V a, • ...... coasts with wrecks, which sent vessels to the bottom even within the shelter of harbours, and which tried to its very utmost the tremendous strength of the largest ship in the world, there was a squadron .at sea on which the thoughts of Englishmen must have rested with anxious solicitude. Our Channel Fleet—the first defence of the nation—left the waters of Queenstown just 48 hours before the Royal Charter passed the same port on that ill fated run which closed a successful voyage with disaster and destruction. Four line of-battle ship. and three heavy frigates stood bravely out into the Atlantic as the tempest was impending, and what was to be their fate ? The vessels were of novel construction and armament, utterly different from those with which Nelson kept the seas ; the crews would a lmost theso were but newly organised, and the approaching u st n o i r x m irall wa e s led p7 in s t e h n e t s ly e la to tit b u u d r e s s t f ury . How ships behave ? How would modern seamanship endure this drain upon its resources ? These are questions to which a reply was given a day or two ago—an eye-witness having told the public, through our columns, all the history of the Channel fleet in the gale. It was on Saturday, the 22d ult., that the Hero, the Trafalgar, the Algiers, and the Aboukir, accom- pan ied by the 'Mersey, the Emerald, and the Melpo mene, put to sea from Queenstown. Up to the after noon of Monday the squadron met with no remark able adventure, but about that time, just after the crews had been exercised at gunnery practice, heavy storm of hail and sleet began to set in. Still there was no immediate indication of the tem pest at hand, and at sunset topsails were double reefed and courses reefed for the night, with no particular character about the wind, except that of extreme variability. As the morning broke on Tuesday, the day of the storm, the Land's-end was sighted, and the rain and the wind continued to increase. About nine a.m. the advent of the gale was no longer doubtful ; topgallantyards were sent on deck and topgallantmasts struck, and the signal was given from the flagship; " Form two columns; form line of battle ; .Admiral will endeavour to go to Plymouth." To Plymouth, accordingly, the °ours° of the fleet was shaped, but so terrifically had the wind increased that it became very question able whether the sternmost ships of the line could possibly succeed in entering the Sound. Upon this the Admiral determined to wear the fleet together, stand off, and face the storm, a manoeuvre which, under circumstances of great dif f iculty, was most gallantly executed. The ships were close upon the Eddystone Lighthouse, round which they " darted like dolphins" under the tremendous pressure of the gale, the Trafalgar stoppino , in the midst of the storm to pick up a man who had fallen overboard. The whole squadron now stood off the land, the Mersey and Melpomene furling their sails, and the former vessel steaming along " like an ocean giant." Still the gale increased till about 3 p.m., when there occurred that remarkable phenomenon by which these rotatory tempests are characterised. The fleet had got into the very centre of the storm, the " eye" of the tornado, and, though the sea towered up and broke in tremendous billows all around, the wind suddenly ceased and the sun shone. When,however, the signal had been given and obeyed for setting sail n an a IT g lod ai r e n i 7 , 1 theng orgreater as t s e h r b i f ps eofrocr s ee o ot encounteredfromhou etvheei. s .EI It wasbt l u t e t nt oh gale w o n es eNa .plver., . feet hurricane ; and for three hours the whole fury of the tempest was poured upon the squadron. When it began at length to abate a little the four line-of-battle ships and one of the frigates were still in company and all doin. , well. The Mersey and the Emerald had steamed into Plymouth, but the five remaining vessels kept in open order throughout that terrible night, wore in succession by night signal at about 1 a.m., made the land at daylight, formed line of battle, came grandly up Channel under sail at the rate of 11 knot an hour, steamed into Portland, and took up their anchorage without the loss of a sail, a spar, or a ropeyarn." We cannot but express our most lively satisfac tion at the results which this narrative conveys. It is evident enough that our ships and our seamen still maintain their ancient character, and that steam and gunnery, however prominent they may appear, have not superseded those original elements of excellence which gave the British navy its re nown. It is also plain from this event that seaman ship is still an indispensable condition in nautical efficiency. Mere soldiers or engineers could never have carried the Channel Fleet through the tornado. The aid of steam was occasionally called in, and, no doubt, to good purpose, as when the Mersey put forth her enormoas strength in cleaving the billows of the Chamnel, bla it was professional skill which kept the squadron harmless through those four-and twenty hours of peril. Steam, in fact, can never be more than auxiliary, and for the obvious reason that no vessel can carry fuel for more than a few days' cruise. In times of war a squadron would be com pelled to reserve its coals for the actual period of an engagement, and to rely, in the main, on its sails, or, in other words, on its sailors. Manoeuvres during action will be greatly facilitated, and probably, in deed, altogether changed, by the introduction of steam power, but beyond such assistance on that and other emergencies the new element will do but little. To steam 30 or 40 days and without taking in fresh supplies of fuel a vessel must be