The Navy vote would be £7,561,000 ; the Ordnance vote would be £2,679,127, being an increase of £135,568 over the vote of last year, a great portion of which was due, as in the case of the Navy, to a deferred vote of last year. The residue was owing to an increase of 1,200 men and to putting the ports in a state of defence. The miscellaneous votes, exclusive of votes for Ireland, would be £3,750,000, being an increase of £397,000. The increase was owing to the expenses of the poor-law and the prosecution of prisoners, and another portion to the increase of printing and stationery for the Houses of Parliament.

UNWILLINGNESS OF IIIGIILANI! LABOURERS TO WORK.—From what we hear from various quarters, the . Highland Destitution Committee will; require to exercise a very strict vigilance, and to be firm to sternness, if they, are to prevent the money with which they have been en-. trusted for the relief of helplessness and want, being con-. verted into an encouragement to idleness and dishonesty. There is no doubt whatever that a large number of the Highland labourers employed , on railways in the Lowlands have returned, and are returning homeward, attracted by the hope of being able to live there without workbag. For instance, on one contract on the Edinburgh and Northern, near Kirkcaldy, 90 Highland labourers have gone home since the end of October, and of these about 50 left during December and January. The manager re monstrated with them repeatedly, and almost invariably got the same answer—that they would now get " plenty of porridge" at home for nothing. About forty have also left another contract in the same district, avowedly on the same inducements. A short time ago, a contractor on the same line, suffering from want of hands made a tour through parts of Inverness and Argyle, offering employ ment to 300 men,, at wages varying from 2s. 4d. to 3s. a day ; and after making every exertion, could only obtain between thirty and forty.—Scotsman.

