Before the works went commenced, my firm sent one of Its most experienced agents, who had superinteeded the execution of several large works, sod who had been In it. employ upwards of thirty yews, and entrusted to his charge the supervision of the cari..us works to be executed on the railway. It is due both to Mr. Kennard, the engineer -hi-chief, and to Mr. McHenry. the contractor, that 1 should state to yen that the position we occupied, which might have been an invidious one, has not In the slightest degree partaken of that character. Every recommendation of our agent has been at mace cheerfully car-' tied out, and Mr. McHenry has executed his contract with an honest desire to carry out every engagement in a fair and liberal spirit. The line has been ballasted and laid In a style telly equal to the best of our English railways, while the extremely favourable natant of the country through which it passes km rendered necesasry so few works of art, that lira maintenance need not exceed the arrows cod per mile of oar railways at home. The stations throughout are of ample extent, and the siding accommodation fully equal to the requirements of the traffic. —lt Must he 'Frey satisfrotoey to you to find that the engineer- Inehlef states in his last report that the tramc at the present time In sufficient to ry . at the then price of gold, the dividend on all the Conßonds of the entire line, assuming them not to he tensed to a greater extent than L 6,600 etg. ,six thou sand gee hundred pounds sterling) per lineal mile.

There was a very large fleet of vowels in the road. stead, coneisting of masters sad steam rollers. At about 4 o'clock the barque Bea Serpa* Captain Amough, of sad from Shields for Jamaica, with coals, dragged her anchors and drifted rapidly towards the shore. The perilous posi tion of the mew, 14 in number, exclusive of the officers, was observed by the be•chmen and theComtgnard, who promptly responded to their signals of distress The former manned the surf lifeboat of the National Imatintioa, and pl lan=laturehed through the breakers ; while the Coast g er, under the direction of Captain Bevan, R.N., misted by Captain R.N., and ILr. Petra primers& the rocket apparatus. The us, driven by the heavy seas, grounded close to the Wellington Pier. The mew took to the rigging. Notwithstanding the urgency of the ewe, the captain at arst refused to leave his mod, and the lifeboat incurred great danger aleupide, one mountsinons wave completely overwhelming the lifeboat, causing her to dis appear for an instaat, to the day of the spectators on shore, who hared that the was lot. Recovering from the shock, the boatmen again approached the vowel and rescued • portion of the mew, while the remainder were saved by the rocket apparatus. At Oceleston and Gorton, pieces in Immediate proximity to Yarmouth, the effects of the storm were much more severe. The schooner lady Ana, of Wells, Captain Harman, drove from bar =chore on to the beach. The crew took to the item, the sea breaking over the vernal with fearful violence. Neither the stamen nor lifeboats were able to put out. there Wag no surf-boat bore, the boteluare Dever having expreseed • wish to bare such • boat in addition to the i r own large private lifeboth. Neverthlem, the rocket apparatus was used with good 1640 i, aad the mew were saved, with the exosp- Coe of • lad named Mayes, • relative of the master, who was washed from the fwing and drowned.

Captain Shod, of Sundoiaod, to, Freese, with cos* drove on Giorleaon beach.

The Dutch gelliot Capella, with • crew of ex, also drove on the beach. The men were saved by the rocket apparatus. In these varied rescues the beach men, both of Yarmouth and Gorketon, exhited the utmost daring, frequently rushing into the raging surf with hues for the purpose of erring the lives of their fellow-creatures. It 1 reported that there are other vessels on shore, and that a &blurb**, with all hands has foundered. The weather still look, very threatening. TYNEMOUTH. THURSDAY, 10.30 P.Y.

