The lecture theatre of the United Service Institution was crowded yesterday afternoon with naval officers and naval architects, both of the wooden and the iron regime, and many scientific gen tlemen and ladies too, to hear Captain Cowper Coles describe the new shield ship which he has designed for ocean service. Sir John Pakington, Bart., M. P., took the chair. Captain Coles commenced by alluding to his first explanation before the members of the Institu tion of his plan for coustructing cupola ships in June, 1860, though it will be remembered, perhaps, that it was so far back as 1856 that Captain Coles first mentioned his plans to the Government. Nothing, however, was done until the feats of the Merrimac, and more especially of the Monitor, which Captain Coles called the first copy of his cupola ship, forced the consideration of vessels of war of such a description upon the attention of our government. Now, however there are cupola ships being built in all the dockyards of the world, from 700 tons to 7.000. The weak points urged by the opponents of Captain Coles' system were that such vessels could not be built for ocean ser vice, and that they could not fight an equal number of guns and weight of metal with the broadaide port ships. Captain Coles then showed by a model of his sea-going ship with the newly invented tripod iron mutts, which do away with the necessity for employing shrouds and much of the supporting rigging, that the advantages are decidedly with the shield ship. This model represented a large three muted ship, the armament of which was eight 300-pounders, placed in four cupolas. The masts are of iron tubes, the centre tube being carried from the keel right up to form the topmast, the two side tubes being carried to the height of the lower yard, thus forming a tripod. The lower and topsail yards are of iron, fitted with Cunningham's topsails, and they can be lowered or braced and managed perfectly by machinery, with out showing a hand above deck. The very im portant point in these masts is that they are rigid and of immense strength ; they bear a breaking strain of 722 tons, while wooden masts are ouly equal to 7.34 ; and the beauty of the arrangements is that compression is resisted as well as stretching, the resistance to compression being 637 tons. Be sides they have the supreme advantage of sinking if shot away, and therefore not fouling the screw and rudder. Stages or platforms are built between the legs of the masts, which are to be protected by saud-bags, and thus form a cover for riflemen to act in case of boarding. The top of the cupola it is also proposed to make use of in a similar wayby placing sand-bags round it as a kind of parapet. The masts are equidistant, and the yards swing equally upon them easily, so that they may be braced, and the ship steam head to wind with much greater power. Captain Coles stated in illustration of the difficulty in managing vessels like the Warrior with enormously lung yards, mea suring some 105 feet, and the liability there must be to have these carried away, that the Warrior has had her main-yard carried away in gale, and that when the iron-clad squadron in their late cruise were mauceuvring to come in I iue upon another tack, the ships came round at a distance of seven miles apart. In clearing for action the cupola ship requires much less time, as her guns are always ready and the fighting part of the vessel is distinct, while in the ordinary ship the men live between the guns, and to clear foraction is a matter impossible to accomplish without considerable delay. Then it is evident that the sweep of these cupola guns, in consequence of all shrouds being removed, is very wide, in addition to the facility there is of moving them on the turn-table, iu an arc of from 310 to 316 degrees, whereas the broadside guns can only be trained 20 or 25 degrees, and cannot be fired within 9 degrees of the line of keel. The Hatteras was compelled to strike her colours to the Alabama, chiefly because she could not train her guns to hit her antagonist. Captain Coles compared the Favourite, which is the vessel now being built on Mr. Reed's plan with the rec tangular broadside battery, or large box, contain ing eight guns in the middle of the ship, with his Cupola vessel, which he humorously named the Naughty Child. He showed by a diagram that while the Favourite, when rolling 20 degrees, could not tire her guns, from their being under water, the Naughty Child would carry all her guns high above the waves, and much more steadily, from their being fixed in the centre line of the ship. The Favourite is to have eight 68 pounders, but these guns can only be fired within au arc of 40 degrees • if objects more in front of the ship are to be fired at, the corner gun must be shifted, which all naval men know is a difficult thing to do, and necessarily attended with logs of time that might be fatal in an engagement. In rapidity and precision of fire, Captain Coles considers the cupola ship to have great advantages, and, iu proof of this, he instanced the experiments on the Trusty, in September, 1861, under Captain Powell, of the Excellent, when seven men in the cupola coin pletely beat the twelve gunners at the broadside guns iu the proportion of three rounds to two. The