LONDON MONDAY E IV WILLIAMS'S NEWLY-INVENTED el ENGLISH CATAMARAN RAFT, or LIFE-BOAT. Wm. WILLIAMS, formerly a seaman in her Majesty's Royal Navy during the late war, and for many years since in the Merchant Service, having been cast away, and in a water-logged ship for many days, has devoted much of his time to the invention of a boat or raft, for the more effectual preservation of human life in cases of ship wreck, and having pal d great attention to the life-boats at present in use in this and other icountries, has: invented one witch :will more effectually answer the purpose for which it is 'intended, not being liable to capsize or fill with water, a great fault with many of the boats now in use, which is very often attended with serious consequences, owing to the delay which unavoidably occurs through the boats being capsized, and the men thereby unfit to render the assistance necessary for the preservation of the sufferers on hoard the vessel they are endeavouring to rescue from de struction—being themselves in want of assistance, thereby occasion ing a loss of much valuable time, and in all probability the lives of the unfortunate beings they are endeavouring to rescue front an untimely fate. The Life-Boat, or English Catamaran, invented by , W. Williams, being composed of sheet iron, and of very light con struction is capable of layin g w ithi n f our po i nts o f the windand withstanding all weathers, and able to beat to windward in the heaviest gale that can possibly occur (when no other boat now in use can venture out,) and cannot by any accident capsize either by stress of weather or in a heavy surf, and will go through the water with double the speed of any other Life-Boat now in use, in all weathers ; with only four men to massage her, and two lug sails, and will be capable of remaining longer out, and would be the means (under Divine Providence) of saving snore lives than any other kind of boat yet invented ; and can be made to save at each trip a ship's company, consisting of 100 souls without the least risk, as may be seen by the model, and more fully explained by the In ventor, and can take all the crew and passengers from the wreck at from 60 to 100 yards distance with the greatest facility, and without the least danger, not having occasion to go alongside should the vessel be on the rocks or any dangerous situation where other boats dare lot approach. This Lite-Boat of W. Williams's invention can be made to take to pieces on put together by the carpenter of any vessel in thirty minutes, and stowed away at hand, and most part of her can be made available for the ship's use. All vessels going abroad with passengers or engaged in the Green land Fishery, ought to be provided 'nab a boat of the above descrip tion for the preservation of life in case of accident as it will answer as well on the ice as on the water, and all daitTeMirfratts brnur own coast as well as that of other countries, ought to be provided with one of theselboats. They can be made to any dimensions, according to the number of passengers and crew, or the service for which they are intended ; and are particularly well adapted for the service of landing troops in heavy surfs or shallow water, drawing less than any of the flat-bottomed boats now in use. The only object the Inventor has in view, is the benefit of his fellow-creatures, and he requires no compensation for his loss of time or trouble, but that a subscription might be raised for the purpose of building a "working" model under his inspection, it being out of the power of the Inventor, for want of the necessary funds, to accom plish so desirable an object. The Inventor, therefore, most respect fully solicits the aid and patronage of all those who feel interested in the preservation of the lives of their fellow-creatures, and that the funds so raised may be placed in the hands of some responsible person to be applied for the express purpose above specified ; and when finished, and fit for trial, W. Williams will be prepared at once to test his invention by putting off to sea in any gale or weather, either by night or day, so as fully to establish the proof of her superiority over all the other life-boats now in use. N.B. Any person desirous of inspecting the Inventor's Model, will be readily waited on by him, either in town or country. W. Williams, at Mr. I) aim's, College House, Colvill-terrace, King's-road, Chelsea. rrHE GREAT BELL OF . ST. PAUL'S will strike ONE on the Bth of FEBRUARY. NICOLL'S PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, is patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, &e., and is generally acknowledged to excel all other great coats. The cloth Is made of Llama Wool, knowu to be porous, yet naturally repellant of rain. In the neighbourhood of the extensive Warerooms, 114, Regent street, a few small shops are so far unprincipled as to assume a similarity of name, Intending to impose upon strangers some trashy substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus to caution the public, aid to suggest that a copy of the Address be preserved ; and they further offer a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the detection of a Positive Infringement. Black Llama Cloth, front its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for Evening Dress Coats —to be had only of the Patentees. Each correct registered I'aletot is stamped in the lining "K. J. and D. Nicoll, 1 14, Regent-street, London."

