Some say the Leader, others the Fo reign, some the Parliamentary, but the generality favour a good, plain, and seasonable Business Address. At the present time there is a general sc%rcity of news. and all the literary and editorial staff In the world cannot communicate facts which have no existence ; but these are facts of interest and imnortance. The ATTIRE of the SEASON, made with the GREATEST ACCURACY in ACCORD ANCE WITH THE WISHES of all CLASSES, and for all PUR SUITS and OCCUPATIONS, is presented by E. Mons and -ox for emsiderably lower prices than are charged elsewhere. The READY-MADE cLonirNo °tiered by E. Mons and Sox is Superior in DESIGN. FIT, FASHION, and GENERAL SUITA BILITY to the GOODS made to order by OTHER HOUSES, and have a far greater degree of patronage than any other ARTICLES at each season of the year. The SPO i.TSMAN obtains his Field equipment at E. MOSES and SON'S to measure or ready made; it gives universal satisfaction, and is distinguished for STYLE, DURABILITY, and ECONOMY. AUTUMNAL NOVELTIES in MATERI kLS and FASHIONS are ready for inspection at E. MOSES and Sox's, and will convince every one of the commanding position occupied by them in all the MARKETS and MANUFACTORIE3 of the world, and will again display the combined attractions of TALENT, SKILL, and ExpE RIE E by their PRODUCTIONS for AUTUMN in ever y de scrip - NC of tlon dress.

SHIPPERS to the COLONIES and EMIGRANTS of all classes May avail themselves of extraordinary advantages at E. Mons and Sores WHOLESALE DEPART MEN r ; the celebrity of the Goods and very economical prices are considerations of the highest im portance. CADTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with *heir Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishment, as follows London City Einablishment, 154, 155, 1 5 56, and 157.

ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical viSociety, Licenti ate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sec., &c. AY be con su lt e d , personally, or by l e tt er , on v i the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from Juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modem patholo7l sts. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittbi Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con.equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an nsive plaints practice in the tr ea t ment of these delicate com of the . and is the only l ega ll y qualified physician who, regardl ess taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the contidenee, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply I.l h‘itrded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too enerally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empiric , , who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues Of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who b.,,,, been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The following is from the Belfast Whig : " We have great pleasure in publishing the following letter in reference to the last moments of Sir Charles Napier. It is the reply sent by Major M‘Murdo to a letter addressed to him by Colour Sergeant John A. Casey, late of the 22d Regiment, and now residing at Ballynafeigh. It is the best testimony to the virtues of the deceased great commander, that those who had the most ample opportunities of thoroughly. knowing his character cannot speak of him without the liveliest emo tions of affection : " Blendworth House, Horndean, Hants, 19th September, 1853. " Serjeant,—Your letter gave me heartfelt pleasure. It was in possessing the affection and confidence of noble soldiers like yourself that our beloved com mander reaped his proudest reward. You are worthy to receive his dying words, which he charged me to deliver to the soldiers whom he loved so well, and thus I impart them to you. Guard them from dishonour and misrepresentation, as you guarded in battle the glorious old colours that received his latest breath :—" I took up my sword at 11 years of age, and I now sheath it at 72 with honour. I have never stained it by a mean or dishonourable action, or by a desire to use it to my own aggrandisement. I have served my country zealously and honestly, but my chief aim was to protect the poor soldier. I may have to re proach myself for some things, but not for my regard for the soldier's welfare. Tell them that, Montagu, who have followed me. Yet even in this I had to check myself, lest my bitter, bitter enemies might say I courted popularity. I never courted popularity with the soldiers • I only strove for their rights." I know, serjeant, the reverence and affect i on w ith w hi c h you will heart to re i ad these wo r d s , b ecause you an d the soldiers know ainos !. u hem t o b e t rue ; and I see, by the feel i ng expres and good y w o is u r he b s lu y tif o u u l rg le f t a t i e t r hi t u o lly me, that you have a To oacpopiroencr serjeant appreciate them.