as big as the Great Eastern ; in fact, it was that very con dition 'which first determined the dimensions of the great ship. Ordinary vessels of war must either be dependent upon fresh supplies week after week, or the must rely upon their sans, as they did 40 years ago: Great as is the cost of our navy, not a sixpence of the outlay will be grudged by the country if a corresponding return is found in the efficiency of the fleet and the security of the nation. Give us a good Channel Squadron composed of such ships as weathered the great storm of Tuesday, and the money will be found without a murmur. The public ask only for money's worth, and it is satis factory in the extreme to think that this fair con sideration is now forthcoming. Perhaps there was a natural exaggeration in the description given of the navy at the Liverpool banquet, when, in order to exalt the merits of Lord Derby's Adminis tration, it was said to have raised our fleet to a condition of " unprecedented power." Much, how ever, was really done by that Government, and all praise is due to those resolute exertions by which the average productiveness of our dock yards was so largely increased. We have passed the crisis now. We have emerged successfully from the position in which 'a variety of cir cumstances had combined to place us for the ,moment, and it is not likely that any future Government will shut its eyes to the warning. Once ahead, it is impossible that any State can overtake us, for our pecuniary and mechanical re sources exceed those of any country in the world. Whatever phase naval warfare or nautical science can assume, we must needs be better prepared for it than others. If steam rams or steel-plated frigates should be in the ascendant, it is here that they can he most speedily constructed; if rifled cannon are to carry the day, it is here that they can be turned out with the greatest rapidity. Englishmen are naturally disposed to grumble, and perhaps this grumbling goes tar towards getting us good service, but to those who remember the state of our defences 10 or 12 years ago their pre sent condition must present a spectacle both agree able and surprising. That we have still much to do in organising a supply of men for the Navy is doubtless true, but the stride we have taken in all departments is immense. Our line-of-battle ships are magnificent, and we have one fleet in the Medi • - terranean and another in the Channel. Our heavy frigates are admirable structures, unsurpassed by any vessels of the class afloat, while in vessels below these rates we are exceedingly strong. We cannot entirely concur with those who Imagine that line-of-battle ships will be superseded by gun boats, but nobody can doubt that such a flotilla of small, but heavily armed craft as we could send out must be of infinite service in times of emergency. Lastly, and above all, it is clear, if only from last week's experience, that we still possess officers and seaman of that quality which constitutes the real power of a navy, and that no improvements in ar tillery or navigation are likely to supersede the gifts of daring and skill. With these conclusions we may well be gratified, and especially when we reflect that such a power of confronting all the perils of war is more likely than anything else to secure us he blessings of unbroken peace.

At a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, held last evening, the conditions upon which the great ship was coming to Southampton, and questions as to the eligibility of making this port the place for her call and departure, and other interesting matters relating thereto, were discussed; and it was afterwards proposed and unanimously carried that the Chamber of Commerce invite the directors of the Great Ship Company to a banquet. It has also been resolved at a meeting of the com mittee of the Southampton Club—" That on the arrival of the Great Eastern an invitation shall be given to Capt. Harrison and the officers of that ship to the free use and privileges of the club during their continuance in this port; also that a deputa tion, consisting of the president, &c., shall wait on Capt. Harrison for the purpose of presenting the same.' The Great Eastern left Holyhead for Southamp ton between 12 and 1 o'clock this day. She will be here on Friday. The Plymouth Mail says A rumour has reached us, through the medium of an eminent en gineer, that Plymout:i will ultimately be the Great Eastern's port of departure." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—To correct erroneous impressions arrived at in the last few months from Liverpool sources, I shall feel obliged by your publication of the follow ing letter, addressed to the editor of the Liverpool Daily Post.—l am, &c,, R. J. It. CAMPBELL, Chairman. Great Ship Company (Limited), Nov. 2. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL DAILY POST. Dear, Sir,—ln justice to Mr. Thomas Bold, and for the inforniatioa of all those interested in the Great Eastern, it is my duty to inform you that there is no foundation in the statement contained in your paper, that £40,000 has been placed at his disposal for the completion of that vessel, or that any sum has been so placed, or any such duty as signed to that gentleman. Mr. Bold's position at the board is that of direc tor appointed to fill a vacancy, and subject to the confirmation of a general meeting, and acting managing-director for Mr. Jackson. The contract of the company for the completion of the Great Eastern and the work performed have in due course been subjected to the most careful examination of three experienced surveyors, whose report will furnish Mr. llawkshaw as umpire, and Messrs. Fowler