The following is the letter of resignation addressed by the Count de Montalemb*rt to M. de Cas a bi anca : " Paris, January 23, 1852. "M. to Ministre,—ln consequence o f t h e d ecrees which appeared this morning, I con s id er myse lf ca ll e d on to perform an imperative . duty; and I p ra y y ou ac cordingly to be good enough to present, for the accept ance of the President of the Republic, my resignation of the functions of Member of the Consultative Com mission, created on the 2d December last. Though that Commission lags not been consulted on any of the acts of the Executive, there does not the less exist, in the eyes of the public, for those who compose it, a species of solidarite with the policy o f th e G overnmen t, w hi c h it becomesimpossible for me henceforth to accept. I ap peal to your honour, M. l e Mi n i s t re , an d i n case o f necessity, to that of Prince Lunis Napoleon himself, to make my resignation public through the same channel as my nomination, hal is, by its insertion in the Moniteur. " Accept, M. to Ministre, &e., " CH. DE MONTALEMBERT. " To M. de Casabianca, Minister of State." The following letter, resigning his office of Pro cureur of the Court of Cassatioc, has been addressed by M. Dupin to the President of the Republic : " TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC. " I regret exceedingly that previous to the publication of the decree which 1 have read this morning in the Moniteur, you had not heard my opinion with the same benevolence you have sometimes manifested towards me. I should have tried to demonstrate to you, not merely in the private interest of the children, the greater part minors, of the late King, of whom I am one of the testa mentary executors, but in the interest of your own Go verement, that those who have suggested that measure are not acquainted with the facts; and that they have disregarded all the rules of law and equity. In fact, there is an extreme exaggeration (at least to the amount of half) in the estimate made of the property of the Orleans family. In law the decree violatsa in its essence the very , principle of property. The right of property was recog nized, after a solemn discussion, in the person of the late King, by the 22d and 23d clauses of the law of March 2, 1832; and in the person of his children by the very acts of the Revolution of February, by the decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 25th October, 1848, and by the law of the National -As.seiably of the 4th Feb ruary, 1850, promulgated by your Government, and authorised the loan of 20,000,000 on that property by your Minister of Finance. Thu 3, public right, will, special laws, contracts, all have recognised in the hands of the Princes of the House of Orleans their right to the property which the decree of the 22d of January deprives them of all at once, and in a manner so absolute that the sacred rights of the tomb, the burial-ground of Dreux, is not even excepted. If the Constitution of the 15‘n January was in vigour, the Senate might be appealed to in virtue of the 26th article, which permits that body to make opposition to the promulgation of laws which are contrary to the invio lable character of property.' In the present state of thing's, the only resource is to appeal to you, Prince, and to invoke your wisdom and the magnanimity ef yew' own feelings when they aro again consulted and more dAilerately lietenc;d to. But if . 11efie rigorous mea sures are to be maintainc,:, a great scruple arises from the depth of my conscience. As Procureur General to the Court of Cessation fur nearly 22 years; as the prin cipal organ of the law in that nigh branch of jurisdic tion; chargcd as I am by the Government to proclaim the constant respect to right, and to require the reversal and the annulling of the acts which violate the laws, or which constitute the incompetence or the ex cesses of the Government, how shall I be able henceforth to exorcise the same firmness if acts are introduced in our legislation which are in contradiction with those principles? I feel myself bound, therefore, to tender you my resignation. But I pray you, Prince, and in an earnest manner, not to misunderstand my motives. The resolution I have adopted has nothing to do with politics. As Presi dent of the late Assembly I rigorously kept myself apart from parties and their fatal divisions, and limited myself to maintain, as much as I indivi dually could, the legal and moral doctrines on which the essential order of civilized society reposes. After the coup d'etat of the 2d December, against which it became my dety to protest, us I have done, I awaited the judgment of the people appealed to by you. After that solemn judgment I adhered frankly to the im mense powers which were the result of that appeal, considering them as the strongest guarantee that could be presented to preserve or re-establish those prin ciples which a wild Socialism had endangered and menaced; and, as a public functionary, my co operation was loyally given to you. But, at the present moment, sad on a question of civil right, and of private rights, of natural equity, and of all Christian no tions of what is just, and unjust, and which I have che rished in my soul for more than 50 years as jurisconsulte and as magistrate, I feel myself absolutely called on to resign my functions as Procureur-General. " Be pleased, Prince, to accept the expression of my sentiments of respectful consideration. (Signed) " DIIPIN." PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 17th. The Chamber of Deputies was constituted for le gislative functions on the 17th inst. Scriber Silva Sanches was president, and Senhor de Derramado vice-president.

ROYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE• The management of this theatre is evidently bent upon sustaining the popularity already secured. Last night a performance that might have been thought beyond the po4er of " Marionettes" was attempted, the success of which was as decided as that of the previous pieces Well might the manager exchum, in his opening address, quoting the language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer— " There's nothing figures can't be made to show." An axiom the truth of which forced itself on our minds when we saw th e s 3 well-dressed puppets gutting the action to the word in that bustling buyletta of Peak's, The Bottle Imp, missing no point, overlooking no effect, and performing to a nicety all those "magical tricks" which, not easy to n'lng actors, would appear impos s ibl e t o their 'mon n prototypes. The house was cro w d e d w ith a datghted audience. CIIARIII7A3LE BEQUESTS. By the will of Thomas Dickinson, Esq., late of Upper 1:13110way, the contingent reversionary interest of 12,000/.

CHURCH, THE FRENCH ARMY, AND THE FRENCH PEOPLE. (From the Times.) To an Englishmace English bora and English bred, there is nothing mere inexplicable than the tact of a great nation, that has long enjoyed a considerable degree of freedom, and with it a very high degree of honour and prosperity, suaislenly resigning itself to a vulgar Eastern despotism. Our wonder is as great as if we were assured that a respectable neighbour had assigned himself over, body and soul, to the spirit of darkness, or that one of our most distinguished statesmen had taken pay of a foreign Power. What sort of fascination can there possibly be in perjury, violence, and robbery? What can there be to love in hail--a-million bayonets, to admire in the grossest duplicity, to approve in a rapid succession of the most arbitrary and cruel decrees, or to respect in the profanation of religion to give a false sanction to these deeds? Can selfishness be so attrac tive, and cupidity so sublime? We naturally ask what Franca can be about to fall down and worship the brazen image with so much unanimity and zsal? But we are grieved to say that our columns this day supply a living example of the power of tyranny to fascinate a certain class of m:ndi. The collector of the Faggot of Sticks from France, in the course of his rather unprofitable ex plorations, wandered into the Elyse', and was adroitly laid hold of by the embryo despot, went under his wing to a review, received his hospitalities, and came away overpowered by the , condesceesion of a man who lived in a palace, who went about with a splendid staff at his heels, and who could review a large army whenever he pleased. Sir Francis was evidently awestruck by the near contemplation of semi-imperial majesty, for ho already perceived the whole emperor bursting out from the presidential slough. Thus duly im pressed, the worthy Baronet is astonished to find, on his return to this country, that while he is surveying the rapid developmerit of the imperial plot with ecstatic admiration and profound self-abasement, he stands almost alone in these dignifying emotions. It is his sole " mission" to illustr ate in hie own person the effect of brute power on the less masculine kind of understand liras. In this prostrate mood he is very naturally astonished to find the press of this country venturing to speak out about Louts Napoleon just as it speaks out about every othe r p otrson or t hi ng on the face of this earth; that is, without any reserve. Accordingly be writes to expostulate :—How can you venture to speak thus? Are you not afraid to provoke his Imperial Ma jolly and his faithftil subjects? You really bad better be quiet, or yen will, feel the weight of his displeasure. Besides, he is the very man for France, and Heaven has doubtless sent him to restore that unfortunate country. Such is the homily which our friend with the Faggot is reading to us, and, through us, to the people of this country. With all due respt ct for imperial grandeur, for impe rial hospitalities, fat half-a -million bayonets, for a sham constitution, and art oppressed nation, we beg to reply that we feel a still h igber respect for our own position as the free press of Ear ape. Newspapers, in our humble opi nion, are quite as - respectable institutions as emperors, and much snore so than a man who, hav ing b een e l ecte d to be President of a Republic,. and having sworn b e f ore Cod to preserve it, crushed it, and re; up a despotism in its place. If one man may itisue decrees, another man may put forth opinions, and milt opinions ere th e on l y m resiaieg correctirils of wrong decress. The nations of Europe have their respective positions and influences, some of them by no means to our taste; use allow it, or rather we cannot help it; but we certainly think that we are fully entitled to the free exercise of our own, which been r v e e t freely um spoken is. have bn to sp ea k t h e truth..

