Whereas it is expedient to amend the system of enlistment now in use in her Majesty's land forces; be it enacted, by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that after the passing of this Act, no person shall he enlisted to serve her Majesty as a soldier for a longer term than ten years in the infantry, or twelve in the cavalry, trtillery, or other ordnance corps, to be reckoned from the day on which the recruit shall have been attested, if lie hall have stated himself to be then of the age of eighteen 'ears, or if not, then from the day on which he will complete lie age of eighteen years, to be reckoned according to the age stated in his attestation; and the question directed to be put to any recruit at the time of his being attested, as to eis willingness to be attested to serve her Majesty, shall, after the passing of this Act, be put in the form given in the sche dule marked (A) annexed to this Act. And be it enacted, that any soldier, after completing the term of limited service for which he shall have first engaged, and being approved by his commanding officer, or other com petent military authority, as a fit person to continue in her Majesty's service as a soldier, may at any time be re-engaged to serve her Majesty for any term not exceeding eleven years in the infantry and twelve years in the cavalry and artillery, ipon making a declaration in the form mentioned in the form given in the schedule marked (B), and annexed to this Act, before any one of her Majesty's justices of the peace in Great Britain or Ireland, or if not in Great Britain or Ireland, before any person who under any Act now in force, or which shall hereafter be in force, for punishing mutiny and desertion, and for the better payment of the army and their quarters, has or shall have power to attest soldiers for her Majesty's service out of Gt eat Britain or Ireland. Provided always and be it enacted, that both the first and second term of limited service for which any soldier shall have so engaged, may be prolonged for such further time, not exceeding one year in time of._peace (4.. two in time of war, as shall be directed by the commanding officer on any foreign station ; and that any soldier who shall give notice to his commanding officer, after completing his second term of limited service, that he is desirous of continuing in her Majesty's service, and being approved by his commanding officer or other competent military authority, may be con tinued in her Majesty's service as a soldier so long as he shall desire to be so continued, and until the expiration of three calendar months after he shall have given notice to his commanding officer of his wish to be discharged, and for that purpose shall be considered in all respects during such time as if his term of service was still unexpired. And be it enacted, that soldiers who may not have served a sufficient time to entitle them to a permanent pensi. , n, under any royal warrants or regulations now in force, or which may hereafter be made, and who may be discharged at the end of their engagement, or who have been or may be dis charged for disability or at their own request, after such term of service as to her Majesty may seem fit, shall be entitled to have their names registered for prospective or deferred pen sions in such manner as her Majesty may direct; the said pensions to commence after such period, and upon such con ditions of servite, in the meantime, with the local companies of pensioners, as her Majesty may prescribe. And be it enacted, that all persons whose claims for any such prospective or deferred pension shall have been so regis tered, shall be liable to be enrolled with and as part of the local force for the preservation of the peace established under an Act passed in the seventh year of the reign of her Ma jesty, intituled, "An Act for rendering more effective the services of such out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital as shall be called out to assist in preserving the public peace," and an Act passed in the last session "f Parliament, intituled, "An Act for amending the Act for rendering effective the services of the Chelsea out-pensioners, arid extending it to the out-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital," and shall be deemed to be within the provisions of the said Acts, as fully as if they were out pensioners of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea in the actual re ceipt of their pensions ' • and every offence which, in the case of a pensioner, would be punishable by forfeiture of his pen sion, shall be punishable in the case of any person . having a claim to such prospective or deferred pension by forfeiture of such claim. And whereas the provisions of the said Acts, and of