NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Nov. 19.—0 n Sunday last, a little before noon, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Achilles was telegraphed, and, notwithstanding the roughness of the weather, she gallantly breasted the waves, and gained the great harbour at half-past two o'clock, having at her main a red ensign, indicating that Sir P. Stuart, Governor of Malta, was on board. On the vessel taking up her moorings, she was immediately visited by Mr.,Bonavia, superintendent of quarantine and marine police, accompanied by his assistant, Mr. Fenech, who, after the usual interrogataries, gave pratique to the steamer. By the arrival of the French steamer Longsor, on the 14th inst., advice, from Bombay to the 15th ult. were received here, having arrived at Alexandria on the 10th inst., and forwarded. The bulk of the mails arrived by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental this day. The Lengsor pursued her voyagelto Marseilles on the day of her arrival. The Neapolitan steamer Mongibello left port for Naples and ports of Sicily on the evening of the 13th instant. On the 15th inst. the French mercantile steamer Hellespont arrived here with passengers from Mar seilles. She encountered very severe weather, and received some damage, of a very inconsiderable nature, however. _ The Hellespont left port for the Levant on the follow ing day. The French merchant steamer Bosphore, from the Levant, also arrived on Sunday last. The English steamer Levantine, from the Levant, ar rived here on the 16th instant, and continued her route to Liverpool on the same day. Her Majesty's steamer Spitfire, with the Indian mail sent through France, arrived on the 16th; London letters of the 7th instant were received by this occasion. The French st eamer Ly curgue , w ith mails for Mar seilles, touching at ports of Italy and Sicily, left port on the morning of the 16th instant. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Arinl, which has relieved the Iberia on this station, left port on the 16th instant for Alexandria, with mails and passengers for India, received by the Achilles, via Southampton, and the Spitfire from Marseilles. By the Spitfire orders were, it is reported, received to send home her Majesty's ship Inconstant, to be relieved by the America. The Amiralty have also ordered an inquiry into the report made from Malta of an unusual degree of punish ment having been inflicted on board the Amazon. That ship is ordered to join the fleet of Sir W. Parker in the waters he now cruises in. _ _ _ Orders are equally given for the Hecla to be relieved by the Gladiator, the Locust, the Jackal, and Blood hound steamers, all on this station, to be sent home with the least possible delay. Her Majesty's ship Tyne is ready for sea. She will be paid off on her arrival in England. In mentioning her departure, it is gratifying to report her one of the finest crafts ever seen in these waters. It is not less gra tifying to add, that a black list has never been known during the three years and a half she was commissioned by Captain Gescock, nor has a man ever been put in irons. The French steamer Tancride, from Marseilles and ports of Laly, arrived here on the 17th instant, and proceeded on the evening of the same day to the Levant. The French steamer Zaire, from Marseilles direct, arrived here also on Tuesday last, and proceeded on the same day to Alexandria and Beyrout. PouTsmouTa, Nov. 29.—The Rattlesnake surveying vessel, Captain Owen Stanley, having had her com passes adjusted, will go out to Spithead to-morrow. The Lord Bish.lp of Norwich (her gallant captain's father) read prayers, and delivered a most eloquent and suitable discourse this morning, to the officers and crew. By the latest advices, we learn that the Inflexible steam sloop, Commander Hoseason, made the passage out from Plymouth to the Cape of Good Hope in fifty days, without coaling on the way. It will be remem• bered that the very unfavourable news brought by the Mutine, 12-gun brig, Commander Crawford, of the dreadful, head to which the Kafir insurrection had ar rived, caused the Inflexible to be hurried away without even allowing time for her necessary equipment, and a most unusual step was taken to hasten her departure — viz , her crew were paid their advance wages on a Sun day, the 9th of August, on which day, at 9 A.M., she left Devonport for her destination. A Cape paperin terestingly details the voyage out thus : " The Inflexible is the first steamer that has ever sailed direct for the Cape without calling anywhere. She has steamed a distance of 5,500 miles (sailing the remaining distance) on the small quantity of fuel origi nally taken on board when she was expected to join the experimental squadron of steamers, the whole being only 390 tons—her coal-bunkers not even being filled, as she was