A young man narecd John Freeman was charged with embezzling various enm4 of money, the property of his employer, Mr. \‘' tittle, auctioneer, Old street, St. Luke's. It appeared that up to the Ist of July last the prisoner had been employed by Mr. Whittle as a cloth, and not the slightest suspicion was entertained of his honesty. A few days prior to this date the prisoner told his em ployer that his father had been suddenly plunged into difficulties, and if he Mr. Whittle would cash a bill of his (prisoner's) his lath( r and family Is ould he relieved from their trouble. Mr. Whittle aF.sented to the proposal, provided prisoner's father would endorse the bill, This was apparently done, and the cash was handed over. On the Male day the pri-oner was sent for 231., the amount of a bill due which he received, hut Mr. Whittle never saw him from that time to the pre sent. Subsequent investigation proved that the bill purporting to have teen dtawn by the prisoner's father was a forgery, and upon ( xsmination ef the book it was ascertained that are prisoner had i:en carrying on a system of plunder for s(mo time previous to his absconding. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was fully committed fur trial.

GI Total 1,( SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1848. N AVAL IN TELLIGENCE. TIIIIRSDAI.—The A EL X steam-block ship was under the necessity of anchoring at Spithead last night, the Chic being too low to get her into harbour by the tine she was got to the Spit buoy. She was towed in this morning by the Echo steam-tug. Very considerable progress has been made in stripping the Grampus and landing her stores, her officers very properly taking advantage of her lying alongside the jetty to discharge her specie to effect the other purpose. She is stripped to her lower masts, and Ell her yards landed, except the fore and main ,yards, which are re gain d for clearing her hold. The Belleropht.n, 78, Captain R. L. Baynes, C. 8., is to be paid wages en Monday next, and sail the following Wednesday. The freight brought by the Grampus amounts to 2,638,656 dollars, and will be conveyed by Messrs. Casher, the agents, to the Bank of England to-morrow, in a special train on the South Coast Railway, in charge of Mr. Superintendent Sutton and special guards, leav ing the Landport terminus about four A.I. for London bridge. Wind, N.N.W., moderate breezes and:hazy. FRIDAY.—The Grampus, 50, Captain 11. B. Martin, is nearly stripped and ready for paying off. Her freight amounted to 73 tons 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 14 lb. of silver, which was taken up by a special train from Landport, in charge of Messrs. Casher, the agents, and Mr. Superintendent Sutton, this morning to London-bridge, and thence by waggons to the Bank of England. It was in excellent condition and admirably packed. By this frigate's pay ing off, 500 more will be added to the thousands of good seamen now out of employ by the late reductions of the naval force. The Ajax did very well while she lasted, en Wednes day; she steered very easily, and did not fill her well with water. She will be ready for another trial in a fortnight. The Blenheim steam•guard-ship has returned to the command of Captain lloratio Austin, C. 8., and will be decked in a day or two, to have her propeller bearings examined. The Fairy, steam- tender to the Royal yacht,was placed in the steam-basin to day to have a thorough overhaul ing and repair of her engines. It is understood that it will require two months to complete her. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Henry Duma resq, was removed from the steam-basin to-day, and will leave to-morrow or Monday for Jersey, to resume her duties in the protection of the oyster fishery. The Malabar, coal-depot, was taken into dock today. The Plumper steam-schooner has been coppered, and will be undocked to-morrow. The Urgent steam-vessel is to be paid off all standing, and placed in the steam-basin. The Da3dalus, 19, Captain M'Quhae, was paid off at D , vonport yesterday. The captain and such of the officers and men who aro desirous of proceeding to Portsmouth and Woolwich, together with all the ma rines, will embark in the Hermes steam-vessel for con veyance. The Comus, 18, Commander D'Eyucourt, will be paid off at Sheerness on the 18th. The liincfsher was commissioned at Portsmouth on Wednesday evening by Commander Harvey, and her crew, with the exception of one or two vacancies pur posely kept open, are all entered. Neatly all the men are general service volunteers from Devonport, and are expected to arrive there this morning. She has been partially rigged by the seamen-riggers of the yard, so that she will be ready for sea by the 30th, and will take the mail, on the Ist proximo, to the coast of Africa. The Swift, 6, packet-brig, has been taken out of dock at Davenport. The Encounter, screw-sloop, has been rigged, under the superintendence of Captain Austin, C. 8., of the Blenheim, at Portsmouth. She has remarkably light lower masts and spars, but has very square yards. Her two pivot-guns have been mounted—namely, a ten•inch gun forward, of 95 cwt., and one of similar calibre aft, but lighter, weighing only 35 cwt.