an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign of her Majesty, intituled "An Act to amend the laws relating to the payment of out pensioners of Chelsea," have been found beneficial, and it is expedient to extend them to her Majesty's coloniee and pos sessions beyond the seas; be it enacted, that the provisions of the said Act of the sixth year of the reign of her Majesty shall extend to all her Majesty's colonies and possessions be yond the seas; and the provisions of the said Act of the seventh year of the reign of her Majesty, and of the last session of Parliament, and of this Act, shall apply to all out pensioners of Chelsea Hospital, and to such of the out-pen sioners of Greenwich Hospital as may have served in the Royal Marines, and to all discharged soldiers whose claims to a deferred pension have been registered as aforesaid, now residing or who may hereafter reside in any of her Majesty's colonies and possessions beyond the seas, in which any officers shall have been appointed pursuant to the said Act of the sixth year o! the reign of her Majesty, for the payment and superintendence of the said out-pensioners ; and that it shall be lawful for her Majesty from time to time, by warrant under the royal sign manual, to fix the number of men to be enrolled in every such colony and possession as a local force for the preservation of the peace in such colony or possession, or in any district thereof, and to cause them to be armed and equipped, and called out for inspection or exercise on any number of days not exceeding twelve in each year, as the governor or person administering the government of such colony or possession for the time being shall direct, under the same penalties for non-attendance and other offences as are provided by the said Acts or any of them; and the number of men enrolled in any such colony or possession shall not be counted in the number of men authorised to be enrolled in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland under the said Acts or any of them. And whereas by the first-recited Act it is provided, that one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or, in case of emergency, any person or persons bearing the war rant of the Secretary of State for that purpose, may call out the said enrolled pensioners in aid of the civil power for pre servation of the public peace as by the said Act is directed; but such warrant, if applied for and issued after the emer gency has arisen, cannot in many cases be obtained in time to meet such emergence-, and it is therefore expedient to give further facilities in that behalf; be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or, in Ireland, for the Lord-Lieutenant or other Chief Governor of Ireland, and, in her Majesty's colonies and pos sessions beyond the seas, for the Governor or other person administering the government of such colony or possession, to issue his warrant to the lord-lieutenant of any county, or the mayor or other chief magiitrate of any town or dis trict wherein such pensioners and persons having claims to prospective or deferred pensions are enrolled, authorising hi m , in case of emergency or anticipated emergency, whereby the public peace may be endangered, or on the re quisition of any officer commanding her Majesty's forces within such town or district, to call out the whole or such part of the persons so enrolled as he may consider necessary for any term not exceeding twelve d svg s during which time they shall be liable to the provisions of the Mutiny Act and Articles of War in the same manner in all respects as is providei in the last-epentiened Act ; but no such enrolled person who shall be called out only by the authority of any such lord-lieutenant of a county, mayor or magistrate, for the preservation of the public peace, shall be employed on such duty ter more than twelve days, unless by a warrant from one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or in Ire land, frotn the Lord-Lieutenant or Chief Governor of Ireland, or in any of her Majesty's colonies and possessions beyond the seas, front the governor or person administering the government in case of their being employed in aid of the civil power, or by warrant of her Majesty in case of their volunteering to serve in any of her Majesty's forts, towns, and garrisons, as provided in the said Act. And be it enacted, that in case of actual or apprehended invasion, it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by any proclama tion, to direct that the said enrolled pensioners, or such of them as her Majesty shall think fit, may be sent in aid of the defence of the realm, to any part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland where their services may be rt quired ; and during the time for which their