In the reply of Sir ROBERT PEEL on Thursday af ternoon to the questions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Mr. Mosses DUNCOMBE, we are bound to as sume that the Premier stated with perfect sincerity his conviction that the French and English Govern ments had arrived at an amicable adjustment of the causes of offence—the somewhat threatening differ ence.; of opinion —which had arisen between them in connexion with the affair at Otaheite, and the bombardment of Tangiers and Mogadore. But as the Right lion. Baronet absolutely declined to enter into any particulars of the terms or conditions on which our neighbours have consented to give us satisfaction for what he has himself denounced as " a gross out rage," in the Otaheite affairs, we have no better guarantee for the fact than his own impressions of the cordiality and frankness of the French Cabinet. We may be allowed, therefore, to return to the con sideration of the existing state of our navy, as if all hazard of a contingency that might call, abruptly and soon, for its efficient services, were not, of neces sity, concluded by the convictions so avowed by Sir ROBERT PEEL. In doing this we shall not appear to impugn the good faith of the French Ministry, but we shall act on the strength of the old maxim, that " the timeliest wisdom is the best." Now, we desire to direct the attention of the public—(for all appeals to the intervention of the official and Executive autho rities on this topic have hitherto proved unavailing)— to the disgraceful manning of our ships, and the in evitable tendencies of the system at present pursued by the Admiralty, to increase and aggravate the dis organisation of her MAJEsTx's navy. Some of our readers may object to the frequency with which we recur to this topic; but a sense of its vital impor tance and our own duty compel us to this proceeding, and we have no doubt will be found justify us in acting on that impulse. And it is evident that, of all the objects of a policy of precaution and foresight, the efficient manning of our ships of war is precisely that on which, "to be wise after the event," must con stitute the most ridiculous as well as the most pitiable —the most deplorable as well as the most absurd—of predicaments. To set about making provision for the proper manning of ships after they should have been actually sacrificed, or too disabled to carry their ade quate complements from the weakness of their crews, would exceed in ex post facto impotency the late sagacity of him who carefully affixed a lock upon his stable-door after his steed had been already carried off for want of one. It is to be remembered that France is neither the only, nor the most formidable, competitor with which, in an event that we put, for out present purpose, quite hypothetically, our navy would have to contend. We lately showed that, excepting one or two line-of battle ships, and a frigate or so on the coast of South America and on the 'West India station, one other in the Pacific, and, we believe, a few frigates of the larger and smaller class in the Chinese seas and the Indian Ocean, our force in line-of-battle ships was miserably deficient, assuming them even to be fully manned. Their total is soon reckoned. At Lisbon, the Caledonia, 120 guns—but she ought to be the slag-ship of the Admiral in command at Plymouth! On the coast of Morocco, the Albion, 90; in the Mediterranean, the Formidable, 80. Besides these three abroad, we have at Portsmouth, the Queen, 110—but she ought to be at Sheerness, where she ,hould be bearing the Port-Admiral's flag ; at Ply mouth, the St. Vincent, 120—but she ought to be the flag-ship of the Admiral at Portsmouth. At Chatham and Sheerness, none ; at Spithead, the noble flag-ship, Collingwood, 80—but she has taken out what the de nizen's of the Queen's Bench Prison used to call a " rule "—and although returned in the naval muster roll as one of the home-station flag-ships, she is making a little run presently for the Pacific. Thus we have, for Europe, cis et citra the Straits, three line-of battle ships in commission ; at home, six ; whereof one—the Queen, doing duty for Chatham, Sheer ness, and Portsmouth, all at once, has but half of her proper crew ! A Correspondent of the Times, who signs himself " Tom Tough," in a well-written letter, illustrates the system of bungling, improvidence, and invidiousness on which, what we shall take leave to call, the business of dispersing, discouraging, and disgust ing the seaman force of our navy, is carried on. This sailor complains as one of those suddenly thrown out of employ by late reductions in the navy, that, for the last three months, from 500 to 600 prime seamen (" able men," in the technical as well as ordinary sense of the phrase), have been starving about the purlieus of Portsmouth, vainly awaiting the commis sioning of the experimental brigs ;—that numbers of others who have been, all their lives men of wars , men, after pawning all they had for mere