YEOMANRY CORPS.
We have authority to state, that there is no truth in the ar-
. tide copied into our paper of the 4th instant, respecting the
Commanding Officers of Yeomanry Cavalry having receivcd
an order for the extension of the number of days of training
from fourteen to twenty-eight. We have. reason to believe,
that the article had its origin in some desigsinf individual, who
wished to cause disgust among the members 61 this useful body,
so as to induce them to relinquish the service.—(2Volangkons
Journal.)

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 25.—We are informed,
from the best authority; that no orders have been given to put
any ships of war into a state for service, beyond those wanting
for customary employ. The four guardships at Plymouth are
to be examined in Dock, as is usual at the expiration of every
three years ; if either prove unfit for sea service, she will be
paid off, and her place will be supplied with an effective ship.

bank, on Thursday, spoke, on 21st October, a schooner bound

a Portuguese polacre, having 238 slaves on board. The Harriet,

The French fishing-boats continue to visit our port in consi-
derable numbers, to purchase herrings; but the wind blowing
strong from the north-east, has prevented our boats from this
profitable pursuit many days. They have fetched from Is. 6d.
to 4s. 66. per bushel, and'• are purchased with much avidity by
the Frenchmen, who supply us in return with eggs, ten for a
shilling; woodcocks, 3s. per couple; fbwls, geese, &c... much
under our market prices.
There are no vessels of war whatever at Spithead. liar_

COWES.-.-The general estimation in which this harbour is
holden amongst fi'reign shipping cannot be better illustrated
than just at this period of the year, when the snore northern
ports, yielding to the inclemency of the season, refuse their
protection to ships that seek it, and drive them for security and
repose into more temperate and propitious climes. Hence our
harbour is filled by a variety of foreign bulky and richly laden
vessels, which, after long and dangerous voyages,, and many
fruitless attempts to reach their respective places of destina-
tion, were happy to bear away for a port like 'this, which
from the numerous advantages it possesses, whether with re-
ference to its locality, the moderation of the charges (each
ship being subject to the payment only of an achorage due of
4s. 6(14, or to the shelter anti general accommodation it affords,
is now esteemed by experienced navigators as the fittest winter
asylum, if not the most desirable rendezvous, in the whole Bri-
tish Channel. The following is a list of the ships now detained
here :—The Ulysses, Hancock; Potomac, Webster; Philip,
Leslie; London Packet, Reynolds; • Brahniin, 'Whitney ;
Montesquiou, M‘Leveen ; Aurora, Nannings ; Catherine
Elizabeth, Ingennan ; Ch! Freres,Steers ; Concordia, Jan-
sonius ; Morgen Ster, Veen ; Noort Gellxy, Peperboom ; Har-
tengen, Smith ; Dorothea Charlotte, lleridewerck ; George
Bolcke ; Hercules, Dew ; Doure, Simensen.
