I EADING SAUCE, for Fish, Game, Gravies,
Lio Hashes, Stakes, &c.—JOHN and CHARLES COCKS, the
Sole Proprietors and Manufacturers of the celebrated READING
SAUCE, beg to CAngtow the Public arainat the daily frauds prac-
tised by many persons, who are olering their spurious imitations as
the genuine Reading Sauce. This sauce is patronised and recom-
mended by most families In the kingdom, and for general use it
stands unrivalled. It is sold by all respectable Fish Sauce Venders.
lie particular in asking for "Cocks' Railing Sauce," which is pre-
pared ONLY by John and Charles Cocks, at their Manufactory, Duke -

"J. and C. COCKS, Reading," on the seal and label of each bottle :
without this none are genuine.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very.superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The following general order has been issued to the
Crimean army :
" The Commander of the Forces has been much sur-
prised at the numerous applications for leave of absence
which have lately reached him from officers of all ranks
in the army.

"He has to remind them that they are still in the
presence of, a powerful enemy ; moreover, that they
have duties to perform in camp not less important than
those in the field ; and that the insttuction, discipline,
and well-being of the troops are subjects which require
the earnest attention of all good soldiers."

MALTA, Nov. 7.—The English steam•transport Jackal]
arrived on the 29th of October, from London, with Go-
vernment stores, and left for Valaklava, on the 31st.
The Imperatrice, steam-transport, with hospital stores,
arrived from London on the 30th, and left on the fol-
lowing day for Balaklava.
The Levant, steam.transport, arrived from Lowestoft
on the 30th of October, with railway plant, and left for
Balaklava on the Ist of November.
The Amity, steam-transport, arrived on the let of No-
vember, from Woolwich, with stores, and left for Bala-
klava on the 2d.

The Azoff, steam-transport, Capt. Robert Thornhill,
arrived from London on the 2d of November, with huts,
last from Tunis, having pukintq- that port owing to her
having, ca-the 27th of Odtobei,`during a heavy gale of
wind from the southward and eastward, at 5 a.m., when
about 27 miles to the eastward of the Skerki reeks,
struck thrice heavily against what was then conjectured
to be, and now seems beyond a doubt to have been, a
wreck, occasioning her damage in the compartment be-
t ween the forecastle and the foremost one, when, in order
to lighten the vessel by the head, in consequence of her
great immersion from the water made in the damaged
part, some of the stores were cast overboard. At the
moment of the disaster much confusion was caused by a
rush to lower the boats, notwithstanding the inutility of
lowering them in such a sea, by aenurnher of the Army
Working Corps, of which, besides their officers, Messrs.
Brown, Burn, Morris, Sherwood, and Warren, and Dr.
Volpy, she had as many as 318 men on beard ; far too
great a number for a vessel of this class. On their arri-
val at Tunis thiee men came off in a body, and made
known their determination not to proceed further on the
voyage in the Azoff, under the pretext that she was not
seaworthy, and 163 of them persisted in this determina-
tion, notwithstanding the assurances of their own offi-
cers, those of the ship, and the consul. The commander
had no other remedy than to come to an arrangement
with the Maltese schooner Redschid to receive them on
board for conveyance to Malta, where, under charge of
Mr. Superintendent Brown and two other officers, this
unruly set arrived 24 hours after the Azoff. The offi-
cers speak in the highest terms of Captain Thornhill's
coolness, judgment, skill, and discretion under the try-
ing circumstances of the disaster and subsequent de-
meanour of these turbulent characters, and we under-
stand he has officially made application to have the
matter investigated by the Port Admiral, for the satis-
faction of the parties concerned and Government, in
whose service the vessel is engaged.

The following is the captain official report to the
secretary of Admiral Stopford :
" Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the in-
formation of Admiral Stopford, that the steamship Azoff,
under my command, struck on a wreck, or an unknown
shoal, at 5 a.m. on the 27th of October, during a fresh
gale from E.S.E. to S.E., with a high sea running. The
engine was never stopped, and after striking thrice,
without hanging for more than a minute, passed over
the wreck or reef. The pumps were immediately sounded,
but no water was found in the ship, except in the second
compartment from the bow, which was full of water. Not
knowing the extent of the damage, I deemed it advisable
to shape a course from the Bay of Tunis, where we an-
chored at 11 p.m, on the 27th of October. By good ob-
servations on Friday, 0ct.26, the ship's position at noou
on-that day was lat. 38.10 N., and long., by chronome-
ter, 8.48 E., which was further confirmed by Galita
bearing by compass S.W. by W., distant about 12 leag.
at 2 p.m. Our run front noon on the 26th to the time
we struck (viz., 5 a.m, on the 27th) was SE. > S. 53
miles, and S.E. 28 miles, which would place us in lat.
37.30 N., and long. 10.16 E.
"I beg to aid that, from observations taken on time
succe&-ive day s in the Bay of Tunis, our chronometer was
found to be within a quarter of a mile of the truth.—l
have the honour to be your most obedient servant,

"B. THORNIiILL.

cate of the Fleet, assembled yesterday morning on board
the flag-ship Victory, in Portsmouth-harbour, to try
John West, locomotive engine driver, temporarily em-
ployed on board her Majesty's screw block-ship Hawke,
60, Capt. Orunianney, for having gone on shore without
leave on the 23d October last, from the ship, in the fit-
ting basin in Portsmouth-harbour, and not returning to
the ship until the evening of the 27th, which breach of the
regulations of the fleet and the ship was further aggra-
vated by his leave having been previously stopped by
Capt. Ommanney, who prosecuted on this occasion for
the Admiralty. The charge was substantiated against
the prisoner, who, in defence, admitted his cul-
pability. The Court adjudged him to be only severely
reprimanded, owing to the short time of his serving in
the fleet (eight months), and to be mulcted in six weeks'
wages. The same Court then proceeded to try George
Stevens, a private in the Royal Marine corps, belonging
to her Majesty's ship Hawke, but serving on board her
gunboat tender the Biter, charged with deserting his post
on deck when on sentry, going down into the cabin of
the Lieutenant (Warren H. Henderson) in command,
and breaking open the locker and stealing therefrom two
bottles " of spirits of wine," with which he got drunk.
He was also charged with breaking and destroying some
articles in the said lieutenant's cabin, and going to sleep
on the said lieutenant's bed. The prisoner was further
charged with stealing sundry effects, the property of the
gunner of the Biter, and with intent to desert from the
said vessel. The first charge was declared fully proved,
as was the second with the exception of the intention to
desert, and the prisoner was sentenced to receive 50
lashes on board such one of her Majesty's ships as the
Lords of the Admiralty may direct, and to forfeit allpay
and allowances due to him.
