SCILLY", JAN. 13.—A vc-sel was lost on Sunday
night the 14th inst. during a strong gale in Rosavier,
one of the most ~.estern rocks in these Islands ; elle
appears to have been snow rigged, mainmast fished,
with painted posts ; the top of the foremast is about
three or four feet above water at low tide; she is
supposed to hare a heavy cargo, \rhich prevents the
hull from rising. Some sails or pieces have been
sa%-ed marked P. Doyle, London, and others, Hill
and Kirkpatrick, sail-makers, London ; the wreck
was not discovered until the 6th. A great deal of
wreck has been fallen in. with near the Wolf Rock,
and on a piece of stern was marked New Jane, of
Scarborough; and it is reported that the masts of a
vessel hare been seen above water close to the said
rock.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TICIILVE 0' CEOPK.

The report which was so industriously circulated
yesterday afternoon, of the Clerk to a West-end
Banker Laving absconded, and whose defalcations
were stated at an enormous stun, seems to have
dwindled down to a mere trifle this morning; for
some time the rumour in question caused some sen-
sation, but it is, we are happy to hear, of no impor-
tance to the highly respectable house alluded to, and
does not exceed two or three hundred pounds. Con-
sols opened this morning at 87i 3 for account, and
851 3 for money ; not the least variation has since
taken place up to the above hour, and scarcely
business is doing ; the adjustment of the account for
the 21st inst. seems to occupy the principal attention
of the Brokers at present, and it is understood that
the Hebrew party have already carried over their ac-
counts to a considerable extent. India Bonds and
Exchequer Bills have had a rather considerable de-
cline, and both are 70 2 pm.

The Foreign Funds are in a dormant state, and
nothing in the shape of business is doing; Russian
Bonds are Psi 6; Portuguese, .531 4; Danish,
62i 31; and Brazilian, 62/ 31.
In Shares there is nothing doing.

CIRCULAR.-WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 13, 18.i.T.

have the honour to inform you that his
Majesty's Government haring taken into consilera-
tiou the Expellee of the Staff of the Militia, hare
determined to submit to Parliament a Bill for effect-
ing some reduction in that Branch of the Public Ex-
penditure.

According to tho proposed measure, tho future
Establishment retained on permanent pay at head-
platters will be for each Corps, cue Adjutant, one
Serjeant-major, one Serieant for every forty private
men, ()I.e drummer for every two companies, with
an additional drummer for each FlaFlc Company ; i❑
addition to winch, in Regiments, consisting of eight
companies and upwards, it drum-major will be al-
lowed.

It. is the intention of Government to reduce the
following individuals, viz. :—Paymasters, Surgeons,
Quartermasters, Quartermaster-Se►jeants, the num-
ber of Serjeante exceeding the proportion of one for
40 privates, all Corporal?, the Drum-Majors of
corps consisting of less than eight companies, the
number of drum►nera exceeding one for erery two
companies, and one for each Han`.: company ; the two
fifers of each regiment or battalion.
You are therefore requested to funiish me, as
early as possible, with a correct statement of the
ages and services of all the individuals of these ranks,
with a view to pertain what reduced disembodied
allowances any of them may be deemed to be en-
titled to.

As the extent to which the proposed redaction
shall be carried into effect will depend upon the de-
termination of Parliament, it will be advisable that
no Serjeants should he discharged until such deter-
mination shall be announced; and as the claim of
the Serjeants to be pensioned is made to depend not
only upon length of service, butt upon unfitness and
infirmity, resulting from military duty, it will he
essential to ascertain, before they are discharged
whether their cases can be brought within the regu-

lations under which militia pensions are granted ; and
considering that it may be convenient to those mem-
bers of the Stuff whose presence will not he required
while the Regiments are disembodied, to be apprised
as early as possible of the present arrangement, you
will U: pleased immediately to communicate this let-
ter to the parties concerned, and acquaint them that,
from the present time, they may receive leave of ab-
sence, during which period of absence they will be
entitled to the issue of their full pay in the usual man-
ner, to the 24th June, 1829, the stoppage of Gcl.

per diem from the pay of Non-commissioeed Officers
and drummers on furlough being, in this instance,
dispensed with. I hare the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
H. HARDINGE.
