It is a great relief, amidst the noise and bluster, the insolent pretensions, and the vain threats of a certain portion of the American people, to turn to such a speech as that made by that able statesman and upright citizen, DANIEL WEBSTER, at a great meeting held in Fanueil Hall, in the city of Boston. It will be remembered that, in the same hall, Lord ASHBURTON, after concluding the Boundary treaty with Mr. WEBSTER, was welcomed with the most friendly and enthusiastic reception, and returned the compliment by an able and conciliatory speech, doing full justice to the old friends of American liberty, praising, at the same time, the patriotic and honourable conduct displayed by his opponent throughout the. whole of thedifficult negotiations, and inculcating, as a : Minister of peace, friendship, and good-will between the two most commercial States in the world. Mr. Wri3- STLR has imitated the good example, and in a speech of great length, though neither tedious nor one word too long, has taken a general view of the Oregon affair and the paramount importance of settling that question amicably and honourably for both nations. Like a man of a clear head, of true patriotic feelings, and of that skill and tact n hich experience in settling difficult points bad 'enabled him to acquire, he sees no serious obstacles to the attainment of the objects which the honourable and good mew of both countries have in view, if *e ekpept, perhaps, the wild passions excited by the outrageous pretensions of TYLER and POLK, and the mad bravadoes of the men in the Western States, who shOtit " wtirand annexation" with ceaseless fury, because they are secure in their recesses from foreign attacks. " There are man," said he, " who think that they can tan( of a Ivar with England or any other nation, and get credit for their patriotism and lofty love of country, but, keep the game in their own hands. That may not happen." This allusion to the dangerous effect of the policy pursued by the last and the present President, though he does not mention their names, is marked by a strong sense of the awful calamities which such reek less tribunes of the people may entail upon the United States anti the whole civilised world. On that point he riseato a strain of eloquence which proves the sincerity of his feeling, and which completely carried with him the 'sympathies of the assembled multitude. " The man *ho shall incautiously," exclaimed the orator, " or, . led en by false ambition, or party pride, kindle those fires of war over the globe on this question must look out for it—most expect to be himself consumed in a burning conflagration of general reproach. There will be a pub lic indignation before which no popularity, public or private, can stand—it will melt down every monument of the dead, it till destroy all respect for the living, it will • burn up every vestige of respect for individual worth, if unnecessarily, if recklessly, if ambitiously it has plunged the subjects and citizens of two civilised Christian states of the world into war—a war which shall cause the loss of millions of wealth—shall turn ci ties Co smoke—shall cost thousands and hundreds of thousands of lives ; and those smoking cities, and that destruction of property, and that sacrifice of life, shall be found over the whole globe, in every latitude and longi tude, surrounding the ball on which we live." In adverting to the well-known remarks made by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons, announcing his determina tion to maintain, at all hazards, the rights of England, he displayed the most friendly disposition and the strictest impartiality. The words of the English Mi nister that offended the pride of Mr. POLK so grievously are praised by this clear-sighted statesman, and re garded only as those which it became the representative of a great nation to utter. These remarks, as well as the conclusion to which he comes, we have great plea sure in quoting : " I read, with interest of course, the discussion upon this subject in the House of Commons three months ago, result ing in an expression of opinion from the British P r emi er , which received the sanction of that House ; and I am willing 'to avail .myself of the language of that Minister upon this -sleet, and apply it to one side of the qu e s ti on , as h e did to his. I have nothing to complain of as to the temper of -that language. lam free to say that it was a temper be coming a large-minded, liberal, and just statesman. But what the British Minister said in the House of Commons— in its sum and substan ce — was , that England had rights in regard to this question that must , be, and would be, resp e cted. I adopt the sam e l anguage on our side, and say that we have rights that ou g h t to be, and must be, andwill 'be al ) spected. Now, Id o not propose to express to youan opinion upon this subject. I h ave no better e opinion than any one of you as to the manner in which this t adjustment ought . to be m ade, but I have full confidence, utmost confidence, that it can be made; that it can L es measures in a manner perfect p l wise . and moderate perfectly consistent with the honour and with all the rights of all We ma y venture to affirm that the sentiments ex pressed in the last paragraph will be re-echoed by every good citizen in both countries; and that in a very brief s period the extravagant pretensions of the re . YLERS and the YOLKS, and the men of the " far west," will be esti mated according to their real value. We need not refer further to the speech on these topics. We have given enough to show the spirit of justice and peace which pervades it, and which we are confident will entitle it to general attention. We must, however, give one ex tract more, because it relates to a subject of the highest interest to the people of this country—the state of slavery in the United States. Deeply does Mr. WEBSTER deplore, the annexation of Texas, and, with an ardour which does him the highest honour, upbraids the Friends of Pennsylvania for their mischievous apathy on that deplorable event. His words produced the desired effect, for the people of Boston seemed heartily ashamed , of.raelktf,V444- .. " Bed , yeleh : ..

