SIXES, Chairman. 142, Strand, London, W.C. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF. SCOTSIVOOD _RAILWAY BRIDGE BY EIRE. (From the Northern Daily Express.) Yesterday . (Wednesday) afternoon intelligence was received in Newcastle that an alarming fire had broken out on Scotswood Railway-bridge, and which threatened the imminent destruction of that structure. On,proceeding to the scene of the confla gration we succeeded, with some difficulty, owing to the confusion incidental to these catastrophes, in gleaning the following facts :—lt appears that in consequence of the frequent expressions of public opinion as to the unsound state of the bridge, an eminent engineer was sent down from London by the Home-office to inspect and report thereon. This gentleman in due course arrived in Newcastle, and at 9 o'clock yesterday morning left this town by special train, accompanied by Mr. Tate, engineer to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company, and Mr. Bourne, engineer to the North-Eastern Com pany, to make a survey of the bridge. They com menced operations about 10 o'clock, and continued their experiments till about a quarter past 12 o'clock. These experiments were made by means of two of the heaviest engines in the service of the Newcastle and Carlisle R4way Company, named the Alston and the Planet. They were first of all run abreast to and fro upon the bridge; then the Alston, being the heaviest, was tried singly. The Planet was next yoked to a heavy train of coke waggons, about 44 in number, and, after passing and repassing over the bridge, was brought by slow degrees to the centre, and the deflection of the bridge under the pressure taken. At the conclu sion of the experiments, the Government inspector, having made a few practical suggestions as to strengthening it, &c., expressed himself satisfied as to the safety of the bridge. The party then re turned to Newcastle. About ten o'clock the train from Carlisle passed over the bridge, and all seemed right at that time. Many different reports were afloat as to the time the fire broke out, varying from two o'clock to three ; but the latter seems to be the more general account, as about half-past 3 o'clock information was given of the occurrence to the loco motive department of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, when Mr. A. Hall at once despatched a special engine with a body of men and a fire engine. By a simultaneous action on the part of the officials of the North-Eastern Railway, another engine, also with a body of men and fire engine, was despatched from the central station—the latter arriving first. The fire had commenced about the third arch from the Scotswood end of the bridge, and was first dis covered, we believe, by Thos. Hall, the man who has charge of the bridge in order to clear it of any cin ders that may fall from the engines in passing over it. He at once attempted, but in vain, to subdue the flame. The wind was blowing strong at the time from the west end of, and so right along the bridge, which, from its inflammable nature—being, con structed entirely of wood, thickly tarred and as phalted—soon took hold, and was very soon, from' end to end, one mass of flame. By half-past four the whole of the parapet had fallen in, leaving nothing but the piers standing with the wreck of rail—twisted into all sorts of grotesque shapes by the intense heat—and the remains of the telegraphic wares, to say that there had once been a railway bridge there. By the time the engines arrived the fire had assumed such alarming proportions, it was at once seen that all they could do was to direct their attention to the abutments at either end, so as to save, if possible, the property in the immediate vicinity. At the west end they were successful in this, as by keeping a plentiful supply of water playing upon that part it received little or no in jury beyond being slightly discoloured from the smoke and the action of the fire upon it. The mason work is entirely saved ; and the platelayers, under the direction of Mr. A. Hall, assisted in cutting off the communication by knocking in the joints of the rails, so that it might go clean away. At the Scotswood end of the bridge, however, they were not so fortunate, as they had the effects of the strong west wind that prevailed against them. Almost immediately on the fire commencing, it communicated itself with the pre mises of Messrs. N. Grace and Co., paper-makers, which immediately adjoin the bridge on that side; in fact, the bridge itself is the boundary wall on that side of the mill. Here, too, was an immense amount of material to feed the fury of the destruc tive element. Between the mill and the river the Messrs. Grace have a wharf, which also extends to the bridge, on which was lying at the time of the catastrophe from 100 to 150 barrels of resin. The attention of Mr. Maule, the esteemed manager of the