THE ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL, AItgIIDEL, DEC. 2.-The - Weather here still continues fine, though not quite so promising its it was yesterday. Her Majesty and the Prince were able to 'take their usual early. walk. They,were accompanied about the g rounds of the Castle, by the. Duke of Norfolk. After .breakfast the Prince .went out shooting, accompanied by the Earl of Arundel, Lord John Russell, Lord Brooke, awl Colonel Bouverie. The party proceeded as far as Burycombe, a preserve near. one of the park gates, and about four miles from Arundel. The Prince shot . about 73 head of game, 68 of which were phea sants: • •Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Wellington, and. some of the chief guests, Went out' into the neiglibourhciod of the Castle after luncheon, They visited the keep, 'Where they remained 'a considerable time, 'and' they afterwards proceeded to the dairy, an elegant picturesque building close to the Castle. On the arrival of her Majesty and the Prince yester day-afternOOn at the grand entrance-hall of the Castle, they were received by,the Duke and • Duchess of Nor folk, Lord and Lady Arundel, the Duchess of Suther land, and the 'Ladies Mary and.. Adeliza Fitzalan Howard.. Lord' John 'Russell was also present. The Earl of Ellesmere hnd Lord. Edward Fitzalan Howard ,had previously gone out with the Duke of Wellington towards Balls' Hut to meet the royal party. Her Majesty was then: Conducted by the Duke of Norfolk, the Prince offering his arm to the Duchess, to the library, where the rest of the guests were assem bled. There.were the Duchess of Bedford, the Countess of Ellesmere, Lady John Russell, Viscount Morpeth, Lord Brooke, Lady Caroline Levesoji Gower; and Mr. B. Lyons. Pfer Majesty, -after addressing a few words to the company present, retired to her apartments with the Prince. .Viscount and: Viscountess Palmerston were not present in the library i 'but they airived shortly after, an&were'praelit at the dinner, as 4. also the Marquis of .Granby.. • „ Before•dinner- her Mkicsty and 5; Prince were con ducted by the - Duke 17 - Norfolk t state drawing room. They were attended by the Duchess of Norfolk, the Duchess of Sutherland (Mistress of the Robes), Lord Edward F.. Howard (Vice-Chamberlain),*the - Marchioness of Douro (Lady in Waiting), and the Hon. Miss Napier (Maid of Honour). Here the Mayor of Arundel, Mr. Edward Howard Gibbon, had the honour of presenting the addresses of the corporation to her Majesty and the Prince. The address to the Queen was as follows: To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " THE LOYAL AND DUTIFUL ADDRESS OF THE MAYOR. ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF ARUNDEL, IN THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX. " Most Gracious Sovereign,—We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, Bur gesses, and inhabitants of the ancient borough of Arun del, endowed by your Majesty's royal predecessor Queen Adeliza; and confirmed and chartered by Queen Eliza betb, most gratefully avail ourselves of your Majesty's auspicious presence amongst us to offer the expression of devoted loyalty which we at all times feel towards your Majesty's person and throne. "We offer up our fervent aspirations that every blessing which life affords may conduce to the happiness of your Majesty and your beloved Consort, that your Majesty's reign may be long, prosperous, and peaceful ; filled, as we are, in common with all your Majesty's subjects, with a deep and grateful sense of the benefits and blessings enjoyed under theinfluence of those bene ficent virtues which adorn your Majesty and your Royal Consort, and endear your Majesty to the hearts of your Majesty's faithful people. The following is the address to Prince Albert : "To HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE. ALBERT. • "THE LOYAL ADDRESS OF THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, BUR GESSES, AND INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH OF ARUNDEL, IN THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX. " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Mayor, Aldermen, Burgesses, and inhabitants of Arun del, joyfully submit to your Royal Highness our profound respect and devotion, and hail with the most heartfelt pleasure your Royal Highness's appearance in our loyal and ancient borough. United by the most sacred ties to our beloved Queen, and intimately interwoven with the future prosperity and happiness of the nation, we cannot but earnestly may for your Royal Highness's life and welfare, and we trust that your Royal Highness may continue to receive every blessing which Heaven can bestow." The dinner party consisted of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Duke of Wellington,. the Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl and Countess of Arundel, the Marquis of Granby, the Marchioness of Douro, Lady Mary F. Howard, the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, Lord Edward F. Howard, Lord and Lady J. Russell, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston ' Viscount Mor peth, Lord Brooke, the Hon. Miss Napier, Colonel Bouverie, Colonel Phipps, Sir Harry Goring, the Mayor of Arundel, Mr. J. A. Smith, MY., and Mr. M. T. Smith. After dinner, the Duke of Norfolk gave the "Health of the Queen!? and afterwards that of " His Royal High ! nesaarince Albert," in the usual form, and the guests soon after retired to the drawing-room. Her. Majesty and the Prince withdrew early to rest, and, shortly after, the company retired. The proceedings out of doors