VALPARAISO, AUG. 28.—The Grampus, SO, Captain
H. B. Martin, C. 8., arrived here from Oaheite in 35
days, all well. She remains here for the present.
The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Henderson,
also arrived here on the 20th, fiom Callao, with the
Admiral on board. The Admiral will remain here
for his relief, which he does not expect for fire or six
months. Lady Seymour and family are on their
way, in the Collingvvood, 80, flag-ship, which is ex-
pected here from Callao in four or five days.
The Carysfort, 26, Captain M. Seymour, arrived
here from San Bias on the 24th, with 1,500,000
dollars in specie, partly collected by herself, and
partly by the Constance, 50, on the west coast of
Mexico. The Carysfort remains here for some time.
Captain Seymour was taken ill with the fever inci-
dental to the climate at Mazatlan, and was so much
reduced that Captain Sir Baldwin Walker sent him
up here (Valparaiso) to accelerate his recovery, and
remained himself on the coast of Mexico in the Con-
stance, 50, which is expected to be at Valparaiso about
the middle of October.
The Spy brigantine, Commander Wooldridge, had
been dispatched from Mazatlan to the Gulf of Califor-
nia, at the departure of the Carysfort from the coast
of Mexico, in the beginning of June.
The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, is among the
islands of Oceania.
The Modeste, 18, Captain Watkins, is daily ex-
pected to arrive at Valparaiso from the Columbia
River. She is supposed to have gone to the
Sandwich Islands on her way to take in stores and
provisions. Her Captain has been promoted, and
Lieutenant Macdonald, late Flag Lieutenant to
the Admiral, has been appointed to her as acting
Commander.
The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour,
leaves this day for England with the freight in specie
to the amount of 1,800,000 dollars on merchants ac-
count, which is consigned to Captain Sayer, wine
merchant and freight agent, of Portsmouth, for con-
veyance to the Bank of England. It is expected the
Cormorant will make a very quick passage, and her
officers hold out a prospect of her being in England
as soon as the mail via Panama. She will touch at
I the port of Calcura, in the province of Arancoa, on
the south coast of Chili, to replenish her stock of
coals sufficiently to carry her to Rio, through the
Straits of Magellan ; replenish again at Rio, and lastly
at Fayal ; so that she will be enabled to steam the
whole of the voyage home. A million and a half of
her freight has been collected in Mexico, shipped
from the Carysfort. A small amount of her freight
will be landed at Rio; all the rest is for England
upwards of 1,500,000 dollars.
P.S. The Cormorant has got her steam up,
and will start in a few minutes. Eight, rat.,

WOOLWICH DOCKYARD, Nov. l 0.--In format ion
having been given to the inspectors of police doing
duty at the dockyard that Tome of the factory smiths
were in the habit of making rods, boot•hooks, shoe-
tips, knives, and other small articles, and selling them
to persons in the town, Inspector Field and Sergeant
Forbes, after in vain endeavouring to find out the
guilty parties, commenced a search in the smiths'
department of the factory during the absence of the
men, and found articles of the kinds abovenamed
secreted near ten of the fire -places ; and on commu-
nicating the result, Mr. Atherton, chief engineer,
addressed the thirty men working at these fires, stat-
ing that it was not only very wrong to misappropriate
the Government property in the manner it was evi-
dent had been done, but the public works were also
delayed by the time occupied in making the articles ;
and if the guilty parties were not made known, the
Lords of the Admiralty would probably discharge
the whole of them, as such proceedings could not be
allowed. The result was, that 23 of the smiths were
brought before the Commodore, Sir G. Bremer,
and K.C.H., to•day, and the decision of the
Lords of the Admiralty read to them, dismissing four
of the men, and cautioning the others against con-
cealing in future any knowledge of the misappropria-
tion of Government property or loss of time. There
are 130 smiths in the factory at Woolwich.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 11.—The slow and gradual pro-
gress of returning confidence is still perceptible,
though there is no marked feature to note in the
occurrences of commercial affairs. The suspension of
Mr. Hargreaves, announced in a local contemporary,
is, it appears, unfounded, and the happy report
of the continued absence of further failures may be
repeated.
Railway shares have exhibited a considerable ad-
vance. London and North-Western stock has bought,
for cash, 154 3i ; and Midlands, 109. 4,000 bales of
cotton have again been sold at steady prices-1,2W
being for export.

packet ship Cambridge, which also arrived in the Mer-
sey this morning ; but from neither are there any
features of moment to communicate. The political
portion of the accounts is entirely void, and the com-
mercial intelligence is but one day later. The mer-
chants were then awaiting the advices hence by the
Cambria; and in the meanwhile the transactions
were unimportant. The cotton market was quiet.
In flour, sales of Michigan and Oswego had been
made at 6 dollars 50 cents, and of Genessee at 6 dol-
lars 56 cents to 6 dollars 621 cents. Southern flour
was firm, at 6 dollars 50 cents to 6 dollars 62} cents.

steam-ship Cambria, with a week's later ad-

of specie.
Further arrivals of specie, though insignificant in
amount, have been reported from South America.
There is still, in regard to our suspended banks, no
