On the very day appointed to lautteli the first iron steamer ever built in this city, and \v . hile'the wreck of the iron Steamer Royal Charter is still the topic of public interest, we receive the sad details of the total destruction of the iron steamer Indian. ThuS, at the dawn . Of this grthit revival of our manufacturing . and . commercial interests, we are • startled by two warnings which we cannot mis lake. If we do not heed . thou, the third may strike at , the root of our new hopes. Not only have foreign nations established the building - of iron ships, bringing ,it once for all through, early perils and adverSities, and saving us a costly . course of ekperiments by placing.their standard de-' signF, tools, and processes within our reach, but they have exhibited to us, at .theit own cost, the • frightful consequences of bad and bad materials. Our national ingenuity, indeed, might, have taught us in time to make iron Ships, but our propensity to neglect Qugineering completeness for. the sake of hurrying on commercial results has retarded our progress and seriously injured our reputation 'abroad. But now, 'Without the risk - a failure, we may enter upon .a successful es. - keer of iron steam, navigation, at once incited to ,tite utmost energy by the economy of foreign vess'Ai, and most Solemnly warned by examples of death and deStrue tion against the devices of counting-room engineers, and'especially againsfusing bad iron and ba work because they are cheap. It is scarcely necessary to say that these ships have not been lest because they were made of iron. : or that: the fact of their loss. proves'. nothing against the leading. principles of their construction. Even if the proportions and arrangementi, of iron steamers could not be altered —even if it were physically impossible to iinproVe their design, these accidents would not by any means prove that there is necessary and inherent danger in the fact that the hull: of these ships consist of iron-plates instead -of wooden planks. The short history of iron steamers teaches a very different lesson. lt a .proves conclusively that well-built iron ships are are almost indestructible, even when ham mered and ground upon the . rugged crags of lee shores for Years together.' Theen tire hull of the City of Philadelphia has lain for three or four years upon the Rocks at Cape Race ; the Tyne was exposed nearly as long on the Dorset coast 'without apparent change; the enormous hull, of .the Great Britain, having thumped-and chafeda whole winter upon the rugged bottom of Dundruin Bay, was got off and has been in service ever since; the Persia stove in and filled her forward compar,trnent by striking an iceberg at full speed, and finished her trip to New York in'very good winter time ; the Edinburgh and the North American have both struck 'sit. full speed npon rocks in the St. Lawrence, the latter without material iiijury. And these are only average iron ships, not in any Way remarkable for excellnt construction. What, now f is,the history of iron vessels known to have been badly constructed ? Only last season the Cuba, a new steame i r; opened her seams and foundered on her first trip—not in an ocean hurri cane, or 'on the rocks of a cape, but in the English Channel. The fact is that the experience with irOnn ships, and with iron in .all its forms, is now so large and well deAried,.that it is not at all necessary to go back to the construction of any giNen machine to find out the character of its material and workman ship ; its`results - are more authentic and readable than its history. No engineer would be so insane as to investigate the character of the materials and the successive stages in the manufacture of a rail way bar which had splintered and worn to pieces in six months, simply to satisfy hiriiself that it was not a well-constructed rail, of unexceptionable material. Neither is there the slightest necessity of our inquiring into the character and manufacture of the hulls of these: ill-fated vessels; the very fact that they broke up at all is the most reasonable and positive proof .that they were wretchedly built. This belief must also be strengthened by well known collaterallacts:—New York Times. 'OPENING OF THE DETROIT DIVISION 07 THE GRAND TRUNK RAILIVA (From the Detroit Advertiser.) On Monday that . division of the Grand Trunk Railway between this city and Port Huron was formally opened for traffic and travel. This was the last link.in the largest railway owned by, and under the management of, one company, not only ; upon the American continent, but in the world: It is over 800 miles in length, costing the enormous sum of 60 millions of dolls, and connecting not only Detroit and Port Huron and the whole west with Portland, but directly with Europe through the Canadian line of steatners. • Though this work has been built with foreign capital, it is almost'as much an American as a Canadian road. It has both its termini 'in the United States, while sixty miles of it lies in Michigan, and over one hundred and fifty, if wo are not mistaken, in Maine. Its great re liance, too, for business, must he on the trade of the United States, the vast West particularly. Though it cannot but prove of vast benefit to that portion of Canada that will be tributary to it, and must re ceive an immense local trade, vet it must