precision was stated to be as 7 to 1 in favour of the cupola as tried upon a moving ship. Out of 69 shots fired at the Trusty cupola, only 44 hit, although the captain of the gun wag the crack shot of the "Excellent. Much of this was due, Captain Cobs thinks, to the better veutilatiou of the cupola, which allowed the smoke to clear away much sooner and more perfectly. With regard to the effects of the new penetrating shell upon the cupolas, Captain Coles stated that while the shell would, if it entered the cupola, disable it alone, leaving the others intact, the whole battery of the Favourite, if entered by a shell, would be entirely disabled. Captain Coles had proposed, in February, 1801, the plan of forming a belt of plates at the water line four feet above and below ; and again in September, after the Trusty experiments, hail given in drawings showing this method. He now proposes to plate cupola ships in this way, with extra protection over the cupolas and engines. He showed a diagram of a vessel plated in this way, and explained that the armour might be carried to soy thickness, according to the size of the ship, so as to meet the require merita of a vessel to resist such a shell as be said was soon about to be produced, having a burati no' charge of 401 b., and penetration at a range of 80e3 yards. Shield ships, he maintained, are the only vessels that can carry these large gnus, destined to be the weapons of future naval actions. The advantages of offence. defence, speed, lightness of draught, and steering, are, be holds, with the cupola sea going ship of his design. The Prince Albert, for example, will be 1,600 tons smaller than the De fence, will draw 5 feet 8 inches lea; water, and throw 5601 b. each broadside, which is about double the weight of metal the Defence can employ at each broai le. In point of economy, also, Captain Colts calcu lates that the shield ship, having 1-ss ring to be kept up At all times, and so much that could bo stowed away ready to be used at a moment's notice, besides great saving in original cost of construc tion, has much the preference of all others. A vote of thanks to Captain Coles was 1110VOI by the chairman and passed by acclamation, and it was announced that the discussion upon the lecture would take place this evening at half-past eight. Mr. Henry Seymour will mak the Chancellor of the Exchequer to-morrow if he has entered into negotia. tioos with Messrs. Kelk and Lucas for the purchase of the building of the Great Exhibition of 1862, with a view to remove into it a portion of the collectioos of the British Museum.

This morning a report, which, with an appen. dix, extends over fourteen pages, was issued by the City authorities on the subject of the regulations adopted oo the occasion of the entry of the Princess Alexandra on the 7th. The report is from the committee of the whol e court, including the Lord Mayor, and contains a chronological statement of the steps taken in re. foresee to the royal entry. It is shown th e e the royal reception committee which was appoint e d, arranged for the decoration of the public buildings, and pat themselves in conemnnieation with the chartered livery corn. panics, so as to secure a suitable and splendid ceremonial. The efforts that were made to secure the object of the in habitants of Southwark and Westminster, that the civic procession should go the whole route, are set forth, and the responsibility of the refusal, which the committee coeclude threw an undue proportion of the multitude Upon the narrow Ott eirte of the City, is attributed to Sir Richard Maya s and the government. The correspondence with Sir Rickard Milne was first carried on by the late Mr. D. W. Harvey, whose unexpected decease materially increased the dig. eulties of the position. Sir R. Mayne expressed his willin g . DOM to render every aid in keeping clear the passage through Chancery-lane to Holborn. On the 4th the Lord Mayo, informed the committee of an offer from the Commode. in-Chief to place a body of the Life Guards within the City. This offer wee at ones most gladly accepted, and within two hours afterwards a speciel messenger was despatched with the following letter: " Mamion•hoaee. March 4. " Sir,—ln reference to your communication of this day,' beg to inform you that the offer so kindly made through you by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, relative to the attendance of some of the Life Guards within the City, to assist the police in carrying out the requisite rms. lations for maintaining a clear peonage for the procession on the 7th inst., has been submitted to the magistrates, sad also to the royal reception committee of the corporation, who beg sincerely to acknowledge the consideration of hie royal highness, and have mach pleasure in accepting sa t offer. " lortructions have been acmrdingly given to Captain Hodgson, the Acting Commimioner of the City Police, to put himself in communication with the proper authorities upon the subject.