MONEY AIA.RICET AND CITY .N.EWS. CITY, Two o'CweK. The inquiry for discount accommodation to-day, as usual at the close of the week, has been very moderate, and the rates have remained without the alightest variation. The banks and discount houses are still unable to find full employment for their resources, and the commercial public are therefore et in a position to negotiate their securities on very reasonable terms. About £65,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were in most instances a shade lower. The Ceylon, which; leaves to-morrow, the 20th :I', inst., for India, China, &c., will take out £72,041, st of which £1,090 is in gold, and the remainder in t ' silver. Since Monday last the imports of specie have stc i been about £561,200, and the exports £280,000. stc Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool s tc i Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were very firm. st( st( The sales amounted to 25,000 bales. stc The report of the directors of the Great Eastern s s t`, Railway of Clnada which has been issued prepa ratory to the !meting, states that the receipts st< on capital account for arrears of calls, &c., etc during the last half-year were £20,340, 8t( making the total returns on the 31st of July last £5,213,097, while the expenditure to the same date represented a total of £4,980,128, stl leaviLg a balance to the credit of capital of about £232,968. The severity of the last winter added st very heavily to the working expenses, although st a. the traffic has considerably increased. The revenue account shows a surplus of £18,373, which the directors recommend should be carried to the credit 1 of the current half year. In the English Stock Market, to-day, the trans- st ' actions have again been of a limited character, and et , led to no alteration of importance in values, Con- s ii t t l , cols, for money, being steady at 921 1, and at 92d Q t for account. Indian Securities attract most :t attention, and the New Stock has further improved. st The New Threes are firmer at 90-a- ; the Reduced 8 . 1 steady at 901 e ; Bank Stock is at 233 ; India 52 per Cent. Loan has advanced to 1041 2 ; ditto New 19 Scrip to 1044 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are firm st( at 4s. prem.; ditto, June, flat at 7s. prem. Business in the Foreign Market has continued st , moderately active, but prices, in some instances, et: show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are heavy s ti at 8111 ditto, 1858, 692; but the £lOO Bonds st have improved to 711 ; and Sardinian, to 811 a ; Mexican remains at 26 ; Chilian 414-- per Cents. at : t t 84,1 85 ; and Portuguese are steady at 477. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very dull, and but few changes of im portance can be recorded. Lancashire and York- . t shire have advanced 10s.; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, ss. ; and North British, ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were 1 7 , moderately active at about previous rates. Great Luxembourg brought 9 to 91 ; Bahia and San 8 ' Francisco, 13. East India have declined to 1011 ; and Great Indian Peninsula have improved to 99 and 991. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain inactive ; Union of London, however, have improved to 271 ; Berlin Water Works realise 41 a ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 69.

DEEEPOOT, THH INDIAN, AND BECRWITH, THE CHAM. I S t PION SWINIMER.—The match between Beckwith, the champion, and Deerfoot, the Indian, for £25 a-side, to swim twenty lengths of the W es t m i ns t er B a th , th e I n di a n re ceiving a quarter of a minute start, and which was to have taken place on Wednesday next, has terminated in a for feit. The Indian. has been tried in one of our baths, and it has been found that he could not turn in them ; conse quently he would have no chance with such an accom plished and powerful opponent. His backer therefore has forfeited the £lO down, and, although at present will not make any fresh match, as Deerfoot requires rest, yet on some future occasion ho will be prepared to match the Indian to swim the English Ll.Gnipion in " open water" any distance, and for any sum he may 111 a to name. THE THREE R's.—At a case in a county court at Norfolk, the plaintiff's wife gave the following acc ount of her plan of bookkeeping :—She was no sch olar, but marked her h _ down on a door the amount for goods serve d, and husband entered them in a book when he came home from work at • ling, a sm a 11 0 unoeingefho She made a large round 0 for a shil and a short :for sixpence, a long mark for a penny, chalks off rubbed all the and she was sure she had them, so that they did off when her husband had entered get twice entered, LATEST FROM THE ARCTIC RCTIC REGIONS.