Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., forcements will sail from Gravesend to-morrow. NAPIER LODGE.—This lodge, of the North Lon don District, celebrated its anniversary on Tuesday evening, at the Macclesfield Arms, City-road. Prov. G.M. Pilsen presided, and V.G. Ratcliffe occupied the vice -chair, both discharging their duties with very great credit. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the "Manchester Unity and Board of Directors" was received by the 80 members and friends present with much enthusiasm, and P.G.M. Roe, one of the directors, responded, informing the meeting that this important order numbers now nearly 300,000 members, and was altogether mak ing favourable progress. During - the year 1858 the total payments made in sickness amounted to £141,234, and the funeral monies £45,788 making together £187,012. The income far exceeded this sum, for after meeting all claims, the surplus capital of the socivty had increased by about XlBO,OOO ; and the reserve at the commencement of this year approached one million nine hundred thousand pounds. In proposing the "North London District" the chairman, as its Grand Master, took occasion to explain its working as the largest branch of the society, and stated its exact financial position from the printed annual sheet in the hands of mem bers :—the benefits being 12s. eekly in sickness, £l2 on the death of each member, and £6 at the death of a wife, besides medical attendance, and annuities to- widows and children, all whieh a young man could secure on paying Bd. per week. " The Widows' and Orphans' Fund" was responded to by P. G. Harris, who stated that up wards of £19,000 had been paid for benefits, and that there was now iu hand £B,OOO, and 300 widows and 420 children were receiving the pension. "The Napier Lodge" was of course drunk with the honours of the order, and P.G..Jones, in acknow ledging it, said the lodge had now 114• members, of the average age. of 28 years, its own capital carefully saved and kept, of £720. The surgeon, Mr. J. Cornelius, in returning thanks, stated the members to be not only youthful but healthy and expressed the pleasure he always felt in discharg ing his - chides'. " The Press" followed; represen tatives of the Daily Telegraph, Friendly Societies' Journal, &c., being present, and was acknowledged • by Mr. G. F. Pardon, the editor of the Odd Fet• lours' Magazine. ."Mr. Notting; the secretary;" and other toasts, succeeded, and it was late ere the com pany rose, all however being highly pleased with the good fare provided, and the excellent arrange ments made. The musical department was in chakge of Mr. T. Howard Harris, who with his professional friends gave entire satisfaction. NORTH LONDON.—On Monday a meeting of the members of the Widow and Orphan Fund- took place at. St. Martin's Hall. Owing to the laws of this particular fund being enrolled under the now obsolete Act of 1829, all the members subscribing —about s,6oo—had been specially summoned, and nearly 600 attended. It appeared that ,the fund was established 20 years since, and its surplus capital at the close of 1858 was £B,BOO, but some energetic members not considering the contribu tic paid by members sufficient, it was determined to consult Mr. Finlaison, the Government Actuary. The society's own experience was collected and laid before that gentleman, and his •report was read to the meeting; showing that the comparison of assets and liabilities proved beyond a doubt that the surplus capital was more than £17,000 deficient, to provide for the benefits assured; viz : an annuity of £4 17s to widows, and 12s. to children till 14. Mr. Finlaison advised that, instead of the annuity, a sum certain should be paid at the death of present members (£2O) and that instead of 6s. 6d. annually, as at present, every future member subscribing for the annuity should pay 135.; of course increasing according to age. A lengthy discussion was en tered into, those present seeming to be very warm upon the subject, and notwithstanding the lament able state of things for all who are interested in the fund, a resolution was carried to adjourn the further consideration of the matter for 12 months! . We understood this was defeated by a requisition signed, calling another meeting forthwith, which th managing committee are bound to do if any seven members wish it. The last annual return of the district funds is in circulation, and shows the sick and funeral capital to be in strikingly favour able contrast with the Widow and Orphan Fund. In 1858 the net increase of members in the 70 lodges forming the district was 407. The amount of sick pay voted during the year was £4,419. The deaths amongst the members were 96, and wives 50. The net increase of surplus capi tal was £3,739, and the district had at the com mencement of 1859, £46,457 property invested to meet the wants of the then 7,185 members, whose average was 35 years, and of whom about three fourths were married.

