rt '4l Rte, " AND r' 47 11. E T k# COIVIATEROTAL IMELLIGENCEI CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool state the Cotton mar ket ,yesterday closed very firmly, and the values of all descriptions have advanced. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share market closed with a dull appearance, and prices of all the leading stocks were considerably lower than on Tuesday. The business of the week in. the markets for foreign and colonial produce has' been partially re stricted through the intervention of the Fast-day, but most articles have been in steady request at previous Values. The public sales of sugar have proceeded rather heavily, but particular kinds are dearer. Coffee is rather dull, and a large quantity offered publicly was withdrawn. . Tea remains quiet ; cocoa firm, and for rum there is a verylimited enquiry. Rice continues steady ; and the unfavourable reports as to the potato crop have induced a speculative enquiry. About the usual business has been done in spices, but no material change in prices has occurred. Tallow is firmer, P.Y.C. being 58s. 3d. per cwt. on the spot. The advance in the rate of discount will no doubt tend to retard transactions, but the speculative dealing for some time past has been very limited, and con fined to articles that have been specially influenced, such as saltpetre, and India products. The de mand is chiefly for home and immediate use. Financial affairs in Turkey are becoming more and more unfavourable, and the situation of the Government is wretchedly embarrassed. Small loans are stated to be secured by the Sultan for the immediate wants of the State, and the rates of interest paid for the accommodation are at once usurious and humiliating. Issues of paper money are freely resorted to, and.it has receded to 20 per cent. discount. There can be no doubt that a loan on a large scale would be att em pt e d w i t h ou t t h e least delay if there was the faintest prospect of suc cess. When the principal money markets, a short time since, presented' ndications of returning ease, which, by the by, have not .proved permanent, the subject was mooted, but as it was clear that any proposition would meet with no en- couragement, the matter was 'allowed to re • main in abeyance. Now, that increased stringency is experienced in London Hamburg, Berlin, &c., the chance of any successful operation is even more remote, so that Turkish finance is not likely to im prove for some time to come. Even in France the tendency is again unsatisfactory, and the late measure of relief, viz., the extension of loans on shares, &c., it is thought will be speedily abrogated. Throughout the Continent, therefore, in America and at home, the situation of financial affairs is assuming a perturbed appearance. The monthly return issued by the Bank of France, and completed to yesterday, presents an unsatisfactory alteration in its general condition. The bullion has been trenched upon to the extent of 896,5641., parfly in consequence, no doubt, of the payment of the dividends on the 4 per Cent. Rentes, which always absorbs a large amount of specie. An extension has also been made to the discount operations, the securities having increased 1,032,5881, and the advances in stock and shares represent a larger total than in the preceding mo n th. This statement, th ere fore, confirms the less satis factory tendency of the French Money Market. The general demand for discount accommodation has not abated, in consequence of the alteration in the rate at the Bank, and 6 per cent. is charged for the best qualities of commercial bills. At the meeting of the Commercial Gas Company, held to-day, a dividend was declared fur the half year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The market for English Securities has been very heavy all the morning, but prices are now a shade firmer. Besides the uneasiness felt in connection with India, the unsettled condition of monetary affairs produces a gloomy feeling. Sales of stock have consequently been made, but some of the 'Bears have deemed it prudent to make sure of their profits, and their purchases, for this purpose, have strengthened the market. Consols for transfer and the 14th inst. have been 89 k 11, and for the November account, 89i They are now 89i and 89 90 respectively. Ex chequer Bills are Bs. to ss. discount and the Bonds, 98g. India Bonds are 20s. discount. Rather a large business has been done in Foreign Securities, and most of the quotations are flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents, have been . 93, but they are now 931 1. The 4 per Cents. are 981 99, and the other stocks dealt in are marked as follows : Chilian 6 per Cents., 102 ; Mexican 3 per Cent s ., 20 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 77 • Russian 4-h. per Cents., 94 ; ; S pan i sh 3 per Cents:Deferred, 25g ; ditto Passive, 6 ; Venezuela 41 per Cents., 27 ; and Dutch 4 per - Cents. 98.

