Prices of Ame rican were id. per lb. higher than last week. The sales were estimated at 15,000 hol ies , com prising 5,000 Pernam and Maranham at 61d. to 7d. ; 700 Egyptian, at 6d. to BAd. ; and 1,500 Surat, at 41d. to 51d. per lb. r:111 , ..., Railway Share , Market was quiet, but prices we're steady, at Tues day's currency. Advices from Turin state That the drain of silver gt specie has been going or. for some time in that 50 city. Almost every diligence which comes from 50 Lyons brings hundred sof thousands of francs and io crowns in payment for • silks and other raw produce, 10 which disappears from the bank shortly after it 50 arrives. The expoeLs of specie to Naples, Geneva, and elsewhere, amount to m a / 1 y millions of franec t. in a week, to the great injury of commerce. The St. Bank have given notice that they will not discount , is t * to merchants in specie for Sol ne t i me, as t h ey h ave 25 only one million of crowns in cash for three mil- 3 t• lions in notes, which causes any decrease of coin to l l' create great perttv:bation n the money-market. at. The provisional agreem , 3nt made with the Great 10 Northern of France Railway Company for leasing it) the Mons and Menage 1 ine was agreed to this day, St• guaranteeing 6 per cer it . per annum on th e or i g i - 10 nal shares. It appears that the r v:cent resolution of the Bank of Belgium with regar id to the exchange of French 20f. pieces in gold, a': a discount of 21 per cent., has created much am . barrassment, and given um- 12 brage to the Frenc' a Government. The rate of 50 exchange in silver 'ls 19f. 80c. for the 20f. piece, 1 6 6 1 but even this is nof easily obtained on account of it. the scarcity of silo ter in Belgium, while the holders ,g of notes can demand payment in sf. pieces, so that 1/i it benefits them' then they exchange their silver St. for gold and remit . the same to France. It is hinted 20. that the attention of the Government has been 10 drawn to the subj. 301, and that they may prohibit 12 the currency of Bc ilgian 20f. pieces in France. 10 The Directors of the Bank of England have in held their mee Ling, an d no a lt erat i on has F been announced in the minimum, rate of dis count, although there was an impression in some quarters tb at an increase of A per cent. , would have been deemed advisable. During the last few days the demand for discount accommodation has. ;been very active, and full rates have been current ; but the principal circumstance which has given ' rise to the expectation of an ad vance is the restr iotive policy now pursued by the continental ban's,. In Prussia the pressure has been so se/ere that the Bank of Berlin has raised the rate from '5 to 6 per cent., although it is not more than a fortnight since the rate was altered from 4 to ri per cent. Notwithstanding the quotation in Threadneedle-street is still 4i per cent., there is every probability of a change before long, and many suppose it cannot be deferred beyond next week. English Securities, at present attract little atten tion, the various markets having become much quieter. The quotations continue heavy. At the commencement of business, the Funds Were est almost nominal quotations, an indis position being evinced to operate until the re sult 'of the Bank " parlour" meeting was ascer tained ; but when it was reported that no chr4nge had been determined upon the market slightly improved. Consols for transfer have been 9:4 to 94 and 931 to 94 ; for account they have been 931 to 94 and 941. Exchequer Bills are steady at 13s. to 17s. premium, and East India 3 Bonds are 'marked 14s. to 17s. premium. The Foreign Market has remained in a dull state, mad prices have not varied to any material extent:. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 101 to 102, but the 4 per Cents. are nominal. Spanish Th':ees are 43±, and the Deferred 24k. Russian 'i.ves are firm at 108, and Peruvian 4i per Cents. at 791- Buenos Ayres are flat, being 80k. batch 2i per Cents. have been marked 64 The following are the nominal prices of Foreign I Stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 to 7i ; Mexican, 22i to ; Peruvian,. 79 to 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 to 58 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., .4 to 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 107 to 109 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 96 to 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., MI 31; ditto Deferred, 241 ; ditto Certificates, 5i 6 ; ditto Passive, 6i. 7, The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : it. 50 4t.

