HERRING FISHERY. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) DUNBAR, AUG. 4.—The fishing yesterday morning was decidedly the best in the season, and kept all the curers busy throughout the day ; the number of boats on the station about 140. Many had above 30 trans ; one went as high as nearly GO cram. This morning it is not so abundant, although many good shots have been brought in. Selling price from 12s. to 14s. per cran. Besides home curers there are five French huggers in the harbour. The only cry out is, the want of harbour room, and it is a cry much to be regretted ; but it is hoped will be soon remedied by the extensive harbour improvements now only waiting the sanction of the Treasury to carry them into execution. ANSTRUTHER, AUG. 3.—Last night upwards of 300 boats put to sea with light winds and fine weather, and and this morning many- of them returned well laden with shots varying from 10 to 40 barrels of herrings of ex cellent quality. Prices, from 28s. to 135., fell as the heavier cargoes arrived. Some boats realised 2S!. for their morning work; and some of the curers have bought 200 cram to-day. There are several French vessels in the harbour, and the town is all bustle and animation. PETERHEAD AUG. 2.—The fishing at this port con tinues, as usual, equal to any on the coast. We have about 400 boats employed, and 18 cargoes have arleady been shipped, partly for Hamburgh, but chiefly for our own ports to the Southward. . . . BODDAM, Auc. 3.—The weather has been very stormy since the commencement of the fishing ; but the 34 boats have landed 445 crans ; and there has been a good catch this morning ; the particulars of which cannot be ascertained until next report. THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) HARVEST.— Barley harvest was commenced on the farm of Mr. Mollison, Easter Echt, so early as Saturday last, the 31st of Jul). The quality of the grain appears to be excellent, and the quantity will rate at about ten returns. Other portions of barley in the district'will also soon be ready ... fur cutting. . . . . 'Omit:N.-L . -Mr. George Mutch commenced the harvest in this early parish on Monday last, the 2d inst., by cut ting a patch of bear on Muirycrook. INVERNESS, AUG. 4.—On Monday last we had a favourable change of weather—the long-continued mois ture having given way to genial warmth and drying breezes. Towards the end of last week we visited Mo- rayshire, and were glad to observe the excellent prospect of harvest which is everywhere visible. The farmers all state, that during the month of July the season was ex tremely wet, in consequence of which the turnip crop, which had brairded finely, was checked in growth, but both the barley and oats have been much improved in straw. Wheat has suffered from rust, and as a con siderable breadth of this grain is sown in Morayshire, the loss will be felt by many farmers. The description of oats called • Sandy Oats is in great favour here ; it is fully ten days earlier, has as much straw, and fills better than the early Angus. The rain has not deteriorated the potato crop, which is unusually abundant. THE PAPERS OF THE DEAD,—It is always a sad and terrible task—where there is any human feeling in the heart—that of examining the papers and letters of those who are gone. The records of fruitless affections of disappointed hopes, of tenderness perhaps misplaced, perhaps turned by the will of fate to scourge the heart that felt it, are there all before our eyes. Side by side, at one view, and in one instant, we have before us tho history of a human life, and its sad and awful moral— we have there the picture of every bright enjoyment, of every warm domestic blessing ; while written by the hand of death beneath them, is the terrible truth, "rhese are all past away for ever, and so will it soon be with thee likewise [ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. Professor Holloway, the discoverer and sole proprietor of these wonderful and extraordinary medicines, in con sequence of their infallible efficacy in curing in the space of a few days (when they are used together) bad legs, the most dangerous wounds, ulcers, and king's-evil or scrofula, has just instructed all his agents to return in future to persons whatever money they may pay for these remedies whenever they may fail to cure any of the above cases, however desperate they may be.

The assembly was a very numerous one, comprising a great number of distin -3 guished gentlemen. On the entrance of Sir Robert Stopford and the rest ' of .the. guests, - the band of the Portsmouth division of the Royal Marines saluted them with the air " See the con ' quering Hero comes," followed by three hearty cheers. After the removal of the cloth and grace, The CHAIRMAN rose and rave, as the first toast of the evening, " The health of her Majesty the Queen," with three times three.—(Chters.) Air—" God save the Queen.", The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and her Royal Highness the Princess Royal." The toast was drunk with great applause. The CHAIRMAN said' the next tlast be had the honour to propose to them was " The)iealth of the Queen Dowa ger and the rest of the Royal Family." Drunk with three times three, and long-continued ( cheering. The CHAIRMAN then said that he had the honour and pleasure of proposing " The health of the clergy." The Rev. J. P. M‘GiirE, Vicar of Portsmouth, in rising to acknowledge the toast, said that he would merely state what he felt to be the sincere feelini , of the whole clergy as to the subject which had that day brought them together. The clergy had felt, from the beginning of these exploits, the greatest interest in the part which their illustrious guest had been called on to fulfil.