FRANCE. • Ai. de Persigny, Minister of the Interior, left Paris on Thursdry, to meet the President at Roanne, and accompany him to Lyons. M. de Maupas is to quit the Prince at Roanne, and to return to Paris on Sunday. M. Fortoul is to join him at Lyons, and to follow him as far as Bordeaux. M. Ducos, the Minister of Marine, sailed from Havre on Monday morning last, and arrived in Cherbourg the same afternoon. He was saluted by the guns of the citadel, and proceeded immediately to the maritime prefecture, where the Prefect and Rear-Admiral Guillois were waiting to receive him. On Tuesday M. Ducos visited C herbourg thoroughly. The town offered him a dinner in the afternoon, at which one hundred guests sat down to table. The Mayor of Cherbourg having proposed M. Ducos's health, he replied in the following terms y ea , Monsieur le Moire, yes, gentlemen, I shall repeat to his Highness the President the expression, so well felt and so well delivered, of the sentiments of affection, of devotedness, and of gratitude, which have found so worthy an interpreter amongst you. Yes, you are right to elevate your homages to the lofty region where the Chief of the State appears to you. It is, in fact, from him that the initiative emanates, and after having saved France from the horrors of anarchy, he now gives a new impulse to the pacific development of our naval force, with all the activity and all the resolution of his genius. He delights in your magnificent port, created by the great man of modern times. He loves and honours the French navy, because he has ever in his mind the brilliant deeds accomplished at Navarino and the Tagus, at Mogador and at Algiers, at St. John d'Ulloa and the Obligado, because he knows that the destiny of nations may one day be decided in the great game of sea-fights. Let us respond to his patriotic instincts in a manner worthy of him and of ourselves. Let us give him all the gratitude and devotedness we possess. I propose to you a toast which will be sympathetic—` To the Chief of the State, whom I tell you we shall one day call the restorer of the French navy. To the prosperity and greatness of Cherbourg.'" This speech and toast are said to have produced an immense effect, and to have been followed by five distinct rounds of applause. At half-past eight o'clock in the morning of the 15th, th- ship of the line Austerlitz, of 100 guns, was launched at Cherbourg in the presence of the Minister of Marine and of an immense multitude of spectators. The Minister afterwards visited the steamer Phcenix, the school-frigate Licorne, and the frigates Prevoyante and Expeditive. He subse quently embarked for Havre, and arrived last night in Paris. HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL. THURSDAY MORNING.—The remainder of the oratorio cf St. Paul was equally successful with the first part, a brief notice of which was transmitted yesterday. Herr Formes's magnificent singing of the bass solo, " Consume them all," was exceedingly effective; but especial men tion should be made of Miss Williams's performance of the lovely aria, " But the Lord is mindfu l ; " it was truly unaffected and devotional, and was n ever more ,pleasinglyl executed. The sublime chorus , "Arise, shine, was one of the best choral performances of, 0 God, have mercy,", t h e morning. Herr Formes's reading of the praye r, was boisterous in the extreme, all devotion was out of greatuire basso decidedly music themoreso the question. In this style while i n the songs that . reel decidedly fails, power he stands unrivalled. His det with Sims Reeves, " Now, we that are ambassadors, was repeated. Mr. Reeves's singing o f the air, "Be thou f a i t hf u l unto death," accompanied on the violoncello by Mr. Hatton, was a noble specimen of singing, and the instrumental o bli ga t e was exceeding l y well played. Th e d ramat i c choruses with which this oratorio abounds were all well given. Spobee oratorio The Last Judgment formed the second part of the programme. The instrumental accompani ments in which Spahr stand s so pre - em i nent, were beautifully played, with a delicacy and crispness which evinced the real pleasure the members of the orchestra felt in portraying the original and intricate effects in tended by the author; while the principal vocalists vied with each other in a faithful rendering of the text of this awfully sublime sub' Mrs. E hand subject. n erso n Mr. Lackey swag the duet " Forsake me not." The quar tet, " Blest are the departed," was repeated; it was sung by Mrs. E n d erso h n, Mi s s Williams, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Phillips . The chorusses, " Destroyed is Babylon," and the concluding one, " Great and wonderful," were equally well executed. The collection at the doors amounted to 1431., being a decrease of only one pound nob the receipts after the similar performance last festival. THURSDAY EVENING.