Murdoch, Inspector of Machinery Afloat, and Mr. Miller, of the Steam Factory, were on board to superintend the trials. It will be remembered that the screw on the last trial had the leading corner of each blade cut off. On this 'occasion b o th corners of each blade were cut off. The average of six runs at the measured mile gave a speed of 12 knots ; number of revolutions 52. At the conclusion of the trial the Doris steamed into harbour, and made fast alongside the sheer jetty to unshipler screw. The Volcano paddlewheel steamer, Master Com mander Hockley, at Portsmouth, is expected to pay off to-morrow. The Eurydice (future sea-training ship for naval cadets) has been taken down. Portsmouth harbour, . and berthed at the mouth of Haslar Creek. The Falcon, 17, screw steam corvette, is coaling alongside the Malabar coal depot, prior to going out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead. The Pioneer, 6, screw steam despatch_vessel, has been moved out of the fitting basin to alongside the Pitch-house jetty, in Portsmouth harbour, ready for coaling. The Cadmus, 21, screw•corvette, Capt. H. S. Hill yar; C. 8., has proceeded down the river from Chat ham for the purpose of taking her coal on board previously to steaming round to Portsmouth. Up to the present time she has got a fine crew, but she is still several short of her complement, though there is no doubt she will pick up the remainder at Portsmouth. It is understood that she will proceed to join the Mediterranean squadron. The sere w s teamshipEitmouth;.9o, Capt. J. Step ford, left Plymouth Sound on Sunday afternoon for Portland. The paddlewheel steam gunboat Weser, Com mander A. H. I. Johnstone, is ordered to leave Plymouth for Woolwich where she will be paid off. The paddlewheel steam vessel Bann, from Wool wich, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday. She will go into harbour. The whole of the pensioners in the vessels in or dinary at Portsmouth were yesterday mustered at the Steam Reserve-office, for the purpose of ascer taining the number fit for sea service. The remain der were to continue on harbour duty. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry is now proceeding with great spirit, the • increase of the beunty to £5 and a free kit, together with the reduction of the standard to sft. 4in, for growing lads, having caused a considerable number of men to join at the headquarters of the various divisions. The officers commanding the several recruiting parties have been directed to use every exertion to enlist men, in order that the additional 2,000 men by which the Royal Marines is to be augmented may be speedily raised. Instructions for the management of open boats in heavy surfs and broken water, published by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, were yester day received at Woolwich, and ordered to be circu lated throughout the Royal Navy. The instructions are embodied in a small pamphlet, with which every officer commanding her Majesty's line-of-battle ships and transports is to be hereafter provided, and which has been approved by the Lords of the Admiralty.

NEW NOVEL BY MR. JEAFFRESON. On Friday, May 27, in 3 vols., MIRIAM COPLEY. By J. C.JEAFFRESON, Author of "Novels and Novelists," "Crewe Rise," &c. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Affica, Capt. Ander son, which sailed from Now York on the 11th inst., arrived here shortly carter noon to-day, bringing 174 passengers and. 1,648,975 dols. in specie. The steamer Anglo-Saxon, hence, arrived at Que bec, and the Adelaide, from Galway, at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the 9th inst., and the Kangaroo and Persia, hence, reached New. York on the morn ing of the 11th. Except as a reflex of the :warlike news from this side there is little intelligence of importance by this arrival. The New I ork Herald of the 11th says : " The European news created a great excitement in Wall street Knd other business streets yesterday. The effect on the talikers and foreign bill dealers, as well as on the pro dace merchants, was decidedly marked. Francs advanced to sf. 65., and were difficult to be had freely at that. Bankers showed an unwillingness to draw on London without a material increase in rates, and especially for sight bills. It was supposed that the Africa would take out a heavy amount of specie, which would have been materially augmented had time been allowed for its engageinent. "Underwriters have not as yet, we believe, proposed to issue war policies, being disposed probably to wait for later and more decided advices from abroad. Merchants, how ever, feel some hesitation in making shipments direct to Trieste, for fear of their exclusion by an embargo, even if free from articles contraband of war. "The cotton market yesterday continued inn dull state, or sort of suspended animation, and with little hope of any arrival or movement until the details of the foreign news, with the private advices due to-day by the Peohia, can be received. Only one or two hundred bales of cotton were sold to spinners. " The flour market was greatly excited, with a speculative movement, and the market closed at a further advance of 10 to 25 cents. per barrel. (The advance of the day before was 10 to 15 