SIR—On Friday last, the 15th inst., a meeting took place in the Town Hail here, which was numerously attended ; the Duke of Newcastle in the Chair, supported by Henry Gaily Knight, Esq., M. P., G. H. Vernon, Esq., M.P., and other gentlemen, including a host of parsons, with the Duke's private Chaplain—the latter a strong elec tioneering character, and well known as such. The an nounced object of the meeting was to set on foot a subscrip tion for the distressed Irish Clergy; and although the Nol3'.e Duke is known to be a bad speaker, and evidently unacquainted with the common duties of Chairman, still on this momentous occasion he was induced to accept that office at the earnest solicitation (as he told us) of a depu tation of Clergymen. The• Noble Duke having then been so put into the Chair, endeavoured to show to the audience that he was reluctant to fill the office, and at the same time endeavoured to convince us (which I believe was the truth) is that he was hostile to the principle of the subscription, because, as he said, the laws ought to be obeyed and en forced whilst they were the laws of the land ; but the pre sent Government, whilst they were the tools of a certain individual, and in his hands, could not enforce those laws." The Duke further stated that " he was sorry any Bill altering tithes had passed in this country or Ireland ; 'he was for the Parsons having their full rights," i. e. the tithe of all capital employed. He concluded by stating (with his usual smile) that it was a long time since he had been within the walls of the Retford Town Hall, but hoped that the present would not be the last time that he should meet them there, and trusted the time would not be long ere he did so again. All this has by many (not exactly the Duke's friends) been thought to smell of something very much like apolitical job of the Tories ; for you must know that the Duke's party have the ascendancy in the borough in-Muni cipal affairs, not owing to superior strength, but to trick and supposed foul mancevring ; and the Duke no doubt knowing this, thought the present opportunity a good one. The other speakers were Mr. Vernon and Mr. Knight, both Consesvative Whigs, and opposed to the Government, and though each endeavoured to steer clear of " party," each in turn could not help deprecating the Government. I thought it my duty therefore, in accordance with the wishes of some others, to give you a brief outline, from which, if you see sufficient for an article in your valuable Paper, we hope the public will be favoured with it.—Yours, Sz,c. THAMES ASSOCIATION, FOR THE PROTECTION OF COASTING AND FISHING VESSELS AGAINST STEAMERS. (From a Correspondent.) An Association, under the above title, which has been long wanted, is now in the course of formation. The frightful loss of life, and the vast destruction of property, occasioned by the reckless 'mismanagement and desperate rivalry of the larger steamers, have induced many of the captains and owners of the small coasting craft to associate themselves together for self-defence. Many of the Mem bers for maritime towns, who have observed the injuries sustained by their constituents, have promptly come forward to patronize the Association, and promised to promote any Parliamentary measure. that can be devised to prevent the continuance of those terrible accidents with which the public car has been long pained. Mr. WiLics, the patriotic Mem ber for Boston, was among the earliest to offer his support to this philanthropic object. Colonel SEALE, the Member for Dartmouth, has most warmly engaged in the under taking, from the " indignation," to use the language of the son. Member, " with which he has perused the frequent accounts of accidents on the river:" The LORD MAYOR expresses himself very faVourably towards the Association. Capt. PECHELL, the Member for Brighton, pledges himself cheerfully to give every assistance that so desirable an object deserves whenever the subject is brought'before Parliament ; and numbers of other Members concur in the same ex pression of feeling. What the particular measures of prevention is intended to be, has not yet been made public ; but we understand' that a Committee will be moved for early in the Session, and that the Parliamentary agents are preparing the case to be brought before it. In the mean time, much good will be effected by organizing the captains and owners of the small craft into a formidable Association for self-defence, as the•steamers will be somewhat less reckless in their conduct when they find, that instead of comparatively poor and isolated individuals, whose threats of seeking legal redress they could formerly laugh at, they will now have a body of some thousands, hejided by many influential Members of the Legislature, who will have the means 'of bringing there to a sense, if not of humanity and justice, at all events of prudence and responsibility. We shall communicate such further information, as we may receive it, of the progress of this Association, which has our best wishes for its success. LYCEUM THEATRE. The following is the humorous address from Mr. Rayner on the elOsing of the theatre : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Brief as the period of my ma nagement has been, established custom renders it imperative that I appear before the curtain, to tender the acknowledg ments of gratitude to you, and all those who have honoured us with their proSence and approval. " When I took the helm of the Lyceum