It has de cided that no child can be bound out to a master before the age of twelve, in order to obtain some education an religious notions. A provision has been introduced to limit the number of apprentices with each master, so as to render them proportionate to the npriber of workmen employed; the object being► to ensure their receiving good instruction. Finally, it has been decided that the duration of work for apprentices , can never exceed that of regular workmen. The Jourqtal du Havre of yesterday states that the detachment of National Guards of that place, who ire to have left yesterday for Southampton, took alarm at the state of the weather, and have postponed their intended excursion. The Journal du Havre regrets this, as preparations had been made in South ampton to give the visitors a very cordial reception. A Nantes journal states that there is a marked im provement in the trade of that town, particularly in the tanneries, which is in one of its principal branches of industry. TUSCANY. 11614 Price 113 411( 319 1431 The Corriere Mercantile of the 7th has intelli )3 ence froth Florence up to the 6th. That capital ad been the scene of disorders, attributed to the exalted party ; two chasseurs and an officer of the civic guard were wounded by stones thrown at the armed force, whose coolness prevented any more serious collision. The Prefect Puccioni published a proclamation in consequence on the sth, re commending the citizens to avoid increasing the groups of the ill intentioned by their presence from the mere motive of curiosity, and an nouncing that in case the disturbances should take a more serious turn the armed force will act, after three intimations to make the crowd disperse. On the 6th, Montanelli had a long conference with the Grand Duke. A proclamations was posted at Leghorn on the sth, signed by the new Governor, in which, after thanking the Livournese for their confidence in him, he declares that before he accepts such a charge he must consider whether he can fulfil it. Guerrazzi has left for Florence, and published an adieu to his fellow-citizens, commending Monta nelli to their affections. THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSO CIATION. (From the Liverpool :Mercury of this day.) The Financial Reform Association present to the public the result of their examination of the salaries and expenses of the House of Commons and the Go vernment offices. At present it is scarcely possible to discover the actual expense of any branch of the Government, for almost every one is paid in three different ways, namely, out of the consolidated fund, by annual parliamentary grants, and by fees. The association cannot discover any advantage in separating the expenses of Government into the different accounts of Civil List, Consolidated Fund, and the Annual Estimates ; though they perceive that the consequent complexity of the finance accounts frequently prevents the detection of ex travagance. It would be a great improvement (and by no means a difficult task) so to draw up the esti mates as to show at a glance the separate expenses of the Royal, Civil, Judicial, Colonial, and Military and Naval branches of the Government. Concerning the public offices, the following evi dence was given before the Committee on Miscel laneous Expenditure, by Sir C. Trevelyan, whose official position would give him ample opportunities of forming a trustworthy opinion :—" I think there is a great deal of work in . t„,lie public departments which is superfluous ? arising out of the perpetuation of old forms. There are a number of offices which are completely effete as practical offices for the tranl action of business, and exist merely for the preser vation of antiquated forms." The preservation of patronage is perhaps a more probable reason why these useless offices are not abolished. There is scarcely any public trust more misused than the power of appointing to offices. The common practice of making such appointments on account of the rank and connexions of the parties, without regard to their competency, is deeply injurious to the State. It betrays a lamentable absence of moral principle, when a public officer, to whom is entrusted the responsible duty of appointing others, is influenced in the exercise of that high trust by personal and selfish considerations. The Committee above referred to recommend, in their report, a general revision of all salaries, in order that they may be made suitable to the altered circumstances of expense and condition of the country since they were originally fixed. They say, that in the course of such an examination, it would be found advisable, also, to establish a more unifor m rate of payment fo r similar services in different de partments. It is to be hoped that this excellent re commendation will be at once acted upon, as the need for such a revision is very apparent. It is a painful fact that the expenditure of the House of Commons is, at present, on a most extrava gant scale. There is some hope, however, of a change, since the Committee on iscellaneou s Ex penditure have suggested many important reductions in these expenses ; though, even these suggestions do not go so far as, in the opinion of this Association, is practicable and expedient. The following is a list of the officers of the House of Commons, and their present annual salaries : Speaker £5OOO Chaplain ... ..• ••• 400 Secretary to the Speaker ... SOO Counsel to the Speaker ... ..• ... 1500 His Clerk ... • . • 150 Examiner of Standing Orders ... ... 1750 Taxing Officer ... • 1000 Librarian ... 1000 Assistant Librarian Messenger ... .• 140 Four Vote office Clerks, 800/, 300/, 180/., 1204. 1400 Four Clerks at the Table, 3,5001., 2,5001., 1,0004 Seven Public Bill Clerks, 1,900.1, 8001, 8001, 500/ 4 4001, 3001., ...

