One circumstance is stated as certain, and which looks like preparation for an emergency—namely, that an inquiry has been sent to this and other ports to ascertain how early six sail-of the-line could be at Spithead ready for sailing orders. It is also certain that the experimental brigs will not be commissioned until the matters now before her Majevy's Government respecting the French egressions are settled. The statement in an evening paper of Wednesday last; that the above squadron would be commissioned on,the following day, it is almost needless to say is without atAy foundation. The rumour that Captain A. L. Cot ry had commissioned the steam-sloop Firebrand, to take ilia command of the experimental squadron, ogd bad hoisted a Commodore's broad-pendant, is equally ' false. lt is, however, exceedingly marvellous that upwards of 5 - 00 able-bodied efficient seamen and petty officers should be waiting about, which they have been for - Some months, in expectation of the daily commissioning of the itew brig squadron. Many of them are reduced to the greatest distress, and many, tired of such wanton delay, /tyro left the port for o ther employment. We are intim-it - fed upon excellent authority that men are being entered at Tower-bill for general service. We' hope the report is true • and we trust that orders will be immediately issued for entering such hands as are now waiting about for ships on board the Victory, in order to be ready for draughting into other ships on any emergency. The Collingwood, 80, Capt. Smart, is still at Spithead, awaiting sailing orders. Iler officers are in doubt:as to whether they will sail for Otaheite or Tangiers. The Vindictive, 50, is in dock overhauling, and will, it is asserted, be brought forward for re-commission with all speed. The royal yacht Vctoria and Albert -is now reported ready fOr sea. To-morrow she will proceed round tile Isle of Wight with Admiral Sir George Cockburn Oil board, to try her steam and canvass speed, together with the working of her new machinery and tOdl4‘ boilers. The Illustrious, 72, Commodore Sharp, was at Hali fax on the 3d inst., all well, last from Bermuda: Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adam had struck his flag on the Pyramus receiving ship, and hoisted it on board the The Hornet, 6, Lieutenant- Commander R. B. Miller, and the Griffon, 3, Lieutenant-Commander C. Jenkins, are ordered home from Halifax. The Penelope, 22, steam fri g ate, Commodore Jones, was at St. Helena on the 27th of June, with the Tqr toise store and guard ship, from .Asoension, to obtain as much water as they could stow, that essential, being dis trssingly scarce at Ascension. The Iris, 26, Captain Mundy, was at Symond's Day on the 2d f June, en route to Ching, The Queen, 110, Captain W. F. Martin; is being rapidly fitted for sea in the harbour, She will, it is petted, leave for Spithead next week. Whether ole will sail from Spithead to Sheerness, or for a fontirsi station, has become, since the last lhews froth Tang,lers,ib matter of considerable doubt and discussion. Her com plement of hands (950) is nearly complete. The Thunder, 6, Commander Barnett, sailed on Thurs day for Chatham, to be paid off. • The Vestal, 26, Captain C. Talbot, awaits orders in. the River Plate. _ _ _ The Bittern, 16, Commander Edmund •Peel.- By letters just received, we are informed that Midshipman Radcliffe and two seamen of this ship Were unfortu nately drowned at Natal, - by the upsetting of the cutter, in the act of going ashore at this port. The Cressy, a new ship of 80 guns, upon the plan of. Messrs. Chatfield. Reed, and Creuze, the Committee of Naval Architecture, is ordered to be built at Chatham.

GEORGE COLMAN TIIE YOUNGER. — When Geoffiii Colman wrote the comedy . of John .118,11 public exp Let a was raised to the highest pitch, and.over and anailit. whisper from the green-room tended to heighten the anxious desire to witness the performance. Rehearsals went on, and the comedy was undealined in The bills. This continued for a week ; at length a night iks ftA for the production. But up to this period, - COMM haft only Written four acts of the comedy.• All tM-placak were taken, and poor Fawcett (the stage manager) was in despair. Night and day, as hi professional duties would permit, he stuck to the witty erratic author, till at length, on the evening pre vious to the performance, he wrung a promise from Colman that lie should have the fifth act in the - roornitie In the morning Fawcett called, and was shown .into . Colman's bed-room. lle was quietly in the `arms Morpheus, and the room scattered over with sheets of paper, and one or two empty gin bottles. Fawcett ga thered up the manuscript and posted to the theatre, got the parts copied, and given to th e p erformers. The play was produced as announced, and the fifth act was re hearsed in the intervals between the others. The do served success of the comedy is well known.—Dramatic and Musical Review.

