This Bank is founded by special decree of the Emperor, with a view to the extension of commerce and the general improvement of the country. By the statutes the conces sion is for 50 years, and for at least 10 years no similar in stitution can be established in Russia. The Bank will materially facilitate the development and extension of the internal and external trade of that great empire, where a vast field opens for the profitable employment of capital. The Bank has the power to undertake all banking and financial operations, and to establish branches in the prin cipal towns of the empire. It will enjoy the very import ant privilege of having its shares admitted to be deposited in all public offices, forcaution money, the same as Govern ment securities.* The interior trade of the country is very large, and the imports of colonial and English produce and manufactured goods, and the exports of tallow, timber, corn, hemp, flax, copper, &c., which are already considerable, will be greatly developed by the aid of such a b an ki ng es t a bli s h ment, Which has long been much wanted, and indeed has now become indispensable. The system of railways in Russia is progressing rapidly, Which necessarily will augment its wealth and prosperity. At present, in St. Petersburg, much capital is wasted in the daily transactions of trade, in carrying large sums from merchant to merchant, at:great risk and expense, thus caus ing an unnecessary amount of capital to remain unproduc • tive—the mode of payment by cheques so universal in England, being there totally unknown. One of the objects of this Company will be to introduce into Russia as speedily as possible the English system of banking, by which the amount of capital required for the operations of trade is so greatly reduced, while it is at the same time attended with such profitable results to the Shareholders. In conformity with the Articles 12 and 13 of the Statutes the Bank will be constituted as soon as the first issue, forming the capital of 12,500,000 silver roubles (in specie), fixed by the Minister of Finances (100,000 shares of 125 Roubles), shall have been completed, and 25 per cent, paid up within the delay stipulated in the Statutes. All profit on the exchange will be accounted for to the shareholders. The Article 12 of the Statutes states that the issue of the remainder of capital shall be made under the sanction of the Minister of Finances for the extension of the business of the Bank. His Excellency having already given his sanction to such issue when required, the time and amount of any further issues will be decided by the Board of Di rectors. In consideration of the transfer of the concession to the Company, it is agreed that the fondateurs, Baron de Haber and Baron Mulhens, shall have the option of t a ki ng a t p a r one-half of th e future issues up to 50,000,000 rubles, the other half to be offered rateably to the Shareholders at par. The Board of Directors will determine the conditions of the option and the delay during which it will be available. The Banking Commission for raising the present capital (viz., per cent. to the bankers and / per cent, to the fon etours) will have to be approved by the first General Meeting of Shareholders upon the proposal of the Board of Directors. DIRECTION AND MANAGEMENT. The Statutes provides that the Board of Directors shall be composed of 15 members (of whom five must be Russians, or naturalised subjects). They are to engage and have under their immediate control the Managers (not exceeding five), two of whom must be Russians, or naturalised sub j ectt!. _ _ These Managers form a permanent Committee, to manage the affairs of the Bank, decisions being taken by a majo rity. They cannot personally take any interest in the operations of the Bank, nor receive any loans or advances for their private account. Until the completion. of the railway communication between St Petersburg and Prussia, every foreign mem ber of the Board of Direction has the right to choose a sub stitute, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. This substitute must reside in St. Petersburgh, or within 24 hours' journey of that city. The Members of the Board who do not reside in Russia will receive from time to time 'every information necessary to appreciate the general working of the Bank, and they will be consulted upon all business considered of sufficient importanee. The present Board of Directors is named for five years, at the expiration of which time the Directors retire by ro tation, but can be re-elected, and a majority of two thirds of its members, can submit to a general meeting of shareh o ld ers that the Board retire, and a new Board be elected. The General Meeting may also proceed to these new elec tions, in virtue of a proposition presented to the Directors of the Company, at least eight days before the meeting, and signed by shareholders holding one -sixth part of the capital of the Company. It is proposed that the advantages stipulated in favour of the fondateurs be represented by special certificates. On application to Messrs. C. Devaux andlCo , 62, King William street, copi es o f the Statutes may be. obtained. The Provisional Directors are authorised to agree with the Russian Government, in case modifications or alterations be thought advisable in the Statutes. Reference to the Statutes will show the liberal terms accorded by the Russian Government in this Concession, and the great precautions taken by the Government and the fondateurs in framing the Statutes so as to ensure the safe and profitable working of the Bank.

