To-day being appointed by Mr. HALLS, for the re-ex amination of William Jones, the street and office were crowded more than on any former occasion. The bench, before Mr. HALLS had taken his seat, was completely thronged, and Sir R. BIRNIE suggested to several respecta ble persons, unconnected with the case, the propriety of taking their seats in the public part of the office. Jones arrived in a coach about half-past ten, and the most feverish aniiety was evinced by the crowd to get a sight of him. Ile appeared' if possible less moved than before. he had been supplied since his former examination with a linen shirt and a black stock. . Mr. HALLS, on the prisoner being placed at the bar, observed that his legal adviser, Mr. Butler, was not pre sent, and asked the prisoner if he expected him. He re plied that he did expect him, and Mr. Halls then or dered Furxeman to be sworn ' • he stated that he went t o the H ouse o f C orr ection on Monday, and then took a waistcoat from the prisoner (produced) ; there are some marks on the right hand pocket. It appeared to have been stained, but could net say whether it was with blood or 4ot. The waistcoat appeared to have been recently washed. • Mr. Butler not having arrived, Mr. HALLS said that he should pursue another part of the enquiry, with which Mr. Butler's presence had nothing to do. He then called Mr. Acton, the reporter who had sent an article to the Morning Herald, about which Mr. Halls questioned him on the last examination. Mr. Acton stepped forward, and was ordered to be sworn by Mr. HALLS. Mr. Stafford then read the paragraph, which stated that Jones was in the habit of visiting the deceased a few (lays before the murder in company with a prostitute with whom be cohabited. Mr. HALLS then questioned Mi. Acton upon this para graph, who stated that he had received the information from Mr. Edmonds (another reporter), with the excep tion of a mistake of his owil, in which he had substituted ." days" for " weeks," otherwise the report was substan tially correct. He then called Mr. Edmonds, the Reporter to the Morning Chronicle, from whom he stated, that-he bad received the information. Mr. Edmonds then stepped forward, and begged to ask Mr. ACton whether there was not a mutual.communica tion of facts concerning the murder between them. Mr. HALLS considered that question an improper one, and would not allow it to be asked ; and after some fur ther remarks, he directed Mr.. Acton to stand down. He then directed Mr. Edmonds to be sworn. The latter ob served, that from the unprecedented manner in which he had been brought before the publid, he should request a Postponement of his examination till he had consulted a barrister whom he expected there. Mr. HALLS said that he had had a week to prepare him self, and insisted on his being sworn. Mr. Edmonds was then sworn, and stated that the state-, latent of Mr. Acton, that " he had received from witness the whole of the passage, with the exception of "days" for " weeks," was not correct. He had stated to Mr. Acton that it was " some time" before the murder. No one sentence had been reported by Mr. Acton in the words in which witness had related it to him. He had certainly told him that the prisoner had been in the habit of visit ing the house of Mrs. Jeffs, with the woman with whom he cohabited, but had never stated to him any definite period of Jones's visits. Mr. HALLS—Now, Mr. Edmonds, be kind enough to tell me from whom you were so informed. Mr. Edmonds stated, that the fact of the woman having gone with the prisoner to the house was communicated to hint by a person who had wrongly expressed it. Witness had since seen that person, and had ascertained that it was his mistake. He bad not intended to convey that mean ing, which, being illiterate, he had conveyed. Witness had given a solemn pledge to that party that he would not mention the name, and he would now beg leave to decline doing so. Mr. HALLS directed the last sentence of the evidence to be taken down. It was done so, and read over to Mr. Edmonds, who again expressed his regret that he had, by his own mistake, led Mr. Acton into error. If he knew that he could give any evidence which would bear upon the case, he would be most willing to do so ; but be had already contradicted the - report of the Morning He rald in the Morning Chronicle, which he begged leave to state was originally correct,- in publishing the report from the information which Mr. Acton had received from him. Mr. HALLS, however, refused to listen to any explana tion, whenever Mr. Edmonds was entering on it, and again asked him if he meant to abide by the evidence he had given, and declined giving up the name of the person in question. Mr. Edmonds replied that he had since ascertained that the person had been himself misled, and he (Mr. E.) should be doing him a great injustice by. bringing his name before the public. He meant no disrespect to the bench, and would