THE WATERLOO BARRACKS IN THR TOWER.— Mae* the first stone of these barracks was laid by the Duke of Wellington, ia June last, the works have been proceeded with vigo rously, and the building is now nearly one story high throughout. The structure was originally proposed to accommodate eight hundred dud twenty-six men, but recent alterations have fitted it to receive nearly one thousand. The length in front is 288 feet, and at the back 271 feet S inches. The width of the main building is 65 feet, but at the flanks it extends to 82 feet. The size of the principal rooms is 28 feet by 24. The fleets are to be formed with iron girders and brick arches, so as to render the building fire-proof. The style of the building is castellated Gothic of the fifteenth century; the walls are faced with Kentish rag, and the dressings of the windows, doors, Le., are of Anston stone. Major Hall, as chief of the engineering department, is the director of the works ; Mr. W. Harrison the con fret:ter for masonry, brickwork, die. ; and Mr. John Harrison for the carpenter's work. The total cost is estimated at nearly 50,0001. Many other works are contemplated in the Tower, involving a very large expenditure. We should be rejoiced to hear that they included the restoration of thi keep known as the White Tower, which is at present a dibgraceful monument of Ignorance and want of taste.— The Budder.

(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 110.) Capital, 1,200,0001., in 60,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.: objeet of this Company is to establish the most direct tom asanication between Sheffield and the West Riding of Yorkshire and London, and also between London and the important cities of Glas gow and Edinburgh. Of the numerous projects to whieh attention heel:teen directed, none w in bear a stricter investigation than theory Ulf submitted to the notice of the public ; for, whilst it is Proposeillealcure the best and shortest route to the metropolis, f rom its propelled connexion with ether existing or projected lines north and south of Sheffield, that abject will be attained at comparatively little cost. The main line of this important undertaking will commence by a unction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at or near jeteighton, being a distance of about seven miles a a south-easterly direction from Sheffield, and will proceed thence in a 'straight and direct southern course to Leicester, passing about seven miles eastward of Chesterfield, and about five miles to the west of If ottinghem. But the Company will take powers to nom. menet. its ibis at the terminus of the Sheffield and Manchester * cede'', at Sheffield, in cue the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line should sot meet with the seine satisfactory reception in the Ho of Lords during the ensuing session as that important project ha lmet with in the House of Commons during the last session. At Leicester, the proposed line will form a junction with the Routh Midland and the Leicester and Bedford projected linos, or one of them, thereby effect ing the shortest practicable route that can possibly be made from Sheffield to the Metropolis, reducing the distance between those places nearly thirty miles, and between London and Glasgow about seventy-five miles, and at the same time avoiding the delays at Itas and which frequently bro . and Derby , so generally complained of, occupy upwards et an hour. On inepecting the Ordnance or other correct maps'of the country, It will also appear beyond doubt, that this line, in connexion with other lines la existence and projected, will form the most direct c ommuni- Galion between Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as all the important town., and districts of the North, and London. North of Sheffield, in one direction, this line, in connexion with the Sheffield and Rudderste rn—Lan- - neld—Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley—North Wes caster and Carlisle—and Caledonian lines, will form one grand trunk while in another direction, by the proposed Sheffield, Wortley, Silk stone, and Wakefield, or Sheffield, Barnsley, and Wakefield lines, from Sheffield to Wakefield, and by the Wakefield, Leeds, and Har rogate line. direct to Leeds, it will place the above Important towns, as well as the whole manufacturing and mining districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland, on the main trunk between London and itie North. That a direct communication between the above important districts and London, as well as between Scotland and London, is greatly seeded, is placed beyond all doubt, not only from an inspection of the maps of the country, but from the often repeated expression of public opinion on this subject. The vast and increasing population of the above districts, the immense and daily increasing traffic between those districts and London, and the growing desire for direct com- Munication between all important parts ef the country, render such a line as is now projected absolutely essential. That this is the ease, asay be gathered from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons during the last session ; Lord Wharncliffe, a the recent annual festival of the Corporation of Cutlers, at Sheffield ; and other members of the Government, all of whom concur in asserting that a more direct communication between London and the North, than at present exists, is now b e come abeolutely necessary to supply the wants of the country. This railway may, therefore, justly be regarded as a great na tional undertaking, and not one merely affecting local interests, al though its advantages to Sheffield, and the great and important ma sanfaeturiag districts of West Yorkshire, cannot be too highly estimated. la a great undertaking like the present, connecting nearly the whole of the manufacturingdistricts of Yorkshire and the North with Loudon, by means ef the Itiould numerous ramifications branching from its northers termin us, to collecting them all at that point, and carrying gion . sce . 11=04 of the the South, it is almost impossible to form a ea Into the li ne ;bet, immense traffic which must necessarily be soared workingexpeompe, fife making an allowance of 40 per cent. net returns are calculated to amount is more than 10-eer cent p en annum oa the required capital, without oweetslttez into ercpubseatli;6ritete . ereete. flattue sources of income which the rail way Rill , Them lootoo mason to wove that this will be the route adopted by fey Majesty's Government for the conveyance of the malls between 'Ando* and Scotland.