Worsoit, FRIDAY.—The Queen and Prince Al bert, accompanied by her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians, walked this morning on the eastern terrace and sh-pes of the Castle. The Royal Family took their usual airings. Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians, attended by the Counter: de Hulst, Lady in Waiting, and Major de Moerk€rke, left the Castle at a quarter before one o'clock. The Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Al bert took leave of her Majesty at the grand entrance of the Castle. liis Excellency M. Van de Weyer also took his departure from the Castle to-day. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness de Speth, Mr. George Edward Anson, and Sir George Couper. The band of the 2d Life Guards attend during dinner. Her Majesty's private band will afterwards attend in the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester left town on Thursday for her residence in Richmond Park. The Postmaster• General had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Er. Ingham, Secretary and Comptroller-General to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, had also an interview yesterday with the Right Hon. Baronet at his official residence in Downing street. ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE.—The following distin guished persons have lately honoured this theatre with their company •—llis Royal Highness Prince Gcserge of Cambridge, the Marquis of Donegsl, I3aron Brunnow, tho Earl of Strathmore, the Earl and Countess For tescue, the Earl of Uxbridge, Lady Frances Gordon, Lord and Lady Fir zroy Sernerset, Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce, Viscount Mandoville, Viscount Cantilupe, Vis count Newport, Lord and Lady Dillon, Lord Clifden, Lady Charles Somerset, Lady Hope Vere, Lord Gard. ner, Lord Tenterden, Lord Forester, Lord Henry Len nox, Sir Watkins W. Wynn, Sir David Scott, Captain and Lady Ibbetson, E. Dtlafield, , Captain de Bathe, Sir George Beaumont, &c. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—A new romantic opera, the music by the celebrated composer, M. de Flotow, is an nounced to be produced at this theatre on Monday. The principal character is to be sustained by Mr. Charles 13raharn, his first appearance on any stage. He is said to possess a voice of exquisite sweetness, and very simi lar to that of his father's. We shall hail with pleasure the success of the young vocalist, and have no doubt that all the admirers of the veteran Braham will be present to witness his son's debut. THE SALE OF TIIE SURREY THEATIIE.—It is long since, with all the spectacles and extraordinary stage cfficts, for N%hich this theatre has been celebrated, the stage presented so singular an appearance as it does at present, crowded as it is with a most hetereogenous collection of buyers, idlers, and spectators, at the sale which is now ge.ing on. Mr. Priest I..sumcd the sale yesterday, when the scenery, wardrobes, &c., were offered, and, generally speaking, fetched good prices. The sale being remarkably well attended, the lots went off with considerable rapidity. Herr Redl, the popular director of music at Vaux- II:Ill-gardens, and at the Salle Valentino, Leicester square, has received front the members of the orchestra at the former place of amuFement an elegant gold mounted ivory baton, upon which is the following in scription:—" Presented to J. Redl, E , q., by the gentle men of the orchestra of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, as a token of esteem and respect.—September, 1848." LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. On Thursday the cumrnittze of this scciety gave a splendid banquet at the Loudon Tavern, as a tribute of respect to their conductor, Mr. Surman. After the usual loyal toasts, the Rev. George Roberts, in a speech of great ability, proposed the health of Mr. Sunman. which was received by the company in a manner which can leave no doubt of the confidence they place in that gentleman, and of their respect for his character and talent. The Rev. Charles Day and other gentlemen also addressed the meeting in eppseeriate speeches. The musical ar rangements were faction to the company, g.A, and appeared to give great satis late hour. who did not separate until a PEDESTRIANISM AT NOTTINGIIAM.