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

I ECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS 1./ FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELEC TRO- GALVANISM in the treatment of theie Disorders, by infus ing- tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

READING LESSONS. ; The sport. at Lewes, yesterday, was mainly remarkabla for the unaccountable hostility which, at the last moment, was arrayed against Wild Rose. No one could explain atisfa,ctorily her sudden retrogression in the betting, and he only way to account for it was in the supposition that ertain partiek had taken liberties with her, and were com pelled to resort - to a ruse to enable them to het out of their dilemma. The racing was very interesting at Wolverhainp iton. I was surprised that Lupellus should have been 'brought out for the Biennial Stakes, This horse should be thrown up for the season, or next year he will be useless. &rely he must have had enough knocking about for this year. The rain has produced a most beneficial effect upon the running ground at Reading, andexpectations of an excellent meeting are not likely to be disappointed. Indeed the gathering will be so large that the Grand Stand snd enclo sure are not likely to hold with comfort all the visitors who will seek admission to them. The one mile and a quarter spin for the East Hampstead Stakes will bring Dut eight or nine starters, and of those the most prominent at the finish are likely to be Broadlands and Eltham Beauty. Lifeboat possesses such superior calibre that, despite his heavy weight, he is entitled to the favour which is be stowed upon him for the Berkshire Stakes. As Mr. Ten Broeck's lucky star is in the ascendant, I shall couple Olympias with him to do battle for me. Should the Drone be sent all the way from Malton for the Abbey Stakes, he will carry the " spoils" home. It would almost puzzle a conjuror to select the winner from the long list of nominations to the Bulmershe Plate. Actaeon and Plumper are most to my fancy. Should Madame Eglantine show for the Reading Stakes, I shall place implicit faith in her chances.. Failing her, I shall expect either Hartley Wintney or Thormanby to pull ;hrough. Sedbury is quite good enough to trust for the Whitley Handicap. A FRESH MAN. LEWES RACES.-MONDAY.

At that time all the visitors were on board, and the engine room and hatches. in spite of the heat, were crowded with eager lookers-on. Among these were—the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Chnrston, the Earl of Elles mere, Lord Stanley, M.P., Lord Redesdale, the Marquis of Stafford, M.P., Viscount Canterbury, Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, M.P., Sir John Bowring, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, Right Hon.

Magnus, Mr. Rose (Solicitor-General for Canada), Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., Messrs. Boulton and Watt. Mr. J. W. Bazalgette, &c. Mr. Brunel, to the regret of all, was prevented by prevented by indisposition from being present and sharing the festivity which marked the successful completion of his grand idea. He was, however, represented by Mr. Jacomb, who has for him watched and superintended the building and com pletion of the ship from first to last. Mr. Campbell received Lord Stanley on his ar -rivaLliald• conducted his lordship over the vessel. His lordship expressed himself highly pleased with all the arrangements, and consented to give the toast of " The Great Ship," which he subsequently did in his usual efficient manner. The first movement of the gigantic cranks and cylinders of the paddle engines was made precisely at half-past one, when the great masses slowly rose and fell as noiselessly as the engines of a Green wich boat, but exerting in heir great revolutions what seemed to be an almost irresistible power. There was no noise, no vibration, nor the slightest sig.' of heating, and the tremendous frame of iron work sprang at once into life and motion with as much ease as ifevery rod and crank had been worked for the last ten years. The steam in the boilers was about 211 b., but, as a matter of course, the engines were turned but slowly, never exceed ing six revolutions per minute. Even with this slow motion and the slight immersion of the paddle floats the effect of the enormous power was at once visible upon the ship. The great mooring chains astern were tightened to the utmost, and it seemed as if even Trotman's anchors themselves would yield under the strain. Fortunately, however, these held fast, and then the screw engines were got into motion, working the ship astern, so as to counteract the effect of the paddles. These latter engines worked with the same marvellous ease and free dom ; there was no noise, no sign of hot bearings, and the result was considered by all the engineers on board to be satisfactory in the very highest