The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c; dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out •f place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will net be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relatijon •t a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved chili pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, en perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary oonsumption, hart disease, tabe s, Sze., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence is certain destructive habits, practised by youth much mere fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work; he directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practiccs so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his Fupils are sure to Le compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth. and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea, cause of such attack may he, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the Icaturo of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also he enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to fellow from thee, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, tnr symptoms, age, ge neral habits of hying, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must Le accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be i taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may ho relied on.

The Court has been occupied during the present session with several charges •f stealing vases and other consecrated articles from churches in France. The first of these robberies took place in the Church of St. Pierre, at Moulins, on the night of the 30th of December last. The doors of the sacristy and taber nacle had been forced open by the aid of a crow-bar, the marks of which were visibly enough left behind ; and drops of wax on different parts of the floor showed that the thief had used a lighted wax taper for the pur pose of assisting him to commit his depredations. In deed, on examination it was found that one of the wax candles was missing from one of the lustre% in the Church, and that to reach it the thief had stepped up on the green cover of a large arm chair ; and the mark of the heel of a boot in which there had been nails was plainly to be seen both on this chair cover and at the altar of the Virgin. On further search there were missing two silver cups, a pyx, a patena, two proces sional crosses, a plated dish, and the wand of the ver ger, which was mounted with silver. It appeared that the thief must have concealed himself in the church on the day preceding the robbery, as there were no marks of violence from without. It was subsequently discovered that a man named Tonard, a liberated convict, had been seen on the night in question, about midnight, near one of the entrances to the Church of St. Pierre, and during the evening walking about the streets of Moulins. Suspicion at once fell on him, and he was arrested at his lodgings at Lenaz, in the canton'of Donjon, which being searcheci, a large portion of a processional cross of copper, plated with silver, was found, which had evidently been but recently broken. Tonard himself was found to be pos sessed of about 150 francs, and of a paper which showed that on the 4th January, 1840, he sold a pair of ear rings to a goldsmith, named Villard, at Gannet. The prisoner was taken to Moulins, and recognised as having been seen there on the day of the robbery. On being questioned as to the churches of Moulins, he declared - he had never visited any of them, but he was identified by the sacristan of St. Pierre, as having been. there several times. On comparing the heel of one of a pair of boots found at his lodgings with the marks on the chair cover, it corresponded exactly. Moreover the broken piece of the cross was identified by the cure of St. Pierre and his vicars choral and choristers, and was the only portion missing, the other parts having been found in a neighbouring wood shortly after the robbery, as well as the other cross and the plated dish. It was be lieved that the prisoner had an accomplice, in the per son of a dishonest silversmith. He contented himself before the Court with simply denying everything that was alleged against him, and, when matters appeared rather conclusive against him, he exclaimed, " Oh settle it as you will." At the conclusion of the evidence of the facts de tailed, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to twenty years' hard labour with public exposure. MUTINY.—INQUEST ON THE BODY OF ONX OF THE MUTINEERS.