MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. During last week the arrivals of English, Wheat for Our market, c oas t w i se as we ll as b y l an d carr i age , were considerablyt on the increase, and somewhat large, the 11 " of year considered. Of all other articles of home Produce, thereceipts were very small; and Seotl fo and sc a r ce ly an y gra i n cone to hand. The r eign imports were. however, ext• nsive, viz., 29,993 q u arters 01 Wh eat; 6 , 469 di tto o f B ar l ey; 22,199 ditto thaSt 900 ditt o of Beami 1,901 ditto of Peas; 932 auto ot 'fares ; 2,650 ditto of Linseed; 168 ditto of Rape seed; 21 ditto of Mustardsced; 9 87 ditto of sundry seeds; and 2,772 sacks of flour. From Essex, Kent, and Cam. fre s h the quantity o Engli:h Wheat received re s h up this morning—nearl f y the whole being of the Present year's growth, and in improved condition—was b 0" d; hence the stands were well filled with samples of both red and white, a large number of which were left ehrr from Friday. Owing to the very favourable all a k "ge the weather for harvest work, the demand tor a dsd s of Wheat of home produce was y 4 : , at a d ec li ne in the quotations of Monday last of from I ,„ t : ', 55 Per quarter.

The Town Council have refused to sanction the ap pointment of Mr. Hibburd as starter, on the ground that no complaint had been made to them of the inefficiency of Mr. Birley, who, it appears, is fortunate enough to have met with the approval of Lords G. Bentinck and Rancliffe. The policy of interfering with the stewards in the exercise of a legitimate authority, may be called in question, especially as the appointment was made at the request of several gentlemen interested in Doncaster Races (1. e., the owners of race-horses), and without put- ting the Corporation to any additional expense. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,- " Now comes apace the evening of the year, With all its sunset glories spread around." " Fair Hope, the season to the turfite ytelds— Large stakes, rich handicaps, and sporting fields." The autumnal racing campaign of Surplice's year com mences with the meeting at Warwick on Tuesday next, and will be brought to a conclusion on or about the 28th of October, that being the last day in the Newmarket Houghton week; this campaign of eight weeks it is m) intention to to take a " bird's eye view" of, with a peep at the leading stakes of '49, so as in some measure to dispel the mists of futurity, and give your sporting readers the benefit of a telescopic glance through the lens of my judgment at the destinies of the crack stakes of '4B and '49, for " Such comprehensive views the Spirit takes, That in a few short minutes—" " The scene, With all its pleasures and its pains," Of many a well earned triumph shall my anticipation before your mind's eye lay. To begin with the beginning, for the Leamington Stakes at Warwick on Tuesday, a small field of about six will will be brought to the post, probably consisting of Footstool, The Cur, Yardley, Ulysses, Sylvan, and Doctrine, to which might be added Pillage, Pottinger. Columbus, and Remembrance; should the later start I see nothing to beat him, in his absence the race, I pre sumo, will come off, thus: — Footstool (Butler) or Sylvan (Fenn) Ulysses (Ryder) ... ••• ••• The Cur (Rogers) ..• ••• ••• Yardley (Whitehouse) ... ••• Doctrine (Pearl) ..• ••• •• • The Castle Park Stakes to the Iron Duke or The Arab. The Great Warwickshire Stakes has twelve nominations, but nothing good enough to interfere with Shylock's chance; The Great Western may possibly run second. The Warwick Cup to the Hero or Pyrrhus whichever the stable may please to start, Ellerdale second. At Doncaster, for the Champagne Stakes, Philippa, ... 1 ... 2 the victress of Borneo, will meet the Flying Dutchin - an and Honeycomb; a good race may be expected between be trio, and it is just possible the " Byer" may have to strike his colours. For the St. Leger from eight to twelve are expected to run, to be selected from the following :—*Besborough; *Backbiter, Springy Jack, *Voyager, Justice to Ire land, *Big Jerry, Flatcatcher, Assault, *Beverlac, L'lL rondelle colt, *King of Kildare, Aspasia, *Blaze, *Ban; lit, Surplice, Loadstone, *The Stinger, Canezou, *M rasvhino, and *Fern. Those marked thus * are very doubtful starters. Mr. Green's colours with Assault or Flatcatcher will be about the mark this time, with Surplice and Canezon in attendance. Justice to Ireland it is dangerous to meddle with either pro or con, and Springy Jack I am afraid will find the distance too long for him. The rest possess no attractions for me, and are, in my opinion, without a chance. _ _ _ I attach my anticipated results of the Autumna stakes : STAKE. PROBABLE WINNER. Great Yorkshire Handicap—Executor or Vampyre. . Pack- hill—Lady Masham or Canezou. Doncaster Cup—Van Tromp. Two-year old—Elthiron or the Flying