Way is . be to fill cur metropoli s w i t h ex il es , dragged from thou- beds without a cri cae , and thrown into - dungeons, and thrust at the point of the bayonet from their native shores, and we to beware lest LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1852. the faintest murmur of our reprobation be heard in the streets of Paris? If there are Napoleonist ideas, there are also Briti:h ideas. Louis Napoleon in dustriously aud pointedly reverts to the status quo of 1814, desires France to forget every thing that has happened in the intetval, and, his uncle having committed a murder, demands to rifle the pockets of the slain. That status quo was one of aggression against the whole world, and it is vain to deny—we wish it could be denied—that aggression has actually begun. These six weeks have already reduced Belgium to dependence. The Belgian Minister receives Imperial missive?, and French police agents actually keep watch within sight of the Royal and Legislative palaces of Brussels. Why are we to wait till we are touched ourselves? It Is of small avail to do so. Sir Francis believes in developments; so do we. He says that self-government invariably leads to despotism. We say that political despotism invariably leads to inter national aggression. No absolute monarch in France ever was content with France, or even contented him self with extra-European conquests. By speaking out in time, and by showing that the lessons of history are not thrown away upon us, we may possibly avert the natural consequences of the French usurpation. By holding our tongues, we should be both hastening and deserving those consequences. We are no great admirers of a Republican Govern ment, but, as the Example of the United States suffi ciently proves, we have more affinity with it than with despotism. The descendants of Englishmen may be come citizens, but they will never become slaves. Self government, which Sir Francis considers so fatal to order, entering largely into our own institutions, we have every reason to feel more indulgent, or rather to show more respect for the Government of February, 1848, than for that of December, 1851, for the former, in fact, with all its faults, was much more like our own. But, if the Republic has failed, whose fault is it? Sir Francis says, " Only two months ago there existed between the French and British people the most friendly relations." Under what form of government was that ? He speaks of the miser able results of that sel;-government which, since 1848, has been afflicting and desolating "all classes of the community." What conseq,et,ces does he speak O? On the whole, France has effected a censideraele improvement on the state into which, in the first instance, the revolution had plunged her. The chief disquietudes of the last twelve months, the decline of public confidence, and the mutual suspicion of classes, have arisen, not from the Republican part of the Go vernment, but from the notorious intrigues of Louis Napoleon to overthrow that part, and to do, in fact, what he has done. To compare the troubles of the Republic with the tranquillity of the despotism is, in truth, only to compare Louis Napoleon with himself— to compare the struggle fur power with the acquisition o f power. But the respect with which, as Sir Francis says, we have ever treated the Republic, shows that we have no disposition to " insult" the French people. At this moment we do not believe them to be free agents, and therefore we put them out of the question alto gether. As for our insults to the army, considering that if one musket is fired in our streets the whole me tropolis rings with it f or a century a f ter , an d i t i s re cordedin monuments and stigmatized by anniversaries, the French army must not take it amiss if we cannot appreciate the massacres of the Boulevards. In this re spect we must own to a natural difference of tastes. As for our insults to the clergy, considering that the Church of France claims to be also the Church of Eng land, and at least one Parisian journal enters into our theological controversies with the most delightful free dom of remark and the most amiable indifference to English sympathies, civil as well as spiritual, we really think that it is no great impertinence on our part to notice the, significant interchange of civilities and pledges between the high-minded clergy and the pious Prince President of France. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—You have lately published so many anonymous letters on the deftneeless state of Great Britain, that I hope you will not deny me, who have not been insensi ble of our danger, the privilege of submitting to the con sideration of y our readers a few facts, the object of which is to prevent the calamity of war, for which the country is, all of a sudden, so loudly prescribing. 1. Only two months ago there existed between the French and British people the most friendly relations. 