He tauntingly challenged the opponents whose principles he had professedly adopted, to prove the sincerity of the regard which they profess for the interests of the consumer. No Free-trader will hesitate to respond to the appeal whenever a practical opportunity for carrying out his principles is afforded. The only question is, how consump tion is to be most effectually relieved, and what relative "priority is to be given to the rival classes of consumers. A collector may have a genuine love for art, without being eager to purchase the first picture that comes in his way. With limited funds at his- disposal, he necessarily exercises the right of choice : and he is particularly careful to suspend his judgment when an offer is made by a dealer whose motives are more than questionable. Before Mr. Disraeli had fairly concluded his appeal to the friends of the consumer, he turned round to demand in a more conciliatory tone, the grati tude of the malt-producer. It is not o therefore, solely to make malt cheaper that the tax is to be reduced, but likewise —so, at least, the Chancellor of the Exchequer wishes the agriculturists to be lieve—to make barley dearer. The framer of the Budget has perhaps no definite opinion as to the proportions in which the farmer and the beer drinker are to divide the spoils of the Exchequer. In suggesting an objectionable motive for his pre ference of the malt duty to other indirect taxes which might have been reduced or repealed, Mr. Disraeli justifies unbiassed observers jut least suspending their judgment in favour of a selection which, by his own admission, is not impartial. On the expediency of the measure a decision can only be formed after- full consideration, both of the alternative schemes which might have been de vised, and of the accompanying arrangements of the Budget. Grave objections exist both to the details of the plan for modifying the duty, and to the principles which are involved in the projected assessment of the income-tax. At present it seems doubtful whether any considerable portion of the Government scheme is likely to be ratified by Parliament.

Cl ' V I NCENT, 'Rlaintitl's Solicitor, 8, Staple-inn. We are glad to hear that some very fine se amen are daily coming forward for entry into the navy. Captain Goldsmith has almost manned his steam-fr igate, the Sidon, at Portsmouth ; and Captain Glasse b Las picked up a great many men for his steam-frigate, to e Vulture, at Devonport. If skilled seamen were paid wages in proportion to wages paid to'skilled mechanics, as they ought to be, there would be no difficulty in maL navy.

The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acinired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself ono of the few ega lt y qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and Un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ritimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cziea.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19. h Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in-the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I Wet no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I ob!ain to that cause. Moreover, I reioice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of C out and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic•dolo rcux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUM &TIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the lioase of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament. The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer tsh.ty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under. taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure means of investment. The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr. Bostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water Supply. Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when the purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be censtsnt and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su perseded. kW: ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by this Com pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the Surrey District, and the daily increase of buildings there, that the present undertaking will afford an immediate, sound, and steady investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di vidend, now allowe4 by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent.. will be speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by large consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily. After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed 1/. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three months.

