NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A quieter tone pervades the general discount market to-day, and rather lower rates are now cur rent, a favourable impression having been created by the abandonment of the loan for France. Capi talists are more eager to enter into transactions, and the mercantile community derives the advantage of being enabled to negotiate the - r securities at quo tations slightly under the Bar, England mini mum. In the Liverpool Cotton Marl steady demand was experience,' were sold, 2,500 of which we ,on and -o.lons were well Speculation. Prices of 9' maintained. The prop ..d of the North Western Riailwav for the past half year is at the , cent. per annum. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday comprised the withdrawal of £lO,OOO in foreign gold. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was a decline in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. The French Loan affair is still a subject of con versation, and the idea prevails in some quarters that the contemplated advance will yet be arranged privately, as M. Fould will no doubt require assis tance in order to carry out his scheme of concession. There is still, however, an absence of positive in formation upon the subject, and it is useless to refer to the various statements circulated at the Stock Exchange and elsewhere. The tendency of the English Market has been rather more favourable owing to purchases based upon the prospect of easier money through the abandonment of the French loan. A favourable impression has also been produced by the large quantities of gold coming from Australia, but the rise has only represented g per cent., Consolsbeing 193 for transfer, and 93k for the account.

ANOTHER NEW SPECULATIVE SITE. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. The advantages that must accrue to the towns of Wool wich, Greenwich, Deptford, and surrounding neighbourhood by the proposed removal of St. Thomas's Hospital from its Present position to that of a more suitable site at Lewisham, cannot be too highly estimated, whether in a social or a commercial point of view. The site in question is one of the most stately in the south of London, and the district of Lewisham is prover bial as the healthiest in this great metropolis. The estate has ,a gravelly soil, and is situate about 60 feet above the high road, on the apex of a hill, contiguous to that of Blackheath, and commanding lovely scenery; the air, light and bracing, is of the purest, and free from the smoke of London or neighbouring facto ries, and will tend materially to the rapid restoration of the convalescent patients. Another great desideratum is that the site offered will have the advantage of a siding, or branch line, of railway f rom the contemplated new railway to Tonbridge, about t 0 be cons , rcizted by the South Eastern Railway Company, and to pass through a portion of this estate ; se that for the general convenience of 'the public it will be equally advan tageous, or perhaps more so to the patients, than any new site contiguous to its present position. The sitpposition that the removal of the institution at a d istance requiring only 12 minutes by rail from London bridge would be inconvenient to the public is erroneous, aeeing that hundreds of cases occur where the patients to St. Thomas's Hospital come from the districts of Woolwich and Deptford, &c., and not from the neighbourhood of S outhwark—but from all parts of London—north, south, east, and west, wherever the invalid may reside or the governor's interest for an order of admission be available— and as for accidents, they do not necessarily occur in the neighbourhood of a hospital for the convenience of admis- Sion therein. The Charing Cross extension line will shortly be open t Lewisham, where patients can be conveyed in about 15 minutes to Lewisham, less time than now occupied in coming from westward to London-bridge; and it is quite probable that the demand for admission into this rural hospital would be greatly in excess over that of its present applicants, seeing that the time required for the recovery of the patient would as a rule be much less than now necessary, and the hospital conse quently rendered capable of receiving, and administering to an increased number of patients. A further advantage is that the schools would be better attended, and the metals of the students far advanced, by being withdrawn from the vice of a London life. There is ample room on the estate for the erection of a suitable college, as also a sanatorium, with park and pleasure gar dens. The parish of Lewisham is remarkably low rated, and the estate has the advantage of a main sewer, together with water and gas, and every requisite for an establishment of this character. The price of the land, which is freehold, will not exceed X 1,200 per acre, and it is computed that this land could be Purchased and the required buildings erected at a cost not touch exceeding that required for the land alone in the neighbourhood of London. The pop elation is rapidly increasing in Blackheath, Lees, New Cross, Greenwich, Deptford, Lewisham, &0., and in 20 years hence will be surrounded by a district almost as numerous as that of Southwark. The removal of St. Thomas's Hospital from its present site does not materially inc onvenience that locality or district, seeing that the Patients are not necessarily inhabitants of the Hospital district, and that the institution known as Gay's Hospital, (° PPosite to it) w ill rem ain, and always u rgent c ases t h a t m i g ht o th e rwisehave b: open to receive been taken to St. Thomas's Hospital.