mill, was of course first directed to this, and he gave the necessary instructions to have it at once re moved ; but before they could get them away the fire had extended to the stonework of the bridge, and so into the yard, and with such velocity that the immense quantities of resin was in a blaze, defying the men to come near it, and running like liquid lava over the quay wall into the river. As soon as the resin took fire, it commenced with the mechanics' shop at the western extremity of the premises, in which, in addition to the workmen's tools, &c., was stowed upwards of 100 tons of old rope. This was also soon on fire, but by the united exertions of the watermen in connection with the mill they suc ceededpartiallyengines, b yb extinguishing earing it bucketsb eforef water o the ar rival of in the and throwing it on the burning mass. About five o'clock the Newcastle fire engine arrived, and took up its position on Messrs. Grace's premises, Having the hydraunts in the yard in connection with the Whittle Dean, the hose of the engine was attached thereto, and getting to play upon the flames, soon stayed their progress. To the east of, but closely adjOining the mill, are twe\offlces and the dwelling house of the-manit.<9"' i and ; the conflagration so very soon ShoWing.suclialarming symptoms, it was found necessarytoyernevethe whole of the furniture from both into an adjoining field; but by seven o'clock, the fire being then pretty well subdued, they were enabled to grtit -back into the - house again. Great - praise is due-to the•w4kmen of Messrs. Grace and Co:, for the. intrepiility and activity displayed by them on the trying_ and fearful occasion, as no doubt but for 11:eir exertions a deal of valuable pro perty would have - boen destroyed. Had the fire occurred at night in all probability the whole of the extensive mill and adjoining premises would have been burnt to the ground ; as it is, the loss sustained by Messrs. Grace is - estimated at some thing like -X5OO. .We are happy to say, however, that the loss will be covered by insurance. No cause can be at present ascertained for this fatal and ill timed occurrence, but it is probable that an investi gation will be made, which, we hope, may throw light on-the subject. We are informed on autho rity.that scarcely any interruption will take place on the Newcastle and Carlisle line in consequence of .the ,destruction iof the bridge. The passenger trains will run as usual, and omnibuses will convey passengers between Scotswood and Blaydon. Ar rangements :have also been made with the North- Eastern Company to convey the goods and mineral via Gateshead. LAUNCH OF A NEW STEAMER FOR THE GANGES. - - The Jurnue, a stew stefm vessel, belonging to ilia. Oriental Inland Steam Company, and destined for the navigation of the Ganges, has just been launched from Messrs. Reid and Co.'s building yard in Port- Glasgow, and will be immediately towed round to Liverpool to receive her engines, which have been constructed by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co., the eminent engineers of that place. The length of the Jumna is 220 feet; the breadth 30 feet; and the depth about 71 feet. She is built with two rows of longitudinal truss work to impart longitudinal strength, and has also an iron deck beneath, the wooden one, so that the vessel virtually constitutes a great iron tube which is divided at intervals by water tight compartments. The Jumna will be propelled by engines on the double cylinder principle. There are two high pressure cylinders of 26 inches diame ter, and 6 feet stroke, and two low pressure cylin ders of 48 inches diameter and 6 feet stroke. The steam is generated by four locomotive boilers. The pressure of the steam is 120 lbs. on the square inch, which is the pressure now used in locomotives of the most approved construction. The steam, after having generated power in the high pressure cylinders, passes into the low pressure cylinders, where it again generates power, and finally passes to the condenser. The condensation of the steam is effected by extreme cold, so that only pure water is supplied to the boilers—an object of much im portance in muddy rivers like the Ganges. The engines of the Jumna are expected to work up to 1,200 or 1,300 horses power. The vessel will tow four barges, each 130 feet long, 30 feet broad, and 7 feet deep, and one barge 160 feet long, 30 feet broad, and 7 feet deep. The total capacity of these five barges is about 120,000 cubic feet, or reckon ing 40 cubic feet to the ton, 3,000 tons, but on the average, the train of barges 's not expected to carry morethan 2,000 tons of cargo. This is at least five times more than can be carried by the most power ful of the steamers at present plying on the Ganges, and as the power will be generated with great economy of fuel, vessels of this class may reason ably be expected to be very profitable. It is at