MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, Business in the Discount Market has been some what impeded by the uncertainty felt regarding tho policy the Bank of England directors may pursue at their meeting to-day. The general im pression seems to be that no immediate change will be made, in the meanwhile a certain degree of reserve is manifested, and the rates are almost nominal. A further sum of £48,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The biddings for £300,000 in balls on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta £160,000, to Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £20,000. The minimum price declared was, as before, ls. 111 d. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to £3,170,000. Tenders un Calcutta, at 1.11 d., will receive about 30 per cent.; on Bonn. bay, at 25., about 6 per cent.; on Madras, at ls. 114 d., about 93 per cent.; and all above these prices in full. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great Western 1863. 1862.

Gor don in the chair—an ad interim dividend of /a 15s. per stare, or at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum was declared payable on the 2d November next. Dulness is still the principal feature of the mar• ket for the English Funds, foreign stocks and new schemes engaging almost the exclusive attention of the investing classes.

MARLBORC,CGH-STREET. THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARKS.—Mr. Rogers, one of the officers of St. George's parish, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning, and stated in reference to the above subject that he had, ou the part of St. George's parish, been in communication with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the Commissioners of Police, and ascertained that a correspondence had been going on between them, the Commissioners of Police being aware of the alarming extent of the nuisance, and that steps were about being taken for the purpose of suppressing the evil. Mr. Knox said he was very glad to hear it, for the evil required suppression, for the sake, not only of the poor creatures—two of whom were before him the previous day and than whose appearance nothing could be more de plorable—but for the protection of the public. The number admitted to the infirmary of St. Georg 's Workhouse has been rather understated—the number altogether being 47—one female stating that she had not left the park for five weeks I living there night and day. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—PERMITTING BAD CHARACTERS TO ASSEMBLE IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.— Mr George Axtell, of the Horse and Groom, Castle-street, Leicester-square, appeared to answer the complaint of the police of permitting bad characters—(to wit, thieves and prostitutes)—knowingly to asr,emble in his house, contrary to his license. Gordon, 323 A, proved visiting the defendant's house and seeing eleven girls he knew as prostitutes, and five young men about 18 years of age, two of whom he knew to have been convicted of felony, and two to be always in company of the little prostitutes frequenting Leicester.square. lie (Gordon) spoke to the defendant, asking him to turn the persons out, but he said they were doing no harm, and de clined to do so. Defendant said he had only had the house three months, and did not know what sort of characters the persons were. Mr. Knox said that the officer informed the defendant what sort of characters he had in his place, and then he said they were doing no harm. Mr. Knox fined the defendant 405., and advised him to be cautious for the future, as the police would very properly be on the alert. The defendant paid the fine. THAMES. J J VENILE D ELINQU EN ult.—Ed ward King, a well-dressed and intelligent boy 14 years of age, was brought up on re mand before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a half sovereign. Mr. R. Tindal Terry, the uncle of the boy, and dwelling at No. 12, Arbour-square, Stepney, said the prisoner had frequently plundered his father, and a few days since he stole a half-sovereign, which he said he had taken from his father's bed. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had been in custody a week, and ho hoped he was a better boy. He asked him if he would promise to behave better in future if he discharged him. The boy—Yes, sir, I will. Mr Terry thought the boy was quite incorrigible, and said he had robbed his father four times. The father, who was a cripple, had been knocked down in the streets, and had £6O a year to live upon ; but he had better pay half of that money to keep the boy in a reformatory than have him at home. Mt. Partridge declined to send the boy to a reformatory. and said if he was brought before him again on a similar charge he would do so, and order the whole of the expenses of his maintenance to be defrayed by the father.

