CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—John Field, a labourer, of 9, Belmont-place, was charged with, causing the death of Wm: - Forest Allenby by striking him on the head seve ral times while fighting in the Horse and Groom public house, Great P tland- street. Mr. Robert Norrish, of the Horse and Groom, Great Portland-street, said—On Monday afternoon the prisoner and the deceased, who I knew by the name of " Punch," were in my house, and a fight took place between them, " Punch" striking the prisoner the first blow in the mouth. There were no words passed between them. I, after the exchange of a few blows, turned the prisoner out, and " Punch " left about an hour and a half after. That is all I know about it. Inspector Gasforth, of the E division, said he understood the witness closed the door and encouraged the fight. The man "Punch" died on Wednesday night. Mr. Norrish, in answer to Mr. Beadon, said—" Punch" complained of no injury. They had three or four rounds, and the fight lasted about seven minutes. Only saw "Punch" knocked down once. Mr. Beadon—Do you mean to say that, as the landlord, you could not have prevented the fight. I think after this your license will be in jeopardy. Sergeant Rogers, 12 E, said—On taking the prisoner into custody he said it was not his fault; l.hatthe landlord ordered the doors to be closed, and said, " Go at it, Punch ;" that that they had a fightfor some time, and that "Punch" fell. Mr. Beadon said he would take one bail in £5O for his appearance in a few days. The deceased is well known at most of the sporting houses about town, and also at the races by the name of "Punch. The annual meeting of the support t ers and friends of this College was held yesterday in the hall of the college, Harley-street, the Bishop of Oxford in the chair. The attendance was numerous, and con sisted principally of ladies, including the pupils and their friends, together with the professors. Among others present wgre the Bishop of New York, Sir fil t J. Lacaita, the Rev. E. P. Eddrup, t e Rev. H. W. Burrows, &c. The report intimated at no change had taken place in the education sta of the college since the last annual meeting, and that the council had gained in the Rev. J. Lonsdale and the Rev. H. W. Burrows a valuable reinforcement. The hopes which were expressed in the last report as to the financial prospects of the college have been abundantly fulfilled, and the council have been enabled to apply a surplus towards the formation of a reserve fund. The following table will indi• cate how far this prosperity is due to an increase in the number of pupils in attendance:— A letter from Alexandria, dated June 25, says : The French mail steamer from Syria, which arrived here yesterday, has brought us full and recent par ticulars of the savage internecine warfare raging between the Druses and Maronite Christians of Mount Lebanon. We had previously heard that the dissensions between the two rival tribes had at the latter end of last month broken out into aotual hostilities; villages had been attacked and burnt down, and in many the silk crop of cocoons, the principal source of subsistence of the inhabitants, had been utterly destroyed, but the loss of life was not great. A few days later more startling and alarming intelligence began to arrive. The advantages in the struggle lay almost entirely on the side of the Druses, who were becoming more and more maddened into a state of savage fury with the sight of the blood that had begun to flow, and the Turks, it was added, were more or less openly favouring their cause. Yesterday the French mail steamer from Syria arrived with further intelligence of a recent date, which fully confirms the report previously received. The following private letter from Beyrout, dated the 20th inst., contains the more authentic particu lars of the news that has spread at Alexandria : " During the past fortnight affairs in the Lebanon This Day, Post Octavo, 7s. 6d., TAXATEON : HOW IT IS RAISED, ® ` AND HOW IT IS EXPENDED.