—The concert-room was crowded to excess, the audience numbering between five and six hundred. It opened with Mendelssohn's symphony in A major, well played, followed by two four-part songs. by J. L. Hatton, for the chorus; the first, called " Twi light," is graceful and pleasing, but the burden of " The Tar's song" is very nigger like, and most decidedly unfit for a concert-room; it would find a hearty welcome on board ship. Two glees by the " Union," " Blow, gentle gales," and " Ye spotted snakes," were as warmly re ceived as they were exquisitely performed; the former was accompanied by the pianoforte and a kettledrum! The performances of the talented " Unien " do not re quire the aid of clap-traps to create an effect; in addition to which, Mr. Chipp bestowed such an unmerciful blow on his instrumeuz, as to startle every one in the room, so that the effect produced was at least astonishing. Mr. Lookey sang a MS. song by J. L. Hatton very chastely; it is a pretty composition, and was well received. - Madame Novelle sang two Scotch songs, " Bonnie Prince Charlie" and "My heart is sair for somebody," without an accompaniment; she was rapturously encored. The National Anthem concluded the performances for the evening concert; and a ball well attended closed the proceedings for the day. FRIDAY MORNING.—The cathedral was again crowded to hear the everlasting Messiah. No remarks need be offered on the performance of the several parts; every one concerned entered con amore upon their duties. Altogether it was an excellent performance. The results of the festival cannot be accurately stated, but they will not be very unfavourable, as the attend ances during the last few performances have been very good, and the gentlemen officiating as stewards will not be called upon to make up any great deficiency in the expenses. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) lIINEV.-It is gratifying to be able to notice some in. creased activity in the share market daring the past week , and although the extent of actual business transacted has not been large, yet a considerable movement has taken place in the s h ares of more popular and promis ing mines, for which many inquiries have been made, The majority of the adventures appear to present very lavourable prospects, and there is every probability of extended business being done.

LETTING HOUSES TTAOjcA.VOID TAE HOUSE At a meeting of the assessed tax commissioners, hel d last week at Plymout h, there were several a ppeals the ground that the rent was under 201. per year. Some rentals were fixed at 19/. 195., as it was considered, an d even admitted by the appellants, who said when asked that the shilling was taken off to save the tax. The commissioners decided the houses to be worth 20/. per annum, and confirmed the assessment, They were sup ported in that decision in consequence of the following case forwarded to the surveyor of the di strict b y the Board of Inland Revenue:—"--, of the town of Black burn, appealed against a charge made on him of 201. rent. He stated on oath that he took his house about twelve months since at 19/, 184, and on being asked by the surveyor to explain why a sum so unusual in rents had been agreed on, he admitted that it had been done to avoid the then expected house duty. The landlord corroborated this statement, and admitted that, but for the inhabited house duty, the rent would most probab l y have been 20/. The surveyor, in support of the assess ment, contended that as the rent had been fixed on to stii ve 2l e ta n o :pected house tax, it was but fair to as v r a s ih t canotdttechreei2vhoeloln relieved eh e lei w ey v a ew s de w rt o eh r et bound appellants.2 u O n / d . y T h t h e el,orAchcaolt surveyor commis sionersan d, fi secia:iodnedofatchaese for the opinion of judges,theand on house duty." 1852, g they gave their opinion, that the week coining of the localjudges m .1 d e commissioners ners appellants s 1 i wrong.'bio to the lust of the appeals at the meeting last within the scope of the case, the business was 80011 got through; the receipts fur 191. 19e. and similar sums, being swers of the appellants, produced, were held, upon the an ants, to be agreements to avoid the tax, and upon the abov e case they were rofused relief.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RICHARD DOIDGE. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Duncan on be half of the detaining creditor, Miss Perry ; and Mr. Cooke supported. The insolvent had been a farmer, occupying some 70 acres of land, at Fords, near Tavistock. The op posing creditor resided in the same neighbourhood, and in consequence , of some imputations cast upon her by the insolvents wife in conversation with a female friend, she brought an action for slander, which was tried in March last, a n d a ve rdi c t returned for the plaintiff, with 251. damages. The costs were taxed at 2471. 