Let no one sup pose the writers were not sincere, though the lady who sat in the car might have in the flesh undergone the ordeal s of the correctional police. Let none suppose th a t the " . Union" now does not fire the Northern h eart and mov e th e sou l s o f those great masses which h ave l a i n so long beneath the weight of dollar bags, from the Canadian lakes to the Sus quehanna and the Ohio, to-day with a:fresh current of thought and feeling ; a new arterial system of hope and action has been put into them. One of the great triumphs of their young career is that they have slain the mother that fostered and bore them ; which had, however, become a step-mother and tyrannized them to d ea th. Th ere is no one in Con gress, there is not i n Senate, in Hous e o f Represen tatives, in pulpit, or stump, or in the forum, a man who has a word to say in this year of grace 1862 against a war against the press oompared with which there has been nothing known even in the days of Andrew Marvel. The utmost the boldest journals venture upon is to give warning to their agents to flee from some doubtful wrath to come. And the American people are very glad of it ; least ways, they don't appear at all dissatisfied. Here are billiard -table keepers and whiskey drinkers getting up public meetings, and all sorts of interests moving against taxation, but not a man cries out "murder," or even "robbery," tulle's " fire 4 " 13° .vieible extinction of all life in the press in its func tion of giving news. Devotion to the Union cannot do much more. When an American is content to do without news in his newspaper he has exhausted submission and forbearance, and made his sacrifice. My next letter will be from the neighbourhood of Fortress Monroe. The Rinaldo is still lying off Old Point Comfort, and two French vessels, one the Catinat, have hurried up to enjoy the spectacle of a renewed encounter between the knights in armour. The Racer is off Charleston, whence comes the rumour of another arrival of arms and muni tion in a steamer which ran the blockade. There is no news yet from the Nashville, and the shipowners are by no means happy in their minds. In the forthcoming encounter one of the opponents of the Merrimac intends to try large shells upon her. The Navy Department has given orders for the manufacture of a number of flat headed bolts on Whitworth's plan, to pierce the iron plates, if possible. In reference to this matter I may observe that an erroneous impression, for which I am in some degree responsible, appears to ' have been created in Europe that Capt. Dahlgren is of opinion that shell could be used with effec ground to about twice its present size. The field-officers' quarters, as well as the barracks and other offices, will be removed to another locality. It is also contemplated to take in a portion of Chatham dockyard, and to throw the barracks back as far as the residence of the master ropemaker ; the public road leading to the New-stairs will not, however, be blocked up, but communication with quit portion of the buildings will be maintained either by means of an arch thrown over the road, or by an under ground passage. The new barrack buildings will provide accommodation for 700 additional marines, thereby enabling 1,500 men to be quartered in them, 17 which all the demands upon the establishment will he met. The she of the new barracks has been officially inspected by Col. Langley, Deputy-Adju tant-General, The inspection of tilt; 3d depot battalion at Chat ham, under the command of Lleat,-Col. C. E. Paid lough; was • made yesterday by Majoi.-Gen. A. J. Lawrence, C. 8., Inspector-Gen e ral of Infantry, ac companied by Lieut.-Col. A. Alison, CB., Assist.- Adjutant-General. At 9 o'clock the depot battalion, consisting of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 19th Regiment, 51st King's Own Light Infantry, 75th, 81st, and 91st Regiments, assembled in front ° of its quarters at the but barrack , . g"-- - 4, :pot battalion has been reduced to about 600 men of all ranks, ot which number rather less than 400 were under arms yesterday morning. Aftera careful inspection of thci troops.the battalion' was marched to Chatham lines, where the officers and men were exercised a consi derable time in a variety of movements, which were very creditably executed. In a subsequent part of the day Major-Gen. Lawrence made the usual in spection of the books and accounts of each depot of the battalion, which brought the half-yearly inspec tion of the troops of the line at the garrison to a close. From the satisfactory manner in which the troops have acquitted themselves the report of the inspector-general is expected to be favourable. Major-Gen. A. B.

