The Mmander, Commander Sir Malcolm Mac- Gregor, moved up from St. Helen's Roads yesterday to Spithead, to await the completion of the Arro gant's repairs. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, Capt. Thomas Baillic, is berthed alongside the Sheer Jetty at Portsmouth-yard, and her crew are employed in stripping her and returning her stores.

A particularly interesting lecture was delivered in the Music Hall at the Royal Pavilion, on Monday evening, on "The Search for the Franklin Expedi tion, by Land and by Sea," by Dr. King, of Sir George Back's expedition to the great Fish River. The room was excessively crowded, and hundreds were unable to obtain admission. The lecturer spoke with great fluency, and the audience fre quently rewarded his endeavours with great ap plause. W. Coningham, Esq., M.P., occupied the chair, ami on the platform were several of the Town Council and others. A large chart of the North Polar Seas was suspended behind the lecturer, to which he frequently referred. Some crayon por traits of the Esquimaux, in different dresses, were upon the platform, to which, however, the lecturer did not refer. On Mr. Coningham and Dr. King entering the room they were greeted with tremen dous cheering. The CHAIRMAN said that, about fourteen years ago, at Woolwich dockyard, two vessels were fitted out for another expedition to the Polar regions— the Erebus and the Terror. The Erebus was com manded by Sir John Franklin, and the Terror by Captain Crozier. Their destination was to.explor• the remaining portions of the north-west passage, which had so long occupied the attention of our navigators. They went out full of hope—their only fear was that they might pass through the straits too easily, and emerge on the other side before their magnetic observations had been com pleted. He need not remind them how cruelly their anticipations had been fulfilled. They started in 1845, and in 1847 the greatest public anxiety was manifested about them ; and, after a great deal of urging, the Admiralty were induced to offer a reward for information of their whereabouts. The reward offered was--he was informed by a person of whose veracity he could entertain no doubt, and of whose knowledge he was equally certain—the sum of £25 !—for information of an expedition com posed of the finest and bravest officers and crews which could be found in her Majesty's service ! "Various private expeditions had been subsequently sent forth, and lately Captain M'Clintock had brought home but meagre informatioa of their ulti mate destiny. There was a gentleman, however, who seemed to have had an extraordinary predi•- tion of what would happen to these unfortunate expeditions, and urged upon the Colonial Office, and upon the Admiralty, the necessity of sending expeditions to the Fish River, where, if a ship had been lost, the crews must inevitably make their way. The very spot which he pointed out was that to which the two vessels directed their efforts, as they could read in Dr. Ray's interesting narrative. The hon. gentleman then declared his firm convic tion that the story of cannibalism was a pure fiction. He knew not only Fitz James, but many of the other officers who composed that expedition, and he believed they were incapable of resorting to such a practice. He concluded by introducing to the audience the lecturer, to whom he had alluded, as having pointed out the Fish River as the place where a land and summer expedition should be directed. (Cheers.) Dr. KING, who on rasing was loudly cheered, began by . briefly alluding to the commencement of those various expeditions which had been sent in search of the " North-west Passage," which had led to the conclusion that there was a Polar sea. Upon the scientific and geographical data given to them from Baffin's Bay and Behring's Straits by various navigators, the Government determined to despatch expeditions for the purpose of discovering this pas sage. To all those who were always crying out "Cu/ bone ?"—let him say it was of the utmost import ance in a commercial point of view, because at that time they had not used steam power as a propeller for ships, and this passage it was supposed would be almost a direct route from England to our Indian possessions. Subsequently it became a scientific question ; and the results they had had from these various expeditions were something enormous. In consequence of the discoveries of Ross, Simpson, Back, and others, the Government determined, of their own accord, to send out an expedition. It was not an expedition of Sir J. Franklin, in which he came forward and said, " Gentlemen, I am anxious for service; I want to be employed, and will you give me service ?"' ''N•6 . such thing. It was the Board of Admiralty themselves—the