THE NAVY—IMPRESSMENT. It must be a very consolatory circumstance to those who are so tremblingly alive to any reports concerning the deficiencies of our navy, that their misgivings are seldom shared by the parties who may not unnaturally be conceived to possess the best in formation on the subject. Hardly a naval man will be found who will not unhesitatingly assert that the improvement of the navy in almost every department has, within his own recollection, been immense ; and such as have had the good fortune to get service in these dull times almost unanimously avow their conviction that the superiority of every vessel now in commission to her counterpart of thirty years since is something quite inconceivable to those who have never enjoyed the opportunities of comparison. Setting aside indeed for the moment one particular of the most vital importance, in which the worst abuses of the old system bid fair to be revived when occasion may call, we imagine that the apprehensions so generally felt from time to time regarding our naval force have arisen from statements and inferences pub lished by persons who judged only from what they saw and heard, and which were imperfect for want of due in formation, and influential only from w an t o f d ue contra diction. When it was asserted, and not denied, that the navies of France and America were rapidly sur passing our own in extent, equipment, and discipline, the tendency of most people to suspect the worst secured a ready acceptance to the rumour, and the blunders and mishaps which really occurred in our dockyard experi ments gave a colour to the tale, and all went together to disturb the equanimity of the public on this most im portant point. The self-vindication of responsible officials was, of course, not everywhere satisfactorily accepted. What was required was, that some impartial exposition of the real state of things, supported by authority, based on facts, and admitting of verification, should hare been laid before the public in as intzliigible form. This has been attempted by Rear - admiral Bowles, in a short pam- Itnti ai the close of the last session, but we can hardly say with any great success. It is not that we dis e .rust the correctness of his general views—on the Contrary, our impression is, that the mischief of ur constructive and instructive vagaries is compara tively superficial, and that we are really, except in a single item, most admirably provided with the solid materials of a fleet to steam or sail against any navy in the world. We do not say the thing could not be done ; we only think that Admiral Bowles has not done it. A gentleman more peculiarly fitted than the Admiral for the task he had assumed could hardly have been named. He had been a Lord of the Admiralty, and had inspected the experiments of a squadron; yet, as his accession to the naval administration had been very recent, he had, as he himself remarks, but little claim to personal credit, and therefore but little temptation to exaggerate the improvements for which it was de manded. With all these opportunities of information and pre tensions to authority, he has said little more to the purpose than could have been urged by a half in formed or anonymous pamphleteer. He touches on one or two leading points, but compresses the whole of his remarks upon them into one or two bare assertions. We do not doubt that his assertions are true ; but something beyond assertion was precisely what was wanted, and his was precisely the pen from which it was expected. It was not without misgivings that we saw a professed view of the state of the navy put forth in a single widely-printed octavo sheet, of which one-third is consumed in the preamble. The truth is, that this preamble is more to the point than any other portion of the book. The exaggerations of jealousy and the mis-statements of ignorance alluded to by the Admiral were undoubt edly the things to be combated. Nothing could be clearer than the duty of a competent person to " dispel these dangerous delusions, and place the real state of the navy before the public;" nor do we for a moment hesitate to concur with the gallant author in his idea, that "no one could perform this service with more propriety than himself." The Admiral's shot is terribly disappointing. He gets a rod sight of the mark, and a good measure of the distance, and then drops his bullet a thousand yards short. People who despair of England's safety because the Avenger is over-engined will not be comforted by a concise intimation that " mean- Wlule the country may be assured that our B!‘eant navy is' in a very efficient and satisfactory consli- Lion ; nor will those respectable ladies, who have been *aught to dread the rampant uxoriousness of French princes, he quieted by the news that Sir Robert Peel's Government set up a steam-hammer at Devenport. The terribly deficient regulations for the supply of sea miest to which we have alluded above are briefly noticed by the Admir a l, w h o a d m i ts hi s acqua i ntance w i t h this weakness of our system, and observes, that his ants have never been wanting to impress its impor tance on his colleagues. Considering the unanimity which all parties seem to profess upon this point, it Is not a little extraordinary that all should so concur in neglecting it. No Government measure has yet been projected, or, at least, been published, for superseding a necessity equally dangerous and disgraceful. We still go on in such a course, that, at the very first outbreak of War, all the old villanies of impressment must be put in practice again. We may find some difficulty in substi tuting an efficient and equitable system of recruiting our crews, but we may at least try an experi ment. Half the perseverance that has been shown in making the Scourge carry her bombs, or the Retribution her engines, might have perhaps suc ceeded in organising a reserve of able-bodied seamen at every port. It is hardly clear why we should so neglect the nobler and manlier lesson. For, however laudable may be our yearnings after perfect models, it should never be forgotten, that it was rather in fighting than in running that the strength of our navy was pre sumed to lie. It was by our sailors, not our ships, that we swept the seas from tho Isle of France to Falmouth. The top-heavy tubs of our most covetous contractors took in tow the finest models from Toulon or Rcchefort, and if the excellencies in the two departments of the service were irreconcilable with each other, we would willingly relin quish to other nations the palm of ship-building, and content ourselves with the prerogative of conquering for our own use the magnificent vessels of our enemies. Times, THE POTATO FAILURE. DUKE OF SUTHERLAND. The subjoined addresses have been circulated by his Grace the Duke of Sutherland to his smaller tenants and workpeople. The potato failure has fortunately been less severe in that county than in Invernessshire or parts of Rossshire, but the Duke expresses his conviction that assistance is necessary, and that it should be ren dered in the shape of employment. A tenant in Suther landshire—Mr. Hall, Evelix, near Dornoch—has pub lished a statement relative to the the people of that county. He says the potatos in his neighbourhood are " nearly half-rotten, but the corn