ADMIRALTY, Oc-r 1

My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having reason
to believe that the Scheme of Retirement, dated 31st August
last, and which is inteztled to extend to all Captains of the
Royal Navy of seniority prior to 1827, who shall be
fifty-five years of age (and in particular cases above
the age of fifty), notice of which was only communi•
cated to the several officers by letter, dated the 7th of
September, may not have reached such officers as are resid-
ing abroad (or at a distance) sufficiently early for their
replies to have been received, their Lordships have deter-
mined to extend the time for officers sending in their names
until the Ist November next, it being understood that the
list will be closed on that day, and that the retired pay will
commence from the Ist of October, as originally intended.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 29.—The average price of wheat in
the week ending on Saturday, Sept. 25, was from 24f.
06c., and that of rye from 19f 2 05 per hectolitre.
The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg anti suite left
the Palace of Lacken yesterday for Germany.
On Saturday last, the 26th September, two marriages
wore celebrated in one of the most ancient noble fami-
lies of Belgium—the family of Werner de Merod. The
two sisters were married on the same day, at their country
seat at Louveual, near Charleroi. One was married to
the Prince de la Cisterns, and the other to the Duke de
Valentmois, the hereditary of Monaco. This was the
civil ceremony ; the religious ceremony took place on
Monday, and was performed by M. de Saint Marsden,
the Apostolic Nuncio.
We learn from a letter from Ostend, dated the 28th,
that Mr. Waghorn had arrived this evening by the train
without dispatches. It is needless to tell you that
insuperable obstacles are the cause of this disappoint-
ment, since the English Government has not declined
any expense to get the mails from India by way of
Trieste. Our readers are aware that Mr. Waghorn has
been endeavouring for some months past to establish a
communication between Trieste and Belgium for the
conveyance of the mails from India, which would be
preferable to the route via Marseilles, as it would be
performed in a shorter time. On Thursday last a very
violent west wind prevailed along the whole extent of our
coast. The English mail, which sailed in the morning, was
obliged to put back, but in an hour afterwards it put to
sea again, having left behind almost all her passengers,
most of whom took carriages to convey them to Calais.
Mr. Borsig, proprietor of important works in the en-
virons of Potsdam, where, within the last fourteen years,
more than 100 locomotives have been constructed, has
just increased the number of his workmen to 2,000.
He is engaged to construct 186 locomotives,:which have
been bespoke, within the space of three years.
The number of locomotives at present employed on
the railways in Germany is 631, 402 of which are on
lines worked by companies, and 229 on those under the
Government.
The Committee for the improvement of the condition
of the working classes, had another sitting yesterday.
Mr. Charles Bouckere read his report on the distress in
Flanders, and the means of remedying it. This report,
which its author has modified and completed between
the two meetings, was finally adopted, and is to be laid
before the Minister of Justice. The report of the com-
mittee, besides the creation of a society for the en-
couragement of the manufacture of linen, propose to em-
ploy the people during the approaching winter on public
works, such as roads and canals. We have reason to
hope that, thanks to some manufacturers of Ghent, the
wish of the committee for the improvement of the labour-
ing classes, and likewise the wish expressed by the com-
mittee of inquiry in 1841, will be speedily fulfilled.
EISAcK, SEPT. 23.—We are in daily receipt of the
most painlul accounts of hail storms and inundations,
which have occasioned fearful damage in dill. rent parts
of the Tyrol and on the Voralberg. In Liven
Allcngo, near Bushenstein, nearly all the crops are
totally destroyed, from Kirchber,7 to Kelzlinshel. All
communication was interrupted for some days in Sa-
lurne ; the siik works were deStroyed, and all hopes are
blasted for this year, and, it is feared, likewise for the
ensuing. At Golzniss, near Inspruck, several dwellings
were washed away by the inundation. At Dornbern and
rloheneurs no less than 50 landslips tcok place, by which
the mountain torrents were so 'swelled that numbers of
the inhabitants were compelled to seek their safety by
flight. Accounts from other parts are equally distress
ing. Great consternation and uncertainty prevails
among all classes, for it is impossible to say where the
devastation may end. The district of Rente has suffered
more from inundation than even the Markt did so lately
from fire.

FASHIONS FOB. OCTOBER.
(From the World of Fashion.)
MORNING WALKING HATS are principally of the
jardinieres form, a petites pailles, decorated with a single
ribbon of velvet. Certain fancy net works have lately
appeared, made of black velvet, and intended for the or-
namenting of thethesro kind of hats, and which have a very
becoming effect.

HATs:—That most worthy attention, is a bat of pink
crepe, the form round and reconvert, with a voilette or
demi• veil of pink tulle, attached upon each sido with two
white roses, and earidessly tied under the chin. The veil
is edged with a very narrow white blonde, terminating
at the ends, and gives it the appearance of two lappets
tied under the chin.

