BOROUGH MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Messrs. l'attenden and Smith report that there is a good
demand, both for speculation and consumption, for all Hope
possessang a fair share of colour and quality. Mid. and
East Kents., 31. 15s. to 61. 10s. ; Weald Kents, 31. 101. to
41. 10s. ; Sussex, 31. 101. to 41. 45.; old Hops, 11. to U. 10a.

SMITHFIELD MARK ET.—THIS DAY.
There is a great falling off in the supply of Beasts
as regards numbers, but the quality is still very
good. The trade is much more cheerful than
on Monday last, and 3s. 6d. is pretty generally made
of choice sleaeriptioas. The number of Sheep is
smaller, and the demand has considerably increased,
consequently an advance of about 21. per 81bs.
is obtained on most things. The rise is, however,
more perceptible on big than on small Sheep, the former
being very low on Monday last. Lambe and Calves aro
freely disposed of at rather more money. From Germany
and Holland there are 184 Beasts, 1,360 Sheep, 178 Calves,
and 47 Pigs; Scotland, 390 Beasts ; and 2,000 from Norfolk
and Suffolk.

THE ROYAL YACHT VICTORIA AND
ALBERT.

It i 4 confidently reported at Portsmouth that it is
in contemplation to make some important alterations in
regard to the maintenance of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
This squadron consists of the Victoria and Albert, paddle
steamer, of 130-Itonie power; the Fairy, screw tender, of
Itf-horse power; and the Elfin, despatch vessel, of 40.
The two latter perform a considerable amount of work,
being inconstant requisition on the occasions of her Ma-
jesty's visits to the Isle of Wight; but the royal yacht
hand( has few opportunities of administering to her Ma-
4e,ty's comfort or plea/are. During last year her terrier*
in this respect were confined to the conveyance
of her Majesty to Ostend, on a visit of a few
days to the King and Queen of the Belgians,
and there does not appear to he a probability of a
more extended use of her this summer. For the perform-
ance of these two or three days work in the p-ar a large
stall of naval and engineering offices., 2110 a crew of up-
ward.. of lOn men are kept on full pay. It is now thought
that the entire detotaim of so large a body of officers and
nun might Is dispensed with, as there would, whenever her
Majesty should wish fur the use of the Victoria and Albert
for a marine excursion, always he officers and a crew avail-
able front the stationary ships at the port. By this, or
some other similarly economical arrangement, a sum
quite equal to that the Admiralty now ask to e
out their new scheme of retirement for naval officers would
b• saved, and her Majesty's convenience be as much at-
tended to as at present. As a proof of the little need there
is for such a number of officers and men to this vessel, we
may mention that from the middle of January until Mon-
day last, the Victoria and Albert was in dock, undergoing
re,mbellishinent and a thorough repainting and regilding
by the artisans of the dockyard. She is now up at moor-
ings among the ships in ordinary at Portsmouth, where
sbe remain+ during the year, unless her Majesty should re-
quire her fur a trip to Scotland or elsewhere—the entire
sertke between Portsmouth and Osborne, during the resi-
dence of the court at the latter place, being exclusively per-
form"! by the Fairy and Elfin, the royal yacht being ugly
required for sea voyages of some length.

ALGERIA.

A supplement to the 3foii ;few Allerien of the
I.lth sates CI: it a conflict bad talt.t place between the Kahyle
tribes, which had been excited to insurrection by the pre-
tended Cheri( IS trirhela, who had dared to advance as far
as the plains of Bougie, end the Freuch troop•. Bon Bar-
gliela advanced on Bought. at the head of a numerous troop
of horse and foot. Oa the 9th, Colonel de Weugy, witit
all the disputable force of his garrison, shout ¶ll in num-
ber, advanced n+ for as the Oiled Seghir, three Lem march
from Dougia. in order to cover the retreat of the chiefs who
had remained faithful to the French, and who were re-
tiring on the town with their famiaes and their theks.
In the mousing of the 10th they had :dl entered the
town. On t h.. morning of the Ilth, the loo•tilc
hands were observed apprnnchi•t The garrison was soon
uudir arms, and outside the walls arranged in the most ad-
vantageous manner. Colonel de Weugy immediately ad-
vanced to the attack, and a charge of :cis cavalry put the
Kabyle horsemen to the rout, filly of whom were left on
the field. In the meantim, the artillery kept up a sharp
fire on the g.oups of infantry, and the French infantry 101-1
1 vaneing completed their defeat. Several hundreds art the
K aby le infantry were killed or wounded. The hiss of the
French was very trifling. After this defeat lino Bergitela
r. tired towardi the head of the valley. His adherents are
said to he much disconcerted at the bail curl:Chi of a mut
who hid promised them, in the OAHU' of Ileuvcu, that they
should told/tin a complete victory. The militia of Boughs
were under arms during the combat, and gave proofs
great it.al in guarding the posts, and in escortinj the am-
, munition to the field of battle.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