GENT L EMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of sup plying the Vacancy in your Representation occasioned by the lamented Death of your late respected Member. I take this step in the conviction th at my political opinions are in accordance with those of the great majority of the Constituency. I regret that the question of Reform has once more been postponed. It must soon again occupy the attention of Parliament. In order that the j u st expectations of the people on this subject may be satisfied, the Franchise must be substantially . extended ; and decaying towns must yi eld the ri g ht of repre sentation to new and rising seats of popular industry. I am in favour of the Ballot : for I consider that no man ought to interfere with another in the exercise of the Franchise. The recent rejection, by the Rouse of Lords, of the Bill for the Abolition of the Paper Duties I hold to be directly op posed, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, of Constitu ional precedent. I am in favour of the Abolition of Church-rates. I trust that the Ministry will not endeavour to retain, against the judgment of their best supporters, that most objectionable clause in the Census Bill, requiring a Statement of Religious Opinion. I have for many years, whilst engaged in the active pur suits of a business life, devoted much of my time to aid in the efforts that have been made to improve the sanitary and moral condition of the working classes, and to spread Educa tion among all smions of the community. Now that 1 have greater leisure, I should, if honoured by your choice, endea vour to promote these and similar objects in the wider sphere and with the larger influence of a Member of the Legisla ture. I would support the strictest economy in our Public Ex penditure ; but it should be consistent with and tend to the thorough efficiency of our forces by sea and land ; indeed, I think it unworthy of the position occupied by England in the councils of the world that our Statesmen should be de barred by considerations for our safety from fearle• sly avow ing their sympathy with the nations now heroically strving to attain that constitutional freedom which we justly regard as our best safegiaard, and the maiuspring of our national progress. Your Local Interests, which are, in fad, from the connec tion of my family with your borough, so nearly identified with my own, would ever command my watchful attention. I shall take the earliest Opportunity of meeting you per sonally, and can then enter more fully into the topics that now engage public attention. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, FREDERICK D. GOLDSMID. Brighton, July 2, 1860. TO TRADESMEN, MERCHANTS, AND OTHERS.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Rameses and Lazy Lass jumped off together,but after proceeding about 100 yards Rameses took the lead, closely followed by Lazy Lass, Volunteer lying third, and Australian Maid last. They proceeded in this order, to the top turn, when Rameses run out and Australian Maid went on with a command- ing lead, Lazy Lass going second. On entering the straight for home the latter drew forward. Rameses at the same time making up much ground. When opposite the paddock, Rameses challenged the two leaders, passed them and won very cleverly by a length ; a neck between second and third, and Volunteer was a bad fourth. On the rider going to scale, Rameses was objected to for going on the wrong side of a post, and the case being proved, he was dis qualified, and Lazy Lass declared the winner.

THE GREAT NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.- The late Arctic cruiser Fox, which is about to be despatched o n n ow su l r yi ve n y g se i r n vi t c h e e in s c o o u nthnaetipotnon undergoing the necessary refitment. She will be coin-: mended by C a pt a i n Allen Young, and will be accompanied mcwDithocks this for un th d e er p tak ur i p n e g, se of is by an adequate staff of electricians, geographers, geolo gists, and surveyors, and a marine painter. The Danish Government takes a warm interest in the project, and will send out two commissioners in the Fox to report upon the survey. Captain Young was at Southampton on Tuesday, on business connected with her equipment for sea. The paddle steamer Bulldog, appointed by our Government to take the soundings, has already sailed on her mission, and it is expected she will be absent from three to four montht. The Fox will be ready for sea about the middle of July. The Mayor of Southampton is making arrangements to give a grand banquet to Captain Allen Young in celebra tion of the departure of this expedition to commence the accomplishment of what is hoped and anticipated by a large body of nautical and scientific men will be a successful endeavour to unite the two worlds by a telegraphic com munication. Invitations have been forwarded to Lord Palmerston, Lord Ashburton, the President of the Royal Geographical-Society, and other persons eminent in science and literature. MORTALITY AMONG BEES.