—On Moe day last a race of 150 yards, for "01. a side, between John Handley, of N ott i ngham, and Joseph Robinson, alias Caunt's Pet," came off on Linby Common, in this county. It rained nearly the whole of the day, and pre vented many from witnessing the race. Considerable excitement p reva il ed in the town and neighbourhood since the match was made, many of the supposed " knowing on es " fancying that the speed and wind of Handley had left him since he had become " Boniface " of the Pheasant. Robinson was, therefore, predicted as winner, and six to five was laid on him at the commence ment of the match, which was reduced to level betting at the race, when a few "fivers," and a good sprinkling of her Majesty's portraita changed bands. Handley immediately went into training, determined, if possible, to take the shine off the " Pet," and, with the assistance of Charles Westhall, was in as fine condition as he could wish. Robinson was also in splendid order, and confi dently said, on meeting his opponent, " Jack, I ahall win to-day." All preliminaries being adjusted, the men proceeded to the scratch at a quarter past three, when, after a great deal of tedious dodging as to who should get the advantage, exhausting the patience of every one present, it was not until half-past six o'clock that they effectcdastart, which Robinson obtained by a good yard. Robinson soon increased the distance between them by another yard, and was two yards ahead when they had run half the distance. At this point Handley put on the steam, breasted his opponent at ten yards from the goal, and succeeded in making a most tremendous spring, cleverly winning by a bare half-yard. A more exciting race has not been witnessed in this neighbourhood for some time past. A SPORTING PADDY. —An Irishman from Shields, whose first name is Pat, and his second the surname of one of the most remarkable heroes of the late Chartist Convention, was on the course at Newcastle races with out a penny in his pocket, having expended the whole of his fortune in the purchase of a third•class ticket, which franked him from Tynemouth. Hearing the people betting on all sides, the brilliant thought flashed into his mind that ho might be richer, but could hardly be poorer, by laying a wager. " I may get a batin'," said he to himself, " if I lose, but the chance o' winning will be chape at that." So Pat looked round him for a victim, and caught a pitman. A sovereign was wagered. The pitman lost—Pat won. Nuw the pitman, like Pat, was a speculator; he had little to lose, but he thought there was !flitch to win. Luckily s however, for the Irishman, the man had eighteenpence and an old watch—a family heirloom. Pat looked as cool as a cucumber when the money and timepiece were produced. " Now," said he, " you're a nice gintleman, you are, to bet a sovereign wid only highteenpence in your pocket, and an hould watch; but as times is hard I'll let you off with thim." The watch and the money having changed hands, the winner threw in a parting word of advice to his friend, " not to be after bitin' again in that ungintlemanly man ner." He thn walked jauntily across the course, with money in his pocket, and an old sixpence, a " nanny num," and watch key dangling in front of him, at the end of a steel chain.—Gatesheal Observer. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE.—The cotton cut-up stocking branch has still further retrograded, and there are many hands %vendee . employment ; this, however, is generally expected at this season of the year. The re duction of the wages in the wrought hose branch, con templated by two of the Derbyshire hosiers, is aban doned, the front tshonn by the stockingers giving them just cause to be doubtful of the result, as great numbers of these workmen can turn themselves to agricultural and other labori els employments. The silk glove turn out has midid in the csmplete humiliation of the hands, who, one by one, went to beg for work upon any terms. The silk knotted branch still keeps in a fair condition, notwithstanding the inferior articles made both as regards silk and workmanship. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch, the principal manufacture of the town of Nottiegs ham, is but dull, and a few hands are in want of employ ment. The bobbin net trade is rapidly improving; foreign houses are evidently preparing for a more extended market, but although Leipsic feir has been held more than a"week, yet but few goods have been shipped either fur Hanahurgh or Bremen ; but from all we can learn, there will shortly be a rich harvest to reap not only in Germany but in France, the latter of which, in despite of their prohibitions, must look to England for their sup ply of machine lace in future. The traverse warp branch has suddenly and unexpectedly revived, an d most o f t h e machines are put on long hours; the public as well as the buyers have discovered the excellence of the articles made from these machines ; they complain bitterly, however, of the spurious imitations made from the Lavers' machines. The warp lace branches, both silk and cotton, very slowly improve. The Leicester trade remains in every particular about the same as last week. At present all the hands appear to be fully employed, nor is there any fear of immediate diminution of employ ment.—Nottingham Journal. "A GREAT FACT."