The Haytian sloop Experiment, however, brings inteilignce from that islal:cl up to the 31st ult., about which time a deputation had arrived at Port au Prince fur-the purpose of placing the several districts of ;Santo Domingo wider the authority of the Haytian Government. The union of -the two divisions of the island under- one Government is a consummation devoutly to be wished for. It will bring about an important change in the affairs of Hayti, and put an end to that abominable and uncivilised war fare which has so long disgraced that unfottunate island. President Riche, it is stated, has expressed himself de sirous to make arrangements for admitting the vessels of the Royal Mail Steam Company to the island, by ex empting them from the payment of the tonnage duties, as is done by the other foreign islands. The Alarm, 26, Captain Frankland, arrived from Hali fax on the 31st ult., but will shortly sail to reinforce the squadron in the Gulf of Mexico. The Vindictive, 50, Captain Seymour, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir P. Austen, K.C.8., the Commarder in-Chief, and the Hyacinth, 18, Commander Scott, had proceeded to Quebec. The Vesuvius steamer, Commander O'Callaghan, was at Halifax, and the Persian, 16, Viper, 3, and Columbia, steam surve ;lag vessel, at Newfoundland. • The That - aler, Z 3, Commander Barnett, and the Lark, 3, Lieutenant Lawre - ice, are at Bermuda, laid up, and re fitting darn, e the summer months.

POST.—If the meaning of the'British Government is to let no mistake exist about the novel amount of insult . which our " illustriou s ally" has provided for us, must be wholly conceded that this ingenuous purpose is well seconded by a sympathisingpress. Ris not enough that Europa and America should be told that wo have been choued, cozened, and cheated, out of every one of the objects with N ic h juvenile Whiggery flattered itsAf in its violent interference with Spain; our Ministers are not satisfied unless the world be made quite aware that, besides being injured, we are laughed at, and that nothing remains of the effects of our succour to Chris tine., ex?ept the privilege, of being to ele guile of by those 'e ho co-operated with us in the achievement. "It is not enough," exclaims a Palmerston print, " for our Foreign Mini4ter and Lis Ambassador to be treated with contumely, their remonstrances (it Alairid) are met with official silence, and semi-official sneers." Here is comfortable reflection for a nation jealous of honour ; a pleasant estimate of the return we have received for our services in the cause of Liberal experiment —a reflection, too, suggested by that most modest and self-diffident statesman who induced us to the good offices that ar e so gratefully ac • knowledged. There is no doubt that our public servants have been unmercifully outwitted by the anxious pro genitor of the numerous hopeful scions of Orleans.

We do not think his felicitations will be long unalloyed by certain of the consequences that lometimes follow the happiest efforts of great wits. There is gathering again, in Spain, a nucleus fur the dissemination of that loyal spirit which, never extirpatesi, awaits but a favourable opportunity for development. The con - stitutional drama has been worked to such ex tremes, that di-gust is growing to the height which often bunts into troublesome action. It is not too much to say that all the Spaniards are indignantly hostile to the French "importation," and we have it on the authority of the greatest supporter of Liberalism, that " a Carlist dynasty would be preferred" to the con sequences of the Montpensier scheme. This Liberal authority speaks for that section of the nation which coincides with his own political theories; there is no necessity to predicate, of the majority in Spain, their preference for the natural and ind .pendent sovereign. Thus, troublesome indications may interrupt the festivi ties with which Louis Philippe is to celebrate his triumph over England. But, meanwhile,, is it not edify ing to hear the Ministers of our proud nation proclaim ing the extent of their calamity and humiliation? Sneers, contumely, insulting silence, are the conditions of our glorious entente cordiale with the Tuileries. Contumely and insult were, in old-fashioned .English politics, the conditions and necessary motives to the most active measures of chastisement—they are now the conditions on which we are to preserve our relations of "amity!" They are the terms on which we are allowed to " co operate" in the management of Spanish affairs. -They are the results of our heroic efforts to help Spain to a system she did not want; they are the crowning re wards of our patronage of liberty dynasties in Europe. Port-Admiral Sir John West has hoisted his flag, blue at the main, on board her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. J. Leeke, in the Sound. The Buckinghamshire East Indianian, having broken one of her bower anchors, has been supplied with another from her Majesty's dockyard here. Last night, during the gale, the Brunswick steam packet, and her coal depot, together with a Norwegian barque, were driven ashore on the mud from their moor ings in Stern-house Pool. When the tide rose, they ere all got off without damage. Half-past Two P.M.—Wind W., strong breeze. PoorsittouTn, OCT. 9.—Her Majesty's ship St. Vin cent, 120, carrying the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., anchored at Spithead early this morning. Soon atter ten o'clock, Admiral Sir -Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent, and his secre tary, went off to the St. Vincent, with his flag flying in the Myrtle steamer, to inspect her, and congratulate the Commodore and the officers and crew on their return to his command, and also to pay his respects to Mr. Hamil ton, the Brazilian Consul. The Admiral was received on the quarter-deck of the St. Vincent by Commodore Sir Francis Collier, Captain Shepherd, and all her officers, and after the usual compliments had been paid, the hands were turned up to muster. After this had terminated, Sir Charles went over the decks -and minutely inspected the ship, and sundry evo lutions were then performed by the crew. They then went to quarters, and by their activity and excellent drill showed that they had been constantly exercised at the great gun practice. Several rounds were fired. On the Commander-in-Chief preparing to leave the ship, he expressed to the Commodore and the officers his appro batio❑ of the excellent order the St. Vincent was in, and the discipline, healthy appearance, and skill of the crew, and stated that he should not fail to represent it to th• Admiralty. A communication by the electric telegraph having been made of the arrival of the ship, an answer was sent ordering her into harbour, and will, if possible, discharge her powder this evening ; and, unless the weather should prove very bad, get to her old moorings to-morrow afternoon. Commodore Sir F. Collier has not yet struck his broad pendant, but will probably do it this evening, or he will have to sit as a member on the court-martial to take place to-morrow. Lieutenant C racroft, Flag-Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Parker, who has been at sea during the cruise, in the Rattler, came home in the St. Vincent. PUBLICATIONS. . COUNTRY BANKERS. Messrs.