2. Since the 2d of December the English press has done all in its power to insult and exasperate the French nation. For instance, in the leading article of the Times of yesterday it is stated— " France has crouched before Napoleon the Second without one of the excuses which palliated her submis sion to Napolean the First.. The tyranny is not only far greater, but its agents are incomparably m eaner . Th e Church has degraded itself by an alliance with those who wield the powers of this ignoble tyranny. The army, instead of the saviour, has become the executioner of France. The middle classes are terrified, the lower orders careless and acquiescent.", 8. Now, although in my Faggot I s t a t e d, " I am firmly of opinion that, under a mild exterior, with gentle manners and a benevolent heart, Louis Napoleon is an honest, bold, highminded statesman, whose object is to maintain the peace of Earope and the real glory and honour of France," I most readily admit that ever since the 2d of December he has been acting the part of a despot; but I do not condemn him on that account, because, from calm and attentive observation, and from repeated conversations with people of the middle and lowest classes in Paris, I confidently believe fhat it is the desire of the French army, and of the French people, to establish a strong despotic government as the only means to free themselves from the miserable results of that self-government which, since 1848, has been afflict ing and desolating all classes of the community. I be. here that if self-government were established in Eng land, long before three years' trial of it our men of pro perty, our middle classes, and, above all, our labouring classes, would unanimously prescribe the same remedy; indeed, i n t h e history of mankind, it is recorded that it is in the nature of a people to fly from the evils of anar chy to despotism. 4. Now, instead of insulting and exasperating the French Church, the French army and the French peo them as a g ang o f s l aves , '° crouch pie, by repeseuting ing" under the tyranny of one who, by a strange con tradiction of words, is sarcastically termed " Napoleon the Little," surely the dignified course for the British people to pursue is calmly and incffensively to watch the working of a system that must very quickly speak for itself. If the French people appro ve o f t h e say i ngs an d doings of the ruler whom by an overwhelming majority they have, under u nivcsal suff rage an d b y vote by ballot, just elected, he will remain in the Palace of the Tuile ries. If they disapprove of the Constitution he is cook ing for them, they will trot him in a police fourgon to Hain. _ . 5. But I submit that the insults which the English Pres.; are daily offering to the French Church, army, and people, aro not only unnecessary, and, considering our utterly defenceless condition, highly impolitic, but incon sistent with the course they but lately pursued. In 1848, when the French people, all of a sudden, determined to exchange their Monarchy for a Republic, the English press very properly, and very powerfully, preached non-interference with the concerns of our neighbours, and accordingly the French nation, without the smallest insult, was lett to flourish or decay under the Government of its choice. As soon, however, as the all of a su dd en, to abandon a French people resolved , republican form of Government—in short, to fly from anarchy to despotism, the English press has done, and is doing, all in its power to pr ovo k e t h e P res id ent, t h e i.rmy, and the people of F rance to war with Great Britainl . . _ . It is with regret that I intrude upon your readers the above facts and observations, but as I have just received from Paris a letter from a stranger, who informs me he has lived there some 18 or 20 years with his family, and who states " The Eoglish press is awakening real hatred among the Parisians," I feel confident that, as it is easier to prevent war than to end it, you will, with the mpartial justice which distinguishes your journal, give ,nsertion to this homely warni ng ,— " Those who in quarrels interpoFe "Will often wipe a bloody nose." I am, &ir, your constant reader, And obedient servant, F. B. HEAD. Oxendon, Jan. 24. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln the Times of the 19th you give a list of our reserved steamers. It looks very well on paper, hut how, sir, are we to man them? We are now in the 37th year of peace, and although our nursery for seamen has been diminishing in the same proportion steamers have been increasing, nu Minister appears to have turned his attention to manning the navy in the event of war. We have spent millions of money in building ships to rot, but not a farthing in providing a systematic plan for manniug the fleet we have built. Ships, sir, without men are only empty floating barracks. We have lately organized dockward battalions to assist in defending the country on shore; but, sir, should we be attacked, wentight to meet the enemy on the water. I theretore beg to suggest, through the medium of your powerful paper, that the whole of our dockyard people should be told off to man the reserve steamers, and practised in it. Engineers and stokers should be furnished from the factory and the emiths'shops. The ar tificere, riggers, and labourers should know the steamers they belong to; and had all our labourers been seafaring men, they would have made a respectable and disciplined b o dy; said bad the Admiralty order that was issued several years ago been attended te, many of our artifi cers would have been men-of-warsmen and acquainted with their duties. The Excellent men should all be posted to different stearrwrs, and so ought the marines, so that there would be no confabion in the hour of need. In addition to -this, the coastguard, with their officers, s,hould know what vessels they Lelong to, and be ready to join by rail at a moment's warning. All the watermen and fisher men should be encouraged to give in their names; and, last not least, volunteers should be called upon from the seaports to complete their crews. The gentlemen of Portsmouth,. I will answer for it, would not be the last at their guns, and no doubt the same enthusiasm and zeal would be shown at the other ports. If more officers were required, they should be taken from the half-p a y li st, an d at once appointe d to their ships. Ido not propose this as our best .means of n sdefence, WI. I propose it as an a uxiliary ion d s, one that could be had at a moment's warning, and on whose patriotism and courage the country could rely. I remain your obedie nt CARLES NAPIER.