It was stated by the police that their plan was, for one of them to go into banking houses and watch in what pocket parties deposited their money, and an accomplice waiting in the neighbourhood ready to act on the information thus ob tained. On the examination of the prisoners, one pro duced a cheque for SA ss. which was genuine, and said he had gone into the banking house to get it cashed;. and it was stated by the officers, that thieves were in the habit of getting these genuine cheques as blinds, so that, in the event of suspicion, they might produce them, and then .it might be supposed to'be a mere mistake their entering the wrong bank. The. evidence against them not being strong. enough to warrant their detention, they were (ha charged. Shortly after, a:member of the committee of bankers called at.the justireroonr, and said that a gentle , man had been robbed of .£10;000 after leaving one of the first banking houses in the city. MATRIMONIAL CORRECTION.—The Times of Friday It is our duty to acknowledge a compliment we have just received, and to impart to, our readers a fact of some interest concerning a historical fact which has al ready caused some excitement, and bids fair to occasion a little more. In a recent copy °four journal we alluded, in speaking of the conquest of Seinde, to the brazen whip with -which fusser Khan was wont; according to certain legends, to chastise his offending wives, endive hinted our suspicions that fact had as large a share m fable in the materials of this edifying narrates. To extinguish our doubts andconfirm our faith, Major-General Napier had not only the politeness to inform us that the ' identical' whip was in -his possession but he was good enough to despatch it across the channel for our inspection, and a gentleman yesterday did us the honour to call upon , us, at the Gene ral's request, with the veritable Scindian scarifier' in all its unnatural' proportions: We regret extremely that our unpictorial character debars us from soriveying - to our readers so vivid •an idea of this effective machine as could be given by some weekly cotemporaries ; but we can readily enter'into the unwillingness of a ladrto share the flight of a husband, who included such implements among the necessaries of his household. To princes about to marry, we hope the story will furnish a warning as ser viceable as anyin that immense stock of instructive-ex amples supplied by the nuptials of last autumn?' INTREPID CONDUCT Or A YOUTH.—On Friday mum- ing, between twelve and one o'clock, an express was re ceived at the London engine stations of the outbreak of a most destructive fire in the town of Old Brentford, in the premises of Mr. Grover, a boot and shoemaker. A youth named George Best, in the service of Mr. O'Hara,. butcher, first discovered the 'fire, and ) owing to his intrepid con duct, was the instrument of saving five lives from- a hor rible death. He micceeded, with the aid of a poleaxe used for killing bullocks,- in breaking open the door, when he ascended the staircase; and made for Mr. Grover's bed room, but the smoke had obtained such power over the inmates, that they were perfectly unconscious of. what was going on, and, in-the course of a very few minutes longer they must hire been burnt to death. Best having laid hold of C-rover's leg„ shook him violently, and took up a couple- of 'his children in his arms and . ran down the stairs with them. Having placed them in- safe custody, he returned and saved Mrs. Grover and her hus band, and a third child was saved in a similar way. Not feel ing then satisfied that all were saved, he returned into the burning premises for the third time,- and inspected every room not on fire, and being .convinced that all the inmates had already been got out, he was- about to run down stairs to escape himself, when a large sheet of flame overtook a on miaptply knocked him down,. but having recovered •himself he• opened one of the nacK windows and leaped into the back yard. When picked up he was quite insensible, and such a'powerful effect had the smoke upon him that the blood issued from his mouth and nose, and it was some time before the youth could be restored Feb, 23, 184. Gray's Inn. He further Stated that his falhor had been in good circumstances, but had become so redtteed as to be obliged to send him to sea five months ago, and that the ship had left him at Exmouth. The worthy clergy man gave him a shilling, at which the poor boy burst into tears of gratitude ; but the kindness of the former - did not end here, as, seeing the youth so foot-sore and distressed? he gave him a note to his housekeeper at Yatesburyf desiring her to clothe and keep and feed the bearer until his return. He told the boy at parting that he would inquire into his story, and if he found it to be true, he would procure him a situation, or otherwise provide for him. The gentleman did inquire, and found the father " lodging on the third floor over a carpenter's shop, and in a state of extreme destitution, although he had for merly not only been the owner of the house, but had built a large portion of the street in which it stood. He said that his son George was naturally of a good disposi tion, but that he had sent him' to sea to keep hiM from the contamination of bad company. I told him of my intentions towards his son, for which he expressed much gratitude. I returned to Chippenham early on Saturday morning, and then learnt to my extreme surprise and regret that the poor boy had been found dead." The poor boy was seen on his road to Yatesbury, but missed his way, and after a variety Of sufferings over two days and nights (during which he was kindly treated by several parties), his suffering affected his mind, and hews found as stated. The kind-hearted rector undertook at his owtr expense to' inter the body in the churchyard at. Yatesbury. REPORTS OP rn E FACTORY INSPECTORS. — These re ports-, for the half-year ending the 31st of October,. 1846, have just been pub lished. The several inspectors point out some difficultii?s which , attend the enforcing of the law, especially thai; which is , applicable to print works, and that which is :intendedto secure the factory workers from injury by machinery. Little is said in any of the reports about the ti sme worked in factories during the past half-year. Testimony, however, is borne to the beneficia l ion of those clauses of the last passed Factory Act, Pgulate the employment of children and young The depression of trade which more or less prevailed throastglu nit all the manufacturing districts during the period over which. the reports extend is ad verted to ; and the ugh such depression had " removed all inducement to • work more than 12 hours a-day," the occupiers of three cloth-dressing mills in Mr. Saunders' district' had been co , twitted of working young persons ,in the night. Mr. Sa' unders dwells a good deal on the edu cation of the factor y workers, and includes in this report extracts from an • able paper by Mr. R. Baker of Leeds, "On the e ducational state of his district, from which we may Tirol oably make extracts next week.. Mr. Saunders strongly • urges the importance of granting pecu niary aid to- the pi iblic schools in his district, or, as he says, " the absolut e necessity of doing so, if the train ing and instruction factory children are to receive in these schools- are to be madesi•eally useful and efficient." has been,' says Mr. Saunders, " a considerable )er of hilt iren durin s _ to add •to what I stated in 1843 in respect to Their eM ciency depends much on the zeal, and s E (.1 by the authority to whom the super intendence of the school is entrrusted. The general state and condition of many are" improved. Well-trained and efficient teachers are more justly'appreciated, and greater exertions therefo re made for the purpose of obtaining their services; be tt the want of funds continues to operate very prejudicially in this most important particular." ECONOMICAL .AND NUTRITIOUS SOUPS.—M. SOyeT, the cook- of the , Refc min Club, has lately paid attention to the production,, at the cheapest rate, of nutritious soups for the poor. He strongly recommends the two following receipts to the attention of the public.