Go vernment themselves concocted the plan. They called upon the Royal Society to accord to them the fact that it was desirable in a scientific point of view; and Sir J. Franklin and his officers and crew did ne more to that great expedition than every officer would do—volunteer when their Queen and their country called upon them to go on a great errand. (Cheers.) If Franklin did go to form the nucleus of an iceberg, was he to blame ? Who was to blame but the parties who sent him? If he went to accomplish great points, and great services, then he (the lectarer) maintained that every effort that could possibly be made should be made to recover whatever records there might happen to be of that expedition. (Hear, hear.) Franklin's instructions were, that he was to pro ceed up Baffin's Bay, enter Behring's Strait, and when he passed through the Strait he was to take no notice of the inlet., but to make a direct course north-west, towards the continent of America. It was a matter of secrecy ; but he (Dr. King) chal lenged the Government, and at last drew from them the fact of the route which they had been ordered to take. He never could have been so impudent as he had been in asserting certain points and things if they had not been founded upon the best know ledge that it was possible for a man to possess on the subject. (Cheers.) The points he urged were —first, lands having an eastern aspect are ice bound; and, secondly, those having a western aspect are ice-free. It was a remarkable fact that nearly all the failures arose from not properly studying that fact. The lecturer then spoke of the efforts made in the search for Franklin. The first great effort that the Government made he always felt was the right, only it was not sufficiently comprehensive. ft was supposed at that time that Franklin had gone up Wellington Inlet, and there was an expedition started with the intention of going across Russia, thinking that Franklin had gone so high up the Polar Sea that he had been thrown upon the Asiatic coast. The lecturer then asserted that he considered Dr. Ray's account of cannibalism was a most unwarrant able assertion. Ile (the lecturer) did not say Dr. Ray did not have it fram an Esquimaux, but he ought to have known what it was worth, and had better not have mentioned the subject at all. Ray went within 40 miles of where he could have veri fied the account of the Esquimaux ; but he turned from it, and went 90 miles in another direction, and then returned back, but never went t he 40 miles to verify the account! The lecturer did not think Dr. Ray was able to clear up precisely how he did ac count for the Esquimaux tale. He then, after speaking of the discoveries made by Capt. M'Clin tock, contended that the Esquimaux had positively pointed out the spot where the ships were wrecked ; and said if they referred to Ray's account in 1850, " that there were 40 white men travelling over the ice, and dragging a boat," they had positive evi dence that between 1849 and 1850 the 105 who were alive in the year 1847 ware reduced to 40, excepting they divided themselves, and went in dif ferent directions. Then there was a boat found, in which were two skeletons and a large quantity of clothing, watches, and other a rticles, the prin cipal feature of which he believed to be the amount of clothing, and it was evident that there were two men left to watch the boat, the main party having gone to the Fish River, leaving their winter clothing behind in the boat. But then what became of the 40 ? The Esquimaux had said that they died; but Mr. Anderson had been down to the place indicated, and he did not find the bodies. They must have gone to Point Ogle, and to Mon treal Island. People talked of carnivore, the wolves, &c., but he knew carnivera did not eat skulls, and therefore he maintained that at the present moment it is a great mystery what became of these 40. Ile believed that the hoat was left with the two men in it, and that the 40 men made for the Fi s h Ri ver , an d never re t urne d to the boat. His opinion was th a t th ese t wo men died of cold, but and the other t i h n e r a a p s r probability, il andity , t h o a n t e w w e one was in th e b ow o f th e b oa t an d th e other in the r s a t s h the reason s ick man,avlii stern. M'Clintock's ex cl• •pe item showed what the lecturer had d contendc t• or for the last 12 years — that they could do nothing in these seas in ships ; and when Captain M'Clintock had got to a certain point he conld go no further, even with the wreck before him, which made men more eager than ever for a limited search • precisely to the spot where these people had died, or perhaps where a small remnant were still existing. (Cheers.) If there were any survivors they must