— (Cheers.) They had prayed for him before, and in action.—(Cheers.) They had given thanks for him in their hearts during his absence and his efforts, and they now hailed his return to his native land. The Rev. Gentleman concluded 1;7 repeating his thanks for the kind mention which had been made of the profession.— (Cheers.) The CHAUIMAS, in proposing the next toast, " The Navy," said it would be impegf -.Cut in him to attempt to eulogise the. Britisii navy:--Hear.) They who had witnessed our fleets fitted out and despatched from their roadstead, and who had seen them' as regularly return laden with trophies of victory, needed no excitement from him to give fresh interest to a toast which he was • sure they would all drink with heartfelt satisfaction. Admiral Sir E. CODRINGTON returned thanks. The honour of returning thanks could not have come from any one more properly than from Sir R.' Stopford. But from early life he had been under Sir R. Stopford's or ders, and Sir Robert having commanded him to do this on the present occasion, he now begged to return them his sincere thanks on behalf of the profession to which he had the honour of belonging.—(Cheers.) 1 The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Army of Great Bri- tarn—the admiration not only of England, but of the i world."—(Loud cheers.) 1 General Sir HERCUL E S PAKENHAM returned thanks. ' The MAYOR then rose and said—Gentlemen, we are now arrived at that very interesting period of this evening— of doing that honour to our illustrious guest which he so largely merits. Gentlemen, the name of Sir. Robert Stopford is no stranger to you.—(Cheers.) The Gallant Admiral, gentlemen, whom you have met together to honour has not burst upon you with some single and.sud den exploit which might soon be forgotten.—(Hear, and cheers.) The Gallant Admiral entered the naval profession at a very early age, and though of high birth and noble parentage, he passed through all the requisite and subor dinate stages of the service, and never shrank from the performance of any duty which his profession required at his hands—(Cheers)—giving at an early period of his life convincing proofs of the talent and character at which he has since arrived, and the most promising inti mation that he would eventually reach the very summit of his profession.—(Prolonged cheering.) Gentlemen, I will not on the present occasion attempt to go at length into the history of Sir Robert Stopford's services to his country.—(Cheers.) To do that it would be necessary for me to go through the naval history of Great Britain for the last half century.—(Great applause.) Many of you who are now present have yourselves been witnesses of his conduct, whilst others have read the history ofhis achievements in the annals of their country.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will name a few instances merely to show that your Gallant Guest has been very extensively en gaged in the public service. —(hear.) Sir Robert Stop ford, then, commenced his career with the relief of Gibraltar. He was subsequently present in the Prince George at Lord Rodney's action, and was engaged in the action of the glorious Ist of June, 1794.—(Cheers.) He was on board the Phreton at the famous retreat of Lord Cornwallis, and assisted in the Spencer, at the action at St. Domingo.—(Cheers.) Again, the Gallant Officer assisted at the capture of the Danish fleet, and held a command at the expedition to Java.—(Cheers.) And, gentlemen, the last, though by no means the least important command which was held by the Gallant Ad miral Stopford, was that which comprised the period of his late glorious career in the command of the Me diterranean fleet.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not attempt to describe the vast importance that at taches to the events in connection with .these last ser vices of the Gallant Commander.—(Hear.) You- all know the nature of those unhappy differences which so recently prevailed between the Sultan of Constanti, nople and Mehemet Ali, the Paella of Egypt.—(Hear.) You all know that the feelings of the whole of Europe were fixed upon the Gallant Admiral ; that his every a n: l o x v i e e m ty r i t la n s • n a l s u e vi h ra a t e s h t e i • m i e l g v t t e h s e t a m p o p s r t e eager lien sio and prevailedpainful that Europe might be involved in a general war.—(Hear, hear.) But, Gentlemen, Sir Robert Stopford, by the ex•• cellence of his judicious arrangements, and by one de cisive blow, dispelled all our appre h ens ions and dissi pated our alarms.—(Great c h eer ing.) Gentlemen, Sir Robert Stopford has been em i nent l y di s ti ngu ished in the public service during his whole life ; but there is one point of view in which I am 'anxious, for a few moments, to contemplate the c o n d uct o f the G a ll an t Admiral, viz., with reference to his private character.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you have yourselves heard this evening . the testimony of your respe c t e d v i car, that not on ly i s Sir R. Stopford a great man, but that he is also a good man.— (Cheers.) lam sure it must gladden the hearts of all here to know that her Most Gracious Majesty has given to the Gallant Admiral an honourable retreat, wherein he will have ample opportunity of exercising the virtues of his character.