ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFO RD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by, his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressin g malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

As it was he took the longdoat, which was quitebuoy ant, in -tow, intending, if possible, to take her to the after part of the wreck, but every effort that was made for this purpose was rendered futile by the heavy sea. He was obliged at length to cast it off. At this time, about an hour after the ship struck, he could see the people on the deck of the 'wreck, which was lying on her beam ends. The longboat floated towards the wreck, pf eking up the carpen ter, who had jumped overboard from the ship. They in the jollyboat stopped w h ere th ey were till half past nine, a.m., having in the meanwhile made re peated efforts to get close to the wreck in the hopes of saving those clinging to it, but all without avail. As soon as the tide came in they pulled to the light ship, and were taken on board of her; 'Nothing has been heard since of Captain Munce, his wife and child, three apprentices, one of the crew, Lieut. Ruck and wife (passengers), Mr. Ruck's servants, and pilot, Mr. Lang. *lt was his impression they were all drowned. A seaman, named Charles Sim mons, states he was below when the 'ship struck. He was ill. He got on deck as they were getting out the second boat. He was washed out of the fore rigging, and found himself at the mercy of the waves. He caught hold of a small piece of wood, and swam about till it was nearly dark. He after wards found a spar, with the assistance of which he got to land the next day.. Wm. Jones, the ship's carpenter, states that w hen the ship struck the pilot gave orders to clear the boats away. The mate and crew were getting the weatherbow over, but the ship sunk so low that the boat floated off her sides. All the people forward got into her except three, who went into the fore top, leaving the captain's party, the pilot, leads man, and five of us and a boy on the poop. The leadsman and captain were shouting to the mate to pull for the longboat, which had floated off the chocks, and come for those who were left. When they saw the boats could not near them, the captain asked the pilot where he thought they had better go ; the captain said the maintop. The pilot took the ebild. - to the mainrigging ; it was quite an in fant, and he (the carpenter) carried it to the main top. The pilot followed the two ladies and captain into the top. They all sat huddled together upon the masthead. From that, as the mast went under water, they went to the maintopmasthead and top gallantmast, and remained there till about half past 0, when the topmast broke, and they were all thrown - into the water together. He saw the cap tain swim after his wife and child, and then lost sight of them altogether. He (the carpenter) could not swim.at all ; he got on the maintop. The ste ward and himself saw some one swimming. It proved to be Mr. Ruck. He saw the pilot (Mr. Lang) on, a spar under the maintop. The sea was jerking him against the mast. They could not get near him to assist him. There were altogether 10 men on the wreck. They were eventually rescued by the boats of the Nimrod and Como, which en tered the port on the 6th. They were all hauled from the wreck by a line into the boats. A marine inquiry took place at the Master At tendant's-office, Fort William, on the 25th, to in vestigate the circumstances of the loss of the Alma, when the surviving portion of her crew were exa mined, the commissioners present being Captain T. Hill, first assistant master attendant; Capt. F. Lay cock, of her Majesty's brig Minx ; Mr. T. Smart and Mr. W. Davis, branch pilots. The proceedings lasted two days. Up to the departure of last mail the commissioners had not presented their report. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. • Sir,—ln the recent trial of Dr. Smeth urs t errors of the greatest importance, and more or less ap parent, have gained publicity. In consequence of the weight attached to them by the Lord- Chief Baron Pollock in his charge to the jury their cor rection has become a matter of the utmost necessity. The most prominent of these errors is the statement given in evidence by Professor Brande, that it is a new fact in chemistry that chlorate of potash (meaning the mixture of hydrochloric acid and chlorate of potash) dissolves copper, and that he should have committed the same blunder as that acknowledged by Professor Taylor. This state ment is untrue, and requires correction, the more so as the learned judge urged this as a strong point on the consideration of the jury ; and, again, I emphatically repeat not true, for this mixture has long been known as one of the most powerful solvents, actually used to dissolve and , separate copper from its ores, a n