g7rtitrb itt '9; GERMANY. . The whole of Badeu is now entirely free from Prtis4ian troops. Part of the forces which were with drawn from the Grand Duchy have joined the army in Hesse, and part have taken up a position in West phalia, where they will form the centre of a corps which is now concentrating in the district of Ravens berg. This corps of 60,000 men will be under the command of General Chlebus, with the Prince of Prussia as Commander-in-Chief; and it will act as a medium between the Rhenish Westphalian corps under the Prince and the Thuringian corps under General Wrangel. The head-quarters of this Ravens berg corps will be at Neusalzburg. It will lean on the fortress of Minden, which receives a garrison of 6,000 men, and which is being fortified with new pallisales and stockades. These details are given by a military correspondels of the Drat7^773 Zeitzalg, SWEDEN. The following is the speech delivered by the King of eden on opening the session of the Diet : " Gentlemen,—At the end of a half century, more rich in commotions exercising a direct influence on the lot of nations than perhaps any other similar space of time, I have the satisfaction of again seeing around me the states of the kingdom of Sweden. The lest three years which have el.cpsed since the states were re eels-el by me have not bees the less marked by great events, the remembrance of which will be long pre served in the annals of the world. Nevertheless, Divine Providence has preserved the Scandinavian peninsula from violent shocks, and its inhabitants have not ceased to enjoy both at home and abroad peace, which is the main condition of solid and durable pregrese, and which, with the constant love of the king and of the country, forms the surest guarantee of the g-neral welfare. The marriage of my son with the Princess Louisa of the Netherlands has caused me the greater pleasure, a , I see that it is shared in by my subjects. The stability which that union, with the aid of the Almighty, will give to the succession to the throne will be appreciated with plea sure by all good and loyal citizens, and will strengthen the bond which attaches my dynasty to the noble Swedish nation. Our relations with foreign powers have been constantly impressed with the sea! of sincere friendship. Dating. the deplorable contests which have taken place in the north, the Government of the twit united kingdoms has had the happiness to receive from all the contending parties evident proofs of the most perfect confidence. My efforts, which had for object not only to preserve peace for our country, but also to contribute with the allied powers to re-establish peace in the neighbouring kingdom (Den mark), in a manner suited to the dignity and independ ence of net state, have been incessant, end there is reason to hope that the sacred rights which it has so valiantly defended, will eventually hi ing it victoriously from the struggle. Among the important objects on which you will have to deliberate, the Bill for a new regulation of the Diet will take the first rank, tied with that Bill is connected another—that of a new electoral law, which, accerding to my duty, and in order to reconcile con flicting opinions, I had presented to the States during the session of the last Diet, and which they adjourned to the present session. Is is now your duty and your right to come to a resolution on this subject, and I feel confidence and hope, gentlemen, that this question, which will exercise such a great influence on the state of the country, will be examined by you maturely, and with the care which may be expected from your patriotism, and from your enlightened zeal for the dearest interests of the country. Agriculture, which is the principal industry of Sweden, has gone on prosperously during late years. Commerce and navigation have suffered less from the political agitations of Europe than there was reason to fear. One happy consequence of this state of things is the favourable position of our finances. The de tails will be communicated to you. I; is with satisfaction that I find myself in a condition to propose a diminution is the taxes, for the money voted by the States of the kingdom for armaments have not been all expended. The grants which you have voted for the improvement of elementary instruction have been employed by me for that object, and I see with lively satisfacion that the chan,res already made have produced a favourable result or the