started without her commander having been af forded time to get the quantity of fuel on board which he deemed necessary, namely, 80 tons more; the want of which, it is estimated, has protracted the voyage 10 days. Notwithstanding this drawback, the voyage has been completed in about the shortest time taken by a mer chant steamer (calling at several ports on the way), and in considerably less time than aay other man-of-war steamer has yet been: able to accomplish it, although with a much greater expenditure of fuel, purchased on the way at an enormous cost, the contract price at ;Ma deira being 51. per ton. Had even 80 tons been purchased there, the cost would have been greater than that of all the coal she had originally on board, as the contract price to Government in England is about 16s. per ton. .Apart from the f ac t o f th e voy age h av i ng b een d one i n l ess time than that taken by any other steamer, our colonial readers will rejoice to perceive the energy and prompti tude with which this vessel was dispatched, as shown in the saving of Monday, by running her out on the coals already shipped, and which would probably have sufficed had she not encountered weather particularly unfavourable, not having experienced any N.E. trade to help her engines, as is invariably counted on at or near Madeira. She was consequently obliged to steam with out intermission across the line, and into the S.E. trade, before she could be placed under sail; steaming without stopping her engines 3,859 miles!" The Inflexible is a steamer built upon the design of Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, of 1,124 tons, and 378 horse •power, built at Pembroke in 1844, this being her first trip. She arrived at Table Bay on the morning of the 28th of September, where she landed Lieutenant-Colonels M'Kinnon, Montrevor, Nicholls, and Napier, and Majors Stocks, Whitnall, and O'Grady, and Mrs. O'Grady ; also 55,000/. in specie, arms, &c. ; then went round to Simon's Bay to refit, prior to leaving for New Zealand. The Hydra steam -sloop, Commander Young, sent in a fine prize slaver to St. Helena for adjudication on the 6th ult.—the Amelia. The Sealark, 10, Commander Gooch, sailed from St. Helena on the 14th ult. for a cruise. She took into St. Helena a prize on the 7th, named the Tarracona. The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Lysaught, arrived yesterday morning from Woolwich. She is intended for the coast of Africa, and takes out Captain Hutton, to succeed Commander Morrell in the Governorship of the Island of Ascension. She will come into harbour to-day to complete fuel, and make good defects, after which she will be paid advance at this port. The Belleisle, 72, troop-ship, Captain Kingcome, sailed from St. Helen's on Friday night for Devonport. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, was towed into harbour on Friday. It is expected she will be paid off. The 2E.Aus, Provision depot, Master-Commander Thomas, has arrived from Sheerness. The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, had her com passes tried on Friday, and will be ready to go out of harbour t o -day. During the past week 700 charges, of 101 b. each, for shotted 32-pounders, mounted round these walls have been made up in this garrison, and are deposite d . in the magazines at the Queen's bastion, ready for use. We mentioned the order for their supply some weeks since. It is understood to be the intention of the Board of Ordnance to remove the laboratory from its present site near the extremity of the Portsea lines to a spot at Hardway, on the Gosport side of the harbour. The Myrtle steam•dispatch-boat, Second Master- Commander Battiston, conveyed dispatches to Osborne yesterday, which arrived from London by express. APPOINTMENTS.—AIexander J. Cambier, Naval Cadet, to the Raleigh ; Maurice Craigie, Midshipman, to the Excellent ; John De Courcy Agnew, Lieutenant, to the St. Vincent ; Assistant-Surgeon Robert P. R. Sparrow, confirmed to the Resistance. PROMOTlONS.—Lieutenant George Blane, to Com mander ; Lieutenant James A. Mends, to Commander ; Lieutenant George C. Adams, to Commander. DISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN A RAILWAY PACKAGE.—NoTTINGRAisi, FRIDAY.