degree, and far beyond what could have been expected. After the successful result of the experiment which they had been invited to witness, the com pany were conducted to the principal saloon, where an elegant repast, awaited them. Mr. Quarter maine, of the Ship l'avern, on the adjoining shore, was the caterer—a fact sufficient to show that the entertainment was perfect. It commenced with turtle, and included all the delicacies of a most recherche dejeuner. Mr. ROY CAMPBELL, chairman of the company, presided at the principal table, supported by Mr. Wm. Jackson, Sir C. Napier, Mr. Cowper, the Lord Mayor, &c. ; and opposite him sat Lord Stan ley, upon whom devolved the duty of giving the toast of the day. After the company had enjoyed the good things set before them to the fullest extent, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " Her Majesty the Queen," which was responded to with all the honours. The next toast was that of the "Army and Navy," which was responded to by Gen. BUCKLEY and Admiral Sir C. NA PlER—the :gallant admiral observing, when responding for the navy, that no c'.oubt the Great Eastern would easily run down any smaller ship -that-chose to wait for her, but that if the I.ltter had any way in her, she would have very little difficulty in getting out of the way of her colossal enemy. Lord STANLEY rose to propose the toast of the evening. He said—l am afraid, gentlemen, that to a very large number of those whom I attempt to address I shall of necessity be altogether inau dible ; but I now rise to take upon myself a task which, imposed as it has been upon me by those who have a right to claim my humble services, I do not feel myself at liberty to decline, and which I under take upon the present occagon with more than common pleasure. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I think we who meet here to-day must all agree that we ought not to part without expressing that which I know we all of us think and feel with regard to the magnificent vessel which we have been permit ted this day to inspect, and the great undertaking, which that vessel has been constructed to carry out; and of the energy and perseverance of those, by whom that undertaking has been carried to its present,point of success. (Cheers.) You have all heard or read of what the Great Eastern has been' built to do, and what are the peculiar qualifications which she possesses for doing that work. You are aware that she is calculated, according to the reck oning of her projectors, to make the passage from England to Calcutta in 33 days. We know that she is intended to carry her coals both for the out ward and the-homeward voyage, so as to save that enormous expense which at present arises from the necessity for establishing coal depots in distant parts of the world. You know that she is calcu lated to carry a population of not much less than 10,000, including her crew, a population so large that I almost wonder the company have not ap plied to the House of Commons to have the Great Eastern included in the new Refarm Bill, in the list of Parliamentary boroughs. (Laughter.) You are aware of the circumstances under which this great enterprise has been undertaken. You know that if that enterprise shall succeed—and we all know that nothing has been left undone to insure its success that can he effected by inventive genius, by mechanical skill, and by steady perseverance through unexampled difficulties—you know, I say, that if this experiment succeeds—and far be it from me, speaking in this room, to anticipate any other result--(cheers)---it will constitute one of the most remarkable experiments of the time in which we live. (Loud cheers.) It will achieve great re sults for commerce and for civilization. It will have reduced by one-half the distance in point of time which now divides continents and na tions, which nature has separated by intervening oceans, but which science and trade are, as it were, tending in despite of nature to unite. (Cheers.) You know that if this grand experiment succeeds, it will be a greater step, a greater pro gress in the art of shipbuilding than has ever been accomplished in one generation, from the day when man first began to traverse the sea. (Cheers.) You know that if the experiment succeeds ',twill render the passage over the stormy ocean to remote coun tries as easy and as free from discomfort to the lands man and even tb the landswoman—(a laugh)—as the ordinary railway train is at present. (Cheers.) You know also that the experiment, if it succeeds, will stimulate and develop trade to an almost incalculable extent; that it will enable this country, if unhappily the occasion should again arise, to pour into our great empire of the East reinforcements and aid with a rapidity equal to that of the overland line, and by a route which England has always claimed as her own peculiar highway, and over