—The severe winter, backward spring, and wet summer, have proved very de structive to bees in Crieff. During winter and spring bees had in many cases to be fed ; and, owing to the wet weather in June, they could not gather as much as keep themselves alive, and those who neglected to feed the little creatures have found, in many instances, their hives dead from want of nourishment, In ordinary seasons bees generally swarm about the end of May and beginning of June, but this year few hives have swarmed. The price of honey this season will, it is believed, be high.—North British Paily !flag, +~ ._ r,q• - Total 182 188 210 232 166 229 The committee look with satisfaction on the steady progress which these figures indicate in the attend ance of compounders, who, from their entering more entirely than other pupils into the course which the college has marked out for them, form, through their numbers, the best estimate of the extent to which the college does it work in raising the education of Englishwomen to a high standard, and of the degree of public confidence which it has already gained. The committee have been enabled duiing the past year without encroa.hing on the time due to other studies to give three hours instead of two to the classes in drawing, and the pupils have been provided with a 'larger supply of casts and models. The result has been that the efficiency of the class-teaching has been very materially in creased. Accommodation is now provided for re ceiving boarders. The library is also, though somewhat defective, a very serviceable addition to the college, and the number of pupils who subscribe to it is yearly on the increase. Next, however, to the charter of incorporation the most important fact in the past connection of the college is•the foundation of scholarships, giving a free education in the college. The first step in this direction was taken by her Majesty, whose interest in the work was shown at an early period by a donation of £250, and who exercises from time to time the right of nominating • free pupil. The professors contributed £1,500 towards the expenses of the charter, and at the commencement of the separate existence of the college obtained from the council in return the foundation of four scholarships ao nually for senior and junior pupils respectively. The chairman, in addressing the pupils present, expressed the pleasure he felt in saying a few words for their encouragement. It was very satisfactory to find that, while many other institutions were in pecuniary difficulties, its particular difficulties had been got over, and a satisfactory surplus obtained. This was due, in a considerable measure, to the conduct of the professors of the college, in setting apart a portion of their annual income to this ob ject. His lordship concluded his address with a refe rence to his own University life, and in a very cor dial manner wished that the favours received, the sympathies awakened, and the friendships formed by those hearing him, while engaged in their pre sent duties, might continue to increase the happi ness of their after lives. The adoption and ap proval of the report were duly moved, seconded, and carried, and the proceedings terminated in a vote of thanks to the chairman. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very poor show of English wheat was exhibited on the stands to-day, nevertheless the supply was more than equal to the demand.

Has beeyah and Rasheeyah, two large and flourishing villages in the neighbourhood of Mount Hermon, have been taken, and sacked, and destroyed by the Druses in the presence of Turkish garrisons at both places. The Turks, it is said, made no attempt to protect the villages, but, on the contrary, gave active assistance to the enemy. Upon the places being cat,- tured, a large number of the Christian inhabi tants, men, women, and children, took refuge in the Serai, or garrison. The officer in com mand of the Turkish troop4insisted upon the men giving up their arms. They "did so, and the wea pons were sent off to Damascus. He then entered into a parley with the leaders of the Druses, which ended in the gates of the Serai being thrown open. The Druses entered the place, and a frightful and indiscriminate massacre of the unarmed and de fenceless Christians ensued, the Turkish troops pas sively looking on. A few of the Christians con trived to escape, and have taken refuge in Beyrout. The stories they relate of the cruelties inflicted by the Druses are most heartrending. " In several other places the Iruses induced the Christians to lay down their arms, on the assurance that they would not be molested, a promise imme diately followed by their being murdered in their defenceless state, and their houses sacked and