THE SUN, LONDON, SATITRDAy EVENINeI. NOVEMBER is, 1816 METROPOLITAN GRAVE-YARDS. Mr. G. A. Walker, a surgeon, and the author of several works on metropolitan sepulture, commenced the first of a series of lectures, last evening, at the Me ehanies' Institution, Southampton -buildings, on the moral and physical effects arising from the practice of interring the dead in the midst of the living. He said, it seemed strange that in the middle or the nineteenth century—in the capital of the civilised world—in a count", distinguished for its respect for public decency, for high moral feeling, and, above all, for its profession of Christian principles—any necessity should exist fer an appeal against a practice which inevitably led to re sults that inflicted deep injury on public morals, and which was highly detrimental to the health of the community. Yet such was the fact. Scarcely a day passed without their witnessing the most revolting violations of the sanctuaries of the dead ; whilst the hundreds of burytng places in this large me tropolis, permitted to exist in the midst of its living population, were so many centres of infection, labora tories of malaria, whence issue most offensive and deadly compounds, the gaseous products of human putrefaction, the food, if not the principle, of malignant disease and premature death. As Christians they were called upon to crush, and for ever, a system that necessarily entailed and imposed the daily execution of deeds, from the per petration of which barbarians would recoil with abhor rence—as men, as members of a civilised community, it was their duty to remove constantly increasing causes of discomfort, disease, and frequently inconceivable suffering ; existing more especially among their poorer brethren, whose poverty, and whose avocations too frequently compelled them to reside in localities where th,e evil was most prominent—where the burying places, rAtblic and private, were more numerous and most dangerously surcharged. He had employed, during many years, every legitimate means for the pur pose of effecting this great moral and sanatory reforma tion, and his object in commencing this series of lectures was in the hope that at their conclusion, sympathies newly awakened, and judgments more fully informed, might result in such an expression of opinion, as should convince all but the unduly prejudiced or the deeply in terested, that the confidence of a too generous public might neither be systematically abused nor insulted with inpunity, and that ere long they would demand from the Legislature the complete abolition of a system which weighed down the energies of the strong, imperilled the life of the weak, and lowered the standard of vitality in the aggregate population. After disclaiming that he was actuated by any personal motive in entering on his cru sade against interment in populous cities, and indig nantly denying the charge imputed to him, that he had made a vile attempt to impose upon the public and the Legislature in the books he had written on the subject, and by the evidence given by him before a Parliamentary Committee, appointed to investigate the subject, he went on to illustrate by unmistakeable data, the condition of many of the grave-yards of London, and the evils which they had caused, and were causing, to those located in their vicinity. There was scarcely a single grave-yard vault, or receptai,le for the dead, in London, that was not over-charged ; they were not under any superintendence, and large profits were derived from -them bodies were mutilated and destroyed in various stages of decomposition in order to make room for others. The mortality in London annually might be computed at 52,000, or 260,000 in five years, which was the lowest possible period which should be allowed for the destruc tion of the hiiman body in graves. An acre of ground contained 43,580 square feet, which, divided by 32, the number of square feet required for a single adult interment, would give 1,361 as the number of spaces let for graves in an acre of ground. If the burying grounds of London, some of which had been in use for centu riee, contained only eighty acres, portions of which had been pre-occupied by monuments, tomb-, headstones, &e., this space would receive l 09,00) bodies, which would leave, in five years, 151,000 bodies to be disposed of, or in other words, uninterred—hence had resulted the mutilation of bodies and the destruction of their cof fins ; and the same system prevailed in most of the ether large towns of the empire. The statistics which the lecturer furnished proved, that the churchyards of London are just so many masses of human corruption, that num bers had died from simply inhaling the gaseous dis charge, and that the time had long since arrived when interment in London, and all crowded cities, should be strictly forbidden by the Legislature, and . the dead in terred in cemeteries in the suburbs. Mr. Walker was attentively listened to and applaud( d by a numerous and sympathising audience. THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION OF GENERAL FLORES TO THE EQUADOR. The Lords of the Treasury having directed the legal process to be proceeded with against the Glenelg India man, and the Monarch and Neptune steam-ships, which were intended to take part in the proposed expedition of General Flores to the Equador, the following particu lars relating to the contemplated invasion may be read with interest:— In the early part of June the directors of the General Steam Navigation Company were applied to for the sale of two of their powerful steamers, and