All parts of these embra sures are made of the same solidity as the rest of the broadside—viz., 7-in. iron and 9-in teak, only the side of this battery looking on to the deck is of 6in. iron, and this is crenelated for musketry, as in the case of the rear of the forecastle battery. All the hatches are closed with iron gratings, and in place of a centre tower for the captain and officers manag ing on the deck, there are two, one one each side of the ship, which, like massive iron sentry-boxes, project from the port and starboard bulwarks. This vessel is to be propelled within twin screws, each of four blades, placed far below the water line and well under the counter. Each screw is worked by an in dependent set of engines, each of 350 horse power, nominal, so that when steaming full power her fine lines and small midships' section will, it is confidently expected, insure her a rate of 15 knots an hour. With such a speed, such a defensive coat, and such an offensive armament, it is likely to be some time before this new Italian ship will find a rival equal to her in the Mediterranean, to any part of which she carries coal enough to steam at full speed. Her in ternal arrangements with regard to water tight com partments, &c., will be very similar to those of all other armour ships, though it is undecided whether she may not differ importantly in having a few loop holes for musketry drilled in her broadsides. The destructive powers of her beak, too, are to be fur ther utilised by an apparatus which will project tor pedoes more than 50ft, beyond the long spur under water, and by a very simple application of water power the beak itself is made to assist materially in turning the ship rapidly as on a pivot. Altogether, the design of the new vessel reflects high credit on Captain Albini, and when launched she will prove a most effective addition to what soon promises to be the formidable iron navy of King Victor Emmanuel. CHRISTIAN'S MISTAKE , By the Author of •"John Halifax, Gentleman." Few of the European iron navies of the future have quietly made greater - progress towards the establishment of an imposing maritime force than that of the young kingdom of Italy. Without waiting till either England, 'France, or America has attained to the perfect ideal of what such ships should be, the Italian naval administration has simply contented itself with ordering ships wher ever any original principle in construction was developed which promised, in theory at least, to be better than others. Thus, at the close of the pre sent year Italy will possess no fewer than 14 iron clad frigates, a force which cannot fail to add enor mous weight to her pretensions as a naval p l ower in the Mediterranean. Of these vessels six Save been built in France, two in Atierica, one is now nearly finished and another is to be built in England, and four have been almost completed in Italy. With a navy drawn from such varied sources, it naturally follows that nearly all differ much as to size, plating, steam-power, and armament, though, as a rule, the general principles of high speed, great defensive strength, and a few guns of the heaviest calibre have as much as possible been adhered to. Those built in France have the French defects of a week inner framing, but possess all the advantages which are undoubtedly due to the fastening of the armour-plates with what are termed " wood screws." These screws are now almost universally used in the iron vessels of foreign Powers, and beyond a doubt this method of fastening 44 superior to our method of securing the armour with screw bolts. The two ironclads built in America are the largest belonging to the Italian navy, and the worst—worst as to speed, worst as to strength and finish, and worst as to seaworthiness. Our readers may recollect the very•narrow escape which the first of these two ves sels, the King of Italy, had of foundering in the Atlantic, and, indeed, for some time she was sup posed to have gone down. Strange as it may seem, however, it is nevertheless strictly true that all the important parts of these two vessels, such as the armour, all the heavy forgings, anchors, cables, &c., were ordered, made, and tested in France and England before. being sent to America, and 'that all that Italy has derived from this unwise contract is the privilege of pay ing an advance of almost cent. per cent. in price on European goods badly made up after the fashion of American Monitors. F. om the Times, Feb. 4.—" A more charining story to our taste has rarely Leen written. Within the compass of a single volume the writer has hit off a circle of varied characters, all true to nature, and she has entatigleci them in a story which keeps us in suspense till its knot is happily an , gracefully resolved. Even if tried by the standard of the Archbishop of York, w. sh uld expect that even he would pronounce Christian's Mistatte' a novel without a fault." Hurst and BlaAett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