services shall be so required they shall be subject to all the provisions of any Act then in force for the punishment of mutiny and desertion, and for the better payment of the army and their quarters. And be it enacted, that this Act may be amended or re pealed by any Act to be passed in this session of Parliament. SCHEbULES TO WHICH THE FOREGOING ACT REFERS. Schedule (A). (From the f !avow ) During the drama of the Bade of Setlgemoor at the Adelpht Theatre here. on l'itesday evennig last, an oc currence took place which for stirring interest and ro in ui is stir:, far eunke-i Al sae!: dramatic fictions as The Wife of Two Husb , nds, e Fatal Marriagt, or those numerous von i.res ate': mishaps in eiti,nexion with love, marriage, aiid ttaumiihant virtue, sr put upon the stage to " fill the pause and give the Jinx) play." The frets of the cteie, which have 'melt conifer, nicated to us by an eye• witness, and vain h can be au theetiettt, d on the best authorit, , are as follow on the above evening the business of The play was goitiv ferward, end while one of the favourite Liar, ssi s of tfte Ad , Iphi was performing her part —indeed no need tot hesitate giving the name (Mrs. De Bourgh) as the when matter is now kept no secret by the parties interested, a tall handsome man, with a military air, in the pit, was observed to look very uneasy for a few ininuleti, to gaze earnestly at the stage as if the lady haden gaged his fixed attention, rising several times from his seat during the time, until he at length appa rently satisfied himself with his scrutiny—when, to the astonishment of all around, he exclaimed at the pitch of a stern military voice, " My wile, by heaven ! my Eliza !" Not kno ving the cause of this sudden out burst, the spectators for a time appeared at a loss whether to treat the affair in joke or earnest. Seeing, however, that the gentleman was perfectly sober, and quite serious in his manner of address, their merri ment gave way to wonder and curiosity, which was in no degree lessened when it was noted that the fair actress who had been thus pointedly ad dressed had swooned, and required to leave the stage. The play, however, went on, notwithstanding this, but the occurrence excited the most marked attention. On hearing of, the matter, Mr. Miller, the manager, at once proaeaded,p_thip place where the gentleman sat, in order to ascertain tire` cause' of the unlooked-for inter• ruption that had been given to the evening's entertain ment, and inquired his: meaning for the expres sion he had made use of. " I tell yon," said the gentleman, " that lady is my wife, whom I have not seen these nineteen years. I have been abroad, and during that time have not heard from her ; I thought her dead ; and can you wonder I was astonished ? But," said the stranger, " who are you 'hat inquires ?" Mr. Miller replit d that ho was lessee of the threatre that he had a I-, speet for this lady, whit h':d now been in his corps dramutique or thri e years, during which her repu•ed Mr. De Bourgh, had died, and tis re an in terest in the reputation of this laiiy, as well as for t:A , good name of all the members of the company. he hoped the gentleman would net wantonly make a statenat.nt, to in jure her character. " Married," exclaimed the stranger, PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The annual general meeting and twenty-fifth election of this society, for the re lief of aged and infirm printers and their widows, was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Richard Taylor, Esq., F.R.S., treasurer, in the chair. Mr. J. S. Hodson, the secretary, read the report, which con gratulated the subscribers on the satisfactory state of the society, although at the present time fifty persons e ceiving the benefits of their bounty. One great of annual benefit to their funds—the anniversar which was presided over by Lord Dudley Coutts ' • •"' had been very productive, the sum of 2801. having been received on that occasion. Other auxiliary aids in the course of the year were alluded to, viz., the day Pik at Trauxhall-iiidena, -- - and an entertainment at Bromley, in Kent, the former yielding a profit of 13/., and the latter of upwards of 504 The committee further reported that a legacy of 1001. had been bequeathed by the late J. Harris, Esq., bookseller, of St. Paul's Church-yard. The balance-sheet set forth the annual and life subscriptions at 590/. 18s. 105.; interest on stock, 1624 18s Bd. ; with the other sources of revenue, vi• Ming together a tot.:l of 1,3961. 14s. 4d. The expendi ture amoto.ted to 3d., leaving a balance in favour of the stwiety of 147/. 