From two drafts that have been presented to Sir Robert Seppings by Admiral Greig, two frigates of 60 guns have been built in the Black Sea, with a view to ascertain, by actual experiment, the truth of the principle, as laid down by Romnie, the great French Author on Ship-building—viz. that the re sistance the body meets with depends chiefly on the area of the greatest transverse section. These frigates are each about 171 feet long, and 44 feet broad.— Their submerged part is a mathematical figure formed from the parabola and the midship, and the other transverse sections; with water lines are para bolas of different exponents. Both bodies have the same area of flotation and displacement, with the centre of gravity of displacement, and other ele ments of construction, in the same relative position, but one has a much 'larger area of midship section than the other.—Hampshire Telegraph.

MANSION-HOUSE. TIIE RIVAL PARTNERS.---TWO itinerant cheese mongers were summoned before the LORD MAYOR on Saturday, to answer for the offence of vending cheese to the prejudice of the shopkeepers in Rose mary-lane, where they stationed themselves. They had once been partners, but were now rivals. The shopkeepers complained that the competition of these men made cheese so cheap that they stood no chance at all.—(Laughter.) After some admonition from his Lordship, both the defendants were discharged. GUILDHALL. Robert Newman, a hackney-coachman, was charged with driving furiously after twelve o'clock the previous night. A man was sitting on the box, and they were both drunk and very abusive. They would give no account of a silk umbrella found inside. The defendant said he had driven some luggage to the Prince of Wales Hotel in Conduit -street, and he thought the servant had cleared the coach. The man on the box was a sailor, who preferred riding there, and had been treating him. As a general character for sobriety and good conduct was given to him, he was only fined five shillings for being drunk. The umbrella was sent by the patrol to the hotel, and if not owned there, was to be left at the hack ney-coach-office. DEFEND Us FROM OUR FRIENDS.---Saturday Richard Matthew Holt, a young man about five and-twenty, was charged before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY by William Smith, a bluff, blunt, good humoured-looking son of Neptun e , w ith stea li ng from him a sovereign, and aiding and abetting in a similar service done him by another. " Please your honour," said the tar, seizing one of his front locks between his finger and thumb, and forcing his head downwards, " Dick Holt, as stands there, and myself, were old friends, and I thought, same as Dick was the honest chap I left him five years ago, when I went out to the Hindies, but Dick has been steering a bad course, yet I'd not have thought he'd commit piracy on an old friend. I'll not spin a long yarn, but tell your Ho nour all about it as short as possible. I'd been moored safely in a friend's berth in White-cross street only two or three days, and Dick, you know, having heard of my being there, came aboard on Friday evening. I was glad to see the face of an old friend, and Dick shook me heartily by the hand and said, ' Bill, I'm glad to see you've weathered the storm so well, my boy;' and then he began ask ing me about the Hindies, and the nabobs, and the black girls. Well, you know, I told him as well as I could ; but, clang it, I couldn't meet an old friend and not treat him, and so I stewed away three so vereigns and some silver in this here jacket pocket, and Dick and I weighed anchor and bore away for the nearest public-house. Well, you know, we were there for some time, and Dick laughed at my stories, and, dang it, I still thought him an honest fellow. Well, you know, he asked me if I'd been to see the play, and so I told him I hadn't, and so we agreed to go there. But, as your Honour knows, a sailor's nothing without a sweetheart; I called on one, as I thought, just as honest as Dick Holt there ; and, shiver my timbers, so she was just as honest ! but, never mind, I'll keep a sharp look out for the land pirates agen. Well, you know, we all three set off for the play, but before we'd made much head-way a chap bore down on us, and the lass telling me as bow this ere strange chap was her cousin, I hove to, and took him in tow along with the rest. Well, your Honour, when the play was over we goed to have surr imut in th e way o f re freshment, as they calledit, arid precious refresh-; LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2G, 1829 ment it was to me, fcr they took the two sovereigns from my pocket, and I never felt 'em ; but Dick Holt, as stands there before your Honour, confessed it all this morning. Well, you know, We Came gaily along as far as. the bridge, when all of a *widen the lass and her cousin set off right before the wind with all the sail they could carry, and in a few se conds I lost sight of 'em. Weil, you know, it was late, and Dick and I goes to get a bed together, and in the morning I found all my money gone, and, dang it, I'd not have cared so much about it if they had left me as much as would get a glass ofsummut!' After Bill had " spun his long yarn" the Alder man aked the prisoner was this ungrateful charge correct ? who replied that. the lady's cousin had certainly extracted one sovereign from the poor tar's jacket pocket, and that himself imitated the example. Before he and the tar retired for the night he changed the sovereign, and tied up nineteen shil lings in his handkerchief, but alleged that it was stolen in the course of the night. The Alderman asked Smith if-he could get the female ? and Smith replying in the affirmative, the prisoner was remanded until Monday, the rounds of all the gaols before; they were com fortable residences—as for the tread-mill, the exer cise upon it would keep her in health, and give her an appetite.