THE MOORS. Grouse shooting commenced on Monday last, but the wet weather of Sunday night and Monday morn ing prevented many of the sportsmen' from going out till nearly noon, when the moors were. so wet as t o . be unfavourabl e, for the sport. The birds were numerous and strong, and during the week very ex tensive destruction has been effected on the Yorkshire moors. Leeds has been amply supplied, and yester day (and two or. three days previously) grouse was sold at six shillings a brace.—Leeds Mercury. The Duke of Devonshire, on Monday, the 12th instant, shot twenty brace of moor game in the Broad Park, near Barden Tower. His Grace has had a party of friends staying with him. We hear from the moors, in the northen part of our own county, that the sport on the 12th was not so good this year as the last, owing to the fact that the young birds are quite strong, and that there having been a shower on the previous night they were dis— turbed, so that sportsmen could scarcely get within fifty yards of them.—Derblishire Courier. The Aberdeen' and Inverness paprs give glowing accounts of the sport in the north ; with which letters before us (Ayr Advertiser) from the moor grounds at Eaglesham, Barr, Portmark at the head of Loch Doon, and the Stewartry of Kirendbright, quite co incide. Saturday vouchsafed splendid weather for sportsmen, with their dog-carts, keepe rs, a nd 'do g s jogging afong the hilly roads to quarters, and although the 12th dawned rather inauspiciously, and the grounds were wet from recent rain, the coveys sat well, and what is still more to the point they were numerous, and the birds strong • on the wing. One - of our accounts states-that two parties who met at their match on hilly moors near Castle Douglas, at two raa., had 'not seen a sin,gle " cheeper," although .ohe . party with' two guns' had 'bagged fourteen brats; since nine A.M., and the other" with a single gun ten and a half brace from the same hour. Another party of five gentlemen, shooting on Lord Stair's moors, bagged sixty-three brace during the day—one gun killing twenty-two brace ! The accounts from keepers in various quarters correspond with this ex perience. They estimate that there are four birds this year to one last season, and that many of the coveys present from ten to fourteen birds to the tube of the sportsman. There is also every prospect of good sport on the Ist of September, as harvest is likely to be early, and hares and partridges plentiful. The supply of game in Glasgow this week is nearly double what it was this time last year, and in good condition. Grouse are selling at from 3s. to 6s. per brace; snipes, Is.; harea, Is. 6d. to 3s. each.— Glas gow Chronicle. The prospect for the sportsman is very flattering. The early harvest in this neighbourhood will leave him at liberty to pursue his exciting sport, and the quantity of partridges will give him abundance of occupation. The coveys are very large, and the birds are very strong on the wing. Hares are also pretty numerous.— Western Times. Baouox.—The 12th of August, which is looked forward to with so much interest, was, during the early part of the day, but unfavourable to the sports men in this neighbourhood. The morning was dull and heavy, and the fells covered with a partial mist, which greatly retarried the progress of the early risers, and during the forenoon, the falling showers were very frequent. Towards noon, however, the sun began at intervals to make his appearance from behind the clouds, and a brisk wind having arisen, the mist was dispelled, which rendered the sport more agreeable. The birds, we are informed, were plentiful, but from the unfavourable cold state of the weather, were very wild and bad to come at ; nevertheless some of the sportsmen had succeeded in bagging large numbers. Sackville Rippon, Esq., of Acorn Bank, bagged twenty-two brace; and others, we learn, were almost equally fortunate. [Accounts from other localities are to the same effect.]—Carlisle Journal. The sport on the moors in the counties of Cumber lana and Westmoreland was excellent. Birds were on the whole plentiful, but- it required the greatest ingenuity to come within proper range of them, they being so exceedingly wild and unusually strong on the wing. The Hon. Colonel Lowther, Sir James Macadam, W. Holmes, Esq., and other gentlemen, in Shap and Birkbeck Fells, the preserves of the Earl of Lonsdale, with hard working, made a tolerably good day's sport. Col. Lowther bagged sixteen brace, but his sporting companions were not quite so fortu nate. Sir George, Mpsgrove, of Eden Hall, Captain Salmond, and otkterra,-, were mare successful on the worthy Baronet's preserves on the moors near Kirby Stephen, Westmoreland. Sir George, we understand, brought down twenty-five brace; and the other gen tlemen of his company had some excellent