The Directors have now the greatest satisfaction in stating that arrangements with the South Eastern Company have been concluded, and they are fully justified in asserting that the Company will be placed in such a position as to insure the proprietary against loss ; for in the event of an Act not being obtained, they undertake to return the whole of the deposit money without any deduction what ever. And in case of the Bill passing, shares in the South Eastern Company will be allotted to the proprietors in lieu of stock in this Company.

The earliest copy of the work has been but a few days issued, and the following reviews have already appeared in the leading metropo litan journals:— SUN, December 27, 184 L This work has now reached the forty-seventh annual edition, and, to the credit of Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, who has spared no expenSe or labour in the compilation, keeps progress with the times, and marks, more than any similar publication, the great changes which have taken place, not only in our trade and commerce, but in the appearance and extent of this vast metropolis. No other nation could furnish materials for such a work, and to these is the compiler partly indebted to such a mass of useful information, useful, not to a few classes only, but to the whole community. There is not one class in the community to which some of the directions are not ab solutely necessary. It extends to 2,074 pages, printed in a close, but clear and bold type, and is accompanied by a beautiful, minute, and as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, a co rrec t map o f all the streets of London, with the names of each distinctly marked. The work does great credit to Mr. Kelly, and we have no doubt that wthhehit conveys excellent eonv e ma , n i nz l r iinns.wre forhich it t is un i p v r e e rs pa a r l ed a , pp ai r i o d b t aul the information andinfota tioiic com plete success GLOBE, Jan. 17, 1846 It is only necessary to say of this established work, that it sustains the high reputation for accuracy and comprehensiveness which the forester volumes, in ➢ir. Kelly's hands, at once :btalred for it. In fact, to all London residents this annual has been an indispens able volume. In the present year several improvements have been added. TIMES, January 9, 1846. This volume unlike many others, as it increases in bulk, increases correspondently in value ; thus every succeeding edition is more valuable than its predecessors, and the book of 1846 contains more information than the book of 1845. The volume for the current year surpasses anything of a similar kind that has ever been offered to the public as a guide-book to the names, occupations,•professiens, and habitations of the hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants of London, •r that has ever yet been issued from the press. In it, whoever has a " local habitation and a name" is noted down—that I is, if he be a housekeeper, an office-keeper, or the proprietor or keeper of anything beyond a flunished lodging or the humble oc cupant of an attic. There is an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," -a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Di rectory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking Directory," and a mass of other matter, explanatory of many things which are necessary to be known, and which are net to be feund collected together and easily accessible in any other volume. This is the 47th annual publication of the work, which is now so fully established in public estimation, for the accuracy and multi plicity of its intelligence, requisite for every class and for every day, that to be without it is almost an imputation on the common sense of all persons connected with the trade of London or the common business of life. MORNING HERALD, December 27, 1845. This eicelient3Fork, the 47th edition of which has just reached ns, keeps pace with the commercial requirements of the times. The "Post Office Directory" of some twelve years since, and the "Post Office Directory" for the coming year present a remarkable contrast. Then it was confined to a meagre list of names, comprised within a circle of two or three miles, and might have been put very conveniently into one's coat pocket. Year after year it has increased in size, and added various and valuable stores of information to its eolumns ; its hundreds of pages have grown into thousands, and it now embraces the metropolis and its suburbs, from north to south, east and west, and comprises within its voluminous pages of inarmation (now absolutely indispensable to the merchant and tradesman) an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Director 3 ," a "Trades' Directory," a "Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a "Parliamentary Directory," a "Pe stab Directory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory,"' a " Banking Directory," and a variety of other copious lists of information, the mere transcription of which would occupy co nsiderable time. Its list of "Provincial Inns" extends over 31 pages cif three columns eack •, its " Post Office London Official Directory" over 48 pages, twenty-eight of which are of four and twenty of two• columns each ; its "Street Directory" 472 pages of three colt dans each; its "Commercial and Professional Directory" 504 pages of two colntrins each ; its " Trade Directory " 623 pages of three col mmns each ; its " Law Directory " 64 pages ; " Court Directory - " 110 pages ; "Parliamentary Directory" 36 pages; "Postal