A fellow named Jilarey, lodging in Ridley -court, Regent-street, Chelsea, was brought up in custody, for a dreadful assault on his wife, whotiAscreams had drawn a mob round the house. It waS apprehended that she had sustained internal injury; but a certifi cate from a surgeon stated that she was out of danger. The prisoner was, however, discharged. Elizabeth Dodd was charged with an assault on Jos. Tucker and his wife, of 10, Elizabeth-street, Pimlico. The defendant, with another woman, it appeared, had gone late at night, and knocked vio lently at Mr. T.'s door. He at first refused to go down stairs; but they proceeded with increasing vio lence, for twenty minutes, so as to compel him to rise and open the door. The other woman then cut off their retreat, and the defendant seized Tucker by the collar and tore his coat, and then assaulted his wife and tore her bonnet and shawl, and struck her twice on the face. It appeared that Tucker had lived with the defendant six years befdee, and the wife and she exchanged bitter reproaches. Tucker stood between them to prevent mischief. The de fendant claimed a gold ring, which Tucker said was in his father's possession. It was sent for, and de livered up to the defendant, who was discharged. LAMBETH-STREET. Mrs. .Rachael Wilkinson, who was charged some time ago with ill-treating her daughter, and even with denying her the common necessaries of life, at tended before the Magistrates, to explain why she had not fulfilled the condition on which sbe was be fore discharged, namely, that she should provide her daughter with suitable apparel, to enable her to accept a situation offered her in a respectable board ing-school at Bow. The Magistrate told her, that as she persisted in acting with cruelty, he should at once bold her to bail to keep the peace towards her daughter. As nobody came forward to bail her, she was locked up, and finally discharged, on promising to pay a to equip her daughter fir her situation. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Oct. 24. We have not had much business transacted at this day's market; but on the small sales effected there was an ad vaice on Wheat of 2d. per bushel (4701 b. obtained on Tuesday's prices, and the holders generally appear more firm, with a prospect of further advanced prices being obtained ; and the country markets also appear better. THAMES POLICE -OFFICE. A SELF -EMANCIPATED BLACK.--The Captain of a merchant ship brought a curley-headed black fellow to the office, to know what he should do with him, as the fellow swore by he would not go back to Ceylon. The Captain said he had ship ped this black at Ceylon as under-steward and servant, and was under a bond a 5001. to deliver him back there, if alive. He had arrived in this country two months since, during the c hi e f p ar t o f which time the black had been ashore with other sailors, and having attached himself to a woman, and partaken extensively of the luxuries which this " blessed country" affords, he was disinclined to go en board to his duty, as the ship was going to sea in a day or two. The fellow was too stupid to think about the consequences of his stopping here, but he would probably be starved, as all his false friends would give him " the cut direct" the mo ment they ascertained that his money and clothes wire gone. The Captain wished the Magistrate to send the black on board, and he would take goad care to keep him safe until the vessel was at sea. Capt. RICHBELL—Has he committed any offence? Captain—No criminal offence, only being drunk; he is half drunk now. Capt. RacimELL- - What can Ido with him ? I cannot make him go on board. Captain—Not make him go on board ? Why the fellow will perish with hunger. Capt. RICHBELL-NOt he. Hallo ! you, Sir 1 Why don't you go back with the ship, as you promised ? Black—Me like London well. Me stop; me like to stop; me no go back. Captain RICHIIELL —But you must go on board —the master wants you. Black—Me no care a —; me came London passenger; me no black fellow servant; oh no 1 Captain tell -- lie I Captain—Why, you scoundrel, what do you mean by that ? Do you think, Sir, I would bring a black son of a like that fellow a passenger. He was servant in the cuddy, Sir; nothing more; and had 30s. a month. The black grinned, and shrugging up his should ers, said," All -- lie—me passenger." Captain, in a rage.