Explain yourself, I pray How is it that you're acting, Sir, in this uncommon way? It seems that you've dismiss's" "Jack Frost" (that chilly little fellow), And the only thing we hear of you is now and then a " bellow." No frozen water-drops are seen, wherever we may range, No snowy show'rs are seen to fall—'tis, really very strange. How is it, Father Winter? Explain yourself, I pray ! How is it that you're acting, Sir, in this uncommon way. THE REPLY. I'll tell you how it is, nay friend : The winter dress of MOSES Has made me shrink from an attempt at biting off your noses. With winter articles like these, 'twould be of little use To try to chill you with my cold, or fright with my abuse. While Messrs. MOSES have the power to wrap you up so warm, You'll only mock my icy hand, and ridicule my storm. But do not take advantage, pray, because I'm so remiss, And cast aside your winter dress at such a time as this. For, if I take it in my head, as I very likely may, I'll show you that the Winter King can " come another day." You'd better stick to MOSES' coats, whilst they will stick to you, And, when you find them rather old, you'd better purchase new. Unless you act on this advice (which I would not withhold), Depend upon't, you'll have to say—" Oh, dear ; it's very cold!" LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE. J 3 I. it. Beaver Taglionis .......

From the statement laid before the meeting, it ap peared that the amount at the debit of the cash account, arising from deposits of 11. 10s. per share and interest, was 8,878 L 9s. 11d. The disbursements made were for petty cash, 1,2801. 7s. Bd.; for legal expenses, 7581. 115 s. 2d. ; for engineering and parliamentary expenses, 2,375/. 7s. 6d., and for salaries 4091. 10s. ; leaving a balance on hand of 4,0651.65. 7d. The report stated that the object of the Company was to lay down a line of railway from Waterloo-bridge to Greenwich, by Kennington, Cam berwell, and Peckham, a distance almost of five miles, through a district which was almost a dead level, and where ground was not valuable ; that the Company had started with fair hopes of success, anticipating always amalgamation with some of the lines south of the Thames, and with this view had kept their arrangements open, but hitherto without success, although one of the ex isting Companies had been approached, and they were still on terms with others ; that the provisional commit tee recommend amalgamation with some other existing lines, or remaining till the return of another session of Parliament ; or breaking up at once and dividing the funds. After the conclusion of the report, several proprietors found fault with the large outlay stated, viewed in refer ence to the amount of deposits, which some thought was not prudently provided against by allotting so small a number of shares. Mr. KEMP then moved that the report be received, and that the Company should continue till the result of the negotiations with the existing lines, and the report of Sir Robert Peel's committee should be known. It was moved as an amendment by Mr. LAFORREST, atd seconded by Mr. ANGELO SOLARI, that the Company be dissolved. The amendment haying been put by the chairman, was carried by 15 against 3. The meeting then broke up. G A R p E u bAI meeting N O o R f T h e n share A ho N ide D rs (ca S ll O ed U by T t H he WALES AND WORCESTER RAILWAY. directors) in the above line, was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. In consequence of the determined opposition offered by the scripholders to the further call of 1/., made by the managing committee, and the publicity g i ven to that opposition through the medium of the public prints, a vast number of the shareholders and others interested assembled, but, owing to the confined space, they after wards, after considerable altercation, adjourned to the largest room. After considerable confusion, during wl.ich motions without number (some of them for an adjournment to another day) were made, and allowed to fall to the ground, Mr. John Francis Bacon was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that before reading the report he thought it necessary to say a few words to the meet ing. The managing committee had been subjected to some odium because they had not, before that period, called a meeting of the shareholders. They had in tended to have done so in December last, but the en gineer's report had not been made out, the traffic returns had not been received, and no intimation of the Government's intention with respect to rail ways had been given to the country. They had had these now, and this was the first opportunity of calling the shareholders together. He should now, with the leave of the meeting, read the report prepared by the directors. The CHAIRMAN then read the report, of which the following is an abstract:—The Company was formed in May and June, 184.5, after considerable trouble and ex pense to the promoters. The maximum of capital was to be 2,000,000/. in 100,000 shares of 20L each. Soon after the committee had extensively issued their pro spectuses, the House of Commons ordered that all new lines should deposit 10 per cent. instead of 5, as for merly. The House of Lords, also, ordered that a depo sit of 10 per cent, should be demanded from all railways. The engineer's report being favourable, it was deemed advisable to prepare plans and sections for Parliament. They did deposit these plans and sections ; they had upwards of 5,800 letters of application, which had been fully investigated. They subsequently determined to reduce the 100,000 shares to 75,000, and, after retain ing a proportion for the members of the committee, they