His theory is that iron shot at a low velocity will prove most destructive, and will solve the problem of meeting such antago nists, when guns have been constructed of adequate calibres. The Government of the United States is quite alive to the importance of this question, and their officers are not at all likely to treat it unskil fully or inefficiently. Even Congress begins to push forward the work, and readily votes money for the construction of an iron fleet, although Stevens' great ram is not altogether approved as a medium of expenditure. TIDE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. numbering five officers and 219 non-commissioned officers and men, was under the command of Lieut.- led In iI air va s ia enti ,eO. Of ;i0 Ler. ine. Of PROSPECTUS. This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing The rich and extensive copper ilver, and lead mines, tailed La Purisima and Dos Amigos with their Pertenen cias covering 56 acres, including all lodes and veins therein, situate in lluacayvo, Chihuahua, adjoining the State of Sonora, on the Gulf of California. Aliso for the purchase of a large tract of land surround ing these mines, held in perpetuity by virtue of a decree of the State, thickly covered with woods and forests, the -Whole estimated at 142,000 acres. and And further, for th e purpose of working the above mines, erectinc , works for the reduction of the ores, by which. 4:the rJoniparry will reap the double profits arising respec '4l'4 from mining and smelting. The rivers Fuarte, or Urique, and Papagochi running through the properties afford ample and most valuable water power. The Government has conceded, for a period of five years, absolute eltemption from all taxes, levies, and duties of whatsioev er ki n d or nature. T'ne presence of rich ores cropping out and appearing on th.e surface of these mines, and the value of the lodes, is 'established by the survey and report of Mr. Robert L. IV Aumaile, an English engineer- resident in Sonora, and the accredited Government mining engineer and assayer for that State, and fully corroborated in a valuable paper read /3, Mr. Charles Sevin, F.R.G.S., before the Royal Geogra- Pili cal Society of London, so far back as January 24th, 1 859 (See Journal of that Society for 1860).—Extracts from Reports to be seen at the Company's offices and in full -Prospectus. , The richn ess o f th e l ode is proved from assays made by D'Aumaile on the spot of ores taken promiscuously from, every part of the vein, by which an average of 33 per cer A t, of copper has been obtained, while those assays tested in Europe by Messrs. Johnson and Son, Basinghallsstreet, 'London and by M r . Th omas P enrose, assayer to Messrs. Richardson and Co., Swansea, give still more favourable results, leading to the inference that the yield of metal ex ceeds that of any copper mines yet discovered.—Statement 6fr os Assays to be seen a t t h e Company's offices and in full Ppectus. It is proposed by the Company to sme't the ores upon the ground, adjacent to the mines, and only to transport the rectal to the coast, thereby lessening the expense of carriage to the port of shipment. It is estimated that the very large triloy of gold and silver which the metal contains will be trafficient to pay the cost of transport of the copper to a European market. Very rich gold deposits are also found in various parts of the main vein. Under these circumstances it is scarcely necessary to say that the profits of the undertaking, with ordinarily prudent management, must be large, in further proof of which the Vendors have consented to postpone the payment of half the purchase -money until the net profits shall amount in any 'one year to 20 per cent, on the called-up capital. The purchase of this valuable mineral property, includ- Ing the exi s ti ng reduction works, plant, machinery, &c., together with the territorial grant, and all privileges attached thereto, without any reservation of rights or zoyalties, has been agreed for with the proprietors upon the following advantageous terms : That £lO,OOO be paid, and 5,000 paid-up shares be allotted to them on delivery of the property to the Com pany's confidential agent, to be despatched to Mexico for that purpose. That a deferred payment of £lO,OOO and an additional allotment of 3,000 paid-up shares be made when the net 'Profits shall amount in any one year to 20 per cent. on the called-up capital, That, on a di v id en d b e i ng declared, the shares given to the proprietors, in payment for the property, shall only be er insidered in value the same as the shares of thesubscribing s hareholders, whatever amount may have been paid up on t hem. Juan A. Robinson, Esq., of the port of Guaymas, Gulf of California, Sonora, has undertaken with the assistance of the Company's confidential agent, the management of the lite tines, and the establishment of the reduction works on spot, until such time a s th e en t er p r i se s h a ll h ave prove d l ' em unerative and a dividend s h a ll h ave b een d ec l are d . The •' long residence of this gentleman in the country, toge ther W ith his great practica experience and high commer cial 11 thog. ensuro to the Company an additional guaran tee for its success. Samples of th e ores, as well as of the copper, gold, and silver extracted from the mines, together with maps of the locality, may be seen at the offices of the Company. , All charges for ag enc y, promotion, advertisements, brokers' commission, legal and o th er expenses, including the costs and fees of registration of the Company, have been estimated not to exceed 3 per cent. on the nominal capital of the Company. Applications for shares may be made to the bankers and 'brokers of the Company in the affixed form.