From the very nature of things, in a concern so extensive as this, a great many expenses must be incurred in the commencement, which would not be continuous, and therefore there must appear a great deficiencyin the earn ing. Any loss, therefore, which occurred in the first in stan 03 ought in fairness to be considered as preliminary expenses. That at least was clear to his mind, f r he did not think that this loss should fall altogether on the parties who had the boldness to start so great an undertaking. (Hear, hear.) The sum, whatever it might be, should in his opinion be carried to the account of the company, and distributed over a certain number of years,t o be fixed on by the shareholderslthemselves. (Hear, hear.) He never felt any doubt as to the propriety of adopting this course. His only doubt was as to the precise time at which it should be adopted. He now believed that they might fix it at the 31st of next December. From that LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1853. THE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the Morning Chronicle.) That portion of the press which has from the first) openly or covertly, supported the interests of Rus sia, perseveres in the attempt to mislead public opinion, as to the successive formswhich the Eastern question assumes, by fictions and fallacies which it may be worth while to notice. The Greek Empire, which was proclaimed by Anglo-Russian writers shortly before Prince Menschikoff's mission, has already been consigned to oblivion. The imaginary Christian State, which was to exist on the south of the Danube, has too visibly assumed the form of a Russian government or province to be any longer presentable to readers still imbued with a remnant of English prejudice. Accordingly, the other side of the picture is steadily held before the public gaze, and the ferocious Turk, accurately copied from the Saracen's Head, which formed the bug bear of our ancestors, is, day after day, held up to odium and contempt. The Christians of Constan tinople are, it seems, to be massacred ; and it is evi dently a disappointment that the feast of Beiram has passed over without the perpetration of the threatened atrocities. It is remarkable that the outbreak of Mussulman fanaticism has, from the first, been foreseen and invited exclusively by the devoted partisans of Russia. While every imagin able insult and injury has been heaped on Turkey by the aggressor, the victims are, day after day, taunted with the crimes which they have not been tempted to commit. Tha Cabinet of St. Peters bugrkpus French and English -7statesmeirthe compliment of supposing them so gullible as to do the work of Russia, by taking the anti-national side in any civil dissension which Muscovite in trigue may produce at Constantinople ; and the people of England share in this civility when they are asked to sympathise with the unprovoked vio lence of the aggressor, on the ground that the forth coming bloodshed will have been caused by a so called Christian Power. With the same insolent disre g ard of the true issue, the Russian organs insinuate that the Pro tectorate claimed over twelve millions of the Sul tan's subjects is not without a foundation in reason. Turkey, it is said, is an anomalous country. Europe cannot sympathise with Mahometan supremacy over Christians. The Imperial claims, it is asserted, would, after all, not be so inadmissible, if only they were unconnected with political objects. It must, indeed, be admitted, say the apologists of the in vader, that Russian ambition is not altogether a fable. It is possible that the religious Protectorate might lead to territorial aggrk.ndisement, and therefore England may be justified in protesting and negotiating, and, above all, in forcing an act of submission down the throat of the Ottoman Government, and in cannonading Constantinople if the Turks are so unreasonable as to object. But yet it must be remembered, say the Philippisers, again and again, that the Emperor has some reason for his claims, and that the Turks are not orthodox According to the European standard. In plainer words, if the reason and sound feeling of England are too determined to be directly set at defiance—if Russia must, in some way, be resisted—if the exist ence of Turkey is, even for a short time, to be main tained—let our diplomacy be half-hearted, let our warlike demonstrations be double-faced. In oppos ing an enemy, let us distrust our cause and suspect our allies—anything rather than act with vigour and decision so as to paralyse the insolent aggressor, and give confidence to the many nations who are ready to welcome and accept our leadership. Cui bono ? To whom is this policy profitable ? Whatever may be the course adopted by England, success is impossible if we are to palter and falter at every step over quibbling comparisons between the wrong per petrated by Russia and the alleged demerits of the