The air was laden with a pestilential stench, and though the re cumbent figures appeared too tired and exhausted for any active or boisterous devilry, the scene was as revolting as anything told us of the prisons Howard shuddered at and reformed. The only people in charge of these wretched casuals were the son of the keeper of the lodging-house and her old male ser vant, On our asking for the certificate of regis tration which should be kept in each room in accord ance with the provisions of the Common Lodging house Act, we were coolly told that since the place had been taken by the Lambeth Workhouse it was no longer a registered house: Thus the parochial authorities, instead of hiring beds in a lodging house, have hired a lodging-house to demoralise it, and have thrust their casual paupers into a place in comparison to which the condemned shed is a sani tary elysiurn, and between which and the certified " show" ward there is as wide a discrepancy as be tween the hold of a slave ship and the saloon cabins of a passenger steamer. The word of promise has been kept to the Poor law Board while its spirit has been shamefully broken, and at the very moment guardians were declaiming against unjust aspersions, and a clergy man denouncing " sentimental sympathy," naked paupers were being packed away in a fashion im possible in the worst of gaols, and offering an in vitation and an encouragement to physical and moral disease.--Daily News. ~~~. ~-~~ Published by J.

We gather from the German papers the following notices of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, the fu:ure husband of Princess Helena :—According to the Gotha Almanac, the highest authority on such matters, Prince Christian was born on the 22d of January, 1831; so that, during his stay at Osborne, he has just celebrated'his 35th birthday. He is the second son of the Duke Christian of Schleswig- Holstein, who is still alive, but who has resigned in favour of his eldest son, Duke Frederick. His early years were spent at the Castle of Augusten burg, in the island of Alsen, where his father pos sessed large estates, celebrated both for the fertility of their soil and the beauty of their scenery. No cloud, at that time, seemed to threaten the happiness of the Ducal family, and under Dr. Steffens, now professor at the University at Basle, Prince Christian, with his . brothers and sisters, received a careful education. Danish was spoken in the Duke's family almost as much as German, and the Young Prince soon acquired a mastery not only of these two languages, but likewise of French and English. Political events, which from the year 1840 began to assume great importance in Schleswig-Holstein, were not allowed to interfere with the studies of the young Princes, although they had to accompany their father to Schleswig whenever the meetings of the Estates required the presence of the Duke. In 1848, however, the quiet family circle of Aug-listen burg was broken up. Prince Christian, though only 17 years of age, followed the example of his elder brother, and served as a cavalry officer in the campaigns of 1848, 1849, and 1850. In 1852, when the Schleswig-Holstein army was dissolved by Austria and Prussia, Prince Christian had to share the exile of his family. Together with his elder brother he went, in 1852, to the University of Bonn, where he attended chiefly the lectures of Dahlmann and Moritz Arndt. It was here that Prince Christian met the young Prince of Prussia, who has ever since remained his faithful friend. After leaving the University, the two Princes of Schleswig-Holstein travelled for a time in France and Italy. At Rome, in particular, they made a protracted stay, and devoted themselves to a study of Roman antiquities, under the intelligent guidance of Dr. Karl Lorentzew; the learned editor of " Vitruvius." After their return to Germany Prince Christian decided on entering the Prussian army. He first joined a regiment of Cuirassiers, and afterwards the Uhlan regiment of the Guards. Like his father, whose stud was one of the most famous in Germany, Prince Christian soon became one of the leading members of the Jockey Club for North ern Germany. He even contributed to a sporting— or, as the Germans call it, a hippological —journal, which was published under the title of The. Spur. In 1864 he again saw active service, and took part in the occupation of the island of Alsen by the Prus sians. When Count Bismark, after defending at the Conference of London the rights of Duke Fre derick, concluded the treaty of Vienna, and dis closed the ulterior objects of Prussia —or, at all events, of his own policy—with regard to the Elbe Duchies, Prince Christian, although more of an officer than a politician, felt it due to his brother to resign active service. He remained, however, a Prussian officer till the conduct of Gen. Manteuffel, the Prussian Governor of Schleswig, towards his elder brother, and the approval of that conduct by the organs of Count Bismark, left him no choice but to send in his definite resignation. He is therefore no longer in the Prussian service, and, to judge from the remarks of certain official japers, his marriage with an English Princess is anything