Notice is hereby given that, in pursuance of the Act 10 and 11 Victoria, ch , p. 42, the Business relating to the Duties on Hackney Carriages will be transacted at the Excise-office, Broad-street, In the city of London, on and after MONDAY, October 4, on which day the DUTY due must be PAID at that Office. TO THE DRIVERS OF HACKNEY CARRIAGES. COURT OF- - ALDERMEN. After the election of Lord Mayor for the yea: ensuing, a Court was held. Upon the motion of Alderman FiEEBEOTHER, thi thanks of the Court was unanimously voted to thi Rev. Halstead Cobden; chaplain to the Lord Mayor fur the excellent "sermon he had that day preach* before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, *' the parish chureh of St. Lawrence Jewry. . THE CITY POLICE AND THE "WEST LONDON UNMN: The report of the Commissioner of the City Polie< on the subject >f the complaint made by some mei'• candle men who reside, in the neighbourhood of the West Union Workhouse i , to the effect that the nois( and disturbance occasioned by the poor applicants I'm admission interfered essentially with the transactiOr, of business, was•brought:np. .• The complaint repre sented that some of the , police in that locality hid acted improperly, and Mr. Harvey's report directly contradicted the allegations upon that subject. Alderman COPELAND. said that, under circum stances of so extraordibary, a description, it was the duty of the Court to institute, an inquiry, at which the police implicated in. the:charge . might be present. Similar complaints had b6en - made at tile Guildhall police-court in • his presence, and it was rather sin gular that to the repetition of such complaints there should be so flat a negative from the Commissioner, particularly as they had been made by gentlemen of undoubted respectability. That the nuisance was in existence there was no doubt, and the police in spector and his assistant had been so obliging as to suggest to the Court a remedy with Out being at all asked their opinion upon the subject.—(A laugh.) In order that justice might be done, he should move that the Commissioner's report be referred to the General Purposes Committee. Alderman SYDNEY said he believed the paupers in the West London Union were very roughly treated, and that the rooms in the hailding , were not adapted to the numerous demands for shelter. From such causes it was but reasonable to expect a turbulent dissatisfaction would arise. to advantages from that triumph. On the contrary, ✓if he should fail in the attempt,-the Court was bound to perform the duty, however painful, of getting rid 0; e him altogether. e ..Alderman Lucas asked whether it would be pro . per in that c our t t o i nqu i re a b out t h e Colchester i election ?—(A laugh). For his part, he was of t 1 opinion that the House of Commons had something more to do with that question than the Court of Al dermen.—(Laughter). Alderman COPELAND—The Act of Parliament says _ the Comrniasioner shall wholly and solely attend to the duties of the office. I say he has gone to Col chester, first as a candidate, and afterwards as the r friend of Mr. Hardcastle, to aid in that gentleman's I election. He went without the permission of the . Lord Mayor away from his duties. If you think 1 there is in this conduct no cause of complaint, act accordingly. Ido not care what you do, but I know that the subject w ill b e di scusse d in Parliament, and . I shall be exonerated. Alderman SIDNEY—There is no proof whatever that Mr. Harvey has neglected his duties He has never neglected them, and he can astonish the court by the numerous signatures of the first houses in the City in warm approbation of the improved system upon which he regulates the force—a system which will challenge the metropolitan or any other police of the country. I consider that there is nothing at all in the charges insinuated, for there are no distinct written charges against him, and it is ridiculous t o bring vague and i n t ang ibl e complaints against an offiCer who fills a situation of so much public im portance. Sir C. Mattsnar.r. said that credit was due to Al derman Copeland for the honourable feeling exhibited by that gentleman towards the Court, but he thought it would be advisable in the Court to take the opinion of counsel as to the exercise of their power under the Act before they came to any resolution on a question which, if precipitately urged on, might end in sub jecting the whole body to ridicule.