ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 17. APPOINTMENTS.
Acting Assistant-Surgeon T. Wilson to Growler; Par
master W. Dewar to Hydro.
PORTSMOUTH, AUOUST 17.—The Edinburgh, .58,
screw set-going gunnery ship, Captain Hewlett, went out
of harbour to Spithead to-slay, having completed her refit,
and came to anchor in time to drew ship and salute her
Majesty as she passed through to Osborne. The Terma-
gant, 24, screw steam-frigate, and Niger, 14, screw steam-
sloop, Commander Heath, were taken into dock yesterday.
' The Harpy, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Wil-
liams, that recently made so dangerous a poesy' from the
Brasil., was paid off yesterday. The Sprightly, steam-
vessel, sailed last night with supernumeraries for Plymouth.
The Prospero, steam-vessel, Master Commander I'. ltundle,
arrived at last night from Pembroke, with supernumeraries
MoenmEr42B.—Her Majesty's ship Cumberland,
70, Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour ; and Sappho, 16, at
Halifax. Devastation, steam sloop ; and Bermuda,
schooner; in Bay of Fundy. Alarm, 26, at Antigua.
Rosamond, steam sloop, at Port Royal ; had been very
sickly, having lost 2nd engineer and eight men ; her com-
mander (Campbell) had Invalided ; her Ist lieutenant and
several junior officers were expected to follow. Lieutenant
Craufurd was appointed acting commander of her. Per-
sian, 12 was at Rattan Island. Calypso, 18, at Grey
Town. Imanna, with commodore's flag ; and Alban, ten-
der; were also at Port Royal. Busurd, steam sloop, as
also Basilisk (sow force), were expected by Admiral.

TIIE VACANT VICE-CRANCELLOSSIIIr.—The few
stragglers of the Chancery bar still lingering in London
are occupying themselves in speculations on the vacancy in
the office of a Vice-Chancellor, caused by the death of Sir
James Parker. The political right to the recipiency of this
valuable and responsible judicial patronage is, of course,
considered to belong to Mr. John Stuart, Q.C., the new
member for Bury St. Edmunds, and who is said in his
electioneering expenditure to ham barely exceeded the
legal expenses in turning out Mr. Danbury. Mr. Stuart,
however, haughtily refused the offer of the Solicitor-
° eeeee Iship on the formation of the present go.
comment, and was reported to be highly indignant
that he did not receive the Great Seal of Ireland.
The honourable and learned gentleman may not press
his claim in the present instance. Certainly his op•
position to Chancery Reform, and his notorious ultra-
Toryism would render his appointment unpopular, how-
ever he might reconcile acceptance to himself, Other
names were mentioned in the clubs yesterday. It wee
said that Mr. Walpole might not unadvisedly descend
from the Home Office and ascend the judicial seat. The
right hon. gentleman's practice at the bar, so recently and
gallantly abandoned for the uncertain tenure of political
office, was considerable and inereasing ; and hie elevation
to the bench would doubtless be comparatively agreeable
and popular out of doors, and with the bench and bar.
Lord St. Leonard's is known also to be well disposed to Mr.
Swastika, CAC, and whom he regards as the most emi-
nent equity lawyer of the day. Mr. Ramsdell Palmer
would probably have been the choice of the Peelites, but
they are hors cis comithat. It is expected that the lot will
fall on Mr. Walpole, ur, if declined by that gentleman, that
the offer must be made to Mr. John Stuart.—Evinsingpoper.

A demand for silver on Eastern account has rather
suddenly sprung up, and no difficulty is experienced
in disposing of the dollars which have for some time
been pressing on the market. It is believed, how-
ever, that the whole of the 2,500,000 dole. of the
American indemnity has not yet been realised. The
Magdalena has just come in with further supplies of
this metal. Present quotations are thus reported by
Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins—Bar gold, 775. 9d. per
oz. standard; Columbian doubloons, 745. 6d. per oz. ;
bar silver, 6s. Old. per oz. •, ditto, holding five grains
of gold, j.)a. Oad. per oz. ; dollars, 4s. 100. per oz. ;
pillar dollars, 4s. 11 jel. per oz.; fine cake silver,
6s. 4id. per oz.
Accounts front Melbourne to the 10th May, re-
ceived by the Overland Mail, mention that the
Hooghly had sailed for England with 6,643 ounces
of gold, besides which there were 60,713 ounces in
the Assay-office. Taking into account the quantities
previously shipped, we have a grand total of 728,847
ounces produced in this colony alone, and worth, at
the London rate of 41. per ounce, no less than
2,916,0001. This statement, it must be remembered,
does not include the amounts that remained in the
hands of the diggers or others, nor the large quanti-
ties of gold sent by the overland escort to Adelaide.
At this last-named town we have advice of the re-
ceipt of 311,0001. worth of the precious metal (valued
only at the local price of 71s. per ounce). These
returns are the latest yet received, and afford some
idea of the extensive character of the gold production
in the colony of Victoria.
The accounts from France, as collected and eom-
Stby the best authorities, afford no decided intel-
e as to the probable yield of the corn crops.
T expectations of an extraordinary largo harvest,
they state, will not be realised, but, on the other
hand, there is no ground for the alarming apprehen-
sions of a bad yield, expressed in some quarters. The
other foreign advises are scarcely more decisive.
Complaints are heard from some parts of Germany,
but in Belgium a satisfactory yield is generally anti-
cipated.
In Southern Russia, and the principalities of the
Danube, the harvest is stated to be abundant.

Letter. from Zante, dated the sth inst., mention
that the state of the currant crops is worse than ever,
and that tho growers were almost in despair. It was
generally thought that tho crops will not amount to
a fourth of that of last year.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoci.
The English stock market has not been so good
to-day, Consols having been sold for cash at 98'. The
I present quotation, however, is rather better again, at
99 to both for money and the 6th Septem-
ber. The transactions in this department have been
of a quiet character. The Three per Cent. Reduced
mark 991 to 1; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1021 to 103. Bank Stock, 224 to 2251. The
March Exchequer Bills are better, at 755. to 78s.
prem.
Foreign stocks are quiet, but Granada Deferred
Bonds have risen from 81 to 9, and show a strong
upward tendency. The Active Bonds of the same
state mark 211. Mexican are steady, but Buenos,
Ayrean and Spanish fiat. Austrian scrip has been
done at 41 prom. ; Buenos Ayrean at 72 ; Spanish,
Old Threes, 481 to a ; Mexican Now Threes, 23; ;
Dutch Fours, 98.