Turks. If the profession of lahometanisna dis qualifies a State from receiving the services due to an ally, let the new doctrine be at once avowed, and let a useless dispute be terminated. Ottoman barbarism may possibly be a reason for abandoning the Turkish cause ; but it can never be an excuse for betraying it bit by bit. The Sultan would have been as much a Mussulman had he signed the Vienna Note, as he was when his Minister pro posed the modifications which Count Nesselrode has since justified as indispensable. It is time for the Western Cabinets to determine whether Russia is, or is not, to exercise the disputed Protectorate —or rather to decide whether the solution is to depend on a war in which Turkey would be com pelled to rely on her own unassisted strength. It is consistent with all that has gone before, that the sentimental sympathisers with the oppressed Chris tians of Roumelia and Bulgaria uniformly recom mend a course of action which would give the utmost provocation to Mahometan fanaticism and cruelty, while it would, at the same time, deprive the late allies of the Porte of any power to influence or control the Government which they had deserted. The traditional language of English statesmen not only recognised the Porte as an ally, but adopted, as an axiom, the principle that Russia must be checked in her advances towards the south. Againand again, English influence has been exerted to prevent the Ottoman Government from furnishing its formidable neighbour with any plausible pretext for aggression. In such a case, it has been urged on Turkey, England might, however unwillingly, be ,3ompelled, by respect for public law, to acquiesce in acts of hostility which, however dangerous to the balance of power, could not, strictly speaking, be taxed with injustice. Against wanton aggression, the Porte was always assured of support ; and yet it was notorious that the Sultan was a ussul man, and that the Emperor of Russia called himself a Chris tian. But it was remembered, though Russian agents may now slur over so vital a consideration, that Turkey was a certain and useful friend, and that a Northern conqueror at Constantinople might prove a dangerous enemy. It was foreseen that, after a triumphant Russian invasion, war would be inevitable ; and it was that, if the con flict must come, it was better not to wait till a sure ally was destroyed, and the power of the ad versary was doubled. It would be easy to show, notwithstanding its Mahometanism and its back ward condition, that the Turkish Government is at least as fully entitled as that of Russia to the sym pathy of civilised men. It is not, however, on fanciful grounds of this kind that the policy of England has been based, but on an enlightened re gard to her own interest, as involved in the main tenance of peace and in the independence of Eu rope. A Government which could be influenced, in the pursuit of an established policy, by a sudden discovery that an ally continues to profess the re ligion of his nation, or by the suggestion that the mob of a capital might possibly be goaded to an outbreak, would be taxable, not so much with dis honesty, as with childish levity. It is a transparent fraud to represent Turkey as solely interested in the struggle of which she must bear the brunt. It is for the sake of England and France, and still more directly for the interest of Germany, but, above all, from a regard to the main tenance of that international law which is the sole security for peace, that the Western Powers are prepared to resist the unprovoked aggression of Russia. The barbarous Turks have kept their en gagements faithfully—the fanatical Mussulmans have not molested the Christian population—no offence, or pretended offence , has been given • and Russia is avowedly and deliberately marching to the conquest of new territories. Unless the whole European system is obsolete, England and France are bound to interfere. A great State has an in terest Eedsut faith, tainin c g ou a rage. The minor Powers o character, not only for n pe m would ballint for supply England w ith i rres i s tibl e force if it was once understood that th e y could good depend on her protection. There are too many instances, in our former history, of the abandon- Ment of allies by weak Ministries ; and none re mained unpunished. From the end of the seven years' war to the day of his death, Frederick the Great never forgave the neglect of his interests and safety shown by George 111. and Lord Bute, when they patched up their hasty peace in 1763. The treaty of Tilsit was promoted by the neglect of the English Ministry to support Russia during the campaign of 1807 ; and the passing of the Bal kan,distinctly by Diebitsch, may b e traced to the murderous blunder of Navarino. The repetition of similar misconduct would not be excused by dishonest tirades against the Mahoroetanism or barbarism of an ally whom we are bound to protect.

