The export duties on wool, which are in ft rce in the Zollverein, will be reduced by one-half for woollens destined for Belgium. " Art. 21. The import duties existing in the Zoll verein on Belgian cheeses will be reduced 50 per cent. Sheep to the amount of 15,000 will be admitted into the Zollverein free from all duty, by the customs offices to be hereafter appointed. " Art. 22. The customs duty on the importation of the wines of the Zollverein, both by sea and land, will be reduced to 50 centimes per hectolitre for wines in cask, and two francs per hectolitre for wines in bottle. Moreover, the excise duty now ex isting on the same wines will be reduced 25 per cent. The actual import duty existing in Belgium on silk tissues of the Zollverein will be reduced 25 per cent. Pending the present treaty, the customs and excise duties thus reduced cannot be increased ; and it is understood that the wines and silks of any other origin than those of the Zollverein cannot be subject in Belgium to any more favourable duties than those respectively applied to the wines and silks of the Zollverein. Art. 23. The exports from Belgium of bark for tanning, by the custom-houses of Jalhay, Petit Hear, and Francorchamps, will take place at a duty of 6 per cent. ad valorem. Art. 24. The stuffs of Nuremberg comprised in the Belgian tariff under the category of haberdashery will be separately closed in this tariff at 5 per cent. ad valorem. The import duties into Belgium upon articles of mode from the Zollverein will be fixed at 10 per cent. ad valorem, as determined by the Belgian tariff before the decree of July 14, 1843. Working iron and steel tools, the products of the Zollverein, shall not on entering Belgium be subjected to higher duties than the present ones. The same regulation applies to cotton stuffs of all kinds from the same States. Mineral water of the Zollverein is exempt from all duties on entering Belgium. " Art. 25. Belgium shall continue to admit, at a duty of 5 centimes per 100 kilos., Westphalian or Brunswick thread, until the quantity of 250,000 kilogrammes has been admitted per year. " Art. 26. The law of June 6, 1839, concerning the commercial relations of Belgium with the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg remains in statu quo. " Art. 27. Irorder to favour the commercial rela tions of, and the transit operations between, the States of the two high contracting parties, they re ciprocally promise to render the communication by their land frontiers as easy, quick, and economical as possible. Should precautionary measures be judged necessary on either side, to prevent or repress abuses, they shall be combined in such manner that neither the facility nor the cheapness of the transits towards either territory shall be altered for the worse. " Art. 28. The two high contracting parties reserve to themselves the power of determining hereafter, by mutual accord, the measures to be adopted in ordk r to repress the Custom-house frauds upon the frontier which separates Belgium from the Zollverein. The Belgian Government undertakes to put into force immediately proper measures (by virtue of the 178th and following articles of the law of August 26, 1822, and the 13th and following articles of the law of April the 6th, 1843) to suppress the depots men tioned in the above quoted laws. In return, the Prussian Government undertakes to repress as much as possible all frauds which may be practised to the detriment ofßelgium on the Belgico-Rhenish frontier. " Art. 29. Every German State in connexion with the Zollverein shall be considered one of the contract ing parties to the present treaty. " Art. 30. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Brussels within fifty days, or sooner, if possible. The Belgian Government undertakes, within ten days of tho signing of the treaty, to put into force the arrangements of the Ist, 3d, and 22d articles. The treaty will be in force during six years, commencing the 6th of January, 1845. Nevertheless, the two high contracting parties may, by mutual consent, carry it into effect before that period. Should neither of the high contracting parties, within the six months preceding the expira tion of the above six years, declare officially its in tention to dissolve the treaty, it will remain in force beyond that term, and so on, from year to year.

Mr Cub:tt has further stated that this line is also the most fa.. vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti mate of 900,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking, including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of the railway, The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par liament that the traffic will yield a return of S per cent, to the share_ holders. After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of payment until the line is opened for traffic. The Parliamentary plans will be completed in time for depOsit, so that application may be made to Parliament for the Act flext session.