gives well to meal." Mr. Hall corrects the Times Commissioner as to the houses of the peasantry in Sutherland. " From where I write," he says, " there are upwards of one hundred houses within my view occupied by crofters and cotters, and only three where the walls ars made of earth. All the rest are substantially built with stone and and lime, or atone and clay; their offices mostly of the same materials, and substantially thatched with atone and clay. The whole county, as to houses, is almost all alike. Now, as to rents. The crofters and cotters generally pay from ss. to 2e. 6d. the Scotch acre for what is arable land, and for what is not arable, adjoining their lots, they pay nothing. The fact is, the rents cannot be lower, if we pay rent at all. I must acknowledge the lots are generally too small to make anything of them but a bare subsistence; but I consider that class of people better off in Sutherland than in any other of the northern counties. I have been acquainted over all Scotland—and part of England—for above fifty years, and I consiner the crofter set off people in Sutherland now, as to their houses and accommoda• Lion, about on a par with those of the same class in the southern counties of Scotland about fifty years ago. The class of people I allude to cannot make rich on such small holdings, but they are generally comfortable, and they show that at kirk at market, for you cannot zee a better clad or better looking people in all Scotland, or in the kingdom." The following are the Duke's ad dresses : " I have received a petition from some of the inhabi tents of the parish of Clyne, stating the failure of the potato crop, and praying that measures ' be immediately devised for the purpose of providing food for the people,' and to arrest as much as possible the impending famine.' " I take the opportunity, is answering this petition, to address the tenantry generally, on the deeply important subject to which it refers. It has received my stoat anxious attentioa from the time when I found that the disease in the potatos had extended to the county. " In order to ascertain its progress and extent, and to enable me to determine what was the best course to pursue, I have had regular reports, from various sources, frem every parish with which I am connected. It is satisfactory that the reports, and especially the most recent, concur in stating that the calamity is less exten sive than was apprehended. "In some parishes the disease has, unfortunately, prevailed to a lamentable extent : in others, the pots toe have suffered little injury, not beyond the average ; on the coastside the disease, though severe, is not uni versal. " It is satisfactory to learn that other crops were never more abundant or better secured, which, together with • general demand for labour, must diminish the evils occasioned by the unfortunate failure of the potatos. It is, no doubt, natural that the failure should impress the sufferers with the apprehensions which shey express ; but it is satisfactory to find, on full consideration, reason to hope that there is no danger here of famine. Such a calamity is best guarded against by the economical use of what has been granted to us, and this I am anxious to impress on those whose means make them indeaeudent of potatoes as an article of food. I have felt it a duty in my own family and household to abstain entirely from their use for a considerable period, and feel justified in recommending such a measure. " I fully concur in the opinion entertained by persons most competent to judge, that if, to meet an emergency, substance becomes necessary to enable the labourer to provide food, a supply of employment is most desirable, and for those who may be prevented from leaving fami lies to work in the south, where the demand for labour is great, it should be our endeav our t o p rov id e a ddi t i ona l work at ho me , and such a.s may pr ove most use f u l to t h e people. Th ere was, probably,wit never a time when wor k has been so generallynaearieach. I have every con fidence that the dealers in the fair market price, for wilt provide supplies, at dealer seem to offer the best means Purc by ase* which the diffi culties regular ee necessities requires can be met ; if extraordinary unusual exertions, such will not be want e i " The helpless poor will be p rov id e d b y he parochial boards with meal, agreeably to recommendation received in regard to them. e , My attention has not been confined to the present we. In order to meet future exigencies, the gentlemen in my confidence will take measures to raise, in different parts of the country, the best sorts of cabbage plants for distribution ; and offer prizes also for the largest quantity of onions and leeks, for which seed will be fur nished; the announcements have been circulated. I wish much to encourage the cultivation of these vegetables. On the north and west coasts, premiums for fishing have also been advertised. " These important matters, to which reference has been made, hare long occupied the attention of myself, and of those whom I consult, and shall continue to do so. I must conclude with observing, that our trial of this distress has been less severe than those of many others elsewhere, and we can best show our grateful sense of Divine mercy by using carefully the means vouchsafed to us, and by assisting others. " With heartfelt good wishes, I remain your sincere friend, " SUTHERLAND, " Dunrobin, October 12, 1846." "TO THE +SUTHERLAND MEN EMPLOYED ♦T THE GOLSPIE QUARRY. "The Duke of Sutherland is desirous of saying a few words, to express his pleasure in giving them employ ment, the want of which is felt here as well as in many other places. Yet the thought must occur that the pre sent employment cannot be of long duration, and that if the quarry itself be not exhausted, still the occasion for the work cannot continue. It may be hoped that new means for so desirable an object may be found, but there can be no certainty, and many must have to go south for work, to earn for themselves and families, and to meet future difficulties. It should be the endeavour of every one to make some saving, and as the saving bank pays interest for small suns which could not be otherwise profitably placed, and the Mike of Sutherland is responsible for the safety of the deposits regularly made, let it be used accordingly. All that can be saved will no doubt be hereafter needed ; and those who thus show their prudence will have the best claim for consi deration. " SUTHERLAND." " Dunrobin, Oct. 12, 1846."