ALCOCK FOR EAST SURREY Four days only have elapsed since at one of the largest meetings ever held in this county, THOMAS ALCOCK, Esq., was nominated with acclamation to be the champion of the Liberal interest. A personal canvass at this late period is obviously impossible, but he has already visited many districts, and will attend meetings in at-r parts of the county, so as to afford the fullest, opportunity of ascertaining his sentiments. We are delighted to state that we have found the independent Electors true to the great cause of civil and religious freedom. The returns now sent in prove that, by a continuance of the noble determination and exertions already displayed, success must, and will be the result.

Miming 55 minutes after 0 Evening 24 minutes after 1. Duke of Algiers, and might have mentioned se- 1 veral other, if minor, instances of forts battered and captured by British ships. The Earl of HARDWICKE, a naval, and Lord HILL, a military man, expressed their cordial concurrence in the vote ; and the Noble Lord properly alluded to the gallant conduct of Sir C. SMITH. The motion was agreed to nem. con., and the LORD CHANCELLOR directed to commu municate the thanks of the Peers to the Officers mentioned. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Third Report on Earl CARDIG AN'S case. It referred to the fitting up of the House, and stated that seats would be provided for 640 persons. Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition from Leicester, for relief from Church-rates, inquired whether Ministers had any intention of intro ducing a measure for giving relief to the Dis senters. Lord BROUGHAM properly pointed out that the Magistrates began to complain of the disagreeable duty of enforcing Church-rates. Viscount MELBOURNE was not able to give any answer to Lord BROUGHAM'S question. Lord BROUGHAM afterwards defended the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council from some strictures which the Conservative Sir E. SUGDEN had made on it in the House of Commons, and showed that it had sat in 1840 thirty days, while it had been asserted that it had sat only eighteen. The Noble Lord obtained some returns to show how often the Court had sat in each year since 1834. In the Commons, Mr. GLADSTONE for Walsall, Mr. SMYTHE for Canterbury, and Lord EASTNOR for Reigate, took their seats. Mr. HODGSON HINDE moved that the sum of 101. per cent., required by the Standing Order No. 32 to be deposited on all railway un dertakings before the Bill be brought in, should be reduced to 51. per cent. The Hon. Member grounded his motion on the great impediment the order was to the construction of railways, which had been much impeded by its operation. Mr. LABOUCHERE, without being inimical to railroads, thought it his duty to oppose the mo tion. The rule had worked well, and, as a proof that it (lid not interfere with making railways, there were 58 notices of Bills for new railways. Mr. WARBURTON, WllO was so instrumental, we remember, in breaking up two or three bubble companies, also opposed the motion, and stated that since the rule was laid down OS Bills for railways had passed, and 55,000,000/. of capital had been invested in them. Mr. BROTHERTON took the same side, and stated that a Railway Company had obtained a Bill to pass through Salford, which contained a clause making it optional to them to complete the railway, in consequence of which land there could not be disposed of: Mr. O'CONNELL and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the motion ; the latter wished that the period for making the deposit should be before the works were begun, not before the Bill was brought in. Viscount HOWICK and Mr. FRESIIFIELD spoke against it, and Mr HIN DE'S motion was lost on a division by 15 to 144. Mr. O'CONNELL announced his intention to call the attention of the House to the State of Texas on the 18th instant. If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would take a hint from us, we would recommend him to stick to Ireland and leave the Texans to take care of themselves. We hope Mr. O'CONNELL'S interference is not suggested in any roundabout way by the Catholic hierarchy of Mexico. Sir J. HOBHOUSE, in reply to questions put by Sir R. IsGms, stated that he should lay more papers on the table relative to the idolatrous practices in India, and he thought when they were before the House the Hon. Baronet would find a good deal of satisfactory information in them. A good deal had been (lone towards relieving the British soldiers in India, from the grievances of which they complained, and they were not compelled to attend at any festival not consonant to the Christian religion. In reply to Sir EA RDLEY WILMOT, who mentioned a case of a child imprisoned two months for stealing an egg without any trial, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was