VARIATION OF THE COMPASS.

TILE following letters from the Board of Trade and Trinity-
house have been received by the Secretary of the Liverpool
Compass Committee, in reply to one from the Committee to
each of the above boards, enclosing copy of a letter addressed
by him to Mr. Court, Secretary of the Liverpool Underwriters
Association, which we published last week respecting the
variation of the compass in the Irish Channel :

" Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,
" Marine Department, 16th N0v.,1855.
" SIR,—I am directed by the Lords of the ommittee of
Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your
I letter of the Bth inst., enclosing copy of a communication
addressed, by the Liverpool Compass Committee, to the Un-
derwriters of that port, on the subject of the variation of the
compass in the St. George's Channel and Irish Sea; and I am
to resquest that you will acquaint the Compass Committee
that my Lords entirely concur in their suggestion, and that
measures will be taken for giving further publicity to this
information, so important to mariners.—l am, sir, your obe-

THE SEA OF AZOFF.

The following telegraphic dispatch from Sir E. Lyons, dated
Nov. 18th, has been received at the Admiralty :
" VARNA, 7, 15, P.M.—Capt. Sherrard Osborne reports that
on the sth and Bth instant a flotilla, under his orders, in the
Sea of Azoff, destroyed enormous quantities Of grain and
forage, of this year's harvest, which was compactly packed in
six tiers, extending two miles along the coast, near Gueisk-
liman, ready to be conveyed partly to the Crimean army, after
the formation of the ice iu the Sea of Azoff, and partly to the
army of the Caucasus, and which the enemy thought secure
from any naval attack. By the skilfulness of the arrange-
ments and the manner in which they were executed by Capt
Osborne, in which he was ably seconded by Conimander John
P. Kennedy, the enterprise was effected in the most brilliant
manner, by landing on three points, under cover of the gun.
boats of the Allies, in the face of not less than 4,000 cavalry
and infantry. Our loss amounted to only six Wounded."

Letters from the camp state that it had been decided at a
Council of War, that the Allies should abandon all further
operations against the enemy for the present winter.

The weather was very fine, and the health of the men
excellent. The cavalry were embarking for their winter
quarters. Sir Cohn Campbell's departure caused much
comment.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

Mari CHESTER.—In this market there has been no allevia-
tion of the dullness and inaction that has prevailed during
the previous ten days. The depression and utter absence of
anything like inquiry at the beginning of the week was most
marked, and although extremely low prices were named in
some instances, the offers of buyers were at even lower quota-
tions; and, if the sales of some sorts of yarn since Tuesday
have been rather larger, they have been brought about by the
acceptance of still lower rates than would have been pre-
viously acztepted. Prices have been exceedingly irregular,
perhaps never more so. Each producer acts according to the
position he may be in as regards the cost to him of the raw
material, which enables one spinner to sell to a profit, whilst
the same prices would entail a loss upon his less-fortunately
circumstanced neighbour. At the same time, the latter is but
little disposed to allow his production from dear cotton to go
into stock, Cloth is lower in price, and very dull of sale.
Stocks are rapidly accumulating, as prices are still much higher
here than in the markets of the Continent or the East.—
Manchester Courier.
ROCHDALE.—The demand for pieces continues quite as
good as it has been for some weeks past. The manufacturers
ask rather higher prices to meet the late rise in the raw
material. Wool continues firm, and middling and low qualities
scarce.

HIIDDERSPIELD.—The market hns been rather quieter than
last week, still there has been more business done in both the
Cloth-hall and the warehouses than on the average of market
days lately. The wool trade has Leen moderately busy euring
the day.

tions formed of her sailing qualities. She made the run from
the Mersey to Cape Northumberland, within a day's sail of Hob-
son's Bay, in the remarkably short space of 67 days, under rather
unfavourable circumstances ; she attained, however, the high
speed of 420 nautical miles in one day. The entire voyage was
made in 6 months and 14 days, including detention of 45 days
abroad. All her passengers were landed in perfect health ; and
a testimonial was presented to Captain Robertson for his
urbanity and attention during the passage.
The SHALIMAR will be refitted, and whatever experience has
suggested as desirable to promote the comfort of the Emigrants
in the voyage will be introduced. The ventilation in this ship is
essentially perfect, an element in the fitting-up of a passenger-
ship which cannot be ton highly appreciated.