Bd. per 81b; but inferior qualities of veal were a dull sale, at Monday's currencies. rigs and milch cows were very dull, and rather drooping. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

By the death of Marshal Count d'Ornano the number of marshals of France is reduced to ten, of whom six served in an infßrior rank under the first Napoleon. The ten marshals now existing were created by the present Emperor. One of them is Minister of War, another Minister of the Emperor's household, six hold important commands, one is placed at the head of the Imperial Guard, and Mar shal Forey, the last promoted, is expected shortly in France from Mexico. General Cunt Schramm, now Lieutenant-Gene ral, was promoted to the rank of General of Brigade by the first Napoleon. He is the last of his generals with the exception of Count de Lagrange and the Duke de Fezensac. Among the Generals of Division in active service there exist none promoted to that rank by the Go vernment of the Restoration, and but two—the Mar quis d'Hautpoul, grand referendary of the Senate, and General Count Schramm—appointed by the Government of Louis Philippe. The other Generals of Division and of Brigade were all promoted by the present Emperor. Among the Generals on the list of the reserve are three Generals of Division—Count Lagrange, the Duke de Fezenzac, and the Duke de Mortemart— appointed by the Government of the Restoration, and 20 by the Government of July. Among the Generals of Brigade of the second sec- tion of the Staff there are five appointed by the Go vernment of the Restoration, and 64 by the Govern ment of Louis Philippe. All the others were promoted by Napoleon 111. Nine Generals of Division, having acted as Com manders-in-Chief, are maintained until their death in the fi rst section of the reserve by the law of the 4th of A ugust, 1839. They are the Count de Schraam, the Marquis d'Hantpoul, Guesviiler, Charon, Herbillon, Camou, Thiry, Dalesmes, and the Count de Palikao. Of these nine generals six are senators. A very praiseworthy attempt is now being made to establish a Court Milliner's and Dress-making Company, without the aid of charitable contributions. It i 3 proposed to construct a suitable building, engage the highest talent in the management of the business, and to give adequate wages and good apartments to the workers, in addition to which an appropriate library is to be fitted up, and every inducement held out to those employed to cultivate a taste for home recreation and domestic enjoy ment. The Countess of Errol, Lady Alfred Churchill, and a number of the Oats monde have given in their names as members of the honorary committee, and from present ap pearances there is every reason to believe the greatest suc cess will attend the experiment._ _ Full benefit of reduced duty obtained by pur chasing liorniman's pure Tea; very choice at 3s. 4d. and 4s.

Chapman and Hall. As charming a story as any yet penned by An thony Trollope, " Rachel Ray" is, after all, nothing more pretentious than a faithful delineation of life as it actually is in an English country town and its suburbs. Tile work as a work of art is wholly unambitious, but it is, from first to last, we cannot help repeating it, charming. It is like one of those masterly little sketches by a great artist dashed down with a few apparently careless and unstudied touches of coloured crayons upon a rough-grained neutral-tinted drawing-board—sketches so glowing into life and beauty under the rapid hand of the artist, that they even win from us a more instant and cordial admiration for the consummate elsili with which they have been wrought than that same artist's more elaborate compositions, in more endur ing materials, in oil, or in water colours, or as in the instance of Maclise's later masterpieces in that wonderful medium—that mediumof perennial fresh ness and beauty —water-glass. As it appears to us, Mr. Anthony Trollope, so to speak, has worked (with how facile and untiring a pencil !) in each end all of these materials. He has so worked, in mediums of such diversity and with such a ready adaptation of his powers to the re quirements of each, that he has already become one of the most voluminous as well as one of the most popular novelists of his day. There are characters, moreover, which he has conjured up into imagi nary existence that may take their place, side by side, with the happiest creations of the most rarely gifted among his contemporaries. The Archdeacon Granticy of Anthony Trollope may be ranked un hesitatingly, as a kindly and humorous creation of this exceptionaljkind, even with the Mrs. Poyser of Mary Anne Evans and the Colonel Newcome of W. M. Thackeray—with the Captain Cuttle of Charles Dickens, and Olr Bulwer Lytton's eieeale shanked and red-unabrella'd Riccabocca. " Bar cheater Towers," " Dr. Thorne," and the earlier volume of ' The Warden"—the last-mentioned being the book that first riveted public attention upon the genius