were of a much more gay and lively order. A very brilliant effect was pro duced by the illumination of the keep, from the summit of which the royal standard of England floated in the bright clear atmosphere of a fine moonlit night. The triumphal arch at the great entrance to the castle was also illuminated. It bore two i nscr iptions—" Victoria : Albert : 1846." " Adeli za : M at ild a : 1139." In the meadows close under the castle there was a display of fireworks; but, brilliant as they • were, the moonlight was so strong as almost to eclipse their effect, aided as it was by the reflection cast by three monster beacons of fire erected on diffeeent eminepces around ; one at Burpham-hill, another at Calceto (a farm of Lord Arun del's, and the site of an ancient religious foundation), and a third at Brookfield, the residence of Mr. Holmes. The town of Arundel itself was one blaze of light from beginning to end—not a very long distance. Every house, even in th e b y - stree ts, had some sort of illumination ; the p oor peop l e placed candles in their windows ; those b e tt er o ff u t splendid gas or oil devices, transparencie s , & c ., i n the fronts of their houses. There were al s o i nnu merable flags, so me of enormous size, and many o f them very splen did. The streets were crowded with a g ay and well - beha ved population, whose orderly mo ti o n was, however, p per petually disturbed by the quantities of squibs and crackets, of rockets, and other fireworks, that were let off is the public thoroughfares with indiscriminate liberality and mischievous fun. These amusements, varied by the occasional ascent of a fire balloon, con tinued till a very late hour, but no disturbance or acci dent occurred. The dinner party this evening will comprise those who have been already named as being the guests in the house during her Majesty's stay, with the addition of the Bishop of Chichester and Mrs. Wyndham, of Petwortb. In the evening the Ethiopian Serenaders are to perform, and there will be a reception by her Majesty of a very large number of the neighbouring gentry. By a misprint in the account of the interior of Arun del Castle, sent from here yesterday, it is stated, in reference to Mr. Fowler's portrait of her Majesty,. that " numberless counterparts have been executed for' the artist, which hang in the mansions of many of the no• bility." It should have been " by" the artist. This correction is only an act of justice to Mr. Fowler; and it is not customary with the owners of such pictures to allow copies to be made, except by the original artist, if he is alive. CAPTAIN WARNER'S LONG RANGE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 2.—The experiments with Mr. Warner's apparatus for destroying ships or other objects, at a " long range," have been tried, and, as was ex pected, terminated in their total failure. _ _ The officers selected by Government were Captain Chads, RN., C. 8., Colonel Chalmers, R.E., and Colonel Dundas, R.A. The Master-General of the Ordnance (the Marquis of Anglesey) gave them a s p o t to try the " long range," on his estate, in the island of Anglesey. It was a , valley, eight miles in length, and at the extreme end there was a solitary tree •, of course this could not be seen from the ground where Mr. Warner was placed, _but the . exact bearing s were f urn i s h e d. Mr. Warner was requested to fire in that direction, and endt;avour to strike the tree, or propel a shell near it ; two of the officers stationed them Selves at proper distances to observe the result; after some time had elapsed, iu Mr. Warner getting all ready, which he kept a profound secret, not being interfered with by any of the committee, the explosion took place, but the shell fell very far short of the object ; several other trials afterwards were made, but on no occasion did the shell ever reach three miles. 'After some time Mr. Warner admitted that he had failed in his ex - periments, and the investigation finished. The foregoing is a brief statement of the result of this much agitated question. A sum of 1,5001. had been ad vanced by Government to Mr. Warner, to enable him to purchase the requisite materials and defray his expenses, which he was to refUnd if the experiment failed. No N that the Goverment have by this trial satisfied the public that Mr. Warner's" long ra nge is an imaginary and impracticable scheme, and that the question is set tled, the repayment of the 1,5001. will not be pressed. The official report has been made to the Master general of the Ordnance. One of the officers was so satisfied that the " long range" would prove a failure, that he stood under the tree during the explosion.. —DewMY INTRIXIGENCS. D EC. I D is reported in military circles that Prince George of Cam bridge, who has been appointed to the command of the Dublin district in succession to Major-General Wynd ham, will eventually succeed Sir Edward Blak<eney in the high office of Lieuteiint-General Commanding in Ireland. No specific time, however, is mentioned for the retirement of the gallant veteran, who has for so' many years discharged his important duties to the satisfaction of the country. The 68th Light Infantry, which has been but a few months on the Irish establishment, has received the route from Dublin to the south. Three companies have already left for Kildare and Ruthangan. It is believed that this corps will be replaced here /ay the 13th (Prince Albert's Light Infantry), from W eedon. Several other moves of regiments in this gardrion are cotitemplated.