Mr. MASSEY brought up the report on the vote of supply, which was agreed to, and it was arranged that the house go into committee of Supply on Friday next. The supplementary naval estimates were brought up by Lord PAGET, and were laid on the table. The house then adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. LA W 121 , T.ELLIGENCE.—(This -MIA ROLLS COURT. (Before Sir John Romily.) COVERDALE T. COURE. His Honour said--The question is whether under the will the testator, who gave £3,000 to his daughter, Elizabeth Slack, during her life, after wards to her children, is dimi nished from £3,000 to 2,000 by the codicil. The codicil does not affect the real estate, but it is perfectly good, so far as it disposes of the personal estates. My opinion on the proper construction of the will is, that it does reduce it to £2OOO. His Honour was of opinion that, by the codicil, there was no conversion of the real and personal estate of the testator, and that the legacy of £3,000 given by the will was reduced to £2,000 by the codicil, and made a declaration to that effect, with costs out of the estates. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THIVAITES V. TIINTAITES. The hearing of this case was resumed this s morning. Mr. Thwaites, in reply to Mr, Kerslake, said he was in duced to call in Dr. Davis to see his wife with respect to the state of her mind, in consequence of a remark made by her brother, living. in London. Cross-examined by Dr. Twiss--I recollect Mrs. Thwaites returning from a visit to her friends in London in July, 1856. She remained away ten weeks, and it was not until repeatedly urged that she returned home, Mr. Keddle never said it would be unsafe for her to return to him. I recollect having a struggle with Mrs. Thwaites about a desk. It occurred in the nursery. I -can't remember whether we dined together that day. It was not in the dining room the struggle took place. I had once before a ifiniler struggle for the desk, Mrs. Thwaites had insulted me about some letters. On one of the occasions it might have been in the dining room. 1 never took possession of the desk and letter she was writing at the time. I tried to do so, but could not. I will swear I did not see the letter, neither did I ascertain it was written to her sister. I don't recollect whether it was after or before the struggle that I gave my wife my watch, purse, and pocketbook. I gave them to her as I was tired of life. She gave them back, but she did not utter words of consolation at the time. I recollect taking out my wife's teeth. I don't recolct the number. Mrs. Thwaites when I married ,her did not have fine teeth. The teeth I made for her were.fine looking. I did not prefer He was a surgeon, and a tt en d e d t o t' clean ly. six I It It is teeth ii:very offensive if used merely f or a at this sitting looking at the artificial teeth made for my w if e to t h e natural ones. In the last lot t ake n out by me, Mr. Lane addo administer w n was ater present . chloroform at Mrs. Thwaites' desi re . I o ff ere d thet o tme personmakpeo mr temporary usingyw if wife purpose. i a t ' s u b The diamond ring worn by Mrs. Thwaites before her father's death was purchased out of my own pocket, and. na - out of the £36 allowed . her for dress. It was after the quarrel about the diamond ring that Mrs. Thwaites began to take her meals in the nursery. When she came to take her meals in the dining-room, I said I could take mine up stairs. I have spoken of everybody having a poison in their own house. I never told Mrs. Thwaites I had a subtle poison I had discovered while practising photography. I never told her it was instantaneous in its effects, and was not discoverable after death. I have heard Dade use opprobrious names to my wife, but then it was in reply to those used by her. I never heard her call her " a long liar" and a " bully." I have heard Mrs. Thwaites call Hannah Dade my . kept mistress. I never used harsh expressions towards my wife before the servants. In 1860 was engaged in scientific pursuits, so I was irregular in the hours I returned home in the evening. I cannot tell the time I returned the night before Mrs. Thwaites left me. There is no circumstance that fixes the date on my mind. I recollect one of the servants telling Mrs. Thwaites that she was Damiani's kept mistress. I reproved my servants generally for using such language. I never acc use d Mrs. Thwaites of being intimate with officers and gentle men in Hyde-park before marriage. I had complained of her speaking to an officer that she did not know, and she desisted. I don't think I ever referred to the subject after marriage. I did not dismiss Hannah Dade, because she was useful to me in my profession. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) AMLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST AN EATING HOUSE KEEPER.