The expeditionary force is nearly all embarked and concentrated at Fortress Monroe, or on the mainland between the James and York rivers. Be fore this letter leaves Boston it is probable I shall have reached the scene of operations, embarking either here or at Alexandria - or Washington, as the case may be, with my companions. The General commanding and the Staff have not yet gone on board the steamers detailed for their use, but the utmost is done to get stores and all the vast variety of materials connected with such an army and such an expedition in readiness, and, no doubt, this week will witness remarkable events around Fortress Monroe. If the Confederates are as well informed as they are supposed to be, they may be keeping the Merrimac to the last moment, till the whole force is ready to begin operations, and it will then be seen whether the assurances of the naval officers that they are quite prepared for her are well founded. Another iron clad steamer has arrived here to coal, on her way to Old Point Comfort, to aid the Moni tor. The Nangatuck is 101 ft. long, 20ft. beam, 7ft. depth of hold ; draws SA-ft. light draught, 9ft. when submerged to fight ; but she does not afford such protection to the gunners as the Monitor, though her deck is only a few inches above the surface whsn she is depressed by the admission of water. Her armament consists of one 100 pounder rifled gun and two 12 pounders to keep off boats and boarders, and she made 11 knots an hour on her voyage. Notwithstanding all the preparations of the naval authorities to frustrate any attempt of the Merri mac to run out, there is a great chance of her run ning the gauntlet, and of blowing up or destroying the large ocean steamers engaged to butt at her. We shall soon know more about it. Since last mail there is little to record, but on the whole the news is favourable, as it comes to us, for the Federals. The Confederates under Price and Van Dorn are said to have crossed the Boston Mountains, reduced to a suffering handful, and the Federal General Curtis, unable to pursue them, owing to the devastated condition of the country, has returned to Keithaville, Missouri. From Island No. 10 comes an admission of failure, though the bombardment was renewed on the 29th. The other night I went to hear Mr. Wendell Phillips deliver a lecture on the war at the Smith sonian Institute. The lecture-room was crowded-- not a black face to be seen, however. That circum stance was not so remarkable perhaps, but it cer tainly was worthy of note that no coloured man, as I am told, came to the subsequent lecture on Tous saint l'Overture, whom Mr. Phillips designates as greater than Napoleon or any one else, except perhaps old John Brown. I had heard that Mr. Phillips was a " great orator"—he is nothing of the kind. He has none of the burning force of the true orator, but he possesses much of the unadorned eloquence which distinguished Mr. Cobden. His manner is easy, natural, unimpassioned, but very earnest ; his language flows on easily and lucidly, without depth and without turbulence; his action is simple, unexaggerated, and expressive, and if he be not altogether either Cicero or Ismus, he deserves something better than rotten eggs and paving stones for his sentences. The very fact of his being permitted to appear at all and open his mouth in public in the district of Columbia was remarked upon as a singular proof of the vast change in public opinion effected within the last few months; but if I were to judge from the expressions of some of his auditors, such as Senator M'Dougall and others, who went away in high dudgeon, he would have been in Fort Warren very speedily had they pos sessed the power of issuing lettres de cachet. And indeed it did require some self-control on the part of a Unionist to hear the words of one who declared he was against the Union if it meant a constitution guaranteeing the rights of slaveholders, as it de manded great forbearance from any but a fanatic to listen to one who declared old John Brown was the greatest man that ever lived since lie who died for us was born. For a, British subject, too, it was hard to bear with the violence and intemperance ofsentiment uttered in the softest and most saccharine manner, for it could not ho very agreeable to him to hear that Mr. Phillips, in extinguishing Slavery, wished to make off h the t United : d ekof any States so Powerful th a t they could take ship, under any flag, any man they pleased! He made several attacks, covert and direct, on Great Britain ; but I am bound to say they elicited no applause from his audience, although his allusions to Fr emon t were received w i t h muc h cheer i ng . Wh en he de s p l i de clared he was " no t acqua i nte d w ith the mysteries of alt eyes were turned on the Pre sident'sraii - secretaries tting, his