tieing generation. I .hall continue to devote my greats st care to this important affair, The epidemic which has visited thr) groa er pa , t of the nations of Eu rope has not (merely spared Sweden, bur has been less intense than when it first appeared; we may hope that it will soon entirely cease. The measures of precaution which Imo been adopted are such as have been pointed out by the opinions and the desires of the people. Gentlemen, I declape your deliberations to be now opened, and I implore the blessings of the Almighty on you, and give to each and all of you the assurrnce of my royal consideration." MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) There is a difference perceptible in the amount of busi ness done during the past week in dividend-paying mine,: but it is rather a modification of the general de naand,for shares than a falling off in inquiry for the more solid descriptions of stock. It is in the nature of things that a brisk market should originate new schemes, and divide the attention of capitalists, and in no business more so than in mines., We aro content that it should be so, as long as the new projeca;_i tiili hear the tr,..t the stricte6r, scrutiny by competartly quallfied judges of taint-nal indications —a hint we mealy drop for consi deration bo invest:l:ants are Made. 4c late di.covery in the. Tavistack district (eousidcr, to be next in im portance to that of the' Gieat De-.on Consols) has Ld. we fiat.% to tha immediate arid vigorous re-workings et several important mines previously abandoned, and will, no doubt, give rise to a large expenditure of capital in that locality. In the Metal Market, lead is in icier - wed demand, at rather firmer prices. Copper is without' alteration: steady at the quotation. British tin is without much inquiry, and the rcarket easy; a fair business cluing in East India, and Banca in limited request. In tin plates, the stock running short, a higher price may be expected. The iron market has again improved. Welsh bars have been in great demand, and large orders fur rails are given at an increased price. The tendency to an advance in silver !steadily con tinues—the tosal rise being equal to 21 per cent. The sale of copper ores at Redrutb, on Thursday last, amounted to 4,835 tons, producing 21,4651. lls. 6d. The sale of foreign ore at Swansea on Tuesday con sisted of 1,224 tons, and realised 19,4504 17s. 6d. There i 3 no other sale until the 31st. Among the arrivals at Swansea have been 1,315 tons of copper ore from Cuba, consigned to the Cobre Com pany. Two parcels of ore from Linares Mine have been sold-70 tons and 40 tons, both at 114 12s. per ton. Ores to arrive-62 tons and 74 tons, both at 114 Bs. per ton. Seventy tons of lead ores from the Glengola Mine, • Galway, realised 111. 55. per ton; 6 tons from Dlyngwir„, 101. 18s. 6d. per ton; and 7 tons from Rhoswydol, 11/. 10s. 6d. per ton. Three parcels of lead ore from the Lisburne Mines have been sold at Aberystwith, viz., East Logylas, 55 tons, at 15/. 12s. 6c1.; and Frungoch, 80 tons, at 11/. la. 6d. The East Wheel Rose sale of lead ore was-34 tons at 161. 9s. 6d., 26 tons at 151. 55., 17 tons at 151. and 4 tons at Si. 3s. 6d. per ton. The East Tamar lead ore 67 tons, sold for 14/. per ton. A private inspection of Alfred Consols Mine by Mr. S. U. 'Thomas, superintendent of the Alten Company'. Alining worle.q in Norway, has just taken place. The report, which is given in &wens° elsewhere, is confirma tory of the favourable opinions lately expressed of the capabilities of the mine. Mr. Thomas states that the lode is as good as has been reported—the present rich bunch of ore having been intersected at a depth of 55 fens.; while in the wines sinking under the 60, be says there is a most splendid and improving lode. In the fin. level there is described to be a " large, rich, and regular lode." and in No. 1 wince, in this level, the lode is " very rich and productive." He also expresses his firm opinion that, when the 80 fathom level is further advanced easterly, a bed of ore will be inter sected as rich as in the 60 and 70, which must tend greatly to enhance the value of the mine. The usual report states that the lode in No. 2 winz?, is 4 ft. wide, with every prospect of soon be coming vider, its worth for copper ore being estimated at 1001.. per fin. Another lode, in the 70 fin. level, is stated 'at 1201., and in the wince under the 60 fin, level east. at 140/. p r fin., being full 7 ft. wide, and its pro . dose calculated at 20 tons per fathom. The liolmbush report expresses very sanguine ex ctatioas of future success, bounded on the operations row being pros,cuted, and others in contemplation. 