ACM - ACCOMMODATION BILL TRANSACTIONS. This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 3i. 6d. on a promissory note, given under he following pecu liar circumstances : It appeared by the evidence that the defendant bad accepted an accommodation bill for the plaintiff, who had paid it away to a Mr. Lancaster, and the bill being dishonoured the latter sued the defendant, who was ar rested. The plaintiff was appealed to on the subject, as defendant at the time held two accommodation bills accepted by the plaintiff, and, after some dis cussion, it was agreed that he should obtai❑ the release of the defendant on the latter giving a promissory note for the amount claimed, 18/. 3s. 6d., and making an assignment for the benefit of the creditors —this was done, and the plaintiff signed the deed for that amount, but it was contended that that was for a bill for] clothes, and that the note was given to enable plaintiff to settle with Lancaster. Fur the defendant, it was contended, the debt was either released under the deed, or was given in fraud against the other creditors, b 3 giving the plaintiff a preference, and therefore void. The learned Under -sheriff summed up, and directed the attention of the jury to the fact that the amount in the deed was exactly the same as that of the note, and left it to the jury whether it was for the debt ; if so, it was released by the deed. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.; MANSION-HOUSE. A man named French wag placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Carter, charged with wilful damage, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Mr. J. R. Egan, landlord of the Monument Tavern, 48, Fish•street Hill, that the prisoner came to his house last night between 5 and 6 o'clock, and was very annoying to the customets. The witness remonstrated with him, apd desired him to desist, but he refused. He then ordered him to leave, but he would not, and threatened witness, who came round to put him out, and caught hold of him for that purpose, on which the prisoner attempted to break away from him, but finding it impossible, he deliberately sent his fist through a square of plate glass, value 2/. 10s. After that the prisoner succeeded in getting from the witness, and ran out of the door ; but, coming in contact with the lamp-post, he was brought up, and detained by the witness until a policeman came up, when he was given int 9 custody. The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, and asked to be permitted to settle the case with the complainant. Alderman Carter told him he had committed an offence against the law, and the complainant had no right to compromise the affair. He had committed a wanton damage, and he fined him 2/. 10s., the value of the glass, and costa, or two months' imprisonment. The prisoner was unable to pay the fine, and he was accordingly locked up.

HIGHWAY ROBBEBY.—John Welch was placed at the bar, before Alderman Cubitt, charged with highway robbery. Mr. Robert Smith, of 16, Wellington-street, Victo ria-park, deposed that last night, about nine o'clock, he was walking along Holborn-hill with a parcel under one hand and a stick and umbrella in the other, when he felt his umbrella strike against something, and on look ing round saw a man whom he believed to be the pri soner. He apologised to him for having unintentionally struck him, on which the prisoner forced his company and conversation on him, informing him that he (pri soner) bad been to a wrestling match in St. Martin's'. lane. He had a glass too much. After some conversa tion he got in front of the prosecutor and caught hold of him by the hip and put his foot between his (prosecutor's) to show him how they wrestled. After that the prisoner left the prosecutor, and from the manner in which he left him and walked across the street his suspicions -were aroused, and on putting his hand in his trousers pocket he found his portemonaie, containing a sovereign, and 2s. 6d. in silver, gone. He gave information to police con stable 235, and they went to the corner of Farringdon street, where they saw the prisoner and another man standing. On their going up to them they both ran off, but the prisoner was apprehended near Farringdon market. The prisoner protested his innocence of the charge, and said he had been for two years in the City of Lon don militia, and appealed to tke Quartermaster, who was present, to verify the fact. The Quartermaster said he knew the prisoner had been in the militia, but he could not speak to his general conduct. Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner was an old hand, and had been convicted before. The prisoner said he admitted he bad been a bad cha- racter, and that it was more than two years ago that he was convicted. As the prosecutor declined to swear positively to the prisoner, the Alderman gave him the benefit of the doubt, and discharged him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DRUNKEN TRlO.