Some four hundred guests sit down in the beautiful apartment, and everything is extremely well managed. The promenade con cert follows, iu which the band of the Artillery from Woolwich are to play, and the ball after that. with a variety of bands, and this will no doubt be the gayest scene of these famous international Leta of the two Navies. I said that the French officers don't do as much interior work with their men as is the custom with us. I don't believe they do half the work. In quarters. if au officer is not captain or adjutant major, or subaltern of the week, he never goes near his men except on parade. In fact the duty is done very much in the same way as in our Foot Guards. When in quarters, all the officers, without any ex ception whatever, live in lodgings in the town ; even the officers of the week go home at night. The adjutant-major of the week is the only commissioned officer that sleeps in the barracks. In the infantry there are in each regiment three battalions, and in each of these there is a commandant, or major, who hes entire command and all the responsibility of his battalion. I like this in the French system. Their majors are not, as with us, mere dummies. Neither the colonel nor the lieutenant-colonel everinterferes with the battalionsor squadrons in petty matters. The colonel of a French regiment is mom like a small general commanding so many independent regi ments. He looks sharp after the whole, is master in his own shop with a vengeance ; but all details of discipline are carried out entirely by the majors, each one of which has his own little command, his adjutant major, and hie adjutant. In the French infantry the non-commissioned officers are named differently than in the cavalry Every company has its tersest major, who is the isms as our colour sergeant ; four sergents, who correspond with our sergeants ; and eight caporatex, that are the same as our corporals. There are no " lance " or "acting" corporals or sergeants as with us. Each battalion has its own adjutant, who corresponds in position, rank, and duty to the ser geant-major iu our infantry, only, of course, as there are three battalions in every French infantry regiment, there are three adjutants. The men iu the French service are fed remarkably well, although I question very much whether our follows would like either the rations they get or the hours at which these rations are served. The very first thing in the moruieg, as soon as they arc out of bed, every soldier has a jorum of hot black coffee, about half a pint. With this they eat a piece of bread of what has been left from the day before. The breakfast ((kjegmer) is at nine or tau, and consists of soup with vegetables in it, a piece of meat, if auy has been saved from the day before, and bread. Dinner at four or five ; which is soup again, and the meat which has made I the soup, either served up with it or else fashioned up in sonic way. Each mess may have its meat dressed as it likes—or as the majority of the men like—best. Only soup is an article de rigueur, and it is curious how fond the men are of soup. They don't always have it for breakfast, but at dinner it is invariable. I have made a number of notes about the pay ment. clothing, and other matters connected with the French troops, which I will give you iu my next letter. I must finish this one with the magazine words " to be continued." VISIT OF THE QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLAND:3 TO SPIV:LEAD. SOUTHAMPTON, THIIIIRDLY NIGHT. A large 'lumber of persons have visited Spithead from this town to-day. The Royal Mail Company's new monster steamer Rhone, the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's new monster steamer Tanjore, and a large new steamer called the Southampton, took down crowds of people ; besides which a number of hired steamers were crammed with visitors. The Dowager Queen of the Sandwich Islands and her suite, and Lady Franklin, were on board the Rhone. Her Majesty came by special train from London about 11 o'clock this forenoon. One of the car riages was a royal ono for the special use of her Majesty. The Queen was received on board with royal %amours, and • military band performed while her Majesty was being esoorted to a date on the deck. Lady Fraeklin also was received with great honours, and sat be side the Queen on the dais. The Rhone left Southampton Water at about midday, and was steered close to the north shore of the Isle of Wight on her journey to Spithead, to enable her Majesty to have • view of Osborne and the beau tiful scenery in its neighbourhood. 00 arriving at Spithead the Rhone steered close alongside the rows of English and French ships of war, and as the passed the French ships the baud on board of her played " Pertant pour is Syria," while the bands on bard playa' "God save the Queen." The French admiral en board the Solferioo, on learning that the Dowager Queen and Lady Franklin were on board the Rhone, sent his barge with an officer to invite them on board his ship. Oa stepping on board the Solferino her Majesty was received with royal honours ; and the most profound homage was paid to the venerable Lady Franklin, as the widow of the great navigator, in the search for whom au illustrious Frenchman—the youthful Bella—ea crifiond his life. On returning on board the Rhone, bee Majesty was escorted to the saloon, • monster apartment, gorgeously fitted up, where there were tables sufficient to dine hundreds of visitors, and on these table' • superb ban quet was prepared. The Queen eat oa the right of the Chairman of the Royal Mail Company, and Lady Franklin on his left. The Chairman, after proposing the astral loyal toads, together with that of the Emperor of the French, proposed that of Queen Emma ; this toeat was drunk with the most respectful applause. One of the ministers of state of the Sandwich Islands returned thanks on behalf of Queen Emma. Her Majesty returned to Southampton about 7 p.m., and immediately left for Leaden in the royal carriers by spe cial train. MR. BRIGHT'S VISIT TO AMERlek.