The Mayor of Liverpool having declined to call a town meeting for the purpose of memorialising Government on the threatened scarcity in Ireland, a public meeting of the in habitants was held last night at the Royal Amphitheatre. The doors were opened shortly after six o'clock, but long before that hour a vast crowd filled Queen-square and Great Charlotte-street. The rush on the opening of the doors was tremendous, and in about ten minutes the house was literally overflowed, thousands outside pressing eagerly but uselessly for admission. W. BROWN, Esq., took the chair, and when silence was restored, he proceeded as follows :—Gentlemen, you have done me the honour to request that I would preside over your deliberations this evening. I have no doubt that you will give me all the support you can, in order that every gentleman who may be pleased to state his views to this assembly on the present unpleasant position in which you are placed from the failure of the potato crop and the deterioration 'of the wheat crop, may do so gentleman gentlemen, t oo with satisfaction to himself.—(H ear , h ear .) I d o n rdetrl: butatit iwnillsucbhe an n ecessary for event call a suppose, y me to exerci se the privilege of a chairman to taking place, I have no doubt I shall have your cordial sup port to maintain the authority of the chair.—(Hear.) Gen tlemen, the friend who was pleased to nominate me as your chairman this evening, has already informed you that a re quisition was sent to our chief magistrate, signed by 5,800 of his fellow-townsmen—gentlemen of different religious per suasions, and of all political parties.—(Hear, and cheers.) That requisition requested that his worship would call us to gether to deliberate and to consider what measures we should adopt to alleviate the distresses which are likely to overtake a large and humble class of our fellow-subjects. To that re. quisition, Gentlemen, he was pleased to answer that he did not think the time was come for calling us together under his auspices.—(Laughter and hisses.) But, Gentlemen, to put you in full possession of the respectful requisition that was sent to him, and the very letter of his answer, I think it will be best to read both for your consideration ; and as my voice is none of the best, my excellent friend, Mr. Cooke, has promised to relieve me of that part of my d u ty. H e w ill also be good enough io read the requisition of a number of your fellow-townsmen—the mayor having declined to call us to gether—requesting that we should assemble under the pro tectior. of the Constitution to express our own opinions fully and fairly to her Majesty's Government.—(Hear and cheers.) Mr. J. B. Coosa here read the requisition to the Mayor, together with the Mayor's reply. , The CifaittstaN then - continued os follOWs :=—Gentlifneif, that the first requisition to the Mayor, and the second re quisition to you, was signed on no light grounds, I think we have very ample materials to show.—(Hear.) The first that I shall bring under your consideration is correspondence that took place between Lord Cloncurry and the Prime Minister. The Government were so sensible of the danger that threat ened the country from famine that they assured his Lordship that it occupied the most serious consideration of Ministers. The next that I shall call your attention to is the Mark Lane Express—a paper that is the avowed organ of the agricultural interests of the country. The Express tells us, and reiterates the statement from week to week, that many cargoes of po tatoes have arrived in the Thames so very decayed and rotten that they were thrown overboard.—(Hear, hear). It also leads us to believe that the accounts from all parts of the kingdom are by no means favourable to the preservation of the potato crop throughout the winter, for the sustenance of those who live, most unfortunately, on that description of food. Every newspaper throughout the kingdom has from time to time reiterated the same facts; and that we are not now in a state of distress, when we are paying 400,0001. a week more for provisions than we were paying this time twelve months, is what you will not readily believe.—( Hear, and applause). I will also call your attention to resolutions passed in Dublin, at a meeting at the Mansion-house, where Lord Cloncurry pre sided, and the Lord Mayor was present ; and perhaps my ex cellent friend, Mr. Cooke, will again do me the favour of reading those resolutions, for they are satisfactory to my mind, and I think they will be perfectly satisfactory to your minds also, that the grounds upon which we have assembled to-night are no light grounds, taking into consideration the evils likely to arise from the disease of the potato crops during the winter and the coming spring. THOMAS THORNELY, Esq., M.P., then rose and said—Gen tlemen, there are many of us here present who have all our lives been free traders. There are many of you, gentlemen, I trust, who have long entertained free trade opinions; and as to the rest of you, gentlemen, if you have not already adopted them, I beg that you will direct your attention to the present crisis of distress, and I think that you will then agree with those of us who have long entertained those opinions which I have expressed, that there ought to be an immediate end put to those laws which prohibit the free importation of food into the United Kingdom.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, I have lately made some inquiries in our corn markets as to the prices of grain—particularly in the month of May last and in the present month of November—l found that the wheat of the old crop of Ireland in May last was at 6s. 3d. per 70 lbs. ; that the same article of wheat of the old Irish crop is now at 9s. 3d.