shots. William Marshall, Esq., M.P., who was accompanied by three friends, on Cross Fell, traversed many a weary mile, and on their return to the shooting-box on the fell, in the afternoon, were well laden with fine birds. H. Howard, Esq., and his friends, were in Skiddaw Forest, where the birds were numerous, but being packed together in large numbers, they were difficult to come at; however, by perseverance, they made a good day's work, killing, on an average, about eight brace each. Accounts received from several other moors are that the birds are numerous, but in consequence of the long-continued dry state of the weather during the hatching season, they were not to be persuaded to place themselves within reach. —Leeds Mercury. Birds were never more plentiful, but owing to the unsettled state of the weather they are very wild. Several veteran sportsman, whose names we are in possession of, have nevertheless contrived to " bag" their ten and twelve brace a day.—Lancaster Guardian. The HQn. E. M. L. Mostyn, and his brother the Hon. J. P. Lloyd, bagged 27 brace of fine grouse, between the hours of four and seven P.M. on the 12th, upon the Bodidris Hills, near Ruthin.—Carnarvon Herald. On Monday last William Lister, keeper to John Keldard, Esq., Cappleside, near Settle, killed twenty brace of grouse on Pineggen Moor, and only missed four shots. He also killed the above over one dog.— Lancaster Guardian. FERTIrSIIIRE.—For some days previous to the Mai the number of sportsmen and tourists passing to the north exceeded anything known in this quarter fur many years. On one day, toll was taken on one•of. the Highland roads upon 57 vehicles, which included five stage coaches, carrying 93 passengers. We be lieve every moor upon which there is the appearance of cover, is tenanted; and not a few waiting at the north country inns for the reversion, of those shoot ings, where the appetite of the tenants-like the epi cure who could only-eat from the sunny side of the peach—is satisfied with the first fruits. Monday was a finer day among the hills than in the low country. Little •or no rain fell till after mid-day, by which, time those sportsmen who had been out since daylight were not disinclined to call a halt. Colonel Patter son, on the Logiealmond hills, laid down his gun at that hour, having bagged 55 brace ; Mr. Fox Maule's - return at Arnuiree was 85 brace; Lord Mexborough and party, at Auchnafree, three guns, 159 brace; Sir P. M. Thriepland, at Balnaguard, 60 brace; Sir John Mackenzie at Loch Ericht, 561 brace ; Mr. Campbell, of Achallader, at Cochrage, 60 brace; Mr. Stirling Craufurd, at Dalnaspidal, 87f brace. The grounds being wet from the pre vious rains, the birds were rather wild ;, so that the above results- confirm the previous accounts of the abundance of the game. The grouse are more uni formly large and plump birds than has been the case for several years.--Perth Courier. ' THE HARVEST AND THE . CROPS. Owing to the unsettled state of the weather, the corn harvest has made but little progress in the Northern counties during the present week. A good deal of oats and some wheat are cut, but very little of either has' been carried. Much of the wheat is laid, but only little is yet dLnaged. It is too early to judge of the yieldof the corn cropawith certainty; but- the pre vailing'opinion 'is that winter-sown 'wheat will exceed an average produce, if well gathered, while spring Wheat, and oats, and barley, will be below the yield of average of.years. The - reports from all parts of the country, as well from the South as in the North, •describe the weather as "damp, cold, and boisterous, not only in England, but in Scotland, and Ireland, and the critical state of the cannot fail to, ex- Cite some apprehension. This - feeling is indicated by -the London .Corn .Market, in which wheat advanced from Is. to 2s. a - quarter - on Monday, and a further advance of is.. took place on _Wednesday. In the .Wakefield Market of yesterday wheat temporarily advanced is. per quarter, as compared with the market of that day sentught, and other grain in proportion . but at.. the' close of. the market last 'week's prices were submitted to. The root orops.and the after meat are improving. rapidly. On Thurs . day the day was fair, though dull, and the glass was on, the rise ; yesterday the weather was :fine ' and sunny, and the throughout still advancing, though by no means high. Throughout Yorkshire the corn crops generally . look well, and little or no -injury• has been. suffered. . We have this week had an -opportunity . of observing the .crops northward from Leeds, by Harrowgate, Ripon, Masham, Bedale, and Richmond. In this line of country there is a great deal of corn ; and the appearance of the crops gene rally is very beautiful.' In most parts the harvest is beginning, and about Ripon a good deal of corn has been cut. Comparatively few fields are so lodged by the rain as to have suffered. If the weather should now be fine, there will be an excellent and abundant harvest.