—An inquest was held at Cork, on Wednesday, on the body of the man killed by Captain Hubert, of the barque Troubadour, from St. John's, New Brunswick, which arrived at Cork a few days since, when the following verdict was returned :--" That the deceased came by his death by a pistol bullet. discharged by Cap tain Hubert, of the barque Troubadour, and find that the deceased, as well as a part of the crew, were in a state of mutiny and insubordination at the time." M. Guizot left London on Saturday evening, and sailed from Dover yesterday morning in the French Government steam-packet for Calais. His Excellency was attended br a guard of honour to the place of embar kation, and received a salute of nineteen guns from the heights on leaving the harbour. DEATH OF Siß. JOHN W. LUBBOCK, THE BANKER. —We have to announce the death of Sir J. W. Lubbock, which event took place at his residence in St. James's-place, on Thursday night, after a fortnight's illness. His age was 66 years. He died of an affection of the heart. His son succeeds him in the business. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. This vessel arriv e d at Bristol on Saturday morning, after a passage of thirteen days and eleven hours. The following are ext racts f rom the papers b roug h t b y h er . (Ern the 'Ar e w NEWS FOR ENGLIND.L- Hcrald..Oct. 10, 1840.) The Great Western sails York to-day at one o'clock. The news which goes by her is of some importance. According to every probability and every event, General Harrison will be elected President—a new National Bank will be established —the old United States Bank will never recover her reputation—Mr. Wel:cater or Mr. Clay will take the s uccession—the co untry w ill pass through another pe riod of speculation, a no th er cr i s i s , ano th er revulsion— and the science of political economy will be benefited by these experiments on the currency and on com merce. Probably in 1843 or 1844, the next grand explosion may take pl ace . General Harrison, it appears, is about to visit Penn sylvania. He was to leave Ohio on the 2d instant. MEXlCo.—There has been no material change in the aspect of affairs in the capital, since the receipt of our previous advice,. The Government appears to be mainly engaged in streigtheniog their position ; draw ing around them loyal troops, and searching out and arresting persons known or suspected to have been engaged in the late demonstration against the powers that be. The revolutionary spirit appears to be quieted for the present. There is an hour of calmness ; but it is that breathless calm that precedes the tempest. The name of Santa Anna is not mentioned. This excites surprise. He is not a spirit to remain inac tive in the tumult of revolution. There is no doubt that he will have a WOW in whatever is going on before long. The 'T • eet was off the mouth of the Rio Bravo on ' -04,8ept.ember ; but no 487 at tack had been madera any point. Strong apprehen sions were entertained. at Matamoras, of a descent either there, or at some other accessible port. A. letter dated Matamoras, lst September, says a detachment from Arista's army was on the opposite side of the river last night. This sudden countermarch is owing to the ex pected attach of the Texian forces by sea. Intelligence to this effect was immediately !Tilde known to the General by express. The next arrival will bring something important, no doubt. . . ___ WEST INDIES.-Our advices from Havannah 'are up to a late date. The currency is the principal 'fea ture in the topics of discussion. There is a consider able party which desires to introduce a system of bank ing into the financial management of Cuba ; but the Government is averse to the project, and it cannot suc ceed. The island is now prosperous to a degree else where unknown, and the Spaniards will let well alone. From Jamaica there is nothing new or important. The products of the island are diminishing, and when Cuffee understands his position as well as he does in St. Do mingo, that sun-bright and glorious spot will present the same scene of indolence, dilapidation, and poverty. THE OHIO RIVER.-A letter from Pittsburgh,dated sth October, to the Philadelphia Inquirer, says, " Our rivers are again in good steam-boat order, and we hope will continue so during the residue of the season." ONEIDAS.—A detachment of this once powerful nation, sixty in number, passed up Lake Ontario on Monday, on their way to a new home, near Green Bay. STEAM-BOAT LOST.—The St. Louis Gazette of the 28th ult. states that the steam-boat Thames was sunk in the Missouri river, but no particulars had been received. SNOW.