(From the Standard.) W e have thought that it might be acceptable to some of our readers to have an opportunity of com paring Napoleon's unsuccessful enterprise against St. Jean d'Acre with the late brilliant exploit of Admiral Stopford, and we have therefore elsewhere copied the int of the siege in 1799, from Sir Walter Scott's •or. It will be seen that the great ;e and country besiged the fortress with an army of 10,000 of the best ad failed ; while an English fleet, lite of ._ rying anything like the same number of men,'carried the place after a cannonade of a few Claiming all the superiority for Englishmen )st inveterate patriot can demand, still this ily not c contrast is too violent to be accounted for by any dare een the military qualities of Europeans. We for an explanation to the mode and means of Te need not look long. The naval attack brought to bear a broadside, or a number of broad sides, amounting to between 400 and 500 guns, whereas the battering train of Napoleon did not exceed 30 ; re the circumstances under which r broadside to bear, from the cir- The ship may continue low d iffe cumstanc the fight at pleasure, and may in a mo ment change her position to evade any interposed ob stacle, or to take advantage of any favourable contin md battery is a fixture, the permanent marl for a retaliatory attack. Nearly 200 years ago the illustrious Blake discovered, and (at Tunis) proved the advantage in this respect of naval warfare even essels ; but it was left to the use of steam navigation to render the necessary success of naval warfare complete. The only serious danger that ever presented itself in the case of an attack upon a mari time fortress by an adequate naval force, namely, the danger of being unable to withdraw from the land, is now at an end ; and as the easy reduction of all the Syrian fortresses in succession demonstrates, no city or fort on the sea, how strongly however it may be forti fied, can count upon resisting a British fleet for 24 hours; consequen ly no coast is any longer inaccessi itary descent; we may be said to be on the confines a very maritime nation for all pur poses of attack, though happily ourselves unassailable; and therefore, whatever nation having a sea coast shall make war upon us must line that coast from end to end with troops, or calculate upon having the war• upon ''s own soil, and in a spot chosen at our own discre- Such are the immense advantages which the new arm in war—steam navigation—has conferred upon us, to keep them as long as we shall be able to maintain our naval ascendancy THE TAKING OF ST. JEAN D'ACRE. (From the Morning Herald.) The fall of St. Jean d'Acre is an event of no ordi ry moment. Lae first place, the feelings which that brilliant -nt is fitted to call forth, differ from the mere ze of national vanity. The military renown .c nation is a portion—and no inconsiderable —of its wealth and power. The fame of our is and Wellingtons is, in itself, equivalent to the ,sion of fleets and armies. In this sense, Eng .,(l has gained much by the capture of St. Jean d'Acre. England has proved to the world that the breed of her heroic seamen is not worn out—that she yet possesses naval commanders, who are no unworthy successors to him who conquered at the Nile and at Trafalgar —and that while the spirit of her navy has not degenerated, the proficiency of her seamen in the arts of offensive warfare have wonderfully increased. The efficiency with which our guns were " served," at d'Acre, has, perhaps, no parallel in the history eitervescenc Kelso St. Jea inc recent exhibition of England's prowess has !en made at no unseasonable time. We, amongst hers, have long marked with grief and dismay, the 'ich our navy has, for many years, been France an d R uss i a h ave been silently g formidable fleets into existence, the navy of nd has been sustained, less by the care of go mt. than by the historical recollections with F.nglish navy is identified. We make this n no spirit of party ; and Our statement is )e correct, by the fact, that thirty thousand best of our seamen have been for many ;n the ships of foreign powers. They -t of England, because England has services at so high a rate as been willing to do. The y of such a course on the part of the English neat is obvious enough—its injustice is equally hest. It is the policy of England to engage in her 'L'e best seamen whom the world can supply : - 1 1 v, her policy not to permit such sea .. which the overnments offspring of the soil of England, to transfer !s to rival powers h is unjust, moreover, eamen higher wages than n afford to pay—unjust,because richest country in the world, and can, better than any other country, pay a high price for seamen of the first class. countr the navy has been, for many years past, ne .l proved, moreover, by the circumstance, that , the government is making , efforts to impart increased effi ileet. If, however, there had been no glect of the true sources of England's id security, the bustle that is now apparent Majesty's dockyards would have been unne- oment Le decay, or the imputed decay—in the naval gth of England was gradually generating in this se of insecurity. The sense of insecurity 'as accompanied by the exhibition s on the tiers, of a spirit disposed to be aggres s that would attend an invasion of i.,.