least certain; that no vessel of the power and efficiency of the Jumna has been yet either made or projected for the navigation of any of the rivers of India, the nearest approach thereto being the Ganges steamer, also belonging to the Oriental Inland Steam Com pany, and which has proved herself capable of at taining a high rate of speed, and of towing a string of barges with great efficiency. The Jumna, with water in the boilers, and coal in the coal boxes, will only draw about 2 feet 3 inches of water. No vessel ever before built will combine in, so eminent a de gree, the three requisites indispensable for the navigation of the Indian rivers with permanent success, viz., large engine power, great capacity, for carrying cargo, and a light draught of water. The field in which the Oriental Inland Steam Company have embarked is about one of the most promising ever yet presented to public attention. In India we have a vast pOpulous and fertile coun try only now fairly thrown open to British enter prise, and permeated by great navigable rivers, which, though shallow at certain seasons and rapid at other seasons, may be navigated by steam vessels of appropriate construction, and are at present suc cessfully navigated by steam vessels, which, though deficient in speed and in carrying power, have already returned large profits to their owners.— Greenock, Advertiser. A CORNISII BISIZOTRIC. For a great many years past there has been brought occasionally the see of Exeter before the world a proposal for the division o bishoprics, the presentbeingin of t two bishoprics, so boundaries ex tended a range that the diocese is unmanageable even by so energetic a bishop as our own diocesan. first The proposal was substantially promoted by the incumbent of St. Columb, the Rev. Dr. Walker, who was " of the earliest converts to Dr. Pusey, in the W e est of England, and who, having torn up the and laid bare the roof of one of the fin es t' of of the parish churches in Cornwall, had wit afterwards to live for years in h the parsonage his windows barricaded, to protect himself from the results of any in dignant demonstrations on the part of the people. his Eighteen years ago church was in a beautiful condition. Th e denuded it, to give p i r t i est" then took it in hand and those adornments which the Prynnes and Bryan Kings of our own time regard as the beauty of holin®ss. QM How it was that he was his s topped short in career we could never learn ; but some time afterwards c hurch, it had the on our visiting the appearance of a wretched old barn. The light of Heaven could be seen coming through its roof. It was raining at the time of our old visit, and we saw an e man sitting there on a form There under an umbrella! rewere also more than 60 windows in the old church broken, and some of them were stuffed with straw to keep out the rough winds of a north of Cornwall climate. Bryan King's () c hurch, under the assaults the " heretics" who will not believe in him, i s a churchpalace compared to the forlorn, miserable den theat St. Columb had become under the pastoral hands of Dr. Walker. The question of a second bishokri • c slumbered for years, and it has lately been revived with consider able energy. The Rev. Reginald Hobhouse has written an able pamphlet in its favour. Dr. Phil pots has given to the scheme his most holy sanction, and we have heard that the demand for a new bishop has been universal. Such being b the case, a memo rial has been g o t u p to Lie _ Premier, and Lord Pa l mers ton appointed Tuesdaywevelast to receive the deputation. It turns ou t , however, that the memo rial has been signed by only 1 ,55 1 ;; persons out of a population of 356,622 p ers ons. The appeal for the second bishopric sinks therefore into insignificance. Mr. Hobhouse urg es the n ew bishopric on several grou nds. There is a large amount ac cruing in the county, which of money will pass into the hands of the E cclesiasti cal O • ommissioners, and, unless it can be stopped in transitu , Cornwall will get little or none of i t. Some eh , h men, it would see m, think that instead of making re a having the samp le of Bisho p Philpotts before their new bishop— eyes—it would be far better to form o new districts where they are wanted, and provide and maintain clergymen in the m. Takin g his own Deanery of East, as a sample of the wan ts of the county, Mr. Hobhouse reckons 128 new districts as being re quired to put the co unt y of C ornwall into a good ecclesiastical conditi on, and f or these there would ts be 112. endowmen required. With a bishop living in the county, and devoting hi s theenergies to its clerical wants, Mr. Hobhous e says inhabitants would have a much bet ter chance of getting the necessary number of additional clergy, than they will without a bishop. They want, he adds, a Chief Pastor, not for the clergyof only, but also for the people. The diocese D Exeter