By CHARLES PHILLIPS, A. 8., One of Her Mujesty's Com missioners of the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. London :J. Ridgway, 169, Piccadilly, W. gh The following is an extract of a letter froin her Majesty's ship Vixen, dated Callao, July 24 : " We were much disappointed on our arrival here at not finding our orders for England, after the many representations that have been made about the rotten condition of the ship. When at Puenta Arenas the Havannah surveyed us, and it was found that if we did not get a new sponson beam soon it was very likely that the first gale we met would carry away the paddleboa and wheel, carrying with it a portion of the ship's side. The pivot gun was stowed below to prevent, if possible, the stern fall ing out. The ship's side being much worm-eaten, it was recommended that she should becoppered one Yesterday a letter was received by the committee from M. Descamps, who writes on behalf of a num ber of French and other foreign artisans in London, stating that they have determined to aid their Eng lish brethren in this struggle, and enclosing an ad dress, which they have issued to the Belgian, Ger man, French, Italian, Swiss, Polish, Spanish, Rus sian, Dutch, Scandinavian, and other foreign work men, appealing to them for subscriptions. Yesterday afternoon a crowded meeting of builders' foremen was held at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, for the purpose of receiving the report of the depu tation appointed at the meeting of Saturday to wait upon the master builders and endeavour to come to some compromise. Mr. Willoughby, in the employ of Messrs. Cubitt and Co., presided. He said, in his opinion the strike was not nearly over, and in fact, it had only just commenced. Mr. Dobbs, the secre tary, read the report of the deputation, which was to the effect (as already stated i❑ The Sun) that the masters' committee, according to a rule, they had established, were precluded from receiving deputa tions.

The new screw steamship Clio, 21 guns and 400 horse power (nominal), left Sheerness yesterday on a trial trip of her machinery. The screw steamship Amphion, now at Sheerness, has been sent out on a trial trip, during which, from the defective state of her aternpost and after body, the leaks were so bad that the after bread room had to be cleared to prevent her bread stores being damaged by salt water. Previously to her leaving the harbour her mainmast was being stayed up, when the purchase fall was belayed to one of the bulk-head timbers. A serious acci dent was nearly occurring by the bulk-head timber breaking off short. It was then found that the timber and all the frame by which the fore rigging was secured were perfectly decayed by dry rot. Great discontent is manifested by her crew, who say they are to be sent to sea in their coffin, and they only want a chance to get the " It" put against their names. They like their captain and officers, but they will not go to sea in a leaky ship. The Queen, screw steamship, 86 guns, of 500- horse power (nominal), left Sheerness on the 6th inst. on the contractor's trial of her engines. Her draught Of water was 22 feet forward, and 23 feet 7 inches aft; the mean revolutions were 64; mean speed, 10 knots six-tenths. Wind S.S.W., in force 6, with a disturbed sea. The vacuum was 25 inches, pressure of steam per square inch 201 b., which was well maintained. Her engines were made by Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and worked without a fault. The Russian frigate General-Admiral, Captain Schestakoff, having on board his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and his suite, left the Motherbank yesterday at 7 a.m. under steam for Cronstadt. His Imperial Highness em barked on board the General-Admiral from the Pier Hotel, Ryde, the previous evening. James Dunn, stoker of the screw steam-sloop Pioneer, who was severely scalded when the steam pipe burst on board, in Plymouth Sound, on the 30th ult., died at the Royal Naval Hospital on Sunday. At the inquest on Tuesday the verdict returned was—" That the deceased came by his death from injuries received during the late explo sion on board the Pioneer." Full particulars of this accident we published on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. For some time past frequent complaints have been made to the authorities connected with the convict establishment at Chatham of the practice in the dockyard, where several hundred convicts are daily' employed, of the workmen supplying the convicts with articles of a forbidden nature, in defiance of the rules against such a practice. ,Notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts have been resorted to to de tect the guilty parties, the secrecy with which the system has been carried on has hitherto baffled all these efforts. Yesterday morning, however, shortly after the men had entered the dockyard for their daily work, a labourer, named George Johnson, was detected by a warder in the very act of giving some tobacco to a man named William. Lemon Oliver, who, it will be remembered, was formerly a stock broker in the city of London, but was tried and sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude for forgery and misappropriation of certain shares. Johnson, who has for along time been suspected, was immediately taken before the magistrates at Rochester, when, the charge having been fully proved against him, he was fined the sum of £3, and in default one month's imprisonment ; in addition to which he loses his situation in the dockyard, which he has held for several years. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—J. W. F. Harvey, midship man, to the Edgar ; C. N. Hoare, midshipman, to the Trafalgar; B. G. De Landre, acting assistant surgeon, to the Diadem ; Dr. D. A. Money, assis tant-surgeon, to the Victory; and James M'lnnes, assistant-surgeon, to the Impregnable.

At Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussel» the current rate of discount is 3 per cent., at Hamburg it is lb and at Frankfort 2. We (the Mount Alexander Mail) have been fa voured with a copy of the following letter, addressed by a Chinaman in this district to a friend of his filling an official situation at Hong Kong. A Eu ropean to whom he communicated its contents, struck with its character, procured a copy from the writer, and with his consent handed it to us for publication : ,‘ To Ho A Loy, Chinese Interpreter, Chief Ma gistracy, Hong Kong. My dear take this opportunity of writ ing to you to let you know how I am doing here, to which place I came in a British ship 14 months ago, during which time I became well acquainted with the difficulties the Chinese have to encounter in this colony, and with the last act of injustice to wards them my heart was deeply chagrined. Therefore I beg to inform you of these matters, that you may make them known to our countrymen who wish to seek for gold in this country. The law givers have enforced a tax on each on larding in this port ; after this is paid and we land, then there are other taxes to be imposed upon us, namely, license, protection, and resident ticket. " Now, is not this a cruel law to exact from our poor and distressed countrymen, while foreigners from every part of the world can come and not be charged at all? We do not tax English people in China, and why should the Chinese be the only people whom the British Government tax and be have unjustly to ? Even those who come to Sydney, which is a free port, and a great number of them by their diligent feet travel overland to this place, which is many hundred miles, are met on the bor ders:of this district, and £4 demanded to admit them into the district, after which they must pay the beforementioned taxes or be dragged off to prison. How can these poor Chinamen pay this ? They are not prepared to meet such a demand, and therefore it comes upon them with a double rigour. The abovementioned are only part of our difficulties ; you see the lawmakers show but little kindness to wards us, unlike her Majesty Queen Victoria of England, in her merciful kindness to the Chinamen ; but, boasting of the authority placed in them by her Majesty, degrade her laws by such iniquitous acts, and render themselves odious and con- temptible ; yet they think to gain praise by such wickedness and enrich the colony : but God is good everywhere and will not allow such injus tice to pass unpunished, but will visit such acts with his displeasure. I have asked some intelligent men why the tax is only imposed on the Chinese, and not on the people of other nations. The answer that I received was, that China is the thickest po pulated country in the world, and if the Chinese were allowed to come freely here, this country would form a Chinese empire, and they would usurp the gold fields to themselves ; others, that we do not bring our wives and families, and when we get gold we leave here and seek for home and plea sures. All Europeans do not stay here, but make fortunes and return to their home countries,' I re plied, and hope to answer such arguments with all reasonableness. I said, As to our wives coming here, that would only make greater the one evil you complain of, by increasing the already large number of Chinese in this place ; but one great law of the Chinese nation is duty to parents, and our greatest:sage and philosopher, Confucius, says, As a son, be dutiful to your parents; as a brother , be brotherly to elder brothers ; and as a minister, be faithful to your prince.' Now, should we keep such laws and maxims if we neglect to return to our pa rents who sorrowfully part from us, and did we not leave our wives to comfort them and serve them while we seek to find in a rich laud the means to make their closing years happy ? Would this be right or filial duty, to forget those who are in many cases suffering from want that they might p give us the means to com e here . " Again, it is said our Chinese are an ignorant immoral set of heathens, and will contaminate