„ e facil &ngland were familiarly discussed in Paris. They vere no less frequently, it may be presumed, canvassed St. Petersburg. Our coasts were unguarded. Our dockyards were exr sed to attack. Our ships were rotting.in ordinary,' or were employed on service of doubtful policy in remote quarters of the globe. Eng land, in short, seemed weak ; and to seem weak is too often, in such cases, to prove weak. recent d weakness was dangerous to lernonstration that the navy of me navy with which Nelson sieved triumphs, is calculated to add to _.„Au power of this country. As the insults offered to the British flag—otFered and tamely submitted to —in the. Black Sea, and on the co ast o f M exico, tended to bring us-into collision with our most formidable op so the storming . of St. Jean d'Acre must tend -^iieo with a stronger de s i re t h an some . in tly manifested, to cultivate the re lations of peace with this country. So far, we thi n k it impossible to regard the recent achievements of our navy with other than feelings of unmixed satisf ac ti on . Whatever may be thought of the eastern policy o f L or d P a lmerston, his lordship i s entitled, at all events, to the praise that may never be withheld from immedi a t e success . Had the English ponent to inspire our e of them have rf St. Jean d'Aere e Secretary for Foreign Affairs would have been held responsible for that disastrous result. The English fleet having " covered itself with glory," it were un just to deny to his lordship some portion of the reflected lustre of the great exploit. Still, Sir Robert Stopford and his brave companions in arms may assuredly prove themselves entitled to the gratitude of their country, without Lord Palmerston being able to find, in the heroism of the English navy, a justification of his eastern policy. Lord Keane stormed Ghuznee; but the prudence of Lord Auck land in projecting the expedition to Cabool admits of the gravest possible doubt. So, Lord Palmerston has effected the capture of St. Jean d'Acre; yet is it quite certain that he has not been, all the while, merely ad vancing the permanent interests of Russia ? The English fleet destroyed the fleet opposed to it at Nava rino ; but to the destruction of the Turkish fleet on that occasion no small portion of the pe r pl ex iti es th a t beset the eastern question at the present day may be traced. We are willing, in short, that " success" should be estimated at its full value, in deciding on the merits of any general course of policy; but let us guard against the tendency to regard " success" as everything. The God "Eventus" was not, in ancient times, denied Divine honours ;—yet the justice of quarrels was, even during the prevalence of paganism, referred to the de cision of deities of a higher order. We have captured St. Jean d'Acre. We have dis• sipated into thin air, the prestige that till lately invested as with a halo the name of Mehemet Ali. We have, in all probability, destroyed for ever the power of that hitherto successful ruler; but have we done aught to restore strength to the Ottoman empire ? We fear not. We fear that the Sultan has been reduced to the rank of a puppet; and that the sources of the Turkish em pire's strength are irretrievably destroyed. " Reform ing" Sultans (of whom the present is the second) can never, we fear, exercise the influence that once be longed to the veritable " fathers of the faithful." The policy of these turbaned " reformers" is a series of out rages on those feelings, which, in their operation, im parted, in other days, their formidable power to the successors of the Caliphs. If the supremacy of the. Sultan in Egypt is to be hereafter maintained, it must be maintained, we fear, by the unceasing intervention of England, or of Russia. ACCIDENTS TO STEAM VESSELS A French writer has recently compiled an interesring summary of accidents to and by British steam-vessels for a series of years, from which also may be gathered the number of steam-vessels possessed by this country at different periods. The materials of this summary are supposed to be derived from reports prepared some time since by the Admiralty here. The small compass in which the results are here compressed renders them worthy of extract, as comprising all the principal facts of a long document : In 1817 there were 14 steam-vessels running; one took fire and was burnt; the boilers of another exploded; nine persons perished in this year. 1818-19 steamers ; ncfaccident. 1819-24 steamers; no accident. 1820-34 steamers; one burnt; nobody suffered. 1821-59 steamers; no accident. 1822-85 steamers ; no accident. 1823-101 steamers; no accident. 1824-116 steamers ; the boilers of two exploded ; deaths three. 1825-153 steamers ; one wrecked ; two, the Comet and the Ayr, came in collision ; and 62 persons lost their lives; the boi' ' . 1826 six sufferers this year ters of another exploded. —230 steamers ;_ one burnt ; explosion on another ; , 1827-255 steamers ; one wrecked ; explosion on another ; two lives lost. 1828-274 steamers ; two wrecked; one burnt ; explosion on two ; one life lost. 1829-289 steamers : three wrecked ; explosion on one ; six lives lost. 1830-298 steamers ; three wrecked ; explosion of one. The Forly . totally lost, but the number of persons on board not precisely known. The other accidents did not occasion a death. 1831-324 steamers ; 2 wrecked ; 2 collisions ; 1 burnt ; 119 persons perished on the Rothsay Castle, near Beaumaris. ' 1832-352 steamers ; no accidents. 1833-387 steamers ; 6 wrecked ; 1 burnt, and 73 deaths, without including the Erin, which was lost, vessel, and all on board. 