THE CORK BANQUET TO THE LORDS OF TBE ADMIRALTY. (From the Times.) There was a scene the other day at Cork neither the first, nor probably the last of its kind. The occasion was a civic banquet to the Lords of the Admiralty and the officers of the fleet, attended, as we aro told, by all the leading personages of the I city and county of Cork; and the principal feature of the day was a gentle hint that the harbour of Cork was worthy the notice of the Admiralty, and a courteous but guarded reply by the First Lord, urging Irish gentlemen to trust more to themselves th in to Government, and promising, in very gene ral terms, that everything should he done for Cork that was required for the interests of the empire at large. This is so much the duty of a ruler under all circumstances, and, indeed, it would be so great a crime to omit it, that the promise sounds very like a truism, or, at any rate, comes to no thing at all. If Lords of the Admiralty, however, are exposed to such trials, as they can hardly fail to be wherever they go, they have no alternative but to reply with the simplest possible statement of their duties and their powers. It is to be hoped that the time is going by —gone by we cannot quite say—when the public money is to be scattered broadcast i n , this or that city or port, from some notion of favour or some motive of interest, or some ime.gin* rifilit•which the place may be sup posed to havato benevolence. Seriously, whattiber this sort of clainrcome to, and where is it to stop ? Two or three hundred thousand pounds...we name a moderate sum—are to be spent on a place because nature has made it the finest harbour in the world, or because it just wants something to make it the finest harbour, or be cause there is no harbour whatever on that coast, or because there is a harbour without defences, or defences without a harbour, or because the French can land there, or because they cannot land there, or because merchantmen go there, or because they never go there. These, among many other reasons, as well as the reasons which are the contrary of these reasons, have all been alleged in favour of pub lic grants, and, under the influence of packed com mittees, paid engineers, and a vigorous canvas by the people of the locality, many such grants have been voted which have yielded no return—that is, no public advantage at all commensurate with the cost. We do hope that the time is going by for this sort of folly, and that the next time a good slice out of a million is asked for a harbour of re fuge, a pier, a breakwater, or a new battery, some sober calculation will be made of its probable value to the nation, divested of all purely romantic con siderations. Sir James Graham appears to be very much of this mind, and we believe has really no such fond affection for his office as to rob the Trea sury for its sake, or put Mr. Gladstone under an unpleasant pressure. So, Sir James turned off the force of the hint by referring to the marvellous results of private en terprise lately witnessed in both islands. He pointed to the Exhibitions in London and in Dub lin, as proving what may be done without the smallest help from Government, and to certain recent improvements in the staple productions of Ireland. He came not, indeed, to preach a ser mon, but, being called on to speak, and having his text given him, he could not but preach in a rather moral strain, and the subject of his discourse was the necessity of self-dependence. It is a point on which we have written so often, that we really have not much to say which we have not said before. Besides, it is rather ungracious to go on telling people to depend on themselves when they are really beginning to do so. It is proverbial that an * lrishman can shift for himself on the edge of a forest better than the Englishman of the same class, inasmuch as he has not to get o ver th e un comfortable discovery that he has no farmer to employ him, no rates to fall upon, no grocer's shop where he can satisfy all his manifold wants. The Irish would not have multiplied so prodigiously, and thriven so well, not to speak of maintaining many thousand gentry and clergy in and out of Ireland, had they not a good deal in them ; and it certainly is rather hard that they should be con tinually abused for their dependence by the very classes which depend upon them, by landlords who carry away their rents, and by clergymen who live on their tithes or rentcharges. What the Irishman really wants is faith in himself ; such a belief of his own powers as shall make him take proper care of himself, not only when starved, turned out, driven away, and expatriated altogether, but also when he sees a Chancellor of the Exchequer, or a Lord of the Admiralty, or any other fairy godmother of political romance. That is the Irishman's weak point. He is too apt to dream of buried treasures, of pots of gold, of short