AUSTRALIAN AFFAIRS• SYDNEY Aug. 11.—The official returns of the acriculturitl produce of the province of New South Wales for 1852 show a considerable decrease in the quantity of land in cultivation, compared with the previous year 1851. The immediate effect of the discovery of gold was to throw out of tillage 21,414 acres, about a seventh of the whole area cultivated. The high price of all kinds of produce and the un certainty of the profits of gold-seeking will gra dually restore things to a healthier state, but not ao rapidly as could be wished. The population increases in a much greater ratio than the home grown supply of provision, and, with a super abundance of land, the colony depends for bread mainly on the importation of flour from America. In 'wheat, barley, maize, oats, hay, in every kind of rural produce, there is a decrease from the quantities raised in 1851, though, under ordinary circumstances, the increasing population would have led to an opposite result. On the other hand, there has been an increase in live stock during the same period • but, from the difficulty of bringing it to the distant markets, the practice of slaughtering cattle to boil down to tallow still continues. This waste of human food on one point. while it commands comparatively a high price at another, will probably longremain one of the anoma lies of this riverless and roadless land. In one direc tion only has there been a slight progress; 36 acres have been added in the past year to the quantity of land cultivated with the vine; there are now nearly 2,000 acres of vineyard in the province, which produced last year about 93,000 gallons of wine. Nothing but the want of labour • prevents the rapid development of this branch of colonial industry. Some of the varieties of wine pro duced are very good, especially those from the red grape; but even in the colony they are scarcely known to commerce. The native wines are only to be seen at the tables of the growers, or a few amateurs, and to procure them some inquiry and private negotiation are necessary. There is no es tablishment in Sydney through which samples of colonial wine could be procured easily by the mass of the public, who appear, indeed, ignorant of the very existence of an article that grows almost at its doors. No attempt has been made to create a taste for it, though the most inferior qualities are pre ferable in every respect to the filthy colonial ale poison, or to the fiery compound; which is absolute sold for brandy and rum, which are very little better. The establishment of a " colonial wine store" has sometimes been faintly talked of, but nothing has been done to open a trade. Our real vineyards are still on the other side of the world. Meetings have been held at all the southern gold fields, to petition for a reduction of the present license-fee from 30s. to 10s. a month. The agita tion against the tax has arisen exactly in proportion with the number of competitors for the prizes of the pursuit. It appears that the gold produced by the Mount Alexander diggings, in the month of July, was scarcely one-half the quantity raised from them in the same month of 1852, though from all the fields the diminution in the present year is not greater than might be expected, consi dering the interruption of work lately by the weather. But the population on the fields has so increased that a much larger yield than that of last year would not give an equal individual profit. The diggers are addressing the Government in forma pauperis, and assert, in the first paragraph of their petition, that "in the present impoverished condition of the goldfields, the impost of 30s. a month is more than they can pay, as the fruit of their labour scarcely affords them the common necessaries of life." This is quite possible, and is, no doubt, the experience of thousands, for the cost of the necessaries of life in the goldfields of Victoria would command most of its luxuries anywhere else. But the assertion that the fields are impoverished is not quite correct, and may mislead ; it is only true of particular localities • the gold region has not yet been explored, mu c h less worked, to a frac tion of its extent, and the diggers' real resource is in the new Bendigos and Ballarats that are yet to be discovered. The mere reduction of the amount of the license-fee, or, as it has been well-named, the price of the ticket for the golden lottery," will not help them much or for any length of time. A further increase of the population on the old area will make it as difficult to pay 10s. a month as it is now to pay 30s. That so many men should cling to an occupation they evidently feel is on the whole un profitable, while manual labour commands such high wages in all parts of the colony, is a