THE RIVER PLATE.

-
The following memorial from the leading mer-
chants connected with the trade of the River Plate
has been presented to Viscount Palmerston on the
subject of the blockade of Buenos Ayres :
" London, Oct. 18.
"My Lord,—As parties deeply interested in the
trade of the River Plate, we respectfully beg leave to
offer to your Lordship a few remarks upon the block
ade in that river, which, though discontinued by the
British naval forces, is continued by those of France.
"Concerning this blockade, Mr. W. A. Harris,
United States' Minister at Buenos Ayres, writes, in
a dispatch to Lord Howden, dated Ist July, 1847, as
follows :—'The blockade has not answered in any one
respect whatever the end for which it ostensibly was
laid on. Its principal tendency
has been to molest and
irritate those whom it was intended to reduce by co
erdion. Another practical effect of it has been, that
whilst it destroyed all legal and open commerce, it
made necessary a sort of spurious traffic through the
medium of the port of Monte Video, obliging pay-
ment of a double import and export duty, which has
been levied for the support of the anomalous Govern-
ment in that city. Nevertheless, the principal benefit
of this system has not fallen to the Governments of
England and France, nor even to the subjects in ge-
neral of those Governments, but openly, and noto-
riously to the advantage of a'few persons in that city,
and a still smaller number in this.
" Further on, in the same dispatch, Mr. Harris
states that from the 23d of February,
1846, to the
end of May, 1847, the number of vessels which
entered and left the port of Buenos Ayres was 4,012.
I obtain this result (he says) from an examination of
the monthly returns which have been presented to
this legation. It is true that almost all these were
small vessels, many of which arrived and sailed at
night ; but it is also true that a great number of them,
perhaps half, did so at mid-day, and in sight of the
blockading forces, without any serious attempt at
detaining them. All those vessels, however, paid
tribute at the port of Monte Video for the produce, or
merchandize of which their cargoes were composed,
as I have said above:
" Lord Howden, also, in a dispatch to Commodore
Sir Thomas Herbert, dated July 15, 1847, writes
concerning the blockade as follows
" As I consider, first, that the orientals of Monte
Video are not at this moment free agents, but entirely
controlled by a foreign garrison; and secondly, that
the blockade having entirely lost its original character
of a coercive measure against General Rosas, has
ling with
and partly
with money,
partlybecom etheexGcluovsievrenlmy
Government
anmt
of.odeAoifosnutpeplyviind
certain foreign individuals there, to the continued
detriment of the extensive and valuable commerce of
England in these waters; I hereby request you, Sir,
to raise the blockade of both sides of the River Plate,
and to take the measures necessary for ceasing all
further intervention in these waters.'
" To further elucidate the character of this (so-
called) blockade we remark
" 1. That of the 4,012 vessels mentioned by Mr.
Harris not one was British.
" 2. That all of them had one and the same port of
destination or departure, viz., Monte Video, and all
paid tribute there. If there be any exceptions, they
are two few to merit notice.
" 3. That the effect of the (so-called) blockade has
thus not been to deprive Buenos Ayres of its trade,
but merely to restrict it from trading with any other
place but Monte Video.
" 4. That the British flag has been deprived of any
portion of even this trade.
" 5. That 4,012 vessels could not have left or en-
tered Monte Video without the authorities of that
port knowing well whither they had gone or whence
they came; and yet,
"6. That it is at the instigation of those same
anthorities (owing to their refusal of the armistice)
that the French have continued the blockade.
" 7. That the Custom-house of Moute Video is
farmed by individuals, and that its receipts in 1846
amounted to about 330,0001. sterling, according to
the accounts published in the Monte Video journals.
" In stating these facts we have aimed at brevity of
expression, not from disrespect, but to spare your
Lordship's valuable time.
" They will suffice, we apprehend, to show that
the so-called blockade is in reality no blockade, but
a mere sham, with a twofold object :—viz., to enrich
the persons who have farmed the Custom dime ; and
to supply the Government of Monte Video (described
by Lord Howden, in the dspatch above quoted, as
without money, without credit, and without native
troops') with means for maintaining the foreign gar-
rison. Nor is at all likely to be made effective for
the future, for an effective blockade, by depriving
Monte Video of its present illicit traffic, would de-
stroy its revenue, and would be no better to them
than no blockade.