depend upon the trade between the Western States and the East—its through traffic—for its profits. As •the WeStern terminus of this great enterfrise, De troit must partake of a large share of its benefits. It opens - to us, and, through us, to the West, a new avenue to the 'East, and what is equally important, it direct trade with Europe. This is ultimately to be' a source of wealth to us that it is not easy to estimate. Detroit, therefore, haS a right to rejoice at the final oompletion of this stupendous work. The first train of 'cars over the Detroit division of this road ran to Port Huron on Monday, and _ though not an excursion train, several of our citi zens were invited by Mr. Hall, the agent of the company in this city, to avail themselves of the occasion to. visit Port Huron and Port Sarnia, with the view of exa mining . the line, and the company's works at tho:e placeS. The invitation was ac cepted by a goodly number of them. The train left Detroit at GI o'clock a.m., and arrived at Port Huron at 10, there having been no change of cars • after leaving the Central depot. When the ferry at Port Huron is completed, there is to be no change,between this city and Portland. The road is probably one of the best constructed on the con tinent, and is one of the smoothest and most solid new roads 'over which we have ever travelled. The motion of the cars was as steady and even as the best ballasted railways in the country. No expense hai been spared to make it a safe and durable work, it having been .completed wicicr. the general super vision and received the approval of engineers sent out from England to examine it. The works at' Port Huron and Port Sarnia, in- eluding docks, depot, engine -houses, store-houses, wheat . elevators, Sze., have been constructed with the same disregard of cost, and the same regard for 'durability and safety. The flour depots at each of these . places have • capacity • enough for storing nearly .. sixty thousand barrels each, and the wheat elevator is one of the most admirably arranged and massively : built edifices of the kind we have ever seen. The decks on both sides of the river have also been built in the most substantial manner possible, and if they do not defy time as well as the elements, it will not be the fault of the company nor the mechanics. Having inspected all the company's works, and thoroughly explored the beautiful and prosperous city of Port Huron, and the town of Port Sarnia, the company, about 50 in all, sat down to an im promptu dinner got up for the occasion at the com pany's new hotel at Sarnia, Though it is still un finished and has not yet been opened to the public, the proprietor provided an entertainment that would have done credit to the best hotel in the country. Mr. Christie, the superintendent of the road, assisted by Mr. Hill, presided at the repast. The addresses were all to the point, and in admi rable temper and tone. The most striking and gratifying feature was the•cordial goad feeling and kindly regard they proved to exist- between the people 'of Canada arm the United: States. It would have been hard for a stranger to have told, from the sentiments • expressed, whether the company were all Canadians or all Aniericans— The language and conduct of the English and Canadian gentlemen present was marked by uniform courtesy towards their Yankee neighbours, and their feeling was re ciprocated with interest. The whole affair was one of the pleasantest of the kind in all respects thatswe have ever attended, and such was the universal sen timent of those present. The completion of this division of the Grand Trunk thoroughfare, besides giving us a direct com munication with Port:and and Europe, opens up to us a new and extensive district of country in our own State that has until now been almost a sealed book to us, It runs through a portion of our State that has hitherto been wholly shut out from all railroad advantagz,s, and brings us within less than. three hours. of Port Huron, one of the most flourish. ing and wide awake cities in Michigan. The country through which it runs, though for some of the way very level, is yet rich in its agri- - culturt.l capacities, and capable of producing its full share of al: those articles which go to make up our wealth. It will now beginto be rapidly settled and developed. There is already a large pepulk tion, and many highly cultivated farms. Most of the land is excellent, and the local traffic that will flow into the Detroit and Port Buren diVision can-- net fail to be large and important, bfith to the com pany and to Detroit. but to neither so importantas to the people who will be accommodated by this new means of reaching a market, and by a cheap 'and quick communication with the:rest of the world. ortAks one of the imMediate results` o f the c o m pleti o n his branch of the Grand -Trunk we are informed that a mail is to be made up•in. and leave Detroit this morning direct for Eurcpe, in charge of Mr. Griffin, the agent for this cernpany.' This mail consists; we presume of the mail matter of the whole northwest which is designee, for Europe, and is in accordance with the arrangement which we an pounced a few days since tliat the government had entered into for desprtching a European mail weekly from ,this city, .6a, the Grand 'Trunk and Canadian steamers. • 711 E NAVY.