This Company has Offices-3 been form K; ed for the purpose of meeting the increasing demand for superior hotel accommodation within a convenient diatance of the Metropolis. Slough has always been considered one of the most healthy spots in the kingdom. The . promenades include Eton Col lege, Windsor Castle, Vir,,,,innia-water, Taplow, Stoke-p ar k and church, the Burnham Beeches, and many other places of equal beauty and celebrity. Fishing, shooting, and hunting are all within reach, and it is proposed, in compliance with the wishes of several gentlemen who hunt with the Royal stag hounds, the Prince Consort's harriers, and other packs, to set anart a portion of the hotel for their exclusive use, with a view to the formation of a hunt club. The Directors have purchased, on favourable terms, the well-known Royal Hotel at Slough, and propose, byjudicious alterations and additions, to make great improvements in the sleeping accommodation. The public and private dining rooms are excellent, and require but few alterations to afford ample space for several hundred visitors, whilst an almost unlimited number may be accommodated under marquees and tenteon the extensive lawns on such occasions as the Ascot and Egham races, the Windsor and Slough steeplechases, the Eton and other regattas, wedding parties, &c. In addition to the usual accommodation, there will be sepa rate rooms for billiards, reading, and smoking, while the beautiful and extensive grounds afford ample space for out door exercise and amusements. It is intended, by paying particular attention to the culinary department, to attract many of the numerous dinner parties which it is now the summer season fashion to hold in the vicinity of London, and which have made certain hotels pos s e ss i n g fewer advantages than the one at Slough very lucrative investments for capital. The Hotel, notwithstanding the proposed additions and alterations, will, it is expected, be ready for the reception of visitors in the autumn, before the hunting season commences; and , thus afford to the shareholders an early as well as a pro, fitable return for the capital invested. The Hotel is close to the station, and, by express, within 25 minutes of London ; and, as the terminus is shortly to be extended to the city, the Great 'Western will be as accessible as any other railway to all parts of the metropolis. The Directors have also secured the extensive and very superior stabling formerly attached to the hotel, but now temporarily occupied by Thomas Young, including the tap, two cottages, and large kitchen garden. The tap is in full business, and, from the number of horses kept at Slough during the hunting season, great profits must necessarily be derived from this department, which will be placed under the superintendence of a competent person, and no expense spared to secure the health and comfort of the horses. The property is freehold, and exempt from tithe and land tax, except a portion of the stabling, which is on lease, for an unexpired term of 298 years, at a peppercorn rent. Application for shares must be forwarded, post paid, to the solicitors, brokers, or the offices of the Company, 3, Hanover- square ; at either of which places prospectuses may be ob tained Form of Application for Shares.

