THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was a considerable arrival of all descriptions of Grain last week, and this morning there is a fair addition of Wheat and Barley samples fresh up, but not many Oats. The supply of Flour is moderate. The Wheat trade is excessively dull, and even the best hardly maintained last quotations; other qualities are 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper than last Monday. Barley is plentiful, and 2s. per quarter cheaper than this day se'nnight for most descriptions. Old Beans hardly maintain last quotations, and new arc lower. Oats meet a very slack demand, but ate not declined in value since last Monday. The Flour trade still re mains in a very unsettled state. PRICRS ON BOA RD OF SHIP. Nheat, Red (old) ...., 623. 745.

ANTI-REFORM MEETING IN LIVER rooL.—We understand that a number of individuals in this town are attempting to get up a hole-and-elrner pe tition in favour of rotten boroughs, and nomination, and trade monopolies, and heavy taxes. There is also, it seems, to be an Anti-Reform meeting, and rumour adds that it will be convened by the Mayor !

Their MAJESTIES left town about half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, in. a travelling chariot and four, escorted by a party of Lancers, for their Palace at Winds Or. Previous to their departure their MAJESTIES received visits from the Duke of SUSSEX and the Princess Sopin A , and the KING gave audience to Lord firm, and Lord HOLLAND. The Princess AirausTA left town on Saturday for her residence at Frop,more. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER have left town for their residence at Bagshot. Summonses were issued to the ,Ministers of Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia, by Viscount PALMERSTON, on Saturday morning, to attend a conference at the Foreign.. office, in the afternoon. The Ministers were assembled by half-p Ist three o'clock : there were present, Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambas sador, Prince ESTERIIA ZY, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince TA LLEYR AND, the French Amba sailor, Baron BLILOW, the Prussian Minister, the Baron DE WESSEX. BURG, on a special mission from Austria, Count MA - TousHEvaz, nn a special mission from Russia, and Vis count PALMERSTON• The conference did not break up til: half-past six o'clock. The Marquis DE PALMELLA had an interview with Vis.. count PALMERSTON on Saturday. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was but thinly attended, several of the Cabinet Ministers being out of town. There were present the Earl of CARLISLE, Viscount PALMERSTON, Viscount GODERICH, Viscount ALTHORP, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord Ilor.r.vso, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Mr. STANLEY. . The Ministers remained in deliberation near three hours. The Baron DE WESSENBD RC, the Austrian Minister, on a special mission, accompanied by the Prussian Minister, visited Viscount PALMERSTON on Saturday, and had a long interview with his Lordship. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Viscount MELBOURNE left town on Saturday, on a visit to Earl CowrFa, at his seat at Panehanger, Herts. WINDSOR, SEPT. 25. Their MAJESTIeS arrived at the Castle a little after five o'clock yesterday aft,rnoon, in a carriage aml four, escorted by a party of Light Horse, from town. The bells of both the parish and Castle church rang a merry peal soon after. Prince GEORGE of Cambridge and his tutor, and the suite of their MAJESTIES, had previously arrived in several car riages. This morning the troops from the Horse and Foot Barracks were inspected by his MAJESTY in the quadrangle of the Casth , , both bands being in attendance. Some of the privates of the Life Guards appeared with the new caps instead of helmets. The KING during the in spection was accompanied by the Earl of MUNSTER, who walked down the lines with the KING, as did also Prince GEORGE Of Cambridge. Their MAJESTIES, Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, and a large party from the Castle, attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel, which was touch crowded. