'POUNDS

Owing to the great amount of business done by this Society, to the
economy with which its affairs are conducted, to the careful selec-
tion of the lives, to the equity of the prineiplesupon which it is based,
to the facilities afforded in the settlement of claims, and to other cir-
cumstances peculiar to itself, the members are entitled to look for the
greatest benefits which such an Institution can bestow, and it is
confidently believed that hitherto their expectations have not been
disappointed.

The declaration of Additions made at last period of Investiga-
tion, 31st December, 1845, showed that to the •idest Policies their
had been added, as a Bonus, more than 80 per cent. on the original
Insurance, and to the later Policies in a corresponding ratio ; and
this independently of the current additions.

In the event of one of th• members, insured before the year 1820,
dying in the year 1852, after payment of the Premium of that year,
there would be paid 2061. ss. ed. for each 1001. insured : the Bonus
Addition thus being greater than the original Insurance.
N.B. The Books of this Society are annually closed on the 31st
December. All Policies passed before 31st December next, in the
event of their continuing in force tor Ave years, will share in the
Profits of the current year.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced I. physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injary
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse *ion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profee •
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence ihouli be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee fir his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] DEBILITATED CONSTITU-
TIONS, DISORDERED LIVER, BILE, AND INDIGESTION,
CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The good effects pro.
puced by this salutary medicine are really extraordinary,
and speak volumes in favour of its excellence in the cure
of impaired digestion, bile, diseases of the liver and
chest. The benefits derived from the use of Holloway's
pills in these complaints are permanent, as the whole
system is completely renovated, by inducing a healthy
action of the liver, strengthening the organs of digestion,
and promoting a free respiration. Persons suffering from
any of these disorders should immediately have recourse
to this established remedy, to insure a safe, certain, and
speedy cure. Sold by all vendors of medicines; and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Eitablishment, 244, Strand, London.
TIIUNDER STORM IN ALTRINCIIAM.-011 Friday
night last, about nine o'clock P.N. this neighbourhood
was visited by a storm, accompanied with several peals'
of thunder, and most awfully vivid lightning.—Man-
chester

A public meeting, convened by the committee of
the above society, was held last night, at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern. The room was crowded to ex-
cess. The proceedings were opened, at a few minutes
after seven o'clock, by F. Bennoch, Esq., the chair-
man, and amongst those who ware seated at the table
were Messrs. A. Sp:Atiswoode, John Taylor, Jonathan
Duncan, John Bell, James Wood (of Cuckfield),
Frederick Collin, Edwards, and Anstey, Esq.;
M.P. for Youghal.
.The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the
evening, said that this was the first " proper" meeting
of the Anti-Gold-law League since its forniatigm
The League, he trusted, would exist until that terrible
system which they had proclaimed war against was.
abolished; that done—that great object achieved, they
would immediately dissolve themselves. It would
depend upon the energy of the people of this country,
who had so much at stake, as to how long this
agitation should continue.—(Cheers.)
The League
were determined not to discontinue their efforts to
benefit their country. Since they had
last met to-
gether the circumstances of the country had been in no
way improved ; on the contrary, the catalogue of
commercial distresses had been increased by tremen-
dous failures in the metropolis and elsewhere. During
the short period of a fortnight or more an amount of
three or four millions had been added to the terrible
list of commercial failures. When they took into
consideration the interests which were involved in
that large amount alone, he could not but think that
the consequences must be terrible to all, but more
especially to the middling and the labouring and the
industrial classes of the community,' because upon
them at last this distress weighed most heavily. He
knew that no country stood generally in a more
prosperous condition than our own. He knew that
the labouring classes were, to a large extent, occu-
pied—our manufacturers had orders, and the
general aspect of the country was favourable—
and hence there were many who might
reasonably think to themselves—what is there to pre-
vent our commercial prosperity ?, The reason was
simply this—because bills of exchange and other in-
struments which were in use for the purpose of car-
rying on the commerce of the country were found to
be undiscountable in the London market and else-
where. And why? Because it was said there, was a
want of gold—others said there was a want of confi-
dence. If so why was this ?—because there was a
want of gold. Then why, he asked, should we base
the whole commercial prosperity of this country on
some few millions of gold ? There were some who
said that gold was the only stable thing on which to
base the regulation of our monetary system. Was all
the eight hundred millions of debt gold ? Was the
produce of the land gold ? 'Where the goods which
were warehoused gold ? Why, they were as much
gold as the few millions which were in circulation
in this country. Then why should they depend
upon the value of gold ? It was to break down this
evil that the Anti-Gold-law League had associated
themselves together. Under the influence of the
present system, though our means of commercial
accommodation were equally abundant, still the
means of carrying out commercial operations were
clogged at a time when the channels ought to be
filled with the wealth of a commercial empire. Un-
less they had a sufficient, and a steady and a secure
circulating medium, it was impossible for the com-
mercial body to be in health. They knew that in
the body physical if there was an accumulation of
bile congestion followed, and the system became dis-
ordered, though there might be plenty of blood to
carry on the operations of the system; but it was
because congestion arose that deadly consequences
followed. Therefore he contended that they ought to
have a medium which did not create the disposition
to be hoarded or secreted. But gold had this charac-
ter. Many people thought that if they hoarded gold
they must be free from danger. If that gold was
not circulated it could not be advantageous
to the country. When a panic arose it was not
that the distress arose from a want of pro-
perty, but from the want of a healthy circulating me-
dium. It was to allow gold to take its natural
position amongst other commodities that the Anti-
Gold- law League requested that certain laws should
be repealed, and that gold might be bought and sold.
Where a fixed value was given to the metal, it made
it the only thing to take out of the country at the
lowest price of production. Various causes, however,
were given for the existence of the present distress.
Some parties declared it arose from over-production,
and that the evil would ultimately do us good—that
speculation would be retarded—but those gentlemen
forgot that when these matters were !disturbed the
labouring classes were thrown out of employ. Some
there were who contended that we were too productive

