Y oung Lsdies are not the only persons who have wished to pry into the mysterious volume of the future, for Alexander hinged his enthu !dam on similar circumstances. It may be innocent enough to amuse ourselves with the prospect of reaping a golden harvest from dreams of hope ; but in these days of practical affairs, and business in earnest, every one has a right to expect " Value for Value." The matter of fact realities of One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-Three are possibly the best interpreters of the events of 1854, for we may all take the credit to ourselves of being able to tell what 'we already know; and the fortunes of the future may be very well Calculated by the successes of the past, and it is even possible that cur expectations may be surpassed in the onward progress of bust- Bess, that the bright prospects of the future be rendered more satis factory in reality, than they were in the representations of imagina tion. It is one of the most amiable features of the human race, that every individual Lady, Gentleman, or Child should possess an am bition to excite an influence in the circle higher than that in which • they move and, it is Dress in Style, Neatness and Excellence,which terms the primary chain to this social elevation. Taking steps which no other tradesman ever ventured to ascend, and holding a position on an eminence which none but themselves could occupy, E. oSES AND SON have the greatest pleasure in in viting their friends and the public to "pry into the future," and to Campers the advantages of the past, with the certainties of what mast follow ; they have long supported the title universally bestowed en them of being the largest Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and Outfitters in the World, they have extended the benefits of new styles and artistic designs to all Cl asses, with the precision employed on the manufacture of attire for the peer, they have prepared suitable dress for the artisan, labotrer, and emigrant. The progress of refinement, the improve- Mews of manufacture, the revelations of science, and the influence of capital, they have exercised to the fullest extent in rendering their productions the most novel, the most comfortable, the most fashionable, and the cheapest which can be obtained. The business ofE. MOSES AND SON has the speed of the railway, with none of its accidents--the correctness of art, without any of its Im Perfections—the regularity of time, but free from its obliterations -the universality of light, but never subject to a periodical eclipse -- and well has the public repaid the diligence, skill, and assiduity ' W hich has been displayed by E. MOSES AND Sow, by unprecedented Paironage of the City and West-end E s t a bli s h men t s , an d th e i r branches at Sheffield and Bradford in Yorkshire. Per E. Moses AND Sow to say thethank their patrons and the Public, would be a very inefficient way of dismissing the favours they h have to acknowledge, they cherish an indissoluble remembrance of the unnumbered instances of public approba ion, expressed both ,1,1 fav our of thei r sys t em o f B us i ness, and of the articles they have "ad the pleasure of p resent i ng to all classes during the past year, and they are determined to give a most Businesslike expression to their Crateful recognition of these favours by providing every thing in the several departments of their gigantic business, infin tely better and Cheaper than it is possible for others to do. Entering on another Year und er circumstanc es so encourag i ng, E. Moses AND SON have briefly to state fin , that Ladies will d the most vari e d an d magn i f i cent assortment of Dress at thei r E stablishment ; and Hosiery Goods for Ladies, Gen tlemen, and Children, distinguished by unparalleled novelty, elegance, Utility, tied cheapness. The Nobleman, Man of Business, or Mechanic, will still be pro- Sided with the most fashionable, moat seasonable, and the cheapest Attire, eith er R eady-made or to Order, Merchants, Shipper=, Captains, Emigrants, or Sailors, will con tinue to derive the highest advantages from transactions at the Es tablishment of E. Moses and Sow; the former, from the vastness, Suitability, and cheapness of the Wholesale Stock, and the latter from the completeness of their Outfitting Business, which applies to, every service Military or Naval—to every profession and occupation to all the necessities of any voyage, and to every exigency of a (rein elbeate. The moat stupendous success in London and the provinces is not the only record which E. Moses and Sots have to make of the past year. A new world having been created for commercial enterprise by Australian gold discoveries, E. MOSES an d SUN have identified their business with our antipodes, by opening a magnificent store in Melbourne—this is another auxiliary to their gigantic trade, and puts them in constant communication with that colony—(to which, as 'well as other parts) they have outfitted incredible numbers, and are silly prepared to outfit thousands more with far greater advantages n the quality, suitability, and cheapness of the goods. In conclusion, the wide world's population will possess still further facilities of being furnished with the best, most artistic, most fashion able, most comfortable, and the cheapest good s , at the establtshment of E.