be amongst the Esquimaux, and if so they were, in his opinion, on Lake Garry, beyond which it was imiossible for them to pro ceed. It was an everlasting disgrace to this country that they had left these men in the position they had, and the day must came when they could not leave the fate of Franklin in its present condition —we were now upon the threshold of knowing what they had been about. (Cheers.) That he had dis covered the great Polar passage there was not a shadow ofdoubt whatever. There was one point which did not strike Franklin at the time, a point which made a very great impression upon him (1)r. King) in going over tlii matter—viz., if you go into a sea which is in a state of congelation, that never was frozen before, it became immediatly frozen. It is a nucleus to form ice in a bay. Franklin had a strong feeling that if he could only get to hug" the land he would find " lanes" of water ; but that which was water when he went in became immedi ately frozen. He (the lecturer) could prove the theory that a ship itself became its own " berg," by going into these half-frozen waters. He contended that a summer survey down that river would throw an en tire light upon the history of the missing crew. There was not a doubt about it; and the trifling sum that it would cost to perform such a journey, he maintained the Government were bound to find. (Cheers.) It must be done by the Government, and he had offered to do it for £l,OOO, and he believed the lludson's Bay expedition cost them £3,000. That was the greatest disgrace that ever fell upon a great commercial company, a company which held their charter on the con ditime that they discovered land, and who promised Prince Rupert, who granted them that charter, that they would find the north west passage. The Admiralty were culpable first, for not doing their duty: properly; and secondly, for not demanding that the Hudson's Bay Com pany should search that part, which could not cost them £3,000 or £4,000 at the utmost. They had deferred the progress of discovery, and bad dis graced the charter which they held. (Cheers.) And although the Government had spent nearly £2,000,000 in search of Franklin, they had never sought him where they ordered him to,go. They would not allow an expedition to be sent in the actual direction of the Fish River, which must have met the party, if Franklin followed his orders ; and there were records to show that Franklin fol lowed his orders to the very letter. He (the lec turer) felt strongly upon the absence of any record being found upon Becehy Island ; and no man who knew anything at all about it would doubt that some record was left there. If so, what had become of it ? He believed there had been treachery some where, because if they had at an early period fell upon a record at Beechv Island, stating that they were making for the Fish River, he thought the British Government would have prevented him from going down that river in search of them. He maintained that it was inexpensive as regards money, and also as regards life, so that, under these circumstances, seeing that a summer survey was required, it was due to this people, and to our na tional honour, that we should know exactly where to find the wreck, and that we should make that little summer survey he proposed. (Cheers.) The lecturer concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and especially to thank him for al lowing him the opportunity of addressinc , so very numerous, and certainly very enlightened, an audience. A vote of thanks was carried amidst great applause. Mr. CONINGIIAM returned thanks and said that the object of their meeting this evening was really a public one, and a most interesting one ; and ho trusted it would not be without its results. Ho hoped, after what they had heard, that they would clearly see the course for this country to adopt was a very simple one. All attempts to get at the lost ships, or obtaining further records of the lost crews by sea was evidently fruitless. The only thing that remained to be done was a summer survey down this Fish River, where Dr. King for years past has been directing the attention of the Admiralty as the place where the crews of these ships would be found. He (Dr. King) had told them this expedition would be inex pensive, and that it would be fraught with little danger to those who were engaged in it. He (Mr. Coningham) thought that when this great nation had sent forth expeditions upon such dangerous errands as it had done, having gone to the enor mous cost of £2,000,000 in searching after them, it would not, at the eleventh hour, stop short, and say they would send no further, but leave the crew— the possible survivors—and their records to pass away. (Great cheering.) He trusted that