cents. per barrel.) The total sales reported yester day reached within the neighbourhood of, 30,000 barrels, one of the largest day's transactions of the season. Wheat was also in good demand, and closed at an advance of 3c. to sc. per bushel. Corn was firm and in good demand ; sales of yellow Jersey and Southern were made at from 95c. to 9Sc. Pork exhibited more buoyancy, and especially for prime and thin mess. New mess sold at 16 dole. 12c. to 16 dols. 25c. and old at 16 dole. Beef and lard were also firm and in fair demand. All the saltpetre in the market has been withdrawn to await events. Sugars and coffee were steady. Freight engagements were moderate and rates unchanged. Throughout the west, as we learn by telegraph, the war news has created great activity in the produce markets, with a considerable advance in prices." A Washington telegram says : "Our Government has sent despatches to our Minister in Chili with reference to the difficulties which recently oc curred there. They are understood to be very decided. The Government .does not claim that a consul's house is a place of refuge for political offenders, but, without approving altogether the conduct of Consul 'Trevitt, they at the same time require that his exequatur may be restored." Another despatch from the same authority says : "Lord Lyons had a protracted interview with the Secre tary of State on the 9th, in regard to Nicaraguan affairs. The amendment made to the Nicaragua treaty by the Go vernment of that country, to wit, that the United States shall execute their neutrality laws, is the same article which Sir William . Gore Ouseley has admitted into his treaty ; and the British Government object, as our Govern ment does, to any such provision, considering it a very undignified stipulation to be inserted in a treaty—that a Government should bind itself to execute its laws." The Derby favourite was firm at 9 to 4; 9to 2 was taken and offered about Musjid, and 20 to 1 was laid bar these two, Trumpeter being as good a third favourite as anything at the close. Mario- nette went to 33 to 1 offered, and Volcano to 50 to 1. EighWayman was at all sorts:of prices ; the final bet booked about him was 35 to 1. The betting on the Bath events was very limited. Trumpeter was backed at 5 to 4 for the Biennial Stakes, and 6 to 1 was offered on the field for the Somersetshire Stakes. Closing prices : G REAT WESTP,RII RAILWAY.

Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by:the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluttlble HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 18.54 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

Mr. John Laird, of the Birkenhead Ironworks, says—For some time past so much attention has been directed to the large amounts expended in building and maintaining the ships of the navy, that it may not be considered uninteresting to bring forward some of the advantages of substituting iron for wood in the construction of ships for war purposes. 1. Ships built of iron are stronger, more durable, and less costly to keep in repair, than those built of wood. 2. Iron in any quantity and of the exact scantling required can be procured on short notice from the manufacturers in this country. This will save the large outlay in timber and other materials which must now be kept in stock for seasoning, involving constant expenses, and occupying much valuable space in our dockyards. 3. On an emergency iron vessels may be built at the dockyards or by contract more rapidly than wood vessels, and without the risk of decay which is always incurred by using unseasoned timber. Iron lower masts and yards and wire standing rigging should also be substituted for wood masts and hemp rigging, as the former have been proved by many years' exporienoe to be more durable and efficient, and at the same time less costly, than the latter. It is true that many parties still make the same objections that were urged 20 or 30 years ago, and say that iron ships are untried. They certainly are comparatively untried for war purposes, but it is well known that iron vessels built more than 20 years ago, after doing very hard service, are still in good order, and that the majority of private ship owners are giving up the building of wood ships and adopting iron. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company abandoned the building of wood vessels many years ago, and the Royal Mail Company would have been much better off had they done so too, as they have lately had to condemn some of their wood vessels only a few years old, and have iron hulls con structed to receive the engines. This subject becomes of more importance every day. The experiments made with the new form of guns and projectiles have proved that neither iron nor wood vessels, as usually constructed, can with stand a broadside, and that to make them really efficient for war purposes they must be cased with thick armour plates, the weight of which is so great that it is practically impossible to apply them to a o w f o 6 o:1 0 - 0 b o ui t l o t n s s h , ip and at the same time insure the necessary strength, speed, and seagoing qualities. The Admiralty have so far admitted the truth of much a an. n experience this as to order one large iron