FA T HER WIN TER In imitation of "Father William."
You are cold, Father Winter, a young man cried,
The sparrows sit mute on the spray ;
Yon are dull. Father Winter, and hazy, and damp,
What is good for your season, I pray ?
Near Aldgate's tall church, Father Winter replied,
Is a Mart which was never surpassed ;
And there you may purchase of Moses and Son
Wanu clothes that will wear to the last.

You are cold, Father Winter, the young man cried,
And the gardens no longer look gay;
Now tell me what Overcoats Moses have got—
Are t hey fit for your season, I pray ?
These coats, in their style, Father Winter replied,
Arc indeei of a very rare cast ;
And in cloth and in make yon will find them the best,
No wonder they're selling so fast.
You are cold, Father Whiter, the young man:eried,
My wife was complaining to-day ;
And she asked me 'o buy her a Cape and a Muff;
Of whom shall I buy them, I pray ?
Of Moses and Son, Father Winter replied,
The tradesmen whom all sh uld engage ;
Whose good and cheap Furs, like the Coats, will protect,
When the turbulent elements rage.

In the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Court of Bank-
ruptcy, the certificate of Mr. Cuthbert Rippon, formerly
M.P. for Gateshead, was suspended for 12 months. ,The
judge observed that the bankrupt was open to the charge
of culpable extravagance and reckless proceedings. The
debts are 156,0001., and the assets will barely recover
the expenses.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Eurydice, 26, Cap-
tain Anson, arrived at Spithead this day, at noon, from
the Cape of Good Hope station. She put in Ply-
mouth Sound on Friday night, and landed mails, and
sailed thence for this port at three P.M. yesterday.
She sailed from Mauritius on the 18th of September,
where affairs were improving, and the price of sugar
was advancing. The French frigate Artemise, 26,
lay there undergoing extensive repairs. She left the
Cape on the 12th of October, leaving in the Bay the
Castor, 36, Commander Wyvill ; the Neptune con-
vict ship, with half her prisoners quarterel on board
the Seringapatam depot ship ; and the Geyser steam-
sloop, Commander Browne. Dr. Deas, Superin-
tendent of the Neptune convict ship (whose illness
we reported on the arrival of the last advices), died
in hospital at Simon's Bay just before the Eurydice
sailed. Dr. Gibson, of the Eurydice, was appointed
by the Commodore to the charge of the Neptune; Assistant-Surgeon Kitg, of the Eurydice, being pro- I
'noted to the vacancy of Dr. Gibson. Dr. Munro, of
the Castor, is also dead, and Assistant-Surgeon Elliott,
of that ship, promoted to the vacancy. The Dee
steam troop ship, Lieutenant Commander Crowder
(acting), was in the .Mozambique looking for slaves.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, sailed from
Simon's Bay for the Mozambique on a similar expe-
dition, on the 4th of October. The Cleopatra, 26,
Captain Massie, from England and Rio, had not put
in at the Cape.
The Eurydice put in at St. Helena on the 24th of
October, and found there three prizes—one to the
Centaur steam-frigate, one to the Cyclops and Rattler,
and one to the Sealark, whose prize officers (Mr. Small-
page, of the Rattler, mate ; Mr. Stewart, midshipman
of the same vessel; and Mr. Simpson, midshipman of
the Cyclops) and crew she gave passage to Ascension,
which she left on the 31st of October, at which date
Commodore Fanshawe was at the island in the Cen-
taur steam-frigate. The Tortoise guardship, Captain
Hutton, was also there. The Flying Fish, 12, Com-
mander Patsy, arrived at Ascension from England
and Sierra Leone on the evening of the 30th of Oc-
tober. The Coast of Africa squadron was all healthy.
The Eurydice has brought home a freight on Govern
ment account amounting to 8,0001. sterling, in small
coin, principally " tokens " from the Mauritius, and