every one present would urge upon their frietids, and those of influence, the neces s ity of persuading the Government—to force upon the Government, for they would do nothing evidently unless they were forced—(hear, hear, and applause)—to carry out this necessary search: He thought that any further records would be of the highest interests to science. The discoveries of these men might be of very great value; but still more, those humane feelings which he believed animated the breasts of every English man would prompt him to urge that this expedition should be undertaken for their own satisfaction, and for the satisfaction of the friends and relatives of the gallant men who had laid down their lives in this dangerous search. (Cheers.) An unanimous vote of thanks was then accorded to the worthy lecturer, after which the assembly dispersed. THE iIRITISLIDISPUTE WITH PAR. G (IA F. Since our detail last month of the particulars o this unpleasantness, despatches have been forwarded by the Government of Senor Lopez, President of Paraguay, to Lord J. Russell, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. These set forth, as we have stated, that there was no intention whatever, nor is there the least desire now, on the part of the Pa r aguayan authorities to do anything that should interrupt those friendly rel a ti on s that have so long subsisted between the two countries, ever since the arrival in Asuncion of Mr. Consul Henderson, who has always experienced the greatest courtesy. But, the despatches add, it would be destructive of those relations, because destructive of the self-respect and efficiency of the executive of Paraguay, were it to suffer its domestic laws to be set aside, and the ad ministration of justice, according to the established local tribunals, to be overruled at the demand of a ' foreign Consul, in behalf of a person not a subject of the State that functionary acts for, and who, even if he were, be dealt with according t o th e well-known joridi is equally amenable as a native to cal usages of the territory he is dwelling in at the time. The history of the transaction is given with minuteness, and, as far as we can gather, with fair ness. It would certainly seem that President Lopez. who has had so many troubles on his hands of late, could not be wished to increase them through pro voking a quarrel with England by dealing with unjustifiable harshness towards a single British sub ject. But he maintains that the person claiming to be such has no pretensions to the character, having long travelled in Paraguay as a Monte Videan na tive citizen, with a passport of that city ; until he conspired with certain Paraguayana to assassinate the President and family. Then he exhibited a pass port obtained at the British Consulate in Monte Video, but which could be no protection for any Englishman against the consequences of a criminal act ; certainly no protection against being put on his trial to answer a criminal charge; and this is all that is being done. The President, or rather his Minister, Senor Valdez, repeats his belief that when Lord J. Russell comes dispassionately to weigh the whole case, he will be of opinion not only that the Para guayan Government have not done anything un warranted by the usages of civilized nations, to friendly intercourse with each other, but that it would have been impossible it could have done otherwise, without deliberately incurring the odium of its own citizens and the contempt of every state that might become aware of such abandonment of all domestic independence to foreign dictation. We hope the correspondence on this subject will be la id . before Parliament as soon as the session begins, so that we may know what are the real grounds for any action of a coercive kind, if such should be thought of, in that distant part of the world, where our interference has so frequently resulted in evi▪ l to ourselves and others, and so seldom in good to either. Witness all our operations, and prevention of operations, in regard to Rosas, whose ruinous and sanguinary regime our bungling intervention was the means of continuing for years after i▪ t should have collapsed. It ultimately did when " civilizing" England got out of the way of that civilization which never could have visited the Rio Plata as long as the oppressor held the keys of the r t grasp, locking them up, ap proach of the European and outer world.—Lirer alyii,sßoltvia, &c., from all. e e r t i h n e e r IN)Nriotl,h-inpraersagiihi [ADVI9ITISEMENT.] - Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post for two stamps).

A counterpart of the memorial was also presented to Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, the Secretary to the Admiralty, by Capt. Thomas D.