Go vernment who wer e i n t h e lecture - room , b ut they mande no sign. All thi s exaggera ti on a nd b a d taste '' and some members of are in favour with the " earnest" men on the Abo lition side ; they are supposed to indicate sincerity and strength of conviction and love of truth. Mr. Wendell Phillips would, I can easily believe, lay down his life as calmly for the sake of the cause as he would, if needs :were, head a crusade for it in which thousands would fall amid the horrors to which Earl Russell alluded in his speech the other evening—l mean to us out here, for it has only just been received ; and by parenthesis let me say that its moderation, temper, impartiality, and truth fulness have obliged the most anti-British papers to admit, while attributing to it the worst motives, that the conduct of the British Minister has been characterised by an undeviating adhesion to an honourable and strict neutrality. Defoe describes the treatment which a man may expect who acts in a similar manner between political parties, and Great Britain will, I fear, fare little better from either North or South when the war is at an end. For some time, however, whatever that end may may be, the attention of both parties will be devoted probably to the settlement of the negro question and its adjuncts, and with the end of the war comes a time of great trouble and fierce excitement. Can the people of the two sets of States ever live to gether again P How long will it be before the wild guerilla of the South can be reduced ? In a war extending over such a large portion of the Northern:continent of America, conducted under such different circumstances, it is not to be wondered that there is no uniformity of action among the leaders, and no general principles of con duct among the . subordinates„ :ar seen t avidence which satisfied me that the d ace ii when . . ...._ subordinates,,. i tt j d gus r t av a e s excesses Ee esses d b er - e a fo is re m lilie sbh4yd aa y e A v ie . they Nash ville,advanced last September to Munson's-hill, and re cently were guilty of smaller misdemeanours at Centreville. General Price returned the money which he had taken out of a Missouri bank to pre vent it falling into the hands of the Federalists to the rightful owners when he next advanced through that much vexed State or Territory—for a territory it may become if it be not now a province governed by a military legate. "We are a peculiar people, sir, and no one can understand us but ourselves," is a common saying in the States, Confederate and Federal—used alike by Louis S. Wigfall and Ed ward Everett. Certainly the results of self-know ledge do not show that it is peculiarly valuable if we look at the present war. When Mr. Raymond made his speech against the proposal to let the State of Naw York act as a sovereign State, and arm its own coasts and frontiers, he was fighting against the deep-rooted and innate secessionism which is found in the very life• blood of the Union. It is the great source of evil present and of evil to come. It made the whole body corporate of lowa, Governor and all, so elated mentally and bodily over the successes of their troops that the papers were obliged to give them a temperance lecture the other day. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York, Rhode Island—every State has its separate entity, and is treasuring up its struggles and its sacrifices, its losses and its victories, for some Armageddon of its own. State jealousies have been much developed by the war. The en listments by one State of the eitizens of another have been either openly forbidden or secretly op posed by the governors and politicians who de nounce the development of State rights in seces sion with the greatest force and vehemence. They all unite, it is true, to hunt down the fox or the lion, or whatever he may be who is destroying their fold, but they are animals distinct in species, and even in genera, nevertheless. If the South was a monomaniac in its faith that cotton was king, the North is almost equally mad in believing that it can, by opening "cotton ports" in such places as Beaufort and Fernandina, induce the great European Powers to depart from their rule of neutrality in the quarrel. As this war proceed it evolves a diver sity of ideas and principles in the great " bund" which is fighting for the Union. The South is tolerably homogeneous ; the North is actuated by motives as diverse and various as those which actu ated the leaders of the Holy Alliance. But there was no difference between Czar and Prussian King as wide as that which separates Halle& from Fre mont. The latter is, indeed, favoured above all men, because he is an incarnation of faith to millions— "the substance of things Loped for—the evidence of things not seen "—and so he is feted and be sworded and