not instructed 1 to prepare any Bill for establishing a Court for the trial of juvenile offenders. We thought that of all things there was punishment enough in the land, but some men out of pure benevolence gloat on stripes, imprisonment, chain-gangs, and hanging. Mr. KELLY having ascertained from Mr. Fox MAULS that the Government meant to bring forward a measure relative to the punishment of death, but not co-extensive with Mr. KELLY'S views, the Hon. Member gave notice that he would, on Monday next, ask leave to bring in his Bill. Lord MORFETH asked leave - to bring in a Bill to amend the Registration and define the Franchise of Electors in Ireland. The Noble Lord ex plained, at great length, the provisions of the Bill, and pointed out many of the anomalies and incongruities of the present system. But all else that he said was swallowed up by his proposition relative to the fran chise, which took the House, and will, we be- Heve, take the country by surprise. The Noble Lord proposes, as we understand, to introduce a uniform franchise, something between the pre sent 101. clear interest above charges—which seems to mean nobody knows exactly what—and the old 40s. franchise, a franchise founded on being rated to the poor for a tenement of 51. annual value, and who has at the same time a fourteen years' interest in his holding. Consider ing the state of property in the two countries, this lowering of the amount will scarcely place Ireland on a level with England. It is, however, a step towards doing justice to her population, and so we hope it will be received throughout England. Lord STANLEY immediately pounced on it, and declared that the measure was a new Reform Bill for Ireland. He affirmed that it was giving the franchise to persons not property. - It was giving a vote to every man in possession of a cabin and two acres of land. The Noble Lord is accus tomed to . speak of his fellow-creatures, who are not born to wealth, with great contempt, and he did not forget his habit in his arrogant objections to Lord Monpurn's project. Viscount HOWICK, to our great satisfaction, ' declared Ids hearty concurrence in the proposi tion of his Noble Friend. The amount which is to confer franchise, the Noble Lord thinks, may be a subject of discussion, but the principle has his approval. He thinks Ireland in great dan ger, arising mainly from the language and con duct of the Tories. Mr. O'CosNEss expressed his satisfaction with the measure, and told the House —warning them that France might have a war when she was pre pared for it—that they had got perhaps a last opportunity of reconciling the people of Ireland to the House, and he conjured them nut to throw it away. Some considerable discussion followed, inwhich the Tories abused the plan and the Reformers praised it. We are much disposed to applaud because it excited Lord STANLEY'S ire. It seems a long step towards good—it will be an excellent principle to work out for England ; and as the Tories seem to visit it at once with their wrath, we hope that it will excite the enthwiastic support of all the Liberalsin the empire. Leave was, of course, given to bring in the Bill. The battle will be on the second reading. Mr. LA BOUCHERE, after some discussion on the principle of managing railways, to which we must hereafter refer, obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better Regulation of Railways. The Bill, which we consider a most important one, was brought in and read a first time. Mr. PLUMPTRE, as in duty bound, objected to allowing railway carriages to run on Sundays. Lori JOHN RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better Registration of Parliamentary Electors in England, the principal feature of which is the establishment of a Court of Appeal. The Noble Lord also obtained a Select Com mittee to inquire into the condition of the Colony of South Australia, which he described as badly governed, and deeply in debt. Sir E. PoLLocK obtained leave to bring in two Bills, one to amend the Law relating to Double Costs, Notices of Action, Limitations of Actions, and Pleas of the General Issue; and the other, to allow a Writ of Error in all cases of Judgment upon a Writ of Mandamus. Lord ASHLEY also carried an amended Ad dress for a Commission to inquire into the em ployment of young persons and children in fac tories. The House adjourned before Eleven o'Clock. Though unable now to discuss even one of the great questions last night mooted, we are bound to say that the House got through a great deal of preparatory business, and began work which will take a long time to com plete. But work well begun, says the proverb, is half ended ; and we hope that the commence ment of the New Reform Bill, is a happy augury to its successful completion. The Paris Journals of Tuesday announce that the Fortifications Bill passed the Chamber of