—Charles Hawes, George GrzYithe, and John Gray, described on the charge sheet as gentle men, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and disorderly. Joy, 338 A, stated that at three o'clock this morning he saw the defendant Hawes, who, was very drunk, in Carlton•street, Pall-mall ; he was very noisy, and as his conduct was likely to cause anuoyancs to the it.habi tants he took . him into custody. The other defendants, who were also drunk, then came up, and attempted to rescue him. Witness, however, with assistance, took the whole three to the station house. The defendant Gray was exceedingly violentsand struck witness on a e mouth. The prisoners denied the charge. Mr. Bingham said he was satisfied that the case wag proved, and fined Hawes 10s., Griffiths 205., and Gray 40s. for his violence to the officers. CHARGE OF CRIJELTY.—Chares Hawes, a cabdriver, badge 8,640, was charged with driving a horse in an unfit condition. Mr. Wemys, tho superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was in att end. ante on behalf of the society. Police-constable Burn said he was on duty in the Haymarket that morning, when he saw the defendant on the cab-rank with a horse and Hansom cab. Having previously received information of the state of prisoner's horse he went up and examined it, and found a large raw wound on the clic st, a wound on the back, and two ethers on the withers, all raw and bleeding. He called defendant's attention to the state of the horse, when he pretended he knew nothing at all about it. Defendant now repeated the same statement to the magistrate. Mr. Bingham, having looked at the horse, said it was in a cruel state, and find the defendant 205., or 14 days' imprisonment. THAMES. THE THIEF AN) RECEIVER.—IMPORTANT CONVICTION. —John Seal, a labourer, and William Wright, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cake of copper, weighing 951b5., and value Si The prisoner Wright was apprehended on the Mb inst. by police-constable Townsend, No. 54 H. He was bringing a large cake of capper out of the White Lion public-house, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, and was about to put it into a cab when Townsend arrested him and asked him where be obtained it, to which he replied that a man gave it to him. He was brought before Mr. Selfo on the 16th instant, re manded till Thursday last, and again remanded till this day. Yesterday Seal was apprehended by Townsend, and Mr. J. R. Bell, wharfinger of Fresh Wharf, Thames-street, said that Seal was in his employ, and that the copper was stolen from a warehouse which was broken open between Saturday afternoon, the 13th instant, and Monday morning, the 15th. Mrs. Wright, wife of one of the prisoners, and a man named Clark, in her employ, said that Seal brought the cake of copper to Mr. Wright's shop in Little Prescott street, Whitechapel, on the night of Saturday, the 13th instant. They would have nothing to do with it. This day, at 12 o'clock, the prisoners were again ar ra4,ned, and the evidence having been repeated, John Messenger, rag-sorter, in the employ of the prisoner Wright, said he was directed by his master to carry the cake of copper from Wright's shop, No. 10, Little Presott-street, Whitechapel, to the White Lion public house in Leman-street, Whitechapel, on the 15th instant. Soon after he carried the copper to the public-house his master wai apprehended by the police. Mr. Haynes, a solicitor, said Wright was a most re spectalN man, and was made the victim of a plant. The copper was left by a man of whom he knew nothing, and Wright was removing it w h en h e was taken into custody. Townsend said that Wright had been fined 51. for the unlawful possession of speltre some time ago. Mr. Haynes,—That belonged to his wife, who was a SOUTHWARK. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.-JOE Chaffy, a young man about 22 years of age, was brought up charged with stealing 12 sovereigns, the property of George Fudger, tanner and leather dresser, Sandford street, Horselydown. Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Neale for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that on the 24th of August the prisoner was in his employ, and had been some time pre vious. On that day witness bad 30 sovereigns in a drawer in his bed-room, and he left home for seven days. On his return on the Ist of September ho had some com plaint to make against the prisoner and he discharged him. After he had left his service witness missed twelve sovereigns, which he had left safe onthe 24th of August. From information be had received he communicated with the police and the prisoner wastaken into custody. The son of the prosecutor said that one morning he saw the prisoner in the passage, partly undressed, com ing from the direction of his father's bed-room. He had no business there, as his bed-room was not in that direc tion. As soon as his father informed him that he bad been robbed, he told him of that occurrence. It was also shown that the prisoner had expended about four pounds for furniture, and bad given a young female to whom he was about to get married a sove reign, and the latter said that the prisoner told ber that ho bad twelve sovereigns in the bank. The