pleasure schooner, she was in a foundering state, the crew were on short allow ance, with not unfrequently a banyan day.' I found I was soon able to place the crew on full rations, which, by your support, .have been continued up to this hour ; and, by a steady hand at the wheel, and a good look out ahead, I have steered her through her sea of perils to safe moorings, and the end of her voyage ; and though her Purser tolls me he has not a shot in the locker to reward my toil, I am content that I have saved the crew from being stranded, if your approval accom pany the effort ; and, whoever hereafter may be destined to command this beautiful, this noble vessel, may she be so trimmed as to sail lightly and gaily onward, with a freshening breeze, to the haven of prosperity. " Let the crew and the Captain together conform, And the good ship Lyceum will weather the storm. " Now to drop metaphor, and descend to plain homespun language, though a sufferer myself to some extent, I have a consolation, void of egotism as it is of hypocrisy, and that con solation is, that I have been the means of placing. a Christmas dinner on the table of many a family, who, in all probability, would not have had a dinner at all. " Into a management of such short experience I am not unaware that many faults and defects have crept ; but your kindness and forbearance have, on all such occasions, been most manifest ; whilst, at the same time, you have shown an equal readiness to encourage and applaud taste and talent. Fol. these and all other kindnesses I am your debtor ; and, thanking you for myself, and all those to whom such kindness and indulgence has been eitended, with feelings of fervency for the future prosperity of this theatre, and for your health and happiness, I most respectfully bid you farewell." THE WOOLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday). LEEDS.—There has been a fair average business done at the Cloth Halls this week ; prices remain steady. In the warehouse there has been a little improvement. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 12.—There has been a fair demand for goods to-day. The intelligence from America does not appear to have affected the market. BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. 14.—Business continues brisk ; and to-day's Piece Market may be quoted as bet ter than those at the close of the year. The great fire at New York has been the common topic of conversation, and various conjectures have been hazarded as to the effect it will have upon our trade. There do not appear to be positive grounds for supposing it will influence the stuff trade materially, either one way' or the other. At all events it will not exhibit itself for some time to come. Manufacturers complain of the advance in yarns, not being able to effect any improvement in the price of goods. Our Yarn Market continues much in the same state as for some weeks past ; an -increasing demand still exists, and prices have a tendency upwards. The demand during the week for wools has been brisk. Prices have not advanced since our last, but are a little higher than they were three or four weeks ago. HALIFAX MARKET, Jan. 9.—The business transacted to-day in Stuff Goods has been a full average of the last three weeks, and unusually good for this season of the year. Lastings and Merinos continue in excellent de mand, and prices have been a little higher, although ma nufacturers complain that the rise has not been proportion ably high to that on the raw material. Yarns, particularly warps, have been in brisk demand, and have fully supported last week's prices. In Wool there has been a great deal done, and on the better descriptions of hog wool there has been a small advance in price obtained. HECK MONDWIKE.—The Blanket trade continues pretty regularly attended by the merchants and buyers on the market days, more so than is generall y the case about this period. The manufacturers continue, therefore, in fair employ, with steady prices. BARNSLEY.—The manufacturers of this town, who re duced hand-winding about two years since, have advanced it again to the same price as it was then, with the excep tion of one house. The weavers on Thursday-presented a list of prices to the manufacturers, which will be an ad vance on some kinds of goods. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JAN. 11.—This mar ket was rather better to-day ; all sorts of flannels were much inquired after, and in good demand, though the buyers appear disposed to have , them for less money, and were offering rather lower prices ; but it is not likely that the manufacturers can . take less so long as both wool and oils keep up. The Wool Market was about an average day prices were rather higher. Oils keep very high. Osbaldestone, the lessee of Covent Garden Theitre has engaged Miss Romer, who will shortly appear in anew Oper a . He is, we understand, likewise in treaty with young Kean, to perform a limited number of nights. IRELAND. FIRST MEETING OF THE REFORM REGISTRY ASSOCIATION. (Abridged from the Dublin Evening Post.) The first general meeting of the Reform Registry Asso ciation of Ireland took place on Saturday last, at the Royal Exchange. The Reformers of Ireland, of all shades, were united on this occasion, as well to exhibit their strength as the perfect unanimity with which they are determined to pursue the object for which they have associated—the re gistration of those entitled to vote for the election of Mem bers of Parliament in Ireland. On the motion of Lord Viscount KILLEEN, seconded by WENTWORTH HUME, Esq., the Chair was taken by Lord Viscount CLEMENTS, M.P., amidst enthusiastic cheering. Lor CLEMENTS said he had disliked party politics, but he and many others began to feel that, they had been too apathetic—(Hear, hear, 'and loud cheers) —while he and others had withdrawn from public life, many had taken a part which was dangerous to the public peace and liberty. Their oppOnents were fraternizing, they were registering too, they were misrepresenting, too, the liberal party, and they were using every means to sow dissension amongst the Liberals.