This being the day appointed for the hearing of the opposition of the Vecry of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to the renewal of the license for Cremorne Gardens, the court was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest pre vailed. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opposition to the renewal of the license, opened the case, and urged the bench to refuse the license on the ground that the gardens, owing to the manner in which they were con ducted, had become a nuisance to the neighbourhood. He also said the surrounding property had become so depreciated in value that serious loss had been entailed upon the ♦estry of Saint Luke's, Chelsea. It was the practice cf keeping the gardens open until an advanced hour in the morning, and, after the fire wotk4, a class of visitors arrive who kept the neigh bourhood in a state of uproar until nearly four o'clock. The vestry of Chelsea, with a view to put an end to such a state of things, bad proposed to Mr. Simpson to close the girdens,at 12 o'clock at night, but the proposition bad been refused, and therefore the present proceedings were adopted. The learned sergeant then called a number of wit nesses, who stated that up to 12 o'clock at night there was nothing to complain of in the roasagement of the gardens, but after that hour, and till a very advanced hour of. the morning, the neighbourhood was in a state of great upruar and c ,nfusion. The Chairman said he thought it would save time if he stated what he thought was the opinion of the bench, that arrangements should be entered into with Mr. Simp son to admit no new visitors afrer 12 o'clock. • A Magistrate dissented from such aproposition beino• ° considered to be the u nan i mous - op i n i on o f t h e b enc h. He did not think that any other condition than that laid down by the law should be imposed on Mr:Simpson. The Chairman said he did not say it was the unani mous opinion of the bench, but of the majority. Mr. Edwin James, Q C., who appeared for Mr. Simp son, said, as such a proposition had been thrown out by the chairman, be thought it but right that counsel should retire and see whether any arrangement could be come to. If no resu:t was arrived at, then the hear ing of evidence could be proceeded with. The learned gentlemen engaged in the case then loft the court, and after a short absence they returned into court. - Mr. Edwin James informed the bench that the con ference had been attended with no practical result. Mr. Sergt. Ballantine said the terms he had proposed to his learned friend were, that Cremorne Gardens should be treated precisely in te same manner as the Grecian Saloon and ilighbury Bain, v!z., that the gar dens be closed:and cleared by 12 o'clock every evening Mr. Ed win James said such a proceeding would utterly ruin his client. On the part of Mr. Simpson he was prepared to enter into arrangements that the fireworks should be discharged at 11 o'clock; that no new visitors should be admitted after one, and that the gardens should be closed at two. Mr. Byng, magistrate, proposed that Mr. Simpson's ,erms be assented to. Mr. E. Jamey said it was perfectly legal for the bench :o pursue such a course. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine refused to assent to such terms, and the examination of witnesses was then pro ceeded witt.. All camplained of the noise occasioned by the cabs conveying the visitors from the gardens, and some said their houe property had decreased in value in consequence of their proximity to Cremorne.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—John Smith, a Fnlesn3an at a dressing-case mauufacturtr3, and George Francis, an attorney's clerk, were charged before Mr. Bingham with assauPing the police while in the execu- tionof their duty. Police•constable 185 C stated that about 1 o'clock this morning he was in Tichbourne-street, where he saw the prisoner Smith knocking with great violence at the door Gf a coffeehouse into which he had been refused admis- sion. Seeing that he was the worse for liquor, he tried to persuade him to go home. Instead of taking this advice he persi.sted in knocking at the door so as to alarm all the neighbourhood. Witness thereupon took him into custody, and was conveying him to the station when he, with a stick which he'llad in his hand, loaded at the end, struck him a violent blow on the back of his head, which for a moment nearly stunned him ; he still, however, kept hold of the prisoner till Jennings, 316 A, came up to hie aid. The other prisoner then made his appearance, and tried to rescue Smith from custody, and, in so doing, struck at Jennings twice, but did not hit him. They were both, alter a great deal of resistance, eventually lodged in the station. Neither of the prisoners said anything in answer to the charge. Mr. Bingham fined Smith 41. ' or one month ; and Francis 10s., or N even d ays to the House of Correction. THAMES. DANGERS IN THS COMMERCIAL-ROAD. —John Thomas, a waggoner, was IR, ugh% before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk, and while in that st►te driving two horses and a waggon in a reckle3s manner in the Commercial• row, Joseph Monks, a pclice constable, No. 327 K, stated that yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner, who was very much intoxicated, in charge of a waggon and two horses in the Commerci . :l-ro a d Ztst, and proceeding to wards the West India Deck.