1834-430 steamers ; 2 wrecked; 1 burnt ; and 1 explosion. The Superb lost with all on board in the North Sea, number of sufferers unknown. The other casualities caused no loss of life. 1835-503 steamers ; 3 wrecked ; 2 came into collision ; 1 explosion of boilers ; 13 lives lost. 1836-561 steamers ; 2 wrecked ; 4 collisions ; 2 burnt ; 1 explosion ; no life lost. 1837-707 steamers ; 2 wrecked ; 4 run against each other ; 3 took fire and burnt; 1 explosion ; total victims 29. 1838-766 steamers ; 5 wrecked ; 2 collisions ; 6 explo sions ; 132 lives lost. The total number of lives lost therefore is 456, not including those on board the Erin, Forly and Superb, which may be estimated at 120 more. It will be re marked that, notwithstanding 20 years experience, the year 1838 was the most disastrous. The Killarney, Northern Jack and Forfarshire werp lost, and the famous Victoria employed in transatlantic navigation, had two explosions of her boilers. THE STORMING OF ACRE The following graphic and spirited sketch is given by the Devonport Gazette, from the letter of an officer of her Ma jesty's steam-frigate Gorgon : "On the last - day of September we were despatched from Beyrout, with three steamers under our command, to bow- bard this devoted place for three days before the general at tack was made, which we commenced on the Ist of October, by standing in within range, and firing shells as hard as we could pelt, and they returning two for one. They fell around us like hail, but, strange to say, not a shot struck us ; our bombardment was not very successful, as more than half the shells burst before they reached the shore, owing to the fuses being badly bored ; all the shells from the steamers failed alike, a circumstance not very creditable to those who made them, and sadly disappointing to us. It is not likely they were ever tried at such a distance before, 4,000 yards. At half-past four o'clock, (how shall I describe this,) as if by one consent, all firing ceased, and oh, Heavens ! what a sight ! The whole town appeared as if it was in the air ; so awfully grand a sight no one can describe. We saw nothing but one devilish cloud extending thousands of yards into the air and on all sides, and then we felt an awful shock which gave the line of battle ships a heel of two degrees, so that you may judge, from the moment of the explosion, all firing from the town ceased. The Turkish admiral, alker Bey, was boarded at one o'clock in the morning by an Egyptian colo nel, who informed him that they were evacuating the town as fast as possible. Walker Bey immediately landed with 300 men, and took possession of the town, making 3000 prisoners. Thus fell this tremendous fortress, which has not been over rated by report, for I really think it is the strongest place (next to Gibraltar) in the world, and I think we should never have taken it but for the explosion, which was caused by one of our shells bursting in their main magazine of powder, by which, to speak within bounds, 2000 souls were blown to atoms, besides beasts of burden of every description. In all, the loss of the Egyptians is computed at 3000 killed and wounded. At daylight what a sight was exposed to our view ! The stupendous fortification, that only twelve hours before could boast of being among the strongest in the world, was so riddled, we could not find a square foot that had not a shot. On the morning of the 4th I went ashore to witness the devastation ; the sight beggared all description. The bastions were strewed with dead, the guns dismounted, and all sorts of havoc. I then came to the spot where the explosion took place ; it has laid a space of two acres quite bare, and hollowed it out as if a quarry had been worked there for years. And, oh heavens, what a sight ! It makes my blood run cold to write of it. Mangled human bodies of both sexes, strewed in all directions, women searching for their husbands and relatives, tearing their hair, beating their breasts, and howling and crying most piteously ; God forbid 1 should ever see the like again." MEHEMET ALI AND THE ENGLISH (From the Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald.) Of the character and of the friendly disposition of Mehe met AR towards the people of England we never had a doubt ; but, for the benefit of the sceptical on these points, we have now great pleasure in giving publicity to some interesting passages from the communication of a much-valued corre spondent, whose connection with the Oriental Steam Packet Company of Liverpool opens to him authentic sources of very important information : Captain Engledue, of the Great Liverpool, has just now communicated to me some very interesting details of his con versations with the Pacha. You are of course aware that Engledue went in gallantly with his ship and passengers from Malta, after Sir J. Lewis had taken out the mails, and that, in implicit reliance upon Mehemet Ali's promise, be an chored in the very jaws of his batteries. He tells me that ' the old man is a regular trump ;' and infinitely beyond alike the red-tapery of the whig-radical officials of England and the stock-jobbing gasconaders of France. Tell your countrymen,' said the undaunted veteran, ' that I know it is not the people of England who are fighting against me, but my only two enemies, Lords Palmerston and Ponsonby, whs., after giving their assent to my con quest and possession of Syria, now turn round and take it from me.' Boghos Bey, his prime minister, told Capt. Engledua that the Pacha had been deceived by the French, and that he meant to have nothing further to do with them, but should loot., to the people of