It is to me the most mournful and most awful reflection. I know that thousands of gentlemen who took such a course say that they meant well. They meant well. I am not to scrutinise their motives ; they must answer for those elsewhere ; but I beseech them now not to fall into another such mistake. It is thought (it is an idea I do not say how well founded), that there may be yet a hope for resistance to the consummation of the annexation of Texas. I can only say, for one, that if it should fall to my lot to have a vote on such a question, and I vote for the admission into this Union of any State with a constitution which prohibits even the Legislature from'ever setting the bondsman free, I shall never show my head again, depend upon it, in Fanueil Hall." Mr. ACLAIVD, one of the Members for West Somerset shire, so cruelly g:bbeted the other day, has gone to a Meeting of his constituents in another part of the county, to show cause why he should not have been " blown up." " The blowing up," said the Hon. Member, " which he had received elsewhere had induced him to come there to see if his friends in this part had changed their opinions of him." Mr. ACLAND appeals not from Paul drunk to Paul sober, but from Paul sober to Paul drunk. The Yeovil and Wincanton Society judged him dispassionately in his absence and condemned him. Mr. ACLAND appeals to Duncter, flattered and intoxicated with his condescending presence, to reverse the judg ment. Mr. ACIAND, at Dunster, makes some re• markable and valuable admissions. " This, he would say, that no man had heard him at the election make overpowering promises of being the farmer's friend. He did not think it good policy, nor was it for the good of the constituency or the country to do so. . . . He did not agree with the Anti-Corn-law League, fcr the course which it had taken was an ex ceedingly improper one; but the tone taken by those who pretended to be the farmer's friends had done more harm to the farmers than anything else. He did not know if all who then heard him were of that opinion, but look ing to wiser men than himself in the House of Commons —men who did not distinguish themselves by going about the country professing to be farmer's friends—sensible in telligent men—he felt that he had the support of their judgment, which he valued a good deal more than the opinions of those who spoke against him." There, take that, Mr. MILES, and my Lord Duke of RICHMOND. There is something much more effective in Mr. ACLAND'S great let down of the farmer's friends than in Mr. ESCOTT'S strong thrusts. It will not be supposed that we sympathise at all in the views of Mr. ACLAND'S decriers. For Mr. ACLAND himself we think that his speech at Dunster does him great credit : it is manly, sensible, and temperate; and a quiet unaspiring member of the Con servative party is not necessarily responsible for all the inconsistencies and deceptions of his leader. Mr. ACLAND'S views have been in favour of protection ; he says they are so still. It was natural for him then, in the general election of 1841, to place himself under the PEEL banner, and oppose the then Whig policy. He is not to blame that his leader has turned out a rogue. His case is the more deserving of pity, that his leader is such a successful rogue. When PEEL gives up protection, there is an end of protec tion. The Bond-street re-union, the .Duko of RICH MOND, MILEs can do nothing ; it is well, indeed, if PEEL does not lead all the farmers' friends captive, as ho does the Duke of RICHMOND, with places for the LENNOXES. Mr. ACLAND then says to himself, " What can 1 do 2 9 What indeed ? We think the following remarks of Mr. ACLAND very sensible and proper : " If people had any notion that he was opposed to protec tion, it was entirely and completely a wrong notion. At the same time he held himself free to act according to circum stances. He did not want to increase the alarm which pre vailed, and he had kept back from these meetings because a great deal of alarm had been created by interested parties. His great wish had been, so far as his small influence went, to do nothing that might make the matter worse." That is, Mr. ACLAND says about protection, as the Times might have said about railway schemes, " We see what is much to be deplored and disapproved of, but where large interests will be affected by unneces sary increase of alarm, we will do nothing to make the matter worse." But the Times has not acted in this way; and we know the result, and can judge of the motive. Mr. ACLAND, too, dooms the cora-laws, but it is needless to give more extracts from his speech. Like