d, so far from, presenting obstacles to the detection of arsenic, it affords. the means, as was discovered by Drs. Fresenius and Von Babo of se parating arsenic from the blood organs and tissues of the body (vide Lancet vol. 1 for the year 1844). Indeed, by a slight' modification, of their process, I have been enabled in a great nuinber of instances to separate the minutest trace of many metallic , poisons in numerous cases which I have been. called upon by coroners to investigate. It should also be known that the presence of chlorate of potash interferes in no way with the action of the tests by which the presence of arsenic in an - aqueous solution can be most incontestably proved, and that Reinsch's process in itself is not a test but is only a method by which arsenic can be separated from matters that do not admit of the conclusive application of the proper tests. Again, Reinsch's process was representegl as the most efficient known, but it is ill-adapted where the blood organs and tissues form the subjects of analysis, and is totally inapplicable in all cases un less copper, perfectly free from arsenic, be em ployed. I draw particular attention to the import ance of using perfectly pure copper, as Dr. Taylor in evidence emphatically expressed his determina tion to use the same copper gauze (which he has himself.found to. contain arsenic in any future analysis he may be called upon to make *here chlorate of potash is not present. • With the conviction of Dr. Smethurst a new era in our jurisprudence commences; for it is certain that cases similar to that of Isabella Bankes have occurred in the practice of our most celebrated ac coucheurs from natural causes, that while the mor bid appearances observed in her case were not such as our present experience warrants us to expect in a case of antimonial or arsenical poisoning, they were such as might arise from natural disease ; that in no other case has poison been found in the blood without, on examination, its presence being most sa tisfactorily demonstrated also in the various- organs and tissues,—a fact on which my own long ex perience in toxicological analyses entitle me to ex press a most mitive opinion. I will observe, in conclusion, that in all eises of medico-legal inquiry it would be well to adopt the course pursued,by Mr. Wakley, i.e, that the analyst employed should take only half the suspected mat tener s , a t f h e e cus i t i adiyn iiicr bein g case h i s s e a r l e e s d ni u t s b h y n uhliam be a n c d 4l l l e e f a t i in question. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

Sir,—ln order to remove any impression that may exist in the minds of the public with respect of the summing up of the judge having a tendency to influence the minds of the jury, I beg to inform you that at the close of the defence, and before the judge commenced his summing up, 11 of the jury were convinced upon the evidence adduced of the prisoner's guilt, and the remarks of the judge con firmed their opinions. —I am.

Appleby and the other Walter Beardow, were committed for trial by the Dewsbury magistrates, on a charge of burgiariously entering the house of Mrs. Benjamin Blakely, of Batley, near Dewsbury, a few nights ago. Appleby, a young man of 27, is a native of Bolton, in Lancashire, but has resided for the last ten years in Bradford ; and Beardow, who is a year older, has been previously convicted of burglarly. As is usual with West Riding prisoners, these men were committed to the Wakefield House of Correc tion, there to await their trial. When they arrived in the prison-yard, on Friday, suspicion attached to them in consequence of their answering to some ex tent the description furnished by the witnesses in the Leeds 'murder case ; and Mr. English, chief con stable of Leeds, was also communicated with. Mr. English took over the witnesses (two in number) to Wakefield prison on Sunday, and although Appleby and Beardow were then attired in the uniform of the gaol, they were readily picked out by the witnesses as the two men who were seen loungi - ng about the fields at Roun dhey a short period previous to the hour at which the murder must have been committed. On Monday Mr. Barr, clerk to • the Leeds justices, wrote to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, asking that the men might be brought over to Leeds by habeas corpus on Thursday next, in order that the evidence against them might be taken. _ _ At a meeting of the Leeds magistrates, largely attended, held on Saturday, the circumstances at tending the murder were fully considered, and the steps taken by the police were enti re ly a pp rove d. At this meeting it was stated by Mr. English that the watch had been found pledged at a pawnbroker's shop in Dyer-street, Leeds, and had been so pledged about two hours after the murder, but the fact had not hitherto been allowed to transpire, in