Th e . p m Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now it e „7! uPon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the '"ug of its Shareholders. The Directors FIRE BRANCH. et, rectors have. as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the . e 0 , the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire oniturns have not only reached, but exceed Z 300,000. (Z h e high comparative position held by the Royal in the i i ernment Returns of Duty is afy,nin fully mhintained. th n oe profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably amount realised in the precedmg year, and in fact sur c,''ea that of any year, with but two exceptions, sine the Mmencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on t cc ount of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,107 10s. tau eIY and th e 16 e Northled American business, which is kept se p a - L, 411,5. .

U n til within the last I ,"r years it is believed that such a sum aesured as that which "as Just been announced as the result of one year's business has all but unheard of. This portion of the Company's business has been carefully tvatched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the s hareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the lutnre to the participating life assurer. Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggtregate sum proposed for assuranne amounts to 1.13.28 I. Various degrees of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined. No small number of the Assurance Companies of the da record their accepted lives annually at a sum not muds. if at all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as in admis- Floe in a single year from deterioration of some kind or another. lif, to complete their review, th e Di rec t ors now advert p rietiv to the United Kingd om, th ey h ave to announce that rFire Business its progre ss h as b een un d ou b tedly more nia than that of a n y o th er C ompany esta b lished either in glace.

There is a consi derable Confederate force north of the Rappahan nock belosT Fredericksburg. The Confederate cavalry have made demonstrations at various points along the Potomac. It was reported this afternoon that Gen. Stuart had crossed into Maryland for another raid. The absence of further news from Charleston creates an unfavourable impression. Admiral Fahlgren is reported to be sick. A formidable expedition is about to leave New Orleans for Mobile or Texas. Gen. Blunt crossed the Arlionsto Itiver On thc 23U ult.

The Belfast festivities in honour of the visit of the Channel fleet terminated yesterday evening. At 3 o'clock the officers sat down to a (lei - Liter, provided for them in the Town-hall by the mem bers of the corporation. Admiral Dacres was un able _to attend, owing to official business, but about 60 of the officers of the squadron accepted the invitation of the Mayor. Among the other guests were Colonel O'Connor, C. 8., the Rev. Dr. Henry, President of the Queen's College, and a num ber of other gentlemen occupying official positions in the town. Mr. John Lytle, Mayor of Belfast, presided, and the victe chairs were filled by three aldermen of the corporation. The toasts of " The Queen," "The Prince and I'rincess of Wales," and " The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland" having been re ceived with due honours and much warmth of loyal and patriotic feeling, the Mayor proposed "The Army and Navy," introducing the toast, as he had done the others, with appropriate remarks that eli cited the applause of the company. Colonel O'Con nor, C. 8., responded on the part of the Army, and Captain Skinner on 'behalf of the Navy. The Mayor then proposed " Admiral Dacres and the Officers of the Squadron." lie had learned that the Admiral became a sailor when he was only 11 years old, that ho had advanced in his profession gradually till he had attained almost the height of his ambition, and they all wished that, having devoted his life to the profession, he might end by having attained its highest point. It is scarcely necessary to say that the toast was received with enthusiasm. Lieutenant P. H. Colomb responded for Admiral Dacres, and Lieutenant Sir Lambton Lorraine on behalf of the officers. Col. O'Connor then asked permission to pro pose "The Mayor, and Prosperity to the Town of Belfast." The gallant gentleman said he had been absent from his native country 35 years, and it afforded him great gratification in returning to it to be at one of the first public dinners in Belfast. " Rsmbling through the world," he said, "as a sol dier of fortune—the world mine oyster, which I opened with my sword, and a very difficult opening it was—l heard in many places of Belfast, but I was not aware of the great success of the city and the vast progress it had made till I returned home." He concluded NV "A cheer for the Ladies of Belfast." The Mayor returned thanks, and re marked that their guests had that day but a meagre exhibition of what Belfast was doing. It stood pre eminent in Ireland as a manufacturing place, and there were few towns of its size in the United King dom that could compare with it. Its exports are about £10,000,000 per annum, and its imports be tween X 3,000,000 and £4,000,000. They could easily see where the balance of profit lay. Lord Beresford, midshipman, in the Defence, having been called on to reply on the part of