This line of railway; 'commencing at Bristol, will open a direct communication With Poole, passing through or near the important towns turd villages of Whitechureh, Penstord, Clutton, Sheldon Mallet, Bruton; Castle . Cary, NI , incanton, Stalbridge, Sturminster, Newton, Shillnieston, Stourpain, Blandford, Spittisbury, Sturminster Marshall, Wimborne Minster to Poole Harbour ; and thus, by means of the Line of Packets intended to be established by tins Company, from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital, and from thence to Lyons, will co eplete the line of communication by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of com merce at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav ing a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home, Among the various sources of traffic to be expected on this line. the following are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern ment with Coal from the Welch arid Somersetshire pits, by means of the_proposed line, for its different naval and steam depots throughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in number, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca p ibleeef yielding a much larger quantity; and; supposing that 2,000 tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis tance of 40 miles for 300 days in the year, which is even less than the Company have every reason to expect, it would yield a net return of 10 ,0001., or 10 per cent. upon the estimated capi tal ; deduct then 40 per cent. for working the line, wear and tear, and 'there remains the sum of 60,0001., or 6 per cent. per annum on the capital. There can be no doubt of the demand of this important article of general consumption. from the great dimi nution of price to the consumer by the costs of carriage being reduced to let, per ton per mile from the present co At, wh ch is from 60. to 100. The supply of the Channel Islands (population more than 100,000), and of France, with the best species of coat for the production of gas, as weli as for the use of their manutactures tied for domestic purposes. This article, by means of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the Company a very flue remunerative profit, and be of the gre ' , test be nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coil, and which cannot, therefore, rail to be of equal benefit to the mer chant abroad, the producer at hoine, and the proposed Company. Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal for domestic use, at a saving of from six to seven shillings a ton. ThiS is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great manufacturing city of Bristol a inure ready market for all those articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand so much in need, and which are manufactured in great quantities at that city, and as soon as the line is completed, tenders will at once be submitted to Government for the snore speedy transmission of the mails to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of more than twelve hours will be effected, and to the North and North-west of Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours. There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the various stone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the clay pits alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand from the Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more than 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre sent mercantile traffic which new goes round the Land's End to the Western Ports ; the great agricultural, manufacture, and pas senger traffic front the rich and populous districts through which the line passes; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line front the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest amid most direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a great national _undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going round the Land's End; by at once opening to them the harbour of Poole, which has beets pronounced by eminent engineers to be one of the best natural harbours in the world, and capable, at a s.nutil expense, of being made accessible to 'vessels of the largest class with perfect safety, and enabling them to scud their cargoes to their different destinations he less time, and at a less expense, than at present : by this means, not only will the shipowner and tine merchant be greatly benefited, but the Company would derive an immense annual revenue from the cargoes of northern produce thus lauded at Poole, to be again dist ri [silted, by means of theitrailway, to the different manufacturine towns throughout tins country ; and the passenger traffic that would natu rally follow so large a portion of mercantile traffic cannot rail to yield to the Company a very handsome return upon their outlay. The average number of vessels detained in this trade in going round the Land's End amounts, from the most authentic sources, to about lour thousand, each vessel averaging a detention of fi ce days. The average tonnage of these vessels amounts to 130 tons, which would give six men to each vessel, working after the rate of 60/. per month, which would give, for the number of days detained, 101. to each vessel : this, multiplied by the number of vessels, viz., 4,000, would give the sum of 40,000/., which will be entirety saved by means of this liue. Tills Is independent of the loss of life, destruction of property, expense of insurance, and loss of time, which would all be saved by tine projected rail, the statistics of which, did space allow, would make every one look upon the present undertaking, not only as one of great local importance, but one of great national benefit. The advantages have long been known and appreciated, and the plena Company have determined to bring them into play in