ROYAL MARINES.

The whole of the Portsmouth division marched
yesterday to Farehatu in heavy marching order,
headed by their commandant, Colonel Menzies,
Captain Augustus Dovor Lyddon Farrant, of the
Portsmouth division, is under orders for the island of
Ascension.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 3.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Terrible, Captain Hope, bound to Lisbon, which left
Spithead on Tuesday,.arrived in the Sound about two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and in going between the
Devil's Point and Mount Edgcumbe shore ran on the
shoal off IVilderness Point, it being then (3 o'clock)
about dead low water, and there remained ten
minutes, until, aided by the young flood, she was
forced off by her own engines. She then proceeded
up harbour and went alongside the coal hulk, near the
western mud. On board the officers expected that
the Terrible would be docked to-day, but those con-
versant with the capability of the docks at present
available in this arsenal, state that front the narrow.
ness of the dock entrances a paddle-steamer of the
dimensions of the Terrible cannot be admitted until
next spring tides, the latter end of next week, when,
after being lightened, there will be sufficient water to
float her paddle-boxes over the pier ends.
The delay and expense necessarily resulting from
this accident are to be ascribed to an evil the removal
of which we have often advocated—we allude to the
German Itick, which lies off Devil's Point. There is
every probability that in seeking to avoid this rock on
the eastern side of the entrance the Terrible ran
aground on the western shore.

The amount of damage done to Government bps
alone during the last five years is considerably more
than the entire cost of removing this dangerous ob-
struction to the entrance of Hatnoaze, and it is to be
hoped that the Board of Admiralty will at once take
measures for its removal.

The Terrible is to be paid advance of wages here.
On entering the harbour she was 57 hands short of
her complement. It is stated that the greatest rate of
steaming got out of her on her passage from Ports-
mouth was nine and a half knots.

Her Majesty's frigate Arethusa was taken out o
dock and masted yesterday; she will probably EQ. pu
in commission on Saturday.

The Jackall steam-vessel went round the Eddystone
yesterday to try her engines; she started at 12 A.M.
and returned about 3 r.m.

PROTECTIONIST MEETING. KNARESBOROUGH,
JAN. 3.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting, for the pur
pose of petitioning Parliament iu favour of a restoration
of protection, was held at this place. There was a
♦ery large assembly of persons of all politics present,
and the meeting was of a very influential character.
The chair was taken by Joseph Dent, Etq., late high-
sheriff of this county. The proceedings were of a most
irregular and boisterous character, probably unequalled
by any political meeting which has previously taken
place even in this locality, notorious for its political
excesses. From first to last nothing like order could
be preserved. The Free-traders assembled in very
strong force, completely overpowering in boll num-
bers and energy the parties tri,,ndly to the object of
the meeting; and the result was a complete route of the
Protectionists, and indescribable confusion, amidst
which the chairman deserted his post, and the proceed-
ings terminated without any resolu'ion whatever being
put to the vote.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN COVENTRY-STREET,
HAYMARKET.—Last night, about eleven o'clock, a fire
of a serious nature, attended with a considerable destruc-
tion cf property, happened at No. 4, Coventry-street,
Haymarket, in the tenure of Messrs. Creeso and Co.
(late Laidlaw and Rldweli), Court boot and shoemakers.
The fire commenced in the manufactory at the rear of
the front warehouse, which was of equal height with the
buildings in Coventry and Princes-streets. Some of
Mr. Creese's family, it appears, were the first to make
the discovery, and although they raised an immediate
alarm, in the course of a few minutes the whole of the
factory became a general mass of fire. With as little
delay as possible two escapes belonging to the St.
James's Society attended, followed by the engines of
the London brigade, St. Ann's parish, West of England,
and several othere. The flames by that time had ob
' tained the entire possession of the factory, and had tra-
velted into the front warehouse, also threatening de-
struction to everything around. Fortunaiely the New
River CompanN's mains yielded an abundant supply of
water, from which the machines were worked with full
vigour; but in spite of the exertions of the firemen they
V. ere unr.ble to get the flames under before half past
twelve o'clock this morning, and not until the pretuis,s
in which the misfortune occurred were levelled with the
ground, the valuable stock tu trade in the front ware-
house teriondy damaged by fire, end the premises of
Mr.-Taylor, stivi, ncr, Mr. Sin t zurn, builder, and several
others tevr:roly irjurcd by fire, water, anti hasty removal.
The total damage very considerable.

THE COUNTRY MARKET.
EIRIIINGRAM, JAN. 3.—At Gloucester market or. the
29th English wheat was Is to 2s per quarter dearer,
but no advance worth notice could be obtained on
foreign. Barley unaltered in value, with an improved
demard. Fine oats inquired for, and secondary quali-
ties wete less pressed for sale. On beans and peas the
turn was again in favour of the buyer. During the
present week a lair business has been done in wheat, at
an advance of is per quarter. Barley finds buyers to
some extent, at former prices. Oats 6d per quarter
dearer. Beans and peas sell slowly, but no further re-
duction has been submitted to. At this day's market
there was a good supply of wheat from the farmers,
which sold readily at is per quarter over the currency
of this day se'unight. Barley found buyers at former
pries. Fine oats inquired for, but other qualities still
'neglected. Beaus and peas scarcely maintained their

Town by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Major Welch, ?
Wellington-bridge, Hobart Town, writes that Hollowel,g,
Pills and Ointment enjoy high reputation in Van Diemen "
Land ; he speaks of one man who for yeas had been under the,
treatment of the medical practitioners, and was discharged
from the hospital as incurable, and had become so miserabil
emaciated and weak that he could only move about with the
assistance of persons supporting him. In this condition
la
commenced using these medicines, which have so comp!et,e_
renovated his health that he is now become a stout, healtnli
looking man, and his cure he solely attributes to the use at
Holloway's Pills and Ointment. Sold by all druggists, and a