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. MARSIIA3I, Canon in residence. The service, BOYCE'S in C. ; the anthem, " Acquaint thyself with Gon," (GREENE), was performed by Mr. JARMAN. ALTERATIONS IN THE LORDS. The preparations for extra accommodation for the Peers commenced on Saturday, after the adjournment of the House of Lords; and, almost before the Lord Chancellor had got out, quick as is his Lordship in his proceedings, the House was half filled with workmen, who very speedily male the House in a terrible litter. They commenced with the Ministerial side of the House, and began to remove— not the Ministers from their seats—but the seats for the Ministers. All are cleared away, except the benches near the wall; and the raising of the gallery on the Ministerial side of the House is to be first effected. They are the same galleries that were erected for the " Queen's trial," in 1820, the materials having been kept in store. The workmen continued their labours till the midnight of Saturday, and, to give them as much time as possible, the Lord Chancellor has been prevailed upon to ab stain from hearing appeals during this day and to-mor, row ! On Wednesday he will, at all events, resume the hearing of appeals, several cases being appointed, and judgments fixed, for ten o'clock on the morning of that day. When the galleries are raised there still would not be sufficient convenient accommodation for the Peers (the total being now four hundred and nineteen!) if they were all to attend. The alterations that are to take place below the bar are not yet determined upon; but a favourable result may be confidently anticipated, as the proper officers and others were on Saturday anxiously in specting and measuring the spaces. The erection of the gallery on the Ministerial aide of the House will be com pleted by half-past three o'clock to• day, at which time their Lordships will meet. Immediately after the adjourn ment the workmen will to their posts again, and continue at them during the whole night, in order to complete all the improvements as speedily as possible. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES (CONCLUDED). DONCASTER, FRID.‘I* Nitarr.—Our races terminated this afternoon, and it will not be exceeding the truth when we assert that it has never been surpassed in the excellence of the sport. The weather this morning was unthvourable, and the company present miserably thin. Several important sales have been effected in the course of the week, independent of the Saddler (whose purchasers are sup posed to have netted nearly double the amount of the sum give n , by his races on Thursday and this afternoon.) The Marquis of Sligo has sold Fang to Mr. F. Richardson, winner of the Two-yr old Stakes yesterday, for three-thousand three hundred pounds, and half his engagements ! ! a price perfectly unprecedented, and exceeding (if we consider the stipulation to receive half his winning) snore a thousand pounds, the largest sum ever yet paid for a two-year-old. Earl Wilton has purchased Chancellor of Mr. Bowen, for 80,11, and has also bought Bras de Fer of Lord Sligo ; these two are for his Lordship's races next week at Heaton Park. Mr. Riddell has sold Emancipation to Mr. Gully, for 1,5001. In the course of the morning Mr. Skipsey refused twelve hundred guineas for Castrellina, the Saddler's dam, for whom lie gave a ten pound note three or four years ago! THE ST. LEiSER.—A very important alteration was decided on yesterday in the conditions of this race—in future it is to be like the Derby and Oaks 50 sovereigns each, h. ft. ; the entry to remain as before. This change will snake the Stakes more re spectable, prevent many objectionable bets as ti the number that will start, and will improve the betting. The Cup will be added to a Sweepstakes of lb sovs. each, to name in the York Spring Meeting. LATEST BETTING ON THE DERBY AND,ST. LEGER.

Mr. Wagstaffs b c The Saddler Mr. Beardsworth's b c C .lwick 2 Loot Scarborough's Brother to Tarrare Lord Fitzwillianrs b c Creole Mr. Houldsworth's b Frederica 5 The odds began at 4 to 1 on The Saddler, but were taken with such avidity, that the betters began to suspect that it was not quite so certain as they had at first imagined, they got more timid, and left off at sto 2 only. Nothing else was named. Brother to Tarrare made first riming at a middling pace, but was passed at the Two.year Old Post by Colwick at about 'three quarter speed, The Saddler lying in the centre, two distances from home. Creole and Frederica gave up, and Tarrare, in an. other hundred yards, gave unequivocal symptoms of defeat. Col wick was now nearly two lengths a-head. The Saddler, how ever, came up, and at the Stand was alongside him, the race be ing anything but sate ; the struggle between them was one of great interest, The Saddler in vain attempting to shake oft' his antagonist, who was not beaten till the last stride, which gave the stakes to the three-thousand-guinea nag by halt a neck only; steel and whipcord were in requisitioa with both. The result proves Colwick to be better than his Leger running would imply; if he should ever get into good condition (which he has not been since Epsom,) he will be a dangerous horse in the country. If the pace had been stronger, The Saddler would have won with less difficulty. It should be borne in mind, too, that he had been on the muzzle two successive nights, and ran a two-mile and a half race for the Cup at a pace that for the distance must have beets very trying for a three-year old. Three-yr-old Filly Stakes of 20 sovs. each, with.2s sovs. added. St. Leger Course.