—About nineteen days ago, a wicker basket was booked at the railway station in this town, and was sen t o ff i n a regu l ar way by train to London. The person bringing the basket particularly requested that it might not be placed out side the carriage, nor crushed, and if possible it might be put inside upon a seat along with the passengers, as it was to be conveyed with great care. The parcels office being at the time rather thronged, the porter, Willoughby, did not take particular notice of the per- son giving him the directions, but to the best of his recollection it was a female, rather low in stature, and of a dark complexion. Yesterday (Thursday) the basket having been refused was brought back to the station by the mail train arriving at half-pa,t two o'clock in the morning, and, according to custom, when an owner for a parcel cannot be found, Willoughby opened the basket, when, to his utter amazement, he found a dead infant. Its mouth appeared to have had considerable moisture in it, which had become quite mouldy and green. Underneath the infant was a quantity of cloths and straw, and a letter addressed to " W. J. Smith, Esq., Suffolk." The letter was in a decent handwriting, and from a young female in a village within six miles of Nottingham, and after requesting that the father of the infant would take care of it, warned him against seducing any one as he had done her. The basket with the child and letter were immediately handed over to the police. An inquest was held by Mr. Coroner Browne, on Satur day last, at the watchhouse, Nottingham, on the body of the child. No clue, however, to either the mother or the party to whom the parcel was directed having yet been discovered, the inquiry was adjourned sine die, to allow further search to be made.

(From the Times.) Skill and perseverance have triumphed over the per tinacious resistance of matter, and the Portsmouth authorities, as has been duly reported, have succeeded this week in subduing her Majesty's steam-ships Avenger and Retribution into four hours' utility and obedience. Both vessels consented to be taken out for an airing, and returned in a satisfactory temper, without having either stubbornly refused to stir, or ruptured themselves by too impetuous an exertion of their strength. It is obvious that no ships in the world know better how to behave themselves than ours, whenever their capricious tempers happen to be in some degree conformable. Lest the remarks which we, from time to time, think fit to make upon this point should be misunderstood, we readily avow that it is with no wish to disparage any particular system, or to depreciate the difficulties in the way of complete success, that we call public notice to failures which are, indeed, something rather more than occa sional. A new element has been introduced into navi gation, naval architecture, and naval warfare ; we have, fortunately, as yet had little necessity for putting our inventions into practice, and we can only be guided by the results of such experiments as can be made with the nearest imitation of reality. Excellence is no more likely to come by intuition in the construc tion of steam-frigates than in any other department of science. We must make indulgences for the rudimen tary epoch of the system. We know, perhaps, little what steam can do; certainly we know little what it will do. It may transfigure the aspect of naval warfare, or it may, as is sometimes suspected, prove considerably less influential. It is obviously safer, however, to act on the former hypothesis, and this we can hardly do with out some uneasiness and dissatisfaction at our present plight. We have not made sufficient progress. What ever may be the explanation of the fact—whether the difficulties of construction and adaptation increase in a greater ratio than the mere scale of the ship—or whether we have at some point taken a wrong turn = it is cer tain that we have by no means improved in proportion to our efforts or our experience. The two little Deptford vessels of 1822—the Comet and the Lightning—are no toriously better craft, of their class, than those that have been built since; and it is hardly too much to say that the latest specimens of our skill are the least suc cessful ; so that an inference might be drawn, with, apparent plausibility, that we were actually retro grading. Moreover, in the single real trial, and in the most decisive of the experiments, to which our steamers have been subjected, the result has been unfavourable. At Acre they answered less than any other class the expectations that had been formed of the new system of warfare, and in our squadrons of evolution they are pretty invariably found wanting. They put us to great cost, and produce no adequate return. They don't sail, and it is surmised they won't fight. We build them of wood, and find that they won't float; we build them of iron, and find that a single shot may possibly send them to the bottom. Whether these deficiencies are the attributes of our steamers or of abstract steamers, we do not take upon ourselves to pronounce; but the question is one of immense importance, and its public discussion must tend to bring us more nearly to the truth, and to diminish the cost of the investigation. A pamphlet, from which we published an extract a few days back, upon the engines of our steam-navy, points to an element in the consideration of these matters sometimes neglected. It is possible that the fault may, at all events