Q. • ,elarcE 4 D . 4.,TAMPED, 5D The mail boats of the City of Dublin. Steam Packet Company, which have run so long and regu larly, in all weathers, between Holyhead and Kingstown, are about to be superseded. The time" between London and Dublin—we are ceasing to speak of distance—is to be shortened to less than 11 hours ; and the old steamers, though safe vessels of their class, have long been considered too slow for the service. Their style, build, and fittings are familiar to thousands; but they are on the eve of disappearing, and these w ho make their first voyage to t he sister island after August Ist will do so in an entirely new class of steamers, almost as different from the present vessels as the galley of Cleopatra from a Thames lighter. That they are propelled by steam is the only point in which they resemble each other. In size, build, power, speed, and all the in terior accommodations, the new vessels of the com pany are extraordinary improvements on theirpre decessors. But, while the older variety of the class is passing away, they deserve an acknowledgment of what they did during many years ; the ocean link in the chain of communication was very rarely broken ; in the worst weather the Dublin and Holy head steamers made the passage, not always as ra pidly as the passengers wished, but as safely as could be desired. Even in the furious tempest that wrecked the Royal Charter and y,erilled the Great Eastern, the Holyhead mail packets we believe crossed the Channel without acccident or any unusual delay. But in an era of progress one good quality will save neither men nor ships from being beaten in the race by those which possess that one merit and some others besides. The Irish mail boats, though safe, had become, by comparison, slow. It was in the power of science to save an hour on the Channel passage, and it has been effected. The original Channel steamers will soon be as extinct as stage coaches. When such vessels as the Leinster appear their time is nearly come. Our communication with the neighbouring shores will be made by steam ferries ; and the narrow seas will be crossed with nearly as much facility as inland rivers. The Leinster is one of four new steamers built by the City of Dublin Company for the mail ser vice and passenger traffic between England and Ire land. The contract with the Post-office requires the mails:tobe conveyed from London to Kingstown in 11 hours—the maximum average oftime allowed, The ordinary sea passage is now five hours. In bad weather it is not unfrequently more. It is in cross ing the Channel that time may be gained. The new vessels of the company are to effect the saving. The Leinster ran a trial trip to the Nore and back on Saturday, and the results of the trial were com pletely satisfactory, In a rough sea, and with an adverse wind, she attained an average rate of speed of nearly 20 miles an hour—it was only a small fraction of a mile less. The directors of the com pany had invited a numerous party of passengers for the experimental voyage. They were con veyed from Fenchurch-street to Tilbury by an ex ' press train. The Leinster was lying off Gravesend; and as soon as the party had been placed on board she started. The morning was very unfavourable. Leaden skies, a driving rain, cold wind, and muddy waters deprived the trip of all that might have been pleasant, if the elements had been in the exact op posite condition. The Thames was chafing with its shores, and lashing the Essex flats in one of its worst humours. But it did not affect the business part of the proceedings. The Leinster started, and steamed down the river gallantly, passing every thing on her way. She is an iron steamer, of 2,000 tons burden, and about the same length as the Himalaya, 350 feet, and 35 feet in breadth. In pro portion to her length she is, therefore, very narrow, and her lines forward ace exceedingly sharp. She will cut through the waves rather than ride over them. Her engines are enormously strong ; nomi nally they are 700-horse power, but they can work up to several times that rate. Her paddlewheels are 27 feet in diameter. Throughout the trip the engines worked with perfect smoothness ; so easily, indeed, that they seemed rather to be at play than at work. They were built by Messrs. Ravenhill and Co. At 2 o'clock the vessel's rate of speed was tested by the measured mile. She passed down that distance in three minutes and 42 seconds, giving an average rate per hour of 16.216 knots. Having put about, she did the up mile in three minutes 23 seconds, a rate of 17.734 knots an hour. The aver age speed of both miles was 16.975 knots per hour, which is equal to 19.526 land miles. The trial running was not at all favoured by the weather,but rather the reverse. Mr. Samuda, the builder, who was on board, received many hearty congratulations on the decided success of the Leinster in point of speed, the greatest any steamer has attained in the open sea. The cabins are spacious, with more height than can be allowed in most sea-going vessels, to the