MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE /VS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm again. Sales, 9,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American on speculation. The rise has been id. per lb. in American and Surat since last Friday, and the range of prices for the former yesterday was from 4d. to 62d., and for the latter 31d. to 4r-1-d. per lb. In Shares there was not a great deal doing. The arrival of the steamer from Halifax is now hourly expect. d, though the usual punctuality with such wea ther as has recently been experienced cannot reasonably be expected. We adverted yesterday to the important question of the supply of food for the straitened population of the United Kingdom, and we have had occasion likewise to express our belief that undoubtedly, important as it is to secure early and ample supplies, there has been every eff ,rt used to enhance prices beyond their proper limit. The following insight into the affairs on the other side of the Atlantic will serve to corroborate our views. The party writes :—" It therefore, ap pears, that the surplus agricultural products of the United States, will be required to feed the popula tion of almost every part of Europe, and we have no doubt but that every barrel of flour and bushel of grain we can spare, will he required to meet the demand from abroad for actual consumption. This demand will, of course have a very great and very favourable influence u;,or. prices, and we have no doubt they will advance to a higher point than has been realised for a long time. It is very probable that there will from time to time be a reaction in the advance, and speculators will, without doubt, suffer serious losses; but the result of a very extensive ext. real demand for our bread stuffs, must be a very great improvement in prices. There are bulls and bears in the corn markets, as well as in the stock markets, and while one party is striving to put up prices, the other is making efforts to put them down. Flour is sold short, as well as fancy stocks, and a, $ one half of the sales reported from day to day, are bond fide —not one barrel in a hundred reported as sold changes hands, and there is, therefore, apparently more activity in the market than what really exists. On all hands we hear of satisfaction being expressed at the very unequivocal terms in which the Committee of Spanish American bondholders have expressed their entire concurrence in the conversion as effected by Mr. Murphy, and of his undeniable authority to carry out the same according to the plan adopted, which, in no respect, imposes any additional burden upon the Mexican Govern ment—nay, not even to the extent of a farthing. With such unscrupulous men, however, at the head of the affhirs of the republic, as Santa Anna and his colleagues, have shown themselves to be, this " little" matter of finance, and the mortification they exhibit at the loss of the " nice pickings" they expect for themselves whenever a conversion takes place, we cannot expect the value of the Bonds to be advanced, or even supported. They have to-day been marked 22 to Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 25g, and the Three per Cents have receded from 37i to 36k. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 39. Dutch Tyra-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59i to There have been one or two heavy sales effected in the English Stock market, and the consequence is rather a decided, though perhaps merely temporary, reaction in prices. Consols have been done at 941 for present Transfer, and at 9413 for Time, having opened at 94i for the former, and 94i to 95 for th latter. The premium on Excht quer-bills has been also reduced as low as 9s. to 12s. Bank Stock is not higher than 2048 to 205+. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 9n, to Shares have been generally good again, and the in creased business done in Edinburgh, has reacted fa vourably here, especially the Caledonian, Aberdeen, and North British. Dudley and Birmingham are favourites this morning, in conjunction with the Birmingham and Oxford, owing to the reported amalgamation between the two. London and N. Westernloo 199 198 200._ 200 M Do.

We stated in our last report from the Heath that the early commencement of the races, rendered indispens able by the number of events to come off, had inter fered with the settling, and, we might have added, made Mr. Tattersall's sale a mere ceremony ; no one had time to attend it, and, in consequence, several lots of well bred greyhounds were withdrawn. To prevent a similar inconvenience on Wednesday, on which day it was ex pected there would be at least a dozen races, it was de creed by the Committee of the Subscription-room that the settling for the clay's races should take place to night. There were a few " Discontents" to this ar rangement, but by the majority it was approved and acted upon.

The difficulty under which the jockies laboured on the first and second days was obviated to-day by bush-harrowing the course on the flat, and strewing tan parallel with it from the Ditch to the Red Stand ; this enabled them to keep the track, and prevented any fear of their going out of the course. The racing commenced at eleven, and was not over until five.