the ladies, said if he had been a little older he could have done much better. The Mayor, after praising the kindness and courtesy of the officers to the crowds of visitors to the squadron while in the Lough, gave " Our next I merry meeting," and the company separated. The pleasure of the day was followed by a fatal accident to in the the officers, which caused much painful feeling the town as well as in the fleet. No one enjoyed the festivities more heartily than Lint: Clarence Gardiner, one of the officers on board the flagshiP Edgar. Ile was returning with his brother officers from the dejeu2zer by the Northern Counties Railway, travelling in a first-class car riage. At P ancrue, one of the intermediate stations, he got out on the roof for the purpose of smoking a cigar. On the arrival of the train at Carrickfergus he was missed. Soarch was made, and the body was found on the line, quite dead, and shockingly dis figured. The wheels of at least one carriage must have passed over his head, which was crushed into a shapeless mass ; the ground was bespattered with his brains, and the fingers of ono of his hands were cut clean off. Deceased was quite a young man, and though but a short time in the service, he had won the esteem and regard of hi s b ro th er o ffi cer s, and of all others with whom he came in =tact. His remains were removed to the waiting room of the Carrickfergus station, where an inquest was held to-day. The .2Vorthern Whig say s " We feel assured that this most melancholy acci dent, by which a gallant young officer of only 30 years of age has lost his life during a period of pleasure and festivity, will be regarded with uni versal regret in Belfast. It is peculiarly painful under present circumstances, and, we know, will excite a feeling of general sympathy and sorrow. It is deeply to be deplored that so dreadful a catas trophe should have marred the brightness of the squadron' s visit to Belfast Lough." A letter has been received by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, in reply to an invitation to the Rear-Ad miral and the fleet to visit Dublin Bay, in which it is btated that the squadron will remain at Liverpool at least a week, and then, weather permitting, the squadron, on leaving the Mersey, will visit Dublin B a y. The letter concludes as follows : 6; While most sincerely and heartily appreciating your kind intentions as to the reception of the squad ron, I do not think it would be advisable for you to ma ke any arrangements t h at wou ld b e li a bl e to al teration in the event of my being obliged to make a`change in the destination of the ships under my command in consequenc e o f the very var i a b le weather at this advanced season of the year." Great dissatisfaction has been expressed here that the Lord Mayor of Dublin has net been earlier in the field, and that through the tardiness and apathy of the corporation the met r op ol is has been d e p r i ve d of a visit from the Channel fleet, which Londonderry and Belfast have enjoyed, owing to the public spirit of their civic authorities. The physicians of the Archbishop issued the fol lowing bulletin this morning :—" There is an in crease of bad symptoms in the leg." The Lord Mayor, with Professor Kavanagh and Mr. knight, the acting emigration agent for the SEPTEAIBER 14, 1863, colony of Victoria, attended this morning at the City-hall for the purpose of selecting a number of persons for emigration to Victoria. There was a large number of married men and women and their children in the hall, and several unmarried women, healthy and good looking, all of whom, says the Morning News, evinced the utmost anxiety to have their names enrolled for emigration. There wes a selection made of 75 men and women, from 18 to 35 years of age, with no more than two children, who should be under 12 years of age. The first batch of emigrants will sail in a few days ; and another inspection will take place between this and October 15, when 75 young men will be sent from Ireland to. Victoria. The funds for sending out the emigrants were remitted from Australia to the Lord Mayor, as:ohairmanlof the late committee for the relief of Irish distress. STATE OF TRADE. BAIINSEY, Sept. 12.—Trade in the various coal districts of South Yorkshire has been good during the past week, nearly all the coal owners doing more business than they have done for some time. There is no doubt, that this is owing to a disposition on the part of the dealers and others in the metro polis to stock for the winter, but the approaching races at 14ncaster have also had their usual effect ; the railway companies being anxious to convey as much as possible, and the men to increase the ton nage, as not much work is done during the week commencing this day: Gas coal is in fair inquiry, as is also malting coke. The provincial inquiry is good for all descriptions of house coal, and the prices rule the same as those quoted last week. The navigations are carrying a fair quantity, and the inquiry at Keadby, a port on the Trent on the route from this place to Hull, has been remarkably brisk. BenemeNGEtAan 12th.