—Inverness Courier. A SECOND LETTER TO THE MEM BERS OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES, AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN LAND. Gentlemen,—As I find that my first address to you has excited some attention, I shall, with your permis sion, enter a little more fully into the subject. But before I do this, allow me to warn you against certain classes of persons who may mislead you in this important matter. The first consists of men who are fond of novelties, sanguine beings who run with eagerness after every painted bubble which the excited brain of the enthu siast throws off. These persons, often with the best intentions, will hail any scheme which is proposed with rapture ; will talk themselves out of breath in its praise; but when the real difficulties present themselves, when the eye of criticism looks coldly upon it, and still more when the shaft of satire is directed against it and its proposer, they will fall away and go in search of ether things. Do not, then, trust to these persons, but use your own faculties as men of common sense, and judge for yourselves. Another class will go as far on the other side. Unable to perceive anything beyond their own narrow range of vision, they will obstinately refuse to believe that any thing which they do not see or have not seen can really exist ; and to this class belong those who not only can not see, but who will not see. Beware of these also, and judge for yourselves. But besides these two classes, who are generally honest and well-intentioned, there are others with whom we have to deal to whom I cannot apply these epithets. Remember that in proposing great changes I am affect ing not only the interests of many thousands of persons, but those of the most learned and the most subtle of men. Remember that my proposals must not only be proof against all that ingenuity, experience, and know ledge can suggest, but they are also exposed to all that malice can invent—all that jealousy can inspire. Re member that it has usually been the fate of those who have advanced truths opposed to the seeming interests of particular classes to hav e the fire w hi c h canno t b e effec tually directed against their measures turned on them selves. Remember that this may possibly happen in the present case. Neither must I forget that persons who have proposed reforms as great and as useful as I believe those which I propose to be, have struggled all their lives to establish them, and have passed their whole existence under the shade of calumny. This may pos sibly be my own fate, although so far I have no reason to fear it. But be who ventures to lead an assault must take his chance of being thrown down ; and it is over his body that others mount to the breach which he has made, and thus obtain the victory. I would not trouble you with all this, if I did not think it necessary; and now, before telling you what Ido want, allow me to tell you what I do not want. I do not wish any alteration, as some one has suggested, either in the law of primogeniture or in the law of entail. It appears to me that the law of primogeniture is well adapted to the institutions of this country, and I do not wish to alter those institu tions ; nor do I at all object to the present law of entail as it exists in England. If persons choose to entail their lauds, I do not see why they should not be allowed to do so, provided every tenant in tail may cut off the entail at 21. This is now the law in this country, and I see no reason for altering it. But what I do wish you to obtain is this—that you may transfer your land, if you wish to do so, more easily and with less expense; that you may buy your land more easily and with less expense; that if you wish to borrow money on your land, you may do it more easily; and that if you wish to invest money on other people's land, you may do it more easily. These may seem very trite and simple matters. But you know that at present you cannot do any of them both safely and easily ; you know that the expense and difficulty of those transactions are always great, and in many cases enormous; and I will now show you how this state of the law affects the value of your land. In doing this, I must be permitted to consider land as a commodity, the value of which depends on the rules which govern the value of any other commodity. In a former age, we know that it was treated differently. It was considered as a means of affording a defence to the State. It was governed by a different policy. Every piece land had an armed warrior to maintain its possession for his lord. You may smile at this, but the remnant of this system is in existence at the present moment as a legal fiction. This ideal seisin of land, as it is called, , s ever present to the eye of the law, and must not be disturbed for one moment ; and many absurd consequences still arise from this state of the law. It is of no great practical consequence, but I mention it to show that we are in tke habit of treat ing land as if it was essentially different from other commodities, when the reason for so considering it has entirely ceased. We make a mystery of it ; we blind fold our own eyes in all our dealings with it ; before we can even talk respecting it correctly we must learn a new language; we have been hitherto content to consider it as a distinct artiele, to be dealt in by a few, and under cir cumstances not existing in anything else. Now if any body thinks this should be so—that some political advantage is to be gained by so considering it—that some great state policy is involved in it—l shall be quite willing to hear him as to that ; but as I do not know any one who does think so, I must assume that land, if it be possible to make it so, and so far as the nature of the thing allows, should be dealt in as any other com modity, and that the same rules regulate its value. Now what are those rules? Do not be afraid that I lam going into any politico-economical questions. The rules of which I wish to remind you are familiar to you all, and are acted on by all; and our good Dame Debo rah is at this moment carrying them into actual prac tice as she rides on Dobbin to sell her butter and eggs. What she wants for her commodities, arid what you want for your land, is a certain market, and as large a class of purchasers for your commodity as possible. Supposing you ;could not sell your land at all, what would be its value? Does it nut follow from this that the nearer the state of the law approximates to a positive prohibition of sale, the more is your land depreciated in value—and the greater the facility you can getin disposing of the land, the higher will be its value? The greater ease, the less expense which attends its transfer, thegreater will be the number of persons who will be disposed to deal in it ; and if they can part with it again as readily as they have acquired it, the less hesitation will they have in purchasing it. Now, land is of intrinsic value ; it is as valuable as gold or as jewels, and should be nearly as readily convertible. But how stand the facts ? Persons may tell you that you can buy it readily, and sell it readily, just as the shoemaker may tell you that your tight shoe is a perfect fit. But, alas ! you know that this is not the case. You know the delay, the difficulty, the expense, the hazard of all dealings with land, and can you wonder that it affects the state of the market for it ? How many persons in this great city of London, the market for every other commodity, are owners of land in fee simple ? How many of its in habitants having 5001. to invest ever think of investing it in land in the way either of purchase or of mortgage? Are not the middle and lower classes practically ex claded from the purchase of land ? Do the great consumers of all other commodities deal in this ? And is this state of things beneficial to any class ? Do you suppose that persons in the middle and lower ranks do not wish to be purchasers of land ? Let th e success o f the late b u i ld i ng so cieties, which are a clumsy contrivance