occasionally, lie exclusively in the engine-room, that the construction of the vessel may be admirable, and that she may be unexceptionably manned and handled, and yet be half her time imperfect, and the other half incapable, owing to the mistakes of the manufacturer, after she had left the surveyor's hands. Though the writer of the pamphlet does not conceal his personal interest in questioning the plan by which engines have been supplied to the navy, yet his statements and arguments are liable to the less suspicion in so far as they are allowably founded on official returns made to the House of Commons upon Captain Gore's motion for that purpose some time ago. It is there shown that the engines furnished by one particular house, in two cases out of the five included in the returns, were actually incapable of duty for the respective pe riods of 393 and 353 days out of a service of three years ; while in two other cases the engines from ano ther manufactory were only invalided for 38 and 51 days each, and yet that the latter house obtained scarcely any share of Government favours compared with the former. Unhappily, though these returns were made in 1843. they are particularly apropos to 1846, as may be seen by our naval intelligence week after week. The effect still remains, whatever may be the existing- cause. It is, undoubtedly, in the highest degree desirable that the benefits arising from the free play of public com petition should not be lost to so material an item of public expense, and so important an object of national excellence. If the best engines can be supplied on the Clyde, they should come from the Clyde ; nor can we conceive it possible that the Admiralty can be without statistical returns setting beyond a doubt the facts requisite to form a judgment on this point. Those engines which are proved to do the most work with the least coals and fewest repairs are the engines with which our steam-ships should be fitted ; and this discovery can be made, we should imagine, without any fear of bias or delusion from ex parte statements or professions. The responsibility upon this head. however, is not en tirely shifted from the shoulders of the Surveyor of the Navy ; for, independently of that supervision which he may be presumed to exercise, the future quality of the engines is materially affected by the conditions which he imposes on the manufacturer. Limits as to space and weight must of course be attended to, but it is said that they have been assigned somewhat arbitrarily during our magnanimous experiments, and that the results have been found detrimental. And there is one point con nected with these discussions which common humanity forces peremptorily on our notice. We now employ steamers pretty generally on the African coast, and the climate to which these vessels may be thus destined should be at least as much considered in their construc tion as the curious speculations of a naval architect. A premium has lately been set upon small engine-rooms, and the authorities have been humoured on this head with very little regard to the lives of the unfortunate engineers. But let our readers only imagine the conse quences of superadding to the deadly plagues of our slave-trade service a confinement for two-thirds of the day to a small furnace-hole ! The place, in its own nature, is as little like earth as possible, and we surely need not lend it the appliances of our caprice to effect a more complete transformation. The Sacred Harmonic Society's next Concert will take place on Wednesday next, when Handel's Solomon will be performed. A CHRISTIAN'S LIBERALITY TOWARDS A JEWISH CHABITY.—It is with the liveliest sense of gratification that we record the following act of liberality by a Christian gentleman towards a Jewish Institu tion. An application having been made by the Build ing Committee of the Jews' Orphan Asylum to James Chadwick, Esq., requesting that gentleman to lay down pavement on the grounds attached to the building, and to inform them what the expense would be for the same, Mr. Chadwick was pleased to state in reply, that, if the committee would allow him, he would be happy to do the work required, without any charge to the charity, as it would afford him pleasure to give his assistance in so good a cause. This expression of kindness and benevolence was readily accepted by the committee, who acknowledged it with sincere and grat- ful thanks, requesting that the donor would allow his name to be recorded as an honorary life governor of the charity ; and, in commemoration of this act of benevo lence, resolutions were adopted by them to the following effect:—That the following resolutions be transmitted by letter to James Chadwick, Esq., for his munificent do nation :—Resolved, in order to mark the sen se of the committee of the above institution of the liberality and benevolence of James Chadwick, Esq., in paving at his own expense the court-yard, and other parts of the premises, that his name be enrolled up ni the list of Life Governor* of this Charity. 