Castle, Northumberland, for interment in the family. vauL in Westminster Abbey. The funeral procession left the Castle precisely at nine o'clack, the body being conveyed in a hearse drawn by six horses, and attended; by the late Duke's household establishment and his numerous. tenants in the n orthern part of the County of Northumberland. It arrived at the Gateshead Station of the York and Newcastle Railway shortly after five o'clock in the afternoon' where a special train was in rea diness to proceed with it to Northumberland House, Charing Cross, London, where it will remain till Tuesday (to -day), and then be deposited with august ceremony in the family vault, which is situate in that part of the ancient and venerable building known as the Chapel of SL Nicholas. The arrangements were on a scale, and in. a.style of splendour, suitable to. the exalted rank of the illustrious deceased. The body was inclosed within, a mahogany shell of exquisite workmanship, and French polished, the inside being lined with pure white silk, pad ded and fringed with rich silk fringe and lace of the same colour, and the shroud was of the same rich material- The shell was inclosed in a leaden coffin, and both,placed in an outer coffin of oak, covered with rich erimaon,Genoa silk velvet, and ornamented in a magnificent style, the deceased's armorial bearings being emblazoned thereon in gold. At the sides and ends of the outer coffin, which was divided into compartments by rows of nails, plate d in gold, were eight massive handles, each su rmounted by a ducal coronet, and on the top were the ducal coronet with the star and badge of the Order of the Garter, and other heraldic achievements. The weight of the coffin and body was estimated at about eleven hundred weight. There were upwards of three hundred of his Grace's ten antry on foot, and about six hundred mounted to ac company the proceSsion. Nearly the whole of the popu, lation turned out. At Felton, Morpeth, and other places the shops were closed, and the bells of the churches rang muffled peals. AFFECTING AND FATAL CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Friday se'nnight, an inquest -was held at Caine on a youth who was found drowned in a ditch in Green-lane, Blacklands, Berkshire. He appeared to be about 15 years of age, of pleasing countenance, and was dressed as a sailor boy. In the absence of other evidence, a verdict of " Found drowned " was returned. After the inquest, the coroner • received a communication, from the Rev. J. S. M. Kyrle, rector of Yatesbury, stating that further evidence on the case could be given, and a further investigation in cense ; quence took place. It then appeared that the reverend gentleman named had, while driving in his gig to Chip penham on the 25th ultimo, o bserve the deceased on the road, travelling in pain from sore feet, .but not begging ; P that he conversed with him ; that he said his name was George Beale, and his age 14 ; that he was going to London, and that his parents lived at Chichester-place, landlords of Ireland, hitherto they h - ad paid not indeed £393,000 of poor-rates. It was not easy to state precisely what the expenditure required would be. In foul; weeks o: "ovember the expenditure £383,000, in December £742,000, in January £772,000. The persons relieved in October were 150,000, in Novem ber 285,000, in January 440,000, and in February 571,000. Up to 20th February there had been issued by the Exche quer to Ireland £2,400,000 in November, £2,000.000 of which had been issued by the Board of Works.

STOCK OF FOOD In the Agricultural Gazelle of Saturday last, there is a very important tabular document. It is a ,;:tement of the estimated amount, as compared with other years,9f farmers Being an, abstract of ninety-four separate re- turns obtained from practical farmers, in thirty-six Eng lish, Scotch, and Welsh counties, it must be presumed to represent the truth as far as it can be represented by es- timates. The prospect is any thing but gratifying. It shows not only that farmers hold less than usual of any description of food, but that the stock of some is well nigh eibausted, and that the quantity of wheat in their hands is compara tively small. The editor of the .Agrievitural Gazette, by whom the returns in question were abstracted, infers that the stock of wheat is probably one-fifth or one-sixth less than usual, and that appearances aze against an early har- than will suffice for seed , and peas are unusually short ; and that if there are enough potatoes for seed, it is only because no one desires to plant the usual quantity. We have carefully gone through the ninety-four state ments, and we find that in WHEAT twenty-two persona only speak of an average quantity on hand, four of an un usual quantity, and sixty-eight of much diminished stock. Yet it is of wheat that the most favourable account is that the hocks of oats, beans, If we turn icobWey7 oats, - beans, and peas the iantiqr may be stated in the following table : Above an average 14 I 1 None, or scarcely any, except for seed .

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—OD Tuesday last. nine per sons left Bideford in the omnibus for Torrington, most of them for the purpose of attending the market at the latter place. On passing the quay at Bideford, the horse took fright, and plunged into the sea, when, dreadful to relate, eight out of the nine were drowned, the tide being up at the time. The driver of the vehicle was saved. _ CHINESE SvGAn.—The Sheba from China, was hauled into the St. Katherine Dock on Thursday, with a cargo tons of sugar, the growth of the es It is of a remarkably fine quality, anu y_ packed in bags, each containing 61bs.• Ti cargo of Chii re sugar which has arrived in the ARRIVAL OV JAVA SILIGARS.—Two cargoes of Java sugar, belonging to the Dutch government, have arrived off the coast ; and one, consisting of 450 tons, had already been sold in London ) at 335. afloat. The other cargo still remains unsold, though an offer of 545. has been made for it, duty paid. This offer was refused, and the rate of 33a afloat, was damanded, which is somewhat higher than 54s duty-paid, as the landing charges and interest upon the duty must be added. LOANS FOR DRAINAG] The following were among %pplications for loam. under the new drainage act, which appeared in the London Gazette, of Tuesday last; Thomas Clifton, Esq., for lands-in the parish of Lytham, .1:25 , 00; the Earl of Derby, for _land in St. Michael's, _ _ £B,OOO _do. for Huyton, P4;cot,Ormakirk, &c., £13,00( , for land in Bolton and Deane, £lO,OOO A COZPORATION INTEnmniz:—The fondness of cor porate functionaries for good feeding, generally, has pas sed into a proverb. The Leeds corporation illustrate the characteristic in a way peculiarly their own, for informed by the Leeds papers, that the council town, during a meeting last week, " adjourned - for twenty minutes, and partook of the hospitality of the mayor, who had kindly provided turtle soup - and sherry, ad libitum." They returned from the feast to discuss the state of the Leeds burial ground. Food rioting has temporarily revived in the north.