The Premiums are on the most moderate scale consistent with per-
fect security ; while
The Profits are wholly divisable among the assured, on a princi-
ple at once safe, equitable, and favourable to good lives ; being re-
served for those Members whose paid-up Premiums, with accumu-
lated Interest, amount to the sum assured by their Policies. By
this principle, a surplus, comparatively small in itself, may yield a
very considerable bonus to those who live to share in it. The mo-
derate rate of Premium, as com?ared with most of the other mutual
offices—equivalent, at early and middle ages, to a bonus of 201. or 254
per cent. from the commencement—is a compensating advantage to
those who do not live to participate in the surplus.

At 31st December, 1845, it was ascertained, on investigation, that
the Surplus Fund amounted to upwards of 614,0001., and it was suffi-
cient to enable the Directors, after setting aside upwards of 204,0001.
as a Guarantee Fund, to declare and provide for the following
additions :

I. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum for the
period from 31st December, 1838, •n the accumulated amount of the
original sums assured, and the previously declared additions; being,
in the case of early insurances, upwards of THREE PER CENT.
PER ANNUM of BONUS on the original Gum Insured. And in
order to provide for the case of those parties who may die before
31st December, 1852, when the next investigation and declaration of
Surplus is made, there was provided farther,
11. In addition to the rate of Two per Cent. per 'Annum on the
accumulated amount of the original Assurances, and previously de-
clared additions, for each Premium that may be 'paid after 31st
December, 1845, provided the party die before 31st December, 1852
(having been insured at least five years), this addition, supposing the
case of a party insured in the early years of the Society's existence,
to die after payment of the premium for the year 1852, would be for
the seven years from 31st December, 1845, to 31st December, 1852,
upwards of 25 per cent. on the original Assurance : or at the rate of
upwards of THREE AND A HALF PER CENT. PER ANNUM

riIHE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES
11 The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three,
With the truth of this version you all will agree ;
Now September's set in, most nobly we'll strive,
To keep the old custom of shooting alive.
The game is abundant, the weather is clear,
Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear;
But sportsman, before you depart for the fun,
Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gan,
The first in the leld L. HYAM now stands,
For his " P.Aletot Shooting.coat," known in all lands ;
Enveloped in these, it soon will be found,
That the wind and the rain fall powerless around.
For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got,
Just wear one—you soon wil be reckoned a "shot."
Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well,
One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel
For that is the cause why the journals express
Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress.
Fulfil then your wishes—you pleasures complete,
By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street.
The stock is unvaried, you can't lack success,
In equipping yourself in a " good Shooting Dress."

have taken arms for the defence of the existing Go-
vernment of that republic against General Oribe, and
have left nothing undone to compromise the national
flag in this cause, thus arrogating to themselves the
right of peace and war, which . belongs to the King
alone. We have combated this claim, as it was our
duty to do. The King's consul at Monte Video has
energetically defended the principle of the neutrality
of foreigners.
" The French Legion, however, have not laid down
their arm, and this unexpected resolution of a part of
the foreign residents, has prolonged the resistance of
the city. At present that resistance no longer appears
on the point of terminating. The state of war is
maintained, and with it all the injuries which may
result therefrom to the interests of those foreigners
who have remained neuter. Commerce is interupted
by land and sea ; the city of Monte Video has been
in a state of blockade for nearly two years ; and the
country is ravaged by the excursions of the two
armies. This state of things calls for a prompt ter-
mination, if we do not wish to allow the consumma-
tion of the ruin of those French who have remained
faithful to their duty, and who urgently entreat our
protection in the unfortunate and perilous situation in
which the obstinate blindness of a part of their fellow-
countrymen has so much contributed to plunge them."