Directory" (most elaborately compiled) 67 pages, &c. This portion .of, the work has been much enlarged and improved. It now suppl fen us with the hour of delivery of the London letters at each tower :.and Tillage in the United Kingdom at which there is a Post-office or Receiving house, and the time at whick the letter-box for Landon closes at each place ; also the distance of each from the post town through which the London letters are transmitted. We also a bserve that this valuable Map of London, which has for some years pa st accompanied the volume, and which has been frequently much im proved, is ren dered still more valuable in the present edition. The names of each street are most distinctly printed, and we hesitate molt to state that it is one of the best Maps of London extant. The IV ork is printed in a clear bold type. We can scarcely think it reo iui res special re commendation, for no man who really has businei to to transact can well do without it. --- • - HORNING CHRONICLE, Jan. 17, 7 147. The annual volume just published of this labor! vas and valuable, work deserves the same meed of approbation which .has been se de servedly bestowed upon its predecessors. In mere size, it is con siderably larger than any of them, not only by tl 10 introduction of new information, but in consequence of the yearly g rowth of the me tropolis, to the avocations and whereabouts of whos I inhabitants it is intende4 to form the " directory." The enormous > Sultitude of facts which are condensed in the bulky volume before us : Is really over whelming; yet they are not more than are reguis its; to make the dwellers in our overgrown city duly acquainted wit h one another's business and residences. The facts are presented in tl to same available form, and Kith the same attention to accuracy and re centness of in formation which characterise the volume for 1845, a xi, I rendered it a model of perfection as a directory. We observe ec,me useful ad ditions to the contents of the present publication, el :pecially in the section devoted to the Post-office arrangements, wh' Id i are so rapidly becoming extended and complicated under the d or ble impulse of new railways and the penny postage. MORNING ADVERTISER, Dec. 24, 18 45. This work, published by Kelly and Co., which ht to now made its annual appearance for forty-seven 3 ears, is decided) y one of the most useful works of the day. It contains an immense as mount of infor mation of the greatest importance to all in any wit 3 r connected with the metropolis. It comprises among other informal lo n, an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a "Co ur t Directory," " Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a. • " Postal Direc tory," a "Conveyance Directory," and a "Bank D ire ctory." 'Under these various divisions will be found manes of I aft trmation, com bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of labour bestowed on the compilation of this work m ust necessarily have been very great, and nothing but a liberal pt t ro nage from the public could remunerate the enterpzising proprietors T their outlay and labour. The " Post-office London Directory" is sh igularly cheap, considering the nature and quantity of the informa don it contains. It extends to no fewer than 2,000 large closely printed pages, in double and treble columns. All things considered, 11 , 3 look upon it as the cheapest, as assuredly it is the most val ;Labia and useful, annual work which emanates from the press of En; a and. The map accompanying it appears to us to be much improved: r; it is certainly equally and perfect. WEEKLY DISPATurr, par_ 28. IP ;Ai i. Tis colossal guide to the great metropolis is a a' si king illustration of tha results of British perseverance properly dir. sated, and British capital judiciously employed. Fir many years Lb a French " Al manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was cons id, wed one of the wonders of the world ; but the Messrs. Kelly have thieved a work which may be aptly termed a wonder upon It'enders. Large trey surprising and every department is arranged with so much ears, judgment, and accurate discrimination, thaf - 4 the business of though the volume be, the mass of information co ntained in it is d p w le e as hav to e a in d uil ictio s v n o a l r u y m e e r , is . e t ex o fei ffi cre m o i s m m p alphabetical. la er i fl cal an , " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyai too," and " Rank ing al , whose"to ` ` its Strpesaecghtes ing Directories." But these heads only comprise a portion of the information contained in tke work. There are of heir departments which will be found invaluable to the commercial ' public. The fol lowing extract front the preface should be quoted The advan tages possessed by the proprietor are of no ordinal y character; the most important being the means placed at his disc anal through the favour of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. 