At Beau ly the rioters twice deforced and assaulted the authorities, and threw.a cart over the quay, but seventy : soldiers from Fnrt, f oon restored order . Five men and one wo man were also carried off to Inverness jail. At Bailin traid, the mob, principally females, turned back the grain is feared thaf there the civil arm will require assistance. On Tuesday evening, a respectable man applied at th Lambeth police-court, for the magistrate's advice and sistance to obtain possession of his son, a lad 15-, age. who had been seduced from home by the widow of a 'ears of distinguished officer, recently deceased. She was GO. The first intimation the parents received of an improper inti macy, was by the lad giving up an excellent situation in a merchant's office. The lady had made him rich presents, and his parents had discovered that they were going.off to Guernsey, to be married, Mr. Elliott, the magiStrate, said the only course was; to get the lad away, give him a good flogging, and keep him at home.

At this sen tence the unfortunate wretches seemed rejoiced. ROBBERY OF •C10,000.--A robbery of no less a sum than £lO,OOO, in Bank of England notes, was on Tuesday, about one o'clock, effected in the vicinity of the Royal Exchange. A clerk in the service of Strahan, Paul, and Bates, bankers in the Strand, had been collecting in the course of the morning at several of the city banks, and the last place he called at was Deacon's bank, in Birchin lane. On leaving, he carelessly deposited his leather case, • • Large of riot an a chain or any security being attached to it. It was raining at the time, and, during the confusion that existed in that crowded neighbourhood, some of the ex pert swell mob gentry managed to extract the case, and got clear off.

The Galway Mercury also relates a number of instances of death from starvation, and, as regards one of thenti says—" The cruelty of the policy sanctioned by Lord'John Russell is found in the melancholy truth, that on ThnrSday morning last a miserable being was found in the streets of Tuam ' with her infant closely wrapped to her bosom"; but, alas -! that infant had fallen a. victim to the fell destroyer which now, in every direction, traverses the land r ." The aceounts from Dingle' are to the effect that deaths and starvation are increashal there, want carrying off many, and dysentery, the effect of want, also - doing its work. The , Kerry Examiner says on the subject— " Persons are to be seen at alt times going about with plates in their hands, collecting- money to pay for coffins. Where is not in this world a more wretched or more desti tute locality than this. The starving people . go into the tillage fields cad re-dig them; this they do in the opal " day, for the chance of finding an old and rotten potato; and I can assure you they lithour hard at this work. The Mayo Constitution detaile=the deaths of' many from disease and hunger during-the previous week.. Of a place called Bret ity it is said—" In this village, there is not a family that does not appear likely to fall victims to famine." In all, the names of twenty-four poor creatures who have perished' from want in that locality are given, and twelve more deaths had just been reported. The mortality in the Cork workhouse, owing to its condition (says the Examiner), had increased 36 over the previous week, the deaths last week being 164. The county Mayo , appears destined to- occupy a black page in the history of the famine which is-desolating Ire land. The following - details are contained in. one publica tion of the Mayo Constitution : "In the neighbourhood of Newport; on Sunday morning last, a poor man, named Mulloy, was found on the road side. His emaciated frame betok e ned that his-death was the result of want. He was a native . of Burrishoole. On Friday last a poor man died at Deradda, near Newport, of actual hunger, leaving a family to follow in rapid -succes sion. On Saturday, a poor man was also found expiring from exhaustion at Rooskeen, and notwithstandingrelief k being brought, the poor man died, food having come too late ! In the neighbourhood of Breaffy, near this town, the following deaths have occurred from starvation and I , disease —Michael M'Enally, of Roeman, on. the 12th Peter Swords, of Derrinacrisham, on the 12th ; his wife on the 12th ; James Gavan, of Ballyshawu on tbe Bth; his wife on the 10th. All these cases proceeded from dts" • eatery and exhaustion. On Sunday, the 7th inst., gr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest on the body of Patrick Maughan, at Coonanarrow. The deceased has left a family, who , are in the most indigent state. The jury's ver dict was—' Death by starvation.' In this village there is not a family that do not appear likely to, fe4,victims to famine. On the same day, on the body of JaMe.gnrislane, at Kilcrimmin. The deceased was put on the public works a few days previous to his death, and was hastening on Saturday evening to the office of the pay-clerk, but being very weak from want of food, he fell on the waY, and was found dead next morning.