—(Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by proposing " The health of Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford." The to:lst was drunk with the greatest possible expres sion of generous and grateful feeling. Admiral Sir Robert Stopford then rose to return thanks amidst overwhelming applause, by which he was so much affected that his first sentences were all but in audible. Ile said—lied I more eloquence than falls to my share—had I all the eloquence I could desire, -I should still want words and language to express my deep ' sense of the honour I have received from the reception I have met with since my return to England.—(Cheers.) I am more particularly indebted to his Worship the Mayor for the most eloquent w a y i n w hi c h, f ar beyond my merits, he proclaimed my name.—(Cheers.) With respect to my reception in England, no trump of fame, no herald announcing pompous achievements preceded my return.—(llear, hear.) The reception I met with here when my brother officers gave me a dinner a few days ago, arose from those magnanimous and liberal feel ings on the part of the British public which are always displayed towards officers who have done their utmost endeavours to discharge their duty—feelings which re quire no prompting, and which are always the more welcome from being unsolicited. (Loud cheers.) Honours have been conferred on various occasions— the ornaments which attend those honours may sometimes have been purchased by money, but the honour which I now rect.ive is beyond all limits of caprice, and of a nature that no money can purchase.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I think it due_ to you, and to the company I now address, to say a few words on the immediate sub ject of this meeting relating to Syria.—(llear.) You all know how inadequate our means were when we first landed in Syria to oppose 70,000 men, under the com mand of a warrior of some distinction, Ibrahim Pacha, and whom we were to oppose only by the marines of our shipS, a few handsfull of 'lurks, a few sappers and miners and artillerymen, and these were the extent of our means to drive 70,000 men out of a country like Syria. —(Hear.) I was appointed Commander-in-Chief by sea and land of that expedition. The officer of the army who was appointed immediately to take - command of the troops on shore, unfortunately for him, was seized with such a violent indisposition that he was perfectly unable to do any thing. I had, however, the good for tune to have in my second in command an officer, Si r Charles Napier—(Loud cheers)—who . had had the ad vantage of occupying very useful positions under the l)uke of Wellington, and who had also most gallantly distinguished himself on many occasions in Por tugal.—(Loud cheers.) To such a man I very gladly looked to supply the place of the general officer who was prevented from acting by indisposition. As he was upon the coast of Syria for some time before I went there, he judiciously selected a situation which w as occu pied immediately on my arrival with the troops, when operations commenced. Ills subsequent operations were, as you are aware, of a nature to check and paralyse the Egyptian troops, so that they never came into collision with the Turkish troops under arms, except in one in stance, when, by a simultaneous attack on the Egypti an troops in front and rear, he succeeded in expelling those troops from Syria, and delivering them over to, the com mand of the officers of the Sultan.—(Cheers.) (S o we understood the Gallant Admiral, but he spoke so low as to be scarcely audible.) To that officer, therefor e , I b eg to express the greatest obligations.—(Loud cheers.) Neither can I forget the obligations . I owe to a distin guished officer now here, Capt. Collier—to Capt. Boxer, of the Pique, who was employed in the more southern ope rations—to Capt. Barclay, who was engaged i n another part of the operations—to Capt. Stewart, in the Benbow, who was employed northwards, and to all commanders and men who so ably and so nobly performed their duty.— The operations on the coast of Syria extended near to a line of three degrees of latitude, if not mo re . T here must, of course, have been numerous . deta chments from the Commander-in-Chief to perform the ser v i ces on that I p e o n s g se th sse o d f a co p as ol t ;er N w o h w i , eha unless eou ti n ie tryC;lan inander-in- Chief of mine attri buted to the birds and fishes, of beingin two places at once, he could not possibly be in more places than one at the same time.—(Cheers and laughter.). Therefore what has been said about the Commander -in-Chief not being there is fully answered . by the fact of its b e i ng im possible, and I feel myself An every way fully exculpated for placing reliance iu officers on whom I knew I could fully depend.—(Hear.) Whenever concentrated services were wanted, as at Beyrout and Acre, there I was in person.--(Loud cheers.) I will not trouble you more with anything relating to myself in Syria. I have ex plained some points on which I thought explanation might be expected, and I could not do so with more satisfaction to myself than before the distinguished company and respectable community which I have.now the honour to address.—(Cheers.) The eulogium which has been passed upon me I am much obliged to the Mayor for. I also cannot forget the encomiums passed on me by the Reverend Gentleman who last addressed you ; but that reminds me that I shonli end where I ought to have begun, by attributing to Al mighty Providence the successes which we have achieved. (Great cheering.) The state of the weather, which enabled us in the month of November, at a time when the bad weather usually sets in, alone enabled us to being our labours to a successful issue. —(Hear.) We have' now returned to Turkey a fine, a large, and a rich pro vince. By good management it may add to her strength —without good management it may, as it always does in such cases, add only to her weakness.