WINDSOR ELECTION. In accordance with the proclamation made in the course of the past week by Thomas Clark, Esq., the Mayor and re turning officer of the borough of Windsor, of the receipt by - him, from the Sheriff of Berkshire, of a precept to hold an election of a burgess to serve in Parliament, in the room of John Ramsbottom, Esq., deceased, the nomination of the candidates to supply the vacancy took place on Saturday at the Town Halls Notwithstanding the retirement of Mr. Walter, the independent electors who had supported him, determined that Colonel Reid should not walk over the course, and on the morning of Saturday the walls of Windsor Were pla carded with the following address from Mr. Rupert Kettle, a Barrister of the Middle Temple, offering himself as a can didate. " Gentlemen,—l have heard this evening, with inexpres sible regret, of the scandalous victory achieved by the mi nions of the Court and of the Government over the man of your free choice, Mr. Walter. So long as he was a candidate for ytiur suffrages, I determined to yield to his superior claims on your support ; but now that he feels compelled to retire from the field, owing to the unprecedented combina tion of evil influences against him, I can no longer resist the wish% s of my friends, and I feel it my duty as an honest and i n d epen dent Englishman, to appear among You on the day of election as the champion of your independence, and as the unflinching oppouent of the arrogant attempts recently made to dragoon. you into submission, and to convert you into the slaves of an overbearing faction. I have no time at present to enter into a lengthened detail of the politi cal principles on which I claim your support. On the hustings I will explain them at length, and give an ex plicit answer to any questipns which may be asked on the subject. Indeed, the chief value of the preliminary ceremony of nomination is that it enables the constituent to catechise the candidate on every point of his political creed. It is the duty of the elector to make every candidate undergo that ordeal. I submit to it with the utmost cheerfulness, and. I have no doubt that my honourable opponent will do the same. In one short paragraph, I declare myself the determined antagonist of all equivocating, temporising, and vacillating Ministers, the advocate of free institutions for all classes of her Majesty's subjects, the supporter of all useful reforms, the upholder of civil and religious liberty, and the determined enemy of the existing corn-laws. But my chief claim to your support, at present, I rest upon my determination to rescue your borough from the oppressive domination with which it is threatened, and to establish its independence for the future on a secure and permanent foundation. With this brief statement of my political opinions, I apply to you for support." The surprise which the announcement of a new candidate caused was enhanced by the appearance of that gentleman in propria persona. Shortly after 10 o'clock the Town-ball was opened, and the Mayor, accompanied by Colonel Reid and Mr. Kettle, and their respective supporters, appeared upon thehustings. The usual formalities having been gone through, 151 r. Alderman BAssagrsx proposed Colonel Reid as a fit and proper person to represent 'Windsor in Parliament. Mr. Alderman SNOWDEN seconded the nomination. Mr. Moss, a resident surgeon in the borough, then proposed Mr. Rupert Kettle ; and the nomination of that gentleman was seconded by Mr. MILLARD. Col. REID then addressed the electors, and most strenously denied that any undue influence bad been exercised in his behalf. lie declared that he solicited their suffrages on Conservative principles. Mr. KETTLE in the course of his address said, that the Castle influence had been exercised in' behalf of his opponent, who had even canvassed the cooks in ber Majesty's kitchen, and brought the Eton boys into the hall to swell the number of his supporters. He well knew what was meant by the sppellation Tory. There was a good, honest, straight f ,rward, John Bull manner about a Tory ; but he was ashamed to hear any man wearing her Majesty's uniform link himself to the phrase " Conservative."—(Loud groans and hisses.) He professed himself an uncompromising op ponent of the New Poor-law, and of the Corn-laws. After passing .a high eulogium on the public and private character of Mr. Walter, who would been triumphantly returned, but for the exercise of the castle influence in favour of Col. Reid. Under these circumstances, he had come forward at the eleventh hour, to rescue the borough from petty domination. The learned gentleman retired amidst loud, and general and long-continued cheers. The Mayor then took a show of hands for each candidate, when, according to our judgment, and that of several gentle men in our locality, the exhibition was decidedly in favour of Mr. Kettle. The MAYOR, however, declared the choice of the electors to have fallen by the show of hands upon Col. Reid. This announcement led to considerable uproar and confu sion, and loud were the shouts that the decision of the re turning officer was wholly without foundation. Mr. Moss, the proposer of Mr. Kettle, handed in a written pretest against he decision to the following purport ;—" I, William Moss, an elector of the borough of New Windsor, do hereby enter my solemn protest against the return of a Member to serve in Parliament for the said borough on the show of hands this day." The protest was handed to the Mayor, and by him deli ver& to the Town-clerk. Proclamation having been made three times for the nomi nation of any other candidate, and no poll being demanded on behalf of Mr. Kettle, The MAYOR declared George Alexander Reid, Esq., of Bul strode Park, in the county of Bucks, to be duly elected a burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of New Windsor. This announcement was received with tumul tuous plaudits. Colonel REID returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and moved a vote of thanks (carried byacclama tion)—to the Mayor for his urbane, dignified, and temperate conduct in presiding over the election. The court was then dissolved, and the gallant member for the borough was escorted to his head-quarters at the Castle Hotel, by a squadron of his adherents. Thus ended the pro ceedings of the Windsor election. We have only to add a fact, which may be inferred from our report, that Mr. Walter the day did not appear in the Town-hall. SEIZURE OF TWO THOUSAND POCNDS WORTH OF ILLICIT SPIRITS OF NITRE. A seizure of an almost unprecedented character was, on Satur day last, concluded and communicated to the Commissioners of Excise, by Mr. C. A. Davis, one of the detective officers of her Majesty's Customs. It will be in the recollection of the public, that, in the month of July last, the same indefatigable officer made a capture in the Globe-road, Stepney, of a most complete and ex tensively fitted distillery, together with upwards of 1,000 gallons of spirits, 52 over proof; and the materials alone, exclusive of the spirits, turibunted to forty waggon loads. In the course of his search certain documents fell into the bands of Mr. Davis, from which a clue was obtained that some thousand gallons of spirits had been recently removed from theprernises ; and from that time to the present his exertions have been unceasing to discover where this immense stock had been deposited. It appeared that in 1844 this officer found a large still on the premises of persens going by the name of " Berkeley and C 0.," of Grove-lane, Holloway ; but in consequence of the still being unset he could not legally seize it, but before leaving the house he wrote his A naine upon it. This still was afterwards found on the premises in the Globe-road. The solicitor of Berkeley threatened the officer with actions for trespass, but none were ever entered. On searching the premises in Globe-road, several documents were found from the same solicitor to the parties there, clearly showing that Bayley, Brothers, (the name they went by in the Globe-road), were identical with " Berkeley and C 0.," of the Holloway-road. This solicitor had drawn up certain legal documents, by which Bayley, Brothers, had teen enabled to mortgage the spirits to various persons for large sums of money, and the