allotted to the public 68,911 shares, and out of that num ber 68,141 had had deposits paid on them. Although the shares were for a considerable time selling at a pre mium, not one of the members of the provisional com mittee had asked or received any further allotment than the shares he had at first requested, and in any one case those shares did not exceed 100. Overtures had been made by the Manchester and Milford-haven Company, which had, however, fallen to the ground, as that Com pany were not in a condition to go to Parliament. They were afterwards induced• to alter the original line, and that involved an increased expense of 57,0001. This was not the fault of the engineer, for by the odposition of the Earl of Lisburn, they were obliged to make a tunnel 5,000 yards (as we understood) in length. At present, the Company, after paying the accounts which had been sent into them, bad a balance in their rationed - 49,992i. 0s: sd. Among the items of expenditure was about 9,0001 to the engineer, of which 5,9001. was paid.— (Shame.) The reading of the solicitor's account, amounting to nearly 6,0001., 2,8001. of which was paid, was also received with disapprobation. Mr. FULLER moved the adoption of the report, and that the further call of 1/. should not be made until after the second reading of their Bill in the House of Commons. Mr. WILLIAMS, in a long address, full of detailed statistics, exhibiting the expected traffic on the line, seconded the resolution. Mr. HOPGOOD said, that on looking over the account, he could not conceal from himself that the direction which could sanction such an expenditure were not en titled to the confidence of the shareholders. They had an engineer whose expenses amounted to 9,0001., and a solicitor's of 6,0001, and the sooner inquiry was made into every circumstance connected with the line the better. Mr. COITRTENAY rose, and said that he was forced to address the meeting, and he did so in consequence of the discourteous manner in which the proceedings had been conducted on the part of the committee of manage ment; but now he had once embarked with the others, he was determined never to stop until he obtained some solution of the affairs of this Company. He had several questions to ask before he proposed the resolution which he intended that day to submit to the meeting. In the first place, he found the names of eighty-eight indi viduals inserted in the prospectus as promoters, and out of that number seventy-one resided in the country through which the line was to pass. He should like to know how many of those promoters had taken shares, and to what amount?—(Cheers.) The gentleman who had just sat down said that he lived two miles away from the line. He (Mr. Courtenay) wanted to know what had been done for the line by those gentlemen whose lands were to be benefited by it? He would ask the chairman how many of the promoters had shares? The CHAIRMAN said that such a question was not customary.—(Cries of " Yes, it is; yes, it is." " Where is the secretary?") Mr. COURTENAY remonstrated against the disturb ance. The CHAIRMAN sai.dd thathe o f u i t l dtnhoet should the promoters were holders.

Mr. BUSH said that he knew that several of the pro moters aa dd gentlemen takent, h a n y through recommended sh a r e s,w bankers in the districts through whieh the line was to pass had taken shares to the number of 1300 altogether, and had paid the second calls. Mr. COURTENAY said they had a right to more de tailed information than a general assertion could convey. Ide knew from experience that the names of gentlemen were often inserted in railway prospectuses without their consent. First and foremost on the prospectus of this railway was the name of Sir John Conroy. He had written to Sir J. Conroy to ask whether his name was down with his consent, but he had received no answer. —(Shame, shame.) The second question he would ask was, whether the promoters were the holders of original shares, and whether Sir John's name was inserted with his consent ? The CHAIRMAN said that he was in possession of the written consent of every gentleman whose name was down. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. COURTENAY said he was sorry that they were afraid to aver their consent. The CHAIRMAN said that they would not aver it to. Mr. Courtenay. A SHAREHOLDER asked if Mr. Courtenay ever ex pected an answer ? Mr. COURTENAY said that he certainly did. Sir John Conroy should not lend his name to this public work, if he would not stand by and avouch it. How many shares did Sir John Conroy hold ? The CHAIRMAN said he could not say.—(Hisses and groans, and a cry for the books and deeds.) Mr. COURTENAY asked to be informed of the names of the Provisional Management, the dates of thei.i;naeppw s appoint' ment, the number of their shares, and the „ was? they made their payments and signed the ori gi nal —(Bravo, bravo ; we'll have no s hufti g) ) ok at the The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Courtenay,4sen:ct'foilrit.l° deed when he liked.—(A cry I T., o ther questions, pro- Mr. COURTEWAY, after ~ta t a Committee of share posed as a resolution , a a Sub-committee to inspect the a l lowed i act h o e m a accounts p vouchers e s roslfiatenh and the felt C oamsps assured attendance r n e y d , at that bhoooldkesr,stboeex a m ine t eh ead s hould d der to make a report as to the prospect that they would help him i toobff:tchleerkasiirns shareholders n carrying oak this a ,, re .—(Brave, bravo.) n3 Mr. JUSTIN S o e f co t nd e ed the resolution, and said tti at the directors were not their masters but their serwants— they had no control over the shareholders.