eventually two were disposed of, viz., the Monarch and the Neptune. About the same time application was made from the same quarter to Mr. Green, the owner of the Glenelg, and which was then lying in the East India Docks, for its purchase, which was also effected. The pur chase money was paid, and they wore consigned to a Captain Chararete, who formerly was a marine captain in the East India Company's service. Their complete repair was immediately proceeded with, the utmost expedition being used in getting them ready fur sea. They were represented to be fins foreign service, and that the Glenelg would be employed as an emigrant ship. The unusual description of work for the merchant's service mmsetioned in the shipwright's con tracts excited at therirme much attention, but similar work having been done to other vessels in the dock, and sanctioned by the English Government, the sus picions created by the fitting of the Glenelg and the steamers passed away. About the beginning of Sep tember, however, the fact of a Colonel, who had served under General Flores in Columbia, being in London, atithorised, as it was said, to engage men to aid the Spaniards in a certain expedition, and also to grant commissions to officers with tho same view, greeted more specific suspicions as to the purposes for which the vessels were intended. By the following month facts had tranapired which tended to confirm previous suppo sitions; and en the 20th of that month, Lord Palmerston regeived a protest in respect to them, signed by Baring Bs-others and Co., and the principal firms in the City. And subsequently a second protest was forwarded from the president of the Manchester Commercial Association, embodying the same facts. To this protest a reply was received, which has been already published, announcing that the attention of the Government was directed to the subject; and in fact rneasares were immediately taken to ascertain the truth of the alleged suspicions. The Customs were directed to institute inquiries, and several of the most active officers connected with the detective police force were erplinyed in the proceeding. A few days' exertion suf fito warrant the interference of the Government. 'The principals were watched from place to place, and equitinents of a most warlike character were proved to among their prepaTationr. The fitting out of the vessel proceeded with much celerity, and they were appointed to leave on last Thursday. From some unexplained circumstance the steamers did not leave on that day. The Glenelg, howeverg_ sailed down the river, and took up the usual moorings off Gravesend. At this juncture, it appears, the Government had directed the detention o f th e vessel, and in the course of the evening Mr. Forsayth, the principal jerquer of the Customs, accompanied by a staff of officers, boarded her, and seized her under the Equipment and Enlistment Act, the 59th of Geo. 111., cap. 69, fur being unlawfully equipped, with out the sanction of her Majesty, for the purpose of com mencing hostilities against a foreign power. There were on board, besides the ship's company (which ap peared only to be .half-manned), 250 young men, who seemed to have been recently in the most destitute con dition. The officers who had charge of the vessel frankly admitted that the men had enlisted to become either soldiers or marines, and that she was to touch at Corunna. To a casual observer the vessel appeared to have been fitted out as an ordinary emigrant ship, but closer inspection showed that the arrangements were very rudely put together. She is a very large vessel, being 1,200 tons burden. She has three decks, and certainly in the present state may be more properly termed a transport ship than one in the emigrant trade. No am munition was found by the Government officers, but of course it is difficult to state what she may really hold while her cargo is cleared out. Since her seizure the Lords of the Treasury have ordered her return to Black wall for that purpose. The steamers were seized on Friday on behalf of the Crown, by Mr. Forsayth, and on inspecting:them there can be no doubt of the purposes for which they were intended ; they have been entirely new rigged and altered to carry guns of large calibre. Since the detention of the three ships the Lords of the Treasury have received a petition from Captain Chararete (who was eventually to be appointed as the Admital of the fleet), soliciting their restitution, assert ing that they were his own property, that he had fitted them out as a matter of speculation, he intended to take them to the 9past of Spain, an the to dispose of them at the best advantage to hims d elf. er The result of the application has not transpired. The is every reason to believe that a lar g e amount of amsunition and guns have already been shipped, not only in the Thames, but at Liverpool and Southampton, for the coast f Spain. Even as late as last Saturday week a vessel assuming French colours left the river from Erith, with 3,0001b5. of gunpowder, her papers stating her to be for Cabe. Shoald the vessels be proved to be of the description suspected, they will not only be confiscated to the Crown, but the owners aro liable to imprisonment and fine. General Flores is at present in London. SALAiti,ES Or THE DATAxim.