Six Private Bill Clerks, 800/., 4501., 3501., 2501., 2501., 150/. ... • • ... ... ... The chief duties of the head clerks of these offices are to make minutes of the decisions of the House and the Committees. At the Vote-office a register is kept of all papers printe4 by order of the House. The journal clerks compile a journal of the proceeding. The engrossing clerks make copies of Bills on parchment. Sergeant-at-Arms ... Deputy ditto ... Assistant ditto ... Their duties are to maintain order (with the aid of the police) in the lobbies and passages, and at the command of the House to order the messengers to take persons into custody. Three Door-keepers, 8741., 4001., 2001 Four Messengers, at 300/. each ... Four extra ditto, three at 1051. and one at 1201... The messengers' duties are to wait in the lobbies and galleries, and take persons into custody when commanded to do so by the Ser geant-at:Arms. Deputy Housekeeper 500/.

Two of the company's most powerful engines drew it at the average rate of 23 miles an hour, including several stoppages. The expe riment has been so successful, that the directors have determined to repeat it at the Houghton Meeting, MILITARY MOVENtERTS. A detachment of the Ist Royals (about 150), under the command of Captain Isaac, art ived at Aberdeen on Monday night, to replace the 93d Highlanders, who are about to proceed to Dun dee, Perth, and Stirling (bead-quarters) —the first de tachment leaves to-day, and the remainder on Friday.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending October 10, 1848, is 235. 7 %d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 13.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of raw Sugar were less disposed to realise, and refrained from submitting any to auction. West India Muscovado was inlgood demand, for sale and pan, but merchants were compelled to accept former low rates. The purchases amount to 850 hhds and trcs, making for the week 1,157 hhds and trcs. The fall in the value for that time is 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods met with little at tention, but in the value there is no variation to make known. Meuurnus is little required by grocers or refiners, and an enlarged quantity has been pressed upon the attention of buyers; former rates are in consequence not generally supported. Of 8,900 bags submitted to public sale a small part only sold; the chief consisted of the better descriptions. Mauritius is still higher in value than West India, with the exception of brown sorts. EAST INDIA.—With strong yellow kinds of Bengal the market has been abundantly supplied this week, the demand having been limited, prices suffered a de cline of is to is 6d per cwt, the quantity on offer like wise far exceeds the wants of the trade. For white and yellow Benares a decrease is visible in the amount of business concluded, and quotations must be considered 6d lower. Thero are sellers of brown upon low terms, yet few buyers ar to be met with. Of the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 10,400 bags, not above two thirds sold. FOREIGN.—The market has been more freely supplied this week, and on the part of merchants more desire is manifested to realise. There has been little inclination manifested by exporters to do business, few purchases have been made for home trade purposes, and our refiners working under bond are not much in want of Sugar at present. At auction 3,713 bags, 12 cases, 8 barrels, and 514 bales of Santa Martha have been offered, and a part only sold. The private sales made in foreign Sugar this week are a cargo of yellow Havannah at 19s, one of Maceo at 18s 6d, and one of Bahia at 20s for white. MOLASSES.—West India can be obatained upon the low terms of 15s to 18s per cwt, still on the part of buyers little desire was manifested to do business. Ben gal Treacle is held for 15s to 18s per cwt ; there is not much demand. Honey sells with more readiness. COFFEE.—This afternoon more desire was manifested to do business i❑ Plantation Ceylon at the public sales, which consisted of 2,400 bags and 14 casks, and the whole sold at full rates, good middling 503, middling 46s to 475, low riddling 42s 6d to 44s 6d, other sorts 34s to 40i, inferior 27s to 30s, and damaged 20s to 375. Of Native 600 bags only in part sold at 27s 6d to 28s for good ordinary rather colory. Cocos.—Of West India there is a plentiful supply, and on the part of the trade little desire is shown to do business. At public sale, a small prrt only of 867 baags Trinidad found buyers. For Foreign the market is in a dull state, and prices tend downwards. TEA.—To-day the public sales of Tea went off with out spirit at former rates. Gunpowder was rather cheaper. Of 8,856 pkgs offered, 2,500 sold. On Tues day 12,000 pkgs will be offered at auction. FAULT.