Hydes and Tymbs, The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford.on- Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public' accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming. ham Railway at Euston square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif ficulties. Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment. Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—Messrs.

GOOD FURNITURE AT MODERATE P RICES. THOMAS FOX, 93, Bishopsgate-street, Within, respectfully invites the Public to inspect the stock of CABINET and UPHOLSTERY FURNITURE and BEDDING, at his cstal,lishment, consisting of every requisite for the Mansion or Cottage, of a quality, fashion, material, and workmanship , not to be surpassed, and offered at prices scarcely exceeding those commonly charged for showy but unsubstantial furniture. Also, a most complete and beautiful collection of Chimney, Pier, and Console Glasses, Decorative Painting, Paper-hangings, and other Ornamental Embellishments, at the most moderate and rea sonable prices. Parties requiring really good articles, will find at Thomas Fox's a stock so extensive and various as to afford every facility for advan tageous selection, at prices as low as are possibly compatible with first-rate quality. 93, Bishopsgate-street " That in the opinion of this meeting, every man signing a bill, bond, or other security, is under all circumstances liable for the payment thereof; therefore, any legal expenses which may be in curred for the recovery of the same, is attributable to the debtor and not to the creditor." " That the expression of public sympathy with a man who enters into a liability and repudiates the payment thereof, is discreditable to a commercial community, and dangerous to the existence of pub_ lie faith."

FDWARD PRICE and CO. beg re s p ec tf u ll y to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask In the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, amid are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkeuwell. ,t RIERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO LA.

"We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

On the 19th, the ratifications of the treaty of com merce and of navigation, concluded on the Ist of Sep tember, between Belgium and the German Zollve rein, were exchanged at the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Brussels.

Ships belonging to Belgium, which shall enter with ballast or cargoes into the ports of Prussia, or into one of the ports of the other States of the Zoll verein, or which shall leave them ; and on the other side, ships belonging to Prussia, or to one of the States of the Zollverein, which shall enter, either with ballast or cargoes, into the ports of Belgium, or leave the same, whatever may be the place of their departure or their destination, shall, with respect to tonnage, flag, port, pilot, anchorage, lighthouse, sluice canal, quarantine, salvage, brokerage, and other duties or charges of whatever nature or deno mination they may be (imposed in the name, and to the profit of Government, of public functionaries, of communes, or of any establishment whatever), be subjected only to such duties which are at present, or which may hereafter be, imposed on the national ships, at their entrance into and during their stay in those ports, or at their departure therefrom "Art. 2. For whatever concerns the destination of ships, their loading and unloading in the ports, roads, harbours, and basins, and generally for all formalities and dispositions whatsoever, to which vessels of com merce, their crews, and their cargoes, may be sub jected, it is equally agreed upon that no privilege or favour will be granted to the national ships which shall not be extended to those of the other party, the wish of the two high contracting parties being that, in this respect also, their vessels should be treated on the basis of perfect equality. " Art. 3. The repayment by Belgium of the duty imposed on the navigation of the Scheldt, by the Government of the Netherlands (by virtue of the third paragraph of the 9th article of the treaty of the 19th of April, 1839), is guaranteed to the ships of the states of the Zollverein. " Art. 4. All the products and other objects of commerce, the importation and exportation of which may legally take place in the states of the high con tracting parties by means of national vessels, may be equally imported or exported therefrom by ships be longing to either contracting parties. Merchandise imported into the port of Belgium and the Zollverein by vessels belonging to either side, may be destined to be used there, to be passed through, or to be re exported, or to be put into bond (entrepot), at the will of the proprietor or his agents, on the same conditions, and without being subjected to heavier duties of warehousing, custody, or such like, than those to which merchandise brought by national ves sels are subjected. " Art. 5. Merchandise of all kinds, without dis tinction as to the place from which it comes, imported directly from the ports of Belgium into those of the Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as merchandise which may be directly imported from the ports of the Zollverein into those of Belgium, by vessels be longing to one of the states of the Zollverein, shall not in the respective ports pay other or stronger entrance or exit duties, or undergo any other for malities than those to which national vessels are sub ject when such imports are made by them. The same regulation will remain for merchandise of all kinds exported from the ports of the Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as for those which may be exported from the ports of Belgium by ships of the Zollverein, whatever may be their destination.