—Leeds2lfercury. Instead of the universal 'wish and prayer for rain which was daily breathed but a short time back, an earnest desire at this moment as generally prevails for dry and fair weaiher. During the past week, not only frequent showers, but very heavy rains .have fallen, as well by day as by night; and the important operations of harvest have thereby been unfortunately much retarded. Hitherto;-wehope, the corn has not sustained any material injury ; but a continuance of the same moist and Mild state of the atmosphere, for even a few days longer "would, it is feared,- be at tended with serious consequences. Nothing could -be more cheering thin the accounts of the wheat crop, and of the prospect of housing it in good order, re ceived from all quarters previously' to the present visitation of wet weather', nor is there, we are happy to believe,grounds any yet for alarm or apprehen ---- sion.No rtvich Mercu ry. PETERBOROUGH.—Last , week a large quantity of wheat was cut in our_ neighbourhood, and if the weather had this week been as favourable as the last there would have been but little remaining to he cut.. A few fine days will make- , the -farmers (who with us are 'generally on the alert) alive to their Own inte rest, and to that.of the 'country as well. The wheat here is much heavier than usual, - although the sheave's are. not •so numerous as we have seen thein . stand. Upon the whole, there will be in this neighbourhoSd at least an average crop.—Canzbridge 'Chronicle. THE WEATHE R AM) THE CROPS.—The late heavy rains in this district have had the effect of laying a considerable portion of the wheat, notwithstanding which, should -the weather provo favourable, heavy crops will be secured. Should the rain, however, continue to fall heavily, serious damage may be sus tained. The harvest has not yet commenced gene rally in the East Riding ; on the clay lands some fields havest dt l i T ig. en_c i u iit t; ll.4. on dy t e h r e tise l r S : olds, however, all is yet the quarterly meet i ng o f t h e W et h er b y F armers ' a A n Club, among other resolutions come to is the fol lowing :—" The best time to cut wheat is when the grain is in a raw state, and the straw beginning to assume a yellow hue up to the ear, or from ten to seven days earlier than is customary in this district." As the subject of this resolution is one of great im portance to the farmer, and is opposed to the general practice of allowing the corn to become fully ripe before cutting, we have thought it right to call the attention .of our readers to the point.—Leeds Mercury. TUE HAY HARVEST.—The hay harvest will this year, to all appearance, extend over a great part of four months, namely, June, July, August, and September. In a considerable part of Yorkshire the hay is still abroad in the fields • in many places it is uncut ; and we he ar i n the northern parts the farmers. think of postponing the getting in of their hay till after the corn harvest ! The crops are generally very deficient, though, where the hay is cut very late, the quantity is increased, but of course at the expense of the after-grass.— Leeds Mercury. HERRING- FISHER-Y. BERWICK.—Our herring fishery has, on the whole, been better this week. In the early part of it the take was very poor; but, as the week advanced, it improved with the rise of the tides—the shoal being a little to the north of this. The highest boat on Thurs day had about twenty crans—prices for the London market from 18s. to 14s. per cran. The fish are good in quality. The strong north wind that blew on Thursday morning subsided a deal before evening, and the boats got all to sea that night, eager for the fishing, the prospects of which are now improving. . The shoal is close to land, and we think success very probable. This morning the take is fully as high as on Thursday, and more general. EYEMOUTH, Aug. 15.—The fishing has been very unsuccessful here this week until Wednesday, when the take was from one to 12 crans. The boats again put off in the evening with high expectations, but, before midnight, a severe storm arose which caused the fishermen to haul their nets. Several, however, had a number of crans. The weather having mode rated, our boats will be all off to night again. Prices during the week have been 1 ls. and 12s. per cran. We have a great many. French vessels here waiting on herrings. Some of:our boats which went to Dunbar on Monday, as there was a report of herrings being at that place, have all returned unsuccessful. HOLY ISLAND, AUG. 15.