The Exmouth, 90, screw oteaan-ship, recently commis-
sioned.at Plymouth port by Mr. Loney for Captain Pel-
ham, is ordered to be rigged with all possible despatch.
Riggers have commenced getting the gear over her mast-
heads. One hundred seamen from the Royal William
arc employed to assist in her equipment,
The Monarch, 84, was ordered yesterday from Spit-
head to Plymouth, where she is ordered to be fitted for
the flag of Rear-Admiral Brace, whose flag captain,
Henry Lyster, has been appointed to the Monarch, and
takes command this day. Captain Erskine, wbo gave
up the Monarch to Captain Lyster, will have another
ship, most likely the Hannibal, on the promotion of
Captain the lion. F. W. Grey, to flab-rank, now daily
expected. The Coast-guard men, put iuto the Monarch
to make up her complement on going to the Baltic,
are to be withdrawn from her for the service of other
ships, and their places supplied by supernumeraries
draughted frOm all the available depots.
The Cossack, 21, Captain Fanshawe, was again
docked at Plymouth on Thursday, in consequence of
her making a considerable quantity of water per hour
from the same part of the ship which caused her being
cent to this port.

The Brisk,' 14, screw, Commander Curtis, which
arrived at this port on Tusday, cn route to the Pacific,
was paid wages on Wednesday, and will leave to-morrow

Portsmouth yesterday to complete her refit.

with 200 guns. Since then, that is to say last week, the
sixth army corps has been carried by the North and
South Austrian railways from Styria to Moldavia.

Recruiting parties from various regiments are stationed
in different parts of the county of Devon, chiefly in the
centre of agricultural districts, where they have been
working with great zeal. The Plymouth division of Royal
Marines at Totnes, in the south of Devon, have enrolled a
large number of men lately, and at Exeter and other places
a large number of recruits have been enlisted.
The Alma (late the Barwon) screw steamer, sailed from
Gravesend yesterday, having embarked there officers of
the following regiments for the Crimea :—viz., Ist Royals,
7th Fusiliers, 17th Lancers, 18th, 20th, 28th, 49th, 74th,
88th, and 95th Foot.
The 16th Regiment furnished 41 volunteers for the 17th
Regiment (depot at Kilkenny), which is now serving in
the Crimea. The same regiment furnished 10 volunteers
for the 71st Highland Light Infantry, also in the Crimea.
The Cumberland, chartered iron Screw-steamer, has
been loading at Portsmouth with the wooden huts for the
Crimea. She will stow about 100, Or accommodation for
2000 men; so that we require 10 such steamers at the least
instantly, if we 'are to provide covering for our 20,000
troops around Sebastopol.

LONDONDERRY, Nov. 29.—The 15th depot, at Derry,
has been called upon to furnish 50 volunteers to the 18th
Foot, now at Chatham, under orders for the Crimea. All
recent volunteers for the Crimea will be allowed one guinea
on joining their new regiments, without deduction for
alteration of clothing, which is to be defrayed by the
public.
CORK, lieV. 30.—Yesterday 200 of the 16th (Bedford-
shire) Regiment arrived from Athlone, under command
of Captain G. Studdert, with two ensigns. The head-
quarters will arrive on Saturday or Monday, under Major
Henry Copinger. Detachments will be sent to Haulbow-
line, Camden, and Spike Island. In place of 300, which
was formerly the number of soldiers doing duty in Spike
Island convict depot, there will in future be but 40; the
constabulary and turnkeys are to be increased, to assist
the military in taking charge of the convicts. A draft of
the 89th, numbering 238 men, will arrive to-day from
Waterford. The 2d Somerset Militia has furnished 30
volunteers for the 17th Lancers. A draft of the 17th,
numbering 236 meu, is to arrive on Saturday from Kil-
kenny.—Cork Constitution.
The Royal mail steam-ship Magdalena, which arrived
at Southampton yesterday from the West Indies, is to be
immediately prepared for the transport service in the
Black Sea, and will, it is expected, relieve the Orinoco
which steamer requires to come home for repairs. It i
expected she will bo ready for sea about Wednesday next
and will make one of the most efficient troop-ships in the
world. The private screw steamers Norman, Alster, Cos-
mopolitan, Hutton, Metropolitan, and Sir John Easthopo,
hare been chartered by the Government to convoy from
Southampton to the Crimea wooden houses for 4,000 men,
which aro being manufactured at the steam sawmills of
Messrs Driver and Co. They alio constructed upon the

