BOTTLE FOUND IN LEITH ROADS.—On Sunday
afternoon a bottle, corked and sealed down, was discovered
floating in Leith Roads, off the West Pier. When opened it
was found to contain the following note, written with a black
lead pencil on a slip of paper, which had evidently-been torn
out of a pocket-book :—« The brig Robert Gunn, of. New-
castle, sprung a leak out of sight of land; No hopes. Don't
know where we are. August 16,1868, Please take this to
the nearest newspaper office."

VISIT OF LADY HAVELOCK TO LIVERPOOL.—
Yesterday Lady Havelock, accompanied by her two daugh-
ters, and the brother of the late general, visited Liverpool,
but as they travelled ineog. their presence was not publicly
known. Her ladyship, who was attired in deep mourning,
is of tall stature, and her daughters very much resemble
the prints of their lamented and gallant father. Lady
Havelock appeared to be much browned by the sun, owing,-
no doubt, to her residence in the East, and her late sojourn
in Germany, where she was travelling
,when the death of
her husband reached England.
THE FOE OF THE TELEGRAPH.--The renowned
" Irish Patriot," John Mitchell, who panted so ardently
for " a Southern plantation of fat negroes," in his Southern
Citizen, calls the Atlantic cable the "- thrim-accursed tele-
graph," and says, "to us the most exhilarating circum-
stance connected with the great event of the age, is, that it
can easily be ruined." No doubt it is a great terror .to
rogues. But as John will not be likely to flee to Great
Britain when he wishes a second escape from justice, wo
do not see why he should entertain such a bitter hatred for
the telegraph.—Detroit Daily Adrertiser
HAVELOCK AND lIIS SOLDIERS.—" After the
battle of Buiserat Gunge, our General passed down the
narrow street, thronged with wearied soldiers. They, on
observing him, cried out.:—' Clear the way for the Gene-
ral !' To this ho instantly made answer You have
done that well already.' Never was compliiiient
more happily timed, or more warmly appreciated
they were literally transported with delight, .prazze, be i
the soldier's coveted reward and best stimulant. Despite .
his reserved mannir, no man is more capable Of conciliating,
I had almost said compelling, regard than Gen: Havelock."

DOG SHOT BY A CHILD.—A few days since the
children of N. Morris, Esq., of Warrens Gill, Edenbridge,
and those of Dr. Morris, who is now staying at the resi-
dence of his relative, were walking in the Bounds, accom-
panied by three servants, when they met one of the game-
keepers, named Dench. The keeper sat down, and laid his
gun behind him, when one of the children took it up, un-
perceived, and tired it otf at a pointer dog, killing the
animal on the spot. The report greatly alarmed the whole
party, and it is very providential that none of them were
injured, as there were nine or tea of therm all grouped to-

THE ARMY.

Sir E. Lugard arrived at Teignmouth from India
on Friday. The gallant general, who is in excel-
lent health and spirits, considering the great fatigue
and onerous and difficult duties which his late com-
mand in India imposed upon him, paid a short visit
to his relatives at Exeter on Monday, and returned
to Teignmouth with his wife and family the same
afternoon.
Orders were yesterday issued from the Horse
Guards to the effect that the authorities had deter-
mined on sending about 2,000 additional troops to
India during the ensuing month, the number se-
lected for each presidency being-as follows—viz.,
Calcutta, 1,056 men, selected from various cavalry
and infantry regiments, 786 of whom are to embark
at Gravesend on the 6th of Oct., and 270 from Cork
on the 9th of Oct.; for Madras, 310 men, 176 to
embark at Gravesend, and the remainder at Cork,
on the Bth of Oct. ; for Bombay, 300 Men, to em-
bark at Gravesend on the 7th of Oct., and 90 men
for Kurrachee, to embark from the same place.
Vessels will be taken up by the Council of India for
the conveyance of the reinforcements, on Friday
next, at the East India House.