The cargoes of the ships of the Zollverein imported into Belgium by indirect naviga tion, being submitted to differential duties, the Bel gian vessels which shall import into the ports of the Zollverein cargoes shipped in a port belonging neither to Belgium nor the Zollverein, shall pay an extraor dinary flag duty not exceeding the half of the actual tariff of that duty. " This stipulation will remain in force until the Ist of January, 1848, and beyond that term during the continuance of the present treaty, if, at the afore said term, one or other of the high contracting par ties shall not totally change its system of legislation concerning navigation. In this latter case, the high contracting parties will consider the means of recon ciling the stipulation of the first section of the pre sent article with the modifications which may be in troduced therein. " Art. 6. The productions of the soil and of the in dustry of the Zollverein, shipped at the ports situ ated at the mouths of the rivers from the Elbe to the Meuse (those two included) on vessels of the Zollve rein, and imported directly into Belgian ports, shall be treated in the latter as if they came directly from a port of the Zollverein. "In return, the productions of the soil and of the industry of Belgium, shipped in Belgian vessels in the port of the Meuse, and those imported direct into the ports of the Zollverein, shall be treated in the latter as if they came direct from a Belgian port. "Moreover, the productions of the soil, and of the industry of the Zollverein, conveyed by vessels of the Zollverein, either direct or from ports assimilated to those of the Zollverein, and designated in the second aragraph, shall, at their subsequent importation into Belgium, be treated as if they were imported direct, and under the flag of the Zollverein into Belgian ports. Likewise the productions of the soil and of the industry of Belgium, conveyed in Belgian vessels, either direct or from the assimilated ports of the Meuse, into the assimilated ports from the Elbe to the Meuse, shall be treated at the time of their sub sequent importation into the Zollverein as if they were imported direct and under the Belgian flag into a port of the Zollverein. The two high contracting parties reserve to themselves the:power of determining, with a common accord, the proofs of which are to be furnished in order to certify the origin of the wares, as far as such proofs will be requisite. "Art. 7. The premiums, repayment of duties, or other advantages of that kind, which are or which may be granted in the states of one of the high con tracting parties to the national vessels or their car goes, shall be equally granted, either to the vessels of the other party, or to the wares imported direct from the one country into another by ships of either side, or exported for any destination whatsoever. Never theless, an exception must be made to the preceding, and to the stipulations of the first and fourth Ttiei es, in whatever Concerns the advantages of which the productions of the national fishery and the commerce of salt are or may be the objects. " Art. 8. The subjects of each of the two contract ing parties will conform, in whatever regards the ex ercise of internal communication, to the laws which regulate at present, or which may hereafter regulate, this matter in any of the States of the contracting parties. "Art. 9. The ships of Belgium entering into one of the ports of the Zo'lvo-tin, and the ships of the Zollve rein entering into one of the ports of Belgium, being desirous of embarking only a part of their cargoes, may (under a due observance of the laws and regulations of the two high contracting parties) keep on board a part of the cargo which may be destined for another port, either of the same country or another, and re export it, without being obliged to pay for that part of the cargo any custom dues, except those of custody. " Art. 10. The ships of one of the two high con tracting parties, when forced to seek shelter in one of the ports of the other, shall not pay there, either for the ship or the cargo, any other duties except those to which native ones are subjected to in the same case, provided that the necessity for seeking such shelter be legally proved; that, moreover, these vessels transact no business, and that they do not stop longer in the port than necessity requires. " Art. 11. In case a vessel belonging to the States of one of the high contracting parties should be stranded or wrecked on the coasts of the other, all aid and assistance will be given to the captain and the crew with respect to their persons, the ship, and the cargo. The operations relative to salvage will take place conformably to the laws of the country, and no heavier salvage dues will be