Few are prepared for a general election, and yet the on dit is, that the present Parliament is not to meet again, consequently a few who think they are alone n the secret, are quietly, bu , very earnestly, canvassing their constituents, in a friendly way, not as it they were in any alarm about their seats, but simply exhibiting an officious attention, as if they were desirous of serving all the people they call upon in the metropolis—one name absorbs ad the interest —not exactly for a seat in Parliament, because their ambition has always pointed to another office. But if the whole population of the metropolis were polled to-morrow, Messrs E. MOSES and SON would be voted the cheapest, the best, the most extensive Clothiers, and the greatest benefactors in the kingdom to all classes. In the field they choose to o .cupy, they were reformers. Through their exertions, and the employment of their talent and capital, the price of Clothing, which was a complete bar to the well dressing of all persons of limited income, was reduced one-half, whiqh brought it within the means of even the humble classes, who can how dress respectably out of busieess, and creditably in it ; for they not only procure things cheap, hut durable; in fact, Messrs. E. Moses and Son have so completely laid them selves out with their immense staff of the first designers, fitters, cutters, and workmen in Europe, for the supply of rich and poor, exalted and humble, fashionable and plain, that they are not men for a class, but men of the people. By employing a capital that would buy up the productions of half the factories, they command the markets, and the public; have the benefit of their cheap pur chases, for their profit has always been uniformly small, because they have preferred to sell a hundred suits t o an y bod y else's one, and gain by numbers what others unfairly gain by exorbitant profits. Messrs. E. Moses and Son have every garmen • made of the best material of the kind—they mark every article with their unvarying pa ce, in figures which everybody can understand ; and if any one shouVi. feel dissatisfied after purchasing, they receive back the article and return the money.

Or SMOKING IN BED.-DISTRESSING 1 FATAL-ay.—About midnight on Tuesday, information reached the Town's-yard that a cottage dwelling in Davis street, Chorlton-upon-bledlock, was on fire, when Mr. Rose hastened to the spot with an engine and body of firemen. On his arrival 'he flames ha d been extinguished by the neighbours and po.'ice, but, melancholy to relate a life had been lost. It seemed that a man named John Lee, the oc cupant of one room of the ground floor (the house being let to different lodgers) haJ returned home from the regatta about eleven o'clock that t vening, in a state of intoxication, and haying, as is supposed, ,i;ommenced smoking in bed., as was his custom, he had set iLre to the bed clothes. His screams first gave the alarm, and when the neighbours found him all his dress was in flames. He was got out of the room as quickly as possible, but expired immediately. The damage done by fir e was f rom 15/. t o 20: On Wednesday an inquest was held o n th e b o d y by M. r Serford, coroner, when a verdict of " A cc id ent al D ea th" w 1,4 recorded.— , _Blanchester Courier.