—(Laughter). lie thought the Act would not bear the construction which Alderman Copeland put upon it, and that their Com missioner, who in offering himself a candidate for Parliament and afterwards preferring his present con dition, verified the adage that "Brag was a good dog, but Holdfast was a better," was perfectly aware of the invalidity of the law as applicable to his case. After some observations from the LORD MAYOR AMERICAN AFFAIRS.' NEW YORK, SEPT. 15. You will have seen, probably, in some of the papers of this country a pretended apprehension that Spain is about to transfer Cuba to Great Britain, and, based upon this apprehension, an effort is making to alarm the American people as to the iligury their commerce, if het their political institnitns, wculd assuredly sustain by the adoption of such a measure It is probable that these movements of the press have passed wish you unnoticed, or as visionary specula tions not meriting serious consideration. What the ulterior object of these self-constituted guardians of the public interest may be is in the womb of time; but the immediate tendency of all such ill advised publications is to excite a prejudice, not only against your Government, but against your most active and intelligent men. Nor is it wise or prudent fur the friends of peace to treat with indifference and neglect these signs of the times. No matter under what specious garb they may be put forth, they have a meaning and an object in view. When political demagogues and heartless specu lators wished to seize and appropriate tottheir own use the public lands of Texas, they manufactured a tale that Great Britain was on the point of taking possession of that territory, and that if any time was lost in arranging the form, &c., of annexing Texas to the United States, it would be too late, as the British Government would have acted. The bait was intended for Mr. Tyler, then President, and with the simpli city of a gudgeon he swallowed it. But mark the result. No sooner had the fraud accomplished its intended object than the conspirators admitted it to be a fraud, and triumphed in its success. Mr. Houston, a senator of the United States, from Texas, published a letter stating the facts, and acknow ledging himself a pri nc ip a l ac t or in the transaction. Now, this affair is of such recent date that none can have forgotten it. What has once happened may happen again. I new call the attention of the British people to this subject, because I fear ultimately it may tend to interrupt the present harmony between Great Britain and the United States, because I think it is the design of a party here to involve these two nations in a conflict of arms, and because I know the enemies of peace are not scrupulous as to the means which they will use to accomplish their design. There has ever been a party in this country hostile to the British Government ; but that party originally had its existence in the revolutionary war, and sub sequently was nurtured by the impressment of Ameri cand seamen,justed b et aL i delother high contracting vexatious p difficulties, a r t l ieons . The g since a war piny to which I now refer is of a more recent dare, having its origin in causes far more selfish, and to some extent reckless and unprincipled. The active partizans of this new faction are the late prime movers and chieftains of the 54 deg. 40 win. Oregon men. Their object, and the means by which it was to be accomplished, are well understood on both sides of the Atlantic. Finding themselves discomfited in the acquisition of Oregon, they sought a new, but not more honourable"channel to wealth and notoriety. In circles presumed to he well-informed on this subject it is whispered and believed that the defeat in Oregon in some measure produced, certainly promoted, the Mexican war. In truth, it is said that the declaration " that war between Mexico and .....

