Erskine will this day haul down his flag from the mizen of the Edgar, 89, screw, at Portsmouth, as second in command of the Channel fleet, now that its summer cruizing is over. The ships belonging to the Channel fleet at Ports mouth will, for a certain period, be placed under the command of the Admiral commanding at the port, Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce, in this follow ing the course adopted in a preceding year. The Britannia, naval cadet training ship at Ports mouth, has discharged her complement of Royal Marines to the shore, and received a fresh and less numerous detachment from the head-quarters of the Portsmouth division. Under the regulations of the ship as hitherto carried out the Marines were allowed to act as servants to the cadets on board. This has, however, now been altered ; the Marine merely performs his military duty on board, while 40 men (civilians) have been specially engaged from the shore to act as the cadets' servants. In the employment of the same individual both as "servant"and "sentry" it was felt that a certain laxity of discipline might at times exist which would not be at all desirable, and hence the present change. The novice system, too, has been at length banished from the Britannia, and this measure can only tend to the cadet's future comfort and health. Other measures are in contem plation of an equally important and comprehensive character. The one great want of the Britannia is a frigate to be attached to her under a commander, as a sea-going training ship. At present the young men are cooped up in too great a number to remain on board a stationary-44p. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has conferred. the good-service pensions placed at his disposal on Col. T. Pattie, C. 8., Ist Dra goon Guards ; Col. "W.,N.

Orders were received by telegra - m' on Saturday afternoon for 400 men belonging to I,he Plymouth division of Royal Marina to prepare :for immediate service in Mexico. Thi j , will probtaly go out in the Himalaya, and will form a portion' of the batta lion destined for this duty which will, be under the command of Lieut.-Col. John Geol!,ge Augustus Ayles, of the Plymouth division,, the Senior Lieut.-Col. (July 5, 1856), and next in rotation for the rank of Colonel and Second C ommandant. At Plymouth it is now reported thwt, during the present week the screw steamship Conqueror, 99, Captain Edward S. Sotherby, will leave that port for Vera Cruz ; and Itle Aboukir, 86, Capt. Charles F.

The first annual North Lonsdale Volunteer rifle contest took place on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Ulverstone. The prizes amounted to nearly £2OO, and attracted all the best shots of the district. Among the prizes, a challenge cup value 30 guineas, open to North Lonsdale, was shot for at 300 and 500 yards, three shots each range, and won by the Bar row Company with 24 points. The contest termi nated with, shooting for a cup, open only to unsuc cessful competitors for the previous prizes, which was won by Sergeant Brockbank, 37th Company (Hawkshead).

In all contracts foi bnildinn• Ships, it is usual to have the payments made accordint , as the work proceed , , and to retain the security of the vessel until final payment is made; and it is on this account that a Capital of .ClOO,OOO, with proper management, will be amp l e to carry on a business toalmost any extent, and as a m i nimum profit of 10 per cent. is calcu lated unon all e , timates for work undertaken,the Subscribers may confidently anticipate Dividends of at least 20 per cent. per annum on the Capital invested. Iron is superseding Wood in the construction of ships, and with our unlimited resources of that material, the cheapness and abundance of coal, and the natural skill of English artificers in Iron, it may be correctly assumed that England, before the expiration of many years, will a - quire almost the entire ship building business of the world ; and in the re construction of our Navy there is little doubt it will be found desirable to entrust the building of iron vossels to private Yards possessinfr, facilities for working in that material which do not exist in the Dockyards.