The Earl of Clarendon bad an interview with Lord I Sohn Russell yesterday. LECTURE ON THE CURRENCY. (From the Liverpool courier.) On the evening of the sth instant, Jonathan Dun can, Esq., delivered a lecture at the Concert Hall, on this subject, before a numerous and attentive audience ; the chair was taken by James Har vey, Eeq. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing Mr. Duncan, said that the truth and righteousness of the subject would be made apparent to them all. Mr. DUNCAN, after explaining the law in reference to our geld coins, which were no longer legal tender if wanting a grain in weight, said this principle was abandoned in regard to our silver ccies, which passed current for ten per cent more than their market value. Thus theories differed, and pure bullionism contra dicted itself in practice, as it dealt differently with gold and silver.—(Rear, hear.) They who insisted on the representative character of money were ac cused of wishing to imitate the assignats of revo lutionary France. This charge was truly prepos terous, for, as assignats proved a most miserable failure, he who proposed to revive them would be justly deemed worthy of a lunatic asylum. Tnis was one of the calumnies that refuted themselves. To argue from the abuses of a system against its uses was the mean retreat of those who were incapable of reasoning, and who slandered op ponents whom they were unable to refute.—(Cheers.) Let them turn from France to Scotland, and ask what instrument built Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen ? What reclaimed a sterile soil, and made the Lothians and the Carse of Gowrie models of agricultural improvement ? What widened and deepened the Clyde from Dumbarton to the Broomie law ? The answer would be a representative paper money..—(Hear, and applause.) From the first es tablishment of banking in Scotland, in 1694 to 1845, when Sir Robert Peel introduced metallic money, the monetary instrument was paper, and the total loss to the public during a century and a half did not exceed thirty thousand pounds for the whole of that long period, while during the few weeks he had been in Liverpool failures to at least five-fold that amount had occurred with metallic money.— (Hear, hear.) Turning to America, when it was a colony of Great Britain, how, he would ask, was its land first cultivated ? David Hume, in his corre spondence with the Abbe Morellet of Paris, stated that every planter was allowed to go to a Go vernment office and receive paper money to the ex tent of one-half the value of his land ; and this advance he was required to pay in annual instalments, each instalment being one-tenth of the advance ; so that the whole was liquidated in ten years. It was plain that the industry of the cultivator was always adding to the value of the security. But had he been re stricted to golden ploughs, the earth must have re mained in a state of nature ; had he been restricted to golden axes the primmval forests never would have been felled. America must have remained a howling wilderness, had the colony been ruled by bullionist legislation.—(Loud cheers.) What led to the war of American independence? That act of the British Government, which commanded the colonists to pay their taxes in gold and silver, and at the same time withdrew those paper facilities for cultivating the soil to which allusion had been made. What won their independence ? Paper money, which Dr. Franklin, writing in 1764, declared to be the best of all mone tary instruments, " when founded on sufficient taxes for discharging em, or on land security of double the value for repaying it at the end of the term, and in the meantime made a general legal tender." What enabled Great Britain to preserve herself from being conquered by Napoleon ? W hat enabled the allied sovereigns to fight the battle of Leipsic ? Paper-money—guaranteed by Russia, Prussia, and England. These examples were sufficient to silence the ignorant chattering about assignats. What opi nion would be formed of a logician, who, observing that leaky vessels foundered at sea, asserted that no ship could be made trustworthy, and then prohibited navigation ? Yet he would not be a whit more ab surd than they who affirmed that because a bad paper-money might be issued, a safe one could never be created. Taxes formed the basis of national state money. The amount was annually voted by Parlia ment, and established the limit. To the extent of that amount the executive Government should be em powered to issue notes, which would derive their value from the authority of the State that put them in cir culation. With these the Government would pay its own debts, the army, navy, ordnance, civil service, and the dividends of the fundholders. These notes, not possessing intrinsic value, would never be ex ported, for they would not pay taxes due to any foreign potentate, though they would discharge taxes due to our own Government. They never could de teriorate in value, as Government would be obliged to take them becl: in discharge for taxes for the seine nominal amount at which they were originally issued, nor could they deteriorate through excess, since their amount would be rigidly fixed by a solemn vote of the Legislature. These proper instruments would par take very much of the character of a post-office stamp, which had no intrinsic value; nevertheless a revenue was raised on them equal to two millions sterling. The principle was therefore established, and it would be just as easy to raise fifty millions in Government taxation notes.