DUBLIN, JUNE 29. Her Majesty and her Royal Consort intend to visit this country early in the ensuing autumn. At present no day is named, but the royal party will probably arrive in this city about the second week in August. An official communication has been received by the secretary of one of the yacht clubs in Kingstown, announcing that her Majesty has been pleased to make an annual grant of 100 guineas for a cup to be run for at the Kingstown Regatta. Ilor Ma jesty expresses an apprehension that she cannot be in Ireland in time to be present at the regatta. Lord Miltown, in reply to the circular inviting him to join the Irish League, has sent the following answer:— " Morrison's Hotel, Monday. "Sir,—l intended this day to have given a verbal ex planation of my opinion of your circular containing the proposed terms' for a reunion of Repeaters, received by me last Friday. Finding the meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association has been postponed, I beg to offer the following hurried remarks. "No one can be more convinced than I am of th mischief caused by our divisions. 'Tis this that ha made Ireland a wretched, neglected, and misgovernd province; it is the perfect union—a real love of counts. —that exists among the people, that has rendered &e -land a happy, prosperous, and respected country. But, in seeking to promote:: this so-much-rtquired union among all classes, we should be careful not to adept a line of conduct, or profess principles, that would wid en, not heal the breach that at present exists, and foree a large and influential body of our countrymen, in self defence, to array themselves against us ; and this, I have no hesitation in saying, the for mation of the proposed new society, without explanation and amendment of the rules, wouldifcause When I first joined the Repeal Association of. Ireland, I thought, and still think, that the body called Young Ireland had been badly treated—that, as an ab stract principle, there were circumstances that might render a recurrence to physical force both legal and necessary, whether on the part of individuals or of nations, but that these were, protecting the rights we possess, not regaining what was no longer ours, tie mat ter how unjustly we might have been deprived of them— I said that, in many respects, I agreed with them that Conciliation-hall had too often been made the stepping stone to place and profit ; and I also thought, and still think, that too much stress was laid on the collection of money from an impoverished and confiding people, for as to carrying the repeal by the mere levies of rent, I look on it as absurd as the idea of vanquishing the power of mighty England in the battlefied, with the pike (Queen of weapons fur the King of fools), or the brown barrels which, we are told in a late publication, are hidden in great numbers in the ditch sides (and in such an armoury brown enough they must be). I thought, therefore, there were faults on both sides—and that to bring the moral force of a united people to bear on the cause, concessions must be made by both. Since then, however, many connected with the confe derates have declared, both in their speeches and writings, that it is not repeal, but revolution—not the restoration of our native Parliament, but the establish ment of a Republic—that they seek; nay, one writer in a new publication (that well deserves its name) declares that nothing but a general notice to quit served on the landlords, a new division of the laud, and, in fact, as Lull a scheme of confiscation and communism as could be well devised, will satisfy him. Now, sir, are we to admit men professing such doctrines into our loyal, legal, and constitutional association? Are we to delude our loyal people into the belief that such phrases as calling our beloved Queen " a mere block of a gilded symbol" has our approbation, or is sanctioned by us, or would be by their clergy? Are we to outrage the vast body of proprietors of land (for small holders as well as large are equally threatened with confiscation, and " all titles to land to be declared invalid if not held directly from the people")—are we, I say, tacitly to sanction a scheme by which the very bonds of society would be rent asunder by forming a society under rules by which men advocating such sentiments could, without in fringing them, become members. I have been car ried by the subject to far greater length than I intended when I commenced; let me briefly conclude by stating_ on wh it grounds I can belong to the new body. I have no objection to the name—let it be the Irish League for the attainment of the legislative independence of Ireland —but we should add, by legal and constitutional means.' And first of ail, and above all, the society and all its members should be pledged to undeviating attachment, loyalty, and obedience, to our Gracious Sovereign. The other rules I do not object to, with the exception of the fifth, as I conceive a popular body of the kind should be directed by a committee, not self-elected, like the present ones, but chosen by the whole body, on a principle that I hope one day to see carried out on a larger scale, vote by ballot.' On such, and such conditions only, can I belong to the proposed society, or do I conceive it can safely be constructed. By thus giving my opinion, I feel 1 may offend both parties; but I have the consolation of knowing I have but one object in view, the prosperity of nay native land, and the happiness and safety of my countrymen.