FREE PORTS.—The seven principal ports of the Canary ISlando were opened as free porta on the 10th of October. (From the Tintes.); , After employing so many years of his life in at tacking the existing system of taxation, the Chan cellor of the Excheqner will be fully prepared to find his own scheme not universOy acceptable. Indeed, the best scheme in the world would come with ill grace from a Jnanso long identified with an unpopular policy. But a budget is always safe to be attacked—for, first, nobody likes paying taxes ; then everybody has his hobbies on the subject; and then there will always be, as there has been for the last seven years, and as there is now, a strong party resolved to upset the financier, if possible by fair means, if not, anyhow. These difficulties reach their climax when the said financier has attempted to do a great deal with a comparai l ively small sur plus, and has gone so far as to pillsose an actual re-adjustment of our burdens. • In that case, the most dispassionate people begin to *quire how they a are affected, and to strike balaie between the taxes to be laid on and those to be remitted Mr. Disraeli's - own friends will think themselves very hardly used if the first result of their political suc cess is that they have to pay more taxes ; and his a op t p hi o s ne h n a t n s d w s. ill ß b y e c s o till nse l n es t s o d f i a sp l i:) fi se na d to cie a rs cc , ept a loss so fair as an inhabited h ouse d .u ty l ; but R a t :l s t is considered that, under the proposed alteration, a 101. householder would have to pay 15s. as inha bited house-duty, and a 151. householder 11. 2s. 6d., it is easy to anticipate the op e to be encoun tered. This cuss, too, besid, •• • o Weal power; has a "Power of another, and not less serious sort— a power of nonpayment. Everybody knows how difficult it is to collect rates from small house holders. They are always in arrear—perpetually increasing beyond the hope of recovery. Law, par ticularly English law, avails but little where the stake is small. There is a proverb which tells us the utmost we may hope for when we take the law of a poor man. It is too vulgar for quotation, but the meaning is that we shall get what we would rather be without. This is the practical case of the 10/. householder in the question of finance, and, even if we try to evade the difficulty by allowing the landlord to commute for the taxes of histenants, as he already can for the rates, we only bring a new enemy into the field. But the difficulty is increased by the simultaneous extension of the income-tax to property at 501. a year and income at a 1001. In a treatise on taxation we certainly should expect to find two suchpropositions advocated together ; but in practice we should wish for, at least, a good interval. Abstractedly, no reason can be given why a man with an estate in land worth 1,5001., or with 50/. a year in the Three per Cents., or in. railway shares, should not pay income-tax as well as the country surgeon, or the curate, who just gets his 1501. a year, and contributes to the existing income-tax ? But, we repeat, justice is not always practicable in taxation. It is a question of expediency, of possi bility, of the strength of classes—of their strength to resist, as well as to bear—of their patience of their honour, and other moral peculiarities. Will it be possible to squeeze income out of merchants' clerks and small tradesmen of 100/. a year ? Hitherto we have admitted the justice of the pro posed extensions of taxes. As to another measure of the Budget, there seems to be a very general opinion, not of its injustice, but of its illegality. The nation has long decided a tax to the fund holder, notwithstanding the clause in the act of Parliament which seems to protect him ; but then it taxes the funds in common with all other proper ties and incomes. It lays no special duty on them. The Chancellor .of the. Exchequer seems to give up this very proper scruple when he extends the in come-tax, to Irish funds, but not to land in Ireland. Surely he will see reason to set this right by includ ing the Irish landlords in his scheme. There are proprietors receiving incomes of fabulous amount from the soil of Ireland in well-paid rents, and with very little trouble : why should they not be made to pay as well as the poor creatures who are to be mulcted for their 100/. or 501. a-year in this country ? This anomaly strikes one all the more, because it is found in a budget which aims at rigorous justice, to the disregard of serious practi cal considerations. It's only as a just budget that it can be expected to make its way ; but the Chan cellor of the Exchequer must come into court with clean hands. He must deal justice all round, with out any exception.. -Let him taw -the-Irtstrtaißr * owner, and then our small shopkeepers and clerks may perhaps submit to be shorn with the rest of the flock. What is more, they may be compelled to submit, however little they may like it ; for the removal of the Irish exemption -011 entitle the Chancellor of the Exchequer to all the support Parliament can give him for the purpose. (From the Morning Herald.) . , . We have now had time to learn, in a variety of ways, what is the public feeling with reference to the Budget. And we can say, with the utmost sincerity, that we should hold ourselves most guilty if we could present to the Ministry and its friends a false or flattering view of the popular feeling. Desiring, therefore, neither to delud3 ourselves or any one else, we have carefully Examined the opinions which have been presented to us ; and we report most faithfully the result of one day's search to have been—a large nuni ter of persons greatly pleased with the Chancellor et the Exche quer's plan ; one displeased w i t h i t is t oo favour able to the land, and unfavourable to the town population ; and One lamenting that the Minister had not repealed the whole of the raalt tax, aug menting the income-tax to supply the deficiency. Unless, therefore, we have happened to fall in with thirty or forty persons in the course of ten hours who gave an erroneous impression' of the public opinion, we hold that the question is decided. 