'The mine agent states that a , no period within the last five years has it afforded greater promise of becoming a dividend-paying one than at present. Last w- ek 164 • tons of copper ores were sampled at Calstock, and a parcel or wad will be sampled on the 10th inst. The Tamar report states that 85 tons of rich silver lead ores will be sampled in a few days. At Wheal Margaret an insprovs..ment is reported in the 100 tin. level—the lode being 3ft wide, and esti mated at 601. to 701. per ten. At the East Deren, in the 30 fm. level east, the lode is about 3 ft. wid , yielding from 25 to 30 ewts. of silver lead ore p-r fm. In :IL- 10 fin. I.vel 24 fins. ~t ore gruun4 has been gone -hrorign, aucraging 2 tons per fen. At Cevre Erfie, the 30 fm. level east continues to pro . duce 2 tons of lead ore per fm. ; the rise over the level yielding 1 ton per fm_ At B.et lieles, the end in shallow alit is stated to he worth 10/. per fie. ; the north slopes 9/., and south stopcs 71. per fin, The report is favourable, the stopes in hack of the same level being worth 201. per Fifty tone of ore are just ready fur sampling. The new lode at East Wheel Leisure is 6 ft. wide, and the estimated produce 5 tens per fm. At Wnesl Humlyrs, they are driving en the canuter lede, which i; producing unusually rich specimens of copjr.r oro, with spots of tin in the lode. At Runnaford Coombe, things are assuming a more statisfectory 14:4:?ect, and though there are still some ar le ars of cane tiro be lance till lately due for the engine had been pairs by the leading shareholders on behalf of tbo company. The works will now be prosecuted with the activity requisite to place their affairs in a healthy position. At the meeting of the General Mining Company for Ireland, held in Dublin, a very gratifying report was read; and the success of the company's operations was PAP,lfillenstrated by the declaration of a dividend of 10 per out of the profits flit. the present half-year. This more satietaetdry,- as the company commenced ins in 1846, at a period of unprecedented diffi '-ttress,...and famine; and, by excellent manage ire enabled to overcome every obstacle. As many ?Alia ' l4 • 11 as 700 persons find employment in the vicinity of the mines, owing to the existence of this company, who are fairly entitled to tie held up as an example of - persever as co and judicious enterprise. The Wheal Basset Mine account, on the 3d instant, sfoavcd-Labour cost for September and Ocesber, 2,009/. 33. lid.; merchants' bills, 8681. 6s. 11d.=2,877/. 10s. 10d. Copper ores sold, 5.7381. 6s. 4d.; tin ores, 4981. 6s. ld. (less dues, 4151. 15s. sd) = 5.8201. 17e.- showing profit of 2,943/. 65. 2d.; and balance in hand end of August, 1071. 3s. 3,0501.9 r. 10d. By divi dend of 10/. per share, 2,5601.-leaves a balance to the net account of 4901. 9s. 10d. The report is very satin' factory, and stated that the stopes generally are produc ing ore equal to expectation, and quite as good as was anticipated whilst driving the levels. ' I tAt the South Tolgas meeting a dividend of 2/. 10a. per share was declared. The accounts showed, by sales of ores (less due) 2,022/. ss. 7d., mine cost for September and October, 1,2841. 12e. 3d.: showing profit of 737/. 13s. 4d : add balance from last account, 1101. 13s. 4d.= 848/. 6s. Bd. ; paid on account of sew engine , 121/. Di vidend of 2/. 10s. per share (6400, 761/.: leaving balance now in hand, 87/. 6s. Bd. The mine is reported to be looking very well: the 54 and 42 lm. levels are in good ore ground, and the 32 appears to be entering the same run ot ore. A dividend of 10s. per share was declared by the Lewis Mines on Wednesday, the 4th inst. The Tresavean Mine account, on the 30th November, showed-Libour cost for September and October 1,1591. Bs. 7d.; merchants' bills, 5211. 19s. 9d. - -- - 1,6811 4d.-By amount of copper and tin ores, sold Aug and Oct. (less lords' dues, 651. lls. 11d.), 1,2461.