give any evidence that he knew either for Or against the prisoner. Mr. HALLS—Then Mr. Edmonds I shall require bail, Yourself in 401. and two substantial housekeepers in 201. each, to answer any charge at the Sessions. Mr. Edmonds—l suppose it will do if I put in bail in the course of the morning, as I suppose you do not wish to put me to any inconvenience. Mr. Hata.s—Oh, no ! Officer, Mr. Editionds . is in custody. You canput him in a-private room. - The officer called out " This way, Sir," and Mr. Ed- Mends was with great gravity ushered into confinement. At this time Mr. Butler entered and Mr. HALLS in formed him of the evidence which he had taken about the waistcoat, and wished to linow if the prisoner had any thin g t o urge in his defence or explanation. He lad, in his firit examination, made a statement to him (Mr. HaHQ, aad he believed that Mr. Butler had not seen it. If, there fore, he had any thing more to say, he would hear him nove or at another time, as he intended to adjourn the case. The facts of the statement would go materially against the prisoner, if he did not attempt to explain them. Mr. Butler submitted, that there were so many difficul ties i n the way of the prisoner, whom he considered the 'nest unfortunate man whom he had ever seen at that bar, that if Mr. Halls considered that a ease was made out, he should, for the prisoner, beg for his immediate commit ment. He should also advise him to rese►ve his explana tions far another place. Mr. HALLS, however, finally adjourned the case till Monday next.

The supplies of all kinds of Grain that came in last week were good, and the quantity of Flour, both coast wise and from the westward, was considerable. This morn ing the fresh arrivals of Corn are all moderate, and most of the samples are damp. The few dry samples of Wheat that appeared were readily taken off at prices rather ex ceeding our quotations, but every other description was so very dull in sale, that last week's terms could hardly lie ob tained. Barley may be quoted Is. per quarter lower, with a slow sale. Beans fully support the terms of last Mon day. Pease of both kinds meet a very heavy trade, Grey Pease are ls. to 2s. per quarter lower. Oats continue to sell slowly at no variation from the terms lately reported. The Flour trade is very dull, except for the superfine sorts. Rapeseed is scarce, and rather dearer. Linseed unaltered.

We had a good supply= of Wheat from the farmers this morning, and the arrivals coastwise have been rather large during the week, but there being a good many buyers for seed in addition to the millers, the sale was brisk at last week's prices. We have had a large arrival of Barley since last week, and prices are Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. The supply of Oats continues rather large from the farmers, and we have had further arrivals from Ireland, but last week's prices are fully supported.

The large arrivals of Grain and Flour into Liverpool and Wakefield in the course of the present week, caused the millers and dealers to be shy purchasers this morning. Fine Wheat barely supports last Saturday's rates ; the rough samples are much neglected. Grinding Earley is Id. to 2d, per 601 b. cheaper, and Oats are heavy sale at ld. to lid. decline in prices. Boiling Pease are not mach in demand, nor do Beans command the rates of last week by,ls. per quarter. The Malt trade is overdone by the number of sellers, rather than by any great accession of stock ; the brewers and dealers look for lower prices, con sequently at present only supply their immediate necessi ties. Flour and Oatmeal have been more dull this week than for months past, but the quotations remain unaltered. Customary Bushel. Quar. of S Imp. Bush. • Wheat (7_01b.) 4• to s, d. s. d. to s. d.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 2.—There continues a steady demand for British Plantation Sugar for the home trade, and the market is but barely supplied. The sales this week amount to 450 hhds. only, for which full prices were paid. Nothing done in Foreign or East India Sugar. West India Molasses, of good quality, met a ready sale; 450 punchs. Demerara have been sold at 28s. 9d. to 295. per cwt. The public sales of about 200 tees. Jamaica Coffee, brought forward yesterday, went off heavily ; not more than one half was sold, the holders being un willing to submit to any reduction worthy of notice. Cocoa, Pimento, and Ginger, remain dull. Rum steady at the prices quoted, and the sales limited. The demand for Cotton continues very limited; the sales this week amount to 9170 bags, and the middle descriptions of Bowed, Alabama, and Orleans, have barely maintained our last quotations. The sales consist of 51d. t o • old. d chiefly at . 5 i . d. to kid. 3730 Bowed 4 4 for m i dd ling to f a i r 3700 so old, bid. to 64d. for fair to good new. 710 Orleans at sid. to 8&d. chiefly at 74. to 7id. for ' good fair to good. 840 Alabama at Sid.