subsistence, have been compelled to go into the merchants' ser vice, not a few into that of America. Let us pause, here, to consider the hardship to which this great, but ungrateful naval country, subjects those brave fellows, from whose undaunted intrepidity and never-tiring energy she derives so great a portion of her grandeur and power in the array of nations. The very zeal they display in her service, their matchless activity, coolness, and resolution in the discharge of their professional duty, by expediting the achievement of victory, if engaged on war duty, or the completion )f any given service assigned to them in time of peace—work to their own disadvantage. They are paid off with a rapidity proportioned to the vigour of their operations; and then, too much after the fashion idopted with those whom Byron calls ' The tools, the broken tools, which tyrants cast away," they are left uncared for—unprotected against those only dangers, the dangers of being ashore, against which they know not how to defend themselves—un provided for against the wretched destitution of that period at which their confirmed habits of a sea life, and :heir ignorance of all others, leave them the despoiled and helpless prey of all the arts wherewith the most nefarious fraud and wholesale dissipation, surround old overwhelm and ruin them in the first days of their inaction on shore. Why should we not provide isylums and a moderate sort of half-pay for these iine fellows, and thus accomplish at once the two in valuable ends of saving them from those sensual and legrading habits into which, at present, they are apt :o plunge with a sort of reckless desperation--in the very despair of doing any good for themselves, or find ing themselves better off by abstaining from them ; —and of having always in hand as it were—at our call—in any emergency—a permanent reserve of able men, from whom certain proportions might be drafted into our ships of war, and incorporated with a sufli -.!ient number of newer or younger hands to com plete their respective compliments ? The very ex pense, even, of such a scheme, would scarcely exceed that entailed by our present clumsy, impolitic, and inadequate modes of advertising, bounty-giving rimping, sending round steamers to pick men up in mtports—and, worst of all, occasional impress inent. But the result would be to get able hands Instead of raw landsmen—expert sailors, accustome I handle great guns as well as sails—and to render i.he service so popular and desirable, that every un imployed able hand should be volunteering to enter in the first vacancy which might offer. In this way we should assuredly revive the enthusiasm of the orce (which was only equalled by its never-failing taring), that imparted their brightest lustre to the laurels of DUNCAN, and ST. VINCENT, and NELSON. We should hear no more of British seamen fighting under other colours than those of their native country, or that country wants but one tie more irrevocably to attach the bravest of her sons to her ser vice and h er v i n di cat i on, an d t h at i s, the ,nsuring, not alone, for their old age, or for she physical disability, resulting from wounds and Injuries sustained in her cause, but for those seasons i f e e e nf , someorced certain,and reluctant though p r f o r v o i m s i n ac f t o i r y e theirs er - subsistence. The charge upon the country for such provision ought not of itself to stand in the way of the adoption of some such plan ; for, in the meanwhile what are the dangers we are incurring in the absence' u f any such arrangements ? The writer we have quoted from above, remarks, on the entry of 100 sea nen on the dockyard-books, in lieu of 100 labourers, that good seamen, accustomed to an active life and ever-changing scenes, would soon grow weary of such occupation as this plan opens to them. He says that no able seaman worth having will respond to the invitation now promulgated to them, to enter on board , the flag-ships of the Admiral superintendents; for sailors like to know something of the captain they are to sail under. But these facts are also fearfully significant. He talks of the "number of seamen now strolling about the streets of Portsmouth, who have pawned everything they have rather than do so, and, by and bye, when the Admiralty take it into their wise heads to com mission some ships, these fine old men-of-war's men will be refused because their kit is not complete, and they hare not got a good change of clothing." . . . " Some years ago, out of twenty-six able seamen who were paid off from a brig at this port with me, nine teen left the port for New York, unable to get another ship, and are now in the American navy. This is the way, after John Bull has been put to the expense of making sailors, they are treated; and it is a proof of the badness of the system, and the utter disregard that the Government has for them whc,n they no longer want their services." We ask, how the Admiralty propose to get any