cuts to wealth, of places, of grants, of friends in place, and all sorts of luck. Imagination has a good deal to do with it ; and the effect of imagination is very often seen in this country when an industrious honest man is spoilt by the expectation, well grounded or otherwise, that he is entitled to some considerable property, hanging over him like the grapes of Tantalus all his life, yet never coming within his gras p. Nobody knows what he can do till he has tried, and few people try their best till they have been forced to do it. The Irish are very little aware how much this is the case in this wealthier island. Take those of this nation who have been the most suc cessful, the most energetic, and the most famous, and it will be found that they are men who have risen not so much by the favour of circumstances as in spite of them. The man who was obliged to seek a home for himself ; the man who found no opening in his parish, his town, or his profession; the man who was early compelled to make friends of his own; the man who was reduced to look out for a new branch of industry, or whose tastes led him to do so, is the great engineer, or contractor, ormanufacturer, who plays so important a part in the social annals of the age: Take any one of them at random, and ten to one we shall find that he has had a hard battle with fortune, from the time when he was beaten by clever boys at school, and by big boys out of it, to the maturer days when he stood alone in the world, friendless, penniless, and all but hope less, yet resolved to do what he could, and try con clusions with fortune before lie quite succumbed. This is the case in England everywhere, every day, so great and so violent is the seething and bubbling H o f e t r h e i s w h e huge cauldron e n o f t o h u a m n d a n fro, suffering n banished ad from toil. village to town, and from town to village, from one nattoasiyeisi they had been dropped from the are another , fo rgotten, from o a n n e d th province ousand a to s an other,tandalmost as destitute of human sym pathyaa ia employmentol a ttillitself,ed moon. The Irishman who thinks his case desperate if he has not fifty strong and zealous friends, be sides a good interest in the Administration, little knows how friendless, how unknown in high places are many who nevertheless jog on, and even get on respectably, comfortably, anetriumphantly. Per haps there is no country in the whole world where people are more cast on their own resources than here. Irishmen learn this when they come here, and do here as Englishmen do—that is, they take to the hardest work, live well, yet economically, put by money, turn it to some profitable account, and end by rising over the heads of the English labouring classes. What is most to be hoped, and what indeed may now be hoped, is that Irishmen will do this in their own country, and rely on their own exertions, even without having the sting of desperation to goad them, or the example of Eng lish regularity and industry always before their eyes. THE LARGEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD.—At a moment when the existing hotel accommodation on the other side (*the Atlantic is being contrasted in a fashion so little complimentary to what is being provided of a like kind at home, it may be interesting to know that our countrymen in the colonies are determined to sustain the repute of old English supremacy in creature comforts against all comers, American or otherwise ; for we learn that the proprietors of the Clifton-house Hotel, on the Canadian shore of the Niagara Falls, are about so to enlarge its capacity as to provide for the perfect accom modation of no less than one thousand visitors, it being already capable of ministering, in the most complete manner, to the requirements of four hundred.—• Live rpool Albion. THE PORT OF LONDON.—The great and progressive increase in the business of the port of London is stated to be such as to require the most serious consideration of the Treasury, with reference to the insufficient ac commodation afforded by the Customs for the discharge of ships and the delivery of their cargoes. For some time it has been a matter of general complaint that the supply of landing officers is inadequate to the increased duties of their department, and it is said that, although there are at present nearly 60 inferior officers employed in assisting them, the business on many of the wharfs and quays is actually brought to a stand. At the docks also vessels have to wait some days before they can pro ceed with their discharge. The greatest inconvenience is consequently sustained, and it is contended that with an increasing revenue the expense attending the appointment of an adequate number of properly-quali fied persons to attend to its protection should not weigh an instant in comparison with the loses inflicted upon the mercantile community through