—(Cheers.) Lord KILLEEN proposed, amid loud cheers, the first resolution. The differences, said the Noble Lord, which had existed amongst Liberals, had been inju rious—these were forgotten now, and, he hoped, for ever. —The Tory party, who would perpetuate the existence of tithes, took advantage of their apathy. The present Go vernment had dealt more fairly to this country than any Government—they were kind before—that Government deserved their support, as it had the confidence of the country.—(Cheers.) They should endeavour to increase the majority of the Liberals in the House of Commons, in case of a dissolution. They should, by increasing the franchise, strengthen the hands of the country and of a government who was determined to do them justice. He was happy to say, that their Society would be one of busi ness and not of appeals to the country ; they should, too, provide funds to carry these objects into effect.—(Hear.) WM. FLETCHER, Esq., in seconding the resolution, con gratulated them on havinc , a Government favourable to the country. It was not the character of an administration they had to regard so much, as to whether they would submit to a military desvotism, , for such they had twelve months since. They bad an united, reckless, and wealthy, 'so far as the muck-worms of Change-alley were concerned, a wealthy party against them. Sergeant W'our,FE proposed the next resolution. Hav ing read the resolution he said—The resolution that I have had the honour of reading points very simply thq manner by which it is intended that this Association should work out the great purposes for the attainment of which it has been endeavoured 'to be put together—and so as tore dress a flagrant and manifest wrong under which the liberal party in Ireland now labours.—( Hear, hear.) At the same time that I call' it a wrong, perhaps I ought to correct my self; because it' is one, that is inflicted upon them, by the liberal party themselves.—(Hear.) My Lord, this wrong to which I advert is this—that the Conservative party have appropriated to themielves, namely, double the number of representatives in Ireland to which their relative worth and numbers entitle them.—(Hear.) Whereas 105 members represent Ireland, and we have only 70, and the Conserva tives have 35, while the proper and the gross proportion should be, that we ought to have 90, and they but 15. (Hear and cheers.) It is that not only we ought to have 90, but I trust that at the next general election, indeed I have no doubt of it, if we do our duty, that we will increase the proportion of our members: Why do I say that our proper proportion is 90 to 15 ? 1 say it, because if we go into details and examine each by the constituencies of Ireland, and if we examine the strength of them that belong to us, we find that we ought to have as our proportion 90 members out of the 106. This detail, however, would occupy more time than is suited to this meeting. This much I will say, briefly and generally, that we can make an accurate calcula tion of the relative strength of parties, from the statistical return of the population, and from unerring data. I am sure I do not exaggerate when I say that the Liberal party in Ireland comprises many noblemen of rank, station, and per sonal worth—(Hear)—that it comprises a large portion of the landed aristocracy —( Hear, hear)—that it comprises men of the first name and family in the kingdom—that it comprises capitalists—that it comprises a great party of the commercial wealth of the country.—(Hear, hear) — Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. In the address proposed at the meeting we find the following sum mary of the objects contemplated by the Association : " To obtain a full and fair registration of all persons quali fied under the provisions of the Reform Act for the right o f voting—to expose and defeat the attempts of the Tory party evidently to restrict the elective franchise by litigious and vex atious opposition to every liberal claimant—to secure in a word for the Reformers of Ireland, by every lawful means, their just weight in the electoral body—these are objects of the first magnitude ; but experience has shown that they are not to be obtained by detached or desultory efforts; they are only attainable by persevering and continued exertions. The organization of the Tories must be met by a counter-organiza tion of the friends of liberal opinions. Morality prohibits the Reformers from adopting the current practices of their oppo nents ; but there is nothing to forbid—on the contrary, there is every thing to recommend the closest imitation of their ac t!vity and concert." DEATH OF SWEENEY.