but welcOme to , those at present in authority at Berlin. TheLambeth Guardians and the Casual Poor. The arrangements for the casual poor at Lambeth are as shamefully inefficient as before the recent ex posure. We will go further, and say that the dis graceful condition of the sleeping places provided for such male casuals as cannot be accommodated in the regular ward is as foul a blot upon parochial management as has yet been hit. For the revela- _ . tions of the amateur casual are supposed to have put the Lambeth guardians on their mettle— an influential local meeting has been held at which the hasty judgments of the public have been deprecated—the rector of the parish has vouched for the admirable character of the arrangements made—the Poor-law Board has given the full weight of its official authority to the enforcement of alterations—and most of us have fondly supposed that the horrors described and hinted at as taking place in the shed were no longer possible. Instead of this, the chances of their existence have been ag gravated a thousandfold by the measure put forward and accepted as a reform. The shed, with all its drawbacks, was a palace compared to the rooms which now supplement the casual ward. The vari ous gentlemen who visit Lambeth Workhouse at this time, and who inscribe in its visitors' book their commendations of the comforts it provides for casuals, should extend their researches to the lodg ing-houses just chartered by the guardians. The beautifully ordered " show " ward—the swept and empty - shed—the clean and burnished baths—the cocoa matting, to preserve the bather's feet from contact with the stairs—the cheerful fire, kept up all night the bright but carefully mode rated gas—the perfect ventilation—the sym metrical order of the barrack beds—the ample supply of pure drinking water—the clean, well-aired blue night-gown provided for each sleeper—combine to make the recognised accommodation at Lambeth, for both male and female casuals, resemble that of some favoured boarding school, where the mistress is kind-hearted and the master liberal. It is more luxurious than any of the refuges. It would com pare advantageously—and this is a bold word —with the most exquisite of model prisons. Who can won der, therefore, that guardians and their friends are indignant at the allegations made against an estab lishment where the comforts are so obvious, and the kind care taken of vagrants so palpable and marked? On going over this male casual ward for the fourth time last Wednesday night, its superiority to some others seemed as great as ever ; and it was not until the filthy horrors of the sleeping places not ordinarily seen by visitors were realised that the description of the shed scenes came home with re newed force. Some quarter of a mile from the workhouse, and near the river -side, is the lodging-house to which all male casuals are now sent who apply for shelter after the casual ward is full. At half-past ten on the night in question in one of its upper rooms, a cramped little place, in which perhaps half a dozen small bedsteads might be packed, more than twice that number of men and youths lay huddled on the floor. They were all perfectly naked, and had clustered together for the sake of animal heat, just as sleeping swine are seen together. They rested upon what seemed to be hay mattresses, but which were ranged close together, - without any division, so that they made practically one huge floor-bed for each side of the room. The naked sleepers had rugs for covering, and on an adventurous visitor turning down one of these the brawny figures of three mus cular tramps—bare as when they came into the world —were seen to be entwined together, an in distinguishable mass of naked flesh, Youths lay in the anus of men, men were enfolded in each other's The New Parliament. Nearly seven years having elapsed since a new Parliament was convened in the Palace of West minster, ordinary men may be excused for not re membering precisely the mode of procedure on such occasions before the new house settles down into working order, interesting though it always is at the time, and perhaps never more so than it will probably be on the forthcoming ceremony. One has only vague recollections of the tedious process, lasting sometimes through a whole week, day after day, of swearing in the members in batches at the table, and of the house eventually proceed ing to business ; but old members will not have for gotten the formalities which invariably precede this ceremony, and it may be a service to new ones to describe them. On the meeting of the last new Par liament, in the summer of 1859, the process of swear ing occupied four clear days, the House sitting from 2 o'clock till 4 each day, and part of a fifth. The House assembled for the first time on Tuesday, the 31st of May, and the sitting was chiefly occupied in the election of a Speaker. It met again on Wed nesday, June 1, and so on from day to day, Satur day excepted, for the purpose of swearing members, and ultimately proceeded to business on Tuesday, the 7th of June, when the Queen opened Parliament in person. On that day the House met at 1 o'clock as usual, and members continued to