ROYAL MARINES.—First Lieutenant R. W. Allan,
of the Chatham Division, has been granted two
months' leave of absence.
The number of candidates for the vacancy on the
full pay retired list, caused by the decease of Captain
Cater, R.M., is very large.
The royal dockyard brigade, commanded by Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Read, concluded yesterday their drills
for the present season, on which occasion they were
reviewed in the Ordnance Marsh, by Captain Charles
Hope, superintendent of the dockyard.
After mustering at the parade ground of the dock-
yard they marched to the scene of operations, where
a great number of the naval and military authorities
of the port, together with a numerous concourse of
spectators, were assembled.
The proceedings commenced by the infantry bat-
talion breaking into an open column of divisons right
in front, and marching past the reviewing officer in
slow and quick time, at the same time firing a generl
salute, the artillery battalion keeping the ground.
The manual and platoon exercise then followed,
the various evolutions of which were performed with
extraordinary precision, affording vast delight to all
present.
The Artillery battalion were then put through a
variety of manoeuvres, commencing with the brigade
breaking into an open column of divisions right in
front, and marching past Captain Hope, while firing
a general salute, &c.
At the termination of the evolutions, the Artillery
battalion drew up on the left of the staff, formed a
square with the infantry on the right, and the band
in the centre. Captain Hope then addressed Lieute-
nant-Colonel Read, Major Laws, &c., the non-com-
missioned officers, and privates, expressing himself
highly gratified with the proficiency they had attained
in the drills during the present season, stating that he
had watched most closely and with much pleasure their
precision of firing, and performance of the various
evolutions they had gone through. It was a source,
too, of much satisfaction to him to be able to acquaint
them that his opinion of their competency in these
points was confirmed by his gallant friend Lieutenant-
Colonel England, commander of the Royal Artillery
of this garrison, who had " eulogised their conduct
and had expressed himself perfectly astonished at
their soldierlike demeanour in the field, considering
how limited was their time for practice." The gun-
boat brigade had performed their duties in a manner
most satisfactory to him, and which he should not
fail to bring before the notice of the proper authori-
ties, and now that the drills were about to terminate
For the present season he dismissed them, entertaining
a high opinion of the improvement they had made.
The band then played "Rule Britannia" and the
National Anthem, which was followed by three
hearty cheers. By order of Captain Hope the brigade
was then dismissed by Lieut.-Colonel Read.

The wheat crop in Ireland is a very short one; and
within the last ten days the 'lvort of mildew and blight
generally in England has materially altered the antici-
pated yield in that country—this circumstance, in con-
nexion with the general broken weather, has caused a
speculative feeling in foreign wheat at both sides of the
channel; here a large business has been done at an ad-
vance of Is per barrel, and a corresponding advance has
been established throughout the leading English mar-
kets also. In Indian corn there is comparatively nothing
doing here; but at the other
,side a speculative trade
exists at a higher figure than our present rates, which
we quote 71. for Galata. French and other sorts 5s per
ton less. The flour trade as yet has not been much in-
fluenced by the advance in wheat, and our quotations are
unaltered. The reports of the potatoes do not come
worse the last few days, and although it is very difficult,
from the various and contradictory reports, to arrive at
a correct conclusion, nevertheless we are inclined to be-
lieve that about one-third of the early, and fully one-
half of the late crop are gone; should the disease be ar-
rested here, we shall have at least four month's supply.