MORNING DRESSES of the peignoir form are now
greatly in request, and offer the greatest variety, some
being extremely graceful and simple, whilst others, by
their ample folds, and the richness of their ornaments,
approach to the oriental style of costume, opening upon
a most elegant kind of under skirt ; these are denomi-
nated des peignoirs sultans.
DRESSES.—Ladies who do not like wearing flounces,
or who wish for a variety, have their light and simple
dresses made with tucks, to the number of five or seven,
according to the height of the skirt, the lower one being
rather wide, and the others diminishing progressively.
Those dresses trimmed with flounces are, however, most
in favour, as they can be adapted for either slender or
stout ladies ; these flounces being only slightly fulled,
has often the effect of simple upper skirts. Short sleeves
are also very much worn, particularly with dresses of the
pelisse form, under which is generally worn tight sleeves
fastened round the wrists, instead of those made demi-
larwes and open.
EVENING DRES3.—terl taffetas glace, or the Pekin
rayei, are mostly in vogue for evening costumes, the
bodies being made low, and canaezouts of lace ; short
sleeves, trimmed with narrow frillings, to match the
three flounces which are put on at equal distances upon
the skirt.

Ctrs are chiefly eamposed of tulle chiffonne, and
seamed or striped with sprigs of the lily-of-the-valley,
or P,rina violets, whilst others are made of lace, with
ornnments of coloured tulle.
M ANTELETS.—Those for morning costume are prin-
cipally of embroidered muslin, festonnees a dents
p.intues. A very convenient kind of small cloak has
lately appeared for travelling, called le mantelet rouliere
o' silk, but not lined, and trimmed with an open-worked
fringe, being more solid and less likely to crease than
lace, and which from its lightness can be thrown over a
light summer toilette This style of mantelet descends
13 low as the knees, and is very simple and comme
it Taut.

FLOWERS are ptill worn in the hair, the most natural
being preferred, and to match those which decorate the
dress, artificial fliwers are being now much intermixed
with fruits, such as a bunch of black grapes in a wreath
of cactus.

FASHIONABLE COLOURS for the present month are
principally of mixed hues, such as blue d'Aumole upon
gris perdrix, groseille upon gris de ill., and lilac upon
violet.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, SEPT. 29.—The expected arrivals of
the Indian mail, which was to leave Bombay on Aug. 27,
and of the Britannia steamer, which would sail from Bos-
ton on the 16th instant, have tended to limit demand in
our market ; both sellers and buyers being anxious to
learn further intelligence of the condition and
prospects of the cotton crop, and of the state of commer-
cial affairs in India—where a considerable improvement
is confidently expected. The amount of business done
was consequently limited ; but prices, both of goods and
yarns, are very firm ; and in some cases higher rates
than those current last week are demanded by spinners
and manufacturers.

ROCHDALE, SEPT. 28.—We have had a fair business
to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preced-
ing week. In the wool market there is very little
change, except, perhaps, that it is more difficult to buy
foreign wool at last week's prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, SEPT. 29.—Our market to-day is
without animation; indeed, it may be said to be flatter
than last week. Some of the fancy cloth manufac•
turers have received orders, but not to the extent they
bad reason to anticipate. Wools are much the same in
price, but sales cannot be made, although they are up in
the London markets. In the warehouses there is not
much doing.

LEEDS, 8 EPT. 29.—We have no better account to give
of our this day's market than of preceding ones. 'The
demand continues slack, and profits are very small n
all the business actually done.

The Adjutant-General to the Forces transacted busi-
ness yesterday at the Treasury.
A BEGGAR-LY Orimorc—One of the begging fra-
ternity, in reply to a question propounded to him by a
captain at Pillgwenlly, " half seas over," of whom he
solicited and received alms, provided he admitted the
amount of his " income," made the following candid and
truly pithy acknowledgment.—" I doesn't know what's
come to Newport, it's bad times with the tradesfolk, for
I used to make my thirty shillings cadging it through
the town, when my rounds came that way, and was safe
for full thirty shillings. Now, I can't get more nor five
shillings, and a matter a two days about it ! It mast be
awful times with the tradespeople. How I pities 'em I"
Roars of laughter were elicited by the sympathijing
manner and rich pathos in which the fellow spoke as to
the diminution of his " income," and the fallen fortunes
of Newport. He should have attrih,atea his " lesser
fortune" to the discrimination wh
.:ich now enables our
charitable townsfolk to perceive the difference between
the really needy and those whQ trade in begging.—Mon-

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--CURES OF FEARFUL ULCEROUS
SORES IN MALTA, wr Ilowkwhor's PILLS AND OINTMENT.—MEL
Duncan, whose husband is employed in her Majesty's dockyard at
Malta, suffered for more than two years from ulcerous sores in her
feet. She formerly resided at Corfu, and was treated by the best
practitioners there, from whom, however, she derived no benefit
whatever, when, after using five or six boxes and pots of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, a perfect cure was effected. The truth of this
statement is so notorlows in Malta that the editor of the " Malta
Mail" newspaper was induced to insert the particulars of the can