—Passenger! pshaw ! you deserve a good flogging. Black—Me had floggee enough—me no like flog gee. No floggee in England; me stop and get work. Capt. RICIIBELL—I can't interfere. If he will not go on board, I have no power of making him. He is emancipated from his state of slavery the moment he sets foot in England. Captain—l wish I had left the -- thief behind. The Magistrate reproved the Captain-for swear ing, and, addressing the black, contrasted the misery he was likely to be reduced to by remaining here with the comfort he would experience on board. The fellow shook his head with the air of a black who had made up his mind, and said, " Me see you all before me go back." A gentleman whispered to the commander of the ship, who said, " A thought has struck me : this fellow has committed some offence in the island, and he is afraid to go back. Now, I think he ought to be sent back." Capt. RICIIBELL smiled, and said, " Oh, that sort of thing won't do with me; have you any evidence of his committing any offence, because if you had you should not have brought him away." The black fellow at this juncture, the door of the office being opened to admit some one else, made a bolt, upsetting an Irish apple-woman, who exclaimed, " bad luck to your - black soul 1" His only answer was, " Me see Captain -- before me go back." His flight was too instantaneous and rapid to admit of his being stopped, and he escaped. The Captain departed very angry, hoping the fellow would go to a certain repeatedly described very hot residence for wicked souls. UNION-HALL. A woman, named Daley, was charged with assaulting Crow, a constable, and breaking the win dows of" The World Turned Upside Down." The officer said that she was the greatest virago be had ever met with, and beat the famous Lady Barry more for violence. She had beaten him violently, and when locked up asked him for some water to drink ; he gave her a basin full, when, instead of drinking it, she flung basin and all at his head. The prisoner was committed to Guildford gaol for two months. She said , she didn't care, as she had gone HADDINGTON CORN Al A KKET.—Oct:23.

PROMISES OF THE CORPORATION.—The result of the late election for Coroner gave some strong surprises to many friends of the Candidates, who, being ignorant of the City Elections, had relied implicitly upon promises of votes and interest. The total number of Members of the Court of Common Council is 266. With but one exception, each of the Candidates was assured of success. Mr. Guns, for instance, had 80 positive pro mises, and had altogether good reasons to expect at least 120 votes. Not one-half of the positive promises were performed; and the other Candidates, with the exception, it is said, of the successful one, were under equal obliga tions to their numerous encouragers and supporters. Be , tween 500 and 600 rotes were promised " upon honour," by 266 Members of the great Corporation. The canvas. sers agree in the opinion, that the last thing attended to by the Members was the evidence of the qualification of the Candidates to act for the public, and that the circumstances which weighed most were those of private interest and personal gratification. The rivers in the neighbourhood of Blackburn have been considerably swollen by the heavy rains that have fallen during the week. On Wednesday the water overflowed the banks of the Ribble at Walton, and, in some parts, covered the fence rails. About nine o'clock the 'Umpire coach, after passing Walton bridge, was turned completely round by the stream, and the coachman pru dently returned to Preston, where he remained two hours before he could proceed to this town. The Liverpool coaches could not pass Penwortham-bridge, and therefore proceeded round by Walton to Preston. The new road from Blackburn to Preston was passable. The land about Sowerby and St. Michael's, near Garstang, was inundated for many miles. The oldest inhabitants of these districts can scarcely recollect such a high flood.—Manchester Advj STATE OF TRADE.—The blanket trade, when compared with its state three months ago, may be called brisk ; and the looms are much better employed.— The quantity of goods sold in Huddersfield market, on Tuesday last, was much larger than usual. The looms are better employed, but wages have not improved. At Halifax market, on Saturday last, the quantity of goods sold was greater than had been sold on any previous market day during six months. There is, however, one branch, the carpet trade, which is at present in a very low state of depression, and still declining, in consequence of the competition of the Scotch manufacturers with those of England. The Bradford market continues brisk : a great quantity of goods was sold on Thursday last, but without the smallest advance in price. There is, in short, a good deal more business doing throughout these manufacturing districts, but we fear with very small remuneration either t o the manufacturers or their workmen,--.Lcedellfereury. 50 52 33 •90 42 46 s. d. s. d. 56 60 56 60 59 66 80 83 00 00 73 76 00 130 106 126 11 0 12 0 00 00 WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—Oct. 23.

