NAVAL' (From the Standard.) We have thought that it might be acceptable to some of our readers to have an opportunity of corn iring Napoleon's unsuccessful enterprise against St. the late brilliant exploit of Admiral have therefore elsewhere copied the ge in 1799, from Sir Walter Scott's eror. It will be seen that the great age and country besiged the fortress fty-two days, with an army of 10,000 of the best and failed ; while an English fleet, g anything like the same number place after a cannonade of a few Me of tt troops of Frat of men, carried tt hours. C' iming all the superiority for Englishmen that the most inveterate patriot can demand, still this st is too violent to be accounted for by any diffe- ietween the military qualities of Europeans. We must look for an explariation to the mode and means of not look long.

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 71 sailing v 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; consequently no coast is any longer inaccessi ble to a Bri fish military descent ; we may be said to be on the confines of every 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 cal:ulate upon having the war upon and in a spot chosen at our own discre mmense advantages which the iew arm in war—steam navigation—has conferred upon us, to keep them as long as we shall be able to maintain our naval. ascendancy. its own s tion Such are the THE TAKING OF ST. JEAN D'ACRE. (From the Morning Herald.) ie fall of St. Jean d'Acre is an event of no ordi- nary mo In the first place, the feelings which that brilliant achievement is fitted to call forth, differ from the mere effervescence of national vanity. The military renown of a great nation is a portion—and no inconsiderable portion—of its wealth and power. The fame of our Nelsons and Wellingtons is, in itself, equivalent to the possession of fleets and armies. In this sense, Eng land 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 St. Jean d'Acre, has, perhaps, no parallel in the history of . naval warfare. 'Hie recent exhibition of England's prowess has been made at no unseasonable time. We, amongst others, have long marked with grief and dismay, the neglect, with which our navy has, for many years, been treated. While France and Russia have been silently calling formidable fleets into existence, the navy of England has been sustained, less by the care of go vernment, than by the historical recollections with which the English navy is identified. We make this statement in no spirit of party ; and our statement is proved to be correct, by the fact, that thirty thousand ie very best of our seamen have been for many in the ships of foreign powers. They ingland, because England has r services at so high a rate as ve been willing to do. The of such a course on the part of the English t is obvious enough—its injustice is equally s the policy of England to engage in her seamen whom the world can supply : )licy not to permit such sea- used tc 111 Y, her ffspring of the soil of England, to transfer their s for Er rvices to rival powers. It is unjust, moreover, gland to refuse such seamen higher wages than any other country can afford to pay—unjust, because England is the richest country in the world, and can, better than any other country, pay a high price for seamea of the first class. That the navy has been, for many years past, ne -•?d, is proved, moreover, by the circumstance, that ; present moment, the government is making and praiseworthy efforts to impart increased effi yto our fleet. If, however, there had been no His neglect of the true sources of England's curity, the bustle that is now apparent ;ty's dockyards would have been unne- h ands, er Male The decay, ( the imputed decay—in the naval ength of Eng nd was gradually generating in this intry a sense v. The sense of insecurity our part was ...ed by the exhibition - , on the .t of foreign( _, or a spirit disposed to be aggres e. The facilities that would attend an invasion of gland were familiarly discussed in Paris. 'They 'e no less frequently, it may be presumed, canvassed Petersburg. Our coasts were unguarded. Our )rds were exposed to attack. of insecurity Our ships were rotting in ordinary: or were employed on service of doubtful policy in remote quarters of the globe. Eng nd, in short, seemed weak ; and to seem weak is too in sucl , i , cases, to pr ove wea k . ibition of weakness was dangerous to ..,t1 the recent demonstration that the navy of ~and is still the same navy with which Nelson Achieved his deathless triumph s , is calculated to add to the solid power of this country. As the insults offered to the British flag—offered and tamely submitted to —in the Black Sea, and on the coast of Mexico, tended to bring us into collision with our most formidable op ponents, so the storming of St. Jean d'Acre must tend to inspire our enemies with a stronger desire than some of them have recently manifested, to cultivate the re lations of peace with this country. So far, we think it impossible to regard the recent achievements of our navy with other than feelings o f unmixed satisfaction. Whatever may be thought of the eastern policy o f L or d Palmerston, his lordship i s entitled, at all events, to the praise that may never be withheld from immediate success. Bad the English often, &s the ex fleet been repulsed or destroyed, at St. Jean d'Acre, the 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 SCopford 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 Cahoot 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 ; hut to the destruction of the Turkish fleet on that occasion no small portion of the perplexities that 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 " Eventu s " was no t, i n anc i ent t i mes, d en i e d 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 ; no accident. 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 boilers of another exploded. 1826-230 steamers ; one burnt ; explosion on another ; six sufferers this year. 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 were 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 bom 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, Walker 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 XlOO 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 Ali 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, he 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-radicil 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, who, 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. Engledue that the Pacha had been deceived by the French, and that he meant to have nothing further to do with them, but should look 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 whips 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."