Deputies article by article on Monday ; and on the whole Bill being put to the vote, it was car ried by a majority of seventy-five-237 votes being given for the Bill, and 175 against it. The doom of Paris appears sealed. The walls will perfect the system of centralization established by N APOLEON, and France will be made to feel under the ORLEANS dynasty a despotism more oppressive and more powerful than she ever ex perienced under the galling yoke of the BouR BONS, even in the palmy days of Louts XI V. and his successor. - Under the old regime, the despotism of the SOVEREIGN was tempered and ameliorated by a system of local Go vernment, which has now disappeared in France. The Commune formed on the model of a well-regulated family—the Province with its federal rights and privileges—the Provincial Parliaments, with their powers of refusing to register the Royal decrees, and thus rendering them inoperative —were all so many bulwarks of liberty no longer existing in France. And what has France obtained in lieu of them? A parch ment acknowledgment of the popular Sove reignty. A charter or constitution, two Cham bers, in which, so long as placemen, pensioners, prefects, and other officers, are admissible, the Crown can easily command a majority ; and, to crown all, fourteen forts round Paris, a strong wall of circumvallation, eighty bastions, and 2,600 pieces of cannon! With the charter and the Chambers France might have been content, the corporate rights which she enjoyed under the Bourbons, but the fortresses, the bastions, and the wall of cir cumvallation, virtually abolish the Charter, by placing all power in the hands of the KING, and reduce the Chambers to mere Courts for the registration of the Acts of the Cabinet. It is stated in the best informed political cir cles in Paris, that the energy displayed by M. TRIERS in getting the Bill passed, has entirely reinstated him in the good graces of the KING, and that a time is actually fixed for his return to office. M. TIMERS set a trap for GUIZOT and SOULT, and both have been now caught in it. By supporting the Fortifications' Bill they have admitted that all the expenses to which he put France in warlike preparations against the Allies, were justified under the then existing circumstances. They have even clone more. They have, by now supporting the Bill, assumed as a fact that France is still me naced by the Four Powers, and requires to guard against a sudden invasion of her territory. It is not enough, in the opinion of the KING and courtiers to have fortresses—it is requisite that they should be so placed and constructed as to command every faubourg of the capital. With so pliant a tool as THIERS at the head of the Mi nistry, this could be easily accomplished. But after the exposures that have been made of the duplicity of M. TIMERS, as Foreign Minister, it is impossible to conceive how he could have the audacity to accept, or the KING so much dis regard of the feelings of his Allies as to offer him, that office. If to his smattering knowledge of so many things, M. THIERS had added a smat tering of strategy, and the details of the Com missariat, the Ministry of War would be now the grand object of his ambition. There he could build fortresses after the KING'S own heart— such as would have delighted the founders of the Bastile, had they appeared in their day. But M. TRIERS at present would be well content with the Ministry of the Interior; but if he have a seat in in the Cabinet during the life-time of Louts PHILIPPE, then will the KING forfeit the confidence and respect of every honest patriot in Europe. The KING and the Minister will be then on a level in all that regards aban donment of principle and reckless disregard of personal character. The much talked-of Treaty of Commerce be tween England and France is again on the tapir. The following article upon it appears in the Courricr Francais of Tuesday : A j iurnal stated on Sunday that the British Govern ment wanted to know M. Gwzot's intentions on the sub ject of the Treaty of Commerce, the conclusion of which had been suspended by the late events. It appears, in fact, that Lord Palmerston has represented to the French Cabinet, in • very urgent note, that the time had arrived for signing that convention, iu case the Ministry of the 29th October adopted the basis laid down by the Ist March. As the Treaty in question is limited to stipulating recipro cal reductions in the customs' duties, and as those reforms are for the interest of both countries, there is no impedi ment to take it into consideration. We shall not advise concessions to be made at this moment to England. But if the British Government admits our wines, our brandies, and our silks, at moderate duties, we have no reasonable motive for rejecting the stuffs or merchandise which it may send us in exchange for our produce.