strong proof of the peculiar fascination of the pursuit. At the Castlemaine meeting it was stated by one of the speakers that the population of the goldfields is now four times as great as at this time last year, and that the proportionate yield of gold is less than at that period by 33 per cent. ; the chance of an individual digger has therefore sunk in value from about 1/. to 7s. This, as it is a digger's calculation, will be worth the consideration of new arrivals. There is no intelligence of any interest from the northern (or Sydney) fields. Complaints of the floods, the roads, and the delay of the mails, make up the bulk of the news. A correspondent of the Sydney Empire gives an account of the discovery, working, and loss of a very rich vein called the " Golden Gulley," on a portion of the M'lvor field. It disappeared suddenly in a plain, and all efforts to hit it again were unsuccessful. The social effects of this caprice of nature were soon apparent. The party, having "prospected" on all sides of the golden thread without result, returned to the sta tion at M'lvor, and found a considerable change " From a bustling place of 50,000 inhabitants it had dwindled to one-half that number, and, with the de crease of gold, its glory had departed. Crowds of idle, listless men were walking about, seeking excitement in auction-marts, and watching the drilling of cadets. Storekeepers stood at their doors with arms akimbo, and looked weary ; doctors were fain to add to their earnings by keeping little petty stores, and dealing in onions and puddling tubs. Refreshment shops were deserted, and the effervescing lemonade lost its fizzing by mere inanition. Dealers in old tools and cradles were overwhelmed with stock, and yet, with all these signs of a general decay, some infatuated people were putting up fresh stores. As the gold of M'lvor de creased, so did its rascality increase. I have never heard of any diggings where so much petty larceny was car ried on as at M'lvor ; for the first time, I believe, washing dirt was stolen away from the bottom of holes nine and fourteen feet deep, and from alongside the creek where it had been carted to be rocked. Tools and even windlasses were taken away, and nothing, from a frying pan to a cradle was safe. Saddles, pistols, cattle, and tubs were lost every night, and some ingenious scoun drels, fertile in rascally expedients, used to prowl about the tents nightly, get up a sham fight among themselves, and, when the diggers came out of their tents to view the row, some of their outside comrades would steal into the huts and take whatever was most valuable. A little Lynch law, m ildly administered, would doubtless have had an excellent effect in deterring some of these gen tlemen from prosecuting their nocturnal freaks. Police protection was merely nominal—the force was insuffi cient to keep so large a population in order. Bushranging was very common, and this class of offenders when caught experienced very rough usage from their captors, a condemnable practice, and one too common in this country, where officials of a certain class are apt to con found crime with the criminal. Gagging violently, and striking offenders heavily on the head, are not gentle appliances to make a reckless man compunctious. Cer tainly, Wlvor had a scurrilous population, and kept the commissioner and his men pretty busy." The robbery of Castlemaine and Melbourne gold escort has created a deep sensation through out the colony, as no similar deed of violence, so daringly planned and executed, has occurred since the worst period of the old days of the " bush rangers." It has shaken public confidence in the security of this mode of conveying such amounts of treasure. The Sydney Gold Escort Company has thought it prudent to increase its force on the road; and, as this involves expense, it has raised its charge for carriage, and being compelled to make another call on the shareholders. The Government of Victoria has offered a re ward of 5001. for the apprehension of each .of the robbers, or 1,0001. per head, if the whole of them are captured. To any accomplice giving the required information a free pardon will be granted, a free passag e f rom th e co l on y, an d a guarantee o• protection while in it. None of the gang have yet been taken. From the 23d of July to the 11th of Aug., esco rts have brought d own to Sydney, from the New South Wales goldfields, 8,3390 z., value about 30,0001._ The effect of the winter season in diminishing the quantity of gold raised by from the. Victoria. miners is ver y perceptible in the last returns f f or all the The produce of the month of fields is little more than half thaP the m onth last year. On a rough calculation,o"'re popu lation in the goldfields is about 100,000,_ a great increase on the numbers at work last season. The largest amount of gold obtained was raised in the mon th of October, 1852 ; ed and since that period the yield has gradually d e _ creased notwithstanding the augmented popula tion and the greater amount of labour expended by it. The price of gold at Melbourne for shipment is Vs. 6d. an oz., with a short supply. In Sydney, for very fine samples, 78s. 3d. an oz. has been ob- tained: The delegates appointed by the gold diggers to present their petition have had an interview with Mr. Latrobe. His Excellency, in reply to their address, stated that he could not consent to any alteration in tte amount of the license fee, but that he was disposed to consider favourably their representations on the other points referred to in the memorial. On the northern goldfields the fee is paid without difficulty, the diggings being in their infancy. The first electric telegraph on the Australian con- I tinent will be laid down by the Government of Vic toria, which has just called for tenders for con structing a line from Melbourne to William's town, on the shore of the bay. The lost box containing 10,000/, in sovereigns has been recovered from the bed of the Yarra, by means of a diving-bell, and safely conveyed to the Union Bank. An American vessel having arrived from one of the South Sea Islands with the smallpox among the passengers, .some of whom managed to land, war rants were issued for their apprehension, and they were again placed in quarantine. The disease is yet unknown to the colony, but from the large number of immigrants and foreign: ships arriving, it is feared it may at some time be introduced with fatal results, as comparatively few of the whole population have been vaccinated. A bill is about to be introduced making vaccination compulsory. Mr. Thurlow's bill, remodelling the corporation of Sydney, has been rejected by a larg e majority of the Council. The municipal body has fallen into such contempt by its jobbery, squabbling, and neglect of all its duties, that the public would see it superseded by a Government commission with per fect indifference.--Times Sydney Correspondent.

We regret much to have to record a daring attempt to assassinate a high British functionary, in the person of Colonel Mackeson, commissioner of the Peshawur division. It appears that; on the afternoon of Saturday, the 10th inst., as the colonel was sitting in his veran dah, having dismissed his kucheree people, a religious fanatic from goner suddenly rushed in and endeavoured to stab him. Colonel Mackeson, who is a very power ful man, seized the knife, but received such severe in juries in his hand that he was obliged to release his hold, when the villain inflicted a deep wound in the breast of his victim ; and, although the medical attendants hope the lung is not injured, they could not, on the 11th inst., pronounce him out of danger. The miscreant was im mediately arrested, and is in safe custody. He denies having any accomplices ; but, as he expressed to the deputy commissioners his intention of killing both Col. Mackeson and Captain James, in his capacity of a dis ciple of the Akhoon of Swat, strong suspicions are en tertained that he has some, and the most persevering endeavours were being used to trace them. Further particulars are, that the man was seen to spread his cloth close to the verandah and pray ; having done so, he threw his longee over his left shoulder, under which he held the dagger with his right hand. He took up a position amongst the crowd, and, during a slight dust storm, staggered forward as though about to faint, but in reality to disguise his intention. * * * The point of the dagger was turned, evidently as though it had struck a bone, and thus saved the colonel's life. A man of the name of Ata Mahomed, formerly kotwal of Peshawur, rushed to the rescue and received a wound in his stomach ; but the assassin was seized ; none of the chuprasies were armed, or he would pro bably have been cut to pieces on the spot. He came direct from Jellalabad, with the intention of murdering both the commissioner and deputy commissioner, because' he heard from travellers that a mountain train had been organised preparatory to the invasion of Swat, in which country he had many friends ; he said that his heart burnt with indignation at the meditated conquest, and thought the best plan to stay the invasion was to murder the instigators of the intended movement. He is said to be a fine man, evidently of the common class ; he is confined in the quarter-guard of the 28th Native Infantry. He says himself he attendeplkucheree three days. so as to mature his plans. Notwithstanding the severity of his wounds, Colonel Mackeson, on the villain being seized, particularly de sired that he might not be hurt.