JAMES NORTLIC OTT, Secretary to the London Board. ( From the Times.) THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The Financial Quarter just come to an end is the first which exhibits, without any considerable drawback, the full effect of the recent remissions of taxes. As those remissions were estimated alto gether at more than two millions, a quarter of that sum might reasonably be assigned to last Quarter. The actual result, however, is of a more promising character. In the Quarter's Customs, as compared with those of the Quarter ending January 5, 1853, the decrease is not more than 95,8001., though the taxes on tea, sugar, and several hundred less important articles have been meanwhile reduced. The Quarter's Excise, notwithstanding the aboli tion of the duty on soap, the loss of which fell very largely on the winter quarter, shows a decrease of not more than 113,9701. The very liberal altera tions of the Stamp Duties, and the very tedious system of replacement provided by the Succession Duties, prepared the public for a greater decrease on this head than what has actually occurred, viz., 75,1011. In Assessed Taxes again there have been extensive remissions, and the decrease is only 17,183/. In the Property Tax there is a de crease of 53,530/. In the Post-office it is gratify ing to find an increase of 63,000/. The total ordinary revenue exhibits a net decrease of 299,297/. ; which, on taking into account imprest and other moneys, and the repayment of ad vances, is reduced to 293,0511. As there are politicians who, when it suits them, can think it quite possible to remit very productive taxes, without leaving a void in the revenue, we are quite prepared to find this insignificant decrease hailed as an opportune reverse. The an swer is, that it is considerably less than was anti cipated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the proposition of his budget, and this at a time when the immediate prospect of war, a bad harvest, and a system of obstinate and wrong-headed " strikes " have operated most injuriously on the enterprise, enjoyment, and expenditure of the people. As the return for the twelvemonth just ended comprehends three other Quarters, either previous to the recent reductions, or before they had come into full play, it exhibits an increase under most heads; on Customs, 282,8411. ; on Excise, 272,122/. ; and on Stamps, 213,7271. In Assessed Taxes, which have lately been affected many ways, there is a decrease of 223,9751. ; and in the Property Tax an increase of 50,559/. In the total ordinary re venue of the whole year the increase is 702,8081., which, by taking into account the very large in crease in the imprest and other moneys and repayment of advances, becomes a total increase of 1,315,925/. That this annual increase is likely to be sustained, or can be sustained, so long as the comparison of year with year is disturbed by large financial sacrifices, is more than it would be reasonable to expect; but no one can doubt, from the table before us, that the public finances, dependent as they are on the prosperity of the country, are in a very buoyant state. It is impossible to forget at this juncture that the very great fact before us, an increase of nearly a million and a-h a lf on th e year's revenue, may possibly be the last of its kind for many years, and that the year 1854 may be unfortunately remark able in the annals of finance as the end of a long peace, marked by continual reductions of taxes and increasing prosperity. Should the ambition and obstinacy of Russia drag us into a war, that war must be carried on with the whole might of this e mpire, and it will be necessary at once to provide for our increased expenditure by new taxes, or an increase of those now existing. It is true that we are better prepared than we ever were before, and that we should not go to work in the same waste ful manner we did in the last war ; but fleets and armies cannot be provided without money, and it will be the best economy, iu the long run, to put forth our strength on the outset, and, if possible, bring the contest . to a speedy and honourable close. Be the struggle short or long, it will inevitably throw back our finances, and prevent us from con gratulatino, our readers, as we have done quarter after quarter and year after year, upon the still flourishing state of our revenue, in spite of the continual closing of its sources. Should the cause of public justice, however, and of national honour compel the sacrifice, it will he made cheerfully, and no true British heart will repine for a moment at our exchanging an overflowi ng exc h eque r for em lbarrassment and debt. We boast to be the bul wark of liberty in the world, an d we a l so regar d with not less c omplacency th e fact that we are the richest of nations. That boast must be maintained and justified by means of those riches which it would ill become us to grudge in such a cause. Let it be known that su c h is our resolution, W and it will have due weight in the vast, servile, poverty stricken region that threatens the liberties of Europe by mere force of numbers and barbarism. ( From the Miming Herald. ) From the boastful tone of the Ministerial jour nals during the last two or three days, we were led to expect a very different report of the Quarter's Revenue from that wh ich We have now to present We certainly to our readers. understood, from certain semi-official predictions, that we were to find nothing but an u nbro ken Belies of financial triumphs and succ esses. The f act, h owever, turns out far differently. With the single exception of the Post-office, every de p art ment of the State re ports a diminution in its receipts ; and we have no doubt that if the ca use of that si ng l e e xc e ption were to be inquired into, it would prove to be postp oneme nt of some merely a a real advance of the actual Post -office revenues. For the rest, the falling off is as follows : On the Customs -- ••• ... £ 96,806 . „ Excise ••• ••• ... 