It was reported in Brussels, on Sunday, that the Govern ment was preparing a general measure for repair ing all individual losses sustained during the Re volution, and also the losses sustained by the late dreadful inundations. The King of PRUSSIA has fixed the 28th of February for the opening of the Provincial As semblies of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Prussia, Posen, Silesia, Saxony, and Westphalia. The Assembly of the province of the Rhine will meet in May next, according to established usage. A letter which we have received from St. Petersburgh, says that a great sensation has been caused by the news that the young Prince Gallitzen and Count Von Stackel berg, both of them belonging to the Russian Legation a t Rome, have embraced the Roman Catholic religion. It is said that, besides being deprived of their titles of no bility, they are both threatened with the confiscation of their property. Prince Gallitzen has great estates in Russia. —Allgemeine Zeitung, Jan. 29. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. - - CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. There was a heavy market all day for the public securities, and a disposition to sell. Money has become deidedly t'ghter in the City, and especially in the Stock Exchange, where, a short time back, it was worth so little. There are fears now that the large supplies of money that will be required by the French Government to carry out the construction of the fortifications, must be partly drawn from this country, or at any rate, by absorbing large amounts of capital in France, will have a tendency to influence unfavourably the Foreign Ex changes. These causes led to a reduction in Consols from 89+ to 89, the latest bargains being at 891 for Money ; and from 891 to 89+, closing at 89+ buyers for Account ; Exchequer Bills were worth 3s. to ss. premium ; and India Bonds 6s. to 14s. discount: Bank Stock was lower, viz., 164 to 164} ; the Reduced Three per Cents. ranged from 891 to 89i. There was a heavy market still for the foreign semi- % ritics. Spanish Active Bonds were at 241 to 24+ ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 32 ; Brazilian at 72+ ; Mexican at 271, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 50. The Railway Shares receded a little. Great Wes tern were as last marked, 251, London and Birming ham 85, York and North Midland 25 premium ; Brighton were 7, and the South Eastern and Dover Shares 15 discount ; Provincial Bank of Ireland New Shares were at 7 premium. The accounts received from Liverpool this afternoon furnish no further information respecting the accounts by the Cambridge packet from New York. (From The .!un of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—Since our report of Friday last a very fair extent of business bas been done, and there was rather an improved tone in the market. Up to yesterday prices were more steady than during last week, but still the trade did not push their purchases willingly, speculators showing more disposition to buy. The sales to the latter during three days, say Saturday, Monday, and yesterday, are about 4,500 bales, all American ; to-day they are not in the market, which, in concluence of the report from Manchester being not so favourable, is flit, and the business doing moderate, with a difficult) in obtaining the prices of yesterday. The sales to-day arc about 2,000 to 2 500 bales of all 'kinds.

SOCIETY OF PUBLIC EFFECTS, AMSTERDAM, JAN. 31 The firmness which prevailed yesterday in our prices prevailed this day. sustained by the improvement of Lon don and Paris. Business was animated in Integrales, and the liquidation in the Society of Commerce of this day contributed to the activity of the transactions.

The British Market continues rather heavy, in conse quence of the Supplies coming on to-morrow in the House of Commons, and the speculators not knowing as yet the measures Ministers intend to adopt in raising the wild, as well as the amount they will require at present ; as yet it is very uncertain if they will fund or raise it by a loan.

Thi, gentleman, who for several years wa s in partnership with his father in Birmingham, and carried on business under the firm of Willis and Son, blank tray manufacturers and japanners, left England about seven years ago for the ' West Indies. He took with him a considerable consign ment of Birmingham hardware, and established stores in Jamaica. In a few months after he landed in that country he was made a Magistrate, when he immediately com menced studying the law, under the tuition of a very able practitioner. The zealous performance of his magisterial duties, and the ability he displayed upon the bench, soon obtained for him the approbation and support of the Go vernor; and within eighteen months of his arrival in the c Tony he was honoured with the appointment of a stipen diary Magistrate, with a salary of 5101. per annum. In three years afterwards he was made Assistant Ju.'gc, at 1,0001. a year; and we are assured, on the authority of a relative, that intelligence has been lately received in Bir. mingham of our highly esteemed townsman Mr. George Willis, having received the high honour of being appointed a West India Judge, at a salary of 2,8001. per annum. Judge Willis is the eldest and only son now living of Mr. Willis a retired tradesman, residing at Edgbaston. He married the niece of Robert Cooper, Esq., of Pcdwortb, near Evesham.—Ten Town.?