—(Hear.) That, however, is no business . of mine. I did what I was or dered to do, and let them do the rest.—(Continued cheer ing.) Once more I beg sincerely to return you my thanks for this most splendid entertainment—an enter tainment distinguished for its elegance—abounding in good cheer and good feeling. Again I return you my sincere thanks.—(Prolonged cheering) DANIEL QUARRIER, Esq., M.D., then rose to propose " The health of the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Hardwicke, and the rest of the distinguished visitors who had honoured the assembly with their company," and in a speech of considerable length and eloquence eulogised the great merits of the Noble Marquis as a first-rate cavalry officer, and particularly referred to his gallant services in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. The Marquis of ANGLESEY rose amidst loud applause to return thanks. He said—Gentlemen, on the part of the visitors and of myself I have the honour to return you my cordial thanks for the honour you have done them and me. Gentlemen of Portsmouth, I beg leave personally to ex p ress my grat i tu d e f or the favour you have done me in making me your guest on the present interesting occasion, and in thus enabling me to offer my humble tribute of respect and to assist in doing honour to the illustrious commander, the Gallant Admiral, whose glorious achievements we are this moment assembled to celebrate.—(Loud cheers.) Great, glorious, and triumphant have indeed those achievements been. They are such as it is impossible for the nation at large too highly to appreciate, or for ou r M os t G rac i ous Sove reign too highly to reward.—(Cheers.) I congratulate the nation that we still have amongst us such able, such gallant men as many of those whom I have the happiness to see around me.—(Loud cheers.) I congratulate the brave officers and men who had the good fortune and happiness to participate in all the glories of the East ; I congratulate the navy at large on the high a nd noble proofs which have now lately been given that they have not degenerated.—(Loud cheering.) I congratulate that gallant corps—that useful, that invaluable link in the chain which connects the two services of the sea and the land, and which unites them in one common bond of union, good fellowship, and interest. I speak, as you may well observe, of the Royal Ma rines.— (Cheers.) I congratulate them on the splendid share they have had in all those victories.— (Loud cheers.) It is a corps which never appeared on any occasion or under any circumstances without doing honour to itself and its country.—(Renewed cheers.) Many of us here have lived in times when war has been carried on on a more extended scale than it has lately been, but I do not believe that if we were to search the pages of history we could .find one, notwithstanding the glorious examples which stand recorded on it. Still I do not believe we could find one in which this service stands more pre-eminently conspicuous, or in which it holds a more commanding position than it does at the present day, as compared with the same service in other nations.—(Great cheers.) With respect to the honour done me by a gentleman at the bottom of the table, who spoke of my humble services, I beg to offer him my sin cere thanks. lam sorry to say that I very imperfectly heard his speech ; but I fear its subject was sadly in flated, and greatly surpassed any merit of mine. Such as my services are, or such as they ever may be, they are always at the service of my country.—(Cheers.) I most cordially and sincerely thank the worthy gen tleman for giving me an opportunity of stating that, whatever honours and distinctions I may have re ceived, I owe them all to the gallantry of those brave men whom it has been my fortune to lead to the field of battle.—(Tremendous cheering.) I might be anxious, perhaps, to expatiate on the high merits of the late bril liant campaign in the East, but really, gentlemen, after the perfectly beautiful history of the life of the Gallant Admiral whom we are now anxious to honour, which was given us by our worthy Mayor, and after the distinct aid perfect explanation which the Gallant Admiral gave of his own achievements in the East, it would be nothing short of impertinence in me to detain you one moment longer. I will just, however, make one single remark en what has fallen from the Gallant Admiral. It seemed to me that lie tried to make an excuse for not having hini self been at this, that, and the other place, saying that he could not be at all places at once. Now, it seems Co me one of the matters of the- first and greatest import ance to all commanders, whether by sea or land, to place confidence in those who are under them, and not to at tempt to do everything for themselves.—(Loud cheers). J. IfostuNs, Esq., in rising to propose the health of the Lord Lieutenant and the Magistracy of the county, observed, that though the toast prescribed that he was to give the health of his Grace the Duke of Wellington as their Lord Lieutenant, he was persuaded that no English man ever heard the name of Wellington without recol lecting the great and glorious achievements which had been accomplished by that incomparable warrior.— (Immense cheering.) They would follow him through all his victories and all his triumphs, and especially that last and mightiest victory, in which the Duke of Wel lington, ably supported by the Gallant Marquis of An glesey and the rest of his brave companions, sealed the nobility of his blood by exposing it to be shed in his country's cause.