most of the reflecting and experienced men of his party, he sees the game is up, and all they can do is to submit patiently to their fate. We have received Madrid journals of the 21st instant but they bring no news. A good deal of business was done in the Funds on the 21st. The Three per Cents. closed at 351 cash, and 36 at 60 days: 34 millions done. Five per Cents., 24* at 60 days: one million done. Ex change on London, 37. The absorbing topic of interest at Paris en Thursday was the alarming state of the Stock and Share-market. At the opening of the Bourse the greatest depression prevailed, the panic was evidently on the increase, and for the first hour everything indiscriminately went down. The Three per Cents. fell to 81f. 40c.; shares in the Northern to 615 f., in the, Orleans to 1,050 E, and Rouen to 855 f. The gamblers, who probably b.ad con tributed to this universal panic, took advantage of . the oceasion, rushed .into the market as buyers, and the prices by half-past two had risen in consequence enor mously. Orleans rose 701., Rouen, 75f., Northern, 45f., Bordeaux 351., Boulogne 251., and Fampoux 20E Oc casional, depression took place during the brief period up to the close of the market, when most of the lines were considerably higher than on the preceding day. A general belief prevails that Government will adopt some legislatße measures for counteracting the dangerous effects of such panics and placing a greater check on gambling speculators. The National, that has uniformly warned the public against the corning catastrophe, says, " Our anticipations have been realised,' and their effects oven exceed what we previously announced. We fre quently warned the imprudent gamblers of the inevi table catastrophes which were preparing; and the present state' of affairs is calculated to inspire serious alarms. Some respectable houses are said to be embarrassed, and others to be ruined. To the difficulties of Paris are to be added the failures in the principal towns of France. Lyons, Marseilles, and Strasbourg are in a cala3t4oils position. Everywhere the f ever o f gambling has pene trated it has caused the same destruction. We dread the moment of liquidation at the end of the month, and the disasters already known cause much apprehension for others." The Prance draws the following picture of , this alarm ng calamity:—" The Cabinet had relied cin the move ment of the Bourse to arrest the political movement ; but alas ! the Bourse itself becomes an embarrassment. The mountains of paper which were negotiated with considerable premiums are offered for nothing ; they are disposed of by wholesale, and by 'weight, for a few cen times. It is no longer a panic., it is a complete rout. This great prosperity in expectation, those great pro jects of fortune which turned every head, have vanished, but not without inflicting dap wounds. The credit is strongly affected, and there is no knowing how and when it can recover. The immoderate speculation in rail road shares proceeded from the enormous profits they presented. The moment there was no longer any premium to bo. gained the capitals were with drawn, and the negotiation of the shares con sequently became more and more difficult. This is a great evil, for the capital usually vested in industry and commerce, and which had been momentarily dis placed to purchase shares, is now actually locked up and unavailable. The results are a penury of money, an almost impossibility to obtain discounts, and embarrass ments in trade and industry. Business is languid and nearly at a stand at the commencement of a winter which threatens to be rigorous and attended with a famine." The Reforme states that eight bankruptcies were declared at the Paris Tribunal of Commerce on Monday, their engagements amounting to 2 ,000,000 E (80,0001.) The directors of some of the companies formed for the Paris and Strasbourg line of railway, have announced their intention of returning to their sub scribers the full amount of their subscriptions. ,The Company d'Anthouard, which was the only one that did not enter into the fusion, has also announced that it will repay to its subscribers the whole of the amount of their subscriptions on the 29th inst. and subsequent days. Such conduct is highly honourable. The thirty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of the KING and QUEEN, which was solemnised at Naples on the 25th November, 1809, was celebrated on Wednesday, at St. Cloud, as a day of rejoicing to the Royal Family and the household. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg arrived at St. Cloud on Tuesday frem England.