The arrivals are 8040 bags. There has been a limited demand for Tobacco this week, the sales being confined to a few small lots taken by the trade at our quotations. Qf Carolina Rice no sales are reported ; about 900 bags East India have been taken at 12s. to 15s. per cwt. Our Corn market has remained on the whole pretty steady ; Wheat has sold freely at our former quota tions, but Oats, in consequence of large arrivals from Ireland, have given way in price ld. to 2d. per 451bs. Some sales of Dutch and French Clover seed have been attempted this week, but the buyers not appearing inclined to bid, they were mostly withdrawn : a small lot of new white Dutch brought 80s., and 40 bags red 645. to 68s. per cwt. About :250 hhds. new Sowing Flaxseed have been dis posed of at 50s. for Philadelphia, and 525. per hhd. for New York : a sale of 2000 casks is announced for the 18th instant. The sales in Quercitron Bark are 30 hhds. fine Philadelphia at 15s. 6d. per cwt. Nothing done in Tar : 1200 brls. of good Turpen tine have been disposed of at 12s. 6d. per cwt.

Montreal Pearl at 30s. 6d. to 315., and .50 brls. New York Pearl at 30s. 6d. for old, and 325. to 335. per cwt. for new. The market for Dyewoods remains steady; the sales in Logwood are 120 tons, Campeachy at 71. 15s. off the quay, and 60 tons Jamaica, at 71. per ton. Small sales have been effected in Nicaragua wood at our quoted prices. We have no sales to notice in Indigo, Lac Dye, or Cochineal. Some small lots of Safflower, fair quality, have been sold at .5/. ss. per cwt in bond. There has been a good demand for Sicily Shumac, and about 1,200 bags of the new, just arrived, have been sold at 10s. 6d. per cwt. Madders are in steady demand. The sal" •in Madder Roots are 140 bales French at 425. per' cwt. Nothing done in Lemon or Lime Juice. There has been a good demand for Olive Oil, which is taken freely for consumption at the present rates ; the sales of the week are about 70 tuns Spanish at 32/. 10s. for very inferior, 34/. 10s. to 3.51. 'los. for good quality, and Gallipoli at 391. per ton. Brim stone remains dull of sale, and for Saltpetre the in quiry is limited, only 150 bags having been sold at 255. per cwt. There is some inquiry for Palm Oil, but at rather lower rates than holders are inclined to take. Tallow has been more inquired for; about 200 casks have been taken by the trade at 395. for old Petersburgh Yellow Candle, and 40s. for new, and 40s. 6d. per cwt. for Odessa. The only sales we have to notice in hides are 400 dry Valparaiso Cow and Ox at 9d. to 10d. per lb. A vessel has just arrived from Buenos Ayres,' having eluded the blockade ; she brings about 3,700 dry and 700 salted Hides. BRITISH INSTITUTION. We have been abundantly gratified with this very improving exhibition. Though not, perhaps, in quantity, it contains in quality more valuable pictures than on any previous season, and will, we doubt not, be proportionably successful. It is delightful to see England, after having in turn drawn forth and fos tered every variety of merit, now directing its atten tion to the Fine Arts : and, even in the infancy of that department, exhibiting, like Hercules in his cradle, the proofs of future greatness. There are pic tures in the present exhibition which may almost vie with some of the old masters. Velasquez, for in stance, is scarcely superior to Borrington, who, in his magnificent representation of the Ducal Palace at Venice, has proved himself a master of chaste, ap propriate, yet lavish and impressive colouring. No. 35. Shepherd Boy, Reynolds, is chiefly re markable for the fervent devout expression depicted in, the countenance of the kneeling youth. In point of colouring it is little, if at all, removed from me diocrity. 50. Amphitrite, Milton, is beautiful in its way, but possesses much too solid and massive an appearance. The light airy fictions of Greek my thology should be shadowed forth with less as sumption. The Tritons in particular are very Pata gonians in size. They would be awkward subjects in an Irish row. With respect to the grouping it is elegant and even classical ; the colours showy and imposing. Our hint of inappropriateness applies to the conception, not the execution of the piece. 126. Twilight, the Wounded Knight, S. Jackson, has a very sombre and romantic gloom thrown over it. The indistinctness of the hour is inimitably pourtrayed, in fact, the picture explains itself. 