Since she has been: at Chatham she has .been fitted with 'Clifford's' patent apparatus 'for lowering boats, in the use of which the crew have been frequently etereised. The lighters have been alongside' for several days delivering, her gunpowder from the magazine at Upnor Castle, the supply she has taken on board being very large.' It is reported that some defects have been discoVered in her gun-carriages wliich will necessitate some alterations before she Proceeds to sea.

The two line-of-battle. ships nearly complete'for launching—the Prince of Wales, 131, three-decker, and the ltoyal Frederick, 91, twO-decker—have every available hand em ployed upon them to complete them within the stipulated time ; the former vessel will be launched the latter end of next month. A number of work men are already engaged in laying down the keel of the Royal Alfred, 91, two-decker, in the shed under which the Victoria was built, and an improved 51 gun frigate (the Dryad) will be commenced at once in the shed from which the Duncan, 101, was launched on Tuesday last. The Sutlej, in .No. 9 dock, converting from a sailing to a steam frigate, is nearly complete in her outside planking. The Rin aldo, 17, screw, building in the easternmost dock, is fast approaching completion, and has a large num ber of, hands employed up-m her. The Glatow, 51, screw, has also a large number of hands work ing upon her, and, having only been laid down since the launch of the Bacchante frigate, has made wonderful progress in • that short time. • The Nelson, . io ,No. 3 .dock, is nearly completed in her conversion • from a sailing three-decker to a two-decked screw steam ship. , The Medea, 6, paddle, and the Bulldog, 6, paddle, in the adjoining , docks—the latter nearly finished—will be almost rebuilt by the time they are completed, employing a number of hands and .absorbing a large quantity of material. The steam factory, with its present limited resources, is of course fully employed iu carrying out the different, repairs, &c., required. The Maguera, iron' screw` troopship, is at present in the hands' of the factory undergoing a thorough repair to hull and ma chinery. In addition to the Government depart ments, there are the different works in the hands of the contractors:—The formation of the new entrance to the steam basin from the harbour with the new )double dock; the lengthening of the three docks in the old ship basin, each from 60 to 60 feet; the new foundry near the steam basin, the store-houses near the "Present Use Store-house," and the commence ment of the new works already ordered to take place—such as the new dock opening from the north corner of the steam basin—the pier, or jetty for coaling ships from the watering island, &c. It is stated that the Government alone are paying weekly at Portsmouth•yard £7,000 sterling as wages, &c. • - The following is an extract from H.M.S.

The corporations of Ipswich and Harwich (says the limvichfournal Journal), by bringing to the notice of the Government the very deficient condition of the ; defences of the latter town, have taken . a step -Which we trust will be . productive of- Much Sdeurity the eastern counties'.

It there fore behoves every, borough iu East Anglia to join with Ipswich and Harwich in insisting on the Har wich fortifications being at once.placed in a proper condition. ,For in what state are they at present . ? As regards Landguard Fort, we believe that it could not withstand the fire of the ordnance of the pre sent day for five minutes ; we .are even doubtful whether tae concussion consequent upon. firing from its brick embrasures the 68-pounders now in use would not of itself suffice to render its ramparts a ruin. So well aware .of .this were the authorities that sonic years ago an earthern battery was erected outside the fort., but the encroach ments of the German Ocean are . alrcady,.begin ning to tenon this, and in a few short years it will have totally disappeared. Then, again, the im portant positions at Walton and Shotley Ferries, from which good roads lead direct to. Ipswich,. through an exceedingly rich country, have each but an old Martello tower to defend them.. Except in a`country like ours, who ever heard of a harbour like that-at •Harwich. with a magnificent opening into it, with a divtli of water available at all times to vessels of large tonnage, `having such points as those at Walton - and Shotley totally unprotected ? It is all - very well to say that oar fleets protect our shores; to a certain extent they do so, but let us suppose for a moment that a Continental war had broken out, that the French had invaded Belgium and occupied Antwerp, and that, while a French fleet from BreSt was making a feint towards the coasts of Devon,. real expedition of some 20,000 men from Antwerp should steer for Harwich, occupy it, and send its main body to take Ipswich. What would be the position of the eastern counties under such"circumstances ? It is true that the traops in camp at Colchester might hastily march to Ipswich, but in the meantime the French would have reached Bury, perhaps - &orwieh," and would have destroyed every wheat-rick and factory on their road. Again, let us suppose, what is very _probable, that the French fleet which had sailed from Brest hail been driVen back there, and. that the whole available . forces of England bad been directed against the ex pedition which had effl cted a landing at Harwich,' and that before very long the invaders were sur rounded and captured. In what condition should we thenba?. Our prestige would be gone, numbers of people would have been ruined, and all we should be able to shoW as a counterpoise would be soma thousands of-prisoners of War, who would be made. perfectly :happy 'till ~hey, should be exchanged. There . is nothing improbable in all this ; are Merely describing, as applicable to the eastern coun ties,. the French expedition under Humbert, which