—Your obedient servant, " T. M. Ray, Esq." ~ MILTOWN. ASTURIAN MINING COMPANY. A general meeting of this company was held yesterday Lt their offices, No. 9, Austin-friars; Mr. Pratt in th© chair. The report stated that the mines had been brought into active operation, that a situation about twelve miles to the north of Oviedo was favourable in a commercial point of view, but the mine on which Mr. Manby, the manager in Spain, depended had proved altogether useless. and it was necessary to obtain fresh concessions from the Spanish Government before they could break fresh ground. Then, in addition to these drawbacks, immediately on the arrival of the machinery necessary for carrying on the works, a duty of 25 to 30 per cent. had been laid upon it by tl,e Spanish Government, and the petition for its removal remained altogether unnoticed for between eight and nine months. Ultimately this difficulty was nemovrd, and Mr. Lambert having been appointed successor to Mr. Manby, the new ground had been taken up. and already upwards of 250 tons of pig iron had been made, and the only blast furnace now in operation is weekly producing 70 tons of ,iron. Th. ore produced scenes to be an amalgam of iron, mercury, sulphur, and ars, , nie, and during the last few months up wards of 5,0001. worth of mercury had been prod.u6cl by distillation, and sold to the Spanish Governmi2nt. The mines had, however, suffered a great interruption from the proceedings of the alcalde of the village, who, in consequence of the death of a man employed in the works, which was occasioned by the large quantity of arsenic combined with the mercury, suspen ;led the works for a long period. An action for his conduct has been commenced in Spain, and a verdict is likely to be obtained in favour of the company. The directors regretted their inability to declare a dividend at present, but the prospects of the company justified the expecta tion that this evil will soon be remedied. The balance sheet showed the expenses and cost of the mines to be 153,3341. 14s. 9d.. and the credits of property on hand and from other sources about 17,0001. short of this amount. To several inquiries, Mr. SCALES, one of the directors, replied that the iron produced in Spain was made at the rate of 31. 108. a ton, whilst that produced in Staffordshire costs, at. the lowest estimate, 71. a ton. To the inquiries of other shareholders, The CHAIRMAN replied that there were now more than 600 tons of ore upon the surface, which, at the lowest rate, is worth 12,000/. Mr. IlEmiNc, one of the directors, who had made a scientific analysis of the ore, believed that it was worth close upon 0 0,0004 as much of the ore had already been sold at 20/ a ton. To some observations of Mr. BURTON, complaining of the non-election of a member of the body of directors, The CHAIRMAN replied, that having been himself in Spain, and ha vin g become p e rsonally acquainted with the d tthh to eatbiot Spaina wasd is necessary nT ohw The agbuoaun t t ot quantity elect iron roomnee property, zsppoa rn i e o s dhw fromamerchant l e at d no tons a year, and this supply was sure to be superseded by that from the company's mines, so that there must be an agent there to transact the business. Mr. Colquhoun is n ow at the mines, and Colonel Stopford is at Madrid, to secure the interests of the company. After some discussion of the statement of the ac counts, M r . A, Wilson, the retiring director, was re elected, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. 13011E11 EXPLOSION. DUDLEY, FRIDAY. -- An other boiler explosion of a frightful and fatal character occurred in the neighbourhood of this town last night. The scene of the calamity was the Bloomfield works (Messrs. Barrows and Hall) at Tipton. One end, it appears, from some cause or other yet to be explained, gave way, forcing the boiler (which was about seven tons weight) with considerable violence across the canal into Mr. Round's brick-yard, a distance of upwards of one hundred yards. One man was killed, and, as far as yet ascertained, ten others more or less seriously injured. Fortunately the two mills were not at work at the time of the occurrence, or the loss of life would have been frightful indeed. A general meeting of the agriculturists of Belgium has been convened by M. Rogier, for the. purpose of encouraging that body by institutirg, it Ras believed, a club similar to the one in England. The project is ono which has several times been spoken of as on the eve of formation, but from some cause or other no step hitherto has been taken to establish the society. The views of M. Rogier appear by these accounts to have been well received; the more so, perhaps, as agriculture suffers at the present moment as severely as any other interest from the general pressure of the times. \ f it - .4 . f‘i I \ Bamits—ldessre.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not Only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fever, this golden tide of the manliest feelings beenmes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before brightened, all thin s upon earth. We still love on. but disappointment acts like a canker worm, and gnaws at the root of every feeling on which we subsi.t. Of the causes by which disappointment is superinduced, none ope rate more frequently than an inward consciousness that the will to enter the holy fane of matrimony is not equalled by the power to encounter its obligations. Why is it that actions for breach of pro mise of marriage are so often brought a.tainst the most honourable of men, and the most ardent of suitors? How is it that men, of most unchangeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most Viidit,g to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important end+. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of u nalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting", and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in DR.

Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of.the London Hospital Medical Society, &c, „• _ Marriage reqaires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which avers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source is every instance disclosed, in how may could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointmeats. Excesses are always inJuriou.s ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and couseatience of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains as accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative condition' in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of • the physical capabilities of which every man should be• possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap- PlYine to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and tho dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi., posse'sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. L.A'MEILT ha obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many Years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Difildence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter.

Physical incapacity, and broken health, a►e the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar computed from the returns made in the week ending June 27, 1848. is 243. 11 1 Ad. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 30.) SUGAR.—To - day there was no improvement in the home demand for Raw Sugar, although the Government proposition has passed one stage, and as originally pro posed; there is also every prospect that the new duties will be in operation next week. West India was held for full rates ; but buyers operated with reluctance, and only 450 bhds, &c. were sold, including at public sale 125 hhds Barbadoes, which went at full market rates ; good at 41s 6d to 42s 6d, middling and good middling 39s 6d to 41s per owt. The total sales for the week are 1,850 hhds and trcs, and prices about the same as on Friday last, but with a quiet market. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were in excellent request by the home trade, and prices are on the ad vance—brown grocery lumps selling at 55s to 55s 6d, and standard lumps 56s per cwt. The quantity of goods on offer is small, more especilly of sorts worth under 56s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale at former rates. MAITRITIIIS.—On the part of importers there is firm ness, and former rates are insisted upon for all qualities. The demand has been less active for both grocery and refining purposes, whilst the supply has been upon a more enlarged scale. Of 124 tierces, and 6,008 bags submitted to public sale not above half found buyers. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Madras Sugar was not much required and 2,105 bap at publio saie wept za- ---- .. -.

FOREIGN.—The inactivity of the market for all de scriptions of Foreign Sugar has further increased this week, and on the part of importers there appears a desire to: realise. For exportation scarcely any orders have been completed; few sales aro made by home buyers, and our refiners working under bond are little in want of Sugar. MOLASSE;.—On the part of West India there is much firmness; 'but only a limited demand has been expe rienced during this week, Previous rates are well sup ported for all sorts, and arrivals continue to fall off, whilst deliveries are on the increase. Cocoa.—West India is not offered at any further de cline, but the trade operate with caution, and there is a plentiful supply, whilst further arrivals are expected. At public sale 250 bags Trinidad were all taken in at the full value. For all kinds of Foreign the market is dull. COFFEE.—This afternoon the operations in Mocha were Lot upon an enlarged scale, and 110 bales, 861 bales at auction went ate urther decline of Is to 2s; mid - - dling greenish clean sold at 45s to 465, pea bery 53s to 71s, sea damaged 42s to 60s, and triage 28s to 32s 6d. Ot Plantation Ceylon 127 bags 6 casks went at steady rates, but a part only sold; low and middling 43s to 48s, fine fine ordinary 40s to 42s 6d, ordinary 28s. 263 bags and 13 packages of La Guayra sold at a decline of 2s to 4s; good ordinary rather colory went at 2656 d to 275, fine ordinary 275, fine fine ordinary 28s to 32s Gd. TEA. A favourable opinion is still entertained towards all kinds of Congou; sales to a fair extent have been made this week, and at rather better prices. Of inferior sorts supplies are less plentiful, and of fine blackish leaf the stuck is small ; good ordinary clean went at 8d to 8 td, better sorts 9d to Is 3d, gocid and fine blackish leaf and Pekoe kinds Is 4d to 2a 2d. For Green the market has a dull ap pearance, few parcels having been sold by private treaty, and for most sorts holders are willing to accept rather lower rates; there is also a greater supply. Of 3,174 packages offered at auction, 1,000 sold; ordinary Canton Twankay went upon the low terms of 2,1 d to 3kd per lb. RICE.—To. day the market had a quiet appearance for all sorts. At public sale 1,264 bags. and 61 pkts Bengal went rather cheaper, and a part only sold; 1,707 bags Penang sold 6d lower. SPICES.—This afternoon at public sale 1,502 pockets 400 bags East India Ginger sold at steady rates. Mace is in better supply, and 18 cases went 2d cheaper.