The preamble or recital of the list itself remains on record as a most honourable, but well-merited tribute to the bravery and the deserts of the veteran captains in whose favour it has been prepared. But whilst doling out a tardy measure of justice to one section of the service, on account of their long tenure of the rank now held by them, it is so hard on the whole bcdy of com manders and lieutenants who even in rank are re moved, it may be said, but by a single epaulette from the fortunate objects of the " minute," to be utterly excluded from it, that we are strongly tempted to assume it must be within the contemplation of the Ad miralty, ere long, to bring forward another " Retirement List," to include the older and the more distinguished vete rans under the rank of post-captains, who may proudly say, with the Apostle of old, that in the fierce time gone by they have been "in labours more abundant, in `battles' more frequent, in deaths oft . . . . in perils of waters, in perils of the sea." If the effect of the proposed retirement scheme were only to remove in the persons of the older post-captains the otherwise inseparable im pediment to the employment of the younger ones, who, from connexion or interest, have already jumped over the heads of older and better officers, in the shape of commanders and first lieutenants, who have seen a great deal of real service, and earned their experience—and their wounds, their honours—and their infirmities in the hard fighting of the last war, or hard service upon foreign sta tions since, in crazy craft or with short complements of men ; that which we were disposed to hail as a well-timed and generous boon to the service, would be, indeed, but an ela borate insult on some of the most meritorious ornaments of their profession. But we cannot help thinking that this would be a most illiberal assumption. It is evi dent that with sufficient plausibility we might go beyond it, and infer that the Lords of the Admiralty meant to justify their present limitation of the re tirement list on the trite axiom " that a line must be drawn somewhere." They might, if they were so minded, reply to all remonstrance on the subject, " that, admitting the merits of the petitioners or remonstrants who thought themselves aggrieved by the exclusion now complained of, yet, if Govern ment did not draw the line between post-captains and com manders, neither could they between commanders and first lieutenants, nor between first lieutenants and masters, whose terms of service, good conduct, &c., were equal." Now, we look for better things at the hands of Sir GEORGE COCK BURN, from his personal knowledge and experience of a profession which boasts no more distingashed member than himself ; and at ,those of the Earl of ITADDLNGros, than whom we do not believe a more considerate or disinterested servant of the Crown can be named. " JusTrim " must make allowances, we fear, for the time it takes to apply the screw with effect to such a seasoned piece of official toughness and insensibility as the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and he may be assured, fair and ably stated as his appeal is, that if the First and Second Lords are essential to a good and beneficial working triumvi rate at the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the all-indispensable and vivifying element of such a body. We shall wait a little, therefore, to watch the course of pend ing deliberations at Whitehall before we recur to this inte resting subject. 'The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 15th, is des itute of interest. No business was done on the Bourse during he 15th. Several of the Paris journals, and among the rest the Journal des Debate, show that during the visit of the Duke DE NEMOURS to the south of France, his Royal Highness had occasion to listen to other addresses than those of congratula tion and flattery. On the 16th the Congress of Wine-growers held their annual meeting, and seized the opportunity of the Duke's presence to represent to him the deplorable condition of the wine trade. A deputation was appointed for the pur pose, who stated that the department