—Henry Godden, of 72, Munster-street, Regent's-park, eating .house keeper, was charged with being drunk, and causing the death of a female, at present unknown, by knocking her down with a pony and cart, in Regent-street. Mr. Edward James, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner, and Inspector Garforth, of the E Division, attended to watch the case. It appears that between eight and nine last night the pri soner was driving his pony and cart down Langham-place towards the Regent's Park, and when near Mortimer-street he saw something in his way and pulled up his pony very sharply, and in doing so overturned the pony, at the time going at the rate of six miles an hour. The prisoner was himself thrown out, and his arm on his being raised was found to be broken. The pony, on getting on its legs again, started off and knocked down the poor woman, who was crossing Mortimer-street. She was immediately picked up and taken to the Middlesex Hospital, but expired on the way. The prisoner was remanded. A CANDIDATE FOR SUICIDEe—A respectable looking young female named Eliza Curtis, was charged as follows : A young man said he was passing the Serpentine last night about 9 o'clock, when he saw the young woman loitering about the bridge, and sobbing. He watched her, and believing from her violent manner that she was going to commit suicide, he watched her, and then spoke to a constable, who, on s2eaking to her, was told by her that she was going to throw herself in the water. A constable said the young woman had been drinking, and told him she was unhappy and intended to drown herself. Prisoner said she was unhappy, but not tipsy. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her for a week, that she might, by reflection, become in a better state of mind.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mills preen., and the short exchange on London is 25f 150 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £5 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 113 to 114 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 34 per cent. At these rates the importation of gold from the United States would leave a trifling profit. POLITICAL PRISONERS.—Above the lighthouse is the castle of Belver, which is the state prison. Here, as elsewhere, we found prisoners " of opinion" in irons. Twenty-five poor wretched people of that description were moved here from Ceuta about a fortnight ago, and are, as elsewhere, "fort mal traite." Amongst them is a former bishop, and a major-general in the Spanish army, who are chained together, and forced to sweep the court of the castle ; and, with an infamous anxiety to increase their misery, they are obliged to perform thi s d u t y w ith short om s country, as the bishop and the general who are now in the enjo handled brooms in order to oblige th em i n thi s h ot c li mate to stoop, and consequently double th e i r l a b ours. Th i s, of course, is the act of the Governor, as the l eng th o f t h e broom handles certainly was not sent from Ceuta. One consolation is, that this cruel system of arbitra r y p ower brings with it a system of perfect equality, and " S. E. Il Capitan-General" is just as likely in the course of th e revo lutions to taste the comforts of i f c the threaten os h orshort-handled this dl. ed unhappybro yment:of them.—. From the Duke of Buckingham's P rivat e Diary. THE TAKING OF GIBRALTAR.... I remembered han how often the present King of France) Charles X., had b • told my father and me the story of his being summoned to meet almost all the Catholic princes of Christendom, and all the flower of the French and Spanish armies, as to a party of pleasure, to see the " taking of Gibralter," where various amusements, and bull-fights, and balls were pro vided to while away each day of anxious expectation when h e propitious morning at last arose which was again to plant the flag of Spain upon the walls of Gibraltar. So certain did they consider themselves of conquest, that dinner and a ball were prepared at Algesiras for General Elliot and his officers when made prisoners. At length the Spanish batteries moved down, constructed with all the care that science could bestow and art invent. The Academie Francaise contributed its labours to improve upon these m i g hty engines of destruction —and they moved down, the monum e nts of the combined science as we ll as anger o f Europe, united against this one object so near to the vanity, so dear to the interests, of the parties engaged in the at tempt. The princes witnessed the scene from the first parallel, and the surrounding hills were crowded with the population of the country, ; fancv ..,-ng even the reality of the visionary existence of the Queen of Spain in her chair, who had vowed to remain there until she saw the standard of Spain float upon the walls of the fortre ss s h e ca lled her own. In a few hours all was dust and ashes, and the few survivors amongst the assailants owed their lives to British generosity and humanity.—From the Duke of Buckingham' a frivate Diary.