--Lovers of arctic navigation will glad K be aneo to hear that Dr. Hayes, who attended the late Dr. n f his last voyage in search of Sir John Franklin, and whoUnitedaterwards proceeded to the North in the little schooner Upernavik, in Greenland, in safety. States, has returned to Arctic Hayes Regions(wh os e account of his strange adventures tpher. has been so much admired) sailed fr n o 9th of August, 1860, northwards, arrivedandtep:pernavik on the of September at Winter Harbour, about eight on the 27th of Cape Alexander, where the party erd miles north about 78 deg. There, during the winter, ae4eint latitude of animal life was found, no less than 300 reindeer having been brought on board, and many more were killed buatvin slimed on shore. In addition to these, about 60 blue foxes eon and 20 hares were slain. Of the animals many were very fat. fat. The astronomer Sontag died while absent on an ea ex cursion in December alone with the Greenlander Hans, the same who, it will be remembered, accompanied the steward Morton in his expedition to the supposed " Open Polar Sea" of Kane, and who, smitten with the charms of a Cape York beauty, afterward , abandoned the expedition, and re mained among the natives at Cape York. Dr. Hayes him self undertook an excursion with sledges, on the 4th of April, 1361, from which he returned on the 28th of May, having reached, as it is asserted, the high latitude of 821 deg. No " Open Polar Sea" was found, but only the streams of open water not unusually met with on the coasts of Greenland, On the 15th of July the schooner was got (Alt of Winter Harbour, and reached lipernavik on the 31st of August, whence Dr. Hayes hoped to sail for New York on or about the 6th of September. The doctor is said to express his desire again to be able to proceed to the North with screw steamers. SBARE AfARKE T-(171IS DAY.) OUDIINAILY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

APPLICATION UNDER TLE NEW ACT. An application was made under the 93d section of the new act, and 4th rule, for an extension of the time for filing a statement of affairs, which requires a bankrupt petitioning against himself to file such statement within three days after presenting such petition. His Honour asked the grounds for the application ? The bankrupt's solicitor said that the bankrupt was a member of Lloyd's, and the creditors were so numerous that it had been impossible to complete the statement within the time directed by the act, but the court had power to extend His Honour granted protection for three days further. IN RE TUNE. This bankrupt is described as a wine merchant, St. Dun stan's-hill. This was a meeting under the old Act for choice of assignees. This preliminary statement by Mr. Butler, King-street, Cheapside, shows debtor to creditors about £2,600; assets, about £5OO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. William Thomas was placed at the bar !on remand, charged with obtainiug money from Indian officers by false pretences. It will be recollected the prisoner called a few days ago upon a gentleman named Leggett, at the Exeter-hall Hotel, and asked for some pecuniary aid towards este- Wishing a private school in India, calculated to be of great service to persons resident in India. Being upon the Indian Committee for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, Mr. Leggett informed him he could not assist him in carrying out his object, but from a conversation he had with him he was induced to believe him an impostor, and he accordingly gave him into custody, as his (Mr. Leggett's) brother, an Indian officer, had been duped by a person making precisely the same representations to him, as the prisoner had done. Mr. Corrie, in order to discover whether the prisoner had been practising upon other gentlemen, remanded the pri soner until to-day when a number of gentlemen were in attend once. Col. Talbot Shakespere said—l remember seeing the pri soner at my residence some time ago. He knocked at the door and immediately my servant opened it he walked in and requested to see me. When I went to him he spoke in Hiadostmee, and told me he had been directed to call upon me by some brother officers. He spoke very fluently or. Indian civilization and education, and mentioned the t_ station at Lucknow where I had been for two years. He also mentioned the schools founded in India by Sir Henry Lawrence, and said he proposed to found private establishments on the same principle. He then introduced a long list of names, amongst which I recognised those of several officers with whom I was acquainted. I was completely taken in. I gave him three guineas, and he accordingly entered my name on his list of subscribers. _ . Mr. Corrie—l hardly think that will make out a case of false pretence. Col. Shakspere—He most certainly swindled me out of three guineas in the same manner that he had done other officers. Mr. Corrie—He represented the money was to get an outfit. Col. Shakespere—So far as I am concerned, he swindled Mr. Braddon said--I saw the prisoner at my residence at Cambridge-terrace, in March last. The servant came up to me and told me that a gentleman wished to see me. I went down stairs, when the pri soner accosted me in Hindostanee. I invited him into my dressing-room, and after he had been there he very accu rately described my father, who is at present in India. I cannot tell, without he has been in