Monks said the berlain, had dismissed him, and would nev er em p lo y Prisoner' s mas t er , Mr, Joseph Cham him again.

Mr. William West, a tradesman, was next charged with recklessly and furiously driving his borse and cart she he was in a state cf intox:cation, in the Commer cial-road. Hies nger, No. 412 K, said th e prisoner waq very drunk, and his horse was running up and down the road to the danger of passengers. The prisoner was quite helpless.

Inspector Rapsey, of the G division of the metropolitan poll3e, stated that on the evening in question he was Riding up Stay-lAne, Wandsworth, when he saw the man surrounded by some Persons, and bleeding very much from the throat. He was immediately conveyed on a apt ing cert to a surgeon',., at W an d swor th, a nd from thence to the ab ove hospital. He told the inspec tor that he had done it with his p en k n i fe, which he bad put up to the hilt in his throat, and regretted that it was not sharp enough. The knife Was found in his pocket clotted with blood. He told the surgeon at the hospital, which was also confirmed by hi s wife, that he had an idea that some of hie shopmates would kill him. He had been in a very melancholy state of mind for some [time, and had also been unable to procure employment. The jury gave a verdict in accordance with the above facts. . - cf: (7' RAILWAY. oc r Le)11;) slf AND NORTH-WESTERN PECIAL MEETING (THIS DA.Y).—POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH DUBLIN. A special meeting of the proprietors of the London and North-Western Railway was held this afternoon, at the Euston Station, for the purpose of authorising agree• meets with the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company, or with all or any of the shareholders in such last-mentioned company, with respect to the conversion of all or any of the shares, or all o: any part of the stock, of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Compels) into ordinary stock of the London and North Wester: Railway Company ; for authorising the London and North-Western Railway Company to subscribe towards, and to acquire and take shares iu, the Buxton Extension Capital of the Stockport, Disley, and Whaleybridge Railway , Company, to an extent to be authorised by the meeting, not exceeding in the whole 105,0001. ; to re ceive the heads of a contract, approved by the Govern ment, to be entered into between her Maj -sty's Post master-General and the London and North-Western and Chester and Helybead Railway Company, and the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, for the conveyance of the mails between London and Kingston ; and also tie submit to the proprietor© an agreement for the purchase by the London and North-Western Rad way Company of the Easton and Victoria hotels, situate respectively in and adjoining to Euston-equare, under the powers conferred upon the company by Act of Parliament. The Marquis of Chandos, chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, said that during last session parliamentary sanction was obtained for the conversion of the shares or stock of the Shropshire Union Company into shares or stock of the London and Norte- Western Company, which was merely carrying out a previous arrangement ; and that the conversion of the shares or stock authorised by the powers referred to would not involve any additional pay went or liability on the part of this company. The extension authorised last session of the Stoc. port Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway will bring the town of Buxton into immediate connection with the lines of this company. The directrirs, for the same reasons which induced them to take an interest in the original linei; and which led the consultation committee to the conclUsion (stated in their report) "that the board, under the cironmstances then existing, acted prudently in making arrangements to work the line, arid for teeing the portion ot capital . subsequently authorised by Parlia ment," recommend that the capital for the extension lino be taken to the extent authorised by Parliament, 105,0001., and that, when completed, the line be worked on the same terms as the Stockport and Disley line. As 'intimated by the directors in the last half-yearly report, they were now enabled to state that the long pending negotiation with the Government for the im provement of the Irish passenger and postal communi cation had resulted in an agreement as to the conditions of a contract between the Postmaster-General and the united companies (London and North-Western, Chester and Holyhead, and City of Dublin), under the act of 1855, for • a ne w postal and passenger service between London and Kingstown. The contract