The Phaeton, 51, 400-horse power, has been com missioned at Sheerness by Capt. Edward Tatham (1854). On Saturday she proceeded to the coal-ship to take on board her stock of coals previously to proceeding to sea. The Phaeton, which has only recently been converted from a sailing ship, is now one of the finest 51-gui steam frigates iu the navy. She is to have a complement of 540 officers and men, and is expected to proceed from the Nore shortly to Spithead, where, it is reported, she will hoist the flag of Rear-Admiral Jones for service in the Gulf of Mexico. The paddlewheel steamer Firebrand, 6,410. horse power, Com. J. M. Bruce, arrived at the Nore on Saturday from Woolwich dockyard, where she has undergone a thorough cleansing and fumigation, in order to eradicate every trace of the yellow fever, which made such sad havoc among her crew while in the West Indies. She has been entirely refitted, and remains in Sheerness harbour to await orders. The Leander, 51, screw steam frigate, reeently converted from a sailing frigate, has been taken out of the steam basin at Sheerness, and placed in the harbour, in readiness to go on her trial trip. The Megazra, 6, iron screw steamship, Commander Samuel H. Henderson, will leave Portsmouth to-day, on her voyage to Malta and Corfu with supernume raries. On her route she will call at Plymouth. The Mohawk, 4, screw, Commander Howard, and Assurance, 4, screw, Commander Aynesley, were paid off at Devonport on Saturday. The Nautilus, apprentice brig, Lieut. Commander Wright, at Plymouth, is to be stripped and the crew turned over to the Squirrel. The Rattlesnake, 21, screw corvette, was hauled into No. 4 dock at Chatham, on Saturday afternoon, to be coppered and for completing her internal fitments. The Tortoise lighter, Webber, master, left Devonport on Friday, with stores for Portsmouth and Deptford. The Lee, 5,80. horsepower, screw despatch vessel has returned into Sheerness harbour after making her trial trip, the result of which was anything but satisfactory. The engines worked pretty regularly, but the greatest speed attained with the tide, and under the most favourable circumstances, did not average more than 71 knots per hour, or only about half the rate of speed originally anticipated from this class of despatch vessel. The Icarus, 11, screw steamer, Commander N. Salmon, which arrived at Sheerness from the coast of Scotland, to refit, has proceeded to Portsmouth, in obedience to Admiralty orders, to accompany the Warrior, 40, to the Bay of Biscay, on her sea trial trip. A letter from China, dated Shanghai, Sept. 3, says :—" The Ringdove came in on the Ist from Japan, and brings intelligence of the Imperieuse having been ashore on a rock, 140 miles from Jeddo, while on her way hence to Nagasaki. She had been three days ashore whe,n the Ringdove saw her and assisted in getting her off. Her guns and shot had to be thrown overboard, but were recovered. The extent of damage cannot be ascertained yet, but she was making a foot of water per hour when the Ringdove left her. The Odin has the honour of bearing the commander-in-chief's flag in conse quence. Lieut. Pollard, of the Coromandel, is ap pointed commander of the Simoom, vice Commander Cook, deceased, and Lieut. Bingham, of the Flamer, commander of the Renard, vice Commander Good enough, who goes home on private affairs. Lieut. Menzies, of the Scout, goes home by this mail invalided. Despatches arrived last night from Pekin, announcing the death of the Emperor. The fact has been officially notified to the British and other consuls. The Sphinx left here on Tuesday last for Hong Kong. The Atlanta came in yester day from the north. The Ringdove left here with Admiral Hope's despatches and letters for the ships in Japan this morning. She expects to meet the admiral at Rakodadi.

A commander has been appointed to her Majesty's ship Phaeton, and we understand that in future an officer of this rank will be appointed to all frigates of this class. This step on the part of the Admiralty will lessen the strain which for a long time past has been brought to bear upon the lieutenants' list, and will find work for many commanders, who, for th e want of active employment, might otherwise and Navy Gazette. b eco me rusty.—Arl J Loss OF A WHALEBOAT AND FIVE LIVES.— Intelligence has been received at Queenstown of the loss of a whaleboat, the:property of Messrs.Cummins and Brothers, with five men on board, outside the lighthouse on Friday. It is feared they have all perished,—Cork ,Examiner. The non-commissioned officers and troops of the sth Dragoon Guards at present stationed in Nor wich Barracks have just celebrated the anniversary of the celebrated action at Balakiava in 1854. Water has been reached in connection with the artesian well at the cavalry barracks at Colchester at a depth of 31 feet. The drainage works are advancing satisfactorily. We regret to learn that an accident of a serious character happened to Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., on Friday evening. As Major-Gene ral commanding the South-Western District he had on the day named visited Winchester to inspect the