India, how he obtained his information. He told me he wished to found schools in India, and I accordingly gave him a sovereign, which he took, and then asked me to make it a guinea for form sake, which I did. Dr. Ogilvie, of Blackheath-park, said I saw the prisoner at my residence a few weeks ago, when he represented him self as a friend of my commanding • officer. I invited him in, and he then began to sympathise with me regarding the state of my wife's health. I don't know how he pos sessed himself of that information, but after he had been in conversation for some time I asked him the object of his visit, when he said he was about to pro ceed to India, and that ho wished to raise subscriptions be fore he left England to establish schools on the hills, as it was a very serious thing for parents in India to send their children to England for education. I told him the object was good, but I could not assist him. He then left the house. Mr. St. John Brown said the prisoner called upon me at Brompton-square, and told me exactly the same tale as he had related to the other gentlemen. He also said he was going to found schools at Tasmania. I gave him a guinea I and he left the house. A lady friend of mine told me just as he left the house that some time ago ke had obtained money on the same representations. I Im.t I nau vet,. swinatea, out the fcllow had gone off, and there was no help for it. Inspector Witham said he had received letters from Aldorshott, Edinburgh, and Brighton, all stating that the writers had been visited by a person of the description of the prisoner asking for subscriptions for schools in India. Mr. Corrie—As far as the present case goes, I don't see that a case of false pretence is made out. No doubt, had he got a good round sum of money, he would have left the country. It shows, however, how easily gentlemen in London part with their money when a plausible person obtains an interview with them. Horsford, of the Mendicity Society, said the prisoner had been discharged three times on evidence similar to that which had been heard to-day. However, he thought he had a case against him for forgery, as he had sent up a petition to a gentleman residing in Marylebone, on which was a signature of a gentleman which could be proved to be a forgery. Mr. Corrie—That is certainly a clear case if it can be found out, and you had better take the prisoner to Maryle bone Police-court. The prisoner was then handed over to the custody of the Mendicity Society officers. IRELAND, DUBLIN, FRIDAY. Mr. William Sharman Crawford died yesterday at his residence, Crawfordeburn, near Bangor, county Down. He was long known to the British public as member of Parliament for Dundalk and Rochdale, and he has been popularly known in Ireland as "the father of the tenant-right question." He was an in dulgent landlord, content with moderate rents, en couraging improvements, and rejoicing in the pro sperity of his tenantry, not one of whom he ever ejected. He allowed them to sell their " tenant-right" freely, and on his estate it reached the highest figure, equalling the fee-simple of the land. The great ob ject of his political life was to give that customary right in Ulster the effect of law, so that it would not be disturbed by the landlord, and also to extend it to the other parts of Ireland. The tenant-farmers throughout the country regarded him as their cham pion, and he spent most of his time for years in ex pounding their grievances in long letters and heavy speeches. He attended the meetings of the " Irish Tenant League," not only in Ulster, but in some of the southern counties, where he was regarded with respect and gratitude by the Roman Catholic priests and people For many years be had chat ge of the tenant-right question in Parliament, for the settle ment of which he brought in several bills; and the platform and newspaper cry of the tenant-right party in Ireland then was,—" Sharman Crawford's Bill—the whole bill, and nothing but the bill." His measure, however, never found favour with the Legislature, and all attempts to get tenant-right embodied in an Act of Parliament proved abortive. Mr. Crawford opposed the Repeal agitation when first started by Mr. O'Connell, and he once ap peared in Conciliation-hall to " beard the lion in his den." The great agitator did not appear to ad vantage on that occasion. He was rude and abusive to his distinguished opponent, and attempted to overwhelm him wim with ridicule, remarking upon dress, and reciting a song with the burden— " Sharman my jewel, Sharman my man." But Mr. Crawford was equally unmoved by the invectives of the assailant and the hisses of the excited mob. Though opposed to the repeal of the Union, he had a plan of his own for a " Federal Parliament " in Dublin, by which purely Irish questions might be entertained and determined. But at that time the multitude would hear no dissentient voice in the Liberal ranks. 