--(Loud cheering.) After a speech of much power and eloquence, Mr. Hoskins concluded by congratulating the inhabitants of Portsmouth on the way in which they had buried, for the moment, all political differences, and met together to do honour to their dix-. tinguished naval and military guests.—(Cheers.) He would propose to them " The health of the Duke of Wellington and the Magistracy of the county."—Cheers.) W. GRANT, Esq. acknowledged the toast in a short but appropriate speech. T. BURBEY, Esq., proposed " The health of the Mem bers for the southern division of the county."—(Cheers.) W. STIGANT, Esq., in the absence of the two repre sentatives, replied to the toast. D. HowARD, Esq., then rose, and, in a few words, gave " The health of the Members for the borough of Ports mouth."—(Cheers.) FRANCIS T. BARING, Esq., the Chanoellor of the Ex chequer, in rising to return thanks on the part of his ab sent colleague and himself for the compliment paid him, assured them that he took that compliment in the way it was meant to be conveyed—in that old English spirit which had been so well alluded to in the course of the evening. —(Hear.) He considered that the compliment had been paid to the position which he occupied, and not put forth with any political reference—(Hear, hear)—for he should indeed be ashamed of them if they could not put aside all political opinions on the oc casion of a meeting like that which had brought them together that evening. —(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman then observed that, whatever might be their political feeling upon the policy of those mea sures which their gallant guests had had to carry out, the public. of this country would ever honour those gallant men who, by their valour, their energy, and their excellent conduct, had added lustre to the British name, whether or not they agreed in the policy of the achievements they had had to perform.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman then concluded by passing a handsome eulogium on the character and services of Robert Stopford, Sir Charles Napier, and their gallant companions in the East; And said that a more•appropriate place could not possibly have' been selected than Ports mouth as the scene of the honours paid to such men— Portsmonth, which was the first naval station of the first naval power in the world.—(Cheers.) The healths of Admiral Sir E. Codrington, Comman der-in-Chief of the Dockyard ; of Major-General Sir H. Pakenham, the Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth; and of the Hon. Admiral Bouverie, Superintendent of the Dockyard, were then severally drunk and acknowledged. Mr. W. GRANT, jun., in a short but able speech, pro posed the health of " Commodore Napier and the Officers of the Navy who served in the Syrian expedition," which was drunk with general applause. Commodore Sir C. NAfIER returned thanks. He said he wished all the officers who had served under the Gallant Admiral on the coast of Syria and of Acre were present this night to witness the kind manner in which they had received the Mention of his (Sir R. Stopford's) name.—(Loud cheers.) He could assure them, as an officer holding a high command under the Gallant Ad miral, that tare was not an officer or a man engaged in that expedition along the whole coast of Syria who did not always look up to the Gallant Admiral with the most perfect and entire satisfaction and reliance.—(Loud cheers.) As to those who were more immediately placed under his orders, he could say that he never wit nessed during the whole course of their services more zeal, more energy, and more determined perseverance than was displayed, not only by officers of the navy, but by the marine officers in the late expedition.—(Loud cheers.) As to himself, if he had been able to perform any services useful to his country or creditable to himself, he owed it entirely to his Gallant Commander-in-Chief, Sir Robert Stopford, who placed a sufficient confidence in him in the illness of the army officer who was ap pointed to the command of the troops.—(Hear.) The Gallant Admiral thought proper to give him his confi dence and the command of the allied troops employed in the expedition. It was certainly a new situation for a naval officer like himself to be placed in; butthwohuegnhtthiet Gallant Admiral gave him t hat command, he his duty to use the whole of his zeal, exertion, and en ergies to carry cut the Admiral's views to the utmost extent in his power.—(Loud cheers.) He believed the Gallant Admiral had told them that he had done this to the utmost extent in his power, from the moment he received the command of the army to the thomblit he returned that command.—(Cheers.) • The Gallant Ad miral had given them such a perfect account of the ser vices of the army :and navy on the coast of Syria. that there was but little for him to say on the subject.

VI to DEVIZES.-- THE WEATHER AND THE C"Ps•—With the exception of Sunday we have had rain every day since our last publication. On Monday and Tuesday a great quantity fell, and there is every prospect that this day will be one of continued wet. Harvest must be late, and the stocks of wheat in this district are very low indeed. There are various opinions about the crops ; but the prevailing one is, that they will be found, acreably, below an average. The fact, that notwithstanding the quantity of rain which we have had for the last six weeks, the wheat is not much laid, proves that it is light in the ear.