England, whom he esteemed, and for whose alliance he was anxious. The old man, Mehemet, had, through his glass, watched Engledue's approach, and admired his faith, courage, and confidence in his promises for the safety of all English mails and passengers, which Engledue relied upon, though none of the tchigs would. At parting, he requested Capt. Engle due to bring him out some English salmon, and some apple trees, on his next voyage, which, of course, will be gladly done. Rather inconsistent though, some may say, to be bombarding his towns at the same time that we are sending him presents of salmon and apple-trees ! But the circum stance marks the imperturbable spirit of the veteran chief, who can give a thought to such things when his empire and his very existence seem in jeopardy. The Pacha most kindly offered the Oriental Steam Company the use of his arsenal at all times, for stores, or such repairs as their vessels may require." RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning, as the mail train from London was approaching Leeds, an accident occurred which was productive of very considerable damage to the carriages forming the train, but which most providen tially did no injury to human life or limb. It seems that when the train approached the junction of the York and North Midland Railway with the North Midland line, on which it was running near to Normanton, owing to the im perfection of one of the self-acting swivels, the points of junction had not been duly adjusted, and the consequence was that, although the engine and tender took the, correct line of road, the whole of the carriages following took the route of the projecting line. Of coarse they did not go far in that direction; carriage after carriage was pulled off the line by the force of the engine which still continued its course, and as each carriage was pulled off it was overturned, and greatly damaged. Great injury was also done to the rails, which were torn from the stone foundations and broken. Some half dozen carriages were overturned, and the passen gers were thrown out, but, as we have already stated, none of them were injured. We understand that the engine pro. ceeded two or three hundred yards before it was brought to a stand. The damage is estimated to amount to nearly £lOOO. The mail bags for Leeds were sent forward by the engine and tender, and the passengers were forwarded by a train which came up shortly afterwards.—Leeds Intelligeneer. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. BRINDLEY From the Chester Courant.) On Friday evening last a public meeting was held, in the Theatre Royal, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Mr. Brindley, the zealous and talented advocate of Chris tianity, from the inhabitants of this city, as an acknowledg ment of his recent services in the cause of Christian truth and morality. The testimonial consisted of the following docu ment, which was signed by 2200 individuals : " November llth, 1840.—TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN BRAND LEY, ESQ.—We, the undersigned Clergy, Magistrates, Bankers, and others, inhabitants of the city of Chester, beg to present Mr. Brindley our grateful acknowledgments of the service be has rendered the cause of Christian - Truth and Morality in this city and neighbourhood, by his exposure of the atheistical, blasphemous, and immoral principles of Socialism : as well as by his arguments on the evidences of the truth and excellence of Revealed Religion. " We beg further to testify to the manner in which Mr. Watts, the Socialist Missionary, in his official capacity, disowned the writings of Robert Owen, the Founder and President of the Socialist body, declaring that he could not conscientiously defend the doctrines they taught ; and that rather than do so, he would at once throw up the discussion. " Mr. Watts and his Chairman having, on the part of the Socialist body, thus withdrawn from the debate, the Rev. Chancellor Raikes, the Moderator on this occasion, declared that under those circumstances, Mr. Brindley was entitled to occupy the remainder of that, and the whole of the following evening, to substantiate his charges. " At the close of the proceedings, the following resolution was moved by the Rev. Charles B. Tayler, and seconded by Wm. Wardell, Esq., Mayor, and passed unanimously : " That it is the opinion of the people of Chester, that Socialism, having had a fair opportunity of defence, has proved itself to be a most ab s urb, blasphemous, and demo ralizing system ; and that it behoves every right-minded man and woman to use all fair and Christian means to uproot that which has been shown to be so fraught with mischief to man kind for time and for eternity.' " The Lord Bishop of the Diocese took the chair, His Lordship, on rising, spoke to the following effect: — Mr. Brindley, I am deputed by my fellow-citizens to be the medium of conveying to you their thanks for the benefit which you have been the means of conferring upon themselves and upon the community at large; and if I feel any hesitation in taking upon myself this task, it arises from one cause, and one cause only. It is a question, indeed, to my mind, whether I ought to be the person who should enjoy this high gratifi cation ; and when the honour was first proposed to me, I could not but think that the privilege more properly belonged to one who is now present, and under whose auspices the victory was achieved which we have now assembled to com memorate. I may indeed appear like one who