landed in ;{eland ill 1793. But it will be asked, if Harwich is a point of so much importance, how is it that its defences are such as they are ? . This is a question which we are not prepared to answer. All we know is, that in the time of the Spanish Armada Lord' Burleigh laid great stress on the . necessity of-. fortifying it; that in the days of Marlborough a great deal of money,was expended in purchasing land there for defences ; that at the beginning of the present century its fortifications were sufficient to withstand the gunnery of that day, and that there were large garrisons at Ipswich, Harwich, and Woodbridge ; while in the year 1859-60, if there be a redoubt at Harwich there is no garrison beyOud a few infantry, and on the other two sides there are neither redonbts nor garrisons. It may be that we have been as lax in reference to the coast defences as until recently we have been with regard to the volunteer movement ; but in the coming session of Parliament we hope that the matter will be. effectually taken in hand by the representatives both of our counties and boroughs, and that the people of East Anglia will back them 'fit their efforts, whatever may be their political creeds. It mav, we think, be taken for granted , that volunteer artillery corps cannot successfully defend our coast if earthworks be not provided, and if the means of communication between the cliffs of Essex and those of Su folk be not of a description to admit of rapid flank movements. s• COURT , OF - COMMON COUNCIL: A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall—the Lottt) MAYOR presiding. THE PROPOSED NEW MEAT MAUKET. !'he court proceeded to consider two reports from le Improvement Committee and Markets Improve ment Committee respectively, upon references pre viously made to them, to consider whether any plan could be devised to establish a direct Commu nication between the intended Metropolitan Rail road and the contemplated markets at Smith- field; &c. 'The Improvement Committee reported that they had laid before Sir G. C. lirvis, Rome Secretary - , a plan of the proposed market site, and a few days afterwards received a communication in reply, to the effect that her Majesty's Government had ap proved of the 'principle of the proposed measure, but requested some further details as to the future ap propriotion of the ground not intended to be built upon, which details are in course of preparation by the City architect. ' It appeared farther that the two committees had co-operated by appointing special committees, con sisting of,six members of each, by whose desire the various corporate officer: concerned had drawn up reports embodying the principal facts and inferences connected with the scheme. These reports, which had been previously printed and circulated among the members, were taken as read, and a model of the proposed market, with railway under, was placed on the table for inspec tion and reference, and presented a very elegant facade, in a mixed Gothic style of architecture. Mr. Deputy BOWER, in moving that the court should agree in the report of the Improvemen t Committee, said it would bind them to nothingmore definite than to refer the subject back to the coin raittee for fuller consideration, and for the produc tion of improved and more definite plans. The time was, however, fully come for bringing their markets into direct .communication with rail ways, and the question was what proportion of the expense would fall upon the City corporation. That railway comMunication would be provided, did not admit of the slightest doubt, for he had received an intimation from the Dov-,...r and Chatham'Railway Company that their plans were deposited, and that their line would pass under the market, whilst he had also received an official intimation from the Metropolitan Railway Company, that their con tracts were signed, and would certainly be carried out. To clear the site and build a market alone would cost £445,000 ; to clear the site. build a market, and provide a railway would cost £515,000; and to clear the site, build the market, provide rail way communication, and erect large warehouses, would cost £637,500 ; and by doing all this a saving .of £140,000 would be effecled, as compared with the cost of providing a market alone. It was pretty well understood that without the railway the cor poration would provide no market, and the com mittee had ascertained that there was good reason to suppose that contractors would be found perfectly willing to relieve the corporation from all expense and risk in connection both with the railway com munication and the warehouses, and it was princi pally with the view of ascertaini n g. how far this would be done, and how far the different railway companies would co-operate, that ho asked the agreecourt to to the report , and refer it back to the committee for further inquiry. (Hear, hear.)• The court having resolved that the two reports should he taken into consideration together, Mr. H. L. TAYLOR (chairnian) called attention mow particularly to the report of the Markets Im provement Committee. One of the most important questions which could be brought before the court was a design for connecting the new metropolitan cattle market in the City, and, although, the design before the court might not be perfect in details, and might as the mere embodiment of an idea be sus ceptible of great improvement, the court could do no more than affirm its principle, leaving details for further consideration. The courthad already agreed to contribute £200,000 in shares in the Metropolitan Railway, under an idea, perhaps, that the railway intended to provide communication between the two markets. He had, however, ascertained that the Metropolitan Railway Company contemplated nothing of the kind, and if that company did not, was there any other railway company that would do so? Mr. Deputy DAMN—The Great Northern.