MARRIAGE OF PRINCE FREDERICK OF

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.—Princess Maria Anna of Dessau,
the young bride of Prinoe Frederick Charles, made her
public entry in grand state this forenoon into Berlin,
amidst the firing of cannon and the admiration of the
multitudes collected in the streets, who were universally
struck with her personal charms.
The nuptial ceremony took place tkil evening at the
palace, with all the pomp, glitter, and splendour of
modern refinement, mingled with the customs and tra-
ditions of more remote periods. The court of Berlin
cannot be surpassed by any other in Europe in getting
up and carrying out of all such solemnities ; but on this
occasion Count Keller, marshal of the household, and
Baron Stillfried, grand master of the ceremonies, en-
trusted with executing the King's instructions, even sur-
passed themselves. A more gorgeous spectacle could
not be seen. The Russian Legation (of both sexes)
mustered very strong, and were the special objects of
royal attention. The British Legation were few in num-
ber ; nor was a single red coat there to damp, by the
sight of their victorious uniforms, the pleasures of the
festival.

" CIVIL ENGINEERS AND NAVVIES FOR THE CRIMEA,

" Mr. Beattie, the civil engineer, and his staff—who
have recently returned to this country in consequence of
the termination of the railway upon which they were
engaged in Canada—have been employed by Govern-
ment to proceed to the Crimea. They are to embark at
Marseilles, on the 6th, for their • destination. A nume-
ions corps of miners, quarrymen, plate-layers, smiths,
and navvies, are to accompany or follow them."
This is as it should be. We thank the Govern-
ment for this step, which is decidedly in the right
direction, and which goes so far to prove that a
resolution has been formed, even at the eleventh
hour, to early on " the war in earnest."

STOPPING THE BRITISH SUPPLIES TO

THE ENEMY.

Our prominent notice of the exportation of lead seems
to have at length brought the Government to a sense of
their neglect to take proper precautions against supply-
ing the enemy with the means of killing our troops. It
will be seen by a proclamation in the Gazette of last night
that the Lords of the Council have stopped the exporta-
tion of lead to any place in Europe north of Dunkirk,
unless their previous sanction is obtained. No less than
90 tons of pig lead, it is said, were about to be shipped
for Prussia, intended, without doubt, for the brother-in-
law of the King and his most worthy ally the Emperor
of Russia.

THE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA.

A letter received in Liverpool yesterday, dated Scu-
tari, Nov. 15, rays :—" It blew a violent gale here last
night. The Wilson Kennedy lost her mainmast ; the
Coronella received considerable damage at the Golden
Horn ; the Cornwallis (store-ship) was also badly
damaged. The Courier was at Varna, with loss of fore-
topmast and bowsprit. The City of Carlisle arrived in
the Bosphorus leaky, having been ashore off the mouth
of the Danube." The above, we believe, are all Liver-
pool vessels, or are owned by Liverpool merchants.

THE REPORT OF GENERAL

DANATENBERG.

(From the Siecle.)

The report of General Dannenberg, giving an
count of the battle of the sth of November, is drawn
up in such a manner as t• pass over altogether what-
ever is most unfavourable to the Russiar. army in
its defeat at Inkerman. It mentions the regiments
which were principally engaged in that memor-
able affair, but it does not say one word of their
numbers. Far from that, General Dannenberg says,
in express terms, that the Russians were obliged
to yield to the superior forces of the English and
French. Bet as it is affirmed on good authority that
the Russians at Inkerman were 60,000 against 8,000
English and 6,000 French, what must be thought
of the Russian generals if it be true that at the de-
cisive point the Allies were really more numerous than
the enemy ? It may be remarked also that General
Dannenberg does not give the amount of his loss, and
does not say one word of the 5,000 Russians whom he
left us the trouble of interring. As to the eulogium
which Prince Menschikoff passes on the bravery of the
two Grand Dukes we at once agree to it. To be a
Prince, to feel oneself regarded by every eye, and not to
exhibit bravery, is an utter impossibility.