prosecutor was at some length by Mr. Neale, and, in answer to questions put, said that he paid the prisoner during the last ten months upwards of 131., out of which he had to pay Hs. a week for board and lodging. Mr. Neale then contended that there was no case against his client, inasmuch as he bad lawfully possessed as much money as he had expended. The magistrate asked whether he could produce evi dence as to his having the 12/. in the bank. If he could do so his opinion would be altered. Mr. Neale observed that be did not consider that WWI required, as it might have been idle talk with his sweet heart. The Magistrate said that the case was full of suspicion. The prisoner being seen coming from his master's room, and the money being missed, and his possession of so many sovereigns after being discharged, were presump tive evidence against him. He should, under all the cir cumstances, remand him for further inquiry. THE BRIGHTON SEASON. We (says the Brighton Gazette) may state with cer tainty that the town was never so full of fashionable ♦isi tors as it is at the present time, considering that a new town has sprung up in the neighbourhood, composed of first-class houses, called Clifton ville, fully occupied. It has proved a sort of El Dorado to some speculators, and it adds very much to the importance of Brighton as a fashionable watering place. Cliftonville is situated about half a mile distant from the western extremity of Brighton, and it is really astonishing that the place should so soon be occupied, not only by visitors, but by persons in easy circumstances, who take every oppor tunity of purchasing a permanent abode in this, what may be termed a new fashionable locality. We have i❑ Brighton our Albion, Bedford, York, and other hotels of a first-class character, and to meet the requirements of Cliftonville, the Sussex Hotel, under the able manage merit of Mr. Jones, has been built, and, from the excel lence of the accommodation, forms an adjunct to this new fashionable resort of the most recherche character. Brighton proper, as we should say in political or paro chial parlance, has been and is doing a great business, and we may indeed pride ourselves upon the positio❑ which we hold in the fashionable world, which is more than ever favourable to the interests of the town. Some towns boast of their 4,000 and 5,000 visitors, and not improperly so, but Brighton may boast at the present time of its 40,000 or 50,000 visitors, and it will be few wide of the mark. Long as we have reeided i❑ the town, we have been astonished to see the rapidly grow ing increase and prosperity of Brighton. Our arrivals continue to far outnumber the departures, as will be seen by our fashionable columns. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Radley's Hotel, to receive a report from the directors with regard to improving the posi• Lion of the company, and extending the line to Armagh ; ➢Tr. Lattimore in the chair. It was estimated that 160,0001. would complete the line, and it was proposed to provide that amount by the issue of 16,000 extension shares of 101. each, upon which 5 per cent, was to be guaranteed as a first charge on the undertaking. The existing shares of tho Newry Company would be con verted into 101. shares, in the proportion of three to each 101. share, such shares to form a deferred stock, having a second charge on the revenue of the railway, and to be entitled to 4 per cent, per annum ; the sur plus, if any, to be divided between the preferential or guaranteed shares and the deferred shares, so that the former would al ways Lave 1 percent. more than the latter. The directors recommended that application should be made to Parliament in the ensuing session to renew the powers for constructing the line from Newry to Armagh. The directors did not expect that more than another ss. call on the old shares would be necessary to clear off all the liabilities of the company. In reply to questions it was stated that the holders of old shares would not be compelled to subscribe for new shares. The Ulster carrying company were prepared to take 1,000 stares in the new capital for making the line to Armagh. The report was unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con eluded the proceedings. LOWESTOFT AND BECCLES. The general riveting of this company was held at Lowestoft on Saturday ; Mr. R. Leathes in the chair. The directors and auditors having been chosen, the meeting resolved it se lf i n t o a spec i a l one, to authorise2 the extension of the leasing of the line, and to amalga mate with the East Suffolk. ___ Resolutions were then ea/Tied approving of the offer made by Sir M. Peto to extend the lease of 14 years to the term of 21 years, at the same guaranteed rent of 61. per cent, per annum, authorising the directors t) nego tiate the terms of the proposed amalgamation with the East Suffolk Company, and to make application to Par liament to sanction the arrangement. Tho proceedings then terminated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Sept. 23.—Wind this day at noon, W.; fresh breeze and cloudy.