screw steam frig ate nibeaonTmore, as it is clear that one such vessel cannot service‘vh ic 1 for no no af d v o 3a u c il operations. doubt, e w a r i lsl in ne building managingthe construction and reconstruction (as . • now called) of wood vessels is persevered that in, of money will b saved by the immedi ate adoption away which might be other country can e adoption of iron ; and as no tion of iron vessels , milh it on i s s compete with us in the construe maintain, but to increa seweshall be able, not only to we have hithert o the comparative superio ritynations in naval warfaroe.Possessed over all other TEE PORT OF TRIESTE. The following correspondence appears in the Manchester Guardian : " 4, Cooper-street, Manchester, May 18, 1859. " Dear Sir,—You will be fully aware of the very animated commercial intercourse between this com munity and the free port of Trieste, and without entering into a detailed explanation on the impor tance of the same to themerchants of our city,we beg to appeal to your kind offices to ascertain from the Secretary of Foreign Affairs on behalf of this our commercial community at large, whether any offi cial assurance or explanations have been received from the French Government that they will con sider the free port of Trieste as belonging to the German Confederation, and will consequently allow merchandise in ships sailing nude? the English flag, and not carrying contraband of war, to enter. the said free port unmolested. It appears to us most probable that assurances to this effect have been reccing from tjAar ' efulGu i e,rmnent in order to frustrate any pretenceof the' man Confedera tion to take a hostile part against France in the present war ; and we hope that the Secretary of Foreign Affairs will be at liberty to answer the above question, and thus to confer a great boon upon a large proportion of the commercial commu nity of this country. " If your efforts to procure the above information should be successful, you will, by giving same pub licity, confer a great favour upon the commercial men of this community. " Pray excuse us troubling you with this re quest ; and believe us, dear sir, yours most respect fully, (Signed) " HERMANN, SAMSON, & LEPPOC. " J. A. Turner, Esq., M.P." " Manchester, May 18, 1859. "My dear Sir,—l have just received a letter from Messrs. Samson and Leppoc, of this city, which I take the liberty of inclosing. These gentlemen, as well as many other mercantile firms in this district, are largely engaged i n transactions with the merchants and manufacturers of Ger many through the free port of Trieste, and are naturally anxious to ascertain whether any assurances have been received from the French Government that vessels sailing under the British flag, and not carrying arti c l es contra b an d o f war, will be unmolested on entering the said port. " Any information which you are able to give me on this subject will be very acceptable to many of my constituents, and will be considered a great favour by myself.—l remain, my dear sir, yours very faithfully, " J. ASPINALL TURNER. " E. Hammond, Esq., Foreign-office, London." " Foreign-office, May 20, 1859. " Sir,—l have laid before the Earl of Malmes bury your letter of the 18th inst., enclosing a letter from Messrs. Samson and Leppoc, requesting you to ascertain whether any official assurances or ex planations have been received from the French Government that they will consider the free port of Trieste as belonging to the German Confederation, and will, consequently, allow merchandise or ships, sailing under the English flag, and not carrying contraband of war, to enter the said free port un molested. " I am to state to you, in reply, that her Majesty's Government have received no such explanations or assurances from the French Government ; on the other hand, they have received no intimation of the port of Trieste being placed under blockade.—l am, sir, your Most obedient, humble servant, " E. HAMMOND. " J. Aspinall Turner, Esq., M.P." COLONIZATION AND SETTLEMENT OF INDIA.— On the Bth of February the late House of Commons was pleased to order that a select committee be appointed to in quire into the progress and prospects and the best means to be adopted for the promotion of European colonization and settlement in India, especially in the hill districts and healthier climates of that country, as well as for the exten sion of our commerce with Central Asia. The committees report appeared yesterday in the shape of a blue-book. They say that the sudden dissolution of the late Parliament put a stop to the inquiries of the committee, and precluded the adoption of any final report ; they recommend, there fore, the formation of another committee on the meeting of the new Parliament. The minutes of evidence are given at length. The witnesses examined include the names of Dr. Hooker, Colonel H. B. Turner, Mr. G. H. Fenwick, Mr. H. J. Baillie, Mr. Ross D. Mangles, Mr. Alexander Forbes, Lieut.