—that is an advance of nearly 50 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) I found that oats in the month of May were at 3s. per 45 lbs., and that they are now at 3s. 2d. for the same quantity; that meal was at 225. 6d. per 40 lbs., and that it is now at 345.—(Loud cheers.) Now, gentlemen, it pleased the Legislature, as you all recollect, some time ago, to im pose an income-tax upon all persons whose incomes ex ceeded 1501. per year, to an amount of something like 3 per cent. ; and, gentlemen, great was the outcry throughout the country, and numerous were the petitions most properly presented to Parliament against this tax ; but here is a tax —an advance in the prices of food between the months of May and November, which has abstracted from the pockets of the poor man, not a 3 per cent., but an enormous tax, which renders it a difficult thing for that excellent class of the people—the labouring class of this country, of which I shall never speak without respect—(Loud cheers)—to avoid great misery and great suffering in the crisis which is so likely to increase. —(Hear.) Well, now, gentlemen, several of the great towns of this country, seeing what is before us, have come forward and addressed the Prime Minister, to express their sense of the approaching famine. The people of Manchester were called together by the Man chester men ; the people of Salford also ; the people of Birmingham have expressed their opinions ; the people of Sheffield have done the same ; the men of Leeds have called together the people of that great manufacturing town ; and all these have unanimously adopted the measure of addressing the Prime Minister on our present prospects.--(Cheers.) And 1 have also heard that the inhabitants of the City of London will be convened, in a short time, to express their opinions. —(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, our respected Chairman has in formed you of our proceedings—of having addressed the Mayor ; and I must say we should have shown ourselves a cowardly set of people if we had been prevented by any cir cumstances from meeting in this place, and expressing our opinions.—(Cheers.) My friend, Mr. Thomas Baines will read to you some further reports, of a most extraordinary character, of the loss of the potato crop. In the meantime, from what the Chairman has stated, from the public proceed ings in Ireland, and from what you have seen here at home in Lancashire, you cannot for a moment doubt that serious damage has been inflicted, generally, on the potato crop. I was in London but a few days since, and I was there informed that at one of the wharfs of the Thames vessels had arrived laden with a thousand tons of potatoes from Yorkshire; that those potatoes were so completely destroyed that the vessels were ordered to be taken into the middle of the Thames, and that the potatoes had been then thrown overboard.—(Hear.) But a couple of days ago I read a letter from a clergyman residing in a remote part of Ireland, ordering from Liverpool a quantity of rice, to avert, as he said, the approaching fa mine under which the people will suffer. Well, now, Gen tlemen, what is to be done? I say that, as it is apparent to the people that these deficiencies in the potato crop are so seri ous, and the injury done to the wheat crop have deprived them of their resources, it is incumbent upon the Prime Minister to call Parliament together ; to say then what his convictions are—if they can be called convictions ;—and he would come to the conclusion, which I think he ought already to have come to, if he could have divested himself of ancient prejudices in favour of the sliding scale—that those laws prohibiting the entrance of food into the kingdom ought to be repealed.— (Cheers.) It is known that her Majesty the Queen, by the advice of the Privy Council, might admit provisions free of duty until the time of the meeting of Parliament, and I think, gentlemen, that if her Majesty were to do so, such an order in Council would be the strongest evidence in our favour; be cause, by so doing, it would be admitting that the present laws are defective, and ought to be abolished.—(Cheers.) It is extraordinary that in this great town of Liverpool, where you receive from every corner of the world, every day of your life, articles of foreign production, where you see all such ar ticles bonded at the Custom-house, that you never see such a thing as an importation of food.—(Hear, hear.) It is extra ordinary, gentlemen, that,lin this town of Liverpool, if you go into the ship-building yards, you see the ingenuity of your ship-builders displayed in considering in which way they shall construct a ship to carry the greatest quantity of merchandise, and to sail with the greatest facility; it is ex traordinary that you in Liverpool were the first people of the world who constructed a railway—that between Liver pool and Manchester—and that the principle of which has been since, and is now being imitated throughout Europe and America—that you constructed that railway, and con struct others to save time and give speed to your under takings ; it is extraordinary, I say, doing this, that you should submit to those laws, whereas the importation of wheat, flour, grain, and meal, are essential to the happiness and welfare of mankind ;—that, I say, you should submit to laws which, instead of allowing the distribution of these, stop them at the very threshold, place them in bond, and render them as lost —(Loud cheers.) I