—(Hear.) But it might be objected that there was a detect in this illustration, because he who holds a post-office stamp must have given a cop per penny for it. The penny simply intervened between the act of labour and the possession of the stamp, but it formed no part of the effective operation, for the labourer might have received his wages in the post-office instrument and had been just as well paid. In like manner, no one could possess himself of Government taxation notes unless he had given his labour, or the produce of his labour in ex change for them. Let this system be compared with the existing one. When Government required money it proceeded to manufacture Exchequer-bills of too large an amount to pass into trading circulation. Those bore interest which was paid out of taxes. The Exchequer-bills were lodged with the Bank of England, as a national security, and on the strength of them the Bank issued its own notes to the value of the Exchequer-bills. Why not save this interest ? If the Government credit were good for an Exche quer. bill of one thousand pounds, why should it not be good for a thousand notes of twenty shillings each? —(Hear, hear.) On what did the credit rest ? On the whole amount of the national property, computed at six millions sterling, and all the gold and silver would be as fully responsible for the notes as they were now. Many were alarmed by the bugbear of depreciation, and it was desirable that this fallacy should be refuted. During the late war, the paper pound was enfeebled in purchasing power, and this was practically expressed in the universal rise in the price of all commodities—a rise caused by increased taxation and the addition of five hundred millions to the national debt. The depreciation of the pound was solely the effect of taxation, which raised the prices of commodities, on an average of eighty- eight principle articles, from 1001. to 175/.—(Hear, hear.) Here rose the discussion between direct and indirect taxation, at fifty millions, when the tax became one eighth of the income. The eighth part of a pound was 2s. 61. If, therefore, the revenue was raised by a direct tax, half-a-crown would be taken from every man for every pound he held, and he would only remain possessed of 17e. 64. This would leave him, in one sense, a depreciated, but not a deteriorated pound, since the pound would have been excised by taxa tion, which had cut off one-eighth of its original value. Now, substituting indirect for direct taxa tion, the pound would sink 121 per cent. in its pur chasing power, or 2s. 61 out of every 2.05. ; but this was not a deteriorated power. The indirect tax Was first put on the industrious classes, in the shape chiefly of customs and excise, but when the mode of raising revenue was thus changed, it was never intended to commit a fraud, and transfer the burden from property to labour. Yet this must prove the inevitable result, unless the industrious classes were enabled to recover from the buyers of goods that tax which the industrious classes had advanced to the Government. But they could only recover it by a rise of prices, and no rise would take place in gold money tied down to the ba r t er level, for, being so tie d down, it could not bea W m e a su re of the taxation level. hen, then, a revenue was raised indir w ectly, the tax must be expressed iu paper money, hich decline in purchasing power in exact proportion to the tax im posed. Toe paper did not cause the rise of price, it only pereoweel it ; the cause was indirect taxation. To levy indirect taxes on labour and complain that money was depreciated, was really to affirm that property ought to be wholly exempt from any fiscal burden whatever.—(Cheers.) The evil of gold money becomes the more cruel when it was consie tiered in conjunction with the modern system of free imports, strangely mistaken for free trade. If the intrinsic value of a commodity were four pounds, and the indirect nix two pounds, its price ooglit to be six pounds. Admit the foreign into free competition with our selves ; he Inq be content with l ess th an six pounds, in which case the home price must fall, to the detriment of native industry ; it might fall to four pounds, in which case the tax of two pounds re biained permanently on the native producer, who could never recover it from the consumer, who would buy in the c h ea pest market. But pap e r money cor- reefed this evil in the following manner :—The paper pound depreciating through taxation, six of such pounds would no longer purchase an ounce and a half of gold, but only one ounce, as