PRoDucE.—The Sugar market has been dull, but
as sales have not been pressed, there is little difference
to note in prices. Coffee without change. In Tea
little doing, and prices rather lower. Rice in good
supply, at declining. prices. Saltpetre rising. Guano
dull. Palm Oil in good demand at £37 15s. to
£3B 10s. per ton. Tallow in good request at 535. for

the sales are limited to 1,800 mats Manilla, at 345. 9d.

and only 30 puns. Jamaica Rum reported, without
change in prices. 140 bags Para Cocoa realised
378. 3d. per cwt. The Tea market is not active, but a
steady business continues to be done in good medium
Congon, at former prices. No transactions have taken
place in Rice or Saltpetre. 200 bags Sago Flour
have changed hands at 225. 6d. ; 180 tons Campeaclay

indirect ; and 500 tons Calcutta Linseed, to arrive, at
665. per quarter, c. 1. and i.

WooL.—Tran.sactions of the past week are only to
a limited extent, arising not from a want of demand
but from the want of supply, stock being very near
cleared at the public sales, and imports since (from
the 15th to the 23rd inclusive, only 263 bales) being
so meagre, leaves little or no Wool in first hands to
supply present demand. Prices continue very firm,
and still tend in favour of the seller. Skin Wools in
good request, any offering meet a ready market at full
prices. Imports for the week only 240 bales, viz. :-
128 Portugal, 41 Irish, 53 Scotch, and 18 Coast-
wise, while the weekly average for the last five months,
ending Ist May, amount to above 2,000 bales, which
leaves the market considerably deficient for present
wants, and more particularly so for an increased
demand.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY

ITALIAN PASTE.—Take the weight of three eggs in butter,
sugar, and flour, mix it with your hand, put it on baking
sheets, about a teaspoonful in a place. Bake in a slow oven,
turn it over your finger to make little cups, fill them with
whipped cream or preserve.
TEA CAKE.—Take one quart of flour, four eggs, one pint of
milk, piece of butter the size of a hen's egg, the same of lard,
one teaspoonful of salt. The lard and butter to be well mixed
with the flour. Eggs to be well beaten together. Add the
milk to the eggs and then the flour by degrees, and beat to-
gether for ten minutes. Roll into thin cakes, and bake in a
quick oven.
A STUFFED LOIN OF MUTTON.—Take the skin of a loin of
mutton with the flap on, bone it neatly, make a nice veal stuff-
ing, and fill the inside of the loin with it where the bones were
removed ; roll it up tight, skewer the flap, and tie twine round
it to keep it firmly together ; put the outside skin over it till
nearly roasted, and then remove it that the mutton may brown.
Serve with a nice gravy as for hares.
Rlftrßißß JAia.—To make this for present use is simply to
cut the rhubarb into slices, and boil it gently for an hour, then
strain and press it, and add sugar to suit the palate. With-
out the straining process, it is not so good for tarts and
puddings ; it is then most palatable and conducive to health,
as its acidity is thus removed. But it is better eaten with
plain bread than with pastry, and it is thus found to be most
agreeable for children. It allays thirst, and gently subdues
habitual costiveness. When eaten, a little cream or new
milk is a good addition.
RIIUBAEB WINE.—To every gallon of water (rain water is
the best), add five pounds of ripe rhubarb cut into thin slices ;
let it stand nine days, stirring three times a day, and it is well
to cover the pan or tub with a blanket or cloth. Strain or
squeeze the macerated substance through a coarse cloth ; to
every gallon of the liquid thus produced, add four pounds of
white sugar, the juice of two lemons, and the rhind of one ;
then to. fine it, one ounce of isinglass to every nine gallons ;
and this part of the operation may be. thus performed : take
about a pint of the liquor, in whichmelt the isinglass over the