possession of them at once pointed out to whom the spirits had been consigned, After watching the removal of the spirits from place to place, Mr. Davis proceeded to the premises of Mr. George Firmin, tar taric-acid maker, in Rupert- street, Goodman's-fields, where he found 57 carboys, coatining 18 gallons each, of spirits of nitre, which he seized. He also found 36 empty carboys, which, from marks upon them, proved to have been received from the same source. He then went to the warehouse of Foote and Co., of Battersea,' where he got 19 carboys of the ssme, kind of spirits. From Foote's be went to Price's, also, of Battersea, where he found 9 carboys more. As each seizure in some degree assisted the officer In his search, he proceeded from place to place, with the fullest confidence. In the stable of a man named Smith, in the Maze, Tooley-street, concealed in some straw, he found 10 carboys and 2 casks of mo lasses; and from thence he proceeded to St. John's Wood-road, where, in a stable belonging to Abraham Grey, he found a similar number. At the house of a cornchandler named Hastie, in Wap. ping, he added 12 carboys to his already valuable prize, consisting of 12,5191b5. of this costly spirit, which, exclusive of duty, has been valued at no less a sum than 2,000/. • In addition to the seizure made by Air. Davis on the premises of Foote and Co., the Board of Excise have given directions to seize the whole stock of spirits on the premises, as, from documents in' the officer's possession, these parties, it appeared, have been the principal dealers, although they only professed to carry on the bu. siness of vinegar merchants. It also appeared that some time slime the board received notice that a great increase of the article of nitre was on sale in the market, and sold at a much cheaper rate than it could be legally manufactured for, but their officers were unable to account for the fact of it being so. This defalcation of duty is now apparent, and there is every probability that the par. ties will aeon be brought to justice. Proceedings are already commenced against the parties for pe. nalties to a most:enormous extent, for harbouring this illegal article. Had the duty been paid on merely what has now beets seized by AIL DAs, it would have amounted to upwards of 8001. To avoid suspicion in the removal of the spirits from the dis tillery the carboys were taken out separately, and deposited in the warehouses of a common carrier, near the City.road Basin, and from thence removed by the carrier's carts, as ordered by Bayley himself, the more securely to ensure their delivery unobserved by any district officers. To show that a visit from the Crown officers had been antici• pated, ai a precautionary measure each workman employed upon the premises of the distillery was provided with a blank letter, with the exception of the signature of the holder, and the receipt of it was at once anderstnod that the sender was " in trouble," or detected in an illegal act; and if either bail or money was required fin' his liberation, be had nothing to do but date the same, and send it to the before named member of the legal pro. Maim?, when every assistance.would be rendered him, the advo cate ostensibly only attending 'his professional character. Other important details of this original system of smuggling will appear in a few days, comprising some of the largest firms in London. THE CORN -LAWS. No t pne connected with railways can shut his eyes to the broad Nistaring truth, that the corn - law is the greatest fee he has to le with. At the present price of wheat one year's consump tion of the nation would cost some twenty-four millions sterling more than it tlid at the prices which ruled in the market some twelve wont back. The manufacturing and trading inter. eats will no doubt suffer from the high price of wheat, and the accounts from Manchester tell us already that trade is begin. ning to suffer, but the railway market suffered first and foremost. The blow was near)) , as severe as if some twenty millions of money had been abglutery lifted from the pockets of the shareholders. 'e railway market has been robbed of that amount by the corn— law. 'l4le sliding-scale is the real cause of the " falling sickness" which has attacked all descriptions of railway shares and scrips. It is the fear of high prices and the drain a bullion which the Directors of the Bank of England anticipate to pay for food, that has 'mused them to increase the rate of discount, and may cause them to increase those *tes still more. Lett( rs of allotment in railway companies are no longer in demand. Scrips which were dealt in for tire " coming out " at 3!. and 41. premium are no longer " paid upon," and when they are "come out" no money will come in. The public have shut their breeches pockets, and will not readily open them until they know what is to be the upshot of all the meetings and consultations of the Cabinet. We are afraid that flis„do-nbthing pokey is for the present to be the game, but It cannot long continue, for the price of corn will soon advance, in spite of the rascally system of averages, to such a height as wil ronse the people to a sense of the iniquities of these corn and pro vision laws, and compel the Ministers to do something effectual, The English people are slow to move ; they are animals that take a deal of kicking ; but once they really suffer from the cravings of an empty belly - , they are not to be trifled with. The mischief which has been done to so many of the small shopkeepers and families of the middle classes, by the sudden dept cation of rail way property, will increas e the general dissati;fleifon , and in duce the great bulk of th e electoral body to c l amour for free trade. Some tightness of money may be experienced at first from the change, because, in this case, as in every other en conn ected with our system of Governm en t , a b ad code h as be maintained against all reason and common sense, until the remedy could not be resisted from a fear of consequences. Th e c h ange is thus abrupt and startling, and, like all such rapid and ungracious Movements, even from bad to good, the process of transition will be attended with some difficulties ; but they stand in no weight I balanced against the advantages which would ensue from a repeal of the corn-laws, and by which the railway shareholder would be most signally benefited. Surely Mr. Hudson cannot hold fast to his pro earn-law principles, against the damning evidence of their doings, which the woe-stricken picture presented by the official share list now portrays. Discounts rule where pre miums formerly held their cheering sway, and even the ad vent of his own royal person to the chair does not pre vent the shares of the Eastern Counties from drooping to a lower price. They were done to.day at 20 to %, and this day last week at 22 to 1 / 2 . 'The holders of shares in that Company fully expected that the accession of the Member for Sunderland to their management would be at tended with an immediate rise in the value of their shares. They looked down with pity upon the scripholders of the poor London and York line, under the leadership of Mr. Beckett Denison, and generously offered to take them wider their wing by offering them a slice of the consolidated stock Which was to fill up the vacuum to be occasioned by their absorption. They have already found this beautiful vision little better than a dream, and yet, if we had been blessed with plenty of cheap food for the people, their expectations as to an advance in their:shares would very likely have been re alised. Whether the holders of the London and York scrip would have accepted the terms of coalition offered them by Mr. Hudson is another matter, and on that point we own that our opinion is not very confident. The House of Commons passed the Bill for a direct line from London to York by such a large majority last session, that they stand pledged to the principle, and that fact must naturally induce the promoters of the line to feel themselves of sufficient importance to fight another battle on their own account. —Chronicle. THE PRIVY COUNCIL. IMPORTANT INFORMATION. There can be no doubt whatever that the corn-law has formed one of the principal, if not the primary, subject for the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, in their late and protracted deliberations in Privy Council ; and the result, at this critical moment, when starvation, or something very little short of it, actually stares in the face several millions of her Majesty's subjects, has been looked for with the greatest possible anxiety. The result has not been allowed publicly to transpire, but we are enabled to state upon authority upon which we can place the most implicit reliance , that a majority of the Cabinet have resolved upon the continuation of the corn-laws as they at present exist, and without the slightest modification. How this will be received by , the country will remain to be seen ; but our own opinion is that it will create consider ble dissatisfaction throughout the whole of the manufactur ing districts, and be received with great pleasure by those who have lately speculated largely in grain.