Lord HOLLAND took his scat last night in the House of Peers. The. Earl of MINTO moved that the thanks of the Rouse of Lords be given to Admiral Sloe- Pot'co, Commodore NAPIER, and the other officers, seamen, and marines, serving on board the English Fleet on the coast of Syria, —to Sir CHARLES SMITH and the officers of the Royal Engineers employed in the same service,—to Admiral BANDEIRA, of the Austrian Fleet,—and to Admiral WALKER, of the Turkish Fleet, for their gallant services in the reduction of Acre, on November 3, and on the coast of Syria. The Noble Earl on making this motion, the first Par liamentary recognition of the gallantry of our officers and seamen, spoke in high terms of the rapidity of the execution, and the number of gal lant and Successful enterprises that were crowded into tbt short period between the 19th of Sep terP.'oer, when Admiral STOPFORD received the refusal of the PACHA to accept of terms, and Commodore NAPIER landed at Beyrout, and the 3d of November, when the naval operations were completely triumphant by the capture of Acre. Of course the Gallant Commodore was a promi nent figure in the eulogium of the Noble Earl, but was kept in due subordination to the mas ter,-hand that launched him in the career of victory. The Noble Earl did his pleasant task in a pleasing manner. Lord COLCHESTER concurred with Lord MINT°, and said it must have added to the No ble Earl's satisfaction that he had a son employed • in the service. The Noble Lord exulted at these successes, as a refutation of those who had slip posed•that our officers and seamen had degenera ted, and said of Sir R. STOPFORD that were he to go through the whole of his services he must give the history of the Navy for sixty years. Thanks for such valuable services were . ..all that the house could oive, but he trusted that those who had the power would bestow more substantial rewards. ' 1 The Puke of WELLINGTON expressed his cur dial concurrence in the vote, but stated that it ''was an unusual, occurrence for ships to take forts, and warned their Lordships not to rely on similar • success in future. We think the Noble Duke rather over-rated his own profession, and was ra ther_ oblivious of the - former .services of. British beets. The Earl of MINT() reminded the Noble COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen will hold a Privy Council at three o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty held a Court yesterday afternoon at Buck ingham Palace, for the reception of Addresses from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, on the Throne.

MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR. ALCOCK. Last night a numerous and respectable meeting of the electors of East Surrey, resident in the borough of Lam beth, was held at the White Hart Tavern, Kennington cross, for the purpose of adopting measures for promoting the return of Mr. Alcock. The large room was completely filled. William Hawes, Esq., was called to the chair. Resolutions were passed to the effect that in the present critical state of the country it was incum bent upon the electors to return to Parliament a gentleman of independent principles and of Liberal and enlightened views, and that the meeting pledged itself to support Mr. Alcock. That g( ntle man being called upon presented himself. He said that he considered the present system of Corn-laws as odious and impolitic. If the Corn-laws were repealed the Poor laws would disappear altogether. From chat ha had seen in foreign countries, he was satisfied that poverty and dis content were the offspring of bad Government. And here he would beg not to be understood as referring to the pre sent Government particularly, but to the general system of government under which the Poor-laws and Corn-laws, and other objectionable measures, bad grown up. If the Corn-laws were abolished, and a better and more pure system of taxation adepted, such as had been recom mended and brought forward by Mr. Robinson, the Mem ber for Worcester, who proposed to leave productive in dustry untouched, and to make those who had most pay most—then such a thing as Poor-laws would cease to exist altogether. The next qu. stion was that of the Church rates. He was altogether opposed to the abuses of the system, and it had been admitted by Lord John Russell, when proposing a measure on the subject, that more than one-half of the amount of Church -rates, which taken alto gether exceeded the sum of 550,0001, was founded on abuse. With regard to triennial Parliaments, he agreed with Mr. Babington Macaulay, , A o told his con stituents at Edinburgh that if they made elections too frequent, they would not get men of character and property willing to incur the great expense which such a system would entail.