STEAM CARRIAGE-EXPERIMENTS AT LIVERPOOL. (Prom the Scotsman.) It is melancholy to observe how rarely objects, events, or individuals are estimated according to their true importance. All the principal pens in London at this moment are at work upon the Turkish Treaty, the New Police, Cobbett's Corn, Mr. Lister's tragedy, the Newark meet ing,—and perhaps, one or two " most bloody and barbarous " murders. We have columns and pages filled day after day, with comments on these matters, which two months hence will be completely superseded by something equally ephemeral, while we have not seen in one of the Metropolitan prints a single remark on the ex periments at Liverpool, which unveil mechanical truths of such stupendous importance, that if oh jects are to be judged of by their influence on the condition of man, the Russian campaigns, the Catholic Question,—nay, though some may stare, we will add—the French Revolution, sink into nothing in the comparison ! How trifling was the effect produced by all the wars of the fifteenth century on the state of the world, com pared with the discovery of Printing ? And how little were the consequences of that dis covery understood by the cotemporaries of Faust and Guttenburg ? The experiments at Liver pool have established principles which will give a greater impulse to civilization than it has ever received from any single cause since the Press first opened the gates of knowledge to the hu man species at large. They may be said to have furnished man with wings, to have supplied him with faculties of locomotion, of which the most sanguine could not have dreamed a few years ago. Even steam navigation gives but a faint idea of the wondrous power which this new agent has put into our hands. It is no exag geration to say, that the introduction of steam carriages on railways places us on the verge of a new era—of a social revolution of which imagi gination cannot picture the ultimate effects. We have given in the present and preceding numbers of our Paper the full details of these experiments, and need not do more here than sum up in a few words the general results. The three best engines, when yoked to loads equal to three times their own weight, respec tively performed as follows ;—The first travelled at the rate of 11 miles, the second of 14 miles, and the third of 20i miles in an hour. The distances passed over were not short in these cases, the first having travelled 70 miles, the second 25, and the third 21. In another trial, the lightest engine was proceeding at the rate of 24 miles an hour with its full load, when the joint of a pipe failed, and stopped its motion. It is to be observed, too, that the engines worked under considerable disadvantages.. The piece of railroad selected for the experiment being only 1/ mile long, the engine had to check its velo city, make a full pause, and begin again about 12 times in going 20 miles. A great amount of power was thus wasted, and in many cases the engine perhaps had not acquired its maximum or terminal velocity, when the stop took place. We run no risk, therefore, in saying, that the performance upon an unbroken line of road of the full length travelled over, would have been greater than the average of these short trips, One of the heavier engines (the Rocket), drew 36 passengers, in a carriage at a velocity which sometimes reached 28 miles an hour ! The lightest engine (the Novelty) when loaded with 45 passengers in waggons, made several trips with a velocity of 22 miles an hour, at an average ; but when she was going at her greatest speed, she travelled at the scarcely credible rate of 32 miles an hour ! The Rocket also drew a number of passengers (about 30, we believe,) up an inclined plane, rising one foot in 96, at the rate of 12 miles an hour. This single fact shows how much the powers of the locomotive engine have been un derrated ; for Mr. Walker, in the Report which we noticed on Wednesday last, inferred from the facts he had collected, that the entire power of one of these machines would be consumed in dragging its own weight up an acclivity like this, at two or three miles per hour. We are quite aware that the performance of a single engine, when its powers are tasked by way of experiment, and for a short time, will ex ceed the average rate of a number working per manently. But against this we must place, on the other hand, the disadvantage of having the motion checked and renewed every five or six minutes, the inexperience of our engineers in the construction of machines for such rapid rates of motion, and the accidents to which first attempts are