say you are the most inconsistent people in the world, if you build a ship to sail with speed, construct a railroad to gain speed and save time, and yet allow wheat, and flour, and provisions of all kinds, to be taken from you and placed in bonded warehouses, in stead of circulating and giving cheap food and comfort to the people. Gentlemen, there are at this time no less than from 700,000 to 800,000 quarters of wheat and flour lying in bonded warehouses in this kingdom ; this is wanted to grind with the new and soft wheat, the produce of this last harvest ; but you allow it to be bonded, and this misirable wheat of our own production is prevented yielding such good flour as it would have done if it had been properly mixed. There has been a suggestion made, and the time may come when, if no other plan is resorted to, we may propose that it be followed—that by subscriptions we shall seek to relieve the sufferings of our fellow-subjects ; but I will tell you this, that if each man subscribes to the full extent of his means, it would not add one ounce of food for the consumption of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It would only bring more competitors into the market and raise the prices of provisions. The only way of reducing the prices of food, and so lessen the distress is—instead of increasing prices by subscriptions, to open the ports—(Loud cheers)—and thus to compel the Ministers and Parliament to supply us as we would ourselves do, if left to ourselves.— (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, before the close of these proceed ings you will be called upon, 1 understand, to concur in a me morial to Sir Robert Peel, as First Lord of the Treasury, ex pressing your opinions on the present state of affairs. You will state, in your memorial, your serious apprehensions of famine—of universal famine ; and really, whe heathrowst the state of our fellow subjects in Ireland, my f r be within me to think of the misery that will inevitablyos occasioned to that people, whose only means has a u ltogether is the potato crop, which, as we all know, that that most failed.—(Hear, hear.) I am indeed ha Pl* . industrious people have found so much and such liberal em ployment in the commercial and man ufacturing towns of England, at a higher rate of wages t ha n that given them at re useful in our docks and in home. I rejoice that they a th' t l 1 that, in respec , the coral labour generally. l am g towns of En land afford so much mercial and manufacturing but ople of Ireland; still the distress employment it the pe and misery impending in that country are such as to clezugid REMINGTON'S LINE, TRENT VALLEY, CHESTER, and HOLY HEAD CONTINUATION RAILWAY. he Committee of Management have the satisfaction to announce to the Shareholders that the Plans, Sections, and Books of Reference of this line, were all duly deposited on the 29th ult. at the office of the Board of Trade, pursuant to Standing Orders, and that in fulfilment of their pledge they resolve on going to Parliament in the ensuing session.

THE REGISTRATION IN LANCASHIRE.—The public in Manchester and its vicinity, or rather the free-traders in these localities, are responding to the call of the League to qualify for the counties in good earnest : within a week more than 100 applications have been made. That the members will increase in something like arithmetical progression up to the 31st January, 1846, there is every reason to expect, judging from present appearances. The higher class of Re formers, now that the plan is likely to succeed, are qualifying themselves, and for such counties as apparently stand most in need of such assistance. A regular canvass in districts will be resor;,ed to, in order that no stray free-trader may escape, The feeling on this great question is evidently most intense, and the prospect of an early repeal of the corn-laws is giving such an impulse in the right direction, that the monopolists must, it is pretty clear, strike their colours. The League is at work late and early.— Leeds Mercury. BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF Losnori.—The ninth anniversary meeting of this Society was held on Satur day, J. E. Gray,Esq., F. R.S., President, in the chair. From the report of the Council, it appeared that sixteen new members had been elected since the last anniversary meeting, and that the Society now consisted of 182 members. The President congratulated the members upon the progress the Society had wade, and pointed out the advantages it held out to botanists. The report was unanimously adopted, after which a ballot took place for the Council for the ensuing year, when the Chairman was re-elected President, and he nominated J. Alters, Esq., F.R.S., and Edward Doubleday, Esq., F.L.S., Vice-Presidents. The meeting was very fully attended. Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re gistered Palotot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease. Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also a general public favourite, being SO peculiarly English, and avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must be ac knowledged as a vast improvement over the old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an uncomfortable sensa tion of tight buttonings, which, from its very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the person, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood. The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive ; also the clerical mixture called Oxford, and can be bad of the patentees, or only of the most respectable clothiers )ut of London.