REFORM MEETINGS. PARISH OF LA2IIRETH. In consequence of a requisition to the Churchwardens, signed by one hundred and sixty-four resp-ctable inhabi tants of this large parish, a full meeting took place to-day to petition the House of Lords in f.wour of the Reform Bid, in the Vestry-room, Church-street. Mr. Church warden Ronsort in the chair. Mr. Mont, in rising to move the first resolution, said he was very happy to see such a numerous body of his fellow parishioners assembled on the present o:..casion, and he considered it a sufficient answer to the allegations made by the enemies of the Bill, that the people were getting in different about the measure. Another reason of theirs was, that .the system had worked well, and why should you alter it for one which has never been tried, and which must he destructive to the best institutions in the country. In his opinion this required no answer ; true, the system had worked well, but for whom, certainly not fur the people. It had worked welt for these boroughmonger s wlio could command five or six votes in the House of Commons, or for that class who could say to the Minister, "We are seven." do doubt it had worked well for thema and of course it must have been had for the country. He considered that the giving of the franchise to tenants-at-will in farms, was a Vot in the Bill ; but he hoped that nov farmers would insist on having leases. The division of counties was, in his opinion, a beneficial measure, as it would destroy a large proprietor's interest in the other half. The gentleman expressed his hope that the Lords would pass the Bill, as it was necessary for the safety of the country. He concluded by moving the first resolution, which was to the following effect :—" That this meeting arc of opinion that the Bill for reforming the representation of the people in Parliament, which has just passed through the House of Commons, is a measure, the great principle of which, if carried into effect, is calculated to promote the true interests of the country, by giving to the great boey of the people a House of Commons fitirly and freely chosen by themselves, and therefore affording the best hopes of an amelioration of their present condition, and the best security against future misgovernment and extravagance." Mr. SLADE seconded the resolution, and stated that he had been a Reformer for upwards of fifty years, having commenced his political career with that great, upright, and revered man Major Cartwright. Mr. STANFIELD proposed the second resolution—to the effect, " that the enemks of Reform, in asserting as they had, that the people were becoming careless and indifferent to the success of the Bill," were guilty of the grossest and most scandalous misrepresentation. The people were most anxious for its success, considering it of the most vital importance, and the only guarantee that could be furnished for saving the country from anarchy and confusion, and believing it, as they did, to be altogether impossible that the country could be any longer governed under the exist ing system of corruption, undue influence, and political profligacy. Mr. FAREY seconded the resolution, and advocated vote by ballot. (LEFT SPEAKING.) BRISTOL. In consequence of a requisition, signed by above one hundred of the principal inhabitants, the Mayor of Bristol called a meeting at the Guildhall on S iturday last. S. P. TAUNTON, Esq. a barrister, was called to the chair. ROBERT BBIGUT, Esq. rose to propose the first reso lution, and said the time was now parsed when it was necessary to make long speeches to convince them of the necessity of Reform. It was not- necessary solemnly to re cord their denial, and to give the lie to the audacious false hood uttered by the Anti-Reformers, that the people of England were growing indifferent about Reform. He for one felt not the slightest apprehensions that the Barons of England would forsake the cause of liberty, for it was to their efforts that our present freedom was mainly owing. He was confident the Ariste.cracy would not fail the people. The scion of nobility and t:te son of the tradesman drew their notions of liberty from the same s , ,urce, and so in timately were the various grades of society blended to gether, that it was difficult to draw the line of division, and therefore they might infer that they also were the friends of liherty.