THE LAUNCH OF THE LEVIATHAN. TO TEL EDITOR O► TER REMUS. Sla,—l have read with great interest your report of the failure of the launch of the Great Eastern or Leviathan. It seems clear to me that it was caused by a needless and most uncalled for deviation from the ordinary method of launching ships. Why the old-faahioned mode of allowing the cradle to slide down a well-greased inclined plane, where the wooden surfaces are prevented from coming in con tact by grease, should have been departed from, is • question Mr. Brunel is called upon to answer. From the smallest sloop to the largest man-of-war that has ever been launched, an inclined plebe, of a slope of one foot in twelve, when lubricated with grease, has always been found to answer and to insure perfect uccess. The proportional difference betwecu the bulk and weight of the Leviathan and the Duke of Wellington is not greater than that which exists between the largest man-of-war and a small sloop or cutter. The Engineer of the Great Eastern seems to have sought to immortalise himself by a new method. Neglecting altogether a principle be has made use of most suceelly in one pert ' of his works, he has introduced it into moats. in such • manner as to frustrate his purposes. Fearful only that his ship should elide down the ways with too great a velocity, he sought to check that velocity by bringing one ►urface of iron in contact with another ander great pressure. This was the method Mr. Brunel adopted to check the revolution of his great drums, and to hold back the great Leviathan, and it was successful. Is it not astonishing that he should have felled to perceive that upon the same principle his cradles would not slide down his wavar; that the enormous premiere even of the resole& portion of the weight of the Leviathan on her ways would produce such a pres sure as not only to prevent the motion of her cradles, but even to cause the rails to imbed themeelees into the flit plates of iron at the bottom of the cradles ? It may be said, however, in answer to this objec tion, that the monster ship did move. She did ; 'but only when by the premature start, before her ways were weaved with water, the surfsce of the rails was thickly covered with blacklead. When this lubri cating material had been washed away by this rising tide, every effort made to start the ship down the inclines failed to make her budge an inch. Mr. Brunel is a railway engineer; surely he must know how absurd is the attempt to diminish friction when one surface of iron is brought in contact with another. Ilia rails were not even polished. The surfaces of the plates of iron which formed the have of the cradles, and which were intended to slide down the rails, were, as I have been told, roughly ground on a grindstone. Mr. Brunel has the satis faction of determining that a flat iron surface gliding on longitudinal railway tails cannot launch a ship, on en incline of one in twelve. In all machinery where it is intended to obviate friction, as your report truly states, iron is always made to work in some other metal. Metals c f the same kind are never brought in contact ; the neglect et this established practice has caused the failure of the launch. Whether Mr. Brunel waits for the spring tides of next month, or whether he waits for the Greek /Calends, I do not believe he will be able to force the Great Eastern down her present ways into thewater. I cannot help regretting that the skilful bailder,who has so admirably done his work in the construction of the beautiful ship, was not intrusted with her launch. I believe he would have been wise enough to have worked on well-tried principles. The failure, wlAich every well-wisher to a great and noble under taking moat regret, would not have been eau.ed by an engineering blunder, arising from a neglect of the Imes of practical meehanies.—l am, &c., A MECHANIC. MILITARY COLONIES IN INDIA. TO THE =l7Ol OF THIIII%III. Sts,—Will you allow one who has spent the greater part of his life in India, to offer the follow ing suggestion on the prospects of the British soldiers serving in India? A vast tract of land called the Deltra Dhoon, ce Talley of Debra, runs along the base of the sub- Himalayas, which is but partially cultivated. A similar tract of rich land lies to the eastward, between Gorruckpore and the Nepaul range. With the exception of a few isolated fictions, these tern• tories have no European ses. Here many thousands of European families might fled com fortable homes and useful and profitable employ ment, in a comparatively healthy and temperate climate. Daring the administration of Lord W. Bentinek some grants of these lands were made to speculators, most of whom gave them up, for reasons which it would take too long to explain in your valuable columns, but which do nut in any way affect the present question. Now that it will be necessary to maintain, with no little difficulty and cost, a large British force in India, it may be well worth the consideration of the East India Company to hold out the prospect of grants of these lands to European non-commissioned officers and good conduct soldiers. Had these mili tary colonies been established many years ago the British strength and influence in India would have been much greeter, and we might have been spared some of the calamitous scenes of the present year.-1 am, Ice., J.

