THE FIRST LIEUTENANT OF THE Vicroisx.—By I the appointment of Lieutenant R. E. Bullen (1830), as Senior Lieutenant to the Victory, vice Herrick, promoted, another act of justice has been done the • ervice by Sir F. Baring. Lieutenant Bullen has served upwards of seventeen years %float, the greater part of that time in the West Indies and coast of Africa, and his already held the position of Senior Lieutenant of various ships for newly five years. He is the nephew of a most distinguish , d nfficer, Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Bullen, K.C.B , &e., and has been Second Lieutenant of the Victory fur the last 15 months. MANNING THE NAVY.—Notwithstanding the num bers of seamen that have been paid oft• during the last nine months, and the numbers of extra men borne in the books of the guard ships, there has been the greatest difficulty experienced in filling up the complement of the Caledonia to 950, that is of en tering some 300 blue jackets; and at length the Ad miralty were compelled to open a rendezvous at Ports mouth, and go to the expense of sending steamers to and fro between Devonport and Portsmouth for their conveyance. It appears that Captain Carter has been very particular in his selection, refusing to enter any man who had not a " very good" certificate up to the last moment; when, finding that the " very good had been starved away out of the ports to seek some other mode of livelihood than that of service on board a man-of-war,' he at length felt disposed to accept " good" seamen. It was now, however, Jack's turn to refuse, and refuse numbers did, swearing that they would rather join the merchant service or follow their shipmates to America than accept such offer. The Caledonia was 80 men short yesterday, but it is expected that she will sail to-morrow for the Mediter ranean nevertheless. SAILORS' HOME, DUBLlN.—Captain W. H. Hall, of her Majesty's steamer Dragon, now on the coast of Ireland, having been lately awarded some salvage money from the Admiralty Court there, for assisting. at great risk and peril, a Spanish vessel in distress, has munificently given 2001. of this money to open a subscription for the endowment of a Sailors' Home at the port of Dublin. Among the benefactors to so truly humane and national a work we find recorded the names of those steady, liberal, and persevering friends of seamen—Admiral Dudley Oliver and Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of London ; the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P.; Captains Janus, Coote, Sotheby, and Rawdon McClean, of the Navy ; and Henry Scovell, Esq., E. Hayes, LL.D., and G. Roe, Esq., of Dublin. The subscription already amounts to 500/., and is fast progressing, under the direction of a provisional com mittee, of which the warm-hearted Admiral Oliver has been elected president, and Captain Hall, F.R.S, of her Majesty's ship Dragon, honorary secretary. FOREIGN TIMBER FOR THE DOCKYARDS.—ln structions have been issued to the dockyards to the effect that in future the officers of the service are to co-operate with the officers of the Customs in the measurement of all foreign timber received into the royal establishments. VALUE OF DOCKYARD STOCK.---Mr. Freeman, the store receiver of Sheerness Dock-yard, who has been absent on special duty for nearly nine months, has been appointed by the Admiralty to determine the value of the dock) and stock of timber, in which service their Lordships have ordered him to be assisted by Mr. J. Bennett, the timber inspector of Portsmouth Dockyard. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, FEB. 28, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 60S 6,581 744 :,901 864 166 10.063 7.474 SlR,—lndependent of the reasonable objections *MA are, and may be, urged against the removal of poor per sons to, as is termed in law, " the place of last legal settlement," I think there is not a member of the bar, nor a respectable solicitor, but who is ashamed (though called upon to perform their duty honourably to their clients) of the special pleading and the vast nicety now required in a case of removal. The amendments of the law are in the right direction, provided the forms were but plain, simple, and straightforward, instead of which they are confounded, intricate, and crooked. I lift up my humble voice in favour of a total abolition of the law of removal. March 12, 1849. A PROFESSIONAL COURT OF ALDERMEN.-Yesterday a special court was held to consider certain clauses in the Bill now be fure Parliament, disqualifying aldermen under circum stances therein stated. The principal clauses alluded to, which were read, were to the effect, " That any alderman or common councilman of the city of London becoming a bankrupt or an insolvent debtor, or compounding with his coeditors, or absenting himself, unless obliged so to do by illness, or other reasonable cause, for more than six calendar nienths at ono time, from his duties, or being convicted of fraud, &c., shall be immediately disqualified to hold the office." Sir Peter Laurie having expressed his satisfaction at the contemplated enactment, Alderman Humphery objected to the words in the clause " other reasonable excuse," as he could not see who were to be the judges of " reasonatile excuse." Several of the alder men present said, the Court of Aldermen were to be the judges. The Lord Mayor, in answer to some obser vations from Alderman Hooper, said it was clear by the Bill they were discussing, that no alderman who did not pay twenty shillings in the pound could be re elected. Alderman Wilson thought the 7th clause of great utility.

Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest , transparent power. The valuable advantage derived , from this invention over the Spectacles now in Common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnif)ing power, and that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is that they do not require the frequent change to further helps.

The large number of entigrant3 who have left Great Britain for the United States and the Canadas in the past year has suggested the idea of an Association for the purpose of affording increased facilities to those intending to emigrate towards gaining for them a location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir- ins it. This Association, having already formed a very extended con nexion in the United States and the Canadas, proposes to confine its operations exclusively to these countries, and chiefly to the former. It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United States are composed of smell capitalists, who, for the most part, have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage and the purchase of a location. To such parties loss of time is a great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in search of a location too frequently absorb their small means. They ate in general unacquainted with the geography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles to land, when they do not come direct front the Government, are often defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a great risk of not being able to fix himself in that portion of the United States where his previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These and many other considerations equally important will naturally in duce emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves under the auspices of an Associaticn having the disposal of lands more or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting which every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur nished the emigrant beforehand. The choice of a state is often of much importance. The quality of the land, its title guaranteed, its contiguity to markets, the cost of labour and value of produce, facilities of transport, as well as the climate and the healthiness of the district—all these are of great con sequence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting on his own experience, he could barely hope to acquire after a lengthened residence in the country. In addition to this, the Association, by its arrangements for the voyage out, and transport of the emigrant from the port of debark ation to tai interior, will enable the emigrant to economize his weans so that neither his time nor his substance would he wasted before his industry began. The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on commisiion; not to speculate in lands by purchase and re-sale ou its own account, but to afford the emigrant the benefit of its dealing for the land, either with Government or proprietors. Its extended connexion, information, and establishment will be placed at the service of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions. The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely thereto a commission, graduated proportionally to the number of acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses attending his transport to the spot. The lands which will pass through the hands of the Association from the original owner to the ultimate occupier will he for the most part in block ; their cost price per acre to the Association will be much below that for which an individual could procure a single loca tion in any of the States where Government land is not to be had ; the emigrant will in this respect alone have a direct advantage. When ha adds to this his saving on his outward expenses and journey to the spot, his loss of time, the disappointments often incurred o❑ the other side, he will find the actual outlay per acre of his acquisi tion much less by a direct purchase through the Association, whose arrangements will enable it to render him a service he would fail in attempting for himself. It is a case of the commonest occurrence with those who go out to the United States to waste all V eir means and small resources with out ever arriving at the object of their wishes. Too many are thus left for the tine destitute, and forced to become labourers, instead of proprietors of land. It is for the purpose of enabling the uninformed emigrant of small means to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso ciation is formed ; to advise him before departure of the advantages and disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the choice of a location, and to inform him on what point to direct his means and efforts. By this means he can ascertain to a trifle the cost of his own and IA family's removal. He will be told how he should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact is may acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of turning himself to ace unt by the instructions to be given him through the officers of the Association on the other side. In some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the Association will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour, by offering such inducements as will secure it. These will form the subject of special schem 's of settlement, which the Association will notify from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range accordingly. The owners of tracts of land in the United States will find it ad vantageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in tention of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and cultivators. As a guarantee of the good faith of the Association, it proposes to look to its chief profit, after payment of expenses in the manner stated, to reserved lots, which are not to exceed one-fourth of the en tire quantity in any one block. These reserved lots will be disposed of afterwards at their real market value, and without reference (as in the case of the first emigrants) to prime cost. The settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage thereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise to many considerations which cannot be easily enumerated, but, to insure success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The phy- I cal wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him to the spot. Provision will be made likewise for his spiritual com fort, by providing a clergyman, in conformity with the religious per suasion of each hundred families ; anti, as it not unfrequently hap pens that many families thpart from the same nethbourhood, in all cases where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the emigrants themselves. The plan of the Association, therefore, embraces the following points, viz.:- 1. The acquisiVon of tracts or portions of lands in the several States cf ,he Union and in Canada, for sale on commission. 2. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in such quantities as w ill suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the land, addng so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant on tho.examination of the lands and their titles, and a staff of in telligent officers to take charge of the emigrants and their interns`, up to placing them upon the land, un.'er the most favourable eir curns' antes. 3. Contrite' ing to place the emigrant and his family on the land for a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out, and in the interior, so ha he may k> ow beto: ehatid how far his money will go in secur'ng the object of his wishes. 4. The supply of labourers on such loca'ions as may require it, at so much per acre, to be aided to prime cost of the laud, it not otherwise pa'd f_r by special agreement with emigrants. 5. Holding an interest in reserves not to exceed one-fourth the original acqu'sition ; these reserves not to be disposed of by the Association for less titan double the original average prime cost per acre. 6. Provision for the moral and physical wants of the emigrant, so that his safety and comfort will be secured from the ordinary acci dents attendant on the unaided efforts of a single individual. The Directors are engaged in the settlement of a tract of land in Eastern Texas, containing* 153,400 acres, and are preparing a scale of prices for the locatioa of emigrants thereon. ]mUi)LEY BYRNE, Secretary. 2, Royal Exchange-buildings, London.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH I6.—At this day's market we had a fair attendance of the country trade, and a moderate business was done in wheat, at a decline of fully 2d per 701bs since Tuesday. Grinding barley was 3d per bushel lower ; and in Egyptian beans a depreciation of Is per quarter must be noted. Peas continue extremely difficult to quote. Barrel flour was offered at Is per barrel decline, without producing much busi ness; and sack flour met with no inquiry. A moderate demand was experienced for Indian corn, but a decline of 6d to la per quarter had to be submitted to. EXETER, MARCH 16. Cattle market—Our market this morning has been largely supplied both with beasts and sheep, with a more than usual attendance - of buyers, especially from Somerset. Business has, however, ruled dull, and the farmers complain of the unremunerative , prices. Fat beef has sold from 7s 6d to 8s 6d per score ; cows and calves, the supply of which far exceeded the demand, 81 to 131 each; barreners, 4s 6d to 5s per score, with a very low scale, graziers being cautious of buying store bullocks at any price. A few steers and plough oxen were on offer, but not much looked at. Butchers' calves, 4d to 6d per lb. The supply of sheep was large, and as the turnips are getting short, store sheep were more plentiful. Fat wethers are still sold at 5d to sid per lb, and ewes at about 5d ; store hogs, 30s to 35s each ; couples, 35s to 40s. The pig market was well supplied with store pigs, but the jobbers complained of the dullness of the times. Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to that of last week, and prices remain unaltered, namely, from 7s to 8s 3d per score, but this latter figure was only obtained in a few instances for very prime small porkers. Pan nier— Turkeys from 6s to 8s each - ducklings, 6s per couple; spring chickens 4s to 4s 6d ; fowls, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ditto ; galenas, 6s ditto; butter, is 2d per lb, eggs, 20 for Is. Vegetables— Asparagus, 4s to 6s per hundred ; seakale, 4d to 6d per lb; rhubarb, 6d per lb ; brocoli, 2d each ; young cab bage, 2d each. Corn Exchange—The attendance to-day has been very small, and but little business has been transacted, all parties acting with great caution. Fine samples of wheat has been sold from 53 9d to 6s 3d (warranted), and perhaps the latter figure has been slightly exceeded in one or two in stances. Foreign wheat, red, 465, white, 49s per quarter. Barley, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel ; oats, 2s 3d to 2s 8d (the latter for seed); fine flour, 34s to 36s per sack, the general figure being 355. NEWBURY, MARCH 15.—The quantity of wheat in offer to-day is very moderate, yet fully equal to the demand. Great difficulty being felt in selling on the terms of last week, we note a dull sale at late rates. Barley, moderate supply ; fine malting realises late rates; other sorts difficult to sell without an abatement of Is per quarter. Oats, large supply, and hay hq but little demand, prices must be noted 6d to Is per quarter lower. Beans and peas, short supply, and sell at fully late rates; in seeds more doing at full prices. LEEDS CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 14.— An average show of beasts, and 2,600 sheep. Beef, 5s 6d to 6s 3d per stone ; mutton, sd. Business was heavy, a great many beasts and a few sheep remaining unsold. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 16.—The sales re ported since our last do not exceed 250 hhds. West India, and a few hundred bags Bengals, at extreme rates. The offices are run nearly bare of samples, and there is but little remaining in first hands to bring forward. The refined market continues firm. In rum there has been rather more business doing, but at very low rates.—Bristol Mercury.