—The trade of this town is quiet ; the fresh orders in during the last ten days have been small, the consequence is that manufac turers, who had few orders on their books before hand have been barely able to keep their work people on at fall time, without making up goods for stock, The retail shopkeepers evince a strong incli nation to buy only sparingly on account of the autumn trade—in fact, the bulk of the orders in of late have been such as to show that they are only to keep stock sufficient for immediate requirements; in the foreign department the samespirit of caution is manifested. The demand for material has fallen off; at the various rolling mills there is not so much activity as existed a month ago, and the jewellers are very indifferently supplied with orders. It is not probable that any improvement will take place on this side of quarterday. The reports as to the state of the iron trade in this locality are anythingbut satisfactory. There has been a general advance of the wages scale, and a rise of 10s. per ton in the price of finished iron ; but it can scarcely be said that there has been such an increased demand as to justify the rise, that proceeding hav ing been almost forced upon the trade by the atti tude of the men. Now, however, some of the lead ing ironmasters are seeking a further advance of 10s. per ton ; and others, the makers of favourite brands, have intimated that they will only take orders subject to the price of next quarter day. BRADFORD, 12th.—There has been a good demand for all classes of wool during the week, with an up ward tendency in prices, upon which the higher quotations for cotton no doubt had some influence. Purchases are made to supply immediate wants, and there is an entire absence of speculation. Con sidering the time of the year, the supply of wool in the,market is not large. There is an advance in the prices of worsted yarns, a circumstance which rather tends to check operations. The export mer chants, who supplied themselves freely when the quotations were lower, arc able to meet the scanty demands upon them from abroad, and are now doing no new business. Spinners, notwithstanding, are busy upon old contracts. There is a goodandhealthy business doing in fabrics. Manufacturers enter into short engagements. The changeable character of quotations renders this course expedient. Some of the home merchants place a few orders. The con tinental merchants buy freely in some sorts, includ ing figured orleans, figured cords, and plain poplins. Some orders for spring as well as fall trade have been placed by American houses, DUNDEE, 12th.—The fetes at the opening of the Baxter-park have engaged attention, almost to the exclusion of business, for the last two days, but to day the Cowgate resumed its wonted appear ' ance, and there was great activity in several 1 departments of the trade. Flax remains quiet in Russia, but the dealers do not geld so much in price as lead to large transactions. Here there is little doing in the article, and while the finer qualities fully maintain their value, the lower marks are decidedly cheaper. Fine tow and codilla keep their price, while common is very unsaleable, and the value nominal. Jute is not abundant in this market, and the tendency here, as in London and Liver pool, is still upward. The consumption is great beyond all precedent, and still extending, and any parcels at all worth the money are quickly bought up. The demand for yarns of all qualities and sizes is remarkably active, and spinners are quite unable to satisfy the wants of the trade. For both the home demand and for shipment buyers are numerous and urgent, and spinners have the entire command of the market, and can dictate their own terms, although to-day they have not asked any further advance, The inquiry for all de scriptions of linens is equally pressing, and pur chasers have the greatest difficulty in placing their orders with the prospect of getting them executed within a reasonable time. This applies to the fabrics made in town and to those of Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar, and Fifeshire, all being equally brisk, and never before was such a season of prosperity seen throughout this district as at present. HALIFAX, 12th.—The condition and prospects of the carpet and worsted trades here continue steady and satisfactory. There is a good seasonable busi ness doing, and the supply can scarcely be said to be in advance of the demand, Of late the wool market has become animated, and has in some measure sympathised with the increased activity in the cotton-market. Prices of wool still creep up, but the advance which has taken place rather checks operations. Yarns, too, are advancing, and spinners are well employed. Most piece goods are rather dearer than they were a month ago, or, at all events, prices of goods have a hardening tendency. HUDDERSFIELD, 12th.—There has been a toler ably good attendance of London, Irish, and other buyers here this week, and in the aggregate their purchases amounted to a considerable bulk. Heavy fancy goods, both trouserings and coatings, well made black doeskins, and other seasonable fabrics manufactured in this district, have sold steadily at fully late prices. The demand has been chiefly by the home-trade houses. The export trade being rather slack, low woollens and unions are not much sought after. Tae local wool trade is cheerful, and prices are firm. LEEDS, 12th.