35., but were subsequently increased by 251. in consequence of an application on the part of the defendant for a new trial, which was refused. Immediately after the trial the insolvent's property was sold off, and he himself came to London, where he was arrested. Upon the part of the insolvent it was urged that in consequence of his omitting to plead justification he was unable to call a number of witnesses, whose evi dence would have produced a different verdict. Himself and his wife were examined upon the plea of the general issue, but the plaintiff was not called as a witness. An offer of 501. had been offered but re fused by the creditor. Mr. Commissioner LAW thought the case was clear, that a verdict for damages having been obtained, the insolvent availed himself of the interval pending the argument for a new trial to get rid of all his property in order to defeat the judgment of the plaintiff. If the case was pressed there must be a lengthened re mand upon both grounds—the damages in the action and a making away with property. It would be very advisable for some arrangement to be effected, other wise the judgment must be a severe one. The case was then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111 ANS10N-HOUSE. Lionel H. Thomp son , of I, Riches-court, Lime street,agent to th e s hip S ou th S e a, w a s s ummoned before the Lord Mayor by Frederick Parker for breach of contract. The decision upon the case will, it is believed, operate in a great number of instances connected with emigration to Australia. Mr. nobler attended for the defendant. The summons stated that Mr. Parker contracted with the defendant, as the agent of the South Sea, on a voyage to Port Philip, and that the former, having been at the place of embarkation on the 15th cf Sept., 141, the passag e money, payable under such contract anointed, and having paid the sum of previouslya pd la t ri to embarkation, by the neglect of the d ho n u o r t obtain a passage in the said ship, nor tdoteethhurerde a passage in any other equally eligible ship; in 48 hours from the expiration of that day by reason whereof the plaintiff was entitled, by the Passengers Act, to the aforesaid sum of 141., and such other sum, not exceeding 101. for the loss and incon venience sustained by him, as the Lord Mayor might consider just and necessary. Mr. H obler sa id hi s c li en t was, upon hi s recom mendation, willin g t o r e turn the money, and to make compensation t o M r . P ar k e r for the inconvenience sustained by that gentleman, who certainly owed the annoyance to which he had been subjected to Mr. Baines, of Liverpool, whose agent in the business Mr. Thompson was. Mr. Parker declared that Mr. Thompson was not agent to Mr. B a i nes, f or t h e l a tt e r re p u di a t e d th e con • nexion altogether upon being applied to to carry out the contract. Mr. Hobler—l have a letter from Mr. Baines, of the 15th ityat., which shows the agency, and I have receipts of Mr. Baines for large sums of money which my client has transmitted to him for passages to Aus tralia. These must be conclusive. Mr. Parker—l was informed at Mr. Baines' offices in Liverpool, when I went there to join the vessel, that Mr. Thompson had no authority whatever to engage passengers for that house. I am not at all disposed to compound the case. I have been treated with the greatest possible insolence at Mr. Thomp son's offices u p on go i ng t h ere f or an exp l ana ti on , and I apply now to the Lord Mayor for his decision, which will pr o b a bl y gu id e man y o th er cases of the same description. Mr. Hobler—Very well go into your case. Mr. Parker was then sworn. He said—l am a master mariner. I entered into a contract on the Ist of September at the defendant's office. The following is the memorandum 1, Riches -court, Lime-street, City, London, Ist September, 1852, " Memorandum, _ _ " That we have received from Mr. Frederick Parker the sum of 141. as passage to Port Philip in the ship sailing on the 15th of September. Name of the ship, with embarkation order, to bo forwarded to Ashstead lodge, Ashstead, Surrey. " For Thompson, Brothers, " G. SHOTTER " I paid Mr. Shotter the money. When I went to Li verpool I found that the ship in which I received no tice I was to sail was in the graving dock on her beam ends, and that it was impossible she could sail on the 15th inst., the day appointed. Here the em• barkation order was put in. It stated— . __ No. 1.111. " Mr. Frederick has paid the sum of 141. for passage money p .r ship South Sea, Captain Brett, bound for Port Fnilip ; tho balance not being paid, nono can embark. " For