It having, become known that certain persons engaged in the ma nufacture of Playing Cards are making attempts to promote the sale of Unstamped Cards, under the pretence of their being " waste," by reason of a corner of each card being cut off, the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes deem ft right to give notice, that a Penalty of Ton Pounds is imposed upon the vendor for every Pack of Cards sold by him not containing an Ace of Spades duly stomped, without regard to the corners being cut or not ; and that for every Pack of such Cards found in the possession of any person whatever, a Penalty of Five Pounds is imposed. The Commissioners give further notice, that every person found of fending herein win be proceeded against in the Court of Exchequer, for the Penalties Inc irrod. By order of the Board, THOMAS KEOWT, Assistant Secretary. Alderman LUCAS asked how it happened that such numbers applied for relief at such a season of the year, when such applicants were generally much dimin ished ? If it turned out that they came from IrelanJ, a great deal of allowance must be made for the au thorities at the union, for it was pretty well known that customers of that kind required not only to be sheltered, but to be kept altogether, and the expense which must be incurred by administering relief would be enormous, at the same time that the claimants were regular stickers, and could not by any ingenuity, be shaken off. H.? knew that vast numbers of the Irish who come to London from Liverpool were obliged to be lodged in St. Thomas's Hospital, in consequence of violent illness, and when they were cured the diffi culty in prevailing upon them to go out to make room for other patients was almost insuperable. Of late crowds of Irish had come over for the purpose of picking hops, but the number of native labourers to do that work in the county of Kent was adequate to the employment, and 1,400 to 1,500 poor Irish were thus continued in a destitute condition. Elect, who objected to the motion that it contained nothing specific, the question was referred to the law officers for their advice as to the power of thc Court under the Act of Parliament. The Court then adjourned. Alderman FAREBROTUER said it was quite evident that an inquiry should be made, and the motion was carried without opposition. THE COMMISSIONER OF CITY POLICE AND THE LATE ELECTIONS OF MARYLEBONE AND COLCHESTER. Alderman COFELAND rose, pursuant to notice, to move that the Court do take into consideration the conduct of the Commissioner of Police in respect of the late Marylebone election, and the evidence taken before the select committee of the Court of Common Council in relation to the police of the City. He made no apology for calling the attention of his brethren to the subject. It would be recollected that he had felt it his duty to make certain statements reflecting upon the management of the City police, and that in a committee those statements were proved to be correct, although the report of the committee was not such as he expected would have arisen from the investigation. It would also be recollected that the inquiry caused such a feeling in the Court of Common Council as to occasion the rejection of a motion for increasing the salary of the Commissioner. Believing that the Chief Magistrate would call the attention of the Court to the evidence taken before the committee, he had abstained from making any stir in the matter for some time, but finding that the subject had dropped, he determined to give the notice to which he now requested their attention, and he was the more strongly prompted to that course as he believed that the Legislature must take cognizance of the report of the committee, the evidence in which represented that stolen property and duplicates of stolen property were given, with the sanction of the Commissioner, as a reward to the officers. He should next call the at tention of the Court to the Police Act, which distinctly stated that the sole and undivided services of the police commissioner were to be devoted to the duties of the office, and tbat the commissioner should not take, nor attempt to take a seat in Parliament. It was clear, from the clause in that Act, that the citizens of London had an unquestionable claim upon Mr. Harvey's exclusive exertions, and that he could not be a candidate without giving up his place. It was clear that the duty of the Commissioner could not be performed while he was seeking another occupation. But how did that posi tion correspond with what appeared in . the public journals in the accounts of his attempts to obtain a seat for Colchester, which he afterwards, for some reason or other, declined ? How was it reconcilable with his efforts at Marylebone, where he even under went. the ordeal of the ballot, and assured the electors in the most solemn manner that he would, if elected, resign his office of Commissioner ? Here was un deniable ground of complaint. By such conduct Mr. Harvey had made himself amenable in heavy penal ties, independently of his responsibility to the Court, from the head of which he was bound to obtain per mission before he undertook to go to Colchester to assist in the election of Mr. Hardcastle after he had ;riven up the representation of that place in his own person. 