—Lahore Chronicle, Sept. 14. The colonel has died. This will be, we are sure, a source of great sorrow to our readers, as few political officers were held in such deserved estimation as the gal lant colonel. We have a few words to say on this much to be lamented occurence. It appears from all accounts that " none of the chuprassies were armed, or he, the assassin, would probably have been cut to pieces on the spot." The chuprassies were not armed, we presume, in pur suance of the order directing all persons in the Punjaub to be disarmed- But a greater absurdity can scarcely be conceived that having unarmed chuprassies at a kucheree in the Punjaub. It is a positive premium upon murder, for an armed man who comes with a design to assassi nate, may hope to cut his way, sword in hand, through unarmed men, after having accomplished his design, but he would certainly pause before he went to a kucheree with murderous intentions, if he knew he had to pass through armed men. Another thing we would suggest is, that these assas sins caught in the act should be summarily tried and pun ished at once. The sentence should be carried into effect without delay upon proof of guilt. The tedious process of our courts is quite out of place with reference to atrocious cases of this kind. Within the last few months three public officers in the Punjaub have been attacked by murderous assassins— Mr. Jenkins, Captain James, and Colonel Mackeson. It is time this crime should be put down with a very strong and vigorous hand. The tribes to the north are ferocious, vindictive, inured to blood, and murders from the beginning. Talk of kucheree law for miscreants of this kind —no, a strong rope and the first tree, on which their carcases may swing as food for the region of kites. We are no admirers of General Avitabile, whom, from anecdotes we have heard, we are rather disposed to look upon as a monster in human form ; but his quick, sharp, and summary method of dealing with criminals caught in the act is worthy of imitation, if the British Govern ment wish to give protection to their public servants employed in the Punjaub.—•Mofussilite, Sept. 16. AFFRAY WITH THE ARABS. In the Nizam's dominions a very severe fight has taken place between a detachment of the Hyderabad contingent, under Brigadier Mayne, on the one hand, and a body of Arab disbanded troops, who .had seized upon a fort near Bejapoore, the property of the Rajah of Dewalgaum. The Arabs were beaten, but not before two English officers (Captain Parker, of the Nizam's 6th infantry regiment, and Ensign Bosworth, of the Bombay Native Infantry) and a number of Sepoys were killed. The following account of the affair, from the pen of an eye-witness, appeared in one of the Bombay journals : " AURIINGABAD, Sept. 18.—Mayne received orders from the resident at Hyderabad to take a rajah who de clined to attend to any orders from the Nizam, and this fellow, Bajee Row, had been confined by some Arabs to whom he was said to be indebted for arrears of pay, and they would not give him up. These scoundrels had taken up a position in a mosque and some old buildings near the city walls, and the place filled up in various spots by impenetrable plots of prickly pear. "Mayne made his arrangements as to the force to go out, consisting of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, enough to invest the spot. Young . Bosworth, a nephew of Han cock's and an ensign of the 26th Regiment, was staying with Mayne, and volunteered to go to the fight, and was crazy about it, so he had the command of two companies given to him ; and Remington, another volunteer, acted as aide-de-camp to Mayne. " The force was on the , ground at daylight, when a letter was sent in demanding the rajah—not to be had. After waiting two hours another messenger was dis patched—Mayne being most anxious to avoid bloodshed. His answer was, 'lf you want him you may come for him ; we are quite ready to die.' So at it they went, and, after a touch of the big guns the infantry advanced to do the needful, but met with a warm reception from the enemy. One shot took fatal effect on poor Bosworth; he was struck in the right thigh just below and outside the groin ; the bullet traversed the pelvis and lodged in the left buttock, where the surgeon afterwards found it and took it out, but the poor fellow was dead in five minutes, from external and internal bleeding. A very sad affair indeed. Captain Parker, a local officer, and a very gallant one, was shot through the right lung whilst leading his men on, and he lived about an hour. Cap tain Shakespeare of the cavalry was shot in the right fore arm (slightly), and Dr. Vaughan also wonnde d slightly in the upper right arm. The casualties: amongst the men