Thompson, Brothers. R. H. WILLMOTT." I was at the place of embarkation on the 15th. Upon my return Mr. Thompson acknowledged the con tract, and said that Mr. Baines ought to have received me p as senger. He also offered me a compromise, but a o bjected to have the business settled in that way . No other vessel was found for me forty-eight hours after the refusal to receive me as a passenger on board the South Sea. Cross-examined,by Mr. Hobl e r—l saw M r . Sh o tter in Mr. Thompson s „office, who called me a liar, and used other most a busive language. Mr. Hobler—Did Mr. Baines say that Mr. Thomp son was not his agent for the vessel ? Witness — There were some person; who app eare d t o b e i n autho rity in Mr. Baines s offices who said so, and who ap peared to be very angry at the transaction. Mr. Hobler, in ~o rde r to show th a t M r . Thompson was perfectly justifiedin stating that he was agent to wouldthe ship South Sea, begged read the following cora , or to t M h s e t s s t h r s e . munication : L B O a r i d n e A s i a ays " Liverpool, Sept. 13, 1852. " Messrs. Thompson Brothers, 1, Riches-court, Lime street, London. will jtaWA:eieEths are receipt of your telegraphic e B I A, o , iNEs passengers and c per o. , p e South r j . c Sea, a to month of September. Please let 112 have with amounts paid.— YourssailandGentlemen,—No particulars respectfully, 4, Messrs. Thompson Brothers, 1, Riches-court, Lime. of names, a ges , &c., street, London. , _....w reare in receipt of your letter of yester day's have communicated the contents to Cap tain Brett, the owner of tho South Sea, for whom we are only acting as agents. Ile wishes us to request you to state what number and what class passengers you can give, and if we like the terms we shall berth them on receipt of passage money.—We are, Gentlemen, yours respectfully, „ _ JAMEs BAINES and Co., per J. Call. " P.S. The South Sea will sail in all this month." The course pursued by Mr. Thompson was as direct a course as could be adopted towards those to whom he acted as agent, as well as to the passengers for whom he provided berths, and, although the blame in the present instance lay with those who had refused the passage upon the application of the complainant at Liverpool, h e was willing to act at once upon the suggestion of the Lord Mayor, who would, no doubt, take into consideration the fact that the defendant was in the habit of paying considerable sums of money for the passengers ho introduced. The LORD MAYOR said that, with respect to the agency which was stated to exist upon the part of Mr. Thompson, although there were circumstances in the case calculated to show that agency was implied, there certainly was no direct agency existing. The 32d section of the Act said, " If any Passenger, or person acting on his behalf, shall have contracted with the owner, charterer, or master of any ship, whether a passenger ship or otherwise, or with any person acting on behalf of such owner, charterer, or master for a passage for such passenger," the obli gation lay upon any one of these persons to give satisfaction. Now, it was quite evident that the complainant stood in the position of an equitable claimant in the case. W. Parker having then intimated that the sum of 71. 10s. would satisfy him for the inconvenience to which he was put by the disappointment. The LORD MAYOR ordered that Mr. Thompson should return to the complainant the passaga-money, amounting to 141., nod 71.103. for expenses and costs. The money was paid. WESTMINSTER. Robert Burnell, a fellow sixty years of age, w h o has been before convicted of a conspiracy to defraud, and who is also stated to be a returned transport, was charged with the following infamous mode of extor tion :—On the 30th of June last the prisoner went to Mrs. Ann Edwards, a respectable lone woman, living at 17, Montpelier-row, Brompton, and stated that he had an indictment against her for keeping a disorderly house. She expressed her surprise and denied that there was anything disorderly in her house, but he declared that it was one, that proceedings had been instituted in consequence of a comp laint of Mr. Har ness, a clergyman, by the direction of the Society for the Protection of Females, of which he (p risoner ) was an officer, and sho we d h er a paper which he said was the indictment. Sh e dthat she did not keep a repeate bad h ouse an d she would immediately go to Mr. Ilarness on the subject, but he assured her that w ould be of no use, as her neighbours had been there before 11,1 ', and Mr. Harness would not hear a word she had to say. Prisoner said he was the principal agent in IBEIt. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COLT• PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List, PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.