the Europeans who are located here ; but is not such a charge unjust and untrue ? Who sees the Chinese drink, or what crime does he act that Europeans do not as bad? Drunkenness is everywhere about the land, and causes men and women to be degraded below the vile animals ; and if they were treated as others, and employed, being quick and submissive, would they not be found good farm servants ? And are they not skilled in gardening ? True, they are a nation of heathens, but are they likely to believe the Gospel when the Christian lawmakers and magistrates, by their cruel laws and oppressive acts, deny what the missionary teaches ? Jesus says, L ov e your neighbour as yourself;' and do these men obey the Great Maker and Saviour of the Chi nese as well as of all other nations in the world ? You will not have forgotten the Rev. Mr. Young, who was at Hongkong. H e i s most desirous and anxious to do good with our people here, but such cannot be, for they say no, what he preaches is lies, will not help him to build a place for the worship of God ; and I am told it is so on the gold fields. One of my schoolmates, a missionary, says it is a great difficulty to him, for he says they tell him his religion is bad, a n d Ch r i s ti ans are followers of the devil, not God, so it is hard to do good to our Chinese people. I, as you know, have held a Go vernment situation, and am a faithful adherent of her Majesty, yet I grieve for the sorrows and diffi- FRENCH RAILWAYS. M. Perdonnet, one of the directors of the Eastern Railway of France, has just published a volume entitled " Notions Generates sur les Chemins de Fer," in which he gives the following statistical details :—" The force of the locomotives at work on the railways in France amounts to 450,000 steam horse power, working one day out of three, and representing 1,900,000 ordinary horses, or 6.360,000 men working ten hours a•day. In the whole world there is on railways steam power to the extent of 4,160,000 horses, and after the completion of the lines now conceded, there will be 7,100,000. The annual distance performed by the locomotives on the whole globe is 884,790,000 kilometres (ths of a mile each) or 22,119 times round the globe and in a few years it will be 2,293,145,000 kilometres, or 57,329 times round the earth, 6,882 times the distance from the earth to the moon, and 15 times that from the earth to the sun. Mr. Stephenson, calculating the num ber of passengers conveyed on the English railways, and the saving of time which results from that rapid mode of travelling, established that the value of the time of a man being taken at 3f. 75c. a day, England profited in one year 50 millions of francs. M. Perdonnet has made a similar calculation, and finds that the profits realised in France is 37,500,000 f. The number of persons employed on the French railways is about 55,000, and in the whole world it is 600,000. A great number of other persons are, however, employed either directly or indirectly by the lines. The number of those who derive their livelihood in France on the lines may be estimated at half a million, and there is about the same number in England. When the complete French network shall have been completed, the number will be nearly doubled. As to accidents, M. Perdonnet proves that railways are of all modes of communication the least dangerous, and he shows it by calculations. It results from an inquiry made on this subject by the French Government that since the first opening of railways in France, the number of passengers killed, as compared to the number carried, is 1 out of 1,955,555, and that of wounded 1 out of 496,551 ; and that by the dili t of 3 g s e s 7 4 e 6 s 3, fr a o u n d i ItBh4e6 woundedto een Bs ao s nudt the loifn ovo2 k o l u l ot o e sof d s (2 1aN20V907.1:1 propor tion ln Belgium, according to official documents, there was in thirteen years and a half 1 killed out of 8 ,861,804, a G n r d and ab n ou o t eh l y w of ou ß n a d d still more in favour of railwaysthfolr outin six e f years' working there had been only 17,514,977 killed, and 1 out of 1,154 33wounded."