113,970 If Stamps '•• ••' ' . ... 75,101 ~ Taxes ••• ••• ... 17,183 ~ Property Tax ••• ... 53,350 ~ Miscellaneous • ... 5,887 Odin . £362,297 Increase on Post-offices ... ... 63,000 Net decrease £299,297 This startling view of our finances e xac tly con firms the statement we made Only two or three days since, that the spring and summer of th e pas t year had been periods of unusual enterprise and specu lation, making all things appear prosperous, aid naturally replenishing the Treasury ; but that we had now entered on a period of c o ll apse , w hi c h, whether peace or war occurred, would greatly di minish the Chancellor of the Exchequer's resources for the year now opening.

But is any one so weak as to imagine that foreign powers gain their knowledge of the facts of the case from the leading articles of either the Times oar the Morning Herald ? When we blamed the Glo be for calling 1853 " a good year," although it had brought us a famine, a pestilence, and probably a war also, could any sane person be lieve that we were, informing Russia and Austria of any facts which tbLey did not already know ? Was it any secret that wheat was 725. per quarter in our markets ? Had it, been hitherto unknown that in October the chol€ira was slaying, in London, its hundred per week Or could any one be ignorant that a general war was at least a not improbable occurrence ? And so, in like manner, whether we make the natural remarks on the quarter's revenue which we have just penned, or are wholly silent, will any statesman, in Europe be ignorant of the fact, in the course , of next week, that our national revenue is already declining, and seems likely to decline still further ? We have hazarded no rash or doubtful statements ; and when we simply de scribe things as they are, we repel the charge that we are holding out encouragement to our country's enemies. EFFECTIVE NAVAL FORCE OF BRITAIN. E r From the Times. ) In the present state of affairs abroad it becomes a matter of general interest to the people of this country to ascertain, as far as possible, the condi tion of the effective naval forces at our disposal ; and, from the in creased activity which has been visible for some time past in the dockyards, we have no doubt the it the Admiralty will be prepared to meet with the utmost promptitude all the de mands which may be made upon the service. We understand that it is the intention of the Govern ment to raise the number of seamen and marines for the current year to 53,500 men, which is an in crease of about 8,000 on the number voted for last year, and a furen.er addition to the 5,000 men raised under the orders of Lord Derby's Admini stration. The tot al increase in the navy since 1852 may therefore be stated at 13,000 men. Of the force now to be raised for the service of the fleet 38,000 will be sea men and boys, and 15,500 ma rines. The unabated demand for ships and sea men in the merchant service, which is attribut able to the extraordinary increase of our exports and imports, may render it a work of some diffi culty summarily to xaise so large an additional force, but, on the other hand, the improved condition of the seaman under - the last regulations of the navy, the chance of pri3e money, and the call of the country are additional inducements to volunteer for the service. A large proportion of our sea faring men are always abroad, and probably not more than 20,000 seamen, except those serving in the navy, are at any one moment in England. Some time must thereforeelapsebefore the demands of the service are kiaDwn to the class of men whom they most concern ; but the manner in which 5,000 additional seamen have been raised in the past year, without any extraordinary stimulus, warrants the belief that the sailors of England will not be wanting to the flag of their conntry. The present moment is remarkable for other reasons in the annals of the naval service, since it is destined to witness the transformation of the fleet into a steam navy. No one of the tens of thousands who were present at the naval review at Spithead in August last could doubt the expe diency and necessity of the application of steam power to the largest ships. Already on that oc casion a considerable squadron of line-of-battle ships moved by screw propellers was collected ; but this force has since been largely increased, and our readers will peruse with interest a list of the line-of-battle ships and frigates now afloat and moved by this powerful mechanism : Guns. H.p. Duke of Wellington 131 700 Western Squadron. Royal George St Jean d'Acre Agamemnon 9l 600 Bosphorus. Ca;sar 9O 400 Not in commission. Cressy James Watt 9O 600 N o t i n comm i ss i on . __ . Majestic Nile Princess Royal Sanspareil ' 7O 350 Bosphorus. Ajax Blenheim 6O 450 Guardship (Portsmouth). Hogue Edinburgh Arrogant Imperieuse .. 5O 360 Western Squadron.