take the oaths down to the very moment of their being summoned to attend her Majesty in the House of Lords. At the opening of the previous Parliament, which took place on the 30th of April, 1857, five whole days and part of a sixth were spent in administering the oaths to members, exclusive of that en which the Speaker was elected, the House finally entering on the busi ness before it on Thursday, the 7th of May, when Parliament was opened by Commission. Assuming the precedents of former Parliaments to be followed, when the new House first meets on Thursday, the Ist of February, the members will be first summoned to the bar of the House of Lords to hear the Commission read. On presenting themselves there they will hear from the lips of the Lord Chancel lor a statement to the effect that as soon as the mem bers of both Houses shall have been sworn, the causes of Parliament being called together will be declared to them, and that they should first of all repair to their own Chamber, and there proceed to their ap pointment of some proper person to be their Speaker. The Commons will then withdraw for that purpose, and the House of Lords will be adjourned during pleasure, but only to unrobe. On that House having resumed, the Lord Chancellor will first take and subscribe the oath singly, at the table. According to Mr. Erskine May, the great authority in these matters, the Clerk of the Crown then delivers a cer tificate of the return of the 16 representative Peers of Scotland, and Garter King of Arms the roll of the Lords Temporal ; after which the Lords who are present take and subscribe the oaths required by law. A Peer of the Blood Royal takes the oath singly, like the Lord Chancellor. At this time also Peers are introduced who have received writs of summons, or who have been newly created by letters patent, and they present their writs orpatents to the Lord Chancellor, kneeling on one knee. They .are introduced in their robes, between two other Peers of their own dignity, also in their robes, and are preceded 14y the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, by Garter King of Arms, and by the Earl Marshal and Lord Chamberlain, though it is not absolutely necessary that the last two officers should be pre sent. Being thus introduced, Peers are conducted to their seats according to their dignity. A Bishop is introduced by two other Bishops and conducted to his seat among the Spiritual Lords, but without the formalities observed in the case of the Temporal Peers. The Representative Bishops of Ireland are not introduced by other Bishops, but take the oaths, subscribe the roll, and proceed to their seats without any particular ceremony. While these stately formalities are being observed in the Upper House, the members of the Lower House will be engaged in electing their Speaker —a ceremony which in some respects is conducted after a somewhat quaint fashion. For example, when a member rises to nominate a Speaker,'the Clerk at the Table, to whom he has to address himself by name, is expected to " stand up, point to him, and then sit down." This formality was solemnly ob served by Sir Denis Le Merchant, the Clerk, when in April, 1857, Lord Harry Vane rose in his place to propose Mr. Denison to be Speaker, and again in May, 1859, when Colonel Wilson Patten did the like. The motion having been seconded, if no other member than one be proposed as Speaker, the member so nominated is called by the House to the chair without any question being put. He then stands up in his place, and, expressing his sense of the honour intended to be conferred upon him, submits himself to the House. The House a second time unanimously calls him to the chair, upon which his proposer and seconder " take him out of his place" and conduct him to the chair. Arrived there, " he stands on the upper step," and express ing his sense of the high honour the House has been pleased to confer upon him, takes his seat. The Mace, which up to this time has been under the table, is then laid upon the table, where it always remains during the sitting of the House, with the Speaker in the chair. The Speaker elect is then congratulated by some leading member, and the House adjourns. In 1859 both Lord Palmerston and the then Chancellor of the Exchequer offered their congratulations to the Speaker elect. Lord Palmerston had done the same in 1857 with Mr. Walpole, the latter speaking in the unintentional absence of Mr. Disraeli, arising from a misunder standing as to the hour of meeting of the House. When the House assembles on the day following the election, the Speaker, on the message of " Black Rod," and accompanied by the members in attend ance, presents himself at the Bar of the House of Lords and "submits himself, with all humility, to her Majesty's gracious approbation." On return ing from the Lords, the Speaker reports to the House his approval by the Sovereign, and puts them iu mind that their first duty is to take and subscribe the oaths required by law. Then he him self first, alone, " standing upon the upper step of the chair," takes and subscribes the oath accord ingly, the other members present following. The manner of taking the oaths is prescribed by the