of Anthony Trollope, to the instant recognition of its delightful freshness and originality —those three purely clerical stories may be re ferred to here as comprising within them the first epoch of our writer's career as a novelist. An inter mediate period there has elapsed since then, in which various highly entertaining but, as it seemed to us while reading them, far more carelessly written narratives, narratives, for the most part, of a manifestly ephemeral character, were scrawled off with wonderful rapidity—about the best of these, to our thinking, being our author's romance of " Castle Richmond." Afterwards have appeared in various forms, now as a serial tale in monthly parts, now as a periodical contribution to one of the popular magazines, now as a separate and com plete publication, works of a far more highly elabo rated character, brilliant fictions such as " Orley Farm," and " Framley Parsonage." In " Rachel Ray " we have no such ingenious complication of plot, or subtle analysis of character as are recog nisable in those kbri majores of Anthony Trollope. The novel, for one thing, is of lesser dimensions, The plot of it, for another, is the simplest well imaginable. Incidents of a momentous character there are none. Throughout the whole of the two volumes, it is nothing less than refreshing, in these days of sensational writing, to find not one solitary mystery. The scene is laid entirely in Devonshire. Principally in the little county town of Baslehurst. The course of the events related in the narrative, only once, for a very brief interval, taking us in one brief chapter of the second volume 40 miles by railway from the imme diate neighbourhood of the little town of Baslehurst —namely to the city of Exeter, the capital of De vonshire. Otherwise, from the opening of the tale to the close of it, we loiter about the streets or in the houses of Baslehurst—sauatering now into the village of Cawston, in quest of the simple-hearted Rector, old Mr. Comfort—driving with Butler Corn bury (before the close of the story M.P. for Basle hurst) along the beautiful highway leading to Corn. bury Grange, the old Squire's residence—and becoming more and more pleasantly familiar with every nook and corner of the pretty little cottage at Bragg's End, in which resides the heroine of the fiction, sweet, charming Rachel Ray : together with her widowed mother, Mrs. Ray (far more simple hearted even than herfavouriteclergyman, Mr. Com fort)—and besides Rachel's widowed mother, her widowed sister, Mrs. Prime, gr mly, acidly, cynically evangelical. The homely, natural,lifelike, delicately pencilled portraits of the wcmen here cluster ing together in Baslehurst, are among the happiest of Mr. 'l'rollope's delineations. There is a touch of the immortal Mrs. Poyser, already mentioned above, in the little incidental outline of Mrs. Sturt, the farmer's dame, on the opposite side of the green, at Bragg's End, to the Ray's Cottage. Mrs. Sturt relieving her sympathetic heart while mourning over Rich el's temporary estrangement from her lover, Luke Rowan, vith such old Devon shire rhymes as—" It's pas s ing sweet when two hearts meet. Bat it breaks the heart when true hearts part." The Tappitt's, too, are capitally drawn— not only the coarse, bluff, hard-headed, not to say pig-headed, old bully of a father, Mr. Tappitt, brewer, of Baslehurst, as actirg partner or repre sentative of the firm of Bungall and Tappitt, but his " womankind" as well. Mrs. Tappitt, that most bungling of match -making, or any rate to that end manoeuvring mammas—who, in her florid and roundabout person is a sort of casual justifica tion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's horrid portrait of the English dowager. And, with Mrs. Tappitt, the mamma, the three Miss Tappitts her daughters —Martha, the staidest, and eldest, who is all for justice and common sense, Augusta, who having vainly set her cap at Luke, becomes scornful, not to say spiteful in temperament for ever afterwards, as the consequen ce cf her failure in that same laudable effort, and the best of the bunch, the flower of the flock, cheery Cherie- Tappitt, the truest friend amongst them all, that is amongst the Tape Pitt family, to Rachel Ray. Tor charming, little, innocent, tender love scenes, we know nothing prettier, in that way, than can le found in this same homely tale of the loves of Rachel Ray and Luke R owan . Instance the sunset scene under the elms near the stile of the old churchyard at Baslehurst ! Or that other scene upon the landing of the brewery house in the midst of the Bail, whither dur unso phisticated heroine Rachel has been chaperoned by charming Mrs. Butler Cornbury of the Grange, nie Patty Comfort. Or the parlour scene i n th e cottage at Bragg's End when Rich el nods (with a very little nod indeed) her accenauce of Luke as her betrothed. Or after the lenethened and heart wearying estrangement of the lovers, their final meeting in Mrs. Sturt's