(Ehears.) But I ago sure you will agree with me that in dew so different times they should, " in our flowing cupa," be "faddy remendered"— (cheer.) —remantered in ind ent* eionnezkes with recent act. of gallantry that have won W admiration a the world— (cheers)—remenibead in intl. mete moue:ion: with a manly composure in the face of pennlessosanda eherfal gemignation meter " the shadow of death" only to be equalled by the modesty, the gentlenews, and the perfect and profound elf-comman d allay. attendant upin their great bravery. (Renewed cheena.) I understand that there happens to be no officer of either venire here to acknowledge my tnaat.

(Ltd cheers .) Conspicuous on the card of admiediin to this dinner is the word "Bobaolik" This set me think lug thin morning whet me the sorts of school. that I don't like I found them, on oonaideration, to be rather ININISIWILS.

(Continued laughtm.) Ido not like that sort of echoed, bemuse I have MVO!' yet lost my ancient empicion toti,hing that curium conic:ideate that the buy with four brothers to come always got the pima.

THE LYDIAN HUME A public meeting, convened by the Aboriginen Protection Society, was held yesterday evening at the Friends' Meeting-house, St. Matin's lens. The meeting was rather thinly attended. Mr. bls.betibm Lowis, a retired Indian judge, took the chair, and in opening the proceedings said that the object for which the meeting had boon convened was not to censure present or putt governments of Indic, so much as to impress upon the public, If possible, the opinion that whatever might bo the (Tinto, of the purple of India, they were still objects for consident ion, if not for humanity. (Hear, hear.) Omit winos, it was true, hod taken place, but they were not un beard-of crimes, as letter ones bad over and over again been onomitttd in various parts of the world. But still grout crimes bad been motivated, and the dealing with them should be left to the law. Let ft ho remembered :bat si tho commeocement of the Indian mutiny . . . , the gaols were all thrown open, and it wee an ascertained fait that by that art 16,000 of the worst criminale were et once tat loose en the country. They were principally Dacoits, an hereditary COCO of robbers and murderers, and hod most of them been under eentenee of imprisonment for life. Their habit WAS to go into villages awl torture the inhabitants, to discover their hoards, and such had been their conduct in the preeent mutiny. They bad all flocked into Delhi. With respect to the atrocities at Cawnpore, he had it on the beat autherity that deo women were not diehenoured, and he felt that amid all the horrors of that terrible scene there was Nana coneolatien ic this well-authenticated feet. (Hear, hear.) 'The first greet ranee of the present mutiny was, he belies ed, the hatred of the people of India. The init.- aioneries had petitioned for • cornmi,eion to inquire into the mune ot this hatred. but the government had not thought ).rope to comply, and were in fact to this day more Ignorant on the subject than any other part of the population. A resident, writing to Dr. Doff, chief of the Calcutta school, boro testimony to this fact, and said that the mutiny merely brought out the Intent feeling. The Times believed and wrote that the mutiny welt merely military, but the fact was that the natives were to A man inveterate egainet everything that had • white fere. Another testimony woo that of a native of atrpriaing intelligence, one who had been brought up under hie (Dr. Lewinle) own surneWance. Thin person stated that the haling of hatred on the pert of the natives towards the English was intent.. they said that the word of the English had once been graven on brass, but was now merely written on water, and thict, having got the whole country tinder their rule, they at last and completely threw off the mask. This was no Thueythiliesn spec b, he could seance the meeting, but the re .1 spoken sentiment of • high caste native. The affair of the hew petties wean° mystery to him. Ile had ling known that mischief would come of It, and hod published his opinion; but, with the usual fatality, his warnings were neglected. Another remarkable feature of the mutiny man that the exert bad been PO well kept by our native dependents. Bente of them must have known it, and Mill nowhere was there any previous Intimation given. Our euppreeeion of puttees and of Infanticide had nut offended the narives. In those caeca the country was with OA ; but in our interference with the marriage kw and that of inheritance we had incurred heavy and general odium. In India each (shiny was a Fort of joint stern Ottol peny, to which the property was common, and thegovernment had neently peered IL law providing that a man might be come Christie sod atilt claim hie share of the family Whorl taro,. 