to supply this demand, answer th a t quest i on. The Englishman does not differ in this respect from the Frenchman, the Belgian, or the Prussian, except that the men of the last three nations can and do supply their wants in this respect, but the Englishman the law sends empty away. For who, without some other purpose to gain, or having some other object in view, having a small sum to lay out, would endure the delay, uncertainty, and ex pense which he knows full well attend the purchase of land ? He knows not what time he may have to wait for the completion of his title, what expense he may not incur, and that after all the purchase may go off alt o gether, and he stand plantd la without his interest. Is it to be wondered at that, under these circumstances, a thousand persons enter the Stock-Exchange to invest their savings for one who goes to the Auction Mart? Well, then, gentlemen, is there no remedy for this state of things ? Are the circumstances which should be peculiarly favourable to the landownerin . this country to he pleaded as a bar to his obtaining his just rights ? Land should be more, not less, valuable here than on the continent ; for there is much less land, comparing it with the population, and much more money to invest in it. What, tben do I ask? Inquiry. Ido not ask you to adopt those institutions which I have already mentioned as existing in other neighbouring countries—a register of titles and a general map by which all lands may be described and conveyed. I merely urge upon you to demand of the Government that inquiry shall be made .ewhetherdp fto4euldin these th s institutions. country l e y za v ai en in tz loi to of ex t p a h r e es s s ub m je y et, op t in h i e o y n, m t a h y at be af m te ad r ea the groundwork of a great change, of which" you will immediately receive the benefit. This is not the place to enter into details, but I am prepared to do so if neces sary ; and if the professional knowledge and ingenuity which exist in this country are turned in this direction, I have no doubt of the result being satisfactory. I ask for no rash, no sudden change. I cannot too often repeat that I ask only for competent and disinterested inquiry. And now one word, in conclusion, to the members of my own profession. Many who are most competent to form an opinion on the subject agree with me in thinking that the time is come when a great change is neces sary. But there are many others who believe that their own interests are bound up in the present system. I do respectfully beg these last to consider this well. No one proposes to dispense with professional services in dealings with land. Let them, then, remember that if these are greatly increased in number, the profession who assist in making them will be the first to benefit by the change. What motive can I have in urging a measure injurious to my own branch of the profession ? If there be poison in the cup which I ask my brethren to drink, I myself must suffer from its contents. Let u', then, approach this inquiry with calm and unprejudiced minds, and I am sanguine enough to hope that all classes will be benefited by it, and the legal profession among others.—l am, gentlemen, your moat obedient servant, JAMES STEWART. Lincoln's Inn, Oct. 28, 1846. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING, SATURDAY. The number of matches that went off in 'fotfeits reduced a bill of fare that at one time promised a surfeit of sport, down to nine races, and gave the stewards an opportunity of fixing their commencement sufficiently late to enable all who were so disposed to post up and settle their accounts, leaving only the last day's bets to be balanced at Tatter sall's. There had been some talk of a "November" meet ing, and there is little doubt that had the weather been fa vourable in the early part of the week some races would have been made ; the fog, however, threw a damp upon the spirit of match making, and the anticipated second supple mental sheet was not forthcoming. The concluding day's racing was not remarkable for its interest, but the weather was fine, and it proved a very satisfactory wind-up to the most brilliant season ever placed on record.

They ran in this order to the cords, where African gave way, and Elimea and Wilderness became second and third. Half-way up Wilderness headed Elimea, and " col lared" the Terrier, but could obtain no advantage over him, the finish being so literally "head and head" that the judge pronounced it a dead heat.

The withdrawal of Due an Durras, after a good deal of business had been done at 6 to 4 on him and 7 to 4 agst Prospect, led to a bit of an erneute, those who, on the faith of his running, had betted against Prospect, exclaiming loudly against the noble owner, and declaring that the bets against him, as well as those against Duc an Durras, ought to be off. Cases of this kind, however, have occurred before, and have made a sensation, but the sufferers have had, invariably, to " grin and bear it." Of course the question will become a matter of reference, and we trust will lead to the adoption of a law that will in future render all bets void made under similar circumstances.

CESAR BORGIA.—This new work by the author of the popular historical romance, " Whitefriars," is re ported to possess features as remarkable for their novelty as for their interest. It is, we expect, an illus tration of Italian history of the most singularly graphic and picturesque character—the period being the most remarkable in its annals—tbe principal personages among the most extraordinary that ever existed —and the scene, with occasional variations, in that locality which, as much by the scholar as the Christian, must ever be regarded as the most famous in the world. On this story of Rome, in the era of the Borgias, the able author of " Whitefriars" is said to have put forth all hi, well-known descriptive and imaginative talent. num SUPPLIES.—No less than sixteen ships ar rived in the river Thames on Monday, from the Irish ports, laden almost exclusively with food and provisions of various kinds, the produce of that country, having, collectively, 14,960 packages of butter, 224 packages of pork, 1,047 hampers and bales of bacon, several of hams, 140 sacks, 2,926 barrels, and 7,788 quarters of oats, 434 packages of lard, 75 of general provisions, 40 of oatmeal, 44 of porter, 259 of eggs, and a variety of other articles of lesser importance, which it would be quite needless further to particularise. Of these almost unprecedentedly numerous arrivals in one day, from the sister island, five were from Limerick, one from Belfast, two from Water ford, one from Galway, one from Kilrush, two from Dublin, one from Youghal, and three from Cork. We do not mention these arrivals in this hasty and succinct manner with any motives of a political character, with reference to the present state of that portion of the United Kingdom, but as faithful chroniclers of passing events, we deem it our duty to record them for the in formation of those most interested and concerned, with out any further present remarks on the subject. KIECALDY. — WHALERS.—Saturday the Regalia and Caledonia whale ships, belonging to this port, arrived here from Davis' Straits, the former having four fish, or about sixty tons ; the other only t wo fi s h.