137. Study of a Highland Piper. Mr. Green in this portrait, we presume, has not unhappily caught the expression of the Highland countenance. There is a shrewdness in the eye and about the mouth not to be mistaken. The colouring, however, is feeble; indeed, absolutely common place. . • • 124. His Majesty's frigate Blonde, by .G. P. Reinagle, deserves notice,- from the lavish richness of its cloud colouring. The vessel too is light, buoyant, and winged, and floats naturally on the water—a peculiarity not often found in our modern - Pea pieces. • 127. A View of the Menai. Straits, Suspension Bridge, G. Arnoid, gives a striking .the stu pendous genius of Mr. Telford. The picture, how ever, wants animation. - The bluff ,shore on either side should stand 'forth more boldly en the canvass. The colouring too is somewhat faint. 200. The Pope's Villa at Albano, J. Laporte, is harmoninus as a aole, and, we doubt not, charac ristic. The deep quiet sombre repose of the scene is strikingly preserved, and the perspective, a -very difficult one, ably defined. .260. Shipping, by S. Drummond, is a sober and temperate piece of colouring, and does credit to its ingenious artist. - 362. Persian Sheep, J. Ward, is nature itself. We have seen few things finer than the soft velvet like painting of the fleece. There is a richness too about it that stamps the master hand. 3 M. 11/lather Brawn's Sunset is characteristic both with respect to colour and "time. It has, how ever, no very striking features of novelty. 388. View on the river Tamar, F. C. Lewis, is a fine representation of a hushed sylvan scene, full of poetry and sentiment. 389. The Peacocks, Lance, is one of the most astonishing bits of colouring we have seen a long time. The subject itself is nothing; but the gay varied plumage of the birds ' full expanded, is pour trayed with a spirit and lightness of touch, that war rants us in anticipating much that is valuable from the same artist. There are many other paintings in this collection to which we regret our limits will not'allow us to do justice. We must not, however, omit to mention the very masterly way in which Mr. Barnard has arranged the collection. It does credit to his taste and judgment. KING'S THEATRE. " Zelmira" was repeated' on Saturday night at this Theatre. It was composed by Rossini chiefly with a view to ingratiate himself with the Ger man cognoscenti, and was received at Vienna (where it was first acted,) with applause equal to what had ever been bestowed on the most finished Operas of Mozart. It is not, how ever, very popular in Italy. Madame Pasta under took " Zelmira," and gave prodigious interest to a story which would otherwise have appeared in sipid—even meagre. -An ingenious Sunday paper some months since compared this lady to Mrs. Sid tlons. For the life of us we cannot see how this comparison holds good. Mrs. Siddons (though equally impassioned) was the creature of highly finished art—dexterously concealed perhaps, but still art—her very gait, her manner, her assump tion, her queenlike Majesty, were all sophis ticated : her acting was the poetry, not the reality of life. Madame Pasta, on the contrary, is pure nature, without the slightest tincture of artifice. She trusts wholly to her impulses, and these, strange to say, have never yet deserted her. In this respect she resembles the late Mrs. Jordan, who was the Pasta of comic life, Signora • Brambilla is a young and improving actress. She does every thing with taste, and executed two cavatinas in the second actxith very surprising spirit. Toni was out of his element in 80, a remark which we may extend to Pellegrini. Curioni and Porto went through their parts respectably—nothing more. The ballet of " Hassan et le Calife" followed ; but, though re peated every night since its first appearance, does not seem to grow much on the favour of the audience. Its inordinate length may, perhaps, account for this.— The house was fully and fashionably attended. DURHAM ELECTION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DURHAM, FEB. 2.—What may take place at Weymouth I will not pretend to say, but the Editor of the Courier shows his extreme ignorance of northern politics, when he announces—as he does in the paper of Thursday last—that there will be " a strong contest in the county of Durham, in con sequence of the elevation of Mr. Lambton to the peerage." Nothing can be more remote from truth than such a declaration. Mr. Russell, who, un questionably, is a fit and proper person, by reason of his extensive possessions, to represent the county, will to a certainty be Mr. Lambton's successor. The Honourable Gentleman also, it may be ob served, will come in unopposed. The recollection of the heavy expences of the Northumberland elec tions in 1826, necessarily deters gentlemen from seeking honour with too much avidity, at the purse's mouth. Mr. Russell, from his address, seems anxious to stand well with his constituents. He is just enter ing on the stage of public life ; and if, while he ad vocates the just rights of the people, he shows a proper deference to the constitutional prerogatives of the Crown, he will be exactly such a represen tative as has ever found favour with the freeholders of this opulent county. It has been declared, upon authority, that there is no truth in the report cir culated, that the Marquis of Cleveland and Lord Durham had combined for the purpose of influencing the'election of the successor of the latter in the re presentation of this county. Mr. Russell, it is expected, will arrive at Brance peth Castle this day. On Monday he will corn. mence his canvass, which will be conducted upon as extensive a scale as circumstances will allow. But as the day of election is fixed for Wednesday the 13th inst., it is manifest that great activity must be used in making the personal acquaintance of so nu merous a body us the Freeholders of Durham.