She is to proceed this morn ing down the river on a trial of her machinery before being stripped and paid off. The steam transport Peninsula was yesterday chartered by the War Department for Gibraltar, the Franklyn for Algoa Bay, and the India for Quebec, to ship war stores from Woolwich Arsenal. The gunboat Weazel, Lieut. Howorth, which left Plymouth for China with the Centaur, parted com pany off Ushant, and has returned to the Sound. Her bulwarks and quarterboat are stove, and jib boom carried off. She has gone into dock at Devon port to make good defects. The Cockchafer con tinued in tow of the Centaur. Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, K.C.8., accompanied by Capt. Jerningham, of the gunnery ship Cambridge, went into Plymouth Sound on Tuesday, in the gunb3at Redwing, and inspected the crew of the Ifavannah, 19, Capt. T. Ilarvey, just returned from the Pacific. She discharged her powder the same day, and was subsequently towed by the Zephyr and Confiance tugs into Ifamoaze, where her crew will be paid off. A large body of workmen, under the direction of Mr. Woods, clerk of the works at Portsmouth Dockyard, are busily employing in completing the erection of the staging round the bows of the Victoria, for the accommodation of her Majesty and the Royal family, and also those of the public who have admittance to this part by tickets which have bee■ issued for the purpose. It is calculated that there will be a sufficiency of room in this gallery, for nearly 1,000 spectators. Ample provision will also be made under the shed for the accommodation of the general public. As far as is known at pre sent, her Majesty is expected to enter the dockyard in the Royal train by the eastern gate, alight in the vicinity of the steam basin, and, entering the car• riages which be in attendance, at once proceed the short remaining distance by the new dock and entrance to the steam basin to the scene of the in tended launch. The central gallery will be opened for the admission of parties in the possession of tickets at 10 a.m., and all places must be taken by 11 a.m., at which time the entrance will be closed. ROYAL ARSENAL.—WOOLWICII, Nov. 9.—Two complete 18-pounder batteries, and a large quantity of shot and shell, have been shipped during the pre sent week—the former to be forwarded to Pem broke, and the latter for the coast defences of the Merseyland the Hastings coastguard vessel at Liver pool. Unabated activity still prevails in the ship ment of war stores for China, and several river pft toons for service in that country have been prepared. It is also stated that a number of Sir Wm. Arm strong's rifled guns will be forwarded to China as soon as possible, with gun-carriages suitable for naval as well as for military operations. The artil lery force about to embark on board the Simoom at Portsmouth for Hong Kong comprises in its ranks about 30 non-commissioned officers who have re cently returned from the school of gunnery at S hoe buryness, and have been reported as competent in structors in the use of rifled ordnance. In accord ance with recent orders from the War Department, the manufacture of brass guns at the Royal Arsenal is to be entirely suspended for the present. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. C. A. Heysham, to the Mutine ; Lieut. IV. R. Kennedy, to the Trafalgar ; G. D. Downing, Second Master to the Nautilus; F. G. R. Wright, Assistant Clerk to the Mars ; and Hugh B. Edwards, Assistant Clerk to the Algiers. THE ARMY. Capt. P. Geraghty, Ist battalion 20th Regiment, has been appointed instructor in musketry to the se cond depot bat talion at Chatham gcrrison, in the place of Capt. J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment, who proceeds to join the head-quarters of his regiment, which have just arrived from India and are quartered at Preston. Orders were yesterday issued at Chatham for the officers and men belonging to the depots comprising the second battalion of that garrison to be exercised in embarking and disembarking from her Majesty's ship Tyne this day, the first battalion, together with the corps of Royal Marines, having been already practised in that part of their military duties. The second battalion is now very strong inconsequence of the depots of which it is com posed being up to their full complement. The Himalaya screw troopship, Commander John Seccombe, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from Kingstown, with the Royal Elthorne Light Infantry Militia on board, comprising— Lieut.-Col. L. Murray Prior, in command; Capts. King, Woodall, Freeman, Lane, and Wilson ; Licuts. Blake, Campbell, Balderson, Stack, and Wild; Ensigns Hewston, James, Barnes, Newing ton, Randall, and Cunynghame ; Capt. and Adjt. Wm. Bell; Paymaster R.