" I have now for twelve years conducted the Exeter Bygetan Dis-

treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
hundreds), that the Ilygeian eystem is founded in truth. The cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that
patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Ilygeian medicines.
The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my

ROWLAND'S ALSANA EXTRACT.
For the the Toothache and Gum Boils, and for eradicating
all disorders of the Teeth and Gums. In the anguish of excrutiating
Pain it affords instantaneous relief, while its frequent use will be
found to strengthen the gums, and fortify the Teeth against future
attacks. It totally exterminates scurvy, restores the Gums to the
fullness of health, and by endowing them with additional firmness of
adhesion, it firmly fixes and roots the Teeth in their sockets. It era-
dcates unpleasant taste and injurious secretion from the mouth, and
repels the approach of incipient decay. It is perfectly innocent, and
is also an excellent stomachic in cases of flatulency and depression of
spirits. This invaluable specific has been held in high estimation for
many years, and is under the sanction of the first physicians. Price

magistrates, Messrs. Joshua Ingham and J. B. Green.
wood, were holding a petty sessions at the Court-house,
information was communicated which induced them to
place in the hands of Mr. Green a search warrant for
immediate execution, which he at once proceeded to
effect on the premises, at Birstal (a small but some-
what populous town, about four miles from Dewsbury),

tunnel, and other railway works now in progress in that
locality. The magistrates, however, soon made him
sensible that he had committed a great crime by placing
in jeopardy the lives of from 4,000 to 5,000 inhabitants,
as well as the ruin of property which a single spark from
a cracker, or a squib, or from a candle (fireworks being
very common at this season of the year), would .have

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.--Incidents
arisen during the past fortnight in several localities '
in a neighbouring county, if not attended with dratnatic
at least with amusing effect. We have heard of men
hoarding up money in "crocks" and old "stockings,"
which were considered much safer than in banks ; but
seldom have we heard of even the miser committing such
ludicrous mistakes as the following:—A few days since
a gentleman was waited upon by a tenant to pay a por-
tion of a year's rent (251.), and, after a long address, in
which he set forth the loss of the potato, perhaps the
embarrassments consequent on the unsoundness of the
monetary system, and so forth, he concluded by stating
that " all in the world he could scrape up," amongst
even his neighbours, was a 101. note, which he very re-
spectfully deposited on the landlord's table. The land-
lord (one, by the way, who expended every shilling he
was worth during the last season) took the note ; but,
on a closer scrutiny, he discovered that it was neither
less nor more than a 50/. note ; and, having prudently
deposited it in his desk, he handed the astonished owner
of the treasure the balance, 25t, at the same time com-
plimenting him for his prudent care and punctuality.—

" Out of the foregoing reflections naturally arise
as to the views and attitude of France in this question.
No one doubts that if there had been on her part the
' same desire as on the part of this country to have it
settled, it would have been settled. Of the foreign
garrison,' which (according to Lord Howden), con-
trols the native population, the bulk are French.
Though the French Government may have spoken
harshly of these men, yet the French agents do not
disccurage them. For proof of both assertions we
refer to M. Guizot's dispatch to Connt St. Aulaire,
and Count Walewski's answer to an address from the
French Legion, of which we annex copies.*
" The allusion in the latter document to the flag
deserves a line of explanation. Some years ago the
French Government ordered the French legionaries
to desist from taking a part in the war, and to lay
down their arms. After making all sorts of diffi-
culties they hit upon the following expedient. They
laid down their arms as French subjects, were made
on the instant Oriental citizens, and took them up
again. The French Government appears to have
been satisfied with this mode of complying with their
order. It seems that the legionaries now wish to
have their flag and nationality restored to them, and
it would be rash to say that their petition, though
discouraged by Count Walewski, will not be granted.
" We have stated facts to your Lordship, but it is
not for us to draw conclusions, nor to expatiate upon
the importauce of the port of Monte Video, both as
the key of the River Plate, and from its position in
relation to other places. At present it may be said
to be in the hands of a French garrison, though not
under the French flag.
"It remains for us shortly to advert to the hard-
ship of this state of things upon the merchants con-
nected—some of them for nearly forty years—with
the River Plate. The blockade is now of more than
two years' standing. For so long a period has the
trade between this country and the Argentine
republic been sacrificed. A customer has been turned
away who would have taken off 1,500,000/. sterling
worth of our manufactures. All that time produce
of a perishable nature, the returns for exports of
former years, has been lying there deteriorating.
The cost of evading the blockade, despite its laxness,
was too great for bulky produce to bear. There was
the heavy freight to Monte Video, the heavy charges
for landing there and reshipping, and the heavy tri-
bute exacted by the Monte Video Custom-house,
which have been known to amount together, in some
instances, to 40 per cent. on first cost. Again there
was the risk of sea damage in craft not intended for
such a voyage, and the uncertainty as to the views
of the blockaders, as the laxness of to-day might,
from caprice or spite, be turned into severity to-
morrow. Moreover, merchants who all their lives
have been accustomed to an open trade under the
British flag, do not at once become reconciled to, or
handy at, a blockade, running, half-smugglit.g
traffic. From these causes, therefore, it arises that
there is still a large amount of produce belonging to
French. British subjects remaining at Buenos Ayres, the loss
of which to its owners must be ruinous if the port be
not soon opened.
"We have a proof of your Lordship's anxiety
to
remedy the evil in the raising the bockade on the part
of the British forces, but to make that step effectual it
requires to be followed by the
at