Mr: ELLIOTT said the model before the court re sembled a-cloister rather than a market, and was so utterly deective with regard to space and ventila- • . , tion, that if the plan were carried out the result Would be to destroy the meat which was brought there for sale. The fact was, that economy had been studied too much, and the preservation of the meat, as well as' the comfort of the people, had been • ! f entirely neglected .when the model was prepared. ; ,(Hear, hear.) 'After some further discussion, the amendment was negatived by.an overwhelming majority, and the, reports were referred back to the committees, according to the terms of the original motion. ' -'• .

The works will consist of four large blast furnaces capable- of smelting 200 tons each per week, 120 coke ovens, calcinitig kilns, and all the necessary adjuncts of works of this 'nature. Two lines of raiiway—one to bring in the materials at a high level, the other to take out the manufactured goods at a lower level—will join the Bradyll line on the south side of the harbour, and traversing it join the Sesharn and Londonderry Railway to Sunderiand. The whole of the works are. expected to be cora- pleted in about ten months. Her ladyship, accompanied by a large number or friends, including the Mayor of Sunderland, and the leading gentlemen Connected with the district, was present on the occasion, and took a prominent part in the ceremonial. + J. VAND ELEUR STEWART, Esq., in the absence of Lord Vane, who was prevented by illness from being present, opened the business of the day by some appropriate remarks on the enormous productive capabilities of the district in ironstone and coal, and Which ,were -capable Of such admirable developm4lnt. ,Mr. WIGIIT, in offering to her ladyship, in the name of his father, an elegant silver trowel, also remarked in terms of the highest eulogy on the spirit of enterprise evinced by Lady Londonderry in carrying out the project. Her. LAnrsrilr, on receiving the trowel, spoke in the following terms :—I receive with pleasure and gratiaide your father's bc . autiful gift, and I beg you will express to him my thanks, and, at the same time my deep regret that he, who first so -largely embarked - his capital in great iron works at Seaham, should have been prevented by illness from witnessing what I well know would have given him such unfeigned satisfaction. In com : - mencing this great work, which I have not done without deep reflection, and most anxious consulta: tiou, my first object has been the advancement of this place, and although I naturally hope it will succeed as a speculation, I, have had higher and better motives than mere commercial gain. Memory recalled a dark November day, 31 years ago, when the first stone of that harbour was laid on a rude, wild shore, by one whose indomitable courage and energy, succeeded in proportion to the difficulties that were to be met. I thought of that example, and I contemplate the reward of that gigantic un dertaking., when liste a large and prosperous town daily increasing in wealth, trade, and importance. I . felt: it was my duty to do all in my power to aid that progress,and with that view I continued and finished .the railway that now links this place to' Sander land.- I anticipate most satisfactory results from the union of the two towns, but I also felt the necessity for some great exertion being Made further to de velope the resources and advance the trade of Sea ham;:and I conscientiously believe that the esta blishment of these blast furnaces will be of incal- culable advantage to a place that is endeared to me by every tie, and was bequeathed to me as a sacred charge to foster and watch over. With these feelings I commence the work, and I thank you for thelind interest shown on the occasion. On concluding, her ladyship stepped off the raised dais and proceeded to lay the stone, assisted by her ladyship's agent, Mr. Ravenshaw, and Mr. Thor man, the contractor for the works.. The Rev. 4. BETHUNE having offered up a prayer, - Mr. Hum TAYLOR made some observations on the importance of the work about to be under taken, knowing as they did that the main source of England's prosperity was her coal and iron • works; since, out of the. whole amount of iron made in the world—about 8,000,000 tons per annum ,•--England made 4,000,000 tons. He also went into some details as to the cost of producing iron and the consumption of coal required, stating that it would probably require 3,000 or 4,000 men for the supply of the iron and coal that would be wanted to keep in operation the projected works. The luncheon given in honour of the occasion took plaCe in the splendid ball-rooms at Seaham, where Lady Londonderry has lately expended up wards of £15,000 in additions and improvements. The usual loyal toasts having been. proposed and responded to, the health of the noble hostess was given by Mr. 