbourhood w as for the cardottage to have a garden at tached to it, and where that gen was accompanied by an allotment of potato ground in the field, ho believed this was one o f the best u means of meeting the wants of the labouring classes. thonght there were many to this conclusion, one o f w hi c h was rts-fisons for com in g that (before this visitation) a lug of potato ground gene rally produced two bushels ; 20 lug would therefore produce 40 bushels, or a larger amount of food than he thought could be furnished by any system for the improvementof t he labouring classes. He was not prepared to sa y that where this was carr i e d ou t the improvement, allotment syste m was an but there was abundant room for the op eratio ns of this socie t y account all the p laces where if they left o ut of It this system was followd. was well known that adjoining that town t he was a large parish in which there were dwellings without any gardens at all, and the incumbent of which had e ndeavoured in vain for a length obtain land. Ile believed there . were many of time to 6114 bra places to 4 03441, eXtent Ole flame , I thought that for the first few years they would have luite as much as they would be enabled to do. Mr. A. H. DYKE ACLAND proposed the next reso ution to this effect :—" That it is evident from the re port of theSetect Committee of the House of Commons )11 the utility of allotments of land to the poor, and from various other authentic documents, that land allotments ,r the field-garden system, under judicious regulations, teed to add to the resources, to increase the coLiforts, and improve the moral habits of the labouring classes." Ile speaker enforced by argument drawn from the re port alluded to the various principles enunciated in the resolution ; and he did believe, he said, that if there were an. , two principles contained in these two texts of scripture, " The earth is the Lord's and the fulness ,hereof," and " The poor shall eat and be satisfied " (Loud cheers.)—he held that he had sinned eqully against tlod and his fellow-creatures who wasted one single , arthing on luxuries or needless things, or wasted a Angle acre of that land whose produce was called for by starving brethren, and who had a right to ask that the land should be cultivated to the utmost possible extent. Now it was distinctly proved in that report that the la 'tourer could, with perfect faithfulness to his master, ,ultivate in his leisure hours his land to such an extent is to produce sufficient to support him, if he were quite without wages for thirteen weeks in tke year. People were in the habit of coming to him—and God -knew he r'elt for them when they did—and complaining that they were turned off in the winter. What was tue farmer's story? I sin obliged to provide my capital, and to have it ready to apply at the very moment when it is neces flary, and if I am bound to provide for all these men at Al seasons, how am I to bring my capital to bear at the moment when it is required? He was not going to dis- Jr this was not the proper tune for dis but here was an answer—that in a certain year when a labourer could nut be profitably the farmer, here was a system by which :ould be made beforehand for the hour of 'here was one fact which came under his own ig upon the question. There was con aected with the gaol of that county a fund called the " charity fund," from which certain sums were given to persOns'wbo had been in the gaol, and on their libera tion worked - continuously for the same_master for three, six, or twelve months. At the end of the period they received rewards and clothes in proportion to the length of their servitude, it being provided that it should be shown that during that period they attended Divine service. That fund had been established 20 years. During the first 10 years there :were only lb applicants, but during the last 10 years 103 had received gifts from the fund, and of those 103 three only had been re-com mitted to gaol. It might be asked, what had that to do with the subject before them ? He thought it had much to do with it. It showed that get such a man into limiest employment, and there was some security, under God's blessing, of his not reverting again to the path of crime, but ground for reasonable hope of his becoming an honest, trustworthy member of society. The Hon. and Rev. W. SCOTT, Rector of Maiden Newton, seconded the resolution, and regretted that the person through whom he had had access to documents bearing upon the case was not present. He regretted it, because he was quite sure that the community had mistaken his views, and that the objections which they had taken to his views were most unworthy. He was sure that such restraints kept them closer to their duties than if their faults were passed over in silence. [Mr. Scott was supposed to allude to Mr. Osborne.] He thought they must admit that they were not on an equal footing with many parts of the country, for in the sister country there were no labourers receiving under 155., and during