The Retribution, 28, paddle frigate, Capt. Chas. Barker, is all ataught in Sheerness Barbour ; her compasses have been adjusted by J. C. Barlow, Esq., master of the Formidable. Report says she will leave here in a day or two, and the general opinion is her destination is the Mediterranean, but nothing appears definitely known. The Devastation, 6, paddle, 'Commander E. Marshall, is fitting for sea with all possible dispatch in the basin at Sheerness. She is to be ready by the 15th of this month, to effect which every possible assistance is being rendered her by the dockyard authorities. The Scylla, 21, screw, is being fitted for commission at Sheerness with all dispatch. The Emerald, 50, screw frigate, is also fitting at Sheer ness for c wnrnission in the basin with all dispatch. A circular has been received in Dublin from the Hcr ;e Guards, calling for, by desire of his Royal Highness the Commander-in Chief, a return as to the eligibility for employment rn the permanent establishment of a depot battalion of the noa-commissioned officers`who may have served on the staff. " From this it would appear," says a Dublin paper, " that the system of depot battalions has gained favour among the highest military authorities, which is probably owing to the report of Lieut.-General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.8., after his late inspection of the troops in the United Kingdom in his capacity of In spector-General of Infantry." In consequence of the crowded etate of the invalid esta blishment at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, resulting from the large number of troops who are sent to that depotfrom the various military stations, an order has been forwarded to Lieut.-Col. W. EL Anderson from the office of the Adjutant-General that no more invalids are to be sent to St. Mary's until after the 10th inst., by which time it is expected that there will be a great decrease in the num ber, consequent on the departures of convalescent troops daily from Chatham. The strength of the invalid depot on the let inst., the day on which the returns were made - up, was 1,762 men of all ranks, representing nearly every regiment in the service, but since that date several large detachments have arrived from the several depot battalions. Yesterday morning detachments belonging to the 10th Hussars, 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 55th Regt., and the Rifle Brigade, left St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, having received the routes to join their respective regi ments stationed at Birmingham, Dublin, the Isle of Wight, and Aldershot. The above troops were wounded in the Crimea, but were sufficiently recovered to be able to rejoin their corps. The 50th (Queen's Own) Regiment is under orders to march from Kilkenny, to, it is believed, Belfast. It is reported that, according to the new arrangements, no more infantry will be stationed in the former garrison. Notification has been received in Limerick from the Adjutant-General's office in Dublin to forward documents for the immediate discharge of one serjeant and 22 rank and file of the 9th ; three serjeants and 24 rank and file of the 17th ; and three serjoants and 22 rank and file of the 39th. It sets forth that it has been issued "in conse quence of a reduction of the army and the parties being wholly unfit for service." Immediately on its receipt they will be at once discharged. In a postscript it is also added, "That as these corps (9th, 17th, and 39th) have each a great number of supernumeraries, the latter should be encouraged to volunteer into the EGth Foot, which is very inefficient." The Hood, 80, building at Chatham, has been cut asunder, for, the purpose of being lengthened, in order to adapt her for a screw steamer, for which she is now intended. The Sharpshooter, 8, screw sloop, Commander Parish, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. The Dee steamer left Portsmouth yesterday with supernumeearies for the eastward. The Cruiser, screw steare-corvette, which sailed from Falmouth on the 29th ult. for the Cape and East Indies, was signaled with on the 3d irst., in tat. 48 30 N, and long. 0 18 W, by the barque ► Masaniello, which arrived at the above port on Monday. Only one gunboat wais observed ih company with the Cruizer, which ship was close hauled to the westward, under double-reefed top sails, with the wind strong at South. The Acadia, of Liverpool, Capt. Thomas Thomas, is still a t Sheerness. We are happy to report that no damage was sustained by her late accident in touching the ground alongside the dockyard wall. The accident was caused entirely through the strong S.W. gale isre 'ailing, The report of the directors of this company states than the net amount at the disposal of the shareholders for the half-year ending the 31st of July last, after deduct ing interest on loans, is 131,3921. currency, being equal to a dividend of 91 per cent. per annum on the share capital ; but from that sum must be deducted 14,052/ to provide for the repayment of the Government advance, leavirw the available balance 117,340/. Out of this sum the directors recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, which will absorb 109,2841., and leave 8,0551. for the next half-year. The severity of the winter had the effect of limiting the traffic in the early part of the year, and of seriously increasing