paid than those to which native vessels would be subjected in a simi lar case. The merchandise saved will not be subject to any duty unless they be admitted for the purposes of consumption or use. " Art. 12. The preceding stipulations (the Ist, 2d, 4th, sth, 6th, ith, Bth, and 9th) apply to the naviga tion, both maritime and fluvial ; so that nominally, with respect to the customs duties and those of navi gation (imposed either on ships or on cargoes), to the duties en patents, as well as to all other duties or charges of whatsoever nature or denomination, the vessels belonging to the other contracting party can not be subjected to any other or heavier duties than those which are imposed on national ships. " Art. 13. The respective Consuls may arrest, send on board again, or into their own country, any sailors who may have deserted the ships of their nation. They shall, therefore, apply by writing to the com petent local authorities, and prove, by the exhibition of the orginal register of the ship or of the crew, or by a duly certified copy, or by other official docu ments, that the individuals claimed formed part of the said crew. Upon su c h a d eman d , the deserters must be given up, in the search aft e r an d i n th e arrest o f whom every aid will be given. They shall be even detained and guarded in the guard-houses of the country, on the demand and at the expense of the Consuls, until those functionaries have found an oppor tunity to send them off. If, nevertheless, this oppor tunity shall not present itself within three months, counting from the day of the arrest, the deserters shall be set at liberty, and shall not be arrested upon the same charge. " Art. 14. If any one of the high contracting par ties grants subsequently to another State any parti cular favour relating to navigation, this favour shall become common to the other party, who shall enjoy it gratuitously, if the concession be gratuitous, or by giving the same compensation if the favour be con ceded conditionally. " Art. 15. Those vessels will be considered as ships of Belgium or of the Zollverein which shall be con sidered such in the States to which they belong, con formably with the laws and regulations in vigour. It is, nevertheless, understood that the commanders of vessels shall prove their nationality by marine letters, transmitted in the prescribed forms, and signed by the competent authorities of the country to which the ship belongs ; and that, on one side, the mates or captains on the Meuse or Scheldt, and, on the other side, those of the Necker, the Maine, the Moselle, and the Rhine, must prove their right to the naviga tion of the rivers belonging to the other contracting party. " Art. 16. There shall be full and entire liberty of commerce between the subjects of the two high con tracting parties, in this sense--that the same facilities, security, and protection which the natives enjoy be guaranteed on both sides. In consequence, the re spective subjects shall not pay in consequence of their commerce or industry, in any ports, cities, or places whatever of the two high contracting parties, whether they establish themselves there, or only reside tempo rarily, any duties, taxes, or imposts, except those which are imposed on natives; and the privileges, immunities, and other favours which one of the high contracting parties enjoys in matters of commerce or industry, shall be common to those of the other. The tax for commercial travellers which is imposed on both sides shall be reduced by each to a uniform tax, which shall be mutually agreed upon. " Art. 17. The transit of merchandise coming from or going to Belgium, and passing by the undermen tioned territories of the Zollverein, shall be submitted, as a maximum, to the following duties : " Ist. The transit duty must not exceed a half sil bergros per quintal (zoll centner) upon all merchan dise arriving at Cologne by the Belgico-Rhenish railway, and exported from that city into the terri tory of the Zollverein by the Rhine. Vice versa, all merchandise which, after having entered by the Rhine on the territory of the Zollverein, by Emnerich and Neuburg, and after having arrived at Cologne by vessels, are exported thence by Aix-la-Chapelle and the Belgico-Rhenish railway►, must not be subjected to a higher duty than a half silbergros per quintal. " 2d. The transit duty is reduced to a half silber gros per quintal with regard to all the roads parting from the Belgium frontier and traversing the terri tory of the Zollverein on the left side of the Rhine, in order to stop at the Rhenish ports, and vice versa. " The transit duty will be reduced to a half silber gros per quintal with regard to the roads which go from Belgium into France, from Belgium into the Netherlands, and from