Euryalus 5O 400 The above are all screw steam-ships ; but to these may be added tho following, among the more powerful paddle-wheel steamers now afloat : Guns. H.p. Terrible 2l 800 Bosphorus. _ _ Sidon 22 560 Bosphorus. 16 560 Western Squadron. Retribution 2B 400 Bosphorus. Valorous Furious l6 400 Bosphorus. Leopard . lB 560 Portsmouth. Magicienne Penelope We omit vessels of ,an inferior class, and those we have named all deserve to be ranked as powerful frigates. In addition to these lists, the following screw steam-ships are building, and will probably be afloat in a few months : . Horse Power. ".... 400 600 600 450 450 400 350 It appears from these returns that, setting aside the whole sailing fleet of England, we have at present afloat 11 steam little-of-battle ships, soon to be increased to 20, 5 guard - ships with auxiliary steam power, and 7 frigates fitted with screw propellers, which . may be considered (with one or two exceptions) the finest vessels ever launched of their class. Of these screw line-of battle ships only two (the Sanspareil and the Agamemnon) are in the Turkish waters , and the former of these two vessels does not, we fear, altogether answer to her name. The greater num ber of those already in commission belong to Ad miral Corry's division, which is termed by the Admiralty the Western Squadron, though it may be considered to be on an experimental cruise ; and four are still waiting for commission. ,so that, METROPOLITAN AND GENERAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evening a meeting of the shareholders of the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society was held at the British School Rooms, Cowper-street, Fins bury, The principle object of the meeting was to ballot for eighty rights to advances, 40 from the ballot rights, and 40 from the rotation division. From a statement circulated in the room, detailing the numerous advantages held out, , it appeared that by joining this society, a mechanic, or labourer, or other person of limited income, might, by small weekly contri butions, become the proprietor in his own right of a piece of freehold land, upon which a dwelling house might be erected, either to let or to occupy. To effect this object, land was purchased wholesale in large quan tities by the acre, and divided into plots of an annual value of not less than 405., and allotted to the shareholder at the wholesale or cost price, thus effecting a saving of from thirty to sixty pounds on each plot. In the pur chasing of land, great care was taken to obtain as far as possible such as would be immediately available fcr building upon, or other valuable purposes, or which the members can dispose of at a ground rent on building leases. The estates already purchased at Barnes and Wimbledon had given the greatest satisfaction to the members, and would bear comparison with any other estates purchased for the members of freehold land societies. The cost of the conveyance to the members was 30s. each, exclusive of stamps, which was added to the price of the allotment, and paid for by the allottees in their regular subscription. The society advanced the difference between the price of the allotment and the contributions paid in by the allottees. The allot tees might at any time redeem the mortgages by paying off the advance made to them, and a re lease was given them by the trustees, and their shares extinguished. Deposits were received by the society in large or small sums, and interest at the rate of five per cent. allowed. The money so deposited with the society, with the interest thereon, might be withdrawn upon giving seven days' notice to the secretary. The society thus offered greater facilities, a larger rate of interest, and better security than any savings bank. Shortly after eight o'clock the chair was taken by G. J. Philps, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the even ing, said the observations he should have to make to the meeting would necessarily be very short. He need not, he was sure, enlarge upon the proceedings of the Metro politan and General Freehold