—The summit of the Moosehillock, in New Hampshire, was covered with snow on the 22d ult. COCHRAN'S LATENT BOMB CANNON. cannon on Tuesday last, at were Sev m er a a d l e very i c nt o e c r h e r s a ti n n ,s g and imp ortant exper i men t s Sandy Hock, under the direction of Captain Newton, o f the. United States steam frigate, Fulton, and Mr. Cochran, the inventor. The Secretary of the Navy gave orders that the cannon should be tested to the ut most, and it has been done. At nine °clock, the steam frigate started from the East River, with Commodore Dekay, Captain Cowdin, Mr. Cochran, and several other scientific gentlemen on board, including, of course, Captain Newton, the com mander of the Fulton, and his officers, who are well ac quainted with every branch of gunnery and artillery. In one hour and forty-five minutes, the steamer reached Sandy Hook, which shows her to be a very fast sailer. In consequence of the shoal water, the com pany had to be taken ashore on the shoulders of tire sailors, who waded knee deep through the water, and looked like so many old men on the shoulders of so many Sinbads. Soon after they landed the experiments commenced. The cannon had bees taken down the day before, and was therefore ready. Its appearance cannot very well be described here without a diagram. All we can say is, that it has three chambers, is made of brass, is a - six pounder, and is very neat and compact in all its arrange ments. It is now to be seen at Niblo's Garden. Its advantages in battle over common cannon are obvious. First—lts efficiency in point of celerity is fully equal to four guns now in use. Second—lt has the durability of three common guns, for it has three breeches, and all guns first fail at the breach, where the charge ignites, and the Ball starts. Third—Safety in charging. All guns ever used re quired sponging at every discharge. This cannot be come so heated as to require sponging at all. Fourth—lts great advantages on ship board. The construction of the gun is such that it don't recoil, and consequently remains steady at the port bole ; and the time necessarily consumed in drawing it in, to sponge, is saved ; and all danger in sending the men outside to load is overcome. Fifth—lt can be loaded with the greateSt celerity and ease, for throwing shells of large calibre. Sixth—lt only require s three or four men to manage a m re ay ne b e e ess i a ts ry w t e o igh rn t a . na l g n e a th s e ix ß ty r - i f t o i u k r , i s t e , r nv ice m e a l e t t v e e r n t i n y h e a n t pounder. So far for its advantages. It is seen by the above that they are very great—particularly the last. When manned by persons familiar with its opera tions, it can be discharged twelve times a minute, withand r egu l ar i ty . O n Tuesday it dis charged accuracy ball c ar t ri d ges i n s i x t ee n seconds. Th e fi ve halls discharged followed each other, and before the first fire reached the water, another was whistling through the air. But in making five discharges in sixteen seconds, sight can be taken but once. In twelve discharges a minute, however, the gunner can take aim at each discharge. The quickest time ever made with a common gun was in the French army, when a piece of artillery was fired seven times, and swab loaded for the eighth, in a minute , but witho ut taking sight. These rapid discharges of the old gun, however, are very dangerous, because it becomes ov er heated, and the powder is liable to ig nite, whilst Cochran's, having three breeches, keeps c ool, and there fore safe all the time. Cochran's canno n was fired fifty times p w r i i t ra hi i n ng an wi h r o e, ur o , r whaitvhionguta vent the use of a spon ge , a tender. Perhaps a cannon never before underwent su c h a test. Each cartridge weighed from one pound an d a quarter to two pounds of powder, prepared expressly, the stPength of which was thirty per cent. greater than that used in our army and navy. And the percussion caps were equally powerful. They forced fire through the flannel and paper wrapper of the cartridge s with ease and without failure. Many other other cannon would have exploded with like charge s . It was impossible to ascertain how far the balls were thrown,. for manY went into the %later. The dis tanta-af one was-measared,-and found to be fourteen hundred yards. The accuracy with which Mr. Cochran throws a ball is remarkable. At the fourth fire of the gun, and his first sight, he sent a s i x pounder directly through the centre of the bull's eye, on a target 500 yards distant. So much for the ex periments, and advantages, and Ca: pabilities of this new i n strument, to deal out death and destruction. It is the greatest improveme n t o f t h e ki n d ever made. Not si nce the inventio n of powder has such a death-dealing cannon been offer e d to our modern war riors. It is to be principall y used to throw hollow shot' and shells, and will, -no doubt,t ; in a very short time, change entirely the system: eod moderna warfare. Attar Henry Clay had seen it t i ~ tI Washington, last win ter, he said to Mr. Cochran, _, should think that your cannon ought to commend itself strongly to those who are charged with the care of the public defence." This cannon goes to England shortly with Mr. Cochran, and there is no questio n b ut that the British Government will adopt it for their service. Our naval officers speak highly of it, and say that for gun-boats, no cannon is so well adapted. P HILADELPHIA.