—Whilst OUr newspapers are teeming with paragraph' op Mr. Bright's proposed visit, we have jut ascertained, on good authority, that, up to this date, Mr. Bright himself has received no invitation, and knows nothing yet of his going to the States. —Weekly, Mail and Telegraph. THE OPEN LICENSING SYSTEM A.ND DRUNKENNESS ix LIVERPOOL. —Yesterday, at the close of the licensing session", the Liverpool magistrates entered upon an elabo rate defence of the open license system which hes bees in operation there for some years past. Mr. Robertson Glad. stone explained that the 182 applications did not represent so many new houses, and that out of 125 to which licenses were granted 76 bad been beer-houses already. Mr. Stitt made a very loog statistical statement. He said that in 1864-5 221 new licenses were applied for, 170 of them to houses previously beer-honors, en that there were only 51 new boomed houses. This year, of the 182 applicatiou 113 were for beer-houses, so that only 69 were new. The licenses granted lest year were 150. only 40 to new houses ; and of the 125 granted now only 50 were new. To show that the applications were decreasing under the new system be maid they numbered 246 in 1863, 221 in 1864, sod only 182 this year. He denied the truth of thn statement made in the House of Commons by Mr. Horstall, that there were three or four times as much drunkenness in Liverpool as in any other tows in the kingdom ; and be took Glencoe as an instance in disproof. Ins 1863, in Glasgow, 0,6)8 persons were brought before the magistrates for drunkenness, and in Liverpool 16.800 : but in Glasgow, in addition to this 6,458, there were 450 person■ proceeded against by information for being drunk and disorderly, and 18,779 for being drunk end iocepable— that hi, 19,000 people taken to gaol for drunkenness, but not included in the Glasgow thatistica of crime. In Man chester also be found that 2,363 persons had been charged with drunkenness. who did not appear before the magi'. testes. To show that the conversion of beerhornies ioto publithouses did not inmates crime, he stated that although 150 houses were so converted in Liverpool last year, there were only 100 additionel oases of drunk enness, and the population had increased during the period between 8,000 and 10,000. In 10.54, when the re strictive system was in full operation,the cuss of drunken sees were 10,678. In that year 4 new licenses were granted, and the neat year the number of cuss of drunkenness rose to 12,819-2.200 is one year. The comparison between the years 18.54-5 and 1864.5 showed that the p.-oportion of drunken cams to the population in the former period wee one in 31{, and in the latter one in 50 . I n 1864, there were 827 b eer-houses, and they furnished 994 ieforma tioes ; but 1,769 pabliolonees, which furnished only 192 informations. Lilt year there were 12 uses of permittieg drunkeeness In public-houses ; hut 3fl in beer-houses. The proportioo of new houses to otd was one-fifth ; hat the pro. portion of o ff ences supplied by new homes to those sup. plied by the old bonus was only me-fourteenth. The in crease tariff of flees recently adopted can found very beneficial in checking these offence.. In conclusion he gave en instance from Suuderlacd. where from 1860 to 1864, though the magistrates mimed the number of Hamm by 3a, the drunken cases increased by 402-75 per seat., owing to the beefless of beer-houses, consequent upon the restnetith system in pnblio-honor lismens. THZ CAMP AT CHALON& (MOM • 0011/ZIRO9DOT.) CARP, CHALONS, AUGUNt 28, In all probability the present will be my last letter from this military hot-bed. To-morrow I betake myself to Strasbourg, and shall most likely not return to Ohalona, even to see !ea resales esanteuvrea that are to take place ou the Let and 2nd of the month, previous to the oamp breaking up, which it does on the 4th. The troops seem delighted to get back to their winter quarters, although they also appear to have en joyed their plc-uic here very much. The French War-oftioe is wiser in its genera tion than our Horse Guards. Our fellows — officers and men—hate Aldershott, and detest the Curragh, for the reason that was stated some time ago iu the Daily .News, they get too much of it. They are at camp work all the year round, and as was very truly observed in the same lead ing article, our camps are now mere large garrison towns, with all the drawbacks and inconveniences of camp life added thereunto. Now, the French come here under quite different circulustauces. They leave all their cares behind them with their heavy baggage. They come to Chalons to lead ,iiiite a differ ent life than that of the usual routiue of quartets. They put up with all