— Wilts Independent. A remarkable pike, weighing about Sibs., was caught in the Avon, close to Chippenham, a few days since, by G. Pollard.. Its head, fins, and tail, were of a very light blue ; the back, the hues of a mackeral. In shape it was a model of perfection, and altogether con sidered a natural curiosity , —Wilts Independent. there was one thing he must tell them, as the Gallant Admiral had adverted to it. When he land e d i n Dj our i Bay he found himself surrounded by innumerable diffi culties—in an inaccessible country, with deep gorges, high mountains, and a powerful army to contend with. —(Hear.) - To meet all those difficulties they had but a small force, but from the energies displayed by the ma rine officers and by the Turkish troops, he found himself in a state to combat all the difficulties opposed to them, and he was happy to say that, during the short cam paign there of one month, the services of the 'marines, of the Turkish and of the Austrian troops, overcame diffi culties greater than he believed had ever been overcome before, and were the greatest feats of the service since 1784.—(Loud cheers.) The Gallant Admiral was good enough to allude to his having seen some land service in Portugal in the time of the illustrious Duke of Welling ton. Ho well remembered, in his boyish days, being at the battle of Busaco, when the Gallant Duke commanded a newly-levied army, but then his troops were British.— (Hear.) They had now been tried before them, and it must have been a most anxious time for the Duke. He well remembered the British troops were attacked on one side and the Portuguese on the other, and he saw that illustrious General near a particular point watching the effects of this terrible attack on his left and right. He saw the gallant resistance of the forces commanded by Sir 'rhos. Picton, supported by his Hon. Friend near him, Sir Hercules Pakenham, and a more brilliant attack no man ever saw, and it was not till then that he saw what British troops and officers could do against a large and superior French army.—(Hear.) That lesson he had endeavoured never to forget.—(Loud cheers.) It was then he ac quired all his knowledge of military affairs, though, as a naval officer, it was presumption in him to say he knew anything at all of them. If, however, he knew anything at all, that knowledge he had acquired under the Duke of Wellington.—(Loud cheering.) He would not detain them longer, except to say one word on the discipline of the navy.—(Hear, hear.) The Mediterranean fleet, commanded as it was—(Hear, hear)—and he had always fought against the unmanned state in which it was kept prove i t, i t, a f i ro r m fe i c t t s r;e x a al u a gu e l ofdiscipline discipline, a ndaennde energy, nothing m ore c t r a l n d that it should in a few hours have silenced the forts at Acre, which it took Napoleon more than once to try to do, and in which he never succeeded.—(Loud cheers.) He could not refer without deep regret to the loss of Colonel "Walker, commanding the Marines. He was a most gallant officer, who, had he lived, would have led the marines on in the most conspicuous manner to his own and their glory, and to the honour of the nation.—(Loud cheering.) Before he sat down he must not forget Admiral Walker, who, though a young officer, was in command of the Turkish fleet. He be lieved . there was no officer who had served in the Syrian war who would not allow that Admiral Walker had displayed great zeal, energy, and integrity, and had brought the Turkish fleet into a state of highly improved discipline.—(hear.) He was satisfied if that gallant officer remained in that post some short time longer, he would discipline that fleet so as to enable it to come forward l on some future day to second the fleets of Great Britain, the natural ally. of Turkey, in repressing any foreign Power who should attempt to usurp the do minion of the seas, but who, he would venture to pre dict, would never succeed in their attempt, for so long as British seamen and British officers continued to be what they were, and the British nation stood by them in the way it did, they were enabled to defy the whole world.—(Tremendous cheering.) The health of Major Morrison and the Officers of her Majesty's Royal Marines who had ser ve d i n th e S yr i an expedition, was then given with great applause, and at the hour when our express left there still remained seve ral local toasts to propose. The speech of Sir C. Napier was, unfortunate], for the convenience of our reporters, not delivered till a late hour, ten o'clock, but it is right to add, after what we have previously stated, that it appeared to give great sa tisfaction to all parties. REGISTRATIONS. TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS. The next General Election (should there be one v,ithin 15 months) virtually commenced on Sunday, that being the day on which the Over seers p u bli s h e d t h e list of voters for the ensuing year. Every Reformer, should, therefore, attend to the fol 13wing instructions :-Ist. He should see that the Over seers publish their lists on all the Churches and Chapel doors to-morrow, their wilfully neglecting to do so rendering them liable to a penalty of 500/. 