harvest they often received 205., and in Northumberland he was invariably hired by the year ; that he had his cottage rent free; that he had his thousand yards of potato ground provided by the farmer, and in addition to that he had the whole of his pay in goods, which in times of scarcity Was a most valuable accom modation. The Northumberland "hind," as he was called, had invariably a cow kept for him, his four and a half quarters of oats, his three quarters of barley, his quarter and a half of peas, and his three bushels of wheat. In the parish of Nocton, in Lincolnshire, the wages were the same ,as those he had mentioned. That was not the case there; but let him tell them what would be the case, if they did not follow the example. The labourers were already leaving this country for the wilds of Australia and the great plains of America, and when they learned these things, as they must soon from the ready communication that took place between one part and another, he thought they would not remain there when they learned that they could obtain a better remu• aeration elsewhere.—(Cheers.) He was not desirous of laying the whole blame of this upon the farmer, for if he raised a body of labourers only one shilling a week, his outlay might be increased 50L'a year, and that was more than they expected others to give in charity, for charity it was, though it was a charity that would re dound to their own welfare. He knew it aas said with a certain degree of fairness that the landlord must bear his part in that increase of wages ; but he told them it must begin with the farmers, the land'urd had it not in his power to raise the rate of wages ; but he did not mean to say whether the land of that country was not held at too high a rent—if so, let the tenant not oiler too high.—(Laughter.) A heavy and deep respcnsi bility certainly rested upon the landowner with regard to the condition of the dwellings, but that would be the subject of another resolution. When he entered on the living of Maiden Newton ho was ironically congratu ated on his having got the worst parish in the county to deal with, and he himself was no less than six times in that very court as a prosecutor. In the last three years, during which allotments had been in operation in his parish, he did not think he had been seen there.— (Applause.) In the first year of the allotments two con victions took place, and there were consequently two forfeitures ; but from that time not one out of 80 hol ders had committed any offence to call them up before a magistrate. There was one result which, as a clergy man, he took especial pleasure in contemplating, viz., that when cultivating the soil the labourer might be in duced to think of the cultivation of his soul ; and that when he found that by due attendance to his garden he was reaping a reward, he might be led to consider that by attending to the cultivation of his soul he might reap the rewards thereof in the heavenly kingdom. The Rev. H. URQUHART proposed the next resolution, which expressed the desirableness of obtaining the co operation of owners and occupiers of landed property, to promote an improvement in ventilation, draining, and internal accommodation. Mr. Joust CHAMEN, farmer, of Charminster, seconded the proposition. The Rev. SANDERSON ROBINS, without preliminary observation, moved the formation of the society, which Mr. J. F. HODGES seconded. The Rev. C. W. 13mortenr, in proposing that the Earl of Orford, the Lord Bishop of the diocese, and Lord Rivers, be patrons of the society, and that a committee be formed, said, in what was his parish (Syding) he en deavoured to establish the system, but for the first six years he tried in vain. He found that the landowner would not assist him; that the farmers were always against him; and it was only about two years ago that he was enabled to purchase land and carry out his inten tions. With respect to what had been said about the state of the dwellings of the poor, he would only re mark that he had been carried to Fordington, where he saw what he was sure would surprise those who knew Dorchester best. He saw there places where the people were crowded together in a manner that he had thought was confined to the manufacturing districts. Mr. JOHN HayszE seconded the resolution; and after a vote of thanks had been given to the Lord Bishop and the High Sheriff, and acknowledged, the meeting separated. ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFIRMARY. -- The fifty first anniversary dinner of this charity was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-bill, on Thursday evening. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, being sup ported by Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. R. W. Ken. nard, Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and other active friends of the institution. The entertainment itself was highly creditable to the Messrs. Lovegrove. After the cloth had been drawn, and the usual loyal and national toasts had received due honour, the Lord Mayor proposed the leading toast of the evening, via., " Pros perity to the Royal Sea-bathing Infirmary;" and, in order to show the increased prosperity and usefulness of the institution, stated that the number of patients admitted, which was, in the first year (1796), only 16, had increased in each succeeding year, until, during the past season, 716 persons had been received either as in-door or as out-door patients; a statement which elicited loud applause. It was further remarked, that although the bulk of the subscriptions had hitherto come from the metropolis, there was the greatest desire, on the part of the managing body, to derive support from the provinces, as well as to extend the benefits of the institution to persons living in distant parts of the country. Amongst the toasts was that of "Mr. B. B. Cabbell and the Vice-Presidents of the Institution." In acknowledging the compliment, Mr. Cabbell observed, that one great impediment to the beneficial operation of the institution was the charge now thrown upon the patients of defraying the expenses of their board. Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the treasurer, expressed his desire to see this burden removed from the recipients of the benefits of the charity, remarking, at the same time, that, in order to effect this object, it would be necessary that about 30,0001. should be invested in the Three per Cents. The toasts of the evening in cluded " The Chairman," " Mr. Coulson and the Medical Board," " Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the treasurer," " The Sheriffs," &c. Mr. J. Paul, the secretary, announced several subscriptions, the aggregate amount of which was 595/. 16s. THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE AND THE ABORIGINES.—On Wednesday Sir Henry Pottinger received a deputation of the Aborigines Protection Society. The address presented on the occa sion of his accepting the office of Governor of the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, contained an appeal in favour of the native tribes, who, in times past, have had much to endure. It advocated the systematic improvement of these people as more effectual than severity for securing peace and prosperity to the colony. His Excellency, in a courteous manner, assured the deputation that he en tered on his office perfectly unbiassed towards any party. He pledged himself to no plans_ until he had seen and judged for himself, but said that the welfare of the natives, consistently with their restraint from mischief, would bo an object of his care. C ;,1 PRICE 'SD. MONEY MARKET and CITY 'NEWS , . FROM THE SIORNIXO PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES. --The market for Consols was considerably influenced to-day by large - duced quotations Abe- rumours bare been change in the apps dealers seem to app templated - 81)iinqh profess. Jo belies so , the French 'Cabinet though no positive would give a clue,to that the speculators presses from the oth,_ been the chief sellers would lead to the inference that it is either Spanish or French events which have coptributed to pro duce-this decline. Consols opened at 94i- for Money and the Account; they were done as low as 948 for Money, and 914 for the Account ;. and left off respecti ve l y at 94+ for MOney, and 941 ..to for the Account. Spanish also experienced a great change in yalue, sales of this stock beii b , freely effected. The Market for Portuguese dropped from the general heavi ness, and Foreign Securities, were altogether dull. A meeting of the shareholders . of. the Australian Alining Company was held to-day, at which the direc tors presented a very' flattering report. The recent discoveries of minerals in the neighbourhood of Ade laide had prepared the parties interested for some very favourable details concerning the pOsition of their pro perty. It seems that the directors are .daily expecting official intelligence of the grant of 20,000 acres of land, situated near Reedy. Creek, where large quantities of copper ore have been found, which intelligence was only delayed till the claim of " royalty" was settled. The samples of ore received yield an average of 30i per cent. Aefti_ d • POST.--There Tbere ay a fall of unusual magni tude in the public ..,;ities. The Government brokers purchased 5,000 Thy.;,' id-a-Quarter per Cent. s t oc k, ate for or vidokt - thiks, .5,0000 tberowa. stock, at the same rate, for account of the - blielanned dividends, and 1,200 Old South Sea Annuities, at 934, for account of the Commissioners for the reduc tion of the National Debt. At the close of business Bank Stock was quoted 2041 to 2051; Three per Cent. Reduced 93 i i to f; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock 954 to i; Consols 944 for Money, and 944 toe for Ac count; Exchequer-bills 9s. to 12s. premium. The supply of money was abundant for all ordinary purposes, and, that the markets should have given way to the extent witnessed, was a matter of some surprise, particularly as there was really little appearance of