The Trethellan Mine account, on the 3d inst., showed -Labor cost for Sept. and Oat., 3121. 5a 91; merchants' bills, 851. 14s. 4d.=398/. Os. Id.-By copper ores sold, 26th Sept. (less 1-15,h lords' dues, 291. 7s. Bd.), 409/. Bs. ld.-showing profit, 11/. Bs.: add ealanaa in hand, last account. 3241. 17s. 3d.-leaves balance to next ac count, 336/. ss. 3d. The prospects of this mine are im proved or late in a south lode. At the quarterly meeting of Levant Consols, a call of 4/. per share was made. The accounts showed-Ralance due to the purser end of June, 741/. 15s. 6d.; mine cost for July, August, and September, 8421. 4s. 9d.; mer chants' bills, 384/. 915.=1,968/. 9s. 31. By call of 4/. per share, 1,0241; tin sold, 8971. 12e. 3d.; for stamping, 101. 3s. 3d.-showing loss, 536/. 13s. 9d. At Wheal Trefusis meeting, on Tuesday, the accounts for September and October were presented, showing- Balance from the last account, 420/. I ls. 2d.; costs and merchants' bills, 271/. 13s. Bde=692/. 4s. 10d. By ores sold (less dues), 771. 7s. Bd.; calls received, 5C41.=5811. 7s. Bd.; leaving balance against adventurers of 1104 17s. 2d. A call of 10s. per share was made. At the East Tywarnhayle meeting, on Monday, the accounts were passed and a call of 31. per share was made. The engine will be at work in about a month ; and, after the water is forked, it is expected that ore will be raised sufficient to meet the expenses of the mine. The engine is erected on a very promising lode, and the adventurers are fully satisfied with their prospects. At the Wheal Susan meeting the accounts presented a balance against the adventurers of 496/. 14s. 7d. The mine cost and materials, including balance from last ac count, amounted to 799/. 1 Is. 7d. By the last call of 55., 250/. ; sale of tin, 22/. 75. 7d., leaving valance as stated. A further call of 10s. per share was made. By the report read to the meeting, we perceive that the total outlay has been 1,0501., of which 8501. has been for machinery. Several levels on the tin and copper lodes are expected to be shortly opened, and the fullest anticipations of a good return for capital invested are entertained by the agents. A meeting of Wheal Langmaid adventurers was held at Tamerton on Monday. The accounts were passed, and the captain's report read. It was resolved to con tinue to drive the 15 fm. level north, in which there is a kindly lode, as also to provide a water-wheel and pumps, to sink the shaft to the proper depth to make a trial at another level; this, it is expected, can be done in about three months' time, and a call of 3s. a share was made to defray its cost. If the present prospects con tinue a steam-engine will be purchased, for the further development of the mine. At Wheal Violet meeting, the balance due to purser was 236/. 16s. 6d., to meet which, and to prosecute fur ther operations in the mine, a call of 21. 103. per share was made. Captain Dale's report was, on the whole, satisfactory, and gave reason to believe that abundance of mineral would be found when the lodes were cut to the 20 fm. level. The expenditure for machinery had been heavy, but much of it was of a kind that would not occur again. The reports read at the Borringdon Park meeting two from the agents of the Wheal Trelawney, and one by the agent at Wheal Trehane-are such as may justly inspire the shareholders with the hope of good returns from the mine. Captain Kemp says that, from the ex tent of the sett, and the number of lodes comprised within its limits, the mine offers such inducements as are not often met with. The assays of the ores also give productive results, and the agent of Trehane con cludes his report by saying that the speculation is more than ordinarily tempting, and may be termed a sure in vestment, rather than an adventure. A call of 10s. per share was made, and Mr. Ilitchins was appointed super intendent of the mine. At South Wheal Josiah meeting, the report from Captain Humbly stated that operations in several poi lions of the workings had been suspended, on account of the water. The accounts showed a balance in favour of the company, supposing all calls to be paid, of 41/. 4 s. Bd. At the Kingsett and Bedford meeting last week, a call of 53. per share was made, and a brief report fram Cape Set moor, ex pre sive of his conviction that the mine would, in a very short time, pay cost and yield a profit, was read. We are glad to perceive ti-,at the differences between some of the shareholders, end their purser, use in a fair way of arrangement, thus removing a serious übstacle to the prolpority ot the mine. At the Trowan Con..ols meeting, at Hayle, on Tues day, the accounts showed-By hall of 10s. per share, 30th August, 751 10s.; tin sold (less lord's dues), 390/. 12, 5d.=4661. 