burnt. It is calculated that during the last three weeks more than sixty villages have been destroyed. The loss of life has been very great. The Pasha of Damascus has declared that he cannot guarantee the peace of that city for a week. ".The Druses of Lebanon and. of the Haman, assisted' by Bedouins, have been besieging Zahleh, the largest and most flourishing town in Lebanon, containing a population of more than 10,000 inhabitants; but up to the present they have not been able to take it. The day before yes terday they were defeated by the Christians with great loss—in fact, they have been driven from Zahleh three or four times, but it is feared that the place will not be able to hold out much longer for want of ammunition. Should Zahleh fall it will be the destruction of the Chris tian interest in Lebanon. At Sidon great 'atrocities have been committed against the Christian, and great numbers of them murdered. In short, the whole of Syria, from Aleppo to Gaza, is in a state of the greatest commotion and alarm. The Turkish authorities look on quietly while the work of destruc tion goes forward, and when called upon by the Euro pean consuls to interfere and put a stop to the warthey make promises, but do nothing. They finally declare that they have not sufficient force. If so, it is high time that the European Powers should interfere to rescue one of the finest and most flourishing pro vinces of the empire from the misrule under which it has so long suffered, and from the utter destruction now impending over it. " The only safe place at present remaining in Syria is Beyrout. Two British officers of war are lying off the town, a steamer of 11 guns and a gunboat ; also a Russian frigate, and three French ships—a frigate, a brig, and a steamer. " P.S.—June 21.—News arrived this morning, which I believe to be too true, that the Druses took Zahleh on the 18th inst., and that they are de stroying it by fire. Both Christians and Druses have suffered heavy loss. The women and chil dren were sent out of the town a day or two before it was captured. The fall of Zahleh is a severe blow to the Christians. THE PAPAL STATES. "Rome must always be the centre of most im portant business," said Talleyrand, some sixty years ago, when writing to the diplomatic agent of his Government respecting the events of which at that time the capital of the Catholic world threatened to be the scene. Although there has hardly ever been a time in the course of many centuries when the force of this remark was not more or less apparent, it seems likely to receive fresh illustration before many weeks, perhaps before many days, shall have elapsed. The few words of the telegrams which have informed us that the exasperation of parties has so greatly in creased that an outbreak and a collision may be viewed as immThent, that the changes at Naples have reacted on the bearing of the Sacred College, that General de Lamoriciere has returned in hot haste—these few words speak volumes to those who know a little of the real ten dencies of the clerical rulers whose apprehensions they reveal. The Roman correspondence of almost every journal in Europe has during the last three months been teeming with details respecting the efforts of the Papal Government to create a moral, and prepare for a military, reaction against the nascent wishes of the Italian people. The course of its policy, if we may judge by the results, is not greatly different from that by which it was animated at the period of its return from Avignon. The public opinion of mankind, the temporal interests of the Catholic Church itself, have required it to do something to remove the scandal which its present position has occasioned. And it has endeavoured to do something. But its endeavours have been directed not to the removal of those moral and political abuses, the true causes of all the mischief, but to its having recourse to such measures of mere repres sion as from their very nature only served to aggra vate the evil. The Papacy is a moral power, or it is nothing. We would not reason respecting it from the point of view from which a strong Pro testant controversialist would naturally draw his conclusions. These would, of course, be unfavour able to the policy of the Vatican at any time, or under any circumstances. But we endeavour to put ourselves in the position of the most devoted sons of the Catholic Church, of the most attached adherents of the Papal Government, of the per sonal friends of Pius the Ninth himself. With out attaching undue importance to anecdotes which the partial bias of the writers may have coloured or exaggerated, we hear from so many quarters, as to leave no doubt on our minds respecting their truth, accounts as to the moral war which already rages even amongst the highest dignitaries of the Romish Church and the highest authorities in the Roman State. When we read of proud, bold, ambitious