respectable squadron, if they had one in commission, efficiently manned, under their present pedlarising and stop-gap system ? They know the thing to be impossible. What will they do, then, to secure an object, the immeasurable importance of which has just been demonstrated by the very dangers to which their antiquated management would have been so utterly unequal ? We have weathered the Otaheite gale. We have worked out of the storm that so nearly overtook us at Tangiers and at ➢logadore. If our Admiralty are not instantly up and doing, we may be overtaken, in our present unprepared state, in a tempest blowing from the direction of Tunis. The decision of the House of Lords in the case of the "Irish conspirators" —as they have been called for the last six months—will, we trust, go far to re move the notion so long entertained in Ireland, that that country had nothing to expect from the justice of England. The highest Court of Judicature in the Empire has now proved to demonstration that this notion is an unfounded one. Justice has been done to Ireland, and common sense asserted its supremacy by the unconditional release of men who ought never to have been found guilty. The news of the decision of the House of Lords occasioned a great sensation throughout Dublin the instant it reached that city; the decision was evidently an unexpected one, and in their first surprise people seemed scarcely to know whether they were justified in giving credit to it or not. By this time the auspicious intelligence must be generally diffused throughout the sister country; and are we indulging in too favourable an anticipation, if we say that it is likely to moderate much of the ill-feeling and distrust that of late years Ireland has expressed so decidedly towards England ? Whether it will have that effect or not, we cannot undertake to say with confidence ; but we hope it will, and moreover we hope that it will tend in some degree to check the pro gress of the Repeal question, by convincing Irishmen of all classes that England is by no means such an inve terate enemy to their natural interests as they had imagined. Meanwhile, in what light will Mr. O'CoN NELL regard this important decision, which unbars the gates of the Richmond Penitentiary, and leaves him free once again to rove with his gun and his dogs over the mountain steeps of Derrinane, or listen—to use his own favourite poetic phrase— to " the murmur of the Atlantic wave that rolls in unbroken from the free coast of America." Will he regard the decision with lofty indifference, or with eager exultation ? Will he be stimulated by it to make fresh exertions in the cause of Repeal, or will he quietly lay by for a while, watch the progress of events, and be guided by circumstances, ready to renew his agitation the in stant he discovers that nothing is to be hoped for Ireland at the hands of the Conservative Ministry ? If he be wise, the latter is the course he will adopt, for Government has already led people to believe that, during the recess, they will be busy with some reme dial measures for Ireland, which they will take the earliest opportunity of bringing forward next session ; and it would be scarcely just or fitting —notwith standing that they have been so tardy in coming to some determination on this point —to which, by the bye, they have been brought evidently less from in clination than from the pressure of inexorable ne cessity ; it would scarcely, we say, be just or fit ting in Mr. O'CONNELL to throw any obstacles in the way of Government's remedial measures by con tinuing the vigorous agitation of the Repeal question By so doing, he will not only in some degree he crippling the movements of Ministers, but be fur nishing them also with an excellent plea for backing out of their projected remedies, in case—as is by no means impossible—they should be smitten with a sudden fit of decided Toryism. The most prudent game that Mr. O'CommEnn can play at the present juncture, is to rest quietly on his oars, and vigilantly watch the direction that events are taking. If these— notwithstanding the conciliatory announcement o Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the close of the last ses• sion—be unequivocally adverse to Irish interests ; if it be made undeniably manifest that Ministers can do nothing, and will do nothing for the welfare of the sister country, then it will be time enough to renew the agitation for Repeal—an agitation which is only justifiable when it is shown to be the last re- source of national despair. But to agitate that ques tion just now, when the Ministerial plans are incom. plete, and may possibly, when matured, turn ou to be much more efficient than was anti cipated—what is this but t o refuse __ fair play to Government, and in some degree to incapacitate them from satisfactorily accomplishing that which, nevertheless, you most wish they should accomplish ? By delaying the agitation of Repeal for a season, Mr. O ' CONNELL deprives Ministers of every plausible pretext of backing out of their reme dial projects; he gives them an opportunity of show ing their faith by their works, and at the same time he satisfies that love of fair play which is a conspi cuous feature in the English character. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received. According to letters of the 17th of August, some of them received at Gibraltar from Oran, the Moors were again assembling an army on the frontiers, near the camp of Marshal BuGEAuD, who, it is said, had ordered fresh reinforcements to join him from Oran. This, however, is very improbable. Intelligence from Cadiz to the 26th had reached Madrid, but no men tion is made of the Prince de JOINVILLE and the French squadron. We are therefore to infer that a paragraph which appears in some of the Paris jour nals, announcing the Prince's arrival ttiere on the 24th, is incorrect. Madrid Bourse on the 30th.—Three per Cents. 27; for account, 60 days ; Five per Cents. 19i for ac count, 15 days. Intelligence of the acquittal of Mr. O'CONNELL and his fellow-prisoners was received in Paris by telegraphic dispatch, on Thursday, and excited uni versal joy. The Speech of the QUEEN, and the result of the deliberation in the Cabinet Council on the Otaheite affair, were looked to with much interest. The article put forth by the Times of Tuesday, an nouncing the probable settlement of the misunder standing between the two countries, had been re ceived by only one journal ; and, as far as we can learn, had given much satisfaction to the friends of peace. Whether the manner in which the affair has been arranged will please the war party, is another matter. All the articles in the Opposition, and some of the Government journals on Tuesday, were written in the belief that the ultimatum of the French Government would be rejected. The Globe, M. GUIZOT'S paper, is an exception, and contains an article which leaves no doubt that it had received some communications which could be depended on. That journal says : " Our readers know that we have never ceased to believe, not only in the preservation of peace between France and England, but also in the maintenance of good harmony and a cordial understanding between the two Governments. We still have the same confidence, and, indeed, adhere to it more firmly than ever. As the question becomes stripped of its extraneous complica tions, in proportion as the men who have to resolve it are relieved from the pressure made upon them by the Chambers and the journals, they have drawn nearer to a mutual understanding, and daily made steps to concilia tion ; and, we venture to say, that the incident which has so much occupied the public mind is on the point of receiving that solution which is so earnestly desired by all the friends of order and peace in both countries. We are bound to congratulate the two Governments on the good sense they have shown in suffering themselves to be guided, not by an exaggeration of the point of honour, but by a calm, i n t e lli gen t, an d e l ev ated ap preciation o f th e ser i ous i nterests of two great nat i ons , in whose co ncor d i s i nvo l ve d the peace of t h e wor ld.

The Post blamer us for reproaching Lord LANGDALB because he die not support his party, and thereby infers that we re garded the opinions of Lords DENMAN, CO,rENIIAM , and CAMPBELL, as given for party motives. I. would be diff icu l t to find more conscientious and up right men th an these three Noble Lords, even among the exemplary bench of England. We believed that they gave their judgment from the strongest conviction that they were right, and their unanswerable arguments bear us out in thf statement. Our reason for blaming Lord LANG DALE was this. lie knew well that a majority of the House of Lords were hostile to AL*. O'Comssi.r. : he knew that if the questions at issue came to a ge neral vote, the Tory votes would prevail; yet h( neither lent his powerful talents nor his vote to avert such a calamity. The man who asserts that it would not have become a party question but for the inter position of Lord WHAENCLIFFE, requires no answer. The Tory Peers on the benches numbered two to one compared with their opponents. Several of them, who had not heard the arguments, and knew as litth about the points at issue as the man in tilt moon, cried out, " Not content." Fortunately, thf discretion of the Government, which the Post hates more than it hated the old Whigs, saved the character of the House, and for once did Justice to Ireland. This is the real ground of complaint. The Tories, supposing it would be made a party question (and who did not ?), believed that the judges had crammed the lay Peers, and that the here ditary legislators would, as in duty bound, implicitly bow to their opinion, without taking into account one very important consideration, namely, that the whole merits of the case were not placed before them. The questions for their decision were drawn up in the THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1844. sideration of the matter in debate, has been naturally led to acknowledge that the French authorities had a right to send away a turbulent man, who was compro mising his own country by mixing himself up with I projects of insurrection against France. Its right then became limited to a sincere disavowal of all the gratui tous wrongs, useless acts of rigour, and exorbitant pro ceedings, of which a French officer rendered himself cul pable, and for which his own superior officer sponta neously reproved him. The French Cabinet, on its side, has made it a point of honour to be completely candid and loyal, it has not hesitated to admit the real wrong committed by one of its naval officers, and there must have been on its part a total absence of good faith, and a perfect want of equity to refuse a full satisfaction for this act. The question once placed in this light, the dignity of the two countries remained intact, and a solu tion became easy. To have acted otherwise, had France adopted the act of Captain d'Aubigny, and England that of Mr. Pritchard, it would have been to lower two great nations to the level of two prejudiced and pas sionate men. A man must be insensate to expect that Governments should hold themselves bound by the acts of agents who have gone beyond their instructions. Upon such an hypothesis countries could not be governed by Cabinets, but by the subalterns whom they send out to different parts of the world. There is no country that can subject itself to such chances of collision and confusion. To disavow an agent who had acted accord ing to his instructions would be a culpable weakness ; but to disavow an agent who, unauthorised, takes upon himself serious measures constituting a political act, is a right so clear, so self-evident, that there cannot be any man of good understanding or right feeling who will not at once acknowledge it to be just. It is to be hoped that the application of these truly constitutional prin ciples, which the Government has been twice under the painful necessity of making., may be a lesson for all who are or shall become hereafter depositaries of its autho rity, to observe all necessary forbearance and moderation towards both nations and individuals, and constantly re mind them that they are not the Government." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " The Prince de Joinville was at Cadiz on the 23d ult. He was to embark in the Pluton steamer to pro ceed to Oran, where Marshal Bugeaud is to wait for him. He was to go from that place to Bona, to visit the Duke d'Aumale, and thence to return to France by Toulon. A letter from this town of the Ist states that all the officers of the navy were ordered to be ready to receive the Prince, who was expected from one moment to another. The Sub-Prefect had convoked the Municipal Council extraordinarily to deliberate on the measures to be taken to give his Royal Highness a fitting reception." The Constitutionnel says:—" The promotions pre pared by the Minister of Marine are to be dated from the day of the inauguration of the statue of Admiral Du quesne, at Dieppe. The fete is to last three days, but the day of inauguration is not yet named. It i s to be regulated by the King's journey to Eu." The Frankfurter Journal gives the following from \Vilna, 27th ult.:— " Notwithstanding all that has been done in favour of the Jews, on the frontiers of Russia and Poland, their translation is decided upon as the only means of maintaining the system of exclusion and the law which protects it. There are comprised in this measure 100,000 Israelites. It is true that the richer Jews have received permission to sell their landed property, and fix their residences where they wish. This is deemed a favour, but it is in truth an illusion ; for the sale of their estates being a forced one, they will have great difficulty in finding purchasers at their just value, and they at the same time must limit their new abodes within one or other of the Governments which formed part of the kingdom of Poland before the first partition." " A letter from Graetz, in Styria, quoted by the Augs burg Gazette, states, that on the 26th ult., at the moment the troops were filing off before the Emperor and Em preis of Austria, four piers that supported an iron rail way near her Majesty fell down, and killed two men and injured several others, amongst whom were two captains, very severely. " A letter from Copenhagen states that the Russian fleet took its departure from Elsinore on the 26th ult., passed Copenhagen in the afternoon, and entered the Baltic. The National asserts, that in the Morocco affair, France has manifestly been the dupe of Abderraliman and England, and that, thanks to the concessions of N. Guizot, she is henceforth engaged in an interminable war, because it seems to admit of no satisfactory and final con clusion. THE BOURSE—TuunsDAT„ SEPT. 5, First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price.