The baggage and officers' horses (seven) were landed last evening, and the troops will be landed this morning by steam tugs. The same plan will be pursued with the Urgent on her arrival, both vessels having to re. main at Spithead until after the launch of the Vic toria on the 12th inst., from want of room in the harbour. We are requested to contradict the state ment which has appeared of the Himalaya's grounding at the mouth of the harbour of Kings town. no such occurrence having taken place. The first step in advance towards the long-con templated reorganization of the important esta blishment composing the gun factories in Woolwich Arsenal was yesterday taken by handing over the direction of the department in due form from the military to the civil service, to be conducted in fu ture under the auspices of Sir W. Armstrong, C. 8., and the resident superintendent, Mr. John An derson, late inspector of machinery. Great pre parations are made for manufacturing rifled ord nance on Sir William's principles, calculated, ac- IRON SCREW STEAM-SHIPS. (From Mitchell' Stcam-Sh4ping Journal.) Iron ships, like brick mansions, can be built to last a few years, or tahold together for a century. All depends upon the weight and strength of mate rial employed, and the architectural design. It has been asserted by the 3wner of an iron yacht that he paid at the rate of £4O per ton, builder's measure ment, but there are persons who advertise to com plete ships in hull, rigging, and machinery, at from £9 to £l3. Iron ships, therefore, may be purchased to suit the capitalist. He may have solidly built vessels of good metal, or he may have common plated ships, constructed expressly to sell. The weakly built ship, when smartly rigged and painted, will look as good to the uninitiated as the one more substantially put together. The Tyne and the Clyde have a reputation for turning out cheap iron ships, but we suspect that good strong vessels of the very first class can be had from off the banks of those rivers if a remunerative price is paid. Where honest and independent surveyors are engaged to overlook the work, it is their fault if material of the right substance is not employed, though they can not be present at all times to see the metal fused. There is a great variation in the cohesion of diffe rent irons. Old metal, transmuted, perhaps, some thousands of times, till its properties deteriorate, is slightly mixed with bars of virgin iron, and plates are turi:ed out, by contract, of a given thickness, which may by chance stand the atmospheric pres sure applied to test its strength. Well coated, these plates may last for years ; but if, from some parti cular cause, an equal strain is brought to bear on one, or several of them, they f a ll t o pi eces lik e , as was once described by the shipwrecked mate of a steamer, " the tearing of a sheet o f p a p er ;" or , t o apply the simile of another seaman saved from the wreck of a screw collier, " like a pack of cards." The boatswain's mate of the Royal Charter states that that ship " broke up like a band-box." In some instances this strange destruction is less owing to the fault of the iron than to the peculiar build of the ship. It is almost impossible to award to each their proper sharent the blame; but it has always been observed that when iron ships do begin to break up there are no half measures ; the rivets start, a few plates go, and the rest follow. Where they do hold, their tenacity is great if a ship is faithfully built. But the durability of a ship de pends not so much on the quantity as on the quality of the metal. A ship built of the best Low Moor iron, with cold hammered plates, and well strength ened horizontally, will stand an enormous strain. As between Scotch, Welsh, and English iron of various descriptions, there is a difference in value of about £5 per ton, more or less, according to the place of delivery. The tenacity of metals depends very much upon their purity. Professor Wallace gives the specific cohesion and strength of different sorts of iron as follows : Specific cohesion.

When, therefore, we speak of an iron-built ship, if we would rightly understand her build, we must know something of the composition of the metal used in her construction. But to il lustrate the utter impracticability of thoroughly understanding the relative strength of samples of iron, we will also give the experiments made by Rennie to ascertain the direct cohesion of bars one inch square, in tons.

There are tricks and adul terations in every trade, and we fear the manipula tors of iron are not free from the universal vice. Hence, as screw vessels built of iron are becoming so common in several trades, supplanting clipper sailing-vessels, it is essential that more attention should be paid by intending owners of such ships to the metal used, and to the principle of construc tion. Screw steam-ships do not appear to be fa vourites with the public as passenger-ships, though they answer admirably for the conveyance of hcavp cargoes. The loss of the Royal Charter, which could not stern the tempest even with her 300 horse-power auxiliary engines, has deprc ciated them still further. But her case is an exceptional one. When brought up by her anchor the masts were cut away, and they fouled the screw, though it must be admitted she was dragging