—The demand for Carrants this week has been good at 40s to 42s for new, and 34s to 35s for old : at public sale, 107 butts 50 crtls and 58 barrels damaged Patras were offered, the greater part of which sold from 38s to 425, the quality very good. Valencia Raisins continue very dull at 40s: at auction 511 boxes and 351 half-boxes damaged were sold from 37s to 395. New Turkey Figs ex-Sultan, were yesterday offered to the trade, a portion of which sold at 70s—the price was reduced to-day to 655, and a good deal of business done. RICE.—To-day at action 149 bags Bengal Rice were sold; Bengal, good white at 12s, damaged 9s to 1 Is; Bombay sound white at lOs to lls 6d, and damaged 8s to lOs 6d. SAGO.—To-day at public sale 180 boxes of Pearl Sago were sold at 20s 6d to 21s 6d per cwt. SALTPETRE.—There has been little desire manifested by exporters or home trade buyers to do business by private treaty, and a further decline is apparent in the value of 6d per cwt. At auction, 1,500 bags were dis posed of. The rates asked for British refined are 29s 6d to 30s, still the amount of business done is of little moment. SricEa.—Mace met with less demand, and must be quoted rather as thtre is an enlarged supply; at auction 25 packages were sold. Brown Nutmegs are wanted and full rates obtained, there is also a plentiful supply; at auction 57 packages found buyers. With Black Pepper the market has been well supplied this week, and as only a limited demand existed prices have slightly given way. Of the parcels offered at auction amount ing to 3,743 bags, and 4,410 robins not above half found buyers. To-day at auction 77 bags of white Pepper went at 4id to 4id per lb. , SPrarTs.—The salet , made in East India Riim have been to a small extent only, and is fid to is sid is the recent value of proof. For Leeward Island their is a dull market, and prices are on the decline, they rule at Is 6d to, Is 6id for proof. Demerara has been dealt in with caution, and strong sorts can be obtained at 2s 3d to 2s Bd. There are few buyers of Jamaica for home consumption, and export orders come in slowly. The value of good and tile 30 to 38 per cent. over proof is 3s 6d to 4s 4d, low and middling 28 to 33 over 3s to 3s sd. Brandy is unaltered in value, but there is a fair demand. Cognac of the vintage of 1847 is 4s 10d to aid ditto 1846 3s 10d to 4s per gallon. Geneva export kind at 2s to 2s Id per gallon. In British made Spirit there is no variation to notice. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India has been well attended by exporters and home trade buyers, and is proceeding better than was expected. To-day during the progress of the sale 202 chests were withdrawn; 958 chests have passed the sale. The brisk demand which we noticed previously for the middling shipping qualities of Bengal has continued at an average advance of 4d on the last sale's prices. Ordinary and lowjsorts were also in better demand at from the July rates to 2d advance. Fine shipping descriptions, however, above 4s 9d do not show any:improvement. Ordinary and low Madras is selling at about the July sale's prices, whilst good qualities (owing to their scarcity) average at about 6d advance. The quantity bought in is only 34 chests. Of the quantity which has now passed the sale (3,230 chests) 480 have been withdrawn, and 450 bought in, leaving 2,300 sold. COCHIMEAL.—This afternoon there was more demand for Cochineal, and the public sales of 100 bags Honduras went at full rates ; silvers at 3s 6d to 4s sd, and black 4s 6d to 5s Id per lb. OlL.—This afternoon the market for Cocoa Nut Oil had a dull appearance, and at auction 86 pkgs of Ceylon were taken in at 39s 6d ; 182 casks of Palm 31a to 32s 6d per cwt. TALLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went off flatly, and at lower rates; 350 casks of New South Wales sold at 39s 9d to 445; 107 casks Odessa Ox mostly taken in at 44s 3d; 61 mats of Vegetable Tallow 46s to 48s per cwt. PARISH Or ST. CLEMENT DANES.—Last evening a vestry meeting was held in St. Clement Danes, Mr. Churchwarden Jacquet in the chair, to pass the church wardens' accounts, and make a rate for the ensuing quarter. Mr. Cull stated that in addition to the funds in hand, 5,2751. would be required for the support of the poor. Mr. Judkins` moved, and Mr. Woodward se conded, the adoption of a ninepenny rate. Mr. Faulk ner, after commenting upon the enormous increase of the poor-rates, which were doubled, 12,0001. being added of late, moved an adjournment of the rate for a week to afford the ratepayers an opportunity to examine the state of the several charities. Mr. Ranken seconded the amendment, which was lost by a majority of 26 to 18, and the rate was adopted. The Chairman stated that the rental of unoccupied houses figured at 4,2401., which, at a penny rate, amounted to 3001., which deficiency the ratepayers had to make good. The several