—CORONER9S have. already given an account of the affair at Shandrum near Charleville, on last Saturday morning, where a man named Sweeny lost his life by a shot or shots fired by the police. An inquest 'was held on the body on Tuesday, in the village of Newtown, which was resumed next day, when the proceedings were again adjourned. - Two of the 'witnesses swore to the fact that a single po- licernan, detached from the main body, fired`at the deceased; A third witness identified the policeman, and alSo swore that the man in question went upon his knees on an elevation, and took deliberate aim at the unfortunate deceased! Others swore that to the best of their belief there was no magistrate present, and that the Riot Act was not read. Add an intelligent boy, of about thirteen years of age, also identified the policeman, whom he saw fire ; but when called upon to lay his hand upon the accused party, " he could scarcely be induced to touch him !" THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 1856, TITHES. In the neighbourhood of Borneen, near Cavan, county *heath, on Monday, two men, about to serve law processes upon a person named Brangan and others, at suit of the Hon. and Rev. Dean Packenham, were attackrd by a nu merous party, severely beaten, dipped in a bog-bole, and compelled to tear the process. Another case of the same sort recently occurred at Templemore, where a threatening notice was sent to Mr. Crawford. _ On Thursday, the 14th, a bailiff, named Shean, accom panied by Mr. George Burchill, the local agent of the Rev. Robert St. Lawrence, proceeded to the lands of Tullyglass, in the parish of Morragh and within about three miles of Bandon, to serve supmnas, for tithes due to that Rev. Gentleman. Shean proceeded to the house of Thomas Bradfield, while Mr. Burchill remained at a short distance, and succeeded in serving one. Shean had no sooner done so than an attack was made upon him by four men, who struck him with stones, and knocked him down and took from his pocket the original Supaena. He is desperately cut on the head, and several parts of his body are marked with blows of stones. THE TITHE CAMPAIGN.-The. Faction—the Orange- Tory-Conservative crusaders plainly desire nothing so much as to see in operation that sanguinary system of ex- termination — Which (the Dublin Post justly says) did not succeed against half a million of men. Which did not succeed after ten rebellions. Which did not succeed, although the land of the country was forfeited three times over. Which did not succeed, even with the infernal machinery of the Penal Code. Which did not succeed with all the power of mighty Eng land, flushed with the victories of Marlborough, and undisputed mistress of the ocean. We aro told to prosecute this system ; and under what cir cumstances ? The people of Scotland are with us. Their representatives have declared it. The people of England are with us. Their municipalities have declared.it. . The people of Ireland are with us. The registries have pronounced it.. The Commons of the Empire have said that tithes shall be extinguished. England, Scotland, and Ireland are one. They are and will continue indivisible. They have said that the tithe system must cease in Ireland. MR. GENAN.—The following is the address unanimously voted to this Gentleman by the Cork Chamber of Com merce : " The firmness which you, Sir, have at your advanced age exhibited, in offering yourself an additional victim of an o dious and accursed system, demands the expression of our sincerest condolence and of our highest admiration. We are not with out the expectation that the period of redress is not far distant, and your fellow-countrymen will hereafter refer to your name, amongst those of others, by whose exertions and suf ferings this great object shall have been achieved." HUDSON. ---The cork Herald calls upon the Govern ment to prosecute the murderers of Hudson, and say sthey should not hesitate to appoint at once a Special Commission for that necessary, essential, and more important end ! THE DUBLIN DINNER.—Monday the 25th instant has been fixed on for the festival ; and Mr. O'Connell must sail for E❑gland on the following day to attend dinners to which he has been invited rs the representative of the Reformers of Ireland. CORK.—In the last past year 2,159 persons have emi grated from this city. A young Lady at Ennis, lately a Protestant, has avowed her resolution of taking the veil. BANK OF £N.GLAND. The usual Eaveiraiguedr;se.t;rionroafeitnhget.lbiaebpileitriieoa from .liabilities assets o - t o h l the . Bank , s gg of October, 1835, to the 12th instant, which was inserted in last Friday's Cawltc, gives the 7fo !I o wing results— v i z ., that the average of the,month ending the 12th inst an t, as compared with the average of the trionth 'ending the 20th of October, K:l5, shows a decrease in the circulation or 177,0001., an increase in the deposits of 4,320,000 h and an increase in the stock of bullion of 1,350,000/. Where fore it appears that the inezease of the. liabilities is 4,143,0001., and this represents the increase in the total quantity of money in the month ending the - 12th instant, as compared with the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, in so far as regards the administration of the cur rency by the Bank of England. The yearly comparison is as follows :—The average of the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the average of the month ending the 10th of February, 1835, shows a decrease in the circulation of 1,233,0001., an in crease in the deposits of 7,443,0001., and an increase in the stock of bullion of 921,0001. Wherefore it appears that there is an increase in the