troops stationed there, and returned to Portsmouth in the evening. On arriving at the Portsmouth terminus of the Soutji-Western Rail way he entered his carriage, which was in waiting, with Cols. Somerset and Thackeray, and drove off. In passing along a part of the road where there were no lights the carriage suddenly overturned. Lord Paulet was found to be injured in the arm or shoulder, and was removed to Government-house in a cab. On examination by Dr. Hume it was found that the shoulder bone was dislocated, and the frac ture was as speedily as possible reduced. Colonels Somerset and Thackeray were uninjured. It ap pears that the town gas company are engaged in laying down a near main through the road where the accident took place, and that a large trench had been opened, with an embankment of earth on each side, without any provision being made at night, by a light or otherwise, to give warning of the state of the road. Into this chasm the carriage was precipitated over the mounds of earth. The Major. General and his officers were fortunate in escaping with their lives. Up to last evening Lord Paulet was progressing favourably. A circular received on Saturday at Woolwich from the Royal Marine Department gives a detail of the new regulations issued for the remuneration of offi ciating clergymen, who will in future be paid ac cording to the average number of officers and sol diers requiring their spiritual superintendence dur ing the period for which they are to be paid. Such payment will be made in accordance with the an nexed rule :—From 25 to 100 men, at the rate of 10s per annum for each man ; from 100 to 300 men, at the rate of 3s per annum for each man; from 301 upwards, at the rate elf 2s. As these rates have been settled with a view to the remuneration of services actually performed, clergymen must be pre pared, when required by the officer commanding the troops, to officiate in barracks. If, however, the church or chapel be within a reasonable distance of the men's quarters, the troops should attend Divine service with the ordinary congregation, should there be the means of providing them with proper accom modation. Unless there be 25 men of all ranks at a station, including officers, belonging to the Church of England, the clergyman of that Church there officiating shall not be entitled to any remuneration. The allowance to Dissenting and Roman Catholic clergymen will, in like manner, be contingent on the presence at the station of 25 officers and men belonging to their respective persuasions. THE VOLUNTEERS, The Honourable Artillery Company are making extensive alterations at their head-quarters, City road. A spacious covered. drill ground is being formed, which when completed will be capable of containing several hundred men. The roof will be constructed entirely of glass and iron. The build ing will be well ventilated and lit, so that members will be enabled to drill there at any time, whatever the state of the weather. On Tuesday last a firing party of the regiment contended at Hornsey-wood House for the prizes of the second company, con sisting of a rifle, the gift of Capt. Biden, a pair of field glasses, and a gold medal, presented by Lieutenant Lewis. The ranges were at 150, 200, and 250 yards, and, after a spirited competition, Messrs. Harrison, Griffiths, and Crosthwaite were declared the winners. Besides these gentlemen, several others made good scores, notwithstanding a very heavy wind which prevailed during the day. The party was under the command of Capt. Field, Hythe Musketry Instructor. A match took place at Wormwood Scrubbs on Saturday last between eight men of the St. James's Company and eight men of the King's College Company, Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Volunteer Corps; ranges 200, 500, and 600 yards, five rounds each range. The St. James's Company were victo rious by nine points, the prize being won by Private G. Goodman, who scored 17 points. The winners have challenged any other company in the corps to a similar match. The 3d company of the Central London Rifle Rangers (40th Middlesex) fired on Friday last at 200, 600, and 700 yards, the London Scottish and 11th Surrey lending their butts at Wimbledon. Three rifles were given as prizes —one by Mr. H. M. Lovett, and two by Capt. Woods, the captain of the company. Higher scores were expected from the excellence of some competitors in class firing. The highest score was made by Captain Woods, 5 at 200, 3 at 600, and 4 at 700 yards, in all 12. On exami nation of the 700 yards' t arget i t was found to dif fer from the register, some o f th e flags having been indistinctly seen. The squad repeat e d th e rounds The City of London Engines rs are being enrolled to perform the same duties as the Royal Engineers. The Ladies Challenge Cup, provided out of a fund arising from subscriptions of h talks, friends, and re latives of members of the Civ it Service Regiment, was shot for at "Wimbledon o n Saturday, the 26th inst. The ranges were 300 y 'ards, 500 yards, and 700 yards ; five rounds at each range. Private Wm. Henry Leach, of the 2d IVhltchall Company was declared to be the