For several.days past a party of non-commissioned
officers of the Royal Engineers, from Chatham have
been engaged at the London Docks in superintend-
ing the embarkation of stores on board the Thames
City, the vessel which conveys the expedition of
Royal Sappers and Miners to British. Columbia.
The most ample care has been taken by the autho-
rities to provide for the comfort and health of the
men. It is intended to lay down a railroad in
British Columbia, in order to facilitate the opera-
tions of the Royal Engineers : and a sufficient
quantity of iron has been put on board to make
several miles of railway. It is also intended to
erect a church in the new colony, the works of
which will be executed by the Royal Engineers,
and a party of non-commissioned officers have been
sent from Brompton barracks to Erith Church for
the purpose of making a working plan of that
structure. The expedition is under orders to leave
Chatham this morning, the whole force numbering
135 non-commissioned officers and men, under
the command of Col. It. C. Moody, Capt. J. M•
Grant,. Capt. H. R. Luard, Lieut. A. R. Lernpriere,
and Lieut. H. S. Palmer. Two detachments, both
in charge of officers, have already proceeded to
British Columbia by the overland route, and will
join the remainder of the expedition on their arrival.
The Lady Jocelyn screw steamer. Capt. Bird, em-
barked the officers and men of the 99th Regt. at the
dockyard jetty, Portsmouth, on Monday, for Cal-
cutta. Yesterday morning, at high water, the Lady
Jocelyn proceeded to Spithead, and after taking in
her ammunition, Sze., immediately left for her desti-
nation. Both the Lady Jocelyn and her sister ship
the Calcutta are fitted with Stevens's patent air
furnace doors.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

This place has undergone a complete reformation.
It has been restored to the uses for which it was
originally intended. In the place of exhibitions of
a character with which science had nothing what-
ever to do, lectures are now delivered by competent
professors upon almost all subjects connected with
natural philosophy, and upon the most important
discoveries of the present day. At the same time,
that the attractions may be varied, the science of
music is illustrated by the lectures of Mr. Thorpe
Peed, in a manner which unites information with
amusement ; and many minor improvements have
been adopted. The arrangement of the models has
been classified, and notices of their purposes speci-
ally affixed to them. There are also lectures, at a
low rate of charge, for the operative classes, of
which they will do well to avail themselves. That
the alterations in the management have been pro-
perly appreciated, may be concluded from the fact

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—SEPT. 21.
Our market to-day was very much ruled by the report
from Mark-lane yesterday. Millers bought with cautious
and prices may be considered lower on the week about Id
to 2d per bushel ; but good and sound strong flour, upon
which the demand mainly was, could not be had at any
cheaper rate, as the consumers prefer the best quality of
bread, and, while they have money, will have a prime
article. Barley, beans, and peas do not move,' but they are,,
relatively much higher than the great staple. wheat. eivou
oats and oatmeal sustain late prices.

The following private telegram has been re

" MADRID, SEPT. 20.
" Their Majesties, who are at the Escurial, wil
arrive at Madrid on the 22d."

The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrrived.
Some of them express the opinion that the new
Cortes will be Progressist, and. therefore hostile to
O'Donnell's Cabinet ; others declare that they will
virtually be a Constituent Cortes. It.:was said that
the expedition against the Riff pirates is to be post-
poned to the spring ; but that the Government
proposes to act energetically against Mexico. The
Queen,and Royal Family had arrived at Astorga.
The semi-official Correspondancia says that the
Government is about to carry out the measure for
the sale of civil property. It has been stated that
the responsible editor of the Diario, who was under-
going imprisonment for a libel on M. Collantes, ex-
Minister of Finance—the libel being that he had
been guilty of peculation—had been pardoned.

CANADA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

This afternoon the Canadian Royal mail steam
ship Anglo-Saxon, Captain Borland, arrived in the
Mersey, from Quebec, with the usual Canadian

mails.
The Anglo-Saxon sailed from Quebec on the
11th inst., and has brought 140 passengers, but no

specie.
Off Belleisle, on the morning of the 14th, the
Anglo-Saxon passed several icebergs.
The political and s ocial news by this arrival is
unimportant.

QUEBEC, SEPT. 11.