was for 14 years subject to a power of the Government at any time after five years to put an end to the contract, if they have reason to be die atisfied with the manner in which it was generally performed ; in which event the Government would purchase the packets at a pries to reimburse the net cost, to be deter mined by arbitration. The existing contract with the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company was to termina e when the new contract took effee. There were to be provided four packets, each being not less thati 300 feet long, 1,700 tons measurement, and of such construction as would be approved by the Government as being suitable for this improved service, and for the accommodation of the public. There are to be four communications--two eaca way daily—between London and Kingstown in eleven hours, subject to penal ties for delay, except in certain cases, when arising from causes beyond the control of the companies. Nothing contained in the contract was to be interpreted to inter fere with the rights of the Postmaster-Geuer at, or of ehe companies under the existing agreements or contracts with the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, and with the London and Nor h Western Railway Com pany, excepting so far as the establishment of these new trains would render the service under such contracts or agreements unnecessary. The neve service was to commence within two years from the execution of the contract. By agreement between the companies, the necessary capital, estimated at 300,0001., was to be provided equally by the London and North Western and City ot Dublin Steam packet Companies. Tuis company had the option of being hall-owners and managers of the steam packets to be provided under this contract. The directors, however, deemed it more expedient, to arrange with the City of Dublin Company for the performance of the sea portion of the service— this company being relieved in respect thereof— the vessels being • available and at the disposal of this company for the development of passenger traffic, as fully as if they were its own property. Under this arrangement, the proportion of the capital to be provided for the construction of the steamboats by the London and North-Western Company would be ad vanced as a loan, bearing interest at 5 per cent., on the security of the four packets (costing double the amount ot the advance), and of the receipts for traffic earned by the steanivessels. The capital so advanced would be repaid by-annual instalments. For the land service, there was to be paid annually the suns of 20,0001., inde pendent of and in addition to the amount now paid to the London and North-Western company under their present general contract, and the sum of 30,0001. now paid an nually to the Cheater and Holyhead Company under the existing arrangement between that Company and the Government would continue to be so paid ; which sum of 30,000/. would, during the existence of this con• tract, include, in addition to the service now performed in respect to it, the service herein provided for, By a recent Act of Parliament, the company were empowered to provide hotel accommodation in the vicinity of their London terminus. The Euston and Victoria Hotels, built, in 1839, by an hotel company, composed principally of shareholders in the then London and Birmingham Railway, are now let on lease, which expires in 1861. In view of this event, and in order to insure the hotels being managed under regulations and arrangements - genera 1:, so as to afford the greatest possible accommodation to travellers using the lines of this company, the directors have deemed it expedient to purchase the buildings (the com pany already possessing the freehold) for 55,0001. The rent payable ender the existing lease suffi:ee to pay a full interest upon the amount of the purchase money. They were let at 3,5001. per annum. In answer to a question The noble CHAIRMAN said that the Disley extension would be ninetliles, and the estimated coat of conetruc from 170,0001. to 180,000/. The company was to take up shares in the extension to the extent of 105,0001. After a short discussion resolutions for carrying out the objects of the meeting were agreed t•, after taking a poll on the resolution relative to the Disley branch. In answer to a question The noble CHAIRMAN said that the company were not borrowing money, and any flun nations in the shares could only be attributed to stock jobbing. The company was very easy in respect of money matters. The meeting then terminated. LONDON AND MIDDLESEX ARCIIELOLOGICAL SOCIETY. —The members and friends of thi s s oc i e t y , net on Mon day to the number of several hundreds at Hampton Court Palace, for the purpose of inspecti ng the various objects of interest which abound in that favourite loca lity. They assembled at half-past 12 o'clock in the great hall, where they were addressed by the Rev. T. Hugo, who afterwards conducted them over the building, and pointed out to their notice the objects which needed or deserved remark. The palace stood on what WAN in the first instance a domain b longing to the Knights H osp.