- Sir Henry Hardinge having resumed his situation as Clerk of the Ordnance, necessarily vacates his seat for the city. He is on the whole a very popu lar representative, but there is always a portion of the good citizens of Durham fond of electioneering amusements, viz. drunkenness and dissipation. Hence the activity of this party in sending a deputation of freemen to Robert Duncombe Shafto, Esq. of Whit worth Hall, That worthy gentleman, however, though he received the mission with all courtesy, positively declined haying any thing to do with Parliamentary affairs, Next Tuesday is fixed for the City election; and the gallant Colonel will no doubt again be honoured as the city's delegate, to the grand council of the nation, The Duchess of KENT gives a grand assem bly to a very numerous party of the nobility and gentry on the 15th inst. at her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington, previous to the marriage of the Princess FEODORE to the Prince of HoneNtong L A pGiEN/101JR0.- The marriage is fixed to take plane on the 18th inst. when his MAJESTY, it is expected, will honour it with his pre sence to give the bride away. The ceremony will be per formed in the most private manner, the members of the Royal Family only being present. Their Serene high nesses will leave England immediately after. The Duchess of CLARENCE, the Princess Emu.= of Carolath, and the Prince of Hourtitone. LAU arsßoußc, attended divine service at the Royal German chapel, St. James's Palace, yesterday. Divine service was performed yesterday before the Duchess of KENT and the Princesses VICTORIA and FEADORE, in the private chapel, Kensington Palace. Prince LEOPOLD left town on Friday for his seat at Claremont. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing -street, about one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, which was attended by the Duke of Wrl.Lptu- Toil, Earls BATHURST, DUDLEY*, and ABERDEEN, ViSCODDrB PALIHERSTON and MELvit.r.E, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. Secretary HustassoN, the CHAN CF.LI,OR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. C. GaANT, and Mr. HERR rES. The LORD CHANCELLOR joined his colleagues some time after they bad assetnb/A. The Ministers sat in deliberation till half-past three o'clock. After the breaking up of the Cabinet, the Duke of WELLINGTON forwarded the result of the deliberations to his MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, Windsor-park. Mr. HERMES came to town on Saturday morning from his seat at Montreal, for the purpose of at tending the Cabinet Council. Mr. HusictssoN, after attending the Cabinet Council, proceeded to his residence in Somerset-place, and After partaking of an early dinner, left town about five o'clock in his carriage and four for Liverpool. Mr. WA IN waroliT, secretary to the members for Liverpool, accom panied the Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. flusKissorr was expected to proceed to were lie was to sleep, and would leave there at an early hour yesterday morning for r. where th e Ri g h t H on. G ent l eman, it was calculated, would arrive late at night, t o avo id t h e f at i gue Liverpool, of a public reception. - . The Bishop of LLANDAFF transacted business on Saturday at the Home Office, Mr. iigitrtt Es and Mr. DAWSON transacted business with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on Saturday, at his residence in Downing-street. Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassa dor, had an interview with Earl DUDLEY, on Saturday, at the Foreign Office, Downing-strut. Sir ALEX. GRANT gave a grand dinner on Friday at his residence in Privy-gardens. Mr. Secretary Pair, the SPaAxE R of the Housr of Commotis, and Lord &tor, were of the party. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE-GENERAL transact ed business on Saturday at the Foreign Office, Downing street. Mr. HERRIES left town yesterday morning for NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSkOUTII, FEB. 2.