2dly. He should examine those lists to-morrow, at :the residence of an Overseer any day before the 15th of August, which any person may do without the payment of any fee. He should se. that his name, qua lification, and place are correctly described, and having ascertained if the names of any persons, who he believes to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he should induce them to claim to be registered on or before the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz. A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. To the Overseers - of the Parish of I hereby give you notice that I claim to have my name inserted in the List made by you of lersons en titled, under the Reform Act, to Vote in the Election of a Member (or Members) for tho City (or Borough) of , and that my qualification consists of a at No. in in your Parish. Dated this day of (Signed) I'Silt it. PEEL'S MA NIFESTO. In the present dearth of domestic news, trifles which would otherwise be despised, rise in value and are greedily devoured. On no other principle can wr. count for the prominence given to Sir Robert Peel's re cent speech at Tamworth. A more empty at , - 1 unsatis factory harangue was never delivered, and ye; during the past week it has supplied - daily food for the press. Sir Robert has paid his addresses to the public, but re fused to satisfy them that his intentions are honourable. In place of setting forth the principles on which he means to act, or indicating the measures by which he proposes to make up the deficiency in the revenue, the Right lion. Baronet amused himself with trifling newspaper on flits, and candidly declared that he would keep his counsel until fairly ensconced in office. All this seems very strange, and has laid him, open to the charge of a degree of reserve and concealinent, un worthy of his position as leader of the party about to re sume office. Let us, however, do the Right Hon. Baro net justice. Our Liberal Contemporaries proceed upon the assumption that he possesses some secret—that having condemned the measures of the Whigs, he has something to propose in their stead. But no such thing. To us it appears that he stands very much in the situa tion of Canning's knife-grinder,— " Story! God bless you, I have none to tell, Sir!" His great object and that of his party has been to defeat the Whigs. To accomplish this, they have toiled for years, and, through the apathy of the people, they have at length succeeded. They proposed no measure of re form—they came not forward as the advocates of any popular principle, and the country has no right to expect any boon at their hands. They are pledged to nothing, and will yield as little as possible—the object for which they have struggled being attained the moment they enter the Cabinet. Why, then, expect from Sir It. Peel a manifesto of how he will act? He has been lavish enough of the stale cant about "maintaining the institu tions of the country in Church and State," which means that he is determined, if possible, to uphold every abuse; and the result of the elections has shown that in the pre sent state of ignorance and apathy, it is enough for his purpose. He, therefore, proposes nothing—first, because the corrupt constituencies of England have accepted him at his own tefms ; and, secondly, because he wishes to do nothing if he can help it. He may be forced to make concessions to the people, but these are not matters of which he is anxious to claim the initiative, or of which he can be expected to boast. Hence the bareness of his recent speeches, and his refusal to indicate the kind of measures he will advance. He neither ,knows what ho may be suffered to do by his party, nor what he may be compelled to do by the people ; and in this st;ste of ig zserstneu as to. the future, anything very explini: respect ing the line of policy he may find it necessary to ad o p t , is of course out of the question.—Scotsman. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Auc. 4. Madame Rochussen, the young and amiable wife of the Finance Minister at the Hague, recently met with her death under the following circum stances :—She had been brought to bed some weeks since, and was still in a state of great weakness, when one of her brothers, a naval officer, whom she had not seen for ten years, and who was supposed to be dead, suddenly entered her chamber, without sending up his name. thinking to agreeably surprise his sister. His unexpected appearance proved too great a shock for the exhausted state of the unhappy lady ; she immediately fainted, and, before her husband, who, at the time, was attending a ministerial con f erence, cou ld reach his house,' she had expired. A few days ago, a young gentleman in'the law was attacked at noon day, in the Rue de Laeken, ,by five or six fellows who pretended to be drunk. They hustled him, and, while two of them held his arms, a third took his purse out of his waistcoat pocket. The thieves then ran off, and succeeded in making their escape. A Brussels Journal, the Commerce, says that the scheme of establishing a local bank at Ghent has met with so many difficulties that the thing is given up. The Due de Crillon arrived in. Brussels on Friday evening, and is residing with his family and a numerous suite at the Hotel de la Regence. Cai*E.—There are now in the pris6n of the Petits Carmes eight prisoners under sentence of death, and almost as many awaiting their trial under capital indict ments. William Perry and Angelina Lamont, natives of Eng land, formerly residing in London, were, some months back, condemned by the Assize Court of Brabant, the former to fifteen years' hard labour, the latter to twelve bears, both to b e ex p ose d on t h e p i llory and to be randed, for having forged sundry bank notes and bills of exchange. His Majesty has recently been pleased to commute the sentence upon the female prisoner to six years' hard labour without either exposure on the pillory or branding. In the case of Perry, the sentence was confirmed, with the exception of that part which relates to the branding. The Government has directed M. Tarloes, the Belgian Consul at Smyrna, to explore the countries situated to the south and east of the Black Sea, for the purpose of ascertaining what markets they . offer to the commence of Belgium. The results of this inquiry are now known to the Government. The Minister of the Interior