We have a few more Beasts than on Monday last, but
the demand has equally increased, and we arc enabled to
retain the quotations of that day. The number of Bbecp
and Lambs is much larger, and the trade cannot be
stated as good on the average as on Monday, but rather
better than on Friday last. It in difficult, however, to
effect a clearance. We have a short supply of good Calves
they arc sold rather dearer. From Germany and Holland
there are 13.3 Beasts, 1,340 Sheep, 114 Calves, and 18 Pig,
Scotland, 300 Beasts; and 2,400 from Norfolk and Suffolk.;

INSPECTION OF MILITARY SClloo44.—The Rev. G.
R. °lent, Chaplain-General to the Forces, has commenced
his annual tour of inspection of regimental and garrison
Mhools.
TILE TRIM LINEN TRADE.--WC are happy in
being able to announce a slightly improved demand in our
yarn market., wine of our spinners having received good
orders for shipment to Germany. As the stock in tho
hands of manufacturers is becoming light, and as the cloth
markets arc beginning to assume a somewhat livelier ap-
pearance, with increased inquiry, the trade, there is reason
to believe, will soon become more active and remunerative.
Foreign accounts continue to exporters most unfavourable.
In the United States business is very much depressed ; lawn
handkerchiefs are said to have been sold at New York at
prices which did not do more than cover duty and charges,
and 4.4 bleached lineus were disposed of at ruinous rates.
The only fabrics which have sold well this season are 8-4
diapers and damasks. We stated in our last notice, that
several American agents had been over here looking con-
signments. These gentlemen, we understand, have not ob-
tained any, an impression existing that late auctions in the
States were not boon {We, and mom than one of our Mr-
&auto being dispose, to have some litigation with regard to
account sales which have been returned to them.-Ig,

ford, Woreester, and Wolverhampton, which I. to be sub-
mitted to the propristore of heti companise to-morrow, show,
that the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company

ford, and 'Otani= with the London and North-Western
Railway, near Wolverhampton, in a substantial manner,
with a doable line of broad gauge railway, and additional
rails as specified by set of parliament ; and also to lease it

WEST IN DIES.

The Niagara brings later dates, received in New
York by the British mail-steamer Merlin, from St.
Thomas and Bermuda; the former to the 21st, and
the latter to the 26th ult. The Bermr«lian says:
We are happy to be able to record that the severe drought
which has prevailed throughout these islands for the lost
three months, was relieved on Saturday night last by the
fall of a heavy shower of rain ; and, since then, more co-
pious showers have visited the whole country, diffusing a
refreshing coolness through the atmosphere and invigo-
rating the parched and drooping vegetation.
Considering the people of these islands are just fairly em-
barked in agriculture, after years of an apathetic course
with reference to that noble pursuit, we may with pride
congratulate the country on the results of the crops of the
present year. The following statement exhibits a compre-

CANADA.

