These officers are thorough practical seamen and skilful navigators, and to amalgamate them with the executive branch of the navy, instead of continuing them as a separate and anomalous class, would tend very materially to benefit the service, taking it either as a whole or in detail. The petition lies for signature at the office of the United Service Gazette. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 26, 1845. THE FUNDS.-(CLOSING PRICES.) PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of ; Sept. 26.) SUGAR.—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco vado Sugar were in excellent request for the use of grocers and refiners; there was more doing for the ontports, and in consequence of the firmness of the merchants, buyers were compelled to pay stiffer rates, so that prices are now the same as they were on Friday last. REFINED.—To-day refined goods were only in brisk re quest by the home trade, brown Lumps at 64s Gd to 65s 6d, and standard Lumps 66s to 675.

In Pouchong there has been a good deal doing at 5d to 10d, according to quality, but cleat sorts from 6d to 9d per lb are the most in esteem. For Twankay the demand is increasing, and prices are rising. For Hyson no further improvement in prices has occurred.

The festival is fixed for Monday next, and the operatives request the favour of a half holiday on that day. We trust that the effect of this meet mg may be to cement the good feeling which now exists be tween masters and men.—Manchester Guardian.

The average sum lost, above two millions and a half sterling. The average of lives lost, the lamentable number of 1,560. The wrecks of fifteen out of every twenty ships are attribut able to some incompetency or other on the part of the master. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. READING AND RETGATE. Giriimono, URSDAY. —On Monday the leading inha bitants of the borough signed a requisition to the Mayor, for a public meeting of the inhabitants, to consider the propriety of promoting the line proposed to be made from Reading to Reigate, passing through: Dorking and Guildford, and with branches to Farnham and Alton, of which Mr. Giles is engineer. The meeting was held yesterday aft'rnoon in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, the Mayor presiding. Mr. F. MANGLES addressed the meeting in favour of Mr. Giles's scheme, which he described as being the best calcu lated to advance the interests of the town and neighbourhood, and consequently the most deserving of support. The pro jectors bad employed Mr. Giles to survey the country to dis cover which would be the best route, because that gentleman had in his previous engagement done what he had promised, namely, given the public the best possible line with the least expense, and had constructed it within the estimates. He concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the meeting pledged itself to support Mr. Giles's Company as being the most likely to carry a line from Reading to Reigate into execution. Mr. CIIF2iNELL wished to know what was the route in tended to be taken through the town by the rival schemes? He understood that one talked of passing by the eastern side. Mr. MANGLES replied that the South-Western Company were going to tunnel through the shoulder of the hill at the bottom of the town, and that advantage would be taken of that to get through from the north to the east side of the town. The CHAIRMAN said that he had seen the plan by the other party, but it was but a rough sketch. In it the line was to pass the north side of the town. Mr. MAnssiku, said, that to get through the hills at the east end of the town would cost snore money than thewhole of the rest of the line. Mr. CIIENNELL thought they ought to have another meet ing, and know for a certainty through what parts of the town the lines would pass. They had no person to tell them anything about the other line, and it would be ridiculous to pledge themselves without really knowing what they were doing. Mr. PRICE entered into similar arguments at some length. . . Mr MARSHALL contended that they ought to come to an immediate decision as to the merits of the plan, for if they de layed the question, another railway from Reading to Reigate, leaving Guildford out altogether, might get such a start as would render it a struggle whether Guildford were to have the advantage of a communication east and west at all. The resolution was seconded. and having been put by the Mayor, every hand in the room but two or three was held up m its favour. A resolution was next passed that petitions should be got' up in its favour, and that the representatives of the borough be requested to support the one addressed to the House of Commons. TIIE WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE.—PONTE FRACT, THURSDAY.—The first general meeting of the pro prietors of this railway was held yesterday, in the Town-hall, Pontefract. The chair was taken by Dr. Buchanan, the chairman of the company, who called upon the :Yecretary to read the report, which stated that the shares for the Methley extension would be 25/. each, in the proportion of one for every original 50/. share; that the new stock for the Great Grimsby and Sheffield and Wakefield, and Pontefract and Goole Junction is to be raised in the proportion of two-thirds by the Grimsby, and one-third by the Wakefield and Goole Company, the latter in shares of 201. each, in the proportion of one for every original share, which will be issued without delay. The contracts were within the Parliamentary esti mates, and the works are proceeding satisfactorily. Reso lutions, apportioning a salary of 2001. a year to the secretary, 7501. to the Directors; also 50 new 25/. shares as a gift to the secretary for his valuable services, and 25 to each of the six Directors. A procession was formed after the meeting, which was headed by R. R. Dlilnes, Esq., the father of Monckton Milnes, M.P., the poet, who raised the first sod in a field at Tanhelf, near the Castleford-road. A great number of the promoters of the line afterwards sat down to dinner at the Town-hall. No fewer than four lines are in the field for carrying out a communication between Holyhead, Port Dynullaen, and Dublin. The Directors of the South Devon promise their support to a line from Ashburton to Newton. Special trains since the opening of the line to Scarborough have been running with frequency from Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Sunderland, and York. The Gloucester and Dean Forest contemplate, in conjunc tion with the Great Western, opening up, to the fullest extent, to the colliery owners, the resources of the Forest of Dean. The works on the Southampton and Dorchester have, we understand, been commenced between Southampton and Redbridge. Railways are beginning to be looked upon as measures of self-defence. Lines are, consequently, projected from Houn slow, Barnet, and other places ; and Royston, for the same reason, now proposes to unite itself by railway with Ware. The share allotments of the Isle of Wight have been com pleted, and the opposition to the line in Parliament will be entirely a landowners' opposition. A mineral tributary to the South Wales is to be constructed from Rhondda, through the vale of Ely. Pembrokeshire is to be spanned with railways, and amongst others, with a line from Milford to Manchester. The Norwich and Yarmouth have reduced the charge for the use of their telegraph, for dispatching messages between Norwich and Yarmouth, from 4s. 6d. to 2s. 6d. IPSWICH, NORWICH, AND YARMOUTIL—This line, which proposes to carry out what was originally intended by the Eastern Counties, will, with the co-operation of the Norfolk Company, construct their line from Ipswich to Yarmouth, accommodating the populous districts of Suffolk, and running along its east coast. The traffic has been taken between Ipswich and Yarmouth, and is estimated at seven per cent. It will have a first-class station at Yarmouth, which promises, in connexion with various lines that will run into it, to be come the Liverpool of the Eastern Counties.

CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY. Thursday a vast concourse of both classes, patrician and plebeian, took place on the bill of Kilpatrick, near Dounda niel Castle, Innoshannon, to assist at and witness the inte resting ceremony of raising the first sod on the line of the Cork and Bandon Railroad. The pavilion was erected on a large bawn field just above the castle. and affording a pros pect of woods and the windings of the river Bandon, which shows with the finest picturesque effect from this spot. Near the ravilion was a space inclosed with pallisades, in which the Right Honourable the Earl of Bandon, Lieutenant of the County, was to make the initiative in that good work which is to bring comfort into the homes of so many hun dreds of the peasantry, and must result in the bettered con dition of their coming generations, and the general pros perity of the south of Ireland. Notwithstanding the frequency and violence of the showers which fell during the day, crowds of the country people were assembled to watch the proceedings, which came home to their own homes and bosoms Trith such interest. About half-past two o'clock ar rived the carriages of the Earl and Countess of Bandon, Lord and Lady Bernard, the Hon. H. B. Bernard, and Lady Har riet Bernard. Immediately they appeared on the ground, accompanied by the directors, secretary, solicitors, and engi neers of the line, attended by a crowd of ladies and gentle men, and surrounded on all sides by the peasantry. Th e Earl then commenced operations. His implements—made by Mr. Hogg, of Patrick-street—were a bright steel shovel and Pick-axe, the handles of which were covered with morocco. His Lordship took the pick-axe, raised it with much dexterity, and bringing it down, exclaimed with great heartiness, " :73uccess to the Cork and Bandon Railway." The act and the sentiment were alike applauded by the shouts of the dePghted peasantry; again and again repeated as his Lordship shovelled the sod and a quantity of earth into a beautiful mahogany wheelbarrow, with brass wheels, pre sented by Mr. Ilenright, one of the contractors for the line, and then rolled it a few paces along a plank laid for the purpose. The principal personages proceeded to the pavilion, just as a heavy shower was preparing to drench the less pri vileged, who, in spite of the elements, kept their places on the field and round the lofty tent prepared ter the entertainment of their patrons. The pavillion was large, and of excellent accommodation. It was erected by Mr. Parrott, of Bandon, with good taste and effect, and the flags of the two services, and several others, floated from the roof. Within, a dejeuner was admirably prepared by Mr. Lloyd, of Cork, in which the excellence of the viands, confectionery, &c., the rarity and plenty of the wines, and the regularity and order of attendance, could not be exceeded by the means and appliances of a household banquet. Three tables ran along the large tent, the floor of which was boarded. A raised table, under the dais—if we may assume the emblazoned Cork arms over the Earl's chair to be such—accommodated his Lordship and family. At the lower end were the Ban don arms over the head of the Vice-President. The sides of the temporary banquet-hall were covered with evergreens, and pyramids of flowers were placed at intervals along the tables, and the proceedings were enlivened by the music of two amateur bands. With these, the intermixture of the dresses of the lady guests, the open front of the pavilion, and the crowded and curious faces of the weather-beaten pea santry that stood around it, regarding in the most respectful manner the progress of the banquet—all formed a scene of great interest and animation. The demeanour of the country people throughout the day was becomingly peaceful and re spectful ; and all went off to the complete gratification of all parties.—Cork Constitution. KILMARNOCK.—THE WEATHER.—The weather has not improved since last notice—continuing changeable, and the harvest work suffering frequent tantalizing interrup tions. There is a very sensible diminution in the warmth of the day, the winds being chilly, with a tendency to frost in the mornings and evenings. Under these untoward circum stances, reaping, which, with favourable weather, would have been completed, is yet unfinished.—Ayr Observer.