Dutchman. FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. Buckenham—Colonel Peel. Grand Duke Michael—Surplice or Flatcatcher. Hopeful—lone, Glauca, or Czarina. Granby—Farthingale or Borneo. Rutland—Nina or Ploughboy. First Triennial—Tadmor 1, Elthiron 2, Honeycomb 3. SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. Royal—Surplice 1, Glendower, 2. Clearwell—lndus , Elthiron, or Sister to Arkwright. Bedford—Little Frank or Puffy. B ikreen tb d y— erg G as l t a_uc E a l o u r ii S ro is n t , e l r n i d o u A s, r o k r w i r l i o g n h e t icomb. Cesarewitch—Justice to Ireland, Gardenia ; Cossack or Remembrance. HOUGHTON MEETING. Criterion—Elthiron, Nina, or Philippa. Cambridgeshire—Glendower, Planet, The Fidler, or. Conyngham. I can at present give no very decided opinion on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, but will do so at the earliest opportunity. In 1849, for the 2,000 Guineas, Nunnykirk, Honey comb, Uriel, and Indus, will be rattling favourites, and between them lays the race. Mr. Merry will he in great force for the Chester Cup; and as for the Derby, on Colonel Peel's Tadmor, by lon, out of Palmyra, I will stake my reputation as a prophet, and with Shakspere exclaim, " I will not change my horse fur any that Treads but upon four pasterns." The Emma cult, Old Dan Tucker, Flying Dutchman, Elthiron, Saucy Dick, Honeycomb, Nunnykirk, Indus, Uriel, and Osterley are respectively worth an invest ment. For the Oaks, Lord Chesterfield, Colonels Peel and Anson, and Mr. Irwin, respectively own a clipper, and from their stables the winner I expect will spring. As I've got so far a head of time, I may as well in conclusion state that Lord Clifden possesses in Sidus, Pontifex, and Narbonne, three very promising yearlings for the 2,000 Guineas, Derby, and Oaks of 1850. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Monday morning. DERBY SWEEPS.—On Saturday, at a petty ses sions held before the magistrates for the district of St. Anne's, Westminster, J. Whiskin, Esq., in the chair, the proceedings which took place in the House of Com mons, with reference to Derby sweeps, came before the consideration of the bench.—The Chairman (Mr. Whiskin) said that he had ttiat morning read with some surprise and regr e t th e couhe which the Attorney-Ge neral had thought proper to pursue with regard to Derby sweeps. It was said by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that he did not intend to interfere further than to declare that the advertising such sweeps in the newspapers would henceforth be considered an illegal act. He (the chairman) could not see what difference there could be between permitting parties having sweeps held at their houses to publish and circulate bills announcing such fact and allowing them to make use of the advertisement columns of a newspaper for the same purpose. In his (the chairmen's) opinion, all kinds of sweeps were bad in principle, seeing that they led to results of a mischievous character to many families, the heads of which speculated their shilling in the hopes of obtaining considerable amounts without in dustrial efforts. He did think that, as magistrates, it was their duty to do all they could in order to suppress these " sweeps," and he must repeat his regret that the Government had not acted more firmly in the matter. If the Attorney-General was of opinion that the measure he had proposed would lead to the suppression of these clubs, he (the chairman) was of a different opinion; he thought it would lead more probably to an increase or evil.—Mr. v th it e ablyproveto H. bßeostehconsidered , tha h t is suc p h ar w t, ou h ld e ine vitably sanctioned these kind of lotteries, nor would he Ido so. The Attorney-General was certainly wrong ix not putting down these gambling speculations at once.— • After the transaction of the customary business thei?eech broke up. NEW MEMBERS. The following Members took the oaths and their seats:—Lord Edward Howard, for Horshatn, .and Mr. Harris, for Leicester; Mr. Ellis made the usual affir mation on taking his seat for the same place, he being a member of the society of Friends; CHELTEN'IIAM ELECTION. Sir W. CLAY moved that the evidence taken before this Committee be printed. He then proceeded to de fend the Committee from the aspersions cast upon him self and the Committee. He said, in consequence of the rema: ks made upon him in the speech an - . Craven Berke ley, he had placed himself in the hands of a friend of un doubted honour, but on mature consideration, consider ing that he had been sitting as the Chairman of the Committee in a judicial capacity, and that it would be better to leave the aspersions to the decision of the House—to those who had best known hima—(Hear, hear) —he had felt it his duty to take no further step in the matter. The Committee, in both its deci sions, was unanimous —(Hear, hear)—and if any one had come into the room during their deliberations, he would have found that the politics of either party was not made matter of consideration.