MYSTERIOUS Gem-A burglary of a mysterious nature is reported to have been committed in the course of Sunday night, at Lawfield, near I)alkeith. Between five and six o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Walker, tenant of the farm before named, was found by his grieve in bed with a napkin tied over his mouth, both his hands pinioned to his sides, and his legs fastened to the bed post. Mr. Walker says he felt something restraining him in his sleep, but he has not the slightest conception haw or by whom he was thus so completely and deli berately bound. At a shut distance from the dwelling house a desk belonging to Mr. Walker was found broken open, and, it is said, 801. abstracted from it. The ex planation of this extraordinary case, so far as we have been able to learn, is, that some person, by means of a ladder, had effected an entrance into the attic story of the house, and after descending to Mr. Walker's bed room, perpetrated the theft. However, from the state ments current yesterday as to the result of the partial investigation into the circumstances made by the autho rities, and which is alleged to be altogether of a contra dictory and mysterious character, it appears doubtful whether any burglary has in reality been committed. The matter, which has created great sensation in the neighbourhood, is, in the meantime, undergoing judicial investigation.-Edinburgh Advertiser, Oct. 26. &C., DUTY FREE.-A Parliamentary paper was published on Monday, of twenty-four folio pages, showing the operation of the Act 5 and 6 Viet., c. 92, from the 10th of August, 1842, to the sth of January last. From the summary of the accounts given in the return, it appears that the wheat delivered from the warehouse or vessel, duty free, numbered 192,543 quarters and 7 bushels. Of the flour and biscuit de posited, 193,370 cwt. 3 qrs. 271 b. were fine wheat flour, 34,937 cwt. 2 qrs. of captains' biscuits, 185,973 cwt. 6 qrs. llb of biscuit of the standard of that supplied to the navy, 376,790 cwt. 3 qrs. Sib. of common ship biscuit, and 14 cwt. 3 qrs. 141 b. of fancy biscuit. Of the flour and biscuit mentioned, only 8,983 cwt. 2 qrs. 81b. was retained for home consumption, and the remainder taken out for exportation, either as merchandise or as stores. The quantities remaining in warehouse, or in the:course of removal, under bond, from port to port, on the sth of of January last, were 14,643 cwt. 2 qrs. 211 b. of fine wheat flour, 1,228 cwt. 3 qrs. 211 b. of captains' biscuit, 5,403 cwt. 2 qrs. 61b. of biscuit of the standard of that supplied to the nary, and 8,224 cwt. 3 qrs. 171 b. of com mon ship biscuit. DEGRADATION OF AN AUSTRIAN GENERAL.-We give the following particulars of a recent affair which has scandalised society in Vienna :-Field Marshal Lieute nant Count de Tisch had betrothed his only daughter to the Baron de 5--, a Lieutenant of Hussars, who re mitted to him the sum of 6,000 florins (15,600 francs) in state securities by way of recurity for the fulfilment of his engagement to marry Mademoiselle de Tisch. Two months afterwards all parties amicably agreed to ware the marriage entirely. The Baron of course claimed his cash, or rather his securities, but M. de Tisch had the effrontery to deny having received them. An actien was immediately instituted for the recovery of the pro. perty, but, as the Baron could bring forward no positive Froof of the deposit, the tribunal d ecree d th a t i n case ield Marshal Count de Tisch would affirm on oath that he had not received the bonds, the Baron de S should be cast, and condemned to pay the costs. This ;oath was gulped by Count do Tisch without hesitation, and he at the same time accused M. de 5- before the Criminal Tribunal of defaming his reputation. The Court sentenced the poor Baron to pay a heavy fine, and to one year's imprison ment, which compelled the young officer to leave the service. His relatives, however, strained every nerve to obtain proofs of the deposit made with Count de Tisch, and they at length discovered that that officer had secretly sold the securities in question. They imme diately denounced the guilty reprobate to the Aulic Council of War, and the " worthy Count" having been clearly convicted of perjury and embezzlement, was con demned to be degraded as infamous, and sentenced, besides, to ten years hard labour by way of appendix. The Emperor, however, considering that M. de Tisch had been his preceptor, commuted the first penalty to that of simple degradatioe, and annulled the other en tirely. The sentence thus modified was executed on the 15th inst., at noonday, before the Aulic Council of War. The Field-Marshal Count de Tisch was led into the hall before the judges, general officers, and all th e co l one l s at Vienna. The usher having read the sentence, the pro vost- of the general staff approach e d M . de Tisch, tore off' his decorations, stripped him of hi s Fi e ld-M ars h al ' s uniform, and dragged him from th e h a ll , t hi s last act S military duti es . -P aris paper.

The line-of-packet ship Toronto brought from New York the large number of 2,848 boxes of American cheese, 150 barrels of pork, 100 of beef, 1,796 kegs of lard, 54 casks and 248,5701 b. weight in bulk of oilseed cake for feeding cattle, with a variety of other productions ; the Sheridan, from New York, 30 packages of apples, 1 ,678 barrel s o f flour 1 912 of lard, 203 barrels of pork, 65 7 boxes of c h eese, 7,000 9,000 bushels of w h eat, 335 barrels of , , 3,400 bushels o f I n di an corn; the Philadelphia, 1,301 k egs of lard, 40 vb cornuys h o ne o ga f co f ra r o n n md , tierces of beef, 6,400 bushels of wheat, 100 barrels of flour, 563 barrels of corn meal, and the large quantity of 14,700 bushels of Indian corn, all the produce of the United States ; the ship Sea, from New York, brought 3,605 barrels of flour, 650 barrels and 76 tierces of lard, 81 firkins of butter, several barrels of hams and bacon, 21 packages of beef, 270 boxes of cheese, 4,603 bushels of wheat, and 4,115 bushels of Indian corn ; the Southerner, from New Orleans, 3,033 barrels of flour, 9 packages of biscuit, 250 barrels and 22 tierces of beans, and 16,025 bushels of wheat and other produce • the Henry P ra tt, f rom N ew O r l eans, 620 sacks of wheat, and a variety of other articles; the Washington Irving, from Boston, 1,892 barrels of flour, 100 boxes of onions, 660 barrels of pork, 14 packages of hams, 161 packages of beef, 3,099 kegs and 1,422 barrels of lard, with a variety of other productions ; and the Great Western steam-ship, from New York, brought an unusually large quantity of American cheese, comprising 4,969 boxes of the article, 730 barrels of apples, several packages of flour, 70 kegs of butter, 92 casks and other pack- ages of hams, 28 of pork, 37 barrels of beef, and 82 barrels of biscuit, the whole the produce of the United States of America. The Henry Clay, subsequently arrived a t t h e ' port of Liverpool from New York, has brought 2, 856 b arrels of flour, 532 barrels of apples, the large nu m b er of 2,794 boxes of cheese, 462 barrels of beef and biscuit, the l arge quantity of 80 firkins an d 100 k egs o f pork, 40 b arre l s of genera l prov i s i o ns, 70 of butter, 10 barrels of vinegar, 2,630 quarters of wheat, and other productions, which need not be more parti cularly mentioned, altogether forming a cargo of an ex tensive n a t ure. This list includes the arrivals at the port of Liverpool up to the 27th, and the port of London to the 29th inst., inclusively, according to the latest official and current returns, and will doubtless be read with interest by the general pablic, as they will form a subject of importance to the numerous parties concerned is the importation of provisions from foreign and distant parts of the world for consumption in this country. A LESSON FOR Goamalloisnas.