— Sunday Times • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PREVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. (From the Railway Record.) The London and Brighton Board have issued the following very judicious circular to their servants. The plan of issuing strict notices of accidents (as alluded to in Regulation No. 4) was adopted several years since on the Manchester and Leeds Railway : " To all Officers and Servants of the London and Brighton Railway Company. "The serious accidents which have recently occurred on several railways, have caused such anxiety to the Board, and they desire to impress upon you the necessity for unceas ing vigilance, and an exact observance of the Company' regulations. "To secure these as far as possible, the following addi tional regulations have been adopted : " 1. Every one in the service of the Company will be ex amined from time to time, to see that he has carefully read the regulations relating to his department, and that he un derstands and remembers them.

J. BUCKTON, Sec. "London Bridge, Sept. 1, 1845." STATE OF TRADE. —- - - - FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—There has been no material change in this branch of business since our last report. Prices remain without variation, and about the same moderate amount of business has been transacted. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—The transac tions in this branch of trade, both in combing and clothing Wool, have been small during the present week; prices are nominally without alteration. WALEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 7.—There has again been a very limited extent of business done in Wool of all sorts. In any little that has been done, the turn is rather in favour of the buyer, LEEDS.—Our Cloth markets at both Halls were very dull both on Saturday and Tuesday. The rumours of scarcity of money, as anticipated by many, have had considerable effect in causing buyers to be very careful in their purchases, and little is doing except to order. The stocks on hand at the close of the season cannot, however, be large, as the manufacturers have been acting on the cautious side for some time. Business has been dull in the warehouses during the week ; there is, however, a little more doing for the American market than for some time. LEICESTER.—Business continues in a healthy state in the Hosiery market—Yarns are steady. There is but little doing in long Wools, and the coarser kinds are dull of sale. Short Wools still command high prices. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, NOV. 6.—There is no thing different in the irool department, the spinners acting with caution, and only buying for present wants. In prices we do not hear of any change. The very much depressed Yarn trade is in no way improved. In short, all engaged in itappear to be disposed to do as little as possible, the prices being so ruinously low. Since our last report, another once higly respectable house has had to submit to the pressure of the present times. The continuance and general adoption of short time working is the only apparent safeguard, to protect us through the winter. We regret we cannot hear of any im provement in the Piece market to-day, either as regards demand or prices. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENDIG.—We have had a very dull and inanimate business in our Cloth market this week, which to-day closes with increasing heaviness and declining rates, and from appearances, there is no prospect of an early improvement. Though spinners are doing better than ma nufacturers, still this branch is anything but brisk, and where sales are made, a slight reduction has been submit ted to. LANCASHIRE, Nov. 6.—At Bolton, the demand for Cot ton Yarns has been limited during the last few days, and prices of some sorts are a shade lower. Counterpanes are moderately brisk, and fine Ginghams are in particular re quest. Bleachers have more work than they had a month ago. Machine printers in the town and neighbourhood are not so busy as they were six weeks since, and calico block-printers have very little work indeed. The broad Silk trade at Leigh, Failsworth, Middleton, and the neighbourhood of Manchester, is rather dull, yet it is not so slack as is usually the case at this season of the year. The best qualities of fine broad Satin Shawls, and new descriptions of fancy work are in particular request. The Silk and Cotton Small Ware business in the same districts is rather slack, and at some silk mills hands have only four days work per week. There has been a larger number of buildings erected this year than for a long time past, WHOLESALE SHEEP-STEALING.—The graziers and' farmers in various parts of the country have recently been thrown into a state of much alarm in consequence of the wholesale plunder they have experienced of their sheep and other produce, and information of the robberies were forwarded during the' past week to the officers and stations of the Metro politan and City police—viz., from the grounds of Mr. Thomas Hargreves, of Lamb hill Fell, near Slainburn, Yorkshire, were stolen a few days since no fewer than 120 sheep, of different ages and kinds ; from a field at Northfleet, Shadwell, were stolen 36 sheep, the property of Mr. Westhopp, biscuit-baker of that place; from Bransop, Hereford, the property of Mr. Adams, farmer, 9 ewes, and 2 lambs; from Peopleton, near Upton Snodbury, the property of Mr. John Rogers, butcher, 5 ewe sheep ; from Abbington Lodge Farm, by the shepherd, 3 wether sheep, the property of Mr. Etty ; from a sheep-fold. at New Farm, Bagshot, 2 tegg sheep, the property of Mr. Lane, farmer; from a turnip-field, on the farm of Clifford Forge, 2 lambs; and from a field near the Ferry-gate, Rye, were stolen 3 ewe sheep. SHOCKING CASE OF SEDUCTION.—A shocking case of seduction has been brought to light this week at Hunslet in this parish. The young lady is of a most respectable and well-known family ill that place; and the supposed seducer is the assistant curate of Hunslet Chapel, the Rev. Mr. Sweet, a young married man with four children. The gen tleman denies his guilt; but a correspondence has come to light which proves it beyond all doubt; and such is the po pular indignation that when, on Thursday evening, Mr. Sweet went to the house of the lady, the house was sur rounded by women and others threatening to pull him to pieces. Application being made to the police : oflice, a strong body of police were sent to rescue the culprit from the be siegers ; and he was brought off in a coach to Leeds, having narrowly escaped with his life.—Leeds Mercury. DUNSTER CASTLE.—The fate and fortunes of Charles I. afford one of the most striking subjects for his torical fiction, and Mr. Hewlett, in the entertaining work he has just published, under the title of "Minster Castle," could not have selected a period more fruitful of picturesque events, nor one more produaive of eminent and interesting charac ters, for calling general attention to his volumes. Of the his torical personages who figure in his work, we find Charles and his Queen, Henrietta Maria—their sons, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York—the Princes Rupert and Maurice— Hyde, Earl of Clarendon—Earl Pembroke, Chancellor of Oxford—Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury—John Pvin and Hampden, the patriots—Colonel Sir John `Wyndham—and the Earl of Essex. The story is an animated narrative, in which the most dramatic features of the great rebellion have been carefully preserved in a relation of the romantic adven tures of a particularly interesting hero and heroine. There can be no doubt that " Dunster Castle" will add considerably to the distinguished reputation the author has already ac quired, and will be a lasting favourite with the public. THE POTATO DISEASE AT SUNDERLAND.