'Who could be for a moment blamed for ac cusing the corporation of London of jobbing and other misconduct, when their Commissioner went to assist a aandidate for Parliamentary honours, and pledged him self to give up his own office upon being raised to a simi lar station? He (Alderman Copeland) had told an un varnished tale. Ile cared not w hether the question was, or was not, taken up by the Court. All he de sired to do was, to secure himself from imputation if a Parliamentary inquiry should take place. He could iay, that whatever might occur, he was blameless. He called upon his brother aldermen to take up the ques ion ; and if they did not, and should afterwards have cause to regret their supineness, they must not cast any part of the censure which would be cast upon them on his shoulders. The disinclination of the Commissioner to be guided or influenced by anything which fell from the Court was evident from the fact that, although the impropriety of the employment of policemen by the Commissioner as domestic servants was strongly alluded to in the report of the com mittee, a policeman named Brett was actually at that very moment in his service, at a salary of '223. per week. Alderman Copeland concluded by expressing his wish either that the subject he considered by the Court, or referred to a select committee to consider and report upon it. Alderman SIDNEY admitted that there were cir cumstances in the transactions alluded to by Alder man Copeland deserving of inquiry; but he' must do the justice to the Commissioner to say that the Court of Aldermen had decided by a considerable majority (13 to 3) that he was under paid, and that his salary ought to be raised from 8001. to 1,0001. a year, al though most of the very charges now brought against him by Alderman Copeland had been inves tigated by the members. In a Committee of the Common Council a decision to the same effect had taken place. So doubt that decision was negatived by a large majority in the Court of Common Coun cil j but then the charges against him were pro nounced to be completely frivolous ; and in the Court of Aldermen the accusations were considered equally groundless and untenable. As to the Commissioner's extraordinary conduct at Marylebone, ho did not mean at all to apologize for that most singular eccen tricity. The public had already pretty intelligibly decided upon the merits of that course ; but with regard to the charges which Alderman Copeland had repeated, the two Courts had already determined that they were remarkable for nothing but their weakness. the United States existed" was made to pacify, if not sitisfy, the advocates of 54 deg. 40 min., as it opened a new channel "for enterprising young men." On this subject something may hereafter be said. At present it is proper to remark that some truly patriotic citizens, from the purest motives, but under a mis taken view of the question, are sounding the idle rumour to which I have adverted. To these 54 deg. 40 min. men are to be added a number of restless spirits, exiles from Great Britain, whose whole lives are devoted to mischief-making. These, with a few similar characters, constitute the majority of this war party, few in number, yet sufficiently numerous to create and circulate strong prejudices, which ought to be studiously guarded against, in both Great Britain and the United States, by the friends of peace. From Mexico w e have numerous interesting and important, but conflicting rumours. That on the largest scale states that General Scott engaged the Mexican army for two days ; that he lost between 1,200 and 1,500 men, while he slaughtered from 4,000 to 6,000 Mexicans. Other accounts state that there was but little fighting, and that the enemy had asked a suspension of hostilities, preparatory to a discussion of the terms offered by Mr. Trist. Among the most ridiculous of the rumours is one that General Scott had leen chosen President or Governor of the city of Mexico. I have thus briefly given you a few of the rumours of the day. _ _ _ is It is universally conceded that there has been an action, in which the Americans were victorious ; that the city of Mexico, if not actually in the possession of General Scott, was in such a condition that he could cuter it without opposition whenever he pleas( d. ro repeat the rumours on this subject would be an idle waste of time. On the real state of facts thcre is no settled opinion. All is conjecture. Of Pore, and his whereabouts we hear nothing since he le.z Vera Cruz. It is confidently asserted that three distinct sets , f instructions have been sent to Mr. Trist—the firt-;, the most liberal to Mexico; the third, the most strin gent and oppressive to that people. It is understo,, that the third has been captured by the Alexi= These details, however, must be ranked with oth( r rumours