parochial officers for the sear were re-elected, and thanks voted to the Chairman. THE SAILORS' HOME AND THE DESTITUTE SEA MEN'S ASYLllPC—Testerday a meeting of the board of directors of the above valuable institution was held at the Sailor's Home, in' Well-street, London Docks. The report for the past year stated that 4,932 seamen had passed through the Home, making a total since the opening of 37,359. There are now above 180 inmat es . i The establishment s capable of accommodating 300 in dividuals, but one dormitory, finished for 35 additional inmates, remains unoccupied for want of funds. During the first year 128 large ships have been manned from the Sailors' Home, and in the course of the same year there has been received by the cashier 26,282/., of which 5,4761. had been sent to the ' seamen or their families. In the savings bank there is deposited near 3,0001. The ex penditure amounted to 7,0761. 19s. 4d., leaving a balance of 6711. 55. Id. The total number of destitute sailors in the asylum adjacent to the Home, instituted for the re ception of distressed seamen of all nations, has been 511 since the Ist of May • LUCIFER AT IV? Rx.—A fire in Price's umbrella manufactory, in Philadelphia, has been pretty satisfac torily ascertained to have originated in the ignition of a box of lucifer matches from the gnawing of a mouse! POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A foreigner named Henry Moritz Goldachnticit, who refused to give his address at the station.house, was placed at the bar before Alderman Challis on the charge of attempting to utter a forged cheque for the sum of 211. 10s. Mr. Edward Grafton, of No. $l, Fleet-street, watchmaker, stated, that a b out a quarter past eight o'clock the previous eve n i ng the prisoner entered his shop and in priceandwishedfrotom inspect6l.t o some . gold e Hg o e ld was watches, shown several trays' full and at last selected one at the latter price, at the same time t of him h f i requesting to see some chains. These were also handedno hr was five he picked out one the price f wguineas, and then asked witnessovould he take a cheque and give about him the balance, him ? Suspecting as t h e h he cheque had no m to s be a a l l change forgery, he took it from the prisoner, remarking that he had not sufficient money in the house, but would go out and get it changed. He at once proceeded to the station-house, and an officer in plain clothes was sent back with him, and he was, after a short conversation, taken into custody. Richard Cooke, 146 of the City police force, said that he followed the last witness into the shop, and, not to arouse suspicion, asked to be allowed to look at some seals. He then heard Mr. Grafton ask the prisoner where or from whom he obtained the cheque, and he replied, that Mr. Straker, of Bishogsgate street, gave it to him. The prosecutor then said that as he suspected that all was not right, he should like to know if the prisoner saw it signed by that party, and he replied that he not only saw it signed, but written by Mr. Straker, He (the offic er ) a sk ed to look at the cheque, and on remarking that it was evi dently a forgery, the prisoner attempt ed to regain possession of it, saying, "If you do not like the cheque I will get the money in the morning." On the way to the station-house he also attempted to escape by stooping down and trying to slip under his arm. Mr. Samuel Straker, of Bishop s g ate-street, litho grapher, said that he worked for the Joint Stock Bank, and the prisoner called a few days ago, and represented that his name was Henry Smith, that he was about to go t o Hamburgh, and t h e nce proceed to New York, a t th e same time requesting some cards agent. He ga ve hi m th e lists, and lists o f p r i ces , so as t o act in the capacity of an at the same time inti mating that hi s comm i ss i on would be paid on his return, but n o di scoun t s hould be allowed. The prisoner left, an d t h e s i gna ture was not in his hand writing. N e i t h er could h e a ccount for the prisoner obtaining p ossess i on o f t h e cheque-head otherwise than its being one of their waste papers„and he must have picked it up. It on ly bore the name of the bank, and the writing was above that. Cooke said he had since ascertained that :the pri ds soner lived i n the !Strand, and was c onnec ted with the first f am ili es i n H arn b ur gh. However, his friends in Engla n d h a d entirely throw n him off, is conse quence of th e falsehoods he had told and the imposi tions he had p ract i se d upon them for the purpose of obtaining m oney . Alderman C HALLIS as k e d the prisoner what he had to say for himself ? —He replied that he found the cheque near Temple-bar, and that having lost some bank notes on a previous day, he was prevented from going to Hamburgh, and thought there was no harm in trying to change it to enable him to proceed on his journey. The officer said he also found on the prisoner two forged hills of exchange, but they were of no use. 1 Prisoner—They are of no use. I only wanted to i exercise myself a little.