—(Bear, hear.) It was most important to the House that the decisions of its Committees should be come to fearlissly ; but if they were to be menaced in the way he and the Committee had been in this case, Members would hesitate to sit on such tribunals. If Mr. C. Berkeley had been guilty of a breach of the privileges of the House, he had no wish to take any vindictive step against him, because some allowance must be made for the painful position in which he was placed, and the natural excitement in which Mr. Berkeley no doubt laboured in addressing a public assembly; . but he trusted the House would express, by a resolu tion, its opinion of the way in which the C o mmittee had discharged its duty in this matter.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. HAY defended the Committee, and said he had advised his Hon. Friend not to seek privatere dress for what was nothing less than an aspersion upon the character of the House. Lord PALMERSTON considered it would be suf ficient if the House were to express its general opinicn that the Committee had properly discharged its duty. He was sure any real friend of Mr. Craven Berkeley would inform him that his conduct, which no doubt took place in a moment of excitement, was an entire contradiction of not only the ordinary affairs of life, but in direct contradiction of the principles by which the House was actuated.—(Hear, hear.) Gil at public injury would result if me►ubers of Committees of the House were compelled to discharge their onerous duties under the influence of fear. SIR THOMAS TURTON. In reply to Mr. HENLEY, Mr. WILSON stated that Sir Thomas Turton was appointed by the Chief Justice of India, that he gave security for 10,000/, which he regretted was inadequate to cover his liabilities. It appeared that the chief surety was entirely free from blame. The subject now engaged the earnest attention of the proper department. Mr. HUME contended that much blame existed, ince tl.is was the second time Sir Thomas Turton had failed, only this time the amount of his liabilities was greater. Would the papers be laid on the table ? Mr. WILSON said there ultimately would be no objection. SUPERANNUATION OF OFFICERS IN GOVERNMENT OFFICES. Mr. HUME said next session he should move for a Committee to inquire into the administration of super annuation in the several Government offices, and that all the public estimates be laid on the table within six weeks atta. the sitting of Parliament. SAVING& BANKS (DUBLIN). Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice of his intention, early in the next session, to move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the cause of the failure of the St. Peter's Savings' Bank. Dublin. JUSTICE WILLS. Mr. HAWES, in answer to a question from Mr. Hamilton, said there was nothing against the personal honour of Mr. Ju,tice Wills, that caused his removal from the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. ARMY (IRELAND). Lord G. BENTINCK postponed asking the following question, of which he had given notice, in consequence of the absence of Sir G. Grey—to ask the Secretary forlre-- land, the number of stand of fire-arms, pikes, and other weapons, powder, and ammunition seized by or surren dered to the Government of Ireland, subsequent to the passing of tho Act, 11 Vict., c. 2, to the latest period of which Government had information. (LEFT SITTING.) SOCIETE FRANCAISE DE BIENFAISANCE.—Yester day a meeting of the members of the above institution was held at No. 10, Duke-street, Portland-place, Mons. Vouillon, president, in the chair. In consequence of the prevailing commercial distress, the society's receipts during the past year were considerably below the average, amounting only to 6351. 10s. 2d. The com mittee, therefore, in order to form a wider basis for their operations, proposed that, instead of members' subscrip tions being a guinea per annum, it should be reduced to 55., and that of committeemen from five guineas to one. The proposition was discussed at considerable length, and referred to a future meeting. The balance of cash in hand, after deducting the year's expenses, amounts to 34/. is., and the standing " reserve fund" to 1,142/. 6s. Id. FINE ARTS. 'The bronze statue of Lord Auckland, by Weekes, designed for erection on the Esplanade at Calcutta, was, with its granite pedestal, shipped in the Lyndon Docks a few days since in the ship Marlborough.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday : In the sitting of theQAs•:embly on Feiday the decree of the Provisional Government abolishing imprisonment for debt was abrogated by a majority of 456 to 237 votes. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the corn trade in the different markets of France, from which it appears that the hectol , tre of wheat sold on en average, for 17f. 26c. at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ; 15f. 36c. at Murans and Bordeaux ; 15f. 92c. at St. Laurent and Le Grand Lemps ; 16f. 39c. at Mulhause►► and Strasburg ; 14f. 4c. at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Sois sons, Paris, and Rouen ; 14f. 9c. at Saumur and Nantes; 11f. 87c. at Metz, Verdun, and Charleville ; 16f. 16c. at St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and Hennebon. The Moniteur du Soir adduces facts to prove that Austria must place no reliance on the Emperor of RUSSIA in the event of a war, the CZAR having expressed himself to Generrl CAVAIGNAC in terms so friendly as to amount to an assurance of his neutrality in the event of a conflict between France and Germany. " The Executive Government," says the Democratic Pacifique, " yesterday gave orders for the formation near Paris of two active divisions, which are destined to move to Metz and Strasburg." A journal of Blois announces that Sir Henry Bulwer passed through that city on the 30th ult., on his way to Italy. We read in the Journal de l' Oise, published at Beau vais:—" A piece of news is current here, which, though it needs confirmation, is too important to be passed over in silence. It is said that the prosecutions arising out of the affair of May 15, the invasion of the National As sembly, are to be tried before the Court of Assizes for the Oise. The following is the manner in which this is exnlained. The Government, being unwilling that these trials should take place at Paris, where they might occa sion fresh disturbances, application will be made to the Court of Cassation to send them before a Court of Assizes. The Government is said to be wavering between our town, Versailles, and Laon. Versailles is thought to be too near Paris, and Laon too far off, so that Beauvais alone remains. The distance from this town by the rail road is sufficiently short to enable the Government to re ceive prompt intelligence of any serious incidents that may occur in the course of the trials, and sufficiently long to prevent any coup de main. It is added that a camp of 10,000 men will be formed on the plains which surround the-town." the indulgence, and that-the statement of their rank and 1 length of service is accurate; and provided, if they be long to the navy, they produce their letter of leave of absence from the Admiralty. " 5. Military chaplains, commissariat officers, and officers of any of the civil departments of the army ; pursers, chaplains, midshipmen, warrant officers of every description, and officers of any of the civil departments of the navy, are not allowed any privileges in respect of land. Although members of these classes may have been admitted formerly, and under different circumstances, they are now excluded. Mates in the royal navy rank with ensigns in the army, and mates of three years' standing with lieutenants in tho army, and are entitled respectively to corresponding privileges in the acquisition of lands. " 6. Gentlemen who have ceased to belong to her Majesty's service, are not allowed the advantages to which they were entitled while in the army or navy. This rule, however, is not to affect officers who desire to quit the service for the express purpose of settling in the colonies ; it is only required that when they re sign their commissions, they should apply for a certifi cate from the Commander•in-Chief, or from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, or from the Master- General of the Ordnance, that they do so with the view of emigrating, and such certificate, if produced to the Governor of any of the colonies before-mentioned within one year from its date, but not otherwise, will be a sufficient warrant for allowing the bearer the same advantages as officers who are still in her Ma jesty's service. " 7. An actual residence of two years in the colony must he proved before the titles can be granted, except in cases in which death may have occurred before the ex piration of that period. "8. For the convenience of officers, the following heads are subjoined of the rules for the sale of laud in the Australian settlements : " All lands are disposed of by sale alone, and must have been once at least exposed to public auction. " The lowest upset price is not less than 1/. per acre. but the Government has power to raise the same by proclamation, though not again to reduce it. " The lands are distinguished into three different classes, viz., town lots, suburban lots, and country lots. " Upon town and suburban lots, as well as upon a proportion not exceeding one-tenth of the whole of the country lots offered for sale at any auction, the Go vernor has the power of naming a higher than the ge neral or lowest upset price; these last to be designated special country lots.' " Town and suburban lots are in no case disposed of, except