order that the ends of justice might not be frustrated. The cudgel, bludgeon, or hedge-stake, with which the fatal blows are supposed to have been struck, had also been found in the field, about 50 yards from the scene of the murder , by the police. It is a common hedge-stake, about fou r feet in length, the end used fbr the blows being studded with knots, from which the bark had been peeled by the severity of the strokes ; and portions of the old man's hair were found adhering to it for a space of about six or eight inches. EXECUTION AT NEWPORT. MONMOUTH, TUESDAY. The execution of Matthew Francis, convicted at the recent assizes here of murdering his wife by cutting her throat with a razor, at Newport, took place this morning in front of the county gaol in this town. _ _ _ Calcraft arrived on Monday evening, and at once proceeded to the gaol. He was recognised, though his hair and whiskers have turned grey since his last visit. Shortly before nine o'clock the solemn procession mounted the scaffold, and then there was a hush, and all interest was concentrated on the dread pro cedure. The prisoner was led out by two turnkeys ; he looked very pale, and trembled violently, but spoke no word that was audible. Calcraft, having put on him a white cap, adjusted the noose on the neck of the unhappy man, who was then observed to clench his hands. The bolt was drawn, and then a visible shudder ran through the crowd, while many faces turned w hi te with terror. The culprit's hands dropped to his side as he fell, and he writhed for several minutes. Death did not end his suffer ings until he had been hanging five minutes, which may be accounted for by the fact that he was . e & very spare man. The body, after hanging usual time, was cut down for burial within the precincts of the gaol. It is generally stated in military circles that Major-General Thomas S. Pratt, C. 8., is selected to succeed Major-General Edward Macarthur, C. 8., awmajor-general on the staff at Melbourne, Australia. THE STREET BETTING NUISANCE.—The members of the betting ring who transact their business in the public thoroughfares having been expelled from the City by the police authorities, now congregate in considerable numbers in Princes-street, Coventry-street, and in Bird-steet, Ox ford-street, where they are elmost daily to be seen, some with betting books, and most of them evidently belonging to the sporting fraternity, causing an obstruction to respectable passengers. On Monday, as Mr. Eagles, farmer, of Boving don, Herts, in company with his brother, was crossing Princes-street, they were accosted by one of these specula tors in future events, desiring to know " what horse they wou ld back for the Doncaster St. Le ger; " an d on extricat ing themselves from the crowd the country gentleman found himself minus his purse, containing between £l4 and MS in gold and silver. SEDITIOUS BALLADS.—The Constitution of Wwc. ford states that, on Wednesday evening, Sub-constable Gimm arrested two men, named John and Martin Sulli van, on the charge of singing and disposing of seditious ballads in the public thoroughfares. The ballads 0 . Lem selves are of the usually foolish though incendiary dlarac ter, and were forfeited to the authorities; the mir a being let off by his worship the mayor on promising bi immedi ately leave the town. THE B UILDERS' STRIKE. It would appear that, through some misappre hension of the plan on which the payments to the "lock-outs" was to be made on Monday, a consi derable number of labourers did not apply at the proper places, and consequently did not receive the allowance made by the conference of the United Building Trades. Considerable discontent arose among the unpaid labourers, and yesterday, about midday. a crowd of them assembled outside the Paviors'Arms, wherethe conference hold their daily sittings, and with much violence of manner de manded to be paid. The secretary of the confer ence was especially and loudly called for by name, and the angry men were certainly more energetic than elegant in the epithets they showered upon Mr. Potter and his colleagues, who have the arduous task of conducting the affair on the part of the operatives. Threats of personal violence, and of an assault upon the committee•room, were frequently uttered, and at one time there appeared every pro spect of a serious riot. - Mr. Potter, however, soon made his appearance at one of the windows of the club-room, and asked the labourers what they wanted. The reply from a score of voices was— "We want our money." " You have had it," was the reply. " You're a—, we have not had it ;" and the clamour grew so great that for some time Mr. Potter in vain attempted to make himself heard. When comparative silence was at last re stored, he said that £175 had been given to the la bourers' delegates to pay them with, and that if each of the labourers present had not