-Colenel Hamilton Vetch, Mr. J. B. Barry, Mr. P. Sanders, Mr. J. Dewar, Captain F. Haig, Mr. E. B. Underhill, and Mr. E. N. Hudson!, SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—The abandon ment of the ship Ouzel Galley, of and for Dublin, with a valuable cargo of sugars, was announced on Saturday, at Lloyd's. She was from Trinidad, and on the first of last month, when in lat. 33.43, lon. 54.18, she encountered a severe hurricane from the N.W. She was struck by a tremendous sea, which killed the man at the wheel, Robert Owen, a native of Dublin; broke both thighs of the chief officer, fractured the legs of a seaman, and injured Captain Halpin and two of the crew. The same sea washed the captain overboard, but his legs getting entangled in the chains of the wheel he was rescued from drowning. The ship sustained considerable damage. She sprung an exten sive leak and lost hermaintopmast, mizenmast, and jibboom; the bulwarks were stove; the atter hatch broke away, allowing the sea to get into the hold, and the wheel was demolished. The ship continued in the most critical posi tion, and, fortunately, on the 4th, the Ann E. Hooper, from Liverpool for Baltimore, appeared in sight, and suc ceeded in taking off the crew, who were in a very exhausted condition. The ship and cargo are reported to. have been heavily insured. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BIGAMY.—The cap tain of a merchant vessel, named Lightbody, was brought up at the Liverpool poliFe-coFt yesterday, charged with a ttempting to shoot his wife with a pi s t o l . It transp i re d i n the defence that the prismer had learnt that his wife had been married three times previously to husbands who were still living, which led to a quarr e l b etween them. The cer tificates of two marriages were produced, and a remand was solicited, in order that the third m i ght be produced, which was granted. The State and War Departments at Washington had made up their instructions for the officials in Utah in regard to the new difficulty which has arisen there. General Johnston is instructed to hereafter await the orders of the Governor before calling out the troops to act as a posse conzitatus to assist the civil authorities in enforcing the laws. A fire at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, had destroyed no less than ten steamers. The loss is estimated at 155,000 dollars. The Black River Woollen Mills, at Watertown, New York, had also been destroyed byfire, involving a loss of 40,000 dollars. By the arrival of the overland mail at St. Louis, and the steamship Coatzacoalcos, of the Tehauntepec line, at New Orleans, we have news from San Fran cisco to the 20th ultimo, and later advices from Oregon and the Fraser River gold regions. The steamer which left San Francisco ou the 20th had on board 1,700,00'0 dols. in treasure. The accounts from the mines were favourable, and business was improving. The Californian Legislature had passed tie bill forming the six lower counties of the State into a new territory, to be called Colorado, and sent it to the Governor for approval. 100,000 dols. in gold had reached San Francisco from Victoria. The news from the Upper Fraser was said to be encou raging, but the lower country was nearly deserted. The advi,•oe from Vera Cr.. are to the Ltst Inst. Juarez had issued a general exequatur to all United States Consuls. The English and French fleets were to leave Sacrificios on the 2d inst. There is no news from the capital. Advices from. Acapulco to the 27th ult. state that the Liberals had, captured San Bias, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, and Colmna. We have news from the republic of Honduras, dated at Truxillo, on the 22d ult. Considerable excitement had prevailed at Omao and Truxillo, owing to the arrival of two Spanish vessels of war for the purpose of demanding the release of the Spanish brig Franco, which had been detained by the authorities for refusing to pay certain charges and export duties. It appears that Honduras has a new law, by which Spanish vessels in her ports are liable to the same charges as are imposed on vessels of Honduras visiting ports of Cuba. After an exchange of notes between the Spanish naval commander and the authorities the brig was allowed to proceed to sea, but without a cleara nce , an d w ith a protest of he r being taken away by force. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yonx, MAY 11. Stocks are unsettled, with a tendency all round to lower prices. The European troubles strengthen the hands of the bears, as also the generally unfavourable reports of the railroad earnings for April. Panama and Pacific Mail are temporarily damaged by the award of a contract for carrying the mails by the Nicaragua route The latter was very buoyant on Saturday last, with an advance of 5 per cent., 2 per cent. of which, however, has since been lost. In federal securities there is not much doing at the board. State bonds shared in the general depression. The money market bears up under the European panic with remarkable steadiness. Borrowers had to pay rather higher rates; at the same time there was nothing like an approach to scar city, and, with a fair demand, no difficulty was experienced in obtaining almost any amount on prime securities at 4 to 5 per cent. on call. The most noticeable features in the Bank statement for last week were the unexpected falling off in the specie reserves and the equally unex p ec t e d in crease in the loans and discounts. The circulation item is also materially extended.