by public auction, but country lots, which have already been put up to public auction, and not sold, may be disposed of afterwards by private contract at the upset price. " No lands are sold by private contract, except for ready money. When sold by public auction, one-tenth at least of the whole of the purchase money must be put down, and the remainder within one calendar month, or the deposit is forfeited. "Lands are put up for sale in lots not exceeding one square mile in extent. " 9. In Ceylon, land is sold by auction at an upset price, which is to be fixed by the Governor, but which is not to be less than 11. per acre. Before the lands are exposed for sale they will be surveyed by the Govern ment and duly advertised. " 10. The several prices above-mentioned are of course subjected to a revision at any time by the proper au thorities, and the pecuniary amount of the remission made to officers cannot be increased on account of an increased value set upon the lands. " August 26, 1848." 60 0 0 4000 PRUSSIA. The Nouvelliste of Berlin, of the 27th ult., has the following:—" The Central Government last week ap plied to Prussia to place 310,000 men at his disposal. This force will probably be sent part into Bohemia and part to the Italian frontier. Prussia replied that she was able to bring into the field not only 310,000, but 500,000 men, which, however, she could not place un conditionally at the disposal of the Central Government. It is besides known that Prussia is the only one of the States of Germany which has sent money to Frankfort, to supply, in some degree, the urgent want of money. She has sent a million of thalers. BELGIUM. Thirty-two persons have been brought to trial, before the Court of Assizes of Antwerp, on the charge of having been concerned in the invasion of Belgium by bands from France, and having taken part in the combat at Risquons Tout. The trial occupied not fewer than eighteen sittings, and has just terminated in the acquit tal of fifteen of the accused, and the condemnation to death of the seventeen others. The names of the pri soners condemned to death are—Spibhoorn, Delestree, Perin, Mellinet, Mathieu, Derudder, Beim, Tedesco, Cannel, Guelton, Jouannim, Calonne, Baeten, Nonkel, Coopmans, Bourgeois, and Declercq. THE ARMY. Major-General Thomas Erskine Napier, C. 8., has succeeded to the increased pay of five-and-twenty shil lings per diem retrospectively from the 11th of August. It is almost unnecessary to recal to public recollection the services of a Napier. If the family has been fortu nate in advancement, it cannot be denied that the suc cess has been deserved. It has certainly always been accompanied by gallantry. Major-General T. E. Napier served with the immortal 52d at Copenhagen and Keoge, in 1807. Appointed Aide-de-Camp to the late Lord Hopetoun (then Sir John Hope), he proceeded on the expedition to Sweden in 1808, and afterwards served the campaign in Spain, under Sir John Moore, including Co runna. Sicily was the next scene of his services • but in 1811-12, we find him in the Peninsula, on the Staff, where he was present at the defence of Cadiz, the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, and the Nive. The Major-General has been twice wounded, once slightly, once severely. His last Staff ap pointment was in the Adjutant-General's department in Ireland, previous to his obtaining his present command of the Limerick district. GUARD or HONOUR AT BALMORAL.—A detachment of the 93d Highlanders, consisting of 100 men, under the command of Captain Leith Hay, is under orders to proceed to Balmoral, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to the Highlands. THE GARRISON AT BlRR.—Several officers of the Ist Royal and 89th Regiments, in consequence of the crowded state of the barracks, have been obliged to be lodged in the town; and all the women have been re moved from the barracks. Yet, notwithstanding this arrangement, the men still suffer from the want of ac corn ni odation. WAR MEDALS.—We have reason to believe that the distribution of the war medals will not be retarded by the"adjournn3ent of the board of general officers. It . sill take place as soon as the stamping is sufficiently adianced at the Mint to admit of a circulation to any considerable ex Service Gazette. CHATHAM, SEPT. I.—Moors FOR INDIA.