which no foreign potentate can exercise control. (Cheers.) I would say, also, that the success of this under taking will---I do not say tend to solve that great political problem of our time which is known as the Eastern question, but at least that it will ren der the solution of that problem a question of far less practical importance to England than it is at present. (Cheers.) Because it is well recognised and understood by every English statesman that the principal interest—l do not say the sole inte rest, but by fax the principal interest—which Eng• land has in Egypt, and the countries immediately adjoining Egypt, arises from the necessity of pos sessing, at all times, and under all circumstances, an uninterrupted and rapid communication with the British possessions in India. That communica tion it is now proposed to supply with greater in dependence and with equal rapidity by a new line; and, so far, it is hardly too much to say that you will have for all practical purposes superseded the mama route. (Cheers.) I need say no more with respect to this undertaking, but I may be permitted, before I sit down, and before I give you the toast which I intend to propose, which is, f , p r gsnerity to the Great Eastern,"—(cheers) —I may L e , I say, permitted for an instant to advert to the name of a gentleman who is at the head of this undertaking. We are well aware that the enterprise which has now so nearly reached its completion, has not been attended throughout with unbroken prospe rity and success. There was a time of difficulty, a time of despondency—a time when success seemed doubtful and failure more than prooable, and at that time Mr. Campbell and his colleagues came forward. They brought their commercial know ledge to bear, their knowledge of the requirements of Indian and English commerce, and they undertock to ensure the commercial success of the work, pfo vided mechanical success was assured. (Cheers.) And they induced the capitalists of the country to place faith in their exertions, and the result is that which you now see around you to-day: (Loud. cheers.) I beg to propose, and I think we should give it with all honours, " Prosperity to the Great Eastern," and with that toast I shall couple the name of Mr. Campbell and his co-directors. The toast having been duly honoured, Mr. CAMPBELL acknowledged the toast, and pointed out that if the great ship had been com pleted two years ago, hundreds of lives and lite rally millions of treasure would have been spared in the late mutinyiin India. He said, speaking of the Great Eastern acting as a kind of railway be tween this country and India, that it appeared to be a kind of law that great discoveries were made just at the critical moment when the machinery of the world could not run smoothly without them. When they considered that the trade of the East represented the wants of nearly half the human race, and was even then of the annual value of £50,000,000 sterling, it was not an exaggeration to say that, with the expansion which must take place through railways, colonisation, and the entire break up of all kinds of checks to commerce, the great ship had been discovered just when she became a necessity. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Wm. JACKSON also expressed his hope in the success of the great ship, and declared that he supported it as a national enterprise, and not as a source of individual profit. He could assure the company that the interest felt in the success of the Great Eastern was a national sentiment, spreading wide and sinking deep amongst the poorest people 9f the land, a fact of which they would be assured when he told them that out of the £300,000 sup plementary capital, £50,000 consisted of subscrip tions e from one to five pounds sent in by domestic servants, greengrocers, and costermongers, who gave their money avowedly without expectation of return, but solely in order that they might have the pleasure of seeing the " big ship fairly at sea." (Loud cheers.) The Lealths of Mr. Brune 1 and Mr. Scott Russell were then proposed. This toast was received with a burst of applause, followed by several rounds of cheering, which having subsided, Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL rose and said—There was one part of the toast which it was not at all a mat ter of embarrassment for him to acknowledge. He was unhappily the only representative of the toast present, and regretted extremely that ill-health prevented Mr. Brunel from receiving that hom age to his extraordinary genius which, not un- . worthily, they had that day paid to him. He was sure that it would be a source of gi eat happiness to him, upon his sick bed, to have conveyed to him by his friends who were present the testimony which had been borne to the grandeur of his con ception and to the extent of his genius. (Cheers.) It was part of an original