NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE COA ST OF AFRICA SQiiiIiRON.
POIir,NOUTH, Tuesime.—The Sealark, 8. Ceere.
mender White, arrived this morning from the west
coast of Africa, whereon she has been employed dur-
ing the last three years and nine months in the slave
trade suppression duty. She Las come from Kabencla
direst to Spithead. On the passage home she took a
slaver, a Brazilian brigantine, called the Libre, with
189 slaves on board. She sent the vessel to Sierra
Leone for adjudication, but brought 16 of her crew
to Spithead. She has made five captures during the
last 12 months. The Sealark hes been generally
healthy, having only io..t 11 men by sickness. Out
of 17 officers and werrent•officers who left Englaied
in the vessel, only four (' he first lieutenant, now the
commander; the paymaster and the purser, Mr.
S'nambler ; the clerk, Mr. Freshfield ; and the master's
as•istent, Mr. Wayth) have returned in her. Mr.
J. G. Starr; purser of the Rapid, and Mr. Read, sur-
geon of the Acqeon, have come home passengers in
her invalided. The squadron was thus distributed
when the Sealark left Kabenda :
In Harbour at Ascension—The Tortoise, 12, guard
ship, Captain Frederick Hutton, and the Pilot, 16,
Commander George K. Wilson.
In the Bights of Benin—The Bittern, 16, Com•
wander Thomas Hope ; the Albatross, 16, Com-
mander W. Farquhar; the Hound, 10, Commander
Granville Wood; the Kingfi,her, 12, CommanderW.
Horton; the Waterwitch, 10, Commander T. Birch;
the Contest, 12, Commander A. Rlacmurdo ; the
Devastation steamer, Commander R. T. Levinge;
and the Grappler steamer, Lieutenant T. H. Lysaght.
At Kabenda—The Wanderer, 16, Commander E.
J-lontressor ; the Philomel, 10, Commander W. Wood;
and the Penelope steam-frigate, with the flag of
Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, the Commander-in-
Chief.
At Benguela—The Actxon, 26, Captain G. Maun-
sel ; the Flyingfish, 12, Commander P. H. Dyke ;
the Ferret, 10, Commander George Sprigg ; the
Heroine, 10, Commander Charles Edmunds; the
Ranger, 10, Commander J. Anderson ; the Rapid, 10,
Commander E. Dixon ; the Sealark, 10, Lieutenant
R. D. White ; and the Styx steamer, Commander 11.
Chads.
At Cape Mount—The Siren, 16, Commander Thos.
Chaloner; and the Favourite, 18, Commander Alex-
ander Murray.
At Sierra Leone and the Gambia—The Mariner,
16, Commander C. Matthison; and the Rolla, 10,
Commander H. M. Ellicombe.
The Mariner, 16, arrived from England on the
21st of May, remained here till the 23d of June,
when she sailed for Sierra Leone, taking invalids for
a passage to England by the Prometheus, ordered
home from this station.
The Wanderer, 16, arrived from Sierra Leone on
the 21st of June, again sickly. She sent 22 men to
the hospital, one of whom (Carter) has since died,
and sailed on the 24th of June for Kabenda, with
stores and provisions for the squadron on that division
of the station.
The Penelope steam•frigate, with the Commodore,
sailed on the 28th of June for the same place. She
is to cruise there for a short time, and afterwards
proceed to St. Helena.
The Kingfisher, 12, arrived from Sierra Leone
on the 2.1 of .June, and having refitted, sailed on
the 9th for her station in the Bights, taking stores
and provisions for the ships there. On leaving she
had from 20 to 30 on her sick-list from slight fever.
The Agincourt, 72, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Cochrane, put in here on the 3d of June from China,
and sailed on the 4th for England.
The Phi:olnel, 10, arrived from England en the
10th of Juiy, and sailed on the 12th to fall in with
the Commodore at Kabenda. On coining out she
touched at Sin Nicolas and Sierra Leone.
The Emily freight ship, Harvey master, arrived
front th-ptford on the 26th of July, having had a
long and tedious voyage of ninety-nine days. She
brought Captain Dixon to join the Rapid.
The Pilot, 16, arrived on the 7th at ascension from
the East Indies, having touched at St. Helena, whence
she brings prizes, officers, and crews belonging to the
tfolobuen de a
rarrinl
wdon Devastation.
briskly
on The slave
the
coast,
a r
yon
the Kabenda and Benguela divisions, where we are
every arrival hearing of captures having been made
- by our cruisers. The Rapid, Devastation, and Hound
have each taken a prize within the last month, empty
- however ; but the Waterwitch captured a very fine
vessel, with 417 slaves on hoard, the month previous.
tu Of all, the must fortunate has been the Kingfisher,
• who has seldom had an empty prize. Off Ambrize
she lately captured a fine barque of 300 or 400 tons,
completely fitted for the abominable traffic, but which
being leaky, she destroyed. In blowing her up the
gunner's mate, a most valuable man, lost his life.
Shortly before this the Kingfisher captured a small
schooner, of not more than 60 tons, with 300 young
Ice' slaves on board; and, immediately after this, a
smaller vessel of 40 tons, with 200 slaves on board,
which she was obliged also to destroy on account
of the perfectly unseaworthy state she was in.