the most full and efficient manner. The expense of storage at Poole as well as the port dues are less than at any port in the kingdom ; so that the merchant would be enabled to keep las goods there at a less expense than at his own port. He would be enabled to perform five voyages for every three from the northern parts, and, by means of the speedy comumnication by the electric telegraph and the rapid travellieg of the present day, many advantages and conveniences will be afforded. A careful preliminary survey having been made by the Company's surveyor, the line has been pronounced to present less than the ave rage engineering difficulties, about thirty miles being through a rich, populous, and level valley. The harbour of Poole has also been sur veyed, and the bar at the mouth of the harbour has been pronounced to be capable of removal, and is now actually being removed ; thus to vessels of the largest tonnage one of the safest and most commodious harbours in the world. These are a few of the advantages offered to the public by the pro jected line ; and the Committee, impressed with the sense of the ex cellence and legitimacy of the undertaking, and basing their views upon ascertained facts and undoubted evidence, feel themselves war• ranted in offering to all applicants for shares the following conditions, viz. : That no party taking shares in the said Company shall be liable (.11 ease' of failure of the Company) to a larger amaunt than five shillings per share, unless a greater suer shall he sanctioned at a Gene, al Meeting of the Shareholders called for that purpose; so that ut case th Company fail at any period of time prior to such Meeting being called, the Committee pledge themselves to return U. 17s. per share instead of 21. 25., and a proportionately larger amount if the accounts; of tho Conmany, upon inepection, snow a less expenditure. At the first general meeting of the shareholders the Committee will proeuce an aecuuut, signed by the bankers, of the several sums received by them on account of the Company, thereby warranting to the sherehulders that the amount subscribed Is still in the hands of the !ankers, untrue the ss. per share. The future plans of the Company will he laid before the . share fielders at their first general tiree•ang, and everything submitted to their investigation and approved. • • FOIL ii OF APPLIerA.TION FOR SHARES.

FROM. TIM MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—In another part of our paper to-day will be found some observations on the subject of the Steam navy of England, which appears to comprise a consider able amount of unwieldy impotence. Our fleet has been som ewhat increased in extent, but not in effiiency. Two _Or three ships have been built which are merely so many expensive encumbrances to our naval service. Oar decks are turned into hospitals for incapacitated vessels, whose fragile frames have been unable to sustain the wear and tear of a cruise even, id fine weather. It seems that the Retribution and the Avenger, both ships of enormous tonnage and tremendous nominal power, are lying at Spithead at this moment in a ,state of utter incapacity. If the Retribution were suddenly called upon to fulfil the purpose implied in its name, or if the country had experienced any insult that the Avenger might be re quired to avenge, it would be Lund that they had cocking About them more formidable than their titles. Tee Retribution is labouring under the fatal complaint of machinery too powerful fur her hull, so that there is every probability of her tome day tearing herself to p eves. Iler spirit, poor thing, is beyond her strength, and with her eight hundred horse engines she is in the predicament of a very high mottled racer we have read of somewhere, that started off " as fast as it couldn't gallop." The result is, that the Retribution, like the steed alluded to, is speedily brought to a dead stand-still. The ships we have mentioned are not the only two that have been found unequal to the test of the most ordinary service. The Bulldog and the Scourge, both of which are sloops of upwards of eleven hundred aens, are labouring under some internal complaint which threatened destruction to their respective boilers. The Bulldog has been afflicted with what is termed a "giving out," which developes itself in the scattering of steam over tLe officers and crew of the vessel. The Cat would be a more apf,:f.l)riate name for a ship that has this most disagreeable propenitv to spitting. It would be awkward if in the midst of an action her force were to begin to evaporate, through the trick her boilers haye of "giving out,"sifaich, as out% were spondent suggests, would be as bad as " giving in," when their services are required. The nation may with reason complain that the ships constructed for the use of the navy are so inferior to those which are built for the merchant service. If science had been retro grading instead of rap dly advancing—if we found fre quent instances of inefficient machinery in the ordinary steam-vessels devoted to commercial purposes, we might regret the want of skill which prevented the improve ment of our fleet, but we should not have the mortifica tion of feeling, as we do now, that the public interests are needlessly sacrificed. " How comes it," asks our correspondent, " that the breaks-down complained of seldom or never occur but in her Majesty's steamers ?" We have heard of lawyers looking upon a Chancery suit as a provision for life, it well worked, and of doctors who contrive to make a patient a.constant source of in come, by always keeping him a little indisposed; but we cannot believe that engineers would think it worth their while to profit by the infirmities of their engines. We will not suppose for an instant that the derangement of the inside of the Bulldog is permitted to exist with out being