is larger than any other in the kingdom, and Devonshire alone is larger than most of the existing e ioceses, while Cornwall is also larger than several. Such being the facts, and as there will ere long be native epis copal funds, it is argued that a bishopric ought to be formed. It is almost wholly a clerical question, and when scarcely sixteen hundred people out of more than three hundred and fifty-six thousand. can be found to sign a m em orial for e ecclesiastical official, it is an unquestionable proof that Co • rnishmen, as a body, are utterly indifferent to the_ movement. If it be possible to find an alter ego of Dr. Philpotts, - the farther he be kept away from the diocese the will better, they may think, it be for their own peace and happiness, It was stated that, instead of the people cc-ope rating, as they should do, with the Government in obtaining statistics affecting the social interests of the, people, large classes, including many thought ful and patriotic men, would, at all risk, decline giving information which they thought could not properly be asked for. It was pointed out that in many cases householders would do injustice to the inmates of their houses, by`giving, either from care lessness or partisanship, incorrect information re ,,spectiin 0. the religious opinions of se rv a n t s , l o d gers , and others. Many also would , be unable satisfactorily to define their own ecclesiastical position, and would make a return in so general or doubtful a shape, that it would be utterly valueless, To state the religious profession of the hundreds of thousands of the community who really made none, would be a mockery. The power given to the enumerators to ask questions, under a penalty, might, in respect to this matter, also prove a source of great annoyance. The deputations did not object to a census of the number of the places of worship, and the extent of accommodation provided; as such information could be obtained without giving any offence, and by , affording a means of comparison with the facts re vealed at the census of 1851, it would stimulate re ligious and philanthropic effort, as that census had unquestionably done. It was finally agreed, that the results of the census, if taken as proposed, would only occasion irritation, while the Legisla lature would be ignorant, or be misled, as regards the real religious condition of the people, and a mass, of statistics would be collected which would be delusive, and in some cases dishonest also. The suggestion of the Statistical Society, that this part of the census might be made optional, was ob jected to, on the ground that the value of such in formation depended on its completeness, and that it was better to be without statistics than to have statistics which would lead to erroneous inferences. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that he should acpaint his colleagues with the strong feelings existing among the bodies represented by the de putations. He thought that any census was neces sarily open to some of the objections urged; for inquiries as to occupation and sge might equally be denounced as impertinent. He should have thought that there would not have been the difficulty de scribed in defining the ecclesiastical position of in dividuals, and that, at any rate, there was the same difficulty in saying to whom the places of worship belonged.—[lt was replied to this that they were already registered as regards denomination ]—He thought that the statistics obtained at the last census were of less value than had been represented; for the number of attendants at places of worship on a particular Sunday was affected by weather, by sickness, and by other accidental circumstances. It there was to be w a departure from the plan pur sued in 1851, perhaps it would be better to take only the amount of religious accommodation, and to abandon the number of attendants. But the whole subject should be considered, and the bill should not be pressed forward too hastily. It appeared to be the impression of the gentle men present that his lordship's suggestion to take only the amount of accommodation, and to abandon the attendances and personal profession, would be an acceptable alteration. After his lordship had been thanked for his attention to the matter, and the deputies had explained to him the object of the Charitable Trustees' Bill, with a view to obtaining the support of the Government, the deputations withdrew. INDIAN FINANCIAL MEASURES. The minute issued by Sir Charles Trevelyan, the Governor of Madras, on the financial measures of Mr. Wilson, was on Tuesday night promised in the House of Commons, by the President of the Indian Council, to be produced in the course of a week or ten days, when it will be accompanied by other papers. Meanwhile, the document has been received in full through the Bombay mail. A report has been circulated that it was published