PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 24.—The Earl of Durham,
with his family and suite, arrived at the George Hotel yester-
day to dinner. This day, at one p.m., the Lightning steam-
vessel, with Sir Philip Durham's band on board, took his
Lordship, the Countess, and three daughters, with a number
of his attacht,s, on board the Hastings, 74. On his arrival on
board the Hastings immediately got under weigh, was taken
in tow by the Lightning, and towed round St. Helen's, from
whence she made sail with a fair wind for Quebec. His Lord-
ship was attended at his embarkation by the Earls of i;adnor
and Dundonald ' • Admirals Sir Philip Durham, Fleming, Sir
T. Briggs, and Bouverie ; Captains the Hon. F. Grey ant
A. Ellice; and the Lieutenant-Governor Sir Thomas INl'Mn-
bon, &c. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Dee was to have pro-
ceeded with the Hastings for the purpose of expediting her
passage up the river St. Lawrence, by towing her through
some of the intricate parts ; but in proceeding out of the har-
bour to Spithead, she, in going round the Swash passage,
grounded, and now lies hard and fast, and will not get off be•
fore eight p.m. ; as the weather is fine, she may not receive)
any damage, and in this case will follow the Hastings. The
Dee has fifty sappers and three engineer officers on board for
Quebec. The brigantine Charybdis, Lieutenant the Hon.
R. Gore, sailed with the Hastings, and goes with her to Que-
bec. Her Majesty's ship Portland, 52, Captain D. Price,
arrived yesterday from Malta, with Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas
Briggs and family. Sir Thomas struck his flag, and landed
this morning. The Portland will go to Plymouth to be paid off.
STATE OF TRADE.-There was a decided ap-
pearance of improvement in our market yesterday. The de-
mand for yarns, and for most descriptions of printing cloths,
was better than for some weeks past ; and a trifling advance
en previous rates was, in some cases, realised. The general
opinion appeared to be, that prices have at length seen their
lowest, and there was consequently a much more healthy
feeling than has prevailed for some considerable time.—Mon-
chester Guardian.

PARISH OF ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS.-
Yesterday a meeting of the rate-payers of the parish of St.
Martin-in-the-Fields took place in the Vestry-room, for the
purpose of proceeding with the scrutiny into the poll for
Churchwardens, which took place on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday last, when the return was declared to be iu
favour of Messrs. Cuff and Staunton. Scrutineers were then
agreed to, namely--Messrs. H. Pouncey, W. B. West, S.
Humphery, S. Barton, John Ellis, Joseph Hays, T. B. Wil-
son, T. Coleman, N. Addington, Biggs, and Mr. Grif-
fiths Foulkes. These gentlemen arranged to attend on Thurs-
day (this) evening at six o'clock, and it is generally supposed
that their labours will occupy them on alternate evenings until
the middle of next month. _

The coachman in custody at Queen-square charged
with having caused the death of a little girl. by carelessly
driving a carriage over her, was not in the service of Mr.
Urine°llor of Kensington, as erroneously stated, but in that of
a person of the same name at Chelsea.