—(Hear, hear.) As the people's affec tion for their country was strong, so was their determina tion to look to their rights.—( Cheers.) Though England had reached a height of prosperity unknown before, yet the brightest page of her history was to come. G. H. AMES, Esq. then seconded the resolution, which was carried with only two dissentient voices. [For the resolutions see Advertisement.] RICHARD Asu, Esq., in proposing the second resolu tion said the Reform Bill was one on which the people had set their hearts. While they respected the privileges of the House of Lords, they (the people) had also the right to send their own representatives to the Lower House, but at present it was filled with the nominees of a faction.— (Cheers.) He believed that the House of Lords would not oppose themselves to the wishes of the King and the people, but that they would pass that great modern charter of our country into a law.—(Cheers.) Mr. MANCHEE, in seconding the resolution, said that he could not but congratulate the meeting on the flat con tradiction it now gave to the assertion of Sir Charles Wetherell, their worthy Recorder and senior Alderman, —(Laughter)—that the citizens of Bristol were growing cool on the. Reform question. He, the senior Alderman of Bristol—(Laughter)—said, that he had used his influ ence with the citizens to prevent a Reform meeting, but what would the worthy Knight say to this numerous meeting, which showed his influence was small indeed. A question had been pertinently asked—What would the Lords du? He would answer it in an Irish way, by ask ing another question —What will the people do if the H ouse shoul d b e so unwise (for he emild call it by no milder term) as to throw out the Bill ?—(Cheers.) There were only two courses to be adopted—either the King must incre ase the number of Peers, or thepresent Ministry must resign. Who would then take office ? Would the Duke of Newcastle ? and must they have his buffoon, their Senior Alderman, for the Lord Chancellor ?—(lmmense laught er .) Sir Charles Wetherell had made a great out cry about Corporation robbery ; but surely it could not be robbery to take from them what they had no right to possess. It was a satisfaction to reflect on the complete downfall of tlse Tory party, and be for one should con sider i t a great evil to the country if ever that fiction came again into power, for then the sun of British liberty would have set for ever.—(Cheers.) J OHN HARE, jun. , Esq , proposed the third resolution, which was seconde d b y expressC whom he owed muc h, and who m he should ever respect (Sir A. Elton, the spea ker's father ) held strong opinions op posed to his.—(Chee rs.) It hod been said o f th e grea t Chatham that he fore saw the French revolution , but his presci e nce ex tended beyond that—it reached to the present moment, for he was r e p orted to have said, th a t " u n l es s Es opinions on the prese nt occas i on b ecause one to , Esq. , who said that he s h ou ld not f u ll y A. his the House of Commons reformed itself from within, it would be reformed with a vengeance front it." That mo ment; has now arrived.—(Continued cheering.) Tile crisis was now at hand, and no party, whatever may he its opi nions, has ever dared to give to the Earl of Chatham the name of traitor.--(Tremendous cheering.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. HARMAN VISGER, Jun., the American Consul, proposed the fourth resolution and the petition. JOSEPH REYNOLDS, (a member of the Society of Friends), seconded the resolution. Ile thought the Bill, u nder all circumstances, the best we could have had ; and he hoped that the House of Lords would not lose the cha racter they earned at the Revolution of 1655. Mr. llmearaTH • sat. , he was deputed by the Council of the Bri.tol Political Union, to whom the resolutions had been submitted, to give their support to them, and to sign the petition on the behalf of the Union. The resolution then passed unanimously. Mr. I . lEnaPAzu then rose to propose the fifth resolu tion, which thanked the two City Membeis for theirsteady support of the Bill, which h • been seconded having was car. ried unanimously. 