and M'Clean as arbitrators, with material on which to deliberate in making the award. Until this is done the company are not aware to what extent, if at all, they can be called upon disburse any funds except for extras speci ally ordered. In the completion of the work the superv - sion of a competent surveyor will supersede the necessity of assigning to any di rec t or th a t d u ty. The reports circulatd as to the reasons leading to the adoption of. Southampton as the port of com pletion are equally without foundation ; all the energies of the board from April to August were devoted to the completion of the ship in time for the American season, and but for the unfortunate accident (over whi ch the directors had no possible control), the ship would have been in America in September, leaving for after completion that which could have been temporarily dispensed with. The delay consequent on making good the damage done by the accident deranged our plans, and two courses remained open for our adoption. The first was to go to America, realise little by the voyage out, and find when we arrived there that dis appointment to the people of America and ourselves could have been the only result of visiting them at a time when they could not visit us. The next course was to turn to account, this time, the finishing of the vessel, and utilise in a central position the time so occupied by gratifying the interest taken in the vessel by our countrymen. This done, an early opportunity would be afforded the directors of further testing the vessel's sea qualities by a trip to the warm climate of the Mediterranean, which would ensure passengers, and prepare the public mind for that complete con fidence necessary to obtain all the passengers and goods essential to her complete success on whatever voyage she might be sent; preparing her also, at the same time, for government employ, if so desired, and leaving the American trip to the more season able period of the year, for the most complete realisation of their and our wishes. The determination of a final and fixed port of departure will entirely depend upon the respective merits of the ports in this country, adapted, by position and safety, natural advantages and trade facilities, for the vessel ; but this much you may depend upon, that so long as I have anything to -do with the management of the affairs of the COlll PENALTIES. For any offence against this act, by candidates themselves, the party offending to be for ever ineli gible to sit in the House of Commons, and forfeit £5OO. By electors, to be disqualified for ever from voting, and to forfeit £lOO, and in default of pay ment, to be imprisoned for one year, or any less term at the discretion of the court. By a non elector, to be for ever debarred from acquiring the right to vote at any election, to forfeit £lOO, or suffer one year's imprisonment, or a less term as aforesaid. THE FASHIONABLE LIE, " NOT AT HOME."— " I never," says a lady, " sent that message to the door but'once, and for that once I shall never forgive myself. It was more than three ye:rs ago, and when I told my ser vant that morning to say `Not at home,' to whomsoever might call, except she knew it was some intimate friend, I felt my cheeks tingle, and the girl's look of surprise mor tified me exceedingly. But she went about her duties, and I about mine, sometimes pleased that I had adapted a con venient fashion by which I could secure time to myself, ' sometimes painfully smitten with the reproaches of con science. Thus the day wore away ; and when Mr. Le6carnie home he startled me with the news that a very dear and in timate friend was dead. 'lt cannot be,' was my reply, for she exacted of me a solemn promise that I would alone sit by her dying pillow, as she had something of great im portance to reveal to me. You must be misinformed ; no one has been for me.' Here suddenly a horrible suspicion crossed my mind. She sent for you, but you were not at home,' said Mr. Lee innocently; then he continued lam sorry for Charles, her husband ; he thinks her distress much aggravated by your absence, from the fact that she called your name piteously. Ho would have sought for you, but your servant said she did not know where you had gone. lam sorry. You must have been out longer than usual, for Charles sent a servant over three times.' Never in all my life did I experience such loathing of myself, such utter humiliation. My servant had gone further than I, in adding falsehood to falsehood, and I had placed it out of my power to reprove her by my own equivocation. I felt humbled to the very dust; and the next day I resolved, over the cold clay of my old friend, that I would never again, and under any circumstances, say Not at home.' " 3 0 0 110 0 PRICE 4 1) . STAMPED, 5D 111 E NA V 17. The Victoria, 121, in Portsmouth Dockyard, is now receiving her last coat of paint prior to being launched. Her temporary anchors have been brought down and placed under her bows ready for hoisting to her catheads. The Odin, 16,paddle, Captain Lord John Hay, at Portsmouth, is being fitted with Mr. Normanby's mrated distilling apparatus on the application of Lord John alter witnessing the results of the recent trials. The Odin and Sphinx have taken on board the armaments of the four gunboats, which they will convey to China (Flamer, Grasshopper, Hardy, aid Havoc), and have each had their shell rooms and magazines enlarged to receive their ammuni tion. The Odin is excessively deep in the water from the large quantity of stores she has taken on board for China, and we understand that her gallant captain, in consequence of the deep immersion of the ship, has declined to receive any more.