liabilities of 6,210,0001., and this represents the increase in the total quantityof money in the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the month ending the 10th of February, 1835, in so far as re gards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The fluctuations in the stock of bullion have taken place in the following manner and proportions : In the month ending the sth of May, 1835, as Compared With the month ending the 10th of Feb., 1835, there is a decrease of £398,000 In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as compared with the month ending the sth of May, 1835, there is an inereaSoof In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, there is a decrease of 225,000 And in the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the month ending the 20th of Oc tober, 1835, there is an increase of Which leaves upon balance an increase of . 921,000 The changes and fluctuations in the circulation will ap pear from , the following statement : In the month ending the sth of May, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 10th of Fe bruary, 1835, there is a: decrease of In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as compared with the month ending the ,;6th of May, 1835, there is an increase of In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, there is a decrease of ........ 930,000 And in the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the month ending the 20th of Octo ber, 1835, there is a decrease of Which leaves upon balance a decrease of 1,233,000 The following are the changes and fluctuations which have taken place in the deposits : In the month ending the sth of May, as com pared with the month ending the 10th of February, 1835, there was a decrease of In the month ending the 28th of July, 1.835, as compared with the month ending the sth of. May, 1835, there is an increase of In the mouth ending the 20th of October, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 28th of July 1835, there is an increase of And in the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the month ending the 20th of Octo ber, 1835, there is an increase of ... 4,320,000 Which leaves upon balance an increase of 7,443,000' The chief thing obserVable in the preceding statement is the great and continued increase in the amount of the deposits, and which now have attained such a height, that they now exceed, by many millions, the amount of the circulation—a circumstance wholly without example in the annals of this country, which has, nevertheless, during the last forty years, been fruitful of so many extraordinary anomalies. 21,000 This enormous increase in the deposits proceeds entirely from the large payments made in full on account of the -West Indian Loan, and so thtlt, the money coming in at a much faster rate than the liquidation and payment of the claims for which it is intended, it naturally goes to increase the amount of the deposits, and the resule of the whole affair is a most unnatural and unheard-of position of things ; for— First. Interest is allowed to the West Indian claimants at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, till the period that their claims shall be liquidated. Secondly. Interest .at the rate of nearly 4 per cent. per annum is allowed to the holders of the Omnium who pay it np in full, and this notwithstanding that if the money should' , only be paid gradually, and at the different periods when the instalments become due, it would still come in faster than is required for the purposes of the Government. Thirdly. The dividends (that is, the interest) on the loan itself run and commence, for that part Which'conSists in Re duced and Long Annuities, from the sth of April, 1835, and for the remainder, which. consists in Consols, from the Lth of July, 1835. All which is entirely without parallel. In the mean time, the Bank of England dexterously con trives to profit by this state of things, and this in the most simple way imaginable—viz., by lending large sums of money that are not wanted, and which consequently remain in its coffers at per cent. interest per annum, which is all one as if a publican should charge some muddy-brained fellow, not vvith the pot of beer that_ lie has drunk, or is drinking,.or is to drink, but merely for the trouble he takes to score a pot of beer against him behind the door ; and this is no idle metaphor or mere likeness and similitude, but the plain, literal state of the case ; ,for the Bank scores away, and then charges interest as for money, but whereas in real result nothing whatever is lent and no money passes, but there is simply a tranfer of the debts of individuals to the credit of the Government, and th en the Bank charges interest for keeping the score.—Tinics. UNITED STATES BANK. One of the papers last received from New York con thins the annual report of the United States Bank up to the Ist of December, the details of which, consider ing the long contest it has had to sustain with the Go vernment, afford evidence of great resources, and, as regards the mere financial administration, of very prudent and judicious management. The object of the conductors, when it was known that the charter would not be renewed, became that of winding up their affairs in the manner least likely to be detrimental to the community. Accordingly, during the last six months, the following changes have been made in its principal rela tions :- Ist of June. Ist of Dec. Difference. Dollars. Dollars. Dollars.