winner, having made the extra ordinary number of 21 points—viz., 9 points at 300, 7 points at 500, and 5 points at 700 yards. The contest between 18 men ef the 39th Middle sex (Finsbury) and 18 of the 40th Middlesex (Central London) was concluded o n Friday at Plum stead Marshes, and resulted in favour of the 39th by eight points. The firing on bath sides was very creditable. The highest scores made were on the part of the Finsbury at the three ranges by Colour- Sergeant Smith, who made 14 ; and on the part of their opponents by Private Gunston and Corporal Barber, who made 12 each. The Rifle shooting contest between 20 members of the 'West Middlesex and 20 of the Inns of Court (Devil's Own) Rifles took place at Wormwood Scrubs last week, the "West Middlesex proving the victors by 20 points--ranges 300, 500, and 700 yards, five shots each range. In a match between the married and single men of each corps, at the ranges of 300 and 500 yards,_the former made.2oB points, the . latter 187. The married therefore won by 21 points. On Saturday, the 28th instant, a rifle contest between 12 men selected from the sth Surrey (Reigate) and twelve of the South Middlesex (No. 2 Company), under Captain Hamersley, took place at Caterham. The conditions were five rounds each at 300, 500, and 700 yards. The match was won by the Reigate Company by 26 points. After the firing the victors were entertained by the South Middlesex at their Club-house, at Caterham. Col. Burrows, Royal Artillery, on Thursday in spected the 2d Essex Artillery Volunteers at Grays, under the direction of Gen. Sir It. Dacres, by order of the Horse Guards, Grays being within the mili tary district of Woolwich. After the inspection Col. Burrows addressed the corps, informing them that he was much pleased with the appearance and drill of the 2d Essex Artillery, considering the short time they had been raised and the distance the members are obliged to travel for drill. He told them there was every encouragement for zeal, as the public attention and favour are so much given to the Volunteers, even more than to the regular army, while the interest that is taken in the Arm strong gun makes the Artillery force of the Volun teers particularly desirable for employment. He begged of them to be very constant in attendance at drill, which, he said, is the only way to gain profi ciency; and when the exercise of the 32-pounder smooth bore is fully understood, they will be able to go on to the Armstrong gun, which it is hoped they will soon have. In conclusion, Col. Burrows assured them of the satisfaction he had experienced in witnessing the able performance of their duties that day. The past week has been a busy one with several of the Essex corps of riflemen. A silver cup, given by the Ven. Archdeacon Mildmay, chaplain of the Chelmsford Corps, has been shot for by 14 members, and won by Colour-Sergeant Scott, who made 14 points, at ranges of 200, 300, and 500 yards. Con sequent on the appointment of the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke to the office of Deputy-Lord-Lieute nant of the county, a vacancy has been occasioned in the command of the Saffron Walden corps, to which Capt. Byng has been elected. A return match between the Braintree and Witham corps has taken place, in which the Braintree gentle men have been again victorious, having made 140 ' points, or only five more than their competitors. The members of the Witham corps were on Mon day invited to an entertainment given by the inha bitants as a testimony of their approval of the Volunteer movement. The Colchester corps has presented two handsome silver goblets to Mr. Henry Sandford as an acknowledgment of his services as hon. secretary from the formation of the corps. It has been determined during the winter to suspend the ordinary outdoor assemblies of this corps, now numbering nearly 200 effective members. Lieut.-Col. Thellusson has entertained all the officers of the 3d Suffolk Administrative Battalion. The gallant colonel strongly urged upon the officers the importance of keeping up a weekly drill during the winter. In a competition among the Stow market company, the first prize, a silver tankard, provided by subscription, was won by Sergeant Matthew ; the second, a timepiece, presented by Private Tydeman, was won by Corporal King ; and a Colt's revolver, provided by subscription, was won by Sergeant Matthew. A silver goblet, presented by Ensign Stedman, to the Sudbury company, has also been shot for during the week and was won by Sergeant Rogers. A second prize of £3 was won by Private Lenny, and a third prize of £2 by Private Abrey. The last two prizes were provided by subscription, and several other minor prizes were also shot for. Sergeant Lovett, of the 54th Regi ment, has been appointed by the War-office drill instructor to the Hadleigh corps: On Thursday a competition for prizes took place at Cawston between 32 competitors selected from the Norwich and Norfolk corps. The first prize —a silver tankard—was won by Lieutenant Bur ' roughes, of the Stalham corps, and the second—an ornamental cigar case, by Corporal Cottingham, of the sth Norwich company.