The mail bags for Leeds were sent forward by the engine and tender, and the passengers were forwarded by ! a train which came nil shortly afterwards. —L eeds Intelligeseer. TESTIMONIAL TO ME. BIUNDLEY (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 : " Novemberlith, 1840.--TESTIMONIAL TO JOON PrRIND 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 he 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 absurb, 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, having 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 lusions of infidelity—what, I ask, is human life then without religion—religion, which alone can throw a glean . ' 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. lie 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 upon 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 whi c h I h ave 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 business 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 Gad o Wand, 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-foldeven in this world, and in the world to come life everlasting. (Loud applause.) Mr. Brindley, hi a long andeloquent 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. JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING.—The depression in the funds at Paris, ascribed to the unfavourable turn which the debates in the Chamber of Deputies appeared to be taking, reacted upon the market here to-day, and consols declined to 90 to * for money, and for account Ng to being per cent. lower than at the_close of last market day. B an k St o ck was 1581 Exchequer Bills 4s. to 6s-, to 94. India Stock 2114 to 2. premium. TUESDAY .EVENING.—The Funds have been on the im proving order to-day. Consols left off for money at 904 to , and for account at 91. Bank Stock 1584 to 94. India Stock 241 to 2. Exchequer Bills 3s to 5s premium. London and Birmingham Railways were 77 to 9, Great Western 23 to 4 premium. South Western 534 to 44 per share. North Midland Old Shares 26 to 24, the New,3 to 1, Brighton 94 to 4, Blackwall ato discount. There was scarcely any alteration in the exchanges to-day. The rates negotiated were, on Paris 25.55 to 574 ; on Ham burgh 13.74 to 8 ; on Frankfort 149 to 4 ; on Amsterdam 12.24 to 3 ; on Rotterdam 12.3 ; on Antwerp 12.2 to 4, all at three months. WEDNESDAY EVENING. — The funds remain rather heavy and a shade worse in prices. Consols, which shut to-day for making up the books preparatory to the payment,of divi dends, and for which, therefore, as no transfers can be effected, there is no money price, left off at 9O to -1 for the January opening. Bank Stock was 1581 to 91. India Stock 241-} to 2}. Exchequer Bills 2s to 4s premium. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents shut to-morrow, to make up the books for the dividends. This has been a flat day in foreign securities, with rather a tendency to decline in peninsuhr matters. Spanish Active with the Coupons were 23/ to 4. Portuguese Two-and-a Half per Cents (fraudulently pretended to be Fives) were 344 to the One-and-a-Half per Cents (falsely called Threes) 22 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents were firm at 52 to 4, the Five per Cents 99 to 4. Belgian 974 to 84. Brazilian 72 to 3. Mexican 294 to 304. Colombian 26 to 4. London and Birmingham Railways were 77 to 9. Great Western 21 to 2, the half shares 84 to 9 premium. South Western 53 to 4. per share. Gosport 34 to 44 premium. North Midland old shares 27 to 5, the new 4 to 2, South eastern and Dover 16 to 154, Eastern Counties 144 to 134, Blackwall 4 to 31, Brighton 104 to 10 discount. 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 bad 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 ?fi 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 wherever he pleaFd, except to Sptia, after termina ting his quarantine. He is now in the 80th par 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 fro m 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. since 1775. All the houses have suffered, many are prostrate, many more must be rebuilt, and great numbers of the inhabitants are without shelter. In the country the shock was felt with greater violence, and some villages are entirely 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 st eamer was t h at 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 c council mos most needed, and dispatched the lonian , st e am er , to Corfu for 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 dange r of falling. Sir Howard a im s m um ed o ia f t t e en ly thousand dollars, d th ol e la d r i s s r t o sa l a o ff f or t d re h emlieunf i ipa l where workmen to Sic Hasoswisstrdintoregvi give n i .the houses . The anxiety 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 dam a g e is calcu. lated at a million dollars, (£200,000. We have had frequent violence. shocks since, indeed, daily shocks, but none of any great The late Bishop of Meath died immensely rich. The pro perty he has left amounts to several hundred thousand pounds. —Limerick Ckroxicle.