1 .
—that the people in England were too industrious,
and that the people should become idlers—that the ma-
nufacturers should stoptheir mills—and last of all,
some men proposed that the works on railways should
be suspended. They would throw, say 1,000,000 of men
I —1,000,000 of busythe parish, and say, " Oh,
we will feed you, but beesyo on u
must contribute nothing in
the shape of labour—youit was the duty of them t, n must remain idle." But surely
State to provide the means of
work and employment, if these men were healthy
and would work.
What absurdity, then, it was to
was
say that industry the cause of the present dis-
tress at this time, when millions of our fellow-coun-
trymen were half fed. the ides of using too much
corn for food was too absurd. Then what did these
gentlemen say in the case of the people of Ireland ?
There they said that the people did not work enough
—that they were net industrious—that they were too
much given to attend
monster meetings—bait that if
they would wcrk they h (these Englishmen) would as-

those whom he addressed to comesay' it was for
forward to
show how the existing system ought to be mo-
dified or instantly repealed. \\ht said some
of their excellent friends, who were theira rulers in the
Government ? Why, Sir Charles Wood, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, declared that there was no
deficiency of the currency ; that the solvent man
found no difficulty in obtaining discounts. Now he
(Mr. Bennoch) knew that on the very
day that Sir
Charles Wood made that statement, the most un-
mistakeable paper—the paper of Brown
, Shipley,
and Co., of Liverpool, and of others ofu, equal re-
spectability, there and elsewhere, had been refused
to be discounted. But under what
circumstances ?
Why, upon this ground—the party who was applied
to declared the paper to be excellent,
to be un-
doubted in its character; but he added, " I have
not the money to discount it." Sir Charles Wood
statement in this matter showed either that he
ignorant of the real state of affairs • , or thatwas
he
was aware of the facts. If he were igno-
rant of the state of affairs, he was to be pitied, and
he had no business to hold his position
as
Chancellor
of the Exchequer. If he were aware of the fact,
then he must say his argument was flippant, heartless,
oppressive, and most unjust. In whichever way
they took it, Sir Charles Wood's conduct was to be