property, in case even of the port being opened, we
should feel highly indebted for any information which
your Lordship may feel at liberty to give us on the
subject, and remain respectfully, my Lord, your Lord-

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. Cl.'s

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
Irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair laxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
n the crown of the head ; if v,•ry bad, repeat it every quarter of a■

air oil children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infante
cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

DEPARTURE of the GOVERNOR.

GENERAL OF INDIA.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.--The Earl of Dalhousie,
the newly-appointed Governor-General of India, ar-
rived at this port this afternoon, at fifty minutes past
twelve o'clock, by express train of the South-Western
Railway, to embark in her Majesty's steam-frigate
Sidon, 18 guns, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8.,
for Alexandria, en route overland to the seat of his
government.

- The distinguished party comprised the Earl and
Countess Dalhousie, the Marchioness of Douro, the
Right Hon. Fox Maule (Secretary-at-War), Captain
O'Brien (formerly of the Board of Trade), Mr. Wat-
son, Mr. Laurentz Campbell (secretary of the South-
Western Railway Company), who also served with
Lord Dalhousie in the Board of Trade, &c.
The train left Nine-elms at the usual hour, a
quarter past ten o'clock, but the feed pipe of the engine
having blown out on the journey, the time of its
arrival here was prolonged for some minntes. Lord
George Lennox, Captain Yates, of the Victory, and
Mr. Cochrane, R.N., the Commander-in-Chief's
Flag-Lieutenant, received the Governor-General and
suite on their arrival at the Gosport station, and
ushered them into the Clarence-yard, where Rear•
Admiral Superintendent Sherriff, Captain Super-
intendent Sir W. E. Parry, and Captain Bruce, of
her Majesty's ship Trafalgar (who goes out in the
Sidon to take the command of that ship), were
in waiting to escort them to the Commander-in-
Chief's barge, in which having immediately embarke3,
they were put on board the Lightning steam-tender,
which conveyed them out to Spithead, where the
Sidon lay with steam up, and all ready.
Captain Henderson received his distinguished
charge under a salute of seventeen guns and manned
yards, and at three P.M. left the anchorage for
Alexandria.

THR ARCHBISHOPRIC or YORK.—A rumour pre-
vails very generally amongst the clergy that either the
Bishop of Durham or the Bishop of Norwich will be
raised to the Archbishopric of York. In the event of
the Bishop of Durham being promoted to the Arch-
bishopric, the translation of one of the existing bishops
to the diocese of Durham is more than probable; but
i❑ the event of the Bishop of Norwich being elevated to
the dignity, some clergyman not at present on the bench
will be consecrated to his see. The new Bishop of Dur-
ham, whoever he may be, will be entitled to a seat in the
House of Lords, but the new Bishop of Norwich, if that
see should become vacant, or indeed any other see that
may be vacated in consequence of a translation, will not
render its possessor a spiritual Peer, inasmuch as the new
Bishop of Manchester will have a prior claim. The Act
for the establishment of the Bishop of Manchester provides
for this in the following terms:—" And be it enacted that
the number of Lords spiritual now sitting and voting
as Lords of Parliament shall not be increased by the
creation of the Bishopric of Manchester ; and whenever
there shall be a vacancy amongst the Lords spiritual by
the avoidance of any one of the sees of Canterbury,
York, London, Durham, or Winchester, or of any other
see which shall be filled by the translation thereto from
any other see of a Bishop at that time actually sitting as
a Lord of Parliament, such vacancy shall be supplied by
the issue of a writ of summons to the Bishop who shall
be elected to the same see; but if such vacancy be caused
by avoidance of any other see in England or Wales, such
vacancy shall be supplied by the issue of a writ of sum-
mons to that Bishop of a see in England or Wales who
shall not have previously become entitled to such writ;
and no Bishop who shall be hereafter elected to any see
in England or Wales, not being one of the five sees
above-named, shall be entitled to have a writ of summons
unless in the order and according to the conditions above
proscribed."