SIR S As o T idn H i e asEc afterc 3ErdDatn/hree the orb first descried by Herschel, in 1781, has received the appellation of Uranus, so it is certain that astrono mers will apply some classic term to the recent wonder ful discovery of Le Verrier. Uranus, the father of Saturn, was the offspring of Chaos and N ox , b ut the name of neither of these can be fitly given to an orga nised member of the universe. I venture, therefore, to suggest, that our lately found comrade be called Hype rion, from the circumstance of his describing the outer orbit of the solar system. This word, it is true, has been used by poets as an epithet of the Sun, in the sense of " high careering," but has not been so strictly appro priated to our great luminary as to forbid its adoption in what I conceive to be a legitimate and singularly ap propriate application.

THE SCN LONDION, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1846 PRIN CESS'S THEATRE. After a short recess, this theatre opened last evening with an operatic company. Among the artistes en gaged are Madame Albertazzi, Bliss Georgiana Smithson, Miss Sara Flower, Mr. Allen, Mr. Barker, Mr. Delavanti, an American vocalist, Mr. Bodda, and Mr. Leffler. Mademoiselle Nau is also engaged for a limited number of nights. During the recess the theatre has been completely renovated and re-deco rated. The opening piece was a new opera (the words by Soane, the music by Loder), entitled the A ight Dancers, founded on the story of the popular ballet of Giselle, which story has, however, been modi fied, to suit operatic purposes. The opera is divided into an induction and two acts. The scene in the induction is laid in the interior of the cottage of Godfrey (Mr. Walton) an old miller in Silesia. His niece Mary (Miss G. Smithson), is busied in preparations for the marriage of Gizelle, her cousin (Madame Albertazzi), who is to wed Albert (Mr. Allen). Mary sings one of the wild legends of her country, to beguile the time. Giselle enters, in her wedding dress, and is chid by her father, old Godfrey, for her vanity. He is, however, soon appeased, and sings a merry song. Giselle, who is passionately fond of the dance, waltzes to distant music. The sounds approach. Godfrey and Mary retire, and the voice of Albert is heard serenading her from the lake. Coquettishly, she refuses to show herself. The serenaders retire. She commences singing and waltzing to the symphony of the air, and at length falls asleep. This ends the induction. The first act opens with a chorus of vintagers, assembled outside Gadfrey's cottage. The beadle of the parish, a certain Fridolin, a sort of ope ratic Marmaduke Magog, capitally acted by Mr. Leffler, enters. Fridolin is desperately in love with Mary, but his curiosity is quite as intense as his love, and he is accordingly constantly peeping through the keyhole of Albert's cottage, in order to discover whether Albert is not a nobleman in disguise" Mary remonstrates with him—he justifies himself —and at last Albert enters. The greater part of this scene is conducted in concerted music, and Mr. Loder shows in it that he possesses in a very high degree the faculty of composing, what, for want of a better term, we must denominate conversational music. Albert sings the beautiful serenade, " Wake, my love, all life is stirring," which was deliciously given by Allen, and Giselle enters. Her grand scena d'epitree, "I dreamt we stood before the altar," is a most elaborate composition, with full orchestral accompaniments. It was evident that Loder, in composing this scena, felt that he was composing it for a perfectly.,educated and thoroughly scientific musician, and most assuredly it received full justice from Madame Albertazzi. It was most rapturously applauded, and from this moment the success of the opera appeared certain. This is followed by a beautiful little bit of simple melody, "I cannot flatter if I would," which was given with exquisite taste by Allen, and rewarded by an enthusiastic encore. This is followed by a bacchanalian song by Mary, a curiosity in its way, inasmuch as it is not often that a drinking song is given to the soprano. It was not only well sung, but well acted too by Miss Smithson, who seemed a very Hebe as she poured forth the ruddy juice of the grape. The Duke of Silesia (Mr. Bodda) and Bertha (Miss Sara Flower) enter and join the villagers, and nearly the whole of the rest of the act consists of concerted music. Mr. Bodda, who on this occasion made his first appearance at this theatre, possesses a fine bass voice, with greater flexibility than voices of that charac ter in general possess. He is, moreover, a clever musician, and by no means deficient in histrionic powers. He will prove a great acquisi tion to the Princess's company. The gem of this scene is the air by Bertha, " Our way bath been both rough and long," in which the fine deep rich contralto tones of Miss Sara Flower told with marvellous effect. There is no other lady at present on the stage 'who could have approached her. This is followed by a magnificent quintette, admirably sung by Allen, Miss Smithson, Bodda, Leffler, and Miss Sara Flower, and which is perhaps the composition par exc e lle nce o f the opera in which the scientific musician will most de light. This is followed by a huntsman's chorus, which possesses no very particular merit ; and then comes a fine bass