Rouge arrived here yesterday with his brother ; thus all the reports are found to be false that he would not come to Berlin on his return from his tour in Southern and Western Germany. The Chevalier Barbosa, the new Portuguese Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, will deliver his credentials in a few days. A report is spread to-day through the whole city that an old and wealthy dancer has been attacked in his own house by robbers, in the same mann-r as Mr. Keith, who lost his life in conse quence. HANOVER, Nov. 22.—Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, his Royal Highness the Electoral Prince and Co-Regent of Hesse Cassel, who has passed two days in this city, left it to return to Cassel. His Majesty the King has conferred on his Royal Highness the order of St. George and the Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order. It is positively affirmed that the Minister of the Interior intends to have the iron railway from Hanover to Bre men proceeded with as speedily as possible. POSEN, Nov. 14.—The Pope's Bull for the benedic tion of mixed marriages has really arrived here ; but we doubt whether the execution of it will satisfy the parties interested, unless they will be content with this civil marriage, for the benediction, a:cording to the new Bull, is not much more, for the priest only takes from the parties the promise to be faithful to each other. POSEN, Nov. 18.—To-day again several persons of consequence have been arrested. Besides this, other arrests have taken place, so that the number of our in -habitants who are now lodged in our prisons is nearly forty ; we say nothing of the persons arrested else where, who are daily brought in. To-day a detachment of infantry, consisting of t a.° officers and eighty pri vates, arrived from Genesen, to reinforce the garrison, and especially to strengthen the several posts. The citadel is now closed against everybody at ten o'clock at night. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 18.—The Gazette of Fahnn states that there are now 14,000 of the labouring classes in Upland without employment. The Governor of Westarae offers rein-deer moss at low prices to those who suffer for want of bread. It is reported that the distilling of brandy will be pro hibited ; but perhaps a general abstinence, at the in stance of our very active temperance societies, may ren der such a prohibition unnecessary. BERLIN, Nov. 21. The Consistorial Councillor Snethlage has returned from his mission. We under stand that ten German States have resolved to send depu- ties to the Council to be held at Berlin. The Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs is said to have sent to Czerski in Scheneidemuhl, Post in Posen, Bernard in Thorn, and Sylvester in Chodgiesen, the four protesting Catholic clergymen, calling on them to agree to a united and special confession of faith on which they may be recognised by the State. THE HAGUE, Nov. 28.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-General to-day, a royal mes sage was received with a project of law relative to the support of the indigent, accompanied by an explanatory memorial. In the same sitting, after a long debate, a law for regulating the surplus colonial revenue for 1844 was agreed to by a majority of 41 to 11. PRUSSIAN FUNDS.—BERLIN, Nov. 25. Bills. Money.

There is a prospect of the squatting question being satisfactorily settled. We are to have leases on reasonable conditions. For this boon the colony is in debted to the unwearied exertions and great abilities dis played by Mr. Benjamin Boyd, the Chairman of the Pastoral Association of New South Wales, and Member of Council for the district of Port Philip, in conducting the struggle between the squatters and the Colonial. Government." CABINET COUNCIL.—We understand that the seve ral members of the Cabinet intend to remain in town until after Tuesday next, on which day there will be another Cabinet Council. TERMINUS IN THE STRAND.—WEST-END AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES RAILWAY METROPOLITAN TERMINI The Fleet-prison, Farringdon-market, and Moorgate having been marked out for the termini of Northern, &c. lines, the West-end and Southern Counties have given notice of their intention to apply for a Bill to bring thei r ra il way over Waterloo-bridge, and 'form the terminus in Lancaster-place, extending to the Strand, and covering the unoccupied area and wharf frontage to the Savoy. This plan does not involve the disfigurement of the architectural design of the bridge. ' A RELICT.—Died in the Lambley Hospital, on Saturday night last, Mr. T. Evans, aged 82 years. He was the last surviving victim of the cruelty of the Tories in 1794, the year of the " ducking." On Thursday, the 3d of July in that sear, he was ducked in the canal, near the Eastcroft bridge, because of his political principles, and was pinioned, while undergoing the infliction, as a felon. In his case, as i n many others we could c it e , persecution only contributed to strengthen preconceived opinions, and promote their exten sion. Thomas Evans lived to see the truth of his principles generally acknowledged, and maintained his consistency throughout life. Nottingham .Review. We learn from the Baltic ports that a considera ble quantity of wheat has been in the course of exporta tion for this conntry, indeed a much larger amount than was expected to be *sent at the present advanced season of the year. It may be expected that the navigation in the north of Europe will soon be blocked up by ice.—Leeds Times. VALUE OF PLANTATIONS.