-On Friday morn ing a kingfisher was found dead on the banks of the pool at Allensmore, near this city, with a perch about two inches and a half long in its throat. The bird had at tempted to swallow the fish whole, but the dorsal fin of the latter appears to have alike prevented descent or return ; fixed, conseque n tly i n t h e gu ll e t, th e vi c tim caused the death o f its beautiful but voracious destroyer by suffocation. The plumage of the kingfisher is fur nished with a sort of metallic surface resplendent with the most brilliant hues -hence the action of water pro duces little effect upon it, and the manner in which the bird will dart beneath the surface of a river or stream and seize its prey transversely is remarkable. Returned to its position on a tree or bank, it commences the de struction of the captive. Without losing its h o ld , i t passes the fish b e t ween its manibles until it has grasped it fairly by the t a il , and then ends the strugg l es o f t h e prey, by beating it s h ead against the place where i t s i ts. The bird next reverses the position, and if it has no young to which to bear off the prize, swallows its prey, head-foremost. This appears to have been the case in the present inst atce, b ut the repast be i ng too b ount if u l proved fatal. M r . B aker, of Bye-street, stuffed the bird j ust as it was found, with t h e fi s h i n i ts mouth. - Heryforcijeus e d, has ingeniously NEW MODE OF PROPULSION. BOULOGNE, OCT. 27.—A considerable degree of inte rest has been excited within the last two days here by certain experiments made upon an entirely new system of propelling vessels, which, if capable of being carried out npon a largo principle, must not only supersede paddle-wheels, but also the Archimedean screw. It has long been considered a matter of impossibility that the principle of the paddle-wheel could be rendered of any useful effect when totally submerged. The present in vention has demonstrated to a certainty that such a dis advantage san be overcome. The experiments yesterday and to-day were effected by hand labour, the motive force being fitted into the stern of a pilot boat, and the authorities of this town having, with great liberality, permitted the machinery to be used for the experiments in the harbour, bond being given that it would, after a certain number of days, be exported. Upon the first trial the captain of the port, M. Pollet, steered the boat, and to-day also, when there were present the de puty mayor of the city, M. Martinet, as well as the following official parties connected with the city :—M. Demarle, president of the chamber of commerce ' • M. Birle, M. Pellet, captain of the p or t ; M. C oque t, bro ker ; Captain de Lattre, and other members of the chamber of commerce. Captain Tune, of the Emerald steamer, was, with others, active in testing the merits of the invention. The parties named entered the boat in the presence of a great number of individals, who showed much interest as to the result, French as well as English. To the French authorities on board the trial trips were made most satisfactory ; and also to the patentee, Mr. Hodgson, and the authorities, civil and military, who witnessed the trials. As this may lead to a new era in the system of pro pelling vessels, the following outline of the modus ope randi may be esteemed of interest : The principle is based on the well-known properties of the parabola, as respects light, and the same proper ties are proved to be true as respects hydrostatics. The blades are sections of a paraboloid, and are so con structed as to impinge on the concave surface, whereby the water is grasped and compressed to the centre of the axis, and thrown off in a direct line with the plane of the vessel's course, thereby rendering the propulsion superior in efficiency to the common paddle-wheel, being uniform and continuous, without drawback in respect of back-water. Another advantage exists in the area of surface as , as less th an one -h a lf o f pa ra k more efficie n tly w ith th e same compared power. bol ic rwithearea will th e scr screw, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 3 THE THING, READING, AND I3ASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMPANY. The Court was much crowded during the investiga tion of this case by shareholders and creditors of the company. . . Air, Lawrence appeared as the solicitor to the fiat of bankruptcy, ➢Tr. James as counsel for the directors, to dispute various claims ; and Mr. Sergeant Alkr' for the shareholders, who contended that the directors had ex ceeded their authority, and varied from the terms of the subscription contract deed, and that they only were liable to the debts incurred. Mr. Blunt, their engineer, claimed a balance of 4501.; his examination was not finished when the Court rose. In one item he charged five guineas for attending the committee to receive 1001. on account. The case was adjourned to Friday next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. Mr. 'Ward, of the firm of Ward and Co., letter-press printers, Bear-alley, Farringdon-street, appeared to answer a complaint made by Edward Billing, a journey man in the press department, for refusing to pay him two weeks' wages, due under a hiring for eleven months certain, and not yet completed. Mr. Alderman Wood joined Mr. Alderman Hooper in the further hearing of the complaint. Mr. Wolfe supported the complaint, which was made by the order of the Trade's Union; and Mr. Wilkins, a solicitor, attended on behalf of Messrs. Ward, or rather a body of master printers. Several masters and jour aeymen were present. Billing deposed that he entered the service of the de fendants nine months ago, and was employed on press work. In April an apprentice was taken, and a man named Plummer was appointed to instruct him. Plum mer absented himself after a month, and complainant was appointed to work with and instruct the boy. After working two or three weeks, he heard that his employers intended to place the boy under the tuition of an elder apprentice, named Cooke, and, as ho would not be made a convenience of in this way, he immediately sought as explanation from his employer in the counting-house. He asked how he was to consider him self to be engaged, for he had heard he was to be dis charged when the work was short, and Cooke was to be put over the boy. Mr. Ward said he ad no idea of making such an alteration. Complainint understood stereotype work, and working wood engravings, and jobbing generally, and,so long as he attended to his time, and attended to the boy, he should continue for the rest of the twelve months. Witness immediately said, " And have the two guineas ? " Mr. Ward replied, " Yes, ex actly the same as Plummer." This satisfied him com pletely, and he went to work. He entered on this con tract on the 13th of May, and worked till the lath of October. He had a fortnight's warning at the end of September. He remonstrated on being so discharged, as contrary to the custom of the trade, which was, that a man who instructed a boy should be engaged for a whole year, at fixed weekly wages, and have two guineas at the end of the term. Mr. Ward said he intended to employ him again as soon as the work came in. He now claimed to be paid wages as being hired for a year. His wages were 11. 