'The owetitig having been addressed by Messrs. Adding tKroiniinetgLp,,eu,tni ta e in i o l ( : ll i teas t : n : ienn a e n l d acihd A ee l o a risi n e t fhi(iieeer the King G ainn o d d th s le a l v ec e foour t mr l: the table, and of an hour had several hundred signatures to it. The hall Was very much crowded, and the people took a li ve ly interest in the proceedings. MIDDLESEX. --Th e Sheriffs of Middlesex have ap pointcd a meetin g of the freeholders of this county, to be held at the ALL tnaid tavern, Hackney, to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, to petition the House of Lords, praying their Lord ships to pass the R e f orm Bill withall reasonable despatch. The chair will be taken at twelve o'clock precisely, and it i, expected that a very large number of persons will as ,euible on the occasion. On Saturday a meeting of the inhabitants of Broad .,treet Ward took place at the New York Coffee-house , Alderman C?wan in the Chair, when resolutions and a petition praying the House of Lords to pass the Bill with- ‘b. 7 ' out delay, were agreed to. Mr. Geo. Grote (tie banker), Mr. French, Mr. Keppell, Mr. Jupp, Mr. Jones (of Princes-street), and other gentlemen, addressed the meting. BRIGHTON.—A requisition, most numerous'y and respectably sii:ned, has been presented to the High Constable, requesting him to conveue a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town, for :he purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of expressing their senti ments to the House of Lords, on the subject of the Reform Bill. The High Constable has named Monday next. CANTERBURY.—A general meeting of the freemen and inhabitants of Canterbury was held on Friday in the Guildhall of that city, in compliance with a requisition to the Mayor from a numerous and highly-re.pectable portion of the ettizenS, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to give their legislative sanction to the important Rill which has just passed the House of Commons. At twelve o'cl,,ck the Hall was crowded to an unusual degree, and the business opened by the Mayor (H. Cooper, Esq.) in an able and appropriate manner. An energetic petition to the House of Lords was proposed, and unanimously adopted, and is already most numerously signed. CHELTENHAM.—A public meeting, convened by the Magistrates, at, which T. Gray, Esq•, was called to the chair, was held on Thursday, to petition the Lords to pass the Reform Bill. The meeting, which was numerously and respectably attended, was addressed in a spirited and animated manner by Captain Gray, Dr. Fosbroke, Mr. Winterbothatn, Mr. S. Evans, R✓v. J. Thomas, and Mr. W. H. Cox. The resolutions and a peition were unani mously agreed to.— Gloucester Journal. CHESTEIL—A public meeting was held in this city on Thursday, to address their Majesties on the occasion of their Coronatian, and to petition the Lords in favour of the Reform Bill. The Mayor, Titus Cha!run, Esq., in th e chair. Mr. Alderman Francis moved the first resolu tion, expressive of the loyal and dutiful congratulations of the meeting to their Majez . .ies. It was passed amidst loud applause. Dr. Thackeray moved the resolution, which declared the opinion of the meeting unchanged with re spect to the great measure of Reform, and prayed their Lordships that it might be passed with all convenient despatch. The Rev. T. Aspland, on moving the next re solution, which requested the Marquis of Westminster to present the petition to the House of Lords, dwelt particu larly on the maananimous conduct of those Peers who had declared themselves ready to sacrifice their borough patron age to the good of their country. Mr. Hostage proposed a resolution expressive of the strongest confidence of the present Ministers. All the resolutions, as well as the pe tition, were adopted unanimously, and a spirit of enthusiasm was manifested throughout, such as no one remembered to have witnessed at any former meeting. CORNWALL—A requisition to the High Sheriff to call a county meeting to petition the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill, has been signed and will be pre sented to him. The meeting is expected to be held the latter end of this week. The most intense anxiety pre vails throughout tie counfy on this important question. The parishes comprising the district called Roseland, in the county, met on Saturday and agreed to a petition, which was immediately forwarded to Lendon. DEVON.