He said she had women living in the house; to which she replied she had two, but they were quiet, hard working women, one of whom went out charing and had lodged with her three years, and the other a poor needlewoman who had been with her a year and a half. Prisoner said it did not matter, it all came under the Act, and pulling out an old Act of Parlia ment, read a part of it to show how she could be punished. He then offered to stop the proceedings if she would give him money, and she, not knowing what to;do, and having no one at hand to advise her, gave him a sovereign out of the amount she had saved to pay her rent, and promised him a little more in the course of a few days. On the 6th of July he called again, when she placed half-a-sovereign before him, for which she had pawned something, and told him that she had got rid of her lodgers, and that for the future, to prevent getting into trouble, she would have none but men in the house, upon which the prisoner, after pocketing the half-sovereign, said he had not meant her to turn her lodgers away ; could she not get them back ? and if she could not he would send her some women. She declined, after the trouble she bad got into, having anything more to do with women, when he assured her that she need not be afraid; nobody would do anything against her without the society and he would take care of her interest in that respect. He made several other applications to her for money, as he said, for other of the society's officers who had been watching her house ; but as her brother had come to town, and she had his advice, she resisted all further demands. A witness was called who saw the last half-sovereign given to the prisoner. Mr. Henry Joseph Newman, secretary to the So ciety for the Protection of Females, proved that the prisoner was unknown to the society. The accused, who said he should reserve his de fence, was committed for trial. DREADFUL FIRE. Yesterday morning the densely-populated neigh bourhood of Rotherhithe was visited by the outbreak of one of the most terrific fires that has happened in that locality for a considerable time past, which we regret to say was attended with a vast destruction of valuable property, fatal consequences to two persons, and serious injury to two others. The scene of this terrible catastrophe was Rotherhithe-street, imme diately facing the well known waterside landing depot, termed the Platform. The premises in which the outbreak occurred belonged to Mr. Hogg, and were numbered 394 in the beforenamed street. The building was of great width, depth, and height, and the business fur which it was principally used was that of an optician and mathematical instrument maker. The lower part of the premises was likewise used as a shipchandler's warehouse and a Birming ham and Sheffield goods store. Mr. Hogg being a large contractor for furnishing stores to ships leaving the pool, of course had always on hand an extensive assortment of articles ready to be put on board at a few hours' notice. On Saturday, however, the stock in trade, it is stated, was larger than it had been for some weeks past, and comprised a valuable assortment of guns and other firearms, ironmongery of nearly every description, besides a number of packages and crates of goods for emigrants who were about pro ceeding to Australia. At a few minutes before one A.M., Davidson, who had charge of the brigade floating-engine off Cherry garden-stairs, was alarmed at hearing terrific screams of " Fire !" and " Save us I" He immediately went to the top of the engine, when on looking towards Mr. Hogg's premises he perceived a man and a wo man, the former at the second floor and the latter at the first-floor window, beseeching the police to aid them. The firemen forthwith beat the metal gong belonging to the float. The constable who was on the beat in less than two minutes after the alarm was given, hastened to the building, when on gaining the front door he heard distinctly some women screaming most piteously, ap parently in the shop. The officer thought that if he forced the door he should be enabled to liberate them, and when he was knocking the door away a woman leaped from the first floor to the pavement, with her face and hands terribly burnt. She was at once picked up and removed to a place of safety. It has since been ascertained that her name was Susan Hogg, a niece of the proprietor of the premises. It was then suggested to Mr. Hogg that he should remain where he then was until something could be obtained for him to leap upon. A counterpane having been pro cured, the unfortunate man jumped out and alighted upon it, but his weight was so great as to split it in two when he fall with a fearful crash, breaking his legs and injuring his backbone, besides causing other serious injuries, so that he was obliged to be re moved to Guy's Hospital. As soon as the policeman succeeded in opening the front door he called loudly to know whether any one was in the shop, but re ceiving no answer, and having seen Mr. Hogg and his niece jump out of the window, he concluded that the residents had all left the building, and