Then comes IA Woke, the first of the French irun-cdad equadron,and the ship which initiated the hot great revolution in naval architecture. She is mentnerded by Captain Miguel de Eiu and car- Amin guns, 10 of which are 50-poundeis, and 28 116-rmoders. She is 6,000 tons burden, and 900- Imman eserer, and carries screw of 589 men. She occu pies a positron at the extreme western end of the lino. The other French vowels are stare sloops, and emnprimt, besides the imperial yacht, Reins Hortense, the Caton, 4 guns, 800 tons bantam, 240-horec: power, Captain Grivel ; the Ariel, 2, 100 Una, Commander Peeler d'Hanterive ; and the Flan. 170 tons, 120-horse power, Lieutenant Guys. The EAU& Admiralty have considerately placed at the service of the French squadron several gun imetsof the first division of the steam reserve, which have been manned by crews from the sever a l ships of the Channel squadron. I may add, that the general appearance of the French ships, especially the larger ones , doss not conform to English notions of naval architsetnrsl beauty, being remarkably heavy looking and un sightly. To-day a large number of officers have been ashore, but very few seamen of either of the fleets hex appeared in our streets. DEAD BODIES FOUND. THE OASTEIN CONVENTION.

It is most delightful to find the weather so splen did to-day ; all the aerial powers are propitious, and the treacherous mighty monster lies basking in the sun, inviting the whole dock of yachts to come and sport upon his back ; and whether we love the sea or hate it, a mares eye must be dull indeed to the touch of beauty if he see nothing to be raptu rous about in this broad rippling sea of opal and azure, with the lovely landscape of wooded bills beyond stretching away down the shore of the Solent, and crowned by the towers of Osborne — the " Chateau de la Reins," as our French friends have already discovered and called it. It is a noble spectacle to trace this great triple line of war-ships of the two great nations, joint masters of the sea, ranged abreast of one another, proudly displaying their ensigns, and each reposing grandly on the waves as if every OM were 1110W0111 at the owe. nib iabied, is Oat every Sailor belkives of lauswn ship, and we cannot wonder that they idolise them and call them by each proud names as tiin Black Prince and the Heroine, or such dear ones as (Moire and La Normandie. sok Iwo Loop a 94 .; 7it. • 170: 9. - 4 , ` mid we. ler at at 'A a Faca — iii*t TW 1 001. oa. 4MIITOWY TO YZW TONI, CZ • LIVERPOOL.

A Naples letter says:—" The news from the small town of Elan Severn is quite lamentable. The last bulletin mentions 122 =me of cholera and 54 deaths. All the wealthy families have fled with one exception, and this latter has lost three mem bers out of five. The state of prostration of the unfortunate population is indescribable. The syndic and the government authorities, who are displaying an admirable firmness and devotedness., are asking for medical assistance and aid from the other towns. To give an idea of the sitate of the poorer classes of this locality I have but to mention that the syndic has just ordered to be sent away 3,000 pigs, who were living in the homes of the lower classes pen men with the inhabitants. Naples is acting very generously in these painful circumstances • on all sides subscriptions are being opened. m frs have left to the number of 20, and 35 &Mg's* Ve nice and Rome haver Eared themselves as atten dants and been accepted. Turin is sending ice, and Naples lemons by thousands. This outburst of public charity merits the greatest eulogiums." On the 26th the number of new cases of cholera at Ancona was 27, with 10 deaths. At Ositno, town and suburbs, the numbers on the 24th were-7 new cases, 2 deaths, and 5 patients under treatment. A regular meteorological service is shortly to be established by the Italian government. Professor Pacinotti, of Pisa, has already been deputed to visit the London Board of Trade and the meteorological observatories of Paris and Brussels, and to pur chase the necessary instruments on the English models. The regulations of the service will shortly be forwarded to the points fixed upon along the coast, and the instruments placed in the various stations. The director of the service or his assistant will explain the use of the instruments to the directors of the meteorological stations, who will' generally be the captains of the ports, except at Naples, Genoa, Palermo, Catania, Anoona, &c., where the captain of the port will be assisted at the observatory by one or two professors from the university. The whole service is expected to be in working order in the beginning of November. Every year the central office will publish a tabular statement, comparing the forecasts with the weather actually experienced. THE "SCRIM" AT THE CONSECRATION 01 S.