wholly cured for the sake of the fees that must be paid from time to time for doctoring. There must, however, have been greatcause for blame somewhere in giving the Retribution machinery too powerful for her hull, since it was the duty of the builler and the engineer to have had an understanding relative to the compatibility of their separate labours. They may, ierhaps, throw the blame upon some higher quarter, by saying that they received orders respectively to build a ship of a certain size, and to manufacture engines of a certain power—an excuse that would shift the onus of gross mismanagement from their own to some one else's shoulders. The folly that has been committed is like that of a man who buys a very large piece of fur niture for a very small room, when, after damaging both of them in order to bring them together, it is found that one renders the other completely useless. The Retribu tion is now lying incapacitated through the violent action of engines of 800 horse power upon a hull incapable of sustaining more than a 600 horse power without dan ger to its stability. Who would think of fitting up a Blackwell " bus " with the boiler and other machinery of a railway locomotive, putting the works of St. Paul's deck into a library time-piece, or placing a "rule to compute" in the hands of the Attorney-General ? Yet scarcely one of these proceedings would be more absurd than the folly of fitting up the Retribution with engines so powerful as to cause well-grounded fears that the vessel might be hurried to self destruction. CHRONICLE.—The grand economical evil of Ire land is the cottier-tenant system. We were on the point of calling it the grand moral evil also. Neither the economical nor the mural evils admit of any consider able alleviation while that baneful system continues. Tide truth is the foundation of the philosophy of Irish wretchedness and Irish improvement It is the one thing to be known, remembered, and perpetually thought of by all who concern themselves about that country. It is the conclusion which almost every one who sincerely and seriously applies his mind to the matter ends by aiming at. There is hardly any road whereby a conscientious thinker can approach the eubj-ct of Irish distress which does not lead directly to it. But it is not always clearly seen in what the radical mischief of this tenure, as it exists in Ireland, consists. It is often confounded with the evil of small holdings. Holdings certainly may, under any system, be tun small. But there may be small holdings without a cottier system; and there may be a cottier system without small holdings. A cottier system may be defined, that in which the produce of the land is divided between two sharers—a lindlord on one side, and labourers on the other; the competition of the labourers being the regulating principle of the division. To see this system in the fulness of its pernicious fruits, two other circumstances must be supposed, both of which pre eminently exist in Ireland:—a country over. reopled, at least in proportion to the efficiency of its industry, and no considerable outlet for labour, other wise than in agriculture. In all countries in which the labouring population have no property, their condition depends upon the intensity of the competition for employmeat. In England, and most civilised coun tries, the pressure of this competition is upon capital; in Ireland, under the cottier system, it is upon land. In England, over population produces its effect by lowering wages; in Ireland, by raising rent. Now, there is a truth so universally borne out by experience as al most to partake of the character of a law of nature; and it is this. Whenever a population, excessive in propor tion to the productive power of its industry, depends for subsistence wholly upon the occupancy of land, their competition drives them to offa for the land a rent merely nominal, a rent greater than the utmost which, even on the most favourable supposition, they can pos. sibly pay. A ftermer who has capital, who brings some thing to the farm, and risks something upon it, will not bind himself to a higher rent than he thinks he can pay without, at all events, encroaching on his capital. A labourer who bids for land, not for the sake of profit, but for subsistence, and with whom not to have land is to be without the means of living, will offer anything rather than be outbid by his neighbour. In such a case, if there is any limit to the nominal amount of rent, it is to be found, not in the calculations of the tenant, but in the moderation of the landlord, his justice, his humanity, or enlightened perception of self-interest. HER ALD.—We received at a late hour yesterday, by express, the Peninsular mails, bringing Lisbon letters down to the 2d of the present month. Our active and intelligent correspondent at Lisbon has furnished us with a number of details of the greatest interest to those engaged in the Portuguese trade, and of a more than ordinary interest to the general reader. To the three letters of our correspondent, dated respectively the 30th of September, and the Ist and 2d of October, we more especially refer our readers, because many minute cir cumstances and facts are set forth in them which it would be impossible to give in any summary, however well prepared. Difficulties appear to gather around the luckless head of the Duke of Palmella; and as that noble personage is a mere man of routine, without any original views, and of no native force or strength of cha racter, though an extremely well-informed, sensible, acute, and accomplished person, it is not to b. supposed he will have the force or energy necessary to extricate himself. If by any effort of suppleness or flexibility—by any ingenious con trivance, or dexterous expedient—he can creep out of the Ministry, and place the responsibility on other