12s. a week. Benjamin Price, the apprentice, proved that he was bound on the 7 th of April; the complainant instructed him; and that he was now working with an elder appren tice, who received 245. a week. No journeyman had been taken in complainant's stead. There was only work for the one press which he worked. John Killingback, a master printer, the secretary to the Pressman's Union, deposed to the custom of the trade, which was, that when a boy was placed for instruc tion under a journeyman, it amounted to a tacit hiring for a year, at fixed weekly wages. It was forced by masters against the men to their annoyance. For in stance, all the men at Norman's printing-office, in Maiden-lane, struck for some cause, but he forced one man to return back and do his work, because he had contracted to bring up an apprentice for one year, and to receive 21. 2s. at the end of that time. Again, a clever hand desired to leave Mr. Whiting's, in Beaufort-build ings, in consequence of a dispute, but Mr. Whiting en forced his return on the ground of having undertaken to teach an apprentice, and that being a hiring for the year by the universal consent of the trae. The fact appeared to make a great impression on the mind of Mr. Alderman Hooper, who thought there should be a reciprocity of advantages as between masters and men. The foreman was called by the defendant to show that the complainant had spoiled some work, and from this the solicitor inferred Mr. Ward was at liberty to termi nate the hiring for incompetence. The solicitor for the defendant further denied that there was any such custom ; that if his client had assented to the contract the com plainant proposed to him, or, that if there were such a contract, that it could not be enforced except by actioh He proposed to call a number of masters to deny the custom. Mr. Wolfe proposed to call further evidence to prove the competence of his client to teach ; but Mr. Ward had employed Billing three months before he put him over the apprentice, and therefore knew beforehand that he was qualified. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he was not satisfied with the proof of the contract. It should have been reduced to writing, as it was of some importance, and then it could not have been alleged on one side and denied on the other. He thought he ought not to extend the Act to implied contracts and customs, especially where the custom was disputable. He regretted that the workmen continued to form unions, which harassed the masters, and in the end produced no pecuniary advantage to the men, the expenses of maintaining the union counter vailing all the benefits. Free competition was the proper law to obtain the best recompense for labour. Mr. Alderman HooPsa concurred in holding the proof of a contract to be insufficient, and the case was dis missed. MARYLEBONE. ' Eliza Clarke, a very genteely dressed young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having, by means of false and fraudulent representations, obtained goods from linendrapers, &c., and it is imagined that the prisoner has recently victimised tradesmen to a very considerable extent. At the station-house she stated to the inspector on duty that she was a dress maker, residing in the Strand. Mr. T. E. Evans, high-street, Hampstead, deposed that on Wednesday afternoon last the prisoner came to his shop, stating that her mistress, Mrs. Collins, of Heath-street, required a shawl, and that she wished some to be sent for her to choose from. The (prisoner) selected four, remarking that she thought one of them would suit, and while he (prosecutor) was putting them up in paper he asked her how her master and mistress were, to which she replied that her master was always better in winter than at any other time of the year, and she also made some observa tions with respect to her mistress being a cross•tempered woman who could not bear to be contradicted. Believ ing that all was right, and having been in the habit of supplying Mrs. Collins with drapery, &c., he gave the prisoner the parcel containing the shawls, and she then went away, when, hearing nothing respecting :the goods lie had (parted with, he, after some time had elapsed, went to Mrs. Collins, from whom he ascertained that no one answering the description of the prisoner was in her service, neither had she authorised any person to call upon him for shawls or any other article on the day named. It further appeared that on Friday the prisoner also called at the shop of Mr. Naylor, in Hanby-street, Kentish Town, and asked for some plaid shawls for her mistress, a Mrs. Brown, of Hanby-place, to whom Mr. Naylor immediately applied, and, finding the statement was false, he followed the prisoner to Camden Town into the shop of a staymaker, and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied having been into either of the shops, and it being understood that other charges of a similar character would be brought forward against her, she was remanded until Thursday next. THAMES. PROSECUTION BY A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—Robert Clement, formerly an Excise officer, and lately a dock labourer, was charged by Mr. William Verey, Railway Tavern, Wellington-place, Commercial-road, with steal ing a suit of clothes. The prosecution was brought by the Poplar Licensed Victualler's Protection Society. The circumstances were as follows : The prisoner, who had been his customer for several months, called on him in August, saying he had ob tained a situation at Liverpool, and required the loan of 1/. 155., for which ho offered to leave a suit of clothes as security. The temporary accommodation was granted, and a receipt given that they were to be retained till the money was repaid. Three months after the prisoner again called at his house, and, stating that he had a friend in the parlour who was ready to purchase the clothes, asked Mr. Veroy to oblige him with them. lie was afterwards discovered to have quitted the tavern with the clothes, which he pawned the same day for 18s. lie was apprehended on the charge a week after. A discussion ensued between the counsel engaged as to whether the offence amounted to a larceny. Mr. Verey and his waiter were called, but they were both unable to say whether any one accompanied the prisoner or waited for him in the parlour. Mr. BRODERIP committed the prisoner for trial, re marking that Mr. Verey wished to proceed with the case as one of importance to licensed victuallers, and it was one of that class of cases which it was best to leave to a judge to charge a jury, whether the prisoner took the clothes animofurandi or intentionally. The sham parcel impo3iton was played off on Friday night and Saturday morning upon two respect able 11 rceaal called dne eodn Friday le-s t ee t . night A fellow leoawc office,dressi le firms of rm a s porter, n a Tn and presented parcel, with a print e d bill, as if f rom Scorell's wharf, and by steam packet and railr oa d.

Th e thing was managed before any of the clerks arrived, and the principals had to pay between fifteen shillings and a pound for pieces of board and waste paper. I . "DUDLEY.--AWFU L MINE ACCIDENT. —F OUR MEN BURIED ALIVE !—On Friday week, an accident of a very dreadful nature occurred in the coal mine of Messrs. Phillips, Williams, and Co., situated between West Bromwich and Oldbury, near the Union Furnaces, which instantly hurried four persons into eternity, and narrowly perilled the lives of several others. Four men named Harvey, Harpwood, Cashmore, and Moss, had sat down to their mid-day meal, when the roof of the pit fell in with an awful crash, and the poor fellows were instantly covered by a mass of solid coal, and three hours of in cessant labour had elapsed before the whole were extri cated. One of them evinced slight signs of life, but in a few moments was numbered with his lifeless com panions. Others in the pit had a most providential escape.— Worcester Chronicle.