SOUTHAMPTON, J. 25 —Tins Royal Mail steam ship Orinoco, W. Allan acting commander, arrived from the Thames this afternoon, having left Black wall on Friday, shortly after noon. The Orinoco is the second ship of the new West India line, of which the unfortunate Amazon was the pioneer, and, although a sister vessel, and resembling j in size and in some ot h er part i cu l ars the ill-fated 1 Amazon, yet this steamer has not been built, nor her engines constructed, by the same parties. The Amazon was built by Messrs. Green, and the machinery supplied by Messrs. Seaward and Capel, while the Orinoco was built at Northfleet (in corn • puny with the Magdalena, the third vessel of the same class for the West India service) by Mr. Pitcher, and the engines are from the celebrated factory of Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field. Considerable interest will no doubt be attached by the public, not only to the performances of the Ori noco, but of the whole of the succeeding vessels of the class, and the particulars of their arrangement and equipment will be watched with much anxiety, the loss of the Amazon by fire, not long since, having drawn a great share of attention to the details and management of the important line of steam navigation to be fulfilled by these noble and beautiful ships. The following gentlemen accompanied the Orinoco on her voyage to Southampton—Captain C. E. Man gles, the managing director of the Royal Mail Steam Company ; Mr. George Mills, the chief engineer of the company ; Lieutenant A. S. Austin, R.N., ap pointed by the company to superintend the trials; Mr. Henry Pitcher; Mr. Maudslay, sen., and his two sons; Mr. Hughes, the Government engineer; Cap tain Hood, R.N.; and other gentlemen interested in steam navigation. Mr. Waterman, the Admiralty surveyor, left the ship at Gravesend. The Orinoco was temporarily commanded by Cap tain W. Allan, a gentleman of great experience and intelligence in the West Indian steam service, who surrenders the ship at Southampten to her future captain, Lieutenant G. M. Chapman, R.N., late of the Tay, and proceeds himself to the Clyde, to su perintend the equipment of the Parana and Magda lena, the remaining two new ships of this line. It is melancholy to reflect that the unfortunate Captain Symons was destined to command the Orinoco, and only took charge of the Amazon in consequence of Captain Chapman not having arrived home from the Brazils in time. Before giving an account of the performances of the Orinoco and her admirable behaviour in a tre mendous gale which she encountered in the Channel during the whole of Saturday night, a short descrip tion of the vessel is necessary. Externally, the Orinoco very much resembles the Amazon, her great length, lofty rig, immense spread of canvas, and low funnels, giving her the appearance of a steam-frigate of the largest class, and not of a mere merchant steamer. Great Britain has just reason to be proud of the energy and enterprise of great commercial associations like the Royal Mail and other great steam-packet companies, which can build and employ steam-ships of this class. Although adapted for the peaceful business of conveying mails, passen gers, and cargo, yet the sterner necessities of war have not been forgotten or lost sight of, and in the event of hostilities, these ships, when supplied with the armament which they are designed and able to carry, would be converted into gigantic and powerful steamers of war, formidable, not alone for the heavy guns they would be able to use, but for the great speed they can attain, a speed superior to that of any steam-ships of war in the British, French, or Arne rican navies. Tne Orinoco has, therefore, been pro nounced capable of carrying 26 gun?, four of which, on the main deck, might be 10-inch Paixhan long range guns, of the heaviest size; the remainder short 32 or 24 pounders, as the case may be. Upon an emer gency, a couple of long 68-pounders, on traversing slide carriages, might be fitted to the spar deck, if that deck were temporarily strengthened by a few additional supports for that purpose. The dimensions of this noble ship are as follows : Length between the perpendiculars, 270 feet; length over all (figure head to taffrail), 301 feet ; length on spar deck, 2764 feet ; breadth from out to out of paddle-boxes, 71 feet 10 inches ; extreme breadth, 41 feet 10 inches; ditto for tonnage to a six-inch bottom, 414 feet; breadth moulded, 401 