liable. The Novelty, the most successful of the engines, was the first which the makers had ever built. Making due allowances for these circumstances, we have not the slightest doubt that we have it now in our power to command a velocity of 30 miles an hour on a level well made railroad, or 25 miles allowing for the necessary stops ; and we know that this is the opinion of some of the most skilful engineers who witnessed these experiments. Such a rapid rate of travel ling, of course, will not be attempted at first. Perhaps it would be attended with too much danger to be permanently adopted at any time ; but taking it as the extreme term of what is practicable, we may approach as near to it as circumstances will permit. No one who saw the experiments doubts that twenty or twenty 'four miles an hour is within reach, safely and easily, whenever a double railway is laid, (as it will be by and bye) to allow of two different ve locities being employed; a slow one for goods, and a quick one for passengers. Twenty years ago, we believe, the mails did not travel faster than about seven miles an hour From seven miles it was raised to eight, and every one cried out what an improvement ! From eight it was raised to nine, and this was hailed as nothing less than " prodigious !" Attempts are now making to force it up to ten miles an hour, but at any thing beyond this, to a certainty horse power fails us. How thee► shall we find terms adequate to express the value of a dis covery which lifts us at once from nine miles to 20 or 24 miles an hour !—which carries us as far beyond the speed of the mail, as the mail is beyond that of a brewer's dray, or a carrier's waggon ! The extraordinary speed of this conveyance is only one of its many advantages. A friend of ours, who was present at all the experiments, and in the waggon when going at 32 miles an hour, assures us that the motion is so rematlia'ily smooth and easy, that if you fix your eyes on the inside of the machine, or on any:distant object, you cannot believe that you are travelling fas'er than in an or din a ry st age coac h, an d i t is on!v when you look at the hedges, trees, ci - house close to the road, and see them vanishing like meteors, that you get an idea of the tremendous velocity of your movement. The Editor of the Leeds Mercury, who was present, says, " We had the pleasure to travel on a level at the rate of 28 miles an hour, with as little appearance of danger, and even of undue speed, as is felt in a .tage coach travelling on the highway at the ordinary speed. The motion, indeed, of tlin carriage was so light, that the passenger? , could .ead with perfect ease at the period of its utmost velocity, and, if the springs on which the katriago for passengers was mounted had been in perfeett order, we thi n k it wou ld not h ave b een ver y W.- - ficult to write." Were the vehicle nicely poised on springs, and covered in to exclude the external ourrent of air created by its motion, you might imagine that you were in a state of perfect rest, while you are flying along the surface with the speed of a racer. Then the steam-horse is oa apt, like his brother of flesh and blood, to be frightened from his propriety by sudden panics which defy the prudence and skill of the driver. Explosion, if it takes place, will not injure the passengers, for they are in a separate vehicle, and the enginemen may be trusted with the care of their own lives. The rails, too, which confine and regulate the tnotion, of the engine and car riage, keeping them upon one invariable line, and that line perfectly smooth, lessen the chances of accident in a remarkable degree, as the pro. ceedings at Liverpool shear ; for though scores of persons were hanging about the . camagea, and thousands standing along the sides of the paths/ and pressing within a few inches of the machines / while moving with their utmost speed, not a single individual received the smallest injury. In day light, and with good arrangements, our friend's opinion is (and few are more competent to judge), that travelling in the steam coach at twenty miles an hour may be much more safe as well as pleasant, than in an ordinary stage "coaal, at eight or nine. One of the great recommendations of this species of conveyance will be its cheapness. It is expected that goods will be carried from Man chester to Liverpool for less than ss. per ton. Men, of course, cannot be packed like bales of calico, but let us allow them five times the space s and suppose that the charge is in proportion. Now, since twelve passenger s , with th eir lug ga g e , are reckoned equal to a ton in the mails, it fol.