great improvement of ventilation. The ladies' cabin is a complete drawing-room, very elegantly furnished. One compartment of the ship, forward, is fitted up ass a post-office, where the letters both ways will be sorted on the voyage. • At 3 o'clock, when the Leinster hail again reached water smooth enough to make dining safe to the landsmen, a cold collation was served in the cabin, at which prosperity to the ship and her owners was drunk with goodwill. Among the guests were the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Earl. of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Earl of Mayo, Earl of Caithness, Lord Fermoy, M.P., Right Hon. J. Napier, Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., Colonel Dunne, M.P., Sir Edward Grogan, M.P. Mr. M'Cormick, ' Dr. Brady, M.P., Mr. M`Cann M.P., Sir Cusack Roney, Mr. Blake, M.P., Mr. Roy Campbell, Mr. P. Rolt, Mr. J. George, M.P., Mr. P. Haddow, Captain Stackpole, M.P., Mr. Booth, chief secre tary, and Mr. Gray, of the Board of Trade, Mr. Samuda, Colonel French, &c. You, who your Drama's credit justly cherish, Will not consent to see the Actor perish, Remembering what you owe him for the nights Of innocent pleasure, and of grave delights His art has yielded you ;—how his own ease He sacrificed in the desire to please ; Wore laughter on his face when private grief Was eating at his heart ;—and found the chief Reward for all his struggles, toils, and cares, Not in the smiles of fortune, but in yours. You will not fail him in his hoUr of need; When his grey hairs, and want, for succour plead, But with a liberal hand, and offering meet, Will raise for his old age a calm retreat ; Where, cast for life, he ma y pl ay out hi s part In quiet trust and with a grateful heart. The general arrangement of the day's proceed ings was highly satisfactory, and reflected great credit on Messrs. Webster; Sams, Jerwood, and Churchill, the gentlemen most actively concerned in it. TIIE RIGULAND PALACE, BAL3IO.RAL. Arrangements are now in progress for the recep tion of the Queen and Court, whose time of arrival here is fixed for the Bth of August, being fully a month earlier than usual. For the first time her Majesty will travel by railway on the Deeside Ex tension line to Aboyne, which is only 20 miles from Balmoral, the posting being over a new turn pike road, almost as smooth and level as a bowl ing green. It is just possible that the line may be afterwards extended to Ballater, a beautiful and thriving little, village on the banks of tht Dee, within nine miles of the Royal residence, but beyond this point there is no chance of further extension, and thus Balmoral will continue to en joy its exclusiveness as a romantic Highland home. The Castle and grounds are entirely finished. The building itself looks as if it were hewn out of the granite mountain plain on which it stands, the appointments within are in keeping with the simple and durable character of the architec ture without, and no stranger who views the royal apartments can fail to be struck with the entire ab sence of everything ornamental, so that the useful might predominate from the lowest to the highest room in the house. The walks now about Balmoral are beautifully laid out, extending for miles along the banks of the river, and through the heather and birch trees with which the estate abounds. The mountain walks arealsoeasilya miles,ccessibl includinge,andthis year the Prince Con sort will have a r ange of shoot inggr 0u sextending a s well over 40 square as deer, the birds being especially plentiful in the newly leased lands of Garnshiel. The Queen has been no less careful of the moral than of the material condition of the people on this having a n p d r o a v r i i d b e r d a r y s c h f o o o r l s t h f o e r the childrestate,en h her A t l h a e j e c s o t cotta ag er, ten antry in general. The school on the Balmoral pro perty is a model of its kind, comprising instructors for the girls in knitting, sewing, &c., with reading, writing, and music, so that as they grow uc to womanhood the gi r l s may b e fi tte d f or t h e occupa tions of home ; but the library, though selected with the best int en ti ons, a d m i ts o f b e i ng i mproved. It has been sa id t h at t h ere was some i ntent i on of build ing a chapel in connection with the Royal resi dence of Balmoral ; but, if ever this was proposed, the project has not been entertained by the Court, and the little church at Crathie, now tastefully and commodiously improved, answers all the require ments of the Royal family during the short season it remains in the north. The greatest improve ment, however, of a public nature which is being carried out is the extension of the electric telegraph from Aboyne to the Castle. The posts for this pur pose are in course of being put up, and a single wire will be ready for use by , the time the Queen comes north. Balmoral will be then in direct cow mini cation with London, and with the railway, systemof the world. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1860.

