It far surpasses ivory in its splen did appearance, and is 50 per cent. cheaper. It is particularly re commended for its purity and sweetness—a little soap and water restores its first splendid appearance. It will not break with falling, neither will it be the least affected by time or service. All these ad vantages combined in this article, which together with the low price at which the article is produced, form a tout-ensemble never before attained, Sold retail by all ironmongers, cutlers, and jewellers, in the United Kingdomand the Colonies. Manufactured only by JOSEPH P PUN, 32, Norfolk-street, Sheffield, where they can be obtained Wholesale; also at kis warehouse, 15, Fore-street, City.

My Lerds and Gentlemen, I don't remember, Having betbre addressed you in November ; But really I'm compelled to call you early, To settle this commercial hurly burly. And having done so, my sincere advice is, That you'll at once do something for the crisis. It pains me much (and that's a plain confession) To witness such a panic and depression. Ent never mind—on you I now rely, And matters may be better by-and-bye. I must allude, before my lecture closes, To what I've noticed at the Mart of mOSES. MOSES and SON have struggled to impart A counteracting influence at their Mart ; Mach has been done to benefit my people, At MOSES' warehouse, facing Aldgate steeple. Cheap dress incalculable good has done ; And who in this can equal MOSES ?—None ! I feel assured that MOSES' moderate prices, Relieve the burdens of the present crisis. And hence, I say, before the session cleses, Propose a vote of thanks to Messrs. MOSES. LIST OF PRICES.

XAMPLEN. THE RIVER PLATE. - The following memorial from the leading mer chants connected with the trade of the River Plate has been presented to Viscount Palmerston on the subject of the blockade of Buenos Ayres : " London, Oct. 18. "My Lord,—As parties deeply interested in the trade of the River Plate, we respectfully beg leave to offer to your Lordship a few remarks upon the block ade in that river, which, though discontinued by the British naval forces, is continued by those of France. "Concerning this blockade, Mr. W. A. Harris, United States' Minister at Buenos Ayres, writes, in a dispatch to Lord Howden, dated Ist July, 1847, as follows :—'Th e bl ockade has not answered in any one respect what ever t h e end for which it ostensibly was laid on. Its p r i nc i pa l tendency has been to molest and irritate those w h om i t was intended to reduce b y co erdion. An o th er practical effect of it has been, that whilst it dest ro y e d a ll legal and open commerce, i t made necessary a sort of spurious traffic through the medium of the port of Monte Video, obliging pay ment of a doubl e i mport and export duty, which has been levied for the support of the anomalous Govern ment in that city. Nevertheless, the principal benefit of this system has not fallen to the Governments of England and France, nor even to the subjects in ge neral of those Governments, but openly , and noto riously t o th e a d vantage of a ' few persons in that city, and a still sm a ll er num b er in this. " Further o n , i n t h e same dispatch, M r. H arr i s states that from the 23d of February, 1846, to the end of May, 1847, t h e number of vessels w hi c h entered and left th e p ort of Buenos Ayres was 4 , 012. I obtain this r esu lt (h e says) from an exam i nat i on o f the monthly returns which have been presented to this legation. It is true that almost all these were small vessels, many of which arrived and sailed at night ; but it is also true that a great number of them, perhaps half, did so at mid-day, and in sight of the blockading forces, without any serious attempt at detaining them. All those vessels, however, paid tribute at the port of Monte Video for the produce, or merchandize of which their cargoes were composed, as I have said above: " Lord Howden, also, in a dispatch to Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, dated July 15, 1847, writes concerning the blockade as follows " As I consider, first, that the orientals of Monte Video are not at this moment free agents, but entirely controlled by a foreign garrison; and secondly, that the blockade having entirely lost its original character of a coercive measure against General Rosas, has l ing with and partly with money, partlybecom etheexGcluovsievrenlmy Government a n m t of. ode A o i f o s n u t p e ply v i i n d certain foreign individuals there, to the continued detriment of the extensive and valuable commerce of England in these waters; I hereby request you, Sir, to raise the blockade of both sides of the River Plate, and to take the measures necessary for ceasing all further intervention in these waters.' " To further elucidate the character of this (so called) blockade we remark " 1. That of the 4,012 vessels mentioned by Mr. Harris not