—CoI. Thomas Weare, K.H., commandant of the provisional battalion, has selected the following draughts from the battalion for embarkation on the 6th instant, on board the ship Minerva, 1,310 tons, Charles Clinch corn mender, for Bombay, viz., Bth Regiment (King's Own), 32 men; 22d (Cheshire), 118 men; 60th Royal Rifles, 10 men; 78th Highlanders, 47 men; 86th (Royal County Down), 55 men; and 94th Regiment, 30 men; making a total of 291 men. The following officers also embark with the troops:—Ensign W. Bayly, Bch Foot; Brevet Major T. S. Conway, C. 8., and Ensign D. Pleydell Boweterie, of the 22d Regiment; Ensign Hart and En , s ign.Z. B. H. Rocke, 7th Highlanders; Lieutenant John Spier and Ensign Maxwell Lepper, Ensign H. Bassett Scott, and Ensign Edward Leet, with Assistant-Surgeon James Kellie, M.D., of the 86th Regiment; Lieut. James Buchanan, Ensign Charles Twisden Scale, and Ensign W. D. H. Day, of the 94th Regiment. EMIGRATION. We are happy to give publicity to the following im portant information communicating the terms and con ditions fixed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies upon which military and naval settlers may obtain land in the British colonies. It will be seen that the amount to be remitted in favour of purchasers has been doubled. "Horse Guards, Aug. 26,1848. " The Commander-in-Chief publishes, for the infor mation of the officers of the army, the annexed copy of a letter and enclosure from the Colonial department, communicating the terms and conditions, fixed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, upon which military settlers may obtain land in the British colonies. "By command of Field Marshal " The DUKE OF WELLLINGTON, " Commander-in-Chief." "JOHN MACDONALI), " Adjutant-General." (Copy.) "‘ Downing -street, Aug. 18, 1848. " My Lord,—Having laid before Earl Grey your letter of the 22d ultimo, 1 am directed to request that you will move the Commander-in-Chief to cause the accompany ing copy of filo paper entitled Information for the use of Military and Naval Officers purposing to settle in the Colonies,' to be republished for the information of the Army. " his Grace will perceive that the amount hitherto allowed to be remitted in the purchase of land by such officers has been doubled. " I have, &c. (Signed) " T. FRED. ELLIOTT. "Lieut.-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, G .C. 8., &c. &c." " INFORMATION FOR THE USE OF MILITARY AND NAVAL OFFICERS PURPOSING TO SETTLE IN THE BRITISH COLONIES. " 1. The colonies in which military and naval officers are allowed privileges in the acquisition of public lauds are the following :—First, the Australian Settlements, consisting of New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, South Australia, Western Australia, and the northern province of New Zealand ; secondly, Ceylon ; thirdly, the Cape of Good Hope ; and fourthly, Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, the only provinces in North America where privileges are still allowed. " 2. In the different Australian settlements in Ceylon, and at the Cape of Good Hope, land is disposed of by sale only; but officers purchasing land, are allowed a re mission of the purchase-money, according to the under mentioned scale:— " Field officers, of twenty-five years' service and up wards, in the whole, 6001. " Field officers, of twenty years' service and upwards, in the whole 5001. " Field officers, of fifteen or less years' service, in the whole, 400/. . . " Captains, of twenty years' service and upwards, in the whole, 4001. " Captains, of fifteen years' service or less, i❑ the whole, 3001. " Subalterns, of twenty years' service and upwards, in the whole, 3001. " Subalterns. of seven years' service and upwards, in the whole, 2001. " Subalterns, under seven years' standing are not en titled to any remission in the purchase of land. " Regimental staff officers, and medical officers of the army and navy, are allowed the benefit of this rule. "In Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, allotments of land are granted to officers on the following scale and condi tions:— To a lieutenant-colonel ... 1,200 acres. To a major 1,000 acres. To a captain ... 800 acres. To a subaltern ... 500 acres. " 3. Officers of the army or navy, proposing to proceed to the colonies, in order to take advantage of this in dulgence, should provide themselves with certificates from the office of the Commander-in-Chief, or of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, or of the Master- General of the Ordnance, showing that their emigration has been sanctioned, and stating exactly their rank and length of service. No document from the office of the Secretary of State is necessary. "4. Officers on half-pay, residing in the colony where they propose to settle, are admitted to the privileges of military or naval settlers, without referring to this coun try for testimonials, provided they can satisfy the Go- O•ernor that there is no objection to their being allowed NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF DR. W. C. WATT, OF MALTA HOSPITAL. —lt is with great regret that we announce the death of Deputy Inspector •of Hospitals and Fleets, Win. Corn borough Watt, M.D. (1841), which took place at the hospital, Malta, (of which establishment he was the chief medical officer,) at noon of Sunday, the 20th ult., after an illness of only ten days. It appears he expe rienced a chill whilst fishing about a fortnight previ ously, fever ensued, and