shoulders, he will, no doubt, do so ; but this is not a trick to be played twice. So long as affairs go on ar l e )a o lul ut e , i ' l ' a t ; o use the words smoothly, and it is all p lain sailing, there i s no b e tter but when the Portugueseenrsraed tapist is no b e tter than minister winds n u is u t e chk r oew f , o l) r . aonu Portugal r t he ~ w th a a t your English Tadpole or Taper. The Marquis of Sal danha is too colds soldier to take the responsibility off the shoulders of Palladia. He has repeatedly declined to take office, and has evidently no relish to oppose himself to the crash which is sooner or later to come. It seems to be admitted on all hands that the present Portuguese Ministry cannot last one month after the Cortes shall have assembled, and even before the end of this instant October they may be crushed by a financial difficulty. The monied interests in Portugal—or at least the directors of the bank, or a majority of them— are favourable to the Cabralists, and are nut disposed in any manner to lend a helping hand to the Duke of Palmella. The authorised suspension of bank pay ments to ended meet a further extension of time, to whic h the Government replied by a counter a pp lication for a loan of 560 contos , o itsn the engagements. 3d Th directors applied for when the bank was unable about 130,0001. British, as the only condition upon which the required indulgence would be granted. The refusal of the bank to grunt the loan had very nearly brought about a ministerial crisis. The Duke of Palmella, the President of the Council of Ministers, was for resigning, but the other Ministers refused to tender their resigna tions before they had made an attempt to raise the re quired sum from another quarter. At the date of the latest accounts the Ministers had not been successful, though there was a prospect of their attaining their ob ject through a private company, with which the Marquis of Fayal and Baron Fulgosio are connected. Borrowing however, as Shakespere bath it, dulls the edge of hus 'bandry, and when this sum is gone the Ministers will be more "heinously unfunded" than before. To add to their difficulties, paper is depreciated and specie scarce. The very elements have even conspired against them, for there is a deficient harvest, as with ourselves, and a consequent necessity of getting corn over the frontier from Spain. kto wan knows better than the Spaniard Sir,-1f the Prince de Joinville lacks food for another pamphlet, after stirring us into activity and exertion to organise a steam navy, which we ran a muck to accom plish with all possible speed, there is ample scope for his talents in exposing the ridiculous figure we cut now that we have got a steam force upon the waters; as it appears from incontrovertible evidence that although our war steamers are the largest in the world, they are the most inefficient and expensive encumbrances ever introduced into the service. There are now lying at Spithead two strixing proofs of this fuer—the Retribution, of 1,641 t o ns, and 650-hor:e power; both - new ships — this their tons, ant' 800 horse power, and the Avenger, of 1,444 first commission, and yet neither of them is at this mo ment fit for service. Both have just returned from a of f ea i we or h tw av o e ba t o o k complain of p theof 1,123-ar fine weather cruise. Nor are these the only examples m ne e ffi rs c ; ie a n w c3; eit o o g f slo in o tons, and 500-horse power, broke down when ordered to leave this harbour for her destination; after a week's detention, however, she was got to sea, but again became hors de comhgt-at Plymouth, where, I believe, s& is at present " fixed." The Scourge sloop, of 1,124 tons,, and 420-horse, power, was under the engineers' hands at the saine tit it) as the Bulldog, her boilers, or some other vital part of her organisation, having given out. Whenever these mishaps have taken place, there have generally appeared in certain prints sneers at " lame ducks," and other ironical remarks, aimed at the credit of the constructor of the vessel ; but the real question of " Who's to blame ?" has been left untouched. It is to ascertain this important feature, and then provide a remedy, that I now draw attention to the subject. A " pretty figure" we should cut, truly, with our large steamers, larger in tonnage than many two-deckers of 72 guns, were their boilers to " give out," or their engines to " give in," when their services were required in action, reducing the officers and crew to the alterna tive of being boiled by their own steam, or becoming food for the fire of their adversaries, without the power of helping themselves ; yet in this predicament are they likely to be placed, unless some more effectual and cer tain reliance can be placed upon the working of their machinery than can at present be calculated upon. That the fault lies with the engines no one can dispute, at all events as far as the cases before us are concerned. In the case of the Retribution, the machinery is too powerful for the hull of the vessel—in short, the ship is not built with sufficient stability for such immense straining as she is subject to. It is believed that engines of 600- horse power would propel her faster and safer than those at present in her. Who is to blame for this? One of two persons clearly is; either the constructor should have known his vessel would be ruined and useless if such tremendous power were given her, or the engineer should have known that his engines were by far too powerful for the vessel, and protested against the waste of his " strength of materials" by having them placed in a vessel whose capabilities were not sufficient for their support. That too much of the fault lies in the parsi mony of the Government in contracting for cheap work, we doubt not, " penny wise and pound foolish" being the characteristic of men