one was British. " 2. That all of them had one and the same port of destination or departure, viz., Monte Video, and all paid tribute there. If there be any exceptions, they are two few to merit notice. " 3. That the effect of the (so-called) blockade has thus not been to deprive Buenos Ayres of its trade, but merely to restrict it from trading with any other place but Monte Video. " 4. That the British flag has been deprived of any portion of even this trade. " 5. That 4,012 vessels could not have left or en tered Monte Video without the authorities of that port knowing well whither they had gone or whence they came; and yet, "6. That it is at the instigation of those same anthorities (owing to their refusal of the armistice) that the French have continued the blockade. " 7. That the Custom-house of Moute Video is farmed by individuals, and that its receipts in 1846 amounted to about 330,0001. sterling, according to the accounts published in the Monte Video journals. " In stating the se f ac t s we have aimed at brevity of expression, not f rom di sres p ec t, but to spare your Lordship's valuable time. " They will suffice, we apprehend, to show that the so-called blockade is in reality no blockade, but a mere sham, with a twofold object :—viz., to enrich the persons who have farmed the Custom dime ; and to supply the Government of Monte Video (described by Lord Howden, in the dspatch above quoted, as without money, without credit, and without native troops') with means for maintaining the foreign gar rison. Nor is at all likely to be made effective for the future, for an effective blockade, by depriving Monte Video of its present illicit traffic, would de stroy its revenue, and would be no better to them than no blockade. 14 AVIES'S CANDLES, 6d. per lb. ; Genuine Sperm, Is. 9d. ; Yellow Soap, 485., 545., and 60s. per 1121bs. ; Mottled, 60s. and 645.; Wax Candles, Is. per lb.; German Wax, Is. 2d. ; Fine Wax, Is. sd. ; Transparent Wax, Is. 11d.; Genuine Wax, 2s.

The Premiums are on the most moderate scale consistent with per fect security ; while The Profits are wholly divisable among the assured, on a princi ple at once safe, equitable, and favourable to good lives ; being re served for those Members whose paid-up Premiums, with accumu lated Interest, amount to the sum assured by their Policies. By this principle, a surplus, comparatively small in itself, may yield a very considerable bonus to those who live to share in it. The mo derate rate of Premium, as com?ared with most of the other mutual offices—equivalent, at early and middle ages, to a bonus of 201. or 254 per cent. from the commencement—is a compensating advantage to those who do not live to participate in the surplus.

The game is abundant, the weather is clear, Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear; But sportsman, before you depart for the fun, Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gan, The first in the leld L. HYAM now stands, For his " P.Aletot Shooting.coat," known in all lands ; Enveloped in these, it soon will be found, That the wind and the rain fall powerless around. For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got, Just wear one—you soon wil be reckoned a "shot." Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well, One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel For that is the cause why the journals express Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress.

IiYAM'S nothing, Hat, and Outfitting Establishment, 36, Gracechorch-street. have taken arms for the defence of the existing Go vernment of that republic against General Oribe, and have left nothing undone to compromise the national flag in this cause, thus arrogating to themselves the right of peace and war, which . belongs to the King alone. We have combated this claim, as it was our duty to do. The King's consul at Monte Video has energetically defended the principle of the neutrality of foreigners. " The French Legion, however, have not laid down their arm, and this unexpected resolution of a part of the foreign residents, has prolonged the resistance of the city. At present that resistance no longer appears on the point of terminating. The state of war is maintained, and with it all the injuries which may result therefrom to the interests of those foreigners who have remained neuter. Commerce is interupted by land and sea ; the city of Monte Video has been in a state of blockade for nearly two years ; and the country is ravaged by the excursions of the two armies. This state of things calls for a prompt ter mination, if we do not wish to allow the consumma tion of the ruin of those French who have remained faithful to their duty, and who urgently entreat our protection in the unfortunate and perilous situation in which the obstinate blindness of a part of their fellow countrymen has so much contributed to plunge them."