it was not until an advanced hour of the morning that the me lancholy fact of two human beings having perished became positively known. The moment after the door was burst open the fire, owing to the draught thereby given, shot up the stairs with more than usual rapidity, so that in the brief space of 10 or 15 minutes the building presented one tremendous sheet of flame, which for upwards of an hour illuminated the metropolis. This caused a simultaneous turn out of the land engines, while the large float was being set ready for work, so that at one time there were seven brigade engines, besides that of the West of England office proceeding towards the spot with all pos sible expedition. Mr. Braidwood, the superinten dent of the London Brigade, and Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D district, arrived at the scene in a fow minutes, and so did Mr. Connorton, with the West of England engine. By that time, how ever, the roof had fallen in, and, shortly after the firemen bad got the float into operation the upper floor gave way, and then the flames shot completely across the carriage-road, setting fire to the gable-end and front of the India-house Tavern, the property of Mr. Newbold. The total destruction of that building and the premises on each side of Mr. Hogg's, viz., those of Mr. Fleming, barge and boat builder, and those of Mr. Fisher, granary keeper, seemed imminent. The branch from the float was at once brought to bear upon the premises of Mr. Newbold, which soon got the flames subdued in that quarter, and then the water was discharged in immense quantities by that powerful engine into the centre of the blazing mass, while other land engines of the brigade, and that of the West of England-office, performed the sae operations through the side openings; but, in spite of the most strenuous exertions of the firemen, they were unable to get the mastery of the fearful ele ment, until Mr. Hogg's premises were reduced to ruins and several other premises damaged, the extent of which will be seen from the official report below. As soon as the ruins became cool and daylight set in the firem e n made an examination of the premises for the purpose of seeing whether any persons were therein, as no tidings could be gleaned of the servant girl, a young woman named Jane Brown, and of Rosina Riches, a young person related to Mr. Hogg. After some time a most sickening spectacle presented itself, for in the midst of the ruins both bodies were discovered burnt almost to cinders. The remains were carefully collected together and removed to the dead-house to await a coroner's inquest. . vv Respecting the cause of the melancholy disaster nothing that can be depended upon could be learned. The servant girl who has perished went down stairs with a lighted candle after the shop was closed on Saturday night, for the purpose of turning the gas off at the metre, and it is not improbable that in so doing she might have dropped a spark into some of the crates or packages in that part of the building. Mr. Hogg says that is the only conclusion he can come to as to the origin of the disaster. He also states that he knew nothing of the existence of the fire until awoke by the screams of the women, when he jumped out of bed and proceeded below to see where the fire was burning. He got as far as the door of the shop, when, on laying hold of the handle, he found it quite hot. He therefore ran ,up stairs and told the women to follow him, when, just as they were about to do so, the door in front was forced, when the flames shot up and followed him into the room, and, as the last ex pedient, he was obliged to throw himself out of the window. Susan Hogg, who also jumped out of the window, states, that on being alarmed she went down stairs as far as the shop, but the door not having been opened, she was returning, when the flames met her and she was compelled to run to an adjoining apartment. Even there the fire rushed in and fairly encompassed her, so that she was forced to fight her way through the flames by which she received the burns about the face and hands. She could not form any idea as to the cause of the outbreak. Ooe fortunate circumstance connected with this melancholy event is that Mrs. Hogg and her four children left town last Tuesday, and bad not returned when the outbreak took place. Subjoined is the official report of the damage done : " Sunday, September 19, 1852. A fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Hogg, optician, ironmonger, and ship-chandler, No. 394, Rotherhithe-street. The cause of fire not known ; building and contents in sured in the Guardian Fire-office. The fire was ex tinguished by firemen and the use of the engines of the brigade (land and float) and that of the West of England office. The contents are consumed and the building burnt down, through the police forcing open the front door when they heard the people crying , within. Mr. Hogg's back and legs broken by jump ing out of window ; taken to Guy's Hospital. Jane Brown, the servant and Rosina Riches burned to death. I " No. 393 in the same street. Mr. W. J .