Land Society, because he might say these proceedings were before the world. The shareholders knew what they had done during the year just passed ; they had expressed their satisfaction in the liighest terms, and they had ample reason for that satis faction, because they had got their premiums in their pockets. (Cheers.) He was sure that there could not be more weighty reasons than pounds, shillings, and pence. (Laughter and cheers.) The principle business of the evening consisted in balloting (for the tenth time) for 10 rights to advances from the ballot division, and 40 from the rotation division, making in all, according to the resolution of the committee, 80 rights. He (the chair man) would feel great pleasure, before resuming his seat, in answering any questions that might be put to him. The first part of the proceedings would be the election of scrutineers to conduct the ballot. The seals on the ballot box having been verified and removed, and Mr. Hind having volunteered to act as one of the scrutineers, The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said they required the assistance of two more gentlemen, in order that the business of the evening might be got through briskly, the weather being very inclement. He hoped two other gentlemen would volunteer to act as the colleagues of Mr. Hind. He trusted the society would be enabled to put as much land into the hands of the shareholders this year as they had done during the year just ended. In that year the directors of the society had put into the hands of the shareholders 50 acres. (Cheers.) That he considered was something. (Cheers.) Two gentlemen having volunteered, The names of Mr. Hind, Mr. Grossmith, and Mr. Hack were then put to the meeting and agreed to. The corresponding numbers of the shares taken prior to the commencement of the proceedings having been handed to the scrutineers, and by them placed in the wheel, and The forty numbers having been drawn, The CHAIRMAN said the advice he gave those gentle men who were so fortunate as to get a right was to hold on, and for this reason : A gentleman had given a com mission to an agent to purchase rights to the amount of 4001. ; indeed, the agent was empowered to go to the extent of 8001.—thus showing to the assembled share holders the high estimation in which this society was held. (Cheers.) The forty rotation rights having been added, the fol lowing numbers were announced at the termination of the ballot, by the secretary (Mr. D. R. WHITE) :- 2,006, 822, 2,689 and 2,690 grouped, 3,334, 2,931, 2,633, 2,704, 1,961, 3,128, 914, 1,036, 3,303, 916, 1,131, 907, 2,694, 1,040, 913, 1,960, 1,128, 823, 2,360, 910, 911, 908, 2,611, 1,034, 3,041, 909, 1,032, 2,957, 3,001, 905, 3,213, 1,132, 3,086, 1,184, 3,165, 1,039, 912, 2,077, 826, 1,130, 1,041, 824, 825, 3,109, 1,129, 1,031, 906, 2,239, 2,996, 2,953, 2,002, 2,260, 1,194, 1,035, 2,459, 2,241, 2,913, 1,037, 1,193, 2,515, 3,108, 3,335, 2,742, 932, 2,417, 2,586, 1,038, 904, :3,239, 2,910, 2,937, 909, 1,033, 1,720, 915, and 919. A vote of thanks having been given to the scrutineers, Mr. HIND rose for the purpose of moving the follow ing vote of thanks to the chairman for the able manner •in which he had fulfilled the duties of the evening. He passed a high eulogium upon the chairman for the great exertions he had made on all occasions in promoting the interests and extending the means of the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society, viz. : That the thanks of this meeting are most justly due, and are hereby given, to G. J. Philps, Esq., for the ability and impartiality with which he has presided over the pro ceedings of the society this evening." Mr. C. JOYNER briefly seconded the motion. The resolution having been put to the meeting and carried, The CHAIRMAN, on rising to return thanks, said he felt highly gratified at the manner in which his exertions had been appreciated. He trusted that they would all live long, and by being firmly united they would imitate the bundle of sti c k s ment i oned in the fable o f o ld. , The proceedings then terminated.