The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Ilygeian medicines.

Joshua Ingham and J. B. Green. wood, were holding a petty sessions at the Court-house, information was communicated which induced them to place in the hands of Mr. Green a search w arrant for immediate execution, which he at once proceeded to effect on the premises, at Birstal (a small but some what populous town, about four miles from Dewsbury), in the occupation of Mr. Renatus Harptniann, where, in a room adjoining his bedroom, he found four barrels fplif o eoe f snorenNofdu g aetoas i :lo t ientt n . ywutb p or efh o eoßß w ae: oydrA d 2foc e Ttsrneh r . , each weighing 100 1b . , and one half barrel, weighing 501 b., and in the garret he found seven bar rels and one three parts full ; the remainder he found in a detached outhouse a few yards from his dwelling.

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.--Incidents arisen during the past fortnight in several loc a liti es ' in a neighbouring county, if not attended with dratn a ti c at least with amusing effect. We have heard of men hoarding up money in "crocks" and old "stockings," which were considered much safer than in banks ; but seldom have we heard of even the miser committi ng suc h ludicrous mistakes as the following:—A few day s s i nce a gentleman was waited upon by a tenant to p a y a por tion of a year's rent (251.), and, after a long add ress , i n which he set forth the los s of th e p o t a t o , p er h aps the embarrassments consequent on the uns oun d ness o f t h e monetary system, and so forth, he conc l u d e d b y stat i ng that " all in the world he cou ld scrape up, " amongst even his neighbours, w as a 101 . note, wh i c h he very re spectfully deposit e d on th e l an dl or d' s ta b le.

" Out of the foregoing reflections naturally arise as to the views and attitude of France in this question. No one doubts that if there had been on her part the ' same desire as on the part of this country to have it settled, it would have been settled. Of the foreign garrison,' which (according to Lord Howden), con trols the native population, the bulk are French. Though the French Government may have spoken harshly of these men, ye t th e French agents do not disccurage them. For proof of both assertions we refer to M. Guizot's dispatch to Connt St. Aulaire, and Count Walewski's answer to an address from the French Legion, of which we annex copies.* " The allusion in the latter document to the flag deserves a line of explanation. Some years ago the French Government ordered the French legionaries to desist from taking a part in the war, and to lay down their arms. After making all sorts of diffi culties they hit upon the following expedient. They laid down their arms as French subjects, were made on the instant Oriental citizens, and took them up again. The French Government appears to have been satisfied with this mode of complying with their order. It seems that the legionaries now wish to have their flag and nationality restored to them, and it would be rash to say that their petition, though discouraged by Count Walewski, will not be granted. " We have stated facts to your Lordship, but it is not for us to draw conclusions, nor to expatiate upon the importauce of th e port of Monte Video, both as the key of the River Plate, and from its position in relation to other places. At present it may be said to be in the hands of a French garrison, though not under the French flag. "It remains for us shortly to advert to the hard ship of this state of things upon the merchants con nected—some of them for nearly forty years—with the River Plate. The blockade is now of more than two years' standing. For so long a period has the trade between this country and the Argentine republic been sacrificed. A customer has been turned away who would have taken off 1,500,000/. sterling worth of our manufactures. All that time produce of a perishable nature, the returns for exports of former years, has been lying there deteriorating. The cost of evading the blockade, despite its laxness, was too great for bulky produce to bear. There was the heavy freight to Monte Video, the heavy charges for landing there and reshipping, and the heavy tri bute exacted by the Monte Video Custom-house, which have been known to amount together, in some instances, to 40 per cent. on first cost. Again there was the risk of sea damage in craft not intended for such a voyage, and the uncertainty as to the views of the blockaders, as the laxness of to-day might, from caprice or spite, be turned into severity to morrow. Moreover, merchants who all their lives have been accustomed to an open trade under the British flag, do not at once become reconciled to, or handy at, a blockade, running, half-smugglit.g traffic. From these causes, therefore, it arises that there is still a large amount of produce belonging to French. British s ubj e cts remaining at B uenos Ayres, the loss of whi c h t o it s owne rs must b e ru i nous if the port be not soon opened. "We have a proof of your Lo r d s hi p ' s anxiety to remedy the evil in the raising th e b ockade on the part of the Briti s h f orces , but to mak e th at step effectual it requi res t o b e followed by th e at t T th h e e parties who f arm the M on t e Video Custom •hou se have secured th e r ec eipts of it for 1848'19, n and date of the last advices thence were negotiating for those of 1850, so t h a t th e i r calculations a embrace re mote eriods.