on the subject of American affairs. The Vermont election has resulted in a greatly diminished triumph to the Whig party. That lo is ascribed to other causes than politics. The stag., however, is Whig. The great difficulty has be( n the temperance question. To this subject I refer some time since, and predicte I this result. The License Law, which prevents the sale of spirituous liquors in small quantities, is a most odious Act, and consequently has become very unpopular. If not totally abandoned, it will act as a mill-stone around the neck of the Whig party. All attempts in a free country to make men moral or virtuous by means of penal statutes must prove abortive. In the United States it is breaking down the Whig party, and greatly injuring the temperance cause. Independent men revolt at compulsion and shackles to accomplish even a good. The Convention of the state of Illinois have agreed to a new constitution. It contains several improve. ments, one of which is, that hereafter none but citizens of the United States, having resided twelve months within the state, shall have a right to vote at any election. Heretofore aliens, after a residence of six months, voted. The vote was—Ayes, 131 ; Noes, 7. Cornwall, in Upper Canada, has been visited by a most terrific thunder storm and tornado early in the present month. Only one life, so far as we are in formed, was lost. The destruction of property, however, is said to have been very great. —Times. A GENEVESE TRAVELLER. POSITION OF ABD-EL-KADER. GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 12.—Hadj Abd-el-Kader is at present encamped about twenty miles from Melilla, and twelve miles inland from a place marked on marine charts " Cabadanah," opposite the Zaffarin Islands. The regular force he has now with him consists of about 1,500 horse and 800 foot soldiers and these, it is acknowledged by the Spanish offic ers of the Melilla garrison, who all went out respects to the Emir during his stay in their n bourhood last month, are effective well-arm, men. bl His force, in case of need, would be considerably but to pay . their these are best imperfeetlY strengthened by the accession of fr d ien fo d u ly nd trth French mon7 M a oo Y rs) are distributed of the coast. ar • ined vir " amongst the tribes by their steamergrehanaslel hf a l: land:s t ts be shores of the Reef, who vaunt MuleY ,the n umber of (the present Sultan's) ber of his troops, and r t t a y lk of o t i he h E is m im ir - , offending i w n g i with o t hepove powerful a monarch; an d the nthgaserco°frnoPfaf w ho is, they say, marc hin g northwards with an army of 200, 000 men , t o crush the tribes who have rebelled mense we d s a l against him, and lead Abd-el - Kader in chains to Morocco. These and other such tales have acted upon the minds of this savage and ignorant people. and they are at present afraid to countenance the Emir, and pretend great loyalty for the reigning Sul tan ; still they have taken no active part against him ; and the story current here, and circulated with so much industry by the French Consul, of his having been defeated, and deprived of his wives and stores, is only a tale trumped up by French agents, to suit their own purposes ; no attack has been made upon him, or his, by any tribe in the Reef; the Sultan has no troops beyond Taza, and they are to insignificant to be feared. Notwithstanding the immense influence which the Emir unquestionably possesses over the minds of his people, his present position, in my opi nion, is untenable, and unless he receive some support and countenance from abroad he must ere long siol( under the Sultan's power, actively backed as that is by French gold and influence, and thus Africa will lose her brightest ornament, and France be delivered from a bitter and determined foe. The only foundation for the report mentioned above is the fact that a few days ago the Sultan fell upon the small remnant of the tribe of Beu-Amri (formerly adherents of the Emir, but who sought the Shereefian protection some fourteen months since, and were located by the Imperial order near Mehe- Alderman FARM:MOTHER thought it odd that Al dermaa Sidney should leave the charges unans veered, and consider that he had done all that was necessary in saying that the Commissioner's salary was not sufficiently large. The Court of Common Council thought, and so it appeared from the sequel Mr. Harvey thought too, that 8001. a year was enough, for he preferred the office of Commissioner with that salary to a seat in Parliament without any salary at 5 11.__(A laugh.) He admired the Commissioner's judgment as exhibited in that decision. He did not see how so serious a matter as the subject before the Court really was could be_passed over slightly. It was to be considered that Alderman Copebm.l had introduced fresh charges, and certainly when public officers were accused it was indispensable for the et 4, of justice that the accusations should be openly made, and that opportunities should be afforded for answer ing those accusations as openly.--(Hear, hear.)

