FISH.RIARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

There was an exceedingly limited supply of fish at mar-
ket this morning. A few baskets of Soles and Turbots,
which arrived by land carriage from Dover, were the only
kinds of fresh fish in the market until a late hour, when a
quantity of Salmon arrived, being part of a cargo of 100
boxes from Berwick, which were lying at Gravesend, un-
able to get up the river, but the vessel having been up-
wards of five days out, the fish were far from being good.
The following were the prices :
Prime Turbot, each los. Od. to 20s. Od,
Finest Salmon, per lb. 0 0 1 6
Ditto Grilse 0 0 1 3
Salmon Trout 0 0 0 10
Sturgeon 0 5 0 8
Fine Soles, per three pairs 5 0 8 0
Fine Cad-fish, each
Live Flounders, per quartern

Shrimps, per gallo?
Pray

Fine ...wns, per lb.
Best Common Oysters, per bushel
Natives 2O 0 28 0

No particular variation in the pricer of other fish.

There is a vast difference between a man of
business and a man of bustle. The squirrel in his cage
makes a great stir, but does not get a pace forward.
GREAT MALVERN, SEPT. 9.—This de-
lightful and romantic village, so justly named by the late
Dr. Baillie; the Montpelier of England, from the purity of
its air and water, is at present thronged with visitors, in.•
eluding some of the nobility of the first rank. The Earl
and. Countess Gower have been staying here with their
family for the last fortnight, at the Foley Arms. On
Friday evening the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's and
suite arrived here in three carriages and four, and pro-
ceeded to the Wells Hotel. We expect to be very gay.

The South-western part of Hampshire appears
to have been a scene of unusual mirth and gaiety last week.
At Romsey there was a grand music meeting ; at Fording-
bridge great feasting and rejoicing on the coming of age of
Mr. /tyre Coote ; and at Christchurch similar rejoicings
on the birth of a grandson and heir to the estates of Sir
George Irison Tapps, in that neighbourhood.

Colonel Fanshawe, from the Ordnance Office,
is now engaged in surveying Hobbs' Point, near his Ma-
jesty's Dock-yard, Pembroke, and the ground leading to it,
for a mail-road, preparatory to his reporting as to its eli-
gibility for a packet station for his Majesty's Post-office
steam-packets, to ply from to Dunmore, instead of landing
the mail, and shipping it, as heretofore, at Milford. He
also has in view the surveying and making out ground fez
fortification for the better protection of Milford Harbour
and the Royal Naval Arsenal, with its most valuable con-
tents. It is also in contemplation, since the Lord High
Admiral's visit, to annex the Old Fort to the Yard, so as
to bring it withinside, to form itewc4tern boundary, which
will be a great addition and improvement, and the car-
rying it into effect be attended with but little expence,
as the ground already belongs to Government.—Bristol

We are glad to find that the differences which
have arisen on the subject of the command of the Western
District, are not likely to recur. As Major-Gen. Sir
James Lyon, lately leaving Portonouth on public leave,
announced in orders that Colonel Phillot, of the Royal
Regiment of Artillery, would assume the command of the
district, and that the reports of the garrison of Portsmouth
would be made to Colonel Moncrieffe, of the Royal Marines
—this anomaly, Colonel Moncrieffe being senior officer to
Colonel Phillot, was attended by unpleasant events.—
Colonel Moncrieffe, in consequence of his authority being
disputed, placed the Quartermaster-General of the district
(Colonel Ward) under arrest ; and the whole case has
been submitted to his Royal Highness the Lord High Ad-
miral and to his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, 'who
have, it is understood, decided that Colonel Moncrieffe, of
the Royal Marines, being next in seniority to Major-Ge-
neral'Sir James Lyon, properly succeeded to the command
of the district, in the absence of Major-General Sir James
Lyon.