—(Laughter.) i Alderman Csaula remanded him for a week, , I MARYLEBONE. Elizabeth Rogers and John Jennings were placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, for further examination, on the charge of having been concerned in plundering the house of Mr. C. G. Ridout, 11, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, of property to the amount of be tween 1501. and 2001. The man Jennings was discharged, and Rogers stands remanded till Thursday next. A FEMALE BURGLAR. WESTON-SUPER-MARE, OCT. 6.—Ann Cunniford was charged at the Town-hall before F. Hutchinson Synge, Esq., on suspicion of having committed a bur glary on the night of the Ist instant, at No. 2, Albert buildings, in this town. The following evidence was taken : Mrs. Mary Coles sworn—On Sunday night, the Ist instant, went to bed about eleven o'clock, having first locked up the house. A back window was left partly open to prevent smoke. It opened from the top. My servant, Elizabeth Stone, was the first down next morning. She came and asked me if I had heard anything in the night, as there was a great mess in the kitchen. The fire had been lighted, and the back door was open. My husband said he had heard a noise, but thought it was a lodger about. When I came down and searched the different rooms, I found that from the china pantry some plate had been taken away; it consisted of six small spoons, two tablespoons, and six silver forks, which I had seen there the evening before. The property described belonged to my husband. I immediately gave notice of the robbery to Mr. Hill, police officer, and heard nothing more of them until this morning. The ar ticles now produced, found on the prisoner, I swear to as being the afore-named property. George Hobbs, of Bridgewater, policeman, sworn. —On Monday evening, the 2d instant, from informa tion I received, I went to a beer-shop at Pig-cross, Bridgewater, where I saw the prisoner. Immediately on seeing me she said, " Oh, here is a policeman cone, I will let him see what I have got." She then took from her bosom a cloth or apron, in which I found the articles produced—viz., two tablespoons, two dessert-spoons, and two teaspoons, markedM.C., with the exception of one snarked 3. W. ; two placed table forks, and two silver dessert-forks not marked. Prisoner said they were her own property ; they had 'been given her by her mother. She refused to tell me - her name. I then charged her with hiving stolen the articles and took her into custody. Elizabeth Stone, sworn = Monday morning last, on coming down stairs,l found the kitchen in a very different state to what I had left it on Sunday evening at ten o'clock. Some kettles had been taken off the grate and the fire re-lighted, and other things displaced. I then found that the back door had been opened from the inside. I went into the yard and found a bucket turned upside down, under the kitchen window, which had been left partly open, but was now shut close. I then went and called my mistress. I told her some one had been in the house and had lit the fire and made tea. Half a bottle full of tea had been taken that belonged to myself. I then found the plate had been taken, and also two shawls and a bonnet belonging to Fanny Thomas, an inmate of the house, an umbrella, basket, and a pair of boots belonging to myself, and a table• cloth the property of my mistress. The articles of plate now produced I believe to be the same that were stolen. Fanny Thomas, sworn—On coming down stairs on Monday morning I was told by Elizabeth Stone that some one had been in the house. I immediately found some articles belonging to me were missing. I have not seen them since. The articles now pro duced I swear to as being those that I missed. Robert Hill, police- officer, sworn—Yesterday, I received information from my brother, an inspector of police at Bridgewater, that he had a woman in cus tody on suspicion of having stolen plate, &c., at Weston. I went down and saw the prisoner at the gaol. She had on the bonnet and shawl now produced. I said, "Are these yours ?" She replied, " I dare say you know whose they are." I then took them from her, believing them to be the things described to me by F. Thomas. Jeremiah Coles deposed to the plate being his own property, and to having heard a noise in his house during the night of Sunday the Ist, but supposed it to be made by a lodger. The prisoner declined to ask either of the witnesses any questions. On being asked if she had anything to say why she should not be committed, she replied in the negative, but added she would now have a home, which she had not at present. She was then fully committed for trial at the next March assizes.