PARLIAMENTARY and FINANCIAL
REFG Rill MOVEMEN r AT STOCKPORT.
(FROM OUR CORRESP.NDENT
Lastl a soirée of the Stockport Reform Asso-
ciation was, held at the Lyceum, to meet a deputation
from the Nah'ional Association, which was announced to
consist of Sir Joshua %Valwsley, MP., and T. Atkinson,
Esq. Mr. Councillor Williamson in the chair. The meeting
was numerously and respectably attendt.d, and was
honoured by the presence of many ladies. Among the
guests were John Williams, Esq , M.P., James Kershaw,
Esq., M.P., Mr. Ry!and, Mr."; A. Prentice, Sir Ralph
Pendlebury,jMr. H. Coppoek,_ Scc.
The CHAIRMAN opened the "proceedings by ex-
plaining the objects of Financial Reform Asso-
ciatiens, and detailed the progress the present
movement had already made in this country.
He hoped the success which lud so far at-
tended the Friends of Reform woul serve
to inspirit them to further exertions, and that they
would not pause until they had outdriven
.everything
from the country which partook in the least .cf oppres-
sion of the poor man. He concluded by introducing to
the meeting, John Williams, M.P. for Macclesfield.
Mr. WILLIAMS on his appearance was received with
loud and continued cheering. He said—Mr. Chairman
and Gentlemen, I have not come here in compliment to
any party, but to bear my siccL re and hearty
testimony to the honest and straightforward
wanner in which your worthy Meinba, James
Kershaw, performed all his duties in the
Commons House of Parliament. I must apologise for
the hoarseness of my voice, for I have just come here
from addressing two of the largest meetings that the
town of Macclesfield ever saw. Sprung from the
working classes myself, I have to thank the
working classes of Macclesfield for carrying me
to the proud position which I now occupy, on
their shoulders, and trust that no conduct of mine
will ever cause them to blush for their choice. The
Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to say there was no sub-
ject which he had so much at heart as the extension
of the suffrage; and, in fact, all kinds of Parliamentary
Reform, for it was totally impossible that any financial
reform could be fully carried out until the , people
were properly represented in the Hens° of Commons;
until every man of twenty-one years of age, be his house
where it might, or of what sort it might, " only give
him a local habitation and a name,' whether Cs. a week
or 6/, should have a voice in sending to Parliament
those who were to legislate there for him. After some
:ur ther observations,
Mr. Kershaw, Mr. T. Atkinson, and Mr. Prentice,
then severally addressed the meeting, after which a vote
of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting
terminated.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
REDUCTION IN THE STAFF.—We believe it is in
contemplation to make a considerable reduction in
the Staff of the Army generally.
Major-General W. Jarvois, K.H., whose succession
to the Good Service Pension of 1001. per annum we
lately announced, has obtained the Unattached Pay of
twenty-five shillings per diem from the 27th ultimo.
TUB ROYAL YACHT PROMOTIONS.—The Royal
Yacht promotions have been made this day. They
are Lieutenant Vansittart to be Commander; and
Mates Campion, Jago, and Nicholas to be Lieutenant.
Tun Rs.TIRED Lisr.—lt will have been observed
that several captains on the Retired List of 1846,
have been recently promoted. They obtain their rank
i❑ accordance with the terms proposed in the London
Gazette of Sept. 1, 1846, without increase of pay.
They are of equal seniority, as captains, with those
on the Active List, but their commander's commis-
' sicns being senior, they succeed to their promotion as
retired flag-officers before those promoted to the
above list. By the promotion of Retired Rear Ad-
miral Harper, C. 8., Captain James Couch succeeds
to the retired pay of 20s. per diem.
THE SUPERINTENDENTSHIP OF DEVONPORT DOCK
YARD.—No successor to Sir John Louis has yet been
appointed, and the field of speculation is still open to
all adventurers. It appears, however, that the Flag-
list is given up, and Captain Berkeley, C,8., Captain
Toup Nicolas, C. 8., and Lord John Hay, C. 8.,
seem to be the favourite candidates. For the
reasons stated last week we do dot think Captain
Berkeley will accept the post. It is much more likely
that he will " bide his time" for the lucrative command
of the Pacific station. Of the last two named then

it is stated that the younger officer will be the one
appointed. The most junior, however, will become
a flag officer in less than five years, and for a less
term than five years certain the appointment should
not be made. It is, therefore, most likely, if Captain
Toup Niccalas (who has served afloat, in war and
peace, nearly thirty years), or Lord John hay, or
any other of the senior captains should be appointed,
they will be allowed to succeed to their flig rank as
their turn comes for promotion, or, like Sir James
Gordon at Greenwich, they will continue to be
captains whilst holding the appointment, with the
right of assuming their proper place on the flag list
when the five years have expired.