—There has been a good attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls lo.clay. There was also a full average of manufacturers, who offered a fair supply of the most current-going fabrics of the sea son. The tone of the market was cheerful, and a large bulk of good was sold. As for some time past, fancy witneys, pilots, stout meltocs, and other heavy fabrics were in most request; but a fair call was made for tweeds, hairlists, and unions. P r i ces of both goods and wool keep firm, and those of some of the better classes of reusable materials are higher than they were last month. LEICESTER, 12th.—There is further imp rovement in the hosiery trade, Homo and foreign orders are given out freely, and manufacturers are well engaged. Fancy and regular goods are still in re ques t, an d, indeed, business generally is in a very satisfactory state. Yarns are very firm, and there is a fair amount of business doing. Wools are rges ) und are in tolerable request. yelling at late 4d. STAMPED ....fid. Ilaval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. In addition to the works already in pr ogeess f or the enlargement and extension of the dockyard and naval establishment at Chatham,--vi ; ~ th e creation of three large steam basins, covering, in the aggregate, an area of between 70 and 80 acres, and the construction of additional dock, factories, workshops, and other buildings, taking in a space of 300 acre; beyond the existing dockyard, the Lords of the Admiralty have just directed pre liminary arrangements to be made for carrying out other important works. These the members of the Board on their recent visit of inspection deemed to be necessary to what has now become the principal government establishment for the construction of iron vessels of war. In order to facilitate the ma nufacture of ropes and cables suitable for the new class of iron and iron-clad vessels, the rope-making establishment is to be considerably extended, and additional machinery erected for carrying on several portions of the work at present accomplished by manual labour. The existing machinery will be removed from the spinning room, and the building converted into store rooms for the reception of cargoes of itussian and Italian hemp. The upper portion of the block of buildings now used as a hemp-house, will bo enlarged and prepared for the reception of new machines, and also for the spin ning machinery at present in use, so that the whole of the rope-making department in that branch will be consolidated in one establishment. The estimated cost of the proposed alterations in this department of the dockyard, including the erection of the requisite machinery, is about £2,000. Their lord ships have also directed a lino of rails to be laid down along the front of the harbour, at the Anchor wharf, on which will be placed a locomotive steam crane to facilitate the operation of loading and unloading the vessels arriving at the dockyard. This work is now performed exclusie Fly by manual labour at considerable expense, and at the sacrifice of skilled labour which could be more profitably employed. A crane of large dimensions, to lift up to 26 tons, is also to be erected at the Centre wharf, between Nos. 3 and 4 repairing and fitting docks, at an estimated outlay of £l,OOO. Various minor improvements and alterations proposed to be carried into effect at the dockyard have also received the approval of their lordships, including additional buildings and alterations at the smithery and metal mills, and the erection of the necessary buildings for depositing the metal work required in fitting the vessels always in hand. In addition to the improvements intended to be carried out at the ship building and fitting departments of the naval esta blishment at Chatham, a certain sum is to be ex pended at the Royal Marine barracks for affording increased accommodation for the members of that branch of the service, and improving the ventilation of the apartments occupied by the non• commissioned officers and privates. Orders were on Saturday issued for 30 additional joiners to commence working on the iron frigate Achilles this morning, in order to hasten forward the completion of that vessel. In accordance with Admiralty instructions, the screw corvette Clio, 22, 400 horse power, recently paid elf from the Pacific station, is to be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve, taking the place of the Scylla, 21, 400 horse power, preparing for sea. The Fawn, 17, 100 horse power, attached to the Chatham steam reserve, is being prepared for com mission to take the place of the Desperate, 8, 400 horse power, in the West Indies. A. notification has been received at Chatham from the Admiralty announcing that the iron-plated frigate Caledonian, 33, 1,000 horse power, is to be fitted with her engines and machinery while in the Victoria Docks, and not at Sheerness, as had bean originally intended. The portions of her engines, boilers, and machinery now at th e l a tt er d o ckyard are to be forwarded to the Victoria Docks. The screw steamship Gibraltar having had her bottom cleaned and her valves overhauled, was re moved on Friday afternoon from Devonport Dock yard to her moorings in Hamoaze, where the pen nant was hoisted on Saturday afternoon. Capt. Boyd hoisted his pennant on Monday after noon on board the screw steam corvette Pelorus in Hamoaze, Davenport. The paddlewheel steam tender Pigmy, 3, W. H. Vine, master, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday with supernumeraries for the Royal Adelaide and Marine Artillery for the Gibraltar. When the steam store ship Wye was placed in No. 1 dock in Keyham Steamyard, on Thursday, it was found that about half of one of the movable fans of her screw propeller (Griffith'e)iwas broken off in an uneven line parallel to her keel. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Commander Thomas J. Young to the Gibraltar ; Scott I. B. Willcox, the Hon. Henry N. Shore, John Phelips, Francis S. Knowles, Clement Royds, and W. A. Beckles, naval cadets, to the Gibraltar ; Charles J. Barlow, James L. Hammet, and Horace H. Barnard, naval cadete, to the Scylla; Thomas C. Heathcote and Alexander H. Ogilvy, naval cadets, to the Pelorus ; George T. Burn, Arthur C. 0. Boddington, Henry I. Godfrey, Henry C. Litchfield, Francis E. Haigh, and Edgar C. L. Sturt, midshipmen, to the Gibraltar; Frede rick J. Dundee, Wilmot H. Fawkes, and Uodfrey W. N. Eliot, midshipmen, to the Scylla ; John Giles, George C. P. Gray, Thomas B. Lacy, and Philip T. Richards, midshipmen, to the Pelorus ; James W. Ashton, second master, to the Gibraltar ; Arthur C. Wells and John B. Palmer, master's assists., to the Pelorus; Frederick S. Brown and John Thompson, master's-assists., to the Gibraltar ; George V. Moore and William B. P. Thompson, maater's•assists., to the Scylla. THE ARMY. Among the silent and unobtrusive agencies which have effected an incalculable amount of good at Aldershott Camp, must be reckoned the "Dispen sary and Infirmary,' which was established for the treatment of diseases specially prevalent in the army. The institution is supported by voluntary contributions, assisted by a grant of £250 per an num from the War Department. From a recent re port it appears that during the last 12 months ad vice and medicine have been given to 2,068 persons of these 61 have been in-patients, and 2,007 out patients. Of the females admitted, six have been sent to service, EX forwarded to their homes, eight sent to reformatories, and two married. The utility of the institution having been satisfactorily esta blished, it is in contemplation to enlarge the accom modation of the building and extend the benefits of the charity. The regimental returns for the month of August have just been issued at Aldershott, and show the figure of merit of battalions and companies, and the number of marksmen per cent. at target practice at that station during that period to be as follows :- Ist battalion, 3d Regiment—Battalion, 46.68; best company, 54.47 ; marksmen per cent.. 12. 64th Re giment—Battalion, 4436; best company, 4682; marksmen per cent., 15. 76th Regiment —Bat talion, 44.22 ; best company, 47.40 ; marksmen per cent., 25.

The grand ball is ths Guildhall, on Friday night brought the 140th meeting of the Three Choirs to an end. It was a most spirited aifair—everything, including even the impor tant details of the refreshment department, being admirably arranged and carried cut. Worcestershire and the counties immediately contiguous could not have been more hand somely represented. The brilliaxt company began to assem ble about an hour before midnight, and, enlivened by the strains of an efficient orchestra, directed with equal ability and zeal by Mr. Coot% the great majority remained till several hours after--as wholly absorbed in their pursuit as though the only important end of existence was to dance waltzes, polkas, galops, and quadrilles. The music was generally well selected by Mr. Coote ; but the most attrac tive feature of the evening —to judge by the satisfaction with which the themes to each successive figure were im mediately recognised —was a lively and well-constructed quadrille en M. Gounod's univereally-admir e d opera of " Faust," the familiar strains of the military chorus in the fourth act making a striking and pompous climax. The prognostications of the Rev. Mr. Sarjeant, who has reason to be proud of the result of his arduous and unremit ting. exertions, have been fully realised ; for though the do nations to the charity, as far as at present ascertained, are less than in 1860, a considerable surplus of receipts over ex penditure is relied upon. It is believed that at least £3OO (some assert £500) will be added to the fund which enables Worcester to contribute £6O annually to the charity at each of the three festivals. Much disappointment, nevertheless, was felt that, while the " Messiah," on Friday, attracted no fewer than 2,670 persons to the cathedral—upwards of 500 more than at last meeting—£4s less should have been ob tained by the plate-holders. The subjoined table gives t comparison between the collections in 1860 and 1863 : 1860. Tuesday .......... £355 5 61863. £250 0 0 Wednesday .. 229 26 .. 333 11 8 Thursday ..... 255 5 1 • . 240 8 8 Friday Total £1,124 18 4 £1,064 11 8 And yet the total number of persons who attended the fes. tival in 1863 is estimated at 10,598, while inlB6o it was only 8,534—a difference of 2,064. True, the Earl of Coventry on the former occasion contributed £lOO to the charity at the eleventh hour—which with other late donations swelled the amount to £1,314 Bs. 7d.