That the loans are higher now than they were six months ago. 2d. That the circulation is higher now than it 'was six months ago. Whenever the Bank could do it safely, the debts have been sold in large masses, on long credits of one to four years, so as to enable the purchasers in turn to extend the same indulgence to the individual debtors. In this way the Bank has disposed of its debts at the following branches : Portland, Providence, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Natchez, New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston, Fayetteville, Baltimore, and the agency at Chillicothe ; and it has closed, without sale, the branches at Burlington, Hartford, Utica, Norfolk, and Washington, making 21 out of the 27 branches and agencies which are closed or sold. There remain—Boston, New York, Rich mond, Savannah, Nashville, and the Real Estate Agency at Cincinnati. It is an honourable trait in the management of this Bank, that in making these transfers of their branches they have contrived to transfer also the services of the principal clerks belonging to them, who appear otherwise tb have ex perienced very liberal treatment—a course not always adopted in the great monopoly of the Bank of England, though under circumstances calling much more imperiously for the exercise of such liberality.

With some difficulty the gentleman was safely housed in the hearse, and slept comfortably for some miles. On the hearse arriving at a public-house near the place where the gentleman resided, some wags who happened to be in the 'house, hearing who the driver had got as a pas senger, procured a large sack, into which the gentleman now fast asleep was shot, and comfortably placed before the kitchen fire. After sleeping some time he awoke, and called to know whether he was dead or alive. On the sack being opened, he bolted with the velocity of,lightning, and has not since been heard of ; his frieads are anxiously waiting his re-appearance.—Shefiekl Mercury. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From. „ rho ` Hampshire I u elegrapit. Por...T;imouT ll , Majesty's steam-vessel Alban, Mr..-13 Town ,, Acting Commander, arrived . to-day left on the. 17th laal from Ply from 1\ r al, mouth. The following is a letter from our correspondent : MALTA, DEC. 17, 1833.—The British men•of-v,--ar ly ing here are the Caledonia, with the flag of Sir Josias ley ; Ceylon,- with the flag of Sir T. Briggs ; Canopus, Thunderer, Revenge, Edinburgh, Barham, Vernon, wadi Orestes, With the Mastiff surveying vessel, Hind cutter, Alban and Pluto steam-vessels, and Sovereign -transnorta The Alban proceeds to England to-dap. The Revenge, Vernon, and Barham returned to this port en the 14th, after a trial of the relative rate of sailing between the two latter, the restdt of which, which has been : unfavourable to the Vernon, you will no doubt receive :from your naval cor , respondents in this quarter. The Albati arrived hereon the 10th, from Alexandria, in seven days. The Egyptian fleet was in harbour, consisting of nine sail of the line, and Cs many frigates and corvettes. Three Admirals' flags were flying ; one of which was that of a French officer in the Pacha's service, who is now called Benson Bey. The greatest activity was observable in the arsenal, where equip ments were going forward on a very extensive scale ; and although it may be doubtful whether the Arabs can be at present considered as good seamen, they are at least very active and powerful men. One of my letters, dated the 2d, states that the steam-ship Nile Was to start the next morn ing with a French officer of rank, Snliman Bey, for Bev rout. Mr. Waghern landed from the steam-racket on Saturday the 28th of November, at Alexandria, and imme diately took charge of the mails for - .Bombay, Bengal, Ma.. dras, and Ceylon, and proceeded with all despatch by the 'canal to the Nile, where