--We are sorry to be under the necessity of reporting unfavourably of our herring fishing up to this time. On Sunday evening our boats went out, and, in the morning, one boat had nineteen crans. The others ranged from one to three, and some had not even one cran. On Tuesday morn ing, the highest tak b e ut w t a h s e to:heel other e bo c a r t a s n h s a ; d t v h e e ry o f t e h ‘ e v r , On. Wednesday th e hundred. Owin g t o th e boats the same as e o ;v n .en M a onday. sourshighest f fifteenN t S h 'a e s mn o t gale ceasing that night some of the boats were in hero by eleven o'clock, most of them having but a few herrings, and one boat twenty crans. Notwithstand ing the unproductiveness of the season hitherto, the fishermen are looking for a successful one y e t. Next week is about the time the heavy fishing sets in upon our coast, when we trust their hopes will.be realised. NORTH SUNDERLAND.—OH the mornings of Thurs day, Friday, and Saturday last, the fishing was much the same as on the three previous days: Thursday, the highest boat had twenty trans; Friday was ra ther better, the highest having twenty-six, and, on Saturday, the highest had twenty crans. Monday morning our boats were very unsuccessful, the best could scarely count one cran. Tuesday was con siderably bttter ; highest about eighteen crans. Wed nesday the largest take was twenty-five crans, and the fishing, more general. We have had more arrivals orFren,ch luqgers, which have caused a little advance ir ; pricea, which range from Ios. , , VuNnan, AUG. 14.—The fishing has not been so general this .week as in the end of last. This does not arise from the scarcity of fish, for all agree that .that the shoal is immense, but from the great quan tity of water burn, which prevents them from mask ing. 'The take to-day was better than yesterday ; the highest boat reached about fifteen crans, but many did not exceed a barrel or twp. The number of boats and curers is now greater than it has been for years. Selling price to-day, 12s. per cran.—Berwick Ad vertiser. PILCHARD FISHERY. PORTLOE.—On Saturday last the driving boats at this place had fine catches, not less than 10,000 to a boat, and on Monday they took about the.same quan tity on an average, one b oat having upwar d s o f 11,000. The pilchards ar e very near the shore, and the seins , which are being g o t ready, w i l l b e pu t out imme diately, if the w ea th er i s favoura b le. CnARLEsTowN.—Th e dr i ft b oa t s b e l ong ing to Charlestown conti nue to take from 8,000 to 10,000 fine fish, which have been sold at 2s. per hundred. LOOE.—There has been little or nothing .done here by. the drift boats for the last fortnight. The weather has been in a very unsettled state, so that they have not been at sea more than once or twice during that time. • MOUNT'S BAY.—During the last fortnight the weather has been very stormy, and the fishing boats have not been much at sea. On Monday night, how ever, they went out, and had good catches of fine pilChards—from one to seven hogsheads each. Ves sels arrived at Penzance report having seen large quantities of pilchards not far off, and seine - 61 ?" 13 have been seen i n th e Bay during the past Week. Several seins hav e b een put in pay this week, and the prospects are considered good. ST. IVES.—The driving boats put to sea on Tues day evening, but were obliged to haul early, in con sequence of the - wind shifting to the W.N.W., and blowing hard. The pilchards taken are very fine, and are getting nearer the land.—West Briton. At the Recorder's Court, Dublin, last week, a young woman; named Fanny Langstaff, who appeared to be about twenty-four years of age, *of very interesting personal appearance, was indicted for stealing some handkerchiefs from G rangegorman-lane pr i son. ' It ap peared that on Thursday morning the prisoner was dis charged 'from 'the Penitentiary, but previous to her de parture she contrived to steal the priiperty in question. She was arrested '.133• Hilbard, one of the detective police, with the handkerchiefs in her possession. The jury found her Guilty. The Recorder said, OA looking over the mends of the court, he found that the prisoner had•been 221 tithes in gaol 120 times for being drunk, and 101 times for various other crimes. He found that out of her comparatively short life she had spent six years, five months, and four days, in prison ! There was no use in having her 'longer in this country, and therefore the sentebee of the court' was, that she be transported beyond the seas for seven years. The pri soner bowed to the court and said, "My Lord, I don't care; I have got a good education, I will turn it to some account in the country to where I ant going, and I am not afraid but I will regain my reputation and the posi tion in society from which I have been reduced—good bye, gentlemen of the police. Fanny Langstaff will yet be a lady, what she always w as I. good mother for Sydney, ho' !" She was then removed.