7s. 7d. The report was unani mously 7,T ly^.l oroered to be printed. It was an now.ced o her li-atrical amateur performance would , hortl , result of the poll was then de clan d, aott tt toiec,sstul candidates were—Richard T. Childs, 3.894 , Francis aeeman, 2.905 ; Catherine Newman, 2,558 ; Edwaid Turner. 2.375 ; and Thomas S. Bambury, 2,340 01 hittingham pension). After the usual routine business, the meeting was dissolved. to another. My Eliza married ! But I must see her immediately, she is still my wi!e." Mr. Mill,r asked the name of the gentleman, who sai "My name is Lewis, Lieutenant Lewis, sir. I've come direct from Liverpool, after having been on foreign service with my boy, her boy, sir. He is twenty-two years of age, and six feet two inches high. You shall see him, sir." Si.mewhat doubtful and Set surprised at this recital, Mr. Miller inquired the maid. n tame of v i e lady. " Stanley." said th .uteranr . I , ;;;z,beth Stanley." After three i-t.; ! .:!,yri. s, I. i • , r Fro, ceedea 6. hind th- sm•ne,.. sat, ty t,, tho trteh of the repie-entati,n, when he f,:utn] ii at one verified by the actress, who had by tWs time recovered. from her faint. Ana for the sequel. The rrties had a meeting, and such a meeting! our fair readers may firm some idea. After loving embrace , and hurried explana tions, during which the lieutenant seemed to have lived over again his first three )l ars of marriage, the followit.g statement was elucidated, which was highly satistac• tory to Mr. Miller and the other parties who had fortune to be present at the scene :—They had married when ,young in England—he, at the time, a private soldier, she a rising member of a theatrical company in the town of . The lruit o' their union was a fine boy. The regiment was orders d &brow:, and in vain the young soldier al pli, d to have along with him his loving wise. The stipulated number of women to go with the regiment had been made tip, and, as a- fa vou r, their child, then three years of age, was permitted to accompany his father. They parted, and during the lapse of nineteen years had not seen or heard of each other. The one believing the other dead; need we wonder at the remarkable nature of their first encounter ? He had risen in the army by steadiness and good conduct to the rank of a lieutenant, and consoled by the company of his boy, had not married. She, about eight years after the de parture of the vessel with the regiment, had been posi tively informed that her husband had been killed in battle, and she was married again. The second husband died about eighteen months ago; and thus ends our strange eventful story. But no, we are in error, the tale is not yet told. On Wednesday morning last, acentu panied by a respectable body of friends, the happy pair, both being of the Catholic persuasion, appeared before the Rev. Mr. Gordon, who, after hearing the particulars, again formally reunited two whom fortune and the chances of war had put asunder. WATER CRESSES.—On Sunday morning, six large bags, similar to what hops are put in, were filled with this wholesome plant, and were lying at Winchester station ready to be sent to London, the weight of each about 1121b5., or I cwt. They had been gathered in the neighbourhood of Alresford, seven miles from Winchester, by the poor, for a greengrocer living at that place, who has engaged to send all iie can procure to London two or three times each week, or of c. cr can get them. It is stated they are extensively use.l, b as spinach. .'„cciDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— the gods train, which leaves London at nine k, w; s Saturday night thrown off the rails in the Fiiic:,ley cutting, between the Woking and Farnborough station, in consequence of the coupling chain having broken. Fortunately the speed was slow at the time, and no personal injury was sustained by the engineer or stoker, but the en gine and tender were thrown across the rails and the traffic on the line was delayed, as the passengers and luggage had to be removed tom one train to another until the rails were cleated. which was effected by eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—An accident of a serious and alarming character occurred in Newcastle on Saturday last, which had nearly proved fatal to two young ladies, one of them a daughter of Mr. George Bulman, and the other a daughter of Mrs. Arundale, both of Leazes-terrace. In the middle of the day, as a cask of black lead was in process of being lowered by a crane from th second floor of the ware house of Mr. Spencer, chemist, Low Friar-street, it by some means Flipped from the slings, and tell to the ground just as the young ladies were passing. They were both knocked, down by the cask, and seriously hurt, particularly Miss Bul man, who had a leg broken, a compound fracture, besides re ceiving a severe blow on the head. They are both, however, in a fair way of recovery.