the obstacle to which their trade ie pow expend. GENERAL SCREW STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. M. Ellis in the chair. The report, after stating that the progress of events had gone far to realise any favourable impression which the statement of the last half year's report might have made on the minds of the shareholders proceeded to say "That induced by the present aspect of political affairs, and the temptations which large ;shipments of gold like that by the Harbinger may offer, the board have deter mined to put a proper armament on board of each of the company's ships. The board have made a satisfactory arrangement with the Patent Fuel Company, which is to give as a penalty a certain quantity of fuel, to be de livered in equal proportions in the course of three years. The ships employed in the Indian service have acquired the confidence of the public, as is well exemplified by the greater number of passengers—the shipments of goods have increased—and France is beginning to avail herself of the Indian line for the conveyance of her mer chandise, at the same time the expenditure of fuel has been much reduced, the ships have after a first voyage returned with their machinery in excellent order—the voyages have been performed with a degree of punctu ality that leaves but little more to be expected, and, as a natural result, the expenses have been considerably diminished. The board's experience has caused improve. ments in the 1,800 ton ships, which have economised space—giving accommodation for a greater number of passengers, and for additional cargo. The ventilation of - the cabins has also improved, which will be most accept -449 to,Patieengecs in a -tropicalstiimates — -Tfltri%tinen tal services have, in the aggregate, been conducted with their usual success. To relieve the vessels employed in them for ordinary and necessary repairs, the board have lately purchased, at public auction, the liar, an iron vessel of 260 tons burden, and 80-horse power. She is now running between London and Dunkirk. The in crease of business between London and the countries of which Harlingen is the port, demands a larger vessel than the Lord John Russell, and the board are about to contract for a new ship; it has long been required by the merchants engaged in the trade. The Sir Robert Peel has been successfully employed on the South Afri can coast service ; her passengers and cargo have, in fact, exceeded her means of accommodation. The board have purchased the Natal, of 680 tons, and 100-horse power, to complete this service, according to the con tract. She will proceed to her destination in the course of next month. The departure of the Harbinger for Port Philip and Sydney, was announced in the last re port. Her passage to Port Philip in 69, and that of the Hellespont in 75 days, was hailed with the highest satisfaction in the colonies, and greatly tended to re move the repugnance which had sprung up in the public mind, to steam communication by the south. The Har binger's return rid the Cape of Good Hope, instead of Cape Horn, weakened the prestige which the outward passage had won ; but, in a pecuniary sense, the results of the voyage are satisfactory. She is to sail on the sth proximo, ' on her second voyage to Port Philip and Syd ney. The Argo sailed on the Bth of May, and left St. Vincent on the 23d of the same month, since which no j information of her progress has been received. The ships of 2,500 tons are in a forward state. The Crcesus is i nearly ready for sea ; the Jason is receiving her machi nery ; and the Golden Fleece will be launched in a few days. The Crce-us it is intended to dispatch in the first , week of December, and the board hope the other two will follow at intervals of two months. The first ship has engines of 400-horse power, but the power of the second and third is reduced. In order to maintain an alternate monthly line, regularly and efficiently, and with due re gard to the public exigencies, four large ships will be required ; and as th e A rgo must b e transferred to the Last evening, Mr. Alderman Wire the new She r iff f or e Indian line, for w hi c h s h e was or i ginally intended, the London and gaveMiddl' his inauguration ba nque t directors contempl a t e th e purc h ase of another ship. at the London Tavern. sex About 170 gentlem en werepre sent, including Hon Lord Dudley Coutts St uar t, M.P.; the Under such an a rrangement, t h e H ar bi nger will be considered as an au x ili ar y t o e ith er t hi s or the Indian mail ' and Rev.

But when he gave them that expectation for the future, they must be aware that a great deal remained to be done in order to attain that end. (Hear.) The expendi ture had to be narrowly watched—strict supervision had to be exercised over the various officers of the company, and no means of checking needless outlay should be left untriel (Heir, hear.)