- tellers of St. John of Jerusalem. Cardinal Woisey AUC. ceeded in obtaining a grant of it, and in the year 1515 commenced the erection of an edifice, which he designed on a scale 3f almo,t unparalleled magnificence. After his fall, however, Henry VIII., with a view, no doubt, to remove from the palace some portion- of its founder's prestige, demolished the great hall and chapel, and re placed them with erections of his own. The popular belief which attributes to the Cardinal the erection of the present hall is therefore incorrect. The present hall was the work of Henry, and was in all probability in no way superior, but rather the contrary, to that of the Genii- . nal, whose taste and architectural skill were notorious. In the withdrawing-room, as in the hell itself, attention was specially called to the tapestry, which is among the finest in England. The fireplace is frequently considered of the time of Elizabeth, but was pronounced by the reverend cicerone to be principally, if not entirely, of that of Wiliam and Mary. The portrait of Wolsey, which is usually said to be the only authentic likeness of him in existence, Mr. Hugo did not scruple to stigmatise as a copy, which he did not believe to be 150 yesre ohs. Tne next part of the building which was noticed was the chapel. The walls and roof of this edifice are of the time of Henry VIII , but the interior has been entirely re modelled by Sir Christopher Wren, who lined the al.art mont with Palladian carpenter's work, enthusiastically lauded by Mr. Hugo, and profusely ornamented it with splendid carvings by Grinlin Gibbons. The ill effect of the polychromed ceding was owing, according to some supplemental observations of Mr. Godwin, to the absence of stained gla , s from the win dows. After leaving th chapel Mr. conducted the company through the ancient offices, the chapel. court, kitchen-court, racket-lane, &c., and thence over the newer portion of the palace erected by Sir Christo• Aber Wren, of whom he appeared to be a most zealous admirer. Indeed, he avowed a prefer (nee for that archi tect's work over many portions of the older palace ; for in the last years of Henry VIII. Gothic architecture had become a mere sham, and sham Gothic 300 years ago, like sham Gothic now, was a detestable and miserable thing. At the same time it was only fair to say that in all probability the finest portions of the earlier work were no longer in existence. The picture gallerie-, the private gardens, the vine, and the superb, but little known, iron railings of the time of William and Mary, between the bowling-green and the park, were drily visited and commented on. After a vote of cor dial thanks to the rev. leader and the other member, of council who had attended the meeting and made the anticipatory arrangements, the compar.y separated, hi g hly delighted with the intellectual treat which had been afforded to thew. 100 Bnckghamsh. 100 ClydetealoJc. all ,Col.Stour Vy. 100 E.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—In the course of a very few days a most important thoroughfare in the East end of London will be thrown open for vehicles, and by its formation a direct lino of communication will be completed from the neighbourhood of the St. Katha rine and other docks lower down, to the Eastern Coun ties Railway. The road in question is a continuation of one for some time partially finished, running from \Vhitechapel High-street to the western side of Spital &life-market, and now comes int) Shoreditch upon the City side of the Eastern Counties Station, where another and most commodious entrance-gate has already been constructed. Some idea of the width of the entrance to this street may be formed when it is stated that no fewer than seven shops facing into High-street. Shoreditch, were pulled down to make way for it. The width of the road and footway is about the same as that leading from FarringtTddohnen-aastrt,rr,eye,ettiiiitsitornaCdlerpkaesitiwtll through a tuiserabl l(; It n eighbourhood northi e intended side o the hnultimatelyof oStandardld houses .- in the rear, and effect a junction with the City -road near th , e eew t n u h r i line need e o d f , co h m as m b u e n e i n ca c t o io m n u f i :r ne v ed eh b ic e l tews lon a g nd be t e h n e City.