inadvertently ; but this was not the case. Sir Charles had been previously consulted by the Governor-General, and had stated his views, and those of his responsible advisers in the Madras Presidency. Mr. Wilson, in his subsequent speech, had alluded apparently with strong disapprobation to them, as if they were selfish claims for exemption on behalf of Madras and Bom bay which he had noticed "cropping out in official documents as being encouraged by gentlemen of influence," and Sir Charles, it is to be assumed, has therefore felt it necessary in emphatic terms to take care that these views shall be fully under stood in the Presidency for the government of which he is answerable. Sir Charles commences by admitting that the time is come when the finances of India must be placed on a solid foundation. There must be no more palliatives. The question is whether the imposition of an income-tax, a license tax, and a tobacco-tax is .a necessary or desirable mole of attaining the object. What are the reasons assigeed for the new taxes ? The re cent increase of debt, the precariousness of the revenue derived from opium, and the actual esti mated deficiency of income for the current year. With regard to the first of these, it is urged that, although it is desirable the debt should not be in creased, its existing amount is not disproportionate to the means of the country, if commerce is left free, and the people are not harassed. It bears to the annual revenue a proportion of less than two and-a-half to one; while the English debt is to the English revenue in the proportion of about 11 to 1. " Our policy clearly is to accept the debt as it stands, and to direct our attention to the means of preventing any further increase of taxation." Con cerning the precariousness of the opium revenue, Sir Charles remarks that it has been a common theme ever since he entered public life, yet the opium revenue has gone on steadily increasing. Even, however, if the dreaded falling off should ever occur it will happen only gradually, and the evil of new taxes which may then be necessary to supply the deficiency need not be resorted to in anticipa tion. Taxation in England is studiously adjusted from year to year according to proved necessities. " If we had an annual revenue in England like that from opium we should not think of imposing new taxes to create an insurance fund against its possible reduction." Next, with regard to the actual deficit for the current year. Its amount is stated to be £6,500,000 ; but Sir Charles re marks that no detailed estimate of income and expenditure is given, and that for a demand for such a sum to be acceded to in the dark is wholly against English precedents. The Madras Government, " being responsible for the tranquillity and wellbeing of about 30,000,000 of her Majesty's subjects," desire to know what are the grounds of the asserted deficit and for believing that the proposed new taxation is necessary. Sir Charles believes that the calculation is extremely faulty. Assuming, however, that it can be borne out, he still contends that the contemplated mea sures are injurious and not requisite. That there is, at all events, ample time for deliberation is, he contends; shown by the fact that the balance! in the Exchequer are at this moment larger than they have been since 1853, and are actually £6,000,000 in excess of those held at the corresponding period of last year, the total being about £19,600,000. If, therefore, the desired equilibrium can be restored by a diminution of expenditure, a hasty rush upon new imposts will be altogether inexcusable. A reduction of the vast military establishments and of the swarm of subordinates connected with them is pointed out as the true remedy. The state of things in France, it is alleged, where the plan of maintaining a large portion of the community in dependence upon the Government at the expense of the rest of the community is most acted upon, gives no idea of the excess to which the system has been carried in India. "Reduction of expenditure would transfer the surplus portion of this immense sti pendiary class to productive industry, and would make them taxpayers instead of tax consumers." Yet in the face of the deficient state of the labour market the increase in the military ex penditure in the current year, as compared with the year before the mutiny, is £8,519,227, or 65 L3er cent. At the same time the general rise of prices has rendered the pay of the .native troops insufficient for their support, while, on the other hand, the rate of agricultural Wages is offering them every temptation for private employment. We are therefore, it is argued, in a position of great advantage at the turning point of two poli cies. )Vc may reduce our native armies and int . proVe the' condition of the remainder; or we may retoin them, and " use our strength to impose upon the pcople of India a new system of