back Pulour at the farm house on the opposite side of the green : that dear little delightful back parlour, looking out upon the farm kitchen-garden with its ro ws and cabbages. The ball at the brewery-house, ,he contention be tween Tappitt and R o wan abut the brewery business, and the stormy Election for the borough, when the Jew tailor, Mr. Hart, from ever so many houses i n Shoreditch, and ever so many other houses in Regent-street, is defeated by a majority of on e b y the you ng squ i re Butler Cornbury, w h o has taken Betty C om f ort to wife, and is now m y_ for Baslehurst ! There are among the most important incidents or occ urrences of any note, here recorded in this Elibiy written and alluring little narrative. As among th e f ew more passages in the t wo vo l umes, serious and thoughtful we are tempted here to ssanscribefrom th e pages of electioneeing part of th e Rachel Ray, from the story of course, the following NOBLE DEFINITION OP A I ADICAL. A radical is not necessarily a revolutonist or even a re publican. lle does not, by reason of hs social or political radicalism, desire the ruin of thrones, the degradation of nobles, the spoliation of the rich, or e•en the downfall of the bench of bishops. Many a young man is frightened away from the just conclusion s of his nind and the strong convictions of his heart by dread of )oing classed with those who are jealous of the favoured ones of fortune. A radical may be as ready as any aristocrat to support the crown with his blooc., and the church with his faith. It is in this that he, is a radical ; th.At he desires, expects, works for, ant believes in, the gradual progress of the people. No doc;rine of equality is his. Liberty he must have, and such pceition, high or low, for himself and o th ers , ti o each man's ilicividual merits will achieve for him. The doctrine of out ward equality he eschews as a barrier to all ambition, and to all improvement. The idea is as mean as the thing is impracticable. But within,—is it in his soul or in. his heart ?—within his breast there is a manhood that will own no inferiority to the man hood of another. He retires to a corner that an earl with his suit may pass proudly through the doorway, and he grudges the earl nothing of his pride. It is the earl's right. But ho also has his right ; and neither queen, nor earl, nor people shall invade it, That is the creed of a radical. Connected also with the electioneering part of the work is the subjoined most humourous picture, from-the -life, of the— HORRORS OF A PUBLIC DINNER AT AN INN. A horrid mess concocted of old gravy, catsup, and bad wine was distributed under the name of soup. Then there came upon the table half a huge hake,—the very worst fish that swims, a fish with which Devonshire is peculiarly in vested. Some hard dark brown mysterious balls were handed round, which on being opened with a knife were found to contain sausage-meat, very greasy and by no means cooked through. Even the dura ilia of the liberal electors of Baslehurst declined to make acquaintance with these dainties. After that came the dinner, consisting of a piece of roast beef very raw, and a leg of parboiled mutton, absolutely blue in its state of rawness. When the gory mess was seen which displayed itself on the first incision made into these lumps of meat, the vice-president and one or two of his friends spoke out aloud. That hard and greasy sausage meat might have been all right for any thing they knew to the contrary, and the soup they had swallowed without complaint. But they did know what should be the state of a joint of meat when brought to the table, and therefore they spoke out in their anger. Tappit himself said nothing that was intended to be carried beyond the waiter, seeing that beer from his own brewery was consumed in the tap of the Dragon; but the vice-president was a hardware dealer with whom the Dragon had but small connection of trade, and he sent terrible messages down to the landlady, threatening her with the Blue Boar, the Mitre, and even with that nasty little pot-house the Chequers. " What is it they ex pects for their three-and-sixpence ?" said the landlady, in her wrath; for it must be understood that Sharpit knew well that he was dealing with one who understood the value o f money, and that he did not feel quite sure of passing the dinner in Mr. Hart's bill. Then came a pie with crust an inch thick, which nobody could eat, and a cabinet pudding, so adieu, cull of lumps of suet. I venture to assert that each liberal elector there wow(' bo.dinner at home, an d would have been served with greater comfort ; but a public dinner at an inn is the recognised relaxation of a middle-class Englishman in the provinces. Did he not attend such banquets his neighbours would conceive him to be constrained by domestic tyranny. Others go to them, and therefore he goes also. He is bored frightfully by every speec h to which he listens. He is driven to the lowest