—We are much gratified i being able to announce, that an increase of the salaries the Dayanira (of 601. each per annum) has just been , i n aninaonsty recommended by the Board of the Conjoint Committee of the three City Synagogues to their re spec'© comcgamities. No doubt is entertained that this reconinierEatiaa which we are happy to learn was atuon ed gly supikort, the Rev. the Chi e f R a bbi, w ill b e atet to by the above Synagogues. As our humble efforts in urging the claims of the Eayanim in several leading articles on "Our Ecclesiastical Courts" have been instrumental to the furtherance of the above reso lution, we derive a double pl easure from the prom pt response made to an appeal, eman a ti ng from a sen se of justice, and reverence for our religious institutions.— Jewish Chronicle. SINGULAR IMPORTATION. A vessel arrived at Liverpool has brought, in addition to a general cargo of dried fruits, five tons weight of locusts. This appears to li . ie . a very singular article of importation, but the purport of *be same is not apparent. RAILWAY FARES. The following are extracts from the evidence printed, together with the second report from the Select Commit tee on Railway Acts Enactments. It illustrates the fare system abroad as well as at home. The first extracts are from the testimony of W. Reed. Esq. Will you now state the rates charged upon the Paris and Rouen Railway ?—For first class passengers we charge 16 francs, which may be called 125. 9d.; that is 1 8-10 d. per mile. Including how much luggage ?--Fifteen kilogrammes; 30 pounds. What is the charge for passengers' laggage exceeding 30 pounds ?—Six francs the 100 kilogrammes, which is about 2s. 6d. a hundred. Is not that much less than is now allowed upon the new lines ?—Yes ; on new lines the quantity of luggage allowed is doubled. What is the fare by the second class ?—The second class is 13 francs, which is 105. 4fd.; and that is about 1-46 d. per mile English. What luggage is allowed for the second class ?—The same quantity. Are those second-class passengers carried in closed carriages ?—ln closed carriages, which are lined, glazed, and cushioned. What are the third class ?—The third class we charge 10 francs, which you may call Bs., that is, I-13d., a little more than a penny and a tenth. What luggage do you allow the third-class passengers? —The same. What description of carriages ?—Open carriages ; at present entirely open. With seats ?—With seats, but no curtains and no roof. Then we send also third-class passengers by our goods trains, and we charge those people 6 francs, which is 4s. 91d. for the whole distance, which is at the rate of two thirds of a penny per mile, as nearly as possible. What is the difference of speed between your goods trains and the other trains ?—We are about six hours going by the goods trains, and four by the others, so that we can carry 80 miles for 4s. 91d. Do the goods trains start during the daytime, as other trains ?—They start at one o'clock in the day. Have you as many of those trains as you have of others ?—No, we have only one in the day ; all the rest of our goods go at night. They are essenti ally goods trains. We are as particular about our goods trains in France as we are about passenger trains. There is one starts about one o'clock in the day. Does it load very much ?—Not very much. What luggage is allowed' to the third-class passengers by the goods trains ? The same luggage in all cases. Are your rates higher than upon the Orleans line ? I think they are higher than upon any new railway in France. It is right that I should state that these are the rates from end to end of the line ; but we felt it ex pedient, about a twelvemonth ago, to lower those rates for the first 35 miles out of Paris, and the intermediate stations, and also for the first 18 or 19 miles out of Rouen, so as to give to the inhabitants of those large towns an opportunity of going cheaply comparatively short distances - take the instance from Paris to Mai sons ;itis 17 kilometres. We are allowed to charge 10 centimes a kilometre, and the fare, therefore, would be 1 franc 70 centimes. Instead of that we take now 1 franc 25 centimes ; in round numbers it comes to 10 miles for Is., and, therefore, it is 1 2-101 a mile for . the second-class passengers going ten miles out of the metropolis. The intermediate distances we have also lowered, more especially those near to the two termini. You think it is no advantage to the Rouen line to have a higher rate of charge than the Orleans ?—I think not; of course it remains to be tried ; my own opinion is that it is not an advantage. With a line to Caen charging Orleans prices, it would not be practicable to continue the higher charges upon the Rouen ?—No ; I think there is an understanding that we shall eharge the lower rates for all passengers join ing us at Caen, and if it comes to that we shall of course have to do it for the whole. Then the charge will be uniform for all the great lines in France ?—Yes ; I think the French Government have come to this conclusion, that they will have ono tariff for passengers on all the lines ; and if the traffic on some lines is not sufficiently remunerative the 3 will make it up in some other way, either by making part of the rail way at their own cost, or lending or giving a sum of money, so as to make it worth while to carry passen gers at that price. You mean that they intend to have a maximum rate for all lines ?—Yes. They would not object to the company's reducing their rates ?—No, if any one would be weak enough to take a railway without remuneration, I dare say they would not object to that ' • but all laws for making rail ways in France emanate from the Government, and are founded upon estimates of the cost and traffic previously ascertained. If they found that it was not likely to be remunerative at those prices, they would give something to make it so. What do they consider a remunerative rate of interest to the parties ?