[ADVERTISEM EN y.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtaes of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street , who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the changes are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless.

He was also for seven weeks under the care of l‘lr.

This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward, and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with Southport and the west coast of Lancashire. One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles in length, and will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven relies of Preston, and thirty-three miles of Blackburn. Another portion of the under taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's, in the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Railway in Pendleton. By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester, sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts in like proportion ; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive means of transport, the dispatch and economy of a thorough railway communication. The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness and variety. This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive means of access to Southport, the numbers resorting thither are very great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase. The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the gradients highly favourable. There are no , engineering difficulties, and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse quently In the success, of the undertaking.

We have, Gentlemen, within forty-eight hours, been surprised and delighted with the declara tions of two of the most distinguished statesmen of this country in favour of those views which most of us here present have entertained for so long a time, and which your presence here shows you also generally entertain—l speak, Gentlemen, of the admirable address written by Lord John Russell, at Edinburgh—(Cheers)—to his constituents, the elect ors o f th e c i ty o f L ondon.—( cheers.) Gentlemen, I honour—l respect Lord John Russell for that clear and that definite declaration at such a moment. Lord John Russell is a statesman of high character and of great intellect, to whom no one, let him be a political oppo nent entertaining political opinions however strongly ad verse, will deny the possession of abilities of a high order— (Hear, hear)—that he is a man of the greatest integrity, energy of mind, and benevolence of purpose.—(Loud and long-continued cheers.) That declaration of Lord John Rus sell goes to this effect :—That the time has gone by for pro posing a fixed duty; that the approach of the close of har vest should no longer be attended by those anticipations, so often realised, of failure and of consequent distress—(Hear) —but that every impediment to the importation and to the free and unqualified circulation of food should be swept away. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, there is another statesman—l mean Lord Morpeth-L(Loud cheers )-whose characterland talents are, like those of Lord John Russell, of the very highest order —whose character• is equally unblemished; and he has, within the last two or three days, written a letter, which was read at a public meeting. held the other day at Sheffield, ex pressing his individual opinion—an opinion come to without consultation with any other and without concert—that the corn-laws ought to be entirely abolished.—(Loud cheers). To those gentlemen who have been working through a long series of years, for the obtaining of the abolition of these laws, such declarations coming from these quarters could not but prove satisfactory, and might further, be received as very convincing testimonials that the doctrines they held and maintained were right and sound.—(Loud deers.) And now it is is our power, I believe and am convinced, by a firm, and unqualified, and conscientious expression of our sentiments—sentiments embodied in the resolution I am about to read, and in others which will be read too, and which will be carried by you—to put an end, at once and for ever, to the abominable and detestable existing corn-laws.—(Tre mendous cheers.) Mr. Thornely concluded by proposing and moving the following resolution :—" That the alarming failure in the potato crop throughout the United Kingdom, confirmed in the case of Ireland by several reports from tl4e Cornnitssiiiner.4'spedially'atiiinted - bl her 'Majesty's Govern ment to investigate the subject, and by other persons of un questionable veracity, together with the injury done to the wheat crop, art! calculated to excite the most serious appre hensions of imp = ending famine." LAWRENCE HEYWORTII, Esq., seconded the resolution. Mr. BAINES read a long report stating the condition of the potato crop. W. RATRBONE, Esq., proposed the next resolution—" That we have now assembled for the purpose of expressing our strong convictions of the responsibility which rests upon her Majesty's confidential advisers, if they do not take imme diate steps to avert, as far as possible, the awful consequences of a deficient supply of the necessaries of