This morning, shortly after two o'clock, the whole of the southern part of London was thrown into a state of inconsequence of the outbreak otlii.eaumtmosotstextensive excitement,fire The premises in which the fire originated was in the occupation of Mr. Cleave Hooper, an extensive tanner and factor, situate in the Spa-road, Bermondsey. The principal building was a warehouse, entirely constructed of wood, termed a barkbarn, having an altitude of 80 feet. It was 60 feet in depth and 100 in length. This was adjoined by the engine and boiling-ho use , extensive , dr n-pits, also built of wood, t h e area i n front form i ng the being covered by an immense roofing. The but before the con stables had time to communicate th e di scover y, the flames burst out with frightful viol ence , enc i rc li n g the r t h s e a fi ft r e e r appearstlio o clock by th e police, to have b een d i scovered at a few zni au whole of that line of property i n a general blaze. In about ten minutes the parish engine of Bermondsey arrived, but some time elapsed before it could be brought into operation. Before then, h owever, an engine f rom the brigade station in S outhwark-bridge -road, under the charge of Mr. Henderso n , th e foreman of the southern division of the establishment, an d was i mmediately fol . lowed d ion by yto the engine from T oo l ey-street station. In a the boiling and engine-house, the fire had extended along the whole line of drying lofts and work shops, to contiguous property of the same class belong ing to Mr. Hugman, also a tanner. The engines of the brigade, the moment they arrived, were supplied by a good stream of water .from the plugs. The firemen used the utmost expedition in getting to work, their attention being wholly directed to the preservation of the warehouse, or bark barn ; the fl ames , h owever , beat over from the opposite direction, and a tt ac k e d the gable end of the building , which instantly ignited. By three o'clock the whole body of the warehouse was one solid mass of fire, and the flames rose, in a huge bulk, to an amazing a ltitude. A number of o th er eng i nes of the brigade had by this time reached t h e scene o f d eso l a ti o n, and were arranged in the best possible positions by Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent. Unfortunately the sup ply of water was so diminished by the great number of engines got early to work, that very few could even tually be kept in play. These were judiciously brought to bear on the remaining portion of Mr. Hooper's pre mises. The flames in that direction were stopped without doing much damage to the adjoining building. The conflagration, however, had communicated to two stacks of tan in the y ar d at t h e b ack of t h e tan-pits ; thence to the stabling, and lastly to another large bark warehouse at the back of Mr. Hooper's bark barn, then burned down the property of Messrs. Easton, tanners and factors, approached by the same inlet as that which led to the premis es of Air. Hooper. Immediately the disco very was made, two engines were taken round and got to work, and all possible exertions were made to stop the further pro gress o f the fire. This was accom plished as far as had reference to the outside of the bark stored there ; but the fire having penetrated the heart of the immense pile, it still continues to burn, and it is sup posed that it will continue to do so for several days to come, Up to ten o'clock the fire was still raging, although it had a considerable time previously been so far checked, as to guarantee that it would extend no further. The amount of property destroyed was currently re ported to be at least 9 0,000/., but at present, of course, we have no means of obtaining a real estimate. We feel pleasure in announcing to our readers that he Anti-Corn-law Association intend very shortl to resume their me et i ngs. Th e i r fi rs t a nniversary wi ll be held on the last Thursday of the month, which , we doubt not, will be numerously attended, so as to gi ve a fresh and increasing impet us t o a c ause which involves the n welfare of the lo wer c l asses o f soc i e ty to a degree which is not justly appre c i ate d b not duly arties who, from prejudice or other circumstances, have we ighed this im portant question.—Plymouth Journal. KENNOWAY—S ERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Russell, of Coul, and his wife were proceeding to Carriston House to dinner, on Tuesday last, the wind blew back the winkers of his horse, when the animal took fri g ht and ran of at a tremendous p a ce. Messrs J. Fernie and William Ballingal were on the road before, and bound for the same place. On seeing Mr. Russell's gig coming forward at such a rapid rate, Mr. Ballingal drew off into a field, and Mr. Fernie drew his gig to the side of the road, and leaped out. Mr. Russell, having lost the corn• mand of his horse, could not guide it past Mr. Fernie's, gig. They came in contact, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell were thrown out. Mrs. Russell had her collar-bone broken and two ribs ; and Mr. Russell was himself a good deal bruised.—Fife Herald.