the working expenses, e4pecially in the item of mainten ance of way. The extreme degree of frost, and very heavy falls of snow caused great displacement in the spring of the year, on the breaking up of the frost, both in the ballasting and rails, and to this cause is mainly attributed the excess in the charges for mainten • ance of way during the half-year. The closing of the Detroit river by ice for 62 days involved a large and un usual outlay for perterage and other expenses at Wind . The additional capital during the half-year amounted to 700,0001. currency, but the actual addi tional capital now entitled to interest or dividend amount: to nearly 850,0001. more than for the preceding half-year. Ilf that sum about 500,0001. (including rol ling stock) is on account of the Hamilton and Toronto line, which during the past half-year forms a charge upon the general revenue of the company. The Hamil ton and Toronto line has not earned at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year, its traffic having been at the rate of 231. 123. currency per mile per week, as against 541. 13s. per mile per week on the main line. The Galt branch earnings were at the rate of 131. 5 , . currency per mile per week. Bonds bearing in terest at the rate of 6 per cent. have been converted into shares during the half year to the amount of 170,875/. currency. The amount put to the credit of the GoVernment sinking fund exceeds by 1,2771. cur, rency the amount set aside during the preceding half. year, and the loss upon the working of the steamers has amounted to 6,5041. currency. These several circum stances have together resulted in reducing the net reve nue of the line below the amount required for the usual rate of dividend. The directors have come to the de termination of recommending the proprietors to place to the credit-of revenue account the amount realised during the last two half-years for premiums on the shares and bonds sold by the company, the whole of the shares being now disposed of. They state that in adopting this course the line has actually earned 52,1761. beyond the dividends paid np to the present time. The latter sum stands to the credit of the sinking fund for the Govern ment loan, which fund hag' been formed by half-yearly deductions from revenue. The working expenses are at a higher rate than during any former half-year. The maintenance of way and works has cost 41,185/. currency. This includes 2,195/. for the removal of rails worn out. The maintenance of a railway in Canada, where the ex tremes of heat and cold, of dry and wet weather is so great, where wages and materials aro all so much higher than in England, and where, from the lines being single, there is less time for repairs between the passing of trains, must always render the charge under this head very muc h greater than the shareholders of English railways are accustomed to. The locomotive expenditure amounts to 56,5761. currency, and, the number of miles run by the trains having been 758,462, the cost per mile is 13. 51 I. The charge during the previous half-year was at the rate of ls. 71d. per mile. Nearly the whole of the stock has during the past six months received exten• sive repairs, and is now in a satisfactory state to carry on ti attic during the winter. The directors exprese their conviction that the present depression in the net revenue is merely temporary, and arising from a emu. Je ee tion of circumstances pressing upon a traffic unfor tunately reduced by the unusual stagnation of busi• ness so much complained of throughout t i h ti eco t ntine ait n p ti: l America during the last summer. maintaining friendly relations . with neigh bouringstrict an d judi cious ecouomy expenditure,railw railways adopting a weeting again on future occasions.

He saw no difficulty in the amalgamati on , and with regard to his opinion of the necessity of the whole undertaking and its success, he would say that he had taken all the shares his means admitted of, and within the last fortnight he had doubled them. (Applause.) Mr. J. PETO felt pleasure in returning thanks for the hands ome manner in which the toast had been proposed and received, and would assure them on behslf of himself and colleagues that they would not be wanting in their efforts in the discharge of the duties connected with their interests. The CHAIRILIN would associate with the next toast - 4 Prosperity to the Town of Lowestoft" —the names of Mr. Thomas Lucas and Mr. G. GOWirlg. He should not, on that occasion, be doing justice to them if he did not say how greatly he valued their efforts iu advancing the object. All party consideration s , if there were such, had been laid aside. He also felt personally indebted to Mr. Sear, who, by all possible means, had forwarded the railway. The prosperity of Lowestoft was simply a question of com munication with it, and would be in the rates of the acilities afforded. He felt it to be due to Sir Edmund Lacon, as a matter of justice, to state that that gentleman had shown the same zeal in obtaining the Lowestoft bill, a s he had done for the bill for the town which ho (Sir Edmund) represented. Mr. T. LUCAS o bserved, that if he Was not sincerely in terested in the prosperity of Lowestoft, it would be very ungrateful, after the kindness he had received on every side. He has endeavoured to do that which he believed would conduce to its prosperity.