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " W. A. Ron. "Sir Richard Airey, Quartermaster-General." It appears, however, that before the receipt of the communication from the Hone Guards, Captain Roily sou had told Sir R. Mayne that the assistance al the military would not be required within the City. This conversation, unfortunately, was not reported to the Lord Mayor. On the 6th his lordship sent to know the number of Life Guards that were coming, s a d was informed that 200 of the Royal Horse Artillery would be placed at his disposal. His lordship told two °Morn who waited upon him in the afternoon, that he should be glad of the assistance, " not only of 200, but of 300 a even 400 men if they could be obtained, upon which tee officers lead they were pressed for numbers, and all they could spare for the City would be 200 of the mounted Artil• hwy." His lordship, it is added, felt it necessary to decline an application for permission for the Tower Hamlets corps to march through the City, en route for Hyde-park. It is the opinion of the committee that the delay in the pump of the royal procession may be attributed to the following noses : • ^`• 1. The enormous inerease in the numbers of the pope. ieee, who strove to obtain and Recurs positions to view the procession within the City, in consequence of the &moo n:tents' above alluded to for preventing the civic portion of It from passing along the entire route. "2. The death of Mr. Comotiasioner Harvey, which se& dealy and at a moment of great dithculty threw double duty upon Acting-Commisidoner Captain Hodgson, who had at once, and without merlons notice or preparation, to de. charge both the administrative and the executive function' connected with the employment of the City police upon so important an occasion. '• 3. The substitution of mounted Artillery for the house. hold troops, which the authorities of the City bad been led to expect, the latter being a force f►r better adapted and far more accustomed to keep au unbroken line through large masses of people than the troops which were actually sent. . . " 4. To the unbounded enthtuium and loyalty of the people, whose wigwams to witeess and to share in the welcome of the Princess was beyond all example. " 5. The obstruction caused by the intrusion into the line of route of vans and carts after the time appointed for their exclusion, and especially of several large vans Mid with Metropolitan police constables. " G. The went of a complete understanding between the Ist City of London Volunteer Brigade and the polio; whereby the only serious obstruction was created—vis., that opposite the Mansion Home." A report from Captain Hodgson and various memoranda connected with the proceedings of the 7th are appended to the committee's report. INDIAN BRANCH RAILWAY.-(THIS DA KJ The first annual general meeting of shareholder was held at noon, at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. Dear is the chair. The report of the directors states that a sufficient amount of capital having been subscribed on the :10th Argil, measures were at once adopted for providing the permanent way and rolling stock required. These were all despatched to podia between the 10th July and the 6th November, and have nearly all strived safely no Calcutta. The prospectus mentioned the expectation of the ageut and engineer. Mr. Wilson, that the experimental hoe from Mullis.* to MOM' shetiabad, 27 miles in length, would be completed and opened for traffic within twelve months from the date of the formation of the company (30th April lan/. Judging from the cost of the materiels sent from this country,s the expense of freight. insurance, atc., as exhibited to the financial statement, the directors cannot doubt that the line will Ire constructed within the estimate, and they an gratified in being able to report that their latest Miriam tram Mr. Wilson lead to the expectation that the line will be °peeled by the let of the present month, or exactly tea months from the formation of the company. The whol. of the reserved shares have been allotted, so that the capital of the company now coneistsof 50,000 shares of 10/. riteb, with 21. paid. The directors would have wished to have postponed the Ent meeting of shareholders to a period at which WY might have been able to communicate to them the opening of the Nulhatee line, as well as the result of the negotia tions now pending with the governmeut for other impotent concessions, but the requirement by the company's deed of association that the first annual meetiug should be held during March admitted of no longer delay. They beg, bows ever, to intimate that it is their intention hereafter to nun. MOO a special general useetiog, when the above matters and the prospects of the company will be fully explaiued. The CILLIBMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, read a letter from the Marquis of Tweeddale, who was toners occupied the chair, expressing great regret that inilisposi• tion prevented him from atteudii.g, and unabated confident in the undertaking. lie then gave a history of the company's scheme from its first inception up to the present tin*, with the ail of maps of the district awl of the route to be traversed. The main features of the scheme were, he ob- served, light rails and light rolling stock, engines sod fuel not weighing more than 14 or 15 tons, the pas of travelling not exceeding 15 or Ili miles is hour ; adding that, if necessary, the engines sighs travel 30 or 40 miles per bour, hut that in India as in England it was speed t hat killed.