'I he General Post letter-carriers, under the direction of his Lordshir t, collect, each in his own district, the information from which the vol Itnae is compiled. To ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection the information should be simultaneous ; and hew . completely thi a is effected, is proved by the fact that an intelligent letter-carrier pt ;dorms within twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the purposes of the Post Office London Directory.' a We need not add any recommendation of this work ; its reputat tat n is established on a solid basis. BRITANNIA, December 27, 18454 This wonderful annual continues to keep pace• with the times, fast as they move. It now numbers upwards a f 2,000 closely printed pages, this immense mass of matter lx tin g so judiciously classified and arranged that any item of it can bet picked out with out the loss of a minute expended in the search- From the con nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, he is enabled to collect his information from the most authentic s• oar rtes, and (a great advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some- objection has been made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but, Independent of all ether considerations, it is co la in that the Post office must be greatly advantaged by the pul dictation, both from letters being directed more accurately, with th is book as a guide, and from its always being at hand ready for i ref erence in eases of doubt. The volume has all the merits of its pr. tdocessers ; displays, like them, the utmost care in every department.; and as a work of reference for the merchant, trader, or any pore on engaged in bust. ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most remarkable examples of great industry, Intel] tig ence, and capital being successfully employed in the production of a work for facili tating the operations of business and extending ` trading intercourse, that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious invent! or ts, affords. Of its kind, it is as near perfection As it seems possible? :for any work to be brought. JOHN BULL, January 10, 1346 . Wo have so often had to bear cur testimony to the extraordinary merits of this most laborious compilation, its thiltess and accuracy of information, and its consequent -value to ev erg' one who " lives, and moves, and has his being" in London, that sal we need now do is to state that, excellent as were the preceding-. -volumes, this one has received various improvements, which add 1 argely to that pre vious excellency. It is a work of Immense care and labour, and of corresponding utility. RAILWAY HERALD, Jan. 18416. The chief feature of the " Post-offre Directory "' to men of business is, that they cannot do without it—it Js indispensable, thumbed over, referred to, day by day, and week by week—a e< ,unting-house, in these times of letter-sending, could do almost as liven without an Ink stand as without a "Directory." We have made a kgreat many trials Ink- In different parts of the work, exercising - a careful scrutiny, and in no instance has it suffered under the test. RAILWAY EXPREss, San. 154111 It is scarcely possible for any work to be more eerrest than this, or more carefully compiled in all its laborious dotvll. It would be difficult to find a more-comprehensive or snore useful work than this adsairably arranged exhibition of this vast city.

Whoever is unqualified then, will be too late f o r the church-door lists in July, and the cember, 1847. We entreat our hitherto unqualified friends to lose not an hour that now remains to them, for arming themselves t s o t l o a f et o . t De cember, c with the only one weapon that can avail in this warfare of right against might, and of. a nation against an olig archy. Wo trust that no free trader possessed of the means of entering himself on the muster roll, will sub nmdie n the ra—Y 1 o take sub ject himself to the bitter mortification of being self doomed to stand by a passive and powerless spectator of the closing struggle. Let ncbody dream that this question either will or can be settled without a n appeal to the people — i. e. , a n a pp eal to those of the people who have got votes. Never m ind d lant about Sir Robert Peel and his " plan" —be that p what it may. The assumption that Sir Robert Peel can carry the total, immediate, and unconditional repeal of the corn-law through the two Houses of Parliament, without an intervening general election, is one of the , wildest of hallucination , . The people have done it all e thus far—and, rely on it, the people will have to do it all at last. The total, immediate, and unconditional repeal of the eorn-law will, almost certainly, be the work of the next House of Commons ; and the next House of Com mons will, almost certainly (should the present one live long enough) be elected under the registration of 1846. The time is short—yet much may still be. done in this: short time. In the precious six days that now reniain, there is time for thousands and thousands of the 'men franchised to pay money, receive their conveyances, and take out their title to a freehold interest in the soil of their country, and a share in its Government. In those counties, more particularly in which most work haa,4en already done, these few days may be invaluable. Where much has been accomplished, and the victory is all but won, a little more may make all the clfirerence between a minority and a majority—or between a mere majority, and a majority so decisive and commanding, as to pre clude all possibility of defeat, or even of contest. Once more, then, with all the earnestness and emphasis prompted by the conviction that the time, though short, is yet long enough for great successes—that victory is within our grasp, if we will but grasp it —and that the exertions of the next six days may have much to do with making the Parliament that is to make England free for ever from landlordism and artificial famine—we reiterate our fervent exhortation and entreaty to the free traders of every county in England, to - QUALIFY, QUALIFY, QUALIFY.