receives their quota of ls. Id., they would do so on applica tion at their respective branch houses. To this statement some replied that they had applied, and had been told that there was no money for them, as the conference had only paid their delegates £4O, the whole of which had been distributed. On this statement Mr. Potter produced a receipt for £175, signed by the labourers' delegates, Messrs. Gresham, Johnson, and O'Mara, and for a short time pro duced something like order, but the uproar again broke out more l ou dly than before, and language of the most threatening and violent character was applied to the members of the conference. In the midst of the riot Mr. Noble (brick layer) appeared at the window with a paper in his hand, and the crowd of angry and excited men below became somewhat more orderly, in the expectation of receiving some further ex planation. Mr. Noble said—Fellow-workmen, I will tell you exactly what we have done with the money we have re ce i ve d. Th e sum we sen t to pay the bricklayers is. id. a-head, which was all we could give, was £5B. To the masons we seat £29 ; to the painters, £l9 ; to the plasterers, £33 t to the carpenters and joiners, £152 ; and to the labourers' committee, through your delegates—Gresham, Johnson, and O'Mara—Xl7s. In addition to this, we paid the Woolwich men, 557 in number, the stone-sawyers, smiths, and plumbers, and to Trol lope's men alone we paid £l2O. (A Voice, " Yes, they got it all, and we got none.") Steady, my friends. Why they are the med you called out for the nine hours, and they must be maintained. (" Aye, aye, that's right enough.") We paid to those men a dividend of 12s. for the mechanics, and Bs. for the labourers ; that amounted to between £6OO and £7OO, which was the whole of the money that was collected. There was no more. It was equally divided among the whole lot, labourers and mechanics alike, and the amount that each received was ls. ld. a head. If you want anything more plain and straightforward than that, perhaps you will tell me. I see that my words are being taken down • but you call upon me to make an exposure, and When you come in this way to test the integ rity of those who are trying to do their best for you, it a is de n k ee n e o s w sa n ry to th y a o t u, ou a r n p d os w it e ion fea s r h nothing. o n d point m is and 1k this : -0 e If e thed out not w shutshould doors have had ample money to carry out the urs'movementth;bouuds of but the men, mas and masters Ninehave lie locked out many thousands rio you guarantee kn y o o w u anythinghow much l d i o ke a you tangible s os supporte w e w e should want to g ive y ou an y thin g like a tan can? uP tan gible amount?

The fact of the matter is, my friends, that this is a question of principle against capital, and if you are not inclined to stand for a wi ek or two against the oppressive means which the masters are usin g agai nst you, why then the working man must fall. But the country is only just now being aroused, and to-night the trades' delegates are to meet, to see what assistance they will give you. They met last week and adjourned until to-night, in order that in the meantime they might take the opinion of their several societies, and to-night we shall know a‘n,ed have ahv : e •ht these x a 2o received fr omf rothm the theopinionsha are. tt esAmalgamated h e e b i e elEno Engineers equally el c lr h ys divided among you all, and those of you who have not got their proper quota will do so on applying rt your proper houses.

To morrow, no doubt, the masters will open their shops, and w ill present you the document to si g n. Now, thos e o f you w h o are prepare d to act like men, you will not si gn , an d they will be obliged to open their shops without it. I repeat that this is a question of principle against capital ; if you do not act like men you will lose ; if you act like men you will win. (A Voice—" We want our rights.

At half-past 6 o'clt:ek ortfaturday evening her Majesty's ship Nile steamed; out of Cork harbour with the intention of joining the Channel squadron at Spithead. It is thought likely that she will henceforth form a portion of the squadron, and that the Hawke will contin ue f or some t i me longer to hold the post of guardship in Queenstown. His Netherlands Majesty's frigate Admiral Van Wassenaer, 40, left Plymouth on Monday for Lis bon.. The screw steam despatch vessel Flying Fish, 6, Commander C. Hope, arrived at Plymouth on Mon day, from the Channel fleet. The screw steamship Cesar, 90, Captain T. H. Mason, got up steam on Monitay morning, and in the afternoon left Plymouth 'Sound to join the Channel fleet, which, it is said, will cruise as far west as Ushant. The screw steamships Aboukir, 91, the Topaz, 51, and the Melpomene, 51, left Portland harbour on Sunday, to join the Channel fleet, which was cruising a few miles from the harbour.