depths of dismay by every speech which he is called upon to make. He is thoroughly disgusted when he is called on to ma ke no speech. H e h as no po i nt of sympathy with the neighbours between whom he sits. The wine is bad. The hot water is brought to him cold. His seat is hard and crowded. No attena?t is made at the pleasures of conversa tion. Ho is continually called upon to stand up that he ma y pretend to drink a toast in honour of some person or institution for which he cares nothing; for the hero of the eveu i n g, as to whom he is probably indifferent ; for the church, which, perhaps, he never enters; the army, w hi c h he regards as a hotbed of arist)cratic in solence; or for the Queen whom he reveres and loves by reason of his nature as an Englishman, but against whose fulsome praises as repeated to him ad nauseam in the h s speech his very soul unconsciously revolts. It i c sa a l i r a a h n' ore, trouble, ennui, nastiness, and discomfort. But yet he goes again and again, —because it is the relaxation natural to an Englishman. There is something gravely farcical in Mr. Anthony Trollope's description of that exceedingly low h parson—low en eug h to reac h t h e l eve l o f i s u s r e c nt.....sleek, w or i dly-prudent, short, unctuous Mr. Prong . O f a less obtru s i ve ki n d, M r . Prong is gems Chadband. T he almost, so to speak, church of the ecclesiastical love scenes between Mr. Prong and Mrs. Prime during the anxious period for both of their tem porary betrothal (for their wooing never ccn ies to anything, but is before long "off" altogether), these highly religious and "proper love s cenes between Mr. Prong and and Mrs. Prime, afford the funniest, oddest contrast well conceiva ble, to the charming l ove scenes a l rea dy re f e rred to, as bringin g together, sometimes very close l y together, Luke and Rachel in the ball room, in the farm parlo ur , or near the churchyard stile. Mr. Prong and Mrs. Prime being even at their happiest moments about as " snug" in their wooing, as Lord Dundreary and his enamorata, when seated at a &stance from each other of several arm's lengths in the mem orable dairy scene on the gree n sward , . The masterful character of the young hero of th e tale is admirably well pourtrayed. His gay, impulsive self-confidence hovering at times on the very verge of conceit, never once becomes distasteful. His contention with old Tappitt, driving the latter at moments though it does into a state of almost frantic irritation, never once leads him on to the ruilLng o f hi s own temper. The only th:ng the reader is at all disposed to quarrel with him about is the hardness, so to say, of his stubborn silence to poor Rachel during th e 1 for her, most p a i nful interval of tedious, and , their estrangement. As such a charming love tale should, all ends happily with Rachel Ray and her surroundings. We close the book thankful to the hand that has written it for the sweet homely pictures of every day life, here so wiry graphically and delightfully delineated. Descent of the Giant Balloon.

The following epitome of the services of the above young officers of her Majesty's ship Euraylns, 35 guns, and flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Kuper, C. 8., who lost their lives at Kayosima, Japan, may be interesting : Capt. John James Stephen Joslin Was on l y 3 7 years of axe, and entered the navy over 23 years ago, 19 years and 9 months of which had been employed in active sea services He was acting lieutenant of the S2out, 11, Com. toring, in the East Indies, i n 1847 ; and senior of the 'Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., in the Pacific, from July 1850, to the spring of 1854, when he joined the Eurydice, 26, Cap. tain Ommanney, in the White Sea, and re mained in her until promoted to commander, Nov. 2, 1854. As commander he served in the James Watt, 91, et Devon port, from May, 1856, until June, 1857 ; in the Princess Royal, 91, in the Mediter ranean, from Feb., 1858, until Dec., 1859, when he joined the Queen, 86, and again served on the same station until advanced to the post rank, Jan. 31, 1861. He was appointed to the Euryalus, 35, screw frigate, hag-ship of Rear-Admiral Augustus L. Kuper, C. 8., Feb. 10, 1862, Commander Edward Wilmot was only 30 years of age, and since he entered the navy, in 1845, had em ployed the whole of his time at sea. He was mate of the Prince Regent, 90, employed on particular ser vice, from June, 1852, until the spring of 1853, when he was appointed to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, and remained in her until September follow ing, when his captain, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., obtained flag rank. He was advanced to the rank of lieutenant, Sept. 26, 1853, and after a few months' employment in the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth, joined the Royal Albert, 121, June 24, 1854, and was employed in the Medi terranean until Aug., 1858.