This result is already creditable to the Admiralty, and it has been accomplished within the . last few months on what is • still a peace establishment. Among those politicians who distinguished themselves at an early period of the dispute now pending in the East by loudly recommending a prompt appeal to arms, there may be some who will perceive, with satisfaction, that we are far better prepared to meet such an emergency at the pre sent time than we were last spring. At that time the Baltic was open, our naval resources were not collected, and our coasts were comparatively undefended. We have now had time to prepare against the danger. Our armaments, i n d ee d, are still of a very limited character, and cannot be compared to the stupendous exertions of the Em peror of Russia, who has set the whole army of his empire in motion, has 40 line-of-battle ships in commission, has raised four millions and a half of money from the Church, and commenced operations on a scale worthy of the campaign of Moscow. But no one will complain that Great Britain has been less violent and precipitate in her demonstra tions of hostility, partly from her reluctance to surrender the last hopes of peace, and partly from a just confidence in that power which has never yet failed her. The Admiralty has constructed a fleet of magnificent ships, armed with all that modern science has done for navigation. We trust that young, able, and energetic officers will be selected to command them ; and we venture to affirm that with good ships, good officers, and good treatment, the blue jackets will not fail to do their part in their country's battles. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, This afternoon the United States mail steam ship Atlantic, Captain West, arrived in the Mersey with the usual mails from the United States and British North. America. The Atlantic sailed from New York on the 24th ult., and has brought, be sides the mails, 80 passengers and 500,000 dols. in specie on freight. The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, from hence, was passed by the Atlantic on the 25th ult. off New York. The Liverpool and Philadelphia Screw Steam ship Company's vessel City of Manchester, from hence, arrived at Philadelphia on the 23d ult. The United States Mail Steam-ship Hermann, from Bremen and Southampton, rrrived at New York on the morning of the 23d ult. At 10 p.m. on the 23d the America from Halifax, whence she sailed on the 22d, had not arrived at Boston. The weather there was very thick, with rain and snow, and it was not considered probable the steamer would arrive before the following morning. The steam-ship Pampero, from San Juan de Ni caragua, had arrived at the Belize, and would reach New Orleans about midnight of the 23d. She had a large quantity of gold on freight and Califor nian dates to the Ist of December. The steamer Northern Light sailed from San Juan on the I6th for New York with 500 passengers and 1,600,000 dollars in gold on freight. We have advices from Havannah to the 18th. On the Bth the American brig Ocean Bello arrived at that city, having on board the passengers and crews of the Spanish steamer General Arnero and the British brig Oscar, both of which vessels had been wrecked and abandoned. The cargoes of both are also lost. The late Capt.-Genera] Canedo took his depar ture from Havannah for Spain in the steamer Condo de Regla on the 11th ult. No regret was expressed on the occasion of his leaving the island ; but, on the contrary, the hope that he will never return invested with authority. By the arrival of the barque, Cadet, at New York from Belize, Honduras, we have advices from thence to the 27th ult. The war in Central America was at that date in statu quo, the states of Nicara gua and San Salvador having offered their mediation between the belligerents. The commissioners of the several governments were to have met at Santa Anna, in San Salvador, on the 15th, but it was doubtful if they would meet all ; or, even if they meet, whether any satisfact or y result would fol low ' - for, if the Gove rnmen t p a p er o f G ua t ema l a can be relied on, nothing will be done by that state except on condition of a radical change in the personelle of the Honduras Government; that is unless the liberal or union party is excluded from power. The New York stock market exhibited a quiet appearance. There was little alteration in price, and there were no indications of any important movement one way or the other. Money was more abundant, but more than enough to make the negotiation of loans mode rately easy, and to prevent forcing stoc ks on the market. In the New York cotton market a fair amount of business had been doing, and former quotations were steadily maintained. The following were the rates on the day of the departure of the mail : New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 12e. to 12-ic. per