denunciated. Whether that the Hon: Gentleman was
ignorant of the facts,'or perfectly aware of them, he
had
placed himself on the horns of a!dileitna, from
which it would be difficult for him to' remove himself.
To show the absurdity of our present position as re-
garded the currency he would take a few extracts
from the celebrated work of Alison,* being a history
of the financial condition of Europe. It would be
found there that 20,000,000 of people required on an
average 40,000,000/. of currency to carry on the
operations of the commerce of the country. At pre-
sent we had 30,000,000 of population, who upon the
above calculation would require 60,000,000/. of cur-
rency. But instead of this we had 30,000,000 of people,
with only 40,000,0001. of circulation ; whereas it
aught to be 60,000,0001., according to the population
laid down, to enable the people_ to carry on efficiently
the commerce of the country at the present moment.
In the year 1818 the 'circulation was 48,000,0001. to
42,000,000/. of export trade. In the year 1844 it
was only 28,000,0001. circulation to our export of
130,000,0001. Now, if there were any truth in these
calculations, and they knew that they were taken
from the most authentic documents, the disparity
Made it perfectlyridiculous to argue upon it. Since
they had had the pleasure of meeting on the previous
occasion, the League had had a greater degree of
encouragement to proceed in their labours. The far
greater portion of the public press were in favour of
an alteration of the present system. Two or three
journals might probably be against them; but he
thought that the " leading journal" was only watching
for a favourable opportunity to come round to their
views. An article was lately published in that
journal, possessing, certainly, a consi:lerable
amount of heavy wit, but including a vast
amount of ridicule, without any positive ar•
gument;—and the idea immediately struck him
that the Times putting forth all its badinage showed
that their case must be bad. He remembered the
cautious notices which appeared in that journal of
the first meetings of the Anti-Corn-law League.—
(Hear.) He knew how they had treated the first
movements of almost every meeting in a popular
cause.—(Hear.) He believed, however, that to sup-
port consistencymust ultimately
i inthat journal,turn rowunitdhoauntdbseuinpg.
port the principles of the Anti-Gold-law League. And
why ? Because he found that the Times newspaper
inconsistent,
i t
and Sir Robort Peel might be taken as an index to
society, inasmuch as there would not be any argu-
ment which they would advance, in respect to which
they would not at a subsequent period take up an
i opllion diametrically opposite to that which they had
at first advocated. When either the one or the other
declared themselves to be of such and such an opinion
he always prepared himself to find them advocating a
contrary opinion afterwards. If the Times journal
were in favour of the movement of this League,
he should despair of having their support for
any length of time ; but as they were against
them, he did not despair of their aid hereafter.
For his own part he could not help feeling that if
the present monetary system was not altered, the
most terrible consequences might be expected. The
Bills which had been passed in the years 1819 and
1844 were based on injustice. If the monetary sys-
tem were not altered, our aristocracy would become
as nought, the landed gentry would be reduced, and
with their downfal must be expected the pauperisa-
tion of the nation. They knew that already many of
the largest landed proprietors—that many noblemen
had been obliged to flee the country ; and that their
property and estates were in the power of the bul-
lionists of the country. It might be right it should
be so in many cases, where the parties had disgraced
their position, and had not carried the great consti-
tutional principle of supporting those who lived on
their estates. It was right it should go forth to the
world that such men were incapable of taking care
of themselves. He did not wish to say anything
against the bullionists, because, if under legal sanc-
tion, and under a legalised system, they could in-
crease 1,0001. to 10,0004 no man could wonder at
their doing so. All men would act in the same way
he believed. These convulsions came at a period when
the commercial world was most prosperous. The
prosperity of the country, he maintained, depended on
an abundant and unfluctuating currency.

Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN next addressed the meet-
ing at great length. He commenced by reiterating
the objects which the League had in view. One of the
greatest illusions which prevailed in the country was
constantly propagated by. a certain portion of the
publicpress, in the confusion which.they fell into be-
tween the terms money and currency. They of the
League defined currency as not including the legal
tender, and they defined money to be the legal tender.
He who manufactured money manufactured the legal
tender. He, on the part of the League, contended
that the only authority to issue the legal tender, or to
make money, was vested in the Crown, with the sanc-
tion and advice of Parliament ; the nation through
her representatives being parties to the legal tender
of the country; and they considered that neither the
Parliament, nor the Parliament and the Queen united,
should be permitted to issue money at her Majesty's
caprice and discretion, but that a limit should be put
to that issue, and it appeared to them that the legalised
amount of the legal tender should consist of Exchequer
notes of the value of 1/. and upwards ; that such notes
should be issued only with the consent of Parliament in
discharge of the current obligations of the State, to an
amount not exceeding, in the course of the year, the
annual taxation of the country which the Crown de-
mands of the people. They held it as a constitutional
principle that the Queen had no right to demand
taxes from her subjects in any other form. That
was the basis of taxation. The Sovereign had the right
to demand a portion of the produce of the labour of
the country, which was always available to the sub-
jects, and which, without inconvenience, they could
furnish. Such was the ancient practice until the
time of Henry I. ; but when for his own conveni-

