PORTSEA, lean 4.—On Tuesday evening last, about a
quarter before 3, the Ramilies sailed out of the harbour.
Having been the first ship of her size that has for a long time
left the harbour, the spectators were numerous. The
beach at Gosport was covered with genteel people, and the
Common Hard (off where she was moored) was crowded to
see her get under way. She sailed out In a very noble

fitting oat here, took her roend ; but she is to be command-d
by Captain Brave. Strange, yet true it is, that such is the
scarcity of Seamen, that her crew on this occasion c ansisted
most of lent men. The Ramides is a fine 71 gun ship. She
hes undergone a thorough repair in the Dock-yard. and is
in good flehting condition should she be called upon. The

We are sorry to say that in consequence of unhappy
disputes between the masters and operative spinners, al-
most all the cotton mills in Glasgow and its immediate
neighbourhood are shut this morning (Monday, in-
stant). In the mean time large erections in the different
departments of the cotton manufacture, particularly spin-
ning and weaving mills, are getting up all around. and
vere extensive specolations were made in both the Liver-
Pool and Glasgo v cotton markets last week.—(Glareote
Herald.)
The improvement of the grounds between Queen-street
and Heriot-row, has been accomplished in a way highly cre-
ditable to the public spirit of the surrounding proprietors,
as well as to their good taste and discernment. The vacant
space which bad so 1 z.ng disgraced the neighbourhood, is now
rotated into a tasteful shrubbery ; and the fence, formerly
consisting on one side of a broken dirty paling, and on the
other of a dungeon-like wall, is now replaced by a most
handsome parapet and railing.—(Edin. Star.)
Preparations are at present making for the completing of
St. Patrick's-square, labourers being employed in excavat-

stand the stances have been feued at twelve shillings per