The quotations on England are to 9 per cent. prem. or $4 83 to 484 the pound sterling, On Paris the rate is M. 15i to sf. 164. The amount of bills sold is not large, and the packet carries out $240,000 in specie. In stocks there was more business at the board ; prices generally declined. United States Bank fell off per cent. ; North American Trust and Banking Com pany 3 per cent. ; Delaware and Hudson 4 per cent. ; Farmer's Trust 4 per cent. ; Harlem 4 per cent. Sto nington improved I i per cent. ; Moaawk declined per cent: - - The public debt of the State of Virginia, according to the Norfolk Beacon, is at the present time $ 1 6,500,000, exclusive of its liabilities under acts autl,o. rising loans for works of internal improvement, which amcunt to $3.442,19.0 more. Money continues exceedingly plenty, and the value of most southern securities, as well as State stocks, con tinue to improve, under the demand for investment. The rates at which the most recent purchases have been made, evince much improvement. Domestic ex changes and bank bills are nearly all equalised with 3 per cent. The purchases have been small this fall, and the crop about to come forward is large, with the pros pect of a good market. Its appearance will still further tend to equalize the domestic excnanges and reduce the rate of foreign bills, which is already reaching a point which renders specie the best remittance to the continent. (From the New York Courier and Enquirer, Oct. 10.) TILE QUESTION SETTLED.—For the last six months the Loco Focos hero and in Washington, have been sending circulars throughout the United States, alleging that the electoral vote of New York would certainly be given to Martin Van Buren. Of the falsehood of this declaration no one in this State entertains a doubt. It is known to be false by the men who make it, and is only intended to deceive the people of other States in the desperate hope of thereby increasing their exertions in behalf of the present corrupt administration. There are in this State fifty-seven counties, of which the Whigs claim thirty-six ; and yet it will be perceived by tbe following offer of a bet in the Albany:Evening Jownal, ;Aid) tbe I:tiao - Foco dire - not take, that seven of our thirty-six counties will give a larger Whig majority than all the Loco Foco counties in the State ! This bet has been offered four successive days in the Albany Evening Journal ; and as the Loco Focos dare not , take it, tet our friends at a distance feel as confident in regard to the result in New York as we are. (From the New York Herald, Oct. 10 ) CANADA.—There have lately been some acts of in cendiarism committed along the Canada border, but no suspicion rests on Americans as the authors of the villainy, and there is generally a good understanding between the inhabitants on the different sides of the line. Some of the Canadian papers speak in strong terms of the injudicious management of the Home Go vernment. " There are a million and a half of souls in British North America," says the Quebec Gazelle, " who have been sincerely disposed to acquit them selves of their duty of allegiance to the British Crown, even at the hazard of seeing their country desolated by a war with the population of the neighbouring States, with whom they can have no ground of quarrel. But if people in England will undertake to manage the affairs of these colonies in the way they have been managed of late, giving credence to those who know little about the colonies, and have no permanent interest in them, it will be found that they are difficult to manage, and will cost more than they are worth. TExas.—We have had but a single mail from Texas for ten days past. The only intelligence of much public interest is the arrival of an express at San Antonio, from Austin, informing that a large detachment of Centralists had crossed the Rio Grande, and were advancing into the country. The circumstance excited no alarm, however. THE NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY.—Captain A. Talcott, with a party of surveyors, left Canaan, Ver mont, for the head-quarters of Connecticut River, for the purpose of tracing the sources of the Magalloway river. The party are then to proceed along the dividing highlands to the Kennebec-road. Another party, under Professor Renwick, have proceeded to the Restigouche Bay, from whence they are to trace the highlands agreeable to the treaty, and expect to meet the first party in the vicinity of the Kennebec-road. A third party, under Major Graham, is employed in running the meridian line from Mars Hill. STATE OF TRADE. There is a good business doing generally, particularly in domestic goods. Prices of some descriptions of pro duce have-however, fallen off during the week. A sale of teas to-day, consisting of the cargo of the ship Aria, was well attended, and went off at improved prices., COTTON TRADE. The cotton year has closed, after a season ofgreat abun dance. The following is a statement of the cotton crop for the year ending September 30, 1840 : _ COTTON CROP OP TCE UNITED STATES, 1839.40: New Orleans, Sept. 26 960,860 Less receive d from Mobile and Florida 18,376 • t -- 942,474 Natchez on export to Liverpool to New York Mobile Florida Geollia, Sept. 30 Add export from Darien to New York 11,070 _...... ........ 295,708 311,738 9,890 19.000 South Caroline, Sept. 30 Less receipts from Georgia and Florida 7,132 North Carolina Virginia 'Total crop, 1839-40 bales 2,162,663 1838-39 1,365,698 1837 38 1,801,497 1836-37 1,422,930 1835.36 1,300,725 1634-35 1833-34 1,205,394 1832-33 1,070,438 1831-32 987,477 1830-31 1829.30 976,315 ••.••• From this it appears that the cotton crops of the last ten years average 1,367,599 bales. In re gard to the growing crop there are as many reports of damage done by floods and worms as ever. In oppo sition to these reports, however, the weather through out the cotton sections has, we believe, been unusually good for the season. This fact is a favourable one. The receipts of new crop thus far continue to exceed the receipts at the same time last year. At New Orleans the receipts of new crop are as 24,725 against 13,302 bales last year. At Mobile, old cotton is quoted 7 a 91, and new, 9 a 101. In this market the transactions have been small, at the following rates :—Upland, 81 a lOi ; New Orleans, 101 ; Mobile, 81 a 101- ; Florida, 84 a 10!. CORN TRADE. Flour has not changed in price for some days. Sales in this market have been so so, but not ex tensive. if the article should decline, perhaps larger sales would be made. The receipts are now great. For the past week ten thousand barrels have arrived per day. Since the arrival of the Western, sales of wheat have been made on European account, at one dollar per bushel.