4, The first day's poll," as far as we can Learn the result, is about 20 to 1 in favour of the Chancellor'. of the Exchequer. And we should arrive at the same conclusion from examining the various news papers. The d a ily journals of Saturday, even those which are most opposed to Mr. Disraeli, are com pelled, apparently, to admit the various merits of his scheme. The Daily News and Morning Adver tiser describe the plan to be of the boldest charac ter. The Morning Chronicle, the most inimical of all to Mr. Disraeli personally, is forced to be, for the moment, s ilent. As for the Times, it is in ex tasies with the whole scheme. Unless, therefore, some sudden light should break in upon the people, or some revolution take pl ace in their opinions, the budget of 1853 is already accepted. And, if ac cepted, it must be a source of strength and popu larity to the Government. For, observe the vari ous boons it confers on so may different classes. 1. The remission of lighthouse dues to the ship ping interest, a boon for whi c h two such Liberals as Sir J. Duke and Mr. Clay felt bound to express their instant gratitude. 2. Permission to the West Indian planters to refine sugar in bond—a concession equal to a dif ferential duty of is. 6d per cwt. , 3. The remission to the agriculturists of half the duty on malt, and of the war duty on hops. 4. The concession to all trades and professions of one-fourth of the present income tax paid by them. 5. The concession to the farmers and poorer clergy of a more just method of estimating their income tax. 6. The concession, to all classes, of more than one-half the duty on tea ; which Will reduce the price of good tea, in three or fou r years, to 3s. per lb . Assuredly there has been no budget since the days of " Prosperity Robinson," which has offered the people any concessions like these. Sir Robert Peel's tariff of 1842 was indeed a large measure but what a price was exacted for it in a property tax of five millions per annum ! Whereas all the countervailing element in Mr. Disraeli's budget is simply a raising the house tax 50 per cent., calcu lated to produce one million per annum. It seems, therefore, to us, as it seemed on Friday night, that this budget carries with it an assurance of success ; and that success is calculated to root deeply in popular opinion the whole system of the present Administration. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Mr. Disraeli commenced his long financial expo sition with a declaration of his desire to dispose, once for all, of every c l a i m to preferen ce or compen sation which could be urged on behalf of the so called suffering interests. Hereafter, he said, we shall be able to regard the community as a whole, and to confine our attention to the purely econo mical reasons which ought to influence fiscal legis lation : but let the weights be at this point re adjusted, that we may all start fairly. It is evident that the proposal to inaugurate the establishment of an impartial policy, by the concession of certain class privileges, tended to reopen the whole controversy the termination of which has been so repeatedly announced. The fair start took place when the removal of monopo lies left capital and industry free to exert their own energies. The abolition of those restrictions which main is only a potion of time and opportunity _ ,-4.. - (Front the Daily News.) When Lord Thurlow was informed that Sir John Scott, afterwards Lord Chancellor Eldon, had employed nine hours in opening the indict ment against Hardy—" By heaven, sir" he. ex claimed, " then there is no treason." Nine hours were not required to state facts—they were wanted chiefly for mystifying the jury ; and had our Chancellor not thought more of mystifying the public than that of explaining the facts of our financial condition and expounding the policy of the Cabinet, he would have been able to com press his speech into a fourth part of the time he occupied on Friday. For nearly one hour he dilated on the hardships of the shipping interests, on: prospective measures for its relief and pro spective committees of inquiry, leading possibly to some improvement in pilotage and ballasting, and to a relaxation of the old compulsory regulation to have three-fourths of every ship's crew her Ma jesty's subjects—all points comparatively small and quite foreign to the great theme he had in hand. For another hour he expatiated on what he did not mean to do for the West Indians and the English landowners, the sum of which was that they have no just ground of complaint :—yet, neverthe less, he means to permit sugar to be refined in bond, at a great expense to the revenue, without any ade quate advantage either to the refiner