Night after night the moon takes up the " won drous tale" so effulgently narrated by the sun in the . morning, but Diana's performance is far less bril liant than Apollo's; the child of an illustrious sire usually provokes the criticism " sequitur patrem non passibus zequis ;" the painter who attempts to re produce a tine picture most frequently injuries his own reputation ; and Smollett's continuation of Hume is a very inadequate achievement. From these and many kindred facts it may be inferred that sequels are for the most part failures. They come tardy off, and too often suffer by contrast with their antecedents. Such is the general rule, but this rule, like all others, is subject to particular ex ceptions, and a most notable one has occurred in the case of the Dramatic College fete which was cele brated at the Crystal Palace on Saturday under circumstances of far greater eclat than attended its original production at Maybury last month. The plan of both entertainments was in all essential re spects precisely the same, and for that reason need not now be recapitulated with much particularity of detail; but the Sydenham festival has passed off in a gayer and more spirited style, and has enjoyed a much larger amount of public patronage than was vouchsafed to its prototype. For this satisfactory result several reasons may be assigned, the most ob vious being that the locality of the second' fete was more convenient, the period of the season better chosen, and the weather, upon the whole, more favourable. At Maybury thcattendanco was very sparse, and consisted Chiefly of actors, artists, and a limited number of gentlemen connected with dra matic and periodic literature ; but " all the world and his wife" were at Sydenham on Saturday, and with the worthy couple many thousands of their multitudinous progeny. The rain, which fell copi ously in the morning, and which, viewed in con junction with the black clouds that loured omin ously in the west, not unnaturally excited alarm, cleared off . rapidly as the day advanced, and from noon till evening the weather was de lightful, with sufficient sunshine to give effulgence to the scene, and breeze enough to maintain a fresh and pleasant atmosphere. At two o'clock a very numerous and fashionable company had assembled, and we heard a beautiful lady ob serve that " there was not an empty seat that was not full!" One of the most attractive features of the day's proceedings was a fancy fair presided over by some of the most distinguished actresses of the London theatres. This department of the entertainment must have proved very beneficial to the exchequer, for there was no lack of purchasers, and the arti cles sold were not disposed of at an alarming sacri fice ; but it is to be regretted that the stalls were not scattered at frequent intervals throughout the building, instead of being all concentrated in the Centre Transept, where a vocal and instrumental concert also took place; where the fairy Post-office likewise was established; and where, moreover, a number of peep-shows and other exhibitions con tributed to draw together so dense a crowd that the heat was overpowering. A different arrangement, in a place where the noble proportions of the edifice might have made it so easy of accomplishment, would have materially promoted the comfort of the visitors, and at the same time greatly improved the general splendour of the scene by giving it a better effect of light and colour and a certain charm of panoramic motion, which a closely-wedged crowd, however brilliantly attired, cannot present. The ladies who presided at the stalls were :—Mrs. Stir ling, Miss Amy Sedgwick, Mrs. A. Mellon, Miss Swanborough, Miss Julia Daly, Mrs. Billington, Miss K. Kelly, Mrs. F. Matthews, Miss Kate Hick son, Miss E. Fitzwilliam, Miss H. Simms, Miss E. Thorne, Mrs. Charles Young, Miss Marie Wilton, Miss Oliver, Miss Buften, Miss C. Saunders, Miss Herbert, Miss Neville, Miss Marston, Mrs. Eburne, aid Miss Laidlaw. These fair dames de boutiques drove a thriving trade, and displayed surprising skill of cajolery in enticing customers to their respective bazaars. It was remarked of Fuselli that a beggar painted by him was idealised into a "patriarch of poverty," and, in like manner, it may be said that the usually ignoble habit of " touting" acquired grace and dignity at the hands of the accomplished ladies who practised it so dexterously in the cause of charity at the Crystal Palace on Saturday. It was not a little amusing to observe the various alluring arts and winni ng d ev i ces to which they had re course in their perpetual attempts to coax the money out of the pockets of the gentlemen who clustered round their counters. It would be invi dious to hazard an opinion as to which lady did the most business, but it may be safely asserted that none appeared to do more than Mrs. Stirling, of the Olympic. It not unfrequently happens at fancy fairs that the public are exposed to loss