the inconveniences of camp existence with pleasure, because it is a change for a time, and any change, even for the worse, is, as we all know, very much better than none. The consequence is that they learn very much wore hero than our men do at Aldershott. Not that I believa iu lee grandee) tnanteurres, either Freueh or English. I don't think these under the rank of • battalion commander learn anything at those show parades ; and even they don't add much to their stock of knowledge. It may be good fur generals and brigadiers to have divisions, brigades, and regiments to knock about, but to the troops they counuaud the work is anything but pleasant. What agonies of dusty eyes, a dry throat, and a general feeling of having " tubbed" last some three weeks past, dues the very name of Peunefather call to mind ! And yet a better or a kinder hearted man has not his name ou our Army List, or that of any other country. But I know that in all that coustitutes a belief in ma meuvring great bodies of troops I ant a heretic, for I feel certain—in fact, experience has taught me—that 'whenever a regiment, brigade, division, or army goes into action, the commander of the force must have wits enough about him to act as the occasion requires, for you never know where your adversary will have you. We form very erroneous opinions in England respecting moat points of discipline connected with the French army. I confess that until I came to Chalons this year I was under the impres sion that the officers—the regimental officers, of course—looked much more after their men than we do in the English service. But the exact con trary is the case. Here is the routine of duty in a French cavalry regiment with which I have mixed a great deal since I came here, and the officers tell me that the very same rules govern every corps in the service, whether in camp or quarters. At five o'clock—six iu winter—the reveille sounds. A quarter of au hour afterwards the men assemble in stable dress, and the roll-call is called. At this duty one officer per squadron must be present, and he remains present until the men begin cleaning their horses. This duty is taken by the week, and as in each aquadrou there are two lieutenants and two aubdieuteuauts,beaides a first and second cap tain, the work cannot be very hard. For the stable duty and general police of the regiment there is a captain, a subaltern, au adjutant-major, and au adjiitaut of the week. These are present at all stable duties, and visit the kitchens of the regiment be - ore the meals are taken away to the rooms, as well as the meat before it is distributed to the cooks. But this iv not, as with us, a duty under arms—that is, the officers on these duties do not wear swords. or button up their uniforms ; they look upon the work as a fatigue duty. Once the dinners have left the kitchens they never go near the men. There is no visiting of dinners as with us ; nut even the sergeant* go into the barrack-rooms or touts when the men are at dinner. The French say that it worries the men and does no good, and I sin n ot sure but they are right. Every corporal is responsible for his squad, and as the men of the same squad always go on guard together, the corporal is never away from his mm. He dines with them, lives with them, is responsible for their good order and cleanliness. The sergeants, sergeant-majors, and adjutants live quite apart. They are cal led collectively lea seas• ulliciers, for a c orporal is not considered a sons-01l i cier, and mess together at the canteen of their squadron. It is wonderful how much a corporal has to do in the French army, and bow uncommonly well he does it. In their service the rank of cor poral is considered the most difficult to fill in the service ; and if a man can do the work well he is moot uon as fitted for au post. The exami tion h e has to pass through before he gets the stripe would shame many a Stall College man, I can assure you. Ile does everything that can be imagined, except keeping the accounts uE clothine, forage, rations, bedding, necessaries, and so forth. All that kind of work is done by the sergeants of the squadron, who in barracks are mere pee and ink men, and on duty look to the drill and riding and conduct of the men. In the French cavalry the regiments are not divided into troops as with us, but into squadrons, and each two sinadroos form a perfect little corps of its own. In each squadron there are a first cap tain, a second ditto, two lieutenants, two sub lieutenants, a fouriee (or kind of quartermaster ser geant, only lie takes part in all parades), a Inarechal de !ogle chef (or sergeant-major), four merit:hal de (ogle (or sergeants), and eight brigadiers, or corporals, and a hundred mounted and twenty dismounted men. The latter are recruits, officers' servants, cooks, and such like. To each two squadrons there is a chef d'escad rens, an adjutant-major, and an adjutant. The first of these is • major, as we should call Lim, and has complete command over the two squadrons under him, both in quarters, in camp, and iu the field. The adjutant-major is a captain, senior to all other cap tains, and corresponds with our adjutant ; the adjutant is a non-commissioned officer, correspond ing with our regimental sergeant-major—only in the French cavalry there is an adjutant to every two squadrons, and there are eight squadrons in every regiment.