—A quan tity of potatoes, grown in the neighbourhood of Sunderland, was brought into that town on Thursday for sale. Several potatoes in the heap, on being picked out by a medical gen tleman, were, on examination, observed to tie covered with small white fungi spots. Curiosity was excited, and, on fur ther examination, he discovered innumerable small white worms, somewhat similar in appearance to the wire worm, extremely active, and measuring from a quarter to three quarters of an inch in length, imbedded in a species of spawn, chiefly attached to the eyes of the potatoes. On cutting up some of the potatoes, they were found to be of a chocolate colour, and quite spongy. He also observed, though almost imperceptible to the eye, several very minute red insects, running about with the greatest activity. It is considered an excellent preventative of the disease to sprinkle slacked lime amongst the potatoes previous to their being pitted.

THE LONDON COFFEE AND EAT ING HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION-PRE SENTATION OF PLATE TO THE LATE PRE SIDENT. (ssom A CORRESPONDENT.) On Tuesday last, the Committee of the above Aesociation, with several friends, dined at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street. Mr. Binmore, the President, took the chair; and Mr. Conneybear officiated as his "Vice. Ample justice having been done to a most excellent din ner, the cloth was removed, when the usual loyal toasts were given and heartily responded'to. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, the next toast was the one of the evening, namely, the health of their late Presi dent, who had not only been a very liberal donor to the funds of their institution, but had exerted himself to the utmost for its benefit.—(Hear.) Drunk with three times three, amidst loud applause ; which having subsided, the Chairman presented Mr. Kirton with a valuable silver salver and snuff box, each bearing the following inscription : " This silver salver and box is presented to Mr. l William Kirton, by the members of the London Coffee and Eatinghouse-keepers' Association, as a token of their esteem and regard for the zeal, ability, and liberality displayed by him during the time he fulfilled the office of Vice-President and President, and for his valuable services upon all occasions to advance the interests of the Association.—November, 1845." Mr. KIRTON, in returning thanks, said he had often had to ask for their indulgence when addressing them, but he never needed it so much as on that occasion. He thanked them, most sincerely for the valuable presents just handed to him by their Chairman—valuable in themselves, and the more so as coming from parties with whom he had been many years associated in the good work of providing fur their less fortunate brother tradesmen. When he first took the office of Vice-President, he felt it was one which required part of his time and perseverance, and he had certainly done his best to promote the interests of their society, and which, he was happy to say, had been sucsessful ;he d, however, to thank not only those present, but many who were absent, for the kind assistance which they had rendered him, and, in fact, fur the general good feeling evinced towards him whilst he held both offices.—(Hear, hear.) He had always been proud to attend their meetings. He begged once more to thank them, and in conclusion to add, that he should re gard their gift with the most lively feelings. He would con tinue his humble exertions for their society, which he trusted would continue to flourish beyond the wishes of its most ardent friends.—(Loud cheers.) The healths of the Chairman, the Vice, the Committee, Secretary, Visitors, &c., were proposed in the course of the evening, and duly responded to. Several excellent songs were also sung by Messrs. Hum phreys, Hare, Abbot, Page, &c. The salver and snuff-box, which were manufactured by Mr. Ive, of Cheapside, were greatly admired. DIRECT TAXATION AND TAXA TION 'MONEY. (From the Sentinel.) In compliance with the request of numerous correspon dents, we purpose devoting a special article to the two sub jects above indicated. Itwill enable us to place the action of the currency on productive labour in a clear light. We hold that the revenue of a country ought to be levied on property, and not on articles of consumption. We con sider that income, whether arising from wages, the profits of trade, or professional services, should be exempt from all fiscal contributions to the state. But since, in the present state of Parliamentary representation, this doctrine would assuredly be rejected by the Legislature, we must endeavour to accomplish indirectly what is refused directly. This is to be done through taxation-money. The Legislature of a country always take the initiative in the imposition of taxes; they fix the amount to be levied within the financial year. This is their undoubted privi lege. But it constitutes no part of their privilege to pre scribe gold as the medium in which the payment is to be made. That metal is not indigenons to our country; it is a foreign commodity, and to compell the people to pro vide that which they d o no t p os sess, and which they can only procure by giving for it an enormous amount of time and industry, is an act of despotism for which no - thing can be pleaded but that " such is the will of Pharaoh." In our view, the Government that imposes taxes ought to furnish the material in which the taxes are to be paid. The wooden tallies of the feudal age, and the Exchequer-bill of modem times, are in the nature of such materials as we de siderate. Neither possess intrinsic value ; both are symbols ; both are convertible into taxes, but not into the precious metals. They are the cheap and efficient instruments in which a Government and its subjects may settle its accounts. If Parliament vote forty, or fifty, or a hundred millions of taxes, just to that extent ought it to issue taxation notes. In such notes Government should pay its debts and receive its credits. Both being equal in amount, the whole circulation would annually return into the Treasury ; there would be no deficiencies, no necessity for converting a float ing into a funded debt; and it is obvious, that had this sys tem always been acted upon, not one farthing of our national debt could, by possibility, have existed. If we cannot alter the past, we may, in the future, prevent any addition to the public burdens. But it will be objected to this system, that the taxation note, when compared with gold, would be depreciated. Granted—it wouldcertainlybedepreciated but not deteriorated, and the distinction is not verbal, but fundamental. The note would still pass for a pound of account, and liquidate taxes to that amount, when pleaded into the Exchepuer as a dis charge. It would release the indebted subject from his obli gation to the Crown, and that is its whole function. It has nothing to do with the bullion merchant ; it was issued for internal, not foreign purposes, and is strictly a fiscal l not a trading instrument. Preserving its integrity in this, its it de fined character, it cannot be said to be deteriorated ; foris assumed that Government will always take back these taxa tion-notes for the precise value at which it issued them. But the question of depreciation remains. One of these notes would not purchase 123 grains of gold, as a modern Bank of England note will. We admit the fact. But how does it arise? From taxation, which always reduces the pur chasing power of the pound; and the amount of taxation is the precise mathematical measure of such reduction. Now, let us assume for a moment, that our revenue was wholly raised by direct taxation; and that it required twenty per cent. on all the rateable property of the kingdom to pay the amount voted by Parliament. Instead of this, how