Although most of the timber that was destined
for this market has arrived considerably early, and
shows a great falling off in white fir, especially
from what was measured last year, there is still the
same dulness and apathy in the market that has
been apparent since the latter end of June, and we
cannot give any encouragement to holders unless a
change takes place for the better in England, or
unless our full float be larger than is anticipated.

following names were sent up this day for super-
annuation :—Mr. J. Kluth, leading man of the rig-
gers, who has been 45 years in the yard; Mr. W.
Edgcumbe, master rigger ; Mr. Burton, master
ropemaker ; Mr. Cheeseman, foreman of the mast-
house ; Mr. Smith, master painter ; Mr. Sturgeon,
leading man of the boat-house. Charles Pope, Esq.,
master attendant, retires on Nov. 1, on a pension of
12s. 6d. per day. He was appointod master atten-
dant at this yard on Nov. 5, 1853.
It appears by recent advices from Vancouver's
Island that Governor Douglas, taking into conside-
ration the high prices of the necessaries of life, and
to prevent the crews of her Majesty's ships being
tempted by the gold mania to desert their salt, has
most generously, and it is thought wisely, taken
upon himself (subject to the approval of the home
government) to double the pay of all the officers,
seamen, and marines of the Royal navy employed
urn the shores of British Columbia. This is only
right and just, and need be no additional burden on
the resources of the mother country, as the double
pay in the shape of colonial allowance can with
propriety be charged to the revenue arising from
the duties, &c., of British Columbia. The services
of her Majesty's ships just at this time must be
most valuable, and the employment trying and
severe. There is a perfect exodus from California,
and at this time private letters estimate some 50,000
emigrants in British territory, 20,000 in Vancouver's
Island, waiting for the waters of Frazer River to
fall.

COUNTBY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—SEPT. 21.
Our market to-day was very much ruled by the reroi
from Mark-lane yesterday. Millers bought with,caution,
and prices may be considered lower on the week about le
to 2d por bushel ; but good and sound stroll°. flour, Iwo;
which the demand mainly was, could not be'had at an:
eheaper rate, as the consumers prefer the best quality.
bread, and, while they have money, will have a prim
article. Barley, beans, and peas do not move, but they
ar
relatively much higher than the great staple. wheat. Goo
oats and oatmeal sustain late prices,

LEEDS—SEPT. 12.
With a fair show of wheat the trade assumes a little mor
firmness for old and fine qualities of new than were shaow
last week, which make about the rates of Friday. Dnr,
iferior sorts very difficult to quit. Barley ;vithout altera-
tion. Beans and other articles firm at late prices.

THE ARMY.

Sir E. Lugard arrived at Teignmouth from India
on Friday. The gallant general, who is in excel-
lent health and spin ts, considering the great fatigue
and onerous and difficult duties which his late com-
mand in India imposed upon him, paid a short visit
to his relatives at Exeter on Monday, and returned
to Teignmouth with his wife and family the same
afternoon.

---Orders were yesterday issued from the Horse
Guards to the effect that the authorities had deter-
mined on sending about 2,000 additional troops to
India during the ensuing month, the number se-
lected for each presidency being as follows—viz.,
Calcutta, 1,056 men, selected from various cavalry
and infantry regiments, 786 of whom are to embark
at Gravesend on the 6th of Oct., and 270 from Cork
on the 9th of Oct. ; for Madras, 310 men, 176 to
embark at Gravesend, and the remainder at Cork,
on the Bth of Oct. ; for Bombay, 300 men, to em-
bark at Gravesend on the 7th of Oct., mid 90 men
for Kurrachee, to embark from the same place.
Vessels will be taken up by the Council of India for
the conveyance of the reinforcements, on Friday
next, at the East India House.
For several days past a party of non-commissioned
officers of the Royal Engineers, from Chatham have
been engaged at the London Docks in superintend-
ing the embarkation of stores on board the Thames
City, the vessel which conveys the expedition of
Royal Sappers and Miners to British Columbia.
The most ample care has been taken by the autho-
rities to provide for the comfort and health of the
men. It is intended to lay down a railroad in
British Columbia, in order to facilitate the opera-
tions of the Royal Engineers : and a sufficient
quantity of iron has been put on board to make
several miles of railway. It is also intended to
erect a church in the new colony, the works of
which will be executed by the Royal Engineers,
and a party of non-commissioned officers have been
sent from Brompton barracks to Erith Church for
the purpose of making a working plan of that
structure. The expedition is under orders to leave
Chatham this morning, the whole force numbering
135 non-commissioned officers and men, under
the command of Col. R. C. Moody, Capt. J. M.
Grant, Capt. IL It. Luard, Lieut. A. R. Lempriere,
and Lieut. H. S. Palmer. Two detachments, both
in charge of officers, have already proceeded to
British Columbia by the overland route, and will
join the remainder of the expedition on their arrival.
The Lady Jocelyn screw steamer, Capt. Bird, em-
barked the officers and men of the 99th Regt. at the
dockyard jetty, Portsmouth, on Monday, for Cal-
cutta. Yesterday morning, at high water, the Lady
Jocelyn proceeded to Spithead, and after taking in
her ammunition, &c., immediately left for her desti-
nation. Both the Lady Jocelyn and her sister ship
the Calcutta are fitted with Stevens s patent air
furnace doors.