MAIDSTONE, May 19.—Our plantations have, since the recent kindly rains, put on a somewhat better appearance, but the bine geherally is very weak and spindling. The Goldings look much better than the other kinds. The Joneses are very bad. We have received similar returns from many parishes in our neighbourhood. Among them the following : AYLESFORD.—Our bine is in many places very weak, and unless we have a great change of weather our chances will be small. ADDINGTON.-Our Joneses are in very poor con- tion ; the bine generally is extremely Weak. The rains have as yet effected very little improvement. ALLINGTON.—We observe a slight difference in our hops since the late showers. The bine im proves in some of the more forward rounds. BARMING.—Our more forward bine is looking better, but there is much to be done before the weak bine looks anything at all. Many hills have quite missed. The weather has, up to the last day or two, been very much against us. THE FARLEions.—We are doing about as well as our neighbours, and that is very little. The bine is very slight and short. EAST AND WEST MALLING.--At present We are looking very queerly; our weak bi ne is bade indeed, and the more forward bine is no t much better. The weather has been lunch a ga inst us. Generally the bine is platty and uneven. WATERINGBURY.—OUr hop gardens look very backward ; weak, platty, and thin bine is fonnd on most of the hills, and the weather must be very much warmer before they will do anything towards a crop. LENHAM.—The hop bine looks very thin ; the cold weather has retarded the growth to a consi derable extent, CirARING.—We are doing very badly here; the bine does not look at all healthy, and is very un even ; warm weat her iluN is T much required. YALDING AND ON.—Our Geldings are get ting on very well, , showing a goo d h ea lthy -looking bine. The "Jones ' thus far. and grapes are doing b ut badl y Ewnuast—llop-poling is now brought to a conclusion. very backward great portion of the bi ne is in a state. Our plantation since last season has decreased about 40 Wes in Sussex Express. this parish. (From the Daily News.) It has pleased God to close the Mysterious and afflicting spectacle which the reign of Ferdinand of Naples has so long offered to the world. After exhausting the virtue of relics innumerable in a lingering and loathsome disease, that Monarch died on the afternoon of Sunday, the 22d inst., having reigned 29 years. The reign of Ferdinand may be divided into two parts—the period of normal Bourbon absolutism, and the period of revenge. As for the first, the late King himself explained its principle in a letter to King Louis Philippe, who had counselled him to govern with • nuYie moderation. " Liberty," he wrote, " is fatal to the Bourbons, and I am deter mined not to incur the fate of Charles X. My subjects do not want to think or reflect. Our family does not belong to this century ; we are ancient, and if we adopted modern notions we should be ridiculous." Accordingly, after a few illusory signs of lenity, displayed at the period of his accession, Ferdinand commenced an era of political persecutions, proscriptions, and executions. The infamous Del Carretto made chief of the police, was permitted to attach every department of the Government to his office, while all the moral influ ences of the Statewere made over to the Jesuits and the priests. Between 1832 and 1847 seven attempts at insurrection were made. Criminal pro cedure became more vigorous and cruel, the use of torture in prison become frequent, and members of the noblest families fled into voluntary exile to avoid aecusations which were easily made; but which it was almost impossible to repel. In one day Ferdinand signed the death warant of eleven political prisoners. Urged by the events of 1848 to do something for his safety, the King proclaimed a constitution, and sent au army and fleet to join the Italian cause. The army was recalled just as it reached the frontiers of Lombardy, and before it had struck a blow in the cause of liberation ; the Admiral of the Fleet, it is now known, had orders to avoid any collision with the Austrians; and the constitution was employed as a trap to entice men to free speech. A feline cunning pervaded the acts of Ferdinand during the revolutionary period. He might then be seen kissing and offering cigars to the patriots and statesmen whom he was about to consign in a few months to the Most horrible of dungeons,, and the companionship of murderers, upon the evidence of men o f k nown i n f amy, suborned as accusers. Mr. Gladstone has described for the world the kind of civil and judicial adminis tration which followed the overthrow of represen tative government. It was not mere imperfection, corruption, or occasional severity, but incessant, systematic, deliberate violation by the Executive of every law, human and divine. The Government, he told us, was "in bitter and cruel, as well as illegal, hostility to whatever in the nation really lives and moves, and is the mainsp r i ng o f pract i cal improvement and progress." The consequence was " - a total inversion of all the moral and social ideas." Men said of the Government, " This is the negation of God erected into a system." And this Govern. ment was no other than the personal