THE DEVONSHIRE PRISON SHIP.

The Devonshire, Commander Lloyd, prison ship, has,
we understand, about thirty Russian prisoners now on
board. The mate, that made his escape a few days back,
has not been caught. It is generally expected he is gone
to Hamburg, as that is his native place, or where he hails
from ; if so, it will be rather difficult to find hint out
again.

SHIPWRIGHTS WANTED.
A notice has been posted at the Dockyard gates, Sheer-
nesg, that shipwrights and caulkers are wanted for ser-
vice in that yard.

ACTIVITY AT SHEERNESS.
The greatest activity prevails throughout the whole
of her Majesty's dockyard ; the boiler factory is pro-
gressing fast, being now nearly roofed in, and the ends
that are propped np do not appear to sink any further.
Orders have been received to lay down another screw
corvette in the same graving dock where the Pylades,
just launched, was built. She is intended to be of the
same armament and size, with the exception of having
more beam, as the Pylades, and is to be named the
Scylla. There is a rumour here that a coal depot is to
be built on the spare place between the boiler factory
now building and the north-east end of the flock. Such
is very likely to be the case, but we cannot vouch for the
accuracy of it. This morning the whole of the yard
were mustered before Captain Tucker, superintendent,
according to the usual quarterly muster.

MISCELL INEOUS.

The Imperatrice is expected to be ready to reeve
troops at Portsmouth to-morrow.
The number of sailing vessels now employed by our
Government as transports is 108, and of steamers 56,
making a total of 164.
The Isabella 11., a steamer laden with stores of every
kind, the contributions of the public, has sailed from
Irongate Wharf, Tower, under the auspices of the Com-
mittee of the Crimean Army Fund, for Balaklava, where
the comforts thui provided will be gratuitously distri-
buted among the troops.
Yesterday a quantity of waterproof covers for blan-
kets for the use of the Sappers and Miners in the Crimea,
as also several hundred bales of warm clothing, blankets,
&c., were put on board lighters at the Tower Wharf, to
be shipped on board the transports at Deptford and
Woolwich for conveyance to the Crimea.

CULT'S REVOLTERS.

The following letter has been addressed to the
Mlitor of the Times :

Sir,—ln the Times of the 10th inst. was published a
note from a correspondent containing an extract front a
letter purporting to come from St. Petersburg, in which
tb ii writer makes.,the following statement :—" Col. Colt
hrs; been or is still here with his machinery to make re-
volvers." Whereupon, without any further delay, lam
attacked by various journals in terms of severe condem-
nation. Through the Times I beg the privilege of
alumering the statement and the attacks.
at is not true that I have furnished arms or machinery
to the Russian Government, or that I have contracted
to furnish either arms or machinery to that Govern-
malt. The only truth in the letter, as regards me is,
tha; I have been in Russia, as I have been in the other
1-,,:r0 it States of Europe during the last two months.
:Ever since my armoury has been established in Lon-
, doei, both it and my own skill have always been at the
service of the Government, and it rests with them to
etn:nloy either or both to their fullest extent. My offers
to the Government to manufacture any description of
arms at prices much less than are paid to others have
been sufficiently public already, and should afford a
coltplete answer to all comp!aints against me of the sort
referred to. It is not my fault if all my facilities are not
now devoted to the British Government.—l am, sir,
yotir obedient servant, . SAMUEL COLT.

THE BOMBAY MARKETS.
FROM TITS 14TH TO THN 28111 NOV.
The stringency in the money market noticed in our
last report has increased during the fortnight, and an
advance of 1 per cent. has taken place in the rate of dis-
count at the several banks. Advances on security of
Government paper cannot now be had under 5 per cent.
Our import markets in British manufacture, and in
general, since the despatch of the lat mail seem to
have assumed a more deplorable aspect than was re-
ported. Business transacted during the past fortnight
is very limited. Twist is in the same dilemma as piece
goods, except some favourite marks (orders f,r which
being received here) for transmission, which have met
with purchasers at or even above the current rate of the
day. Sales about 1,050 bales mule, and 383 bales
water, with stocks on hand.
Our metal market remains more firm.

