FIFTY POUNDS REWARD.
TIM hard substance obtained by pressure from the
Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA-
-.NT COMPOSITE CANDLES ; and, as EDWARD PRICE and
Ar hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under
them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are
entirely different from the Patent ones, or, that the imitators are
thfhnsel ve gi the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect
ept ng
s against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE
ZICO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any
ikatan or other person, who may give such information respecting
Parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The
Zre of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not
rie prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co.

'Med in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom.
p,The Candles are sow so wellknown to the Public, that it is hardly
pav"sarY to state here that they barn more brilliantly than the best

uinto account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may

PORTSMOUTU, AUGUST 18.—Much excitement -has
prevailed at this port since the receipt of the intelligeae
on Friday last, announcing the bombardhient of Tangiers
by the Drench, and numerous rumours were afloat im-
mediately as to what would be the ultimate measures
adopted by the British Government. One circumstance
is stated as certain, and which looks like preparation for
an emergency—namely, that an inquiry has been sent to
this and other ports to ascertain how early six sail-of-
the-line could be at Spithead ready for sailing orders.
It is also certain that the experimental brigs will not be
commissioned until the matters now before her Majegy's
Government respecting the French agressions are settled.
The statement in an evening paper of Wednesday last,
that the above squadron would be commissioned on, the
following day, it is almost needless to say is without art
foundation. The rumour that Captain A. L. Col ry had
commissioned the steam-sloop Firebrand, to take the
command of the experimental squadron, and had hoisted
a Commodore's broad-pendant, is equally false. It is.
however, exceedingly marvellous that upwards of 3.00
able-bodied efficient seamen and petty officers should be
waiting about, which they have been for some months,
in expectation of the daily commissioning of the.new brig
squadron. Many of them are reduced to the greatest
distress, and many, tired of such wanton delay, kitty*
left the port for other employment. We are itSormed
upon excellent authority that men are being entered at
Tower-hill for general service. We hope the report is
true ; and we trust that orders will be immediately
issued for entering such hands as are now waiting about
for ships on board the Victory, in ordet to be ready for
draughting into other ships on any emergency.
The Collingwood, 80, Capt. Smart, is still at Spithead,
awaiting sailing orders. Iler officers are in doubt:as to
whether they will sail for Otaheite or Tangiers.
The Vindictive, 50, is in dock overhauling, and silk
it is asserted, be brought forward for re-commission with
all speed.
The royal yacht Vctoria and Albert is now repaiteid
ready for sea. To-morrow she will proceed round the
Isle of Wight with Admiral Sir George Cockburn on
board, to try her steam and canvass sped, together
with the working of her new machinery ad tubtilar
boilers.

The Illustrious, 72, Commodore Sharp, was at nail-
fax on the 3d inst., all well, last from Bermuda. Vice-
Admiral Sir Charles Adam had struck hii flag-on the
Pyramus receiving ship, and hoisted it'on Ward the
Illustrious.

The Hornet, 6, Lieutenant•Commandei R. B. Miter,
and the Griffon,3, Lieutenant-Commander C. Jenkins,
are ordered home from Halifax.

The Penelope, 22, steam frigate, Commodore Jones,
was at St. Helena on the 27th of June, with the Tctri-
toise store and guard ship, from Ascension, to obtain as
much water as they could stow,' that essential being dis-
tressingly scarce at Ascension.
The Iris, 26, Captain Mundy, was at Symond's Bay
on the 2d f June, en route to Ching,
The Queen, 110, Captain W. F. Martin, is being
rapidly fitted for sea in the harbour, She will, it is ex-
pected, leave for Spithead next week. Whether sha
will sail from Spithead to Sheerness, or for a fo*ign
station, has become, since the laselews from Tangyiers, a
matter of ' considerable doubt and discussion. Her com-
plement of hands (950) is nearly complete.
The Thunder, 6, Commander Barnett, sailed onThure-
day for Chatham, to be paid off.
The Vestal, 26, Captain C. Talbot, awaits orders in
the River Plate. _ _

The Bittern, 16, Commander Edmund Peel.—By
letters just received, we are informed that Midshipman
Radcliffe and two seamen of this ship were unfortu-
nately drowned at Natal, by the upsetting of the cutter,
in the act of going ashore at this port.
The Cressy, a new ship of 80 guns, upon the plan of
Messrs. Chatfield, Reed, and Creuze, the Committee of
Naval Architecture, is ordered to be built at Chatham.
The following are to be her dimensions:—