lb. ; Uplands, mid , fair to fair, pe. t o 11 c. Exchange on London was quoted at 1091 to 109, but these figures were not well sustained. Paris, 5.131 to 5.16 f. Hamburg, 37 to 371. Bremen, 80 to 80i. In the market for breadstuffs flour was much were made at about 12c. soug ht after, and sales advance in price. Wheat was held at 3c. to 4c. T e r bushel higher, and ru l e d quiet in consequence. he prices obtained were, for Gennessee white, 1 dol. 82c. ; fair Canadian, in bond, 1 dol. 64c. to 1 dol. 66c. ; and common southern, 1 dol. 57c. per bushel. C orn was pretty brisk, and steady at 74c. to 78c. for new, and 78c. to 82c. for old of all kinds. Corn meal show ed no alteration. Ry e and barley partook of the same character. In the provision market pork ruled very quiet, but beef was active and buoyant. In the freight market the shippers were waiting the receipt of letters by the America, and engage • melts were light. To Liverpool, corn engaged in ships' bags, at 10d. ; for flour, 3s. per barrel was asked, and 2s. 9d. offered ; uncompressed cotton was engaged at 7.32 d. per lb. The following despatch reached prior to the sail ing of the steamer :—New Orleans, Dec. 23. The sales of cotton to-day were 38,000 bales. The bet ter qualities are firm. Middling is quoted at 91c. Stock on hand, 201,000 bales. The America's news came to hand this evening after business hours. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 5. A letter written on board the hospital ship at Ber- muda, dated December 5, states that the island had been for eight days visited by a severe gale, during which no new case of yellow fever had occurred. Those ill were recovering, Her Majesty's frigate Pique, 40, having been commis sioned, was this morning warped alongside the jetty at the Devonport dockyard to receive stores. The Turkish paddle-wheel war-steamer Vassati Tidga rots, 2 guns, 350 tons, 300 horse power, Capt. Beanchi, came in this afternoon. She left Constantinople Dec. 5 ; Malta, 11 ; Vigo, 29 ; and Fahnouth, Jan. 4 ; and is bound for London to be refitted. She was launched at Cowes about five years ago. Arrived to-day.—The bark Meteor, of London, Capt. Brodie, from th e M aur i t i us and the Cape of Good Hope ; the bark Champion, of London, Capt. Hatley, from Madras ; the bark Griasville Bray, of Newcastle, Capt. Hoskinson, from Quebec ; the schooner Centaur Beriam, from Leghorn, for Lond on ; th e s hi p M aranham Clark, from Quebec for Newcastle ; and the brigantine Han deeps, Bickford, from St. Michael's, for Hull. SHEERNESS, JAN. 4. The Cyclops, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Master-Commander Robert W. Roberts, has been taken into No. 3 dock for the purpose of examining feed pipes, copper, &e., and will be put out of dock immediately after survey. The Cyclops is to be fitted to receive troops (artillery) for passage to Malta and Gibraltar ; she will then proceed on, for general service for the fleet in the Mediterranean, with shot, shell, ammunition, arms, &c. Lieutenant Grant, R.N., has this day taken up his commission, and joined the Cressy, 80 guns, newittcrew steam line of battle ship, Capt. Richard L. Warren. Immediately the Melampus frigate storeship has trans-shipped the boilers of the Majestic, she is to pro ceed to Woolwich to take in machinery, &c., for the western ports, for steam-ships fitting at Portsmouth, Devonport, and Milford. The - Lady Flora, revenue-cutter, Charles Bones in command, arrived here yesterday from Dover with volunteers for the navy (obtained at Ramsgate), princi• pally first class boys, who have been received on board the flagship Waterloo for general and continuous ser vice. in conformity with an Admiralty order, the Captain- Superintendent Charles Hope has issued instructions to the respective officers of the yard, which instructions have been promulgated to the respective classes of me chanics, labourers, Sic., through th e i r p ro p er o ffi cers, that in future, until further orders from their lordships, all persons employed on new works shall be employed on task and job, in order to facilitate the internal and external fitment of all ships brought forward for com mission, as well as for ships commissioned, building, &c. This is considered a forerunner for the entire staff of mechanics and labourers to be put on task and job in the dockyards, in consequence of the great difficulty in experienced in obtaining men to enter the Government yard on the low rate of wages they receive compared with the wages earned at private building and repairing yards in the River Thames and elsewhere ; all or most of such persons being on task and job, unlimited earnings. The Medea, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Com mander Augustus Phi Elmore, is daily expected here from Portsmouth, for the purpose of being taken into dry dock for making good defects, &c. WOOLWICH, JAN. 5. The slip on which the Pearl, new screw steam-cor vette, of 20 guns, is to be built is now all cleared out at this dockyard, and a number of workmen have com menced forming the timbers of her keel into their required proportions previous to its being laid down. The Pearl will be a description of war steamer, fitted with the screw propeller, much required since the introduction of that mode of propulsion to the vessels of ,the Royal navy, and her dimensions will be as follows : Feet Inches. Length between the perpendiculars 2OO ... 