two pounds would be due to taxation. This was the protection which a national money would afford to industry. Mr. Dun can then gave a rapid review of our monetary system fr0m1797 to the panic of 1847, in which he combated the vulgarerror which attributed prosperity to the late war, showing that the prosperity was entirely due to paper money. In support of this view he quoted some passages from the letter of Mathias Attwood to Lord Archibald Hamilton, printed in 1823, and reprinted in 18.7, which demonstrated that the country was at the height of prosperity in 1818, when we were at passe with all the world. This was proved by the evidence of Mr. Hodgson, a merchant of Liverpool, who was examined before the Agricultural Committee of 1821, his testimony applying to the great towns of Liver pool, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, and Leeds. Wheat was in 1818, 84s. per quarter, and meat pro portionately dear, yet there was more meat consumed in 1818 than in 1821, when prices had fallen one-half. Mr. Tindall, Mr. Tooke, and Mr. Marryatt all de posed to the prosperity of shipping in 1818, and to its decline after cash payments were resumed in 1819. This last gentleman stated that the Sesostris, which cost 12,1751. in 1818, was sold in 1820 for 6,300/. ; and he gave numerous other instances, all display ing the fallacy of cheapness. Mr. Duncan then ex plained the principle of commercial money as dis tinguished from national state money, basing it on the letter of the first Sir Robert Peel addressed to both Houses of Parliament in 1826, and on the New York Banking Act of 1838. The notes issued by these security banks could not be tortured into the most remote similarity to assignats, for they would really repose on a guarantee even more solid than the national debt. As an illustration of what might be effected with paper money, Mr. Duncan explained the manner in which a market was built in Guernsey, without its having cost a single farthing, though ever since its completion it had yielded an in come of 4001. This plan ;might be applied to rail ways and to the Rivington Pike scheme of supplying Liverpool with water. The lecturer then contrasted the monetary system he had recommended with the practical working of bullionism from 1819 to 1847, referring to the numerous panics that had occurred, causing in the aggregate a loss of national wealth, exceeding in the aggregate double the amount of the national debt. This was entirely caused by the law which arbitrarily fixed the price of the ounce of gold in our coinage, so that when our goods were increased in price by taxation being added to intrinsic value, they became dearer than untaxed gold, and of course the foreigner refused to take our goods, but abstracted our legal tender. The next subject examined was the theory of the balance of trade, which, it was con tended, erroneously assumed a balance of profit. Thus if, in a given period, we sent goods to France valued at one hundred pounds, or twenty-five ounces of gold, and France sent us goods valued at 801., or twenty ounces of gold, there was a balance due to us of 201., or five ounces of gold. But this was not a balance of profit, as we only received back, at a postponed date what we had previously advanced. Connected with this point was the fallacy of viewing an excess of exports over imports as a sign of pros perity. All trade resolved itself into barter, and barter was the exchange of equivalents. The value of ex ports and imports, therefore, must necessarily resolve itself into perfect equivalency, as no nation could over reach any other nation. It might be asked, how could our foreign trade be conducted with a paper money, not possessing any intrinsic value, but deriving its conventional value from the authority of the state that put it into circulation ; for such money was, and must be, valueless to the foreigner. This difficulty was only apparent, not real. The foreigner cared nothing for denominations of money ; he merely calculated how much gold of standard purity he should receive for his goods, and he had no concern with the monetary instrument we might use among ourselves for car rying on our internal trade. Let it be assumed, then, as an extreme case, that our paper pound, nominally passing among ourselves for twenty shillings, was only worth ten shillings in silver, or two and a half pennyweights of gold. Under these circumstances, the foreigner requiring 25 ounces of gold in payment of his goods, would not draw a bill on the British consignee for 1001., but for 2001., estimated in our national money ; and thus he would obtain the 25 ounces of gold to which he was entitled. It was clear, then, that the system proposed would not affect the foreigner in the slightest degree.—(Cheers.) But, it might be asked, bow would it fare with the British manufacturer ? Let it be assumed that be produces goods ter export which he values at 30,000/. in our national currency. When he sent these goods to llamburgh, he would not realise for them 7,500 ounces of gold, as he did under bullionism, but only 5,000 ounces ; but when he brought those 5,000 ounces into England he would sell them at the Bank for 30,0001. in national money, and thus his position was entirely uninjured.