The Attorney-General has announced, in the Ca-
nadian parliament, that the French party intend to
oppose the secularisation of the Clergy Reserve.
This announcement, it is supposed, will lead to an
agitation for dissolving the union of the provinces.
A motion has been made in the Legislative Assem-
bly, by Mr. Mackenzie, for the abolition of the Court
of Chancery, with a view of investing equity juris-
diction in the law courts. The motion was resisted
by the ministry, but the court was feebly defended by
its advocates, who could allege nothing in its behalf
except that it had nut yet had a fair trial under its
present constitution. The members of the bar wero
unanimously opposed to the court on the ground of its
enormous expenses and ruinous delay. The motion
was finally lost by a vote of 31 to 30. Great com-
plaints is made that the question was decided by the
votes of Lower Canada members, while the court is
confined to Upper Canada. The bill introduced into
the Assembly by Mr. Ross, for vacating the seats of
members who have been guilty of treason, has been
modified by the mover. It now has only a pro-
spective reference.

Our correspondent writes:
TORONTO, JUNE 28.
The question of the clergy reserves was brought
before the Legislative Assembly on Monday last, on the mo-
tion of the lion. Mr. Price, Commissioner of Crown Lands,
for an address to the Queen, thanking her for the despatch
in answer to the address of last session upon this subject,
and praying the passing of an act to place the disposition of
these reserves under the provincial control, on the condi-
tion that the rights of incumbents shall be respected. This
address will of course pass, us the house can hardly do
otherwise after the vote of last session, without stultifica-
tion ; but it will not be until after a long debate, as the
feelings of the different parties arc very strong.

the living of Itumsey, iu Rants, which is in the gilt of the
Dean and Chapter of Winchester' and who have bestowed

penses of curates have been paid, is almost nominal. The
selection of the Rev. Mr. Carus by the Bishop of Win-

WEST INDIES.

A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, of December 31,
says : "Oat of a small population,say 40,000, we have
lost at lust 4,000. But in Port Royal the mortality
has been more &feral; out of shoat 900 of the in-
habitants of Poet 110ya1,430 at least have fallen vic-
tims to the cholera. Oa the north aide of the
island—Montego Bay and Falmouth—the scourge
is still raging in all its malignity ; and the mor-
tality in Montego Bay, amongst the children,
is greater than it has been in any other
part of the island. One esta•e in St. James,
about nine miles from the town I have named
(" Latium Estate," I think), lost all hands on
the property except the book-keeper and over-
seer, who fled in terror, leaving unioterred about
thirty corpses. The ordeal through which we hive
passed has disclosed to na scenes that the greatest
enemies of the island could not have supposed to
exist. We have witnessed a degree of immorality,
on the part of our people, that makes one shudder to
contemplate. The greatest heartless's( as has been
exhibited by hundreds. A man refused to assist in
placing the corpse of his wife within its coffin, unless
he was paid to do so, and he is only one of many who
are equally barbarous. One shudders at the thought.
The greatest misery and destitu'ion prevail, and
those who can afford it have their charitable feelings
taxed to the utmost extent."
BARBADOES.

Barbadoee papers do not contain much of interest.
The weather in the island is thus spoken of by the
Globe of the tad inst. :—" Since six o'clock on Thurs-
day evening a very large quantity of rain has fallen,
accompanied with more thunder and lightning than
is usual at this season ; and up to the hour at which
we write (one o'clock Monday afternoon) the weather
still continues wet, and with very little appearance of
an immediate change. As yet the cants have sus-
tained no injury, and may even derive considerable
benefit from the drenching they have received, should
the present humidity be followed by a few of our cus-
tomary sunshiny days."
Tae sanitary commissioners appointed by the
governor were most industriously engaged in causing
every part of the island to be properly purified ; the
" bard lahour prisoners" from the gaols were em-
ployed on the

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1851.

WRECK OF H.M. STEAMER FLAMER ON

TRH COAST OF AFRICA.

POILTSMOUTH. JAN. 20.

By the Cyclops steals frigate, Captain the Hoe.
George T. Hastiap, which arrived at Spithead last eight
from the mast of Africa, welters that the Flamer, steam-
vessel, Commander Jams A St. Leger, has Irma totally
wrecked on that cmst. This disaster took place on the 21st
of November. on some rock. about 15 miles below Mon-
rovia, to tie sowl of Sierra Leone, whilst the ship
was ia the immediate charge of the commander; the
mister acting ander his orders.