song " Believe me, honest friends," which was very well given by Mr. Bodda. This is followed by the recitative "I breathe again," and the air " What pleasure can we find in slaying," which were beautifully given by Madame Albertazzi. The accompaniment to the recitative is very fine, and the air which follows is a delicious little bit of melody. It was enthusiastically encored. Then comes the flower duet, " He loves me, he loves me not," well sung—and well acted too—by Allen and Madame Albertazzi, which we like none the worse from its reminding us forcibly of the scene with Mar garet in the garden, of Faust. In this scene is in troduced a dance of villagers, in which Mr. and Miss Marshall danced a new and elegant pas de deu; and then Fridolin, the prying beadle, inter rupts the festivities, by announcing that he has discovered that Albert is a noble in disguise. Albert is recognised by the Duke as his nephew, and the affianced of Bertha. Poor Giselle falls senseless. It is in vain that Bertha relinquishes all claim to him, and, drawing the ring from her own finger, places it on that of Giselle, exclaiming in those rich deep impassioned tones, which no female voice ! save that of Miss Sarah Flower possesses, "Be bleat, be Albert's wedded wife." Poor Giselle dies, and the act concludes with a fine preghiera, " Holy water o'er thee sprinkling," sung over her corse. The scene of the next act is the Lotus Lake, the abode of Wilis, and we see the tomb of Giselle. Bertha enters and strews flowers on the tomb. She is joined by Albert, and here we have the gem of the opera, the duet " Peace to the dead," one of the most beautifully expressive compositions we have ever heard, and which was given with exquisite pa thos and feeling by Miss Sara Flower and Mr. Allen. The villagers enter, and then comes some fine concerted music; after which, Albert, who is left alone by the grave of Giselle, sings the beauti fully plaintive air, " Wake from thy grave, Giselle." This is followed by the chorus of Wilis, who rise from their graves, and are joined by Giselle, who is transformed into a Vili. Then comes the air by Giselle, "What new delight ful being's this ?" which was beautifully rendered by Madame Albertazzi ; and then we have the ballet of the Wilis. This ballet is interrupted by the entry of Fridolin, who is beset by the Wilis, and danced by them into the lake, according to the received legend. The Wilis sing a joyous chorus at having " netted their prey ; ' but disappear as Albert comes forward. Albert invokes the shade of Giselle, who, singing beneath the earth, warns him of his im pending fate ; but, in obedience to his invocation, she rises from earth from a bed of roses—and here an accident, which was nearly being attended with the most fatal consequences occurred. Madame Albertazzi, attired as a Wili with gauze wings and flowing gauze robes, appeared from behind the roses ; to give effect to the scene a lamp had been placed so as to throw a full light upon her as she rose ; a sudden draught of air floated her robe over the lamp, and in an instant she was in flames. She ran towards the wing for safety, and as she progressed the flames rose above her head. With admirable pre sence of mind Allen, who was in front of the stage, rushed towards the wing across her path, so as to im pede her further progress, caught her in his arms, and by embracing her partially smothered the flames. The actors and scene-shifters, who were at the wings, rushed to his assistance, surrounded her, and at once extinguished the fire. The whole affair did not oc cupy half a minute, but it was a half minute of terror. There was no shrieking, but there was a - thrilling buz of horror, an audible shudder, throughout the house, which was followed by repeated rounds of the most enthusiastic ap plause .when Allen led her forward unhurt. After pausing a few seconds to recover herself, she proceeded with her part, and gave the duet with .Allen, " Thou hast called, ah woe's the hour," beau tifully. The remainder is soon told ; she saves Al bert's life by protracting the dance until daybreak, and then comes the denouement. Clouds envelope the scene, and we are again in the cottage of Godfrey. The whole opera has been but a dream of Giselle, who is united to Albert, and who finishes by singing the finale, "On me crowd such ,ioyous fancies, which, as is usual in such ,vases, is a piece composed expressly to give to the in 'ima donna an opportunity of showing off her powers j of e. xecution—an opportunity of which Madame Al berta zzi knew well how to avail herself. All the p )al artistes were called for at the conclusion, and the opera was announced for repetition by Mr. Walton, Amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of a crowded house. This opera ;is evidently the work of a tho roughly accomplished musician, of one who has studied carefully the works of the German masters , and who has formed himself upon the model of Weber, with out being in the remotest degree an imitator of that great composer. It not only reflects the greatest school of credit ',m on Mr. Loder, but upon the English m usic, and is one of those operas which will, in all pros imbility, be reproduced in the con tinental theatres, and w 'hid; if so produced, ca nnot fail to give conti nental Olettantz' a high opinion of the genius of modern E n glish ceiMposers.