placed in situations where much money is at their command, but who have an inadequate amount of knowledge how to employ it. How comes it that the breaks-down complained of seldom or never occur but in her Majesty's steamers? I can only ac count for it in this way—that as the proprietors of mer chant vessels have less money than the Government to spare, they are more frugal in its expenditure, and go to the best market at once for their commodity; they get well supplied and their maker well paid, thus both em ployed and employe are well served; but put the case vice versa and you have the exact position of the Go vernment in the matter. Besides, I believe the merchant-owner has another advantage—he holds a bond in a heavy amount with the maker for the efficient working of his machinery for a given time, and any defect discovered within that time is made good at the expense of the contractor. lam not aware that the Government act so prudently. When we see the great names of Mau&lay, Fawcett, Rennie, Napier, Seaward, and others equally great in reputa tion, upon the machinery of our steam-frigates, we are apt to associate with them greatness' of performance, but the expectations are not realised. To spend hundreds of thousands of pounds in making steam-boat machi nery, and other hundreds of thousands in making them work properly, we fancy it is a species of insane foolery, which even the known softness of John Bull will not acknowledge much longer. We do not hear (certainly we have not such facilities of hearing, or they have better workmen) of the French steamers continually breaking down. I suppose because they are more skilful in their application of weights, or less improvident with their means. I believe too much encouragement is given to experimentalizing with ma chinery ; hence so many failures. How is it the Boulton and Watt engines do not break down, and are more durable than others ? Look at the engines of the little Comet by those famed makers ; they have been in the vessel ever since she was built, in 1824, and at the pre sent time work as easily and as beautifully as ever, and if a return were called for, it would be discovered she has not cost the Government 1001. for doctoring during her existence. In fact, her engines have completely worn out the vesse!. Where, then, are the improvements in steam-machinery since 1824 ? With regard to weights, the French Gorner—one of the largest steamers the Government pusses, and which fired our ambition, or jealousy, to commence steam-frigate building—is pro pelled by engines (by Fawcett) of 420 or 450-horse power, and this is power enough to please even the steam-invasion fostering Prince de Joinville. NAUTICUS. RAILWAY FARES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Thursday last I travelled from Manchester to Preston by the Manchester and Bolton Railway, and w s charged 6., 9d. first-class express, the ordinary trains being ss. 6d. I have been in the habit of travel ling on this line for some time past, and was never charged more than -6s. Is it not too bad the public should br. , imposed upon just as it suits the convenience of the directors ? Your paper being an upholder of honest and straightforward principles, could you not advilcate some general system to be laid down by Go vernment to regulate the charges on all railways ? By so doing you would confer a benefit on society. I am, Sir, yours, A CONSTANT TRAVELLER. Oct. 8. CRIME AND ITS PENALTT.—A man, of the name of Bright, living in North Carolina, lately shot a negro, wounding him so severely that the poor fellow died shortly after. Bright was arrestsd, tried, found guilty, an d sentenced top ay a fine of 5 dollars,—Patriet, EARL FITZHA_RDINGE AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF WEST GLOUCES TERSHIRE: • Mr. Granticv Berkeley, M.P. for West Gloucester shire, has issued the following address : TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF GLOUCESTER. "plyaffecting Friends and Fellow-c‘o4 u G n I tor c u lln e s e t n e , r_, Oct. u B, m l s B t a 4 n 6 e . e s d ie my position, and yours, have arisen, which rend er i t a matter of fimperious ris'ces-iy that I should th us a dd ress vou; th e b r e e n n o e n ver was any cone ' eal ment between us , there shall "I have a latt er , bearing date t e he no n w l . st of August, 1846, in la hich Lord Fitzhardi nge far the first time in forms me, that he s h a ll discontinue the support he had for so many years given to my representation of the county. You will, 1 am sure, p aalon me for not ' touching on all the wild passages of that angry letter, and permit me to bting under your notice the only strictly public accusation it contsius. In the sin cerest sorrow I assure y n, that were 1 in the pis sent instance to deem it non h my while to alnide to other ob jectionable portions of that remarkable communication, I could not do myself justice in my refutation of them, without touching with a tenfold deeper tint, certain and mischievously ruling or pri dominant shadows, that un- - happily are already too well known as imperiously ex isting in the quarter whence the aspersion comes. ."Lord Fitzhardinge, then, accuses me of having abused the Government patronage.' I could very easily call on all the members of the Governments, past and present, to clear me of this futile but also tangible charge ; but I will content myself- with laying the plain and stubborn facts before you. His Lordship alludes to a cadetship.' " The first and only cadetship I ever asked for or ob tained, I bestowed some years since on the son of Mr. J. Sheppard ; be is a branch of the family of that name long known in the county of Gloucester, in the vicinity of Dursley ; a member of the great body of Dissenters, and the author of a very clever pamphlet, published some years ago, headed Observations on the Ad dress of