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT HACKNEY. FALL OF SEVERAL HOUSES, AND GREA:r LOSS OF LIFE—THIS DAY. This morning, about half-past ten o'clock, several new houses about being built in the Amherst-road, Hackney, only a few yards distant from the Hackey-road railway station, suddenly fell in with a fearful crash. As nearly as could be ascertained, the following is an authentic list of the sufferers : John Fuller, aged 60, died on his way to the German Hospital. Jacob Ketteridge, killed on the spot—impaled through the body by a joist of timber. George Rathbone, a boy—killed on the spot. INJURED. Taken to the German Hospital— Thomas Sherman, aged 17, not expected to re cover, son of the road surveyor. Charles Mann, seriously. John Clarke, do. William Abel, broken leg. Thomas Bayley, seriously. Joseph May, slightly. Henry Walding, fractured arm. Another man, with arm fractured, taken to the German Hospital; name unknown. There were 30 men engaged on the building at the time of the accident. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, FEB. 11.—Cotton Goods.— There is very little change in the cloth-market since last Tuesday. The prices of cloth are nominally dearer, but business is on a small, almost trifling, scale, for India and most ether markets. The home trade is still suffering, and is very flat, but rather more business is reported in printing cloths. There have been some offers for India cloths, but at prices which could not lead to business. Letters and tele grams from India speak of lower prices and large stocks, but up to the date of these accounts news had not reached there of the amicable settlement of the American question. In yarns there has been con siderably more business done to-day, and prices are about Id per lb. higher than last Tuesday. There has been an increase of demand for2o's and 30's water twist for Germany at the advance abovementioned. The business done altogether has been rather large, and at last week's prices much heavier sales could have been effected. At the advance there has been some fair sales for India, the Mediterranean, and home trade, as well as Germany, The strengthening tendency of prices checks business, but not to the same extent in yarns as in cloths. Manufacturers manifest no anxiety to sell at the present inadequate rates, and show much firmness. We regret to hear that two manufacturers north of this are announced this morning as having stopped payment, and almost every market-day brings accounts of factories being closed in various parts of this district, or about to close immediately they have used up present stocks of cotton. The distress among the operatives is beginning to show itself more and more through the returns of application for relief from poor-rates. Last week the number of persons returned as having received relief was 8,002, against 7,200 in the pre vious return for the township of Manchester. In the Charlton Union (including a large and populous district of the city of Manchester) during the week ending Feb, 1, 2,532 persons were relieved, and last week 2,255. At Blackburn last week 7,331 persons received out-door relief, against 6,750 the previous week. A soup kitchen has alSo been opened there, which distributes 2,500 quarts per day. In Man chester,where the closing of mills has not progressed to so great an extent as in other parts of the dis trict, there is some improvement this week; 'the number of hands totally out of employment is 6,532 against 7,197 last week. On short time this week there are 14,306 against 15,575 last week; and the number working full time is 26,643 against 24,677 last week. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market :—" With the exception of certain descriptions of printing cloths, in which there is more doing at somewhat better prices, the market is without change since Tuesday last. For nearly all otter kinds the demand continues on the smallest possible scale ; but as a rule there is no anxiety on the part of manufneturers to sell, and prices are well supported!" LEEDS, llth.—For a Tuesday's market there has been a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, and the intaket was cheerful in tone. The amount of business done was not large, and was confined chiefly to fabrics for spring wear, in cluding Meltons and other low and medium priced articles. The reports as to the general condition of the manufacturers in the surrounding district show that there is part short-time working, but not more than there was a month ago. The state of American affairs is inducing considerable caution, which in some degree extends to the Canadian trade, The home trade is steady, but far from being brisk. There is nothing new to notice in the wool trade; but prices rule much the same as last month. ROCHDALE, 10th.—There has been a moderate market for flannel and wool to-day ; bnt the parcels purchased were generally for immediate require. ments, and were small. There is a little slackness in the trade generally, the demand whether forhome or exportation being flat. The Yorkshire goods' trade has shown a trifling improvement. Prices, those of goods as well as those of wools, keep steady. TBIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Feb. 12.—Wind this day at noon—North Westerly; light breeze, and cloudy weather, with rain iR the night.