TIMES.—The funds to-day have been subject to some fluctuation, and the market for Consols opened this morning flat in consequence of the intelligence received from France relative to the proceedings of the Prince do Joinville in Morocco. Both fi r money and the ac count they were done at 98k, but subsequently recovered, after the Government broker made his purchase, to 9q to at which quotation they closed. The rumour of war with France is now becoming pretty general in the City, and the underwriters at Lloyd's, it has been stated, have in some cases demanded increased premiums upon the risks they have entered into, to guard against any such contingency. The English stocks certainly closed much firmer this afternoon than the aspect of affairs in the early part of the day would have led one to suppose, but altogether there is not that stability in prices which was observable a few days back. The Committee of Spanish bondholders held their meeting to-day, and we find we were right in our anti cipations that they intend to take under their considera tion the claims of every class of Spanish stockholder. They hare resolved upon an immediate :address to the Finance Minister, Senor Mon, on the subject of the long -neglected claims of the holders of both active and pas sive stock, earnestly urging the fulfilment of the decrees passed in their behalf, and a permanent arrangement for their benefit. They have likewise resolved to address M. Mauguin, the chairman of the Paris Committee, in answer to a letter received by Mr. Thornton, soliciting the London Committee's co-operation for advancing the interests of the bondholders. The third act of the Com mittee is in consequence of their having heard that the amount of the various stocks paid in for national pro perties to-the 10 of March- 1zt0,, , -bast notbeerrotrcalbt announced in the Gazette as in former instances. They have therefore requested that such notification should be made for the satisfaction of the Spanish creditors. A paper has been printed and circulated in the City, showing the progress of private enterprise in 'Ocean steam navigation, the facts in which, being presented to the eye at one glance, are interesting, though in an iso lated form they have always been accessible. The line of steam communication between England and America was established in 1838 by the Great Western steam ship, and maintained by that vessel, the British Queen, and the unfortunate President, till 1842, without the support of Government, or any contract for conveying the mails. The line to Halifax and Boston was esta blished by Mr. Cunard, on obtaining a Government contract of 57,000/ per annum to convey the mails 186,300 miles. The line to the West Indies was esta blished in 1842 by parties who, in 1840, took a contract for 240,000/. per annum to convey the mails 684,816 miles. The line to Malta and Alexandria was esta blished in 1840-41 by the Peninsula Company, who took a contract for 31,0001. per annum to convey the mails 72,000 miles. The line between Calcutta and Suez was established in 1842 by the India Steam Company of -Calcutta, but no assistance has been granted by Govern ment for the mails. The line between Calcutta and Suez in 1843 and 1844 was (and is now) occupied by the Peninsula Company's vessels, with a grant of 20,000/ per annum for five years from the Indian Go vernment, on condition of their performing 38,080 miles the first year, 57,120 miles in the second, and 114,200 in the third. SUN.—The English Stock market leaves off a little firmer, Consols being 984 g. None of the heavy securities underwent any alteration. India Stock for Account' was at 282. _ _ _ The Committee of Spanish Bondholders agreed this afternoon to address the Finance Minister at Madrid upon the subject of the claims of the Active and Passive stockholders ; also, to obtain a statement of the sales of national property since Murch last. Spanish Actives were 22* 4 ; and the Three per Cents. 33 to 33*. Bra zilian were 84 to 84k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realised tpli to 61i. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Bristol and Exeter were 10 ; Great Western, ex. div., 611 to 60i; Ditto Half, 321; Lancaster and Carlisle, i; South-Western, 45 1 8 ; Croydon, 5 1 ; Lynn and Ely, 31; Manchester and Leeds, Quarter, 8; ; Mid land, fq to 10 ; North British, Ito ; Norwich and Brandon, 91 to 10; Yarmouth and Norwich, loi; York and North Midland, Half, 18k; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, i; Paris and Lyons, 1; Paris and Rouen, 17 to 171; and Rouen and Havre, 8.1 premium.

