Extract from a letter received from an officer of
his Majesty's ship Rose, dated Halifax, Jan. 11,
1830 :—" The ship Halifax, for Liverpool, sails to-
morrow. By her our mach esteemed late Captain,
Eaton Travers (by his promotion), and Mr. Reed,
our late Surgeon (invalided), go home. We part
from Capt. Travers with sincere regret, as he is a
good officer, as well as a kind-hearted gentleman.—
Commander Dewar has taken the command. Mr.
Brown, mate of the Hussar, is appointed Acting
Lieutenant of this ship, vice Philips, invalided; and
Mr. Morrison, Supernumerary Surgeon, vice Reid.
An accident happened with us yesterday, which
would have terminated in the loss of lives, but for
the prompt humanity and intrepidity of our worthy
purser (Mr. George Starr). Having a brow along-
side (as ships always must have that cannot be made
perfectly fast), the sentinel came on the inner end
of it, to speak to the corporal, when, at the same
instant, it fell, and threw both the men overboard.
Like a well-trained soldier, the sentinel went down
(as he says), with his musket in his arm, and came
up with it, in the same position !—went down again,
and under the brow, by which time Mr. Starr, hear-
ing of the accident, jumped overboard, and was thus
providentially the meatis,of saving both their lives.
The Hussar (Vice-Admiral Sir C. Ogle), and Rose,
are wintering here; the Manly, at Newfoundland;
the other ships of the squadron at Bermuda. But
so extraordinarily mild has the season yet been, that
we can hardly consider ourselves at wintering quar-
ters ; few flakes of snow only have fallen in Nova
Scotia. We are, however, experiencing all the hos-
pitalities of the season, from the invitations of the
kind and liberal-hearted principal inhabitants of this
place. The Admiral, and Officers of the 34th Re-
giment have given Balls on the festive occasion.
It is understood that Captain Farquhar will be
appointed, with a blue pendant, to proceed to
Halifax.
The Lady Fanshawe, convict-ship, will be at
Spithead in a few days, to embark 180 convicts,
for Sydney.
An intimation has been given to a public office
here, that it is the immediate determination of Go-
vernment to make a reduction of ten per cent, on
all civil salaries of 2001. and upwards, and of five
per cent. on all salaries of a less amount.—Hanip-
shire Telegraph.

EXTENSION OF TFIE TELEGRAPIL-It was
agreed at a meeting in the Underwriters' Committee-room,
on Wednesday last, to extend the Telegraph to Tuscar and
Cape Clear.—Liverpool Journal.

THE BLESSED STATE OF MATRIMONY.--.,
Whatever scoffers may assert about the preponderance of
the bitters over the sweets in married life, a forcible in-
stance that some have the good luck to find it a state of
bl'ss, occurred on Friday last, in the parish of Walcot. A
purishioner, whose wife was buried at half-past tiaras in
the afternoon of that day, sent in, by four o'clock, a notics
for the publication, on the following Sunday, of banns be-
tween himself and another helpmate whom he had selected
instantly to replace the dear partner of his joys whom be
had just consigned to bet parent earthowl3cith 219rtdd.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-Feb. IV.
We have a considerable arrival of grain for this day'a
market. In Wheat the trade continues very firm, and
though the millers are reluctant buyers, yet last week's
rates are fully maintained for best qualities ; but the quan-
tity offering for second and inferior descriptions bring
large, such met dull sales at rather lower prices. Barley r
is in very limited demand ; there is no material alteration
in heavy sorts, but any other description is scarcely sale-
able. Oats and Shelling are not so free sale, but no lower.