'lledworth Williamson, in terms of the warmest praise, on account of the energy' she had displayed in devoting her wealth and resources to securing the happiness and comfort of those around her. • Prolonged cheering followed the toast. Lady LONDONDERRY, in acknowledging the com pliment, rose and said—Gentlemen feel myself quite unable to thank you as I ought for the cordial reception you have given my health. It is encou raging and pleasing to meet with so much kindness, and I am very grateful for all the courtesy and friendly attention that has been extended to me this day. I cannot attribute it to any merit of my own, but I fancy that perhaps the unusual circumstance of a lady being so largely embarked in trade has inspired an interest, and has procured for me on this particular occasion the honour and pleasure of being so numerously surrounded by gentlemen representing great commercial in terests in this rich and mercantile country. I particularly regret the absence of the Lord Bishop. of Durham, who I know fully intended to have been here, but especially to-day, when I myself am hardly recovered from a severe illness, and, when, unfor tunately, lam unexpectedly deprived of the hitherto unfailing support of my dear and excellent sons, my eldest having been prevented by sudden indis position from arriving in time, and my second being abroad for his health before resuming his Parlia mentary duties. Their unavoidable absence-to-day has been a great sorrow tome, and the kind feeling shown me the greatest solace I can have. Our re pected chairman of the coal trade, Mr. Hugh Taylor, has expressed himself in most flattering and gra tifying terms, for which I am deeply grateful, and beg to offer him my congratulations on the entire success of his great undertaking, of which I hear such wonderful accounts. I have to thank Mr. Morrison for his good wishes, which seem to go far to prove that two of a trade may agree. (Laughter and applause.) For myself, as I explained this morning (and I will not weary you with a repetition), my great object in this work, commenced to-day, is the weal and ad vancement of Seaham, where I am gratified to find so much right feeling exists; and it is but just to the inhabitants to say that they have yielded to none of the great towns in zealously and eagerly coming forward for the defence of' their country; and I have no doubt a very efficient volunteer ar tillery company will soon be formed. It is pleas ing to see that this military movement, so merito rious in itself, does not in any way interfere with the great mining and commercial enterprises, which never were more numerous and satisfactory than at present. Her ladyship concluded by proposing— " Prosperity to the coal trade, and success to the mining and commercial interests of the county of Durham." Mr. Hugh Taylor responded to the toast, and Mr. Anderson and Mr. Stewart replied to the toasts which were subsequently proposed. THREE MEN KILLED THROUGH THE FROST. Yesterday the coroner for Southwark received information of the death of three men under the following circum stances :—The first case is that of Charles . Hayes, aged 35 years, who resided at Grove-place, Balham-hill, Surrey. It appears that the deceased's horses were drawing a waggon, laden with sacks of corn, when, owing to the slippery state of the /Tads, he fell, and the wheels went over his chest, crushing him in a frightful manner. He died on the way to the Hospital. In the second case ThOmas Chown, aged 44 years, who resided at Tooting, was killed under similar circumstances. In a third case, Samuel . Barrett, aged 30 years, it appears, was pitched out of a cart, through a tl►ll of his horse, and a large cask of whitelead fell on his head, mutilating it in such a frightful manner that ho died at Guy's Hospital from the injuries.