feet, depth of engine room at shaft, 26 feet 1 inch ; depth from under side of spar deck, 334 feet ; burden in tons, builder's measurement, 2,245 31-94 tbs. The Orinoco, like the Amazon, has nine boats, four of which are Lamb's patent lifeboats, 30 feet long and 8 feet wide, and calculated to carry 32 persons each. Two are swung forward over the fore sponson, and two over the aft sponson. There are also two large cutters, 27 feet long with 8 feet beam, each boat calculated to carry 35 persons, and pulled by 12 oars each. Besides this there is one mail boat, 22 feet long, 6 feet beam, able to carry 18 people ; a gig, 25 feet long, 5 feet beam, able to contain 10 persons ; and a dingy (rather larger than that supplied to the Amazon), being 17 feet long and .54 feet wide, and calculated to carry eight or nine people. These nine boats would be sufficient to provide for the safety of 234 persons. • As it appears that the Orinoco has accommodation (that is, bed berths for 146 passengers), and as it is very rare that so large a number are carried by these vessels at one time, and as the crew, comprising g is en p e r r o a v ll i y ded with officers, engineers, stewards, servants, s t o k ers , se amen, c so o u a l l s - , tr i i t rn fo n l i l e o r:, s an t d ha o t th t e h r e s, s w hi i p ll accommodation for the largest numb er o f perso ns number 105 likely to be ever on board at one ti me. W e are , boat however, assured that on an emergency the lifeboats and cutters would be capable (supposing they were safely got into the water) of containing a much larger number of people than that mentioned above, and Captain Allan, as well as Mr. H. Pitcher, is of opinion that 300 people in fair weather could be sent away from the ship in nine boats. We may remark here that in the securing of the Orinoco's boats the iron crutches, so much objected to in the Amazon, have been omitted. During the run round an experi ment was made with the forward starboard lifeboats, particularly with a view to ascertain how quickly these boats might be cast loose and go clear of the sponson. The operation was performed in less than three minutes from the time the men were called on deck, unexpectedly and without previous notice, to make the attempt. The Orinoco is propelled by two engines made by Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field, of London, which are of th e nom i na l aggregate power of 800 horses. These engines are on the patent double cylinder direct acting principle, and embrace all the most recent im provements applied to marine steam machinery. Each of the four cylinders are of 68 inches diameter, and calculating the surface area of the pistons, are sup posed to be equal to two 98-inch cylinders such as are supplied to the ordinary side level marine engines ; and the boilers are eight in number, each boiler hav ing three furnaces, and possess an aggregate evapo rating power of 9,000 gallons of water per hour; the paddle-wheels, 40 feet in diameter, are fitted with the patent feathering floats, which have been found so efficient and successful in their operation when ap plied to other steamers of this line. The whole of the machinery performed most admirably throughout the run from the Thames, and the bearings, which are ge nerally found to heat during the first trials of steam machinery, remained perfectly cool. It is almost needless to say that the Orinoco's engines were gene rally admired, not only for the finish and beauty of the workmanship bestowed on them, but for the general perfection of their arrangements, and for the smooth ness and freedom from all unpleasant motion and vi bration, even when the ship was steaming at full power against a heavy head sea and in a gale of wind. The ventilation of the engine -room has also been so carefully provided for, that the temperature was most pleasant, compared with the high temperature of the engine department in many, and, indeed, most other steam-vessels. We may also add, that from the time of getting under weigh at the Nore until arriving at Southampton Water the engines were not stopped for a single moment, excepting to take a pilot off the Nab, and on anoth e r occas i on t o re - a dj u st one of the ood ti dioelened;sg: isßt and,paetne racicetahelw; Twotoeagnsda- v _ e au result b paddle-floats. th m having 17 feet 6 inches ; when leavingt Blackwelldthat with Draught of water aft, 17 feet 9 inches ; forward, 400 tons of coals on board.