The Directors juf the above Company regret to state that for un mistakeable purposes, rumours are industriously circulated, and paragraphs have been inserted in different papers, all tending to mis lead the public, and to produce speculation in these shares; they, therefore, feel it is a duty they owe to the shareholders of the line, and to the public at large, to declare that there is no ground for the reports alluded to, other than that an offer of purchase was made by the Eastern Counties to the Ambergate Com pany, and which, due regard being had to the integrity of the line, it was not deemed prudent to accept. An arrangement was, however, made for the two " Boards" to meet this day at the Shoreditch station, and propositions were there submitted by the Ambergate to the Eastern Counties, which the former regret to say the latter have refused to entertain. The Directors of the Ambergate Company doubt not that its Shareholders will give them eredit for being ac tuated only by the sole desire of promoting the new interests of the Proprietors, and of maintaing the line "in tact ;" this they are re solved to do, and they feel certain that if it be made without re ference to sale or lease with any other company, twelve months will not elapse before it will command such a position in the market as will justify them in refusing the terms which were offered. In conclusion the Directors beg to assure the Shareholders that one " call " ohly will be made during the whole of next year, and yet that pa: t of the line between Nottingham and Grantham will, within that time, be completed, while the remaining portions will be advanced as much as possible.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company took place to-day, at the London Tavere, fit the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and to consider the propriety of proceeding with or abandon ing the undertaking. The Right Hon. G. R. DAWSON took the chair shortly after one o'clock; upon doing which, he stated that the company was a peculiar one, it did not come under the provisions of any Act of Parliament, and it would be a dead letter till it received the fiat of the States of Jersey. The company had been formed about the present time last year. Pro. spectuses were published and subscriptions received. Upon the completion of the preliminary business it then became the duty of the directors to proceed in the usual course to bring the matter before the authorities of the coentry. The Company had b 'en obliged to con sult two important departments of the Government— the Ordnance and the Adni'r Ilty; they had been obliged to consult the Ordnance Department because it was proposed to carry the line through a large portion of land belonging to that department, and it became ne cessary to consult the Admiralty in order to enable them to build their harbour and pier. Surveys and valuations had been made, plans had been drawn out, and as much expedition as possible had been used. Some delay, however, had taken place in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining engineers, Mr. Walker, who had been first appointed, declining to act, thinking it not consistent with his duty as engineer to the Admiralty. Ulti mately, however, Messrs. Sherrard and Hall were em ployed. Those gentlemen made their report in February last ; and upon the receipt of that report the directors put themselves in communication with the Ordnance Department, and he was sorry to say the result of that communication was unfavourable to the undertaking. Reference had also been made to the Board of Admiralty, and to that reference the direc tors had not received any answer. A change in the Government having taken place, it was thought, per haps, that the new Board of Ordnance would take a dif• ferent view of the question; another reference was made to the new Board of Ordnance, to which an answer was returned on the 14th of the present month, which was equally unfavourable to the undertaking, the new Board stating that they were of the same opinion as their pre decessors; no answer had been received from the new Board of Admiralty. Now, until the objections of the Ordnance and the Admiralty were got over it was utterly impos sible to proceed to refer the matter to the States of Jersey. Their directors had done all they could to bring this undertaking to a favourable issue, and they had nothing more to do then than to ask the opinion of the proprietors as to the propriety of dissolving the company. The SECRETARY then read the report of the directors, whish stated that the receipts were 9,7251, and the disbursements 3,6481., with a probability of 5001. more' and recommended that the company should be dis solved, a return made to the shareholders of 10s. (20s. having been paid) a share immediately, and a final divi dend paid when the directors were able to do so. Upon the question of the adoption of