SPlrtiTB.—The market for Leeward Island Rum has presented an inactive appearance all the week, and holders are inclined to make a concession in the value. Proof can be obtained at is 8d to is 9d per gallon. East India is held for is Sd to is 6d, few buyers are, how ever, to be met with. For Jamaica the demand is limited for exportation; all sorts have been dealt in with caution by exporters, whilst former rates cannot be obtained. De merara is offered upon lower terms, yet the sales made have been small. Havannah is dull of sale at is 5d proof. With all sorts of Rum the market is plentifully supplied, and export orders are unusually small for the time of year. Brandy is not much in demand. For Geneva there is a fair demand, and prices are firm. Corn Spirit is not cheaper. The market is quiet. OlLS.—Prices have ruled firm for Linseed 011 this week, there having been a brisk home demand, and several parcels were taken by exporters. For forward de livery the sales made have been of little moment, there are not sellers under 235. Rapeseed is not mach wanted, and a decline in the value is apparent. Cocoa NO must again be called cheaper, and the supply far exceeds the demand. Of 300 casks Ceylon offered at public sale a small part only • sold at 42s for fine quality. Further parcels of Palm have come to hand, and prices are de pressed from the limited demand. Lard Oil is only in limited request. With Fish Oils the market has been less plentifully supplied this week, and arrivals are of little moment. Other sorts are still dull of sale.

The Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Cork. It was reported that the defects in her machinery would net be completed before the 6th of July, but the Admi ratty ordered her peremptorily to Spithead, whether her defects were repaired or not; and if she could not steam she was to use her sails, which she did, and which she can do with facility under the able command of Captain Hall, who deserves a better fate than the drudgery of this beast of a steamer, miscalled a frigate. She is now ordered to have her defects made good with as much dispatch as possible, and is placed under the command in chief of Sir C. Napier. Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., does not proceed to sea with the squadron. Ile commissions the Birkenhead (and takes his crew from the Blenheim) as the steam guardship of the ordinary, and will continue his duties in looking after the reserve steam squadron. .MEN•OF-WAR SCREW STEAM-VESSELS.—WO are glad to find that we are at length usefully advancing, instead of retrograding in the experiments which are daily being made in the application of screw machinery to vessels of war. The progress has been of late, as it ought to be, a gradual deveopment of the excellence of a novel power of propulsion, and what has been attempted step by step has been secured, and will form an invaluable data for workin g out the same perfection in s e rene steaming as has been attained in the nse of the paddle. wheel. This must be a source of congratulation to all who have of late years been accustomed to see so many hundreds of thousands of the public money thrown away on useless and absurd unscientific ex periments. We have at last some satisfaction in expen diture—some encouragement from the past to hope for the future. We have emereed from gross and expensive blundering and conceited empiricism into something like a clear and defined course, pursuing which carefully, steadily, and economically, supported by sound theory, guided by practice and warned by experience, we may justly anticipate results of an important and valuabl. character. It is impossible to estimate too highly what was commenced in the Amphion, now at Spithead; to this vessel was applied the first great scheme of auxiliary propulsion by means of the screw—the ship, it being remembered, not at all adapted for the purposes fair which she was appropriated, but selected to try 300- horse power screw machinery on Count Rosen's prin ciple. The pains which have been taken by various par ties to work out the knotty problem of success in this vessel are beyond all pecuniary reward or even appreciation, es especially when it is known that the prejudices of naval officers, as well as engineers, who