Belgium into Belgium by traversing the territory of the Zollverein. " 4th. The transit duty is also reduced to a half silbergros per quintal, with respect to the roads from Belgium to the territory of the Zollverein, and which continue by the German frontier from Sarrebruck to Mittenwald inclusively, and vice versa. "sth. The transit duty will be reduced to 10 sil bergros per quintal with respect to the roads which traverse the territory of the Zollverein, and which issue by the frontier between Mittenwald and the Danube inclusively. The transit duty existing on the following objects, viz., cotton stuffs, new clothes, leather and leathern articles, wools, threads, and woollen stuffs, will only be reduced at present to 15 silbergros by the roads designated in the tariff of the Zollverein, 3d division, 2d section. " Art. 18. The liberty of transit by Belgium is maintained, with removal of every duty for transit by the Belgian railway, as well for merchandise coming from the States of the Zollverein as for merchandise going there, on the terms of the arrangement actually in vigour. The exemption from duty in Belgium of cloths, kerseymeres, and similar articles, forwarded by the railway, is extended to the transit of those ob jects by any other way. The transit duty on slates coming from the Zollverein, entering Belgium by the custom-houses, and leaving it by the custom-houses opened for transits, on the frontier which separates Belgium from the Zollverein, shall be reduced to fifteen centimes per 100 francs ad valorem, or to twenty-five centimes per 100 kilogrammes, at the option of the party interested. The transit of bark for tanning, from the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the States of the Zollverein by Belgium, shall be exempt from all duty by the custom-house which may be mutually designated. " Art. 19. Iron of Belgian origin, entering into the States of the Zollverein by the land frontier, between the two countries, will be admitted on the following terms : " Ist. Iron, designated under the letter Ain the tariff of the Zollverein (cast or wrought iron, &c.) with a reduction of fifty per cent. on the general duty of ten silbergros, which was enforced from Sep tember 1, 1844. " 2d. Iron, designated under the letter B of that tariff, at the duty of one thaler 7 silbergros per quintal (centner) ; that is to say, with a reduction of fifty per cent. on the augmentation of the duties esta blished from the Ist of September, 1844. " 3d. Other kinds of iron, wrought or not, iron works of all kinds, comprised in the succeeding cata- gor i es tariff. o I thef sam e i s tariff; at understood h the generaltati f the d uties fixed by that entrance duties on the different classes of iron and of iron works should be increased, such increase, during the con tinuance of the present treaty, shall not be extended to Belgian produce of that kind ; and that if, on the contrary, the duties should be reduced, that reduc tion shall apply to the said articles, so that the Bel gian productions may preserve the same advantage on iron included in the first and second categories, and the equality of the conditions of imptoertaztoionnv wrought or cast iron of the other categories. Never thelesss, if by reductions in the tariff importations for of fihversilberg it should happen that the advantages of and of seven and a half with respect to the class A, silbergros with respect to class B, f should only silbergros f a a b v o o N n e r realised ßelgian in iro d n esc d e e n s d i desig in nated tariff anterior to those kinds of under o the general September . 1, 1844, then the two high contracting parties shall come to an agreement FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. The discovery of a forgery of Bank of England notes has created great excitement among all who are acquainted with it, as there is every probability of the fraud having been carried on to a most alarm ing extent. The notes discovered to be forgeries are all for 100/., and all of them, it seems, are dated the sth of December, 1843, and one marked with the letters " E Y ," although their numbers are different, as if they formed part of a series. The paper on which they are printed distinguishes this from all similar attempts that have been knout n for some years. In the ordinary forgeries of Si. notes, the water-mark has been copied on a wooden block, and a mark, snfficiently like the ordinary water-mark to deceive the unpractised eye, has been mad e on th e false note by intense pressure. In these 1001. notes, on the other hand, there is a real water-mark, such as could only have been obtained by manufacturing paper expressly for that purpose. The parties who have seen the notes declare that they are such excellent imitations, that none