The Cure was backed for a considerable amount at 10 to 3, 7 to 2, and .14 to 5, and on the whole decidedly for more money than Ithuriel; but so strongly was the latter fancied, that we cannot take upon ourselves to say which had the call at.the finish. Valerian was in force at 9 to 1 (no layers at the close), and was a clear point in advance of Bay Momus, whose enemies were nume rous. The Princess was backed for at least 300/. at 13 to 1 ; Red Deer at 10, 11, and 12 to 1, in moderate sums ; and Foig.a-ballagh, for about 3001, at prices ranging between 16 and 20 to .1, the smaller figure being scarcely obtainable at the close.

ADVENTURES OF A RUNAWAY WIFE.—The wife of a humble son of Cambria, residing is North Wales, lately gorgetting the solemn vows made at the hy meneal,altar) fled from the " husband of her choice," and sought, refuge in the arms of a paramour. They took up their abode in Birkenhead, end for some time lived in comparative seclusion. Anxious, however, to revisit the land of their fathers, they took advantage of the cheap summer fares, and thou were again in \Vales. The husband of the faithless one, hearing of their arrival, paid an unexpected, and rather Unwel come, visit to them in their seclusion, and the conscience-stricken villain, who had • wronged him in the most tender point, fled from 'his pre sence ; but the wife; whether conscious of her own un: Worthiness, or still swayed by passions the most vile, Would listen to no entreaties on the part of her husband to resume the paths of virtue, and she -determined to leave 'the country the following morning.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF PRUS SIA TO PORTSMOUTH. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accompanied by several of his suite and by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, arrived at the Gosport ter minus by the first train from London. Here they were received by Admiral Parker and by Major- General Sir Hercules Pakenham, the .1\ aval and Mi litary Commanders in Chief of the district (Admiral Sir Charles Rowley being absent on leave), attended by several other naval and military officers. A guard of honour from the 47th Regiment was also in atten dance, with the excellent band of that regiment. From the terminus the Prince proceeded to the Royal Clarence-yard, where the party embarked in the Ad miral's barges and crossed over to the King's-stairs at the Dock-yard. The Prussian standard was hoisted in the barge which conveyed the Prince, and was saluted by the Victory, Queen, and Excellent. After inspecting various departments of the Dock yard his Royal Highness the Prince, the Duke of Wellington, with a numerous suite of naval and mili- • tary officers, embarked on board the Comet steamer, for the purpose of going to Spithead to visit the Collingwood. Upon leaving the harbour the Prince was saluted from the parade battery while passing. A number of the yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron, the names Yacht Club, the Royal Southern, and the Royal Western Clubs, ac companied the steamer to Spithead. When the Comet neared the Collingwood the yards of the latter were manned. She had royal as well as topgallant-yards across, and looked re- Anarkably well. hen viewed. front- w r the approaching steamer. Ins:ROyal Highness took great notice of her, and expressed himself highly gratified at her ap pearance. When close under the Collingwood's stern the barges where hauled alongside the steamer, and the Prince and party were conveyed in them to the Collingwood, where they were received by the gallant Admiral whose flag she carries, Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour. Immediately the Prince arrived on board, the Prussian standard was hoisted at the Collingwood'S mast-head, and a royal salute fired from her guns. His Royal Highness was conducted through every part of this splendid ship by the gallant Admiral, and examined everything most minutely. He frequently spoke in terms of great admiration of what he wit nessed, and left the ship by no means disappointed in his previous anticipations of what he should find a British man-of-war to be. His 'Grace the Duke of Wellington appeared to be an object of as much at traction and interest to the blue jackets on board the Collingwood as the ship was to the visitors, all were anxious to get a sight of the hero of a hundred battles. The Collingwood again saluted and manned her yards upon the Prince leaving her. When the Comet re turned to the harbour, she hove-to close to the Vic tory, and the Prince and party went on board to view the ship, which forms so prominent a feature in the naval history of the country. The spot where the immortal Nelson fell mortally - wounded, in the hour of victory, was pointed out to his Royal Highness. After having inspected the ship, his Royal _Highness went up the harbour, and on board her Majesty's yacht Victoria ,and Albert. Upon going on board, and leaving the Victory, the Prince was saluted, and the yards manned. At five o'clock, the royal party returned to the Royal Clarence-yard, and proceeded to the terminus, where a special train was in readi