MYSTERIOUS DDATII DT ARSENIC.—Mr. Wakley,
M.P., at an inquest held in Clerkenwell, said that he
had held another lately, not as yet concluded, on the
body of an Irish foreman of paviours, named Patrick
Manning, aged 64. On Saturday week, whilst at his
work, his wife brought him his breakfast, which he ate,
and in a few minutes afterwards he was seized with
spasmodic pains of the stomach. lie worked for some
time, when he dropped down. His comrades took him
to Middlesex Hospital, but he expired on the way. Mr.
Wakley ordered a post mor tem examination, to which
the wife of deceased, in appearance a very notable per-
son, strongly objected, more it is at present thought
through prejudice than from guilty fear. The result of
the examination, made by Mr. Corfe of the hospital, is
that arsenic was found in the stomach of deceased.
The inquiry stands adjourned, to trace how or by what
means the poison was administered.
THE DIAMOND STEAM-PACKET COMPANT.-011
Wednesday the annual general Court of Proprietors of
the Gravesend and Milton Steam-Packet Company was
held at the Town-hall, Gravesend, for receiving the
auditors' report, the election of directors, and other
annual business. Mr. Warren was called to the chair.
From the auditors' report, it appeared that the earnings
of the packets together with other receipts, for the past
year, amounted to 24,6821. Bs. ld., and after making the
usual disbursements, the profits shown on the balance-
sheet for that period amounted to 873/. Iss. B€l. The
assets were 42,8681., and the liabilities 44,209/. A warm
debate followed, many of the shareholders murmuring
at the small amount of profit on such a large return,
observing that in former years the profit accruing from
a similar return was 3,0001., and they wished the Chair-
man to explain how it was that such a small amount of
profit was exhibited. The Chairman said it arose from
the low fares at which the packets had been running,
together with the large amount of pier dues paid by the
company. For his own part, he never had advocated
cheap fares. A long discussion ensued, and it was ulti-
mately resolved that a committee of nine be appointed,
and that they bring up a report to lay before the share-
holders at another meeting. The meeting was then
adjourned for a few weeks, the election of directors being ,
deferred until such meeting should be held.
LORD BURY V. CLARK.—The deputation, whose
names we mentioned in a previous publication, waited on
the Lord Chancellor and presented to him the memorial
agreed to, in respect to the decision given by the Judge
of the Westminster County Court, in this case. His
Lordship received the memorial, which he said he would
carefully consider.

DESTROYERS Or BRITISH Suirs.—A friend writes
us from India, that in the dockyard of Bombay is to be
seen a new ship of the line, entirely destroyed by an
invisible army of white ants, who have riddled every
timber to bur+ an extent that they will scarcely hold
together. What will not united and repeated efforts
effect?--Builder.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, Nov. I.—lt is now as currently reported
that the fleet will put to sea on their short winter
cruise, as last week it was reported they would not.
Thursday is the day now said to be appointed, but so
much mystery pervades as to render it impossible for
any one to ascertain the important fact.
The following promotions have taken place in con-
sequence of the vacancy occasioned by the decease, of
Captain Willes. Commander Robert Tryon, of the
Mutine, to he Captain ; Lieutenant John J. Palmer,
of the Gladiator steam-frigate, to be Commander ;
William Bowden, Acting Mate of the Hibernia, to be
Lieutenant; William R. Adair, Acting Mate of the
Hibernia, to be Lieutenant, vice Lieutenant Thomas
11. Molyneux, of the Spartan, deceased.
One of those bursts of general indignation, which
especially on board her Majesty's ships, is seldom dis-
played, took place last night (Sunday) on board the
Superb, 80, Captain Corry.
It would appear that on the preceding evening, on
going his rounds, the Commander (Wilmot) observed
the deck of the ship dirty from the spitting of the
men, and as spittoons were plentifully supplied to
them, the filth was thought to be made on purpose,
and the smoking was ordered to be stopped. On
Sunday, as the men were beginning to smoke, they
were ordered by an officer to put out their pipes.
This was done by many, but immediately a frightful
howl sprang up, and in a few minutes was repeated.
The next proceeding on the part of the men was to
extinguish the lights, and then they commenced
breaking the crockery belonging to their messes, and
strewing the decks with the fragments. Shots were
then rolled about, the gangway ladders removed, and
a heavy 601 b. shot was thrown from the main to the
lower deck, nearly striking a midshipman on duty.
In the meantime the commander and his officers
appeared, and were !welcomed with a shower of
crockery. Orders were given to the marines to get
under arms and clear the decks, and shortly after-
wards every man was on the quarter-deck.
Here the commander ordered the marines (who
wore their side arms only) to run any man through
who did not obey his orders, and this order was re-
peated more than once, the commander taking on
himself, as he declared, all the responsibilities of the
act.