statutes, 30th of Charles 11., statute 2 ; the 13th of William 111., cap. 6, and the Ist of George 1., statute 2, cap. 13.. It is there enacted that " no member of the House of Peers shall vote or make his proxy in the House of Peers, or sit there Trial of a Portuguese War Steamer. His Portuguese Majesty's screw corvette Duke de Palmella, 13 guns, 150-horse power, nominal, Capt. D. S. Rodrigues, made her trial trip yesterday off the Maplin Sands, in a very successful and satisfac tory manner. The Duke de Palmella is an un armoured wooden built corvette, of 850 tons, and her engines, of 150, nominal, horse power, are but small in proportion to the vessels tonnage. Never theless, a mean speed of within a fraction of ten knots was attained, the working of the machinery throughout the daybeing as near perfection as could well be desired. The vessel was built at the Royal dockyard, Lisbon, and after her launch was sent to England, jury rigged, to receive her machinery from the contractors, Messrs. Ravenhill, Hodgson, and Co., and to be fitted in all the internal arrangements of her hull, and with rigging by Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon, shipbuilders and engineers, of Millwall and Fenchurch-street. Both contracts appear to have been fulfilled in the most faithful manner, both machinery and general fittings throughout being fully equal to the best specimens of the kind on board any of the ships of her Majesty's navy. The vessel is ship rigged, and bears a bold seaworthy appearance on the water, especially so for a vessel of her small tonnage. She is 160 ft. in length be tween perpendiculars, with 36ft. extreme breadth. Her armament consists of 12 light 32-pounder guns, mounted on near chock carriages on the broadside, with one 56-pounder rifled Blakely gun mounted on a pivot carriage on the forecastle. She has also one 9-pounder Blakely rifle, with its limber and ammunition carriage, as a fieldpiece. The ship's machinery consists of a pair of horizontal engines, with double piston rods and return connecting rods, similar in their general arrangements to the engines supplied by this firm to the British Board of Admiralty. The cylinders are 39 inches, in diameter with a stroke of two feet. The slide valves are, as usual, placed vertically on the outside of the cylinders and work direct by the link motion. The connecting rods are each 4ft. Gin. in length, being 41 times the length of the crank. The feed and bilge pumps are of brass fitted with indiarubber valves, and are worked direct from the crossheads. Re volving expansion valves are fitted so as to cut off the steam at points varying from one-tenth to five tenths of the stroke. The boilers are two in number, and are fitted with brass tubes placed athwartships at the back of the furnaces, being thus arranged to keep the higher parts of the boilers below the load water line of the ship. The propeller is two-bladed, and brass. It has two movable blades, its present pitch being 12ft. Gin., and its diameter 10ft. Gin. The ship, when she started from Tilbury yesterday morning on her trial, was complete in all her stores and seagoing trim, her mean draught of water being 12ft. Mr. John Dudgeon represented on board the Messrs. J. W. Dudgeon as the fitters of the ship, and Messrs. Hodgson and Rusby the Messrs. Raven ' hill and Co., the makers of the engines. The ship left at 30 minutes past noon on the last of the ebb tide' the wind being light from N.W., and the water, from the time of the ship's departure until her re turn, quite smooth. In running past the Lower Hope measured mile marks the ship was found to be going 9.473 knots, with the revolutions of the en gines as yet very much under their estimated maxi mum number, the machinery working with the greatest smoothness, and the vibration felt at the bow and the stern of the ship being unusually slight for a wooden vessel. In one hour and six minutes from leaving Tilbury the Chapmal Light was passed, and in one hour and 30 minutes Southend pier —a distance of 20 miles from Tilbury —was also passed. The revolutions of the engines were now ranging between 99 and 100, and on the ship reaching the Maplin Sands, at about 2.30 p.m., she was at once placed on the measured mile there, and two runs taken—one with and one against the tide. In the first run down,_ against the young flood tide, the time occupied in running over the mile was 6min. 48sec., which gave the ship a speed of 8.823 knots, the revolutions of the engines being 99, the pressure of steam 211 b., and the vacuum 241 in. In the second run, with the tide, the time was 6min. 25sec., giving the ship a speed of 11.077 knots, the steam pressure, as before, 211 b., and the vacuum 241 in. The mean of both runs gave the trial speed of the ship as 9.950 knots per hour. Considering that this result was attained without any extraor dinary ninent measures being takeno n r e nexetrathperetsrsiaulrseebf alleing put upon the engines, as is do the er fact Majesty's e in t u y s ' t s h s h e i ps gratifyingw h e when th o h p u h t e over the t e mile Government course, powerde Palmella small of his Majesty the King of Portugal and to the manufacturers of the ship's engines.