ness to convey the Prince to Basingstoke. THE FRENCH PRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • SlR,—'Tis quite amusing to read the vapouring of sonic of the French papers, when speaking of their naval force in comparison to that of England. Your patience must be somewhat tried while wading through the empty and contemptible boasting of such papers as the Presse, Constitutionnel, National, &c. Yo doubt we have their good wishes ! which we well know how to appreciate • but, Sir, it warms the heart of an old naval officer to find the press of this country (generally speaking) ever ready to advocate and main tain our much envied position. And, Sir, it will be really doing our neighbours some service, by kindly telling them—if they are not satisfied withyour repre sentations of the fact—that at the mere nod of the Foreign Minister ten thousand additional hands will be .found ready and willing to try their skill at " boarding," as the Presse would make us fear. I should have thought the souring they had at Tra falgar, and the licking they met with at Waterloo, would have taught them better manners.—l am, Sir, yours respectful ly. A BRITISH TAR. Newman-street, Aug. 16, 1844. TRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVIES. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—As no naval officer will probably condescend to the easy task of refuting the shallow b)asting of the National, I, though a landsman, :Ind therefore, perhaps, impar congress; will undertake to question its hopes and deny its facts, not by reasoning on what the French navy may do, yet has never done . ; but by submitting to the French public —can they submit to so mortifying an undertaking ?—theperusal. of two boarding exploits, achieved w ithi n their own ports, in the face of their own blockaded fleets, by a frigate and a sloop of warexploits without parrallel in the whole of their naval records. I extract them from the works of the most impartial of our historians, Mr. James, who has obtained from Dupin himself, the jealous advocate of French honour, the praise of fairness to, our adversaries. If the writer can find anything parallel to them, or if he can deny or extenuate them, I submit to a nonsuit, and I will not seek a new trial, by appealing to the crowded catalogue of similar daring with which our history teems in every sound and sea, each creek and bay. On the 7th of July, 1800, four French frigates, lying in Dunkirk harbour, were attacked bya squad ron of small English frigates and sloops of war. The Dart, of only 30 guns, ran alongside of the Desiree, of 38 ; Lieutenant M‘Dermott, at the head o the seaman and marines, boarded on the forecastle, and carried all•before him, though severely wounded. The Desiree's cables being cut, and the French crew a second time repulsed, slip was carried over the banks, which could not have been passed half an hour later. The English lost but 10 men killed and wounded — the French 100, including all her officers. Captain Inman, the commodore, sent all the prisoners, : who were dreadfully wounded, on shore, and was thiiiiked for his humanity by Captain Castagnier. The three other frigates escaped by running away. The second boarding exploit was,, if possible, still more daring, as it was performed i n th e s i g ht o f the combined fleets of France and Spain, in Camaret Bay, near Brest. The French 20-gun ship corvette Chev rette was discovered at anchor, under heavy batte ries, a position considered perfectly secure. The 'cor vette had taken on board men to the number of 339, including soldiers, had her arms and ammunition on deck, and loaded her guns almost up to the muzzles with grape-shot. In token of defiance she had' dis played a large French ensign, above an English one. Nine boats hastened to the attack, but five of them went in chase of another vessel, and only four re mained for this desperate service, and they contained but 180 Men., Nevertheless, after a furious resistance, the corvette was carried against three-fold numbers. The victors lost 11 killed, and 57 wounded; the French, 92 seamen and soldiers killed, 162 wounded. . Whenever the French navy can show actions Such as these, it will be time to talk of their glorious vic tczies, glorious defeats, the terror of their " armcs blanches"—but not till then. P. Your most obedient servant, Brookes's, St. James's-street, August 18. P.S.—ln the war between 1793 and 1802, the French navy sustained a loss of not less than 74 line of battle ships; either taken or destroyed by us, to gether with 'l6O frigates, mounting about 12,000 pieces of cannon, taking no account of smaller ves sels, gun-boats, &c. ------ - FRENCH SINGI NO. , —The .French, always as famed fur bad.-singing as fur their superior grace and agility in the dance, were not, as vocalists, less Offensive to the taste of - *Gluck and Sacchini than to that of Rousseau' The' former of those, in; his moments of hilarity and. conv i v ial enjoyment, 'would describe the French as a I very good sort of people, :who are pa r ti a l to music, and / ow t o , hear songs in their opfras, but wh o have li 4 asked low among s i nge among them.