a swelling in the throat, which rather alarmed him, and on consulting his second in charge, Mr. Hamilton Henning, the surgeon and me dical storekeeper of the hospital, he gave himself up as a lost man, and fell into a state of despondency from which be never rallied. A public funeral in honour of the deceased officer took place on Tuesday morning, the 22d ult. The late Dr. Watt was fifty-four years of age. He had seen much active service, and was looked up to as a firm, uncompromising member of his profession. Nei ther awed by high rank nor swayed by favour, he did his duty fearlessly, conscientiously, and satisfactorily to himself, and for the most part wits satisfaction to others. He was assistant surgeon of the Aboukir, at the surren der of Genoa, in 1814; and when surgeon of the Arachne was officially noticed while conducting the Medical de partment during the operations against Ava in 1824.25- 26. He was appointed to Malta Hospital in March, 1843, and received a high eulogium from Sir Win. Parker for the general state, admirable condition, and his supe rior arrangements of the establishment. He was highly respected by those who knew him intimately. Ho was always very benevolent to the poor, but not ostenta tiously so ; consequently his loss will be more deeply felt than his liberality will be known to the public. He was stl ietly a "service " man, and was ever a friend of the widow and orphan of the poor cffieer. It is said that Dr. Watt has left a fortune of about 12,000/. Mr. Henning, the surgeon and medical storekceper. is acting as deputy inspector pro tent. The appointment is in the gift of the Admiralty, and is worth 565/. per annum. - PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. I.—TIIE NAVAL BRIGADES. — These volunteer bodies finished their summer drills on Thursday night at the various establishments, when the loyal and patriotic artisans, forming their ranks, were dismissed to their homes with suitable addresses from their respective commanding officers. The Clarence brigade, Gosport, prolonged their duties until last night, in order to enjoy the honour of being reviewed by the Major-General commanding Portsmouth and the dis trict—Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, K.C.8., and staff.. • IHE ADVANCED FLEET.—Fatty sale of the line, with an adequate proportion of frigates and steamers, will in future be kept at the stations advanced to the second degree, so that their final fittings would occupy but an inconsiderable time, should necessity call for their com mission. ENTRY OF PENSIONERS IN THE FLEET.—The Ad miralty have published an order regulating the rating in future to be given to pensioners on their re-entering for service, which is to be no higher than that of able seamen. _ STOREKEEPER AT DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.—This ap pointment has been conferred upon Mr, Archibald Couch, clerk in Devonport Dockyard. The Andromache and Andromeda store-frigates arc ordered from Killybegs and Galway-, Ireland, to Devon port, to be put out on commission. The Rattler, screw steam-sloop, one of the advanced squadron of steamers at Portsmouth, will be undockcd to-day and tried with a new description of screw. ANNUAL ADMIRALTY INSPECTION OF THE OUTPORTS. —The Lords of the Admiralty will commence their an nual inspection of the various dockyards and victual ling establishments at home, immediately after the pro rogation of Parliament, beginning with the arsenals on the Thames. APPOINTMENTS. Midshipman—A. W. B. Blackwood, to the Prince Regent 90-gun ship in the squadron of exercise. Naval Cadet--J. R. D. Cooper, to the Brilliant cor vette, on the Cape of Good Hope station. CHATHAM, SEPT. I.—The Southampton, 50 guns, Captain Nicholas Cory, was towed out of this harbour by the African and Fearless steam-vessels and navigate d to the Nore this day, and, after being inspected by the Port-Admiral, will sail for Plymouth, when Rear-Ad miral Reynolds will re-hoist his flag and proceed to the Cape. The Mars, 80 guns, having been coppered up to light water mark, and fitted for a state of ordinary, was put out of dock on Wednesday last, and was immediately towed to her moorings at Gillingham-reach by the Fear less and African steam-vessels. The Acorn, 16 guns, was taken into dock yesterday, to have her defects made good, and to be brought forward for commission. The Warspite, 50 guns, advanced ship, was to wed from Gillingham-reach to the sheer hulk yesterday, by the African and Fearless steam-vessels, to have her masts and bowsprit put in their places; she received them this day, and will resume her former moorings to-morrow. CAPTURE OF SLAVERS.