has kept asunder while the battle was being fought, but who has now come in for the greater share of the spoil. Circumstances have occurred which prevented my attendance at any of your former meetings, and it was but right, therefore, that he who has occupied my present position, on so many previous occa sions, should have been the crowner of the conqueror : but, havinc , been solicited by him to present the memorial, I felt that I could not refuse the pleasing task. (Cheers.) I have often, sir, deeply lamented that it is a matter of so much difficulty in making the evidences of our holy faith plain to those who have not the leisure deliberately to examine its proofs. I have often felt it to be deeply lamented, that a very considerable acquaintance with the historic details of former ages, is indispensable in those who wish to know the solid base on which their religion is founded. But, sir, by the very clear and comprehensive manner in which you have executed this work in your lectures, you have conferred an important benefit upon the community, on the one hand, and have dis comfited the enemies of our religion on the other. (Hear, hear.) And certainly I am not wrong in calling those enemies of our religion, who though they sometimes recognise the Scriptures, do so only in order to give permanence to the falsehood which by the misapplication of its injunctions they wish to establish. And if such persons are enemies to re ligion, I unhesitatingly declare they are enemies to mankind— for what is human life without the light of revelation shining upon it. We know how little there is even in riches and honours to give anything like lasting happiness ;—even in those distinctions which are so much desired—and desired only because they have not been possessed, there is little that can yield the possessor true happiness. But if we look to the labouring classes—to those who are most exposed to the de- religion—religion, which alone can throw a gleam of light over the very darkest path. After having laboured many— many years, without having been able to earn hardly a scanty pittance, is there any gratification in thinking that that pit tance is to be my all for ever. Ah, no ! when the light of the gospel breaks in upon the soul such are not the views it cherishes. Then, I am no longer here to enjoy my all. I am then only a pilgrim upon the road, and must bear such treatment only until I reach the journey's end. Then our labour, however severe—our industry, however ill repaid,- is cheered by the reflection that it is appointed by God, and that in the performance of our duties, we are only fulfilling our Master's will. (Hear, hear.) The blessings which the gospel communicates are an invaluable treasure, and the man who deprives us of them makes us poor indeed. He who stands in the way between mankind and-this worst of robbers, is the person to whom we ought to look up with the deepest grati tude ; and it is because the inhabitants of Chester feel assured that you have acted this noble part—that you have been the successful champion in this holy cause, that they have com missioned me to present you with this testimonial of their feelings. And I am happy to say, that no less than two thousand two hundred persons have thus recorded their sense of your services, and their acknowledgments for the benefits which you have conferred up:in them. (Cheers.) But the inhabitants of Chester are likewise aware, that in the per formance of the labours to which you have been called, you have had to forego the emoluments and advantage of a pro fession in which your talents ensured success—you have had to forego those comforts and sympathies of domestic life which every man must highly value—and they have therefore deputed me to convey to you this additional tribute of their feelings (a purse containing 75 sovereigns ;) and this gift is to my mind only the corroboration of a truth of which I have long been assured—that those who give their services to the cause of God, will never be the losers by such a sacrifice. (Cheers.) We read in historic annals of a king who was accustomed to say to his minister, " You take care of my affairs, provide for my interests, and it shall be my b us i ness to secure yours ;" and I do believe, sir, (said his lordship,) that the King of Heaven will never allow you to be a loser, in having given up your secular engagements in defence of his honour and his truth. You have renounced those engage ments and interests in order that you may hunt out and pursue the enemies of God, and, while doing so, you have that gracious promise to rest upon which declares, that those who give up houses and lands, and wife and children, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundred-fold even in this world, and in the world to come life everlasting. (Loud applause.) Mr. Brindley, in a long and eloquent reply, which occupied nearly two hours in its delivery, accepted the testimonial, and expressed the gratification he felt on receiving such a signal mark of their approval. He then gave an outline of the circumstances which first induced him to take up the advocacy of Christianity against Socialism—recounted the many victo ries which he had gained over his opponents—and professed his determination to continue his holy enterprise as long as God gave him health and ability to pursue it. The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Rev. Chancellor Raikes, Rev. F. Parry, Rev. S. Luke, and the Right Worshipful the Mayor; and a vote of thanks having