The wreck wee complete, the engines having gone through
the bottom of the angel. We have sot heard of any
casualties by the wreck. The Flamer hu only bees is
commismon since August last, when she was commiesioned
at Woolwich, taking out Use November mails to the oust.
About 40 of the crew of the Flamer have come home in
the Cyclops, who will be landed at this port ; and a court
martial will, of COUTI• , be the result.

The Cyclops brings borne the mails from the coast. Oa
the 21st of November she took a prize if Ambrize, having
630 slaves on board, 270 of whom she conveyed to Sierra
Leone, only lacing two on the some. This prize and the
disposal of the slaves were the causes which detained the
Cyclops, and not • court martial, as reported by the Birken-
head. When the Cyclops left St. Helens there was no Tema
of war there. There we. an American merchant vessel
which had been made a prize of by the Rattler, as 'Mimi'
she h►d no slaves on board, there was a large quantity of
very suspicious articles. She was nearly fall of merchandise.
The Cyclops left the commodore in the Centaur near
Ashes*, bet it was his in:en•ion to proceed to St.
Helena, to spend tits Christmas there. Capt. Buckle, of
the Cowan'', cows home in the Cyclops, invalided. The
Tortoise was at Aso/mica when the Cyclops left, and on the
day the latter vessel left Madeira, from which place she
has come home in • week exactly, the Locust, steam-
vessel, also loft for Rio. The last 275 miles to Spit-
head the Cyclops ran in the short splice of 26 hours. She
will leave Spithead either to-night or to-morrow morning
for the eastward, a circumstance which has caused great dia-
utisketion at this port, not only from the small share of
naval patronage it has lately received, bat because the
C3elope was fitted here and moat of her crew belonging to
Portsmouth, who must naturally be pet to great inconve-
nience by being taken so far from hone.

7HE SEWER ACCIDENT AT ISLINGTON.
London, England, 1851-01-21

CEPHALONIA.

We learn, via Malta, that her Majesty's steam-
packet Triton, which reached that island on the night
of the 10th January, brought accounts of a threaten-
ing of fresh disturbances at Cephalonia, given rise to
by the return to his constituents of the representative
for that island, whose motion for the annexation of
the lonian blends to Greece has recently led to the
diaeolution of the lonian parliament. Her Majesty's
steam-frigate Spiteful was immediately ordered off
from Malta to Cephalonia. She left on the evening
of the 11th, and the Scourge, war-steamer, and one of
the ships•of-the-line, under the command of Sir Wm.
Parker, are preparing to follow, to support the lord
high commissioner in any measures he may deem it
fitting to adopt.

We havejnet beard of the closing of the American
protestant chapel in Rome. It bu excited the most
intense indignation here. The catholic clergy are
allowed the most unbounded liberty here, and are
always preaching up toleration. This act shows
their perfidy. They demand everything, they yield
nothing. I should think the protestants of England
would at least "make a note" of the transaction I
allude to. Everything catholic and generous is ex-
pected of them—bat they never an expect any favours
from Rome. "It is not in her wey."

FINS ARTS.

Choice Ezasspies of Iliedistal Art-oeor
y. kniandip. Caudell
Rea eade
We are happy in here melting our first atqusint-
mace with " Mr. Philip de la Motto," under whom
immediate superintendence these able designs have
been executed. They evince a
uathe finessed
of executio
ion
akin to that of the works beg
to tts by e
grayer of HoUar, and are happily 'elected so u to
exhibit the coatinnons prr grew, or rather the diffe-
rent phase', of ornamental art during the t
middle
ages. The idea of throwing open to the public, a
the Adelphi, the concealed and hitherto unknowe
treasures of private collections, was calculated to
make one envy the possessors. It was difficult to
gaze on these precious relics of English ancestry, its
customs and manners, without coveting some re-
miniscences of these brilliant specimens of ornamenta-
tion. To furnish such seems to have been the aim
and scope of the present work, in which the
enterprising publishers have brought to bear their
usual appiiances and skilful hands. Of course in such
a work as this the more ponderous matters of ancient
furniture could not well find a fitting place ; and the
designer is necessarily compelled to limit himself to
the most tasteiul and minute specimens, in the true
rendering of which, and the difficult imitation of
their material, these engravings are chiefly noticable.
With the aid of the wood engraver, and the equally
responsible printer to whom the block is entrusted,
we may soon hope to rival the delicacy of the copper-
plate of old designers. In these beautiful specimens
the gradual decay of art during the renaissance
is more clearly visible than in the more ambi-
tious architectural efforts in which they were used.
And in the latter days of ornamental art, one becomes
palatally aware that caprice has usurped the place of
rationalism.
The present work is not open to this objection. It
contains some of the elaborate and perfect specimens
from the Queen's collection and other valuable sources;
and one cannot but be struck specially with the fact,
that the decline of the art dates from the time in
which it was made subservient to the luxuries of the
table, and abandoeed its sacred office on the altar.
As the architects of old prepared for the main
building by outworks of corresponding style and orna-
mentation, so did the missal writers adapt their bind-
leg to the matter of their sumptuous volumes. The
cover of the present work is from a Venetian binding
exhibited at the Society of Arts. The explanatory
text of the original catalogue is adhered to, and no
other is needed.