--A sale of wood took place at Inverness on Tuesday, which forcibly illustrates the value of plantations. The quantity sold:was 76 imperial, or 60i Scots acres of fir wood on the estate of Tarradale, Ross shire, and the price was 2,560/., or 39/. per acre. The planta tion is just forty-two years old; and if we reckon the thin nings for the last twenty years at 14/. per acre, the laud has produced 1/. ss. per acre during the whole period it has been under wood. What adds to this remarkable result is, that the plantation disposed of was by no means extraordinary for growth Indeed it is sold, for the purpose of being replaced by larch, as more congenial to the soil. That gratify ing result (added to that lately recorded by Mr. Grigor of the Balnagown woods, and many others of a similar nature which we have described) should stimulate our northern pro prietors to increased exertions in this important branch of rural improvement. There are many light soils and bare hills, at present unsightly and unproductive that might thus be made almost as valuable a s arable land, and certainly more valuable than pasture. Ilighland properties are daily becoming of more importance, and we anticipate still further advantage when we have railway communication to convey agricultural produce and transport heavy timber to the coast, besides multiplying facilities for social intercourse and the transaction of business.—lnverness~Courier. Tax TICKET BILL.—The framework-knitters, as a body, are doubtless aware that the Ticket Bill of last session will become law on the Ist of January, and that the bill will compel each manufacturer to give a ticket upon delivery of work, specifying the quality and the price of the said work. This has already caused much confusion in the ranks of the middle men or agents, and attempts are now b e i ng ma d e to make up the loss whi c h they will sustain through the Ticket Bill, by reducing the men's starvation prices. One individual offered plain silk half hose, last week, at 6d. per dozen less . than some of the employers, and ls. less than others This would have been a reduction of ls. 6d. in the one case, and 3s. in the other, in a week's earnings. The men resisted this encroachment, and as the work was wanted, the master con sented togive the price; but the individual who first refused to work under price he has turned away, or, to use his own words, " boiled off ;". he also refused to give him more than seven pair of hose, that came to 4s. Bd., from which he de ducted 2s. 6d. for frame rent, leaving him 2s. 2d. to subsist upon the ensuing week. The association, however, have aken the man under their protection. HIGHWAY ROBBER Y.—L ONG SUTTON.--WO re gret to find that another highway robbery has bean perpe trated in the county of Somerset. Mr. John Gaylard, of Knowle, Long Sutton, on his return from Somerton, market, on Tuesday evening, was stopped by si x highway men, who dragged him off his horse, tied his legs to ge th er, and robbed him of a 5/. no t e, and other money; 40/. reward is offered. We hope the scoundrels will be detected. We are inclined to believe that an organised gang of highway robbers exist in Somerset, and we think it is a very proper question for the magistracy to consider the advisableness of specially appointing officers to endeavour to rid the county Aof the disgrace and dangei - Whiai these ruffians °coition.— erborne Journal, TITE SUN LONnoN, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1845.

In the week to Nov. 8, the 197 private banks had notes out to the amount of 4,638,4511., and't he 70 joint-stock banks of 3,226,5031., making together 7,864,9541. for the week; whereas, to Nov. 1, the circulation was 8,011,424/. Still, on the month to the Bth inst., there is an increase shown. The private banks are below their fixed issue by 267,918/., and the joint-stock by 135,2851. At the private meeting which was held yesterday of the merchants, bankers, and others, att he London Tavern, pre liminary measures were taken to give a public and general demonstration in favour of a total and entire repeal of the corn-laws. We have every reason to believe, from the preparations in progress, that the "City of London" will speak out upon this subject in terms not to be misunderstood. The commercial accounts by the Caledonia from America are not of any special interest. The weekly return of the operations of the Bank of England for the past week gives the following results upon a comparison with the items of its predecessor:— In the amount of notes issued there is an increase of 61,865/., or to 27,036,550/. In the rest there is an increase of 7,4671., or to 3,252,2091. In the public deposits there has been an addition of 838,334/., or to 7,3g3,168/. In the other Deposits there is an increase of 125,093/., or to 9,024,223/. In the Seven Day, and other Bills, there is a slight de crease. In the Bullion there is a slight reduction of 10,585/, or to 13,559,501/. Consols for the Account have been heavy again to-day.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. p _ 23/4 14 24 1% A LONG-LOST WATCH FOUND.—A man named John Snowden lost his watch upon the moors of Northum berland in the year 1836, and in his rambles only last week discovered his long-lost timepiece, near Croglin Water Head, where it had no doubt lain ever since it was lost. He took it up, and having wound it up, to his surprise the little monitor instantly resumed its former movements, has continued going ever since, and kept time with great regularity. The cases and inside works were not in the least injured, with the ex ception of the steel spring which fastens the outer case, which was much rusted. It is very remarkable that no water had penetrated into the inside, although it had lain nine years ex posed to the winter's pelting storms, and the scorching rays of the summer's sun, and must have been many times em bedded-in deep snows.—Cumberland Pacquet.