THE HARVEST.—DIBABTROI:IB RAINS.—CHELTEN,
Hsu, FRIDAY MORNING.—We have had nearly two days
continuous rain, preceded by numerous heavy thunder-
storms, which have produced the most disastrous effects upon
the crops, now ripe, and portions of which are reaped and
standing in stooks in the fields. Such has been the effect
already produced upon the standing crops of barley and
wheat, and such is the prospect of further damage, that at
the weekly market here yesterday afternoon the price of
wheat was six shillings a quarter higher than on the corres-
ponding day of last week, at which advance an extensive
business was transacted. In many places the corn has been
beaten out of the ear, and is growing a second crop, while in
others it is sprouted and mildewed, and so much " laid" as
hardly to pay for the reaping. Harvesting had become ge-
neral in the latter end of last week, but the drenching rain,
which in many places has laid the harvest fields partially
under water, has summarily put an end to all harvest opera..
tions, nor can they be resumed this week. The weather this
Yet morning looks more promising. Under any circumstances,
being determined determined not to work it. It has been intro-
with very little effect, the agricultural la-
even with a fine autumn, much of the damage done is irre-
mediable, and the yield will undoubtedly be much dimi-
nished, while the quality will be generally inferior. The
American reaping machine has been introduced into the dis-
tbdroaiuccter,debrasutb Upton-on-Severn and that neighbourhood this week,
t
but the farmers cannot get men or women to bind up the
sheaves when cut. At Hanley Castle, near Upton, one of
these machines was destroyed a few nights ago, and a reward
is offered for the discovery of the offender.
DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE AT STOKE NEWINGTON.--
On Friday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of
Stoke Newington was held in the Manor-room, Mr. G. W.
Alexander in the chair, for the purpose of memorialising the
Commissioners of Sewers for the metropolitan district rela-
tive to the extremely defective drainage of that locality,
which has long been matter of public complaint. Medical
testimony of the highest character was furnished to the
meeting by about twenty practitioners, including the medi-
cal and surgical staff of the dispensary, to prove the grteatf

NORT /(.,
A AIMICAN FISFIERTES.
(From the Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette.)
The North American Fisheries question is the en-
grossing topic in maritime circles. Jonathan has begun
to bluster, and the British lion seems very much inclined
to raise his mane. Thanks to an energetic Home Go-
vernment, and an Admiral fully up to the work of pre-
serving the character and dignity of the nation be re-
presents in the disturbed waters, we do not think we
shall be bullied into concessions which this country ought
not to make, or accept negotiations unworthy of the
mother country. The origin of the quarrel we have
given elsewhere, and also the American Secretary of
State's inflammatory and bombastic speech, which
doubtlessly was and is admirably calculated to achieve
the object apparently desired by the United States Go-
vernment, viz., the " annexation" of all the fisheries of
the Britiahers bordering upon their presumed territory.
But Earl Derby ashore, and Vice-Admiral Sir George
Seymour afloat, will, we trust be found by
" Yankee Doodle" more than a mach for him
this time. We do not think tact farce of the
Oregon dispute will be enacted with a Derby-Northum-
berland Admininitvention. Right well we realty:saber

We doubt not but Sir George will exhibit the same
courage and determination in the North American waters
as he did in the South. In the meanwhile he ehould be
reinforced without a moment's delay. His squadron at
present is much too light to offer any powerful length-
ened opposition to such a force as Jonathan is getting
together as fast as he can with a hostile intent. The
squadron under the command of Sir George Seymour on
the West Indian and North American station combined,
is only (according to the statement published last
week by the United Service Gazette) the tollotsing :
Cumberland, 70 guns, 600 men (flag)—Captain G. F.
Seymour.

Which, together with the Imaum, stationary receiving

the colonial armed tenders) of 13 ships, mounting 170
guns, and manned by about 2,000 men—half of the sea-
going force being steamers; and he will shortly be re-
inforced by the Vestal, 26, aptain C. B. Hamilton, with
230 men.