Sir Robert Peel to the Electors of Tam worth, showing the insufficiency of his Declaration of Principles.' I need only further state, that I have known and respected Mr. Sheppard for upwards of 20 years, and that he is at this moment a voter on the liberal registration of my division. The promise of a cadetship,' of which I am directly accused of having more recently and unfairly obtained,' is simply as follows: A very gentlemanlike, high spirited, and promising boy, a visitor and companion of my son's, and also my friend, was left an orphan in the world, without any immediate source of obtaining a profession. A lady, a relative of his, requested me to obtain for him a cadetship. On receiving that upplication, I wrote to my friend at the head of the India Board (Sir John Hobhouse), and told him I could not ask him for a favour he had some years before granted, but the letter, containing the application to me, I placed in his hands, with the hope that it would plead its own cause, backed by my willing testimony to the worth and gallant bearing of the boy. My friend, upon the contents of that speaking letter, promised me' that if he had a cadetship to bestow next November twelvemonth, the boy I patronised should have it.' "I don't disguise my sincere pleasure in having been instrumental in obtaining this promise. " Charges so ill-founded and futile as these scarce de serve a public notice, but I will leave the public to judge between me and my accusers, when words are perforce the only weapons to my hand. "Since I received the first-mentioned letter from Lord Fitzhardinge, announcing to me the withdrawal of his support, his Lordship, without giving me any notice of his intention, convened a meeting at Gloucester, and the written resolution which he induced that convention to arrive at run as follows: " A meeting of some of the influential supporters of the Liberal interest of the Western Division of Gleuces tershire having taken place at Gloucester on the 15th of September, 1846, and a statement having been made by Earl Fitzhardinge as to his future intentions with regard to the representation of the division, it was unanimously decided to support in every possible way the views and intentions of Lord Fitzhardinge as detailed to-day, and, as a necessary consequence, to deprecate every attempt which may be made to peril the Liberal interest in this division. (Signed) " • Thomas Kingscote, Joseph Watts, Edward Jones, John Probsn. 0. Stoughton, J. Pyrke, R. J. Purnell, R. F. Jenner, W. Joyner, Ellis.' " When this resolution was sent to me, involving as I found it did, a blind adherence to an unexplained plan, for there are names among them of decided protectionists, who will not support free-trade principles, or vote for any man that does, at least so they have assured me; and that it was in fact a resolution to sacrifice me to what soever nominee his Lordship might propose, I demanded that those same gentlemen should meet me at Glous rester on the 6th of October, and to that convention I invited Lord Fitzhardinge. With one or two exceptions, on the plea of illness, and with the omission of Lord Fitzhardinge, they afforded me the presence I required. Indeed, setting aside all other ties, an Englishman has a right to call for an interview face to face with his ac cusers, and having turned to one side of the question, they could not refuse to hear the other. " Their meeting afforded me all the personal satisfac tion the extraordinary circumstances admitted, but publicly they gave inn cone. I don't know now why Lord Fitzhardinge deserts me, or aby they, the gentle men who attended him, have seemed to take a step sanctioning his desertion, unless it is that he has refused to pay for the registration of the division if they don't obey him, and they are not prepared to pay for it; and they further say, if he does not do so, the division will fall into the hands of the protectionists.' A sorry com pliment to men, to principle, and measure, to deem that the voice of this great county depends on one man's gold! But still this can't be it—for the meeting contained pro tectionists, who, if sincere in their views, would desire to see the county in other hands. Since these gentle men met me, I have heard one of them declare he signed the paper conditionally.' Conditionally or not, I assign the whole proceeding in the first and primary n m o e t , a u s n c y al e l t e d an fo r a , g u i t n a c t o i onn ps t u i , h t : l l l i t c t i aggression,taeul n l n b a e e r os e s p o h t p o m ar o re e d ss s hs m i v towardsye p a a n in d ful but imperative duty to resist these aggressive steps towards me, for two reasons. The first, because no one has a right to wrest to any privately instilled animosity, the free choice of a free constituency, because when public party purposes suited private as well as public design, he assisted one general registration. In the second place, to withdraw the con fidence and support from a representative who was thought of judgment sufficient to propose a member to represent the whole county on the question of reform, and then to represent a division of the county himself after the reform was carried up to the present time, and who has from that time to this faithfully guarded his trust, to the utter defiance of any charge against him, is in fact a declaration that he has been found unworthy any longer to hold his place in Parliament. " I call therefore on the noblemen and gentlemen and independent electors of the Western Division to convene a public meeting in the early part of November next, when and where they please, at which I will attend to tender an account of my stewardship, and publicly de mand why Lord Fitzhardinge so unconditionally deserts me. On the field of politics, I stand precisely on the spot where he placed me. lam so far and no further, by