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Bans, a getitlemanvesiding at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the he then year 18 re -42, on returning from t tarlestone Market to Wo bred, where sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duratio n, during which period his hair c perfectlon tinued to come off, till he became , to use his own terms, " Jas Daniely bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev.E. , then clergyman of the parish, off ered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair: Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWL kND'S MAC ASSA.n. OIL, and it is highly grbottlatifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a e was us,d the growth recommenced, and he has now to ho at of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though . prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. RONLAND'S MACAS4AR OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees I from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. cuu Proposed alteration in the re g ulations of the p ort o f Cal. Bengal Chamber of Com 7, merce, Calcutta, October 1846. Iterations Sir,—The Superin tendent of . Marine having recommended l tions of this i, e reu a to Government certain.aed him, in n th th place, first place, to consult port, Government dew proposes roved of the alteration, 'witlr' The Chamber having app rm the lam desired to communicate same to the Chamber of Commerce in regard to the changes he some modification, tion of Lloyd's. First, It is proposed, you for the l v a defined at foot, that the prohibition to the Bay of Benga , . rading within the limits of 8 river without a pilot be withdrawn, their navigating this of light and buoy dues be levied and that a double charge with respectintfeormaessele t on those vessels tha t do n ot take pilots. Second, It is arriving at a certain point at proposed . N., . that other vesse ls, on d eg. lat 5 min. lon 88 deg. the outer floating light, •21 March 15, and at the South 15 min.

Third—lt is proposed that in regard to vessels such as the last mentioned leaving Calcutta, if no pilot join a ves sel be fore eight AM., the day after she has produced her port clearance at the Master Attendant's office, the vessel be at liberty to proceed, keeping the pilot's jack flying as long as she is within pilot's water without a pilot, and receiving one as soon as he offers to come on board. The Chamber recommended that twenty-four hours, in stead of" eight A.M." after production of the port clearance at the master-attendant's office, be the time when the ship shall be privileged to proceed. The Chamber suggested that, should the measure be authorised by Government, six months from the date of promulgation should be allowed to elapse before carrying it into 'effect, to afford time to the merchants and underwriters in England and elsewhere, to make any modification in the terms of insurance, which the alterations might appear to reptire.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) W.

THE RECTOR AND HIS STICK.—The Rev. William Albemarle Cater, Rector of Carshalton, has been fined 4/. for cruelly beating a boy of fourteen, whose crime was this—he played at " hockey" before the good man's door! " The boy's clothes," say the papers, " were taken off in court, and his back exhibited several large cruises, evident .y caused by violent beating." In the niden day the wand of the priest burst into sweet smelling blossoms, but the stick of Parson Cator bears, as gardeners would . say, a very different sort of " blow." —Punch, reeuggsq the 1 11 , a6a.„utrit ovn M a o ist tne o. ll _ l l orii i t e4 • r a 5 , 11e' • ideP9W 010ig 1 • , Work If r .. . 4 u 4 4 DI, j i . e 7e gden slf: . '1:19,10r64 TO THE LADIES, This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846 . Reader , remember, this letter w as put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. M rs . weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luluriant than t ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the.restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the aboie facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it tuning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drons on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs' and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. . In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the erown. of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In, most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it.has Such b peculiar cooling influence on t he brain as to pre vent convulsions, .as well as promoting t he growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

It is stated, upon very good authority, in the military circles in this garrison, that his Grace the Duke of Wel lington's serious attention has been brought to the demo ralising and baneful system of allowing from four to six gentlemen cadets of this establishment to occupy one room, and that the mode proposed to be adopted is that at our universities, that of assigning each young gentle man cadet a room to himself, and for that purpose a most material alteration must take place to enlarge the academy. Another most stringent regulation, it is said, will be adopted—that of not permitting, the cadets the privilege of promenading the garrison after dark, but to limit them to their barracks, except in cases where it is known that they are going to,visit their parents or rela tives residing within the garrison. - COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR OHORLEY. • FURTHER PARTICULARS. Another inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon at the house of Mr. Thomas Glover, the Wheatsheaf Inn, Coppull (three miles from Chorley, and seven from Wigan), on the body of Thomas Grime, the man who was employed in the coal-mine of Mr. J. Hargreaves, jun., as " fireman," when the melancholy explosion took place on the 24th ult., when eight unfortunate individuals lost their lives. Mr. R. Palmer, the Coroner, commenced the inquiry at half-past two o'clock, and Mr. J. Gaskell attended on behalf Mr. Hargreaves,- to afford every facility to the investigation. The only witness called was Joseph Ellis, the manager of the colliery, who stated that immediately after the explosion on the 24th of November at the Coppull Pit, he went into the mine with the Davy lamp, and found Morris about 300 yards from the shaft, lying upon his face, and nearly dead. He was a little burnt, but it was suffocation that affected him. He saw him afterwards at his own house, and asked him if he could tell how the accident happened? He replied, " I went down at half past four o'clock with my Davy lamp, and had put a lighted, candle is all the places except the last three— Halliwell's and the two Turners'. I was going into Tom Halliwell's place when I saw a light inside, and imme diately afterwards . an explosion took place." Witness then said, " Some of the men state that you had your lamp-top off; is that true?" He said, " No, it is not; but you will find that out in a day or two, for some of you will find my lamp." On Saturday morning he (witness) found the lamp, and the top was on, and it was all perfectly correct. The CORONER said he was glad the lamp had been found, as it corroborated the statement made by the deceased, and would satisfy the public mind as to the real cause of the accident. ' Ellis continued—There was another person with him when he found the lamp. He found it going into Thomas Halliwell's place, and just where Grime said he was at the time of the explosion. Candles had been stuck up in all the places except the last three. The light had been blown out by the explosion, but the candles being stuck up with clay were still remaining. There were no candles stuck up in Halliwell's or Turners' places. The deceased died at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. He died from the effects of the " after-damp, which suffocated him. The CORONER said, it appeared to him that the cause of the accident was now satisfactorily explained, and that no blame whatever rested with those who had the management of the works. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Acci dental death." The CORONER said he observed that the attention of the London newspapers had been directed to this melan choly accident, on account of women being in the mine, which was contrary to law. Now, he wished to know whether something could not be done to prevent them going down in disguise in this manner. Ellis—There might be somebody to examine them. A Juryman—But who will examine them? They will have them, do what you will, and if any one was sent to examine, they would stick a pick into him di rectly. The women are fonder of working in the pits than anywhere else, and you cannot keep them out, be cause there they get good wages. They " naturably" like it, though I don't think they should be employed there. When disguised, they are very bad to detect. A young woman used to pass our door from a pit at Blackrod, and I said one day to my wife, " That's a clever young fellow;" but my daughter said, " Nay, she's a wench."—(Laughter.) After some further conversation among the jury, it turned out that this " clever young fellow," who deceived the juryman, was the unfortunate young woman Jane Moss, aged 21 years, who was killed by the explosion on the 24th of November. CURIOUS ROBBERIES OF MlLK.—Three boys, about twelve, thirteen, and fourteen years of age, were charged, at the Clerkenwell Police Court, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that on Taesday morning, at on early hour. the prisoners were seen lurking about Islington, watching the milk carriers, who left small cans containing milk in the areas of customers for servants to take in. The prisoners, in several instances, climbed over the area railings and emptied the cans of milk; and thus would they have deprived all the gentry of Islington of milk for breakfast, had it not been for a policeman of the N division, who had been for some time watching their manoeuvres, taking them into custody. The prisoners were committed. ENROLMENT OF PENSIONERS FOR NEW ZEALAND. -It is intended to enrol six companies of pensioners each consisting of four sergeants, four corporals, two drummers and fifers, and seventy-six privates, for service in New Zealand. PRIZE CATTLE.-The City of London Aberdeen steam .ship came up the river yesterday with 250 head of cattle on board, amongst them are nine fat oxen of enormous dimensions, intended for the Smithfield Club cattle show. SALE OF THE BOOKS, SERVICE OF PLATE, WINES, &C., OF THE LATE SIR C. WETHERELL, KNT.-Tuesday the property of the late Sir Charles Wetherell, Knt., consisting of the books, the service of plate, the wines, &c., was entirely disposed of at the Rolls Auction Rooms, Chancery-lane, the sale having occupied four days. Some of the plate had belonged to the services of George IV., the Duke of York, Sir John Leach, &c. The wines, &c., were brought from the cellars at the mansion in Berkeley-square, and the chambers, Stone buildings, Lincoln's Inn. The plate went at prices varying from ss. 6d. to 12s. 2d. per oz., and of these there were 185 lots.