Now, in the United States, we learn by the latest ad-
vices received this week, the fishery excitement is ex-
tending, and the new Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Ken-
nedy, of Baltimore, has started all their navy-yards and
arsenals into activity. A powerful force is preparing
for the north-eastern coast, and in a short time several
of their largest and most efficient steamers will be on

are so sensitive as their fisheries; and a correspondent
of the Times, writing from New York on the 21st ult.,
says—" I confess that, with a knowledge of the exas-
perated te o
f feelingthroughout the British provinces, along
provinces, and a knowledge also
of the policy which the President and his Cabinet are
determined to carry out—l confess that I entertain the
most serious apprehension of the final results. Our
Government expects a collision. Of this fact there is
no doubt."
This latter opinion seems to be the prevalent one here
as well as in New York, and will be more firmly esta-
blished by the news from New York to the 31st ult.,
which arrived by the Humboldt off Cowes on Thursday
morning last, viz., that two more American fishirg
sloops had been seized by the English cruizers. Sir
George Seymour was fitting out four vessels as men of
war at St. John's, to reinforce his squadron of thirteen
vessels, then cruizing on the ground of dispute. On
the American part the expedition fitting out for Japan
had been ordered to the scene of the dispute, and the
steam-frigate Mississippi, Commodore Perry, was then
coaling for the same destination at New York.
We have happily at hand two powerful and well-
equipped squadrons which, in the event of their services
being required, it would be well for the Government to
victual and send in the direction of the scene of action,
viz.—Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron. and Captain Ro-
binson's ; comprising together the Prince Regent, 90,
Rodney, 92, Phaeton, 50, Aretbusa, 50, Arrogant, 46,
Dauntless, 24, Bighflyer, 21, and Encounter, 14.
Let us not be caught unprepared, but enable the Bri-
tish Admiral to show fight, whether matters run to that
length or not. It is evident the Americans are prepar-
ing for such a contingency.

JOHNNY 11111600 ME. 1.

It is well known that Broome was taken at Ostend,
whither he was traced by Ir,seector Marren, of the East
Sussex constabulary, and Mr. Dodson, a local constable
at Tunbridge Wells; and it was fully expected that these
two efficcrs would have returned to England with the
fugitive ex-pugili3t ; but to the surprise of many per-
sons in Brighton, they returned without him. On Sa-
turday morning they appeared before the Brighton
beach of magistrates at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of
explaining the result of their journey in search of
Become. Mr. Dodson handed up a number of docu-
ments to Mr. Scott, the presiding magistrate, relative
to the capture and detention of Broome. When
Morton and Dodson proceeded to Ostend, where they
found Broome, dam,- carried with them a letter from
Lord Stanley, the Under-Secretary of State, recom-
mending them to the British Consul at Ostend, and
requesting him to afford them any assistance they might
require. After they had apprehended him the two offi-
cers had an interview with the Chief Commissioner of
Police at Brussels, when they charged Broome with having
absconded from England, after having been indicted for
cheating at cards, and with being a sharper. Broome
then underwent an interrogation by the Chief Com-
missioners of Police, when he admitted that he had been
accused of cheating at cards, but said that he was inno-
cent of the offence. He demanded permission to pro-
ceed to Hamburgh, on the frontiers of Prussia. The
Chief Minister of Police then informed the constables
that although the law of the country would not permit
them to give up the prisoner, his expulsion from the
Belgian territories would be effected, and that a state-
ment would be made by the officers to the effect that

INDEt'TRY OF THE HONEY BEE--On Monday
On
a beingn d asked
remonstrance
night last, a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Tlairsk
having driven a hive of bees, took the produce of the hive,
consisting of about 17Ibs. of honey, into a cottage adjoining
the bee-stand, to remain during the night. On the morning
following, the good man of the house, who had possession of
the honey, went to his daily avooation, leaving his wife and
family to enjoy their repose a little longer. When his wife
arose and went to the house, on opening the door she ob-
served a few wandering bees, carousing with no little delight
around the delicious fluid. Not long afterwards, to her be-
wilderment, she found herself beset, and the room almost
filled with the enemy, who had come in vast numbers to take
forcible possession of their lost property; and when the owner
of the bees subsequently rescued the vessel from them, be
found, to his astonishment, that they had left him only about
41bs. of the honey. The communication of the discovery by
the few bees in the morning to the mass, their boldness, and
what they have made of thet
honey, honey, are subjects of specula-
tion in the neighbourhood.