GREECE.

The hzdepew,dance Beige publishes the following
letter :

"ATHENS, Nov. 17.—1 have but one piece of iatelli.
genes to communicate to you by this mail, but it is of
a serious nature, and in the high political re-
gions it has excited real uneasiness. England, it
is said, is still animated with a feeling of resent-
ment against our Government, on account of the
lamentable facts which took place at the period of the
insurrection of the Greco-Turkish provinces, at the
beginning of the war in the East. The Cabinet of St.
James's, it appears, holds the Sovereign himself re-
sponsible for the faults, committed at the time by the
Cabinet, and we have been assured that in a recent in.
terview in London between Lord Clarendon and M.
Tricoupi, the Minister of Greece in England,
the words moral forfeiture' were pronounced. M.
Tricoupi has forwarded to his Government, in a con•
fidential letter, the account of that interview, and the
conversation that passed between him and the English
Minister. The French Government, itis added, does
not feel the same irritation as the English Government,
and endeavours to soothe the latter by expressing a hope
that the Greek Cabinet would perceive the necessity of
adopting a policy more conformable to the exigencies of
the moment."

THE STORM IN TIIE BLACK SEA.
A letter from Varna says that in the storm on the
14th most of the vessels were wrecked on the sea coast
between the Bay of Eupatoria and Cape Constantine.
The storm was accompanied by rain and snow. Three
steamers left the bays of Chersonese and Balahlays on
the 12th, with sick and wounded ; they were to hare
taken in fresh water at Varna, but had not arrived there
on the 19th, and it was therefore feared they had met
with some misfortune. Intelligence from the Crimea was
receiveß at Varna on this date. No event of importance
had occurred. The Allies were strengthening their posig
tion, and erecting impromptu barracks for the winter.
The bombardment continued, but only weakly.

SHOT FOR THE LANCASTERS.

Fox and Henderson, of Birmingham, have constructed
machinery to make shot and shell for the Lancaster gun,
with five times the accustomed rapidity. We trust we
shall have no more of the boring of the old 8-inch guns
for the oval shot or shell. Such expediency has proved
to be highly dangerous, and has brought, in some in-
stances, undeserved reflections upon the principle of the
new gun.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Dec. I.—Tuesday's market was the most
gloomy one we have had for some weeks, as well from
existing depression as from a discouraging view regarding
the future. We are not without other slightly encouraging
symptoms in our market, such as indications of the approach
of a better demand for several kinds of domestics, and
an apparent pause in the decline of prices at large. These
more favourable signs may 10-3 only illusory, as feared
by many, but, for the moment, they certainly relieve in
a small degree the despondent tone of our greatly de-
pressed market. We learn from merchants that the
manufacturers of Germany have a sound trade • and it is
much in their favour that the price of rye, the staple
food, is receding a fall equal to 6s. per qr. has just
taken place. The previous extreme indisposition to buy
yarns front our spinners for that country remains, how-
ever, -unabated ; and a restoration of confidence will
probably be a slow operation.
NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 30.—A few houses in the hosiery
trade state that they aro doing a small increased busi-
ness over the amount they had been doing for some
weeks past, but to do this business orders are taken at
unreraunerating prices.
LEICESTER, Nov. 30.—The Government orders and
others for wrought knit hose, stout shirts, drawers, and
gloves, besides a large quantity of warm fancy hosiery,
have very much relieved our market and kept up em-
ployment. Stocks of other kinds of goods are light ;
and as there is firmness in worsted yarns, and spin-
ners well employed in contract or other orders, the
operatives are tolerably well employed. Still, the high
price of provisions bears very heavily on them, as no
increase in their wages takes place. Cotton yarns have
receded a little. There is but little doing in wools,
growers not being willing to take less than 28s. per ton
at present.—Leicester Journal.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From. the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Dec. L—There has been no change in the
state of the woollen market this week that requires any
notice. On Saturday, as well as on Tuesday, the
markets in both Cloth-halls were of a quiet order, and
the transactions of a !limited character. Prices remain
without change, and stocks are without material .alte-
ration, The trade in the warehouses has been fiat
during the current week, but this is usual at this period
of the year. During the month of November, we lee-
lieve, the trade done in the warehouses has not been
below an average of ordinary years:
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 28.—The market was notably
flat to-day. Everybody seems to be doing as little busi-
ness as possible.
ROCHDALE, Nov. 27.—There has been a tolerably good
demand for flannels to-day, at prices similar to those of
the previous Monday.
BRADFORD, Nov. 30.—Wools.—The same dulness
we have reported for some time prevails. The con-
sumption of all kinds of combing wool is diminished,
and farmers still hold at prices which cannot be obtained
here. Tana—This branch is suffering, a result, no
doubt, produced by the unsound trading of a few who,
in our days of prosperity, were induced to betake them-
selves to a trade with which they were unacquainted,
and to add to it undue extension of speculative adven-
tures.
HALIFAX, Nov. 25.—1 n piece goods the market has
been very dull to-day, and both in this and the yarn de-
partment prospects .are very gloomy and discouraging.
In the long wool market the business is very small, and
prices still exhibit a, declining tendency. Short wools
are firmer in price ; they are more asked for, and have
become rather scarce.