life." A. H. WYLIE, Esq., seconded the resolution. Dr. BLACKBURN read the following resolution :—" That we find, from daily experience, that in all the articles we obtain from foreign nations, and which are left to the natural opera tions of commerce, there is always procurable an abundant supply for the wants of the community ; that we therefore believe that it is owing to the restrictions imposed by the corn and provision laws that there is not every year a store of foreign grain ample enough to dispel the well-founded alarm which is now inseparable from a failure in our own harvests; that the operation of these laws is generally to impoverish the labouring classes, and to reduce them to the coarsest description of food on which existence can be supported; that we are firmly convinced that the failure of their only principal means of subsistence among that large and helpless portion of our fellow-subjects, un less in some degree remedied by the instant admission of all kinds of provisions duty free, will be productive ef con sequences too fearful to contemplate ; that we, therefore, consider it the bounden duty of the Queen's responsible advisers to advise her Majesty immediately to summon the Parliament, for the purpose of recommeeding the total and immediate abolition of a system which has been justly said to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, and the cause of penury, and fever, and crime, among the people.' " He then said, This resolution contains a very important sen timent—one which we would do well to understand thoroughly in all its bearings and with all its necessary limitations. It does not assert that our corn-laws are the cause of deficiency in the harvest, or that any possible arrangement of law could prevent those casualties to which the crops of all countries are in the very nature of things, and, by the ordination of Providence, always ex posed. Nor does it at all imply that a considerable failure in the produce of the ground is not a serious calamity in itself, calculated to entail great suffering on the humbler classes in whatever part of the world it may occur.—(Hear.) The great national evil which the corn-laws are intended to protect us from is, in plain terms—a cheap and abundant supply of food—certainly the oddest kind of national evil that ever was heard of.—(Cheers and laughter.) And we are not left to conjecture upon this subject, but are plainly told so by the monopolists themselves. When the Duke of Rich mond said, " We don't grow glass, but we do grow timber"— when Sir Edward Knatchhull waxed lachrymose about mar riage settlements and daughters' portions—and when Mr. Miles, the acknowledged leader of the landowners' party, stood up in his place in the House of Commons, and rated the Premier in good set terms, because divers articles, such as butter, cheese, and bacon, had been too cheap, imputing it to Sir Robert as a crime and a violation of an implied com pact—that he had not kept up prices as was expected by his supporters—the real purpose of the corn-laws comes out. The more knowing ones of the party talk in a different style, and wrap up their statements in a sort of misty verbiage in tended to deceive and delude ; but these simpletons blab— (Cheers)—the secret; and as Arr. Escott said the Other day, they damage their own cause most effectually. And is it indeed to come to Ulla? - Are the poeple of Englaild.Scot land, and Ireland, to bow down their necks any longer beneath this yokb? Let them now speak out—promptly —clearly—loudly—in a voice that cannot be mistaken. Let them, in tones that shall reverberate through the halls of legislation, and ascend up to the palace of the em: pire, tell those haughty oligarchs—who by their corn-laws and their game-laws now trample down the people like mire in the streets—that we will be their slaves no longer.— (Great cheering). In this way, and in this way only, will the victory of truth, and righteousness, and benevolence, be secured. In this way, and in this way only, will the grim and gory dragon of monopoly be hurled from his throne, amid the joyous hallelujahs of emancipated millions. Dr. Black burn resumed his seat amid thunders of applause. Mr. J. Bria.Ncn - En was introduced. He said :—Fellow townsmen, after the very excellent speech of our respected filend, Dr. Blackburn, you will, I am sure, quite agree with me, that the less I say the better.—(Laughter and cheers). I shall, therefore, confine myself to heartily recommending to you the motion which he has proposed, and in seconding it myself.