—( Hear, hear.) He thought, however, that the present system should be shortened, and he would be willing to support a proposition to restrict it to five years. The next question was the extension of the suf frage. He had always stated that he was an advocate for the Household Suffrage in boroughs, and had supported Sir Ilesketh Fleetwood's motion for extending the 501. clause in counties to 101. renters. The Tory party seemed to claim for themselves exclusive attachment to the Constitution in Church and State. He, however, laid claim to the same privilege, for he was a stanch member of the Established Ch , ,rch, but at the same time he eat; a friend to religious freedom all over the world. —(Cheers.)" When he was abroad he had seen in Po land and Cracow the poor Jews subjected to the most intolerable oppression, and deprived of all legal redress; and on his return he supported Sir Robert Grant's mo tion for the emancipation of the Jews, in opposition to the Duke of Wellington's Government, and had the satis faction upon two occasions of voting with the majority —( Hear, hear ) This, he believed, nisposed of all the questions put by Mr Fall ; and he would be very g'ad to answer any other that aught be put by any other gen tleman. Whatever might be the result of the present contest, he should always feel grate ful to the county for the ereat kindness with which he had been received. He felt that if he ab eidened the contest now he would be unworthy of the confides nee reposed in him, but he was determined to fight the battle to ohe last ; and it was for them to decide whether they would have Mr. Antrobus and a Tory Governmeet, or himself and Liberal principles. The Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. GRENFELL (son of the late Pascoe Grenfell, Esq , M. P.) next addressed the meeting as the personal and old friend of Mr. Alcock, and bore eloquent testimony to the Hon. Gentleman's excellent qualities in all the relations of life.—A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting, afier three hearty cheers fur Mr. Alcock, dispersed. • MORMONISM.—We understand that the latter day Saint speculation is likely to answer very well in this town, as far as the scheme of making proselytes goes. A number of weak-minded females were " dipped" in the tide, according to the dictum of the officiating Saint, on Thursday last, near the Poor-house Slip, about the time of bigh•water ; and in the evening of the same day, we believe, some of the roug her sex w ere souse d a ll over hea d and cars in the same elemen'. The imposition of hands is to follow ; and eveh dupe, after paying the fee, can then lay claim to inspirati,n. Mormon prophets arc becoming as numerous in Douglas as the prophets of Baal were in the days of Elijah ; and the former are as great impostors as the latter were—besides, the Mormon seers, arc greater knaves. We should not be surprised to hear of some of the fanatics paying the forfeit of their byes, for being guilty of such presurop!uons folly as plung i ng into cold water at the present inclement season.— The Manx Liberal OBEDIENCE TO THE LETTER. —Seine good people, anxious that their negcoes should be well dressed, and testify by their appearance bow spiedily they were ap proaching civilizition, gave out, among other raiment, some boots, many which had tops to them. As these boots were to be used but upon full dress occasions, the following order was passed:—" The labourers arc . to ap pear at church only in boots."

I have no serious reparation to require for the very personal attacks to which I have been exposed on the part of Engiish journalists, and especially of the writers in The Sun and Herald, on the subject of my drama, it eteit une roil tin Roi et une Reine. Men of sense and honour, and there arc many such in England, wilt appreciate the opinion that ought to be entertained of insults of this kind directed from the other side of ;he water.

What I am less inclined to pardon on the part of a Journal of a graver character, the Times, is the having given to its readers a quotation and an analysis of my production. Men who ate really gentlemen never commit indiscretions of that kind, because they must take their origin in an act of robbery. I will Lem no time, however, in assuring the Editors of the Times that their analysis and quotation have no feature of truth about them. Those persons who, in order to please them, have rendered themselves liable to be had up before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, did the job clumsily ; they thought to get hold of my watch, but they only carried off my handkerchief. I hope, there fore, that the Editors of the Times will accept my sincere regret at not having been better robbed for their sake. The author of "' ETAIT UNE Foss UN ROI ET UNE REINS.'

PC RTSMOUTIL—An augmentation of the Royal Marine Corps has been ordered, report says to the extent of 3,000 men, which is strongly indicative of a further increase to the navy in the spring. Several splendid ships at the different ports are silently, but expeditiously, being completed for commission. The Vindictive and Warspite, 50-gun ships, are ordered for commission at this port as soe, as ready. The former is said to be intended for the Lisbon command, with a Commodt re's pendant. Rear. Admiral Sir Edward King, K. C. 8., reached Rio de Janeiro, in the Southampton frigate, from Plymouth on the 14th of November, and was to proceed to the Pacific in about ten days, to succeed Rear-Admiral Ross, ‘ei ho will return to England in the President 4igate, and may be expected home about April next. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Pring, has received orders to proceed to the Mediterranean, it is reported, to supply the place of the Pique, 36, ordered home to be docked, &c. She was to leave Plymouth on Tuesday for Malta, taking out between 300 and 400 volunteer seamen for dis posal in the fleet. The Endymion frigate, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, is under orders for the East Indies, to join Rea-Admiral Eiliott's squadron, for whom she will take despatches and supernumeraries for the squadron.