—The requisition to the High Sheriff, Sir Bourchier P. Wrey, Bart., was sent to that gen tleman by the Under-Sheriff, 11 Ford, Esq., on Friday last, signed by upwards of 300 names, comprising nearly the whole of the leading men of the county. Sir Bout chier immediately issued orders for calling a county meeting on Friday next, the 30th inst. EXETER.--On Friday last a most numerous and re spectable meeting was held at the Guildhall of this city, to petition the House of Lords for the passing of the Reform Bill. The Mayor, Paul Meason, Esq., in the chair. Mr. T. W. Buller, a county Magistrate, opened the business by a spirited address to the meeting, in which he appealed to the conduct of the whole kingdom at the period of the dissolution of Parliament, as a proof of the unanimity that prevailed. Out of eighty-two county Members, seventy six had been returned for Reform.—(Loud cheers.) He indignantly repelled the calumny that the people has changed their opinion, and concluded by proposing a peti• tion, approving of the Reform Bill, and praying the of Lords to pass it with all convenient despatch. Tio. petition was received with three cheers. Mr. J. Tyrrell (the barrister) seconded the petition in a powerful speech, in which lie answered the objections of the Anti-Reformers to the Bill. They talked of anomalies in the new measure, but it was no anomaly in their judgments that Tiverton, for instance, with its 10,000 inhabitants, was represented by two Members, sent down to the Corporation by Lord Harrowby._(Loud cheering.) After a vote of thanks to the Mayor, and a high eulogium on his conduct, the meet , ing separated, but not before they had given three cheers for the Mayor, three times three for the King, and the like number for the majority of 109. GLOUCESTER.—Sir Thomas Crawley Boevey, Bart High Sheriff for this county, having refused to convene a meeting of the inhabitants and freeholders, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords that the present Reform Bill may pass into a law, the undersigned Magistrates of the county of Gloucester, in compliance with the requisition presented to the high Sheriff, have appointed a meeting to be held for the purpose in the Shire-ball, on Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock,—viz., J.

In compliance with a requisition from the freemen and householders of the city of Gloucester, David Mowbray Walker, Esq., the Mayor, has convened a meeting for the same purpose, to be held in the Shire-hall at twelve o'clock, on Tuesday next. GLASGOW.—Extract of a letter dated Thursday, " Glasgow meets to-morrow to petition the Peers—the Lord Provost in the chair. All ranks are looking forward with the most intense anxiety for the result of the Bill in the House of Lords—l may add with rather a dark, lurking suspicion, and a fearful determination." GRAVESEND.—At a meeting held pursuant to public notice, o❑ Thursd my last, at the Town-hall (Samuel Man, Esq., Mayor, in the chair), a petition to the House of Lords, praying them to pass the Reform Bill, W4B unani mously agreed to, and has been very numerously signed by the inhabitants. LEEDS.—A requisition was presented, signed by upwards of 200 persons, to the Mayor of this town, on Thursday, to call a meeting of the inhabitants to petition the House of Peers to pass the Bill ; but after some hours' consideration his Worship, in the exercise of his discretion, declined acceding to the request, on the ground " that having rejected a similar application i❑ the Spring, he could not consistently comply with that now made in the Autumn." Notwithstanding this refusal, the people have determined on calling a meeting, and have appointed this day, at twelve o'clock, for that purpose. ROMSEV.--A meeting of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood was held at the Town-hall on Wednes day last, James Aldridge, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, when several resolutions were passed, and a petition was unani mously agreed t•,, to be presented to the House of Lords the Marquis of Lansdowne, praying their Lordships' concurrence in the Reform Bill.