They went away at a splitting rate, and the first mile was performed in 3 minutes 18 seconds, the mare at a slight lead, which she maintained to the conclusion of the second mile; which was covered in 3 minutes and 28 seconds. At the fourth mile the mare was in advance, when she broke, and the horse took the lead, and concluded five miles in 17 minutes and 56 seconds. On the turn of the sixth mile the mare had succeeded in coming up, and a good race ensued till within half-a-mile of the winning mark ; the driver of the horse tried every effort to pass his opponent without success, and the mare came in the winner by fifty yards. The eight miles of road were trotted over in 28 minutes and 16 seconds. A SIGNIFICANT FACT.—The steam slave-vessel lately captured off the coast of Africa was American built, with her high-pressure engines, and worked by American engineers. The nature of her propelling power—whether it is the screw, the screw-auxiliary, or the paddle-wheel—is doubtful. When captured, she had on board a cargo of &Tea. PORTSMOUTH Nov. 27.—Her Maj es ty' s mor t ar - s t eamer Scourge has this day' been commissioned by Commander J. C. Caffin. She is to have a'crew of 145—officers, seamen, and marines. Her Majesty's sloop Nimrod, 20, at Devon port, and the Harpy, a new steam-vessel, recently built and fitted at Blackwall, but since moved to Woolwich, are also or dered to be commissioned. Gunners and seamen gunners from the Excellent, at this port, will be selected and sent to them forthwith. Those for ber Majesty's ship Grampus went to Woolwich'yesterday in the Emerald cutter. The Thalia, 42, was paid off this day; the payment was superintended by Mr. Purdo, the senior master-attendant of the dock-yard, in the absence of Rear-Admiral Parker, on leave. A few minutes before the payment commenced. Captain Hope assembled the men on deck, and addressed them on separating, after being together upwards of four years. He . commended their general good conduct during this period, and on his concluding, the people gave him hearty cheers. The Fairy yacht goes down to Cowes daily, to be in at tendance on her Majesty, but the weather has been so boisterous and wet, that neither her Majesty nor Prince Albert have been cn board since Tuesday. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle went down to Osborne-house yesterday, in the Fanny yacht, to pay his respects. Her Majesty has signified her wish, that on these visits to the Isle of Wight, the attendance of members of the Board of Admiralty is to be dispensed with in future; hence the non-appearance of any of their Lordships on Tuesday. Any commands she may wish to give will be executed by the Commander-in-Chief. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Commander Crispin, and the second master of the Fairy, are the executive officers in her ; neither lieutenant or mate is on board. No mates have been appointed to the yacht since Messrs. Hobart, D'Aeth, and the Hon. J. M. Byng have been promoted. The Admiralty, being desirous of keeping up the full complement of seamen gunners in her Majesty's ship Ex cellent, the gunnery depot at Portsmouth have this week issued orders to the Commanders-in-chief at Plymouth. Portsmouth, Sheerness, and Woolwich, that, on ships or vessels being paid off, the captains or commanding officers are to assemble the seamen, and offer to them their Lord ships' permission (should they give in their names, and think fit to volunteer for the Excellent) for each man to have six weeks leave of absence before finally joining her ; and on joining to be secured their present ratings, or higher ratings if entitled thereto by conduct and ability ; also, during their six weeks' leave, to have their pay and sea time going on ; and if at the expiration of the six weeks they should be at any outport, the senior officer at such outport on their presenting themselves, to cause them and their baggage to be' provided with a free passage to Portsmouth, in some Go vernment vessel. The seamen are, however. to understand that the leave is limited to six weeks, and the advantages of pay and time will not be granted beyond that period, without the most satisfactory reasons (corroborated by re spectable testimony) being assigned for the delay in re joining. The measure will doubtless work well, and without much expense; for if a sailor changes his mind and does not ap pear on board the Excellent, at the expiration of his leave, nothing is granted, the victualling not commencing until he has been on board. To the seamen, the six weeks' time may be of essential importance, in the calculation for his pension for length of seticce. ••• . iilr Ail ERICAN NEW S ' ' -------- ARRIVAL OF T HE CALEDONIA.