A WHOLE FAMILY SUFFOCATED.—A most dis tressing occurrence took place at Cardiff on Monday morn ing, causing the death of four persons. A man named Patrick Connell, residing in a back house in Ellen-street, New-town, Cardiff, together with his wife and two children, were found dead in their beds. It appears that on Sunday night, the weather being exceedingly cold, and there being no fireplace in their sleeping apartment, they kindled a quantity of coal in a tin pitcher, which they placed in the room before they went to bed. On Monday morning they were discovered dead in their bed by some of the neighbours, and medical aid was procured,but no sign of life was appa rent in either case. The man was 40 years old, and his wife 25 years, the daughter 2i years, and an infant boy only 10 days old. An inquest was held on Monday even ing, before Mr. R. L. Reece, the coroner of the county,and a verdict. of "Died by suffocation by inhaling carbonic acid gas" was returned. It may be remembered that in the trial of Mires for swindling and abuse of confidence, a good deal was said of a sum of 1,575,000 fr. allowed to M. do Pontalba for services rendered. The liquida tors of the Caisse des Chemins de Fer instituted an action against that person to recover the amount, but as the case was brought before the Chamber of Commerce, the defendant pleaded that the court was not competent to entertain the suit. The court, however, decided that it was, and condemned the defendant by de fault to pay the sum claimed. He appealed to the Impe rial Court, still insisting that the Chamber of Commerce was incompetent. Pleadings of considerable length were heard, and judgment was given yesterday, the court decid ing in favour of the defendant, and ordering the parties, if they chose to plead further, to take the suit before the civil tribunal. THE YELTERTON CASE.—The exceptions taken to the charge of Chief Justice Monahan by counsel for the defendant at the late celebrated trial of Thelwall v. Yelver ton have been lodged in the Common Pleas Office, Da llll4 Vie arguments therefore will take place neat terms SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER —TUESDAY.

JOSEPH GOSS (OF WOLVERHAMPTON) AND WILLIAM RYALL (OF BIRMINGHAM), FOR £lOO A-SlDE,—These members of the P.R. contended for £5O a-side on Tuesday, the 24th of September, last year, the meeting taking place in the home district, when Goss proved the winner in 37 rounds, fought in two hours and 50 minutes. This was a hard fought affair, both men acquitting themselves in a man ner which gave satisfaction to their friends. Notwithstand ing Ryall had on this occasion to cry " Hold I enough," yet his backers considered there were circumstances attend ing that encounter that placed him under considerable dis advantage, and that with better care and more rigid train ing he would be in a more favourable position to contend successfully; and, as the Brum was anxious to retrieve his lost laurels, the match which took place yesterday was made. As on the first occasion, the belligerents were not confined to weight ; but in this the advantage materially preponderated in favour of Ryall, who, when he last scaled, was stated to pull down list 41b, although there can be little doubt he was not far short of being 12st when he en tered the ring. Goss weighed, on Saturday last, lOst 101 b, and in height is about Mt 8f ; so the Brum, in addition to weight, had here again the advantage, and unquestionably, when in the ring, looked a formidable antagonist. The men agreed to contend in the home circuit, and Ryall, with his Birmingham friends, attended by Joe Wareham, his trainer, arrived in the metropolis on Monday. Yestermorn, before the break of day, all who intended to be there were up and on the wing. When the selected spot had been gained, the commissary lost no time in making the needful preparation ; and all being ready, the combatants entered the lists, Goss being the first to do so. Ryall had for his seconds Joo Wareham and Bob Travers: (the black), while a couple of noted retired members of the ring went in with Goss. The odds were 2to lon Goss, who, like his antagonist, was in admirable fettle. At 10 o'clock the men were left at the scfatch to commence the battle. The attitude of each was remarkably good, though the superiority of size on the part of Ryall was striking. There was a good deal of caution exhibited on the part of both, but at length Rya: got home BO effoo6voly with hiv., light on the left cheek as to gain the first of the three events, and thus, to the amazement of Goss's friends, stole upon his man in a manner by no means anticipated. The first bout lasted eight minutes. There