SUDDEN DEATH AT A RAILWAY STATioxOn Tuesday morning , a gentleman, named Francis, a s c itor, of Monument-yard, London, left Hastings, with his daught-r, to go to • London, but on their arrival at the Brighton terminus, Mr. Francis, who, we understand was between sixty and seventy years of age, was taken suddenly ill, and before medical assistance could be pro cured lie was a corpse. - • • PRICE SD. AGRICULTURAL UinLimTpoUrtßanAceLto REPORTFboOdyRat NOVEMBER. - (From the Farmer's Ma gaz i ne. ) the a gricultural this particular period 'of the year is the state of the weather for out-door farm operations. That experienced during nearly or quite the whole of the month just brought to a conclusion has proved unusually propitious to the sowing of the winter wheats '; hence, 'as a matter of course, that work has progressed with considerable rapidity, and under the most favourable auspices. In many parts of England the plants have already appeared above ground, and it is highly gratifying for us to be enabled to observe that we never recollect to have seen them finer or in a more healthy state. These observa tions refer, be it understood, not to any particular locality, but to most our large corn districts, over which we have travelled for the purpose of forming oar con clusions respecting the many features of interest to our farmers. The:value of the opinion frequently expressed, that a change in our import laws must have the effect of throwing out of cultivation a large portion of our wheat lands, from the inability of the home growers to compete with the foreigner, is now about to be tested. We our selves have looked upon the late alteration in the corn laws as indicative of low prices here in years of great abundance ; but, at the same time, we have endeavoured to enforce our honest conviction that it would be utterly impossible for farming to be carried on in this country, unless wheat—by far the most valuable crop we can pro duce—continue to form the principal article of growth with us.- This point of our argument cannot be more fairly illustrated than by experience ; and,- from what we have recently witnessed, and from the remarks of our numerous correspondents, we maintain that the year 1847 will show a - much larger breadth of land under wheat than has been the case during the last tea years. We would observe this is no idle assumption, though it is a -most Conclusive proof of the energy of our agriculturists to keep pace with the rapidly increasing wants of the 'population. Many parties may feel dis posed to argue that the increased cultivation we have here alluded to, is purely the result of the prevailing comparatively high ' prices. To an extent, such is un questionably the case ; but feeling strongly impressed with our extensive and increasing wants as a nation, and the great necessity for supplying these wants, in order that at future periods we may be independent as far as possible of all contingencies, the result of depen dence upon the foreign cultivators, and, further, the im portance of keeping the labouring population fully em ployed and well fed, all which matters are closely con nected with native industry, we very much doubt whether —unless indeed our general policy, commercial as well as political, receive an unexpected and, by some, long dreaded convulsion—the prices of wheat will ever bt. lowered to that point at which it will be impossible to cultivate it. It would perhaps be unfair for us to Craw inferences from the past season, what has been one of extreme interest, and in which we have had to report the failure not only of the potato crop, but likewise a consi derable falling off in the produce of all kinds of spring corn ; all which circumstances have increased the con sumption of wheat far beyond that of the ordinary run of years. Still, in our judgment, it would be opposed to a practical view of matters to argue that the cultiva tion of wheat will be materially affected by the import ation of a few hundred thousand quarters of foreign grain annually. The next point to which we shall direct attention is the state of the stocks of wheat, both old and new, in the hands of the home growers. The stocks of last year's growth are very limited, and a few weeks will make a total clearance of them ; but, notwithstanding the un usually large deliveries at the various markets, which have been made in excellent condition, those of the pre sent season are good and of prime quality. Here, then, is a matter which cannot fail to have some influence upon future prices, and maintain a sensible effect upon consumption. This subject being one of the most vital interest to our readers, a few observations upon the statements which have found their way into many con temporary prints may he 'useful. On the subject of the relative value of wheat we have already expressed ourselves to the effect that though the imports of grain from America and elsewhere' may be large during the coming year, the demand will not be more than ade quately supplied ; hence present rates may be consi dered tolerably safe. We