For metropolitan turfites the Manchester men could scarcely have selected two more inconvenient days on which to celebrate their Autumn Meeting than Friday and Saturday; still they had the inclinations and the wishes of the people of the locality to consult, and a consideration of the half-holiday movemect, doubtless, guided their choice of Saturday for a race day. The programme presents quite a long array of stakes, but if my information be trustworthy the fie'ds are likely to be numerically insignificant. In the absence of all certain knowledge as to the intended competitors, and not having yet seen a list of arrivals, my guesses at truth will perhaps be somewhat vague. Still I shall calculate the chances as they appear on paper, and if I only cam insure "a run," I shall not make many errors of judgment. From the twenty-three weighted for the Chesterfield Handicap it is difficult to make a selection. Mongrel and Cox well may perhaps show to the most advantage. Yorkshire Grey really seems to be "a good thing" for the Wilton Handicap, and he has already been b tcked in London at a short price. Mary, however, despite her recent queer running, should be my unconditional selection, if I were certain that she is really intended. Under the circumstances, therefore, I shall let the "Grey " represent my interest ; but, should Mary go to the Post, and be backcd, I shall transfer my liking to the mare. It would puzzle a conjuror to divine the probable winner of the Trafford Plate. In my opinion Bour geoise and Jack Sheppard are leniently handicapped. The Post-Office Hotel Handicap will be carried off by either The Medway or Biron. The running on Saturday will be so materially re gulated by the result of Friday's racing that it would bo preposterous to endeavour to determine the proba bilities. The advent of the Newmarket Meeting warns us of the approaching termination of the legitimate racing season. The first of the series of October gatherings at head•quartsrs will take place next week. Still there is much work to be got through before dreary November brings the curtain down upon legitimate turf sports. A winter of unusual dulness to racing men may be anti cipated, for the promoters of steeplechases have yet made no sign by which we may discover any increase or improvement in oross country events. When time and opportunities serve I will briefly refer to the winter prospects of sport. Sept. 25. A FRESH MAN. Sporting Intelligence. LEICESTER RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Ryder, which ship received her powder and shell yester day afternoon, and sails for the Mediterranean to-day. After having landed the medals for the Turkish army she will proceed to Naples. Additional gun-boats are now building for the Govern ment, at the yards of Messrs. Pitcher, Nortbfleet, and Messrs. J. Scott Russell, Mill wall. nig fact excites some surprise, as the number of this class of vessels now lying totally useless in the basin positively interferes with the ordinary business of the establishment. The Bustard, 4, Lieut. Commander Collinson, and Star ling, 4, Lieut. Commander Villiers, screw gun-boats, are fitting atPortsmouth dockyard for service in China. We are at a loss to comprehend the Admiralty movements with regard to the armament of these useful little craft, or even their sailing advantages. There is not an ama teur in the kingdom, as a cutter or a schooner sailor, but whas knows the advantage of a equaresail-yard in running before the wind, as big as he can possibly set ; yet really the present small squaresail-yards belonging to the Bustard and Starling are being ; redaced to mop han dles, rendering them perfectly useless. If the Board of Admiralty have confidence in the officers selected to com mand these vessels, it would be only fair towards them that they should be permitted to fit and rig their vessels according to their own judgment. Again, with regard to their armament. Those who have been accustomed to the China seas in chase of pirates know well how use less, comparatively, is a 32-pounder. It is the crushing 68 that terrifies the enemy, and makes an impression on man and vessel. Well, then, we have the Raleigh, Cruise r and ilighflyer, proceeding to China. Why do not these ships take out 68-pounders for the gun-boats ; Plenty of 32's may be had in India, but very few 68's. We also beg to suggest that a new forefoot be added to the Starling. She will have on her voyage out to depend en canvas, and in sailing on a wind more gripe is important to her ; the expense is a mere bagatelle compared with the advantages that would accrue. The Turkish ship of war Payki Zaffer, of 104 guns, Commander Ismail Bey, which arrived at Plymouth on Monlay, was visited the next day by Mr. Thomas Were Fox, jun., the Turkish Consul, who was honoured with $ salute of nine guns, and who subsequently escorted her commander and two other officers to Mount Wise, where they were received by Port-Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, G. &c. Arrangements are to be made at the Devon port Dockyard fer fitting the Payki Zaffer in the "Union Dock with her machinery and a screw, for which she in already prepared, and, in order to expedite the work, the dock will be supplied with gas. Her crew. 550 mer e will in the mean time be placed on board . a Government hulk in Harnoaze. The engines, of 600' herse power, will be prepared in the Cyde, and sent to Devonport. When this ship left Constantinople she was bound for Liverpool, but on arrival at Gibraltar was ord.-red to the Royal arsenal at Devonport. She was built at C. nstanti nople about eight years eiece, and thoroughly repaired acre in 1854. In consequence of instructi , ns from the Admiralty, rt, court, consisting of Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, G C. 8., Commander•in-Chiet at Plymouth ; Rear-Adiniral W. F. Martin, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, and Rear Admiral Sir H. D.