La Presse announces that the Fiench Government has not as yet received any dispatch confirming the reported commencement of hostilities between the Piedmontese and Austrian troops, or the passage of the Ticino by the Piedmontese troops. It admits, however, that the Sardinian Ambassador in Paris has prepared the French Government for the contingency of an approaching resumption of hostilities between King Charles Albert and Austria. It further an nounces that the principle of intervention demanded by Pope Pius IX. of France, Austria, Spain, and Naples has been admitted by common consent of the Four Powers. The judicial proceedings at Bourges were resumed on Thursday at the usual hour. The tribunes were much crowded, and a considerable number of ladies were present. Anxiety to see M. de Lamartine, who was to be examined, was the cause assigned for their presence. During the examination of the first witness a huissier announced to the Court that M. de Lamar tine had arrived, and awaited the President's orders. In a few minutes he appeared in court, and his presence seemed to create a sensation in the galleries. He deposei to what took place on the 15th. He declared his belief that the manifes tation in favour of Poland was only a pretext to in vade the Assembly. He was certain, from diplo matic correspondence he received, that foreign emis saries had been employed, and that foreign agents had come to Paris from Cracow for the purpose. He did not say that there was a complot, in the exact sense of the word, but there was no doubt that an attack had been meditated against the Assembly, which only failed in consequence of the clubs being jealous of each other, and in consequence of each wishing to be the leader. then examined, and Several other witnesses were . the court adjourned at six o'clock.

There has not hem any change of moment in this branch of trade during the present week. Sales have been rather quieter, but the recent advance is firmly maintained. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, MARCH 16.—A fair average business has been done in foreign wools this week, the demand being less speculative and more for immediate consumption than at the commencement of the year. LEEDS.—Since this day week the cloth markets have been dull at our cloth halls, although there has been more than an average quality of goods delivered direct from the manufacturers. Fine and middle cloths for the spring trade are in more request, but low qualities are dull in consequence of the advanced prices asked. Business has been pretty brisk in the warehouses this week. Many of the larger whole sale buyers have been in the town, and have bought more freely than for some time. The shipping houses also continue busy. BRADFORD, Mulct' 15.—Wool.—The demand for all kinds of combing wools is very small compared 'with some weeks past. With an abundant supply of all kinds in the market, and no di,position to sell on easier terms, the spinners are inclined to use up their stocks rather than buy at present prices. Yarns.— During the present and last week there has not been quite so much animation in this branch of the trade, but it will have no effect on prices so long as all are so actively engaged to absolute order. There are no stocks on hand of any kind ; an , l even among the commission houses, where, for some time past, there have been supplies of old spun, none can now be con tinuing T b l u ie sy p . ro a sp s ec t t h s favourable e are pr h i i c g e h s ly arenowf ar f rc below on an average of ten years, although decidedly dearer than for the two or three years just ended of the most profitless trade ever experienced by those engaged it. Pieces.—There is nothing different from the beginning of this month for any kind of goods. Orleans, Cobourgs, Lustres, plain and fancy, are all in steady request. In fancy goods mixed with silk there is not so much doing as last season, and the most active now are mixed plain ground Alpac is, of which the supply is not equal to the demand, and are command ing good prices. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—We have not had by any means an extensive trade this week. The rather unfavourable news from India has tended to check sales for that quarter, though a tolerable business is doing in goods for that market. The very unsettled state of the cotton market adds greatly to the diffi • culties in making extensive sales ; prices, however, are but very little, if any, affected ; still, in some cases, the buyer has had the advantage. It is pretty well known that very large orders are in town wait ing for some decisive change one way or other as to prices before agents can be induced to operate exten sively. Stocks in manufacturers' and spinners' hands are not large, except in some wealthy firma. Yarns are rather easier to buy, but the change is scarcely a quotable one, and but little shipping to the Con tinent. LEICESTER.