the report a long and somewhat angry discussion took place with re spect to the bills of the solicitors, the insertion, as it was said by the directors of an advertisement in the Times newspaper to puff up the shares, and the great expense that had been incurred in the initiatory proceedings of a line that was only loi miles in length, which ended in the adoption of the following resolutions : " That the report of the directors be approved and confirmed. " That the directors be enabled to take such measures as may be necessary for the immediate dissolution of the company. " That the meeting approve and confirm the proposal of returning immediately the sum of 10s. per share, and such further sum as the directors may be enabled to make, as soon as all the claims upon the company shall be examined and discharged." Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY. Fellow-Shareholders,—Our property is in peril ! On Friday an attempt will be made to amalgamate our undertaking with the Dudley line. Beware of consenting to it. I doubt not the directors, deeply in terested as they individually are, will be provided with proxies to carry the union, unless a determined stand is made. If it is consummated we shall be placed entirely in the power of the Great Western. The London and Birmingham Company are, I am told on authority, ready to guarantee us nine per cent. If united to the Dudley line, they cease to feel an interest in offer ing any terms. Pause, then, at least until you know whether the Great Western will give us a better offer. No danger can arise from delay. Once allied, our power of negotiation is gone. Let us adjourn the decision. London, Oct. 28. A PROPRIETOR. LITERATURE. GERMAN IN ONE VOLUME. By Fakk Lebahn. Several very excellent works have already appeared introductory to the German language; nevertheless, we can distinctly assert that the present volume ap pears to us to surpass every one of its predecessors. Before we had leisure to examine the arrangement of the different elementary principles comprised in the pages of this grammatical compilation, we were per suaded that its publication must be almost superfluous, and we were persuaded that it must be superfluous frcim a recollection of the inimitable introduction to " a theoretical and practical knowledge of the Ger man language," written several years since by T. S. Reisender. So fully were we convinced of the advan tages of the system adopted by Herr Reisender, that _we could scarcely conceive to ourselves the necessity for anything more simple, mere perspicuous, :or more symmetrical in the shape of a German grammar. We have carefully examined the volume just issued by Lebahn, and we confess that we were alto gether mistaken in our anticipations. Numerous and admirable as are the works of this description, which have from time to time come under our obser vation, we do not remember any one that has afforded us equal satisfaction with that given by the present. There is a novelty about its classification of a very striking character; the parts of speech are placed in the happiest order; and the arbitrary rules illustrated with the most appropriate examples. Besides this, the volume has these additional attractions : it is fur nished with a vocabulary of 4,500 words, synonymous in German and English; it contains a translation of the opening chapters of " Rasselas" and "The Vicar of Wakefield," and the entire of Fouque's beautiful tale of " Undine." As a pioneer to the conquest of a glorious literature, we consider this volume to be without any competitor. TTISII THE PAST AND FUTURE OF THE B!?. A'AVY. By Me Hon. E. Plunkett. Any book with such a title-page cannot fail to arouse the interest, and to excite the curiosity of even the least patriotic among Englishmen. And when, on a perusal, it is found to contain so much that is candid, honest, sagacious, and startling, and that it proceeds from the pen of an observant Com mander in the Royal Navy, it will inevitably illicit commendation. Captain Plunkett is wholly precau tionary in the nature of his present production ; he conceives that there is an intense necessity for active and energetic improvements in the glorious service of which he is a member, and, solicitous alike for the safety of his country, the glory of the navy, and the maintenance of our naval supremacy, he has braved all the perils of authorship, and boldly launched his present work upon the dark and mysterious ocean of eri ticilm. However much individuals may differ from the writer, in his estimate of what is requisite in the way of the modification and advancement of the sea-ser- : ; ; ;1 *:F ~~ ~: ~,~ vice, it will be impossible for any one to possession of the most patriotic sentirnkfti; to believe that he has been actuated by any tither than the most generous motions. We all know<perf ec tlYTS well that the Prince de Joinvill e wrote ma,vA9 # truths