There was no limit in their charter, if th e y f ound the sup posedetfhaGt Good dis Hope would give Panama route to be more profitable than that by the Cape of Good Hope, and they could take any route that they liked. (Hear, bear.) It only now remained for him to move that the report be received and adopted. Mr. Carrington, Mr. Rose, and one or two other shareholders having objected to the adoption of the re port in the absence of the accounts, the resolution was limited to its reception, and not its adoption, and in that sense it was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then stated what the substantial result of the accounts would be, if in a state to be presented to the meeting. From this statement it appeared that the total loss since the commencement of the company was 35,0001., including 5,4691. interest paid to shareholders. The SECRETARY then read what would substantially be the position of the accounts if in a state to be presented regularly to the meeting. The result was, that there appeared on the debt or s id e o f th e pro fit and loss account a sum of 39,9031. 16s. Bd., and on the creditor side a sum of 36,2841. 14s. Bd. Resolutions were then agreed to for dividing 4 per cent. per annum for the half-year, in accordance with the re commendation in the report, and for altering the days of holding the half-yearly meetings, with a view to greater convenience as to the time for preparing the accounts. After a vote of thangs to the Chairman the meeting adjourned for 21 days, so as to have the accounts recti fied and presented. SHERIFFS' INAUGURATION DINNER. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE ADMIRALTY. The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, and his colleagues, arrived at Kingstown Harbour at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, in their steam-yacht Black Baglekfrom Queens town. THE CHANNEL FLEET. Rear• Admiral Corry, with the fleet under his com mand, left Queenstown Harbour on Thursday, at five p.m., for his cruise. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 30. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, flag of Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, G.C.I - 1., will be docked next week to have the alterations made we have already noticed. This is finally resolved on, as we stated yesterday. The annual promotions of her officers took place yesterday. Lieut. Carter (senior lieutenant) is made Commander, and Messrs. Wilmot, the Hon. W. L. H. Anson, and Suli. van, mates, are made lieutenants. The Conflict, 8, screw-sloop, was taken out of harbour to-day by Lieutenant G. H. Clarke, of the steam re serve, for a trial of her common propeller cut 'a foot at each corner, as on the last trial. She averaged a speed of 9.440 knots as the mean of her runs along the men. sured mile at Stokes-bay ; revolutions, 621 ; wind, N,W.; force, 3 to 4. The Gefion, 48, Prussian frigate, CommodoreSohrceder, is rapidly refitting in this harbour, after a thorough overhaul. Provisions and stores for six months have been ordered from the different tradesmen of Portstnouts, yielding a large amount of benefit to the general ship chandlers and others of this place. The crew have also been paid a very large sum of money, which, together with the officers' advance-bills, amounts to upwards of 4,0002, thesiglel&wirich has been expended in the borough. On Wednesday night M. Vanderbergh, his Prussian Majesty's Vice-Consul at this port, entertained Commodore Schroeder, Captain Sundewal, and the officers of the frigate at the Consulate-house on the Grand Parade, and also Colonel Youngstedt and Lieutenants Migotty, Schonck, and Romache, of the Austrian Imperial navy, who are superintending the building of a frigate-of-war for the Austrian service at the shipbuilding yard of Mr. Wigram, at Southampton. After dinner the gallant and distinguished party honoured M. Arnoldus Vanderbergh with their company at a soirée dansante. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 30. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived here by the South Devon Railway on Wednesday after noon. Yesterday his Royal Highness went to the Devon port Dockyard, where he was received by Commodore Superintendent Michael Seymour and the principal officers, who conducted him round the arsenal and through the various public buildings. The Duke in spected the ships under construction and repair, and in the evening dined with Sir Harry Smith, the Com mander of Forces in the Western district. This morning at eight o'clock, the royal visitor left Plymouth fbr Exeter. In heaving up the anchor of the Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, on Wednesday, the pull-plate of the capstan was carried awa y ; the defect is to be made good with all speed, and she will probably sail for the Mediterranean on Monday. The Ajax, 58, screw steam-blockship, Captain Mquin, is ordered to take in coal and stores preparatory to sail ing for Queenstown. - The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Captain Sir T. Maitland, is ordered here to refit. A two-decked man-of-war was observed early this morning coming in direct from the southward. At five o'clock she shook a reef out of her topsails, and went up Channel under all topsails, topgallantsails, and flying jib, the fore-course hauled up ; light breeze from south-west, heavy sea running. She carried the white ensign at her peak, and, from the foulness of her bottoms appdated to have come home from a foreign station. • WOOLWICH, SEPT. 30. APPOINTMENTS. Chaplain and Naval Instructor.