—From five to six per cent. Will you now state what classes of persons you are obliged to carry, by the law applicable to your line, at a less price than your ordinary rate ?—We are obliged to carry the military at half-price. And the military going in bodies at a less price still ? —No, that is so in subsequent concessions, but does not apply to the Rouen Railway. Under article 43, solders and sailors going singly upon the public service must be carried at half-price ?—Yes. Yon have had experience of the different systems which prevail on the lines of railroad in France and in England ; it is your opinion that the fares on the lines of railroad in this country are higher than are necessary for a profit?—Yes, I have always been of that opinion. Do you think that if the fares had been lower the lines would have been as profitable, or even more so, than they have in fact been?—l believe they woukl have been more profitable. From your experience should you say that it was wise on the part of railway companies to discourage third class passengers, by placing them in uncom►ortable car riages?—No, the experience which I have had in France goes directly to destroy that notion, if I had ever enter tained it. When we first opened the Rouen line, having been always bound to take third-class carriages, we put third-class carriages to two trains a day only. The Government insisted upon it that by the law we ought to attach them to every train. We con tested that doctrine, and we went on contesting it I suppose for nearly twelve months; during those twelve months we merely took third-class passengers by two trains a day ; ultimately we began to alter our opinion, and to think it would be better to attach third-class car riages to every train. We did so, and we have gone on increasing the number of passengers and our receipts ever since. We opened the railway on the 9th of May, 1843 ; up to the 31st of December of that year we took of first-class passengers, 73,811 ; of second class passen gers, 251,250 ; and of third-class passengers, 99,C82. During that time there were only two-third-class trains running daily ?—Exactly ; in the beginning of the year, 1844 we began to attach third-class carriages to each train ; we took in that year 108,170 first-class passengers, second-class 332,296, and third class 341,844. [n the following year we took first-class passengers 120,568, second class 434,343, and third-class 410,760. These numbers will show that, although the number of first and second-class passengers was not diminished, but augmented, we had an immense augmentation of third-class passengers. Were the second-class passengers carried during the whole of that time in closed carriages ?—Yes. In what kind of carriages were the third-class pas sengers carried?—ln open carriages with benches in them. Are they now carried in that way?—They are still so carried; but the French Government have insisted, in all the latter lines, that the third-class carriages shall be covered; that is to say, shall have a roof, and curtains on the sides, for which additional comfort to the public •hey have agreed to allow 5i centimes for a kilometre to be charged instead of five, which was given before. The fare is raised to the third-class passengers to that amount ?—Yes, half a centime to the kilometre. Is the Ronan line about to conform to that ?—I men tioned on Friday that the tariff on the Rouen line is higher than any other in France. We have altered the tariff in practice as to short distances upon the line. I have no doubt that we shall eventually find it our in- terest to make it general, and conform to the standard of the Orleans Railway ; but we are not compelled to do so by law. You carry a great many English people upon that line ?—Yes, a great many of the first-class passengers are English. Is it not the c tse that you carry more first-class passengers than many foreign railways carry, because there are so many English who travel upon the line?—l believe that it is so. Is it not the case that on foreign railways generally there are few first-class passengers?—l believe about ten per cent. Is there the same difference in the rate of fares between first-class, second-class, and third class pas sengers, as there is in England?—No; the French tariff is, in my opinion, better. In the case of the Rouen line the fares are in the proportion of five, four, and three, between the three classes. D.Salomons,E of Esq. Have you had any opportunities ascertaining what are the comparative charges made for passengers and goods on French and English railways?—l have. I wish to state, in the first instance, that I went over to France with Mr. Robert Stephenson and others, when the northern line of France was first projected, in the year 1843, and my attention having thus been directed in the first instance to the statistics of French railways, I have since taken an interest in other lines, and from these circumstances have been induced to make inquiries, and to collect information respecting the general system of French railways. Will you give the Committee any examples or com parative statements with which you may be furnished on the subject? —[ thought, perhaps, the most convenient way might be to examine the compara tive fares on some of the completed lines of railway in France, such as the Orleans and the Rouen Railways, with lines of a nearly similar length in England. I have taken the Orleans Railway for one, and the Rouen for another. The Paris to Orleans Rtilway is 121 kilometres, or 76 miles long; the Rouen is 136 kilometres, or 85 miles long. I have Luken, in comparison with them, the South• Eastern to Folkestone and Dover, which is 88 miles; the South- Western, which is, I think, about 75 or 76 miles; the Birmingham, from London to Rugby, which is 85, and the Manchester to Birmingham, which is 85 miles. I find that the charge for the first class to Dover is 155.; the second class, 10s.; the third class, 6s. I find from London to Rugby it is 14s. 6d. first class, 10s. second, and 68.11 d. third class. On the Manchester and Bir mingham, the first class is 155.; second class, 11s.; and third class, 7 s . ld. Th e f a re for the first class on the Rouen is 135.; for the second class, 105. 