On the occasion of the inauguration, a silver cup was offered by Captain Gordon, who commands the company, and money prizes by Lord Wodehouse, Lieut. Forrester, and Ensign Larke. Private Stebbing won the cup, which was given for the greatest number of points; and the other prizes were won by Surgeon Tunnaley, Corporal Spark hall, and privates Semmence and Wrigglesworth. The annual dinner of the Lincoln corps will take place early in December, when it is expected that Major Dick, inspecting officer for the Midland Counties, will again review the corps. A return match between the Collingham and Lincoln corps resulted in favour of the former. The shooting was at 200 and 300 yards, and the Collingham side of 11 in competing with 11 from the Ist Lincoln company made 133 to 105 ; in a second contest with another 11 from the 2d Lincoln company they scored 136 to 111.

Garfit, offered a valuable silver tankard, weighing 26 ounces, to be competed for by any members of the corps who would join in a 14-mile march. Thirty three appeared to start, fully armed and accoutred, each carrying 40 rounds of ball cartridge. They pro ceeded by train to Louth, and in about five minutes after their arrival commenced the march, Their destination was the Well Vale Rifle-ground at Alford, where they arrived in four hours and two minutes. Four miles of 112( wac , per formed at the' double," the road being very hilly the whole of the distance. Towards the close of the march the men were ordered to take their way over three or four. turnip fields, and everything was done to test their, energy, but everyone perse vered to the end. After a little time for refresh ments, the competition began, each man firing 10 rounds, distributed over four ranges of 200, 350 i 450, and 600 yards.

Two more 32-pounder guns have been lately re ceived for the use of the 2d West Riding of York shire (Bradford) Artillery Corps, and have been mounted on an earthwork battery in Peel-park. The battery now contains six guns, four belonging to the Government, and two are trophies of war from Sebastopol. _ The 3d East York (File} and Hunmanby) Artil lery Volunteers met at Hunmanby on Wednes day for the prize carbine contests. The arrangement was for each Volunteer to have five shots, at 100 and 300 yards. The first prize, an electroplated As apprehensions were entertained that the present year was to be one of great scarcity and trial to the poor, it may be worth while to glance backward at the movement of the same markets during the last three years. The average price of wheat, which is now, as we have seen, 24f. 87c., was 18f. 44c. for the year 1858, 19f. 75c. in 1859, and 21f. 17c. in 1860. It was 17f 9c during the latter quarter of 1858, 18f 76c in the same period of 1859, 22f 81c in the same period of 1860. Bread, which is now 56c, 47c, and 37c per kilogramme (according to quality), was 47c, 36c, and. 30c in 1848; 48c, 37c, and 30c in 1859; and 50c, 39c, and 32c in 1860. The rise has been gradual from year to year, and the prices of this year have not greatly exceeded the usual march in the scale. Therehas been hardly any movement in the price of rice, tke price of which for the last three years was 25f. 25c. ; 25f. 14c. ; and 25f. 96c. ; and is now, as shown above, 26f. 67c. The only notable difference is in maize, a produce which has suffered this year from the al most unprecedented drought, and which from its average price of llf. 12c. in 1858, of 10f. 86e. in 1859,, and 12f. 66e. in 1860, has now risen to 18f. 50c. You are aware that the vintages have been for the last 10 or 12 years very poor throughout Italy ; some parts of Piedmont, however, especially the provinces of Asti and Montferrat, have either escaped the grape disease altoge ther, or have had it of a milder character, and recovered from it an earlier epoch. The consequence of this has been not only to enrich the wine growers of those districts to such an extent that their lands have risen to twice p.nd thrice their former value, but also to supply the whole of Piedmont with their produce, and to do away with the im portation of French ordinary wines, which had been very considerable from the year 1854 to 1856. The best quality of wines sold in Turin at 48f. 76c. in 1858 ; it rose to 52f. 71c. in 1859, and again to 62f. 4c. in 1860. The prices of the lower qualities evinced a proportionate increase. This year, as we have seen, the vintage has been a very good one, and the prices for the first quality have fallen to 59f. The fall has not been as great as we had reason to expect, partly in consequence of the almost universal rise in the price of provisions in general, partly also owing to the demands of wine all over the