—Rev. Thomas R. Holme (1848), to the President, 50, fitting at Chatham, for the Pacific station. Master's-Assistant,—James Robertson, to the Queen, 116, western squadron. Gunner.—William J. Latham, to the Apollo troop ship, at Sheerness. Boatswains.—William Richards, to the St. George, 120, guardship in ordinary, at Devonport ; John Tur ner, to the Apollo. Carpenters.—Philip Lander, to the St. George ; Ed ward Burchat, to the Apollo. The Cyclops steam-frigate, in charge of Mr. Alexan der Pope, assistant to the Master-Attendant at Sheer ness Dockyard, has taken on board a portion of the machinery of the Nile, 90, at Devonport, and is now ready to leave for that port. The Rhadamanthus steam store-vessel, Master-Com mander Belam, has taken on hoard the machinery of the Euryalus, 50, screw steam-frigate, of 400-horse power, at Chatham, for the purpose of taking it to that port. The Tyne store-ship, Master-Commander Peter Wel lington, is hourly expected at this port, from Rio and Ascension. THE CASE OF MR. WOODCOCK, THE LATE ENGINEER OF THE EARRACOLITA.--We almost regret to hear that orders have been received from the Admiralty to stop all legal proceedings against Mr. Woodcock, the chief engineer of the Barracouta, steam-sloop, who absented himself from the ship when under sailing orders, and subsequently surrendered, and has been a prisoner on board the Victory, flag-:hip, at Portsmouth. We rather regret this step on the part of.the Admiralty, for a trial by court-martial would have given the public the whole p c onduct of certain " Executives" towards that valuable class of officers. We have blamed g so i a n m r e t some c r u s a:l a te r o s ca o tl i o n n the t e h i ca t e h s e c e ; in n n d t h w e o u r e l d gu a l s a s t u i o r n e d s ly have affect led i ngen t! that under legal advice to try the question as to wh e th er an s o a d 3 c , c n k o t l w or it a h b st s a e n n d ti i n n g g himself efrcoomurhseis wassh i p, taken and o 'e l‘v ffi fr c ' e stl r iVl o lo f the civil branch, after resigning his commis• sion, is compelled to serve ag ainst his will—we say, notwithstanding this, it would have been better if Air. Woodcock had remained on board his ship, and have allowed the commander to take him to sea at his peril. —Morning Berald. PROMOTION OF LIEUTRNA.NT HOSICEN.—During the stay of the Banshee at Queenstown, Sir James Graham promoted Commander Hosken to his present rank. In this act of the First Lord the service generally will appreciate a due reward to a gallant officer of £5 years' active employment in the service, and the mercantile steam marine be rejoiced at the advancement of an officer to whom is due the rapid progress the science of steam navigation has made within the -last few years. Commander Hosken will be recognised as the officer who first took the Great Western across the Atlantic, and opened steam communication between Great Britain and America.—Herald. LANDORE POWDER MAGAZINE.—The dangerous posi tion and state of the powder magazine at Landore, near Swansea, has often aroused public attention ; and at length it is to be removed from its present place to a more suitable spot. This magazine, which has contained a store of six tons of gunpowder, has been allowed to stand within a few yards of the South Wales Railway, and was nightly passed by workmen with lights and combustibles. It was also in immediate proximity to dwelling-houses and manufactories. The new magazine has been erected on Crumlin Burrows, and is now ready for occupation. .2t co mmittee of the Swansea Town council was appointed to effect the removal. DINNER TO GENERAL GODWM.--The officers of the force at Rangoon gave General Godwin a farewell din ner on the 2d, which "came off" with the greatest eclat. The officers of the Bengal Fusiliers kindly placed their mess-house at the disposal of the committee, whose arrangements and ability as caterers deserved every Ininashtr , ilet z i . his '' du ty • praise. The gallant guest made an excellent speech, and met with the most tremendous applause when he n r . e d s , se stated “ that, whatever opinions the press and th e public were pleased to express in regard to his conduct of the war, he could honestly state that he had done exactly that which he was proud to say had been done great, and d three gallant an d distinct i n o by boy ev io e soldi er gryioer s, and of the acting army up o t f o ihbui had s il enc e was again obtained, he instructions."