—The Penelope steam-frigate, Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., arrived at Lo ando on the 25th of June, and remained there on the Ist of July—all well. On their way down they fell in with the steam-slaver Theresa, on the 22d of June, about 60 miles off Kabenda. The morning was very foggy, and they were close to her before she could make any attempt to escape. She was sent to St. Helena for condemnation; she had no slaves on board. The Penelope expected to leave for England about the end of October. The slavers are tumbling in very briskly; the captures will exceed those of any other period. The Contest was at Loando on the 24th of June, all well. On the 3d of May she captured a vessel with 497 slaves, and on the 14th of May she destroyed a vessel of 252 tons. _ . PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 3.—The Fairy Royal yacht will embark her Majesty and the Court to-morrow morning at Cowes, and convey them to this port en route to London. The Myrtle steam-vessel, Acting-Master Balliston commanding, came into harbour yesterday for a supply of coals, which she took in, and then was dispatched to Plymouth and Cork with supernumeraries for the brigs of Sir Charles Napier's squadron to take out to the stations (Brazils, Mediterranean, West Indies, and China) to which they will be severally dispatched on re turning to Cork. The Myrtle has been surveying under Captain Sherringham during the past week. Lieutenant George Fraser (1821) died at Chichester on the 26th ult. He was midshipman of the Revenge, and served in her boats at the c utting out of a privatut r from Palamos in 1813, for which he was gazetted. Ho was the youngest son of the late Major-General Fraser, of Ashling-house, Sussex. Sir Charles Napier's squadron was passed off Cape Clear on Wednesday last by the Troubador merchant ship, arrived in port. The Admiralty have ordered that in the future distri bution of prize money the engineer boys of the first and second classes shall share the award in the 10th class, and boys of the third and fourth classes to share in the filth class. The work for the Government Artesian well in the meadow lines opposite the Queen's rooms, Portsea, has commenced, The shaft has been sunk, and the boring has begun. The Asia, 84, Captain M. Stopford, flag of Rear- Admiral Phipps lioinby, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific, was at Callao on the 12th of July, till well. Th© Plover, Commander Moore, arrived at Callao from England on the 4th of July, and sailed on the sth for Behring's Straits, en route to the Arctic seas, to search for Sir John Franklin.

I.—Her Majesty's steam Hermes, 6, sailed yesterday for the river Shannon, with 50 seamen and riggers, to bring to this port the Andro meda and Andromache depots. Her Majesty's packet Crane, 6,Lieutenant-Commander John Parsons, sailed this morning. She leaves Falmouth on the 6th inst. for the Brazils. Her Majesty's brigantine Spy, 3, Master Commander James I'. Moon, from Chatham, is now (four o'clock P.m.) under Penlee, reaching into the Sound. Orders are received for her to be got ready immediately and forwarded to her destination, the Coast of Africa. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 2.—The Plumper steam-vessel, fitted with a screw propeller, went down the river at eleven o'clock on Friday last under the charge of Lieu tenant Robertson, and was tried three times down and three times up the measured mile at Long Reach, making an average ,speed of rather more than six knots and a quarter per hour, the engines making 40 revolutions per minute. The engines are by Miller and Ravenhill, and work well, but cannot be got up to their full speed, owing, it is supposed, to the ves sel being too full at the stern. Captain Halstead. R.N., and several scientific persons were on board during the trip. The Sharpshooter is ordered to be taken into dock to have some alterations made in her stern, as she does not steer well; and it is now ascertained that vessels with full sterns are not eligible for the application of the screw propeller, and that they acquire greater speed when their bows are of considerably less draught of water, the great immersion of the screw propeller giving it a greater purchase in the water. The Teaser is having her stern altered at Deptford to a more tapering form and one of the two rudders with which she WU tried will be dispensed with in future. WOOLWICH DOCKYARD BRIGADE.—The thunderstorm on Thursday evening last prevented the conclusion of the drills on the 31st of August, and the men assembled for exercise on the parade-ground on thelst ofSepteinber and went through their evolutions in a very creditable manner, having made excellent progress during the drill season. The Boat Brigade finished their ball practice in the marshes on Thursday afternoon, and out of the thirty five shots tired at 950 yards' range, the target was twice knocked down and five shots perforated it. The prac tice was carried on although a sloop was anchored in the range, warning haying been given to her to move, but the parties on beard paid no attention to the order. LONDON.