the following officers :—Lieutenant A. W. Palmer,
,sth Fusiliers, from the Mauritius ; Lieutenants
Thompson, Shuldham, Gore, and Elkington, of the
6th Royal Regiment of Foot, from the Cape. Mr.
Wynniett, mate of her Majesty's ship Dolphin, left
behind at Ascension when that vessel left for England,
has also come home in the Eurydice. The City
of Poonah Indiaman sai'ed from the Cape for
Englend, we are informed, 36 hours before the Eury-
dice, which latter is ordered into the harbour to be
paid off. Affairs at the Cape were becoming, if pos.
Bible, more unsettled every day. A great meeting
was held at Cape Town on the day before the Eury-
dice sailed, at which some most sweeping resolutions
were passed. The " supplies " had been granted to
the navy and army, but had again been summarily
stopped. Sir Harry Smith was at Cape Town.
The Eurydice was commissioned in May, 1846, by
Captain Elliott, under whose command she joined the
experimental squadron. Captain Elliott was suc-
ceeded on the Bth of October, in the same year, by
her present commander, Captain Anson, under whom
she has been employed entirely at the Cape station.
It is to be regretted that in consequence of disputes
on board a court-martial or court of inquiry will, in
all probability, be necessary on four or five of the
young officers, unless they retire from the service.
At two o'clock this afternoon the frigate sailed for
Portsmouth.
ROYAL MAnlNEs.—An exchange of divisions has
been sanctioned between the undermentioned officers :
--Captain T. D. Fosbrook, of the Woolwich division,
and Captain H. C. M. Hawkey, Plymouth division ;
First Lieutenant J. A. Stewart, Acting Paymaster to
the detachment at Pembroke-dock, to be Adjutant at
Woolwich, vice Foote, promoted; First Lieutenant
W. A. Gamer Wright, to be Paymaster at Pembroke,
vice Stewart.
PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, DEC- I.—Her Majesty's
frigate Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera V. Anson,
came in last evening, 49 days from the Cape of Good
Hope, having left there on the 12th of October. She
left St. Helena the 23d of October, called at Ascension
on the 29th, sad sailed again on the 31st.
At the Cape—Her Majesty's flag-ship Castor, 36,
Commodore Christoper Wyvill ; the steam-sloop
Geyser, 6, Commander Francis T. Brown ; and the
convict-ship Neptune. The East India merchant.
ship Poonah left Table Bay, homeward bound, on the
11th of October. On passage from the Cape, spoke
the Santipore, from Manilla.
Her Majesty's brig Hound sailed at three o'clock
for the coast of Africa.
The merchant ship Candahar, Captain Goss, which
left Singapore on the 2d of July, and touched at St.
Helena on the sth of October, passed up Channel last
evening, and landed here Messrs. Simoox and West,
passengers. Her other passengers are a lady
named Muller and a lad going to Christchurch school.
The Candahar has a full cargo of gambia, gutta per-
cha, spice, dye-wood, rattans, &c. Three slave
prizes were at St. Helena, one of which was in charge
of Lieutenant Smallpage, and one of Mr. Simpson,
midshipman. The Princess Selina, a new Calcutta-
built ship, arrived at St. Helena on the 3rd of October,
bound to London. The Thomas Sparks, from Cal-
cutta, which lost three hands overboard, and had her
decks swept, off the Cape, in the heavy gale on the
26th of August, when a Dutch bark foundred, was at
St. Helena, under repair. The Soubador, from Cal-
cutta for London, was on the point of sailing from St.
Helena on the sth of October. The brig Gulterus,
which left Singapore a week after the Candahar,
sailed from St. Helena two days before she arrived
there

October 22d, spoke the Old England, out 134 days
from Manilla, for Cowes, for orders and the John
Bibbey, out 97 days from Canton, for London.
,Spoke the Dutch barque Cornelia, out 70 days
from Batavio., for Amsterdam.

PROMOTIONS.