We give the following figures :—From the 20th of April to to the 26th of September, there came down the North River to New York, 570,978 barrels, and 5,100 half barrels of flour, and 7,967 bushels of wheat.

THE LUDLOW CASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Several letters having appeared in your widely circulated paper from commercial travellers on the above case, I beg also to address a few lines to you on this subject, which stares the in the face in every traveller's room Igo into. I allude to the large printed placards hung up in the commercial rooms, headed The Ludlow case," and signed " W. Tilt and B. Ward." 1 was not so much surprised on seeing tkc.se placards as I was last Friday, when I saw Mr. r,lackreth's letter in the Globe of Thursday, approving of the plan. There is no accounting for taste certainly, but I must say, had I been similarly situated, and begging papers had been sent all over the country for my benefit, I should have beer, exceedingly annoyed ; I should have regretted the mistaken zeal of my friends, who had so unnecessarily endeavoured to keep I alive a dreadful circumstance, which only to think of, makes the blood curdle in one's veins—nay, more, I would have thanked them ; but as to pocketing the shillings, that would have been quite out of the question. I yield to no one in feelings of commiseration for the sufferings of Mr. Mackretb, and no one unconnected with that gentleman can rejoice more sincerely than I do at his most providential escape from the hands of an as sassin ; but is that the way to show our s)mpatlay ? Witt these shillings show how intensely the commercial body felt on his account ? Will these shillings really " compensate" him and " show the general feeling ?" It is " limited to our shilling each, in order to show the general feeling." Had Mr. Mackreth been so disabled as to have been prevented from following his usual avocations, then a subscription to have purchased an annuity for him would have been very proper, but not a beggarly shilling thing ; or if; which would have been much worse, the attempt on his life had been fatal and he had ft a wife and family unprovided for, who is there in our body that would not gladly have subscribed not his shilling only, but his sovereign It is not necessary to allude further to the officious ness of three or four individuals after dinner on a Sun day, takiEg upon themselves to sign any paper " for the whole body" of commercial travellers, and especially such a paper as that headed " The Ludlow Case." I am, your's, respectfully. G. S., A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Oct, 23, 1840. {As our Correspondent has not given his name, and he makes some remarks on gentlemen who are before the public, we have taken the liberty of omitting part of the letter.] FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. `23. —The Prussian Government has just published the following notice : " I hereby acquaint the public that by a Cabinet Order of his Majesty, dated the Bth of this month, the exportation of horses along the frontiers of the whole monarchy, and in all directions, is prohibited for an inde finite time. " Berlin, Oct. 14,1840. " The Minister of Finance, D'ALVEN3LEREN." OSTEND, OCT. 22.—The ramparts of the town, from which the artillery was removed after the signing of the 24 Articles, are again armed. All the cannon and howitzers which were formerly on them have been re placed. It appears that the orders for this purpose were very pressing, for not only the gunners, but the soldiers of the Gth regiment in garrison here have been employed. ANTWERP, OCT. 23.—The Princess Victoria steam boat arrived off this city yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, from Hamburgh, with horses. It appears that in the storm which it exporienced it was necessary to throw overboard 81 horses out of 83 that were embarked at Hamburg. It is said that the loss will fall on the contractor, who engaged to deliver them in good con dition to the French authorities at Valenciennes.