ABERYSTWITH, OCT. 25.—The weather for the past week has been exceedingly stormy, accompanied with heavy rain, also the sea in the bay running very high; we have not been visited for many years with such a storm, and continuing for so many days. On the morning of the 23d, the schooner Three Sisters, Davies master, of this port, belonging to James Davies, Es q (Green), ran for this port, with loss of standing jib, topgallant sail, and bulwarks ; being late on tide, she grounded on the north s id e o f t h e entrance or the harbour. The life boat was in immediate attendance, and put on board extra men and ropes to steady the vessel. In consequence of the heavy floods in the river, caused by the rains, the boat was unable to get oyez the pier ropes ; therefore a line was fired by the cannon on the pier used for such occasions to the vessel, and a communication was thus obtained. During the evening tide she was hauled off into the channel, and im mediately filled. Every exertion is being made to get her discharged and removed. Upon inquiry we find she is from Pentowyn, for Liverpool; cargo, china clay. During the afternoon a brig and schooner were observed on shore to the north-west, about six miles distant from this port ; both were running for the Dovey, although nearly low water. The schooner, being some distance ahem o 7 th© brig, grounded at the mouth of the river Dovey, and went to pieces ; crew saved by the life-boat. The brig, seeing the distressed situation of the schooner, let go her anchors and rode out the gale. Yesterday, the 23d, signals of distress and assistance were observed flying on the masts, and great praise is due to the extra ordinary exertion and manly conduct of Willoughby Miller, Esq., solicitor, who collected a boat's crew, and extra sailors, and put off to the brig, although the sea was running high and a stiff breeze of wind at the time; in about two hours, after great exertion, theyreached the brig in safety, and were received with a hearty welcome, for the crew were completely exhausted, and unable to do duty, and the vessel making water. Mr. Miller having left five men on board to assist the crew, the brig soon got under weigh. The wind having shifted and become fair, she proceeded on her voyage. On the re turn of Mr. Miller, he stated the brig was the Emerald of Scarborough, about 600 tons burden, wheat laden, from Odessa, for Liverpool. At daybreak on the morn ing of the 23d a barque was observed drifting for the shore about three miles and a half south of this port. Immediately the life-boat was manned, and horses put to the carriage and sent overland to the barque to render every assistance. Before they reached the spot, the ves sel drove up the beach so high that the boat was not re. quired. Upon inquiry we find that she is the Tamer lane, about 700 tons burden, Captain Ackland, from Liverpool, for New Orleans, cargo rock salt, with the loss of chains and anchors, and likely to become a total wreck. During the day two large vessels were in sight outside the Patches, and during the lull of the gale they set sail and stood out for the Channel. PRISONERS' CONFESSIONS.—A long discussion took place at the recent Quarter Sessions for West Sussex, between the chaplain of the prison, Mr. Longshaw, and the visiting magistrates of Petworth House of Correc tion, respecting the course to be taken by chaplains of prisons relative to confessions made by prisoners to the spiritual heads of prisons. It appears that a man named James Steer is now waiting his trial at the assizes, having been apprehended by a bench warrant, signed by Lord Denman, on a charge of conspiring for the purpose of obtaining from Percy Burrell a large sum of money, to prevent an unnatural offence being charged against him. The prisoner, it appears, made a confes sion to the chaplain with a view to restitution to a person whom he had formerly injured, and the chaplain carried the confession out of the prison in order to carry the wishes of the prisoner into effect. A letter written by the prisoner, and passed by the chaplain, was detained by the governor, and the whole affair then came under the notice of the visiting justices, who reported their opinion to the Court that the chaplain had been guilty of great indiscretion. The chaplain contended for the inviolability of the confession, and maintained his right to carry out the penitential resolutions of a pri soner in the way of restitution, without becoming the accuser of the penitent, or what would amount to the same thing, making the confession known to the visiting magistrates, since they would be bound to carry the law into force. The whole court was against the chaplain, Mr. Sergeant D'Oyly, the chairman, and the other magistrates, holding that the chaplain, was bound to divulge nothing, but that if he desired to use such con fession out of a prison he must first submit it to the visiting magistrates. The chaplain said he had acted conscientiously. This was a spiritual matter, and he owed obedience only to his spiritual superior, the bishop of the diocese, to whom he was willing to refer the ques tion. Tho chairman thought the chaplain, by accepting office in the gaol, owed obedience to the visiting justices and the prison rules. It was at length arranged that the subject should stand over for consideration till next ession, the chaplain agreeing to act on the opi n i on o f she visiting j ust i ces, should another such case occur. THE LATE GENERAL DUPONT.—The widow of General Dupont has, in consequence of the announce ment in Madrid of a subscription for a monument at Baylen, " to commemorate the surrender of General Dupont and 22,000 French troops to a Spanish army," addressed a letter to the Paris journals, in which she says--" It is not true that on the battle field of Baylen that 22,000 French laid down their arms before General Castanos. Not more than 7,000 or 8,000 men, including the field hospitals, which contained nearly 1,500 sick, 7,000 or 8,000 men, most of them young conscripts, worn down by the climate, by hunger and disease, and who had only been under fire once before, sustained on the field of Baylen the whole force of 20,000 enemies. of which the elite of the Spanish army formed part. In fine, General Dupont did not yield to the cruel necessity of capitulating until he had no more than 2,000 men in line able to stand up; when, despairing of being joined by two divisions, on which he had every reason to rely, and on the point of being assailed by a new Spanish corps, coming upon him in the rear, and thus placing him between two fires." BUDDING THE ORANGE. - The Bermuda Royal Gazette points out how a lemon or bitter orange tree can be cut down and converted into a sweet orange tree. The tree has to be cut across at about eight feet from the ground, and sweet orange buds inserted into the most succulent of the branches of the stock. This operation,it adds, has been prosperously practised in several gardens during this season, and it is easily accomplished, provided the trees be well manured, dug about, and kept perfectly free from grass and weeds. -------------- " L M.D .