'this the natives looked upon se • violation of one of their fundamental swages. We had also tempered with the law of adoption, and in the cow of the Rajah of Nsg pore had done much worse, for we had mold the ,jewels out of his crown by public auction at Calcutta. (Hear, hear.) He flout now cry a word or two reepecting Outlet Our eitue t there had been this. We maintained a subsidise y twee_ and stipulated to give the King resistance whatever becalkal for it, but our assistance bed proved to be the embrace cit e bear, for we squeezed him to death, and then toot pos. erasion of the dead body. (Hear, hear.) A recent writer (On. Low) stigmatised our setters of that country as worse Nrn eny of the seta of Warren Hastings. As to the mew plaints made of the King, the fact was that so great was the auihority of the British Resident, that the sovereign became disgusted, and took no interest in national affairs. But tits worst feature in that tranicaction was our ingratitude. In our difficulty the King had eubecribed largely to our hea— ths total mum lent by hire being forty-taloa of repeat, or 460,0001., which sum was never r e p a id, while our only return WAP to confiscate his territoriee General Low firmly believed that Conde wee the key of the present mutiny. It was fre quently asserted that the anifemnariee had been a math canes of it ; but be believed that no charge could be more fella clone. (Cimino.) Looking at what the charsoteg of thew men had been hem the time of Schwartz down to the present day, this wee net eurptising. So much had that estimable men bees teded by the natives, that nyder Ali gave him a wh owt In the height ot the Canonic war. The trade was, that the native" had no antipathy to the nalmicaarias, but looked upon them se harmless, holy mem Lead Elks borough had io the Howe of Lords escaped the asimioesries of being the cause of the rebellion, and this had rouged op on influential antic.. gentleman in Madras, soma who bad positively stated that the natives held the - &ries in the bMbrat eStilllololl and ...poet. With regard to the imputed atrocities, he believed there wee grog egaggers ' tion abroad, sad that wally which bad been described could not pomibly have been committed. Lord Shaftoobory Lad quoted Lady Quilting aa a witness to theme atrocities ; but it was very draw, if Lady Canning was deeply im pressed with native atrocity, that Lord Canning should at this moment be counselling detuonoy and forbearance. (Hoar, hear.) Lord Shdtembary wished to de the mutiny as a merely military mutiny, but Lord Shaftesbury wee tamely connected with the government, sod It would be very oon cement to the latter to propagate each a notion, as it would atop all invest_ igatftm into their own shortcomings. (Hear, hear.) He looked upon much of what Lord Shaftesbury bad raid ea calculated to stimulate vengeance, of which he believed there had bean more than enough already. (Hear, hear.) It arm only yesterday that he had been told, at thi; India-hoes, that the 160 men liberated by Mr. (Mutt had all been subsequently put to death. (Shame.) With respect to our treatment of the natives, it was much worse than slut it had been under the Mahornetaos~~ln t he r ei g 7of A7kbar, HieTioes were admitted to all offices of the state. The prince married a native princess, and did everything possible for the Sidon of the two recce. Aurtingzein, being a bigot, adopted a different policy, and this it was laid led to the downfal of the Great Mogul. After an allusion to the torture question, and the quotation of some entreats from the report of the torture connuission,l4r. Lewin concluded by aalltne_on e Mr. Jorins, who moved the first resolution, " That, the government is called upon to punish the authors of the atrocities lately committed on our countrymen, country women, and helpless children, in India, justice demands that full inquiry be made, in onlor to 'separate such heinous criminals from other ',mons who, tboogh they may not have been wholly innocent of revietsuce to the authority of the government, have been far Ina guilty." Ile deprecated in strong terms the tone of vengeance dept.! generally by the English press towards the people of India, and argued that such exhibitions of our Christianity were enough to make the potionsl creed disgusting to the people of Indio. (Hear hear.) They had also the Commander-in-Chief, Lor d Shaftesbury, and other high and influential persona houndingun the peooe of England to stern justice, which wee in fact vengeance. He was for justice too, but justice not without full and fair Inquiry, or without mercy. (Hear, hear.) The Sepogni had been guilty of momentary outbreak, but let not eir services of 100 years be forgotten. If they had cumin, d atrocities we bad taught them in Cabal how vengeance en. to be inflicted. But had no Weenies been committed nearer home? Had there not been a cow) 8/tat in a neighbouring nation, and had they not beard of a whole tribe of peaceful men, women, and children smothered in the cans of thirst (Cheers.) Mr. June, proceeded to charge the government with destroying the laws of adoptive inheritance, when A GenTLEllaX in the meeti ng corrected the epeaker, ex plaining that lard Dalhousie had only altered the law in the case of royal families. He had not touched the law as re garded the general population. Mr. J ONES thanked his interlocutor, and proceeded