—It is a notorious fact that the assessed taxes' officers experience great difficulty and much annoyance in obtaining returns from many mili tary gentlemen of their horses, &c., and also in getting from them the duty when payable. It is true there are exceptions, those who act most honourably, but it is equally true that there are those whose conduct is the reverse. Now it is too bad in those who are receiving pay from Government to give trouble and annoyance in paying what is justly due ::from them towards the revenue. Whenever such conduct is known to a Go vernment office it ought to be strongly taken notice of; that would soon stop the grievance.—From a Corres pondent. DISINFECTING PROPERTY OF COFFEE.—Coffee is one of the most powerful means not only of rendering animal and vegetable effluvia innocuous, but of actually destroying them. A room in which meat in an ad vanced degree of decomposition had been kept for some time was instantly deprived of all smell on an open coffee roaster being carried through it, containing a pound of coffee newly roasted. In another room, exposed to the effluvium occasioned by the clearing out of a dung pit, so that sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia in great quantities could be chemically de tected, the stench was completely removed within half a minute on the employment of three ounces of fresh roasted coffee, whilst the other parts of the house were permanently cleared , of the same smell by being simply traversed with the coffee-roaster, although the cleansing of the d ung - pitcontinued for several hours after. Even the smell of musk or eastoreurn, which cannot be overpowered by any other substance, is completely dis pelled by the fumes of coffee ; and the same applies to the odours of assafoxida. It was remarked, however, that in general, animal effluvia aro more readily affected by it than vegetable. That here an acidal neutralization, and not a mere envelopment of matter, takes place, is shown from this—th at t h e first fumes of the coffee are imperceptible, and continue so until a point of saturation so to speak is reached, whereupon the noxious smell dis appears, and that of the :coffee predominates. The reverse happens with other aromatic vapours; and even with acetic acide and chlorine. Here both co exist until the one completely predominates. The simplest form in which to use it against contagious matted is in powder. The well dried raw bean is to be pounded in a mortar, and to be strewed over a moderately heated iron plate until the powder assumes a dark brown tint. Coif , e acid and the empyreumatic coffee oil act more; readily in a very minute quantity.--. London Medical Gazette. BOOTY LEFT BEUIND.—On Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, a dwelling-house on the Marine -parade, Dover, in the cccupation of Captain Sir Thomas Trigge, was forcibly entered without creating , a ny alarm. The thieves suc cee d e d i n pac ki ng up valu ables to the amount of 1,0001 . i n a hat, when, it is . . sup posed, they were disturbed, as they decamped, leavi ng their valuable bootybehind, and taking only 71. in gold and somo silver.

Should the wind continue and the waters subs i ded. north-east, a muc h hig her tido is anticipated thi s after noon. FATAL E FFECTS or PROSPERITY.—On F r id ay last a woman named Taylor , whose husb and lately came into possession of some property, inqui re d f or lodg ings at Mrs. Lester's, a t Ely, and b egge d that she might stay there for the night. She retired to bed at eight o'clock, and asked for a little water, as she was sure she would require it in the night. A Mrs. Cook and her husband slept in the same room; and in the morning the Cooks co mp l a i ned that the new kelizer made a strang e noise in the night; where upon Mrs. Lester accompanied then to the bedside, and symptoms were observed w hich induced them to send for Dr. Pearson, who applied an antidot e for poison, but at eight o'clock' the woman died. An inquest was held on Saturday, and adjourned until Tuesday evening, when it appeared that deceased's hu sband had be en a poor labour ing man, lately residing at Little Downhana, and had been with his wife as com fortable as humble me a n s would allow; but, coming in to p ossessio n of property, he took to dissipation, ruined himself, sold all hi s e ff ects , and deserted his wife. The poor woman had been en deavouring to find her husband, but all her wanderings for that purpose being fruitless, life became a burden to her, and upon examination of her stomach upwards of two ounces of laudanum were found in it. A verdict was returned to the effect that she had destroyed herself under mental distraction. HEALTH OF TOWNS. --Steps are being taken for the adoption of tho salutary provisions of th e H ealth of Towns Bill at Cambridge and Ely, and also at Wor cester and Birmingham.—Builder. A Nantes journal states that there is a marked improvement in the trade of that town, particularly in the tanneries, which is one of its principal branches of industry.