9d.; and for the third class, open carriages, Bs. 3d. I refer in each case to the fares actually c h arge d. I fi n d u p on th e O r l eans , which is 76 miles long, they charge 12s. for. the coup 4 (this is a superior class); the ordinary first.clasa oharg 3 is 10s.; the second class, 76. 9d.i and the Nig class li ss. 33. The South-Western is 14s. first class, 10s. second, and 6s. 6d. third. I beg to state, with regard to I the South Western, that I have excluded the fast and express trains, which are charged rather higher. If I calculated the tariff of the Orleans Railway, so as to make it the same length as the Rouen, that is 85 miles, instead of 76, its charge would be thus, according to the tariff-11s. 63. for the first class, Bs. 9d. for the second class, and 6s. for the third class. In instituting a fair comparison between the English and the French railways, we ought to observe that, upon French railways, there is a very small amount of luggage allowed free of extra charge. On the Orleans Railway it is only 15 kilo grammes, which is 30 pounds ; even half a pound exceeding is charged for all classes by an increased scale so as to make it 2s. extra; you cannot take a pound more luggage on the Orleans Railway beyond the tariff with out being charged 2s. for the extra weight. I find that on English lines of railway, on the Dover, for example, you may carry 84 pounds first class, and 56 second and third. On the London to Rugby line you are allowed 100 pounds first class, 100 pounds second class, and 56 third class. On the Manchester and Birmingham there is 100 pounds first class, 100 second, and 60 third class allowed. On the Rouen Railway it is only 15 kilo grammes. which is allowed, but now I think they are become rather more liberal. There is another material item, that of horses and carriages for travellers. You pay for one horse on the South-Eastern line 345., for two horses 463., for three horses 625. On the Rouen line the prices are very nearly the same, 28s. for one horse, 455. for two, and 625. for three horses. But on the Orleans you pay 303. for one horse, 555. for two horses, and 755. for three horses. On the Manchester and Birmingham line you pay 21s. for one horse, 425. for two horses, and 63i. for three horses. For a carriage on the Dover line you would pay 455.; on the Rouen line, 485.; on the Orleans, if it is a small carriage. you pay 503., if it has double seats, or has a box, you pay 765. I have made a table, which I will put in, of the cost of a family travelling to Dover, Rouen, or to Orleans. I assume that the family would require two first-class seats, two second-class seats, and the conveyance of a carriage; the cost of such a family travelling to Dover would be 955.; to Rouen, 955. 6d.; whereas the convey ance of the same persons to Orleans would be 118 s. 6.1. To elucidate the facts still more with regard to the charges for baggage, without which it is hardly fair to look at the mere charge made for carrying passengers, I wish to state to the committee that the overweight of luggage on the Orleans line of railway, in the year 1644, was 6,952,085 kilogrammes; which was charged 375,288 f., or 15,0001., whereas the parcels or light goods carried by the passenger trains amounted to 4,384,619 kilogrammes, the charge for which was 122,361 f., or 4,900/. ; from which it appears that they carried about half the quantity more of passengers' luggage than they dil of parcels and of light goods, and that they received three times more than they received for their parcels. Does that which ycu have now stated include all that you wish to say respecting the fares of passengers and luggage ?-I have only compared the Orleans line with the Dover line ; and I think that I ought to state to the committee that the Orleans tariff is adopted now as the standard tariff in France on all lines, with the exception of a relaxation to a larger amount of baggage ; there is a larger amount of baggage now allowed ; the Northern line allows 30 kilogrammes, which is 601b5., and the Avignon to Marseilles tariff is 20 kilogrammes, or 401bs. You are aware that the Northern line tariff, as respects luggage, is adopted on all the other lines which have lately been conceded P-I have stated that the tariff, as regards passengers and luggage, has been extended to 601bs. instead of 301bs.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of November 27.)

The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Commander In gram, was hauled out of dock on Tuesday, and is now under the sheers, to be masted. The Seringapatam, 42, receiving-ship, which had been towed to Woolwich for a hulk, has been conveyed back here, and been taken into dock to be fitted as a coal depot for the Cape of Good Hope—the only thing she is fit for.