ence he changed the mode of taxation, he did not
increase the pressure by calling upon his subjects
to provide a foreign metal as a circulating medium.
He issued his own money by the granting of what
were called "Exchequer-bill tallies ; and these tallies
for a period of six centuries continued to be the
sole instrument by which taxes were paid ; and
down to the year 1694, when the Bank of Eng-
land was established, England had obtained most
of her vast colonial empire, or at least the founda-

tion of that empire was laid, as well as of the present
constitution. If, then, a small kingdom could do all
this without an ounce of gold, how was it that, in the
present day, when this empire had obtained such a
magnitude that the sun never sets upon the dominions
of our Sovereign—how was it that now, in the
glorious maturity of strength, this country was unable
to proceed with a legal tender issued by the Crown—
that that tender should be, as it were valueless ? Here
(producing an old Exchequer tally)—here was one of
the instruments by which England rose to greatness.
There was one of the Exchequer tallies, which had
been used by our ancestors for six centuries ! It was
only a piece of maple wood. The notches*repre-
sented different sums. The tally was used to pay the
soldiers or the judges. The counterpart was kept
in the Exchequer, and those who held these tallies

were acquitted of taxation ; they were used as a
discharge to the sheriff, in the case of persons in
custody for debt. The speaker contended that it was
necessary to adept a circulating medium which was
capable of expansion. They knew that, as the
population increased, streets were widened and new
thoroughfares made, and the same principle applied
to the currency. Who but Sir Robert Peel would
think of selecting the rarest of metals in the world
as the basis of the means of the currency ? Sir Ro-
bert Peel told them he had restored the standard of
Queen Elizabeth; but he had done no such thing.
But what would they think of reducing the roads in
the country to what they were in the time of Queen
Elizabeth, when Adam smith told them that the
roads might be assimilated to money, inasmuch as by
the facilities of communication commerce was in-
creased ? As to the currency, the views of the Leagu©
had been misunderstood by the Economist, a weekly
paper,:who accused them of limiting themselves to
taxation money. They were not bound to take
Rothschild's acceptance or Mr. Baring's acceptance
for 101., but they were bound to take money because
it was a legal tender. All the League said was that
if public opinion should incline to demand that
private banks should give security in lands or in con-
sols, and that these notes, to certify their genuine-
ness, should bear a stamp, they (the League) had
no objection to that ; but their object was con-
fined to obtaining the legal tender, which it
was desirable should be limited in amount to
that of the annual taxation of the country, so
that, there could never be an excess of issue.
lie contended that at the close of the war the pro-

perty classes ought to have redeemed the National
Debt—they ought to have adopted the continuance of
the property-tax, which yielded, at ten per cent.,
14,000,0001. of money. But, instead of doing so,
their first act was to abolish it under the plea that it
was only a war tax. Mr. Duncan then proceeded, at
great length, to refer to the effect which, to his mind,
had been produced by the restriction acts ; and, in
illustration of his arguments, read an immense mass
of statistics having reference to the operations of the
Bank of England, showing that Mr. Ilusltisson's
charge against the Bank of England of over-issues
was unfounded, inasmuch as they had never equalled,
by an immense per tentage, the amount of Goyern-

its engagements at the Mint price of gold, then
indeed they might say that all their commercial
establishments were rotten.—(Hear, hear.) He denied
that the League had any desire to rob creditors ;
their desire was to compel creditors, in common with
all other classes, to bear their fair share of the
burden of national taxation.—(Hear, hear.) They
contended that the producers throughout Great
Britain were entitled to remunerating prices, and
that it was impossible for the industrious classes—so