A learehieri investigation will likely set es feel todiseever the thieL—Newry Teinwropk. The fleets seen from the shore on this magnificent day have a much more imposing appearance than yesterday ; the sunlight and the blue sky are every thing to the picture, and the form of each ship comes out clear to almost every rope against the pale grey of the distant sea and the island. Yester d►y, what with the smoke and the haze, much of the beauty of the sight was lost, and it was im possible to see the whole line of ships coming in round the Nab Light. To-day we are amply gratified by the majestic array of these noble fabrics. There is just enough breeze from the north-west to make it a perfect day for a sail, and those who have the bliss to possess a yacht are the envied of all be holders. Every one is eager to go on board the French ships, and the coquettish yachts are dancing round them bowing and dipping their colours and showing the tricolour, and the steamers, crowded with people as thick as bees swarming, on the rigging and every possible vantage ground, cheering with ell their voices, the ladies waving handkerchiefs, and the bands playing " God Save the Queen" and " Partant pour la Syrie." At this the French sailors rush to the side of their ships and wave their hats, and the officers join with looks of evident pleasure. I was on board some of the French ships when this happened, and witnessed continually the charming politeness with which every visitor coming on the deck of the ship was received, and invited to see all that was to be seen. There were not many parties going over them ; most seemed to be satisfied with the view from the deck of their boats ; but every one seemed to me to have some one of the crew appointed to attend, and, if he could speak French, to answer any questions. In some cases, however, I heard very fair English spoken by the officers, and always with the most sincere desire to afford any information that might be interesting. In noticing the internal arrangements of the French ships too much cannot be said in praise of the hospitals and the cabins of the officers, which are in every ship well lighted by daylight, are airy and abundantly roomy, with many little additions to comfort unknown and not even thought of on board our ships. The great event of the day is the banquet at the Admiralty and the illumination of the fleets, which is to come off with, I believe, a royal salute at the moment when the health of the Queen and the Emperor is drunk. The preparations for the civic banquet, concert, and ball, have advanced rapidly, and will certainly be completed in good time to receive our visitors. (nom on owl PORTSMOUTH. Avoner 30. The appearance of Spithead, and of the water between the shore at Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, has never been so animated since the great fleet under the command of the late Sir Charles Napier left that anchorage for the Baltic. There is so much to see that it is almost impossible to give more than a general and cursory descrip tion of the proceedings ashore and afloat, and I may therefore, possibly, supple ment the correspondence of your special representative here by giving a few facts which are only to be obtained by dint of much labour and perseverance. As has before been stated, the English squadron is moored en ligne at Spithead, and extends from east to west. At the head of the division, that is at the extreme eastern end, is moored the Edgar, a wooden line-of-battle ship of 71 guns, 3,094 tons burden and 600-horse power, bearing the flagOf Rear-Admiral Sir Sydney Colpoys Dames, K.C.8.; and the other ships of the British fleet lay in the following order, viz.:—The Hector, 24, 4,089 tons burden and 806-horse power, Cap tain G. W. Preedy, C.B. ; the Defence 16, 3,720 tons burden and 600- horse p ower, Capta in A. Phillimore ; the Black Prince, 41,6,109 tons burden and 1,250-borse power, Captain Lord F. Kerr ; the Achilles, 26, 6,1.21 tons burden and 1,250-horse power, Captain E. W. Vansittart ; the Prince Consort, 35, 4,045 tons burden and 1,000 -horse power, Captain G. 0. Willes ; the Royal Sove reign, 5, 3,765 tons burden and 806-horse power ; the Liverpool (wooden screw frigate), 39, 2,656 tons burden and 600-horse power ; and the Re search, 4, 1,258 tons burden and 200-horse power. The French ships are moored in two divisions pa rallel with the first, the (Antral division being headed by the Magenta, which carries 52 guns (all 60-pounders), is of 7,000 tons burden, and 1 000- horse power. She carries the flag of Rear- Admiral Baron de la Roncibre and has a crew of 700 men. Next in Order oomee the Heroine ' Captain Sagot-Davanroux, of 36 guns (all 60-pounders), 5,500 tons burden and 1,000 horse-power, with a crew of 500 men. This line is completed by the Flandre, Cap tain Bachtne, of 36 guns (all 60-pounders), 5,600 tons burden and 1,000 horse-power, which has also a orew of 500 men. The leading ship of the in-ahoredivisioe is the Solferino, of 52 guns, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Count Bonet Villaumez. Her armament consists of 12 50-pounders, 38 60- pounders, and two 188-pounders. She is of 7,200 tons burden, and bas a crew of 824 men. Next in order in this Hoe is the C=1 4 31)110, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Saisset. She carries 44 guns (all 60- pounders), is of 7,000 toes burden and 900-horse power, and she has a crew of 600 men. Then fol lows the Provence, Captain De Surveilli, of 34 guns, of which 16 are 50-pounders, 16 30-pounders, and 2 80-pounders. She is of 5,500 tons burden, 1,000-borse power, and has a crew of 680 men. The Normandie, Captain Say, comes next in order. Bhe carries 28 guns, of which 2 are 200-pounders, 12 50-pounders, and 14 70-pounders. She is also of 5,500 bus burden, and 9000.boree power; and her Brew consists of 600 men. The next is the Invincible, Captain Chevalier, of 32 guns, 2 of which are 180-pounders, and 30 60-pounders. She is 6,000 tons burden, and 900-horie power.