Crowds of pleasurerieskers, all eager to join in the rites of welcome to "Nos braves allies," as the banners and transparencies have it, in all din e tions have been rushing in from the railway., and hurrying on to attack the hotels and take up strong positions on the esplanade. As to the hotels, they have been fairly swamped and boarded by ravenous and bedlam strangers. I saw one party in posses sion of a room, having carried it by assault, stoutly holding their ground against another party, who too truly represented the forlorn hope, and were in the end compelled to beat a retreat. Inside the hospitable fortress the fight for dinner was some thing terrific+, amidst a din of electric bells and a rush of bewildered waiters, awful to behold, and still more to endure upon an empty stomach. Those were lucky who happened to have invitations for the Admiralty banquets, which by the way have not been very liberally given. Indeed, I hear many rather annoying remarks about doing these things better in France, and especially at Cherbourg. But whether at Whitehall, or at Portsmouth, the Admiralty, I will not say naval, authorities are not distinguished for good taste or finish iu the art of pleasing, any more than they are for their knowledge of what should be their own business. Perhaps some allowance must be made for the unfortunate flag secre tary of Sir Michael Seymour, who has fairly been run down with this banquet and ball, and must have found it rather hard to meet all the exigencies of the occasion. The banquet was quite as brilliant an affair as was expected, the viauda being good, without being touched with any very ex visite strokes of gastronomic att. The decora tions, which I partly described, came out well, but I cannot say much fur the eye for colour that chose the red and blue, or the dirty yellow cord that ran round the angles, or the curious patterns stencilled on the stripes at the border of the tent, Still, altogether it lit up well, and looked sufficiently gorgeous for any festive dinner iu the world. Of the wines, the champagne was pronounced " mid dling ;" but this would not matter, as our visitors would be more likely to notice our port, and this was full-bodied enough to startle most Frenchmen, and not what the connoisseurs would call " a' very remarkable example." The wine of the evening was the Madeira this was of a rare and subtle bouquet, and the admirals seemed to sip the fra grant nectar with immense satisfaction, as I heard one say, with &glorious unction ou his well-bronzed face, "Ah ! this has made the voyage The toasts and the speeches were uncommonly well seasoned with the beet of expressions and the most cordial remarks of mutual esteem on both sides. The Dnke of Somerset's speech and the toast of the Emperor were received with three times three,in a style that completely astonished our French friends, and contrasted rather strangely with the cheers that followedthe responding toast from M. de Chasseloup Laubat. The French officers did uot seem quite to understand our habit of acknowledging in this vociferous style; their enthusiasm hung fire fur an instant, but when the English officers joined in with a hearty shout, the whole party united in good English fashion with one cheer more. A French officer remarked that we must please to remember that with us cheering is an institution, and I could see that it was one of ours that he admired. The same gentleman was no amiable as to say, in reference to the Duke of Somerset's remark about our poor fellows of the Bombay being so kiudly befriended by the French, that in Cochin China, where he had served, the French had quite ex hausted their stores at one time, and were entirely, or very largely assisted from those of our fleets. He seemed to regret that it did not occur to Admi ral Willaumez to mention this as an instance of the great good feeling between the two navies. I may mention a curious little fact which turned up in conversation with the French and English officers after the smoking began—it was, that our men of the Bombay were actually brought home and tried by court-martial, as is the custom in the cases of losing a ship, wearing the very clothes that the French had given them. Indeed I may say that between the French and English officers and sailors here it is quite a contest of generosities. The illumination of the fleets was an immense success. Nothing could have gone off better. The evening was one of those balmy moonlight evenings one may often see iu the bay of Naples, but rarely in these climes. It was well known that at the time the royal bealths were drunk a flight of rockets from the Victory would signal to the fleet to prepare, and as it grew darker thou sands of people flocked down to the beach at South sea, and every window and roof was crowded with visitors, all looking out into the deep blue starry sky for the rockets. Up they went at last, then some large blue lights on the saluting battery, and, after a few minutes, bang went the first gun of the royal salute, and, in au instant, out blazed the lights from the Blockhouse Fort ; and towards the sea, as if lit up by a meteor, the whole line of ships shot out in bright stars, all marking the perfect form of the ship, as if every rope were a string of stars. The form of the hull