THE TRIAL OF FATHER CONWAY.

The trial of the Rev. Mr. Conway, as the result
of the Attorney-General's application for a change
of venue, will take placa in the city of Dublin be-
fore a special jury of the county at the close of the
next sittings, subject, however, to a motion, for which
notice has been served, whether the Common Law
Procedure Act does not apply equally to criminal
and civil proceedings. Delay seems to be the grand
object of the defence, and to achieve this end it is
abundantly evident that no stone will be left un-
turned, in the hope that in the chapter of politicai
chances something may turn up that will le +d to
the rescue of Mr. Conway from the grasp of the
Attorney-Genera'.

---
Messrs. Pellatt and Co., glass manufacturers, 58 and
51, Baker-street, displayed an illumination formed solely
of brilliant lapidary cut spangle dross, the centre com-
partment having a wreath of laurel leaves in green
spangles, tied with a bow of riband in blue spangles ;
over this a star of the Order of the Gartar. On the right

spangles, five feet high, inscribed with the Royal motto
of Prussia, " Gott mit uns" (" God with us"). On the
left was a brilliant shield to match, on which were
painted the Royal arms of Great Britain and Ireland.

NAPLES.

A letter from Paris says, " The King of Naples
has just given a fresh proof of his paternal affec-
tion for his subjects. The Governor of Basilicata
has forwarded to his most Catholic) and unchristian
Sovereign a report of the conduct of the politi-
cal and other prisoners wgo were confined in the
prison of Potenza during the earthquake, and
the course which he had pursued on that
eccassion. The unfortunate creatures, seeing
the walls rocking to and fro, and large fissures
gaping in their dungeons, cried aloud to be loosed
from the impending danger. But the terrible cala-
mity, which might have softened even a Poor-law
Commissioner, or Hebrew usurer, into something
like Christianity, had a contrary effect on the Nea-
politan sbirri, who responded to their supplications
by firing on the unhappy prisoners, who cried out
still louder to be released from the walls which
threatened to bury them under their ruins. The
governor at last promised them in the King's name
that they should be transferred from the prison of
Potenza to those of Salerno and Santa Maria. But
the most Catholic King has refused to ratify this
proviso made in his name, and the 800 prisoners are
still condemned to be immured within those walls,
which threaten to fall upon them and bury them
under their ruins."

LAST WEEK'S GALES.