MONEY MARKET mud CITY NEWS. CITY, WIZDNESDAY EVENING The failure of Fry, Griffiths, and Co., indigo and colonial brokers, has been ann,:iunced to-day. The amount of their liabilities has not been stated, but it is believed that it must be very considerable. The private letters by the Caledonia indicate the prevalence of considerable uneasiness in the. New York money market, consequent upun the failure of Prim; Ward, and Co. By some parties their liabili ties are stated at 900,000 dollars, of which 400,000 consist of deposits. The possibility of a resumption appears in no case to have been entertained, except on the supposition that the steamer of the 4th of September, from Liverpool, mi g ht b r i ng advice; of a considerable rise in our corn-markets; and as the downward course of our prices continued without intermission until after her departure, it is of course out of the question to hope that the firm can recover itself. One writer estimates their as sets as likely to yield from 75 to 80 cents in the dollar, and by another it is observed, "From all I hear about their business, I feel certain that they cannot resume, nor even pay in full." It is added, that in New York the firm had been greatly over estimated in point of wealth. We are glad to have it in our power to state that no one in this country is likely to suffer by the suspension. It will be re membered, that when the old house of Prime, Ward, 1 1 and King, was dissolved in January last, two separate houses were formed-, one by Mr. Prime, under the firm of Prime, Ward, and Co., and the other by Mr. King, und er th e fi rm o f J ames G . Ki ng and Sons. Since that time the principal correspondents i.)f the old house have transacted their business with the latter firm, and hence it is understood that from the present failure no loss whatever will be sustained. It will be observed that, owing to the distrust which prevailed at New York, the rate charged for bills by the leading houses had advanced, previously to the sailing of the steamer, to 109. This, how ever, is below the rate at w hi c h it w ill prove pro fitable to send gold, as will be seen by the following calculations Sovereigns of average weight may be con sidered to be worth in Ili I.VV York (at the legal price per penny weight) about 4 dolls. 84ic. each, which is equal to an exchange of 109 Add freight and insurance, estimated at 1i per cent. 110 f The drafts drawn against a consignment would be at 60 days' sight; consequently, there is a gain to the shipper of two months' interest over here, which, at 6 per cent. per annum, ...

It must be mentioned, however, that this statement proceeds from a con siderable holder of breadstuffs. Letters from Manchester to-day report further failures.

THE VlPER.—These beautiful but dangerous rep ' tiles literally swarm on the moots of Derbyshire, espe cially betwixt Chesterfield and Darley. The bite of the viper is often attended with th e mos t alarmin g rrtsults. islt not, perhap3. generally known chat it never attacks its enemy but when partly in an erect posture , darting onits object in a manner similar to a bird of grey. A proof of this assertion the writer of this had once an opportunity of witnessing. A short time ago a. viper was observed coiled up on a part of the highway called Jebb's Firs," apparently asleep, nor did it appear to be in any way disturbed from its seeming lethargy until the arrival of a horse and cart, when the viper arose upon its tail and bounded several feet in the air, no doubt with an intent of seizing the animal by the mouth. The horse, at the same time, showed evident signs of great fear and excitement. Thep erson who Arove the horse, after some trouble, managto kill the reptile, which was reckoned a fine specimen of its kind. —Derby Mercury. STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS lIOT.—Two servants, who had lived many years together with an old gentle man in Northamptonshire, were one evening sitting by the kitchen fire, when the male said to the female, " Hannah, you and I have lived many years together, and been very comfortable ; master gets very old and shakey, and can't last long; and when he dies we shouldn't like to part. So suppose we be married; we've saved a bit of money a pie ce, and when master's gone should do on a bit of land. What sayest, yes or no, at once?" Hannah replied, " No, Peter, I'd rather not." Peter said no more about i t . The next night the same parties sat in the same place. After a little time Hannah said, "Peter, I've been thinking about what you said las.t night, and have altered my mind." Peter answered in three words, " So have I." One of those fulminating bombs which have of late been so frequently spoken of, exploded last evening in front of the Theatre flistorique. As usual, a number of bits of paper were i m mediately scattered a w out, which the crowd hastened to pick up. On each as printed, " Let us commit acts of incendiari,m until there be no further opposition to a just division of land and crops." —Galianani. A THRIFTY Winow.—Widow Marshall, residing at Thornhill, near Johnstone, aged 96, has this as on former seasons cut her own corn and barley, binding and stooking it single-handed.