of each vessel was shown most beautifully in this way, and by the splendid lights in red, white, and blue along the porta and sides of the ships. All the while this brilliant sight lasted, the scarlet flashes of the guns and the loud thunder on every side gave an extraor dinary excitement and magic beauty to the scene. The English illuminated first,and then this was an swered by one sudden blaze of the brightest lights from the French ships, then flights of rockets, all breaking out into large bouquets of blue, red and white stars, which fell like flowers upon the water. The Royal Sovereign blazed away, with all her bulwarks cast over her side, one mass of the brightest white light at times becoming a perfect volcano of rockets. The magnificent forms of the Achilles and Black Prince were very distinctly made out, and as the last blaze died away, and the moon, whose ineffectual fires had certainly paled, again shone out upon the silvery waves, one breathed again, and thought that everything bad s uffered a sea change into something rich and strange. The grand affair of to-day is the civic entertain. RNS. THZ LUGGAGB OP PABIBIBff 14.1.D1Z9.

I could not help remarking that these giant boxes around us were no signs of reform. All the ladies present were actually sweeping the floor of the railway station with some 10fr. a yard brushes.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A GRAVESEND STEAMBOAT. —Yesterday afternoon a fatal accident of a peculiarly die treacle( nature took place off the pier at Woolwich. It appears that a gentlemen named Smith, residing at 17, St. James's-place, Clarendon-road, Nottiorphill, with his wife and only child, Henry Robert, aged 10 yearn embarked at }Nagel-ford on board the Ibis, passenger .team vessel, for Gravesend. The vessel stopped as usual at the Woolwich pier to embark passengers. and had scarcely stopped when the lad by wane means fell from the side of the vessel near the stern into the water and immediately disappeared under her keel, all efforts to save his life being unavailing. It appears that the lad had not been lost eight of more than two minutes before the accident happened. As may be imagined the distress of the parents at their sad and sudden bereavement was painful to witness. The body has not _......_..____ __ . yet been foiled. DISCOVERY OF GUNPOWDER IN THE WIEF.SLY.— LivEnrooL, THUESDAY.—This morning, as a boat in the employ of the receiver of Admiralty droits was craisiog in the river they picked up 650 barrels of gunpowder. The (swoon of the powder are not as yet !positively known, but it was supposed to have formed a portion of the cargo of the ship Stella, Captain ClittbrillTO, which caught fire this morn ing near the lightships, bound for Port Natal and Ceara via Havre. At the tme the Stella caught fire three steam tugs were fortunately near her, and by their assistance the flames were extiognished, and the vessel towed to New Ferry, where she was scuttled and beached. It is impos sible to conceive the consequences which would have ensued (supposing the gunpowder in question did form part of the Stella's cargo, though there was none in her clearance papers) bad the flames, on board the ship not been so promptly subdued. STRIKE OF THE SAWMILL LABOURER.% —The labourers employed in the metropolitan sawmills, whose wages are 1/. Is. per week, have made a request to the pro prietors of the mills for as advance of 6a. per day, grounded on the high price of provisions and house rent. The ad vance asked for cot having been cooceded, yesterday the men employed at desire Robinson and Barmen's mills, Belvedere-road, Lambeth, the York-road Mills, the Ber mondaey Mills, and one or two smaller estoblishmenis, to the ',umber of nearly 300, struck work, and subscription' are befog orpoiaerl for their support by the workmen in the other mills. The men also have a trade society from which they will receive support. A general meeting of the men in all the mills his been held, and they have pledged them- selves to support the movement, and insist upon the ad vance asked for. ANOTHER STRIKE IN NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. — Considerable an aisty has been occasioned in North Stafford- shire, by the turn out of 500 colliers and ironstone miners in the employ of Mr. H. If. Williamson, of Turista, who had refused to secede to their demand of an advance of 6d. per day in their wages. The men hose this demand oe the state of the markets and the increased price of provisions, which, they say in a published address, justify the course they have taken. Their combination bee been met by • counter.combination on the part of the North Staffordshire 0.1 and Ironmsaters' Association, who have resolved unanimously :—" That the present condition of the trade does not justify au advance of wages." They have also sp. pointed a committee to organise a system for • contribution per ton of coal and ironstone raised by each member of the association, to go to a general fund for supporting ironstone and coal mestere in resisting any unjust demands on the part of their men. The movement fur an advance has not yet extended to other collieries in the district, but it is said a large ournber of men will be influeoced by the result of the dispute at Messrs. Williamson's colliery.