cardinals, whose whole lives have been devoted to strengthen and extend the system with which all their own hopes of fame and honour were bound up—when we read of their indignation and despair at the state of matters, at the incurable abuses of the Government calling forth from them the declaration that the temporal dominion of their Church has certainly been doomed by Heaven to perish through the blindness and perversity of the rulers, we may feel pretty certain that matters have come to an ex tremely desperate pais. Nor have they been remedied by the attempt to form such companies of Free-lances as Cardinal D'Albornos raked together in his days, and at a later period Csar Bor'gia put in motion, for his ends. If the defenders of the Papacy conceived the idea of attracting towards Rome the lowest, the most ignorant, and most bigoted members of their Church from all foreign countries, that they might thereby exhibit a great homage to the moral power of the Catholic faith, they certainly have reckoned without their host. They have, accord ing to all accounts, already sown the seeds of dis content amongst the auxiliaries now enrolled be neath their standard, and they have envenomed and exasperated a hundredfold the animosity of the Italian populations whom the auxiliaries have been called to curb. From Ancona, from Spoleto, from Macerata, from Civita Vecchia, from Perugia, concurrent accounts attest that the arrival of the Austrian, Swiss, Bavarian, and Irish legionaries has given the signal for increased strife, for augmented hostility between the clerical rulers and their subjects. The commander-in -chief of the new force, who ap pears to be thoroughly in earnest in his at- tempts at organisation, finds himself thwarted and hampered at every moment by the deep-seated corruption, malversation, and abuses of every kind which have rendered the administration of the Roman States rotten to the heart's core. The party of foreign, chiefly French, Papal reformers, by whom he is supported, is again baffled and brow beaten at every step by the old Roman red-tapists, the men who congratulate themselves that, bad as the system may be, it has, as Louis XV. said of the ancien regime on his deathbed, at least lasted their time; or, to use Metternich's phrase, but when they are gone the deluge may come. There is nothing at all new, nothing the least surprising, in the internecine feuds thus exhibited between the different factions by which Papal Rome is at pre sent torn. We have repeatedly had occasicn to al lude in the columns of this journal to other and simi lar attempts made by the French Legitimists to effect some small semblance of reform in the Papal administration, and of the ignominious failure to which they led. General de Lamoriciere and M. de Merode might have been warned by the fate of tke schemes proposed and the counsels given re peatedly within the last ten years. Their own last abortive efforts have only tended to lay bare more completely the rottenness and impotence of the whole Roman system. They have given fresh strength to the internal enemies of the Papacy ; they have encouraged the amibition which would grasp, and the patriotism which would liberate, the Papal territory to precipitate their plans. And now, with the professed change of policy at Naples, the last native auxiliaries of despotism in the penin sula are themselves sounding a retreat, and leaving the purple tyrants of the Sacred College to brave, unassisted by any Italian allies, the whole fury of the Italian people.—. Morning Post. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The firing on the ground commenced yesterday at half-past 9 in the morning, and was continued till sunset, without intermission. In fact, with the additional prizes announced since the first arrange ments were made, there begins to be a pressure on the time left for the proceedings. They must close on Saturday; and early attendance, as well as in dustry afterwards, are required from all candidates entered for the prizes that remain undecided. Yes terday disposed of the perplexing ties of the Volun teers who shot for the Association prizes, the 20 rifles, and made complete the list of the 20 second best shots, who win the right of competing for the Royal prize of £250, which will wake Saturday the " cup day" of the meeting. The contest for the several prizes " open to all comers" was also decided yesterday. But the competition that excited most interest during the day was that between foreigners exclusively; it was considered the Swiss match, and something sharp, short, and decisive was expected. as in the "tug of war," when Greek meets Greek. It was not very short, but very sharp while it lasted, and proved decisive. From the laig6 number of ties some of the other contests have dragged ; but the Swiss match began and ended with one innings. The prize was a Whitworth