2e. 51-13.,0k in debt end of June, 841. 9s. 6 , 1.; labour cost for July, August, and September, 226/. 18s.. 5d.; doctor and club, 4/. 10s.; merchants' bills, 103/. 158. 2d.-leaving balance in favour of mine, 6/. 9e. 4d.-Mr. J. M. Kernick was engaged at 2/. 2s. per month as clerk, and to assist the captain, and the captain's salary was increased to 61. 6s. At the Great Sheba Consols meeting there was a balance in hand of 250/. 6s, 4d. The calls paid on shares had been 1.0401.; and a fresh call of 2/. per share wa3 made, to meet the payment of 8651. on a contract just entered into for machinery. The meeting was held on the mine; so that the shareholders bad full oppor tunity of inspecting the operations. Captain Spargo's report states the produce of the lodes to be extraordinary, and active proceedings speedily contemplated. At the East Wheal Russell meeting, at which Mr. J. H. Murchison presided, being the first yet held, very sanguine anticipations were expressed as to the produc tive capabilities of the sett. A managing committee was formed, and Mr. Josiah Hitchins was appointed superintendent. Should the favourable opinions ex pressed by Captain Richards, of the Devon Great Con sols, and Captain J. Carpenter, be verified, the share holders will have reason to congratulate themselves on their investment of capital in this mine. The accounts presented at the West Wheal Seton meeting showed-Mine cost and merchants' bills for Sept. stud Oct., 8441. 2s. Bd. The ores sold, amount of last jail, and balance of last account, still leave a balance against adventurers, 54/. 18s 4d. A further call of 21. per share was made. At a special meeting of Low's Patent Copper Com patty, on Friday, Mr. W. H. Laseere was unaaimously chosen as directer, in the room of Mr. Edward Hunt, re signed. At the special general meeting of the Company of Copper Miners in England, much discussion on the present position of the company's affairs took place, and the report of the shareholders' committee was ulti mately adopted. It appears that the debenture holders intend making an application to Parliament. The next meeting will take place on the 2d of Jan. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the past week :—Trefusis, West Alfred Consols, Bedford United, East Wheal Leisure, West Tolgus, Tremayne, West Providence, Merllyn, South Tamar, Tincrott, Treviskey, Trannack and Bocean, Wheal Venton, Wellington, Devon Great Consols, Black Craig, Kirkcudbright, Alfred Consols, West Caradon, East Wheal Reeth, South Caradon, Wheal Arthur, Wheal Tom, Daren, Cwm Erfin, Wheal Franco, Cal stock United, Wheal Susan, Craig-y-Mwyn, Wheal Harriet, Low's Patent Copper Company, East Wheal Frances, Bryntail, Bedford United, Comlort„ Cook's Kitchen, Gustavus, Tamar Consols, Trelawny, Great Shensi Consols, Cafe Bruno, Wheal Russell, Langitaid, Wheal Venton, Devon and Courtenay, Drake Walls, Penzdnce Consols, Keswick, East Gunnis Lake, West Virgin, Mill Pool. In foreign shares more activity has becn observable, and business has been done in the following mines:— United Mexican, at a slight advance; Australian, Gene ral Mining, Cobre, Worthing (South Australia), and British Australasian. Dispatches have been received by the Wcrthing Mining Asseciation, dated the 10th and 12th of August, giving a lengthened account of the operations at the mines. In the first of these Captain Phillips states that in the Water,whe44 shaft. branches have been met with containing y. Hew sulphuret, the inference h 4 draws being that tie lode is. near. In the middle gully shaft operations hay. been suspended until an engine is at wen lt, and in the south end measures have been taken to test the size and regularity of thu lode. Other steps also were taken to ascertain the best spot for placing the engine, a course strongly advised by Capt. Phillips, without awaiting the trial of horse-power. By the letter of August 12, we learn that much obstruction to the works was occasioned by the water, which had cons pelled the suspension of the sinking in gully sdaft; the result, however, of the whim being kept working was, that two of the winzes had been partially drained.. When the engines are brought from port, they will pro bably be erected on the gully shaft, by which it was ex pected that the ground would he drained north and south of the lodes. In the south end the ground arid lode are hard; in the latter aro mingled minute spots of ore and muntlic. The report of the