—Newcastle Journal. CAPTURE OF A ROBBER.—At Dover, on Sunday morning, at about five o'clock, a special train arrived at Dover with a gentleman and one of the City police, in search of a man, who, it was stated, bad robbed a merchant at Ham burgh of more than 4,0001. After inef f ectually searching on board the packets, then about to start for the Continent, they proceeded to Hollyer's London Hotel, where they dis covered the fugitive quietly enjoying his breakfast. He arrived at the London Hotel by the mail train, intending to embark for the Continent, but was compelled to retrace his steps with his captors.—Dover Telegraph. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY TERMINI. Yesterday the materials of upwards of twenty houses, on the west side of Westminster-bridge-road, near the old Marsh-gate, were sold by Mr. Chadwick, of St. Martin's-lane, for the extension of the South-Western Railway to the proposed new terminus ia the York-road, Lambeth, midway between Ifungerford and Waterloo-bridges. The terminus of the South-Eastern and Brighton Coast Railway, at London. bridge, is under going extensive enlargements; the ground on the north side, extending from Dean-street to Bermondsey-street, a distance of four hundred yards, is already cleared, and the erections commenced that, when complete, will cover half a mile in length. The extension of the Eastern Counties to their pro posed central terminus at Guildford-street, Brunswick-square, including the Middlesex House of Correction, is rapidly pro gressing, and has already reached Islington. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Last night Mr. W. Payne, City Coroner, held an inquest at the Old Swan Tavern, London-bridge, on view of the body of Andrew Reckhouse, aged forty-seven, the confidential clerk of Messrs Nicholls and Bennett, the proprietors of the Old Shades, who de stroyed himself. under the following circumstances ;—Mr. Thomas Nicholls, of the firm of Nicholls and Bennett, and other witnesses, stated that the deceased had been for many years confidential clerk in the above establishment. He had attended to business during Saturday, but complained of being unwell, Mr. Croft, surgeon. ot Lawrence Pountney-lane, saw him about nine o'clock in the evening, and sent him some medicine. Calling about twelve o'clock on Sunday to pay him another visit, his bed-room door was found locked in the inside, and which it was necessary to have forced, when he was discovered partly dressed, lying on his face with his right arm under his chest. On being turned round, a large deep wound was observed in his throat, which extended from ear to ear, having divided all the muscles, &c., between the larynx and the tongue. The bed was saturated with blood, a large quatai. y having flowed on to the floor. By his side, near, his right hand, lay the razor with which the wound had 'been inflicted. He had for some years been subject to occasional fits of dessondencv, complaining of severe pains in his head, and he also suffered from indigestion. This state ot things had been parly produced by grief for the loss of his brother, who died suddenly about five years since, and also from the loss of several hundreds of pounds, which he had benevolently lent to several friends. After a long in quiry the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." FIRE IN ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK.—Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, the ship China, Cap tain D. Ferguson, lying in St. Katherine's Dock, was disco vered to be on fire. The vessel, which was a Madras trader, was lying alongside of the C warehouses, and for some time considerable alarm prevailed lest the flames should extend to the surrounding property. The alarm having been given, in the space of a few minutes a number of the dock cOm patly'Li servants boarded the vessel, when they found the cook. house in flames, and part ot the deck burning furiously. A general turn out of the London Brigade engines took place, but by the time they reached the scene the dock company's men had succeeded in getting the fire extinguished. The vessel was insured. It appears that the outbreak was occa sioned by some plumbers having left their fire unprotected, whilst they went to dinner. THE WISDOM OF OUR ANCESTORS.—In respect to Eton, I would mention that the college is provided with sewers, constructed at the time of the foundations being formed; anc the person who laid them out, 400 years _tip, provided reservoirs and sluices for the purpo se s of flushing them with water; and those sewers have been kept freeoin deposit by periodical flushing ever since. —Mr. Roe's Evidence before the Health of Towns Gbmmission. Tun Cucxoo.—On Monday morning the voice of the cuckoo was repeatedly heard in the plantation at Mark eaton, near I !erby.