---On Thursday his Ma jesty's ship Asia, 81, Captain Edward Curzon, C.B. (late the flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Codrington„ G.C.8.) ; Albion, 74, Captain John Acworth Ommanney, C.B. ; and the Rose, 18, Commander W. Wellesley, which ships formed part of the squadron that fought the gallant and arduous battle of Navarin, arrived from Malta, whence they sailed on the 29th December. Sir Edward Co drington's flag was left flying in the Talbot, 28, Captain Hon. Frederick Spencer, C.B. It cannot be expected, having had occasion to recur so often to the battle of Navarin, and drawn out information from such various sources, that we have now many new facts to communicate. When we reflect on the lreadful nature of the battle, as the c i rcumstances !lave been related to us by the victors,' it is a con 'olation to know that the contest was unavoidable; that it was evident, from the faithless, treacherous (!onduct of the Turkish Commander, in the movements (4' the fleet under his command, during the period of a month previous to the action, that the Treaty for the liberation of Greece from Turkish tyranny and cruelty could not be carried into effect but by force of arms. This appears to be a universal impression upon our officers ; was equally felt, we are assured, by ou r brave Allies; and has since been confirmed by the words of the Egyptian Commander himself. We have it confirmed, by the boarding officers, that tho two ships of the line which bore the flags of the Turkish and Egyptian Commanders, had 1050 men killed and wounded. The carnage was so dreadful — the sight was so appalling—that, as they passed along the decks, humanity was affected at the sight: They turned away, and did not visit those parts where the calls of duty did not direct them. There is no doubt but that the Turkish Admiral had, for some time, contemplated a contest, and, consequently; with the known characteristic of his countrymen, he had, with the most savage cruelty, determined to blow up his ships, with all their re maining crews, rather than make an honourable sur render to a victorious adversary. All his ships, there is reason to believe, were previously prepared with combustible trains, or fitted as fire-ships, to effect this horrible purpose; and so determined and direful were the means employed, that several of the large ships which blew up, were not only torn into fragments, but the concussion upset the smaller vessels which lay near them, and threw their crews into a scarcely less horrible abyss, and equally certain death. It was found that our ships had a great ad vantage in well-practised gunnery; not a shot was fired by them that did not some execution, while it %vas evident that the Turks fired high, and at random, by which our ships sustained the greatest loss in t heir masts and rigging, and those of the crew suffered most who were posted on the poop, forecastle, and quarter-deck. Their guns were loaded with almost every kind of destructive instrument, beside shot, known in the heart of war; each of the line of battle ships was fitted with four guns on a side, of about ten inch bore, to fire marble shot, which passed through the sides of our ships, and then broke, and flew about in pieces; these shot each weighed 1201b5. , It will appear, we think, that Sir Edward drington'i instructions were, to oblio ineTurkish and Egyptian ships to return to their. respective ports of departure—Constantinopl e and Alexandria, and to remain there whilst the negociations were going on at Constantinople for the settlement of the affairs of Greece, , according to the Treaty of London. He was to understand that this was the unalterable determination of the Allied Powers, and, therefore; if, after using all means of expostulation and of persuasion with Ibrahim Pacha he should still persist in offensive operations against the Greeks, he was to warn him of the danger he was incurring by his conduct, and at last resort to shot, to oblige him to comply. Sir Edward under. took to convey Ibrahim Pacha's division of the ar mament back tO Constantinople, and Moharem Bey to Alexandria, free from all danger or molestation from either Lord Cochrane or any of the Greek forces. In the last interview Sir Edward had with Ibrahim, he forewarned him that any resistance to this intention ntnst be attended with the cap ture- of his ships; Ibrahim replied—" You may destroy them, but you will never capture them,"—.. This expression was understood to mean, that he would himself give orders for their destruction, should any collision take place between them ; and which he fulfilled nearly to the letter, as not more than three ships cf the fleet were seen to strike their colours. Tahir Pacha (the Turkish Admiral) wen.; on board the Asia the next morning; in conversation on what had passed be shed tears at the destruction of his ships.