are 20 killed and 50 wounded. This was a sad spectacle, too, body wounds princi pally ; and considering the Arabs were behind walls, and occupying houses, it is wonderful that mor e were not knocked over. Mayne seemed to lead a charmed life in all parts of the scrimmage led the first storming party, in company with poor Bosworth, Mayne had two horses shot, but not mortally ; the last was shot immediately in front of the saddle flap. so it was too near to be agreeable. I had such a polishing as I never had before on the top of an elephant, for which I was a fool, being a capital mark for the scoundrels ; but I was not molested, and soon dismounted. The rajah was taken alive with three or four others, and it is sup posed that all the Arabs were killed. In two or three instances, when they came out, they fought more like tigers than men, not caring a pin about their lives ; and three of the party rushed on the bayonets of the soldiers and were regularly spitted. Dr. Orr, the surgeon of the contingent, made a gallant charge with some cavalry ; he was carrying a hog-spear as his weapon, with which he transfixed a fellow through the body. These cavalry fellows are splendid troops, and do their work. We came back into cantonments by three o'clock. Bos worth and Parker were buried this morning : it has been a sad business. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT WEDDERBURN BY A. WILD ELEPHANT.—We take the following from the Baigalore Herald :—"lt is with deep regret that we have to an nounce the violent and truly-melancholy death of Lieu tenant D. 0. Wedderburn, of the 37th Grenadiers, which occurred near Tippacardoo, on the. Neilgherries, on the 2d inst. The unfortunate gentleman was on a shooting ex pedition, and whilst at breakfast on 'the above dabs, some 6 his d havinge game a b n u r e n ,' upwards arrived and informed him that they could lead him to an e l ep h ant not far off. He set out with them imme diately, an d t h e animal was soon di scovered on a p l a i n. Mr. Wed expended says our informant, of 2 ' w es s ho a t r s in with edw o i u th t Lagging a rifle, attempted to near the elephant, when it turned upon him, charged, seized him in its trunk, trampled him under foot, gored him fearfully with its tusks, and leaving the unlucky sportsman a corpse, dis appeared in the jungle.' THE DEATH OF LIEUT. CHUTE, OF THE 78TH. We have been favoured with the following particulars of the me lancholy death of Lieutenant Chute, her Majesty's 78th Regiment "M. arrived here on the 15th, having marched from Lees, via the Chumararee Lake, and the Parang La Pass, the Chung River Rock Bridge, and Busahir, in 27 days, including one halt at Cheenee, a feat which I do not think any European has ever per formed before. We met with one of the companions of that poor fellow Chute, who gave us an account of his death. He died of fatigue, in ascending the Parang. La Pass.. He could neither get a pony nor bearers from the ooka, at Beevas, and was consequently obliged to go on foot. The ascent of the pass on the south is very steep, and upwards of four miles, chiefly over loose stones, a, work of no small toil for a man in perfect health and strength. No wonder, then, that an invalid sunk under ' th e exertion . He reached the top, but almost, immediately after fell down senseless. He never spoke afterwards, but lived for four days, and was carried on as far as the Chumararee Lake, on the banks of which lie was buried. The Parang La is 19,000 feet high. I don't know how others feel at such altitudes, but with me the sensations are most unpleasant, sickness, ringing in the ears, and a feeling as if I could not get enough air to breathe. It was quite a relief to 'get"down a few thou sand feet on the other side."—Lahore Chronicle, Sept 3. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. BETTING.- FRIDAY NIGHT.

Lord Glasgow's ch c by Pantaloon, out of Physalis, re ceived forfeit from Lord Clifden's b c Cardinal, by Touchstone, out of Crucifix. Weather very favourable, attendance good, and sport abundant ; in short, a better Houghton Meeting we never remember to have seen. Seahorse's performance proved him to possess first-rate racing ability. Lord Glasgow achieved good success, a circumstance which was evidently a source of great gratification to all present. The paucity of acceptances for the Second Nursery was a sufficient indication of the opinion which was en tertained of the handicap. With both First and Second Nursery, in fact, some very discreditable proceedings were connected. The first race_to-day was at 11.10 ; the last, at 4.15. At half-past 5 a special train left for London, and the town quickly resumed its ordinary quietude. Amongst the company who attended the meeting were the Duke of Rutland.