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 8, 10 leer, The inauguration of the new Free Trade Hall took place this evening at half-past 6 o'clock. • A public meeting was held in the grand hall, and the ceremony is to be terminated by a ball, for which the assembly room, the drawing room, and the whole suite of reception rooms are to be thrown open. Admission to the meeting and to the ball was r estricted to the holders of tickets, which were issued by the committee to the shareholders and their friends. At the commencement of the meeting, which was pre sided over by Mr. George Wilson, the chairman a of th e e l a te Anti-Corn - La w League, there was but spar attendance in the body of the hall, and although subse quently the number of the audience was gradually much augmented many of the invited guests did not arrive until the proceedings were drawing to a close, and the time for the commencement of the ball approached. Among the gentlemen on the platform were Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. Brotherten, M.P., Mr. J. Cheatham, M.P., and Mr. T. Barnes, M.P. Mr. Bright, the colleague of Mr. Gibson in the representation of the city, was prevented from attending by the state of his health. Invitations had also been sent to Mr. Cob den, Mr. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Fox, and General Thomp son, but from various causes those gentlemen were unable to attend. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, briefly recounted the circumstances that had led to the erection of the building, which it was intended to render available for the purposes of public meetings, of concerts, and of other entertainments to persons of all sects and parties. Mr. M. GIBSON, in moving a vote of thanks to the proprietors (part of the guests), expressed his regret at the unavoidable absence of some of the most distin guished champions of free trade, and his hope that the Free-trade Hall, to the erection of which shareholdrie of various political opinions bad contributed, would be ap plied to purposes tending to remove party and sectarian: prejudices, and which might promote what the Bishop of en Manchester had termed adult education. The lead political parties had recently shown a disposition, of t o use a theatrical term, to "star it " in the provinces during the recess, as they had of late exhibited great reserve in expressing their views upon political questions, and he hoped that at no distant period they might have in that ball from the leaders of all political eteman expressed parties an exposition n of their opinions. The right hon. g his hope that, now that the war was over, and they had entered upon what he hoped wo u ld be an enduring peace, large reductions would be effected in the natio na l expenditure. It would be impossible to carry out that free trade policy which had already conferred so much benefit upon the community unless by a reduction cf the national expenditure they were enabled to dispense eith some of the taxes that now pressed upon the springs of industry. The Chanc e ll or o f the Exchequer had a wide field before him, and great things would be expected from him. After expressing his intention to re new hi s demand for a repe a l o f the duty on English paper, and deprecating unnecessary intervention in foreign affairs, which might afford a plea for keeping up the milit ary establishments' 'Mr. Gibson concluded by assuri ng hi s constituents that his opinions with role. ence to Parlia mentary reform, vote by ballot, and other political ques tions, were unchanged The resolution was . agreed to, and other resolutions entirely of a complimentary nature were subsequently proposed and adopted. 11% . ~• ..

The construction of the rock work and tos'Of have taken 2,000 cubic metres of stone from the fore, he Fontainebleau, and 4,000 cubic metres of concrete. t 1 principal masses, after having been taken from the for e ' o , have been carefully replaced, in their origi na l positie ri o , The upper basin, which serves as a rtervoir to the C o o cads, has a superfieies of 7,000 squ are me t res , and i c ;;Li hold about 10,000 cubic metres o f wa t er . It i s supP n i from the surplus water from the large lake by i neani,; ( l a small channel which crosses the Mare-aux-Biches , fe ll forms a very pretty waterfall.

The waters, when received into the loiC 4 basin, are conveyed by a serpentine rivulet across t o plain of Lon gc h a mp into three ponds formed below t o new Hippodrome. In order to completely terminate t o works, all that remains to be done are the plantation!' .d the mound from whence the water issues, and som e i r o' ; Wrier rock work below the cascade. Until the coter,, tion of the artesian well at Passy, and the other hyd ra ' lie works by which the Bois de Boulogne is to be g l Pi plied with water, the necessary quantity will be furnish ° by the engines at Chaillot. 'The railway from Paris to this city," says the Gazette de Lyon, will be united to that of thi s M e editer ranean on the 10th of October, and the train will then pass from ono line to the other without any change of carriage or transferment of goods.

THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD " CANARD. " —The origin of the word sen' canard, when employed to si g nif y so me un founded story, is not generally kn own. The fo llowing are the t erms in which M.