Our market for piece goods has not much altered for
England, and any change has unfortunately been
against importers.
Freight, owing to the numerous arrivals during the
fortnight, has declined ; under our last quotations, the
present rate for Liverpool and London is 3/. per ton.
Exchange on England has varied little since last
mail. The ruling quotations have been 2s. to 2s. O'd.
for China paper, and 2s. O'd. to 2s. 5-16 d. for document
bills.

PRIVATE AND JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

The Banker's Magazine furnishes the returns of circu-
lation of the private and joint-stock banks in England
and Wales for the four weeks ending the 25th of Nov.,
1854, and gives the following as the average weekly cir-
culation of those banks during the past month, viz. :
Private banks .......................................... £3,946,163
Joint-stock banks ....................................... 3,134,898

Average weekly circulation £7,081,061
On comparing the above with the returns for the pre-
ceding month, ending the 28th of October last, it
shows—

banks of

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 27.

GUILDHALL.—Joseph Bradley was charged before
Alderman Lawrence with stealing 29 printed books, the
property of the Religious Tract Society.
0. T. Gaylor, police constable 348, said that about half-
past five last night he saw the prisoner in the shop of the
Religious Tract Society, and nobody behind the counter.
He saw him put about a dozen of the books in a large
pocket inside his coat while the head assistant was gone
for No. 6 of a periodical called " Sunday at Home."
When the assistant returned the prisoner asked for No.
79 of the "Leis,ure Hour," which was kept in a remote
part of the establishment, and in his absence the prisoner
took about a dozen more books from the counter, and
placed them in another pocket inside his coat, and then
taking up the periodical he had first asked for, he opened
it like a newspaper, and held it up to screen him from
observation while he took a third lot of books and con-
cealell them in the breast of his coat. When the assist.
ant returned with the " Leisure Hour" the prisoner paid
for the two periodicals, and left the shop. Witness then
followed him into Cannon-alley, where on being stopped
he confessed he had taken the books.

George Sabine said the value of the books was 3gs.
They were new books, and as such were kept en the
counter.

The prisoner was remanded for inquiry into cha-
racter.

WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas George Tibbs, a
cabinetmaker in Cole Harbour-street, Hackney-road,
was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with a brutal and
aggravated assault upon Margaret Hughes, a young
woman with whom he cohabited.

It appeared that the prisoner had returned home
the previous night in a state of savage exc►tement,
and after partaking of what complainant described
as a comfortable supper, he commenced to ill-treat
her for not providing better fare. He threw a
heavy dish at her, knocked her down, and beat her un-
mercifully as she lay on the ground. The complainant's
face was shockingly contused and lacerated, and she
was scarcely able to articulate from excessive pain and
debility.
On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner
said that he was very much intoxicated at the time,
and had no recollection of anything fiat had taken
place.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said that it was a most cruel and
dastardly outrage, and he should order the prisoner to
be committed and kept to hard labour for six months in
the house of Correction.

MARYLELONE._ Dqvid Jones, living at Victoria-
terrace, Bethnal-green, was brought up on Tuesday,
charged with Ira(' and forgery.
It appeared from the evideu,:e, rhich was gone into
at considerable length, that the prisoner had been for
several years employed as coachman by Mr. Philip Smith
Coxe, Solicitor, 83, Hainikon-terrace, St. J'ohn's-wood,
and that be absconded about six weeks ago. He (prose-
cutor) hid. been in the habit of settling accounts turntll;y
with the prisoner, in whom he placed much confidence,

GUN COTTON.