been presented to, the Lord Bishop for his services in the chair, the meeting separated about ten o'clock. STATE OF TRADE , MANCHESTER. — We are glad to be enabled to state, that, since yesterday week, there has been a very palpable improve ment in our market, both as regards yarn and goods, and an extensive business has been done—in some few cases at a trifling advance, especially in fine 27-inch printing cloth, and in yarns suitable for the East India market—but, generally at the prices of yesterday week. The purchases for the East Indies, which have been to a considerable extent, are, we presume, chiefly speculative, in anticipation of favourable advices by the overland mail, now nearly due ; and the im provement in goods may be ascribed, in a great degree, to the accounts brought by the President of the improving state of business in America. On the whole, though prices continue miserably low, there was a more cheerful and buoyant feeling in the market yesterday than has been experienced for some months past ; and a gradual and steady improvement ap peared to be confidently anticipated. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov. 30.—We have had a rather brisk demand for goods to-day, especially for the coarser kinds of flannels ; but there is no improvement in prices. In the•wool market there is no change, either in demand or price. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, DEC. I.—Contrary to expectation, we have to report a somewhat animated mar ket to-day. Some heavy sales were made in woollens for shipping, and the demand for the home trade was tolerable. The news brought by the President, and other arrivals from America, has had a favourable effect. Prices are firmer, both in the raw material and manufactured goods. Little change for the better has taken place in the warehouses, which are generally slack of business ; and while some mills are full of work, others are doing very little.—Manchester Guardian. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY There are no less than 850 persons in the lazaretto of Malta. Among them was an old Maltese woman, 107 years of age, who had resided for the last 26 years in Egypt. The first secretary of the governor had visited the Emir Bechir in the lazaretto. The latter would, it was thought be allowed to proceed wherei7 he pleased, except to Spria, after termina ting his quarantine. He is now in the 80th yaar of his age, and is accompanied by a young wife. On the 14th he left the lazaretto with his family and suite. A bonnet is now exhibiting at the institute, in Niblo's garden, New York, made of melon seed. It contains 8763 seeds, and 17,776 stitches, each taken with a needle. This is a monument of both patience and industry. FLUSHING, Nov. 20.—T0-day trials have been made by his majesty's command, in our road, by Captain Gobins, of the artillery, of an instrument invented by him, and which possesses the remarkable property of increasing the firing of our men of war, in comparison with that of other nations, five or six-fold. We hear that these trials are highly satis factory. SEVERE EARTHQUAKE AT ZANTE.—ZANTE, Nov. 23, 1840.—This island has been afflicted by one of those visi tations to which it is unfortunately subjected every twenty or twenty-five years. On the 30th ult., Friday last, a most violent shock of an earthquake was felt throughout the island, and for some distance at sea. The poor inhabitants rushed from their trembling houses to the streets for safety ; but there was none, for the tiles and stones threatened destruc tion to all. After a few seconds the shock ceased; and, so on as the first panic had subsided, it was found that the damage done to the town was greater than in any preceding shock si nce 1775 . All the houses have suffered, many are Itvi laes prostrate,fe inhabitantslfelt w i m th a n gr y eaa m t teeo without , e ivti m ho ol u eu s nt t cse b h, e e la r t e ne b dr u. In s i etahnvedi country l great r ay n r u et h m ee b n s e t li r , ro s ecl o ky f destroyed, the earth having in one part opened into a formid able chasm. A few hours after the shock, Sir Howard Douglas arrived here on a visit from Corfu ; and the effect of the shock on board the steamer was that of a sudden stop ping of the engines ; immediately the commander of the steamer declared it to be an earthquake, and Zante was seen from the vessel to be covered with a dense cloud of dust. On nearing the island, masses of the hills were seen to have fallen into the sea; and, as they approached the town, the damage to the town became apparent. His excellency im mediately landed at the resident's house, which was so destroyed as to be untenantable, and lost no time in pro ceeding through the streets - to view the extent of the damage, and to give orders to the police to prevent persons passing the houses which were in danger of falling. Sir Howard immediately placed at the disposal of the municipal council a sum of ten thousand dollars, to afford relief where most needed, and dispatched the lonian, steamer, to Corfu for workmen to assist in repairing the houses. The anxiety shown by Sir Howard to give aid in these distressing circum stances proves his devotion to the welfare of the lonians. The fortress has suffered very much, and the quarters of the troops must be nearly rebuilt. Fortunately the weather was fine, and the earthquake took place in the day-time, otherwise the loss of life would have been great; as it is, ten persons have fallen victims to this visitation. The damage is calcu lated at a million dollars, (.£200,000. We have bad frequent shocks since, Indeed, daily shocks, but none of any great violence. The late Bishop of Meath died immensely rich.