The order in council has been signed, but the minister of finance delays bringing it f. trward till after the address be voted by the deputies.—Morning Herald. Sir Frederick Smith, and Professor Barlow, the commis sioners appointed by government to investigate the best rail way route to Scotland, have recently re-examined the lines between Lancaster and Carlisle, and are said to have reported in favour of the project which takes in Kendal. The mahogany " door," supposed to have belonged to the President steamer, has since been ascertained to be the pannel of a locker in the ladies' cabin of the City of Bristol, lost the week before last. ENORNIOUS 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. DEATH OF A FEMALE MISER.--An old woman, residing in the parish of Fetteresso, for many years a beggar in this neighbourhood, died last week ; and in an old chest in her humble domicile were found £3, rolled up in a pair of blan kets and a few webs of cloth. Some workmen having, dur ing a shower the other day, taken refuge in the tenantless hut, discovered a box on the top of the wall, upon opening which they found, in an old pocket, 17 one-pound notes. — Aberdeen Journal. BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY. — This work, at the important portion of the line which runs through the town ship of Great Bolton, is now nearly completed, and it is ex pected that an engine will travel along the line, from Bolton to Rawlinson Bridge—about a mile and a half from Chorley, during the ensuing month. The key -stone of the last arch, in this quarter, was inserted at the close of last week, at the crossing of a street called Stable-row, Horse street. The company have built ten sub near Black Horse stantial bridges in as many streets, beneath which the railway passes, besides a tunnel, in length about 150 yards, near the Moor-lane por tion of the works. The openings which the railway company have made through the crowded and narrow streets of New ton, will be of essential service to the inhabitants, by greatly facilitating a free circulation of the air throughout that fetid and impure region. We understand that the company intend to open the line in January, carrying passengers throughout from Manchester, Bolton, &c, to Preston, by railway and coaches. The entire completion of the line, to the point where it joins the North Union, at Buxton, is not expected —Bolton F ree P ress . to take place before August next. - • - • 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 places the pensioners have been required to appe a r, " in an orderly a n d 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. ROYALTY IN EUROPE.—The Augsburg Gazette remarks— " Within a century 90 reigning houses have become extinct in Europe. Among them are those of Hapsburg, Romanow, Ostfriese, Stuart, Montfort, Mansfield, Kirchberg, Este, Cibo, Sinzendorf, Cobary, and Rheinstadt. Among the 21 reigning dynasties, 18 are of German origin, including that of Savoy. The history of the throne of Holland is unique ' • in that of three sovereigns of different houses, t wo have volun tarily abdicated. In all probability after another generation, six detached lines will be re-annexed to countries under a monarchical government, and re united to the hereditary line. The present reigning houses are composed of 688 members— viz. 346 princes, and 342 princesses. The catholic are less numerous than the protestant houses, with the exception of Austria, which reckons 21 princes and 11 princesses. Among the protestant houses which have only one reigning line. Wur temburg is the most numerous, having 20 princes and 16 princesses. It was saved from extinction by the secularisation of the canon, Father Frederick, the grandfather of the pre sent king, and common ancestor of all the existing family, which took place about 80 years ago. THE IRISH CHANCELLORSHIP.—The report of the resig nation of Lord Plunket and the appointment of Sir John Campbell to the Irish Seals has been renewed. Upon a for mer occasion this report was contradicted, apparently upon authority ; but we believe, for all that, it is not entirely des titute of foundation. Sir John has, it is said—insisting upon his right as Attorney-General —put in his claim for one of the new offices about to be created. To this Lord Cottenham has given a decided negative. Under these circumstances it is said that a negotiation has been opened with Lord Plunket for his retirement from the bench, thus securing to Sir John Campbell, in any event, a pension of £lOOO. a year for his life.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE ROYAL INPANT.—The Isle of Wight has the honour of supplying the person who is to suckle the young Princess. She has beeu selected—a royal messenger was sent off ex press on Saturday to Mr. Charles Day, surgeon, of Cowes, to announce to Mrs. Jane Ratsey, wife of Mr. Retsell Ratsey, of Medina-terrace, West Cowes, that she had been appointed wet-nurse to the Queen, and to desire that she would proceed to London immediately. She arrived in town by the Southampton mail-train on Sunday morning, to undertake her high and honourable office. A person ap parently more admirably suited for the situation could not possibly have been selected. Report says that it was her Majesty's particular wish that a wet-nurse should be chosen from the vicinity of Cowes, from observing the very healthy state of the women and children during her residence in the Isle of Wight, and from the exceedingly great benefit her own health received from her visits to that very beautiful island. IMPORTANT INVENTION.--A Mr. Hall, a gentleman of great scientific ability, has ascertained that a woollen band or belt, if passed over two plain rollers, one fixed at the top of a shaft or well, and the other below the surface of the water, by turning the upper roller at the rate of 1000 feet per minute, the adhesion of the water overcomes its gravity, and a much larger quantity as in the case of the common pump is raised and discharged in a uniform and continuous stream. The inventor at once secured a patent for so valu. able and important a discove r y, and it is now in use in vari ous noblemen and gentlemen ' s estates throughout the coon. try, and may be seen in operation in the Portman market. It is likewise applied to the drainage of waste lands, mines, and coal-pits.—Standard. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.) EAST INDIES, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, &7c.

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 ;"itotal 12,864 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 53,079 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 el. Prime mutton, bid to 7d; and ewes and inferior, 4d to bid per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 1. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 5- Son.) During the past week the imports of all kinds of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal have bee:; only to a moderate extent, and the demand has been very limited here and 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 348 to 24s 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 3d per 70 lbs. Malt must be quoted 25 to 3s per quarter, and Malting Barley ato 2s per qr. lower; Oats and Oatmeal barely supported the advance a►,ove 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 remained at quotations much too high, and are now rectified, though no decline has recently occurred. In other articles we can note no alteration. WE EAT, per 701bs s. S. S. d. INDIAN CORN, V. 48011. English Scotch S 4 8 10 White Irish 6 8 8 g BEANS, per quarter Bonded BARLEY, per qr.