ever, with indirect taxation, issue taxation-notes equi valent to that amount. At the same time preserve the de nomination, in these notes, of pounds of acc o un t. Th e y would of course be depreciated, as comp are d w ith go ld, twenty per cent. ; or, in other words, though they were called pounds, each of them would only b e wor th s i x t een shillings. But the excision of four shilli ngs wou ld b e d ue to taxation, and express it. This is the true sense in which such notes would be depreciated, though, for fhe reasons al ready assigned, they would not be deteriorated. Our intentioa was to have confined this article to an ex position of the principle on which taxation mo ne y res ts. But, on subsequent reflection, we deem it right to give some illustration of the mode in which it would act. We will take the case of absentees, who spend on the Con tinent the incomes they derive from British l a b our . N ow , suppose a fundholder in this position, and receiving dividends to the amount of one thousand pounds. Pay him in taxation notes. As these would be limited to British circulation, and not be negotiable on the Continent, the fundholder would have to apply to a bullion merchant, who would give him for his thousand paper pounds only eight hundred gold pounds, for the deduc tion of two hundred pounds, or twenty per cent. would be just the amount the fundholder owed for his share of taxa tion, and which amount he would hav e t o pay were d i rect taxation levied. In this manner we should effectively lay hold of absentees and make them contribute to the burthens of the State, and teach ahem what the Man c h es t er Ch am b er of Commerce denies , th at capital does owe allegiance to country. PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS.--A Parliamentary piper has just been issued, containing a list of the new places created and appointments made, since September, 1841. There are 24 new places in the return, which extends to 18 pages. In the courts of equity a number of new places have been created. It is stated that the appointment of the clerk of emoluments, the clerks of records and writs, and taxing masters, and of their respective clerks, took place under the Act for abolishing certain offices of the High Court of Chancery in England, which abolished the offices of 43 per sow, whose receipts from fees exceeded 77,0001. a-year. The annual expense of the new establishment, including gaieties, amouts to 25,611/. lls. N. In the lunacy depart ment several" offices were abolished. The appointments made in the Court of Bankruptcy are given in the return, and in respect to the appointment of 12 commissioners for the country districts, at 1,8001. a-year each, it is stated that the salaries were given by the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 122, which abolished the country commissioner, acting under the old system, whose fees, including their travelling expenses. amounted, on an average, to the annual sum of between 50,0001. and 60,0001. Since August, 1844, three offices for the railway department of the Board of Trade have been made, the annual expense for salaries of which is 3,600/. JESUIT WRITERS IN AN UNIVERSITY REVIEW.—It has long been suspected that an active correspondence has s e i x ty ist o e f d o b e x t f o o • r e d en ; O a s n c d o t t the a n n d a c m e r e t s a i o n f m s o e m m e b e o r ms o the t h f e e U l o n , s i , Ne r s• of Magdalene College have come before the public as not un connected with it.

We also hear, from a source on which we can rely, that the cause of the Jesuits is openly and boldly espoused in some of the common and combination rooms of the Universities, on the part of those who have not seceded, with Messrs. Newman, Oakeley, and Ward, from their Protestant emoluments—" quousque tandem ? Church and State Gazette. SmPWRECES AND Loss Or LIFE.—On Wednes day, the 29th tilt., the Flora of Kirkcudbright, a coasting vessel, coal-laden, John Jolly, master, and the Akaster of Whitehaven, also coal-laden, William Atkinson, master, left light esse on n w the r e a th v e er l y at i t i e e r avy por r t a f i o n r the Scotch coast. A storm quickly came Little eing on—there was a strong wind from the south-south-west, and ; ob an se t re t d ow h a y rd driven forward, and soon after six o'clock they struck on the rugged and dangerous Borgne coast about eight miles west south-west of Kirkcudbright. They were driven on and t s h e ev te e i ni p n ett, t t h h e e over some perilous reefs oc rocks, and in a little time went to pieces. The Flora bad two men and a female passenger. The master got on to the rocks, and by and by to the land ; and by great exertions the other two reached the land, though at the time they did not know but their companion had perished. After wandering fo a while, the man and woman, perceiving a light, got to the farm-house of Robert. son, where they were kindly and humanely treated by Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The alarm was given, and several persons with lights went in search of the wreck, and, if possible, to rescue the unfortunate seamen. After a considerable time, the master of the Whitehaven vessel was found on tile rocks, so feebled, benumbed, and exhausted, that without assistance he must have perished. After the vessel got over a reef, she fell on one side, with the mast on high rocks. The master crept on his hands and knees on the mast, and called on his companions to follow him ; and though they spoke and named him, be is of opinion they did not make the attempt. Several of the persons who went to render assistance heard the mournful cries of the distressed, but swing to the darkness of the night, the severity of the storm, and the ruggedness of the shore, they could not find them, and no doubt i s enter t a i ne d that they have perished. Captain Atkinson, who was much cut and b ruised, wa s con .. ve3-ed to Roi)erton, where he also was Imnanely sheltered and attended to. C apta i n J o lly, who had been in great danger, after wandering for some time, knew where he was, and reached the house of his brother, when the alarm was given, and a party went in search of the sufferers. The female passenger was much cut and bruised; her name is Carr. She had been at service in Whitehaven, was returning to her widowed mother in Kirkcudbright, and the reticule which contained her money is lost.--Dumfries Courier. NEW UNIVERSITY MOVEMENT. We have been favoured with the following copy of an ad dress to the Hebdomadal Board at Oxford, which we noticed the week before last, and which we believe has since been presented. We have no time for remarks on it, except to say that it appears important, rather as indicating a defect than as suggesting a clear remedy : "Considerable efforts have lately been made in this country for the diffusion of civil and spiritual knowledge, whether at home or abroad. Schools have been instituted for the lower and middle classes, churches built and endowed, missionary societies established, further schools founded, as at Marl borough and Fleetwood, for the sons of poor clergy and others; and again, associations for the provision of addi tional ministers. But between these schools on the one hand, and on the other the ministry which requires to be augmented, there is a chasm which needs to be filled. Our universities take up education where our schools leave it, yet no one can say that they have been:strengthened or extended, whether for clergy or laity, in proportion to the growing population of the country, its increasing empire, or deepen ing responsibilities. " We are anxious to suggest, that the link which we find thus missing in the chain of improvement should be supplied by rendering academical education accessible to the sons of parents whose incomes are too narrow for the scale of ex penditure at present prevailing among the junior mem bers of the University of Oxford, and that this should be done through the addition of new departments to ex isting colleges, or, if necessary, by the foundation of new collegiate bodies. We have learned, on what we consider unquestionable information, that in such institu tions, if the furniture were provided by the college, and pub lic meals alone were permitted, to the entire exclusion of private entertainments in the rooms of the students, the annual college payments, for board, lodging, and tuition, might be reduced to 601. at most, and that, if finality were enforced as the condition of membership, the student's en tire expenditure might be brought within the compass of 801. yearly. " If such a plan of improvement be entertained by the authorities of Oxford, the details of its execution would re main to be considered. On these we do not venture to enter, but desire to record our readiness, whenever the matter may proceed further, to aid, by our personal exertions or pecuniary contributions, in the promotion of a design which the exi gencies of the country so clearly seem to require.