long as Sir Robert Peel's Act existed—to enjoy re-
munerating prices. Variations had taken place in the
standard price of gold. In the reign of Elizabeth it
was 2/. 13s. 11d. an ounce ; in the reign of Charles 11.
31. 14s. 2d., and before the close of the seventeenth
century it was 3/. 17s. 100. an ounce. If, then,
gold was received at one period in payment of debts
and taxes, at the rate of 21. 15s. I Id. an ounce, and
at another period at the rate of 31. 17s. 100. an
ounce, why, he asked, should not an ounce ofgold be
allowed to rise, relatively to taxation, to any amount
the industrial necessities of the country might require ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer told the Newcastle
deputation that they had confounded circulation with
capital. It was Sir Robert Peel and those who acted
with him who had committed that mistake; for they
had assumed that promissory notes were capital. Mr.
Tooke in his able work had pointedy out the error,
and had shown how improvident speculations might
be made without the use of. a single bank note—by
the transfer of capital alone. They had been told
that railway spe.chlation and the potato rot: were the
principal caused of the distress. A former speaker
had shown that had it not been for railroad specula-
tion millions would at the present moment have been
in the greatest distress, and would have been sup-
ported, in all probability, by means of the intolerable
poor-rate.—(Hear.) 'With regard to the failure of
the potato crop, the loss had been estimated at
20,000,000/. But how could they connect the loss of
commercial houses with that failure. Twelve months
ago Consols were 96. Within the last few days they
had been as low as 83. The loss to the fund-holders
amounted to 80,000,0001. or 100,000,000/., and he
could not see how that could be attributed to the
failure of the potato crop, the loss arising from
which amounted to only 20,000,000/.—(Hear.) It
was under such circumstances as these that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had met the deputations
on the subject. The fact was Sir C. Wood was an
admirable hoper—he could hope against hope.—
(Hear, hear.) In May or September, his answer
would have been " the worst is past." If they were
to go to him to-morrow, his answer would be the
same, and if in the middle of December, he would
no doubt tell them, or any deputation from the City,
that they were all labouring under a delusion. In-
deed, his conduct reminded him of a story he had
read in a Yankee newspaper. According to that
story, when Noah was about to construct the ark,
he stood greatly in need of labour, and applied to an
antediluvian giant, his neighbour, for assistance,
promising him a passage in the ark for his trouble.
The giant laughed at Noah, and refused. After-
wards, when sailing in the ark, Noah saw his old
friend on one of the highest peaks of Ararat, and
said to him, " Are ou not sorry you did not
accept my offer?"—(Rear.) The antediluvian—not
to be driven out of his opinion—answered " No ;
get along with your old rotten ark. I don't think,
after all, there's going to be much of a shower"—
(Laughter.) The antediluvian held to his opinion,
and suffered for it. —(llean) Sir C. Wood holds to
his opinion, but it is the industrious classes who
suffer.--=(Hear.) He would conclude by denying
that the League confounded circulation with capital.
They denied that their present distresses were caused
by the potato rot and railroad speculation. They
denied that they had any desire to rob the creditor
or to palm on the country inconvertible currency.
They desired to see a system of currency established
under which property might be converted into money,
and money into property, and under which, above all
things, a fair day's work might be converted into a
fair day's wages.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN intimated that with reference to
future proceedings it had been thought advisable that
all questions should be given in writing with the
view of their being considered on some succceeding
evening. This would introduce harmony into their
discussions, and avoid much confusion. The busi-
ness of the meeting might now terminate, but there
was a gentleman present whom they might not see
again, and who wished shortly to address the meeting.
The gentleman (Mr. J. Wood) was an eminent
agriculturist in Sussex, and he hoped they would
listen to him.

Mr. WOOD then addressed the meeting. He felt
that if some alteration was not made in the money
laws, food, instead of being cheap as promised by Sir
Robert Peel, would become dear, for so long as they
restricted the supply of money they would never be
able to keep down the price of food. In the present
year they had witnessed food commanding all other
commodities. It would always command whatever
money there might be in the country.—(Hear, hear.)
If they obtained their supplies of food from abroad
instead of from the labour of their own countrymen,
the diminution in the wealth of the country would be

great. The investment of capital in cultivating the
soil would cease to be profitable, land would be
thrown out of cultivation, and labourers would be re-
duced to the condition of paupers. No doubt it was
the opinion of some that all the land might be thrown
out of cultivation and that the labourers might be
employed in some other way than in the cultivation
of it.—(Hear, hear.) He had heard such an opinion
stated, but he confessed he could not understand how
it could be carried out.--(Laughter.) He felt that
if there was an issue of money to the extent proposed
by the League there would be a prospect of their
thriving. If the contrary took place, he feared the
distress that would ensue in the rural districts would
be enormous.
The CHAIRMAN hoped it would not go forth that
the League were opposed to the cultivation of the
soil. One of the principal grounds upon which they
advocated their s3•stem of currency was that it would
enable agriculturists to cultivate the soil to its fullest
extent. They were not partial free-traders. They
felt that free trade in food without free trade in gold
would ruin the country. After an appeal to the
meeting to come forward with pecuniary support to
the League, the Chairman declared the business of the
meeting at an end, and vacated the chair.