Passengers by the Tamer lauded here, Captain and Mrs. Carr, Miss Coates, and Mr. Miles, who has a pair of moose deer from Java, the first of the kind, it is said, ever brought to England alive. They are about six inches high. in good condition, and will no doubt excite the attention f naturalists. ...

But now there needed not the s ightest fuss, Fur Mr. Tenant met the landlord thus: Good morning, Mr. Landlord, pray walk in, For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin. About a year ago, or maybe less, I set to work to try and save in dress, And having from my neighbours understood That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good, I made a purchase from their stock of stocks, And put the savings in a money box. Here the good tenant on the table r. Ilis gains by MOSES—copper, silver gold, And having counted it he smiled to view Enough to pay his rent and taxes too. Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes. LINI: OF efilcV6. MADE TO MEASURE,.

A , R R I A G E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right deternyne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret Un corn proshr4 hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness a;,d social content. The dowry should not he the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Garland steam packet, Master-Commanding (Act.) Luke Smithett, sailed early this morning to resume her station on ti:e Dower and Calais district The 2Eolus, provision depot, Master Commanding J. Thomas, arrived to-day from Cork. The dockyard battalions concluded their drill for the summer last evening, on whicli occasion Mr. John Fincham, the Master Shipwright, their Lieute nant-Colonel, gave each man biscuit and cheese, and a pint of strong ale.

The Calliope, 26, Captain Stanley, was at Wellington on the 18th of March ; the Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander lioseason, was at Auck land, New Zealand, on the 25th ; as were the Castor, 26, Captain Graham, and the Racehorse, 18, Com mander Hay—all well. Woobwicit, SEPT. 29.—The Fisgard, 42 guns, Captain John A. Duntze, was inspected yesterday by Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, who expressed his approbation of her excellent condition, and the cleanly appearance of the men and their fine frigate, after being so long on a foreign station. The greater number of the men are remarkably robust and healthy, and when paid off, which will be on Monday next, intend having a merry cruise on shore, and then to enter themselves for active service again. Captain Duntze has brought home two fine pumas, or South American lions. They were obtained when about a month old and not larger than a domestic cat, and are now between eight and nine months old, and in ex cellent health. Near these animals is one of those rare birds the condor of South America, in fine plu mage and excellent condition. The guns of the Fisgard have been taken out of her to-day, and con veyed in barges to the Royal Arnen9.l, and the frigate is being rapidly unrigged preparatory to her being paid off. Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C.B: Director of the Foundry D epar t ment ; Li eutena nt:Colonel Gordon, Director of the Carriage Department; Lieutenant- Colonel Colquhoun, of the same department ; and Major Palliser, of the Proof Department, assembled to-day at two o'clock to witness experiments with Mr. Haig's patent forge and fan blast, for producing great heat with manual labour only. The first expe riment was made to ascertain its capabilities compared with the common smith's bellows and forge attached to the troops of Royal Horse Artillery and field bat teries when employed in active service, and it was shown that Mr. Haig's plan was not only efficient for all that the bellows and smith's forge could accom plish, but its far greater advantages were shown by a broken iron axle of a field carriage being brought to an excellent welding heat and welded in 25 minutes. A similar result could not have been effected with the usual smith's forge. The next experiment was made in the dial-square of the foundry department, two of Mr. Haig's machines being placed adjoining a fur nace for fusing iron or cast metal, one of the machines being worked by a lever handle, and the other by a crank handle. An excellent casting was soon ob taMed, and the crank-lvtndl , d machine shown to be the best and easiest worked. An experiment also took place to ascertain the efficiency of the fan-blast in making shot red hot, and in eight minutes 12 pounders were made red hot, and ready for firing The invention is very portable, and suitable for ships and war-steamers, and will be a great advantage in the field, and at foreign stations where small parties of artillerymen are detached.
