PLYMOUTH, OCT. 13.—Her Majesty's ship Howe,
120, Captain Sir James Stirling, with her Majesty
the Queen Dowager, passed down Channel, outside
the Eddystone, yesterday morning at eleven o'clock.
There was a light wind at that time from S.S.E., and
the Howe was steering W. by S. The wind blew
strong from the southward and eastward yesterday
afternoon ; this morning it has veered more to the
eastward and continues strong. In all probability the
Howe will clear the Channel to-day.

The squadron cruising to the southward of Ka'
benda comprises the Actaeon, 26, Captain Maunsell ;
the Contest, 12, Commander McMurdo ; the Ferret,
8, Commander Sprigg ; the Flying Fish, 12, Com-
mander Dyke ; the Heroine, 10, Commander Ed-
munds ; the Ranger, 6, Commander Anderson; the
Rapid, 6, Commander Dixon ; the Sealark, 6, Com'
minder White ; the Waterwitch, 6, Commander
Birch ; and the Styx steam sloop, Commander Chads•
During the present month, as far as our accounts
reach, five captures have been made; two schooners,
empty, by the Hound, in the Bights; one schooner,
empty, by the Ferret, on the south coast; and two
full ones, by the Wanderer and Albatross. The
Wanderer's was a small schooner of 60 tons, with
57 slaves on board, captured on her passage to Ka'
benda. The Albatross' prize was a large schooner
of upwards of 200 tons, and containing 608 slaves,
captured off Lagos. All the vessels have been sent
to Sierra Leone, and are in course of condemnation.
Some doubts are raised about the legality of the
Hound's prizes. On the voyage from the Bight to
Sierra Leone the Albatross and prize were so unfor.
tunate as to lose no less than 108 out of
the 608 miserable negroes on board, in 6
passage of only fourteen days. In this rich
prize the Grappler shares, as she just hove in sight
as the Albatross was taking possession. Our recent
accounts from the Bights and the south coast state
the slave trade is greatly on the increase. To the
northward not a slaver is to be seen.
Sierra Leone was very unhealthy. Mr. Gross,
master's assistant of the Waterwitch, who had gone
thither in a prize belonging to that vessel, had died
there of fever. The Growler steamer had arrived
there on the 11th of July, and had sailed for Jamaica
with 480 liberated Africans on board. The Dart, 11,
Lieutenant Glyn, did not arrive there till the sth
instant, when, having watered and provisioned, she
came on here, arriving on the 25th instant; she milk'd
hence on the 6th for Kabenda, to fall in with the
Commodore, taking Commander Dixon to join the
Rapid, and Lieutenant Fisher to join the Ferret.
With the exception of the Wanderer and Kingfishert
which vessels continue sickly, the squadron are
healthy. A convalescent hospititl and a large store'
house are to be erected here, and convict labour, it is
stated, is to supersede that of the Marines ; the e%'
change, we apprehend, would be an immense saviei
to Government.

faint idea of the past scarcity of money way be ente_ir

six Dukes,-four Marquisses, as many Earls, and Olt;
Barons, all of whom we learn intended to send to 41'
Shakspere fund certain sums, varying from 501. to 20014
have, up to the present moment, not sent a single Sisl;

better account of the money-market.—Punch.