GERMANY.

VIENNA, Styr It.
Archduke Albrecht has been appointed civil and
military governor of unfortunate Ilungary—an ap-
pointment of small promise for the inhabitants of
that groaning kingdom. The character of the new
governor is a guarantee that the iron rule under
which Ilungary suffers will be redoubled rather than
relaxed. Archduke Albrecht is a revengeful, arro-
gant, tyrannical man ; whose disposition has caused
him much unpleasantness, when commander-in•chief
in Lower Austria. Ile it was who commanded the
troops from whose muskets the first shots were fired
upon the people in the month of March, 1848. Sub-
sequently he was sent into Italy to avoid the conse-
quences of this act : he remained there until the be-
ginning of last year, when the army in Bohemia was
placed under his command.. The numerous execu-
tions which have taken place in Prague between the
end of 1849 and now arc attributed to his unmerciful
disposition by the public. The Ilungarians will not
receive mercy nor gentleness at his hands.
Telegraphic despatches announce the arrival of the
Emperor at Verona.
To-day is the last day for which is allowed the

intend to take. All reports respecting the largo
amounts which are said to have been subscribed arc
false. Up to last night, or rather this morning, the
sum of 11 millions had been subscribed within the
empire, while as nothing is known of the amounts
taken in the largo money markets of Europe, they
are supposed to bo small, or the government would
speedily have published the fact. The bankers of
London and Paris are expected to contribute little or
nothings and from calculations which hare been
made on accurate data, it appears that the whole
amount subscribed in Frankfort and Amsterdam, to-

-(.7AETERE OF A MONSTER SEAL AT ABERDEEN.

Several of the fisheries along the coast have of late been
much annoyed by the ravages of voracious seals, that appear
to make a practice of regularly, inspecting the nets and de-
vouring their contents. With the view of putting a stop to
the ravages of these intruders, Messrs. Gray, liutchcson, I
and Co. hail a net constructed for the capture of seals at
their fishery at Woodston, and the result has been that
they have caught a seal of the following enormous propor-
tions : length, 8 feet ; girth, 5} feet ; weight, 36 stone.—

NYMBEB OF PERSONB EMPLOYED ON RAIL
WAYS.—Yesterday a return to parliament, obtained by Mr.
Labouchere, was printed, showing the number of persons
i and their description on railways in the United King-
dom. The total number on the 29th June last was
149,784, of which 114,013 were employed in England and
Wales, 27,277 in Scotland, and 18,494 in Ireland. The
j length of lines open in the United Kingdom on the 29th
June was 5,117 miles and lot chains, of which 4,273 and
2181 chains were in England and Wales, 763 and lot chains
in tland, and 410 and 49 chains in Ireland. There are
1,401 miles in the course of construction iu the United
Kingdom. The length of line neither open nor in the
Icourse of construction, 5,132 miles and 58f chains. The
total length of line authorised was 12,083 miles and 70 chains.
The diminution in the length of railway authorised in 18i0,
as compared with 1849, arises chiefly from powers formerly
granted for the construction of lines having been repealed
or having lapsed by effittxtion of time. There were 97,081
labourers employed on the railways in the United Kingdom.
