PROVISIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES.— The
Patricli'llenrv, Malabar, and Mars, from New York; Ara-
bella, from Philadelphia ; Leland, from Charleston ; and
Franklin'and Swatara, from New Orleans, which were re-
ported at Liverpool on the 28th inst., bring 19,780 barrels
flour, 6,276 sacks, 1,585 quarters, and 10,000 bushels Indian
cern, 3,640 barrels Indian corn meal, 340 packages of bis-
cuit, and 16,160 bushels paddy.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—We have been favoured
(says the Dundee Adreitiser) with the following excerpt of a
letter from Mr. James Bremner, civil engineer, Wick, to a
gentleman in this
,quarter:—" I left the Great Britain in
charge of Captain Claxton, .the managing director, who is
stuffing her larboard quarter with fagots, brushwood, sand
bags, and chains and bolts, &c. It is Mr. Brunel's plan, and
I am not sure of its effects; but I hope there will be no dan-
ger of her until April, when I expect to commence operations
to raise her. She has quarried down six feet of the solid
rock, and turned up like a plough forward. There are four
feet of sand above the rock—in all, ten to ten and a half feet.
She must be raised thirteen feet perpendicular height, and
then her bottom patched, launched, and taken probably to
Liverpool; but, if possible, to Bristol, by two steamers. The
sand now in ber, which the water is over, will make her
fully 300 tons weight, so that you see the lift will be no
joke."
Sir George Hamilton Seymour, the newly-ap-
pointed Minister from the British to the Portuguese Court,
will pro‘ceed with his family and suite to Lisbon in her
Majesty's steam-sloop 3ledea. The vessel is ordered to be
fitted for the reception of his Excellency, on bar return to
Woolwich, from Freshwater, Isle of Wight, to which place
she proceeded on Thursday with the body of her late com-
mander, Graham Eden W. Hamond, for interment in the
family
,mausoleum.
CONVICT ESTABLISHMENTS AT WOOLVVICII.—It is
intended to appoint an additional chaplain, a schoolmaster,
and schoolmaster's assistant, in connexion with the hulks at
Woolwich, for the reception of this unfortunate class, 200 of
whom were received this week on board the Warrior ship,
making the total number now on board 484. Several of the
convicts, who assisted in extinguishing the late fire by the
spontaneous combustion of coals in the Woolwich Dockyard,
have been 'pardoned, and twelve more are under considera-
tion, having been recommended to be pardoned for their
exertions on that occasion, and for their general good con-
duct. A very excellent regulation has recently been intro-
duced, previous to the pardoning of convicts who have con-
ducted themselves in a manner to deserve recommendation,
zhich prevents their being returned to their native places
3 outca.sts, or thrown upon the world without means of em-
ployment. A Printed form is sent to the family or friends of
the convict, to be filled up by them, to ascertain what are his
prospects it l` berated, and the following queries are put to be
tilled up by the

TRADER.--
THE DUKE OF SOTONIAToR A FREE.
advocate
It is said that the Duke "Duringy is a staunch
cf free-trade principles. the late cliscit
sugar duties, the Duke laboured hard for the caliTeninOSnpt"
in memorialising for the right of adinision of Cuba and Poarlit Rico sugar on the same terms as that of other countris, i°
which his views were strongly supported by Lord Palmer-
tstoa. On the late occasion of the Cobden festival in Spain,
be also explained himself adverse to restrictions in commerce.
Coder these circumstances there is more hope of a favourable
treaty of commerce between this country and Spain than at
any other period, if the Duke. of Sotoni_
the ,
ayorcan onlyt main-
taini his position long enough to inoculate or es with
the same spirit of liberalism towards Great Britain.
ROME.—A meeting composed of English and Irish
was held on the 13th at Rome, for forming a committee for
the relief of Ireland. Subscriptions are received by Mr.
Pakenhant, and all the other English bankers. The Pope
Las sent to the committee 7,000 Roman crowns from his privy I
VDU.