NAVAL IN TEL LIGENCE• We have news from Malta to the 13th inst., brought to Marseilles by the Banshee, 3, steam-packet, Lieut. Commander Hosken. The commander in chief, Rear Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., with his fleet, had pro ceeded to Vourla, where he will remain about a fortnight and will then go to Athens, Corfu, &c. The following i 3 our correspondent's letter:— " The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan, with the homeward India mail, is just now tele graphed, and the Banshee is making ready to proceed to Marseilles. " Since my last Rear Admiral Dundas, C. 8., the commander in chief, with the fleet under his command, has made his appearance off the mouth of the harbour, but did not come its. Captain Carter, the new tag captain, who was waiting here for the arrival of the Britannia flag-ship, has joined. On the appearance of the fleet the steamers Terrible, 21, Captain Hope, C. 8.; and Fury 6, Commander Tathan; and the frigate Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliot, left port to meet him; Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Codd, baring pre ceded them. " When off the port, Spiteful, 6, steam•sloop, Com mander G. Parker, from Tunis, arrived with dispatches, the purport of which was that the Bey being danger ously sick, and not expected to live, the French felt dis posed to dispute the succession. A line-of-battle ship, Ville de Paris, 120, or the Valmy, Roar-Admiral Jacquinot, with two steamers, Mogador and Grondeur, were lying there. After repairing Spiteful has been again dispatched to Tunis, whence she will rejoin the Admiral. " Indefatigable frigate, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., has gone to Lisbon, and the Terrible to England. Before leaving both vessels were inspected by Rear-Admiral Harvey, and both exercised their 68-pounders on the occasion. Tho Admiral was much pleased with the result. _ _ " Terrible was detained a few hours, to bury Richard Short, one of her crow, a young man of ,24, who, acci dentally falling from the mainyard was killed imme diately. Tiger steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, has reached this port from England, and has since proceeded to joi❑ the Admiral. She surprised a great many, who con sidered her a slow boat, by the great rapidity with which she came in, nearly as fast as Banshee or Caradoc. " Modesto, 14, Commander Lord W. Compton, has arrived at Smyrna from Constantinople; and Spitfire, surveying-vessel, Commander Spratt, has left Smyrna for Candia. " A court•martial is, I am informed, ordered to as semble on the return of the Admiral, to try Lieutenant Newcomen, of the Trafalgar, on certain charges." THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. SCOTT REEVES, R.M.A.—The body of the unfortunate officer of the Royal Marine Artillery, Mr. Walter Scott Reeves, who was drowned on the 9th: a instant, while proceeding by himself in a small sailing-boat to the Isle of Wight, was picked up floating off Cowes, on Friday last. A sergeant and party went over with a shell on Saturday, to bring the body over to the Marine Artillery Hospital. An inquest will be held on Monday (this day). Cornwallis, old 72, fitting at Devonport, is progress ing as fast as can be be expected with the hands on her. a large number of men being absent on duty at Pem broke. Her lower rigging is on, all three topmasts are pointed, and her bowsprit is fitted. Another week and her rigging sill be complete. Her other fitments are getting on favourably. Dauntless, 33, screw steam frigate, Captain Halsted, got up steam on Saturday afternoon, and proceeded to Spithead, took in her powder, &0., and will sail this day, it is reported, for the West Indies, although many of her officers must be left behind to attend a court martial on some drunken marines. Fanny, yacht, returned into harbour ye3terday after. noon from Pembroke. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate Captain Jones, and Ante lope, steam-vessel, were at Gibraltar when the Growler left. The Growler has brought home invalids from Malta only, those at Gibraltar are to come home in the Terrible. Highflyer, 21. screw-corvette, Captain Matson, went out of Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday afternoon to Spithead, where she took in her powder and live shells. She sailed yesterday morning for Jamaica, calling at Plymouth. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—The Barracouta, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, arrived at Spithead at nine o'clock last night, from Madeira and Lisbon. She left the former place on the Bth instant, and the latter on Tuesday last. She brings the intelligence that the grape crop in the island of Madeira is quite destroyed, and it is feared the vines are' much injured. Much distress already prevails on this account. Tha Duchess of Braganza arrived at Ma deira on the 28th ult., and landed on the 29th under royal salutes from the forts, and ships present of the English, American, and Portuguese squadrons. The Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. J. R. Thnimmnnrl, is lnft at Madeira. FL °hang° eoa. par milrei. The Archer screw steam-sloop was the only British man-of-war at Lisbon, Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron having sailed on Sunday, the sth. The Bar racouta encountered a severe gale in the Bay of Biscay, of twenty-four hours' duration on her passage home, or she would have made the quickest passage on record. She ran from Spithead to Madeira in 103 hours. Off that island, on Sunday, the Pith, she signalled an Eng lish barque, whose first distinguishing pendant was " 1,430 " (Cairo), standing to the southward, and on Friday, the 10th, si gna ll e d t h e E ng li s h b arque w h ose first distinguishing pendant is " 3,247," in lat. 36 47, long. 12 18.