" A part of the French emigrants established at Monte Video have thought proper to rise in insurrec tion against this policy of their Government. in spite of the reiterated warnings of their consul, these French DEPARTURE of the GOVERNOR. GENERAL OF INDIA. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.--The Earl of Dalhousie, the newly-appointed Governor-General of India, ar rived at this port this afternoon, at fifty minutes past twelve o'clock, by express train of the South-Western Railway, to embark in her Majesty's steam-frigate Sidon, 18 guns, Captain W. H. H en d erson , C. 8., for Alexandria, en route overland to the seat of his government. - The distinguished party comprised the Earl and Countess Dalhousie, the Marchioness of Douro, the Right Hon. Fox Maule (Secretary-at-War), Captain O'Brien (formerly of the Board of Trade), Mr. Wat son, Mr. Laurentz Campbell (secretary of the South- Western Railway Company), who also served with Lord Dalhousie in the Board of Trade, &c. The train left Nine-elms at the usual hour, a quarter past ten o'clock, but the feed pipe of the engine having blown out on the journey, the time of its arrival here was prolonged for some minntes. Lord George Lennox, Captain Yates, of the Victory, and Mr. Cochrane, R.N., the Commander-in-Chief's Flag-Lieutenant, received the Governor-General and suite on their arrival at the Gosport station, and ushered them into the Clarence-yard, where Rear• Admiral Superintendent Sherriff, Captain Super intendent Sir W. E. Parry, and Captain Bruce, of her Majesty's ship Trafalgar (who goes out in the Sidon to take the command of that ship), were in waiting to escort them to the Commander-in- Chief's barge, in which having immediately embarke3, they were put on board the Lightning steam-tender, which conveyed them out to Spithead, where the Sidon lay with steam up, and all ready. Captain Henderson received his distinguished charge under a salute of seventeen guns and manned yards, and at three P.M. left the anchorage for Alexandria. THR ARCHBISHOPRIC or YORK.—A rumour pre vails very generally amongst the clergy that either the Bishop of Durham or the Bishop of Norwich will be raised to the Archbishopric of York. In the event of the Bishop of Durham being promoted to the Arch bishopric, the translation of one of the existing bishops to the diocese of Durham is more than probable; but i❑ the event of the Bishop of Norwich being elevated to the dignity, some clergyman not at present on the bench will be consecrated to his see. The new Bishop of Dur ham, whoever he may be, will be entitled to a seat in the House of Lords, but the new Bishop of Norwich, if that see should become vacant, or indeed any other see that may be vacated in consequence of a translation, will not render its possessor a spiritual Peer, inasmuch as the new Bishop of Manchester will have a prior claim. The Act for the establishment of the Bishop of Manchester provides for this in the following terms:—" And be it enacted that the number of Lords spiritual now sitting and voting as Lords of Parliament shall not be increased by the creation of the Bishopric of Manchester ; and whenever there shall be a vacancy amongst the Lords spiritual by the avoidance of any one of the sees of Canterbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester, or of any other see which shall be filled by the translation thereto from any other see of a Bishop at that time actually sitting as a Lord of Parliament, such vacancy shall be supplied by the issue of a writ of summons to the Bishop who shall be elected to the same see; but if such vacancy be caused by avoidance of any other see in England or Wales, such vacancy shall be supplied by the issue of a writ of sum mons to that Bishop of a see in England or Wales who shall not have previously become entitled to such writ; and no Bishop who shall be hereafter elected to any see in England or Wales, not being one of the five sees above-named, shall be entitled to have a writ of summons unless in the order and according to the conditions above proscribed." MYSTERIOUS DDATII DT ARSENIC.