He won in a canter, and immediately advanced to 10 to 1 for the Derby. The Cambridgeshire was touched upon in the morning, and Dacia backed freely at 5 to 1, and The Cur at 10 to 1.

THE LATE CHEAP TRIP TO NEWMARKET. ha train of the Eastern Counties Railway, that conveyed second class pa s sengers at six shillings each, and third class ut four shillings, to Newmarket and back (a dis tance of 130 miles), on Tuesday last, was composed of 31 carriages; each containing nearly 50 persons, and the total numb; r conveyed was 1,537. Two of the company's most powerful engines drew it at the average rate of 23 miles an hour, including several stoppages. The expo rimeet has been so successful, that the directors have determined to repeat it at the Houghton Meeting, THE CESAREWITCW—The result of this race reached our office in fifteen minutes from the time of running, althoegh the distance from the winning ch a i r to the telegraph station, nearly two miles, was performed by horse Express. SEAMEN HOSPITAL. Yesterday the quarterly mecting of the governors of this institution was h e l d at tl.e °evil, 74, King William street; John 'Wild, E, in the chair. The secretary read the report of the pro ceedings of the committee. In addition to taking steps to keep the Dreadnought, hospital-ship, in repair, the committee bad addressed a letter to the Secretary to the Admiralty, offering to take charge of cholera patients attacked on their arrival in this country from places where the epidemic was raging. This offer was accepted, and the thanks of the Admiralty forwarded to the so ciety. The report was received and adopted, and the meeting separated. HULL CORN MARKET.--A meeting of about twenty , of the corn-merchants, commission-agents, and brokers was held in a small room in Eigh- s t reet, on Thursday evening, to promote the holding of a market on Thurs days for the sale of grain, in addition to the one now held on Tuesdays, %hen it was almost unanimously de cided to memorialise the Town Council on the subject, asking for the appointment of a market. The inutility of two markets a week in Hull for the sale of grain might easily be made apparent, but the existing charter precluding a compliancy is ith the wishes of the meeting, it would be a waste of time to go into the matter. • - bitt - i; - ielbrit to fle FRANCE. The trial of the action for defamation, brought by M. Ledru Rollin against several persons, and the particulars of which have been given in the Messenger, came on yesterday befrre the Tribunal of Correctional Police. On the first charge, against M. Canoby, a verdict of atquittrl was pronounced; the second charge, against MM. Bignon, sen. and jun., Paullin, Trouessart, Basset, and Laroche, on the ground that M. Ledru Rollin had laid a previous complaint be fore a Juge d'lnstruction, and which was in the course of inquiry; and, as regards MM. Bassett and Laroche, the defamation being against M. Ledru Rollin in his character of a public functionary, and therefore not within the range of a correctional tribunal. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. B.—" The Diet, by virtue of a reso lution passed yesterday, has prohibited the transport 2, all military troops by railway. In order, however, to render practicable the transmission of provisions to the city, as the usual road is rendered impassable by the damage done to the bridges, the Diet is induced, for the attainment of the above specific object, to em power the railway directors to grant the transport of provisions, and for this purpose to repair and make passable the railway from Vienna. " The Director of the Diet, " FRANZ SMOLK A, "First Vice-President. " Oct. 7, 1848." RUSSIA. FAO2II THE POLISH FRONTIEII..—The private cor respondent of the Voss Zeitung says :—" The incor rectness in the statement inserted in many of the German newspapers, that by the new Polish political code the property of political offenders is to go to their relations, and not to the fiscars, as heretofore, is unhappily of constant experience, inasmuch as almost every week cases occur in which the property of political offenders is confiscated by the fiscars. Confiscations, indeed, are now again the order of the day, and it seems as if they would never cease. A new Imperial ukase commands that after the Ist of January, 1849, the weights and measures used in the empire are to be adopted throughout the kingdom of Poland, both in public and private. The Stadtholder has issued a command to all the Government authorities, by which it is strictly enjoined upon the possessors of estates, that they shall no longer employ their peasants in the feudal service on the mornings of Sundays and holidays. The number of troops stationed in Poland is being gradually decreased, and very large reductions are to be gradually made.