berhymed, because he represents an undeveloped idea. When he was removed from his command the officers of one of his regiments assem bled and voted that he was a good general and ought not to be removed. To Americans, save those in the regular army, that proceeding does not ap pear remarkable. Just imagine the officers of a regiment of Zouaves passing similar resolutions when Canrobert was superseded by Pelissier, or those of a Highland regiment acting in the same way when Sir Colin Campbell was passed over by General Cedrington ! A peculiar people indeed ! A very great people, too, with a future on this con tinent which, if not exactly that the phrenzied flights of their orators, when they expatiate before King Bunkum (rectius Buncombe) would make it, must be grand and prosperous. As a matter of contrast it would be worth while:for any one to look over the American papers before the reign of him of the " vultus instantis tyranni" and those of the present time. I have a journal now under my hand which, not content with criticising every movement of the military chiefs, gives the fullest details of every military operation, details the disposition and march of troops and ships, and includes an elegant extract respecting the President himself, whom it accuses of being a sort of Louis XIV., gallant, gay, and profligate, prostrate at the feet of the wife of a Cabinet Minister, whom it recommends an attack upon by public petition. Perhaps that particular journal is to-day the most noisy and determined supporter of Mr. Lincoln. Within the list few days for instance, Mr. Seward has done something or other to offend the delicate monster which called itself his organ, and aecordingly it is using its rougher voice, which " utters foul speeches and detracts," about him. His press and telegraph cen sorship and his passport system are, it now appears, " alike laughable ;" his imprisonment of suspected persons has done no good; and the end is, oh, miserable man! he will have to answer for these and other acts in violation o f t h e constitution, which will surely be tested by rigid inquiry. If th e head which bears a crown lies uneasily, what ought s i to be the state of the caput of a R e p u bli can Secre tary he of te S p tat e e f l th T e he h s il t l on w e i o th f S soYP much g l or ifi cat i on from the infe r i or creatures at the b ottom, is rolling down on him to their intense delight.

Their answer to such remarks generally is that "the press has done it all." The press and the politicians are believed by -those who detest both to be at the bottom of the mischief—and when it has been dis posed of they may find some difficulty in getting out of the power of their new masters.

The Sir James sailed from Mauritius on Jan. 31, the passage !to Gravesend being a very fair one. The number of troops brought home was 100 men of all ranks. A Swedish corvette arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon, and saluted the flag of the Port Admiral, &c. A numerous party of convicts arrived by early train from London at Chatham yesterday morning to be employed on the works connected with the extension and improvement of Chatham dockyard.

Paulet, CB., commanding the south-west district, and a numer ous staff, yesterday visited Portsdown-hill, near Portsmouth, and inspected the forts in progress of construction along the crest of the hill. His Royal Highness is expected to inspect the troops in gar rison at Portsmouth on Southsea-common to-day, prior to his return to London. For some time past the Royal Marine Barracks at Chatham have proved altogether insufficient for the accommodation of the largely increased number of officers and men attached to headquarters. It has been in consequence found necessary to quarter 400 men in one of the Line barracks at the garri. son, a course which the authorities have been obliged to adopt notwithstanding the manifest dis advantages of separating the men. Taking thi s into account, and also the probable speedy return of the Royal Marine battalion from Mexico, which will largely increase the strength at headquarters, the Lords of the Admiralty have decided on the immediate enlargement of the barracks, in accord ance with the plans laid before Parliament some three or four years back, when the sum of £60,000 was taken in the Estimates for the proposed work. Of this ninout a considerable sum has already been expended in the purchase of the land on which the additional barrack buildings will be erected, the proposed enlargement necessitating the r(lnoval of one large hotel, one tavern, and about 20 private houses. The whole of these have bceii taken down, and the site cleared as far as the boundary wall of St. Mary's parish church, to which the new bar racks will extend. The plans for the proposed en largement have been approved by the Admiralty, and the works will be immediately commenced. The block of buildings forming the right wing of the present barracks, inhabited principally by the single officers of the division , will be taken down and removed as far as the boundary wall of the church, which will increase the barrack parade- Col. the Hon. W. Fielding. The Winds or brought 11 officers, 463 men, the officers including Col. T. M. Steele, C. 8., and Lieut.