—Mr. Wakley, M.P., at an inquest held in Clerkenwell, said that he had held another lately, not as yet concluded, on the body of an Irish foreman of paviours, named Patrick Manning, aged 64. On Saturday week, whilst at his work, his wife brought him his breakfast, which he ate, and in a few minutes afterwards he was seized with spasmodic pains of the stomach. lie worked for some time, when he dropped down. His comrades took him to Middlesex Hospital, but he expired on the way. Mr. Wakley ordered a post mor tem examination, to which the wife of deceased, in appearance a very notable per son, strongly objected, more it is at present thought through prejudice than from guilty fear. The result of the examination, made by Mr. Corfe of the hospital, is that arsenic was found in the stomach of deceased. The inquiry stands adjourned, to trace how or by what means the poison was administered. THE DIAMOND STEAM-PACKET COMPANT.-011 Wednesday the annual general Court of Proprietors of the Gravesend and Milton Steam-Packet Company was held at the Town-hall, Gravesend, for receiving the auditors' report, the election of directors, and other annual business. Mr. Warren was called to the chair. From the auditors' report, it appeared that the earnings of the packets together with other receipts, for the past year, amounted to 24,6821. Bs. ld., and after making the usual disbursements, the profits shown on the balance sheet for that period amounted to 873/. Iss. B€l. The assets were 42,8681., and the liabilities 44,209/. A warm debate followed, many of the shareholders murmuring at the small amount of profit on such a large return, observing that in former years the profit accruing from a similar return was 3,0001., and they wished the Chair man to explain how it was that such a small amount of profit was exhibited. The Chairman said it arose from the low fares at which the packets had been running, together with the large amount of pier dues paid by the company. For his own part, he never had advocated cheap fares. A long discussion ensued, and it was ulti mately resolved that a committee of nine be appointed, and that they bring up a report to lay before the share holders at another meeting. The meeting was then adjourned for a few weeks, the election of directors being , deferred until such meeting should be held. LORD BURY V.

The following promotions have taken place in con sequence of the vacancy occasioned by the decease, of Captain Willes. Commander Robert Tryon, of the Mutine, to he Captain ; Lieutenant John J. Palmer, of the Gladiator steam-frigate, to be Commander ; William Bowden, Acting Mate of the Hibernia, to be Lieutenant; William R. Adair, Acting Mate of the Hibernia, to be Lieutenant, vice Lieutenant Thomas 11. Molyneux, of the Spartan, deceased. One of those bursts of general indignation, which especially on board her Majesty's ships, is seldom dis played, took place last night (Sunday) on board the Superb, 80, Captain Corry. It would appear that on the preceding evening, on going his rounds, the Commander (Wilmot) observed the deck of the ship dirty from the spitting of the men, and as spittoons were plentifully supplied to them, the filth was thought to be made on purpose, and the smoking was ordered to be stopped. On Sunday, as the men were beginning to smoke, they were ordered by an officer to put out their pipes. This was done by many, but immediately a frightful howl sprang up, and in a few minutes was repeated. The next proceeding on the part of the men was to extinguish the lights, and then they commenced breaking the crockery belonging to their messes, and strewing the decks with the fragments. Shots were then rolled about, the gangway ladders removed, and a heavy 601 b. shot was thrown from the main to the lower deck, nearly striking a midshipman on duty. In the meantime the commander and his officers appeared, and were !welcomed with a shower of crockery. Orders were given to the marines to get under arms and clear the decks, and shortly after wards every man was on the quarter-deck. Here the commander ordered the marines (who wore their side arms only) to run any man through who did not obey his orders, and this order was re peated more than once, the commander taking on himself, as he declared, all the responsibilities of the act. In a few minutes the port watch was piped below by the boatswain and his mates, to clear away the rubbish, and shortly after the cooks of messes, to as certain the damage that was done. Many of the watch went to their duty, and several remained sulking on the deck. Reflection came to their aid, and when they, some time after, wanted to return to their duty, they