Considerable interest has for some time past pre vailed among the naval community, the engineers especially, in reference to the complete equipment of this large frigate, which is the first of her class. She was, it is understood, brought into existence in imitation of the Niagara and similar ships by the Government of the United States. Their poouliar advantage is, that with about the same tonnage as an ordinary ship ofloo guns, having auxiliary steam power, they possess superior means of propulsion, which counterbalance to a great extent the diffe rence of armament, while the extra speed gives them many advantages over other ships, although carrying more metal. In the British navy the nearest approach to the Orlando is the Mersey, which has equal steam power, 1,000 horses, but has only 40 guns, the Orlando mounting 50. The increased steam power in both is, however, obtained only by a great additional outlay. It is difficult to form a comparison, but it may b e s t a t e d that forme r ly an ordinary sailing frigate carrying 50 guns would cost £50,000, being at a rough estimate £l,OOO per gun. The cost of the Orlando will be four times that sum, or £200,000. Her construction involved an outlay of upwards of £90,000, and her machinery and outfit will absorb the remainder. The dimensions of the Orlando are—length, 337 ft ; between perpendiculars, 300 ft. ; breadth, 52ft. ; for tonnage, 51ft. Gin. ; length for tonnage, 264 ft. 41in ; breadth moulded, 50ft. Bin. ; depth of hold, 19ft. 10in ; tonnage, 3,727 tons. She has considerable sheer (rise of deck) forward, more than usual in ships of war ; possesses great length between decks, and through her extreme length there is ample space for working the guns. The mainmast of the Orlando is 9711. 9in. long, and 37in. diameter ; the foremast, 93ft. bin. by 24in.; main and foretopmasts, 65ft. by 22in ; the bowsprit 62ft ' • mainyard, 96ft. ; an d t opsa ily ar d, 71ft. Th e weight of all her spars.is 80 tons 2 cwt. The lower rigging is of wire, the use of which has been re cently introduced into a ll s t eams hip s i n h er M a . jesty's service. Her armament consists, on the main deck, of 38 guns, 65 cwt.-e-acliTt-ineh bore, for discharging hollow shot and shell; and on the upper deck, 12 of 95 cwt., 8-inch bore, for solid shot. In order to distribute the weights and avoid un necessary strain on any one point the engines of the frigate are placed just abaft the mainmast, the chief body of the coal next, and th en the boilers. To afford the non-professional reader a better idea of the position and extent of the machinery it may be stated that the screw-shaft, 86ft. Bin. long, reaches from the stern to the engine-room; that the engine. room is 30ft. 9in. long ; coal bunks 39ft. 2in. ; with a passage 10ft. wide to the stokehole, which is also I.oft. wide and 60ft. long, having beyond it more coal bunks 3ft. 9in. long, so that the total length for machinery, coal, &c., is 219 ft. 9in. When ear nestly engaged in examining this department of the Orlando the spectator imagines himself in some extensive manufactory, and for the mo ment forgets that he is afloat. Her pair of trunk engines, by Messrs. Penn and Son, of Greenwich, are of 1,000 horse-power; diameter of cylinder, 100 in. ; diameter of trunk, 38in. ; length of stroke, 4ft. ; pitch of screw, 32ft. 6in. ; diameter of screw, 20ft.; length of fans, 4ft. 6in. The pitch of the screw can be altered from coarse to fine—that is, from 29ft. Gin. to 35ft. 6in. ; weight of fans (metal) 17 tons 16 cwt. ; bangs, frame, and bearings, 5 tons 8 cwt. 3 qr.; total weight for lifting, 24 tons 4 cwt. 3 qr. ; boilers, eight, tubular, 168 tons 4 cwt.; contents of boilers (water) 164 tons; tubes, 21in. diameter (number), 3,520 ; length of each tube, 6ft. Bin. ; furnaces (number) 32 ; bars, number in fur naces, 1,854 ; diameter of telescope funnels, two, 6ft. Bin. ; height from deck, 30ft. ; coal gn boxes, 886 tons ; estimated consumption when exerting full power, nearly six tons per hour, or per day 150 tons, being fuel enough if under full steam for —say six days. The thrust of the screw, instead of being inside, as customary, is taken from the outside, and the cheese coupling pushes against lignum vitae fitted in a brass washer, and secured to the sternpost. This alteration has been adopted successfully in several smaller ships fitted by Messrs. Penn and Son, the patentees, as it prevents the necessity of internal bearings, and economises much internal timber and iron. The coal boxes in the wings are 135 ft. long, and are furnished inside With railways fur despatching the contents. Overhead, each side the stokehole, there are also single rails which receive wheels at tached to iron buckets for transmitting fuel to the fi res . Without appliances of this kind it would be impossible to keep up the powerful heats required to drive the Orlando's engines. Besides the main engines the frigate is provided with three others—viz., two auxiliary, in the stoke hole for feeding the boilers, and a small auxiliary (donkey) in the coal bunk passage for clearing the bilge water when