The gallant officer, we believe, takes with him the sincerest and be=t wishes of all the officers and men over whom he has presided with impartiality and justice during the last two years. Woomicu, Nov. 27.—The Right Hon. the Earl of Auckland, G.C.8., First Lord of the Admiralty; Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adam, 1C.C.8., First Naval Lord; Rear-Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas, C. 8., and the Hon. W. F. Cowper, Lords of the Admiralty, remained on board the Sidon yesterday, with Rear-Admiral Si' Francis Collier, C. 8., and proceeded in the vessel when she left her moorings at a quarter past three o'clock. until nearly opposite Frith, when their Lordships re turned in the Black Eagle steam-vessel. Amongst the naval and military officers on board the Sidon at the time of * her departure, were Major-General Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich; Majur Dupuis, Royal Horse Artillery; Captain Austin, C. 8., Captain Wel. lesley, Cuptain Knox, and Captain Jones, of the Ryal Navy. The Earl of Auckland and the Naval Lords minutely examined the engines, and their working principles were explained by Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Seaward, of the firm of Seaward and Capel, who constructed them, and Mr. Brunet. Their Lordships went upon the paddle-boxes with Captain Henderson, C. 8., her commander, to have a commanding view of her progress. From 80 to 100 of the man were ordered to move from one side of the vessel to the other, and from the fore to the stern part, to test her stability, and it was evident she is not yet deep enough in the water, as she yielded considerably according to the stations where the . men were placed. The Pottinger steam-vessel, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, was reported when she w en t down the river first to leas to a side to a greater degree than the Sidon, but the former vessel was subsequ en tl y found to be of a superior description, and a false keel, although it may counteract the speed of the Sidon, would render her perfectly stable and a fine war steame r . Th e river was very crowded with vessels from Wo o l w i c h to Greenhithe, which rendered it a difficult task to pilot a vessel of such magnitude through them; she, ho wever , arrived at Greenhithe shortly after six P.m., where she east anchor. Captain Henderson retained Mr. St ewar t, the pilot, on board, as it was his intention to proceed 60 or 70 miles to sea to test her fully, and then return to Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson. The dense fog which prevailed during the day on the river prevented the Sidon leaving her anchorage. Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, with Mr. Seaward and Mr. Brunet, remained on board to witnesa her capabili ties. The engines make consid era bl e no i se, but that might easily be remedied by giving them an eccentric instead of the tappet motion. The waste steam-pipes have now been carried up alongside the telescope fun nels, and carried the steam off most effectually, without any moisture being generated in the vessel, as was the case when the waste steam was discharged at the sides and stern of the vessel. A small steam-engine, " the stoker's friend," h as b een p l aced to work the pumps, and were another of similar power applied to work a fan to cool their stations, they would have reason to be grateful. CHATHAM, Nov. 27.—The Albatross, 16 guns, Com mander Farquhar, is in harbour fitting for sea ; she has her full complement of men on board, with the exception of a carpenter. The Rose, 18 guns.--A detachment of Royal Marines from this ship has joined the Chatham division, consist ing of one corporal and 16 privates. The supernumerary Marines who recently joined this battalion, to the number of 200 men, from the ships of the experimental fleet, assembled at the pay-office in this dockyard, and were paid wages, this moraing.

ALTERATION IN COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—It is proposed wholly to take down the audience part of the theatre, from the ceiling to the top of the walls under the pit, and including the walls under the galleries and boxes throughout their whole height, and to rebuild the latter so as to increase the size of the pit aneihe area between the fronts of the boxes, and from the fronts of galleries to the proscenium. Two new stone staircases will be formed from the level of the corridor behind the ground or pit tier of boxes to the height of the highest boxes. The floor of the pit tier corridor will be made wholly fire-proof, and communicating with the pit itself, as well as with the pit tier boxes on one side, and with the ground level saloon by means of a double flight of stone stairs. The grand staircase from Bow-street, and the royal and other private-box staircases on the other side of the house, will remain, these being capable of assisting in the relief of the audience part of the house at all times. Mr. Benedict Albano has the diriction of the alterations.