—(Cries of Hear, bear.") The only class of persons who would suffer by this system were absentees. Suppose that one of this class received an income from the public funds of 1,0001. per year. For this, his banker remitted him a bill on Naples, with which he could purchase 250 ounces of gold, and he thus escaped all taxation ; but assuming that his fair share of tax, as a man of property, was twenty per cent., then for his 1,000/. in national money, his banker would only re mit him 200 ounces of gold, and 50 ounces, or 2001. would remain here as his contribution to the public revenue. Another fallacy which greatly misled the mercantile community was based upon the apparent plenty of money. At the present time the Bank of England had nearly nine millions of unemployed notes, which they would gladly lend at a low rate of interest, and the private bankers and bill-brokers were in a similar position. Hence money was said to be plentiful ; but this state resembled the congestion of blood in the head, which is never taken for a symp tom of health, but of approaching apoplexy. Sir Robert Peel, referring to the high rate of in terest which the merchants had to pay during the year 1847, justified usury, asking why a man was not entitled to receive as large a profit for the loan of money when it was scarce, as, another man might make of cotton or corn, or any other commodity, when they were scarce. The answer was that money did not resemble any other commodity, for there was no law which limited the quantity of corn or cotton, but there was a law which limited the quantity of money. The parallel, therefore, was false, as well as the inference deduced from it. Usurious interest was charged, not for the legitimate use of money, but for its artificial scarcity—a scarcity solely caused by bullionist legislation. What shall we say to a system which periodically ruined the merchant, when the interest of money rose above five per cent., and tolerated a system of pawn broking which legalised at all times and under all circumstances a rate of 20 per cent., extorted from the poorest classes of society ; and what spectacle more strongly condemned the existing system than that exhibited in the windows of a pawnbroker's shop of the tools with which alone a ewe-king man could earn his wages?--(Hear.) There was a clause in Magna Charts which even considered the state of the serfs, who were not allowed to be fined to such an extent as would deprive them of the implements of their industry.—(Cheers.) To illustrate the ab surdity of fabricating legal tender out of a commo dity possessing intrinsic value reference was made to the copper coinage of 1797. At that time each penny weighed an ounce, or sixteen to the pound avoirdu pois; but in consequence of the demand for copper, its price in the market as a commodity rose to twenty pence, and the consequence was, that all the penny pieces were melted and disappeared from circulation. It was this circumstance which induced the Legisla ture to fix the price of gold in our coinage in the Act of 1819, and make the note always convertible into 133 grains of the metal, whether the metal was scarce or abundant. When the gold rose above the Mint price, that rise was expressed in the rise of the rate of interest, and in this cruel manner all other pro perty was necessarily depreciated.—(Hear.) Mr. Duncan then referred to the fallacies of over-produc tion, over-trading, over-population, which, he as serted, were phrases invented to conceal the real under-production of money. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to Mr. Duncan and the chairman, and the meeting broke up at half.past ten o'clock. MONETARY REFORM AT LIVERPOOL. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) We should be content to allow the Liverpool mer chants to proceed, for the present, with the considera tion and examination of the currency question in their own way, did not the admirable exposition of the subject by Mr. Duncan, which we give in the Courier of to-day, seem to demand a particular notice. Our readers will find in this lecture no admixture of party politics, or advocacy of class interests. It places th e monetary question, as we wish it to be placed, entirely on its own merits. And Mr. Duncan supports his opinions by an appeal to undoubted f ac t s , an d sound argum ents.