— Weston-super-Mar e Gazette. JUVENILE OFFENDERS IN MIDDLESEX. At the last meeting of magistrates for the transac tion of county business, a motion relative to the pro vision of houses of industry for the reformation of juvenile offenders, was brought forward by Mr. Arm strong. In the course of the honourable magistrate's observations on that occasion, he referred to a return which had been furnished to him by Lieutenant Hill, the governor of the House of Detention, by which the history of twelve depraved boys, the number of times they had been convicted, and the cost the county had been put to in the various prosecutions, were fully described.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Monday morning, as the boat was leaving Exmoath, for the purpose of conveying pas sengers to S.arcross, to meet the train for Exeter, which passes through the latter place about seven o'clock, a gentleman was seen hastily approaching the beach ; the boatman stopped and took him in, but he was scarcely seated when he fell backwards as was supposed in a fit. He was instantly carried back to the Railway Inn, but before medical aid could be procured life was extinct. The gentleman's name has not transpired, but he is stated to be a merchant from Liverpool, and had a large amount of money in his pockets. He appeared to be about 65 years of age, and his death is supposed to have been caused by the exertion used in reaching the boat, whereby some internal rupture took place.—ExeterFlyiny Post. ➢Zr. Samuel Lover, the distinguished Irish poet, musician, and painter, arrived in London on Monday, in the Europa, which made the passage from New York to Liverpool in twelve days, after a most successful tour throughout the aorthern and southern states of America. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Ajax, 56, screw guard-ship, went out of harbour this morning at half past nine o'clock to try her engine and speed. Rear- Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Captain Austen, C. 8., with a number of other officers, Mr. Smith, At.. Brown, and many other scientific gentlemen, -were also on board her. The day was remarkably fine, a light wind blew from the N.W., with the water as smooth as at a millpond, On her proceeding out of harbour round the Spit Buoy the screw appeared to he working mo:it admirable, the large hulk gliding through the water without the least noise, her screw occasioning but the least possible ebul lition of the water under her stern, and the ship the least possible undulation. We should say that in passing along Southsea beach she was going ahead at least four knots, with a flood tide of one knot against her. This would give her five knots speed. The Ajax proceeded through Spithead to Stokes Bay, where she unfortu nately broke down by breaking one of her pistons before any account was taken of her speed. Should she, how ever, be found to have a speed of five or six knots, it would decide the authorities on not going to the very costly expenses now effecting in altering the Blenheim. Of course the admiral and officers returned to Ports mouth, and the Echo tug was dispatched to tow her up, but she will not come into harbour before six or seven o'clock. On her trial to-day the Ajax had only her bare lower masts and bowsprit in. The Grampus, 50, Captain H. Martin, was towed into harbour, and brought alongside the dockyard jetty. She looked well, her rigging and ropes were as taut as bars, and her tops and mast heads remarkably clear of all top hamper. She was down very much by the stern, occa sioned by her enormous freight, about 80 tons. Her lower mast did not seem to stand well, her foremast standing too far forward. They were painted black, with white mast heads. This evening her people commenced de livering her freight, but it will not be all got out to night. Messrs. Casher have charge of it, and will convey it to-morrow, by the South-Western Railway, from Portsmouth to London. We cannot exactly tell the value of it, as there is a box of diamonds and some gold; but the greatest proportion is in silver bars and dollars ; it is said to be worth 3,700,000 dollars. The money is on merchants' account, and by the present most unjust and iniquitous mode of appropriating the per ceetage for the payment of the freight, Captain Martin will pocket 6,0001. or 7,000/., while the officers and crew of the ship, who have all the trouble, get nil. The Grampus is dry ing sails, and will immediately prepare fur paying off. The Comet (steam-vessel), Lieutenant Commander Rigge, arrived to-day from Oporto, to pay off. Wind northerly, light breeze, with fine weather. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Henry Harvey, to the Kingfisher; Lieu tenant. J. W. Pike, to the Kingfisher; Master Henry T.