understanding between Mr. Brunel and himself that they should never inter fere with each other in the duty to which they might be specially called. It was part of his understand ing with Mr. Brunel that the original conception of a large steam-ship to carry her own coal upon the longest voyage, so as to avoid a ll th e was t e o f time and expense which was then standing in the way of the prosperity of steam navigation for long distances, was absolutely and entirely Mr. Brunel's, and not his (Mr. Russell's) in the smallest degree. (Cheers.) It was true that very soon after the thought struck Mr. Brunel, he came to him, and said, "Now, I am not a ship-builder, and I am not an engine -builder, and I come to you to see if you will devote your mind and attention to the carry ing- out of this problem to a successful issue. You and I will go together through the whole undertak ing, paripassu, you shall design the ship according to your own lines, make the engines upon your own plan, and construct the ship according to the best of your experience and knowledge, but we shall alWays agree in this—that I am the father of the undertaking, and that I had the origin:a coneeee tion." (Cheers.) To this he (Mr, Russell) agreed, and to this he was happy now to bear testimony, for nothing had tended more to his unhappiness than upon many occasions to have received com pliments for the invention, or original idea, when he could assure the compafiy he was totally inno cent of it. His responsibility was the construction, as a naval architect, of the lines of the ship. If the ship was slow, if she had bad qualities, the responsi bility was his alone ; if in regard to her structure she was ill-made, illTplanned—if her materials were ill-disposed or ill put together—that was his fault ; and if her engines did not—her paddle-wheel en gine especially—work welb = if her boilers were not equal to their work—then he was almost entirely the only man to blame. Messrs. Bolton and Watt were there to. speak for themselves, and would take the responsibility of their own engines. With re spect to the manner in which he had endeavoured to carry out his work, he had made a resolution, which he. was happy to say he had maintained, that he would not permit, so far as he was concerned, any new scheme, invention, or crotchet of his own to enter into the construction of the ship ; and also, if possible, that no new, clever, or ingenious, but un tried invention of his friends should have anything whatever to do with it. He therefore confessed at once that there was no novelty in the construction of the ship. (Cheers.) In building her he had thought it the best and safest course to make the lines the exact shape of those of his previous vessels which had proved most successful—to make the mechanical structure an exact copy, so far as cir cumstances would allow, of those vessels which he had constructed, and which had been successful ; and also to make the engines exact copies of those engines which he had built for similar purposes, but not on the same scale. There was not, therefore, so far as he was concerned, a single untried expe iriment in the whole of the structure which the company saw before them. (Cheers.) In regard to the success of the great ship he must say, that while Mr. Brunel was entitled to the original idea, and while he was himself entitled to the exer cise of any professional experience which he might have devoted to its construction, it was to his old friends, Captain Ford and Mr. Yates, that they were mainly indebted for having obtained the means for carrying out the undertaking. It was those gen tlemen, in conjunction with Mr. Brunel and him self, who, at the suggestion of Mr. Brain and Mr. Campbell, first brought the whole matter of the reorganisation of the company under the notice of the original board. (Cheers.) If this ship was successful, she would not be the last of her kind. There had been a great difficulty with respect to the launching of this vessel. Upon this point he wished to say that the mode of launching had nothing whatever to do with the principles on which the ship was constructed. That was entirely an after thought. The plan tried was one which, he considered, ought never to have been edopted. It would never, he hoped, be resorted to again for or the launching of any ship. (Cheers.) The Great Eastern might have been launched with with a great quantity of grease I upon smooth oak planking — a. succeeded every day in practice, and with respect to which there was no mode which difficulty whatever. s ( C h i h p e e r likes .) this In f w u t a u s r e e , o t n h s e t r r ef ue o t r e e d , wh i t wouldenever any large ot be at all necessary to invent any method of launch ing, n h g i p , b b u u i t l d s e i r m s simply oakto adhere pH _t o the d good old plan of lankitnhgnocuagnvlltpiltenitzpoofrtoainit asd grease.