The following letter has been addressed to a con-
temporary :
Sir,—The successful introduction of gun cotton in the
Austrian artillery has caused a general anxiety to learn
whether any similar experiments have been made in our
own service since the first discovery of this powerful ex-
plosive, at which time, though no official statements
wore published, it was generally understood that the
too rapid combustion burst the guns, and proved
gun cotton to be inapplicable to the artillery then in
use,
As the hesitation, which I should otherwise have felt
in addressing any suggestions on the subject to a pa bile
journal, is removed by the publicity already given to the
matter by a letter in yesterday's Times, I would venture
to ask, knowing how much the vary obviousness and
simplicity of the process will sometimes interfere with its

trial-
1. Whether the experiment has been made of using a
wad of gun cotton over the charge of powder ? And,
if, in this case, the gradual ignition of the coarse
powder would not have overcome the vis inertias of the
ball and forced it forward in the tube of the gun
before the gun cotton could explode ? The danger of
bursting would be further diminished by wrought-iron
guns ?
2. Whether fulminates and explosives of a far more
formidable nature than any now in general use might
not be safely used in the filling of shells, if these ma-
terials were carefully wrapped up and packed into the
shell with gun cotton ? No blow, short of that caused
by propulsion from a gun, would produce heat enough
to explode the cotton.—Yours, &c.,
No CHEMIST.

EGYPT.

ALTAANDRIA, Dec. 19.—The Valetta arrived
here yesterday, with the Marseilles portion of tke
Loudon overland mail of December 9, and returns
to-day with the Marseilles portion of the Calcutta
mail of November 20.

The Euxine, with the Southampton portion of
the mail, has not yet arrived, and the steamers are
detained at Suez until she does come in.

The body of the late Lord F. Fitzclarence, which
reached Cairo from Bombay on the 13th, will not
be brought down to Alexandria for another week,
and will be taken to England by the next mail with
Lady Fitzclarence.
Said Pasha, the Viceroy, has postponed his de-
parture for Upper Egypt until after his reception
of the Hon. C. A. Murray, Minister-Plenipoten-
tiary in Persia. Said Pasha has frequently and
publicly expressed his great dis'ike to Mr. Murray,
and it must be with very bitter feelings that ha
finds himself under the necessity of showing him
any attention. His Highness continues to be sorely
pressed for money. On the 10th of April, accord-
ing to the Sultan's firman, Said Pasha will have to
pay six months' tribute in advance, or upwards of
140,0001. sterling, to the Bank of England or of
France, on account of the Turkish loan, and if his
Highness has such difficulty in meeting present
expenses, he will have to resort to some extraor-
dinary means in order to carry out the Sultan's
orders by the 10th April.

IPSWICH—Ocr. 24.

The supply of wheat was small. The excitement which,
has pervaded the trade the last ten days was equally shown
at this market, and the advance on previous prices fully Ss
to 10s par qr. Barley was in good supply. The high prices
demanded checked sales, but choice qualities fetched an
advance of 3s to 4s per qr. on last week's rates. Beaus and
peas scarce and dear.

"For gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders
in having failed, on or about the evening of the 22d
September, 1854, to call at the tent of Dr. Hall, In-
spector General of Hospitals, his superior officer, for
final instructions previous to going on board ship in

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—The Pacific is now in pert ; and, being doubtful
all along that the news was "too good to be true" that
the natives had seen the vessels, from what I hear and
know of the coast, I feel convinced that the whole
statement is not worth a rush, as the distance overland
from the two points, which is oily 215 miles right across
the land • so that if natives had been there, they could
and would have been inclined to have gone again and
brought some sort of intelligence of the parties. But
what I now write is at the instance of Captain Reid,
of tLe Pacific, who has his brother with Sir John. He
feels also assured that the natives have not seen the ves-
sels, and therefore those in high quarters, though came
fortable and snug at their own firesides, should net forget
that they, the explorers, who have thus imperilled their
lives for the gratification of scientific clubs and coteries,
that they may have something to chatter about, should
be up and still doing what may yet bring us intelli-
gence of these noble fellows. I feel assured that "Gale's"
balloon might give a very good " bird's-eye" view of the
country, had it only been thought of in time ; as, if the
balloon were started at Ponds Bay it would give a very
great range of view, and even might be seen by the ex-
plorers, as they have plenty of means in their power to
raise a balloon from fire, rage, and tallow. At night a
balloon would be seen a great way. Everything that
can be done ought to be done, if it were but for one
thing—that is, to soothe the heart of that noble lady
who has shown the old women at the Admiralty how
to be up and doing. I trust your powerful pea will be
employed in this natter. The provisions, &c., sent out
by Lady Franklin were left there by Captain Reid, of
the Pacific.—Yours, kc.,
" NEVER GIVE UP,
For they may be saved yet."