DUNGENWS, KENT, THURSDAY Mawr. The following is a, copy of the report of the coxswain of the Dungeness lifeboat of the National Institution relative to some important services rendered by that lifeboat " Yesterday evening, in • gale of wind from the S.S.E., with heavy rains, received information of a vessel being stranded about a mils to the westward of this lifeboat station of the National Institution. Immediately called the lifeboat's crew topther, sad sent a messenger to Romney for horses, and in the interval attempted to get off in the coastguard galley, which we failed to do, there being such a heavy Nay with the wind right on. We then launched the lifeboat, manned by the coastguard of this, Romney, and 27 Tower Stations, and succeeded in getting on board. Found the vessel to be the barque Louis XIV., 435 tone, bound from Dunkirk to Liverpool, in ballast She had parted her cable on Dungeoese Roads. We suoceedad j in bringing the crew of 15 axes, incloting captain sod pilot, ashore in the lifeboat at about 3 this (Thursday) morning.

WALMR.B., KENT, THURSDAY NIGHT. Admiral Cannon reports the following shipwreck off Kinpdown, near Dial :—" At about a quarter past 3 o'clock this morning, blowing • gale from the B.E. by E. with heavy raze, • Kingsdoen boatman reported here that the eohoooer Devouport, of Teigumouth, was on shore a little to the eastward of Kingsdown, and that the crew could be beard calling for help; but in °moquettes of the heavy ses upon the beach at Kinpdown, the shore boats there were unable to launch, sad stated that the assistance of the Walmer lifeboat, belonging to the National institution, was required. In °moments of a heavy so upon the Widmer bearb, and the wind and tide beige against the progress of the Weimer lifeboat by water, the coxswain immediately sent to the Karim Barracks (ac cording to previous Ls) which were elute at hand, for a party of 60 mm to the lifeboat to Klagedown, a distance of one mile and three-quarters. About 4 o'clock, reining bard and still blowing a gale, the marines and the crew took the boat et • quick pace towards Kin own, with the view to launching the lifeboat to windward of the vessel is distress, and than running down to bar assistance. When, however, they bad reached about half-way they were met by • Kirgadowit coastguardsman, who reported that the crew of five men of the vessel in distress had all been widely landed in a Kiagedown boat, which bad sue ceeded In launching, as the No on the beach bad become smoother as the tide flowed. The lifeboat services being no longer required abs was drawn back to Wainer by the marines, and reached the boat-house about half-past 5 a.m." SCARBOROUGH, THURSDAY NIGHT. I have the honour to report (says Captain Woxbl) the following service of the lifeboat here belonging to the Royal Natioual Lifeboat Institution. At 2.30 p.m. a small sloop ewe into the bay and attempted to tali thebarbour, the wind wee very light from the east, while the sea was very heavy; it was very doubtful whether she could make the harbour, as she ran great risk of being swamped by the heavy seas, which were breaking • full mile from the shore. At last she approached the pier head, and received several heavy blows from the breakers, and at one time she seemed as if she must come ashore. The life boat was then at ono launched and rowed out to her. Just then • breeze filled the sloop's mails, the sea lulled for a few momenta, and gathering way, she shot up into the harbour, just as the lifeboat reached her. A minute previous • cable from the pier got a warp to her, and she WAS dragged up into a place of safety. There was considerable risk to the men in the lifeboat, as the sea was heavy on the beach.