A Mau OF ABERNETHY.—One of the brightes points in Abernethy's character was, that, however he might sometimes forget the courtesy due to his private patients, he was never unkind to those whom charity had confided to his care. One morning, leaving home for the hospital, when some one was desirous of detain ing him, he said—" Private patients, if they do not like me, can go elsewhere ; but the poor devils in the hos pital I am bound to take of."—Macilwain's Memoirs of Abernethy. THE HORSE HACO.—This horse, which, it will be remembered, won the Cesarewitch a fortnight ago, was purchased of Sir Joseph Hawley, at the sale of that gentleman's racing stud in 1851, by Mr. Wm. Barrett, for 65 guineas, and was ridden by a lad named Palmer, whose parents reside at Frilford, near Oxford, the father being coachman to Mr. William Aldworth, of that village. The lad's riding is thus spoken of in the Sunday Times of the 16th inst. :—" Their success (al htding to the owner and party who backed the horse), however, was not a little owing to the admirable and patient-riding of Palmer, a very promising light weight." I On Monday, the 17th, the gratified parents of the lad returned from a journey to Newmarket, whither they had been invited, to receive, for the purpose of invest ment for the future use of their son, a handsome sum, amounted to between 4001. and 5001„ which has been given by the fortunate owner of the horse as a. gratuity to the lad for his excellent riding. Mr. Barrett, it is said, has netted 20,0001. by the event ; while a few of his friends in the north of England have also made another 20,0001.

The Highflyer, 21, screw, Captain Moore, left Spit head yesterday morning for the Mediterranean. The London, 90, Captain Eden, will sail about Tues day next for the Mediterranean. Courts-martial are ordered to be held on board the Victory, on Tuesday, for the trial of two officers of the St. Jean d'Acre. The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain M'Cleverty, will be paid wages to-morrow, and leave for Devonport, to embark Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons for the Mediterranean. We have been informed by the same authority which enabled us to announce Sir Edmund's selection for his post some weeks ago that Vice -Admi ral Sir Hyde Parker will retire from the Senior Sea Lordship of the Board of Admiralty at the close of this year, Vice-Admiral Dundas, now Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, taking the Senior Sea Lordship (his old placel b and Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons becoming Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. The Cwsar, 91, screw, was docked in the steam-basin dock yesterday, to receive her steam power. A steam-vessel for the accommodation of officers and men of the fleet, at Spithead, is ordered to be in attend ance on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at 11 a.m., to ob viate the necessity of their risking their lives in small craft in foul weather. The Avon, steam-tender, Master Commander Veitch, arrived in harbour this morning, from Plymouth, with supernumeraries. The Frolic, 14, Commander Nolloth, was commis sioned on Friday evening, in this harbour, by that popu lar and good officer. She is ordered for the Australian station, and will accompany the Juno. The pendant is not yet hoisted in the Princess Royal. The Cyclops, store steamer, is under the steam-basin sheers, discharging boilers and machinery- belonging to the Cmsar. THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE.—The Russian frigate Ab pops. (Aurora) must have had a very narrow escape from total wreck on the late occasion of her living been on shore off the Swedish coast ; the whole of her false keel being gone, a great part of her main keel, and her gar board streak being literally ground to shavings, it is only a mercy her fir bottom held together ; her rigging is heavy enough for a line-of-battle ship, and nune of the smartest. She is fitted with patent screw lanyards. This is con sidered objectionable in our service as running a great risk from the danger of shot. The backstays of this Russian frigate are pretty nearly as big as the top masts, and draw many a grin from our blue jackets. The crew are a strong-built dirty-looking lot. PLYMOUTH, OCT, 30. The Makassar, Dutch war schooner, Captain H. P. de Kock, having made good defects, sailed for Malta early this morning. The St. George, 120, ordinary guard-ship, Captain Kingcome, will be paid off to-morro w , an d re-commis sioned the following day. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Webber, having made good defects, sailed for the Coast of Africa at 6.20 this morning. Vessels in the Sound.—Hogue, 60, Captain W. B.