2nd. That the name end circumstances attending the munificent donation of James Chadwick, Esq. to this institution, be engraved on some conspicuous part of the pavement, to per petuate the before-mentioned act, and to be inscribed in the following terms:—The entire pavement of these premises was presented and laid down at the sole ex pense of James Chadwick, Esq., a Life Governor of this Charity.—November 15, 1846.—Jewish Chronicle. THE COBDEN TESTIMONIAL.—The committee for managing the Liverpool contribution to the Cobden 'und have decided upon closing it on the 31st of December— a circumstance to which we must emphatically direct the public attention, because, so far, this town has not yet acquitted itself of the duty it owes to the cham pion of free trade. Thousands who peruse these lines are already better off, and will for years obtain aug mented profits in their business compared with what would have been their success in life had not the great measure of 1646 been carried ; and although many were the labourers in the field, to whom the harvest of a nation's prosperity will be owing, yet Richard Cobden was the one leader whose argumentative plough penetrated the most stubborn soil, and whose well-scattered seeds of thought have quickened into growing intelligence throughout the length and breadth of the land. All men owe him a substantial compliment—something in requital of his labour, and as monetary first fruits of their gain. Many have subscribed handsomely, but others have, hitherto, held back that from they the work. Ti) the latter we now ap peal,may no longer be forgetful of what is bu t d e u e in fr a o m m a t nt m r ; w t i h e h a t sh t a h l e l y do m j a u y at h ic a e st t e o n t t h o ei c r ontri gra titude, and which shall . be worthy the acceptance of him who devoted years of toil, and has sacrificed health and wealth in serving the whole country, by producing a new state of things beneficial to all, and in the profitable results of which he can only ya ticipate as an individual member of the commu nity. It will, in future years, be a reminiscence all,that athoncurablothe right to all, and gratifying to the descendants of time, anti in the right way, they paid a tribute of recompense to one of the most able and most disinterested of our country's benefactors.— Liverpool Mercury. CAUSES OF HASTE AND CARELESSNESS IN BUILD ING.—We have on various occasions pointed out the im• perfect manner in which bricklaying is now performed in England, and the causes which have led to this state of things. " Operatives, speaking generally, have ceased to feel interested in the production of good work ; all they desire is to get over the ground, and very often this is the case with their masters too." " Hasty bad work, induced by competition and the operations of spe culative builders, has become so much the habit of our bricklayers, that it is difficult to find men capable of producing superior work; or, at all events, it is difficult to induce them to abandon their hasty, careless mode of proceeding., and exercise the skill they possess." Use begets indifference : whatever has answered the purpose once, will do so again, it is thought; and so men g o on, house after house, in the same defective course, without once thinking of its inefficienc?, or making any efforts at improvement. The wonder is, not that an accident does occasionally, too often, indeed, occur, but that structures se raised should stand at as.—The Builder. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY (WISBECH to SPALDING).

The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the id alf-credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Cora pany's.affairs, i.n Jomiary, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc lion of the 'other half of the rates. Should the life binned survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will rexounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon; or in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol lowing table : Sum Assured.

R EFORMATION in CLEANING CHIM NEYS. The use of the PORTLAND PATENT SPRING BRUSH and CHIMNEY-SWEEPING A PPARATUA obviates all the annoyance and inconvenience consequent upon the present disgu•ting plan. By it a flue is completely cleansed without one partizle of soot enter ing the apartment. A short time ago an experiment was made with this apparatus at the House of Commons, the success of which was complete. Sheets of writing-paper were placed upon the chimney piece, and in various other parts of the room, and after the comple tion of the sweeping, not one particle of soot was discernible upon any of the sheets of paper.