— Wiener Zetung, Oct. 8. THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES. MOLDAVIA FRONTIER, SkPT. 25.—1 t has been affirmed here, during the last few days, that through the mediation of France and England, Lombardy is to be ceded to Italy, and to be compensated by Wallachia, as far as the Sereth ; Moldavia, 'as far as the Sereth, is to fall to Ru , sia. General Luder has received orders from the Emperor N icholas to enter Wallachia, and cross the frontier at Iftkscham on the 27th, tv ith 30,000 men. We hoar from Bucharest that the Wallachians took the book of the Nobles and I?eglement Organigue on a bier to the Metropolitan, who was obliged to pro nounce a curse over it, alter which the bier was taken away in procession and publicly burnt with great ceremony. In all the Isprawnitschien circles the same cere mony took place, and all the official Acts of the country were consigned to the flames. The Turks are still standing quiet in Grierschew, being probably afraid of attacking single-banded so large a body, as the Waliachian army consists of 36,000 men. These demonstrations of our sovereign brethren may have given rise to the intervention of Russia. After these proceedings, the government of Count Michael Stoudza will probably not be of long continuance.—Allgoneine Zeitung, Oct. 9. PIEMION T. The Opinione of Turin, of the 9th, states from Alexandria, Bth instant, that the warlike preparations are proceeding with more alacrity than ever. The fortifications are nearly completed. At Turin on the 9th a grand review of the National Guard was held where the King was greeted with long cries of " Death to the Austrians! Long live Charles Albert, King of Upper Italy !" STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OC E. 13.—Only a very limited business has been done in foreign wools during the past week, prices being without apparent variation. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, OCT. 13. Sales have been quiet this week, and have been limited to the immediate wants of the manufacturers. We do not quote any change in prices. LErDs.—There has. been about an average quantity of heavy winter goods sold at the Cloth Hall since this day week, but almost every other description of goods have been duller than for some time. Prices rule steady. There has also been a fair quantity of goods sold in the warehouses, the late period of the season considered, but the principal demand is by the drapers from the country. The shipping trade has rather fallen off this week when compared with what it has been doing lately. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAT.—There is no change for the better in the wool market, and prices for all descriptious continue unaltered. The quota tions from the country show that farmers are not more disposed to make sales except at remunerating rates to themselves, which would not meet those cur rent in this market. Yarn—There is a shade more doing in the yarn market, and for some sorts a small advance in price has been obtained. Piece—There is no alteration in the piece market, either in price or demand, the manufacturers are still working to order and stocks are low. MANCHESTER, FRaIDAY MORNING —During the whole of the last week cur cloth market has been in a languid sickly state, with a number of needy sellers pressirg goods on the market, which has caused a par tial, though not a general decline on most kinds of goods. If there is any exception, it is in low shirt ings adapted for the India and China markets. Do mestics for home use are not so brisk as might have been expected, considering the low figure at which they might be purchased. There are very extensive orders for the United States, and, from last advices, likely to continue for some time to come. The silk trade continues very buoyant, and our printers mode- rately busy. The fustian branch continues steady, but prices low. Yarns without much change ; if any, the buyer has the advantage. LEICESTER.