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY NIGHT.—A decision, of itself , unimportant as to the amount of dispute, but of the greatest consequence to the sporting world as regards the question in volved, was given this day by Matthew Devonport Hill, Esq., Q.C., Recorder for the Borough, at the Mayor's Court. The facts of the case are briefly these :—At the close of the past year a wager was made between the plaintiff and a man named Barber, to play a game at " put, the plaintiff staking 11. 55., and his opponent 11. In consequence of a dispute having arisen in the course of the game, and Barber affirming that he had won owing to some mistaken play on the part of Smith, that party at once threw down the cards and refused to play any further; at the same time denying that he had lost the game, and asking for his money from Mr. Chettaway, the defenda•it, who refused to give it him, but handed it over to Barber. The consequence was that Smith sued Barber for the 11. 55., and the case came on for trial this day, when Mr. W. Morgan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. T. Harding for the defendant. A witness having been called by the plaintiff's attorney, who proved that the money was paid into the defendant's hands, in his capacity of stakeholder, while the game of cards was playing, Mr. Hardingsaid he thought that that fact hav ing been admitted by the plaintiff's witnesses must put an end to the case—to show which he would refer the Learned Recorder to the 18th section of the Act of Parliament recently passed, to "Amend the Law concerning Games and Wages," in which it was enacted, " That all contracts or agreements, whether by parole or in writing, by way of gaming and wagering, shall be null and void ; and that no suit shall be brought or maintained in any Court of Law or Equity for re covering any sum of money or valuable thing, alleged to be won upon any wager, or which shall have been deposited in the hands of any person to abide the event on which any wager shall have been made. Provided always that this enactment shall not be deemed to apply to any subscription, or contribution, or agreement to subscribe and contribute for, ortoward, any plate, prize, or sum of money, to be awarded to the winner or winners of any lawful game, sport, pastime, or exercise." . . The Recorder having looked over the clause and the Act in general, expressed some surprise at the construction of it, and said that if the Parliament were obliged to put a reason able construction upon all the Acts that they had passed, be was afraid that they would not often find time for a recess. Although the Legislature might think that by preventing actions being brought against stakeholders they should be putting an end to parties entrusting stakeholders with money, he did not anticipate any such result, nor did be think that they would retain the money for their own. use, but give it to the parties they might deem the winner, and, of course, such a decision would be final, as no remedy could be obtained against the stakeholder. After hearing Mr. Morgan, who sought to explain away the meaning of the clause, but without effect, the Learned Recorder, presuming that playing the game in question was unlawfid, decided that the plaintiff must be nonsuited.— Correspondent of Hereford Journal. THE LOSS OF THE MARGARET. By the Queen of Scotland steamer, which arrived early on Wednesday from Hamburgh, having brought over the sur viving portion of the crew, except Captain .Rawlinson, of the unfortunate steam-ship Margaret, we have elicited the follow ing particulars respecting the passengers who were lost with the ill-fated vessel, as also some further disclosures connected with the catastrophe : The poor fellows who have been thus preserved, are seven in number, comprising the chief and second mate, two sea men, two engineers, and an apprentice, all of whom are at present suffering from a severe attack of illness, consequent upon their being exposed so long to the intense cold and fury of the storm. They state, in addition to the hasty particu lars which were forwarded to the owners, and which ap peared in this paper a few days ago, that after the storm had somewhat abated the bodies of the whole of the passengers were found on the deck of the cabin, where they had been left when the crew took to the mast-head. They describe the scene to have been one of the most heart-rending cha racter. Amongst the bodies were those of a fine healthy middleaged woman and her five children; the eldest was a girl from thirteen to fourteen years of age. It appears she was on her way to America, to join her husband, and they apparently had perished from the intense cold. The body of another of the passengers, a stout young man, about thirty years of age, was lying near the group. lie seemed to have been a soldier, and was on his way to London to assist, so it was understood from him, at a sugar-baker's at the east end of the metropolis. The rest, from their look and the nature of their dress, seemed to be Polish Jews, most of whom were travelling jewellers. Two of their bodies were discovered in the steward's pantry; one in a stooping position, having, it was supposed, fallen thus in death ; and the other standing upright, with his right arm extended, and in his hand a prayer-book opened. Another of these poor creatures was found dead in one of the coal-bunkers. Mr. Archbold, the chief mate, states that several of the passengers had con siderable property about them. The woman was known to have changed at Hamburgh a thousand dollar bill for cash, which, for security, she wore inside a belt round her. Most of the Jews bad also considerable quantities of property about them. The sufferings of all on board before the vessel struck, painful as they must have been from the former description of them, appear from the tale of the survivors to have been much more so. As has been previously announced, the ship was tossed about for five entire days. On the day prior to her destruction they lost the whole of their fresh water and provisions, with the exception of the bread, which having been saturated with salt water and sand, was perfectly use less in the shape of food, and there is no doubt that they would have all perished in the same way as the passengers, had not one of the seamen secured a pint of brandy in a bottle in his Guernsey , frock. During the time they were lashed in the rigging, a period of twelve hours, the night was one of the most tempestuous character, for, in addition to the fearful gale, it rained, bailed, and snowed, 2nd not one ever expected to live the night out. At the break of day, however, they were somewhat rejoiced to find that the sea had moderated; which enabled them to descend. As may be imagined, they were in a pitiable state of exhaustion, scarcely able to stand. They however rallied, and finding a piece of beef had b een washed under the bowsprit, they prepared to light a fire in the galley—the mate finding some stray lucifer matches in his pockets—with a view of cooking it. They got it cooked, but the raft being ready at the same moment, and the tide being favourable to carry it ashore, they jumped on it, and pushed off from the ill-fated ship. The raft, however, was knocking about for five or six hours before they effected a landing, two of them perishing from cold and exhaustion ere that was obtained. On reaching Norden, the British Consul housed them at an inn, wligre food and clothing were bountifully supplied. Two days afterwards, having somewhat recovered, they left Norden in a fishing boat to visit the wreck, in