The slaves she brought on here in May, and after-
wards sailed with them for Sierra Leone. She has
now her station in the Bights. The Siren was for-
tunate enough to take a fine brig of upwards of 200
tons off Cape Mount in May last; she was empty,
but completely fitted up for carrying slaves. Captures
on that division are now comparatively rare, but to
the southward of the Line the slave trade is carried
on more extensively, and under circumstances of
greater atrocity than ever were known before. Our
own little island is, as usual, healthy.
The Philomel, 10, Commander W. C. Wood, was
cruising, and the Growler steam-vessel, Commander
IPotbury, was embarking free negro emigrants.
IThe Sealark reports the squadron healthy, but
the slave trade decidedly on the increase. A great
number of cargoes were successfully delivered last
summer. The Sealark's officers and crew have not
received any letters, or other news from England
for nine months. She has brought letters from the
following vessels only :—The Penelope, Actaeon, He-
roine, Rapid, and Waterwitch, and dispatches from
the Commodore for the Admiralty. For the last
three weeks she has been dreadfully short of provi-
sions—so short, indeed, that they had remained at sea a
few days longer, and without falling in with any sup-
plies, the result would have been serious.
The Frolic, 16, was undocked to-day, to make
room for the Seaflower cutter, Commander Henry
Dumaresq, and the Kite steamer, Master-Com-
manding George Filmer, which were immediately
docked in her room.

INDIGO.—The quarterly sale is fixed for the 12th
Ootober, and the quantity that will be ( ffcred is ex-
pected to he large, amounting to 16,000 chests ; at
present
14,292 chests are declared. East India of all de-
scriptione met with little ettention from exporters or the
home trade, although there are sellers rather under the
July sale ; prices are not expected to be much larger,
as the stock is smaller than it was in the past season;
the deliveries are larger, the importation smaller, and
prices lower. Spanish is little required, and the limited
business done privately was at barely former rates ; at
auction 120 serons Guatemala sold at 2a 6d to 3s 4d for
mid to gond.
Ou.s.—The arrivals of Fish Oils have increased since
our last report, and the demand not having been so good,
there is less firmess on the part of holders. Seal is
offered upon rather lower terms, but without meeting
with much attention, and for pale 271. 10s. to 28/. have
been accepted ; at auction 40 tuns were sold. Cod has
been operated in with caution at 27/. ss. to 2715. 10s. and
holders are inclined to sell, although a small stock, but
it will be much larger ere long. Southern met with
little attention, and low to middling quality can be ob-
tained at 241 lOs to 25/, good to fine 251 lOs to 261105,
and there is a fair quantity on offer. Sperm, however,
has been in good request, but prices do not improve,
although the supply is less plentiful; none has been
offered at auction, but 100 tuns Southern and 40 tuns
Sperm are declared for Friday. Although further re-
duced rates have been accepted for Linseed Oil, still
exporters have only taken trifling parcels, whilst the
home demand has been limited. The purchases made
for forward delivery have been of little moment, al-
though at 26s to 26s 6d there are sellers; prices are,
however, not expected to be much lower on account of
the large consumption. In Rape Seed Oil sales to a fair
extent have been made. Palm met with greater atten-
tion, but prices cannot be quoted higher; and privately
many parcels have been sold, 33s to 36s paid for fair to
fine quality; but the stock is on the increase. Cocoa
Nut is much wanted, and, owing to the small supply,
buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced
rates ; at auction 25 hhds Ceylon sold at 58s to 60s 9d,
anti 40 puns repacked Cochin at 50s 6d to 51s 3d. In
Olive large purchases have been made, whilst on the part
of holders there is firmness. Lard Oil is little wanted,
and can be obtained at 43a to 48s per cwt. African
Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale at 38i to 395.
TALLOW.—The trade continue to purchase Russian
with caution on the spot, and to take only sufficient for
their present wants; prices keep on the decline. There
are sellers of fine P.Y.C. at 46s to 46s 6d, and old at 455
3d to 45s 6d, whilst an impression exists that prices
have not yet arrived at their lowest point on account of
the immense quantity there is to come in. For delivery
in the last three months of the year the business concluded
has been small, although 45s 9d to 463 have been taken
for fine new P. Y. Candle. llo.ne made has been
operated in with caution at 46s 6d to 47s nett cash. Of
other sorts the supply continues to be good, and the
trade operating with caution prices continue to give way.
At election 787 boxes of South American fetched 47s to
47s 9d for fine quality ; 150 hhds of North American
Butchers' melted 45s 6d to 46s p r cwt. The stock of
Tallow exceeds that of last year, but prices are much
above that time.

Commander Edward Crouch (1843) died yesterday
at Titchfield, near this port, aged thirty-one. Co-
". mender rn Crouch came home in the Prometheus lately,
% from his command of the Devastation on the western
coast of Africa, on account of ill-health, the climate
having been too unhealthy for him. He was a gallant
and excellent officer, deeply respected. He was a
mate of the Wellesley, 72, on the coast of China, at
the taking of Amoy and Chinghae, in 1841 ; lieu-
,e,.. tenant of the Blonde, at the taking of Wootung and
Shanghae, and severely wounded at the capture of
the city of Ching-Kiang .Poo, in 1842.