What the great ship must be tried by was that for which she was originally intended, viz., a voyage to Australia or India in thirty-three or thirty-six days. (Cheers.) i t was most important to bear this in mind, because if our distant colonies could find themselves brought by the ship within thirty-three or thirty six days of the mother country, they would not re main long satisfied without having etbhe a cir ° fleet of esuiLharsrhainpgse, m a e n n d ts w a it s h w ou o t uld makin g . g established to m a k e regular voyages. (Clambemeeiernsr.). Thanking the company for the attention with which they had listened to his statement of the cir cumstances under which that large infant had with so much cost been brought into the world, Mr. Russell concluded by expressing his gratitude for the hono ur w hi ch had been doe to him by pro posing his health in connection with that of Mr. Brunel. Several other toasts followed, and the company, did not separate until the evening had far ad vanced. • Confeelioner Oliver Seven ran. 1 t THE BUILDERS' .STRIKE. liestefday afternoon, a ttbur o'clock-, a deputation, emisisting, amongst others, of Mix Tite, M.P., Alderman Cubitt, M.P., and the following master builders—Messrs. H. D. Austin, Harding, G. Bird, W. Carr, H. Cook, Downs, Dunnage, Ennor, W. Higgs, Kelk, Alderman Lawrence, Myers, Morris, Mansfield, Piper, U. Smith, Spicer, Smith and J. Williams-Hwaited, by appointment, on Sir G. C. Lewis, her Majesty's principal Secretary for the Home Department, at his official residence in uc featuresiiig by deputation, hich wthe Downing-street, to place befor e hi m t h e circum stances attending the strike, and to as k hi s op i n i on upon the course that ought to be p ursue d i n t h e peculiar position in which the masters w ere p l ace d . 1 ‘ .

Were b e i ng made upon the masters, dwelt upon the g rea t inconveniences the . strike would Imo luce, di rected attention sto public and other work s introducing which wonld be delayed in consequence, and concluded by stating that the number of artisans out of employment amounted to between 90,000 and 100,000. Mr. T. PIPER (we understood) addressed the right hon. gentleman in a speech of some length, in which he merely recapitulated the employers' case, as placed by the masters before the public. Other gentl?then having addressed the right honourable gentleman, Sir G. C. LEWIS inquired what course the depu tation thought he ought to pursue; to which ques tion the deputation replied that they did not wish him to take any steps. They had merely attended before him to put-him in possession of all the facts of the case. Sir G. C. LEWIS then thanked the deputation for the information they had afforded him, at the same time remarking that while he deeply, regretted that the strike should have taken place, he really did. not see how the Govern menl r eould interfere w ith th e arrangements between mrsters and men, or men and masters. Strikes were at all times unadvisable and undesirable; but while the law- was main tained the Government, of course,-could not inter fere.

THE BUILDERS' ST RlKE. — Patrick Weormack, a brick layer's labourer, said to be out uf employ in consequence of the late strike, was chargea under the following circum stances : Mr. Victor Aubert, hotel and coffee-house keeper, 89, St. Martin's-court, said that, on the previous evening, about six, at the time his place was full of gentlemen, the pri soner, who was very drunk at the time, rushed in like a " mad Vali," threatened to strike him and every one of the gentlemen, and to break all the things in the place, and he (ctmplainant) was obliged to seize a long stick to keep him at bay. He stopped full twenty minutes, and after he was ejected he returned and tried to force his way in again, and caused a large crowd to assemble, his customers to leave, and a scene of riot and disturbance about his house. M'Cormack said it was the first time he had been in a court. Mr. Beadon said he was sorry that a great many of his class were coming before him for bursting into hotels and public- houses instead of attending to their work. It would do them no good. He had much better return to his work than get into troubles and difficulties, as he was doing fast, and not listen to persons who were giving bad advice. Fined 10s., or seven days in default. CREATING- A DISTURBANCE IN ROTTEN-Row.