0' Connell ruled with despotic sway, and Mr. Crawford, driven from the representation of Dundalk, could enter Parliament only as member for an English borough. Since the tenant-right agitation died out he has taken no part in public affairs. He was a magistrate and a Deputy-Lieu tenant of the county Down, wnere he was regarded by the people with a feeling bordering on venera tion. The journals which represent the Roman Catholic interest pay glowing tributes to the memory of the deceased. The Freeman ranks him among illustrious Irishmen, and says :-- "As a landlord, he illustrated in practice the principles he professed. In the House of Commons, while representing Dundalk and Rochdale, he was universally respected for his integrity, fairness, and sound sense. Sharman Crawford was almost the last of the race of great men ; and if honour, honesty, and a loyal devotion to the rights of the Irish people be a claim to their gratitude, few deserved it better than William Sharman Craw ford." The .Morning News thus notices the mournful event:— " Sharman Crawford is dead! True, honest, benevolent old man—in him the Irish tenant has lost a great, a faithful, and an earnest friend. Many a time have our columns been draped with mourning hues, but never for an occasion more sor rowful than this. Over all our land, in every home where the news shall speed, few there will be who will not realise the loss of such a man to the cause which won his earliest advocacy, and which to his latest moment he never deserted. No man devoted his time more zealously, no man devoted his labours more generously, to the poor persecuted and unfor tunate tenants of Ireland. Whatever differences may have arisen between those with whom he worked i❑ the endeavour to ameliorate their con dition, none can refuse to concede to him a a charac ter for integrity and devotion perfectly unimpeach able . No name in the ranks of public men in Ireland has been so long before the country, and on non. has there rested less stain of selfishness. A great portion of this century has found him occupy ing a prominent position in the regard of our people, and that regard he has continued to maintain to the close of a long career of usefulness. With the great labour to which he gave his best years unfulfilled, with a long life of effort expended without the success of its dearest aim, we cannot but regard the death of William Sharman Crawford as a great public calamity." MARLBOROUGH-STREE T. ROBBERY AT AN AUCTION ROOMS.—Thomas John Jackson, an elderly man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a time-piece, of the value of £2, from Mr. Richards's auction rooms, 43, Rathbone-place. From the evidence of Sergeant Shanley, G division, it appeared that on the previous evening ho saw the prisoner coming out of the auction rooms, and knowing that the sale had only just commenced, he stopped him and asliekl what he had got under the covering. He (Shanley) then lifted up the covering and saw that it was a time-piece, and on taking him back he found that he had taken it from the auction room. On searching the prisoner he found on him 58 duplicates relating to time-pieces, coats, umbrellas, &c. Prisoner said he bought the articles at sales, and that the time-piece was his bona fide property. Mr. rtichards, auctioneer, of 43, Rathbone-place, said the time-piece was taken from his office, and had never been sold to any one. Prisoner said he had no questions to ask. Sergeant Shanley said he should like a remand, as other time-pieces had been missed from the same place. The prisoner was them remanded. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS, The usual weekly meeting of the board was held yester day at the office in Spring-gardens; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which gave the followiig cash balances in the hands of the treasurer : Current accounts, £109,253 38. id.; deposit accounts, -1.95,500 ; total, £2O-1,253 3s. ld. ; Government securities, New Three per Cont. Annuities, £27,412 7s. 7d. ; cheques ordered but not presented, 13,832 3s. 7d. TIIE NEW STREET FROM LONDON-ERIDGE TO 13LACE.- FRIARS RoAD. A numerous deputation attended from the St. Saviour's District Board of Works, to present a memorial on the sub ject of the surface paving of the new street in Southwark. Mr. Newman, who was the spokesman of the deputation, urged that the new street should be paved with granite, in stead of being macadamised; for although the cost in the first instance would be somewhat greater, yet it would be the most durable and the cheapest in the end, especially as for the first seven years the cost of repairing the street would fall almost exclusively upon the parish. They strongly impressed upon the board the necessity of com pleting the street without further delay, especially as a loss had been sustained by the parish in two years of no less a sum than £3,000 in rates, in consequence of houses having been pulled down, and little or no progress made towards the erection of others. Mr. HARRIS moved that the memorial be referred to the Main Drainage Committee, which was put and agreed to. THE NEW GAS ACT. Mr. FREEMAN moved, pursuant to notice, "That a com mittee of the whole board on the Sale of Gas Acts be em powered to make all the