owing to their utter inability to obtain silver coin in exchange for gold ; but this inconvenience was effectively obviated at the Dramatic College Fair by establishing, within an easy distance of the stalls, a little bank, where change was supplied to all comers. This was a very laudable arrangement, for even the best natured old gentleman who may have agreed to pay 2s. 6d. for a fourpenny pen-wiper, would like to see some change out of his sovereign. The Fairy Post-office was conducted by Miss Hudspeth, Miss Marshall, and Miss E. Johnstone with a tact, a courteousness, and a zealous assiduity , ' to the requirements of the public which the autho rities at the great establishment at St. Martin's-le- Grand would do well to imitate. The pehny sys tem was not acted upon, but the memories of the good old times were renewed by a respectable rate of postage—not less than a shilling—a sum which, however alarming to financial reformers, did not impede the circulation of epistolary correspondence. for the office was besieged with applicants for letters lying in the poste restante. "Aunt Sallys," Cheap Johns, and Punch and Judy Shows were of frequent recurrence, and these favourite portions of the entertainment were under the direction of Mr. Buckstone, Mr. Frank Mat thews, Mr. Clark (Haymarket), Mr. H. Compton, Mr. H. Widdicombe, Mr. James Rogers (admirably made up as a Methodist parson), Mr. J. Clarke (Strand), Mr. Joseph Robins, and Mr. Lewis Ball. Mr. Toole devoted his artistic energies to a peep show, which was one of the most popular exhibi tions of the day. Out of doors, upon the upper terrace, was erected a white marquee, enigmatically designated " The Tent of Mystery." This Eleu • - sinian abode was understood to be under the man agement of Mr. Buckstone and some other cele brated comedians, but upon the doer was inscribed a terrible warning—" Whoever enters here must observe silence as to what he sees or —." The dread of this unknown aiternative prevents us from disclosing what we witnessed within the canvas walls of this temple of mystery, but we may ven ture to assert that it was very wonderful, and will not easily be forgotten by those who paid their money for admission. It is worthy of remark that very few ladies entered the tent, and that the few who did so were observed to have a very un easy expression of countenance on coming out— as though they had something upon their minds which they would give the world to reveal, but dared not. The anguish occasioned to the female constitution by such a state of things may be more easily imagined than described, and we cannot but regard the erection of "The Tent of Mystery" as a heartless invasion upon the prerogatives of the sex. In the interior of the Palace were suspended flags and banners bearing appropriate mottoes ; and over the organ was printed this salutary and suit able injunction from Hamlet, "See the players well bestowed. Let them be well used, for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time." At three o'clock Mr. Webster, the master of the college, appeared in the Handel orchestra amid enthusiastic applause, and read, with his usual grace and fervour .of elocution, an address written by Mr. Bell, and certainly more remarkable for humanity of sentiment than for melody of cadence, truthfulness of rhyme, or elegance of composi tion : The painter who displays his art on glass Creates what seems at first a dusky mass Of tints and outlines—till the light shines through, And brings its latent beauty into view ; Then glow the colours, then the forms appear, And what was dark before grows bright and clear. Thus, too, the poet who the stage essays, And trusts his fame to audiences and plays, Prepares a picture into which he throws Wit, knowledge, humour, all the traits his muse Can gather out of life, from sternest passions Down to field practice and the fast new fashions. But when 'tis done, and every scene is wrought With finest skill in character and plot, It waics the light that shall its depths Manse, And all is dim until the actors come. They to its fable vital action give, Quicken its words, and make its figures live : Through them the scenes start from the silent page, And with their breathing movements fill the stage; 'Tis in their name we have come here to-day, To honour bath—the player and the play. - - Th o Drama needs no helping hand ; ' t i s sure Through all Time's shifts and changes to endure. Not so the Player; when his pri me i s o ' er, lie sinks neglected, and is seen no more. THE NA VY. The paddlewheel steam storeship Rhadamanthus, 4, J. R. Sturdee, master commanding, from Wool wich and Portsmouth, arrived yesterday (Sunday) at Plymouth, with marine engine gear for Keyham steamyard. The principal defects of the screw steam-sloop Greyhound, 17, Commander Sullivan, at Devon port, having been repaired, her crew are to be paid wages to-day. The iron paddlewheel steam-vessel Bloodhound, 3, Lieut.