-Lord E. Cecil. A number of women and children arrived with the same vessels. In the course of the day the whole body proceeded from Liverpool for London by the London and North-Western Railway. On Tuesday there was inaugurated with military ceremonial a monument on the esplanade of Edin burgh Castle to the officers and men of the 78th Highlanders, about 250 in number, who fell in the Indian campaign of 1857.8. The monument, which is erected by the surviving officers and men of the regiment, is in the form of a Celtic Cross, and is elaborately carved. The names of all the officers and. men commemorated are inscribed on the pedestal in old letters. Gen. Walker, commanding in the North British district, conducted the ceremonial, and made a short address on the services of the regiment to the troops present—namely, the Scots Greys, the 26th Cameronians, and a battery of Royal Artillery. THE BLACK PRINCE OFF THE WIGBT. As previously announced, the Black Prince iron frigate, fitting for commission at Portsmouth, yes terday made her experimental trial outside the Isle of Wight to test the capabilities of her enlarged rudder under steam. The original area of the rud der was 130 ft, but with the temporary wooden casing, under which she was tried yesterday, the area was increased to 153 ft, giving an increased area of 22.04 ft. The draught of water of the ship was, aft 23ft lin, and forward 22ft. The propeller is an improVed Griffiths's—that is, with the tip of the blades inclining forward, with a pitch of 30ft, a diameter of 24ft Ms, and an immersion of 2ft Tin. It is hardly necessary to state that the engines are by Messrs. Penn and Son, of 1,250 nominal horse power, made from the same pattern as the Warrior's. The ship was in command of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the reserve at Portsmouth, Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat at Ports mouth, and Mr. Miller, assistant•engineer of the 1 dockyard, superintending the proceedings on the part of the Admiralty, the machinery being under the control of Mr. Holliday, of Messrs. Penn and Sons, and Mr. Tucker, the chief engineer of the ship. Capt. B. A. Powell, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's ship Defence ; Commander Hope, R.N., and other naval offic er s w ere on boa r d as visitors. The ship cast off her fastenings to the Duke of Wellington, to which vessel she had been made fast since being undocked the previous day, at 9 50 a.m., and at slow speed left the harbour, increasing the revolutions of her engines to 40 as she passed the Spit Buoy, clear of the harbour channel, and to 52 revolutions as she passed the Nab, or Bembridge light vessel, where full speed was given to her and a course laid to give her the necessary distance from the light ship to make the circles, the Nab being taken as the point on which the circles were to be made. Like the Warrior, her sister vessel,theßlackPrince was fortunate in point of weather, the strong N.B. winds and tumbling seas which had previously pre vailed having subsided into a moderate westerly breeze with smooth water, so that the trials were made under most favourable circumstances. The first two trials were made to complete a circle at full speed, the time being taken from the giving the order to shift the helm, with 12 men at the wheel, which number of men was continued throughout. The first experiment was "hard a-port," the ship's head being on with the Nab, and the rudder was got over 16 deg. The first half of the circle was completed in 3 min. 52 sec., and the second in 4 min. 13 sec., completing the circle in 8 min. 5 sec. To these first half-circles, however, it will be neces sary to again refer. The next attempt at making a circle was thrown out of consideration altogeth er, owing,to a discrep ancy i n ti me, an d t h e suc eeed!ng attempt was also compelled to be thrown as i d e ec o oo w lul i ri n ssie g o, n. htwoa enthe schooner helm h comingad to b rightelif tshifted to athwart Sh ip ' sthaevoida The second su ccess f u l e xperiment was ma d e with the helm h ar d a - s t ar b oa rd, the rudder being gut over 13 degs., and the half circle be in g complet e d in 3 milt. 56 see., the second in 5 min. 53 s ee , , emu. plating the entire circle in 9 min. 49 see . The helm was n0 , .7 kept in the sumo position n.s, in makit:g this last. circle, the rudder being, of course, at the