was again much of cau tious manoeuvring, Goss, in the manner which he shifted in all parts of the ring, displaying in a =liked manner lightness and rapidity of action. Ryall followed his man up, but, from the caution displayed, the battle did not by any means exhibit the expected features. Indeed; there was little of that severe work which, judging from their preced ing performance, was anticipated. In this manner 12 rounds were fought, but, while the 13th was in progress, the police made their appearance, and a move became inevitable, the combatants, up to this enforced suspension of hostilities, having fought one hour and 28 minutes. When they left the ring there did not appear much mischief done, although Goss afterwards complained of having, in a fall, hurt his right shoulder at the commencement, and o w i ng t o t hi s ao cident his friends attribute his subsequently fighting in a style so different to what was anticipated. With a ll poss ib le d es patch another ring was again formed, but no sooner had the men got to work than the rural constabulary ma d e their appearance, with the usual result. For the third time the ring was formed, and at 30 minutes past two o'clock the belligerents commenced operations, but did not appear at all in a hurry to go in with a will. From the 20th round, however, Goss changed his tactics and fought in sore thing like his old style, and his friends fully expected to see him bring the battle to a speedy termination. In the 27th round Goss got home his right with force on the body, and Ryall, from the effects of these visitations, appeared in a distreped condition. Goss, however, was at this critical moment not able to follow up his advantage, and owing to this the Brum was enabled to recover. Both men now re sumed the old tactics of out-fighting, and round after round became wearying and resultless. At length, in the 37th and last round, as the men stood looking at each other, the referee told them they must either fight or draw, and as neither considered themselves able to finish, they agreed to shake hands, and thus settle matters. The battle, in the last ring, occupied one hour and fifty minutes, so that three hours and eighteen minutes were consumed in the whole—the last round occupying fifty minutes. TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS.

Malt was a dull inquiry, yet no further change took place in prices. Oats moved off steadily, and their value was fairly sup ported. Both beans and peas sold heavily, and Monday's prim were with difficulty obtained. A. moderate business was passing in flour, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE NAVY. ♦ The iron screw frigate Defence, 18, Captain. Powell, C,8., got up steam at Chatham yesterday morning, with the ititentien of getting under way and proceeding to the gore. - The protracted de' lays, however, which have hitherto 'attended the completion of this vessel again prevented her leav ing, as, although everything was yesterday ready for her quitting her moorings at Folly Point, it waei found that her screw could not be got to work in the " banjo." In the afternoon one of the divers was sent down to examine the cause of the obstrne tion, but, although the bottom was minutely ex^• mined, it could not be ascertained. It appears likely, therefore, that should all further attempts to get the screw into working order fail, the Defence will have to be again docked for the defects to be mado good. There appears to be little doubt that the sternpost must have became injured during the time; the Defence was lying moored to the sheer hulk in Chatham harbour, when she grounded at every spring tide, and was subjected to very severe strains, although at the time it was believed that no injury had been caused. Preparations were yesterday commenced at Chatham dockyard for the construction of a lofty and commodious shed adjoining No. 7 slip, on which. will be erected the whole of the machinery required to be used in preparing, shaping, and fitting the enormous slabs of iron intended to cover the steam. frigate Royal Oak, 51, 1,000-horse power, which. will have her sides encased from stem to stern. So anxious are the Admiralty to have the Royal Oak completed by as early a date as it is possible to be accomplished that an extra number of shipwrighta and other operatives have been placed upon her, making the number of workmen now at work ont her about 470. In addition to these, however, about 50 smiths are constantly employed in the smithery preparing the iron girders which bind togeitrhoenr work, th a the timbers, bweerlsl a , knees, u andotshaw er yersand 4 portions o: the joiners, thus swelling the total number of hands