rifle, given by Mr. T. Fairbairn. The range was 500 yards, and five rounds were allowed each competitor. In this match the shooting was excellent, and drew expressions of at miration from the most skilful graduates of the School of Hythe. The winner, M. Thorel, made 9 points in his five shots. A few only of the Swiss used their own rifles ; with the exception of three or four in dividuals, the competitors used the Whitworth ; the prize was gained, and all the highest number& of points were made with it. The Swiss fully appreciate the merits of the English rifle, and there is no doubt the prize has fallen into exceedingly good hands. The following are the names of the 13 who competed : Points. Ehorel . . Von Matt .. Thormann .. Roth .. .. Van Berchen Piece .. .. De Gendre .. Knecht .. Wessel . . Chesser .. Peter Staub Heil .. A list of winners of the rifles given by the Asso ciation appeared in our impression of yesterday ; it was made up to 20 in the course of the day. The names of Placket (21st Middlesex), 'Wylie (Ist Lanark), and Blackburn (Edinburgh) were added to the highest score. The following are the 20 second-best shots, who gain a qualification to shoot for the Queen's Prize on Saturday : Points. Owen—Glamorgan Cowan—lst Lanark .. Marshall-Ist Lanark Sandf,rd—St. George's .. Lawley—Derby Howard—Essex.. Tinley-2d Lancashire lleaton-3d Manchester .. Fenton-9th Middlesex • . Beard-4th Surrey .. Stearn-6th Suffolk .. Baty-9th Surrey • . • • Potter-sth Surrey •• .. Johnson—Victoria Rifles .. 'Williams—Buckingham Gosnell-Ist Norfolk .. Murray—Peebleshire Marriott-4th West York Bridgman-9th Middlesex Brooks-12th Middlesex The contest for the series of prizes " open to all comers" was commenced on Wednesday, and not concluded till yesterday. It was necessarily a long one, there being four different ranges--200, 300, 500, and 600 yards. There were seven prizes at each range, increasing in amount according to the distance—L2o, £3O, £4O, and £5O. The following were returned as the winners, at the four ranges : At 200 yards. Piece—Swiss. Newman—Royal Marines. Ross-7th North York. Knecht— Swiss. Peter—Swiss. Chesser—Swiss. Mawler—Swiss. At 300 yards. Ross. Ingram—Glasgow. Nourisson—Swiss. Wilson—Hythe. Heil—Swiss. Dillon—Hythe. Forbes-2d Derby. At 500 yards. Brooks-12th Middlesex. Tinley-2d Lancashire. Stapylton—Hythe. Dove-91st Lanark. Forbes-2d Derby. Peter—Swiss. Roth— Swiss. At 600 yards. Rowland. Wright. Linley. Hclloway. Saddler. Cocks-11th Middlesex. Hodder. The 28 winners at these four ranges, and the five second best shots at each, are qualified to compete for the Prince Consort's prize of £lOO, for the silver cup given by the London Rifle Brigade, and a rifle given by Mr. Smith. For these three prizes the distances will be 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. It will be observed that in the list of winners of the " all corners" prizes the Swiss names, which are numer ous for the shortest distance, diminish in number at the longer ranges. The result fully bears out the prediction made by practised shots at an early stage of the competition. The ordinary range adopted by the Swiss seldom exceeds 300 yards ; at that distance they are proficients ; at greater, less so. The eye acquires a habit of seeing that cannot be suddenly changed. The shooting for Miss Coutts's prize of £5O com menced yesterday, but was not concluded. It is for all corners, with any rifle, firing from a rest at 1,000 yards. The rest was a sandbag on a kind of tripod, and the competitors fired sitting or crouching. As none of the rifles had been sighted for this long range, five trial shots were allowed each person be fore beginning the five that would count. This pro longed the contest till the evening, without any decision. It will be resumed today. The Prince Consort's prize (.£100), and that given by the Duke of Wellington, will also be decided this day, if it is possible, leaving Saturday for the competition for the Royal prize. FOLLOWING A NOBLE EXAMPLE.—The patriotic example of Mr. Charles Ratcliff, brother of the ex-Mayor of Birmingham, who was the first to raise, equip, and drill a company of riflemen 100 strong, at his sole expense, has been followed by Messrs. Campbell, army clothiers, of Jer myn-street, and shoe manufacturers at Northampton. The sth Company of Northampton Rifles was formed and clothed entirely at the expense of these gentlemen. MANCHESTER AND GARIBALDI.—A requisition, signed by about 800 of the principal firms in Manchester, has been presented to the mayor, asking him to convene a public meeting for the furtherance of the cause of Garibaldi. He has " come to the conclusion that it would be inexPe" dient for him (as mayor) to do so." FANCY BALL AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. —A grand fancy ball was given last night at the Mansion house by the Lady Mayoress. It was attended by upwa rds of 500 persons. --Mr THE NEW MAGISTRATE FOR GREEN WICH.