of the Gironde, though one of the richest in France, was overwhelmed with mortgage debts ; that the wine trade in place of improving, was rapidly declining; that they were reduced to the brink of ruin, caused chiefly by the suicidal conduct of the Legis lature, in prohibiting trade with foreign countries. "At home," they said, "the returns show that the wine interests form a melancholy contrast to the general pros perity. While foreign countries thus repel our productions, because they are driven away from our own frontiers by pro tecting tariffs which are out of all bounds, the interior legis lation of our country commits the double injustice of exact ing enormous imposts from us, and of restricting the con sumption of our productions, which alone furnish us the means of paying them. After having paid for our lands, bearing vines, a higher impost than is exacted from other lands, our produce is condemned to support exclusively, from their ori gin till the period of their being consumed, fifteen different indirect imposts, which yield a profit of 1,006 millions to the state, and 25 millions to the towns. The imports on our pro ductions vary, according to circumstances, from 120 to 136 per cent. on the value." This is an enormous amount, and when the falling off in the trade is taken into account, the condition of these landed proprietors must indeed be deplora ble. The following statements show the great decline which has taken place in the exports of wine and brandy : " The exportation of wines from the Gironde to Russia, which was 30,000 hectolitres in 1821, 29,000 hectolitres in 1827, and 28,000 hec tolitres in 1832, was only 19,000 hectolitres in 1842, and 16,000 in 1844. _ _ " Th• exports to Sweden and Norway, which in 1840, 1841, and 1842, varied between 6,000 and 7,000 hectolitres, fell in 1844 to 3,700 hectolitres. " The exports te the Hans towns amounted in 1823 to 167,000 ; 1832, 165,000 ' • 1833, 238,000 ; 1840, 125,000 ; 1841, 117,000 ; 1842, 89,000 ; 1843, 77,000 ; 1844, 73,000 hectolitres. " The exports of brandy to Norway, in 1842, were 764,008 litres, and in 1844 they fell to 85,000 litres. To England the exports in 1842 were 585,000 litres ; in 1844, 219,000 litres. " Almost everywhere else, as to the United States, the Brazils, Mexico, and the Spanish American colonies, the result is similar both in respect to wine and brandy." His Royal Highness, in reply, lamented the present depres sion of the wine trade, and promised to give the subject his most serious consideration, at the same time informing the deputation, of which they seemed aware, that any change depended.on the votes of the two Chambers. The following extract from the Journal des Debats leaves little doubt that the discussions in the Saxon Chambers during the present session will possess deep interest for Germany : " We Perceive, by letters from Dresden, of the 15th instant, that the events at Leipsic, which excited so lively an agitation through out Saxony, will probably be the object of grave deliberations in the states of that eountry. Already the preliminary labours of the Chamber of Deputies show that the Government will meet with a strong opposition there. It is a matter of notoriety that in Saxony, as in France under the Restoration, the Chamber of Deputies sends in a list of candidates for the President's chair, out of which the King makes a choice. Up to the present period, through re spect for the majority, the King has always named a candidate placed at the head of the list submitted to him by the Chamber of Deputies. On thi • occasion the Chamber had chosen, by a plurality of votes, 31. Haase, deputy for Leipsic, and who formed one of the deputation sent by that city to the King on the late disturbances, which deputation threw the whole responsibility on the Government and the military authorities. The King, to manifest his great dissa tisfaction at the city of Leipsic and its Deputy, put aside 31. Haase, and named 31. Braun, who was the second on the list, President. It so happens that this choice is a great triumph for the Opposition, as M. Braun is one of the most determined adversaries of the Government.