same angle, and a second circle (mitred upon, with out change in helm or rudder, the time, of course, in this instance being taken with the helm in the required position, and not from the moment of a given order. The half-circle W as ma d e , un d er t h ese circumstances, in 3 mi n ~, • 0- sec., the second half in 6 min. 6 sec., and the entire circle in 9 min. 38 sec. The next experiment was with putting the helm down hard a-port, and taking the time when the ship's head came on with the object (the Nab) whence the circle commenced. The first half- circle was completed in 3 rain. 54-4 see;, the:neeen4 , in 5 min. 2 sec., and the entire circle e ompletsa , in 8 min. 56 sec. The next trial. wao';‘t -4 11u1f...53; speed, the engines being stopped dead, the sh ip per fectly stationary, the helm a-starboard, and the . time being taken from the engines moving fairly al. 'end on the word being given. The rudder was got o . eer to 26 deg. before turning ahead, but after the eei , gines got into full play this was reduced to 24 dege. I owing to the stretching of the tiller ropes, or some other cause. The ship's head began to move round.. a little in this experiment, in answer to her helui,, before she actu:4ly got way upon her by the action. of her engines, a fact that deserves notice. Eight, points, or the quarter L'ef a circle, were made in 4 pair:. 7 scc. Sixteen points, nr half the circle, were made in 6 min 48 scc, and the entire circle was coin under precisely - similar Circumstances, but with the com pleted in 11 min 52 sec, The next trial was made helm aport. The rudder on ttijs occasion was got - . over to 27 deg. and keptto it, an extra turn 1 - ;nviing hen taken round the barrel of the wheel with ;lc; ropes, which may have caused the difference in I 're: degrees mainteined between this trial end the last.. Thu first eight points, or quarter c i r cl e , w e re made in 4 min &see; the 16 points, or h a lf- c i rc l e , in 7 min 16 sec, and the entire eircle was completed in 12 mia 20 sec. The revolutions of the engines during' tqa experiment, however, varied from 22 to 34, e The last trial concluded the completion of the circles. With reference to the - time given for the completion of the first portion of the circles, it is necessary to state that the point taken—tb a Nab light vessel— was only about a mile distant from the ship when the times were taken, and it is well known that the closer the object taken for a point is to• a ship in notingetitne to make a circle, the more in,lecurate the time-given for the first completed parts of the circle must be. The figures as representing the time in which the circles were completed may, howea afr, be taken as correct. A' the same time, as the pro.- ' setittrial is only a comparative one for the next trial, when the ship will be tried at the same marks and under, as near as possible, the same circum stances of wind and weather as yesterday, the temporary wooden casing being removed, and the: rudder being brought to its original area, the , means taken yesterday are all that can be desired under the circumstances, Arrangements have been made for bringing the rudder over to 35 deg. when the hydraulic steering apparatus is fitted to the ship, but the question remains to be solved. whether, under those circumstances, the rudder head, or outer sternpost, will stand such au im mense strain. It is but repeating an oft-told tale, the truth of which is acknowledged by most people, that the rudders of our screw ships are in their wrong position abaft the screw, and that the chily true remedy for our present weakness of steering and weakness of stern-frames would be the adop - tion of subaqueous rudders and non-lifting screws. The temperatinre of the ship below during the trial was much improved yesterday upon that of her trial of speed at light draughi on Nov. 19 last, on her ar rival at Spit Lead from Greenu'ck. On deck the ave rage. temperature was 49 deg. the the engine -room platform the average was 85 03. h/ the stokeholes the seven thermometers gave an average, commen cing from forward to aft, of 79.6, 96.6, 102-6, 102 0, 91.6,101.3, and 80.6. At her present draugLt of water the ship's area of midship section is 1,1591 t., with a displacement of 6,384 tons. The area of 1-if...! screw blades is each 66ft. In outward appearance the hull of the Black Prince is much more graceful than the Warrior's ; this is chiefly owing to a less breadth of bow above the water-line, and to her hammock berthing forward and her head having. been raised. considerably above those of the War rior. This work has been done since the ship's are rival at Portsmouth, and, although it certainly can not help her materially in a sea-way, it still adds much to, as we have said, the gracefulness of her outward appearance. An immense amount of work: has