0 • Breadth, extrenie . . 4O ... 4 Ditto moulded Ditto for tonnage 4O ... 0 Depth of hold 23 ... II Tormage, 1,48tL To carry 20 guns. The Pearl will be only 12 tons less than theAmphion, 131, screw steam-frigate, and within 34 tons of the di mensions of filo Dauntless steam-frigate. The High flyer, 21, screw steam-frigate, is 308 tons less than the Pearl will be ; consequently, the latter will be able to carry 20 guns of the largest calibre, and, if fitted with engines of a suitable power, will prove a forinklable war steamer. It is intended to construct othir'r idhr. itearn ers of the same class, and they will shortly bo com menced at the other dockyards, as slips become vacant suitable to build them on, _ _ _ A number of casks were brought down from Dept ford yesterday to aid in floating the Firefly steam-vessel into dock again, as at the time the ice lifted the caisson, and allowed her to get out,' her bottom had been stripped and repairs were going on, which allowed the water to ~.enter when the tide rose, and she was imbedded in the mud alongside the , wharf wall of the river. The caisson has been restored to its proper place at the entrance of the dock without any difficulty, as it had not sustained the least injury by its voyage among the floating ice on the river. The scene yesterday on the river, opposite the dockyard, had a strange effect, the wind blowing bitterly cold from the north-cast. Some perilous adventurers were eve rienced in boats during the day. In the foremen, a waterman got entangled among the floes of the ice, arid, when a short distance below the Fisgard , his boat be came frozen in. Mr. Osborn, recently boatswain of the Phcenix, and who went with her in her last voyage to the Arctic regions, volunteered, with three other persons, to proceed from the landing-place, whi c h was k ept open, to the rescue of the watermen, but the great quantity of floes coming down with the ebbing tide carried them so m e distance down the river beyond the waterman, and their initiu iin o a t boa t became h emme d i n among the ice and v n eli u y ch sho e r n t ve t r i i m ng e, a a n n d d n t o he s y he h l a te d r, o fr remain a.m. to 1 o'clocktfrhoezreen w p.m., when the tide began to flow, and carried them up the river, in the centre of a large mass of pieces of ice of various thicknesses. Fortunately, when they passed Charlton-pier, they approached within a short distance of the Marine Society's ship Venus, and, a rope beiiig thrown to them, they succeeded in getting on bard that vessel, where every attention was paid to their comfort by the Lieutenant Commander. The waterman, after being two hours in his perilous po sition, with no person to aid him, was relieved by a con vict, who succeeded in throwing a line with a plumb of lead attached to him, and, by the united exertions of ten men, both himself and , boat were drawn over the ice to the shore. CHATHAM, JAN. 5. The Isis, 44 guns, was taken into dock on Wednesday to be immediately tted for sea. She is to have a poop put in her, as she is to be made an admiral's ship. The Boscawen, 70 guns, Captain Glanville, was put out of dock on Tuesday. She will be out of the hands of the dockyard this month. The Euryalus, screw steam frigate, 50 guns, Captain Ramsay, was put out of dock yesterday. The Marines and Marine Artillery are expected to go on board on Friday next. The Orion, 90 guns, building, is to be completed with all dispatch ; every available hand is put on her at task work, with unlimited wages. This ship was cut asun der, and lengthened for a screw-ship. The Chesapeake, 60 guns, is ordered to be built, thereby adding another screw-ship to our fleet. The frame for her is cut, and the keel is to be laid down in the (lock that the Euryalus was floated out from on the sth of October last. , OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WoLVERHAMPON RAIL WAY.—A civil engineer has just succeeded in recovering the sum of 6/. from this company,one of who se t ra i ns, in consequence of its late a rrival a t Stourbridge, and of railway workmen, stopping to take in a gang ' failed to catch the London express at Dudley, and so pre a meeting in Loudon ou the 14th u lt. vented the plaintiff from attendin g , i n h i s professional capacity, .~ Esq., Mrs. finis- Aart, ING, .112, ty of 7% 0 ts t k tO Vz 11 Satui I 1 Time. 8% 11% 3% ~,; V. c;