—the largest collection known at any of the meetings ; and should ho feel moved to repeat this act of liberality, and thus atone for his regretted ab sence, and should, moreover, the Earl of Dudley, to whom the festival is said to be indebted for " Israel's Return from Babylon" (which his Lordship did not come to hear, being an absentee during the week), be persuaded to imitate the Earl of Coventry's example, there is no reason why the fund for the widows and orphans should not derive as much advantage from the 110th meeting of the Three Choirs sa from the 137th. The largest attendance should properly be represented by the largest collection, the mosL triumphant success by the most extended liberality. The reaction from the universal excitement caused by the International Exhi bition is at an end ; the harvest has turned out prosperous almost beyond exatupte ; where, then, can be the excuse for anything like shortcoming on such an occasion ? The very look of the cathedral, now almost wholly restored to its pri mitive splendour, would, it might have been thought, act as a fresh stimulus to generosity. Why, the newspaper re porters who came down from London, at the charge of the papers they represent, to give countenance and extended publicity to the festivals, and the excellent objects for which they were instituted, are actually much more substantial supporters than a large majority of those directly coneernea, and who should properly have these excellent objects nearest at heart. Ed: done ! The festivities of the week have been kept up with be coming spirit by some of the most influential inhabitants of Worcester. The Mayor gave his usual breakfast at the Guildhall, at which the Due d'Aumale and an enormous company "assisted ;" the Dean kept open house to a large number of privileged visitors every day; and the Bishop attended most of the performances in the Cathedral. Of these performances and of the evening concerts enough has been written, both generally and in detail. There remains, then, but to acknowledge the extreme courtesy and obliging politeness of the Rev. Mr. Sarjeant, who at these meetings, busy as he inevitably must be, finds both time and inclina tion, amid his very onerous and responsible duties, to at tend to everybody and everything. Meanwhile most of the principal solo singers and members of the instrumental orchestra are already on their way to Norwich, where Mr. Benedict is doubtless looking out for them with what Herr Richard Wagner, if he wrote English, would designate as " anxious polyscopity." Raising of the SunkenlSteamer Baron Osy s in the River. - Early on Saturday morning active operations were com menced for raising the Baron Osy, Antwerp steamer, which more than a week since sunk in the upper part of Limehouse Reach while on her passage np the river to St. Katherine's Wharf, as already detailed in this journal. Several chains had p rev iously been passed under her bottom, and in order to assist the lifting power, and to add to their buoyancy, it was arranged to pump out the after compartment, and to re duce the water in the fore-hold. Two powerful pumps, worked by steam, were arranged on deck on the water sub siding. Other efficient pumps were also brought into re quisition and fixed in readiness to commence immediate operations when directed. At low water the Thames Con servancy and other lighters were "pinned" down to the chains alongsiie the steamer, and warps were laid out to the south shore so as to haul her in gradually when. she lifted. The contractors for performing the work were Messrs. Wood and West, who have had considerable experience in raising ships and wrecks in the river. On the flood tido beginning to make, the steam and other pumps were put to work, and they soon began to reduce the water; but as the fracture in the ship's bottom was almost amidships, and had evidently extended to the forehold, the process of lessening the depth of water in that part of the vessel was rather slow work. Thepumps, however, gained upon the leak, and as the flood came up the steamer yielded to the power which was brought to bear upon her, and gradually began to lift. The great quantity of mud which had accumulated in her hold had added much to her weight, and great vigilance had to be used in watch• ing the chain, so as to avoid any undue pressure,. and the large steamers which were now sad then pass'ing up and. down the river were directed to ease their speed as they passed by. As the time advanced the ship was fairly off the bed of the river, and hanging on the chains, • All went on satisfactorily, and when it was high wider the Baron. Osy was got into the south shore clear of the navigation of the river, and allowed to settle down on the bed of mud off the timber wharf at Rotherhitho. On the tide turning the water gradually left her, and measures will at once be taken. to patch up the rent in her bottom, when she will be bullied into dry dock to undergo repair. There is some cargo still in her, although of what value now remains to he secs. Several Customhouse officers were put on bozrra. 'to protect the revenue. The Thames police and ha•rbour master's boat were in attendance and rendered aid. - - Full benefit of reduced duty obtr.ined by pur chasing Hornimau's pure Tea; very cho'ice at 3s. 4d. arty 4s.

The draught of the 70th Regiment under orders to proceed from the camp at Colchester to New Zealand, and consisting of one lieutenant, one en sign, and 119 rank and file, is expected to take its departure to-day. The draught is to embark on the 15th inst. on board the Chariot of Fame, and Stbfi- Surgeon Bawtree of the 4th Depot Battalion, will accompany the troops. Capt. Torrens and 26 rank and file of the 66th left the camp on Friday en route for Madras.