One of the directors entered into an explanation of his own motives in joining the Company. His statement was loudly cheered.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AND LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, HALF-PAST THREE O'CL —This morning, at about a quarter to twelve, a large corn warehouse, the prot'erty of Mr. John Tipping, and occupied by Messrs. Steele and Co., corn-merchants, suddenly fell with a tremendous crash, burying a num ber of men who were at work in the building in the ruins. Fortunately, the greater portion of the men were at the north end of the building, which did not fall im m, diately, and they escaped by jumping from the third story into the street. Eight or ten are yet missing. It appears from the statement of one that escaped that he heard a tremendous noise, and looking up he saw the beams brelking, and the south end of the building fall. He turned hastily round, more dead than alive with fear, and jumped headlong into the street. The street into which the ruins fell is completely choked, and as it had been all the morning crowed with teams and waggons employed in the corn trade, it is exceedingly probable that some of them have been destroyed. Indeed, it is currently reported and believed, that a cart with two horses and two men who were unloading there a short time before are beneath the immense pile of ruins. " The Mayor, Mr. Dowling, Mr. S. Holme, a first rate practical enginer, and a strong body of police were quickly on the spot ; gangs of men have been set to work, and they are now actively engaged in searching for the bodies of those who it is feared are killed ; but as they were in the lower stories they have not yet reached them. " The building, which was very old, seems to have been very badly constructed, and to have been held up by those on either side. It was seven stories high, and heavily loaded with wheat, barley, peas, and barrels of American flour. " An excavation has just been commenced to reach the underground story, where, it is believed, several men were at work. " The devoted building was situated in Moor-street, near St. George's Church, in a very narrow thorough fare, and a more complete wreck was never witnessed. The front wall fell witk great force against the salt fish warehouse of Mr. Mendsell, but fortunately did no damage beyond breaking ail the windows, and covering every article within ite walls with dust and flour. A gentleman who was writing near one of the windows had a very narrow escape. _ _ " At this moment, as I am closing the parcel for the express train, the body of one of the workmen has been dug out in a dreadfully mangled state. The workmen are redoubling their exertions, and great excitement prevails, as it is anticipated others are near at hand." THE BRITTON TESTIMONIAL. We stated some time ago that, at the suggestion of Mr. Britton, the amount subscribed was to be expended in obtaining (by competition) and printing, an essay on the study of archaeological literature. This, however, being strongly objected to, was afterwards abandoned. In the course of a correspondence on the subject, Mr. Dawson Turner suggested, that instead of an archmolo gical essay, it should be a full history of Mr. Britton's life, as exemplified by his works. In a letter to Mr. Britton, he remarked : 1 "In such an essay you would s p eak of the events of you d ia3ed patrons, , now most of ; of the emi nent persons you were br ou g ht in tho wa y of, and of yourthem i d i e fe j ; of of your tlie artists friends employed the difficulties, pleasures, and annoyances that attended, soothed, and embittered your career ; and you would intersperse the narrative with a thousand anecdotes. You may thus make a charming book of materials that would otherwise perish with you, and would do invalu able good in your generation by the example you would hold out." The committee concurring in this view- Mr. Britton undertook to devote his leisure to the preparation of such a work, and to expend the amount of the subscrip tions in its printing and embellishment. It will be accompanied by an engraved portrait of the author by Mr. C.E.Wagstaff, from a beautiful picture ex pressly executed for the purpose by Mr. John Wood, an d a selection of the engravings which have illustrated Mr. Britton's works will be appended, in order to elucidate the general style of their embel lishments. It will bo printed in royal octavo ; an d a few copies in demy quarto will be prepared for the subscribers of 3/. and upwards. Copies in imperial quarto will be presented to distinguished individuals, and to the national libraries of Eng land, Fr ance, Pr u ssi a, ' &C.—The Builder HERRING TRADE.—We have this week seen one of our Leith traders nearly laden with white herrings for Leith, to be sent by rail to Glasgow, and t hence across the Channel, by steam, to Belfast. Last week a fleet of mor e than fifty , sail left the Orkney Islands, many' of them herring laden, having been detained at Stromness, St. Margaret's hope, and Longhope, since October last, to the serious loss of the owners of ships and cargoes. Several Wick c urers, who ha v e herring stores in Ireland, have not had a single barrel to supply their customers with for w eeks p ast, an d they would gladly have resorted to any ready means o f conveyance, if within their reach, at even a considerabs,e advance in charge. We have had herring lade n vessels fr om this port, ere now, lying six months in the Orkne y Isl ands, waiting fair winds, and having. in consequence, lost the chance of sales for'a year ; and the shippers netting, in the following season, the price of the empty barrel for the barrel of fish, or about one-sixth its value.—John o' Groat Journal, Earl Graham, the infant sun of the Duke and Duchess of Montrcse, expired on Saturday. MECHTS SYSTEM of TRADE is to warrant every article of his manufacture, exchange what is defective, or return the money if required, so that his customers may feel perfect confidence, and have what suits them:best. He is desirous of having it well understood that, although his establishment presents a large and well arranged stock of rich and elegant manufactures, still the ordinary articles of utility may be purchased of him cheaper than elsewhere. For instance, the best single-bladed penknives at Is. each are warranted ; good scissors at the same price ; excellent tooth brushes 6d. each, and the best silver wire and solid back at 9d. each ; good plain mahogany writing-desks, I2s. each ; work-boxes at all prices ; six well finished table knives and forks fur ss. Gd. ; Britaunia metal tea and coffee pots, plated on steel and German silver articles, all reasonable and good. It may be well to state that there are plenty of persons in the trade who have imitated articles of Mechi's sole invention without being candid enough to acknow ledge it, such as his patent castellated tooth brushes, his Mechian dressing-case, his magic strop and paste, and so on. Mechi thinks it no more than just to remind his customers of this fact, and to guard them against purchasing as his articles, purporting :to be what they are not, although dearer in price and inferior in quality. catalogdes may be had gratis: 4, Leadeihall-street, London, January 29, 1846.