or the public, and proposes a reduction of the malt and hop duties, to relieve the suffering. agriculturists, who, as he showed, have been benefited, not injured, by recent legislation. The remainder of the five hours was oc cupied by the financial statement, and by sundry epi sodes on the condition of Ireland,—the defence of the country,—the advantage and necessity of keep ing up efficient establishments,—prospective admi nistrative reforms,--and on other topics that might distract attention and prevent the house from per ceiving how empty, meagre, unsatisfactory, vexa tious, and unjust are his long heralded financial projects. Small as is the actual pecuniary relief he proposes for the shipping interest—less than six pence per ton per annum—that sum appears in his estimates for the year 1853-4, and cannot reach the shipping before the middle of the n ensuing year ;„ "Miley, with the exception of salvage and the Admi ralty regulations, the other promised benefits await the inquiries of committees yet to be appointed, and of commissions not yet completed. Further, to help the shipping and promote unrestricted competition, he is to remit immediately a portion of the Tea duties, 4id. per pound, on which he expects the revenue will lose 400,0001. ; but he overwhelms that by proposing to inflict on us at once an additional House tax, which mill yield him I,loo,oool.—about three times •as much. The proposed reduction of the Hop duty will not take place till 1854, for all the Hop duty of 1853 will be due before October Ist of that year, and the Chancellor only includes the reduction on the revenue of 1854-5. Nominally, however, the re duction is to be made in conjunction with the re duction of the Malt Duty on October 1, 1853 ; and it is somewhat remarkable that the mal tsters, who have no more reason to complain than any other manu facturers, are to be encouraged to extend their operations by the promise of 1,000,0001. as draw back; while the hop growers, who do complain, are to receive no drawback and no relief till 1854. All his remissions of taxation therefore, with the ex ception of the tea duty, are prospective ; the in crease of taxation—cunningly kept out of view till the house was warmed by the promises of prospec tive reductions—is at once to be carried into effect. The sum of this wonderful Budget is.a, prospective relief to the shipping interests, a permission to re fine sugar in bond, a present reduction of duty on tea of 40. per lb., and a prospective reduction in all of ls. 2td. ; a prospective reduction of the malt and hop duties, and an immediate increase of the house tax. Thereto is added some manipulations of the property and income-tax that scarcely make it more beautiful. Sir Robert Peel, to whom Mr. Disraeli has been unluckily compared, did not make much more than half as long a speech in 1842, when he changed the basis of our system of taxation, abolished prohibition, reformed the tariff, and restored a decaying revenue to health and a discontented nation to prosperity. (From the Morning Post.) One of the greatest difficulties against which this budget has to contend, in finding its way into pub lic favour, is unquestionably the exaggerated pro portidns which the cloudy uncertainty of distance had lent it while it loomed on our vision from the dark shadows of the future. Then every man shaped it according to his fancy, or his wants rather. To one it appeared like a weasel—to an other like a camel—to a third it was " backed " like a camel, and to the shipping interest it seemed " very like a whale." Each of the gazers on the coming cloud felt convinced that it contained all that was necessary for "his interest," and there were not a few who fearlessly announced their con victions that it would accomplish everything for everybody's interesi;—that it would lighten the burthens of all, without adding to those of any, and that our million a-week of revenue would be raised by means of a vastly diminished taxation, brought about, in its turn, by some mysterious process called a re-distribution of public burthens. Under one or other or all of these illusions the public mind laboured in a greater or less degree. No one man, probably, who had arrived at the years of discretion, was, in his single judgment, carried away by notions so preposterous ; but the sympathy of general folly whirled him into the common stream and down he went with the rest in the heady current. The diminution of the duty on tea is a just and judicious measure, and assuming that the tardy growth of the tea plant is truly connected with the limited breadth of soil on which that plant is grown, then the gradual process by which the proposed reduction is to be completely effected is also a wise and prudent mode of effecting the object. The re newal of the income tax for three years, after the remission of half the malt tax and half the excise duty on hops, was a measure of unavoidable neces sity. The proposed increase to the warlike forces of the country will meet with universal, or at least verylgeneral, approbation. Considering the armies and 'fleets of Russia, America, and Austria—to say nothing of France--and considering the vast extent of our territory, and the incredibly limited number of our naval and military power, what is now pro posed, so far from being too much, is not enough to meet the national requirements, much less to fulfil the expectation of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. There remains yet many points to be examined, but we cannot go farther to-day. Op portunities will abundantly recur for the further discussion of this budget, framed by a Conservative Minister on the principles of Free trade. GLASS BOTTLE PRODUCTION.