The fourn - cil of St: Petersburg of Ist con tains the following account, communicated by order of the Minister'of Marine, of the recent loss of a vessel of the line, the Lefort "It has pleased Providence I should participate .in one of the greatest disasters that can happen at sea, and to make me a witness of the instantaneous and inexplicable loss of one of the vessels in my fleet. A few minute; have suttic,ed fora beautiful ship of the line, thoroughly seaworthy, to be en gulfed by the waves during a tempestuous night. Not a cry of distress reached us from the sceno of the disaster,:although we were but 4 cables' length distant to windward. No one survives to ext.lain to us the cause of this unparalleled catastrophe. "On the 28th August (Sept. 9) four ships of the line, the Imperatrice Alexandra, the Vladimir, r. the Lefort of 84 guns, and the Pamiat Asova, of 74 guns, which were in the port of Revel, received • orders to arm and return to CronMtadt. Ten days afterwards the Pamiat Asova quitted the roads, towed by a steam-frigate. The three other vessels were ready to set sail two days later ;- they Lad , water and provisions for a month, and their stowage was the same as at the end of their cruise in the preceding year ; the Lefort was thoroughly repaired at Cronaradt in 1852. I had received instructions t profit by the favourable weather to set sail, with out waiting for the steam-tugs. On the 9(1 of Sept. (21st) I got under sail with beautiful weather and a favourable breeze from S.S. W., the barome- , ter marking 29.79 Eogli-h. • A little later the a ind f eshened, and abreast of the island of Rothskar we . were obliged to take in two reefs in the topsails. At half-past 8 p.m., after passing the - island of Hochland, the fleet was making more than eleven knots. The'sviud increasing ' I ordered a thi r d, an d then a fourth reef to be taken in. The barometer being at 29.15, and the weather foggy, wo sailed as close as possible to the wind, endeavouring to keep our course by short tacks, until morning ; each time I gave the signal for the manoeuvre. At half past.ll the wind shifted to the west, at midnight to the N.W., and at four o'clock to the north, with squalls and snow. At daybreak we were near the island of Grand-Tutors. The fleet was on the star- board tack, the Imperatrice Alexandra a little to windward, and the Vladimir in the wake of the Lefort, with four reefs in her topsails. " At a distance of five miles from - linters - we tacked. During our manoeuvre the Lefort ap peared to U 3 as if about to tack ; suddenly a vir lent squall laid her on her side. Though her sails were let go, she leaned over so much to larboard that we expected her masts would go, but she con tinued gradually to lean over till she foundered the short time that the Vladimir took to tack about. The keel of the Lefort appeared once, and was then swallowed up in the waves. " Exclusive of the commander and 12 officers, the vessel had on board 743 seamen, 53 women, and 17 children ; all perished. " This disaster took place on September 10 (22), at 23 minutes past seven a.m., at 5i miles to the N.N.E. of the island of Grand-Tutors, at a depth, of thirty fathoms. After this unparalleled catas trophe, the wind continuing to increase, we brailed u the fore-topsails and top-gallant sails, and after wards the main-topsails, and decided to anchor at • a depth of 31 fathomz, leting out all the cable of two anchors. Fifty-three hours afterwards the wind calmed, and the steamers arriving in the meantime, towed us to Cronstadt. " Signed by the Rear-Admiral NORDMAN I." N:ivrd ?41i liliacary luteiligence. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have determined to supply the whole of the ships of the royal navy with Clifford's apparatus for lowering ships' boats, and have made arrangements with Mr C. Clifford to use the patent right. The Sprightly, tender, Master Commander Geo. Allen, was under orders yesterday to proceed to Ryde, I. W., to convey Rear-Admiral Baynes from thence to the Ganges, 84, at Spithead. The wea ther was, however, too boisterous to allow of any one getting on board ; therefore, she is ordered to be in readiness this morning to convoy Capt. Fulford and about 100 liberty men to the Ganges, from Portsmouth, and afterwards to proceed to Ryde to attend on Rear-Admiral Baynes, whose flag is hoisted at the wizen of the Ganges. She has been fitted with Clifford's patent boat-lowering gear, and the inventor is down for the purpose of practically showing its advantages while a tremendous se% is passing the ship at anchor at the rate of six knots an hour. Two companies of the 51st (the King's) Light In fantry left Dublin on Wednesday evening for Queenstown, to embark in the Calcutta. The head quarters marked next morning for Queenstown un der the command of Col. Errington, and will also embark in the Calcutta for India. The Cork Re porter of Wednesday gives the following account of - the embarkation at that port of the two regiments of cavalry destined to reinforce the army in India. . _ _ "Amid the crowd of vessels of all sizes, build, and rig which lay