When any of these were taken prisoners, they wore stripped naked, smeared over with wild ho ney, and tied to a tree in the vicinity of ant hills. Thus exposed, they were speedily covered by myriads of these insects, which in a few days consumed their flesh, and left nothing but white bones to bleach in the sun. When Lord Nelson first appeared at the levee at St. James's, after losing his arm, his Majesty, acknow ledging his great services, added, "but your country has 4 Cid Dl for a bit more of you."—Life of Lord Eldon.

We have not a single arrival of importance this morn ing, and among commercial men there is scarcely any thing doing to-day. The reduction of the rate of discount by the Bank of England Directors is still a subject of discussion, and, in some quarters, of strong comment. If the utmost cau tion be not used, the mania for speculation will again be fomented into activity, and we shall have a repetition of the events of 1824.5, an extreme elevation of the circulation, and a rapid depression. The citizens were much delighted this morning, at least those in the vicinit of the new Royal Exchange, to hear the new clock chime twelve. The bell appears, on its first trial, to be a fine one.

Immediately on their debarkation they were received by a large number of respectable persons on the quay with cheer's and other demonstrations of respectful welcome. They had been accompanied from Portrush by Sir R. Bateson, Castrues ; Col. Cairnes, K.G., and other gen tlemen, who interested themselves in the cordial wel come so deservedly prepared for the gallant general and his lady. The worshipful the mayor (William Haslett, Esq.), accompanied Sir Robert Sale to the house of John Dysart, Esq., in Shipquay-street, to whom the hero of Jellalabad is on a visit. The joy -bells rang merrily through the day, and successive peals of artillery re sounded from the walls at intervals. The vessels in the harbour were decorated ;with flags in honour of Sir Robert Sale's arrival. Sir Robert Sale will be enter tained at as sumptuous a banquet as Derry can afford, on Friday next, in Corporation Hall, where ho will be met by as many gentry of the district as the Hall will ac commodate, and a ball will be given in honour of Lady Sale on the Tuesday evening following. SIGNS OF WINTER.—On Sunday evening a large flock of wild geese passed over Chesterfield, on their way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire. Such a circumstance at this early period of the season was hardly ever known ; and it is considered to forebode an early and severe winter.—Notts Review. It is stated that the wheats in this county, where they have been got up hard and dry, weigh from 63 to 651bs. per bushel, arid the quality is bold and handsome. —Chelmsford Chronicle. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The portals of the " Royal Property" are to be opened once more, and for the last time, ere this splendid and favourite place of entertain ment is razed to the ground, it having been decreed that it shall yield to the " march of brick and mortar" now proceeding at such a rapid pace in its vicinity. A grand Indian equestrian entertainment is to be produced on Monday afternoon, under the direction of Mr. Catlin, when the loways will be encamped in their" wigwams" both night and day in the inclosure of the gardens known as the " Waterloo Ground," and which, from its now being covered with grass, and surrounded by . trees and shrubs, completely resembles an Indian prairie. The warriors and chiefs of the party will appear on horse back, in saddles and trappings of their own manufacture, and give their mode of warfare by exhibiting a sham fight, in which their actions delineate the mode of ap proaching an enemy by hunting their track, and in tracing them up, skulking after them, and at last, when the war whoop is sounded, of rushing on the attack. They will unpropitious re w , ad n also give the war, eagle, scalp, and other dances —dis play their skill in shootin c g .

A REASON AGAINST A RAILWAY.—One of the hotel keepers at Bowness, Windermere, declared that they did not want a railway to the Lakes, " because it will increase the number of visitors, and they are already so full they don't know what to do"—like the fat boy, blubbering over his pudding, because he couldn't eat any more l—Bailway Record.