emploped on thi s iron - cased frigate. to 600 of all trades. Three of the steam saws are also constantly employed in preparing the timber for the ship. The whole of the outsideplank, ing is now worked, and in readiness to receive the armour plates—and a considerable portion of the inside planking is also completed. The main and, lower deck beams are also fixed ; the upper deck beam will be of iron, and these are now being pre pared at the Butterley Ironworks, Derbyshire. The Royal Oak will not be covered with armour plates of an uniform thickness, as was at first intended. Her broadside plates, on both sides, will be 4 inches thick, those at the stem and stern being 3 inches in thickness, tapering to 2 inches at the least exposed parts, The shed which is to be erected adjoining the slip on which the Royal Oak is building is to be sufficiently large to contaip the whole of the machinery required in building three other vessels of the same description, the Admiralty having decided on constructing two additional stone slips at the eastern end of the dockyard, for building iron-plated vessels of the Royal Oak class. In:addition to these the line-of-battle screw:steamer Bulwark, 91 guns, standing ma the No. 5 slip, where she is about two-thirds finished, is to be altered to a 51-gun iron-clad frigate immediately after the Royal Oak is out of hand. The War Department transport Gorilla, Mr, Long shipped a compl e t e b attery of 12 po t u e n r having d , erArmstrongs, and 2 20-p oun d er 100 122 - as Armstrongs, with sights, screws, carriages, &c., sailed from Chatham yesterday, for Sheerness, where the "guns will be landed, and mounted on the fortifications commanding the entrance to the Medway. A quantity of the Armstrong shot and shell was also shipped in :the - same transport for the supply of the guns. - Mr. John. Waite, 'of the Medina Dock, Cowes, Isle of Wight, has received an order from the Ad miralty for the construction of 20 lifeboats, cutters, and gigs, their lordships having determined that every ship serving on the West Coast of Afric& shall in suture be supplied with one of each descrip tion. The cutters will be capable of carrying a gun and ammunition in addition to their ordinary crew, and will possess buoyancy sufficient to prevent the hull of the boat, with its gun, ammunition, and crew, from sinking in the event of its being struck by shot, or stove from any other cause. Her Ma jesty's yachts are all supplied with the same de scription of boat, as are also all the vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fleet. Her Majesty's ship Hero, when conveying his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to Canada, was also supplied with one of them. An order has also been given by the Board to Mr. White to furnish three additional boats, for the use of the Government pilots at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheerness, when their duties call them afloat. This order has been given in consequence of the late fatal accident at Spithead, when, by the capsizing of an ordinary gig in rough weather, Mr. Jones, jun., Government pilot, and three men were drowned. It is said to be under the consideration -of the Admiralty to supply her Majesty's ships on the East Coast of Africa and the Cape stations with the lifeboats, as well as those on the West Coast. The Emerald, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cumming, arrivsd at Spithead yesterday morning from the westward. Rear-Admiral of the Blue Augustus C. Kuper, C. 8., hoisted his flag, as the successor of Sir James Hope on the East India and China station, yester day at Portsmouth, on board the Euryalus screw frigate, and afterwards proceeded on short leave of absence. Capt. John J. S. Josling (1861), who has succeeded Capt. Gordon in command of the Eurya lus on the change of flag, also joined the ship yes terday. Capt. Gordon, whe has accepted the com mand of the Amphion, screw frigate, on the Medi terranean station, vice Birch, invalided, will pro ceed to take the command of his ship probably in her Majesty's ship Himalaya. The Glasgow screw frigate, recently launched at Portsmouth, and fitted with engines of 600-horse power nominal, by Messrs. Ravenhill, Selkeld, and Co., got up steam in the steam basin to test her ma chinery for the first time. The Glasgow is one of the latest and noblest specimens of our wooden frigates. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain George H. Seymour, C. 8., sailed from Portsmouth yesterday at 7 a.m. for Gravesend to embark his Majesty the King of Belgium for Ant werp. The Royal yacht returns to England with the Princess Frederick William of Prussia. THE ARMY.