A frigate, the Dom Pedro V., a vessel built on the lines of our own frigate the Galatea, is also nearly ready for launching, and will also be sent to England for her fitment and ma chinery. This latter vessel, although an unarmed frigate, will form a most important addition to the royal navy of Portugal. The senior Lieutenant of the Duke of Palmella, M. J. Carvalho, served as Lieutenant in the English royal navy for two years on board her Majesty's ships Conqueror and Galatea. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills.

EWS Th 3 Ecizorci.:T cf 13irming At a meeting of the ToWn Council of Bbiinl ham yesterday, the Mayor (I\ir. Edwin Yates) read a formal letter from Mr. Hill, announcing his re signation of the Recordership. The following is an extract :—" Since the year 1839, when our Court of quarter Sessions came into existence, such has been the manufacturing and commercial activity of Birmingham that the number of its inhabitants was doubled, and now more than half the population of Warwickshire is gathered under your jurisdiction. This enormous increase, unparalleled, I believe, in any preceding periol of no greater length, has aug mented the duties of all classes, but more especially of those whose social position calls upon them to take a leading part in whatever regards the govern ment and welfare of the town, or its dignity as the midland capital of the realm. You, sir, your pre decessor and your fellow labourers in the public cause have not been wanting in the fulfilment of your arduous duties. Many elaborate. works for sanitary improvement, many a valuable institution for the cure or alleviation of bodily and mental ailments, for the instruction of the young, for the conservation in after life and the further develop ment of acquisitions made in youth, and for other • laudable purposes, have had their origin since that epoch. Nor has the pressing need been overlooked • for extending the facilities for Divine worship, so as to make them commensurate with the enlarged num bers of the people. 'Whether or not this great ob ject has been as yet fully accomplished is a question into which I feel I ought not to enter. Aided and encouraged by the munificence of two distinguished neighbours, by whom the happiness of all who are less fortunately placed in the social scale than themselves has ever been earnestly sought, you have made provision for exercise in the open air and for harmless recreation of the multitudes who crowd your workshops in their long hours of labour. The absence of such provision pressed hard in former days on all ranks . and ages, especially on the rising generation, and was a source of deep re gret to many besides myself. But I never hoped to witness exertions so zealous and so successful as you have made towards supplying the want to which I refer. Were this a fitting opportunity I could dwell with much pleasure to myself upon the response which these efforts of the wealthier classes have called forth from that far more numerous body for whose benefit they were mainly intended. I have observed from time to time with cordial satisfaction the contributions made from their little stores by artisans and their families to your hospitals and to other similar charities, and this growing desire among the least affluent to take their share (and, perhaps, somewhat beyond their share), in the duties of benevolence, is all the more surely pregnant with good as it is not confined to any one in town, but seems to be gradually pervading the whole nation. My attention, you will readily believe, has been espe cially attracted to your endeavours for the preven tion of crime and for obtaining changes in the treat- - ment of criminals, so as to bring it into accordance with the enlightened spirit of our age. Birmingham has established and continues to support ragged and industrial schools and reformatories, together with an excellent association for affording assistance to prisoners on their discharge from gaol. And long before the obligation for treating even the youngest of our criminals on reformatory principles was gene rally recognised in practice, or even admitted in theory, Birmingham set an example of Christian brotherhood such as I cannot reflect upon without pride and gratitude. How often have I been relieved from