taxation Which is extremely distasteful to them." The people of India, moreover, while they will submit to imposts which seem founded on long established usage, are especially disposed to meet new experiments by active or passive resistance. In Madras " they taxation n er i sof calculatedcurse I would take the restoration of the transit and town o d E nt d i jeLatsbutto thearouse i n n s t e ro a c l l i u et their latent feelings of opposition. The authority of the Indian law-giver Menu would have no more influ ence with them than quotations from the Rubric or Canon Law would have upon . a country con gregation in England suffering from the innova tion of a reforming High Church clergyman." Not one in ten thousand ever heard of the Institutes of • Menu. In relation to the reproach attempted to be thrown out, that Madras and Bombay desire exemption, Sir Charles simply refers{ to the fact that the people of those Presidencies think it hard they .should be * taxed for a rebellion in which they took no part, but, on the contrary, did all they could to help to put it down. In Madras a series of well considered reforms are in active progress, which, carried to completion, will change the fade of the South of India. If the new taxes are imposed, swarms of harpies will again be let loose upon the country, whereas, if the people are allowed to pur sure their course, the Government of Madras will " undertake to realise by reduction of expenditure more than the most sanguine estimates that can be formed of the net revenue desirable from the three proposed taxes in that Presidency." It is, observes Sir Charles, characteristic of the manner in which these three " tremendous " taxes are proposed to be applied to all the various peoples, nations, and lan guages composing the British empire in India, that there are confessed to be " absolutely no data upon which any reliable calculation can be made of their result." "I can," adds Sir Charles, "assign a fixed measure of the results to be obtained by the reduc tion of military expenditure." The document thus summarised is dated Madras, the 20th of March, and is accompanied by a minute of concurrence from Sir Patrick Grant, the Commander-in-Chief, another from the Hon. R. Maltby, and another from the Hon. W. A. Morehead, the remaining member of Council. The two last gentlemen, however, have signified that they did not intend their reapective minutes for publication.— 2 imes' City Article. GA.RIBALDPS EXPEDITION TO SICILY. GENOA, May 6.—Garibaldi and two thousand two hundred volunteers embarked last night at 12 p.m. Three steamers were lying in the offing, to which they were conveyed in detachments from various points along a range of four or five miles of coast. The concentration of any large body on a given spot was avoided' not to bring additional perplexity on the Government, who has shut its eyes to whatever Garibaldi has been planning for the last three weeks, but whose sympathy, of course, can assume no more tangible form. The scene at the Foce, near Genoa, witnessed by your correspondent, was exciting in the ex treme. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, and the semi-reserve with which the movements of the expeditionary force had been invested, nearly 5,000 persons of all ranks flocked up the beach to bid the gallant adventurers good. speed. Genoa gave 200 of her best marksmen from the Societa del Tiro Nazionale ; the rest were from all parts of the peninsula, .as the dialects you heard on every side, in the medley of cheers and leave-taking, amply testified. As usual with Garibaldi's volun teers,' they Were of every grade and calling— nobles, soldiers; artists, physicians, down to pea sants and workmen, all young and vigorous, and perfectly aware that with such a leader no child's play lies before them. A few were lads of only 15 or 16. They were all in plain clothes, but their uniforms, with arms, ammunition, &c., were al ready on board ship. They are to wear the scarlet tunic so identified, in the Neapolitan's imagina tion, with Garibaldi's successes over them in 1849, when the mere sight of one of the red diavoli used to inspire panic. _ _ _ The funas for this expedition have been supplied from the proceeds for the subscription for a million of muskets set on foot by Garibaldi last autumn. It is not to land in Sicily, but it is intended to effect a diversion in Calabria. The enthusiasm of the troops in garrison here has been so roused that it was necessary to confine them yesterday to their barracks to prevent their deserting in order to enrol themselves. This prudential measure has been made the most of by the authorities here in reply to the remonstrances of the Neapolitan con• sul. More has been done, it is alleged, in opposi tion to the departure of Garibaldi than the Austrian Government has seen fit to do with regard to the thOusands of volunteers, many of whom were her soldiers, who for months past have been pour ing into the Roman Statesfrom Trieste, to swell an army intended for the invasion of a part of the King of Sardinia's dominions. Garibaldi has sanguine hopes of cutting out some one or other of the Neapolitan frigates which are on the watch for his appearance. This would be but the repetition of some of his South American achievements. Midici, his able lieutenant, is to start in four or five days with 2,000 more volunteers. Events are thickening.