The greatest excitement prevailed in Buckingham Palace shortly after 12 o'clock last night, in consequence of a stranger being discovered under the sofa in her Majesty's diessing-room. The police were instantly called in, and im mediately secured the daring intruder, who turned out to be the identical boy who was discovered in the Palace about two years since. His name is Edward Jones; he is 17 years of age, and the son of a poor tailor in Derby-street, Westmin ster. The police conveyed Jones to the station-house in Gardener's-lane at two o'clock this morning, when.e was given in charge of Inspector Haining, with instructions to keep the prisoner in safe custody until he received instruc tions from the Home Office. To-day, at twelve o'clock, a Privy Council was held at the Home Office to investigate the circumstances of this most extraordinary and mysterious affair. The inquiry, however, was so strictly private that the following are all the particu lars our reporter was able to collect. There were present at the Council, the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Erroll, Lord Duncannon, the Hon. Mr.. Murray, Comptroller of the Household, and the Earl of Uxbridge. Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, and Colonel Rowan, were also in attendance. Shortly after 12 o'clock instructions were sent to the police-office to bring up the prisoner. He was in a few mi nutes afterwards taken before the council, and interrogated as to his mysterious and extraordinary conduct. We under stand he was strictly questioned as to his mode of obtaining admission into the Palace, but that he prevaricated in his an swers: His father was then sent for, and he stated that lie was of opinion that his unfortunate son was not right in his mind. After a short investigation, the council directed that the police should take the prisoner to Buckingham Palace, as he promised to describe to them the mode and way by which he effected his extraordinary entrance, and which, under the circumstances, might have had a most dreadful effect on her Majesty, who, we are informed, had been in the room where the lad was discovered only a few hours before. After giving the above instruction to convey the prisoner to Buckingham Palace, the Council adjourned until half-past four o'clock (we understand) this afternoon. When the' prisoner was discovered in the Palace nearly two years since, he was prosecuted and tried at the West minster Sessions, on an indictment charging him with secre ting himsalf for the purpose of committing a felony. On that occasion he was acquitted. Since then, we hear, he has been in the employ of Mr. Kendall, chemist, in the Broadway, Westminster, and that there has been no fault found against his general character and conduct. He is very short for his age, but he has an old and surly look. His dress was of the meanest description, and he is altogether an ill-looking lad. We rejoice to state that the extraordinary circumstance which occurred last night has had no unfavourable effect on her Majesty. who (with the Princess Royal) are going on most favourably. Nothing has transpired to show that any blame was attri butable to the domestics. The affair has gproduced a great sensation in the neighbourhood of St. James's. LATEST PARTICULARS. - COMMITTAL OF THE PRISOYER The Privy Council reassembled at half-past two o'clock at the Home Office, when after a short examination the prisoner Jones was committed to the House of Correction, Coldbath Fields, for three months, and to be kept to hard labour. The Members of the Council were of opinion that the prisoner is not insane, but that he was actuated like Oxford to obtain notoriety. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN e c SONS' Circular.) The duty on foreign Wheat is now raised to 25s Bd, on Barley and Indian Corn to lOs 10d, on Beans to 5s per qr., on Flour to 15s 54-d per barrel ; remaining upon other sorts of British, and upon all colonial produce, the same as last week. In addition to the arrivals inserted in our report of the Ist instant, we have but very scanty supplies from any quar ter to notice since that date; except Irish Oatmeal, of which we have a tolerably fair quantity fresh in for to-day. Beyond a few purchases of Wheat for shipttent to Ireland, and limited sales to millers here, upon nearly, the terms last noted, the transactions in,any kind of grain, from the close of our first market this week until to-day, have been unim portant : good fresh duty-paid barrel Flour, on the contrary, met inquiry, and such realised our last currency.—Bonded Flour also attracted somewhat more attention, and, as in. vestments, a few parcels changed hands at prices fully equal to, or rather exceeding Tuesday's quotations. Our market this morning opened and continued through out extremely inanimate ; and several cargoes of foreign Wheat received coastwise in the early part of the week, hav ing been urgently pressed for sale ex ship, forced down the prices of all descriptions of this grain Id. to 2d. per 701bs. from the reduced rat - es•of Tuesday :—foreign free Flour, not witbstanding,, was irt moderate request, and very prime brands, of which few parcels were offering to-day, obtained rather higher prices ; while similar qualities under lock were held at 255. per barrel and upwards. Barley, Malt, and Pease, continuing to attract very little attention, hardly maintained previous rates.—Beans, upon a limited supply, remained steady in value. Having very few country buyers down to-day, Oats and Oatmeal were in slow demand, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the Ist to the 3d December, 1840, inclusive UNITED DESCRIPTION WISE.