will of the King. For nine years has the deadly feeling of revenge been quick and lively in the heart of that most cruel of Monarchs ; and while he lay on his death-bed, beseeching the blessing of the Pope, :twenty thousand of his subjects lay in prison charged with political offences. It is fearful enough to think of the victims o? a monarch pining in prisons while he is abroad in his strength and pride at the head of his forces perhaps, or announcing his pleasure to the officers of his State ; but it is worse to think of his victims so suffering while he is sinking into the grave, keep ing the locks and bars of their prison fast, using his failing faculties in devising mental troubles for them, and rousing his energies to evade the de mands of an outraged world, when they can no longer endure the thoughts of what he has inflicted. The cries of bereaved families, the pangs of wise and noble men whose lives he has ruined, the stern whispers of brother despots whose order he has disgr aced, the muttered curses of his own subjects, the shout of execration from all free nations—all these fail to make him penitent, to make him re morseful, to make him even human in that hour when all men are supposed to be alike, and the power of each to be vanishing, like the sunshin e wh..i tha - cun i s disappearing beloNi: the horizon. Not the most hardened, besotted lover of power can, however, much relish the image of this last stage of it. However it may be when the moment arrives, the anticipation of a dying hour disturbed by malignant wishes, darkened by curses, and hailed as the close of an evil period, must be dreadful to the most hardened despot that the world ever bore. The cruel are, it is true, the most selfdeceptive of men ; and of all cruel men, Bourbon Kings of that character of mind are perhaps the most apt in fail ing to see themselves as others see them : but, amidst all that the self-interest of relatives and the adulation of courtiers can do, there is something supremely horrible in the farewell which an out raged human race bids to a solitary pilgrim enter ing the dark valley. Th e Ki ng of Naples knew what a part at least of the world thought of him and his use of povr. He knew what we , th e people of Engl an d, Ihought of his victims, and therefore of himself. However be might fix his mind pertinaciously on the duty of sovereigns to override all meaner men, he was aware what sovereigns and meaner men alike thought of his way of doing it. He knew that his death had been long desired ; he believed, whether truly or not, that it was constantly sought : he was aware that when the news of his being no more should spread from his chamber to every point of the compass, there would arise every conceivable sound of rejoicing—from the half-breathed thanksgiving to Heaven, to the curi ous inquiry of distant tribes and nations about the qualities of the monster of whom the world was rid. It is an awful fate. All common tokens of popular are trifles in comparison with the curse which has blighted the last days of the King of Naples, and the emotions of hope and joy which render his funeral the gayest spectacle on which the eyes of his people have ever rested. There are some who will be wise not to struggle against the light which this event should naturally shed into their minds. Which of the kings of the earth wishes that his latter end may be like this ? And how far is it probable that any one of them should leave the world in such a way? Alexander of Russia knows that a bitter cry of grief would go up from all the serfs of his em pire if he were to die before he has done what he intends for them. Let him redeem his pledge, and live for others as well as the serfs, and he need fear no mingling of joy in the tone with which his dirge will be sung. Future Kings of Prussia may share the security of British sove reigns, and the privilege of being loved and mourned for their good qualities, while they cannot inflict the horrors which procure a nation's curse. Austrian rulers have had too much sympathy with those of Naples, and stand perilously near to the same fate. There is a bust of the'late Emperor Francis at Mila n , w hi c h i s a sort of fetish to the hatred of his victims—whom he had a fancy to call his children. This bust is inscribed " Our Father Francis;" and deep growls of wrath have been the response, for many a long year, to the impudence of this challenge. " A pretty father he was to me! " says the Sp ie lb erg captive as he passes by. The present Empe ror is young ; but the youn gest man's deathbed i s w ithi n his ken. Let the ally o f King Bomba c ons id er now what is before hi s eyes, Area nl interpret the so un d s w hi c h gr eet his ears, there sufferers within his dominions whom his Government is making wretched —any Italians— , any Hungarians —any . Protestants whom he has delivered over to the priests ? MB. B URFORD'S PANORAMA. A picture of Benares, so celebrated as the metro polis of BrahalitlisM, is now exhibited in Leicester square. For so many years hal l Mr. Burford gone on producing panoramas of uniform excellence, and so well is his perfect execution of happily-chosen sabjects appreciated by the public, that all opinion on each new picture might be conveyed in the brief assertion that