LUxembourg We are so far from thinking lightly of what the Admiralty have dons within the last twelve months to repair the de fective condition of her MAJESTY'S navy, and to i n t ro d uce sound improvements into some of the most important details of the service, that our desire is rather to ex press our gratitude for the zeal and earnestness with which they have applied themselves to a vigilant and assiduous administration of all duties of their depart ment. This gratitude, however, is not unmixed with a confident hope that the scope of the Board's exertions will be yet very considerably enlarged ; and allowing, as a ll of us must do, for the consumption of time inseparable from the necessity of replacing the whole, or parts only, of the extensive action of an inefficient but complicated system, by new machinery and a more intelligent direction of it ; we still hope to see such further demands on the attention and labours of the Board, as are connected with objects of primary, of vital consequence, attended to—with a promptitude unrelated by the extent and duration of former exertions. But vast as is the responsibility attaching to the manifold duties of the service they preside over, the praise and respect of their fellow-countrymen may well suffice as adequate inducement to any amount of increased efforts on their part to consolidate the strength, uphold the efficiency, and renew and concentrate the vital energies of our maritime power. We concur, therefore, with our correspon dent " RsTrria," in appealing to the Admiralty " to go on with the good work which they have so boldly begun." To this end no influence can be so advantageously brought to act upon them, or upon any branch of the Exec utive, as that of public opinion. In our own columns that opinion is to be collected from no inconsiderable variety of correspondents, on whose communications, from time to time, we crave leave to offer such comments u they suggest to us. Among these, we know of none more opportune, just now, than the letter of " Jurrrria," on the "Naval Retirement." It relates to a topic the importance and bearings of which on the highest interests of the empire it is impossible to ex aggerate—difficult sufficiently to appreciate.

The con testing distance was four miles. The race commenced at a good pace, the mare completing the first mile in 3% minutes, with a lead of forty yards. The next mile was accomplished in 3 minutes and 22 seconds, the mare still leading. Upon the approach to the third mile, the mare broke out to a gallop, and, being pulled in and turned, gave the horse an opportunity to make ground, and he took the lead, performing the third mile in 3 minutes and 29 seconds.

His episcopal duties, on account of his infirmities, have for some time past been performed by the Bishop of Salisbury. His Lordship was a Doctor of Divinity, a visitor of Wadham College. Oxford, F.R., A.S., and uncle to the Earl of Ellenborough. He was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1813, and translated to Bath and Wells in 1824. TIPPERARY MODE OF PAYING RENT.—In Our publication of Saturday last an advertisement appeared for the sa l e of the produce of five fields of wheat, two fields of oats, and some hay, dlstrained by the receiver under the Court of Chancery for ren t due on part of the Derry Castle estatee, amounting to upwards of 2001., and which was to be sold by auction yesterday (Friday). Bailiffs to the number of seven wore placed over the property, who visited it every day to see that all was right. On Friday morning, however, upon going to the lands, there was not a vestige of th e p ro . dace to be seen—not a single strew was left behind—the lads having made clean work of it during the previous night, to the great dis appointment of the receiver, the auctioneer, and the bailiffs.—Neu ph Guardian. MANLY SPORTS.—Whenever public expectation is at the highest pitch amongst the sporting million, the invariable re mark is, " Wait till we see Belts Life in London." THE 57TH, OR " DIK.HARDS. —The war-name of this distingeislied Corps was acquired, we believe, in the hard-fought battle of Albuera, where they are described in the Gazette to have fallen " as they stood in their rank', with every wound in front." When there were only two subalterns—one of whom was severely wounded, but declined to give up the colours to " a sergeant "—and about one hundred and fifty men of the whole regiment left, they became impatient of their long and fatal stand-still fight, and, raising a spontaneous shout, rushed Into the bosom of the broad Cohnpn op peg to them. It was at this moment, when the brave remnant or Los regiment disappeared from his view, as if they had been swallowed up by the masses by which they were surrounded, that their wounded Colonel (Inglis) uttered the memorable exclama tion from which their name was taken—" Well done, my brave fel lows I—you'll die hard, at any rate !"

The market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. The sales were only about 3,000 bags, of which specu lators took 500.

