-Mr. Hepburn has been appointed first, and Mr. Saddler •
second, Master Attendant at this port, the former as a
s.dary of 4891., and the latter at 3801. ; their appointments
are understood to be for five years only, but eligible to be
re-appointed, or to go back to the Masters' half:-.pay list
with an additional shilling per diem. Mr. James Napier,
front the Caledonia, to be Master Attendant at. Sheerness.
The salary of the second Master Attendant being now
made to approximate more nearly to that of the first Xaater
Attendant, the same principle in this respect should be ob-
served in the pay of the Surgeon and Assistent-Surgeon of
the Dock-yards ; both Officers hold the same rank, and-
have the same duties and responsibility, but at present there
is a woeful disproportion of remuneration, being 5001. per
annum for the former, and 2001. for the latter. Some nosy
arran,gement of stipend in these cases could be most benc'.
cially adopted.

The Transit, steamer, arrived at Falmoath from the
Mediterranean, has brought a report, that the French had
actually commenced bombarding Tangiers, but it appears
that ilia only ground for the report was the fact of a
French squadron having just passed the gut, and firing
afterwards being heard in that quarter. The Transit
touched at Lisbon on the 12th. The Prince of Portugal
had visited Oporto, and returned to Lisbon. Thousands
assembled to welcome his Royal iligimess to Oporto. As
soon as he landed, he was greeted in the most enthusiastic
manner. His Majesty's ship Russell sailed on the 9th for
England, and had on board a marine condenmed to death
for stabbing an officer. The Malabar sailed for Cadiz
last Friday, and the Magicienne had already sailed for
Cadiz. "

By the Opossum packet, arrived from Mexico, we learn
that the Congress had refused to listen to any article of the:
treaty drawn up by the Texians, notwithstanding the loss
of their General ; 2,500 men were about to be conveyed
from Havannah for Mexico, when she left that place on
her return to England. Ail mercantile affairs were put an
end to, and the principals leaving the city : insurances of
nviney were effected at so high a rate as 124 per cent. on
England. His Majesty's ship Skipjack was spoken oft
Cape Verd.

. A court-martial is ordered to be held on Captai.a George
Hunt Coryton, of the Portsmouth division or, the Royal
Marines, on charges preferred against him 'ay Lieutenant-
Colonel George Jones, of the same corps, arising out of
some misunderstanding with respect to mess transactions.
We understand that simultaneous with the application to
the Admiralty made by the latter officer for this proceeding,
one was forwarded to that -Board by Captain Coryton, for
a court-martial on Colonel Jones.