—lt is known that the Egyptian Admi ral's (Moharem Bey) ship had a considerable quan tity of money on board. It appears, by the last ac counts from Navarin 13,ay (brought to Malta by the Parthian), that three of the Egyptian frigates had been put into such a state of refitment, as may possibly, if they do not meet with bad weather, enable them to reach Alexandria; into one of which the treasure had been put. Neither of the Admiral's ships was totally destroyed; their crews cut their cables and they drifted on shore. Never were ships to beaten as those composing the Turkish fleet: we are assured that scarcely a hand's hroadth space appeared in their sides that was not shot through; some ports were literally beaten in, the guns were dismounted, and fell in upon the crippled decks.— The Asia and Albion have not suffered much in their hull; they would not have returned to England if their services had been further required, as they wanted only lower mast: and spars to put them again in nhethce Isis, to into a state cf efficiency for service. Commodore t S ai t n ain H es a h m a i d ltor l i e , ft c succeed o Thomas s p to of the detached squadron ir. the Archipelago, The Cambrian will return to England, having been seve ral years employed in that service. The following ships were left at Malta :—Talbot (with the flag of Sir Edward Codrington), Dart mouth, Rifleman, Parthian, Ariadne, Rattlesnake Pelican, 4T7,sper, Philomel, and Zebra, and the Rus sian squadron under Rear-Admiral Count Heiden. The Warspite sailed for Corfu, on the 25th of Dec. PASSENGERS BY TUE 'Ass/L.—Commanders J. Monday and R. F. Gamble, of the Navy; Mrs. Wylly (relict of Colonel Wylly) and family; Capt.

Last evening his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral arrived at the Admiralty Hour.e, and dined with the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert •Stopford, K.C.B. This morning at nine o'clock, his Royal Highness embarked in the Meteor steamer, de under a the salute troops from fo r the me(i batteries,around the lines an in da feu , and proceeded to Spithead to visit the Asia, Albion, and Rose.

Campbell, and Windsor Castle, Capt. E. L King, were towed into the Sound on Wednesday The lower deck guns of the Windsor Castle has qeen taken out,- and she i to proceed to Lisbon, to assist in bringing home the troops from Portugal. The Ocean will also proceed to Lisbon, from whence she will take the 43d regiment to Gibraltar, and, we understand, is destined for Sir Edward Cothington's flag, in the Mediterranean. They are under orders to sail the moment the wind is fair, though it, is sup posed they will join the squadron intended to ac company his Royal Highness Don Miguel to Por tugal. Yesterday the Dutch corvette of war, Lys, Capt. Van Luxembourg, anchored in the Sound,. on . her way to Cadiz and Batavia,, hiving injured her rudder off Cape Finisterre, which obliged her to bear up for this port to repair damage. • . His Majesty's ship Maidstone was taken into'dock yesterday. Her repairs will occupy a considerable: time. All was well,on board his Majesty's ship , Hussar, 46, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Captain Boxer, at Bermuda, on the Bth ult., as also on board the Coromandel, now permanently stationed at that port. His Majesty's ship Cordelia arrived at Shields on Friday, the 2,5 th, having been blown off the Coast in the late gales, which forced her to keep at sea nearly seven weeks. Thursday being the anniversary of the King's accession, the usual salutes were fired from the bat-. teries and the ships in harbour. The day was ulso celebrated by the ringing of bells and other public rejoicings. ORDINARY SERVICE,..--.By a recent regulation, Captains to be, in future, appointed to this service must be out of the first hundred on the list, and the Commanders to be of fifteen years' standing.

We h ave oak: from Africa, teak-wood front the East Indies, fir from Canada and the Baltic, and mahogany fioni the West Indie's. Some years ago, when captweed..SpELT! nish ships were titkeit into dock, great c'ariosity was excited among thevartificers, and the vessels were isitedby many, to . observe the thensealled extrava gant use of so precious a . inaterial as mahogany. Now it lies in immense masses around our docks, farms portions of our ships, and is a part of the regular yearly supply. `We cannot with too much earnestness recom mend to the maritime counties of E ng l an d t h e adoption of Associations for the Preservation of Life fro Shipwreck. • We happily boast, within he limits of our port, of an Association and Branch Of the Royal National Institution, for the Preserva tion of Life from Shipwreck, who have provided a life-boat, which is stationed in Cawsand B a y ; an d raft truly add, that th e adVantages' arising from the establishment have been fully felt, during the 'late gales, in the relief of many a shipwrecked fellow creature.