There are accounts of May 6 from Hobart Town, Van Dieman's Land, but they furnish very little information on subjects of general Interest The colony was progressing in its industrial resources, and the leading and most serious matter of complaint among the Van Dieman's Land people seems to be the excess of the convict population, which was become dangerous alike to the morality and tranquillity of the island. A considerable increase has lately taken place in the trade between the Aladeiras and this country, and some fine vessels are about being fitted out to convey the produce of that rich island to this country. The brig Dart, now in the London Docks, was inspected by a party of scientific men on Satur day, and pronounced to be most suitable for the con veyance of produce, as well as most safe and easy for invalids. The Dart is of 242 tons burthen. She has a long midship body, with fine ends, and her sailing qualities have not alone been considered to the ex clusion of others equally important, that of encountering heavy weather—is easy of motion, and being always dry on deck in any weather, is conducive to the comfort of pas sengers, enabling them at all times to remain on her long quarter deck. Her accommodations consist of separate state rooms, ladies' and dining cabins (the latter 24 feet long), very airy, combining every comfort to make a sea voyage agree able, and preferable in every respect to invalids to the motion, noise, vapour, and often crowded state of steam-packets.

James Harper, who said he was a 'Wine-merchant, was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with committing an assault on John Carter, the door-keeper at the pit entrance of the Lyceum Theatre. The complainant said that the prisoner and some other persons came to the door of the theatre last night, and demanded admission at half-price. He told them it was not yet time, and they must either pay the Mil price or wait till the time announced for second price in the bills. They attempted to force the door, which he had closed and bolted. At the usual time he opened the doer to admit the people who were waiting outside, and the prisoner, who was the first to come in, turned out of his way to go up to him, and stamped on his foot with great force. The prisoner said that be and some other persons were waiting at the pit entrance of the theatre, when some of them made a rush towards the door, and so threw him (witness) against it. The door was fastened at the top only, and by the force of the pressure from with out it was pushed partly open. He accidentally put his foot in at the bottom. Mr. TWTPOZD said the only conclusion he could draw from the evidence was, that the prisoner, fancying himself injured by being kept out from the theatre, had assaulted the constable in revenge. He would fine him 205., or, in default, Seven days' imprisonment. The line was immediately paid. SPEECH of the KING of SAXONY. The opening of the States of the fifth Constitutional Diet took place on the 14th. After the usual religious ceremonies, the King, accompanied by Prince John and Prince Albert, returned into the Salle, and pronounced the following discourse : " Gentlemen of the States,—l have assembled you round my throne at an earlier period than usual, in order to settle the law on the finances before the expiration of the year, and in order to avoid ite being consented to provisionally. The country will appreciate the sacrifice made by many of you in being thus torn from your ordinary occupations. Since the closing of the last diet, the amicable relations with foreign states have been maintained and strengthened. The treaties concluded with Belgium, Sardinia, and Portugal, have secured fresh advantages to our commerce. " By the conclusion of an additional clause to the treaty of navigation with the Elbe, that navigation has obtained further facilities. An amicable arrangement, based on reci procal confidence and esteem, has secured us from the Aus trian Government the restoration of the Schirgiswalde with its dependencies. Negotiations relative to the general regu lation of the frontiers have been again opened with the king dom of Bohemia, and carried on in the same spirit. There is every reason to expect a satistactory solution. The engage ments whieh are imposed on us as members of the Germanic Confederation rend necessary some changes in the law of recruitment, particularly with regard to the reserve. These changes will be submitted to your consideration. " Although I can allude -to the satisfactory state of the in ternal affairs of the kingdom, there are nevertheless some afflicting events which I have to remark. An event, much to be regretted, which' wounds the dearest feelings of my heart, has recently taken place in one of the most important cities of the kingdom ; and I have no doubt you will sym pathise in my grief on the subject. The agitation which has manifested itself on several points connected with religious affairs, and which threatens to destroy all harmony, and get beyond the bounds of good order, merits