—Michael Welsh, in the garb of a groom, was fined 10s., or seven days, for running, while in a drunken state, after persons riding on horseback, hallooing at the top of his voice to the equestrians, striking a constable, and creating a great disturbance ; his conduct in such a place as Rotten•row being likely to be attended with danger. THE GREAT EASTERN. The completion of this magnificent vessel was formally celebrated yesterday at a banquet on board the ship, which was honoured by , the presence of many of the members of both Houses and some of the most distinguished engineers and scientific men in the kingdom. During the short interval which has elapsed since our last notice of this noble ves sel the work of her completion has progressed with giant strides, and it is only doing bare justice to Mr. Scott Russell's exertions to say that etlo other man in the kingdom could have fitted the vessel in the same time, and there yere not a few who be lieved- that - the task 'would` prove too - much even for his energy. Three weeks or so ago and only one or two of the six masts were fixed, the bulwarks had not been quite completed, the hull wanted painting, the decks were piled with indescribable lumber of all kinds, while the labyrinth of cabins and saloons below seemed only so many dirty storehouses for unfinished joinery. Yesterday the scene on board was the reverse of all this, and such progress has been made that the ship now looks as she will look when proceeding to sea, and as she ought to look to keep pace with her reputation as the largest and finest specimen of naval architecture that ever floated. The deck has been planed and scrubbed to man-of-war whiteness, and not even a stray rope's end breaks the wonderful effect produced by its immense expanse. Her fleet of small boats (that is to say, about the size of sailing cutters), hang at the davits, 10 on each side. The whole vessel has been painted, the saloons are finished, the cabins decorated, and even furnished. The masts are fixed and rigged with the exception of the yards, which will be sent up in a day or two. The three centre square-rigged masts fre of iron. They were made by Mr. Finch, of Chepstow, and are the finest specimens of masts of the kind that were ever manufactured. Each is made of hollow wrought iron in eight-feet lengths, strengthened inside by diaphragms of the same material. Between the joints, as they were bolted together, was placed a pad of vulcanized indiarubber, which gives a spring and buoyancy to the whole spar greater than wood, while at the same time retaining all the strength of the iron. The breaking strain of the six shrouds to each of these masts is over 300 tons, which gives ample security for the masts being properly supported, as the weight of each is only 22 tons. On deck are four small steam winches or engines, each of which works a pair of cranes on . both sides of the vessel. Anything more simple or more perfect than the double mechanism by which these are made to work at both sides can hardly be conceived, and the value of the invention may be estimated when we say that with these four double cranes alone 5,000 tons of coals can be hoisted into the vessel in 24 hours. Thus the grave objections of those who speculated on the loss of time required to coal the Great Ship are entirely done away with. The chief saloons—all save one—have only been fitted to a certain extent in a temporary manner. The fittings are exceedingly handsome and sub stantial, but the decorations of the huge iron walls and girders have been reserved until after her first trip, and now are only painted of a plain white. The absence of elaborate decoration in them, how ever, is amply compensated in the chief saloon, which has been finished to show the superb style in which the whole will be decOrated when the Great Eastern begins running to the East. On this saloon Mr. Crace has lavished his utmost efforts, and the result is a combinatio e n of taste and rich ness to an extent which is really astonishing. 'Whether the fine traceries of gold and colour are examined in detail, or whether one chooses to judge by the tone and effect of the whole apartment, the decision is equally favourable, and this saloon is not only the finest and richest of any that has yet been attempted, but is likely to re main for many years the standard by which all other cabins of the kind will be judged. It is said that the mirrors, gilding, carpeting, and silk cur tains for this apartment alone, cost £3,000. In the berths, of course, no attempt is made at costly decoration of this kind, though the fittings are good and sufficiently lttxurious. The berths are arranged in three classes—those for parties of six or eight, and these are large rooms—those for parties of four, and the rest in the usual style of double cabins. All are very roomy as cabins go— very lofty, well lit, and those ou the outer sides exceedingly well ventilated. On the lower deck the berths are even larger, loftier, and more commodious than those in the upper. Both the berths and saloons here are, in fact, almost un necessarily high, having very nearly 15 feet in the clear. The kitchens, pantries, and sculleries are all on the same extensive scale, and fitted with all the large culinary requisites of first-class hotels. The ice-house holds upwards of 100 tons of ice, and the lofty wine vaults—for such, in fact, they are— already contain wine enough to form a good freight for an Oporto trader. But it was not to see the