certainly ought to have known better, or to have been more liberal, were perhaps more difficult to be allayed or dissipated than even the working of the machinery itself. To the honour and credit of Mr. Miller, however, the senior of the firm of Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., who manufactured and matured the engines, and who, although in very bad health, did not hesitate to endure all the miseries of an ill-conditioned man-of war to superintend the experi ments on board the Amphion, to Mr. F. P. Smith, the projector of the screw propeller; and last, but not least, to Mr. Dinnen, inspector of steam machinery afloat, and who established the success of the experiments, the ever lasting gratitude of the scientific world, and the thanks of the Government are most justly due. They were the pioneers in this great work, and the Ana phion is the ship that has laid the foundation for that mighty success which is shadowed forth in the working of the Encounter, sloop, the second large ship which has been tried with advantage and credit. In our former notices of the Encounter we have stated that she was designed by Mr. Fincham, of Portsmouth dockyard. She is 895 tons, and has engines of 360 horse-power. by Messrs. Pen and Co., and yesterday we spoke of the compactness of the machinery, and the rate of her speed on the passage to Portsmouth from Wool wich. This vessel is indeed a wonderful instance of what has been accomplished in the improvement of both vessel and engines. She was tried several times on the river with the most gratifying results. On the last trial in the river, immersed with weights equal to her stores and armament, she attained an average speed of 11 knots, the engines having cylinders 60 inches diameter, with a stroke of 2 feet 3 in., making 78 revolutions, with a screw 12 feet 6 in. in diameter, and 16 feet pitch; and this speed with another and better adapted screw, she has maintained within half a knot on a sea passage, the ship too having comparatively, for a steamer, a bluff bow, as is necessary for men of war to possess. A third large ship is now about to come into the field of experiment, and this vessel is the frigate Dauntless. She was built by the same naval architect (Fincham), but that extreme portion of her stern in which the pro peller is placed, instead of being finely shaped away as that of the Encounter, is square, and thus in her case it is proved beyond question that with a square truck, although with lines generally good and well adapted for a screw-steamer, she cannot attain that speed which the Encounter with a finer run has acquired ; for although the Dauntless has engines of 580 horse-power to 1,496 tons, or 1 to 2.55, the highest mean rate of speed on trial was not beyond 7 knots. We have accounted for the difference between this vessel and the Encounter to some extent ; but it will be a subject of inquiry whether or not the description of engine has not likewise some thing to do with the results. We may repeat, however, with this short notice of screw-steam-vessels, that we seem at length to be pro gressing in a satisfactory manner, and to acquire grounds for continuing our experiments to the attainment of that perfection in steam machinery for vessels adapted for war purposes, which it is so desirable for this country to possess. The Rey nard, screw schooner, is not yet commissioned by Commander Cracroft. Her engines, we hear, are fitted with much compactness by Messrs. Rennie, whilst many improvements suggested by Mr. Humphries, the superintendent of their factory, have added much to her completeness. By an ingenious contrivance of Mr. Humphries, the screw propeller is lifted out of its posi tion with the greatest facility at the will of the engineer in the engine•room. On trial, yesterday, the time oc cupied in lifting the screw rudder three feet out of the water was 2i minutes, and on one occasion 1 minute. JULY 1, 1848. The engine was stopped and disconnected, and the screw was lifted out of the water in the space of five minutes; and it was lowered, the engines connected, and the machinery in motion again in an equally short space. The vibration, it is reported, is not perceptible, and the chimney can be lowered and berthed in five minutes. APPOINTMENTS.