— The Builder. The Earl of Romney has been unanimously elected Chairman of the West Kent Quarter Sessions, in the room of Joseph Berens, Esq., resigned. THE ZOLLVEKEIN. The new modifications made by the German Customs Union in its commercial system, merit same atention from those nations more particularly affected thereby; while it is of some importance to ascertain the position taken up by this great association at the present moment, when the question of free trade is exciting such lively discussion throughout Europe. For the better comprehension of this subject we will first recall the changes introduced by the Zollvert in into its tariffs during the last few years, and will afterwards attempt to characterise the nature and bearing of those recently effected. The Zollverein has scarcely touched its tariff in the last quinquennial period, except to aggravate its disposi tions ; these augmentations of duties have not, however, been realised without severe struggles, and pro longed opposition. The obstacles that have been en countered may be readily conceived, when it is known that the decisions of the Customs Con gress require unanimity, and that it is in the power of a single State to raise an insurmountable obstacle. There are in Germany, as in every other country, two par ties, the one an advocate of commercial liberty, the other the partizan of the protective system. Prussia, which has placed itself at the head of the former, has long resistd the wishes of the southern States, which more especially represent the latter party. It has, how ever, at last been obliged to give way, for fear of loosening the bonds by which the association is held together, and perhaps, some day, seeing a work dissolved, to the existence of which it justly attaches political in- Wrests of so much magnitude. Without going farther back than the year 1842, we see the Zollverein at that epoch doubling the duties on jewellery and fancy iron wares, on gilded bronzes, paper-hangings, and perfumery, &c. In 1844 it im posed a duty on raw iron, which was before exempt, and raised the tariffs on various sorts of iron. The same year it increased the impart duty on light woollen stuffs by two-thirds; and, finally, it now raises the duty on cotton and linen threads. To judge of these augmentations of duty, we need not consider them from an abstract point of view ; in the present state of international relations, it must be al lowed that a people need only consider its own industrial and commercial conveniences for the adjustment of its tariffs ; but even under this regard all their augmenta tions do not seem to us to be dictated by an equally judi cious appreciation of the production and wants of Germany. Thus the measures directed against the importation of articles of art, fashion, and luxury are rather opposed than favourable to the interests of the country. The German manufacturer does not pique himself on disputing with France the sceptre of taste and invention ; he willingly leaves to her the supply of those varied products which derive their chief merit from the elegance of their form, the becoming harmony of their colours, and the finish of their workmanship. He wisely prefers to apply his re sources to the production of those more common wares, which suit a numerous population, and even" by that alone enter largely into consumption. The elevation of the duties on works of art and taste will not give him what is not in his nature. The cold and serious cha racter of his genius will not bend itself to all these bril liant fantasies of the imagination. What, then, is the result of this elevation of duties ? To prevent habits of comfort and elegance from penetrating into the middle classes, to oppose the wants inherent to the progress of civilisation, and to injure national industry, by depriving it of models by which it might have profited. The increase of the duties on cast and wrought iron may be justified much better. Germany possesses all the necessary elements for the development of metallurgic industry ; its soil conceals rich mines ; magnificent forests flourish on the banks of the Rhine and on the numerous mountains that advance from the sides of the Alps or the Hereynian Car pathians; the working of the beds of coal is extending more and more every year in the basins of the Ruhr, Silesia, and Saxony. It was then very natural for the Zollverein, seeing its metallurgic industry menaced by English competition, to come to its aid by assuring it better prices and a more considerable share in the supply of the national market. The question of cotton anal linen threads, which has also been settled on the side of protection, is that which has been most warmly discussed in the councils of the Germanic Association ; little was wanting to set the Zollverein in a blaze. It was brought forward at the Customs Congress of Stuttgard, in 1842, and reproduced at that of Carlsruhe last year. The cotton manufacturers, ho Never, saw their demands rejected, the first time by a refusal, and the second by an adjournment. It was not until this extraordinary conference, held at Berlin, that they at last gained their cause. The fabrication of cotton is one of those industries which manufacturing nations show most perseverance in disputing with England. The products in cotton manu factures form, it is known, the chief part of the colossal total of the exportations of Great Britain. " The cown trade," said an English orator, " is for us principally an objact of commerce ; of seven bales which we manu facture, only one is intended for domestic consumption; out of the seven days of the week our workmen employ six in clothing the foreigner." This cannot, evidently, be a normal state of things. There is no reason of cli mate why England should thus charge itself with manufacturing cotton for almost the entire universe. Accordingly every nation possessing an industrial life is trying to free itself from the British monopoly, and it the German association has shown so much hesita tion in taking a decided part, it is because energetic resistance has been met in the associated states, arising from interests formed under the state of things hitherto in vigour. The cotton-manufacture has of late been much ex tended in Germany. Thus, while