Burns, M.D. (1852), S urgeon of the Unit convict hospital-ship at Woolwich, has rejoined from leave of absenee, having proceeded to Edinburgh to pass the Royal College of Physicians after the usual examination, which was satisfactory, and he passed accordingly. Captain Rose, deputy-governor of the convict estab lishment at Portland, is appointed governor to the War rior convict-hulk at Woolwich, and will commence his duties here on Tuesday, November 1. He is succeeded at Portland by Mr. W. E. Buller, Deputy-Governor of the Defence, at this port, where he has given very great satisfaction by unremitting attention to his arduous duties. One sergeant, one corporal, and 25 privates of the Chatham division of the Royal Marines, lent some time ago to assist in carrying on the duties of the corps at Woolwich and Deptford, left the Dockyard station of the North Kent Railway yesterday afternoon, on their return to head-quarters at Chatham. One hundred and fifty men, in addition to the eighty privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. The whole of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines doing duty at Deptford have been ordered to return to head-quarters here on Monday next. A detachment of the Foot Guards, from London, will arrive at Deptford, on Monday, to do duty at the dockyard, in the room of the Royal Marines. OCT. 30. The Rhadamanthus steam store-ship, Master Com mander Belam, arrived at Woolwich this morning from Devonport. The Archer screw steam-sloop, Commander James N. Strange, is daily expected at this port, from Leith, it is supposed to be paid off at this port, as she has been three years and six months in commission. The Rifleman screw steam-ship, commissioned at this port, is getting on very well towards the complement of men allowed as her crew. Lieutenant Christian, her commander, has had applications from a far greater number of robust, healthy-looking landsmen, apparently suitable for service at sea, than he can accommodate—a proof that plenty of men of that description are desirous of entering the naval service of this country, THE SCREW FLEET.—The screw line-of-battle ships James Watt, 91, Devonport ; Cressy, 81, Sheerness ; Ceasar, 91, Portsmouth ; and Nile, 91, Devonport, are the next vessels that will be ready for hoisting the pen dant. SCARCITY OF ROYAL MARINES,—Such is the scarcity of Royal Marines that the authorities have been com pelled to send a detachment of Foot Guards to do duty at her Majesty's naval establishment at Deptford. THE ARMY. BELFAST, OCT. 2 8.—RECRIIITING.—A party of the gal lant 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot ,has arrived in Belfast, from Chatham, on recruiting dUty. This regiment was stationed here in 1841, and had, at the time, a fine band. The service companies are now at the Cape of Good Hope. They have been upwards of ten years " out." Recruiting, to use a commercial phrase, is rather dull in town at present, owing, in a great measure, we presume, to the vast number of " hands" employed by Mr. Dargan on the Ballymena and Portrush Railway.—Banner of Ulster. Oa Friday a troop of the 11th Hussars, under the com mand of Captain Dallis and Lieut. Inglis, arrived at Kilkenny, from Dublin, to be quartered. The detach ment of Captain Cresswell's troop of the 11th, previously stationed there, left same day to join their troop at New bridge. _ Captain Disbrowe's company of the 62d Regiment re joined the Kilkenny garrison on Friday, from Duncan non . Fort, havi ng completed their Minie r i fle target practice. Colonel Williams gave a splendid ball to the officers of the Kilkenny garrison and their ladies, on Thursday night. DINNER IN A GABoMETER.—The contractors of the Paisley Gas Works commemorated the completion of the new works on Tuesday evening by entertaining up wards of 160 gentlemen within the gasometer, which was suitably fitted up for the occasion.