We call into court a witness of no ordinary character—Sir Walter Scott. After declaring that paper money " has so completely expelled gold from the country of Scotland, that you never by any chance espy a guinea there, unless in the purse of an accidental stranger, or in the coffers of the banks themselves," he goes on to say that, "through means of the credit which this system has afforded, roads have been made, bridges built, and canals dug, opening up to recipro cal communication the most sequestered districts of the co untry — manufactures have been established, unequalled in extent or success ; wastes have been converted into productive farms ; the productions cf the earth for human use have been multiplied twenty fold, while the wealth of the rich and the comforts of the poor have been extended in the same proportion." Such is the testimony of this singularly sagacious and clear-sighted man ; one who loved his country with all the devotion of genius, who felt the responsibility of the part be was taking in advocating a representa tive system of paper money, and who in so doing placed himself in direct opposition to his political associates and to his best and oldest friends. As to the fact of the advantage of a good paper money system in America, we call as witnesses Benjamin Franklin and David Hume. Are these men likely to be de luded by currency crotchets ? The former, Franklin, has written philosophically and practic ally on the uses po rt n o gf the ep systemape r o f currency , pepe r money and his was mot ivehis f n o v r ic s t u i that it was indis s ol u bly u n ited with the prosperity of his country. W e w ill no t f o ll ow Mr. Duncan through the argumentative and l u cid statement in which he disclosed the fallacies of th e ad v ocates of Sir Robert Peel's system, and fully explain e d the advantages of a coon sound system of paper currency convertible into gold at the market price. We -may,- however,.:;natice his" allusion to what is commonly used as an argunient against the necessity of a more adequate circulating medium, viz., the apparent plentiful ness of money in this country. "At the present time,' said Mr. Duncan, " the Bank of England had nearly nine millions of unem ployed notes which they would gladly lend at a low rate of interest, and the private bankers and bill brokers were in a similar position. Hence money was said to be plentiful ; but," he further ob served, " the plenty of money, which indicated a healthy state of trade, only existed when the money flowed freely into the tills of the shopkeepers and the pockets of the working classes, denoting high profits and high wages." The fact is, money is then only dis charging its proper function when it is circulating from hand to hand, facilitating barter, and expediting the exchange of one commodity for another, and ef fecting, above all, that great and important exchange, the exchange of the poor man's labour for food, clothes, and lodging. The effect of the existing monetary system is that we live in a state of modified panic. The Bank is afraid of letting out its notes for more than a short period, for if a little gold is withdrawn from the country there may be a sudden demand on its resources ; the private bankers are afraid in like manner to discount or lend money for more than temporary purposes ; merchants and ma nufacturers all live in daily dread of some " mone tary pressure,"—and the ill effects of this system, as a matter of course, extend to every artisan and working man in the country. We ask the merchants of Li verpool whether they are willing that this state of things should be permanent ? Or if they think the advocates of a reform of the monetary system wrong, are they prepared to find men to accept Mr. Dun can's challenge ? Can they find three bullionists to come forward, and publicly, deliberately, and philo sophically discuss the subject of the currency ? NAVAL INTELLIGENCE; APPOINTMENTS.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 19.—0 n the late visitation of the Admiralty to the dockyard they maturely consi dered the fittings of cabins on the several decks of ships, with the view to keep as many as possible of the guns clear, without disturbing bulkheads. Under the poop in line-of-battle ships there will in future be only one gun of a side within the cabins; accommo dation is afforded for only the captain and secretary. The captain has a midship cabin, and one on the port quarter, for sleeping ; and the secretary has a narrow cabin on the starboard side. The offices fur the secretary are now to be placed amidships, so as not at all to interfere with the guns. In three decked ships the admiral's apartments are—one large cabin about twenty-three or twenty-four feet in length, and reaching across the ship, and one midship and two side cabins aft. On the upper deck, upon which the admiral's cabins are placed, there are only two guns on a side within the bulkheads, and these are not in the least encumbered. The admiral's steward's berth and pantry are placed amidships, so that there are no fittings at the sides of the ship. On the middle deck, upon which the ward-room is placed, there are to be only two cabins—one for the master on the port side, and one for the commander on the starboard side ; these clear all the guns except the after gun on each side, so that upon this deck all the guns except two are free from obstruction. The ward-room steward's pantry is also placed amidships, so as to keep the sides entirely clear from obstruction. Oa the gun deck only one gun on each side is within the gun-room or midshipmen's mess-room. The