—In Castleford, the po pulation of which is only 2,200, the enormous number of 47,000 glass betties are daily manufactured. SHEERNESS, DEC. 3: Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Fearless, Captain Frederick Bullock, having coaled, &c., left port on Wednesday to resume her surveying duties. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Adder, Mr. James Watt in charge, arrived from Chatham on the Ist inst., and, after communicating with the dockyard, re turned up the Medway. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-transport Rhada manthus, Mr. John Belem, Master-Commanding, made her number on Wednesday afternoon as she passed the Nore en route to Woolwich. She was built by Robarts, and launched at Plymouth 20 years since. She is of 813 tons burden ; her engines are of the nominal power of 220 horses. Her present commission is of two years and eight months' duration, the principal portion of which period she has been at the Cape station. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Zephyr ar rived from Woolwich yesterday forenoon with super numeraries for the ships fitting out. . . Her Majesty's cutter Chath;.m, yacht to Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., arrived yesterday at 8-30 a.m., with offi cers from the Pay-office department, who, accompanied by the Master-Attendant of the dockyard, proceeded on board the London, 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, to pay the crew of that ship their wages up to the 30th of Sep tember. Shortly after noon they re-embarked in the yacht and sailed for Chatham. Her Majesty's screw steam-sloop Miranda, 14, has completed caulking, and is ready to have new copper put on her bottom. Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain Sir Th omas M a itl an d, h as h er lower and top-mast rigging rattlined down. Notwith standing the great exertions used in expediting her equipment, she will not be ready far sea in all respects before the latter end of January. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Tribune, 30, will be brought forward for commission immediately after her being launched in January next. Her Majesty's ship Wellesley, 72, having undergone necessary repairs at Chatham-yard, was removed from the dock on Wednesday. Her Majesty's ship Ocean, 84, was docked at Chatham on the 30th ult., to be converted into a depot for coal for the supply of the steam squadron of reserve at this port. Her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant- Commanding William Wood, is to be paid to-morrow (this day). Thirty hands from the Waterloo flag-ship have been employed in assisting to - strip her, and return her stores, &c. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Driver, 6, took her powder in yesterday. Captain C. Hope, superintendent of the dockyard, has been granted leave of absence for the space of five weeks. Two officers (one a lieutenant, the other the clerk) of the Rosamond, Commander Crawford, are to undergo the ordeal of courts-martial. The trial of the former is ordered to take place on board the Waterloo flag-ship to-morrow, the 4th inst. DEC. 5, Her Majesty's ship London 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, was suddenly ordered, on Friday last, to prepare to proceed to Spithead with all possible dispatch. Her removal from this port is most un expected, it having been determined she should re main here until April next. She is to take on board one month's provisions for 500 men, and, on arriving at Spithead, to complete her full complement of 850. Commander Octavius Cumberland will supersede to present will Com mander George Hancock to-day. Captain Mundy, on leave of oofndny. absenceT The o r benefit London, according o his health, ar rangements, will proceed to the Nore on Thursday, be inspected on Friday by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceli - ae Percy, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief, and leave for Spit head on the following day, in tow of the Barracouta. Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, has taken on board 2,200 of olive-oil for the use of her machinery. The engines, although only of 500 nominal horse-power, will work up to 1,400, with a pressure of 141 b. to the square inch ; if that be increased to 201 b., they are equal to 1,800. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Monkey ar rived from Woolwich yesterday. After communicating with the Admiral, she proceeded on her voyage to Portsmouth with a detachment of Artillery. Her Majesty's cutter Chatham, yacht to Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., Superintendent of Chatham Dock yard, arrived yesterday morning with officers from the Pay-office department. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Adder, Mr. James Watt in charge, arrived from Chatham yesterday at half-past 8 a.m., with officers ordered to attend the court-martial on several of the officers of the Rosamond. Her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Com manding William Wood (b), was paid off yesterday in the dockyard, according to the new system, whereby all the disgraceful scenes of intoxication, formerly so preva lent on such an occasion, have been avoided. Several of her crew volunteered for the Excellent, the Coast guard, and for entry as seamen riggers in her Majesty's dockyard. Not one has volunteered for any ship fitting out here, or at any other port. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Amphion, 34, one of the advanced steam squadron of reserve, will be com missioned at this port during the present week. The report in circulation during the past week, that six commanders were to be promoted to the rank of captain, is without foundation. Her Majesty's ship Cressy, 80, is now under the hands of the artificers of Chatham Dookyard. Report says she will be fitted for screw propulsion. Nearly two years have elapsed since any work was done on her. Commander Price, of the Monarch, 84, guard-ship of the ordinary, has been ordered to Shields for the pur pose of raising men for the London, Waterloo, and other ships. The Waterloo, it is stated, is ordered to be made ready for sea in case her services should be required. A court-martial wad holden yesterday on board the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Lieutenant Godfrey Taylor 7 of the Rosa mond steam-sloop, Acting Commander Crawford, re cently paid off at Woolwich. The Court comprised the following officers :—The Hon. Montagu Stopford, flag- Captain of the Waterloo, president ; Captain Sir T. Maitland, of the screw steam line-of-battle-ship, Aga memnon ; Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, of the Horatio, screw steam guard-ship ; Commander Arthur Morrell, of the Boscawen, guard-ship of the ordinary at Chatham ; and Commander Hall, of the Agamemnon. The Court was opened punctually at 9 a.m. The Judge-Advocate having administered the usual oath to the members, and other preliminaries having been gone i through, the charge against the prisoner was read, which averred " that the said Lieutenant Godfrey.."-raY_n: on the 20th of November last, while the was vessel, the Rosamond, was lashed alongside the Wool 'off deck wich preparatory to its being paid off, during his, the middle watch, and below asleep in his cabin." t h e Q u artermaster and In support of the charg e, sentry of the watch were cal C c alls by the prosecutor. on ommander Craw- The Quartermaster that, depo sed ford's coming on boar d at three bells (1 30 a m.), in the middle watch, he was sent below to order t Lieuten an t Taylor on deck. saepnptryearabnocree testimony to in the e The his prisoner's making space of five minutes after he received the order from his commanding officer. The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner was called upon for his defence, in which he admitted that feeling much fatigued from his having been present at the funeral of the Duke of Wel lington, walking a considerable distance to visit his parents, whom he had not seen since he left England in the Rosamond, and having on his return on board to keep the middle watch he had lain down on his cloak and fallen asleep. He produced testimonials of cha racter from the various officers under whom he had served, all of which certified his zeal, attention to his duties, and respect to his superiors. The prosecutor DEC. 4. Commander Hyde Parker (1847), to command the Cruiser, steam-sloop, fitted with a screw-propeller and engines of 60-horse power, commissioned this day at Woolwich. The pendant of the Cruiser will be hoisted on Monday, and she will be tried down theriver in the course of next week, as she is now completed by the shipwrights and engineers. Paymaster Henry Cooper (1850), to the Cruiser. Clerk C. W. Tuke (1848), recently serving in the Ter rible steam-frigate, to the Cruiser. Master James Bodie (1844), from the Indefatigable, 50, to the Arrogant steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. The Fisgard, flag : ship of Commodore Henry Eden, was paid wages on Friday down to September last. The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Edward Codd, was paid off to-day at this port, and several of the crew left at once to join some of the steam-frigates recently commissioned at the eastern ports. There does not ap pear to be any unwillingness on the part of the men to serve again, as they have a conviction that the commit tee now sitting on the best means of manning the navy will improve their condition on board, and they say almost unanimously that if they only get their gill again they will not only be ready to serve, but also to fight if required, and follow their officers wherever they may lead them. The 24 Africans who came over here in the Dover steam-vessel from the river Gambia are to be paid off in a fortnight, and will return home in one of the vessels commissioned for service on the coast of Africa. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH DEVON EXTENSIONS.—The Plymouth and Tavistock proper having obtained a subscription list sufficient to enable it to pass the standing orders, the South Devon has further ratified its prospects of suc cess by obtaining contractors to carry out the whole of the works at a price within the estimated capital. It has also taken a perpetual lease of the line at a rental which secures to the shareholders, after the first two , years, a minimum interest of 31. 15s. per cent., with two-thirds of surplus profits. Such being the case, the proprietors will not be surprised to learn that Mr. Gill's scheme is to be opposed from the outset ; a committee of directors from the Great Western, Bristol, and Exeter, and South Devon, having already begun, with Mr. Brunel, to scrutinise whether or not the Okeha*ip ton divergence has complied with the standing orders.— Railway Times. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY PIVIDEND,-It is be- lieved that the forthcoming dividend will be ss. per share, though, if possible, it will be strained to ss. 6d.. SOUTH MIDLANDS RAILWAY.—It is said that this project has sustained a heavy loss by the death of Sir J. J. Guest, as one of its patrons. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Mr. Bulkeley, formerly the secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway, has been selected to succeed Mr. Wyndham Harding as secretary of the South-western Railway. It would have been difficult for the company to choose a more honourable and gentlemanly man than Mr. Bulkeley, judging from what he was when at the Eastern Counties.—iferapath,'s Journal. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORTH STAY. FORDSHIRE RAILWAYS.—The arbitration of Mr. Hope and Mr. Stephenson would at length seem to have been effectual, both companies having announced meetings to "approve or otherwise" of the recommendations of these gentlemen. The proprietors of the London and North western being thus afforded an opportunity of con sidering the desirableness of increasing the number and burden of their leases, we may perhaps acquire some information on the point why, the North Staffordshire being considered worth only three and a half per cent., the Shrewsbury and Chester should be offered four and a half. As the two lines exist at present, independently, as well as in closeness of relation to the London and North-western, the North Staffordshire is decidedly the most valuable of the two, more especially as half of the Shrewsbury and Chester may be obtained at its precise value. —Railway Times. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The annual meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at their offices in Leadenhall-street ; Captain Thornton, R.N., in the chair. The report of the court of directors was read and unanimously adopted by the proprietors, as was also a resolution recommending the payment of a dividend of 4 per cent. clear of income-tax for the half-year ending 30th September last, payable on on and after the 23d instant. The proprietors' un derwriting account shows a balance at 30th Septem ber, 1852, of 29,0421. is, 5d., out of which the direc tors recommend a payment of 11. per old share, and a proportionate amount for every new share, early in the ensuing year, to each proprietor on the number of shares for which he may be entitled to the dividend now about to be declared, which, it is estimated, will amount to 22,5001., leaving a balance to the credit of this account of about 6,5421. ls. sd. to be carried to the next year's account. The steam-fleet of the company now comprises 27 vessels afloat, 11 building, and 4 store ships, in all 42 vessels of 53,850 tons and 14,290 horse power, estimated when all completed to be worth upwards of two millions sterling. The directors purpose, on the commencement of the new postal service in January next, to lower the rate of passage money between Europe and the East. Very satisfactory reference is made in the report to the establishment of a Marine Life and Casualty .31utual Assurance Society at Southamption, the objects of which are to enable the offiepra, seamen, and ongincoro of the couiliany to Insure their lives at moderate premium s , as well as to provide for themselves annuities when age accident may render them unfit for ery his plan has hitherto been very successful, a lsr ge num ber tof seamen, and others in the companyoftheeingsotyi: having availed themselves of the advantages tution.

This man was intoxicated before and on the evening of the murder, and when sent for by the coro ner he was again drunk. These circumstances caused him to be regarded with suspicion, but up to last ii we there was no evidence against him. During the past hat week the village constable, Elson, ha Grace Worthley, a neighbour of parties,theerdihte saw mr had sai s. d that, on the night of the murder, after s White, at half-past ten o'clock, she went to .00ais for Sir A.

In consequence of this in formation he communicated with the magistrate acting for that district of Devonshire, and Corber has been ap prehended ; and, on Saturday, he was brought before J. H.