—Derby Reporter. GREAT MATCH AT DRAUGHTS. — The long-talked of match at draughts between Mr. Anderson, of Carluke, and Mr. Wylie (known as " the herd laddie"), began on Monday week in Mr. Greenlaw's Tavern, Register-street. The stakes, we believe, are 1004 a side; the match being decided by th e _ first won nine games. After eight days' p la y the result stands thus :—Anderson, 7 games; Wylie, 3; drawn, 10. Great interest is excited in the issue, from the circumstances of the players being considered the most eminent in the king dom. At the end of last (Fr id ay) night's play, the games s t o od thus :—Anderson , 8 ; Wylie, 4 ; drawn, 16. Twent y eight games have thus been played, occupying 13 days...- Edinburgh Paper of Saturday. ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR THE OVERLAND MAIL.-- A report is now current on the Continent that it is the in tention of the King of Sardinia to construct a railroad from Genoa to Chambery, with a tunnel under Mount Cenis, eight mites long. Should this railroad be constructed, Genoa will become a t;winidable rival to Marseilles, and the route by Genoa will, in that case, probably be_ found preferable either 'to that by Marseilles or by Trieste for the co nveyance of the overland mail.—Liverpool LEICESTER TRADE.--WOOl3 are firm at former prices, but yarns are dull of sale. Worsted goods are flat. In cotton goods a moderate business was doing, but not a brisk one. This ha s bee n a d u l l week in the warehouses, and, on the whole, there is but little improvement in the demand from last week, save in receipt of a few American orders for the fall.—Leicester Mercury. " HEAR THE enuacn."—lt is reported that the Rev. Hugh Delacy, of Rillinagb, county Cavan, a most esti mable and respectable priest, had been addressing his congre nation on the present dreadful visitation, and used some tropes and figures about the " people slaying and eating all bgore them." Be that as it may; or whether Dolan and his son understood him literally, on Wednesday week they broke into their priest's cowbouse, out of which they took a fine ecpringer, to calve sth April, worth 101., and killed in his own field, l'eM)ing the calf, entrails, and hide, and taking the flesh. The Dolans were committed to Cavan gaol, by the Earl of Enniskillen, whom it was difficult to persuade that they bad so outraged the priest's premises and property.—Fermanagh osed "" ni ~,str s aba n ,, de P P TA mt.) byr A A. s. d.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The water has been run out of the dock in which the Sphynx lies, and, in addition to the damages we reported yesterday, we find she has sustained considerable injury by the roAts, against which she had been rubbing for nearly seven weeks past. The gripe and keel are almost wholly rubbed away, and the keel bolts either bent or started up. The copper is also rubbed off from the flat of the bottom out to the bilge, and the planking of the bottom to the same extent more or less itijured, particularly so on the star board side, where it is almost rubbed through Had the vessel remained until another spring -tide, the bottom plank ing would hive been rubbed quite through on the starboard bilge, and the saving of the vessel in consequence would have been scarcely practicable; the wisdom in persevering. as the Admiralty have done, is, therefore, most manifest. She will be at once temporarily refitted, and sent round to Wool wich for thoorugh repair. The Echo steam-tug returned from the scene of the wreck this afternoon with the Sphynx's anchors, one of her masts, and a considerable portion of gear which had been left be hind She was immediately afterwards dispatched to Spit head,. without discharging her cargo, to tow in the Portland, 50, ender jury -masts, in charge of Commander Schomberg, of the Queen, which arrived this morning from Devonport to load with provisions for Ireland. Considerable alacrity has been shown in fitting this frigate for the relief service, which is highly creditable to the officers and men employed upon her. DEATH OF A VICE-ADMIR AL. Vice-Admiral of the White, Nicholas Tomlinson, died of t his residence, Middleton House, Sussex,an officer as ever in the 83d year his age. The deceased was as gallant wore the British uniform, and had seen as much hard perso • nal service as any one, although he had neither stars nor garters, grand crosses nor medals. He entered the service plain Nicholas Tomlinson, was midshipman of the Charon , and scaled the walls at th e s iege of St. -Fernando de Omoa in 1779, and was subsequently at the capture of the French 64- gun ship, Comte de Artois. In the expedition to Virginia he commanded a gun-boat, and the Charon being burnt by red-hot shot