The first paper-read was one by Mr. Ancniu.A.Ln -„, of11
" On a graphic method of correcting the deviatt.raVe
ship's compass." Mr. Smith had numerous fro tangy
illustrative of his subject, which he referred to o.°7tse, ta-
to time. He alluded, at some length, to the inWirretl
of the subject treated of his in his paper, and retetio:;
one which had been read by Dr. Scoresby, to the to to,"
on Saturday. He then proceeded to demone_i'l. 011,4-
views which he held, and stated that the resukvitite.'a;

culated. He subsequently repaired to the Caucasus, where
recently, although upwards of 60 years old, he married
a rich heiress, and was now living in affluence and ease.
In all these mountain districts there was a considerable
alertness in the movements of the people, which was par-
ticularly astonishing to the traveller, until he ascertained
the necessity of alacrity if he would save his life. The
Russian army in the Caucasus, in 1846, amounted to
170,000, 150,000 of whom were stationed on the northern
division, to the left of Stavrapol, the remainder being
posted at Tiflis, the capital of Georgia. He gave a gra-
phic description of the dangers of travellers in these
mountain provinces, which, however, he hoped would ere
long be opened to the commerce of this country. (Cheers.)
Alluding next to the IJlburz mountains, he said, they once
played aconspicuous part in the mythology of the ancients,
it being supposed that it was on them that Prometheus
was bound. It was an important stronghold of the Rus-
sians, and was regularly guarded by them, and had
hitherto resisted every attempt to dislodge them, although
nine years ago it was nearly taken by Schamyl, who
made a sudden attack upon it with 15,000 men. In his
(Mr, Seymour's) opinion, he would have succeeded, had it
not been for the fact that the Circassian chief narrowly
escaped assassination; but not, however, without receiving
severe wounds. With regard to the language of the
Circassians, he described it as more like that of birds than
men—the nearest illustration he could give being, "Wsh,
wsh, wsh." (Laughter.) Having noticed some of the
prominent points in Schamyl's history, referring espe-
cially to his " hair-breadth 'scapes," which are now
/natters of history, Mr. Seymour made reference to the
Georgians and Lesghins, valorous mountain 'tribes, who,
by the coercive measures of the Russians, were now
arrayed against us; whereas, by a little management, they
might, in his opinion, have been our powerful allies in
the struggle which was being carried to their provinces. In
'illustration of this, he stated that he remembered being told
by a Georgian prince who once went out with an expedition
into that country with a Russian battalion—that on ap-
proaching the mountain fastnesses, the Lesghins called out
to the Georgians, "Why do you come to fight us ; it is the
Russians we want to fight. You may fire upon us, but
we will not touch a Georgian." They allowed the Geor-
gian militia—which, being brave and ardent warriors, were
always put in advance of the Russian troops—to pass with-
out molestation, and they then completely destroyed one
remnant of the battalion composed of Russians. With
proper management, therefore, he thought they could have
obtained the co-operation of these varied populations
of the mountains, who had nn earnest love for their
country, a thorough detestation of their Russian con-
querors, and a firm belief in their ultimate deliverance from
their yoke. They all spoke the three languages—Persian,
Turkish, and Arabic—and he regretted that a person
understanding these languages, and acquainted with the
country, had not been sent out by the British Govern-
ment ; but that wgentlenian had recently been dispatched

after the results of the government contract is known.
For good pork full prices are readily made, but there is
no improvement in the prospects for ordinary and inferior
qualities. At the public sales on Tuesday there was a
fair demand for bacon, and a considerable quantity found
buyers at steady rates. Shoulders were also in improved
request. For lard the demand has increased, and the
sales for the week are reported at 200 tons, chiefly to con-
sumers. Extreme prices are made for fine qualities of
cheese, _ and the arrivals are cleared off weekly. The

season for grease is nearly over.
SEPT: 25.—There has been a large business transacted
in butter at full prices since our last report, good useful
kinds, such as Clonmel, &c., at 92s to 945, have been
most in request ; the import is moderate, and the
high rates paying in Ireland cause holders to be
firm at the quotations. Waterford, Carrick, and Clon-

mel, 96s to 98s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 94s to
96s ; Sligo and Limerick, 884 to 92s ; and pickled Cork,
2nds, 88s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland, from
the 16th to the 22nd instant, both inclusive, 9,901 firkins,
100 kegs, 404 crocks, 333 boxes, 108 barrels butter, 103
bales baton, 1 hhd. 4 tierces hams.