she consumed on an average only from thirteen to fifteen millions of pounds of cotton wool in the period from 1834 to 1836, she consumed upwards of thirty-one millions, or more than double, in the same period from 1843 to 1845. But the importation of English threads into the States of the Zollverein, has, nevertheless, continued to increase in a remarkable proportion ; it rose during tie same period from less than thirty millions to forty-nine million pounds weight. It even exceeded that amount in 1844 and 1845. Tho fact is, that in spite of the progress she had made in the manufacture of cotton, Germany, far from being able to compete with England, is not even on a level with France or Switzerland. The use of machinery is there of modern date ; the establish ments are on a small scale ; the factories of Saxony have not, on an average, more than four thousand spindles, and there is not, perhaps, in the whole Zoll varein five factories with from twenty to thirty thou,and spindles. It may be calculated that the spindle of an English factory produces at least a fourth, and perhaps a third, more than the spindle of a German factory. how, then, can the industry of the Zollyerein defend itself with its own forces alone under such conditions of inferi ority ?—Constitutionnel. INTERCOURSE WITH NEW OR LEANS AND TILE GREAT VALLEY OF THE WEST. A plan is in the course of execution for improving the communication of New Orleans, the sole outlet of the great valley of the Mississippi, with the sea, which, when executed, will be attended with many advantages to the rapidly increasing commerce of that city and the region of which it is the port, and with some especial advantages to the commercial and personal intercourse of the Southern sad Western States with this country. The object of this improvement is to avoid crossing the bar at the mouth of the river, at Belize , and also to avoid a tedious and winding voyage of ninety miles from Belize to New Orleans, by forming a railway from the city of New Orleans to Cat Island Harbour, a fine well sheltered anchorage, which has recently been discovered at the entrance of Lake Borgne, forty-six miles east of New Orleans. There is depth of water in this harbour for ships of war to victual and refit; for steamers of the size of those of the West India line to enter at all times, and for large merchant vessels to take in full cargoes of grain and other heavy goods, none of which things are practicable at the present harbour of New Orleans. The greatest advantage of this plan probably is, that it will render it possible to extend all the advantages of the safe and rapid mode of communication between Eng land and America furnished by the West India mail steamers to the whole of the Valley of the Mississippi, as well as to Mobile and other parts of the cotton-grow ing States in the Gulf of Mexico. At present these vast regions furnish 1,000,000 bales of cotton every year, at a v ery moderate computation worth 5,000 ,000 / . sterling, and they are likely in future to supply us with grain, flour, provisions, and tobacco, to a still greater extent. This immense trade is every year creating an increase in the personal and epistolary communication between Eng land and New Orleans, and there can be no doubt that it would be much facilitated and greatly increased, if the West Indian steamers could proceed toNew Orleans. At present this is impossible, as they draw too much water to cross the bar, and are, therefore, unable to approach nearer than 110 miles of the city, to a point without a harbour or a road, to New Orleans. They have, in consequence, giving up calling at that point, after at temptine, twice, and thus the people in the great valley of the West are deprived of the advantages of this cheap and rapid route to Europe, and the company is deprived of the profit of carrying them. When the railroad is completed to Cat Island Harbour, the steamers will be able to approach within a couple of hours' ride to New Orleans, and ten hours' sale of Mobile, and to lie there in a well-sheltered harbour in deep water. Another great advantage of this place, and one which would be invaluable in times of European scarcity like the present, when the chief supply of cora and flour during the winter months must be derived from the valley of the Mississippi and the port of New Orleans, is that it would render vessels of large size available for the purpose of carrying it to ,Europe. At present it is useless to send large vessels to New Odeon, in the hope of their bringing home full corgi es of corn or flour, as no vessel carrying more than about 300 tons of heavy cargo can cross the bar at Be lize. The consequence is, that the greater part of our British shipping is unavailable for this purpose. With light cargo, such as cotton, this is not so much felt ; but full cargoes, even of cotton, can only be brought out in vessels of a peculiar build, ill suited for general purposes, and of which this country possesses few. When once the railway to Cat Island harbour is completed, grain, flour, tobacco, pork, lard, and provisions generally, may be conveyed there, and shipped in vessels of any size, to the full extent of the vessels' capacity. From the want of these facilities the shipping of grain and flour at New Orleans will proceed much more slowly during the pre sent winter than is generally expected by those who nre unacquainted with the peculiarities of the port, and will continue to do so until the new mode of forwarding the produce of the Mississippi is completed.—Liverpool Times. ........, ..-............'