- lows that a place in the steam coach from Matt , chester to Liverpool should cost the twelfth part of 2Ss. or 2s. We may arrive at the same re sult by another process. It may be inferred from one of the 'experiments that the Novelty would carry 50 passengers from the one town to the other at the rate of 20 miles an hour, and would of course yield the proprietors the sum of Si. by an hour and half's work. Six trips a day performed at this rate would produce 30/. which we conceive would make the conveyance of passengers a very profitable branch of trade. As the Railway Company will have a monopoly, they may probably charge more at first, but when railway carriage is subjected like other branches of business to the law of competition, we imagine the terms will not be higher than we have stated. Let us now take the speed and the cheapness together, and see what changes this new mode of conveyance is likely to produce, when railways are made along all our great thoroughfares. Let us suppose the speed to be 20 miles an hour, and the expence ls. for 15 miles of road; and the fares by ordinary stage coaches about 4d. per mile. The journey from London to York by the mail costs at present about 31., and occupies 23 hours. By the steam-coach it will be accom plished in 10 hours, at at an expence of 14s. T. The ,saving of money and time will be as great in the case of Liverpool and Manchester, which are at nearly the same distance from the metro polis. A Leeds or Manchester manufacturer may take an early breakfast in his own house at seven, dine in London at five, transact business that night or next morning, and reach his home on the following evening, while a two-pound note will cover his whole expences The journey from Manchester to Liverpool, or from Liverpool to Manchester (31 miles), will be performed at an expence of 23. in one hour and a half, or, as some already anticipate, in one hour. Now, an active pedestrian in the metropolis will spend two hours in going from Grosvenor-square to Wapping; or, with the luxury of a hackney coach, he may go in one hour, at an expence of 7s. Thus, by the ad mirable invention of steam carriages, Liverpool and Manchester will be brought nearer to one another, in a moral, social, and commercial sense, that the extremities of London now are. If this be not absolutely annihilating time and space, it is abridging both in a wonderful degree. Suppose that an Edinburgh man has a friend to visit or business to transact in London ; his journey up costs him two days travelling, with a sacrifice of two nights rest, and a sum of 71. ; and his journey down the same. By the steam coach and railway he will be able to reach Lon don in 20 hours without losing one night's sleep, at an expence of 265. or 365., including his food ; and his journey home will be per formed in the same time, and at the same ex pence. If we compare the two cases, the time will be as 2i to 1, the expence as 4 to 1, and comfort and convenience as 6 to 1, in favour of steam conveyance. The inducements to travel would be in something like a compound ratio of all these, or, to speak moderately, as 20 or 30 to 1. An Edinburgh dealer might send off a letter at eight at night on Monday, which would be delivered to the manufacturer in Leeds or Man chester at eight on Tuesday morning. The latter might despatch the goods ordered in the course of the same day, and they would reach the dealer when his shop opened on Wednesday morning. Thus only one entire day would elapse betwixt writing the order and receiving the articles. The manufacturer's sale-room in Manchester would, in this case, be almost as much at the shopkeeper's command, as his own warehouse in a neighbouring street. An Edinburgh merchant could leave his house at seven, breakfast in Glasgow at nine, (assum ing that a railway is made), transact business there till two, and be home to his own dinner at cfoouarch.,ahtirea,n ande xpe l n s. ce6od. for7s.fb 6d, namely, ely, At 6 s.for pre sent the journey, including subsistence an d a night's lodging, would cost him seven times as much. Within a few years after steam navigation was introduced on the Clyde, the intercourse be tween Glasgow and Greenock, according to Mr. Cleland, was increased tenfold. The expellee in this case was reduced about two-thirds, but pERRING'S PATENT LIGHT BEA VER HATS, at 21s. to 265. weighing only 5i "nee% ire the best ever offered to public notice; for durability and brightness they are unequalled ; they are 11 '1 moro'than half the weight of the common made hat, " ‘ ,",will Wear equally as l on g.