were not allowed. Ultimately, several men were put in irons ; the sentries were doubled ; the side arms, cutlasses, and bayonets, were removed to a place of security, and by ten o'clock all was quiet. Nothing could exceed the coolness of Commander Wilmot during the whole period of the row ; his orders were given clearly and distinctly, and instantly obeyed by his officers ; and the effects of discipline (though momentarily set at defiance) were beautifully displayed, when one firm man could send 700 of his fellows to their duty. Captain Corry was not on board when the emote took place, nor was the First Lieutenant Bunce. On the following morning the men were assembled on the quarterdeck, when they were addressed by the captain. He said he had sent for them on account of the disgraceful events of last night. On leaving his ship at 9 A.m., he did so with the pride of a man who had the command of as fine a set of lads as could be picked up. What were his feelings on returning on board at 9r. e., twelve hours after ? If h e cou ld b u t find out the fellow who threw his basin at th e com- mander, he would not be satisfied till he had brought him to a court-martial, and seen him swinging at the yard-arm. He concluded by observing, that if any more filth were made about the decks, he would stop their smoking for a time ; if it occurred a second time, he would stop the issue of tobacco, for that was not a slop like others which men were en titled to have issued—the issue of tobacco was a matter of favour. About ten men, or at most twelve, are in irons, and will probably be brought to a court-martial in a few days. Nov. 3.—The Bulldog steam-frigate arrived last night from Leghorn and Port Ferrajo. Lord Milton has gone to Rome via Florence. Mr. Hart, master's assistant has been discharged from the Volcano, and takes a passage to England by the Albion, which is, (lit-on, to leave Malta on ti e Bth inst. He is to pass Trinity-house. Second-Master Browne, of the Hibernia, h, exchanged with Second-Master Hill of the Flamcr, with the consent of the Admiral. The Antelope steamer went yesterday to the lonian Islands, and relieves the Locust. The Spitfire steamer is ordered a supply of six months' provisions, and it is thought will relieve the Meteor at Constantinople. Lieutenant Nowell, who supersedes Lieutenant Baker from the Ardent, reads his commission on board to-day. He arrived on the Ist inst. by the Indus from Southampton.

PORTSMOUTH, TH URSDAT.—The Sidon steam frigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., sailed this afternoon for Alexandria, with the newly -appoints d Governor General of India (Earl Dalhousie) and suit• on board. The Racer, 16, Commander A. Reed, arrived this morning from the River Plata. Her dates are Buem $ Ayres, Sept. Ist; Monte Video, Sept. sth; and Rio, Sept. 23d. She brings no news of political interest later than that brought by the Castor. She sailed this evening for Plymouth to be paid off. The Asia, 84, Captain R. F. Stopford, intended for the flag of Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., to command in chief in the Pacific, arrived at St. Helen's last night, and came to Spithead this morning, after a lazy passage of about ten days from Sheerness. It would be as well if a tug were attached to each port for the purpose of towing into port all vessels of war detained on their passage by contrary winds, or such like hindrance, as is the practice with the merchant navy. The Asia is wanted to go out at once, and now she has lost upwards of a week of her fitt in g time in coming from Sheerness here. The Terrible has been floated off again without accomplishing the end for which she was grounded, and it is now in contemplation t o dock her in the large dock where the Firefly is. For this purpose the Prince Regent, 90, and Retribution steam- ' frigate, must be removed from the basin, and the basin itself drained after she is docked, if docked she can be at all, for that is very doubtful. Her paddle boxes are so broad that she must o b e be ei ds,considerablyeanna and he nce ld n cte, get into li g htened, and have a good high tid e t o carry he r s p e ons o n s over dock, the the gates basin cannot piers. 1 , fsh e el the necessity for draining th e b as i n, her great length will cause her heel to overhang the sill of the duck a t r ‘ o ' e o r p y . c sh l u i p m jo b, e sy ob.