DEATH OF DR. KirTo.—We regret to record the
death of the Rev. Dr. Kitto, widely known and esteemed
as the editor of the " Pictorial Bible," and author of
numerous works in illustration of the sacred text. Dr.
Kitto died at Canstadt, near Stuttgard, on the 25th ult.,
in the 51st year of his age,

Cheek, four years old, son of Charles Cheek, labourer,
residing on Kelvedon-road, near Coggleshall, by some
means fell down a well, which is used to supply the cot-
tages in that locality with water. Fortunately, a neigh-
bour soon after went for a pail of water, and while in the
act of winding it up she thought it unusually heavy, when
on looking into the well, to her astonishment she saw
the little fellow clinging to the pail, his face covered with
blood. He reached the top, but became so exhausted
that he was obliged to loosen his hold, and he again fell
to the bottom. A labourer, named Rootkin, descended
and rescued the little fellow, and he is going on fayour-
ably.

MARKET NEWS-(TEIS DA Y.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrival of English wheat, coastwise,
has been but moderate. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by
land carriage were limited, and the show of samples was
small. For most kinds we had a steady demand, and flue
qualities realised an advance of is per quarter. Old wheats
were quite as dear as on Monday.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, but the
imports continue trifling. About an average business was
transacted, and, in some instances, the quotations were in
favour of the sellers.

Floating cargoes were tolerably Arm.
There was rather more inquiry for grinding barley, at
very full prices, but the sale for malt was dull.
We had a steady sale for oats, at an advance of is per
quarter.
Beans and peas met a dull sale; but flour was firm. The
top price of English was 50s per 2801bs.

THE GUN-BOATS.

The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant-
Commander Luce, was taken out of the basin at Wool-
wich at half-past 5 a.m. yesterday, and at 5 minutes
past 6 left for Greenhithe to have her compasses adjusted,
and take on board from Purfleet her powder and live
shells; her shot, both solid and grape, the latter consisting
of fifteen 3-pounder shot, covered with tarred sail-cloth,
and attached to an 8-inch iron wadding for each charge of
the 68. pounder Lancaster's oval guns having been taken
on board previously at Woolwich. The stokers employed
in the Lynx being new hands and inexperienced in the
manner of getting up proper fires in the furnaces, and
keeping them in good condition, had great difficulty in
getting up the steam while proceeding down the river, and
it was only while passing the measured mile at Long
Reach that the fires became more brisk, and the engines ran
up from 83 to 100 revolutions per minute, that she attained
greater speed, and although the full power of steam she is
capable of using was not raised, she ran the measured mile
in five minutes 10 seconds, or at the rate of 11.613 knots
per hour, the tide being slack and the wind ahead. The
engines worked well, and it is evident she will make fully
an average speed of it knots per hour with the greates
ease. She will leave Greenhithe to-day for Davenport and
the Black Sea.

The Snake is now having her engines of 160 horse-power
put on board, at John Penn and Sons' establishment, at
Deptford, and will be ready to be brought down to Wool-
wich on Monday next, where she is to be fitted and com-
pleted.