order if possible to bring ashore the bodies of the passengers. Al though the distance was only 15 miles they were unable to come up with the wreck until Sunday, owing to the continuance of the storm. On arriving they found that she remained entire, but perfectly embedded in the sands, utterly irrecoverable. Her wooden decks had partially given way. and portions of her cargo had floated out, but nothing was seen of the bodies, which no doubt are buried with the ship in the sands of the Isle of Juist. The body of the steward Turpin was picked up, which, with the two others who had perished on the raft, viz., Henry Heath, fireman, and James Leaper, seaman, were interred near Norden, the funeral being attended by the survivors and several hundreds of the inhabitants. Turpin was an unmarried man, but was the principal support of his mother, who is residing at Hull. The other two have left widows and families. The crew declare that the conduct of Captain Rawlinson, during the severe trial was most calm, skilful, and deliberate. For 12 hours before the steamer struck he took charge ?f the wheel, and maintained it until it was dashed from his hold by the seas that swept over the vessel. He still re mains at Norden for the purp ose o f pro t ec ti ng w hat portions of the wreck may be washed up, as also to identify any of the bodies the:passengers that may be cast ashore. AIR CHURN. —The Farmer's Gazette gives an account of a very curious churn invented by the Bishop of Kildare. " Milk," it says, " e ssentially consists of an oil, which in chemical language is called buterine ; of curd, also called cassine ; and of whey, with some neutral salts not very important. These matters are held together by so loose a degree of affinity, that they separate spontaneously when at rest, the oil rising to the top. To convert this oil into butter, it is only necessary to bring it into intimate contact with the oxygenous portion of the atmosphere. Instead of the prevalent and unscientific mode of effecting this by churning, his Lordship accomplishes this measure by the more scientific and simple manner of forcing a full current of atmospheric air through the cream, by means of an exceedingly well-devised forcing pump. The air passes through a glass tube connected with the air-pump, descending nearly to the bottom of the churn. The churn is of tin, and it fits into another tin cylinder, provided with a funnel and stop-cock, so as to heat the cream to the necessary temperature. The pump is worked by means of a wince, which is n ot so laborious as the usual churn. Independently of the ha ppy application of science to this important department of domestic economy, in a practical point of view it is extremely valuable. The milk is not moved by a dasher , as in the common churn ; but th e i oxygen of the atmosphere is brought. into close contact with the cream, so as to effect a full combination with the butyra ceous i part, and to convert it all into butter. This new churn is washed but with far greater facility than the wooden ones ' • and the mode of warming the cream is extremely well de vised and simple. The butter itself is excellent; and what constitutes perhaps the best practical criterion of its success is, that the woman who has the management of the dairy has given her perfect adhesion to the new churn. SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR TORRES STRAITS. (From the Sydney Government Gazette.) His Excellency the Governor, in directing the publication of the following sailing directions for the passage through Torres Straits, from Rains's Island to Cape York, prepared by Captain F. B. Blackwood, of her Majesty's ship Fly, and also similar directions for the passage through Endeavour Straits, prepared by Lieutenant Yule, of her Majesty's ship Bramble, gladly avails himself of the opportunity of express ing the high sense he entertains of the services rendered to the commercieal interests of the colony by Captain Black wood and the officers associated with him in the survey of Torres Straits, and alsofor their exertions in the erection of the beacon on Raine's Island. His Excellency the Governor further directs it to be noti fied that charts of the passage in question have also been re ceived from Captain Blackwood, and having been litho graphed, copies may be obtained on application to the port master at Sydney, and harbour master at Melbourne, at a charge of ss. for the set, including a copy of the sailing directions. SAILING DIRECTIONS FROM PAINE'S ISLAND TO CAPE YORK. The beacon erected on Raine's Island is in long. 144 6 52 E., lat. 11 33 49 S. ; variation of the compass 3 50 E. This position having been determined with great care both by chronometric measurements and by a series of astrono mical observations, may be considered as nearly correct, and will afford a good opportunity for ships passing to test their chronometers. The top of the building (which is a circular stone tower) is 75 feet above low water mark; and it was constantly seen from the masthead of her Majesty's ship Fly, at a distance of 13 measured miles. It is coloured towards the S.E. with vertical black and red bands; the dome which surmounts the building beingpainted white. Provisionshave been left inside the building, and it is hoped that a large five-ton tank, with a good pipe laid down into it from the top of the beacon, may be the means of affording a good supply of fresh water to any persons who may be unfortunate enough to be wrecked in the neighbourhood, and who may land on the island. A reef on which the sea always breaks heavily runs out E.S.E., one mile and a half from the base of the beacon (which is built on the east extreme of the island), and closing in towards the islet on its western side, leaves a small piece of sheltered water where boats may land and small vessels an chor in four fathoms. It is high water at the full and change at eight a.m , and the average greatest rise of the tide ob served was nine feet at that period. The midchannel course for the channel south of Raine's Island is W.S.W.; and for the northern S.W. by S., both perfectly clear, on which direction having steered for nine miles, soundings will be obtained in from 17 to 25 fathoms coarse coral sand. The flood tide sets in about NV. by , from two to three knots per hour at the springs, therefore a ship steering by the north channel; and having the flowing tide, wilt be liable to set towards the reefs which form the northern boundary of the passage; and if it be late in the evening when she enters, should anchor directly she strikes soundings; if plenty of daylight, haul up to S.W. half NV., for the middle banks, which should be seen (after having run 13 or 14 miles from the time of obtaining sound ings) on the starboard bow, and Sir C. Hardy's Islands ahead. Better anchorage will now be obtained in twelve and thirteen fathoms coral sand, and the ship will be in a good position for steering in for the main land by passing either north or south of the Cockburn Reef. The middle banks are three or four small sand-banks, generally showing above water, and surrounded by small coral reef, of which there are no outlying dangers. From them the beacon on Raine's Island bears N.E. by E., half E. twenty-six miles, peak of northern Hardy Island S.W. by W. twelve miles, and Ashmore's Sand-banks, three in number, wilt be seen bearing S., nearly six miles distant, and. the east extreme of the Cockburn Reef, W. by S. nine miles. To pass in by Polard's Channel, or to the south of the Cockburn Reef, when one mile from the middle banks, bear ing north, steer a W. half S. course for nine miles, and when within one-third of a mile from the end of the reef (which always breaks, and is quite bold to approach), alter course to S.W. by W., and steer close along the southern edge, by which means a series of shoal patches, which lie between the Cockburn Reef and Hardy's Isles will be avoided. This channel is very deep, 28 and 25 fathoms, and in no part is less than three-quarters of a mile in breadth, and appeared, on a very close examination, to be perfectly clear of sunken dangers; strong tide ripplings gave the appearance of shoal water when her Majesty's ship Fly sailed through, but the lead gave nothing less than 25 fathoms. It is about eight miles