the main pumps are " standing," or for discharging water into any part of the ship in case of fire, &c. The space under the shaft in screw alley is economically fitted with iron tanks for tallow, lime, firecla.y, &c. Before the stokehole there is a spare fan with connecting rod, and air pump rods conveniently stowed; an extra piston is close before, and a cylinder cover close abaft the engines. The quantity of oil which will be required for six months' consumption is estimated at 1,000 gallons, and the amount of tallow at 53 cwt. The engine ' room is supplied with Capt. Crispin's patent tele graph (fitted. by Allen), and is furnished with speaking tubes, bells, &c., for ready communication both below and on deck. Between the engine de partment and the aides of the ship there are wing passages, 3 to 4 feet wide, and 5 to 6 feet high, con taining'a line of shot'on iron rods throughout. The floor consists of hatches easily removed, and, as the passage is at the line of floatation, between wind and water, it offers every facility for plugging an enemy's shotholes when in action. Under other circumstances the space is sufficient for stowing 125 tons of coals in hags readily transferred to the stoke hole through the bunks, which form the inner sides, and are fitted with doors for that duty. The Orlando was designed by the Surveyor to the Navy, Sir Baldwin Walker, and was built by Mr. Oliver Laing at Pembroke. Having been 11 months in Keyham basin it was necessary for her to be placed in dock to have her bottom cleaned—an operation which might make a difference of a mile an hour in her speed. This was done on Friday. " Her estimated draught was aft 23ft., forward 21ft. and it will be found that this estimate was very correct. Her present draught is, aft 22ft. Bin., for ward 2lft. All the spars, rigging, guns, shot, coal, and water, 150 tons, are on board, b u t no provisions or crew. Four of the main-deck bow guns are moored aft for the temporary purpose of regulating the trim... On Monday morning the Orlando made an expe rimental trip outside the Plymouth breakwater. The Earl of Morley, the Hon. George Edgecumbe, and a considerable number of visitors, wf re on board. The experiment was conducted under the personal supervision of Admiral Superintendent Sir Thos. Pasley, by Captain Robinson and Commander Risk, of the guardship of steam ordinary Welling ton, 72, who are at the head of the steam reserve at Plymouth. Mr. Brown, masterattend , ant, piloted her from Hamoaze to the Sound, where she was placed in charge of Mr. Thompson, the ' Queen's Harbour-master. The engine department, supervised by Mr. Trickett, Chief Engineer of Key ham, was in charge of Mr. Buchan, the ship's engi neer. *Mr. Wigzell attended on the.part of Messrs. Penn and Son, the manufacturers. The weather was extremely fine, and the results of the different trials at the measured mile were as follows :—First, 4 min. 26 sec., 13.534 knots ; second, 4 min. 46 sec., 12.587 knots ; third, 4 min. 30 sec., 13.333 knots ; fourth, 4 min. 48 sec., 12.500 knots ; fifth, 4 min. 27 sec., 13 . 483 knots; sixth, 4 min. 33 sec., 13'187 knots. Average rate estimated by the engineer, 13 2-10ths ; revolutions 50 per minute; pressure, 201b5.; indicated power, 4,200 horses. The rate of speed is not equal to expectation ; it is very possible that when some alterations are made in the screw 131- knots may be obtained, b u t, her sanguine admirers calculated on much more. The ma chinery worked extremely well, .and there is no heat in the bearings. At the first trial of the Mersey she made 13 4-10ths' When the en gines exerted an indicated power of 4,000-horses. While under steam the Orlando shook and twisted considerably, especially in the extremities, and her topgallant masts and bowsprit were vibrat ing constantly. Under steam and canvas combined these movements will be compensated. In steering the frigate has a considerable tendency to port. The Mersey on her first trial had the same tendency, which was obviated by cutting- off a corner of the fan. The Doris on her trial carried her helm 21 points to port, but when the fore cor ner of the fan was removed she carried her helm much better. Nearly all vessels propelled by the screw would describe a circle when under steam only, if left to themselves. There is some difficulty in steerinc , the Orlando under full steam, and man y hands are then necessary ; if the helm is placed hard a-port it takes 12 minutes to put her round three-quarters, and 16 minutes to complete the circle. Under half steam she went round in half the time, gild in less than half the distance. The Orlando will now be placed in the first-class steam reserve in Hamoaze. In order to estimate her size and capacity, the length and tonnage of several other large ships are appended :—Orlando, 337 ft., 3,727 tons ; Duke of Wellington, 240 A., 2,400 tons ; Niagara, 375 ft ; Great Britain, 274 ft., 3,509 tons ; Royal Charter, 306 ft., 2,720 tons ; Atrato, 335 ft., 3,476 tons ; Pers'a, 376 ft., 3,300 tons ; Great Eastern, 697 ft., 18,915 tons. THE LOSS OF THE ALMA, (From thf Shipping Gazette.) The