Martin, requires, we are informed, a great many more alterations than at first seemed necessary, espe cially below. Her stowage-room is so very limited that she can carry but little more than two months' bread for her complement. It appears exceedingly strange that a frigate with the hull of a line-of-battle ship (the Tre mendous, 74) should be so very deficient in stowage; but such appears to be the fact, as the Grampus cannot carry enough provisions for her complement of 500, nor stow the usual quantity of ammunition carried in a 50- gun frigate. We endeavour to account for this seem ing great inefficiency thus:—The 74's of the class of the Tremendous were only calculated to carry a sea going complement of 600 men and officers. Our 50-gun fri gates of the present day have complements varying from 4.:0 to 500, officers and men—thus, the old 74 carriel and provided for but 100 more men upon the average , than the present 50. Line-of-battle ships have the lower gun-deck allotted to the crew to mess, sleep, and stow their luggage upon, the orlop-deck being used for stowage as well as the hold ; whereas, in frigates, the orlop-deck is appropriated as the mess-deck, and the stowage is confined to the hold alone the main-deck being kept continually clear, as if ready for action, similar to the upper deck in a line-of-battle ship. This is the way we account for vessels razeed from line-of battle ships to frigates being so limited in their stowage. The Eagle, 50 (also a razee), which took out Admiral Inglefield to the River Plate, was similarly ill-condi tioned for stowage, and was unable to provide her crew with proper sleeping-room. The Grampus draws 22 feet aft ; but, however defective she may be at present, we do not anticipate that she will turn out a bad invest ment for the money expended upon her in fitting her as a frigate after having been most recklessly condemned as a 74. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander W. Prettyman, left yesterday morning before day light for Plymouth, with supernumerary boys from the Victory for the ships fitting at that port. The Aid naval lighter, Smallman master, sailed on Wednesday with victualling stores for Sheerness and the other eastern yards. The Emerald tender, Master-Commander Beach, sailed on Wednesday with supernumerary seamen for the Electra, Scout, &c., fitting at Chatham and Sheer ness. The Falmouth navy lighter, Tozer master, sailed on Wednesday with Government - stores for the eastward depots. To-day the tide has risen to an extraordinary height at this port, inundating all the lower part of the town and doing much damage to warehoused property. From the Point beach nearly up to Capstan-square the water was deep enough to swim an ordinary wherry; at high-water the waves dashed over the ramparts and rendered the usual approaches impassable; the landing-place on this side of the Floating-bridge was rendered unavailable by the water, the sea making a clean inroad through the avenues into Bath-square and Broad-street. The lower parts of the town of Portsea and the suburb of Southsea were also similarly inundated. On the Gosport shore the effects of the high tide were similarly destructive. The tide of to-day has been considerably higher than the one with which we were visited during the recent sojourn of the King of the French. The Drake and Lively naval lighters arrived yester day, the former from Devonport, and the latter from the eastward, with Government stores. CHATHAM, JAN. 30.—The Raleigh, 50 guns, fitting for an advanced ship, was put out of the fourth dock on Tuesday, the 27th instant, when she was taken along • side the shear hulk, and had her masts and bowsprit put on board, and was taken into the third dock on the 29th, for her completion in all her fitments. The Calypso, 20 guns, Captain Henry Worth, came into dock on the 27th instant, and has received an addi tional false keel of six inches, and also to her gripe ; and her copper bottom having been cleaned, she was put out of dock on Thursday, the 29th ; she will be com pleted by the dockyard to-morrow. She is expected to receive her guns, powder, and stores on Monday next. She requires about fifty hands to complete her strength. The Cumberland, 70 guns, having been fitted for an advanced ship, was put out of dock on Wednesday last, and placed in ordinary until her service is required. The Columbine, 16 guns, was taken into dock this day to have her defects made good, and to be prepared for commission; she is one of Sir W. Symonds', and was built at Portsmouth in 1826. The Rochester lighter—Richard Sudweeks, the mate of this vessel, has been appointed master, vice Mr. Richard Grandy, appointed master of the Fortitude coal depot. The vessel is loading with naval stores fur Portsmouth yard. The Duck lighter, J. Savage master, is loading for Woolwich yard. The Teazer steam-vessel, building, is to be completed for launching with all dispatch; several additional hands have, therefore, been put on her. The Peril, 18 guns, in ordinary.