As commander he served in the Agamemnon, 89, on the North American and West India stations from Jan., 1862, until paid off in October following; and his appointment to the Euryalus was on Jan. 29 of the present year. Causes of the late Earthquake. To our minds the inferences to be drawn are 1. That every earthquake is not absolutely the same in its development. 2. That an earthquake is in variably the result of an equalisation of force from some central portion of the earth, where such force has accumulated, to the surrounding parts. 3. That the force may in some cases take the form of elec tricity, and that the shock felt may be, in truth, a subterranean electrical storm causing no neces sary disruption of the earth's surface, but instanta neous and widely radiated shock or vibration. 4. That the force may be developed in the form of heat as well as electricity, giving rise, in the central point, to volcanic explosion and disruption of the earth, with vibration communicated to surrounding districts. 5. That earthquakes which are due to accumulation of heat, from suppression, may occur without any special antecedent atmo spheric phenomena. That earthquakes due to elec trical discharge may, as Dr. Stukeley explained, be preceded by special atmospheric variations indicat ing disturbance between the electrical forces of the earth and of the watery vapour above; and may end in a discharge from the earth, upon its coming in contact with clouds negatively electrical, followed by a vibration instantaneously felt through a large tract of the earth's surface, but not of necessity pro ducing either breakage, volcano, or geyser. The earthquake of Monday was probably of this last-named character.—Social Science _Review. FREE NEGRO " GENTS" AT SIERRA LEONE.— "It is a political as well as a social mistake to per mit these men to dine in the main cabin, which they will end by monopolizing: a ruling race cannot be too particular about these small matters. The white man's position is rendered far more precarious on the coast than it might be, if the black man were always kept in his proper place. A European without stockings or waistcoat, and with ragged slops hanging about his limbs, would not be admitted into the cuddy ; an African will. Many of the fellows come on board to make money by picking a quarrel. And what does one think of a dusky belle, after dropping her napkin at Govern ment House, saying to her neighbour, 'Please, Mr. Officer man, pick up my towel,' or of such a dialogue as this. The steward has neglected to supply soup to some negro. who at every meal has edged himself higher up towards the top of the table, and whose conversation consists of whispering into the ears of an adjacent negro, and of hyssna-like guf faws. ' I say, daddee, I want any soop; all de passenger, he drink 'im soop; me no drink my soop : what he mean, dis palaver ?'—The words are uttered in a kind of scream ; the steward cannot help smiling, and the nigger resumes : 'Ah, you laff I And for why you laff? I no laff; no drinkee soop I' Here the dialogue ends, and the ladies look their acknowledgments that travelling does throw us into strange society." THE DELIGHTS OF WORD HUNTING.—There are few more instructive occupations than dictionary making; and Dr Lowden did his work honestly. None of his neighbours in scarlet and top-boots hunted a fox with a more keen relish for the sport than this crippled old man chased the words up and down, out of ono book and through another. When they broke cover from the mother tongue, he worried them out of one language into another, never suffering himself or Ralph to rest until he had run ion them d to earth in their original roots.

DESTRUCTIVE DROUGHT.—A Smyrna letter of th e 6th has the subjoined intelligence :—The de structive drought, which has done so much harm to all our crops, still continues, and in many parts of the town there pos i t i ve water-famine. The figs have suffered gr ea tl y from a romthis cause, and the season's crop will in conseq uence be far below the average both in quality and quantity. The cotton crop will suffer to an equal or perhaps greater extent. The continued activity of the brigands has induced our Governor-General to make a vigorous move amongst his subordinates in the interior towards suppressing the evil. With this view, he has addressed to the mudirs and other local chiefs stringent orders to use their most strenuous endeavours to arrest every armed vagabond who cannot g i ve a satisfactory account of himself, and to send him down to Smyrna for examination. The province has for months been in a state which is a positive disgrace to all government—notwithstanding the honest and energetic efforts of Ahmet Pasha, within the immediate neighbour hood of Smyrna, to put down the evil. The light-house administration. is fast completing its service of lights fur these waters. and will, it is expected, have the line of this bay, and hence round the strait of Mytoline, fully function idg in the course of next week. The service will be a great boon for our own immediate navigation, the accidents to which from the want of such beacons, especially near the castle and on the liermus bank, have of late years became numerous and costly, if not fatal, in proportion to our ex tending trade."