—We have no alteration to report, a steady trade is doing in all branches. Workmen are all well employed, and as a corollary, Chartist agita tion is defunct. THE N AVY. (From the Unitcd Service Gazette of this day.) The gallant, distinguished, and highlprtspected Vice- Admiral of the United Kingdom, Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin, G.C.8., has paid si visit to Portsmouth during the past week, on account of the arrival of his younger son, the Captain of the Grampus, from the Pa cific. Sir Byam has now the great satisfaction of seeing two of his famil) now commanding two of the finest ships of their class in the navy, and who are now at Portsmouth, namely, Captain William Fanshaw Martin (18:24), of the Prince Rogent, 90, and Captain Henry Byam Martin, C.B. (1827), of th. 3 Grampus, 50. Sir Byam has been etaying at Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott's. STHE LIEUTENANTS' LlST.—Another lieutenant's out pension of Greenwich Hospital has become vacant by the death of retired Commander Wharton. By previous deaths Lieutenants Curtis, Reid, and Robert Barker, and E. G. Palmer (1809), have succeeded to the seven shillings a day halt-pay list, and now, by the decease of Retired Comminders Wharton and Bissett, Lieutenants Charles Grantham and Henry Mason become entitled to seven shillings per diem half pay; and since the " Navy List" has been published the following have become en titled to be placed on the half-pay list of six shillings per diem:—Lieutenants David Gain Davies, John Ellis Knight, John George Francillon, James Reynolds, and Francis Harris (1815). A NAVAL VETERAN.—Among the octogenarian offi cers of the Navy is Captain John Simpson (seniority 1809), who is iu his eighty-third year, and in the full possession of his mental and physical faculties. This officer went to sea at a very early age, but was after wards placed in the Upper School of Greenwich, which he left, having undergone the regular educational course, in 1781, being bound out as an apprentice to Captain Robert Man, afterwards Admiral Men. After long and active service, in the course of which he served as Cap tain to three fig officers, Lord Gardner, Sir Richard Bickerton, and Sir Graham Moore, he was appointed a Captain of Greenwich Hospital, iu which he is the Se nior Captain, having belonged to the Royal Navy for a period of seventy years. TUE COAST OF AFRICA.—The Cyclops, it is under stood, has taken out to the coast of Africa an offer on the part of the Admiralty to Commodore Sir C. Hotharn, to return to England if he should so prefer. It is re ported that the lion. Captain D•enm>an will ultimately succeed to the command of the Coast Squadron. It is quite time that this important appointment should be entrusted to an officer who, having served success fully as a subordinate on the coast of Africa, has acquired the necessary experience for efficiently superintending and directing the operations of a squadron there. It was altogeth,r a ini. , take to appoint au officer like Sir C. Helium to such a service. Captains Butterfield, Adams, Denman, &c., would do double the work, and with more satisfaction to every one. Tut: PACIFIC STATION.--A private letter from Callao, says, the Commander-in-Chief; Rear-Admiral Hereby, left Callao in the Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Hen derson, for Valparaiso, Aug. 7th. The Admiral's flag ship Asir, 84, Captain Stopford, was at Payta, and was expected to join him at Valparaiso by the end of Sep , tember. It is reported that the able and efficient Master of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Mr. John M‘Donald, v.lll be appointed Assistant-Master Attendant at Ports mouth Dockyard, vice Bellamy, promoted to Woolwich, Mr. Flynn, who is acting at the present time, returning to his old ship the Illustrious ; and that Mr. John Penn, now Master of the Illustrious, and late of the Coiling weed, will succeed Mr. M'i)onald as Master of the royal yacht. The Admiralty have signified their approval of the erection of a new Battery at Sheerness, to flank the Queenborough embankment. The Ordnance Depart ment is to supply the funds for its construction. TSIE IRISH POLITICAL CONVICTS.—The Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. li. Hall, has proceeded from Waterford to Cork, and there awaits orders to receive on board the Irish political convicts fur transportation to any place " beyond the seas." The Admiralty have ordered their solicitor to take legal proceedings against the Waterman's Steam Packet Company, for the purpose of ejecting them from a lodg ment which they have for some time allocated to them selves at a place called the Grove, Woolwich. - FOREIGNERS VISITING OUR Docarenns.