he is "as good as ever." The archi tectural details, the distances, the water, the com position, are always admirable, and when he and Mr. Selous advertise a fresh work everybody in London goes to see it, in perfect confidence that he will become,acquainted with some interesting spot under circumstances most favourable. However, to utter something in the way of opinion, we would call attention to the exquisiite finish of the pellucid water in the last picture. The numerous objects beside it and upon it cause it to reflect all sorts of hues, but the difference between shadow and reality is wonderfully preserved, and it is almost impossibleainted to divest oneself of the belief that the p stream is veritably liquid. The following circular, relative to the treatment of volunteers from the Merchant Service to the Royal Navy, has just been issued by the Admiralty. In The present conjuncture it will be read with in terest by those anxious for the welfare of the ser vice : " Sir ' —Her Majesty h av i ng b een grac i ous l y pleased to invite the sailors of the merchant service to join her Majesty's Navy, in order that this coun try and its commerce may be adequately protected under the varying circumstances of a war in Europe, I am commanded by my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that the men who loyally accept the invitation dese rve a cordial reception fr om the profession that has sought them. " It must be borne in mind that men, on first joining the Rovil N ill ha trarv, an expectation prevail that these men will be able suddenly to accommodate themselves to the necessary restraints of a ship of war, and if a harsh attempt be made to compel their immediate con formity to these restraints, they will feel they have been unfairly and unwisely treated. Such a feeling would be most unfortunate. " These considerations alone would seem suffi cient to secure to such seamen a proper solicitude for their contentment ; but the impression produced upon the merchant seamen, onthe present occasion, must have a very important influence in times to come. If they be not cordially received and kindly treated, the unfortunate repugnance for the Navy that so long prevailed will be strengthened and perpetuated, to the irreparable injury of the na tional interests. " The presence of these merchant seamen in her Majesty's ships should not only be a source of pre sent strength, but, by securing their regard for the service, it should be the means of spreading a simi lar feeling among the whole seafaring population of our islands. " Those whose duty it may be to instruct the men should be firm, but they should also be patient and forbearing. The men should be taught the neces sity for their exercises and to take an interest in them accordingly. Steadiness at quarters and pre cise firing are the first steps towards efficiency, and s ib lee to at once the of f icers about the next is a silent and seamanlike performan ce o f other duties, without aiming at great rapidity. The newlythi nformed a -raise diremya men rre ofthe are es tpe regulations to n b epro perlyloh;n clad,and and of their divisions for the condition of their kits. Each man is to be at once shown his mess-place, he and his sleeping b er th, an d where is to stow his bag; and a hammock, clews, and lashing are to be given him. The usages of a lower . deck, the cus toms and routine of the service, and the pay, pen sions, and badges to which seamen are entitled, must be explained to him. He is to be told to whom he should apply in the event of his requiring advice or information, and that if he should have a complaint to make, he must represent it to the officer of the watch, and if necessary, through him to the captain of the ship. " He should he shown how to sling and lash up his hammock, to wash and dress himself for quar ters, to wash his clothes, and to scrub his hammock, so that they may be thoroughly cleaned ; also how to stop them on the girt lines so that they may not be lost. "These things and others of the same character are to be taught without delay to men on first entry, in order that they may adapt themselves readily and with satisfaction to a ship of war. "It must be u nderstood, however, that the fore going instructions giva no sanction to a relaxation of that discipline which should prevail at all times, and which is essential to the efficiency of the ser vice, and the comfort and well-being of the men. Having pointed out the spirit in which men who for the first time join the Royal Navy are to be treated, and having called attention to some details in illustration of the manner in which they should be initiated, my Lords rely upon the officers of the fleet to turn to good account the opportunity that has been afforded for dispelling the aversion for the Navy which the merchant service have conceived from traditional misrepresentations of the Queen's service. " Their Lordships desire that you will direct the commanding officers of the ships under your order s to make known the fordgoing instructions t the executive commissioned officers and officer s i„ chargeiof decks, and the commanding officers cers are to take care that all the warrant and subordinate officers conform themselves thereto, am, Si r , your most obedient servant, "W.