before she was dismasted. This fouling of the screw appears difficult to overcome. Wire rigging, chain sheets and halyards are now so much used that it is difficult to attach any cutting instru ment that will prove efficacious. A chain hanging to a spar will sink under the ship's bottom, or be drawn under by the ship's suction, and, when seized by an arm of the screw, insinuate itself round and round, till it either breaks off the fans or stops the engine. The steamship Prince, when caught in the gale off Sebastopol, it is said, was working off the shore, when the order was given to cut a way the mizenmast. Immediately the mast went by the board, the rigging fouled the screw, the ship was disabled, and her loss followed. Many a sailing ship has been saved by cutting away the masts ; but in screw steamers, un'ess care is taken to see the rigging cjear astern, the remedy is worse than the disease. The screw for first-class passenger ships, unless as a mere auxiliary power for long voyages, is pos sibly' doomed. It was prophesied that all steamers would be propelled by screws before 1858, and the adaptation of several of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ships from side wheels to stern screws seemed, at one time, to give force to the prophecy ; but the last new vessel of the company, built to order, was the Delta, with paddle wheels ; and their vessel now on the stocks will also have side wheels. In screw vessels there is so much noise in the after section of the ship, by the rotation of the shaft, that it is unpleasant to be quartered there. The sleeping accommodation is consequently placed more amidships, and here you have the smell of the oil from the engine -room, and the heat from the boilers. Besides which, screw vessels roll badly, and the vibration from the screw gives a tremulous motion to the ship, to the sore aggravation of sea sickness. In the Great Eastern, when the screw is at work, the vibration is very great unless canvas is spread, and the mastheads show this plainly ,by their heavy quivering. When the screw stops and the ship is driven by paddle only her motion is free from all vibration, and she progresses smoothly. On the Great Eastern's success or failure we appre hend will depend whether the double power will be taken up and brought into use for passenger steamers. The unsold portion of the Australian gold in the market, consisting of the £168,000 by the Orwell, has been taken for the Continent, together with the 35,000 Sydney sovereigns by the Phoenician, and £4,000 in bars from the Bank, BIRMINGHAM.—Two gentlemen were nominated for the mayoralty—Mr. Alderman Lloyd, banker, and Mr. Alderman Baldwin, papermaker ; the latter was mayor in 1855. Sixty-three out of the sixty four members of the council were present. The votes were 32 for Mr. Lloyd, and 31 for Mr. Bald win. Mr. Lloyd was then elected mayor by a majority of one vote only. A very cordial vote of thanks was passed to the retiring mayor (Sir John Itatcliff), who was entertained at dinner at the Royal Hotel in the evening, the now .Tayor presiding. Noftwicll. Yesterday Mr. J. H. Tillett was elected mayor, and Mr. I. Underwood sheriff of this city. The proceedings excited great interest, as the appointment of eight aldermen had also to be made, and until they were chosen, the liberal and conservative sections of the council were precisely equal, 28 on each side. As the aldermen are elected for six years the balance of power would have been decided for that period, and of course every member was whipped up on both sides. Both Mr. Tillett and Mr. Underwood are liberals, and after they had been appointed mayor and sheriff the conservatives in a body quitted the Council-chamber. The atten tion of the council was then called to an attempt to bribe one of the liberal councillors to vote so as to secure the election of conservative aldermen. It was affirmed that Mr. Fox, the councillor in question, had been offered £3OO to do this, and Mr. Fox held up, in support of the assertion, the halves of threel3oo notes, which he alleged had been given him as an an instalment. The proceeding of course produced great excitement, and a committee was appointed to inquiri into the circumstances, with a view to the vindication of the character and dignity of the council. It is fair to add that the Conservatives argue that they are entitled to a share of the alder men, as they have a majority of elected councillors. They also complain that they ought to have had, in rotation, a Conservative mayor, in accordance with an understanding entered into some years since. NORTIIAMPTON.—Edmund Francis Law, Esq., architect, was yesterday morning unanimously elected mayor. COLCHESTER.--Yesterday the town council of this borough met for the purpose of electing a mayor and aldermen, when, in consequence of the strong poli tical feeling which has characterised the municipal elections, an attempt was made to break down the system of choosing the chief mn;;istrate from the ranks of aldermen exclusively. Alderman Smythers proposed E. Williams, Esq., D.D., as chief magis trate, which was second e d by J ose ph C oo k e , q. Councillor Carr condemned the principle of retain ing the office of mayor amongst the aldermen, and. proposed Thomas Moore, Esq., an influential coun cillor, which was seconded:by Councillor T. Taylor, but upon a division, Alderman Williams was elected by 13 to 7. At attempt was made to abolish the mayor's salary of 50 guineas per annum, but the proposition was lost. After some opposition, the retiring aldermen were re-elected. OXFORD.