—(Cheers.) R. SHEIL, Esq., having addressed the meeting at consider able length, Mr. CROOKE read the memorial, embodying the previous resolutions. The memorial was adopted, and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. ;30. —The Athol troop-ship, on her way to Jamaica, with royal artillery, is at Spithead, to have a few defects made good, and some additional scuttles cut, to give more air and light on the lower deck. She will be finished to-morrow, and sail on Tuesday. The Trincomalee, a teak 42-gun frigate, cut down and altered to a 26-gun ship, was floated out of dock yesterday, and will be fitted for commission without delay. She is to be armed with four 68-pounders on the main deck ; two 82 pounders on the upper-deck, and the other 20 guns will be 32-pounders. The alterations made in her construction have been the suggestion of Mr. Corry, the secretary to the Ad miralty. She retains the bew of the Leda and Juno class, and appears a fine vessel. The Wanderer, 16, and the Childers, 16, have put into dock to repair, and be got ready for commission. The Ratler, screw steamer, is in dock to have a great hole cut through the after part of her frame, to admit of her screw propeller being unshipped when necessary, and hoisted upon deck. The place will resemble the well of a fishing yawl, and is to be lined with copper. Much trouble and delay will be saved by this method of getting at the propeller, when it requires inspection, or repair, as now it must be re moved from the outside, and got up over the vessel's quarter. By simply having a rope made fast to the main boom, it can be hoisted on deck with ease. The Rattler is, if possible, to be got ready for sea by Saturday next, but to what part of the globe she is to be sent is at present all rumour and con jecture. The Scourge, mortar steamer, has entered a few men, and her officers being appointed, she will commence rigging and fitting next week. It is expected that the 56-pounder gun, which she has in at present, will be exchanged for a 10 inch 84-pounder, and two carronades added. The Fairy yacht continues daily trips to Cowes to receive the commands of her Majesty. The Commander-in-Chief had the honour of dining at Osborne House on Friday. He was the only guest, except the usual dinner party. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has expressed his intention to come to the dockyard some day this week to inspect the royal apartments in the Admiralty-house. NAVAL RETIREMENT.—The extended time for the captains of the navy to send in their names for acceptance of the offca of th, Ad • cdtj - to iodic ivyu thy in,roosood allowance of ss. 6d. per diem, with other advantages, expires this day. It is confidently reported among naval people that 280 cap tains have accepted it. If so, there is little doubt but the measure will be carried out. A few days must determine the business, as those officers who have signified their wishes to the Admiralty must receive official notice, either that their names have been placed on a retired list, or that the contemplated plan cannot be effected. The number of offi cers on the Admiral's list is 154, and it is intended to red . u,, 0 it by promoting one captain to that rank on the deatft three admirals. PROMOTIONS.

DEVONPORT, Nov. 28.—The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia still remains in Plymouth Sound, in the Ingerman land, detained by contrary winds. His Imperial Llighness has made several valuable presents. Among a variety of others, he has presented to Mr. William Edye, master-ship wright of this Dockyard, a diamond ring ; and he has also presented to Mr. Llewellyn, foreman in the Dockyard, who superintended the work of the artificers on board the Russian ships, a gold watch. The Grand Duke likewise ordered 201. to be given to the widow of a shipwright named Libbey, who fell into the water from a stage erected outside the Prince of Warsaw, and subsequently died of pulmonary apoplexy. The Russian ships have received a supply of British provisions, at which the crews are highly delighted, their ordinary fare being of a much coarser description. The Ringdove and Rapid brigs are being prepared for commission with the greatest possible dispatch, and will be ready at Christmas. Indeed the greatest activity prevails in this Dockyard, and the men employed on the two above-named ships work extra hours, as well as several other gangs. (From the Devonport Independent.) RETURN DINNER GIVEN ON BOARD HIS IMPERIAL MA i JESTY'S SIIIP INGERMANLAND, BY THE OFFICERS OF THAT SHIP, TO THE OFFICERS OF SIRE MAJESTY'S SHIP QUEEN:. On Monday evening last, at four o'clock P. 81., the officers of her Majesty's ship Queen, Captain Sir Henry Leeke, repaired on board the Russian man-of-war Ingermanland, and were immediately ushered into the Captain's cabin, when, in a few minutes, dinner being an nounce d , t h ey proceeded to the Admirals cabin, the band playing a march, where a table was laid for upwards of thirty-five in the most splendid style. In the centre was a gilt candelabra, of large dimensions, sup ported by the Three Graces; on either side two smaller can delabras, supported by two figures each ; also two gilt bas kets, supported by two elegant figures with beautiful artificial flowers. Several porcelain vases were arranged lenthways in the centre of the table, containing each a bottle of cham pagne. On each side were displayed choice wines, extending the whole length of the table, consisting of madeira, sherry, port, claret, sautine, hock, tee. Fruits were dispersed along the table in cut glass dishes, supported on handsome gilt pedestals. At the upper end of the table were the standards of Russia and England, the former supported by an English sailor, and the latter by a Russian, in front of a handsome lamp, which had a very pleasing effect. The dinner, which was sumptuous, was served on silver dishes, in the