WOOLWICH, DEC. I.—Richard Harvey to be
acting boatswain ; Samuel Gecko to be acting car-
penter..
The, departure of the Enterprise and the Investi-
gator for Chatham has been postponed for the present,
and as there,is no sheathing on, their bottoms, it is
likely they will remain here until they are again
required to proceed on another expedition to the
Arctic regions, the water being fresher at Woolwich
than it is at Chatham, and less liable to marine insects.
The Enterprise was taken into dock at Woolwich
to-day, to have her bottom examined, and the Inves-
tigator was taken into the basin preparatory to being
docked, and there is now no doubt of another expe-
dition being sent in search of Captain Sir John
Franklin and the officers and men of the Erebus and
Terror discovery vessels.
The Sampson steam-frigate is ordered from Devon-
port to Woolwich, to have new boilers.

DEC. 2.—The Horatio, 24 guns, steam guard ship,
200 horse power, was brought round from Chatham
to Woolwich to-day by the African and Monkey
steamo.re3sels, and is to he taken to the East India
Docks, at Blackwall, to be fitted with her engines by
Messrs. Seaward and Co.

Lieutenant Robertson, with a party of stokers of
Captain Austin's steam department, are under orders
to proceed to Sheerness at an early hour to-morrow,
to proceed in the Amphion, 30, steam-frigate, 300 -
horse power, for a trial cruise of that vessel for a week
in the North Sea.

The Nankin, 50 •gun frigate, building at this yard,
is ordered to be launched on January 17, 1850.
ESCAPE or A CONVICT. One of the convicts,
named Henry Smith, twenty-four years of age, es-
caped from the shot-gang in the Royal Arsenal on
Thursday last, and has not been heard of since.
CHATHAM, DEC. I.—The Tiger steam-ship did not
go out of dock yesterday as it was intended, in con-
sequence of there not being sufficient water in the
river to float her out. The ceremony of christening
the ship was gone through; it was performed by
Mrs. A. Lawrie, the wife of the Chief of Engineers
of the yard, breaking a bottle of wins over her bows,
and naming the vessel. This war steamer is a splen-
did ship, having spacious room ; she is built on the
plan of Mr. John Eyde, Sub-Surveyor of the Navy;
her outside planking is that of the best seasoned teak.
She floats out of dock this day.

JAMAICA.
Advices from this island, which extend to the
evening of the 7th of November, represent the colony
as continuing healthy, awl the weather, almost
throughout the island, highly favourable to culti-
vation.
The mails, which left Southampton on the 2d of
October, did not reach Kingston until the evening of
the 4th of November. The delay was owing to bad
weather experienced by the outward boat from South-
ampton. The general irregularity in the arrival of
the steamers has created corpiderable annoyance to
parties in Jamaica as well as in other colonies. In
the present case in Jamaica, many parties residing in
parishes in the interior had not sufficient time afforded
them between the arrival and the departure of the
steamer to answer their correspondence. American
steamers arrive semimonthly at Kingston with more
regularity than the English boats, and European in-
telligence is generally anticipated in Jamaica by
them. Merchants have in many instances availed
themselve of the conveyance to forward letters to
Europe.
The Legislature continued in session, and had been
sitting upwards of two months, during which period
little or no business of real importance to the country
has been transacted. The retrenchment question,
which has been so long in abeyance, and upon which
parties cannot agree, seemed still to exclude from the
public mind all other subjects, and many important
measures of legislation were left unattended to. The
evening before the packet left a report from a com-
mittee was agreed to by the House, recommending
the following reductions in the expenditure :
All salaries of 2004 and up to 1,000/. to be reduced
10 per cent., and salaries of 1,000/. and upwards to
be reduced 20 per cent.
Contrary to general expectations, this scale of
reduction was opposed by the " King's House
party," principally on the ground that it would
not be assented to by the Council. The Country
party supported it, declaring it to be for the public
good, and disregarding altogether the wishes of
the Council. The report was agreed to in rather a
thin house. Eighteen members of the Country party
voted for it, and six members of the Opposition
against it. The evening on which the steamer left
was appointed for further discussion on the subject,
and there appeared no doubt that a Bill to effect the
reductions recommended in the report would be
agreed to. In the event of this, should the Council
again venture to reject so mild a measure, the hostile
position of the different branches of the Legislature
one to another will be renewed. In the meanwhile
the country was suffering from the loss of revenue,
the Country party having refused to proceed with
the consideration of a Bill levying a duty on rum con-
sumed in the island until the Council shall have
passed the Retrenchment Bill which would soon be
prepared for them. From the unnecessary delay
which takes place in almost every measure introduced,
occasioned by the unseemly and personal discussions
which arise, it was thought that the session would
not be brought to a close in time for the Christmas
holidays, unless, as usually is the case, many im-
portant matters were disregarded.
The following, in reference to the establishment of
a regular mail communication between New York
and Jamaica, appears in one of the local papers :
" KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Nov. s.—The Consul of the
United States respectfully takes leave to inform the
merchants and other inhabitants of this island that the
address which they did him the honour to present to
him, under date of the 3d September last, requesting
that he would solicit his Government to establish a
regular mail communication through this port, has boen
forwarded and most favourably received; and from the
tenor of the communication received by him, he is led
to believe that, at the meeting of Congress, the measure
will be carried into effect."