arrangements which may be ne cessary for carrying the several provisions of those acts into effect, reporting their proceedings from time to time to this board." Mr. SAVAGE seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. NEW NUMRERTNG OF STREETS. A report was presented from the Building Act and Gene ral Purposes Committee recommending that the several houses and premises in the following streets should be re numbered, the odd numbers on one side and the even num bers on the other :—Fann-street, Aldersgate-stveot ; Cla rendon-rood, Notting- hill ; Shrubland-grove, talston ; Queen's-road, Dalston ; Caledonian-road, rentonville ; Hemin gford -road, Islington ; Devonshire-street, Islington; High-street, Wandsworth ; and Adelaide-road, Hampstead road. Some routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

A DEERIRINT.—SAD ACCIDENT.—KILLARNEY, Monday.—This morning, while a party of men living at Minish, about four miles from the town, were engaged in saving bay, a deer was spotted to run convenient to them towards Coneen. He did not, however, go without a chase. The deer made towards the river Flesk that was close by, which he succeeded in almost clearing. While in the act of doing so one of the men, named Denis Keely, elospa m... t., t h e river's edge, and att em p te d to stick him with the pike with which he had been saving the hay. While doing so, he unfortunately fell into the river, which was fearfully swollen after the late rains, and has not been since seen..

The New Zealand _Examiner says of the Otago gold fields : Brighter p aspects would appear to be in store for Nev Zealand in general and Otago in particu iar. We refer to the discovery cf gold fields in that province. The accounts just received have been confirmed by subsequent researches. Other gullies have been prospected, and are believed to be richer than that in which the operations have been hitherto principally carried en. The total quan tity received in Dunedin up to the 3d of August appears to be about 5,000 ounces, and double that quantity was believed to be in the hands of the diggers, who declined to part with their hard earned gold at the rate offered, 70s. per ounce, which they conceive to be far below its real value. The result of the assay at Sydney, which the next steamer was expected to bring, wag anxiously looked for. The most sanguine expectations were entertained as to the prospects of the province, it being expected that very shortly the receipt of gold would equal the whole quantity received from the Nelson gold fields during the years 1859 and 1860, which amounted to some 12,000 ounces. The exciting intelligence of the gold discovery, as was to have been anticipated, had been the means of bringing many- adventurers from the neighbouring provinces, and great numbers were expected to arrive. Of course some have returned disappointed. Altogether from 1,600 to 1,800 per sons had visited the diggings. The weather having been very cold and wet, and the state of the roads bad, added to the probable high price of provisions for some time, has had the effect, it was believed, of preventing many from visiting the golden spot until the weather became more congenial. Advices from Melbourne state that three steamers were loading for Otago, and would take a large number of passengers. The Nelson correspondent of the same paper writes : Every vessel arriving from the South brings us news of large quantities of the precious metal being found at the new field in Otago, and the result is already visible. The " gold fever," in a malignant form, has broken out, and l a b our , w hi c h h as b een too plentiful for some little time past,bids fair now to be as scarce. Every vessel that is available, from the cutter of 10 tons up to full-rigged ships of 500, is laid on for Otago, and every one a full com plement of passengers. The wages of seamen on the coast have risen to 16 and £lO per month, and the hands from other vessels are deserting fast. Shovels, picks, galvanized iron buckets, tents, and blankets are at a premium ; at every store may be seen intending diggers providing themselves with re quisites, and carrying them on board vessels at the Wharoa. Two days ago there was an exodus on a large scale. The Storm Bird, a steamer of 100 tons, was to start, and about 90 had taken their passage in her. At the time of starting she looked like an excurgionboat. Just at the last there was a visitor on board in the shape of a sheriff's officer, I and a few of the would-be diggers, who had neglected to "square up" before leaving, were brought ignominiously ashore. The steamer started and made about 20 miles beyond the Head, when she was met by a south-east gale, and yesterday morning we found her snugly anchored in harbour again, the impatient gold-seekers being put ashore to wait for a change of wind. Should the reports from the diggings continue favourable there is no doubt that as the weather improves a much larger number of men will leave, as there is just at present very little offering here. Next I come to the chro mate of iron, in which several