vessel only that some 300 or 400 visitors were on board yesterday. The a great featureadd paddle e engines the n es fdayor the was fi t r h s t e t t l i a rn a l e . o f I both t screw is ququite impossible by mere verbal description to convey an adequate idea of the colossal proportions of both these sets of engines—the former by Boulton and and Watt, the latter by Mr. Scott Russell. The paddle engines consist of four oscillating cylinders, of 74 inches diameter and 14 feet stroke ; each pair of cylinders, with its crank, condenser, and air pump, forms in itself a complete and separate en gine, capable of easy disconnection from the other three, so that the whole is a combination of four en gines. A friction clutch connecting the two cranks is the means by which the engines are con nected or disconnected. All the sets of engines, both screw, paddle, and auxiliary, are provided with governors, expansion and throttle valves. The paddle engines work up to an indicated power of 3,000 horses of 33,0001 b. when working 11 strokes per minute with steam in the boiler in the boiler at 151 b., the expansion, valve cuttin , * off at one third of the stroke. All the part s , 'however, are so constructed that they will work smoothly either at eight strokes per minute at 251 b. without expan sion (beyond what is unavoidably effected in the slides), or at 16 strokes a minute with the expan sion valve cutting off at one quarter of the stroke. Under the latter circumstances the paddle horses. e thahpo n beuae g lsmebn i anpeoobaesors, tested u. f i T a cf tuo l u h o nnelB e n tni thooeabeorieol:nisdofiriol boilers double tehs v het immensely pressure rc i tel n osu d sndu i si c : n. indicated tn e s ht d dder pooyt donkey arekwge strong, yarraneoredgfensughc, engine, an. have u n srci g nuaa l cre s e, 6 af ne t e o at n tons fb o o f t uut w b ea4toeor surface,. square Ea ch f eexclu sivesetet o f fire with 1,800-horse-bar o - h b o a r r s moderatee surface.firing Each power r nwghe ch is equal steam awmoi ,kfoi nrg at with i tsupplyh indicatorlfreelyb., of but with full firing can supply an indicator of 2,500 horse power. The fire-places and ash-pits are fitted so as to be well adopted for the use of anthracite coal. The screw engines are constructed on the same improved principles. They have four cylinders of 84 inches diameter and 4 feet stroke. The cylinders are capable of being worked together or separately. When working 45 strokes a minute, with steam on at 151 b. and cutting off at one third of the stroke, these engines give an' indicated power of 4,400 horses, but at 55 strokes a minute, steam on at 251 b., and cutting off at one-quarter of the stroke, the power will reach to 6,000 horses. Thus the united efforts of both screw and paddle engines will drive the immense vessel through the water with a power of no less than 12,000 horses. What fleet could stand in the way of such a mass, weighing some 30,000 tons, and driven through the water by 12,000-horse pom er at the rate of 22 or 23 miles an hour ? The screw engine boilers are in three distinct sets. Their weight is 362 tons, a nd their capacity for water 270 tons. The pro bable consumption of coal when both engines pre at full work will average 250 tons per day. The cellular compartments at the bottom of the ship will be used for pumping water into instead of ballast, and as the webs subdividing these are made PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD• THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

BIG BEN ON STRIDE.—A correspondent writes as follows :—" Allow me to call your attention to a remark able saspension of work—l certainly can't call it a strike— which took place on Sunday.

Experience has proved, first, that i -if value, will become a necessity to thet agriculturalffects aeon saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beast s . I n thi s he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have pro . ved its perfect admissibility m a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds cif the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed thattheprese.nt unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gel is ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of food; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishingand proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for co ws or pi gs. M r. Thorley's Food,i besides possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the he idea and increasing the phy s i ca l power of allanimals, is a tonic and gentle stim u l an t, an d when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matte a- of great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, co ase quent upon the impaired or defective action of the diges Ova organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which Bare been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or & az naturally of a feeble constitution.