midshipmen's steward's pantry likewise is to be amid ' ships, so as to present no obstruction to the use of the armament. In a three-decked ship there will, there fore, be only twelve guns with which the bulkheads will at all interfere ; and these bulkheads are made to slide, so that all obstructions may be removed in less than two minutes. The other officers for whom ac commodation has not been provided for as above will be placed on the orlop deck. The same principle is, we understand, to be applied in the fitting of all two and three-decked ships as they are brought forward. — Herald. The Myrmidon steamer, Lieutenant-Commander Joliffe, sailed for Devonport on Monday. The Vengeance received about 130 seamen from Plymouth on Sunday, she is now about 200 short, and it is expected thatiiearlthat number will be entered at Plymouth for her. She is to be ready for sea on the 31st instant. The Vulcan troop-steamer has come alongside the jetty. She is to be docked and refitted, and have her channels widened to enable her to carry more sail. Her bottom is foul, and it made a great difference in her rate of sailing. She brought home about 40 tons of coal, which her commander reserved for the pur pose of using, if required, in the Channel. The leak spoken of is a very trifling affair, being simply from the packing of the shaft of the screw propeller. The Admiral Superintendent Prescott, accompanied by the master shipwright, Mr. Fincham, and Com mander Mathias, of the Britannia (Captain Yates being ill), commenced their annual inspection of the ships in ordinary on Monday morning, and it is ex pected it will be completed on Wednesday evening. The Fairy steam-yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, embarked his Royal Highness the Prince Consort at Cowes this morning, and conveyed him to this port. His Royal Highness landed at Gosport soon after nine o'clock, and was received in the Clarence Victualling-yard by Mr. R. Willoughby Stevens, of the South-Western Railway Company. As his Royal Highness's trip was quite private none of the dignitaries of the port or garrison, or guard of honour, were present. The Prince, attended by Col. the Hon. A. Gordon, left the Clarence-yard in a special train, in charge of Mr. Beattie, chief engineer, and Mr. Godson, superintendent of the South- Western Railway, at five minutes past nine this morn ing for London, and returned at about half-past six this evening in the same private manner, when the Fairy re-embarked him for Osborne. The Marlborough Indiaman arrived at Spithead yesterday from the Thames to embark passengers for Madras. The Pique, 40, was temporarily commissioned here this morning by Mr. Joseph R.

OFFICIAL VISIT OF TUB ADMIRALTY. DEVONPORT, MO , NDAY : —A Board o f Admiralty, consisting of Sir .erancis T. Baring (First Lord), Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C apta i n Alexan d er Milne, and the Hon. W. Cowper, together with Cap tain W. A. B. Hamilton, second secretary to the board, and Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, - surveyor of the navy, arrived about eight o'clock this morning in the Black Eagle. Admiralty yacht. The board left Portsmouth on Friday for Portland, where they in spected the breakwater, leaving the following morn ing for Dartmouth, which they reached on Saturday evening, remaining in the harbour during the whole of Sund a y, a n d u nt il f o ur o'clock this morning, wilts% they left for this port, reraciting the Sound as above stated. We regret to find that, while at Dartmouth, Ad miral Dandas and Captain Milne were both taken ii), and were obliged to have recourse to medical aid. On reaching this port, the gallant admiral was suf ficiently recovered to be able to join his colleagues in their official duties ; but Captain Milne was too ill to leave the yacht, and medir;al assistance was immedi ately procured. At ten o'clock the board, with the exception of Captain Milne, landed at the dockyard, where they were joined by Captaid Eden, private secretary to the First Lord, and Colonel Green, director of works, who arrived at Moorsheed's Hotel on Sunday evening, having come from Pc rts,mouth by railway. The whole party were rec,3ived by J. E. Miles, Esq., master attendant and te:tting superintendent ; George Turner, Esq., m as ter slaipwright ; William Baldock, Esq., st ' orekeep er ; Charles Atherton, Esq , chief en gineer ; Lieutenant Colonel Williams, officer of Royal Engineers in charge of works, and other principal officers of the dockyard Captain Superintendent Lich, Royal William Victualling-yard ; Captain Nias, St. George ; Captain Lowe, lopregnabla and a retinue of naval officers of all grades. Their Lordships" first proceed e d to the com modore's office, and having attended to some official business went thence through the ropery, along the new ground to the building -slips, minutely inspecting the Narcissus, 50, Phoeb e , 50, E.xmoutb, 90, and Algiers, 9 0 , which are in differet stages of advancement. The attention of their L ordships having been called to the progress making in the extension of the shed over the slip in which the keel of the St. Jean d'Acre, 100 guns, screw steam.