DOVER, Sunday.—The extraordinary run of fine
weather and smooth sea passages across the channel
were interrupted last week by a terrific gale, which,
commencing on Wednesday, lasted for three days.
The Belgian Government mail packet Diamond, on
returning to Ostend on Wednesday night with the
mails, had a very narrow escape. She encountered
the whole fury of the storm from N.N. W. to N.,
and in attempting to enter Ostend, was struck by
successive seas, and was driven into the back of the
pier. She, however, backed her engines out at full
speed, and ran for the Scheldt, where she remained
until the weather moderated. The English mail-
packet Ondine crossed to Dover from Ostend the
same night in the same weather, and sustained
some slight damage to her fore deck house by the
striking of a heavy sea. On the same day (Wednes-
day), the South-Eastern Company's packet, Queen
of the Belgians, in crossing from Dover to Calais,
washed away her after bulwarks, binnacle, and com-
pass. On Thursday an English schooner laden with
iron was driven ashore to the westward of Calais
pier. Part of the crew, including the master, tried
to land, but were swamped and drowned ; the re-
mainder, a man and a boy, were seen lashed to the
main rigging. Volunteers from her Majesty's steam.
tender Foreigner, attempted to go out in the life-
boat to their rescue, but in vain. At length the
life-boat was towed out by the South-Eastern
packet, but the boat was stove in, and the men were
sent over to Dover in the steam vessel, and were sent
back again in the mail packet Queen, at 11.30 p.m.,
together with Manby's apparatus. On Friday
morning the two Calais life-boats having been
rendered useless, a life-boat belonging to one of
the General Steam Navigation Company's vessels
manned by English volunteers reached the wrecked
schooner, and saved the poor fellows, wbo had
been in the rigging twenty-six hours. A dog that
was on board the schooner reached the shore alive
by swimming through the surf. The English mail
service between Dover and Calais, notwithstanding
the gales, has been performed uninterruptedly ;
but the Belgian night mails, via Ostend, have
missed four times during the week. The weather
is now as mild and the sea as smooth as during the
passages of the Royal visitors to the happy wed-
ding. Her Majesty's steam yachts and tenders
lying here are the Black Eagle, Master Commander
Petley ; Banshee, Master Commander Williams ;
Fire Queen, Master Commander Paul ; and Vivid,
Master Commander Allen. His Majesty the King
of the Belgians is expected to arrive here
on Tuesday next to proceed via Calais on his return
to Brussels. The most zealous respect has been

paid to the illustrious Royal personages on em-
barking at Calais and landing at Dover, during the
last ten days, especially at Calais, where the time
of the expected arrival of her Majesty's Royal
guests has not been made a fussy or important
secret.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT.

The King Williamstown estate of Mr. Vincent
Scully has been purchased by private contract for
9,5001. The lands comprise the model farm and
the village of King Williamstown, with all the
Government improvements, which had been some
time since sold by the Crown.

FOREIGN TRADE OF DUBLIN.
Onoif the Dublin trade reports of this morning.
supplies the following information :
"The foreign trade of Dublin during the past year
exhibits an increase to a considerable extort over that of
the preceding 12 months, and if the comparison is
extended to 1855 it will be seen that the advance in the
numbers and tonnage of the vessels both entered
inwards and cleated outwards is upwards of 50
per cent. In the foreign ships engaged in the trade
there was in 1857 a ver y great increamu ; in the pre-
ceding year there was in this I r inch of traffic a
falling off. Russia, Prussia, and Denmark all show a
great increase. In 1856 the number of arrivals from the
first-named country WaB 11, of which s-x were from p.-)rts
in the Baltic, and five from those in the Black Sea. In
1857 the number from Northern Russqk was sigh*, and
from the Black Sea 25. The vessels from Prussia in-
creased from 26 to 39, and those from Denmark from 11
to 31 From France there is an increase on the year from
30 to 44, from Portugal the number is greater by five,
from Belgium by seven, and frim the Tui lost,
dominions ny four. There is an increase also from
Norway and Au,tria. Of places from which le•t year
there were a, r:yals, while in the former year there were
none, may be enumerated Sweden, Meckl.oburg, Ham-
burg, Greece, the 114,,uritius, end Honduras. On the
other hand there were in 1856 cargoes received from the
Azores the Papal States, the lonian Islands, Syria and
Palestine, Morocco, and Prince Edward's I land, while
last year none were received from any of these places.
There is also a falling off from Holland, the Channel
Islands, TuQcany, and Egypt. Toe numbers are alike is
both periods from Norway, Trinidad, Demerara, Cuba,
Porto Rico, and Peru. From Canada and Nova Semis
there is an increa.ie, but from New Brunswick a falling
off. From Barbadoes the number of vess,ls is nearly
the earns in both years, being in 1856 21, and i❑ 1857
23. From China there were last year two vessels ; iu
1856 there was but one.