—Mr. Thos. Randall, hatter and hosier, was elected chief magistrate of this city by a majo rity of six over his opponent, Mr. James Wickens, 'wine and spirit merchant. NEWBURY.—Mr. Henry Flint was elected ; Mr. Councillor Marten and Mr. Councillor Turner were chosen aldermen in the place of Mr. Alderman Alexander and .11r. Alderman Adey—the former of whom retired. It is anticipated that if the late mayor and Mr. Alderman Adey offer themselves as candidates for the vacant posts of councilmen they will be elected. READING.—Mr. Henry Adolphus Simmonds was elected. ROCIIESTER.—Yesterday Mr. John Foord, a justice of the peace for the county, and also a bo rough magistrate, was unanimously elected mayor of this city for the ensuing year. SoUTIIAMPToM.—Mr. F. Perkins was elected mayor of Southampton yesterday. He is the youngest mayor ever known in that borough. A grand banquet was given to the corporation last evening at the ancient audit house to celebrate the inauguration. WOLVERHAMPTON.—CounciIIor Henry Under hill proposed Alderman Benjamin Hicklin for the office of mayor. Alderman Perry seconded the nomination, and there being no other candidate he was unanimously elected. LANCASTER.—Wm. Whelon, Esq., was yesterday elected mayor for the ensuing year. STRANGE COMPANIONS IN A BAIL- WAY TRAIN. On the evening of Thursday last one of our citi zens accompanied by a male and female friend, entered a second-class carriage at the Canterbury station, for the purpose of proceeding to London. In the same carriage, at one corner sat a man, evi dently under the influence of drink. The train started, and the strangers began to chaff each other, and then to quarrel. At length the tipsy man took off his coat, turned up his sleeves, and prepared to do battle with his antagonist, who appeared to be in the same mood. This scene so alarmed the fe male that she went off in hysterics, and on reaching Wye our citizen and his two companions went into the next carriage. Here sat two dragoons—a ser geant and a private; the former was enjoying a nap in . the corner, but the other was looking wildly about him. The movements of this man were most extraordinary and alarming. A few moments after the newcomers had taken their places he plunged his arm under the seat occupied by the sergeant, and brought forth a forage bag. This he carefully examined, and at length drew out a razor, which he opened and proceeded to strop, to the terror of the other passengers, who could not possibly imagine what the fellow was going to do, his countenance being anything but prepossessing, and his actions those of a maniac. Having well stropped the razor, he then helped himself to a lump of bread and meat, which he cut with the razor, and masticated with great rapidity. His hunger appeased, the remainder of the meat and bread was deposited in the bag, and the man again deliberately set about sharpen ing the dangerous instrument. At this juncture the terror of the female was extremely painful to witness, while that of her companions was hardly less intense, but there was no escape. Fortunately, the light at the top of the carriage enabled them to witch, with breathless silence, the extraordinary manoeuvres of their singular travelling colleagues, but did not tend in the slightest degree to calm the intense excitement and fear which they had pro duced. At length the sergeant awoke from his slumbers, and no sooner did he open his eyes than he immediately grasped the dragoon by the throat, and forcibly took the razor from his grasp, which he immediately deposited in a place of safety. The fact was then elicited that the man who had been playing such antics with the razor was a maniac, that he had been sent from one of the transports in charge of the sergeant, who was taking him to head-quarters prior to his dismissal from the ser vice. The passengers loudly complained of the conduct of the sergeant, in having gone to sleep while having such a dangerous character under his care, but he excused himself by saying that he had been up with him the whole of the previous night, and could not keep his eyes open any longer.— South-Eastern Gazette. LIFE IN CEYLON.—The white ants, for instance, or termites, render life almost unendurable to a good house wife, who sees her furniture crumble into dust, her books and papers eaten through, her clothes rendered unwearable, and the souvenirs of absent friends destroyed, by the ravages of these omnivorous insects. So rapid, too, is their working, that they have been known to raise " a pinnacle of moist clay, six inches in height, and twice as large in diameter, underneath a table, between sitting down to table and the removal of the cloth." To the person, however, there are greater annoyances even than ants. In passing through woodlands the traveller is liable to be covered with ticks. which burrow under the skin, " causing a sensation of smarting as if particles of red-hot sand had beat scattered over the flesh." Then, there are the myriapods and the millipede, which inflict wounds so acutely painful that fever is oftentimes the consequence.