in his pamphlet, as well as many e a. • i r taSAiaV notions, and many expressions that might be readily contorted into mere bombast and braggadocio. We all know, moreover, that the science of naval tactics has been marvellously changed by the adoption of steam-power in our armed vessels. Those alterations and those home-truths necessitate a corresponding activity in the service; an activity ambitious of keep ing pace with the advancing spirit of the age, and of not being bafll-1 by the encroachments of science. Although we are confident, therefore, of the con tinued vigour of our navy, and of the valour and efficiency of our seamen, we must, nevertheless, ob serve that there are many suggestions contained in the present brochure deserving the serious consideration of the Right Hon. the Lords of the Admiralty. FINE ARTS. TRE CHRISTIAN IN PALESTINE. Part VII. This most attractive serial is continued with una bating excellence. 'We are doubtful whether we should more admire the learned and interesting letter press, penned by Dr. Stebbing, or the brilliant and picturesque illustrations copied from the original sketches by W. H. Bartlett. " Mount Thabor, look ing towards Gilboa and the Jordan," is a delici ous composition. F rom the quaint and characteristic cluster of Arabs and goats in the foreground, the lat ter dipping their long beards in the pool ; from the cool umbrage of the half-distance, to the remote mountain and horizon bathed in sunlight, everything imparts an additional beauty to a scene which, from its mere undulations and its manifold associations, would have been strangely interesting. The other engravings are of almost equal purity. li 7 tl';› NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Woo',maul, OCT. 28.—CaptainTylden, Deputy-Assis tant Quartermaster General to the Royal Artillery, visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday afternoon offici ally to witness and report on the efficiency of the ar rangements for an amply supply of water, and the mode of using it, in case of fire. The police, under Inspector Ilxvard, on the shortest notice attached the leathern hoses to the mains, and discharged large volumes of water from one two and four hoses, carrying the water to a height of 110 feet and upwards without the aid of engine', the pressure on the surface of the water in the reservoir on Woolwich common, near Shooter's-hill, which always contains an abundant supply, being suffi cient for that purpose. The time occupied on a former occasion in taking out the hose from the place where it is deposited, on a pretended alarm being made, attach ing it to the main, and throwing a large volume of water over the root of the slip under which the Royal Albert, 120 gun ship, is building, only occupied six minutes, and the exercises yesterday afforded the greatest satisfaction to Captain Tylden, owing to the celerity with which they were executed, and the efficient manner in which everything connected with the waterworks is kept ready for use in case of an alarm of fire. The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Hawker, had her steam up yesterday in the basin, to test the power of her engines. The stern of the vessel was attached by strong ropes to the testing machine, constructed at the west side of the basin, on a principle submitted by Professor Daniel Colladon, and capable of ascertaining the exact capabilities of any description of engines fitted to steam-vessels to the extent of 1,000 horse power. The result is ascertained by dials with moveable hands, similar to those of weighing machines. The engines of the Grappler are two of 110-horse power each, constructed by Maudslay, Field, and Sons. The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Smithett, was kept in dock yesterday to have her decks over the boilers and in the vicinity of the funnels payed with stance marine wouldglue. n I s t v, w , e a r s w a h t e fi r r e s t p d i t e e u h b tf el had w beenh e th e r p r t e h v a i t o s u u s b l y applied, but repeated trials have shown that although the pitch is only partially tat( en out, or driven further initbeys with the remaining part, thecaulkers,themarineg and lu rendersethorough thlyae decksmalga m perfectly water-tight, and gives additional strength to them. The engineers of the Garland have availed them selves of the opportunity of her bei ng i n d oc k to effect an improvement in her slides and in other parts of the vessel, and her commander anticipates that her speed will be greater than formerly. Being constructed of wood, her steering qualities and the correctness of her com passes are all that her commander can wish for. The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain Cragg, has had her steam up and her engines at work to-day, but the denseness of the fog prevented her going down the river on trial. She is fitted with engines of 500-horse power, by Penn, and the largest ever made on the oscillating principle. The engines are of beautful workmanship. Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, having left to-day for Liverpool, on official duty, Mr. Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth Dockyard, has arrived to superintend and report on the trials of the engines of the Sphynx and Amphion steam-frigates and the Geyser and Grappler steam-vessels, as they are re quired with the least possible delay for service. An experiment of an interesting and valuable nature was tried with a boat fitted on a plan submitted by Mr. Holdsworth, Governor of Dartmouth, and for many years a Member of Parliament. The object of Mr. Holdsworth is to render any boat attached to ships of war, or other vessels, incapable of sinking in the most tempestuous sea, if the load i s no t grea t er than the cal culation of displacement of air, the means adopted for supporting the boat rid persons who may be in danger by shipwreck, or fro any other cause. The boat ex perimented with on this occasion was one built at Wool wich Dockyardf on a plan of Lord John Hay, C. 8., a present Lord of the Admiralty, and given to Captain Henderson, C. 8., Commander of the Sidon steam-frigate, on his Lordship's ceasing to be Captain-Superinten dent pro tom. of Woolwich Dockyard. The boat mea sures 32 feet in length by 5 feet broad in the centre, and weighs 2 cwt. On the inside all round under the cross beams were fixed simply with cord, which could be effected in ten minutes, ten hermetically sealed tubes formed of vulcanised India rubber, each six feet l o ng a n d five inches i n di ameter, calculated to support 500 cwt. without sinking, although the boat-was filled with water. The boat was taken from the boat-house to the basin at the west-end of the dockyard at 3 o'clock P.M., and the experiments were made in the presence of Cap tain Henderson, Captain Cragg, Captain Hunt, Colonel Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Mili tary Academy; Lieutenant Gardiner, Lieutenant Ly saght, Mr. Holdsworth, Mr. Brockenden, Mr. Elson, Master Attendant, and Mr. Reid, Assistant to the Master Shipwrights. On the boat being dropped in the water a plug was withdrawn from her bottom, and she was al lowed to fill with water. Three persons then stood over the ankles in water on her cross-beams, but they could not bring her down. 500 weight of iron was then lowered into her, which she supported with the greatest ease, and the three persons in addition stood on the edge of the side, sinking it about six inches under water, with. out the boat showing any inclination to sink, but r,ghting herself with the greatest ease. The Formidable, 84, at Sheerness, it is said, will be commissioned by Captain Ramsay, of the Terrible, steam-frigate, on her arrival at Woolwich ; the captain and crew of that steam-frigate being turned over to the Formidable. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushingtou, is progress ing rapidly in her fittings at Portsmouth, considering the small number of hands she has on her. Her top masts are fidded. The continuous puffs on her officers are too barefaced not to be traced. The men are, as we have said before, working very well, but not better than the crews of other ships fitting have worked. It must be borne in mind that this Vengeance was one of the advanced ships. To show that Captain LushingtOn de serves no credit for the smartness with which the ship is fitting, the fact i 3 not omitted that he is unwell. Too much of this will defeat its own object, and the second and third lieutenants will not get first and second, one day the sooner. EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE ON THE VALUE Or LAND.—We are glad to find that the experience of Mr. W. W. Simpson the celebrated auctioneer, fully shows the absurdity of the fears which the protectionists pro fessed to entertain as to the probable effects of free-tride measures on the value of land. The free traders were always convinced of the absurdity of these fears, but the protectionists would listen to no argument, they were determined to be ruined, they would not be comforted. What has been the result of these dreaded measures. Listen to Mr. Simpson himself at one time a protec tionist. As long ago as last April in a speech at Nor wich, he said that—" Although he had been a thorough going protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and all other scales bad fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and honest conviction, that rents which had been set on fair and lib era l p r i nc ipl es w ithin the last seven years would be permanent ; that the y ear's chase on such rentals had risen within t he laslissix: months, and in all probability would continue to re Sir Rober t Peel that in adopting free-trade ee of the m ea sures, most talented, Peel had proved himself to be n sf tiL lg e. r.