WOOLWICH, SEPT. 14.—The Hecate steam sloop
was commissioned this morning at Woolwich, by
Commander Richard Moorman, who paid off the Rat-
tler steam vessel yesterday.
14 The officers and crew of the Rosamond steam sloop,
i9a
Commander Foote, are in the enjoyment of good
5s health, according to recent accounts from her station
as at the Cape of Good Hope, the ventilators fitted by
18 Mr. Haig keeping the air in the vessel quite pure.
od Mr. Haig has just fitted the magazines of the Asia,
*4 84 guns, commissioned at Sheerness, with ventilators,
:3‘ as to prevent the danger the air has to be forced
15i through fine wire sieves. The Prince Regent, 'for-
merly 120, and now converted into a 90-gun ship, is
to be fitted with similar copper pipes and ventilators
14 to purify her magazine. The experiments already
made show that Mr. Haig's plan works well in dis-
charging the carbonic acid gas generated in maga-
zines of vessels, so injurious to the health of the men,
and it also affords an ample supply of pure air to
enable them to -work in the magazine with perfect
safety.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 14.)
SUGAR.--To day there was not much desire evinced
to operate in Raw Sugar for Tcf:ldceornsumption or ex-
portation, but on the part ofo and importers
firmness was generally manifested, alathmsoougeh the market
therate demand
was well supplied. There was only
for all sorts of West India Muscovado for
pan, still the rates obtained were on a par with stchaolse o
e orf
Friday for all qualities. At auction 121 hhda 7 tierces
Barbadoes were all sold at market rates.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods were operated in
with caution by the home trade, and the rates
taken were 54a for brown grocery, and 54s 6d to 53s for
standard lumps. There are many parcels on offer of
all sorts. Bonded crushed Sugar is little required, and
first sorts can be obtained at 31s to 31s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—Little desire has been evinced to operate in
good and fine descriptions of Congou, but merchants
generally are not disposed to lower their prices, and
have obtained Is Id to is 5d for the former, and Is 6d
to 2s for the latter. The lower qualities brought] firm
prices. whilst a fair business has been concluded :
common at 9d to 9/d, good common 9id to
10d ; but the mid and mid sorts were ope-
rated in with caution, and easier rates were
generally submitted to on the part of holders, viz., 100
to Is per lb. Of common Congou there is only a mode-
rate quantity on offer. The market for the better quali-
ties of Green is in an inactive state, and having a fair
supply, prices continue on the decline ; but in common
large purchases have been made, in consequence of the
low rates that prevail. All sorts of Young Hyson, how-
ever, have been in excellent request, and brought stiffer
rates. In Scented Teas there has been little passing.
Smarra.—To-day Jamaica Rum of all kinds was in
eAcskilent request for all purposes : holders evinced much
firmness, and obtained 3s 9J to 4s 4d for 30 to 38 per
cent ovenproof, 4s 54 to 4es 94 for ftue, and 4s 104 to 5s

Tom TEtumu'a FORTUN R. —Tom Thumb's secretary
has furnished one of the Syracuse papers with a state-
ment of his receipts in Europe, which are said to be as
rpllows:—" His receipts in Europe were 150,0001. ster-
ling, or 750,000 dollars, reckoning 56 sovereigns to the
pound avoirdupois, 3,678 pounds of gold, one hundred
and seventy-eight times his own weight. In silver the
weight would be 46,375 pounds. Calculating that an
ordinary horst!: would draw S5O pounds, it would require
55 horses to (Ira w the precious load. As the General
only weighs 15 pounds, the silver would make 3,125
statues of hi,,; n weight. Calculating that each dollar
measures l I inch, it would reach in a straight line about
twenty-five, miles; and supposing each dollar is one-
eighth of an judo in thickness, piled one upon the other,
it would reach over a mile and a half in height.—New
Yo•k Exorcsa.
FATAL ACX,lllENT.—Yesterday morning, about six
oclock, Mr. ":;(Iwrod Knight, an extensive barge owner,
walkiiwt slat ag along the gunwale of a barge lying in
Shadwelt dc, :k, slipped overboard and sunk. Drags were
procured, a: sd every effort used, but the body was nut
recovered. The deceased, it is supposed, must bare been
seized with si fit of apoplexy.

ACCIDENT TO JOHN DIXON, Egg., M.P.—We are
sorry to state that a rather severe accident befel John
Dixon, Esq.,M.P.ip for this city, on Saturday last. In
the forenoon of that day, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, while riding in his park. a servant brought him
a letter. Having
read it, he took off his hat with the
intention of depositing- the letter in it. This movement
frightened the horse, which galloped off, and Mr. Dixon
fell to the ground with considerable violence. He was a
good deal bruised on his side by the fall. and when re-
moved to his house was very faint. tic is now, howevrT.
we are happy to say, going on favourably.—Carliale
Patriot.