the most serious attention. Without taking into account the creeds of the various recognised churches, I promised, on ascending the throne, to support, above all, those religious feelings which the people of Saxony have known how to maintain in such an honourable manner. I expressed the conviction that the states of Saxony will be guided by the same respect for what is the most sacred thing in the world. If my confidence in this respect be well founded, I hope, and I rely that you will grant me your support, in order that the principles of the Church may not be shaken, and that the fundamental pillars of the state, and the welfare of humanity, religion, and faith, may not be sapped at their foundation. " A system of rigorous severity in the economy of the state, and the favourable result of the public resources, as well as the means secured by the last Diet, have allowed the engage ments contracted by the public treasury to be strictly ful filled. This favourable result permits a proposition to be submitted for the reduction of the taxes on manufacturing and personal interests. The construction of lines of railroads rendered necessary the adoption of other means to meet the demands of the state. The prosperous state of public credit has permitted, even before the completion of the railroads which lead to adjoining countries, to authorise the construc tion of the branch lines from Schemmiz to Reiza, and from Lobau to Zittar, which will spare the public treasury a great sacrifice. Several important bills have been prepared by the Committee of the two Chambers, and will be laid before you. " Other measures, partly called for by the wishes of the ancient assemblies of the States, will be also submitted for your consideration. The Minister of State who presides over public assemblies, will communicate to you the results of the labours of the different branches of the Administration. " Having replied to the provisions of the constitution with scrupulous good faith, I have a right to demand from all Saxons to act in the same manner. I particularly request you, Gentlemen of the States, to second me in the firm reso lution to maintain in the internal condition of the state a constitutional and regular course, in order that the name of Saxons may be universally respected and held in esteem, and that constitutions like ours may be regarded as the firmest ramparts against anarchy and disorder, and as a guarantee of the maintenance of the bond which unites the Prince and the people. The consolidation of this bond can alone secure the happiness of the people. Full of confi dence in you, I rely that that spirit of wisdom and pa triotism will direct your discussions ; the country will then regard with gratitude the labours of the Diet which is this day opened." His Majesty and the Princes , then retired, and M. de Konnerits, the Minister of State, made known to the assembly the different measures to which the King had alluded. IRELAND.—ACADEMIC EDUCATION.—The Catholic prelates have a second time declared their hostility to the ministerial scheme of academic education. Here is the de claration :—" Lest our faithful flocks should be apprehensive of any change being wrought in our minds relative to the recent legislative measure of academic education, we, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops, feel it a duty we owe to them, and to ourselves, to reiterate our solemn conviction of its being dangerous to faith and morals, as declared in the resolutions unanimously adopted in May last by the assem bled Bishops of Ireland :—M. Slattery, Archbishop of Cashel ; John, Archbishop of Tuam ; Thomas Coen, Bishop of Clon fert ; Patrick M'Nicholas, Bishop of Achonry ; James Keating, Bishop of Ferns ; Patrick M'Gettigan, Bishop of Raphoe ; Cornelius Egan, Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe ; Edmund Ffrench, Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora ; William Higgins, Bishop of Ardagh ; John Cantwell, Bishop of Meath ; Michael Blake, Bishop of Dromore ; William Kin sella, Bishop of Ossory ; George J. P. Browne, Bishop of Elphin ; Bartholomew Crotty, Bishop of Cloyne and Ross; Nicholas Foran, Bishop of Waterford and Lismore ; Thomas Feeny, Bishop of Killala ; Charles M'Nally, Bishop of Clogher ; Laurence O'Donnell, Bishop of Galway." PROGRESS OF A POUND OF COTTON — 4 ' There was sent off for London, lately, from Glasgow, a small piece of muslin, about one pound weight, the history of which is as follows :—The cotton came from the United States to London ; from London it went to Manchester, where it was manufactured into yarn; from Manchester it was sent to Paisley, where it was woven ; it was sent to Ayrshi , e next, where it was tamboured; afterwards it was conveyed to Dunbarton, where it was handsewed, and again returned to Paisley, when it was sent to a distant part of the county of Renfrew to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley ; then sent to Glasgow, and was finished •, and from Glasgow was sent per coach to London. It is difficult precisely to ascer tain the time taken to bring this article to market, but it may be pretty near the truth to reckon it two years from the time it was packed in America, till its cloth arrived at the merchant's warehouse in London, whither it must have been conveyed 3,000 miles by sea, and 920 by land, and contributed toward the support of no less than 150 people, whose services were necessary in the carriage and manufacture of this small quantity of cotton, and by which the value has been advanced 2,000 per cent. What is said of this piece is descriptive of no inconsiderable part of the trade."