—A fatal accident occurred to a lad named Swail, who fell overboard and was drowned. The lad was not missed until his cap was seen floating near the ship. Drags were instantly ap plied, but the body could not be found. SHEERNESS, JAN. 29.—The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Commander J. Stephens, sailed for Hull and North Yar mouth on Saturday, for the purpose of bringing round any seamen who may have entered at the rendezvous established at those ports. The African, port steamer, Second Master Barker, proceeded to Woolwich on Monday, to have certain de fects in her machinery made good. The Duck lighter has proceeded to Chatham with naval stores. The Sampson steam frigate, Captain Thomas Hender son, has taken on board 150 tons of coals, intending to fill up at Portsmouth. She is now having her com passes adjusted i❑ the harbour, and will go to the Nore to take in her powder and be inspected by the Com mander-in-Chief on Saturday, after which she will pro ceed to Spithead to be paid advance wages. The Viper, 4, schooner, Lieutenant Edward Gray, is nearly complete in her fittings, and will leave the basin to-morrow. She has already bent sails, and is now hav ing her armament fitted, which consists of two 18- pounders, 5i feet long, 15 cwt. each ; and two 12- pounder carronades. It was intended to have mounted a long gun forward, but there was no room for one. The Fury steam-sloop is being jury-rigged with all despatch, upwards of 100 men from the Ocean being busily employed on her. The Sampson will take her in tow as far as Portsmouth, en route to Liverpool. The Electra, 18, Commander Hall, and the Snake, 16, Commander Brown, progress slowly with their fittings in the basin. Both have got the tops over their mast heads, and the few seamen that have entered with the detachments of marines who joined on Friday from the Chatham division are proceeding with th• lower rigging. The Wildfire steam tender continues refitting in the basin, and the Tartarus steam-surveying vessel in dock. The Dido, 20, Ferret, 10, and Griffon, 6, are also still in dock under repair. The Ferret is nearly ready, and will probably be commissioned in the course of next week. In accordance with an Admiralty order, a report has been made to their Lordships of the state and condition of the heavy frigates in this ordinary, viz., the Chichester and Worcester (new), and the Cornwall and Conquestador (razees), 50-gun frigates, and the probable time it would take to fit each of them for commission. Ships in Harbour.—Trafalgar, 120, flag-ship ; Ocean, 80, ordinary ship ; and Sampson, steam frigate. WooLwicnr, JAN. 30.—The Onyx, steam-vessel, brought down the river from Ditchburn and Mare's, has had Lieutenant Mudge, the officers and crew of the Ariel steam-vessel, transferred to her, and left Woolwich yes terday for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted previous to proceeding to be employed as a packet-vessel on the Dover station. The African steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich from Chatham, to have her defects made good. The Monkey steam•vessel, Master Commander Wm. Bryant, left Woolwich yesterday for Portsmouth, with a large steam-vessel's funnel for practice, from the Excel lent, gunnery-ship at that port. The Manosuvrer arrived at Woolwich yesterday, from Chatham. The Harpy, Lieutenant Commander H. B. Procter, left Woolwich this morning for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to Devonport. She is expected to proceed with the least possible delay to South America, for service in the River Plate. The Gladiator and Terrible steam-vessels will not be completed before the middle of next month. The Princess Alice steam-vessel, Master Commander L. Suaithett, will leave Woolwich for Dover early next week. theH Hen r y yyWoolwichavl r t g h e n e e command a d n d fifty oof Lieutenant privates morn ing at nine o'clock for a passage to Blackwall, alo a , r i e dn m ievs b i. a sT r o k Tn e d wuo a n t ds ß eer o ff's-wharf on Friday en route to Chatham, until , the new barracks in progress of construction at Woolwich are completed. The re moval of these troops took place to make room for the recruits daily pouring in from all parts of the country, orders having been issued to the recruiting parties of the four divisions of Royal Marines to send all recruits to head•quarters, at Woolwich. A large model of a por tion of a ship-of-war is in progress of construction at the rear of the new Marine Barracks, at Woolwich, to exercise the men with large ship-guns, four of which ar e mounted on each aide of the model. Sergeant- Major Cooper, of the Woolwich division, was presented with a silver medal and a gratuity of 151., and Private Martin, a silver medal and a gratuity of 51. , for good conduct, on Friday last. They were presented with the medals, in presence of the non-commissioned officers and men of the divisions on the guard mounting parade at ten o'clock a.m. [ADYERTISNMENT.]—The Earl of Aldborough and Holloway's Pills.—An astounding Cure by this miraculous Medicine after every other means had failed.