committee of management in the colony, which, with the other reports, will be found in another column, describes the operations now going on in water , wheel shaft, and refers to . a lode met with in one of the levels, which was not considered the true copper lode on the surface. The latter had undergone an examination, to ascertain its courstrand distance from' the shaft. The committee recapitulate the leading, works in progr e ss, the chief points of rhich - aregiieu 'id' the reports of Cipts. Phillips and :Richark sHodgkinion's wines was let on tribute. At north aa g t ona rp nsh o ti r t t t . t generally,besurfaeei!nitatiocttlit tions are very good, d he report much in the shape of positive results, shows that the operations were being actively prosecuted, and with a prosoect of ultimate success. The Linares riptirt contains no feature of peculiar interest. In Wilson's shaft the lode had bean found t:) improvo, and was worth 5 tors to a fm. In San Antonio wioze there are good stones of lead, but-the ground is ratt:er irregular and hard. The lodo in the 31 km. level continues good, and we observe it stated that the new pitch under the 45 fm. level, east of San Pablo, is wrought on a very productive lode, worth not less than 12 tons per fathom. The total ore in stock, including that at Linares, Seville, Baylen, Malaga, and lon shipboard, amounts to 590 tons 15 cwt. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the: United Service Gazette of this day.) GRRENIVICH HOSPITAL.—We rEgrtt to orate that Mr. Thomas F. Jessup, an old Paymaster and Purser of the Navy, and Steward of Greenwich Hospital, died yes terday. There have been a dozen expectants of his berth for the last half-year; but we believe that Mr. Elliot, the Stort keeper of Deptli rd Victuellieg-yard. will succeed the d, ceased , fficer. Mr. Ede, the Score keeper, witl suet,ed Mr. Elliot. There then remains to be filled up Mr. Ede's vacancy. REINFORCEMENT OE ROYAL ARTILLERY..---The gar rison Portsmouth is to be increased by au additional company of Royal .Artillt.ry from Woolwich; met force will then amount to four companies to be stationed at that place. VACANT BARRACK-MASTER.--By the death of Mr, Robert Hail, the appointment of barrack-master in th , Tower of London has become vacant. A PROTESTANT CREW FOR THE QUEEN OF ENG LAND'S YACHT.—The Admiralty have ordered the Vic toria and Albert, and her tender, to be paid off on she 31st of December, and re , cornruiesioned the Ist January - . 1851, the ship and her tender having been in commission for three years. It is believed that in the new entries care will be taken that there shall not be a majority of blue jackets or the Roman Catholic religion among the crew as at present. At all events, looking at the late " insolent and unwarrantable assumptions of the Pope," we are quite sure the nation at large, wallou . questioning the loyalty of Roman Catholic seamen for a moment, would deem it most advisable that the crew of the Queen of England's barge should be staunch Pro testants. TIIE SEA-GOING GUARD-SHIPS —The Admiralty have increased the compleme❑ts of the sea-going guard-ships at the ports. The Britannia, 120, at Portsmouth, is to have a complement of 480 instead of 420. The St. George, 120, at Devonport, is to have 494 officers and men, in stead of 475. IHE BIRKENHEAD STEAM SHIP.—Some silly ru moues have been in Circulation with respect to the satety of this ship. They have not the slightest fuunda tion. As we stated in last week's Gazette, she arrived at Madeira, and was to leave on the 2d of November for Ascension. Official letters have been received at the Admiralty from her, dated Madeira, Nov. 2. THE PACKET SERVICH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. — Great complaint having been made of the vt ant of ac commodation on board, as well as of the inferiority in point of speed, of the Admiralty steam-packets now em ployed in conveying the mails in the Mediterranean, the Admiralty have given orders to the authorities at Woolwich to fit the ex-Hoiyhead packets Banshee and Caradoc with their new boilers with the utmost dispatch, in order that they may be sent out as soon as possible to supersede sortie of the Mediterranean slow packets. These vessels will be chiefly employed between Malta and Marseilles, and we have no doubt will frequently put us in possession of news from Malta via France in five days and a half. It is undeniable, however, that this service, requiring such attention to comfort and convenience to passengers, is much better understood by private commercial than by commissioned officers, and could be carried out by contract at much less cost to the Government. THE ADMIRALTY PACKET SERVICE.