--The Ad miralty invariably give permission to every foreigner, who visits England, to take the run of all our dock yards ; but, during the past week, not only have they ordered Lieutenants Lymnigsted and Sasse, of the Swedish Royal Navy, to be shown over the various establishments, but they are to be allowed to take notes on the spot of anything they may inspect. This is rather too good-natured even fur kind and silly John Bull. THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSO- CIATION. (From the Liverpoo/Marcury of yesterday.) The Financial Retorm 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 Rays, 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. Trevelyaa, whose official position would give him ample opportunities of forming a trustworthy opinion :—" I t hi n k th ere is a great deal o f wor k in the 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 trans 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 (Aces. The common practice of snaking 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, 'hen 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 cf 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 uniform rate of payment for 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 Miscellaneous 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 ... 500 Counsel to the Spcukcr ... 1500 ills Clerk ... . . ... 150 Examiner of Standing Orders 1750 Taxing Officer ... 1000 Librarian 1000 Assistant Librarian 250 Messenger ... 140 Four Vote office Clerks, 8001, 300/., 180/., 1204 1400 Four Clerks at the Table, 3,5001., 2,500/., 1,000/., 100/. 7200 Seven Public Bill Clerks, 1,900/., 8004 8001, 500/., 4001, 300/., 200/. ... 4900 Seven Journal Clerks, 1,349/., 1,0301., 1,0001., 928/., 5911., 339/., 2041. ... 5.4414 Also for extra woik 1,0901.

At the Vote-office a register is kept of all pacers printed by order of the House. The journal clerks compile a journal of the proceeding. The engrossing clerks make copies of Bills on parchment.

BRISTOL SI:G:11 MARKET, OCT. 13.—The market has been extremely flat the whole of the week, and the transactions scarcely reach one hundred hogsheads West India, at rather easier rates. In foreign no sales are reported.—Bristol Mercury. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The sup plies this week are again large of Wheat, and good of other grain. There it not much animation in the de mand for Wheat to-day, and new declines ls. per quar ter. Old fetches last week's prices. Oats and Shelling are the turn cheaper. Burley sells slowly at late rates. Beans are in retail demand without alteration in valise. REPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING. We hear of no movement to bring forward a Liberal candi date for the West Riding: but a pretty general rumour prevails that Mr. James Brown, of Harshills, Leeds, and of Rossington, will b 3 the candidate. Mr. Brown is a Whig and a Free Trader; he is decided friend of the Church and the Government aid to Education, but declares himself opposed to the endowment of any other Church. He was the unsuccessful candidate for Hull at the last Election.—Leeds Mercury. Mr. Green and his companions descended safely on Monday morning, about 60 o'clock, near Vichy, in the department of the Allier, about 90 leagues from Paris. After having disappeared on Sundry afternoon in the direction of Corbei), the balloon continued its course over the plains of ihe Sologne and the forests of the Nivernais. During fhe night Mr. Green kept at but a little distance from the earth, and more than once shots were fired at the helicon by the peasants, who probably knew nothing of aerostatic navigation. At last, when daylight had well set in, Mr. Green descended ad stated above, and was most hospitably received. NOVEL GIRDERS.—Very ccnsiderable additions and alterations, at a large cost, are being made at Middlesex Hospital. In the course of the works acme girders have been put up, the arrangement of a working man, J. Alderson, which deserve illustration. The mum point in the arrangement is the introduction of a continuous thin wrought-iron tension-band. The truss is formed of oak, secured at the foot to the tension-band, and has at each side a flitch of deal twelve inches by four inches, the whole very ingeniously strapped and bolted together. The span of the girder is twenty-seven feet six inches, and the height of it in the centre twenty-two inches. Wo are told that they were tested by means of the hydraulic press. When the pressure was raised to n i ne tons two cwt., the deflection was l inches. The pecs. sure being taken oil; they sprang back to their position. The same principle has been applied to brick arches where there is no abutment, and they are in:ended to carry landings, Two pieces of stone are introduced to form abutments, and these are bound together by a thin wrought-iron band.—Builder. i < ~•:,.