have read with much attention the numerous highly-coloured statements respecting the capabilities of the United States to supply us with " bread stuffs;" yet we see nothing whatever in 'them to create any uneasiness—circumstanced as we are at the present moment—or that a great fall in our quotations will be produced thereby, for the simple reason that from no other quarter of the globe can we expect to derive large supplies of corn for a considerable period. High prices —at least much higher than those now ruling. in our markets—we do not anticipate, because we feel justified in the assertion that the evils resulting from the partial failure in the potato crop—partial we only consider it— and the comparative falling off in the supplies of barley, oats, beans, and peas, have been greatly alleviated by the large quantities of grain and flour which have passed the customs for home consumption, since the commence ment of the present year. Again, it is placed beyond a doubt that the wheat produced this season is of a very superior description, consequently is yielding a much greater amount of really good flour than ordinary. These circumstances, therefore, induce us to conceive that we can entertain no idea of a famine, of famine prices, or of a great depression in our market. In the early part of the month—at which time the mil lers and others were well in stock, and the supplies of most grain on offer considerably on the increase—compara tively little business was transacted in wheat or other articles, and the quotations suffered a pretty general de cline ; but towards the close the demand became steady, though the actual abatement previously submitted to was not recovered. Less activity has been observed in the demand for both fat and lean stock, and, in some in stances, the currencies have bad a downward tendency. This latter circumstance must, in a great measure, be attributed to the immense importations of foreign stock, which have taken place under the new tariff, in London and at the various outports, which have greatly exceeded those of any month during the present yeiir. The fact that the potatoes have been on the increase in the metropolis and elsewhere, and that the condition of that esculent has much improved, is strongly corrobo rative of the views we have all along expressed, espe cially as prices have fallen from 10s. to 15s. per ton, viz., that the actual losses by the disease have been over ' estimated, as far as England and Scotland are con- , cerned. It is very satisfactory to observe that the turnip and carrot crops are exceedingly good and of excellent qua= lity. In all quarters the markets are liberally suppliid with them, at very moderate prices. Depastured stock has fared remarkably well, ant] supply of food continues abundant. In some parts the disease has made its appearance amongst the beasts, yet actual losses have not been extensive. In Ireland and Sotland the various markets have been moderately well, but not heavily supplied with corn and cattle. _ A full average amount of business has been transacted in most articles, at full prices. THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 2. The Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, Captain Soy, arrived in the docks this day, 10•30, from Alexandria, with the Indian mails ; she left Alexandria Nov. 15, Malta 20, Gibraltar 25, and Cowes Ist inst. Her cargo, not a large one, consists' of India packages, silks, gum, ivory, &c. The Oriental has brought home 46 passen gers, among whom'are Colonel Van de Cour, Colonel Biddulph, C. 8., and Mr. R. Eaton, M.P. Her Majesty's ship Tyne was to leave Malta for England on the Mb ult. Vessels been on the voyage :—Royal Tar, Oct. 27th, and Queen steamer. The weather experienced by the Oriental was bad throughout. The Thames, Cap tain Hast, left the port at three o'clock, P.M., this day with the West India and Gulf mails, 100 passengers, a good general cargo, and 700 bottles of quicksilver. A CHILD LEFT IN A HAMPER AT MISS BURDETT CouTTs's.—On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Bedford, at the Barley Mow, Mount-street, Grosvenor square, on the body of a male child, found under the following circumstances :--Mary Hanley, the wife of Miss Burdett Coutts's coachman, said that on Saturday night she was going in by the coach-house gates, in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, when she saw a hamper placed on the outside. A pol iceman coining by at the moment, she called his attention to it, and he opened it. It was found to contain the body of a fine male child, wrapped up in a linen napkin, and a sheet of paper was placed on the top. • It was taken to the workhouse, but there were no marks to lead to the discovery of the parties. Mr. Bloxham, surgeon, had op ene d th e b o d y, and had no doubt the child was born alive. On examin ing the head, he found effusion of the brain, which had been produced in the labour, and was the cause of death. Verdict—" Died from natural causes." HARWICH, DEC. I.