French style, the dishes being taken round to each person - to partake of. A great variety of toasts were given during the evening ' - evincing a cordial feeling of friendship between the officers of the two nations seldom witnessed, and nothing could sur pass the kindness, urbanity, and polite attention of the Rus sian officers to their guests. After coffee they retired to the officers' mess-room, where dancing of polkas, mazurkas, and waltzes followed each other, the magnificent band of the ship playing national and other airs the whole evening. The party separated about eleven o'clock ; as the English officers descended to their boats they were greeted by the deafening cheers of the Russian officers and lighted by a blue light on each main deck gun, which had a beautiful effect. We last week gave an account of the dinner given on board the flag-ship H.M.S. Queen, in Plymouth Sound, to the Rus sian officers belonging to the Ingermanland and Prince of Warsaw, and we are now pleased at having it in our power to show that the good feeling evinced, and the warm wel come which they received has not failed in being fully ap preciated from the compliment returned to our own officers on Monday evening last. LATEST FROM CHINA, We have received letters from Hong-Kong by the Over land mail, and the Friend of China newspaper, of September 27th last. We regret to record the deaths of Mr. Alfred G. G. Tucker, late surgeon of H.M.S. Minden, at Hong- Kong, which took place on the 10th of September, also the death of Mr. J. Ryan, agent of the P. and 0. Steam Navigation Company, on the 2d of September. Mr. D. P. Whipple, son of Captain Whipple, R.N., of De vonshire-terrace, Plymouth,Assistaut Surgeon, was promoted on the 20th of September, to the rank of Surgeon, vice Tucker, deceased. Mr. John P. P. Cole, of Morice Town, has joined the Minden, as Clerk in Charge, superseding Mr. J. H. Cook, Paymaster and Purser. COURT-MARTIAL—A Court-martial was held on board H.M.S. Castor, on the 20th of September at Hong-Kong, to try Mr. J. Haynes, master of the Vestal, for getting that ship on shore at a place called Barambangan, on the north-west coast of Borneo. H. M. S. Castor, Captain Graham, and Driver (steam) Commander Hayes, sail for New Zealand to-day, and they will take with them the hearty good wishes of the inhabitants of Hong-Kong. In this limited community, few if any, are without acquaintances, ifnot friends, on board, and from that true specimen of a British seaman, Capt. Graham, down wards, they will probably all leave those who regret their ab sence, and would gladly see their return. The ships proceed direct to Auckland, New Zealand, from whence such operations as circumstances render necessary will be directed against insurgent natives—if we may apply the term to men, on their native soil, contending for the rude liberty of barbarism ; or to fanatics, but partially acquainted with Christianity, raising a banner, believing themselves the inspired instruments of the Deity. Of the result of the in surrection there cannot be a doubt, but it may be longer pro tracted, and more destructive of life than is now anticipated. The islands are large, mountainous, and wooded with fast nesses only known to the natives, who are a bold active race. They have an abundance of arms and ammunition, and will continue probably to receive supplies from the foreign whalers who cruise off the islands. In such a country, an invading force will labour under great difficulties—warfare becomes bush fighting, and. from the gNuitic fern with which the country is covered andilte neces sity of. carrying' provisions, where there is neither stock nor game to be niet with, military operations must be slow. In such a country, a desultory warfare may be protracted for years, unless a large force is sent to suppress it at once. John Ball aver underrates his foe ; but we believe that he has at .length discovered that the most economical, and the most 'umane plan in such affairs as that of New Zealand, is to , employ - a large force at once. If a pacific settlement is not soon made, we expect to hear that a few regiments have been sent on from India, and probably that the native interest has been divided by concessions. The naval force will consist of the Castor, Driver, Cruizer, and Hazard ; the surveying vessels, Fly and Bramble are also in those seas, though it is doubtful whether they will take any share in the warfare. The squadron will be under the command of the senior naval officer, Captain Graham, who, it is rumoured, will hoist a Commodore's broad pendant, it being intended to make the Australian colonies a naval station.