he arrived before sunset en the 4 .19 th. By the last ad ices he had secured a pro Per beat for Cairo, where in all probability lad would arrive on the 2d of Deeember inst., and then push cn to Suez, a journey of two days. It was not known whether or not there might be an Indian steamer in' the Red Sea, but in any case every expectation was entertained that the mails would be at Bom bay in the course of fifty days from Ntalta. An officer of the Madras Artillery and his Lady jc dned Mr. Waghora with Out hesitation, so that we may soot i receive a report o his experiment and plans. It was •Mr . W.'s intention tof return from Suez to Cairo and Alexand via.'" The Alban proceeded this evening to Woolwich, we trust to be paid off, for she is in every respect inferior to any other steam-vessel employed in his Majesty's service, and quite unworthy to bear a pennant_ She encountered severe vveather, and was imminent danger on her passage home. The Pandora packet arrived here from Falmouth, on Wednesday, Came into harbour, and sail ed to -day for Sheer ness. Why is thiS, and why is it that Captain SYmond's shipS are invariably sent to the eastwesd for repairs? It cannot be, surely, that our dockyard dicers play the Sur veyor of the Navy foul, nor can be that; the officers of the eastern yards are made of more pliable stuff. Is it that these latter yards are less open to public inspection, from there mere retired situations ? \\Thatev:?r may be the rea son it is nevertheless the fact, and last week the Vestal passed this port direct for the \Vest Inch es, a circumstance which has not occurred before with any ship for the last twenty years from a foreign station ; the order being general for ships 'returning to . England to proceed to Spithcad, which is invariably obeyed, unless a cent rary wind obliges them to go into Plymouth. Report says the Pandora and Vestal arc both -rotten. The Wanderer, which called in at. Madeira, is- pronounced by an efficient judje to be a most uneasy ship. The Linnet, from the exposed state of. her rudder, recently broke her tiller, while scudding in a heavy sea, which broaChed her too, fortunately without injury ; and the Star has been twice spoken with in the centre of the Atlantic, dismasted by shipping' a sea. We Sincerely hope she will yet meet with efficient assistance to bring her to England. ; The Erebus and Terror, which were fitted to take part in the expedition for the relief 'of the ice-bound whalers, have been recalled, the whole of the vessels to which they were to direct their attention having happily got clear of the ice. The Cove, under the command of Captain Ross, will prosecute the brave attempt to afford relief to those on the west shore, which are not likely to get free. The Vestal, 2Q, Copt - . Jones, and Racer, 16, Commander Hope, will touch at, Spithead in a few days from Sheerness to be paid wages, and proceed to the West Indies. The Melville, 74 (for the flag of Sir P.• Halkett), will be commissioned on Tuesday. The Harpy, 10; has been CoMmissioned at Plymouth. The Seaflower cutter, Lient. Roche, sailed on Thursday a cruise The Bristol freigllt-slip arrived on Thursday, having detachments of the sth, 42d, and 92d Regiments on board. -She came into harbour to •embark naval stores for Malta. - • Admiral Sir Philip Durham, G.C.B. (M.P. for Devizes); is appointed to succeed to the command at this. port, when Sir Thomas Williams strikes his flag, in April next. Cap tain Deans Pandas will be the Flag-Captain, Lieut. Eliott (of the Actmon) Fla-g-Lieutepant, and Mr. Edye the Se cretary to Sir Philip. Captain Caron, R.N., C. 8., bas been appointed Superin tendant of the Police Force at Bath. at a salary of 00/. a year. His competitors were Captain Marsh, Lieut.

IG.—His Majesty's ship Melville, 74, was undocked yesterday and is to be immediately commis sioned for the flag of Sir-Peter Halket.
