THE FLEETS IN THE MEDITER

RAKE AN.

GIBRALTAR, JULY 21.—Nothing very remarkable has
taken place in this part of the world since my last communi-
cation. The squadron of the Prince de Joinville has been at
Cadiz, or the neighbourhood, where it remains still; the
Prince himself having once returned to Tangier, and having
communicated with his Consul, went back to the squadron.
It appears that Mr. hay, our Consul-General in Barbary,
who left Tangier in the Vesuvius, for Mogador, on his way
to Morocco, as I mentioned in my last, was obliged to stay
at Mogador till the Emperor's permission for his proceeding
slmuld arrive, for without such permission nobody can be'
allowed to travel.

The Rubis French steamer returned within the last few
days from Mogador, and brings the news that Mr. Hay did
not set out for Morocco till the 10th, and therefore it may be
yet some days before anything important is heard.
In the meantime it must be considered as looking well
that the Moorish Consul • here received a letter from Mo-
rocco, vid Tangier, informing him that, for the purpose of
being nearer the Algerine frontier, and therefore having his
orders better obeyed by his' people there, the Emperor was
about to set out immediately for Fez and Mequinez, the one
being but a half-day's journey from the other, and the latter
more properly the rendezvous for large assemblages of troops
in that part of the emire, and it may now be reckoned upon
that he is upon his journey. Though the distance from Mo-
rocco to Fez be but nine days' journey, the Emperor will pro-
bably make it twenty, as he only travels for three or four
hours on each day.
The Moorish Consul states, that on such movements the
Cadis of the different districts furnish their quotas of cavalry,
so that he thinks the Emperor will have nothinc, short of,
100,000 of that force at Fez, and Mequinez, 5,000, being
splendid blacks, quite superior to those usually seen, and
such as astonished the officers of this garrison, who saw some
of them at 'rangier some years ago.
The Moorish cavalry are always quite independent of a
commissariat ; indeed, every man is his own commissariat,
and manages matters thus for himself:—Preparatory to the
march he gets a quantity of wheat toasted by his family, this
pounded with a portion of dates and butter, is formed into a
mass, of which about 14lbs. are put into a prepared leather
bag, which he slings on his shoulder; and this quantity an-
swers for his consumption for 20 days.
It seems an exaggeration to speak of 100,000 cavalry,
unless it be considered that a young man of 30 is often the
father of 10 boys, each brought up to horse and long gun
from an early age ; indeed, a boy mastering a horse at the age
of eight is common.
The following ships of war are in the bay of Gibraltar:—
Her Majesty's ships Caledonia, Albion, and Warspite.
The Danish frigates Gefion and Thetis.
The Norwegian frigates Freia and Josephine, and a sloop
of war.
The Norwegian frigate Josephine has the Prince Oscar on
board. •

THE NEW ASYLUM FOR INFANT

ORPHANS.

The first election took place on Monday last, at the
Hall of Commerce, and the friends of Liberal principles,
who have seceded from the "exclusive institution,"
rallied in large numbers, and with much spirit, round
the New Asylum. The object of the two
institutions might be thought the same, but there
is this important difference :—The one receives
children of all denominations to educate them accord-
ing to the strictest discipline of the Church of Eng-
land ; and the other, while giving religious instruction,
imposes nothing which is not common to Chris-
tian faith and practice, reducing it in all its sim-
plicity to the capacity of the mind of a child. At eleven
o'clock, John Wilks,Esq., was moved to the chair, in
the temporary absence of the Lord Mayor. He said,
that-it was a source of great delight to him that the
Chief Magistrate of the City of London had recognised
the demands of the great principle of religious liberty as
connected with the very existence of this second institu-
tion for the relief of the infant orphan; and that,
with Christian feeling, he had desired to become associated
with a charity thus based upon a noble and catholic
foundation. He (Mr. Wilks) felt that he need say no-
thing to urge to vigorous effort and generous subscrip-
tions of money the numerous friends around him. The
Rev. Dr. Reed declared the poll to be open. At two
o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived ; and, expressing
his regret that he had not been present at the
opening of the election, urged upon all present to
be active in pressing the distinctive claims of
the new Charity upon the notice of the true
friends of the orphan in the City of London and
throughout the country, feeling persuaded, as he
did, that the public required but to be aware of Facts, to
induce them to support so worthy and righteous a cause.
Dr.: Reed announced the names of the five success-
ful candidates, one of whom had come in under peculiar
circumstances, having been withdrawn from another
charity, voluntarily throwing up 8,000 votes upon con-
scientious principles. Votes of thanks -having been
passed to the Lord Mayor, Lord Dudley Stuart, David
Salornons, Esq., and others, the meeting was dissolved.

RISE IN VALUE OF GROUND NEAR GLASGOW.—
On Thursday week the lands of Stobcross, to the west of
Finnieston, and extending from the Clyde northward to near
Dumbarton-road, were sold by public roup at the price of 3s.
per square yard, imperial measure. These lands extend to
about 63 Scotch or about 80 imperial acres, which being
about 387,000 square yards, makes the price amount to some-
where about 58,0001.; but as the purchaser pays the auction
duty, which will be about 1,0771., as well as the half of the
conveyance stamp, the price will actually amount to upwards
of 60,0001. We understand that these lands were purchased
by the late Mr. Phillips (by whose trustees they have been
'sold), in the year 1817, for about 3,7004 making a rise in
value of upwards of 561)004—Scotch .174fortnere Gazette.