Let no imaginatively relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy. They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all Booksellers, pernumeraries, for Malta. She is to call at Plymouth for parcels and passengers. Wind S.S.W. Fresh breezes and dark cloudy weather. The Endymonion, 41, Captain the Hon. G. F. Has tings, was at Grenada on the 4th of Ocktlrrr&rith orders to sail for England immediately. ' ' The Persian, 16, Commander Corvton, was at Vera Cruz on the 30th of September. VALPARAISO, AUG. 28.—The Grampus, SO, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., arrived here from Oaheite in 35 days, all well. She remains here for the present. The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, also arrived here on the 20th, fiom Callao, with the Admiral on board. The Admiral will remain here for his relief, which he does not expect for fire or six months. Lady Seymour and family are on their way, in the Collingvvood, 80, flag-ship, which is ex pected here from Callao in four or five days. The Carysfort, 26, Captain M. Seymour, arrived here from San Bias on the 24th, with 1,500,000 dollars in specie, partly collected by herself, and partly by the Constance, 50, on the west coast of Mexico. The Carysfort remains here for some time. Captain Seymour was taken ill with the fever inci dental to the climate at Mazatlan, and was so much reduced that Captain Sir Baldwin Walker sent him up here (Valparaiso) to accelerate his recovery, and remained himself on the coast of Mexico in the Con stance, 50, which is expected to be at Valparaiso about the middle of October. The Spy brigantine, Commander Wooldridge, had been dispatched from Mazatlan to the Gulf of Califor nia, at the departure of the Carysfort from the coast of Mexico, in the beginning of June. The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, is among the islands of Oceania. The Modeste, 18, Captain Watkins, is daily ex pected to arrive at Valparaiso from the Columbia River. She is supposed to have gone to the Sandwich Islands on her way to take in stores and provisions. Her Captain has been promoted, and Lieutenant Macdonald, late Flag Lieutenant to the Admiral, has been appointed to her as acting Commander. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, leaves this day for England with the freight in specie to the amount of 1,800,000 dollars on merchants ac count, which is consigned to Captain Sayer, wine merchant and freight agent, of Portsmouth, for con veyance to the Bank of England. It is expected the Cormorant will make a very quick passage, and her officers hold out a prospect of her being in England as soon as the mail via Panama. She will touch at I the port of Calcura, i n th e prov i nce of Arancoa, on the south coast of Chili, to replenish her stock of coals sufficiently to carry her to Rio, through the Straits of Magellan ; replenish again at Rio, and lastly at Fayal ; so that she will be enabled to steam the whole of the voyage home. A million and a half of her freight has been collected in Mexico, shipped from the Carysfort. A small amount of her freight will be landed at Rio; all the rest is for England upwards of 1,500,000 dollars. P.S. The Cormorant has got her steam up, and will start in a few minutes. Eight, rat., August 28. FRENCH. La Somme came in here (Valparaiso) on the 7th of August from Otaheite with troops, on her way home, and sailed on the 25th for France, calling at Bahia. Le Loire, 16, at Valparaiso since the 17th of July, sailed thence on the 11th of August for Otaheite. Le Virginie, 50, Captain Clery, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Hamelin, the Commander-in-Chief, arrived at Valparaiso on the 23d of August, from Callao. The French Admiral is to be relieved in about two months by Rear-Admiral Trehouard, re cently promoted for his conduct in the River Plate. WOOLWICH, Nov. 10. The Cyclops steam-vessel, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, was navigated to Sheerness this morning, to be brought forward for service immediately. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Fisher, was paid off to-day. The Virago steam-sloop, Commander John Lunn, is ordered to be paid off here on Wednesday, the 17th instant. The Driver steam•sloop is in the East dock having he defects made good, as she is required for immediate service. The Dee steam-vessel, Master-Commander Thomas Driver is in the basin undergoing repair, and is to have Mr. Barr's davits fitted to one side, to test their merit compared with the others. The Phoenix steam-vessel is in the basin having her masts and rigging taken down, as it is intended to send her to Limehouse to have the necessary altera tions made in her machinery. The Acheron, the Blazer, and the Porcupine steam vessels are in the basin, and a number of hands are employed upon them, to gut these vessels ready for sea with the least possible delay. The Spiteful, the Prometheus, and the Triton steam vessels are in the basin ; the Niger steam-vessel in the dock; and the FiTard, 42 guns, in the outer The Black Eagle, the Trident, the Myrmidon, the Viokt, the Monkey, the Minx, and the 'fearer steam• vessels are in the harbour. WOOLWICH DOCKYARD, Nov. l 0.--In format ion having been given to the inspectors of police doing duty at the dockyard that Tome of the factory smiths were in the habit of making rods, boot•hooks, shoe tips, knives, and other small articles, and selling them to persons in the town, Inspector Field and Sergeant Forbes, after in vain endeavouring to find out the guilty parties, commenced a search in the smiths' department of the factory during the absence of the men, and found articles of the kinds abovenamed secreted near ten of the fire -places ; and on commu nicating the result, Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, addressed the thirty men working at these fires, stat ing that it was not only very wrong to misappropriate the Government property in the manner it was evi dent had been done, but the public works were also delayed by the time occupied in making the articles ; and if the guilty parties were not made known, the Lords of the Admiralty w ou ld pro b a bl y discharge the whole of them, as such proceedings could not be allowed. The result was, that 23 of the smiths were brought before the Commodore, Sir G. Bremer, and K.C.H., to•day, and the decision of the Lords of the Admiralty read to them, dismissing four of the men, and cautioning the others against con cealing in future any knowledge of the misappropria tion of Government property or loss of time. There are 130 smiths in the factory at Woolwich. COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 11.—The slow and gradual pro gress of returning confidence is still perceptible, though there is no marked feature to note in the occurrences of commercial affairs. The suspension of Mr. Hargreaves, announced in a local contemporary, is, it appears, unfounded, and the happy report of the continued absence of further failures may be repeated. Railway shares have exhibited a considerable ad vance. London and North-Western stock has bought, for cash, 154 3i ; and Midlands, 109. 4,000 bales of cotton have again been sold at steady prices-1,2W being for export. aopbcwacoc duringtepnet appears, ilrs t pes l :es yesterday,nttaaivalg s r eehoN r y i ,ts N e : soer a eafe l :t tritb i deh f enecei d,enibeing whiched unable onlyo ff sttn t oeh h cieieTscruprehooanersdctsve morning,wi etah advices, s sef, American ibtttahhrene announced weather. lonly ccon sequence the afternoon of Saturday, the 16th ult., though the ship took her departure from Sandy Hook on the 20th ult. Similar dates have been received by the packet ship Cambridge, which also arrived in the Mer sey this morning ; but from neither are there any features of moment to communicate. The political portion of the accounts is entirely void, and the com mercial intelligence is but one day later. The mer chants were then awaiting the advices hence by the Cambria; and in the meanwhile the transactions were unimportant. The cotton market was quiet. In flour, sales of Michigan and Oswego had been made at 6 dollars 50 cents, and of Genessee at 6 dol lars 56 cents to 6 dollars 621 cents. Southern flour was firm, at 6 dollars 50 cents to 6 dollars 62} cents. Cornheld arr arrival 1 of 62 to the Cambridge 64cen tsfo r white, u a n n e d es y t e o ll u ow s a 61 8 53 h to 66 cents.

She will probably bring a sum of specie. Further arrivals of specie, though insignificant in amount, have been reported from South America. There is still, in regard to our suspended banks, no new feature to note.