to ex plain the laws of inheritance and adoption at considerable knob, telling attention to tho fact, that inimedistely on the annexation of a province one of the first duties of the resi dent was the investigation of the Zanindar's title.. Now, be should Like to know Low a government proposal to inves tigate titles in England would be revived by our nobility and landholders. He would venture to assert that even Lord Shaftesbary himself would rime against such a proposal. (Loud cheers.) After one or two further observations be concluded by moving the resolution. Mr. ROAEKT FOWLER seconded the resolution. Ile de blorc4 the inhuman call for vengeance which had been raised y the pews of this country, then which he said nothing °mild be more repugnant to the doctrines of our common Christianity. It was with great regret he saw Lord Shaftes bury amen that "God knows the Illepoys had no cause to revolt." Ile had expected other remarks from a man so generally esteemed tor his Christian philanthropy. Mr. Downs, before the revolution was put, wished to read a leader from the Time of 1947. which he said conhseted atrougly with what he termed 0 the atrocious leaden," which lad recently appeared in that journal. Having done eo, the revolution wu put and carried unanimously. Other resolutions, inculcating mercy and deprecating blind vengeance, were then put and carried, and the proceedings terminated. TIM DUNE OF NEWCASTLE ON INDIAN 41RAIII8. The Duke of Newcastle performed the ceremony of laying the corner-stone oldie new National Schools, now in ceuro) of erection at East Retford, on Tuesday last, and in 010 evening attended • meeting of the Society fur the Propagation of the Bevel in Foreign Parts. His grate de lis., rid n speech in (avow of the objects of the society, and, after reviewing the course of its operations in venous parts of the world, be referred to the church in India. From the information which he at present possessed ho could not join in those strong terms of reprobation which had been launched against the government authorities by many who hod epoken and written on this subject. The most opposite opinions appeared to be hell ea to what we should do when the strong arm of power had been established in India. To judge from what they heard, some people would overcome all difficulties by being " all things to all men." That appeared to be the view which some people toek of this matter, while others advocated • po licy of • totally different character, which they hardly avowed though vainly hoped—he would not call it a ! propagation by sword and cennon, but a compulsory propa gation of their creed. Now. as regarded the first of these matters they bed certainly little temptation to attempt any thing of the kind. How had measures of that kind suc ceeded already f How had too great • deference to the reli gious feelings of the people been met ? Why, in this way— the greased cartridges had been eeised upon as a pretext for rebedion, becauae, they said, we had been endmvouring to tamper with their faith—we had been establiehing a dynasty opposed to theirs—the Afahomedan—by fire end swmd. Well, then, that failed. or at all events systems similar to it. As regarded compulsory conversion, he weld hardly think that any man could maintain that this principle we, not alien to the habits of the people of England and utterly alien to the genius of Christianity. We could not, with eor en lightenment, adopt the theories of the Talmud, nor, as Chris hiMllle, imitate the Billeries of Mehemet. So, we were not by compuleion of every kind to force these rose into a false Chruttianity, whole we were not able by conviction to bring to our faith. He paid that government power must neither be used to control or disturb the religion of the natives. Complete toleration must be given. When he void toleration, he meant nut onlj must compulsion of every kind be avoided, but that which was as bad, namely, seduction— which be (meld only call • broad species of fraud—must bo equally avoided. They must neither attempt by compulsion nor by reward to make Christiana of men whom they could not convince. He believed the latter was as alien to the merit of Christianity so the former. Any man who came to be so convinced Mal little better than a believer in the faith he had just left. But If they were not to do this they might at any rate avow their faith and act in accordant with it. They might show their Christian conduct and they might adopt • Christian pulicy. They might show in private life those virtues and chararteristim wheel would induce the natives to follow the belief of those whom they could not help admiring and respecting. Surely, it wield Le no diffi cult matter for the natives to draw a contrast between the Christian lives and policy of those who now govern them, ite compared with the monstrous lies and wicket:lmm, the treachery and horrors perpetrated before their eyes by them who ruled them in former days. It was by euch examples as these—Ly ouch conduct as that—the spread of Chris tianity would be effected hi that great continent of India. (Cheery.)