NAVAL GUNNERY. (From the Nautical Standard.) The gunnery establishment on board the Excellent, in Portsmouth Harbour, is regarded by many of our most intelligent naval men as one of very great importance to their service, and in this we perfectly agree with them, bnt it were well had the introduction of the new system not interfered with the maintenance, in due strength, of the Royal Marine Artillery—a well-trained and most useful corps—to whose real value the eyes of those in authority have once more been opened. The reduction of this corps was a blunder. Its recent augmentation is a step in the right direction. The usefulness of such a force is not exceeded by that of any other corps in the service. Afloat —and more particularly in steam and mortar vessels—there can be no better gunners. Accus. tomed to the sea, they feel as much at home there in the use of the great gun in all fighting weather, as any men in the navy, and they have the advanta , e of being better disciplined than the sailors. Again, on shore, the marine artilleryman is in n o respect, of eadiness practice, or ge neral efficiency, inf er i or to the MPH of that' distinguished corps, the Royal Artillery. At his gun, either on land or at sea, there can b e no b etter man than him. But we have not yet menti one d an advantage which the marine artillery man p ossesses over the seaman gunner, and which we consider so important in the present posture of affairs, that our chief object in pen ning this article is to call attention to it. The marine artilleryman is enlisted for twenty-one years' sea- service. Whatever cost the country may be at to train him, she is sure of his service for his best days. When his training is completed she knows that she has in him a most effective, well-taught, and brave combatant ; and that she can rely upon retaining his services whilst the prime of life continues. She knows that in training him she has not been at the charge and pains of instructing a man who, after his next three or four years' service, may transfer himself and the knowledge she has taught him, into the gunnery force of a most jealous and unfriendly nation; there not only to turn his hand against her, but to teach his new fellows all that he learned from her, and thus bestow on a foreign power, according to his ability, the benefit of that system, which, to maintain, his own land has borne the (in such instances) profitless cost. Now with the seaman - gunner the case is widely different. At a considerable cost to the country he learns the management of a ship's guns. Grant that his training is perfect, and his usefulness afloat undeniable. He is sent a finished gunner to a sea-going man-of-war. His officers are glad to have a man so well taught and so serviceable in the day of battle. He serves his term of three or four years. The ship is paid off. What becomes of this man whom his country has been at the expense and trouble to teach and train? Can she compel him more than any other man to re-enter her service? Again, in the hour of need, to take his place at the ship's battery, and on the gun-deck show how England trains her sons for the battle? No. His training on board the Excellent has net un taught him the frequent waywardness and caprice of a sailor. Jack, gunner, or no gunner, is ever as incon stant and unsteady, except when an enemy is actually before him, as the fickle element on which he sails. He may just take it into his head quietly to cut the Queen's service, for it start at least, and make his next voyage in some merchantman, American or America bound. His third change will as probably be to the first Yankee frigate he may fall in with. Ile will find her with plenty of hands to make the work light, and himself in the receipt of increased pay, and with a ship's company, the best part of whom have no more right to hail for the States than he has. In return for all these advantages he will do his part toward teaching his new shipmat es h ow to defend the red striped flag ; and the republic will thank the rulers who send her such smart rods w h erew ith to whip th e Queen's Brit ishers. An American, not long ago, hearing an English naval officer boasting of the system on board the Excellent, replied, "Oh ! you mean our Excellent ! Yes, we get some famous gunners from her. We do ad-mire that system, and we hope you'll stick to it." Now, we ask, does England act wisely in maintaining the present system of providing gunners for her fleets, and sharing them with America ? Because we feel con vinced of the excellence of such corps as the marine artillery, we do not, therefore, say that there should be no regular seamen gunners. We most readily admit the usefulness of these men. We are not ignorant of the alertness of their exercise, and the correctness of their practice with the sturdy thirty-two. We can well appreciate their services. But for this very reason do we the more firmly find fault with the present uncertainty of retaining them for a sufficient term—for a term far exceeding the usual duration of a ship's commission. Surely it cannot he a proper expendi ture of any part of_the sums .granted fur the fortuatiOni and maintenance of a great naval force, .to bestow it on the instruction of a body of men upon whose services we can reckon for only a very short term, and who, if this year ours, may be an enemy's the next. Surely it can not be wise, after carefully training a combatant, not only to neglect to secure his services, but actually to leave it in his power to employ the skill and knowledge acquired at our expense, in teaching still further to our cost the warriors, and in defending