In a few minutes the port watch was piped below
by the boatswain and his mates, to clear away the
rubbish, and shortly after the cooks of messes, to as-
certain the damage that was done. Many of the
watch went to their duty, and several remained
sulking on the deck. Reflection came to their aid,
and when they, some time after, wanted to return to
their duty, they were not allowed. Ultimately,
several men were put in irons ; the sentries were
doubled ; the side arms, cutlasses, and bayonets, were
removed to a place of security, and by ten o'clock all
was quiet.
Nothing could exceed the coolness of Commander
Wilmot during the whole period of the row ; his
orders were given clearly and distinctly, and instantly
obeyed by his officers ; and the effects of discipline
(though momentarily set at defiance) were beautifully
displayed, when one firm man could send 700 of his
fellows to their duty.
Captain Corry was not on board when the emote
took place, nor was the First Lieutenant Bunce.
On the following morning the men were assembled
on the quarterdeck, when they were addressed by the
captain. He said he had sent for them on account of
the disgraceful events of last night. On leaving his
ship at 9 A.m., he did so with the pride of a man who
had the command of as fine a set of lads as could be
picked up. What were his feelings on returning on
board at 9r. e., twelve hours after ? If he could but
find out the fellow who threw his basin at the com-

mander, he would not be satisfied till he had brought
him to a court-martial, and seen him swinging at the
yard-arm. He concluded by observing, that if any
more filth were made about the decks, he would
stop their smoking for a time ; if it occurred a
second time, he would stop the issue of tobacco, for
that was not a slop like others which men were en-
titled to have issued—the issue of tobacco was a matter
of favour.

About ten men, or at most twelve, are in irons, and
will probably be brought to a court-martial in a few
days.

PORTSMOUTH, TH URSDAT.—The Sidon steam-
frigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., sailed this
afternoon for Alexandria, with the newly -appoints d
Governor General of India (Earl Dalhousie) and suit•
on board.

The Racer, 16, Commander A. Reed, arrived this
morning from the River Plata. Her dates are Buem $
Ayres, Sept. Ist; Monte Video, Sept. sth; and Rio,
Sept. 23d. She brings no news of political interest
later than that brought by the Castor. She sailed
this evening for Plymouth to be paid off.
The Asia, 84, Captain R. F. Stopford, intended for
the flag of Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., to
command in chief in the Pacific, arrived at St. Helen's
last night, and came to Spithead this morning, after a
lazy passage of about ten days from Sheerness. It
would be as well if a tug were attached to each port
for the purpose of towing into port all vessels of war
detained on their passage by contrary winds, or such
like hindrance, as is the practice with the merchant
navy. The Asia is wanted to go out at once, and now
she has lost upwards of a week of her fitting time in
coming from Sheerness here.
The Terrible has been floated off again without
accomplishing the end for which she was grounded,
and it is now in contemplation to dock her in the
large dock where the Firefly is. For this purpose
the Prince Regent, 90, and Retribution steam- '
frigate, must be removed from the basin, and the basin
itself drained after she is docked, if docked she can
be at all, for that is very doubtful. Her paddle-