ENORMOUS CABBAGE.—During the present season, an enormous cabbage has been grown in the gardens of J. W. Eaton, Esq., Leeswood Hall, near Mold, the weight of which was 371bs. THE OUT-PENSIONERS OF CHELSEA HOSPITAL. — The whole of the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital (capable of serving) have received instructions to hold themselves in rea diness to be called out upon active duty in the event of their services being required. The lords and other commissioners for managing the affairs of the hospital have just determined that all the out-pensioners shall undergo a personal inspec tion within the ensuing month, in order that their identity shall be clearly established prior to their being paid their next quarter's pension. For this purpose several gentlemen have been appointed to attend at the several excise-offices through out the kingdom, at which pl aces the pens i oners h av e been required to appear, " in an orderly and soldierlike manner ;" and in the event of any pensioner neglecting to present him self for inspection and examination, his name will be erased from the hospital books, and he will be deprived of his pen sion until he has satisfactorily accounted for his non-attend ance, and clearly established his identity as the individual actually admitted on the pension -list. There is a provision made for those who are prevented from attending by sickness or old age. 'blppiiig Earelligtnre.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 3. • The .speculative enquiry after Butter continues,—but we must say that operators do not liberally comply with the advanced rates required by holders.—the consequence is, that only a limited business has been transacted since our last. We do not notice any alteration whatever in any other branch of the trade. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, DECEMBER 2 Scotch : A fair demand was felt for most classes of Scotch this week, and the rates previously obtained were steadily supported. A good spring inquiry from the United States would materially add to the firmness of the trade. Imports this week 132 bags ; pre viously this year 12,782 bags; (total 12,564 bags. Foreign : Our foreign wool market was somewhat brisker this week, and a tole rable number of transactions took place at the rates of Saturday, the 21st ult. Middling blanket wools were in good request. Im ports this week 505 bags; previously this year 23,07 y bags; total 53,581 bags. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DECEMBER 2 There was a much better show of stock to-day than for the last two or three weeks, especially of beasts; the quality, however, was much the same. There was a good inquiry for best beef, and such found purchasers at a shade, and but a shade, under last week's rates. Prime weather mutton maintained its value, but the best ewes and inferior the turn in favour of the buyer. Some quantity of beasts were left unsold, but few or no sheep, Best beef, 6d to 64d, inferior, 4id to 4id. Prime mutton, bid to ;d; and ewes and inferior, 42d to 63d per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 1. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) During the past week the imports of all kinds of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal have been only to a moderate extent, and the demand has been very limited here anti in our country markets for every article in the Corn trade, at about our last quotations, excepting for Oats and Oatmeal, which have again obtained a small advance —about Id per 45 lbs on the former, and about 6d per 240 lbs on the latter. There is no change in the duties on Grain from foreign ports since Friday last; Flour in bond continues to find an export de mand at 54s to 245 6d per barrel—this article, free and in bond, of superfine sweet quality, is becoming scarce, and in the hands of a few holders, who abstain from offering it for present sale, feeling confident of some increase in prices ere long ; several parcels of Flour, supposed to have been perfectly sweet, have been found sour, and thus this description is increased. A cargo of heavy Dutch Brew Oats, recently arriced, found ready sale in bond for export at about 3s 4d per 45 lbs. The supplies to this day's market have been greatly increased by arrivals yesterday coastways from the south-east counties, par ticularly of twelve or fourteen large cargoes of Wheat from Lon don, chiefly of foreign growth, which with the dulness and decline in Mark-lane yesterday, caused a very moderate demand this day here for Wheat, though at a decline of about ad per 70 lbs. Malt must be quoted 2s to 3s per quarter, and Malting Barley is to 25 per qr. lower ; Oats and Oatmeal barely supported tli advance above noted ; Foreign Flour was fully as dear; so little English Flour has recently been on the market, that by an error of the press, the prices have retained at quotations much too high, and are now rectified, tholigh no decline has recently occurred. In other articles we can note no alteration. WHEAT, per 701bs s. d. s. d. , INDIAN Coax, 3f) , 48011.. English Scotch 8 4 810 White 34 0 39 0 Irish 6 8 8 9 BEANS, per quarter. Bonded BARLEY, per qr.