The Growler, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Stoddart, arrived at Spith ea d at ten o ' c l oc k t hi s morn i ng , f rom t h e Mediterranean. She sailed from Malta on the 6th, the fleet of Rear-Admiral Dundas then being off Gibraltar. The Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., was in port and was to leave the day after the Growler, on the 7th, for Lisbon. The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Cap tam James Hope, was to leave on the Wednesday after the Growler (from Malta), for England. The Growler arrived at Gibraltar on Sunday last, coaled, and loft on Monday at five P.M., for Spithead. The Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, arrived from Tetuan (where she had been for water), as the Growler was leaving the Rock; and she was going on to Malta or elsewhere, to join Rear-Admiral Dundas's squadron forthwith. The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Com mander Bradshaw, was at anchor at Gibraltar, about to sail for Malta in a day or two. The Growler has brought home Lieutenant Power, of the Britannia, appointed flag-lieutenant to Vico-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore; Mr. Wither, midship man; and numerous invalids from the Mediterranean squadron. She has been in commission since the 6th of July, 1849, but the only wardroom officers who have now comp home in her, appointed on her commission, are Commander Stoddart, First-Lieutenant Marten, Dr. Charlton, the sergeon, and Mr. Grant, the purser. She had strong southerly gales all the way home. The Meander, 44, Commodore Talbot, sailed from Spithead this afternoon, at two o'clock, for the Cape of Good Hope. The Vernon Indianian was to have shipped the heavy baggage of Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Fit z• clarence, G.C.H., yesterday, from the Echo steam-tug, for Bombay. His Lordship leaves for his Bombay com mand by the next overland mail, vitt Marseilles. It was blowing very strong when the Echo went out with the baggage, and in getting alongside the Vernon she fouled her and did her some damage, which she must come into dock to-morrow to repair. The Echo also sus tained some injury, and was unable, from the roughness of the weather, to put the baggage on board the Vernon. SHEERNESS, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty's iron screw steam troop-ship Megaera, Commander John Johnson, has taken her coals on board, and on the alterations in her internal arrangements, suggested by the late survey, being completed, will proceed to Woolwich to receive stores and embark troops. She is a few petty officers and seamen short of her complement. A lieutenant be longing to her has been sent to Plymouth to raise the required number to complete her crew. nor Majesty's brig Bittern, 12, Commander Vansit- . tart, is all ataunt in the fitting basin. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Miranda, 14, had her lower mats taken out on Friday, and is forthwith to be rigged with her proper masts and spar& Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle-ship Aga memnon, 90, when completed by the engineers at Wool wich, is to be seat here for the purposn of being fitted for service. Her sails have been for some time past in process of making at this dockyard. She will spread more canvass, we are informed, than any vessel of the navy at present afloat. Ifer Majesty's Paddle-wheel steam-sloop Barracouta, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie commanding pro. tem., is daily expected from Madeira. Some seamen belonging to the Horatio screw steam guard-ship were sent yesterday to Melville Hospital, Chatham, for medical treatment.