parties are now specu lating. It exists in enormous quantities on the hills around our city, and, thanks to the perseverance of the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company, which nothing daunted by their want of success in gathering riches from copper lodes, .like unto those at Lake Superior, yet persevered in constructing the railways. This company will yet realise extrava gantly large dividends from these simple circum stances—that slate exists in large quantity upon their land, and will be eagerly purchased, not only here, but in all surrounding settlements, and thus do away with with a great nuisance, wooden shingles for roofing of houses. Again, their land is heavily timbered; now firewood tetches here about 255. per cartload (and a small cartload it is), and as this company can so readily convey it from the forest into town by their railway, they could easily sell it at say 175., and make about 7s. per load clear profit ; then again, they can give us that much needed article, stone, while they have also a species of marble on their land ; there are also posts and rails for fencing, and lastly, after having conveyed their chrome into town, their slate, wood, &c., like wise,' they will most certainly become large carriers of produce from the town to the port for shipment. The coal discovered at the River Grey, on the west coast of this province, having been sent to the School of Mines in England for analysis, we have received a report of Mr. Percy's tests, wl;ich showed that the coal, out of lOU parts, contains 79 of carbon, 5 of hydrogen, 7 of oxygen, and 9 of nitrogen, sulphur, ash, and hygroscopic water :—" In com position, this coal is nearly identical with coal occurring in some of the coal measures of this coun try. The coal from New Zealand is a caking coal ; that is, when powdered and heated in a close vessel, it affords a coherent coke, the original bulk of the coal being considerably increased during the opera tion. The gas which was disengaged appeared to possess a highly illuminating power, as far as could be ascertained from the small quantity of coal experi mented upon, the residual coke amounting to 64.32 per cent. The quantity of coke, however, obtained on so small a scale must not be taken as an exact indication of the yield by the ordinary process." IBIS DAY'S SIiI_PPING.

A strange occurrence took place ou Monday last in the Church of Notre Dame. An officer, wearing a foreign military uniform, was praying , a pp arently with great devo tion, in the nave of the church. He remained there until six o'clock, when the beadle, struck with the strange ex pression of his countenance, told him that it was time to close the church, and requested him to leave. The officer looked at him stedfastly for some time, and then exclaimed, "Kill me, for I have entertained the idea of assassinating my King." The beadle thought it expedient to call in some police officers, who interrogated the foreigner, and ascertainWhened p t o h l a i e t e he wereis a y r c o a p p o t r a i i n n g in t t o r h e e to o P y r o u s h s t i m an h i e 'nla w Y as . attacked with a fit, and it became necessary to transport him to the Hotel Dieu, wher e h e still remains.

NEW REGULATIONS FOR VOLUNTEER OFFICERS. —Earl Fitzwilliam, the Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding, has issued some excellent regulations, an adherence to which will be an effectual security that the volunteers of the West Riding will be commanded by gentlemen worthy to hold the Queen's commission as officers in so important and honourable a service. This form requires the age, ad dress, profession, state of health, and height of every per son asking for a commission in the West Riding IT.a..Aeer force ; it is also necessary to give ft— .Lame and addresses of two gentlemen.o near testimony in respect of the g entlemanlike and moral conduct of the applicant; and further, it is required that the candidate must certify that he has undergone a course of musketry instruction. at Hythe or elsewhere, on the Governmen t plan; if not, that that he will undertake to do so, and to attach himself to a regiment to learn hie duties as an officer.—Deftea aqUINI • IllE NAVY • The Grand Duke Constantine yesterday paid a visit to the Warrior, lying at Spithead. His Im perial\ Highness was conveyed to and from the frigate in the Fire Queen steam yacht, which had been placed at his disposal for that purpose by the Admiral commanding at the port. Yesterday Rear -Admiral Popoff, commanding the squadro n recently fitted out at Cronstadt for service in the Pacific and Amour, accompanied by Mr. George Baker, jun., Russian Vice-Consul. at Portsmouth, paid an official uisit to Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce and Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Grey, the Port Admiral and Admiral.. Superintendent, at their official residences in Portsmouth dockyard, and afterwards paid a like ceremonial visit to .Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the garrison at the Government-house. Admiral Popoff arrived on Wednesday at the Mothcrbank with his flag on board the Novik Imperial Russian corvette, one of the vessels of the squadron, which consists of the Bogatyr and Benda. The Admiral returns to Kiel, where he will join the two last named vessels. Hoisting flag on the Bogatyr he will jointheNovik at the Motherbank, whence they will finally sail fur their destination. The Swallow, 9, screw steam sloop, is fitting in the steam basin at Sheerness for surveying service off the coast of Japan. The Dutch transport Constance, recently in jured in a collision with another vessel off the Longships, has been taken into No. 3 dock at Sheer ness, where she is making good her defects. Owing, however, to the injuries she has sustained some time will elapse before she is completed. The Cambria has commenced shipping at Wool wich a battery of 24-pounder guns and equipment for the Artillery Volunteers at Anglesea. The War Department steamer Lord Panmure, Mr. T. Moore, master commanding, left Wool wich yesterday for Purfleet, to fill in her ma gazines with powder and ammunition ; she will sail thence on Tuesday for Devonport. Her cargo consists of about 600 tons of military stores, con sisting of cases of small arms from the Tower, 6- pounder brass guns, shell, shot, &c. The Agrip pina is also loading at Woolwich with war materials for Malta. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. B. L. Lefroy, to the Fisgard ; Lieut. W. Meriat and Lieut. W. N. Tuf nell, to the Britannia; Lieut. Hamilton Dunlop, to the Sanspareil ; Lieut. Count E.G. F. G. Visconti, to the Conqueror ; Lieut. D. D. Yonge, to the Forte ; G. C.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding ,n-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards at one o'clock on Thursday nest, the 24th inst. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marine Light nfantry is proceeding more briskly than is the case with recruiting for any other branch of the service, and each of the divisions of Royal Marines is now nearly up to its full strength. Yesterday a party of fine young men arrived at headquarters, Chat ham, having been forwarded from the Hull dis trict. The principal portion have been sent up from the recruiting districts in Yorkshire and the North, where in consequence of the stagnation occurring in the cotton and sub sidiary trades there appears to be no difficulty experienced in obtaining recruits for the various branches of the service requiring men. The Royal Marine recruits on being finally approved at head- quarters are forwarded to Deal and attached to the depot battalion at that station. Yesterday a Board of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital assembled at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, under the presidency of Inspector-Gen. W. M. Muir, M.D., C. 8., principal medical officer of the district, when 106 non-commissioned officers and men of the various cavalry and infantry regi ments, chiefly from the Mediterranean and home statione, all of whom had been previously inspected and found unfit for further service, were ordered to be discharged from the army on Thursday next. The claims were investigated by the Commissioners, and pensions awarded to each non commissioned officer and private according to his length of service. The detachment of Royal Marines and Marine Artillery which arrived at Chatham, from China, in the Chesapeake, 51, under the command of Major W. R. G. Masters and Lieut. B. D. Kenni cott, was inspected at bead-quarters on Thursday by Col. Gascoigne, C.B. In addition to their sea pay for the period they have been absent from England each of the privates will receive £l4 China prize money, and the non-commissioneetofficers £2B each. As soon as the men of the detachment have received their pay they will be granted six weeks' leave of absence. His Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Weimar, Lord Bingham, Lord GGorge Lennox, M.P., and M. Acott, accompanied by Major-Gen. Sir Joshua Webb, arrived at Portland on Wednesday, and in spected the breakwater, fortifications, casemated barracks, batteries, and prison works now in course of erection. The visitors were occupied several hours in going over the extensive works in progress, as well as those completed, and did not leave the (.1 until late in the afternoon,when they returned to Weymouth. Two batteries of 6.pounder smooth bore guns were yesterday withdrawn from the depot of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, and were ordered to be prepared for embarkation in the Black Eagle transport vessel, now at Deptford, for the use of the Artillery Volunteers in Prince Edward's Island. Three batteries of 12-pounder Armstrong guns and equipments were ordered to be got in readiness for despatch by an early conveyance for Quebec. , w casafe The newly organised military pol i c e force at 'Woolwich, which at present compr ises onl y 14 men, se lected from the various regim ents stationed there, and who parade the tow n and garrison night t and day, has been found to act mostthe i o n f desertions am ark e d m a a n n d n e other r.