at the defence of York Town, in 1781, he com manded an advanced battery on shore. He was made a Lieutenant in March, 1782, and was senior of the Bristol, and was severely injured in attempting to rescue the crew of the Athol, Indiaman, blown up In Madras roads in that year, and was first Lieutenant of the Bristol also in the following year in Hughes's fifth action with the Suffrein. He after wards commanded the bri Pelter, and with the most con summate daring cut out a F renc h a rmed lugg er on the coast of France, lying within pistol-shot of a battery and troops. and in 1795 engaged a convoy at the mouth of the Creche, and assisted at the destruction of a French corvette and cutter in the Morbiban. He was promoted to the rank of commander on the 30th of November, 1795, not having been merely a few months a lieutenant, as the more fortunate and highly decorated flag-officers on the list, but after many years hard and meritorious service, and in the rank of commander, in which he remained nearly six years, did something to merit his promotion; for, as cotnmander of the Suffisante, he captured the French national 12-gun brig Revanche, and two privateers, in 1796. In 1801 he served as a volunteer in Lord Nelson's fleet at Copenbageo,anrl was promoted in September of that year. He commanded fire-ships at Walcheren ; but it pears be bad not served his full time as a captain, for hew s one of the dotted flag officers, and was only in the receipt of half-pay as a rear admiral. It is intereting to compare the career_o_fcethAedgmail: lent deceased with that of another flagofficer. NI ral Tomlinson was a lieutenant eighteen months . before Sir Edward Codrington entered the service, and six months before the former by his hard fighting had obtained one step Sir Edward was a post captain. They both served under Nelson, and both bad commands at Walcheren; but the one dies plain Vice-Admiral Nicholas Ternhnson, and the othe B ~ is Admiral of the Red Sir Edward Codrington, G.C. r G:C.M.G., &c., loaded with honours, prize-money, office, and pension. By the death of Vice-Admiral Tomlinson, Rear-Admiral Samuel Butcher becomes Vice-Admiral of the Blue, and Robert Jackson, Esq., becomes the seniorhe Rear-Abedmiral. t num r pre- The number of flag-officers is now scribed by the Admiralty. The next death of a flag-officer will promote Captain Prescott to the rank of Rear-Admiral. Lieutenant George Raymond (181 5 ) has been appointed an additional Lieutenant of the Ocean, to command the Dover steam-packet, on the Dover station.

The opinion of practical men, whose attention has been directed to the foreign trade of the country, seems to be that the exchanges will not go materially, if at all, worse than at present. It is, they observe, true that prices are on the advance in the corn market, and that so far as the con sumption of foreign products by the consumers of this king dom is concerned, the rise must act prejudicially to our monetary system. But the prevailing impression is, as they contend, that our stock of grain, of native growth, is mucs larger than had been supposed, and, assuming this to be the fact, the shipments making to France, to which may be ascribed much of the advance in the quotations noticed, must be decidedly beneficial to the exchanges, inasmuch as they tend to redress the balance of trade without the inter vention of the precious metals The remittances of gold to the United States need not, they say, create apprehension. The quantity thus far shipped will have increased the de mand, on the part of the Americans, for luxuries. Tea, sugar, and other commodities will have been purchased . to an unusual extent, the effect of which must be that of creating a necessity for the transmission of bills to a large amount to England in anticipation of drafts made on American account from China and other points._ We have more than once ad- Bonus 4 added.

Should such an operation be determined upon, it is not unlikely that capitalists here may be tempted to take part in it. It is, in fact, certain that they would do so. They are understood to have pretty well got rid of their scrip in the 8,000,0001. loan just contracted for the relief of Ireland, and if such be the case, their bards will be but the more free 'to engage in fresh undertakings.

"To Pro lessor Hol oway.—Sir, A son of mine, sixteen years of age, was affected with ulcers on his limbs and body for more than three years, from which :mall pieces of bone had been removed from time to time. I applied to several medical men in St. John's, but all to no p rpose; 1 was then induced to try your ointment and pills, which made a complete cure. Several months have since elapsed, and there is not the slightest appearance of their return.—(Signed) JAMES WETMOBB.