in length, and when the northern Hardy Island bears E. by N., a small sand-bank (which is the southern and western extreme of the dangers) being visible, and nearly on with Haggerston Island extreme, and the Cockburn Isles bear N. by W., a course may be steered for the Bird Isles, which. bear N.W., distant eighteen miles. To pass on the north of the Cockburn Reef, steer as before, to make the pitch of the reef, when soundings of eight fathoms will be obtained ; having clearly made out the breakers on the reef, which is safe to approach, and at the distance of half a mile or less from it, steer a due west course for eight or nine miles, till the Cockburn Isle bear S.W. by S.; being then about a mile from the reef, steer along its edge in nine or ten fathoms on the north-westerly course. The Bird Isles should now be seen bearing west. From the north extreme of the Cockburn Reef, which should be rounded in ten or eleven fathoms, a S.S.W. course for a mile or two will lead clear of a sunken patch (bearing west three miles from the end of Cockburn Reef), and a direct course may then be steered for the islands above-named. By keeping along the edge of the Cockburn Reef, a series of dangerous shoal coral patches, which run in a parallel directiop to the reef, at a distance of three miles from it, Will be avoided; the southern danger bears N.W. by W. from the eastern extreme of the Cockburn Reef; and a good mast head look-out will detect its position, it being very shoal (five feet) on one part of it. The Bird Isles being reached, all sail may be carried, and Captain King's track followed to Cape York; and it may be observed, that in with the main land the bottom is mud, and perfectly clear of sunken dangers. I would, therefore, recommend reaching the Bird Isles as soon as possible, for when reached the danger of Torres Straits may be said to terminate. Should the weather, however, be fine and clear, in a vessel not drawing more than 15 or 16 feet water, the middle tract may be safely pursued. To follow this tract pass either north or south of the Middle Banks, and steer a N. by W. course for 30 miles, keeping a bright look out for several sunken coral patches which exist near the track, and if the sun be not a head they will be distinctly seen; having run this distance steer N.W. for 15 miles, when a sand bank surrounded by a reef should be seen, and also Arnold's Bushy Island, in 11 deg. S. on the larboard bow. Three sand-banks, surrounded by small reefs bear E. by N. 10 miles from Arnold's Bushy Island. The bottom now changes to mud, and the ground becomes clear of sunken dangers. Mount Adolphus Island (flat-topped) will lie seen bearing N.W. 35 miles, and a course may be steered for Cape York, passing between the reef Z of Captain King's track and some reefs to the northward, in a clear channel of four miles in width. A ship passing in by Pandora's Entrance, in lat. 11 26 40 S. (a good and safe passage of two miles in width), should steer for a vegetated sand-bank in lat. 11 19 30 S. ; whence a N.W. course of 48 miles will take her to Arnold's Bushy Island, when the middle track will be joined. Good anchorage may be obtained in seven fathoms (fine coral sand), under the southern Sir C. Hardy's Island. The channel between the two large islands is perfectly clear, and rounding the north end of the south island in seven kr eight fathoms, at the distance of a cable and a half, a good berth may be obtained off a sandy bay just round the bluff head of the island. Lat. of Observation Bay, 11 55 10 S, Long. 143 33 18 E. Variation 3 10 E. High water at full and change, 9h. 15m. a.m. Greatest rise, eight feet. Fresh water may be obtained here from May till August, but after that time the springs are dry. When leaving the Hai dy's Isles with the intention of passing into the main land by the Cockburn Reef, steer a N.E. by N. course for four miles, by which means the dangers of Pollard's Channel will be avoided. In the month of September her Majesty's ship Fly watered in a sandy bay about half a mile to the eastward of Cape York ; wells were dug, and the water was good and abun dant. The bay may he known by a little low rock about three or four feet above the water at its entrance. It may be advisable here to mention, that in steering for Raine's Island, care should be taken not to haul in for the reefs until well to the northward of 13 30 south lat., a reef having been discovered this past season by the Osprey schooner, in lat. 14 south, and 146 20 east long. This reef having been seen by two different ships, and both vessels possessing good chronometers, the above position cannot be far from the truth. See Government Gazette, 1845, No. 8, p. 97, where sailing directions have been given to avoid the Osprey Reef. It is there described to be in lat. 13 57, and long. 146 34 east, differing about of long. from Captain Blackwood's above more recent report. The Alert or Lihou Reefs should also have a good berth given to them of at least a degree of long., the current ap pearing to set very strong to the N.W. in the neighbourhood at certain seasons. N.B.—The courses above given are those by compass. F. F. BLACKWOOD, Captain R.N. SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENDEAVOUR STRAIT. N.B.—The soundings are reduced to the lowest spring-tide level, and the bearings are magnetic. The variation is about four degrees easterly, Vessels entering from the south-eastward, and drawing about 15 feet water, should, after having passed through the strait between the Brothers and Albany Isles, keep a good look out for a rock situated nearly in the midchannel be tween Mount Adolphus and Cape York. This; rock is laid down in the Admirality chart by Capt. King; it has since been examined by an officer in her Majesty's ship Fly, who found only four fathoms on it; which being reduced to the low water level, would be barely three fathoms; there is deep water around it. Having passed this danger, a direct course may be shaped for Endeavour Straits, which can be entered by three dif ferent openings, the shoalest water four and a half fathoms. Of the three passages I consider that to the westward the best, it being twice the breadth of either of the others, and the soundings from nine to ten fathoms sand. To go through this opening a vessel must pass to the west ward of all the • Possession Group ; the two western most being close together and thickly covered with wood. Having passed between these and a high rugged island to the westward, S.W. by W., will be the course towards Wallis Wes. Pass about two miles to the northward of the northernmost of Red Wallis Isle.—(The leading mark for the channel is Cape Cornwall on the compass bearing N. 74 E, when, if the weather be clear, it will be on with the Peaked Hill, on the mainland, near Possession Group.) When abreast of it at that distance, the course will be W. S. eight miles, or until Booby Island bears N. /E. Care must be taken not to keep to the southward of this course, as a very narrow sand-band extends from the Red Wallis Island due west for six miles, having two small and shoal patches upon it, one with 2i fathoms, bearing N. 34 W. four miles; and the other at the western extremity, bearing N 87/ W. from the Red Wallis. The channel here is the nar rowest part of the passage, and is two miles broad,' the depth being'sufficient for the largest ships, with the excep tion of a small sandy knoll, on which I sounded in three fathoms; this patch lies seven and a half miles N. 79 W. from the Red Wallis. To the north of this patch the pas sage is nearly one and a half miles wide, with six fathoms in midchannel. A vessel having proceeded so far west as to bring Booby Island to bear N. i f E., I conceive she will then have passed through the strait. and may shape a course northward and westward, according to her destination. That portion of the strait between Possession Group and Wallis Isles is quite clear of shoal water, having a uniform depth of seven fathoms and upwards. The spring tides between the Possession Isles sometimes run five knots per hour, the ebb N.N.E. five hours, and the flood S.S.W. sever. hours. High water at full and change at one o'clock. Rise and fall nine feet six inches. CHARLES B. YULE, Lieutenant, R.N., Commanding her Majesty's ship Billable.