" Lieutenants Hawkey (Vengeance), and Hopkins

The Hermes steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commanding
W. H. Bridge (acting), sailed last evening, taking
supernumeraries for the eastward, to be paid off.
The Recruit, 12, Commander A. Slade, sailed last
evening to join the Amphion, 36, Captain W. J.
Williams, and cruise for a week, and then return to
thiS port. If this cruise be intended as an experimen-
tal trial, it is a very unfair one, the Amphion being
perfectly clean, while the starboard side of the Re-
cruit's bottom is thickly covered with a growth of
weeds and barnacles nearly four inches in length.
The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander A. P. Ryder,
embarked the Duke and Duchess of Pa!mella and
suite, and Mr. Percy Doyle and staff, to-day, and
sailed this afternoon tbr Lisbon. She took 20 second-
class boys to join Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier's
squadron.

The Blenheim transport, Lieutenant E. Ward,
agent, came into the harbour this morning to refit.
Captain J. IL Plumridge, of the Cambrian, hoisted
his broad pendant (blue at the main), as a Commo-
dore of the second-class, this morning at daylight.
The Birkenhead steam vessel, Commander A. li,
Ingram, was taken into the basin yesterday.
WooLwicti, 0cT..13. —The crew of the Acheron
steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Dunlap, recently
serving in the Tartarus steam-vessel, were paid off to-
day at Woolwich, and a number of the men have
stated their intention of again serving in the Tarta-
rus, commissioned on Monday last by Lieutenant Sir
Godfrey Webster, Bart., who has the command of the
vessel. The Tartarus is refitting, and will soon be
ready for service.

The Monkey steam-vessel left' Woolwich at
half-past one o'clock for the Commercial Dock,
Deptford, in case her services should have
been again required to aid in the launch of the
Banshee, Holyhead mail steam-packet, built by Mr.
Thompson, but the arrangements for the launch were
so effectually made to-day that in a few minutes after
the signal was given the launch took place with the
greatest ease, and the Banshee glided into the water
in fine style amidst the enthusiastic and often re-
peated cheers of the numerous spectators, many of
whom had been present during the three days on each
of which the launch was expected to take place. The
Banshee looks remarkably well on the waster, and
when launched her draught of water was five feet at
the bows. The Monkey steam-vessel took her in tow
to Messrs. Seaward's, at Limehouse, to have her
boilers put on board, and she will then be taken to
Messrs. Penn's establishment, to have her engines of
350 horse-power fitted in their proper places previous
to the trial of her capabilities for speed. In addition
to being riband bound, which prevented the launch
being effected on the first day, the ways appear to
have sunk in one place where the ground was soft and
raised the other end. The vessel is now fortunately
launched and perfectly free from injury in every re-
spect, and her entire appearance reflects great credit
on both her designer and builder.
PLYMOUTH, OCT. 12.—Her Majesty's frigate
America, 50, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, was in-

Her Majesty's steam-frigate Amphion, Captain
Woodford J. Williams, arrived this morning from
Portsmouth.

Her Majesty's transport steam-vessel Alban, Master-

SHIPWRECK AT KElss.Llnformation reached Wick
on Thursday morning that a large brig bad been driven
ashore in the neighbourhood of the old castle of Keiss,
a distance of eight miles to the northward of this place.
As it was reported that the men were clinging to the
wreck, and as there was a strong gale from the E.S.E ,
accompanied by a tremendous sea, the utmost fears were
excited for their safety. On reaching the spot the brig

likely to become a total wreck. It is understood that
both ship and cargo are insured.—John o' Groat Journal.
ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—Forty-six young
men, recruits lately joined at the head-quarters of the
Royal Sappers and Miners, left Woolwich on Friday Inst
for Chatham, to acquire a knowledge of fortification and
construction of field works; and sixty-two men of the
same corps, who had completed their course of instruc-
tion, left Chatham on the same day for Woolwich, tohold
themselves in readiness to embark in the course of the
present month for foreign service, Captain Ogle's (the
3d) company being about to proceed to Corfu, to relieve
Captain Chapman's company at that station since
January, 1349. Fifty-four men in detachmonts will a:so
proceed during the present month to Gibraltar, to

augment Captain Skyring's (2d) company, and Captain
Hutchinson's (11th) company, both doing duty at that
station.