The Kingfisher, 12 gun sloop, was hauled from her moorings in ordinary at Portsmouth, down to the mut ing jetty, on Tuesday night, and yesterday her masts were put in, and a number of men put upon her, to rig her. She will be commissioned in a day or two to carry the November mail to the western coast of Africa. The Stromboli steam-sloop, 6 guns, in Portsmouth harbour, will return to the Tagus shortly. The Driver steam-sloop, 6 guns, sailed from Ports mouth on Tuesday night for Jersey, to land a company of Royal Artillery, and relieve the company serving there.

The Earl of Auckland has left the Admiralty on a visit of inspection to the Admiralty works at Holyhead. Thence his Lordship proceeds on a short visit to his brother, at the Isle of Man. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., late Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, has arrived in town. His Ports mouth friends will be glad to hear that this gallant and much respected flag-officer has improved much both in health and appearance since he lett the harassing duties of port admiral. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., Com mander-in Chief of the Channel squadron, is in town on leave of absence. The ships under his command:—St. Vincent, 120, flagship, Captain Dacres; Prince Regent, 90, Captain W. F. Martin; Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., and Reynard, 8, screw-schooner, Com mander Cracroft, are ordered to have their defects made good at Portsmouth, and to be kept ready for sea. The Bellerophon, it is understood, will be the first ship dispatched to the Mediterranean to relieve one of the line-of-battle ships there. The Stromboli, steam sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk, is to be ready at Spithead. MANNING THE NAVY.—IIaIf a dozen sail-of-the-line could be well manned in a very short time, with no diffi • culty, were the Admiralty to give the word. The King fisher, 12, Commander Harvey, was manned at Ports mouth in a few hours after orders for her commmis sioning. Captain Chads, C. 8., and his officers and men, returned to his own ship, the Excellent, at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, and Captain Austin, C. 8., and his officers and crew, returned to the Blenheim, from the Blake, the former resuming her position as the advanced screw guard-ship of the steam reserve at Portsmouth. The Gossamer tender, at Cork, has been appropriated as an exercising vessel for the naval apprentices there.

The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumaresq, has had her completion deferred by the engineers at Ports mouth until the 17th, when she will proceed to the Channel Islands to resume her duties. The Urgent steam-packet, Lieut.-Commander Mann, is ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth after her crew has had the usual notice. Her defects are then to be made good. The Lucifer, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.- Commander Lloyd, is ready for sea at Devonport, and is to be paid advance, preparatory to proceeding to Scotland to protect the coast fisheries. The Sharpshooter, screw-schooner, Lieut.-Commander Barley, has been ordered to have new trusses provided for her and cleared of her present armament.

ROYAL -DOCKYARD BRIGADES.—The Admiralty have issued directions to all the, krigades that the field pieces attached to the corps shall be kept, in the respective dockyards, under she!ter when it can be done, during %inter', and to be in charge of the drill serjeants. yts it rLYMpIITH, OCT. 11.—Her Majesty's steamer Comet, Lieutenant -Commander Rigge, came in yesterday from Ireland. THE GERMAN Rocx AGAIN.—Her Majesty's packet brig Seagull, Lieutenant-Commander James Smail in entering liamoaze from the Sound yesterday afternoon at half-past one o'clock, with a stiff breeze from north. west, grounded on the outer German Rock. Signal was immediately made :for assistance from the ships in the harbour, and help was speedily sent from the dockyard. At high water, two o'clock, she fortunately floated off without much injury. This is the second Government vessel which has been ashore this month on the German Rock. The first was the Peterel brig, mentioned on the 4th instant. She was going out at ebb tide with a fresh breeze from the south. Captain M'Quhae, of the frigate Dxdalus, has brought from China a variety of works of art the produce of that interesting country. We have had an opportunity of inspecting some of these speci mens at the Royal William Victualling Yard. Be sides several elegant China vases and tea sets, &c., there was a josshouse table and a sacrificial pan. The table was formerly used in a josshouse at Chingkiang Foo, and was presented to Captain M'Quhae by a native merchant. It is about five feet long by two feet wide, and massively made from a dark heavy wood. It stands high on four dragons scaled legs, the clawed feet clasp ing four balls; the framework of the table is full of alle gorical figures curiously carved and gilt. This specimen is, we believe, to be presented to some public institution. The sacrificial pan is stated to be 2,000 years old. It is roughly made of brass, of a circular shallow form, and capable of holding seven or eight quarts, supported on three short legs, which spring from rams' heads of a more finished character than the other parts of the ves • eel. By these heads the date of manufacture is calcu lated. The pan rests on an elegant hollow -work stand, carved from the hard root of a dark-coloured tree, and has a cover of the same material. The stand and cover are of modern construction, and are replete with well executed representations of leaves, flowers, and reptiles. The pan was obtained from a josshouse at Foo-chop-foo, where it had been used to receive the blood of animals sacrificed in the performance of certain religious cere monies. WOOLWICH, OCT. 12.