TEWKESBURY. —A very large and respectable meeting was held here on Saturday last, at which a petition to the House of Lords in favour et the Reform Bill was agreed to, and resolutions expressive of the unabated desire of the inhabitants and electors of that ancient borough, for the success of the Bill were unanimously adopted. A well merited eulogium was passed on the public conduct of their representative Mr. Martin, whose long and faithful services has justly endeared him to his constituents. It we are to judge of the inhabitants of Tewkesbury by the proceedings of this meeting, Mr. Dowdeswell, the Anti-Refarni Member, has but little chance of being returned at another election. WAKEFIELD. —The Constable, on the requisition of eighteen inhabi ants, has called a meeting to be held in that town on Monday next, " to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords in favour of the Ministerial Reform Bill, and to pray that their Lordships will, as speedily as they may deem it expedient, pass the same into a law."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, Saral. 24.—His Maesty's ship Imogene, 28, Capt. P. Blackwood, is expected to sail the latter end of the week for the East India statio. , , calling on her way out at the Cape of Good Hope. His Majesty's ship Cura coa, 24, Capt. D. Dunn, it is believed, will proceed to the same station in about three weeks. His Majesty's ship Alligator, 28, Lieut. Morgan, of the Britannia, acting in command, (Capt. C. P. Yorke being on leave of absence), was paid off on Thursday and re-com missioned on the following day by Lieut. Thornlike, late of the Alligator. Capt. G. R. Lainbert is spoken of as likely to command her. His Majesty's ship Stag, 46, Captain Sir E. T. Troll bridge, Bart., remains at Spithcad ready for sea, and is ex pected short!) , to proceed to Cork with Sir Thoaias, as Commodore on the Irish station. The Cygnet, transport, Lieut.

After passing through the fleet in harbour, she returned in the Emerald to Cowes. At Spithead—Stag. In Harbour—Spartiate, Melville, Royal George, Curacor, Alligator, Imogene, /Etna, and Columbia. PROMOTIONS AND ATFOINTMENTS.-Commander P. M‘Qatiae is appointed tq his Majesty's sloop Fly; Louts. D. C. Cumby and Charles Serjeantson are alto appointed to her, as well as Mr. E. M. Denby, Purser.—Capt. Win. Young of the Chatham Division of Royal Marines has been placed on the retired full-pay.—First Lieute nant and Quarter-master John Mamie, of the Royal Ma rine Artillery, is promoted to the rack of Captain, and appointed to the Chatham Division, vice Young,— First Lieutenant W. Henn• Devon, of the Royal Marine Artillery is appointed Quarter-master of that corps, vice Maul.—• First Lieutenant J. B. Castieau of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines is ap pointed to the Royal Marine Artillery vice Devon. —First Lieutenant William Gordon. of the Wool wich Division of Royal Marines is appointed to the Portsmouth Division, vice Castieau.—Second Lieutos , nant Benjamin Yarnold of the Chatham Division of Royal Marines ix promoted to.the rank of First Lieutenant and ap pointed to the Woolwich Division, vire Gordon.—Mr. G. W. Doyel is appointed a Second Lieutenant at the Chatham Division of Royal Marines, vice Yarnold.— Second Lieutenant John Mitchell is appointed to his Ma jesty's ship Curacoa, vice Morris.—First Lieutenant C. R. Miller is appointed to his Majesty's slip Alligator, vice Reed.—Mr. John ,'Master is appointed Assis tant-Surgeon of his Majesty's gun brig Plumper, vice Knox. Mr. R. Skill was found duly qualified this week, on ex amination at the College, to serve as a schoolmaster in his Majesty's Navy, and has since been appointed to his Ma jesty's ship Imogene. His Majesty's ship Alligator having been paid off on Thursday last and re-commissioned, her detachment of Marines, under the command of First Lientenant T. B. Reed, of the Woolwich division, disembarked yesterday and joined head-quarters, having been relieved by a similar detachment from this division, under the command of First Lieutenant Miller. Commander G. Smith (a) superintending the practice of naval gunnery on hoard his Majesty's ship Excellent, in this harbour, has proposed to the Board of Admiralty a plan 'or improving the locks of great guns, which we hear has been favourably reported on by the Ordnance Department, and is likely to be carried into effect. We understand that, with a view to equalize the sea duty at the different divisions of Royal Marines, and which has always, from a variety of causes, fallen very heavily on this division, four subalterns have been ordere.l from Ply mouth and Chatham, to proceed forthwith, to this