—We believe the only remaining service now performed by the Ad miralty vessels is that between Dover and Calais, Dover and Ostend, and between Malta and Alexandria. Why these petty services are retained, when all the other lines have been contracted for by private companies, is rather a mystery. We believe, however, the South-Eastern Railway Company will, at the ensuing session, stimulate aseir friends to suggest to Parliament that the recom mendaiions of the Select Committee on the subject should be attended to in respect of the services above mentioned; and we understand the railway company are prepared to show that the work can be performed in these, as in all other ltnes of mail service, at a much less cost than is incurred by the Admiralty, taking into account the heavy expenses for Royal dockyard work and wear and tear of the ships employed. TEACHING ACCOUNTS.—The works department o' Pembroke Dockyard are so lamentably deficient in ac count keeping, that they have received intimation from the Admiralty that Mr. Scamp, the Assistant Director of Works at Somerset-house, will be with them very shortly, and relieve them in their difficulties. The blind obstinate Welchusen fancy that, as usual, both parties will tall into the ditch. BREAKING UP THE FALMOUTH PACKET ESTABLISH KENT.—FaImouth, at length, as a packet establishment, is doomed. Already have two of the packets been paid off, and the other four, as they return from Brazils, are ordered to Devonport to be paid off, their ser vices being superseded by the Contract Mail Steam Packet Company. Their Lordships have also this week ordered the store-ship Astrea, at Fal mouth, to be removed to Devonport and paid off, together wt.h Mr. Yeames, the master in charge, and the men terming the establishment there, namely, I master, 1 plan( r, 1 boatswain„ 2 carpenters, 1 petty officor, 4 2 bojs, and a purser's steward. Thus, in a w 1s) s, the once Lancets port of Falmouth, as a packet r..ndezvous, will not have a single pendant, either as a sta iunary ship or a visitor. What influence this fact may have on ti,e next election remains to be seen. 01.ITH- WESTERN DISTRIOT.—One of the coni monest and most daugeruue crimes which soldiers commit, is to strike a non-commissioned officer. It involves the highest penalty of military law, and seri uusly compromises discipline. No soldier, except ing he he an irreclaimable vagabond, commits the offence when sober; it is only when bereft of his senses he forgets the respect due to his superior. Non commissioned officers are aware of this, and are often disinclined to punish, but they cannot help themselves— they must take notice of so serious a breach of discipline, for the sake of the due exercise of their own authority and the maintenance of the respect which is the essence of their official being. The only way, therefore, to di minish the otime is to remove its causes; and as it seems difficult to eradicate drunkenness, the next best thing to be done is to keep non-commissioned officers out of the way of the men in a state of ebrity. To efftct this, Lord Frederick Fitzclarance has just issued an order that ho non-commission officer on duty shall approrch a drunden soldier. We are satisfied that its operation will be extensively beneficial, and we shall be Bald to hear of its general adoption in other garrisons. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FmAr.

The bankrupt, a share dealer, &c., of Lombard -street. came up to pass his last examination. The balai.ce sheet prepared by Mr. H. Hutton (Bucklersbury), ex tended trom July, 1845, to October last, and showed that the unsecured debts were 58,8054, to meet which the assets were returned at 21. in good debts, 41. 17s. doubtful. The secured debts were 2,6684, the property thus held being estimated at 2,3831. The liabilities were 965/. The bankrupt's capital in 1845 was stated at 11,0681., and while the profits on shares were put down at 3,356/., on commission, 1,5262; the trade expenses were 3 3564; interest, 500/.; law costs, 555/ ; house and personal ex. penses, 4,0954; losses on :shares from July to November, 1845, 60,4781.; on Cons9ls, 1.5701.; on bad debts, 8794; on railway circulars, 1561.; .t.tal losses, 63,104/. Mr. LAWRANCE said that the result of the trading had certainly been very disastrous, but there were cir• cuinstances in mitigation which would be brought before the Court in proper time. The bankrupt was a middle man, a share-dealer. and the losses fell heavily upon him. There could be no doubt that the capital was bowl tide. Mr. LINKLATER (for the assignees) offered no oppo sition, and the bar krupt passed. SHIP NE WS. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Lisbon, Nov. 30.