The staff of the steam factory are at work upon her day and night, and her repairs, &e., are expected to be completed in about a week's time. The Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. G. D. O'Callaghan, will go out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithcad to morrow morning, to rejoin the first division of the Channel fleet at Spithead, on the completion of her repairs and refit. The adjourned Court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, under the presidency of Rear- Admiral Superintendent Hon. G. Grey, for the trial of Lieutenant Patrickson, serving on board hei' Majesty's ship Asia, steam guard ship of ordinary at that port, on a charge of drunkenness preferred against him by his commanding officer. The trial of the prisoner was adjourned on Tuesday last owing to the sudden illness of the prisoner. On the Court assembling yesterday morning, the prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. Mr. Hoskins, solicitor, who at tended as the prisoner's "friend," made a few observations to the court in mitigation of punish ment, and handed in several excellent testimonials, which the prisoner had received from officers under whom he had formerly served. The court was then cleared, and on its being re opened, the finding was read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate, which de clared the charge proved against the prisoner, and sentenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's ship Asia, and to be placed at the bottom of the list of lieutenants. The contractors for the construction of No. 10 dock, in Portsmouth Dockyard, and for the works necessary to form its junction with No. 7 dock, are erecting a retaining wall in the latter deck for the purpose of withstanding the pressure of the water when ships are docked or undocked dur ing the time the present works are in progress, and also to enable them to excavate the ground be tween Nos. 7 and 10 docks, and form the granite communication between them. When the work is complete the whole, from the harbour entrance to the steam basin, will equal the Great Eastern steam ship in length, but, from its want of depth and breadth, would be, of course, unable to take in that ship. The width between the entrance piers at the coping will be about 80 feet, with a depth in No. 7 dock, in midships from coping to the floor line, of 32 feet. No. 10 dock gives an extra depth of 5 feet, and a greater breadth at the lower altar, owing to the manner of its construction, and it will also have a greater depth of water at its entrance than any other dock in this yard. The chief value of the two docks being thrown into one will be owing to the circumstance of its affording an additional en trance from the harbour to the steam basin, and one that will be much easier of access and more availa ble at certain times of the tide than the one now in use. The survey of two more of the contract mortar vessels, numbered 31 and 48, built for the Admiralty towards the close of the Russian war, has just been completed at Chatham Dockyard, the vessels having been hauled up out of the river on the slip in order to facilitate the survey. The result of the inspec tion has shown that both the vessels are as rotten as those first inspected, and utterly unfit for further service ; indeed, so rotten were they found to be that after a portion of the planking had been removed enough was exhibited to satisfy the officers ap pointed to inspect them that it was unnecessary to extend the survey, and they were accordingly closed up and sent afloat to await an Admiralty order for them to be broken up. It is not yet known whe ther the Admiralty will have ali the gun and mortar vessels lying in Chatham harbour hauled up at the dockyard and inspected with the view of ascertaining their condition, but, as they were all built by contract, there would seem to 'se no doubt, from those already sur veyed, that the majority, if not nearly the whole, will be found so rotten as to render them un fit for further service. The two mortar ves sels numbered 30 and 32 are being taken to pieces by a numerous body of shipwrights, and the planking having been removed and the timbers laid bare, their fearfully rotten state is at once apparent. Scarcely a timber can be discovered which does not contain a liberal quantity of " sap." Indeed, por tions of the timbers may be picked to pieces with the