Superintendent Joseph Nina, and the other officers of the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth, are per formed ; and also to inquiro into the circumstances which recently took place between Capt. Nias and Dr. Budd, when an application was made to admit some distin gui-led French visitors to see the establishment. The non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the following depots at the provisional battalion, Chat ham, completed their course of instruction yesterday in the theory and practice of the Enfield rifle, under Captain W. Nott, 83d Regt., and Lieut. A. M'Leod—viz :-27th Enniskillens, 32 , c, 35th Royal Sussex Regt., 524 Light Infantry, 53J, 60th Mies, fir.st battalion, 61,t, 64th, and 78th Highlander', with the following officers :—Ensign W.

C. ff., GUITERKOR CLIELSEA 110,SPTTAL. We regret to have to announce the demise of General Sir Colin Halkett, the gallant Governor of Chelsea Hos pital, who expired at a few minutes before eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, at his residence at the Hospital. The venerable and gallant General had been in delicate health for some months, when, about eight weeks back, be was seized with a very serious attack of gout, to which he bad been occasionally subject. The General never thoroughly recovered, but it was only within 24 hours of his dissolution that the termination of his earthly career was found to be rapidly approaching. Dr. Mac lachlan had been unremitting in his attendance on the gallant Governor, assisted by the deputy-surgeon of the Hospital, Dr. J. C. Gaulier, the latter of whom was present at the decease of the General. The gallant deceased was eldest son of Major-General Frederick Halkett, by his marriage with Miss Setor, and was, we believe, in the 83d year of his age. He entered the army at a youthful age, as Ensign in the 3d Buffs, and served subsequently in other regiments until he obtained a Lieut.-Colonelcy in 1803. He was then ordered to take part in the struggle in the Peninsula, and was appointed to the command of a brigade of the German Legion, and during that command took an active part in the battles of Albuera, Salamanca, Vittoria, and the passage of the Nive, and for his services at which he received a cross. The gallant General was also at Wa. terloo in command of the second division of the 2d Corps d'Armee, under the command of General Lord Hill. At that signal victory Sir Colin 's division was hotly engaged, and he had four hor-es shot under him, and also received four wounds, one through the face, the shot carrying away a portion of his palate, one at the back of the neck, another in the thigh, and one in his heel. Sir Colin Halkett's active military career may be con sidered to have closed with the return of peace. In 1830 he was appointed Colonel of the 31st Foot, and in 1847 was appointed to the Coloceloy in chief of de 45th (Not tingharnshirt) Foot, which becomes vacant by his la mented decease. The gallant General was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Chelsea Hospital, but only lied that position a few months when the death of General Sir George Anson led to a vacancy of the governorship of that military asylum, when the Duke of Wellington at once conferred the honourable appointment upon the gallant deceased. Sr Cohn having gone through all the minor classes of the Order of the Bath, was nominated a Grand Cross of that noble military order in 1843. Ho was also a Knight Craud Cross of the Hanoverian Guelph:c Order, a Knight (31 class) of Wilhelm of tl e Netherlands, a Knight Commander of theßavarian Order of Maximilian Joseph, and a Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal. The late Sir Colin was married, and leaves an only son, Captain Frederick J. C. Hellcat, of the 71st Regi• nient, and three daughters. Sir Colin Halkett's brother, also distinguished for his military talents during the great European war, bolds the high post of Corninander• in-Chief of the Hanoverian army. The gallant General's commission ; Colonel,sionhor edate January Ist, follows : Lieut.-Colonel, Nov. 17th, 1812 ; Major G e neral, June 4th, 1314 ; Lievt.•General, July 22d, ; and General, Nov, 9t13, 1846.

"Sir,—ln my own behalf, and that of the officers and others composing the expedition under my command, I write to tender to you, and, through you, to the officers and seamen under your command, our sincere thanks for the prompt and inestimable assistance rendered by the party despatched to the Upper Chuquanaqua under the immediate command of Lieutenant W. C. Forsyth. To the energy and activity of the commander of the relief party, Lieut. W. C. Forsyth, we owe many thanks, as the condition of some members of our expedition was so precarious that even a few hours afterwards we should have been too late. To him, to Dr. Williarti Ross, and to the paymaster, W. H. Hills, and the men composing the crew of the paddlebox.boat, you will be pleased to convey my thanks, and those of my party, and I am well aware it must be a source of intense satisfac tion to them to know that, had it not been for their well. directed efforts, twelve suffering men must inevitably have perished miserably, notwithstanding every effort which I, or the others composing the advanced guard, might have been made to save them.