informs the merchants and manufacturers of the country, that he has received from that Consul, through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a collection of patterns of the articles imported into those countries, especially at Tauris, Persia. They consist chiefly or woollen cloths and -cot ton manufactures. The first have been sent to the Chamber of Commerce at Verviers. As for the others, such as the patterns of long-cloth Madapollans, chintz, Saxonia muslins, checks, handkerchiefs, they may be seen by the manufacturers at the Department of the Interior till the 25th of August, when they will be sent to the Chambers of Commerce which shalt pply for them, and then be placed wholly, or in part, at the immediate disposal of our merchants and manufacturers. A very detailed notice accompanies the patterns. The Queen and the Duke of Brabant arrived at Ostend on Sunday night at eleven o'clock, after a passage of thirteen hours. The health of his Royal Highness is very satisfactory. Their Majesties are now at Lacken. ESPARTERO AND LORD PAL MERSTON. (From Galignani's Messenger.) The Guienne, a Legitimist paper of Bordeaux; pub lishes the following strange communication, which, it asserts has been addr esse d b y E spartero to Lord Pal merston. We have no doubt that the document is apo cryphal : My Lord—The despatches remitted to me by Com modore Lord John hay, on the part of your Excellency, remind me of my promises and engagements towards the Government of her Britannic Majesty. It is diffi cut for me to satisfy at once all the claims of Eng land. If it depended on the Regent alone, you could - meet with no obstacles. But the Regent and the Mi nistry, although devoted with all their hearts to the English Government, and disposed to promote its inte rests, have to contend with the Chambers, whose ma jorities are not always faithful to us, and with the Press, which, in its principal organs, is very hostile. However, the first step has been got over. The Ministry has ventured to . present to the Chambers the project of making a cession of the islands on the coast of Africa, which are the object of pretensions on the part of your Government. The Ministry is employing every means to obtain the approbation of the Chambers.. No one can inform your Excellency better than. Lord J. Hay of all the difficulties which opposed an examination of the question of the Philippine Islands during the pre sent session. I am of opinion that in order to quell the spirit of the turbulent and the Opposition, England should demand, in the name of the creditors of the Spanish Government, payment of the arrears due on the Cortes Bonds, and all the succeeding loans" and this, too, by notes conceived in threatening lan guage. The Government will hasten to lay before the Chambers those diplomatic communications, presenting at the same time the alternative of war, or a cession or the islands. It will be impossible for them to meet the , first extremity, particularly since the Ministry has ex posed the state of the kingdom, which is without a nary, and has no resources to enable it to contend wi t h s re o n ve e re w i t g o n y o o f u t r h se as, e Ex c ti ment and con s id erat i on of your d evote d f r i e nd, " The DUKE DE LA VITTORIA, Regent. ellen l avail cytlie m ex y p s r e e l " Madrid, 24th J u l y.

The surface of the Park, which was uneven with many hillocks, h a s been levelled, and several young trees have been planted. There are three excellent gravel-walks just finished, one running parallel with Constitution-hill to Hyde-park-corner ; another across the Park, leading to the same place ; and another parallel with Piccadilly. The plantations are protected to prevent them fr om being injured, and the Park, which was rugged and by no means inviting, is now a place of healthy and a greeable recreation. A fish called the Sea Devil was caught off Bark ing on Monday last. It is six feet lour , and four f ee t s i x inches in circumference. It is without fins, but has feet and flippers. It is now lying at the Gun, Blackwell. THE NORTH MAlL.—lnstructions have been received by the Post-office authorities at Edinburgh from the P o stmaster-General, and which will be carried into, effect in a few days, to despatch a mail-coach from Edin burgh, as formerly, in the morning to the towns on th e east coast.—Berwick Warder. Tong CORPORATION LOYALTY. --At the Tory dinner given at Chippenham, on Tuesday last, by the two Members, Joseph Neeld, Esq., and Captain. Boldero, we learn from the report in the local Tory paper, that while the health of the Queen was simply drunk with "three times three," that of the Queeu Dowager was receivrd with " ent h us i ast i c ch e er i ng !" The.flon. and Rev. Thomas Cavendish, vicar of Doveridge, and the Rev. Henry R. Crewe, rector of Breadsall, were on Friday last chosen by the beneficed clergy of the Archdeaconry of Derby as the two proc tors to represent the clergy of the said Archdeaconry in the election of proctors at Lichfield on Tuesday, to repre sent the whole 4ergy of the diocese of Lichfield in the ensuing convocation, pursuant to her Majesty's writ for that purpose.—Derby Mercury. The inhabitants of Camberwell, who, in con seqnenee of one of the Lords of the Manor having con sented to surrender his claim to the holding of Camber well fair, have been confidently looking forward to the suppression of this nuisance, are greatly disappointed at the determination of the Police Commissioners to sap e , tion it for thi s y ear, on t h e groun d t h at they must:take the occasion of it s b e i ng held to give notice o f tl deir in tention forthwith t o put it down,—Come. powl' en t .