An Influential meeting of parties interested in pro moting the construction of a railway from the Glou cester and Dean Forest Railway to Ross and Hereford was held on Wednesday at Hereford. The meeting was addressed in support of the undertaking by Lord &Amen, Viscount Hereford, Mr. Brunel, Sir H. Price, M.P., Mr. C. Lewis, M.P., and other gentle men. It was stated that the line was intended to com mence by a junction with the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway at the Grange, Gloucester, and termi nate by a junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway at Hereford, the capital to be 275,0001., which it was expected would be sufficient to complete the railway as a single line, providing sufficient land fora double line, and also the working stock. It appeared that the contractors were ready to construct the works for about 13,000/. per mile, or 230,000/. The necessary notices of application to Parliament for a Bill in the ensuing session to authorize the con struction of the line have been given, and it is fully expected that parties locally interested will subscribe a sufficient amount to enable the promoters to comply with the standing orders of Parliament. A letter from Mr. Ormsby Gore was read to the meeting, stating that it was the intention of the direc tors of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Com pany to commence the works on that line on Tues day, the 17th inst., and to proceed with them as rapidly as possible. GREAT WESTERN EXTENSION ATMOSPHERIC. Yesterday forty of the noblemen and gentlemen who lent their names in promoticn of this undertak ing were summoned before his Honour Sir W. Horne, to show cause why, as members of the company in their own right, they should not be placed on the list of contributories. Mr. Edy appeared for Mr. Owen, the official manager, and Mr. Pryer, as counsel for some of the members of the managing and provisional committee, amongst whom were—Lord Dunbo ne, th e Hon. F. Berkeley, Sir J. Anderson, and Sir J. Young. Mr. Owen, who, it appears. wAs also secre tary to the company, having been sworn, deposed to these gentleman bavieg attended meetings at which it was resolved to make payments to the engineers and solicitors, and to their having acted in divers other capacities. At one of the meetings it was resolved to borrow 2,000/. and 5001. respectively, and his Honour placed upon the list, in conformity with the law laid down by the House of Lords, all those who were proved to be parties to the proceeding. The secretary stated that the whole number of shares allotted was 38,000, and that out of this number 12,000 were reserved, 7,500 of which were to be distributed among the 75 provisiOnal committeemen. The " panic " came, and the allotment was delayed until after the plans were deposited for Parliament, but the shares reached a premium of Ss. There are 1,100 names on the list of allottees. BAItNET AND NORTH IVItTROPOLITAN..— Ye'sterday Mr. Norris, the official manag,r of this company, came before his Honour Master Tinney, with the list of the contributories, in the character of provisional committee men, who accepted shares to which, as members of the body, they were entitled, and upon that ground they were placed upon the list. The liabilities to be defrayed amount to between 5,0001. and 6,000/. ; and 19,270 shares were allotted to 1,266 applicante. GREAT _NORTH OF ENGLAND AND GLASGOW UNlON.—Yesterday 60 of the members of the provi sional committee of this company were summoned before his Honour Master Blunt. Messrs. Torr and Sudlow appeared for Mr. Harding, the official ma nager, and the first name, that of Mr. Barkworth, was stru , ,,k off the list. His Honour refused cogs, on the ground that this gentleman had consented to be on the provisional committee. The other cases stand ad journed until the decision of the House of Lords is known on the appeal in .Maudslay's case. THE LATE BOAT.