• Daniel Maude , the new magistrate at Greenwich, was drinitg the from frauds yes terday presented with a handsome te stimonial at the Town hall, Manch es t er , on his retirement from the office of police magistrate for that city. THE UNION BANE FRAUDS.—A proprietor suggests that the best way of meeting the Pullin ge would be to call up an am ount on the shares equal to the loss, leaving the rese rve fund fere in n ta ce c t% aa'nedducdtiivig dividing profits in the usual way in pre the reserve, or half -yearly earnings. On Wednesday the gunboat Redwing conveyed Capt. Jerningham, of the gunnery ship Cambridge, from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound, where he in spected the crew of the gun vessel Viper, 4, Com mander Hewett, just returned from the African station. The Viper then got up steam, and, while going into Hamoaze, fouled a schooner and carried away her jib •boom. The Redwing, following, fouled the Viper, and carried away her jib-boom. After the crew of the Vi per are paid LIZ sho.wi4i4w-dis& l mantled and placed in the steam ordinary, but her internal fittings will he disturbed. The new contract, built screw steam gunvessel Steady, 4, went on Wednesday from Hamoaze out side the Plymouth Breakwater and tested her ma chinery a second time. . . The trial of the Victoria, 121, screw three-decker, was resumed and. concluded yesterday at Ports mouth with the most perfect success, whether as regards the working of her machinery or the results obtained. The huge mastless vessel steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour at half speed at 11 a.m., in charge of Captain George T. Gordon, corm:nanding the steam reserve. On clear ing the narrow harbour channel the speed of the ship was increased until nearing the Warner Light vessel, when full speed was put on, and the ship's head shortly afterwards brought round and di rected towards the trial ground in Stockes bay, Much interest has been felt as to the results of the Victoria's screw trial, from the power of her engines —l,OOO-horse nominal ; and also from the proba bility of her being the last three-decked ship which will be built in Portsmouth Dockyard. The ship's draught of water was—forward, 18ft. Tin. ; and aft, 23ft. 1 lin. The weather was all that could be de sired for the purpose of testing the steaming powers of the ship at her present light draught of water, which when she has all her weights and crew on board, ready for sea, will be increased by nearly five feet. Six runs were made at the measured mile with and against the tide with the following re sults :-Ist run, 13533 ; 2d run, 12 631 ; 3d run, 14 063 ; 4th run, 11.803 ; sth run, 14 694; and 6th run, 11.323, giving a mean of 13 129 knots per hour. The ponderous machinery worked well in every part, and there was a plentiful supply of steam. Steam pressure was 201 b. ; vacuum, 211 b. ; revolutions of engines, mean, 60 ; diameter of screw, 20 feet, with 25 feet pitch. The screw is Messrs. Maudslay's adaptation of the common screw with their shifting pitch, removeable and the leading corners cut off. At the conclusion of the sixth run the ship was again steamed out for the Warner Lightship, on reaching which her helm was put hard a-port, and she made a complete circle in 4 minutes. Great difficulty was, however, found in steering the Victoria, as in all other full-powered screw ships, as, with even eight men at the wheel when under full steam, only 1t turn could be get to port and two to starboard. The immense pressure brought to bear on the rudder by the action of the screw, it is well known, causes this ; still the fact remains the same, and the safety and efficiency of our high-powered ships of war are thereby considerably imperilled. The speed obtained by the Victoria is in advance of any yet obtained by a line-of-battle ship, and the results, so far, may be considered quite satisfactory. She is fitted with Suffield's patent engine-room tele graph. The stokeholes of the ship are—forward, 54 feet in length, and containing 20 fires. The after stokehole is 26 feet in length, and contains 12 fires. The engine-room is 31 feet long. Total length of ship's hold occupied by engine-room and stokeholes, 111 feet. The Victoria, at the close of the trial, was brought into harbour and berthed alongside the Duke of Wellington, at the upper part of the harbour. From the manner in. which everything on her upper deck is being housed in, there seems no probability of this fine ship being commissioned at present. The following appointments were made yesterday , at the Admiralty Waye, master, to the Wel lington, for the Desperate; J. Symon, second master, to the Impregnable ; T. Stringer, master's assistant, to the Bloodhound ; Percy C. Smith, master's assistant, to the Impregnable ; J. Bishop, assistant-surgeon, to the Bloodhound ; J.