—Friend of China, September 27th. Her Majestys sloop Espiegle, 12, Commander T. P. Thom son, arrived at Hong-Kong, on the Bth of September, and the following is an extract of a letter received from one of the people on board, giving an account of the voyage after leaving the Cape of Good Hope, and of the vessel's perform ance under very trying circumstances of weather : " I am now enabled once more to sit down and write you a few lines, as we are now got in to the trade winds, and our vessel is now a little steady, which is more than she has been since she left the Cape of Good Hope. We have had nothing but gales of wind for this last month past, often times we have been reduced to our fore and main-staysail and close-reefed main-topsail. The sea has been moun tainous, indeed, awfully so, and our little brig, with all her hatches battened down, top-gallant masts on deck, and jib boom drawn into the bowsprit-cap, has been the sport of the waves. There was one thing in our favour, the wind was with us, and aided us on to our destination, but we could not near the Island of Desolation. as the sea and wind were both on the island, blowing a heavy gale. We then shaped our course for St. Paul's, the vessel under fore-staysail, and main-staysail, and close-reefed main-topsail, and we were then under the necessity of hauling the main-staysail down in the squalls of hail and sleet, accompanied with gusts of wind that you would think the masts would have been taken out of her. But our little vessel has behaved manfully, and is a credit to the builder, as she is enabled to do what she was designed for, to withstand the fury of the waves, and also is very easy to her rigging, as we have not had any tumbling down about our ears, nor yet any severe rubs on it. " July 21st—Anchored at St. Paul's, still carrying the wind with us. There were people on the island who waved three different flags to us, and as far as we could make out they were one Dutch, one Belgian, and one French, and they had also built a hut on the island ; but the wind being very high, and no shelter for the vessel, we were obliged to ship our anchor and cable after we bad carried away our chain mes senger, and the messenger had given several of the crew a severe wipe. We slipped the cable at the fifth shackle, or at 61i fathoms of chain. We got under weigh with fore-top sail, staysail, and main-topsail ; and I thank God that we are now, for the first time since we left the Cape of Good Hope, running before the wind, with our lower and topsail studding-sails set, going about nine knots an hour." DARING BURGLARY NEAR ROMFORD.—The dwelling house of Jonathan Arnold, Esq., situate near the Whale bone turnpike, on the London-road, about two miles from the town of Romford, was broken into on the night of the 19th inst., and Bank of England notes to the amount of 701. and upwards, 401. in gold, a silver watch,, and other articles, were stolen. On the following morning information was given to the police, who, in the course of the day, ap. prehended two men, named William Walden and Joseph servant tooonMafr.:rnynarld, retired Walker, who were brought up for examination before the Ilford bench on Saturday, when the following evidence was wuelesi'tion, about ten o'clock, she adduced :—Emma Corn that on the night in q morning, about • fas tened up the hous . e, thaendpathneelfamof family y he s door had been taken to rest; the following discovered the o'clock, on going , down stairs, she the back hall. going much alarmed, and immediately went acquainted on being called up by his servant, he went door purnt.o ti i w ds r sihd She state w o a s p id, her master and mistr Mr. p m f b o e u nonatrdsd, l a rgea i7i hs i i ron onn h n e oc ci ht g me e s - t ta I t andwhe ovnmc o nta ined i t he n o a s ble. oi em intom i ssedtheva l u a ble from parlour, documents, d uu ve reigns. On proceeding into his paddock, behind the house, he discovered his iron chest, which had been forced open and the money taken thereout ; some of the documents were left behind scattered about, and his dog, which was tied up overnight, lay dead. James Crawford, police-constable, de posed that he traced footmarks from the paddock across several fields, and down a lane into the garden attached to a cottage occupied by the prisoner Walker, and with whom Walden lodged; he inquired at the cottage, but neither of them were at home, and having ascertained that they were seen going towards Rumford, he went there and apprehended them; he took their shoes away, and on comparing them with the marks on the ground they corresponded. The pri soners said nothing in their defence, and were remanded for further examination.—Essex Standard. SUDDEN DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.--On Monday morning, Miss Chinnock, daughter of the house agent, of Regent-street, was found dead in her bed at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. Preston, tailor, of New Bond-street. The deceased, who was only in her twentieth year, had been on a visit to her brother for a few days, and appeared in the lull enjoyment of health and spirits. On Saturday night she retired to rest as usual, and yesterday morning, not making her appearance at the breakfast-table, the servant was sent to her bedroom to ascertain the cause, when she found the deceased in bed, her countenance as placid as though in the enjoyment of a sound sleep, but on approaching closer she found her to be quite dead. A surgeon was sent for, who pronounced life to have been for some time extinct. The body awaits an inquest. The following is a copy of an advertisement whin h appeared in an American paper :—" Made their escape, a husbands affections. They disappeared immediately on see ing his wife with her hauda and face unwashed at breakfast." S.