—The Lords of the Admiralty arrived here on Saturday on a visit of inspection of the extensive works now in progress. Their Lordships were accompanied by Commodore Sir Walker 0. Pell, and were attended by Mr. James Walker, the engineer to the Board of Admiralty, under whose charge the con struction of the breakwater and the improvements of the harbour have been placed. Her Majesty's steam ship Porcupine, Captain Bullock, R.N., was in readiness. Their Lordships (Admiral Dundas and Lord John Hay) proceeded to view the state of the breakwater, at the point of the Royal Naval-yard, and having giiren direc tions regarding it, at once proceeded on board the Por cupine, for the inspection of the dredging of the shoals in the harbour. The contractor, Mr. Williams, was on board, to afford all necessary information ; and after it cruise round the harbour, the ship returned and landed their Lordships, who forthwith repaired to the Cliff point, whence the magnificent breakwater springs. Their Lordships were accompanied by Mr. B. C. Bolton (our worthy Mayor), Messrs.. Cottenham, Randfield, Nalbo rough, George, and many others of our townsmen, who take an interest in the improvement of our locality, and were met by Mr. Freeman, the contractor of the works, and his able staff. Their Lordships were received by a salute of 19 guns from the Cliff, and by the loud and welcome cheers of the workmen, drawn up in two lines for the occasion. Their Lordships most minutely in spected the work, and were pleased to express their en tire approbation at the efficient way in which, so far, it has been constructed. It is, we understand, to extend 800 yards from the base of the chit More than 120 yards have been completed ; so that it will be seen that the work cannot be finished under three years.—lpswich Express. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MILLTA, Nov. 25.—The Peninsular and - Oriental Company's steamer Oriental, with mails and pas sengers from India, left the quarantine hal nour on the afternoon of the 20th inst., fur Gibraltar and South ampton. Her Majesty's ship Tyne, with invalids and officers appointed to other ships, left port for Algiers, Gibraltar, Tangiers, and Englafid on the 21st inst. On arriving in England, after being. in commission upwards of three years and a half, she will be paid off. The Neapolitan steamer the Ercolano, from ports of Sicily and Italy, arrived on the 22d inst., and left on the following day on her return voyage. The Anglo-Maltese steamer Scotia, with a full cargo of barley, arrived here from Athens on the 22d 'inst. The attempts made to sell her have proved a failure. The Dutch squadron, under the command of his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands, comprising the Prins von Orange frigate and the Juno and - Sambre Corvettes, left port on the morning of the 22d inst., steering for the westward. On going out salutes were exchanged between his Royal Highness and the forts. The French steamer Nil, from Beyrout and Alex andria, arrived here this day, and will proceed without delay to Marseilles direct. The French steamer Telemaque, from ports of the Levant, which his been performing• quarantine in this harbour, will proceed to ,Marseilles, touching at ports of Italy. The French steamer Leonidas, with mails from the Levant, due in the quarantine harbour, has not yet arrived. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Achilles, from the Black Sea and Constantinople and Smyrna, is not yet arrived, but is hourly expected. After taking on board the mails and passengers from India brought by the Ariel, she will proceed on her homeward voyage, vid Gibraltar. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ariel has just arrived with the , India mails on board. They go on-by-the Spitfire, via Marseilles, at noon. PORTS MO ITYII, WEDNESDAY.—The melancholy yet truthful detail of the condition in which the widow and family (seven daughters and three sons) of the late Lieu tenant William Pringle Green, who was upwards of 40 years a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, have been left, we had hoped would have been productive of some pecu niary benefit from those in office, whose predecessors, and the country generally, have benefited so largely by his inventions and services, towards the survivors of,that ill-used man. We. have waited in anxious expectancy some benevolent offering from the Lords of the Admi ralty towards the relief of that distress under which the family are now suffering; and which becomes more poignant as the incleMency of the weather increases. Immediately after our announcement of the death of the veteran, his fourth daughter, Harriet, addressed the First Lord of the Admiralty, asking assistance. The follow ing was the reply:— " Admiralty, Nov. 2. " Madam,—l am desired by Lord Auckland to ac knowledge the receipt of your memorial, and to say, that in consequence of the numerous prc , sing claims upon his Lordship he much regrets that it is not in his power to afford you any relief.