garrison for embarkation in the first ships which may be commis sioned at this port. His Majesty's ship Nautilus, 10, Corn. Right Hurt. Lord George Paulet, left the Cove of Cork on Tuesday, the I3th inst., and arrived at Plymouth at one, A.M. on the Friday morning following, having passed through the experimental squadron, under the command of Vice-Ad miral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.B. about three hours previously, hove-to, under three top-sails, a few miles to the westward of the Rim's Head. The Nautilus left at Cove his Majesty's ship Donegal, 78, Captain J. Dick ; Orestes, IS, Com. W. N. Glascock, and Savage, 10, Corn. Right Hon. Lord E. Russell. the former having put in on the afternoon before the Nautilus sailed. The lower or. dera of the Irish to the Northward of Black Sod are repre sented to be in a state of great misery and destitution, in creased, if not caused, by their own indolence. The Nautilus was towed into Plymouth harbour by the Mes senger steamer. His Mijesty's ship Tweed, 20, Commander A. Bertram, returned to Plymouth on Tuesday from a cruise, and is said to be much improved in her a riling qualities shale the addition of her false keel. She is reported to have main tain d the second place among the ships in the squadron throughout the trial, the Barham gaining upon her in a light wind. The Tweed went into Plymouth harbour on Wednesday to have a defect in her rudder repaired. The lightness of the winds, since the ►quadron left this port, has prevented any correct opinion being formed of the effects likely to be produced by the reduction of the Caledonia's ballast, hut it seems to be a pretty common opinion among the officers of the fleet, that the exchange from heavy to light 32-pounders has not improved t►:e ge neral qualities. His Majesty's steam-vessel Messenger, 2, Lieutenant B. Aplin, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday, front the Mediter ranean, after a passage of only nineteen days from Corfu, and six from Gibraltar, being the quickest pas-age ever thrown. Having landed her mails she proceeded to Ply mouth on the following day, and went into Hatnoaze on Monday night. She brings accounts of the destruction of the Greek fleet by fire. It appears, that in consequence of some dispute between Capo d'lstria and Admiral Mraulis, the latter had taken possession of the whole of the Greek fleet, consisting of three sail of the line, four frigates, hod several transports, with troops on board, and conveyed it to Porn& Capo d'lstria is repre , ented as having procured the assistance of some Russian men-of-war, which went in pursuit to recover the Greek fleet, and on their entering Poros the ports opened a brisk fire, but Miaulia findine the Russians were likely to succeed in dispossessing them of their captured ships, set fire to, and cooip:etrly uea•roytd, the whole of them, with the exception of two steatn vessels which were only partly burnt. Miaulis is said to have retreated in his boats to another eland, where he was followed and blockaded. The crews of the Greek ships effected their escape in boats. The Sultan was said to have entertained the project of again reducing Greece to obedience, relying on the general confusion of European affairs, and a prospect of a war lietwaen the great conti nental Powers, fur impunity for such conduct. The Mes senger brings intelligence that his Majesty's ship Ferret, 10, Commander E. Wodehouse, still stationed on the N. W. side of the new volcanic island, to make known its situation to vessels not yet aware of its existence. The island, up to the 20th, remained in a quiescrnt state, die charging nothing but steam. The Messenger brings home passengers, Lieut. Frazer, of the 11th Regiment of foot, and family, and a gentleman from the Gulph of Persia. She sailed from Corfu on the 25th of August, from Malta on the 29th, from Gibraltar on the sth of September, and from Cadiz on the 6th. _ _ _ The Duke of Marlborough packet arrived at Falmouth, from Lisbon, on Monday, in fifteen days, leaving in the Tagus his Majesty's ship 11riton, 46, Captain J. D. Mark -1 Ind, C. 8., and Despatch, 18, Commodore E. A. Frank land. The French ships Melpomene and L'E4le were also there, as well as the Sandwich packet, and the Belem Cistle, merchantman. Lisbon continued in a state of great ext:itement. The Portuguese Government were busily engaged in fitting out all the men-of-war the French left them, and Admiral Rosen had been sent for, from Oporto, to command them. All the forts on the Tagus were also being put into the most efficient state of e de e f d enc a - e n , fruits which it was thought the Governinies: 1 t ß e r x it w ish Con attack.