SELLING A WIFB.—A few days ago,• &labouring man named Lyon, resididg at Woodside, left his home with his wife and child for the purpose of visiting some relations at Warrington. On reaching the station at Lime-street, they were too late for the train ; and Mr. Lyon, being a thirity soul, immediately went to a pub lie-house in the neighbourhood to compensate himself for his disappointment. While they wefe them, 'a-gentle man Lamed Tyrer, who had also been indulging rather freely in Sir John Barleycorn, took great notice of Lyon's wife and child, whose ruddy cheeks were the very personification of health and contentment, and at length offered to purchase them for no less a sum than 500 L Lyon immediately agreed, and 51. was paid as a deposit, with which the happy husband liberally treated every body in the house with drink. Mr. Tyrer called a car to convey his purchase to his own wifeless and childless home, not to be so much longer, as he thought ; but, to his great surprise, the lady refused to acknowledge the right of her husband—lord and master though he might be—to transfer her allegiance as he liked ; and, after a long altercation, Lyon walked off with his wife and child, together with what was left of Mr. Tyrer's 5/. Lyon, who tells the story as a good joke, says he knew very well that his wife would never agree to the bargain ; but that there is no dealing with " the pride and conceit of his wife," since the gen tleman valued her at so large a sum as 5001. 7 —Liverpool Courier.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MA NAGEMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, DATED THE 29T0 DECEMBER, 1845. " By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the distance (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London ; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21% miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the scheme of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting-a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefitact, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceeded 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern R ailway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time servo a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages -. of easy and inexpousive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholders will observe the suggestion made by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regnlarity, and speed into railway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing sessi•n. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct' Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex• tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's.inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Court. of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project, satisfied" that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ' • and the solicitors report their per. fect ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, and with depbsits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what It only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines. It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 1744 miles ; and that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de termined• its promoters to bring it before the public at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would appear to stand in the way ants success. ' The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the public in possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating them. Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef lected at a very early period. The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the opening of the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend of about 12 per cent. to its shareholders. By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a direct railway communication will be opened with the impor tant towns of Leamington - and Warwick, at which latter place the proposed line will join the • branch of the London and Bir mingham Extension Railway Company, from Warwick to Fenny Compton; thus opening, by • meal's of the projected lines through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway communica tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the line passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not now possessed by them. • The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the Rugby, Warwick; and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies ; those Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of, the required capital. The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited, and notices to landowners and others duly served ; so that nothing can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, and the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies, The time within which parties must apply for Shares will expire on the 24th of January, 1846. In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or otherwise. Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHIRES.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se eurity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0011. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentie sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance 44, Societies, with the additional secur of a subscribed capital. With i' this v;ew, four-fifths of the profit*. ng from Pol icies affected b y parties on the terms of particip ' will be divided every three years, after the first 'five years, among those who assure fel* the whole term ef life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. Parties may also effect the 633111 AnCU fry payment of one-half only ef the premiums for a stipulated term of years—tne ititerKA upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate et 6 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall parti cipation of the profits. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, ou its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine In nuities.:--If 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance ofall the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be' divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, easel of whom will than receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations. Applications for Shares, is the following form, to be directed to Char.es Barker, Esq., Ne. 46, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; To the Directors of the Tontine Life Assurance Company. Gentlemen,--I request you to allot me Shares in this Company; and I hereby agree to accept the same, or any lees num ber yon may allot me, and to pay the deposit of Two Shillings per Share thereon, and also to execute the Deed of Settlement of the Company when required to do so.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 25.—Mr. John Fincham, master ship wright of this dockyard, delivered a most interesting and edifying lecture upon ship-building on Friday night last, showing that science, uncoupled with experience, was not sufficient to form a good naval constructor—that the greatest care should be taken that one good point in a ship should not be made at the expense of others. The lecturer also proved that the French have not advanced in the science of naval construction as shown in the result of the experimental trials between the English and French squa drons in 1832; but he also showed that for upwards of a century past our best ships have been built after French models, and that no improvement in any essential quality had been exhibited in our mode of construction since the last war with France ; that some of the ships of 1790 were better than those now constructed by us. The restrictions to which constructors were confined previous to 1832 might, he said, account for she slow progress made up to that tine in comparison with the French. Mr. Fincham instanced La Gloire, Pomone, Transit (small model), the Dart and Arrow, the Cornwallis, built in the East Indies — a gdod ship—in support of his opinion ; and showed by models and diagrams before the audience , that fast ness of sailing depends upon other elements than the form given to the vessel. The Caledonia and Victory in their time, with the armaments and complements they car ried, where excellent ships, as were the Endymion, Cam brian, and Castor, built in 1797. Mr. Fincham very graphi cally illustrated by diagrams the cause and effect of ships rolling, and proved that speed in sailing does not depend upon extreme sharpness or extreme fulness, as, when the ship is in a heavy sea, those bodies are placed in different positions. Mr. Fincham alluded to Admiral Hayes's Inconstant as a beautiful model and perfect ship, and said stability was one of the most important elements of a ship, and as regards sta bility that quality depends much more upon the sails than we are aware of; that fast sailing depends entirely upon the trim of the ship, and the trim of the sails; one case in point Mr. Fincham knew of, where two ships were recently com peting in a trial of sailing; if both had attended to the brac ing of the yards, the result would have been equality; whereas one did attend, and the other did not, to that impor tant feature in seamanship, and consequently one was con siderably beaten by the other. If we carried on experiments with a view to scintific purposes, we should, in Mr. Fin cham's opinion, attain much more excellence in naval archi tecture. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, after having her lower masts taken out, and a considerable portion of her lead ballast removed, apparently for the purpose of going into dock as soon as one was ready to receive liar, too in her lower masts again on Friday, and was taken back to her moorings yesterday. Her lower masts have been shortened by the head about three feet, and the centre shaft of her engine, with some other minor parts of her machinery, taken out. It is still sup posed and reported she is to be docked, but when, or far what purpose, does not clearly appear. The Fairy Royal yacht tender, Master-Commander Ro berts, arrived yesterday afternoon from Weymouth. The General Palmer naval transport, Lieutenant Wool dridge agent, was towed out to Spithead by the Echo on Friday afternoon, and sailed the same evening for Deptford with stores, where she will undergo such repair as to enable her to be employed again without risk. The Grampus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin, remains at Spit head, where her alterations are progressing. She is to be fitted with Brown's patent chain-cable compressors. If the weather (at present and for some days past awfully bois terous) does not moderate, she will be towed into this harbour to complete her alterations, Sm. We are informed, that in consequence of an error in her outfit, the alterations in the fittings of this frigate will be very extensive, as taunter lower masts have been given to her than the regular establishment prescribes, while the rigging has remained of the established length ; the consequence is, that all the shrouds are too short. Whether these reported irregularities are correct we do not pretend to affirm, but this is certain, her lower-masts are dis proportionately taunt. The Alban, steam transport, Master-Commander Aylen, arrived at Kingstown from Cork on the 22d inst. The Java and Alfred, heavy frigates of 50 guns, are ordered to be advanced for the pendant with all dispatch. The Scourge. steam bomb vessel, Commander Caffin, is ready for sea, and will leave the harbour when the weather moderates. _ The Merwede, Dutch transport, Captain Van llasseldt, bound from the Texel to Surinam, is detained at the Mother bank by contrary winds and foul weather. Her officers have received all the courtesies due to foreign visitors at the hands of the Port-Admiral and Lieutenant-Governor. They have, accompanied by M. Vandenbugl his Netherlands Ma jesty's Vice-Consul, visited all the Government establish ments of the ports and garrison, and been most hospitably entertained. The Barretto Junior, transport, Lieutenant Griffiths agent, is detained at Spithead by contrary winds and foul weather. She is ready to sail for Bermuda when the weather will permit. The schooner Ann and Elizabeth, wrecked on the Spit, still holds together; her masts, however, are the only parts visi ble above water. If the present weather continues, she must shortly go to pieces. Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, the agents to Lloyd's, are indefatigable in their endeavours to save all that is possible of the cargo, &c.