MARKETS.—TUESDAY ArTERNOON, Nov. 6.
The business of the week has been quite as dull and
heavy ts that which preceded it. Trade seems to bo
entirely at a stand. The seasons throughout the
country live been excellent; but there. are few estates
at th s moment in a position to take advantage of them.
The obcurors are ill employed, and are therefore unable
to purchaAe more than they are compelled to provide
thenvelvcs with. BuPiness consequently droops con-
siderably, and all branches of trade are in a state of
complete str.guation.
Freight remains extr,mely dull, without any lac!: of
ship.

BARBADOES, Nov. 3.—A very numerous and re-
spectable meeting was held at Bridge Town, for the
purpose of petitioning both Houses of Parliament to
take some decisive steps to suppress the African slave
trade.

Loss BY FIRE AT SEA OF THE AMERICAN
GRANT SHIP CABEL GREMSFIEM.—FAYAL, AZOREF,
Nov. 26.—The British barque Sarah, D. Cook,
master, from London to St. John's New Brunswick,
put iu here on the 24th inst., with 390 passengers
(emigrants) taken from the American ship Cabel
Gremshem, on fire, on the 17th inst., sixteen miles
south•east of the Island of Flores. The unfortunate
people have lost everything, but have every reason to
be thankful for their providential escape from death
by fire. The master of the late American ship Cabel
Gremshem has been induced to charter the barque
Sarah, and forward the passengers to the United
States, at the expense of his owners.

AN AID TO EARLY RISING.—A mechanic residing
at Newcastle-street, Hulme, has constructed a little ma-
chine for the purpose of awaking himself early in a
morning. To a Dutch clock in the kitchen he has at-
tached a lever, from which a wire communicates through
the ceiling to the bedroom above, in which he has fixed
his novel invention. Having set the lever to any hour
at which he may wish to be awakened, when the time
arrives it is released by the clock, and the machinery up-
stairs rings a bell, then strikes a match, which lights an
oil lamp. This lamp runs upon four wheels, and is at
the same instant propelled through a tin tube on a mi-
niature railway, about five feet long, which is raised by
small iron supports a few inches above the bedroom floor.
Near the end of the " line" is fixed an elevated iron
stand upon which a small teakettle is placed (holding about
a pint), and immediately under it, by the aid of a spring,
the lamp is stopped, and its Billie boils the water in the
kettle in 20 minutes, thus enabling him to take a cup of
tea or coffee prior to going to work. The bell attached
is so powerful that it awakes his neighbour, and the
machine altogether is of a vary neat appearance, the
mechanism being of polished iron. The inventor has
made it during his leisure hours, and has been about
18 months in bringing it to a state of completion. He
has also combined economy with utility, as the working
of it does not cost more than a halfpenny per week !