country, to replenish the cellars which long scarcity had almost entirely exhausted. The free cir culation of wine throughout those Lombard and other pro vinces which were hitherto either closed against I'iedmon tese commerce, or were the grape disease has not yet en tirely disappeared, must also account for the steadiness of the market prices. Notwithstanding the scarcity of fuel all over the country, wood, which had risen to perfectly terrific prices from 1851 to 1857, suffered a gradual abatement during the last three years. The best quality, oak, sold at 44c. per myriagramnic in 1858; at 41e. in 1859; at 39c. in 1860. Its price is again rising, and we pay for it now 45c. Forage has risen very high in consequence of the late drought ; you are aware that in the /Emilia cattle are being slaughtered very freely from the impossibility of feeding it through the winter. The distress is not so very great in these Sub-Alpine countries ; yet the price of hay, which was 94c per myriag,ramme in 1858; 82c in 1858, and 76c in 1860, is now if 15e ; and straw has risen to 65c instead of sic, 55c, and 54c, the re spective prices of the last three years. The quantity of wheat sold in the Turin market in 1858 was 29,298 hectolitres; it rose in 1859 to 56,032 hectolitres, and in 1850 to 173,557. If we reckon the average quantity sold this year at 4,000 hectolitres weekly, we shall have for the whole year 208,000 hectolitres—an increase which in 1859 might be partly ascribed to the consumption of troops during the Lombard war, but the continued progress of which can only be explained by the rapid growth of this city and the developing importance of its markets. The quantity of all grains has kept pace with that of wheat. Of maize, for instance, 17,762 hectolitres were sold in 1858; 74,960 in 1859; 144,891 in 1860. The average weekly sale in October of this year, in spite of the scarcity, is 7,000. Of wine there were sold 104,410 hectolitres in 1858 ; 93,190 in 1859; 93,530 in 1800. The average weekly sale this month has been about 3,000 hectolitres. There has been hardly any perceptible difference in the quantity of butter sold in Turin, varying from 84,000 to 83,000 kilo grammes a year for the last three years, and being some • thing about 2,100 kilogrammes weekly during the present month. The same amount of poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, &c., or very nearly, has also been sold every year for the last three years ; though almost all these commodities have been slowly and steadily rising in price. It seems evi dent that, while the sale of objects of first necessity, such as bread and wine (in Italy), is doubled and trebled regardless of price, articles of comparative luxury, fowls, fruits, &c., are sold in less quantity in proportion as price renders them inaccessible to the poorer classes in the community. On the whole, although this year's harvest has been con sidered as somewhat below the average ; and the scanty crop of maize, especially, must needs cause great distress among the lowest classes, especially of the tural population, it does not seem that prices have been rising at a much more rapid or alarming rate than they have been doing for the last 'few years. If the maize has been burnt up by the drought, the wheat and rye and other grain crops have, on the whole, been pretty fair, and that of rice very plentiful. The vintage has been such as Italy has scarcely witnessed since the year 1849, and the quality makes up for any deficiency in quantity. Chestnuts have not been scarce; we have the best news from the olive districts ; and fruit has been generously ripened by the un clouded sun, so that, although it sells very high, owing to the great demand created through the country by the re moval of frontier barriers, and the increased facility of traffic, whatever is to be found at the markets is of a re markably good description. • DIE REPRESENTATION OF CARLISLE.—Mr. Ed ward James, Q.C., of the Northern Circuit, has issued an address to the electors of Carlisle, in which he status that on Saturday last, when ho received intelligence of the death of Sir James Graham, he at once resolved, acting on the ad vice of several of his friends, to become a candidate for the vacant seat. Respect for the memory of the distinguished statesman and for the feelings of his relatives and friends, induced him to defer addressing the electors until the earth had closed over the remains of Sir James. But he now learned he had been anticipated, and, to prevent even an ap pearance of division in the Liberal party, he will abstain from offering himself as a candidate. Should, however, another opportunity arise, he will offer his services.