business. Consols were at one moment as low as 94* for Money, establishing a decline of fully a to 4 per cent., and, sympathising with these, almost everything else was quoted nominally lower, such as foreign stocks of various kinds, and, in a very minor degree, rail ways and other shares. Different rumours were in circulation to account for the fall, but the ap prehensions of the public having been once par tially awakened by statements announcing impor tant movements in our arsenals and dockyards, there can be little doubt that an advantage was taken by un scrupulous speculators, of the opportunity afforded them of working as strongly as possible upon sensitive minds, by the employment of all kinds of inventions and ex aggerations' for the promotion of their own selfish ob jects. The state of Portugal was the leading topic of the day. In the facts which have been made matter of newspaper comment, connected with the recent revolu tion, good reason is thought to have been found for the belief that there must now be a total severance of the amicable relations which have for so many years sub sisted between France and England. All the mischief is ascribed to the intriguing propensities of his Majesty the King of the French, and hence it is that a 'cases belli is considered to have arisen, which may adequately ex plain the motive for the increase spoken of in our naval and military forces. The marching of a Spanish army into Portugal, and the preparation for foreign service—the departure, in fact, of an English fleet, the throwing up of additional defences at Gibraltar, and the like, were among the subjects of the many agreeable rumours to - which it was the fate of timid stock-holders to have to listen from about eleven o'clock until nearly the close of the markets. Eventually, however, a stand was made by influential parties, and the reports of the day being essentially vague, there was at length a rally, the home securities recovering themselves to the extent of about 4 per cent. The intelligence upon which the earlier operations were based seems to have been derived almost exclusively from newspaper sources. As such is the case, our readers may be able to judge for themselves of the merits of the reports in question which have a political bearing. The condition of Ireland is still a cause of solicitude, and the foreign exchanges having turned against this country, there may be some exporta tion of the precious metals. We are of opinion, never theless, that the fears entertained on these, as well as on the other heads alluded to, have been needlessly great.

EFFECTS or HIGH FARES.- - The branch of the South-Eastern Railway from Margate to Ramsgate was not opened, as expected, last week. " Under other cir cumstances," says the Kentish Observer, " this would have caused much disappointment and inquiry as to the cause; but so unpopular has this railway company be come, that few cared to ask if it were open or not, or as to the cause of its not being opened. There is no ques tion that the three towns of Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs would have done much better at the latter part of the season had the fares not been raised ; and also that the South-Eastern Company, from their false step, have been sufferers in a pecuniary point of view. Few will travel from the Isle of Thanet by rail this win ter, unless the prices be lowered, the second•class car riages made more comfortable, and the third-class covered in. The voyage to London by steam-vessel is cheaper, performed in about the same time as running round by Ashford, and is preferable, in many respects, to riding in the present second and third-class carriages. Passengers meet with civility and liberality from the captains and crews of the steam-boats." The same can not be said of the railway.

Gux COTTON.—We have to record the occurrence of an accident to the son of the eminent gun-maker of Bond-street, which might have been attended with seri ous consequences. Mr. Lancaster was engaged with Mr. Taylor in making some experiments on the projec tile power of gun-cotton, and several charges of 50 grains each, with 11 ounce of shot, had been fired from a strong 14-guage gun with perfect safety, when on increasing the charge to 83 grains and 1 ounce of shot, the gun burst with great violence. The sleeve of Mr. Lancaster's coat was torn through, and he received several slight wounds on the fleshy part of his arm, none of which, we are happy to add, are of a serious character. In some previous experiments which Mr. Lancaster had made with the cotton of Dr. Schonbein, in the presence of that gentleman and Professor Faraday, the same quantity of cotton had been fired with perfect safety. We, there fore, caution these who may be trying experiments with this powerfully explosive compound to be exceedingly cautious. as an accident has occurred even in such ex perienced hands. The gun used by Mr. Lancaster had been previously proved with an ounce of powder and a ball fitting the bore. - -a-. 14 _ LL ,ve