THE CHILDREN OF THE FOUNDLING HOSPITAL. —A list of names is made out beforehairi, and as the children arrive they are fitted to them in replier order. As sone as they are baptised they are despatched into the country, where wet nurses have been provided for them. Within a distance of twenty mile% io Kent and Surrey, there are always about 200 of these foundlings at nurse. Every child hes its oame sewn up in its frock. and also • distinguishing mark hung round its neck by a chain, which the nurse is enjoined to see is always in its place. There children are regularly inspected by a medical men, and the greatest care is taken that due nourishmeet is afforded to the babes. When the nurse cannot do this • certain amount of milk is iequired to be given. The foster chil dren whilst at puree are under the observation of visitor' in the neighbourhood. When Hogarth lived at Chiswick be and his wife took charge of a eartaie number of them little ones, and it is pleasant to read the faded amounts in the handwriting of the great painter, in which be shows that the interest he took in the charity was of the most intimate kind—that be not only enriched it with the gifts of his pen cil. as we shall presently show, but also with his tender solicitude for the foundling, who could make hint no TAWS for the care with which he watched over them.

Their injuries are serious but not dangerous, and in all probability they all woe be in a condition to be removed to their hoaxes. The name of the lady at the Great Northern Hotel Is Mire Dcnet, from Brightoe, who ha sansined severe contusions on the knee, and also some injury to the cheat. Mr. Mitchell, who is at Colony Hatch, has suffered severe eontusioos of the bead and fame, end his cheat, it is feared, is injured.

Mr. and Mee. Leaky and child were also hurt, the husband rather seriously, the wife very slightly, and the child only shaken. They were ell sent home. The engine driver, it appears, saw the eautiou sisal at Barnet, and while in the tunnel mw the danger signals to stop, shout three-quarters of a mile distant from the ease of the accident. He states that he passed Barnet at the rote of 60 miles is hoar, and that as soon es be saw the caution *Dal he slecksoed speed and whistled for the garde to put on their breaks. They did so. but in epile of that he was not able to prevent a collision. He, how•, ever, arena that when he first struck the coal train he was not going at the rate of more than ten miles an hoar. Although the speed of the train must have been greater than that, there is no doubt about the fact that it was greatly reduced tram the time be first saw the gone light at Barnet. The guards corroborate the fact of the signal being given to put on the break, but not in time to prevent the collision. The engine driver says the metals were greasy, and the wheels had no hold on them, and to a certain extent the statement is borne out by other oMci.ls of the company. Nevertheless, they confider there was time for the Midland Company's train to have stopped before coming is contact with the coal trucks. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Arnineuxv, Art - mgt. 31.

CLOSE OF THE SALMON FISHERIVS. —Tbe season for taking salmon in England and Wales (except by angling) cloud yesterday (Thursday). the fence time com mencing to-day. Salmon, however, may be sold for three days longer, and anglers have two months' grace. angling for salmon (not for sale) being permitted up to November 1. The fish are already, many of tbem, out of conditioc, and it es the general conviction (except on the part of anglers themselves) that the extesaion of the muting season ought to be more limited, as no doubt it leads to the destruction of many fish that are a'asioat ready to spews.

The fishing improved with the rains in Augur, nod in conse quence of the " freshes," the upper portion of the rivers had their fair share of fish, instead of the take being mono rolised by the fixed engines at the mouths of the rivers.