—The Athol troop-ship, Master Commander Pearn, embarked Captain the Honourable R. Handcock's company, Ist battalion of the Royal Artillery, for Barbadoes, and Major Barnaby's company, 6th battalion, for Jamaica, and was towed down the river yesterday at twelve o'clock by the Monkey steam vessel. Strong detachments of the 2d, 4th, 6th, and Bth battalions embarked at the same time to fill up the companies at those stations whose turn of relief has not yet arrived. The Teazer steam-vessel is ordered to be made ready for the sea by the 15th inst., and the men are employed from the earliest hour of daylight until dark in the even ing to forward the works required upon her. She has been supplied with a 32-pounder gun of 56 cwt., instead of the 8. inch gun originally intended for her, and will be commissioned to take out the next mail for the coast of Africa, where she will be stationed for some timoin pursuit of slavers. Major James's company, 9th battalion Royal Artillery left the garrison here on Tuesday to relieve Captai Hennis's company, 2d battalion, at Jersey, the latter being under orders to return to head-quarters. _• UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

At the anniversary meeting of the Waltham Agri cultural Association, held some days since, the Duke of Rutland in the chair, it was resolved,. on the motion of Mr. Newbolt, of Sleaford, seconded by Mr. Beasley, of Harston, that some tribute of re spect should be paid to the memory of Lord George Bentinck ; and that, as a preliminary measure, the Duke of Rutland should be requested to communi cate with the Duke of Portland, expressing the loss the society had sustained lsy the death of the Noble Lord, and condoling with his Grace upon that me lancholy and unexpected event. The following correspondence has taken place:— " Palace, Sept. 27, 1848. "My dear Duke,—My first impulse, on learning the. sad intelligence which has carried desolation to your house, was to write to you; but I forbore on recollect ing how little consolation I could impart, and how con fidently rely upon your giving me credit for the acute ness of my sympathetic feeling, the consequences not simply of long-continued and strong attachment towards yourself, but of the friendship and regard which has subsisted for so many years between your deeply-la mented son and myself. " It is now a satisfaction to me that I did forbear to write to you, for I am commissioned to do so officially; and to communicate to you the feelings and sentiments of a large company, over which I had the honour to preside on Monday evening last, namely, the Waltham Agricultural Association. " As President and Chairman, it was my intention to have proposed the memory of poor George Bentinck to be drunk in melancholy silence; but a wish was ex pressed to me by several agriculturists present, that it might originate with them; and it was moved by Mr. Newbolt, from near Sleaford, seconded by Mr. Beasley, of Harston, near Belvoir, and cordially and unanimously agreed to by the whole company, that a resolution should be conveyed to you by myself, expressive of the deep sympathy and condolence of the Waltham Agricul tural Association, on the occasion of the irreparable loss with which it has pleased the Almighty to afflict you: their earnest hope is, that the same hand which inflicted the blow will support you under its effects; their grateful sense of the benefits which they and the agri cultural body of the kingdom have derived from his able and persevering advocacy of their cause; and their admiration of his great and manifold talents as a public man. " That the communication, although it may not con sole, may at least soothe you under this deplorable dis pensation of an all-wise Providence, is the sincere wish of "My dear Duke, yours most truly, - " RUTLAND,, " His Grace the Duke of Portland." " Welbeck, Sept. 29, WU. " Dear Duke of Rutland,—Nothing can be more con solatory than such communications as those contained in your letter, and which have reached me from many quarters. " I am sure I need not say that if anything could add to their value, it would be that they come from you. " I remain, dear Duke of Rutland, "Yours, very sincerely, " SCOTT PORTLAND." •.

In this suffering condition he was advised to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and he commenced a regular application of them, which in a short titne effected a complete cure. The Adelaide Observer of Cie 25th March, 1848, publishes this as one among the many astonishing cures effected, in South Australia, by these invaluable medicines.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo wa y' s E sta bli s h ment, 244, Strand, London.