So throughout Loudon the bodies found have, in the absence of a regular Morgue,. in Paris, a prescriptive right to shelter in various *an set apart for the purpose. It by no means follows, however, that special dead-houses are pro vided in every parish. The lack of uniformity of treatment from which the pauper suffers when living, is applied to the unfortunate when dead,and accidental deaths are in some parishes blinked as unpleasant, almost as unnecessary, fact& Thus, there are owes in which one dead-house is made to do duty for three or four parishes, and not long ago a corpse picked up in the river was refused house room bye wealthy west-end parish, and had to be left forsome hours at the water-side until the local authorities could be prevailed on to take it in. Frequently, however, publio-bouses are used for the reception of dead bodies found, and out of the four corpses which were lying within the metropolitan police district two days ago until an inquest could be held, the Coach and Horses at Kew, the Brewery Tap beer-house at Hendon, and the Belisha Tavern at Hampstead formed re spectively the resting places of three. As may be au pposed, the river is the principal place where stray bodies ere picked up. Suicides from the various bridges, the accidental drowning oases, and the comparatively rare instances in which unfortunates have met with foul play, make up tbe bulk of those discovered in the Thames. Reeder* ofMr. Dickens's latest fiction will remember the powerful description of the " bird of prey" with which it opens, and will readily renal the night scene on the river, when the boat is towing a re cently found corpse in its wake, and the boatman peers eagerly into the darkness, in the hope of spying out and recovering others. Gaffer Hexham is true to life, and every night throughout the year bade start on the same unholy mission as is ascribed to him. Men live by fishing for corpses. This ghastly trade is at least as profitable es regular labour, and as it unites eomewhat of the excitement of gambling with not • little of the savour of larceny, it is perhaps not wonderful that to a cer tain class of mind its attractions should be irresist ible. First, there is the chance of • reward-- sometimes as much as 1001. having been offered for the body by the friends or legal representatives of the deceased ; secondly, there is the chance of viluabler and money being in the dead person's pockets; and in the event of both these contin gencies failing, there is still the six shillings paid by the coroner, and this, as was pertinently re marked to no, "is a good day's work for the like of them." When watch or purse is found on • body, for which • reward has not been offered, they are, as a rale, quietly pocketed, and their late owner put back into the river that he may be picked up either by the polio* or some brother profes sional. That the men following this loathsome calling are callous, hardened, and brutal, is a matter of coupe ; that they should long for a crop of well drawled, richly-appointed suicide% as eagerly se the sportsman hopes fur • good bag is not wonderful ; and that they are as unscrupulous in their dealings with the deed as they are persevering in their efforts to capture them may be taken as inevitable. The se and repugnant calling once known and reali, the character of its professors may be easily conceived. Of course, the Thames Police take prompt charge of all the bodies they see, but, as was shown in a recent article, the range of their duties is wide, the number of boats and men told off to a pre scribed number of miles of river comparatively small, and the result is a not unprofitable opening for the lighterman who, half thief, half body snatcher, turns his attention and devotes his nights to looking up and down the river for corpses. A short time back one of the best known of these fellows was seen about 2 a.m. pulling stealthily in shore, with what seemed, in the dense mist and darkness, to be a passenger or fellow labourer sitting in the stern. Something in the uncouth swinging to and fro of the latter excited the suspicions of the police-boat on duty, and, fearing that a helpless drunkard had fallen into evil hands, and would be robbed and maltreated, the lighter man was hailed, and ordered to mill to. It was then seen that the man supposed to be drunk was dead. The gear ordinarily need for tow ing the subjects from where they are found to the nearest wharf in the same parish, was out of order, and the lightermao had in consequence calmly reared the corpse up with its back to the rudder, and in such an attitude that the faces of the living and the dead maa all but touched each time the former bent forward to big oar. "Only a stiff 'un, master, I'm a' taking up to Rotbeehithe !" was sulkily given in reply to the questions put ; after which the speaker was permitted to pass on, and to deposit his prey and claim his reward in due 0011ne. how- Suicides by jumping into the river are, ever, lass frequent than is ordinarily supposed. There is a regular law of averages in these mat ters, which would seem to be almost an closely ob served es the late Mr. Buckle taught his readers to believe. The returns of one year have a striking resemblance to those of its predecessors, and 1864 may be taken as a fair representative of the rest. Out of the 141 suicides which took place in the metropolitan police district in that year but 24 were from drowning, being four less than from throat-cutting. In the same period seven were pre vented drowning themselves by the police and the attempts of other six were otherwise abor tive. Forty-two people killed themselves by hanging, 17 by poison, 19 by fire-arms, and 11 by jumping out of windows, in the same area in the same twelvemonth. The curious and out of the way eases of suicide and attempted suicide in 1864 were ;—A woman who, in the term uncompromis ing language of the police records, " ripped open her abdomen ;" a man who attempted a similar Japanese feat but was foiled ,• • man who threw himself down • Thames Tunnel shaft ; and a man who attempted self-destruction by beating in his own head with a poker. Reverting to the river we find that a large proportion of the men drowned there are lighter men, and that many of these ere killed by the river steamers. Sometimes run down by one of them, sometimes losin their swell, it is to thiscanes that • not inconsiderable portion of the Thames accidental deaths are due. Four men wens killed in this way a few weeks beck, sad only tria darn ago the body of • youth was found floating in the river who had slipped fronehis lighter sad met his death in the same way. The duty of the polies in all such cases is uniform. The body is con- THE COBURG, 11.1111011.11 L.