The second meeting of the Society of Arts for the arson took place on Wednesday at their house, John-West, 'A 11e preemie. of Mae Duke of Somerset, se dude in zl n. ad the of the subject discussed by Mr. notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a wry f attendance. Amongst the members of wawa peewit were Sit F. Sandford, Mr. Haines, Mr. Bad. kin, Mr. Osaham, do. After the usual priffinuoarie Mr.Farallette proceeded to read his paper "On the BAIL w ean of iron to the purposes al nairal conetructioe." • gleam at the ancient bleary of the warlike uses of iron, the works of the Tubal Clans of former times, the blades of Daewoo., he., the lecturer arrived rapidly at the year I nwlien Oat introduced the paddling furnace and the sad bar iron. Iron canal boats were, he said, la=tioar la t,t t e eesweenceestre of the peewee century, and in 1822 the Hawley Company built the • Aaron ihianley," which wee sent up to Loudon is sections, and navigated to Havre and Paris by the late Admiral Napier. In 1828, Mr. Houston built • light boat of iron for pawners, and there was ea inter regnum in iron shipbuilding until the government employed him (Mr. Pereira) to make experiments on the effects of rapid traction on the banks of canals, when several iron via iseL were built. The lecturer then detailed the experiments for ascertaining the tenacity of iron plates, when the mean was ascertained to be 10.22 tons the square inch ; and hay ing minutely detailed the various promises used in iron ship building, and pointed out the sources of weakness that had to be guarded naiad, be see to the conclusion that " • careful distribution of the material is • desideratum of ow eiderahle importance in shipbuilding ; and although it may be necemary in some constructions to make deviations, it ie neverthekes essential that the law ri strains should be care fullbserved, and week points carefully guarded against." The Plasminrr haring invited diacussioo, °epee Herineser gave his opinion, after twenty yen' experience in India, that iron yowls were not adapted for river navigation. Mr. Hawiraflaw observed that in his judgment the sys tem of " punching" iron plates ought to be superseded ny " drilling ;" and that if the Britehnebridge had beau put together by drills instead of by punches the increase of strength would have been 24 per cent. With respect to the employment of iron in the construction of ships of war, the preliminary quetion must be /rattled, of whether the armour were to form part of the ship, or to be donned and doffed es occasion might require. Until that point was settled they could not determine what ought to be the proper form of a ship of war. He did not see why the armour of • ship should not be conducive to its strength. With respect to targets, their construction need not occupy scientific commentary any length of time. All they had to do was to get a piece of iron of the bat description, and as lake an anvil in shape as possible • but the question was how you were to encase that p iece of iron into • ship's side. (Haar, hear.) Mr. German thought that drills might he best for bridges and girders, but preferred punches for shipbuilding. The great question for them to decide was whether their ships of war should be built of iron or wood. Some were for the joint use of the two materials, but he thought the junction was unfortunate. The use of iron was, he believed, established as the best ; the only question they had now to decide we, how they were to get rid of the foaling. He believed that the whole navy would long ere this have been built of iron if the fading difficulty could have best get rid of. He was is favour of makes the iron armour part al the strength of the ship ; and with report to the fouling, the result of forty years' experience was, that they were as far from having the question settled as ever. Iron ships sheathed with wood, and coppered ur to the water line, had been found hest to avoid fouling. His plan would be to build • skip entirely of iron, and sheath it with copper up to the water line. Hr. Rocauseen observed that Westphalian iron bore a greater strain than any of the kinds of English iron which had been esuinerated, and suggested that steel might be advantageously used in the framework of men-of-war. Captain SELWYN, R.N., said that in a seaway a vessel was seldom supported stem and stern by two waves, as she by her own weight settled down in a medium line of nota tion. The way in which vessels were mat strewed was by driving them against a head see, in which ease the bow was sure to be shot into the air, musing a strain of the greatest possible intensity. As to wood sheathing to armour-plated vessels, he would remark that in an action the wood would be set on fire by the shells in lama than ten minutes, and the smoke would render the working of the ship impossible. * The Duke of Somrasre then nee to propose a vote of theists to the lecturer. They bad had amy interesting diseamiou, and be was sure the society meat admit that the Admiralty was placed in some difficulty with respect to this queetteo. (Hear, hear.) They had been called upon at a very short notice to prepare the best ships of war, and DOW they were told by men who had devoted all their Ives to the subject that the question of which was best was in as great a state of ustertaisty as ever. (A Wash.) They were told to get the best Woo end the best projectiles, but Dr. Percy in his metallurgy said that the met iron was very imperfect. Then as to the tests. Did they know how far the tests injured the iron • or WWII they to put an iron ship with her stem and stern resting us rocks to see whether she would break in the middle! (A laugh.) Were they sum that in testing cables they would not injure them! (Hear.) Were they to get iron plates and steel projectiles, and fire one against the other! Did they know what such experimenta would cost! It would be thus seen that the Admiralty had still some difficulties to encounter. (Hear, hear.) Then as to ships of war. They had been told to build them of iron ; but now it was suggested that they should be built of iron and covered with wood. He hoped to have the subject more fully discussed in a future lecture, and for the present would only observe that the experiments at Shoeburyeem had shown that it was necessery to have DOM wood behind the iron.