been done to the ship since her arrival at Ports mouth in the shipwright's department, comprising the fitting of her hammock berthing fore and aft, the arching of her upper deck ports for her Armstrong guns, head, boats, crutches, davits, bridges, sky lights, recond catheads, cabin fittings, and general fittings of upper and maindccks. In progress are the fitting of the capstan for steam power, the examina tion of water-tight and ballast compartments, the bed for the auxiliary engine, ventilation of the magazines, making maindeek ports watertight by vulcanized indiarubber linings, fitting sluice cocks, <<nd a mul tiplicity of other work, together with the construc tion of a "head" for the accommodation of the =ell: at sea. This latter innovation is the result of the Warrior's cruise at sea, the experience gained of that occasion proving that the "head" of a ship in its ordinary position is inaccessible to the crew of an iron cased ship, owing to the liveliness of the • motion of the latter description of vessel over that of an ordinary wooden constructed ship at sea. The work in the engineers' department, although not of so extensive a nature as that of the shipwright's department, has still been of an unusual character, although having little to do with the maker of the engines. In this department the chief points in the completion of the ship's fitment consist of the ship ment and fixing of her auxiliary engine, and the fitment of her steering hydraulic apparatus. The ship was brought into harbour again at the conclu sion of the trials, and berthed alongside the Belle rophon hulk temporarily, her orders being to go alongside the dockyard and receive her masts, &e. The coals used were specially placed on board for the trials and were the same as were supplied to the Warrior on her trial trips, and which are also kept in store for the use of her Majesty's yachts Nixon's Navigation Steam Coal from the Aberdare pits. The mean revolutions of the engines during the trials were—at full speed, 583-; at half speed, 32, It would be'almost superfluous to speak of the performance of the machinery of the ship after what has already been said of its working on her trial of speed, and also of the working of the Warrior's, which are from the same manufactory and made from the same patterns as those of the Black Prince. 131 PROVED FINJINCLAL PROSPECTS OF INDIA. (From the Times.) Nothing can be more cheering than the anticipa tions of the Indian press as to the prospects of tho Indian revenue and expenditure. Although the licence-tax has been repealed, and the income-tax appears likely to yield only two millions of revenue, the balances in the Indian Exchequer have risen to the almost incredible sum of eighteen millions. The military expenditure is reduced to eleven and a half millions from upwards of twenty millions sterling, and we are gradually getting rid, by v i rtue of this very economy, of the principal cause of our danger, substituting for it the most Efficient guarantee of safety i n the sh ape of an European army really adequate to the demands of th e ser vice. The prospects of trade are said t o b e good. The rise in the price of cotton, oc cas i one d b y the c i v il war in America, will di s t r ib ute far into the remo t e interior the means of contributing to t h e revenue. The stamp duty appe ars t o h ave been a complete success, and to raise a consider able sum with very little trouble or discontent, The railways are advancing towards completion, and penetrating every year deeper and deeper into the interior (Este which lets of an enormous continent, have hitherto. by want of roads and deructs "water connnunication beenalm os toff ' civilised World. The _ , cut from the internal nav i gation of India is rapidly • improving under the of agenev companies which have invented a peculiar Blass '' otstearner,admi rably adapted for the navigation of her shallow waters. In fact, all those things which, under the Government of the East India Company, were always in the Paulo Post Tutrerunz tense—always about to be done, and never done—are now actually coining to pass. Add to this the mystery of ihe power of India to absorb the precious metals with out limit seems now in a fair way to be solved. The Government has commenced to issue its notes, and to test, for the first time, the real state and position of the Indian currency. The effect of this operation will be to enable the Government to become pro. prietors of four millions of its own stock, whist, it will hold as security for the excess of notes issu e d above the bullion reserved to meet any demand that may bo made. It may, perhaps, be thought that the terms granted to the Bank of Bengal have been unnecessarily liberal; but any error of this kind, if an error has been committed, will not be difficult to remedy.