the pain of visiting the child with a sentence ap propriate only to the man by the willingness —nay, eagerness, of the injured party to receive back into his service, and not seldom into his family, the juvenile offender who had made a sad return tbr prior kind ness ; but who, nevertheless, the benevolent master believed—and oftentimes with truth—might yet be reclaimed by assiduous and affectionate supervision! You have also erected, at no small pecuniary cost, a prison, which, if it leave something to be desired, has accomplished much in promoting the health of the inmates and in securing them from further de terioration in morals by separating them from their fellows, and by supplying them with instruction and employment. Add to this, you have taken upon yourselves the burden of maintaining a large body of police, and have wisely evinced your readiness to extend this force so often as it shall be proved that such extension is necessary to the due protection of the borough. It would be easy to multiply instances manifesting a similar devotion to the interests of Birmingham, but I should be at a loss to justify myself for such a trespass on your time. I cannot, however, forbear to express my gratification at the assured prospect that you will shortly enjoy the ad vantage to be derived from the trial in your courts of all causes arising in the borough, both civil and criminal. The necessity for carrying parties and witnesses to a distance from their homes often amounts to a denial of justice. Even in civil ac tions this defect is barely tolerable, but in criminal proceedings the evil is so great that I dare not trust myself to characterise it as it deserves. In my own experience I have known that the mere accident of the scene of .an imputed crime being in a country town, whereby the trial of the accused took place on the same spot, has furnished opportunity for the establishment of innocence under circumstances wherein if the trial had been held affar off, so that witnesses could not have been summoned during the progress of the case and immediately on the disco very that their evidence had become material., con viction and death must have inevitably followed." TIIE LONDON.—PLYMOUTII, Thursday.--Th e brig Courier, 209 tons register, Captain Price, belonging to Newport, South Wales, left Femoral; in Spain, with a cargo of ore, Dec. 30. On Wednesday, Jan. 10, she was crossing the Bay of Biscay, at 2 p.m., when in about lat. 40 44 N., and long 8 15 W., there was a gale from south west nearly, if anything it may have been a little more southerly. The Courier was running under close-reefed topsails, with her head north-east, When a large and very long ship-riggedsteamer was observed ahead. It was blow ing very hard, with a sea running high. The brig had approached so near before the steamer was observed that the mato called out suddenly to the steersman to port the helm, and the Courier had to bear up to keep clear, and passed about a quarter of a mile astern of the stranger. The steamer (supposed now to be the London) was then under close-reefed maintopsail only, with her head about west north-west. There was no indication of steam. Her foretopgallant mast was hanging with the gear on the starboard side, and the jibboom, with its gear, was hang ing to the bowsprit. Her main and mizen masts were all right, but the topsail yards were in confusion, ono peaking one way and one the other. There was no flag of distress flying, but the ship appeared to behave very badly at sea, and the crew of the Courier conjectured that she was in distress. It was so hazy that her name could not be dis cerned, neither could any of the crew or passengers be seen. Tho steamer continued in sight while daylight lasted. The Courier kept on her course under the same canvas until 4 p.m., when she was hove to in consequence of the increase of the gale, which on Wednesday night be came a hurricane, the wind varying from S.S.W. to S.W.; it kept shifting two or three points, but never got to the northward of west. On Thursday and Thursday night there was no change. On Friday, the 12th, at 8 a.m., the brig was under her foretopsail and the clew of her main sail ; at 11 a.m., the wind having moderated, sail was made: She arrived here on Thursday, the 25th, to dis charge her cargo.