moored in the harbour was the Great Britain, Captain Gray. Shortly after throe o'clock one of the largest of the river steamers rounded Whitepoint, having on board the head-quarters, band, &c., of the 17th Lancers, bound for India, and about to embark ea board the Great Britain. Immediately on enter ing the harbour the band s'ruck up, 'Cheer, boys, cheer,' and g The Girl I loft behind me,' as they came alongside, amid the loud and hearty cheering of comrades on board. When all were on board and mustered the band came on the quarter-deck and performed Auld Lang Syne.' The men then set about taking up their quarters, and in the meantime the bands of the Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers continued to play. The scene at this time was very grand and striking. The embarkation of the troops was conducted under the im mediate direction of Captain Locke, agent to the East India Company, through whose exertions all the arrange ments were satisfactorily concluded." The following are the officers who sail in the Great Britain ;-Bth Hussars--Major Naylor tin com mano), Major Chetwode ; Captains M`Naughten, Pageat, Henneage, Clowes, Penton, and Poore ; Lieutenants Massunden, Hames, Webster, Mon tague, Henberry, and Stourton ; Cornets Richards, Paullet, and Helme ; Doctors Lockwood and Sher lock. 17th Lancers—Lieut.-Col. Rose, Major Morris, C.B. ; Major Learmouth ' Captains White, Knight, Macartu e y, an d L owe ; Lieutenants Sey urour, King, Gibson, Nolan, Marshall, Banbridge, and Hon. W. H. Curzon, Doctor Mockler, Assist ant-Surgeon Johnson, Lieutenant and Adjutant Duncan. The following officers of these regiments proceeded by overland route, on the 20th, to join their respective regiments at the seat of war :-Bth Hussars—Colonel De Salis. 17,11 Lancers—Colonel Benson, Captains Sir William Gordon and Sir Geo. Leith, and Mr. Partridge, veterinary surgeon. At the meeting of ttie.Liverpool Dock Committee yoterday a report was submitted respecting the new fort on the site of the old magazines at New Brighton, from the Works Committee, wh r thought that no further opposition should be offered, but that Go vernment should be allowed to take its own course. Mr. Bold observed that block-ships would be much better for the protection of the fort. He thought they should at least make application for a copy of the plans. This was ordered to be done. THE MILITIA. The Queen's Own Light Infautry Militia, Colonel the Earl of Wilton, now musters 1,100 men. This regiment did garrisou duty at Woolwich during the Oriel( an war. Both officers and men are most anxious to ho called into active service again, and are prepared fur ludian service. THE WEDDING- RING.—The ring is no longer an essential part of the marriage ceremony, as generally upposed, the act of Parliament passed in 1837 having instituted marriage to be a civi contract ; though it does not forbid the use of the ring, which holds its accus tomed place to distinguish tie maiden from the wife. It is the Tied of a woman, hallowed too long by custom and an obvious utility to fall into disuse through the silence of an act of Parliament. Its continual u.te fur nishes another of the many proofs that eustomii and habits spontaneously resulting frt:ni the exigencies and natural circumstances of mankind are stronger and more permanent than written laws. The whole i t i r h mar riages before the super intenden t - registrars do not exceed a fifty-seventh part of all the marriages in Eng. • lad v td i ng an d inquired Wales. extensivelyT he editor rtnhneg ,out sioric h tt e l Reg country H in t o the use of 3 seo f 5 cases the onlyweddingt co she e the found u wedding ring was not observed to have been used. The superintendent registrar at Birmi ng h am says he never married a couple without a ring." At Walsall, "the parties al ways use a ring." Toe ring bring " The peopl e always b•ng a ring" a.% Stafford. The su perintendent -registrar at Sheffield " has seen the ring used invariably." " A ring is always used at Liverpool ; so at Manchester, and at Stockport, and at Wells. At Worcester, on one oci.•.,sion, the parties were so poor that they used a brt as ring, having no better one. The bride's friends indignantly protested that the ring ought to have been gold, and the superintendent-registrar was threat ened with an indictment for permitting the tee of a ring of such base metal. He says(that the people is hie die rict " won't believe the m ,rriage to be good without the ring." The superinte nd,nt-registrar at Bristol, where "always sliv a ring used but marriages are nutnerous, once." He asked if the parties had brought one. The matt answered that it was not necessary ; but the woman en treated to have one. The s uperintendent took part with the woman, and represeittod that the absence of the ring would expose the wife to insult after her marriage ; and he hesitated to proceed with the marriage until a ring was pro • duced The man yielded at last and fetched one, and the woman's gratitude brought tears into her eyes. —Timbs' Popular Errors. 55 i 95 83 7i 52E 3 76i 6 St. st' St. St. • 10 1.0.0 St. St. St. 20 25
