squadron expects daily to march for Wales, in consequence
of which a detachment of the Foot Guards from London
are to proceed to Brighton, and take up the Pavilion
duty. Captain Jones is in command during the absence
of Lord Cardigan, but it is expected that Major Rutton
will be called in from Chichester, as it is likely Captain
Jones's troop will be one for out-quarters. A correspondent
writes—" Major Cooper's letter, published this week, has
caused a sensation, and it is supposed will lead to seriuus
consequences. "—United Service Gazelle.
MARGATE; NOV. 22.—This part of the coast
was last night visited by a severe gale, which has occa-
sioned an immense loss of property. At five o'clock this
morning the Westminster, from Singapore, laden with 900
tons of tea, completely filled with water, by which the
cargo will be considerably damaged, but the Captain,
crew, and passengers were saved. About seven o'clock
the Claudine, Captain Brewer, from Madras, laden with
cotton, indigo, and silk, and having on board a detachment
of troops and 20 passengers, having lost both anchors, was
in extreme peril, but from which they were relieved by the
extraordinary gallantry and promptitude of the Margate
boatmen, who succeeded in running the ship on shore in au
excellent position for unloading, in which 200 carts were
immediately employed, so that it is hoped that the cargo
will be saved, and but little damaged. Captain Brewer,
crew, and passengers, have all been sheltered at the York
Hotel, where they have received every attention from the
host and hostess.

SHIPWRECKS.—The Armorwatn of Brest states
that the schooner Mary of Greenock, with coal in ballast,
from Newcastle to Bordeaux, was caught in a severe squall
off Cape Finisterre, on the 6th inst., by which she lost her
mainmast and sprung a leak. After five days beating about,
the crew were forced to abandon her off the Glenans, and
taking to their boat, succeeded in running into the river at
Quimperle, not without great danger. AFt ench vessel
from Bordeaux, with a cargo of wine and fruit, was entirely
lost off Quelern on the 13th.

mutual exchange of the natural productions of the two
countries without duty. 2d. Mutual protection for the
subjects of the two countries, the organisation of Russo -

On Monday an inquest was held on the bodies
of the drowned men who belonged to the Syria, when the
Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
Accidentally Drowned, at the same time expressing their
opinion, that the life-boat was not in an efficient condi-
tion at the time of the unfortunate accident. They re-
commended that she should be supplied with a rope and
grapnel', and also with two sets of oars ; being convinced
that if the boat had been so fitted out on this occasion,
there was every probability that the men's lives might have
been saved.—Sunderland Herald.

and jacket, and striped shirt. lie was about five feet five
inches in height, and there were no marks of violence on
the body. Verdict—" Found dead."
PRICE OF ENGLISH NEWSPAPER' IN INDIA.
—Newspapers are sent free to all the colonies, but the ex-
panse incurred for postage from the time they are received
in Bombay to the period of their delivery in the interior of
India, i~ so enormous, that the evil ought to he taken into
consideration, and the charge should at any rate be re-
dueLd, and " Indian Officers" be permitted to share in the
advantage of receiving news from England without pay-
ing so dearly for it. Twenty-two newspapers mare charged
30e. postage from Bombay to Calcutta, while from En-
land to Bombay they came free.--Corrtspohdent thge

HER MAJESTY'S BUCK HOUNDS.—The sport
during the past week has been first rate. Five deer have
been turned out during the three days' running—cutting
out plenty of wcrk for " man and beast." On Monday the
meet was at Wexhani, and the deer was turned out close
to Stoke-park. After winding about through Farnham,
Burnharnheeches, on to Farnham-common, it was taken,
after upwards of an belies sharp running, at Brocas-wood.
The first deer, on Wednesday, was turned out near New-
digate's-hill ; after taking to near Harefield, it
liare made for
Denham-wood, thence to Chalfont, back to field,
where it was run into. The second deer was uncarted
Hillingdon-park, and started off at a sharp pace towards
the hounds met
with fifteen minutes' check at iver-park. The deer was
afterwards pursued to Huntsmoor-park, to the mill at
Drayton ; but, night coming on, the hounds were whipped
off till the next morning, se hen they were laid on, and got
scent towards Colnbrouk. Thence they went over flor-
ton-moor, and crossed the Thames near Old Windsor
Church to Bears' Rails. The deer, after about an hour's
hard running, was taken close to the double gates in the
Great-park. A novice was turned out on Friday near the
new lodge, and it was taken after a short run at Charidge
Furze cover. A second deer, was turned out at Sainley,
which afforded excellent sport' fer nearly two hours. It
' first made for Whitmore bog, thence to Bracknell, on
for
to
East Hampstead Church ; and after svinding about
nearly half an hour, it was at last run into at East Hamp-
stead-park.
