tioned vessel was close off the harbour's mouth on Sun-
day afternoon, but at noon on Monday was considerably
to leeward of the island under close-reefed topsails, with
a signal flying (No. b 6 from Marriatt's Code), Who is
the Admiral at the station ?" either a joke of the soldier
cffieers or a mistake.
The Meteor, French steamer of war, which left Algiers
for Marseilles, put into Malta, in great distress, on the
27th inst. She wP.s laden with invalids.
The Ginges arrived from the Levant on the afternoon
of to-day. The Implacable was also signalled. The
Hydra went out of harbour this morning in sc...T.reh of
wrecks on the coast of Malta. She came in again in
the evening, as the Alecto loft, at half-past 4 o'clock, fur
Marseilks

An absurd rumour was got up, without any foundation,
that the Cornwall transport had gone down, with the bead.
quarters of the 92i Royal Highlanders on board.
When the Alecto, which was the bearer of the India
mails, left Malta, several line-of-battle ships were coming
in from Marmorice Bay—amongst others the Ganges and
Implacable. Admiral Stopford was also expected.
The Oriental steam-ship suffered considerable damage
in her passage from Alexandria to Malta by Lad weather,
having carried away part of her bowsprit. She was four
days and a half making the passage—a day beyond her time.

CHURCH-RATE REFUSED AT
BRADFORD, YORK.

FROM A CoRRESPONDRNIT.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that
towards the close of the year 1839 ao attempt was
made at this place to levy a Church-rate, and the result
of five days' polling was, a majority of near 3,000
against tha rate. On Friday last a similar attempt was
made, contrary, it is supposed, to the expressei.i wishes
of the Vicar and of the more judicious friends of the
establishment. The Churchwardens moved for a r..tc
to the amount of al 6/. 12s. 6d.

An amendment was moved by the Rev. J. Winter-
bottom, Baptist Minister, and seconded by Mr. George
Hanson, stuff-merchant. The Vicar rausing to put
the amendment, the original motion was put and nega-
tived by about four-fifths of those present. Taught
wisdom by experience the pro-rate party declined to
demand a poll. _ _

Wind E.—Freezing Point 32 Deg.
There has been a strong east wind, approaching to a
gale, all last night, with heavy squalls, and this morning
with hazy weather. Though the thermometer is not so low
as it has been this season, the cold is very intense, and
the river is again covered with large masses of floating
ice. The eclipse of the moon, owing to the state of the
weather, was only occasionally sees.
WSNUsox, Fait. 3.—At midnight, on Wednesday, such
was the intensity of the frost that a private of the
60th Rifles, on sentry at the north-oast terrace, close
to the Brunswick Tower, was nearly frozen to death.
On the picket, going their rounds at the Castle, shortly
after twelve o'clock, they discovered the poor fellow
lying oa the around in • state of insensibility. No time
was teat in conveying him to the InTital, where, after the
usual n.eans had been resorted to for his restoration, he
la,•carne sensible, after the expiration of about three quar-
ters of an hour. He has now nearly recovered.

TRIAL OF LORD CARDIGAN.—The Lords'
Committee have made a third Report on this affiir, from
which it appears that 640 seats will be provided, viz., 300
in the body of the House, 36 below the bar, and the re-
mainder in the galleries. Only one ticket is to be delive red
to each Lord, and that on personal application for the seats
reserved for Peeresses, Peers' daughters, strangers, &c.
The Committee has also recommended that " none be
covered at the said trial but the Lords."
THE ROYAL CHRISTENING.—.The Christ-
enng of the Princess Royal is postponed from Wednes-
day next until Tuesday, the 16th instant. His Majesty
the King of the Belgians is not expected to arrive from
Ostend until Wednesday next, and will probably stay a
fortn;ght in this country. Idis on account of the unavoid-
able ab;ens e of his Majesty that has cauAcd the postpone-
ment cf the R ral christening. The Queen has a grand
sinner at Buckingham Palace on \Vicki sday, the party