MARKET NEWS—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Scarcely any English wheat was on 'offer in to-day's
market. Holders generally were very firm, and Monday'a
advance was freely paid in every instance.
We had more doing in foreign wheat, and, in some
cases, the quotations were 2s per quarter higher.
Barley—the supply of which was limited—sold briskly
at very full prices. Malt was the turn dearer.
The oat trade ruled firm, and good sound corn was quite
6s per quarter higher.
Beans and peas sold freely at extreme rates.
The flour trade was brisk, and the top price of English
was 708 per sack. From Spain, 2,710 sacks have arrived
this week.

REMARKS BY VTR COMMANDER OF THE FORCES.

" The Commander of the Forces has confirmed the
finding of the general court-martial on Assistant-
Surgeon S. Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, but he has felt
himself compelled to withhold his approval of it, the
evidence given .in support of the charge having fully
established to his satisfaction that the prisoner had
received an order from the head of the medical depart-
ment, which be had failed to obey. Upon an occasion on
which many wounded men had been placed on board and
required the utmost care and attention, the medical
officer selected to accompany them was found to be
absent. This arose from Assistant-Surgeon ;More not
having reported himself to Dr. Hall on the 22d, as spe-
cially ordered ; and thus an important service was
neglected, and the vessel was prevented sailing at the
time appointed.

" Obedience to orders is the first duty of an officer
under all circumstances ; but it is more particularly
that of a medical officer after an action—when the com-
fort and even the lives of the wounded, in a great degree
depend upon his close attendance, his ability, and his
humane exertions to assuage their sufferings.
" Assistant Surgeon Moore is released from arrest,
and will return to his duty."

[ADVERTISEXIENT.]—SuppIement, gratis, with the
Weekly Dispatch of Sunday, October 29th. The Weekly
Dispatch of Sunday, the 29th of October, will be accom-
panied by a Supplement, containing the most ample
particulars of the Bombardment of Sebastopol and every
event of interest connected with the operations of the
Allied Armies in the Crimea up to the moment of pub-
lication. This Supplement, like the one published or.
the 15th instant, and which was so highly appreciated
by the public, will be entirely devoted to the intelligence
of the War. Purchasers will thus possess a detailed nar-
rative of all the great events of this important under-
taking, which may be preserved separately from the
newspaper, if desired, or, being uniform in size and ap-
pearance, can be bound with the volume of the year. It
is the intention of the Proprietors to issue at intervals
other Supplements, carrying on the History of the War,
and giving the fullest and most authentic information on
the subject. The Dispatch will also contain a full account
of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his brave com-
panions. Orders should be immediately given to the
News-agents in town and country, or at the Dispatch
Office, 139, Fleet-street.

TURKEY,

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 12.
As the allied force was at no time large, and has
been seriously diminished, reinforcements are being
sent for with all speed to ensure the success of the
attack, and to make head against the hostile bodies
said to b• advancing. Within the last two days
3,000 men of the Legion Etrangere have passed up
from Gallipoli. These are excellent troops, and
will go far to make good the losses of the Alma and
the cholera. The reserves of the Turks are also
called into service. To-day the Orinoco went up
to the Crimea with 1,300 Turkish infantry, two
small steamers carried 800 yesterday, and the
number will be made up to 4,000 within the pre-
sent week. The French reserves at Varna, to the
number of 8,000, have of course long:since been
sent to the scene of war. It is to be regretted,
however, that the allied forge is not more nume-
rous. For full efficiency of operations it is neces-
sary to have an army on the northern side of Se-
bastopol to cut off communication with the open
country. The fact of 4,000 men having lately en-
tered to reinforce the garrison is a. proof how much
we suffer from the inadequacy of our force.