COAST GUARD.—Messn.Revoire, Maingay, and John Harrison, have been appointed chief officers. The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Charles Hope, was paid off at Sheerness yesterday. She is ordered to be taken in hand immediately, to have her defects repaired and to be fitted as an advanced ship. The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, is at Spithead, all ready for sea. Mr. Southern, the minister for Rio, was expected last evening, and the Hastings will sail to-day, provided the wind moderates or changes. She is most awfully crowded with stores and supernumeraries. She touches at Madeira on her way to Rio and Singapore. The Vindictive, 50, at Portsmouth, has had her masts taken out, and when there is a dock vacant she will be taken in, examined, and prepared as an advanced ship. Her sails, rigging, stores, and armament are to be pro- vided, and kept ready for her. The Southampton, 50, at Chatham, is completed, and has been put out of dock. She is expected to be put in commission about the 15th July. The Ranger, 8, Commander Newland, was mustered, and inspected, and paid advance, at Devonport yester day, by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Sir J. Louis; and to-day, on the arrival of the mails, will proceed to Ascension, calling at Madeira, Porto Grande, and Sierra Leone. The Crane, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander Parsons, arrived at Devonport on Thursday morning, from Falmouth, to be refitted. The Spy brigantine, paid off at Chatham on Saturday, has been taken into dock to have her defects made good, and to be fitted forthwith for service on the coast of Africa. The Tortoise lighter which sailed on Tuesday from Devonport for Pembroke, put back on the following day, as, in consequence of a strong head wind, she could not get down Channel. The Medusa, 3, steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Bathurst, is to leave Portsmouth, on Monday, for Malta, calling at Gibraltar. The Merlin, 3, steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Turner, at Portsmouth, is not to proceed at once to the Mediterranean. She is to proceed on the Monday to Lisbon, and there wait further orders from the Ad miralty. • Po RTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, FIVE P.M.—The weather still continues squally and unsettled, with a strong breeze from the westward, which still detains a number of vessels at Spithead, St. Helen's, and the Motherbank.— Herald. THE SCREW PROPELLER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sia,—An allusion having been made in your columns yesterday, under the head of " War Steamers," to my experiments on the lake in the Regent's Park with a variety of propellers on the screw principle, I beg to ob serve that they are correctly stated—namely, " Speed of model, with a propeller placed in the dead wood, as it is applied to her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy, 40 feet in 21 seconds ; speed with two propellers, one under each quarter, wick a single vane on each propeller instead of two, 40 feet in l 3 seconds." The plan has since been submitted to the Admiralty, and at present I am corresponding with their Lordships respecting it ; afterwards it is my intention to place the model in the Polytechnic Institution, that any person who takes an interest in such things may have an oppor tunity of seeing the experiments tried. The novelty of the plan consists in using two pro pellers, one under each quarter, with a junction to the shaft outside, where the universal joint was applied to the pinnace of the Geyser. The propellers can be detached altogether, and car ried on the quarters, leaving the vessel with very little impediment to her ailing, and without cutting away the dead wood. From the shafts passing outside the frame of the ves sel there is more room left for the stowage of the after hold than with the dead wood propeller. From the power bring transmitted equally on both sides of the vessel there is less vibration. From there being two propellers, one can be used if the other gets damaged. From the propellers being made towards the centre of the vessel they are more effective in a heavy sea when she is pitching. From the simple arrangement of detaching and raising the propellers out of the water they are very handy for sailing ships as an auxiliary to the sails. With these observations I must leave the subject till the model is placed in tho Polytechnic Institution. I am. Sir, your obedient servant, E. A. CARPENTER, Captain R.N. Leamington, Juno 30. REGULATIONS FOR THE ENTRY OF SEAMEN RIGGERS. Some months since we announced that a plan was being matured by a member of the Admiralty, under the sanction of the Board, for accumulating a reserve of seamen in our principal dockyards, to be usefully em• ployed until their services should be required at sea; but only to be available for manning ships wanted suddenly, or to fill up the complements of the experimental squadrons during their few months' exercise in the summer. The plan has at length been approved of and circulated; and so far as we have had an opportunity of hearing, we believe that it has met with a very grateful reception by the class for whose benefit it is intended, as well as to provide for any emergency that may arrive. The following regulations have been proposed:— _ . Admiralty, May 28. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having taken into their consideration a proposal for the exten sion of extra seamen-riggers into her Majesty's dock yards, for the purpose and with the view of forming a reserve of seamen at such ports, have been pleased to issue the following regulations on the subject-- 1. The seamen who enter as seamen riggers must have served for a period of not less than six years in her Majesty's service with the ratings of ordinary, and A. 8., and must produce certificates of good conduct and ability, from the captain of the ship in which they last served. They will be entered subject to the express condition of being called upon to serve in any of her Majesty's ships, should any sudden emergency require their services ; but it is not intended that the comple ments of her Majesty's ships proceeding to foreign sta tions shall be filled up from such men, but only such ships as may be required to be suddenly manned or fitted for the home stations, or to aid in the navigation of ships from one port to another, or in duties connected with the home ports, or to complete the complements of the experimental squadron during a few months' cruise. 2. For every 25 seamen there shall be entered one petty officer ; the pay of such petty officer to be 3s. 6d. per day. All A.