TERNIINATION OF THE TURN-OUT. —It is with no ordinary gratification that we are this week o stats that the cotton m ill s i n t hi s town are agal loyrnent on ac tivity.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 9.4. Seamen continue to drop in at this port for general service, in considerable numbers. The Emerald, Sylph and Vulcan, all arrived on Tuesday, with m !n from ,e.rious quarters ; and the Gipsy came en the following day, with volunteers for the Britannia and Howe. These ships are now quite complete, and without fuss or noise, have been manned with more than ordinarily good crews in a very short time, and in spite of the higher wages given by merchant ships. The regularity of a man of war, and the easier work to be done, strongly attract seamen to the service ; and we are Il re that if pensions commenced a little earlier, viz. after fif teen years' service, and if an able man aiming at a higher pension were never rejected, b 1 cause he looked a little old, these attractions would be very considerably augmented. Both the Howe and Britannia have this week each taken on board fifty stout boys for ser vice in the Mediterranean. We regra tto see an able wrtec in the l'imcs, making such a gloomy tomparison of the relative force of the English and French fleets in tl;e Mediterranean. The feeling which dictates such comparisions is very un-English, and %,e more than sus pect the correctness of the data, upon winch they are founded. We have no doubt the French ships enu merated are all in commission, but we do not think they are all manned. The Britannia and Howe, of 120 guns each, were inspected this morning nt Spithead, by the Commander-in-Chi e f, an d b ot h s hi ps w ill proceed to join the Mediterranean fleet about Tuesday next ; the Calcutta, 84, is already on her passage out, which will make our force in that quarter, seventeen sail-of the-line and thirteen steamers, the greater part of the latter, first and second class, and the latter force will very shortly be increased by the addition of the Salamander, Hecate, Locust, and Comet. With re• gard to a home service or squadron of reserve as it is called, we have the Caledonia, 120, commissioned this week, for the flag of the Commander-in-Chief (Sir G. More), at Plymouth, in lieu of the Impregnable, 104, which is ordered to be manned for sea, and Nile, 92 and Bombay, 84, are preparing at the same port : at Portsmouth we have the Indus, 84, partially rigged, and the Vengeance, 84, nearly ready, and both ex pected to be put in commission early next month ; an estimate is also demanded from the officers of the differ ent dockyards of the cost to commission the Neptune, 120 the London, 92, Monarch, 84, Formidable, 84, and when ready, they will also be commissioned. To these six .50-gun frigates will be added, as inquiries as to time and expenso ' r completion have been made respecting the Vindictive,- Warspite, Vernon, America, Eagle, and Gloucester. The Russian corvette Abo, of 10 guns, Captain A. Younser, arrived yesterday from Cronstadt, bound to Kamschatka ; she saluted the Admiral's flag this morn. ing, which was returned, and the platform guns are loaded for a similar compliment to the Russian flag on their saluting the garrison. The Russo-Finland ship, Furst Menschikoff, Cap. tain Lalin, from Hull, bound to Toulon, is at the Motherbank. The Penguin packet, Lieutenant Luce, arrived at Falmouth, on Monday. from Mexico. She left Vera Cruz, Aug. 24, and Havannah, S. , pt. 4. Her Ma j-sty's brig of war, Victor, left the latter place on the same day for Halifax, with dispatches for the Admiral. orought on merchants' account from Mexico about 189,000 dollars, and 200,000 more were expected to arrive down in the commencement of Sep tember. The S apphire, troop ship, arrived at Quebec, on tha 0 3(1 ult. from Plymouth, with Marines, for the Lakes. The Horatio transport, Lieut. C. Chapman, agent, with a detachment of thirty men of the 69th Regiment, under the command of Captain Paxton, and 179 con victs under the charge of Dr. Thompson, for the public Works at Bermuda, arrived out at that Wand on the 29th August. The survi.ying vessel Gulnare, Capt. Bas field, arrived at Charlotte Town, Prince Edward's Island, on the 29th August, and sailed again for Quebec on September Ist. We fear that in one of the ships fitting at this Port for foreign service, the recent Admiralty , order prohi biting extravagance in the gun-room mess, has escaped notice, for the members have been required to provide themselves each with Six Silver Forks ; and the subscrip. Lion on joining the mess is 15/., 5/. of which is for wine. Considering that the ship is going to a wine country, this might be reduced ; but the silver fork affair is pre posterous. APPOINTMENTS.

The lower deck guns of the former ship are being removed for the purpose of having the carriages altered, the great height of the lower deck ports from the water not admitting of their de pression sufficient to make her broadside properly ef fective. A vast quantity of the munitions of war have been received from %Woolwich, and shipped on board these two ships, during the week. Orders have been received at Sheerness to bring for ward immediately ready for commissioning the Vernon, Conquestador, Alfred, and Cornwall frigates, of .5) guns each. The Queen, 110, Gapt.