— Scotch paper. LATEST FROM DAVIS'S STRAITS.—Another of our whalers has arrived. The Alexander, Reid, from Davis's Straits, brought up in our roads on Wednesday, with a cargo of 27 fish, which will produce about 170 tuns of oil. The Alexander brings no additional intelligence from that quarter.—Dundee Advertiser. EXPORTATION OF SALT TO THE EAST INDIES.— We are Infoimed that no less than from 20,000 to 30,000 tons of salt have been exported hence to the East Indies within the last three months. The enterprise is expected to return a very handsome proflt.—Liverpool Albion. SEIZURE OF WATCHES.—We understand, with re spect to the seizure of watches recently made by the revenue officers, that what was stated as being extremely probable, viz., that the officers had the seizure of a further quantity in view, was quite correct. Shortly after the capture of the first-mentioned quantity, they received information which led them to start immediately for Liverpool, where they made a seizure of a much larger quantity, and, if we under stand rightly, while at that port they obtained a further clue, which it is not improbable will lead to the ultimate seizure of a large quantity of the same valuable description of merchandise. We are in possession of some further par ticulars in the matter, which we do not feel at liberty to pub lish at present, as it might probably have the effect of preventing the furtherance of the ends of justice. The officers concerned are remarkably shrewd and intelligent, and it is not at all likely that they will lose the probable chance afforded them of ultimately making a seizure of those which they have in view, and of causing then also to be confiscated to the revenue. It is to be hoped that such will be the case; as we have before re marked, the success of such daring attempts to introduce so valuable an article of merchandise into the country, without the payment of the proper duties must be a matter of serious moment to that im portant branch of trade and manufacture. WRECK OF THE INDEMNITY.—CLEVERNESS OF THE CAPTAlN.—lntelligence was received at Stockton, on Sunday, of the wreck of the brig Indemity, Captain R. Grieves, of that port, the property of Mr. W. W. Watson, about the middle of July, on the Magdalen Islands, in the gulf of St. Lawrence, while on her passage from Ireland to Quebec, in ballast. At the time of the wreck there were nearly 20 persons on board. The vessel having got on the shore, the master went to the main land, and hired some labourers to assist in getting her off ; but a storm arose on his return, threatening not only her loss, but the loss of all hands. Under these circumstances, he sent a buoy adrift, attached to a line; and on its approach to the land, it was hooked up by the inhabitants, a number of whom had assembled on the cliffs. A ward was then fastened to the line on hoard the brig, and drawn to the cliff, where itwas made fast. The captain now placed a " thimble" on the rope, with a hempen " chair ;" and the line was made fast to the " thimble" in two places —so that the chair could be drawn up to the cliff, and back to the vessel. With this apparatus the seamen and labourers were made to travel, one by one, from the wreck to the cliff. The Captain re mained to the last ; and having no one to assist him into the " chair," he had great ditticalty in taking his seat, and securing his safety. One man only—a sailor, named Brown—was lout. He had attempted, in spite of his master's injunctions, to make his way to land in a boat, and was drowned. The hull and materials of the brig (which was insured) sold for g 011111 *art of 1601. Gatehead Observer. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—These grounds were on Monday enlivened, In addition to the usual attrac tions of music, fireworks, pictorial representations , wild beasts, and bi r d s , dm, by the visit of the boys of the Royal Hospital School at Greenwich, who arrived at the gates, where they were received by Mr. Tyler, the proprietor, a little after six. o'clock. The juvenile party was a large one, muster ing seven hundred and fifty strong. They marched into the gardens in military order, their own band preceding them, and playing " Here's a health to all good lasses." The band of the establishment struck up " Rule Brit dinia " as the boys ad vanced, which compliment was acknowledged by three hearty cheers. Between the acts of the concert the juvenile band played several popular airs in very good style.

SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market was in a quiet state, the purchases made in all qualities being upon a small scale, although the merchants were sellers at a decline on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day there was less demand for refined goods from the home trade, and prices were not so firm, brown grocery lumps selling at 65s 6d to 665, and standard lumps 67s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is still neglected, and prices are nominal at 42. to 42s 6d per cwt for first quantity. Mauaiz►vs.—There has been little desire manifested to purchase this description of Sugar, and the few parcels disposed of privately were at lower rates. EALT INDIA.—For white Bengal a good demand has been ex perienced, and the rates obtained have been equal to those pre viously quoted, yellow sorts at and under 54s per cwt have sup ported the former currency, and are wanted, but for grainy de scriptions the demand has fallen off, and a decline in prices of is per cwt has occurred. FORElGN.—Although there arc sellers of yellow Havannah Sugar at a further reduction in prices, still the business transacted has been limited, and eonfined to two floating cargoes for a near port, one at 31s, the other consisting of 800 chests at 295, and 250 chests on the spot at 27s to 32s per cwt for low to fine quality. COFFNE.—To-day there was no public sale of any description of Coffee.

Congou of all descriptions has been in very good demand, and the rates paid ate fully equal to those pre viously established. Pouchong has been in excellent re. quest, and bring firm rates. Twankas has met with in creased attention, and the rates given are rather higher. Hyson has beu in much better request, and commands a small ad vance, for Young Hyson prices are fully as high, and a fair amount of business has been done, Gunpowder has been purchased with increased freedom, and prices have assumed an upward tendency. SPICES.—Today Nutmegs met with attention, and sold at higher rates. Mace is wanted, and brought stiffer rates. Of Cloves 22 cases 26 bags were chiefly taken in. Sriarrs.—Holders of Jamaica Rum are for the most part un willing to take lower rates, but the purchases made have been triflibg. Leaward Island commands fully late rates. Calcuta is firm in price, and in fair request at Is 10d to Is 10 %d per gallon, proof with certificate. Previous rates are sustained for Demerara.

THE LATE REAR-ADMIRAL MAITLAND.—A very beautiful white marble memorial has been placed in the chapel of this dockyard to the memory of the above gallant and distinguished officer, who presided in the office of Admiral-Superintendent in this great arsenal from 1832 to 1837, and left behind him a reputation for benevolence, goodness of heart, and humanity towards all those placed under him, which will never be forgotten while a man remains in the establishment who was employed dur ing the time of his gove rnmen t. With other circumstances which have atta:led fame and honour to the name of the !gallant deceased is associated one which must hand down his name to posterity, as connected with the most remarkable events of modern times ; we al lude to the fact of Napoleon having surrendered to him on board the Bellerophon, 78, after the disastrous affair of Waterloo, when off Rochfort, on the 15th of July, 1815, as inscribed at the foot of the memorial. The work does infinite credit to the abilities and taste of the artist (Mr. T. Campbell, of Great blarlborough-street, London), apd represents, in alto relievo, the bust of the Ad miral in his uniform beneath the folds of a cloak. The like ness is very correct, exhibiting the staid and determined character of the officer, yet blended with that expression of kindness for which the man was so well known and beloved. he work will for years tp Anse weal many recollections of bygone days in the memory of very many among the arti- Ws of the doelerard, who will have it so frequently betbre MIL The following inscription is chiselled on the bass : " To the memory of " Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland, "K.C.8., S.T., FM., and B.G.

He entered the naval service early in lin was a midshipman on board the Southampton in the nem° of the Ist of June, 1794; commanded a division of boats in Egypt in 1801; and when in command of r Bellerophon, off Rochfort, Napoleon Bonaparte, after his, feat at Waterloo, surrendered to him on the 15th of 1815.

A ' 0 By a royal decree bearing date the 18th, and publisTool the 29th of August, the duties on fish and sundry _teioll articles have been reduced nearly 50 per cent , a ' 4 "; o f ! most important to trade, particularly as indic^s,asSi change in the measures which the Neapolitan Goirew has so obstinate ly _ clung to from time immemorial. It is said the Kin is determined not to continue in frl f itli courses, and that now, by the new treaty England, he is at liberty to do as he pleases, and that wimple see see great changes in these matters. So it is that the o .. nr. of England, based on broad and liberal principles of c°_, w ; e teit cial policy, sheds its beneficial influence over all co i i r ' if with her.