IHB MAIN DRAINAGE OF TSB METROPOLIS. DEPUTATION TO SIR BENJAMIN HALL. Yesterday, at c.7ce aliee, chair man; Mr. llaaalgerle, chief engineer; and Mr. Wuolrych, clerk, of the Metlrtel.Ji . ,ll Board of Works, waited upon thr Benjamin nethe °Rim of Works, Whitehall-place, to present a etaterneut of .he reasons why the Metivpolitan Board of work s could sanction the plan cent to them and recommended bv the referair to whom gad been rt.:forced their own plan (Be) to the main drainage of the metropolis. Cap tain Gahm and Mr. Simpson (two of the referees) were pre sent during the pros tidings. Mr. TN WAITEB at great length entered into the objection of the board to tSo plan _twootemended by tho referee". The Jurisdiction of the Board of Works extended ever an neon of 117 i Emery mita', but the plan of the rllPrees pro : posed to deal with an tree of 311 *query miles. This would require them to increase their sewer* to three we four times thir sire: are? the +bele of that area. Then for 355 days in the year there would be only a driblet in the in seri, and too malt ef that would bee deposit in the sewers end an hiellickmay In their ,scion. Then the Weed objected to the rimers proposed tL..t they were open, and beside. being of too great gee, had only a fell of six inches to the mile. Mr. Thwaitcs then gave numerous details to thew the Mad miasibility of the prepared plan. Be next referred toe reso lution come to by the heard, that they were wllliug to carry the outfall to Sea Beach, prodded the oat of the extension was provided by than who wear benefited by it. He had understood from Sir B. Hall that if they carried the outfall beyond B° fer purposes other than metropolitan, the extra coat would be met Lye sra..t from parliament. Sir BENJAMIN Hann denied that he had ever intended to convey such au imp-reset:or. They must wry out the object ot the act, and that was W cleaner the Thames of its im purities. Ho it was the duty of the board to in tercept impurities which It wed into the Thames, even from an arm not under °tar on rirvision. The sewers, however, he agreed with the board, rush , to be closed. Though the outf4t at Be might meet alto requirements of the metropolis, yet he was Dam quieten woe gone into the stronger would ha the feetog that the discharge should be lower down. As to the financial part of the question, and taking the ramble vast„ of the metropolis at 12 millions sterling, which he beloved would in a kw years be increased, and that tney had to expend five millions, what amount would Iv required to be levied on the retepevers to carry out the works delegated to there ? If they require. five million' to be repaid in fift y years, at 6 per cent., it roll require a rate to be levied which would erteltice L 73,1183/. per annum, and that dis tributed over 12 millions sterling, it would require a rate of ler than 61d. in the pot:ad. 11. on the other hand, they get the money et 4' per .it., they would require an annual tam of 263,0101., and ar: re of Les than 60, in the pound ; but if they could get the money at 4 per cent. they would require an =Duel rum d 232,7611.. or a rate of 41d. In the pound. Under any circumstances they could not make out a greater cost to the rate payers than hid, in the pound. Mr. Tftwatets said n' hough it might be only hid. in the pound, that would be hat one of a number of expense', for theca of the district boa."l, formed a large item. As they were now looming to time quertere, in the event of the go• "vestment making no grant from the Consolidated Fund, he wished to know if th° gtvernment would lend them their credit to raise the funds, taking the security of the rates, and, by raising the money in the market, lend it to the bolted. _ . 711;D. HALL raid that was rather a question for the Chan cellor of the Exchequer th .n himself, and he should be happy to accornpeuty him ou any lay he might select. lie should be glad to have a confirenee want any two members of their board, with their engineer nod the referees., so that they might agree upon some plan which they could adopt.