but experienced inspectors of the Bank of England could detect the forgery, and even those only by the most careful examination. As far as can be learned at present, it seems that the perpetrators of the fraud selected the foreign Bourses as the places where they should give circu lation to their forgeries. The notes already dis covered have come from Belgium and Antwerp; and it is said that a real note, bearing the same date and letters as the forgeries, and now in the possession of the Bank of England, can be proved to have travelled to Paris. The supposition is, that this note, which was paid into the Bank of England as far back as last June, is the original, according to which the for geries were made as copies. Therefore, it is far front improbable that the paper was made, and the plate engraved, at Paris The whole amount of the notes already discovered is less than 1,0001., but there is no reason to believe that this is the whole extent of the fraud. If the forgeries were copied from the note now in the Bank of England, there has been sufficient time to issue a great number of them, and it is hardly to be expected that so much pains would have been taken for the sake of a limited amount. The foreign Bourses are notorious for the facility with which stolen Bank of England notes are circulated, and considering the absence of immediate check, it is obvious that the facilities for circulating forged notes may be equally great. Every caution, therefore, should b e used by merchants and all whose business requires them tt) receive remittances from the continent, for it is evi dent that a party has been at work whose acts it requires the greatest vigilance and acuteness to de tect.— Times. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 23.—Prior to the departure of her Majesty from Osborne House on Monday, we are informed she signified her intention, should the present favourable weather continue, of returning on the 29fh inst., with the royal infants, to remain ten days. The Firebrand, 8, steam-frigate, Captain A. L. Corry, with the brigs Daring, 12, Commander Matson ; , Mu tine, 12, Commander Crawford ; E s pi eg l e , 12, Comman -1 I der Thompson ; Osprey, 12, C omman d er P atten ; Fly . ingfish, 12, Commander Harris; Pantaloon, 10, Com mander Wilson; Waterwitch, 10, Commander Birch ; and Cruiser, 16, Commander Fanshawe; forming the experimental squadron, got under way, and left Spithead at seven o'clock yesterday morning. The weather was very thick and foggy. The line-of-battle ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain the Right lion. the Earl of Hardwicke (who arrived front London late last night, and embarked at half-past five o'clock this morning, superseding Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, recently appointed to this noble ship); Cale donia, 120, Captain Milne, flag of Rear Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the squadron; and Queen, 110, Captain Martin, got under way this morning at six o'clock, and left Spithead with a N.N , : E. wind. The Queen was the first under way. !he weather was very thick and foggy, so dense that . the splendid sight of the three ships under way was invisible from the shore. After the li ne-of-battle ships had sailed some hours, at about half-past ten, .dispatches were re ceived from the Admiralty, containing orders for th e Commander-in - Chief , Rear-Admiral W. Bowles, conse quently the Comet steamer - sloop , Lieut.-Command er Pretyman, was put in requisition, and started after the squadron, full steam, with the said dispatches. The flag of Admiral Sir C. Rowley (white at the main) was struck last evening at sunset, on board the St. Vin cent, and rehoisted on board the Excellent gunnery ship, Captain Sir I'. Hastings. The Menelaus lazaretto arrived yesterday at the Mo therbank, in tow of the Monkey and African steam vessels, from Chatham. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Stephens, which arrived on Saturday from Sheerness, with supernumeraries, re turned on Sunday evening. The Notley, 8, tender to Admiral Sir David Milne, at I)evonport, having disembarked supernumeraries for the squadron, sailed on her return on Sunday. The General Palmer transport, Lieut. Wooldridge, agent, which arrived on Friday from the West Indies, having on board returned naval stores and military inva lids, has gone round to Chatham to disembark them. The Swiftsure hulk, 74, is still in the mud up tha harbour. Captain Sir T. Hastings, of the Excellent, is at Devon port, surveying, with other skilful officers, the most fa vourable sites for the erection of fortifications. It is generally expected that the Earl of Glasgow will be appointed to the situation of Lord-Lieutenant of Renfrewslaire, vacant by the death of Mr. Speirs.