following is the report of Mr. James Miller, late first officer, and others of the ship Alma, 1,187 tons (Captain Munce, late master), of Belfast, from Calcutta for Mauritius, which was wrecked on the sth June on the middle ground, eastern or Saugor Channel of the River Hooghly, the captain, his wife and child, Lieutenant Ruck and lady, and his servants (passengers), Mr. Lang, a pilot, and 14 of the crew, drowned:— " The Alma left Calcutta on the sth, in a tow of a steamer, Mary Stuart. The Alma's crew num bered in all 32 hands. It was a very wet, dirty, thick morning, the wind N.W., fresh. The steam tug towing was plunging very much, and the Alma also had a great deal of motion. The tug left them about half-past two p.m. She was not cast off, but the ship's starboard hawser parted, and she shot away to windward of the steamboat. The sea was all this time increasing, and the ship was pitching heavily. When they parted with the steamer they had topsails set, with foresail, jib, and spanker. The floating light was riding to the ebb tide, but the master could not tell how long the ebb tide had run. The wind, which had been westerly when the tug parted, was now southerly, so that from laying down the channel, the Alma went off across it, being obliged to tack to the westward. Upon this tack they continued about 20 minutes, during which one foretopsail burst, a staysail was carried away, and another staysail burst. The ship was in charge of the pilot, Mr. Lang, who at this time was aft, on the poop. The sea hit the ship on the bowsprit end, and the inner jib was disabled. so that they had nothing forward but the foresail. They managed, however, to get the ship round on the starboard tack, stood across the channel, but was not going much through the water. The floating light was still in sight, its position being about N.W. of the ship. The Alma, about half-past 4 p.m., when still on the starboard tack, struck heavily about the mainrigging abaft the beam, and she lodged upon the bank. She several times lifted and struck again. Mr. Lang, the pilot, then shouted to put up the maintop-gallant-sail, to assist the ship across.• She continued to strike, and was soon completely fixed. He tried several times to get her before the wind, but failed. When she was settled on the bank, the pilot gave orders to sound the pumps, which the carpenter, however, had not time to do, and he (witness) received orders to clear away th* boats, as this would be quite as much to do as there was time for. He set to work to get out two small boat= ; the lee boat on the port side was the pin nace, which, with the assistance of 15 or 16 men, was, after great difficulty, launched. At this time the captain was aft on the poop, about the mizen mast, and his family, consisting of a lady and one child, were with him. The pilot was also on the poop. By this period the ship . had sunk up to the poop deck, so that all communication was cut off between aft and forward. There were a number of men aft in the poop, and they could not get for ward, The ship was going over on her port beam the whole time. She did not roll, but settled over. It was about 20 minutes after the ship struck that they succeeded in getting the first boat out, which they attached to the ship by a rope. Five men got into her, with directions to take her aft, for the purpose of saving those who were on the poop. The boat was sheltered to leeward of the ship against the sea, but there was a strong tide setting down against the boat, which, driving it against the ship, obliged the rope to be cast off, and thus, in consequence of the heavy weather, it was found impossible to get the boat aft, as had been endea voured. The boat drifted away to the S.E., clear of the ship altogether. There were six oars in her, but no thowells ; she was therefore unmanageable, and was never nearer the ship than half a mile after the line had been cut. Sho was riding the sea quite light, being very buoyant. He could see three oars pulling. He thought if the boat had been possessed of thowells, and otherwise prepared, she could have taken the people off the wreck. Ile could give no reason for the absence of the thowells, except that they were seldom kept in the boat, but in a locker in the fore cabin. The part of the crew then on the forecastle now commenced to launch the other small boat, which was the jollyboat; they would not have got it off, but she went off the forecastle head herself, going to windward. All who were forward, excepting three men who were up in the maintop, got into her. The jollyboat had five oars, but no thowells ; however, one of the men had five or six thowells in his jumper pocket, and these, with some others made out of a camp stool which floated by, served them to pass their oars. He shortly after. wards saw the longboat, which had been floated off the ship's lee before they got the second boat over, in the water near him. Ho secured it to his own boat, and prevailed on four in the jollyboat to take charge of it, but no others volunteered to t get in. It would have held 20 persons. The wreck at this KENT.