—The hosiers now requiring the ad vance in their worsted goods, but little has been doing, buyers preferring to wait for the season's de mand until their present stocks are sold off. The straight down hands having obtained the advance they required, cotton hose made at old prices are cleared off, and the advance on the workmanship is firmly de manded by the manufacturer. In the yarn markets present prices are well maintained. Wools have re ceived a check, the prices demanded being such as spinners cannot give until their stock on hand is con- sinned. NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade has settled down into a state of comparative quietude, the workmen, however, apparently content with their late unexpected advantages in gaining an advance and a regulation, much to their credit, seem contented, and very wisely bear their good fortune with moderation. The cotton hosiery branches of almost all kinds are in a flourishing condition, the wrought cotton hose the least so. The silk bobbin trade, especially for black lace, seems to have suddenly revived. There is also a slight stir in the fancy cotton trade, many of the warehouses working long hours, the number, if we can judge by the lights in windows, increasing. The warp•lace trade had been almost despaired of; but we have been gratified this week by seeing the warp hands about the t won with full beams of cotton on their shoulders, an indication ,of improvement. — Leeds Mercury of this day.

The Ticino Gazette of the 12th inst. states that it was reported at Turin that the English Minister had presented to the King an ultimatum, in which he offered to annex to Piedmont the duchies of Parma, Piacenza, and Modena, to give Lombardy to the Duke of Leuchtenberg, and to declare Venice independent for the present. " Should Charles Albert," adds that journal, "refuse to accept these terins, England wou:ld withdraw from the mediation." General Chiodo, Minister of War, had addressed an order of the day to the army, cautioning the soldiers against the at tempts made to seduce them from their allegiance. The brigade of Savoy was to leave Turin on the 15th for Alexandria. The Hungarian Legion, all the cavalry depots, and two battalions of Savona had been ordered to that capital. We have accounts from Venice to the 3d instant, on which day the session of the Assembly was regularly opened, and M. Benvenuti Bartolomnie elected President. The Assembly, after the elec tion of the standing committees , received a messfige from the Tribunes, declaring themselves ready to resign the executive power into the hands of a new Government. After a c onversation on th e m i ss i on of M. T ommaseo t o the Republic of France, exr la natory of the reasons why that Power had. not afforded to the State of Venice the assistance ex pected, the Assembly discussed a project of :addres to the Governments of Rome and Tuscany, ta e com— mittee charged to draw up a similar one to the Go vernment of Piedmont having decided that such a measure would be inopportune.

The Lieutenant-Governor of . Portsmouth, Major-General the Right honourable Lord Frederick Fitzelarence, escorted the distinguished visitor to official residence, and entertained him most hospitably. After breakfast, the mayor and corporation, en behalf of the burgs sees of Portsmouth, waited upon the gallant here to present their respects and an address at the special n quest of the inhabitants, which the General most urbanely consente d to receive. Accord ingly the address was immediately presented, the muni cipal tuned, narks being attired in their robes of office. ' The address having been read by the Town Clerk — Sir Charles replied as fellows:—" Mr. Mayor and gentlemen --I receive this address with very great and I.incere pleasure; the more so as I have formerly known Portsmouth, once having had the pleasure of visiting • it with my father in 1835, and having it en deared to me by other associations since. I have, therefore, a knowledge of Portsmouth, and the , pleasure of that was greatly enhanced on my arrival here from India. I hope you will convey to your towns men the gratification I feel upon receiving their address from your hands. I am very much afraid that my countrymen have given me credit for much more ability than I possess. lam going to India, and I hope you will pray for my success. The gallant General shook hands with the Mayor, and then the corporation retired.