-ship, has been laid down, they proceeded on to the chain cable stores, and thence to the general stores—mass ing through every compartment, and making the i Post searching inquiries into everything having refere nee to the quantity and condition of the stores. In this their Lordships were a few days previously antici pated by the Earl of Hardwicke, whose tact for re presentation of the state of stores has on other occa sions obtained no little notoriety. The knowledge of the Noble Earl's visit possibly led to more than the usual strictness of inquiry. At one o'clock their Lordships left the yard, pro ceeding to Moorsh ea d' s H otel, returning to the yar d at two o'clock, when the First Lord, Captain Hamil ton, Captain Eden, Sir Baldwin Wallier, Colonel Green, accompanied by Mr. Miles, Mr. .Atherton, and Lieut.-Colonel Williams, embarked in the Commo dore's barge, and proceeded to the new works at Keyham, landing at the new stairs at the river wall ; they proceeded to inspect the caissoon now in course of formation for the communication between the two basins ; thence to the north and middle docks, now completed, and the south dock in course of excavation. Passing by the south boundary wall their Lordship. visited the permanent engine -house, and proceeding thence to the entrance lock, where they inspected the operation of dredging, after which they left the yard, and passed through Monica Town to the hotel. This is understood to be only a preparatory vie it of the board to these important national works, the pro ceeding with which has been deprived of all energy in obedience to the wishes of the false economists in the Commons. There is little doubt that the private yards are realising immense fortunes at the expense of the country, while these end other similar works are at a standstill, and the fortunate individuals receiving golden public favours may well rejoice at the success' of a cry which blinds a party in the Legislature to the real facts of the case which they appear to advo cate. Great attention is paid to direct grants of money for public works, while but little notice is di rected to the fact that, Government not having the power to manufacture for itself, influential parties are reaping the sweets of " large public contracts" at the cost of the nation. At the close of the day's duties their Lordships dined with the port Admiral, Sir John A. Onantanney, and a distingushed patty, at the Admiralty-house, Mount Wise. In the ewning their Lordships were present as patrons of u ball annually given in aid of the funds of the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum, at the Royal Hotel in this borough. We have before spoken of this admirable institution as one deservedly popu lar, and in every way worthy of the patronage thus annually bestowed by their Lordships. The ball room was early crowded with all the elite and fashion of the town and neighbourhood.--Herald. ASCENT OF MONT BLANC. Sia,—May I take the liberty of requesting a little space to record our success in the ascent of Mont Blanc on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 12th and 13th ? I was accompanied by three other gentlemen from Christ Church, and twenty guides. We left Cha mouny at seven o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, and got to our bivouac on the glaciers at the Grands Mulets at four o'clock. Here we made a fire and dined, and at midnight started again with lanterns, as the moon was not up, along the Glacier de Tacconay, reaching the Grand Plateau (where the avalanche swept away Dr. flamers party, in 1820) about four o'clock in the morning. After a great deal of trouble amongst the crevasses, and having at times to cut each footstep in the iee with hatchets, we scaled the Mar de la Cote, and go t to the summit of Mont Blanc at half-past nine o 'clock on Wednesday morn ing, where we remained half-an-hour in the enjoy inent of a perfectly cloudless view. In descending we got back to the Grands Mulets by one o'clock. The most dangerous part of the journey now commenced, as the extreme heat of the day had thawed much of the snow on the Glacier du Bossons, which threatened at every step to give way beneath us. We were, however, all tied together with cords ; but for this one of our party would ha ve been lost. We ultimately arrived in safety at Cha mouny at half-past six o'clock in the evening, where the whole village turned out to meet us, and a little fete was prepared by M. Tairraz, of the Hotel de ' Londres, in honour of our safe return. Guns were fired, and wine distributed, and at night the bridge was illuminated with pine branches. I believe we formed the largest party ever assembled together on the summit ; but the increased number of guides was necessary from the treacherous state of the snow, after the bad weather that has prevailed here lately. I should have liked to have sent you a few details, but I feel some delicacy in intruding on your columns to the extent I have done.