As the anchor rose sluggishly from its bed at the Nore soundings, a slight movement aboard the Ori noco evinced a consciousness that the sea was not quite as smooth as a duckpend. The wind whistled smartly through the rigging, and t h e nautical sages on deck, looking knowingly to windward, and seeing there a leaden sky, patched by whitish clouds , scud ding fast down upon us , prognosticated plenty of wind, dirty weather, &c., and cheered each other by communicating the result of their independent obser vations, or descended to visit friends, in bed, and wait ing for the breakfast bell, with the same pleaFirg intelligence. Strange as it may seem the news was pleasing, for, as the great object of a " trial trip" is supposed to be actually to make trial of the capa bility of a vessel, it was, of course, desirable for engineer, builder, officers, and directors to have such a good opportunity as the promised gale would affiod them of testing the sea-going qualities of the steamer. Particularly was it agreeable intelligence for the amateurs on board, who were in great dread of an involuntary visit to the well-known marine curiosity " the Lizard," or even to the rock of Lisbon in search of the hard weather, which now so kindly met them nearer home. At 10 15 A.M , the steamer was rattling along at full speed against a strong tide towards " the Girdles," her engines making 121 revolutions in the minute, and forcing her through the water at the rate of 12 statute miles per hour. Every instant the wind rose higher, and with it the spirits of those on board. It was quite delightful to some to see the muddy sea breaking in butter-coloured sheets of foam on the numerous banks which lay around us, and occasionally one was favoured by having the precise spot pointed out where "the Royal Adelaide was lost with all on board," or where the "So and So" went down in a "dirty night last year." The sky became more overcast and threatening hour after hour, and the wind rushed down fiercely over the low lands of Sheppey from the south-west, and tore away as hard as it could to the North Sea like smoke. Small colliers flew before it, pitching and rising on the short seas, and now and then a stout barque or clipper brig, bound outwards, and anxious to reach the Downs before night, clapped on all sail, and came bowling along under double reefed topsails, and challenged the huge steamer, strong on their best point of sailing, but one after another she shook them off, and went along so steadily that there is not the smallest exaggeration in stating there was, at times, difficulty in believing she was in motion at all. The disagreeable tremor felt in steamers, especially in a tideway in shallow water, was scarcely perceptible. In the saloon one could write as easily as at his library table, and the vast frame of the ship seemed to bid defiance to winds and waves to shake its timbers. This quality was the theme of general approbation and remark, and to those accustomed to the peculiarly disagreeable jerking of steamers it must appear almost incredible; but the fact was so, and the largest and easiest line-of-battle ship could not have gone so smoothly and comfort ably as the Orinoco, not only at this period, but throughout her passage to Southampton. As she got out from under the lee of the North Foreland the gusts increased in vehemence, and we had the satis• faction of seeing large and well-found ships bearing up and bringing to for the night, unable to make further progress, while we were going as steadily as if in a canal. All under cover of the land appeared long lines of vessels, of all sizes, riding at anchor, and at midday a screw-steamer, which had been battling the e le men t s o ff th e Goodwin, put about and ran in from sea towards the Foreland, and moored, having evidently had quite enough of it ouside. A perfect forest of masts was seen rising out of Ramsgate Harbour, where a whole fleet of small craft had run to escape the fury of the gale ; for the wind had by this time reached to the dignity of being so styled. As the steamer opened the Downs the sight was splendid, one rarely seen by any but those gentlemen of England who sail upon the seas; an armada of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and ve sse l s o f a ll s izes and all nations, were riding at anchor. The large ships were all busy striking topgallantyards and masts, and veering out a snug allowance of cable. Among them, " rocking to anti fro," lay the celebrated American clipper ship Oriental, with her straight, long black hull, ugly Yankee stern, and sharp, line bows and entry. She seemed to be taking it very easily, but the spray flew over her bows in sheets, and as she rose and fell, she showed a very fair share of her copper. The ships and barques had all plenty of foam at the bows, and now and then clouds of white drizzle flew over the forecastle and drifted over the decks to leeward in a temporary Scotch mist of salt water. As the look