THE SITUATION OF TOWN MAJOR CF DUBLIN.—
We understand that there are no less than between
forty and fifty candidates for the situation of Town
Major of Dublin. The statement that has been put
forth in some of the daily papers that Major Fraser,
of the 35th Regiment, was the successful candidate,
is, to say the least of it, premature, no decision having
yet been come to by the authorities at the Horse
Guards on the subject.
THE HYDRA STEAM SLOOF.--This steam sloop
has been ordered home from the Brazil station to be
paid off, having large defects which require to be made
good. By the time she reaches England she will have
been in commission three years.
BRITISH AND FRENCH FORCES IN THE MEDITER-
RANEAN.—The British and French Naval Forces in
the Mediterranean are as follows :

with all faults, and sold without reserve. Pekoe Tea is
not much wanted, and for Flowery there are ready sellers
at rather lower rates. The value of low and good com-
mon Congo's is now 8,1 to 93, but mid 91d to 101 d, ditto
strong blackish leaf 11d to is 23, fine and Pekoe flavour
Is 3110 Is 93 per lb.
RICE.—Fur East India the market has still an im-
proving appearance, and a further decrease is apparent
in supplies of all sorts. Exporters have been desirous
to operate, and the home trade demand has been good,
whilst the rates paid are rather above those
current previously. Tho private operations
have been 10,000 bags, chiefly at 8s 3d for
Arracan, and at 103 to 103 63 for good white Bengal;
fine is worth Ila to lis 6d, and low broken sorts are
with diffloulty to be purchased under 9s, and cargo 8s;
only 1,288 bags of Madras have been offered at auction,
which found ready purchases; mid pinky white
at 33 63, good 93 to 93 6d; and damaged 6s 63 to Is.
Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Cleaned
Ries, and the market is firm; Patna, low to fine at 123
to 17s, broken 103 to I Is, town dressed Carolina, first
sorts 265, second ditto 225, broken at 14s 6d to 1.53, and
American 20s to 21s per cwt.

SPICES.—To-day at public sale 1,276 bags of Bengal
Ginger were sold at 19s 61 to 2l for mid and good
export sort, and damaged 13s 61 to 20a per cwt; 85 bags
wers disposed of at 34d to 31d for heavy brown.
SPlnns.—The market for Leeward Island Rum is
firm, and purchases to a fair extent have been made at
is 5d to Is 51dproof; the demand is also expected to
get larger, and some holders will not sell at present
prices. Of East India several parcels have been taken
at is 31 to is 313, and at which there are not
generally sellers. Jamaica realised fully former
terms, and home as well as shipping orders are on
the increase. The sales for the week are 700 puns at
2s 53 to 3s 6 I for low to fine quality 28 to 36 per cent
over proof, and superior 3s 8d to 4s for 34 to 36 over.
Of Demerara several parcels have been sold at 2s to 2s
3d for 30 to 40 per cent over. Fur Brandy the market
is 'Filet, and prices must be quoted rather lower, still
deliveries are not smaller for home use or export. There
are sellers of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848
at 4s 4d to 4s 6d per gallon.
COCHINEAL —To-day the public sales of 188 bags
Cochineal went at steady rates. Honduras silvers at

3; 61 to 3s 7d, black 3s 9d to 4s.
FRUIT.—In Currants we have no alteration to notice.
There is a fair amount of business doing in new
by private contract at our quotations. Prices
may be considered very firm. There have been no
fresh arrivals since the Bth inst. Valencia Raisins are
selling steadily in small parcels at 41s to 425. Grocers
are looking for lower prices, but the importers are not
disposed to make a further reduction, as they are losing
considerably even at the present rates. New Turkey
Figs are selling from 60s to SOs.
lismoo.—To-day during the progress of the sale 154
chts have been withdrawn; 1,426 chts (including 410
withdrawn) have passed the sale. The biddings were
less animated, and for parcels withdrawn or bought in
at former sales prices were a shade under the rates pre-
viously established. Proprietors have bought in 200
chts. 13,726 chts have now passed the auction, of
which 4,780 have been withdrawn, and 1,338 bought in,
leaving 7,038 chts sold.