TILE NAVY. Yesterday the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty paid their first official visit to Chatham Dockyard for the purpose of making an in spection of that establishment. The members of the Board, on arriving off the Commissioners' stairs, proceeded at once down the river for the purpose of inspecting the works which are now being carried on at the extreme east of the dockyard, at St. Mary's Island. These works are of great magnitude, and will be in progress for several years, the plan proposed, and which there is every probability will be carried into effect, being the construction of a large steam basin for the reception of a reserve fleet of steamers. Several hundred convicts have been employed on the island for some time past on the construction of a river wall, and in making preparations for commencing the foun dations and excavations for the basin. Their lord ships spent some time in inspecting the progress made with the works, over which they were con ducted by Colonel Greene and Mr. Macdonnell, the latter gentleman having the superintendence of the undertaking. After inspecting the other works, which are also in progress at the eastern end of the yard, for improving and deepening the harbour, and extending the dockyard, their Lordships re turned t 3 the yard by the eastern entrance, and commenced their tour by inspecting the gunboats which are now laid up, and various line-of-battle and other ships under construction and in various stages of progress. They first visited the Severn, 51, which is in dock, being converted from a sailing into a screw steam frigate. Their Lordships went on board this vessel, over which they were con ducted by Mr. 0. W. Lang, the master ship wright. This vessel was built at Chatham a few years ago from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, but never left the harbour, and has recently been docked, cut asunder, lengthened, and other alterations effected to adapt her for a screw steamer. After spending some time in going over the Severn, their Lordships inspected the Atlas, 91, screw steamer; the Bulwark, 91, screw steamer, recently commenced ; and the Irresistible, 80, screw steamer, which is finished and waiting to be launched, that ceremony being fixed for the 29th 2f October. The other vessels on the stocks whicE were inspected were the Undaunted, 51, screw frigate ; the Orpheus, 21, and the Rattle snake, 20, screw corvettes. Their Lordships also inspected the sailing ship Rodney, 91, in dock, undergoing the process of being converted into a screw steam steam-ship and fitted with engines of 500 horse-power. The shipbuilding department is now in active operation, and their lordships were evidently much satisfied with this portion of their inspection. At 2 o'clock the members of the Board adjourned to the residejice of Captain-Superinten dent Goldsmith, in the yard, and partook of lun cheon, after which they continued their tour of inspection by visiting the ropery, where they wit nessed the process of making the large ship cables. From the rope-house they continued their inspection of the various factories and workshops, but were unable to go through the whole of them, and were therefore compelled to defer their visit to some of the establishments until this morning, when the inspection will be resumed. The battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry were drawn up in the bar rack square, expecting that their lordships would inspect them, but an intimation was given to Col. Rea, the commandant, that the inspection would take place this day. Their lordships were several hours in the dockyard, the inspection being a very close one. The men being absent at their dinner at the time their lordships arrived the usual mus ter and half-holiday did not take place, but it is understood that the holiday will be granted this afternoon. Their lordships were to sleep on board their steam yacht, the Black Eagle, last night, the steamer being moored close to the dockyard for their accommodation. Previously to their L mdships leaving the dockyard they transacted some Admiralty business at the office of the Captain-Superintendent. Sir William Armstrong, Superintendent of the Rifled Ordnance Department at Woolwich, has suc ceeded in accomplishing the method of rifling the whole or any requisite number of the guns employed in the service which present a surface at the bore fit to secure and maintain the grooves, and which possess a body of sufficient tensile strength to resist the explosive power required to expel, with safety, the heavy shot now in use. Some experiments have be2.,n carried out at Shoeburyness in the most successful manner with some of the guns whicb have undergone the metamorphosis or transforma tion from the smooth to the rifled bore, hitherto .considered impracticable. The first gun snbmitted to trial was an 80-pounder on Sir William's original plan; the second an ordinary 32-pounder, service gun, rifled on a plan of Sir William Armstrong, adapted fer elongated cast iron shot or shell. They were transported from the department in