his immediate desire, and with his personal concur rence, and, it is fair to presume, that in his unexplained desertion of me, be either contemplated a retrograde movement, or he means to jump beyond me, leave the at a spot to which my obedience to his wishes led me, and to join the free -traders to the evident extent of their wishes. At all events, by every law of courtesy and justice, he ought to give me the option of taking either step by his will I " A letter from one of my constituents in the Forest, who writes for himself and others, states, that they had heard that his Lordship had withdrawn his support from me; but they did not know exactly why, but the fact of his having dime so seemed to them to destroy every remaining hope of my re election. And then they began to look round and inquire who would be a suitable man to bring forward. Many of my able friends, if they must have some one in my place (which seemed to be inevitable), would prefer a gentleman altogether removed from the hostile influence of which my letter complained, and their inquiries were directed not to Berkeley Castle, butlo another quarter.' " These inquiries' refer to a period long previous to the letter' which my correspondent alludes to as having received from me; and I address the very natural in quiry to the paper signed at the meeting called by Lord Fitzhardinge, and ask, who then is it that has already ' placed in peril the Liberal interest; and who has and is about to sever the political ties so honourable to the old Castle? " Let every gentleman and man throughout the county withhold the promise of his support till these doubts are dispelled ; I am ready to sacrifice myself as I have long done, for her real interests, but not to an unworthy con spiracy, if one exists. lam in no way inclined to com mit a political suicide, or to allow my political l ife to die by the hand of undiscovered assassination.

A NEW SPECIES OF MoNomANTA.—The whims and caprices of some of the biped race may truly be said to amount to a species of monomania. At Stratford, in the suburbs of the m etro p olis, within the boundary of this county, resides an old and eecentric personage, possessed of considerable house property, who has a monomania for empty houses, and to such an extent does he indulge in this species of madness, that houses which would realise an aggregate annual rental of between 5001. and 6001. per annum he allows to stand empty, nor will the solicitations and importunities of his best friends induce him to let them. He is in the daily habit of calling on some of his neighbours, as he states, for a chat to pass the time away, but when interrogated about permitting his houses to stand empty, he invariably replies he has no time to attend to that matter. The loss already sustained in parochial rates. &c., in the parish of West Ham, from this empty house monomania, is estimated at from eleven to twelve hundred pounds.—Essex Standard. ..-.- --- The Albatross, 10 guns, in dock, making good de fects, and bringing forward for commission, is nearly completed. The new school for the dockyard apprentices, erected at the back of the sail-house in this yard, is nearly completed. The building is upwards of 80 feet in length, and nearly 40 feet wide, and it is rendered fire proof by beams of iron being used for joists instead of wood. The roof is of iron, which has been placed on by Mr. Knight, of Maidstone, and it is to be warmed with hot water pipes fitted by Messrs. Price and Manby, of Derby-street, Westminster. The superintendent's residence has undergone thorough repair, and, being finished, the family of the newly-appointed Captain-Superintendent, Sir Thomas Bouchier, has removed into it. Arrived, the Aid, Smallman, master, with stores from Portsmouth, and will load for Woolwich and Deptford. WOOLWICH, OCT. 9.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain John Robb, is ready for service, having had her defects made good. She will embark Sir Henry Pottin ger, the newly-appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and proceed to that station. The Scourge bomb steam-vessel, Commander Caffin, will leave Woolwich on Saturday or Sunday for Chat ham, and embark troops at that port for Guernsey and the Channel Islands, and convey the depot of the 27th Regiment from Guernsey to Portsmouth. The Porcupine steam vessel, Captain Bullock, arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon to be repaired, and it is contemplated to send her to Ireland to render any assistance she is capable of in that part of the United Kingdom. The Blazer steam-vessel, Captain Washington, is ex pected to proceed to Ireland for service on that coast. The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commands! Hawker, is fitting in the basi n ; she is to be armed with two 32-pounders of 56 cwt. each, and two 32-pottnd els of 25 cwt. each.

Carstanl Niebuhr was at Jidda, a nobleman of that place requested that he would discover to him the thief who had stolen 200 sequins which he had lost, for All Mahomedans consider an astronomer and an astro loger as the same, and M. Niebuhr had been using his astronomical instruments in the nobleman's presence. M. Niebuhr excused himself on the plea of entire ignorance of future events, and as cultivating the science of astro nomy only to improve the art of navigation. Applica tion was then made to a famous scheick, whose astrology was much more to the purpose. The scheick gathered all the servants together, ranged them in line, and atm a long prayer, made each of them take into his mouth a bit of folded paper, telling them that they who were in nocent might swallow it with safety, but that the guilty person would be choked by it. They all swallowec! paper save one, who being thus surprised and terrified, became embarrassed, confessed the theft, end made ree• titution.