of the weather became worse instead of better, the Orinoco also got down her fore and main topgallantyards, and the boats were lashed up more securely (a necessary precaution this, for it would not be agreeable to find the boats gone altogether when they were wanted). Every sail in sight, except herself, a few craft to windward staggering away for the river as hard as they could carry, and a solitary Deal boat or two, looking out for a vessel in distress, was safe at anchor, but still " the trial" was the thing, and at any risk—the result proved there was but little—we were to push out to sea. Managing directors turned out in shiny suits of waterproof silk, oilskin and tarpauline hats, caps, and south-westers, were in great requisition. The captain appeared on the platform as impermeable to wet as a walrus, and the pilot, after some fond allusions to the superior comfort of a snug berth under the Foreland till daybreak, was obliged to submit to the exigencies of his position, and to convert himself into a human "crustacean" for the night, after repeated pithy outbursts of eloquence as to the "nastiness" of the weather, and tee immense capabilities of the Foreland in a marine, terrestrial, and mooring point of view, that would have done credit to the late Mr. George Ro bins. It must be admitted that of the correctness of his statements there could be no possible doubt, and many en board were quite of opinion that " after all, perhaps, it would be better to take that pilot's advice." But ere darkness closed in the Orinoco was pushing past the Goodwin, on which for miles vast toppling mountains of water, crested with foam, ran their ter rible course, and bursting upon the sea that rushed to meet her from the Channel. Oa shoving out round the South Foreland the gale was at its height. It was with difficulty a man could make way against the wind on deck aft and foreward ; at times the gust would force the strongest back wards. The gigantic engines puffed and bellowed through their brazen throats almost in vain. More than half the force of one thousand seven hundred horses was completely neutralised by the gale, and the rest was at times but just sufficient to enable the steamer to hold her own. But still she met sea after sea beautifully, rising to meet it as buoyantly as a seafowl, " with lusty timbers throwing it aside, and stemming it with heart of controversy," and s leaving it to rush astern bowling into the darkness. For hours, however, the lights of Dover and Folkestone on the one hand, and of Griznes on the other, glimmered through the mist, bobbing up and down, and seeming to hold their way with the steamer. It was an enxious time for all. A screw loose, a bolt broken, and there were a hundred deaths behind us —every one connected with the vessel was on deck, though the spray flew over the foremast an d d as h ed right over the top of the fore funnel. Still she shipped no seas—her machinery worked exquisitely — as bl andly almost as the watch in one's pocket. There was no straining—no stiffening. There was no bearing heated, and once only, during the whole time, did a little stoppage take place in one valve, which was rectified in a moment. In the squalls thick showers of rain fell, and the drops, mingled with spray and sleet, were driven by the blast as sharp as arrows against,the face. It was, in fact, a "frightful night." Channel pilots are pretty good judgesof weather, and two of them agreed that worse weather could not be met. From the deck nothing could he seen but the black, starless sky, desc endin g bodily with sea on the water in dense clouds, which ming l ed and foam, so that there was litt le difference between water and air—nothing heard but the furious rigging, ravings of the blast, and its screarning,through the or the hissing of the seething waves as . they ran up a n d broke against the stout s hi p . This.gale lasted from 9 P.M. till 3 A.M. the following morning. The best proof of its severity is th is, that, thou g h the engines were working up to 1,600 horse-power, the Orinoco was eight hours in going from off Dover to off Dunge. ness—aea t distance of about 1 6 miles. At 7 hours ßch l: e - h ea d was sighted N. by E., and in a few steame r was in smooth water, having perf ect l y satiss mayseabobaet fled every person on board that a safer,. easier cou ld not be found in the world, and that she reckoned as presenting the highest combination of the unrivalled skill in naval architecture and engineering in which this country excels. When in the vicinity of Stokes-bay this morning advantage was taken of the opportunity to test the .l speed of the ship by several the result s o f which wer runs at the measured e, e as i follow :- Ist run, in slack water, 4m. 59sec , equal to 12.040 knots; 2d, sm_.

I t must he remembered, however, that she was li g h t, end that when fully Wien with coals, stores, cargo, &c., her rate of steaming through the water wi ll neces sarily be considerably less.