—l nave the honour to be, Madam, your obedient servant. AlibE H. C. Green. `• HENRY EDEN" Will it be believed that Lor, Auckland has 416 • numerous" claims upon hi_ pur , .. as First Lordof the Admiralty, as to tie compeiui r f..se considera tion to the appeal ~f one xhos., claim was infinitely more " pressing" than an) his Lordship can possibly have upon his list? _ This application having failed in its effect upon the benevolence of the head of the Admiralty personally, Miss Green next addressed a petition to the BNard in an appeal to the Compassionate Fund. The following was the result:— " Admiralty, Nov. 4. " Madam—Having laid before my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty your letter of the 27th instant, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you that your claim to an allowance from the Compassionate Fund will be taken into consideration at the usual pe riod next March.—l am, Madam, your very humble servant, " H. G. WARD. " Miss H. C. Green, 4, Mile-end -terrace, Landport, Hants." This cold reply is scarcely an improvement on the First Lord's, as it appears the family must starve until " March next," before any sustenance can be awarded them from this " compassionate " fund. Miss Green next addressed the Royal Naval Bene volent Society, but this body, with far more humanity than is exhibited by its " compassionate" contemporary, or the First Lord, has not deigned any reply whatever to her appeal. - n Captai Pasco, of the Victory, who is well acquainted with 'all, and much more than we have stated, of this distressing case, will be but too happy to receive any subscriptions in behalf of the family, an object which our correspondent at Portsmouth will also be happy to further. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, with a true spirit of benevolence, which reflects increased lustre upon his character, has himself set on foot a subscription among his private friends for the benefit of the widow and fatherless. The Myrtle steam tender, Second Master Balliston, commanding, sailed on Monday evening, to bring back Lieutenant Moorson and the men belonging to the St. Vincent, employed in taking the Avenger steam frigate to Plymouth. The Mercury tender, which returned from her trip to the coasts of Sussex and Kent, to obtain men, yes terday, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth to assist the Myrtle in bringing back the St. Vincent's crew. The Mercury did not bring more than eight men and boys. The Echo steam-tug has been employed to-day ia embarking a cieticEment or the 97th Foot, from Cowes, on board the Florentia freight ship, for passage to Malta. The Rattlesnake surveying-ship, Captain Owen Stan ley, was towed out of harbour yesterday Morning, and anchored at Spithend. The Grappler steam vessel, Lieutenant .commauding T. H. T_Aysaght, came into the harbour last evening. The Wanderer,. 16, Commander Somerville, was off the Pongas; on the 12th of O c t o b er , expecting to be at Sierra Leone in a month or thereabouts. The Frolic, 16, Commander Hamilton, is expected to arrive in England, from the Pacific, about the end of May next. WoormrcH, DEC. I.—Commodore Sir J. J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., assumed the superinten.. dance of this dockyard to-day, and hoisted hi,. broad. pendant (blue) on board her Majesty's vessel the William and Mary yacht. The Illiadatnanthus steam-vestel, Mr. Aylen Master Commanding, arrived on Saturday from Portsmouth and Ireland, to have hor det.-ets made good, which , w ill occupy the remainder. of ti e prey(-tit w. ck.

The Sidon steam frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., is reported to be still at Greeohithe Mr. Keyse, the inventor of a r,‘yal li.e preserving and Swimming apparatus, attended fit Woolwich dockyard tb-day, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, to make experiments with his invention, but in consequence of the coldness of the weather, the experiments were post poned until a more favourable opporttinity of testing them occurred. Mr. Keyse exhibited his appall+ tus to Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier, Knight, C. 73, and K.C.H. DEC. 2.—The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain llender son, 0.13., left her anchorage ground at Green} Tithe, on Sunday, with the intention of proceeding some . distance, hut in consequence of the great number of N , essels in the river was obliged to anchor off Graves er.d. A strong ebb-tide was running at the time, which acted so strongly on the great length of the frigate, and the en gines not being under command as she swung, tie cable parted at the hawse, and rendered it necessary to let go another anchor, one of Porter's, of 40 cwt., hay ing been supplied to the Sidon previous to leaving her x noorings at Woolwich, and the vessel was brought up cast ely with the second anchor. The Sidon returned to Gmenhithe in the afternoon. On Monday she made an. experi mental trip to the Nore, and returned to Gr eenhithe, where she is expected to remain about ten days, i order to have some alteration made in the sts rting gear of the engines, and to shift a defective era nk on the paddle-shaft.