the flag, of a hostile nation. At this moment England is menaced by the President at least, of the United States. lie has very plainly threatened to take possession of a territory to which we assert a right equal, if not superior, to that of his own nation. This may be a threat, and nothing more. We sincerely desire that such it may eventually be found— not that we lack confidence iu England s might—not that we fear that the event of the war would tarnish the well-won fame of her gallant sons, or that victory will at length desert the flag that " for a thousand years has braved the battle and the breeze," but that we wish not for any glory, or any triumph, bought at the price of war's misery and man's blood. We do not wish for war. Still the chances of an open rupture with the States, it cannot be denied, are greater now than they have been for many years. It is, therefore, most reasonable that, while we do all that we honourably can to avoid hostili ties, we neglect no measures of precaution or prepara tion. The more complete these are, and the fewer the advantages we leave within an adversary's reach, the more will we lessen his desire to assail us, and should he, nevertheless, indulge it, the more rapid will be our pro gress in bringing him to his senses, and teaching him once more to value the blessings of peace. Taking this view of the matter, we would wish at once to throw every obstacle in the way of his slyly benefitting by any naval institutions maintained at our sole charge and trouble. Taking this view, we cannot think it prudent to allow our seamen gunners to abandon our service for that of the States whenever it may please them. It may be said that there are difficulties in the way of altering the present system of entering these men. Be it so. There are difficulties to encounter in almost every change of system in a country such as ours ; but shall we, therefore, be deterred from every reasonable reform ? Now, in the face of all difficulties, we venture to assert that the interests of the country require that the short-service system cease, and that all men entering for instruction as gunners on board the Excellent be en listed for unlimited service, as the men of the marine artillery, or at least for a term of fourteen or fifteen years. Whenever their ships are paid ofl; let them have a reasonable term of leave, and let them return to quar ters at Portsmouth, until their services in sea-going ships shall be again required. In Portsmouth they can be usefully employed during such intervals. Upon this system they will learn to identify themselves more closely with the royal service ; they will acquire more eFsrt habits of discipline ; their health and stamina will be better preserved ; and the country may make certain , which she now cannot, of an adequate return for the charge and trouble of their training and i nstruct i on. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 30.—There has been no apparent change in the foreign Wool market since our last report. Sales to about the same extent have been effected, and prices continue steady. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, .LEEDS, JAN. 30.—. we have not any variation to report in this branch of tra d e this week. Prices are stationary. LEEDS.—Our cloth markets, both on Saturday and Tuesday, were very dull, both buyers and sellers being in a complete state of suspense as to what the measure of the Government . would be for the settlement of the part H E o c f x t i : o e Nwnewe thBeLINKETIAniET, great question at issue. We have no doubt that con- IKE fidence will be restored by the developement of the plan of the Ministry . . Prices continue pretty firm, and stocks moderate. Business has been rather brisk the latter warehouses, c hiefly in purch ases for shipping. There has been more business done this week. Both Monday and to-day's market were well attended, and a few orders put out for the American trade. The home trade is only fiat owing to the mildness of the season. BRADFORD, TatrasDAT.—There has been more JAN. in quiry 29.-- There for combing wools, but we do not hear of more business being done ; the prices sought have been a barrier to more extended operations. Short wool and noils are sought after, without alteration in prices. The demand for yarns is steadily increasing, and the stock in the manufacturers' bands generally small. This augurs well for an early amendment, which we hope will not only extend to increased consumption, but also improved prices. There is some inquiry made by the shippers, and we hope ere long to report general activity. The measures introduced by Sir Robert Peel appear to be generally well received, and tend to inspire confidence that ere long we shall be again in prosperity. .The I business doing is fully equ a l to thi s season , an d prices firm. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had rather more doing to-day than of late in all kinds of cloth; there is evidently more confidence, as well as a stronger disposition to do business than on this day week. We cannot rate prices higher, but the market closes rather buoyant than otherwise. Yarns are ready sale and fully as dear. BRISTOL SUG_4I2.-MARKET, JAN. SO.—The doubts and uncertainty existing respecting the q uestion of duties pre vented any business being done before yesterday, when the measures of the Minister in this respect became known • the market has since been firm, but the business has not exceeded 100 hbds., chiefly for want of a better assortment. Refined goods are held with firmness. Brandy has advanced 25 per cent —Bristol litercury. 1 NM ,~~ '.' i f .;:sk