finger, showing the disgracefully faulty timber which, there can be no doubt, was purposely used in their construction. The workmanship is likewise of a very inferior character, and contrasts strongly with that exhibited in the vessels of war under construction on the adjoining slips, the hired ship wrights who are employed breaking them up fre quently remarking that the timbers of the vessels seem to have been " thrown" together. The new 12-pound Armstrong battery inspected last week by his Royal Highness the Prince Con sort, at Woolwich, was yesterday delivered over from the Arsenal to the Artillery for service. Unlike the guns of that description which have hitherto left the Arsenal, either in cases or enveloped in canvass wrappers, the guns of yesterday were transported through the town with no greater degree of secrecy than the guns of former years. Two other cast-irons guns, 6-1 inch bore, manu factured for the special purpose of being hooped, and intended to be rifled according to Sir William Armstrong's principle, were yesterday tested at the Arsenal butt, Woolwich. The charge used on the occasion was similar to the last—namely, 161 b. of powder and a cylindrical rod of iron weighing 160 lb. Both guns withstood the test well over 60 rounds, and at the 62d and 63d rounds the breech of each gun was forced clearly off the chamber without a single fragment or splinter. The proof was ordered to be continued until both guns had burst, in order that the authorities may decide the question of cast iron guns for rifling definitively. Her Majesty's screw steam-schooner Ranger, Commander Wratislaw, yesterday took her depar ture from Woolwich for Greenhithe, where she is to remain about three or four days, after which she is to be detained a short time in the Channel for ex periments, and proceed thence to the West Coast of Africa, her destined station. Before leaving the basin the vessel was inspected throughout, and the crew mustered by Commander Hawker, doing duty as Commodore-Superintendent in the absence of Commodore Drummond, on leave. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Medusa, Comman der William Bowden, was yesterday warped into the outer basin at Woolwich, to return storm and prepare for paying off. Her Majesty's naval transport Diligence, Master Crooke commanding, yesterday commenced ship ping dockyard stores at Woolwich. The contract vessel Llewellyn yesterday arrived at Woolwich Arsenal pier, laden with returned Government war stores from Gibraltar. The contract screw gun-vessel Cormorant, 4,200 horse-power, built by Messrs. Wigram and Co., Blackwall, arrived in Chatham Harbour on Wed nesday evening to be surveyed. The Wanderer, 4, screw gun-vessel, one of the contract steam gun-boats built during the Russian war, which, on being surveyed, was found to be very rotten and 'defective, is ordered to be sent from Chatham to Sheerness to be repaired ; but the gene ral opinion appears to be that, from the state, she is in, she is not worth the expense of repairing. Mr. J. Allen, Assist.-Surg., has been ,onfirmed in the Liffey ; and Mr. Patrick Keel, ./k.se' LA.-Burg., has been confirmed in the Industry. _ SUPPLY OF GAS TO THE METROPOLIS. The committee met again yesterday—Mr. T. S. Estcourt in the chair. Dr. Challice, medical officer for Bermondsey, was called and examined by Mr.Denison—He said there had been complaints of the high price of gas in his district since 1849. The Surrey Consumers' Com pany was then established. At that time the price was 6s. ; and when the Surrey Consumers' Com pany was established the price was reduced to 4s. The Gas Consumers' Mutual Association was formed in 1857, and they had interviews with the gas com panies respecting the complaints of the consumers as to the insufficiency of the illuminating power and the arbitrary cutting off the gas for the most trivial reasons, which had formed the subject of complaint at various public meetings. Four shillings was the price of the gas previous to the " districting," but after that it was raised to 4s. 6d. One of the complaints was that a man was obliged to pay 305., even if he consumed only 1,000 feet of gas a year, and dile side of the street was supplied by one company, the other side by another com pany, and the consumer had to pay both, and the consumer bad also to pay in advance in the great majority of instances, especially with regard to small traders and new tenants ; the consequence of cutting off the gas was very serious as regarded in convenience, and ruinous as to a man's credit. Wit ness considered it would be very satisfactory if there were inspectors of meters appointed, who should be equally independent of the gas companies and of the consumers. At this stage of the proceedings, tha witness re quested to be allowed to withdraw on account of indisposition, which was agreed to, and The committee adjourned till to-morrow (this day).