The Commo dore Superintendent, the Hon. James R. Drummond, inspected the ship and mustered the crew, who went through the usual course of sword exercise previous to being paid off. The engines of the ship were examined, and found to be still in good working condition. The iron hull of the vessel is still considered good, but the waterways and some of the beams are found rotten and decayed The new screw steam sloop,Mutine, appointed to carry 17 guns, yesterday had her mas:s in and top masts on end in basin at Woolwich. The military store steamship Lord Panmure, H. T. Moore, master commanding, has arrived at Wool wich from Dublin and Pembroke, and yesterday discharged at the arsenal some curious specimenssof Chinese ordnance, captured and brought home from that country, amounting to '240 tons, among which are 30 brass and metal guns, corresponding with our 12-pounders, mostly in a damaged state. There is also one iron cylinder, which has been used as a gun, of about the same calibre, having a number of thick rings or hoops down the length of the barrel. It has the appearance of having laid some time im mersed in water, and is thoroughly eaten into with rust and corrosion. There are likewise two metal siege guns, weighing about five tons each. At no time since the Riassian war has a greater activity been perceptible than at the present moment in Woolwich arsensal in the preparation and export of ammunition and war materials for the defence of our coasts and for China. Shot and shell of the largest size in use are seen rolling from the factories to the water's edge by means of the Boxer slides, and are shipped with great rapidity on board various light schooners for the west, whence those destined for China are transhipped. for their destination. Upwards of 1,000 tons are now ready for departure. The weathe: at Portsmouth yesterday morning was bright and clear, with rather a fresh breeze at W.S.W. After noon, however, it became more overcast, and several sharp rain squalls passed over, the wind freshening each squall. The baro meter had risen 61 tenths from the same time the day previous, and had evidently jumped up too quickly to denote any long continuance of the fine weather which showed itself during the fore part of the day. At sunset it looked wild and threatening away to windward. It is reported that a sloop, with her crew of four hands on board, went down of her anchors off the "Norman" yesterday, but no particulars have come to hand. From information received from Bracklesome Bay we learn that a French brig, the Olinda, Capt. Dupost, from Havre for Pernambuco, drove ashore off Witterin, in the bay, at 1 a.m. yesterday. The captain and one man had been washed overboard and lost. The pilot of the brig had been brought ashore since she had stranded, dead. Hopes were entertained of saving the vessel and cargo, if the weather moderated. M. Van Den Burgh, the French Vice-Consul, had pro ceeded to the scene of the disaster, 'to take charge of the vessel and her crew. The whole details had not come to hand when our parcel left last evening. The schooner Merlin, Capt. Coplin, from London for Terceira, was yesterday, 11 miles south of the Needles, thrown on her beam-ends by a squall, and totally dismasted. The wreck was eat away to save the vessel, and a try-sail set abaft the stump of the foremast. By dint of great exertion, the schooner was anchored outside the Dean Sand, when a steamer was despatched to her assistance and she was towed into Portsmouth harbour yester day. The steamer which was brought up in St. Helen's Roads yesterday, during the gale, proved to be-the Sultan, from Vigo, &c., for Southampton ; she proceeded yesterday morning. NV e understand that she received considerable damage from the gale. A letter received at Plymouth from an officer on board a merchant ship, dated at Shanghai, August 14, says—" For upwards of a month past we have been in a very unsettled state here. From July 29 to August 1 every ship that had guns and small arms . kept them loaded, hourly expecting the Chinese to descend on the town and ship. On Saturday night, July 30, the French Consul had four fieldpieces and above 200 men to guard his resilience. As for ourselves, we were walking the decks from 8 p.m to 2 A.M. fully armed. Our alarm was increased as the morning advanced, for about 9 o'clock we heard the command pass from ship to ship Tell the men of war to be prepared as the junks are getting ready to run down the river and set fire to our shipping.' At this time the Chinese were shouting with all their might, and discharging their heavy ordnance. I think there must have been 10,000 of these noisy rascals in the junks. However they showed more d'scretion than valour, and did not attack us. Our leave to go ashore is, however, suspended." Nearly the whole of the required number of ad ' ditional labourers ordered to be entered in Chatham Dockyard have been received, but there are still vacancies for first-class shipwrights and joiners. The classification of the riggers employed in the dockyard has been made, the whole of that body receiving the increase of pay ordered by the Ad miralty. Thefollowing appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander George Darbin, to the Coastguard ; John S. Adams, assistant-surgeon to the Chatham division of Marines ; J. M. Bateson, assistant-surgeon to the Diadem; E. J. Butler, assistant-surgeon to the Muting; and James Clark son, assistant-surgeon to the Fawn. THE ARMY. The authorities connected with the War De partment having decided on making considerable additions to the coast defences at Dover, by the ex tension of the line of fortifications and the recon struction of several of the batteries, orders have been received at Chatham for the 34th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Captain G. H. Gordon, to proceed from that garrison to Dover to be employed on the contemplated works. The company will be considerably augmented pre viously to its leaving Chatham by the selection of several men from the detachments of Royal Engi neers now at head quarters. Durimo• the last few days several batches of recruits have arrived at the head-quarters of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, chiefly from the agricultural districts and the me tropolis, numbers of young men who have been thrown out of work through the " strike" having joined her Majesty service. The Chatham division of Royal Marines is now unusually strong. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post for two stamps).