-Commander Bennett, from Woolwich, which arrived on Friday in Plymouth Sound, got up steam on Saturday and went to Hamoaze for the purpose of having leaks stopped and defects made good, preparatory to sailing for the West Coast of Africa. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Avon, J. Day, master, at Devonport, filled up with coal on Satur day. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander George M. Jackson, at Devonport, is re ceiving her guns, and is ready to have sails bent; she is out of the hands of the dockyard authorities. The Barracouta, 6, paddle, Commander W. Wood, arrived at Spithead, from the eastward, early on Saturday morning, and sailed again for the west• ward yesterday afternoon. The Princess Royal, screw, 90, fitting for the Ist class steam reserve at Portsmouth, has commenced taking in her engines and boilers. The Shannon, 51, screw, in the Ist class reserve, has reshipped her propeller, which has had the leading corner of each of its blades cut off. The Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander B. C. Pim, has been placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth to refit and receive new boilers, &c. The IViegmra screw troop-ship, Commander Hen derson, at Portsmouth, is under orders for further service in the Mediterranean. The launching of the fine line-of-battle screw steam-ship Atlas, 91 guns, took place from No. 6 slip at Chatham on Saturday afternoon, with the most complete success, making the fourth large ves sel of war which has been launched from that dock yard in little more than 12 months. Mrs. Schom berg, the wife of Capt. Schoenberg, superintendent of the steam reserve ordinary in the Medway, per formed the ceremony of christening the ship. The following is stated to be the dimensions of the ship :—Length extreme, 281 feet; length between perpendiculars, 244 feet 9 inches; breadth extreme, 54 feet 4 inches ; breadth for tonnage, 54 feet 6 inches ; height forward, 53 feet ; height aft, 58 feet 6 inches; burthen in tons, 3,317 78-34. Another vessel, of a similar size to that of the Atlas, will be immediately laid down on the same slip. The next vessel to be launched at Chatham dockyard is the Bulwark, 91, nearly completed. The screw steam Coastguard ships which have been assembling at Portland during the last few days left that harbour under canvas on Friday afternoon for a cruise in the Channel.

The two latter vessels, in consequence of the leeward position in which they had been anchored, were assisted round the end of the outer breaker by the steam tug Rattler, after which sail was made down Channel. The spectacle presented by 11 large men of-war under full sail passing round the island Was very splendid, The following promotions in the navy, to bear date the 21st inst., are announced :—Commanders to be Captains—E. G. Hore, J. G. Bickford, W. E. A. Gordon, and C. Vesey. Lients to be Comman ders—W. Strickland, D. Herbert, Iltid T. M. Nicholl, James Simpson (b), H. West, and J. W. Pike.

The colonelcy of another regiment, the 17th (the Leicestershire) Foot, is rendered vacant by the death of Lieut.-Gen. Thomas S. Wemyss. The gallant officer died on Thursday morning, at his residence, at Bath. The deceased officer had nearly completed his 60th year of service in the army, his commission as ensign being dated in October, 1800. He accom panied.the Walcheren expedition in 1809, and the following year proceeded to the Peninsular as Ma jor of Brigade to the brigade under Lord Howard, composed of the 50th, 71st, and 92d Regiments, with which he served during the remainder of the war until its final embarkation at Bordeaux in 1814. During the war he was present at the different affairs during the retreat to the lines near Lisbon ; actions of Pombal, Redinha, Foz d'Aronce,battie of Fuentes d'Onor, surprise of Marshal Gerard at Arroyo de Molinos, storm of Fort Napoleon and the bridge of Almarez, action of Alba de Tormes, defence of Be jar, battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees ; at Maya, Lesaca, and Donna Maria, where he was severely wounded ; the battles of the Nivelle, Cambo, St. Pierre (again wounded), Hellette, Garris, St. Pa lais, Tarbes, Arriverietta, Orthes, Aire, and Tou louse, besides numerous minor affairs. Subsequently he served with his regiment (the 99th) in India, and against the Kandians in Ceylon. In recognition of his military services he was in 1838 made a Compa nion of the Order of the Bath, and had received the silver war medal and seven clasps for Fuentes d'Onor, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. In further acknowledgment of his professional services the late gallant veteran was, in May, 1854, appointed Colonel of the 17th Regiment of Foot. The inspection of the Ist and 2d Battalions of the Grenadier Guards, by H.R.H. the Duke of Cam bridge, as General Commanding-in-Chief, in Hyde park, was postponed, both on Thursday and Satur day last, on account of the unfavourable weather.