OTE.—" A more agreeable means of passing a winter afternoon can hardly be imagined than is nowprovided every Saturday at the Crystal Pal ce."—Vide Newspapers. The vessel building in England at the Millwall works, and now nearly finished, is very far from being regarded here as a specimen of what a good ironclad should be; but all her merits and defects are due entirely to her Italian designers, and all that is done in this country is to give the best work pos sible for the specification. This ship is the Affron datore, or the Sinker, and, as her name implies, she is a " ram," though only in a very subdued degree, having a small and blunted submarine beak. Herlength depth s p 2 th 9s 2 f . f t over all, her breadth ex treme,4O and tonnage in builder's measur ement about 2,500. She i s t o have a s i ng l e two-bladed screw with engines of 700-horse power, f t. , nominal. With such power, and a small midships' section, in comparison with length, the speed of the Sinker is guaranteed at not less than 15 knots, a rate of steaming at which she could use her beak with fearful effect if it were better designed for offence. This portion of the vessel, however, only projects Bft. - beyond the bows, and is, besides, of such weight in proportion to its displacement that it acts rather as a check upon her progress than otherwise. She is coated from end to end, and to a depth of 5 feet below the water line, with 4fin. armour-plate rest ing on a 9in. teak backing and a fin. inner skin of iron. Longitudinal stringers of wrought iron two feet apart are placed between the teak beams, with their edges abutting on the plates to keep them up to their work. Inside all these defences and within the inner skin come the framing ribs, which are of wrought iron 12in. deep and only 18in. apart. Like most of our ironclads, she has no outer keel, but bilge plates instead, and, unlike all other ironclads, in the world, she has a ponderous upper deck, 2in. thick, which is being laid on in two distinct plates of tin. each. This vessel is intended for two 600- pounders, placed in cupolas amidships—one forward and one aft. The cupolas are to be plain cylinders, grated at the top, and worked from the main deck below with the usual machinery. Their plating will be siin. of iron, with 6in. of teak backing. This ship, though much inferior to the average of our English ironclads, must by no means be taken as a standard of what the new Italian navy is likely to be, as it is, in fact, very much behind the vessels which the Italians themselves have lately designed. One of these improved Rs, desi w ith models and „ specifi cations, by Captain Albini, of the Italian navy, is just now being forwarded to the Italian Government, and after their formal approval the vessel, we believe, will be at once commenced in this country. It is not speaking too highly of this proposed frigate to say that, judged even by the superlative standard of our own Warriors, she will still be a model vessel and one of the most formidable afloat, no matter whether opposed to two-deckers, like the Solferino and Magenta, to American Monitors, like the Dic tator, or to the so-called invulnerable ships of our own navy—those from the cupolas of which such tremendous results are still expected. No name has yet been chosen for this intended craft, though if ever one deserved the terrible appellation of the " Sinker" it would be this, as in defensive strength, offensive armament, and high speed there will be nothing in the Mediterranean to compare with it. The length of this ship between the perpendicu lars is 280 ft. ; breadth, 43ft. ; depth, 25ft., with a burden according to builders' measurement of about 2,500 tons. The external appearance of the ship is only that of a light steam corvette, with three small masts and one funnel, with a poop-deck and a high topgallant forecastle. Under water, however, she is fitted with one of the most formid able beaks that a vessel ever went to sea with. It is made of enormous strength and projects no less than 48ft. under water in advance of the apparent bow. Notwithstanding its strength the displace ment of this submarine prow is so great that it acts like an air-tight caisson and gives immensebuoyancy to the fore part of the vessel, where it is most needed. This ship is to be coated from end to end and to a depth of sft. below the water-line with armour plates of no less than 7in. thickness, backed with 2in. of teak and lined with an inner skin half-an inch thick, which abuts upon the massive wrought ing of the ribs. No vessel y e t b u ilt e ither or America carries such a cas i ng o f s o lid ironirinonEurope framasthis. The armament is to be all on the upper deck, and will consist of one 606-pounder forward and three 6 00- po unders aft. The plan for fighting h i s admirable. The high top ga llant fore castleese guns 'we have spoken of is simply a large semicir culart shield of iron Bft. high, and of the same enor mous solidity as the sides of the vessel. This in its rear towards the foremast is closed in by a 6-inch screen of iron, loopholed for musketry, and with one small port through which a field-piece can fire and sweep the decks in case of an enemy boarding. This forecastle is roofed . in with inch iron, and in it is placed exactly amidships one 600-pounder, which works on a pivot, so that without its weight being shifted from the centre of the vessel it can fire from three ports, either straight ahead or on either bow, may require. In the as after exi poop ge w n e cies of have t s h p e ok c e a n se of, and just abaft the mizenmast, is the main battery, which, though at present only designed to carry two 600-pounders, will no doubt be increased to three guns of this calibre. These guns, like that in the bows, are placed'amid.shiPs, and will work on pivots, so as to fire, according as they may be wanted, out of the broadside ports Al Other side. To enable the muzzles of these guns to clear the port sills without shifting the ordnance from the centre of the vessel, the ports themselves are " recessed," or indented in I the side of the &lip, precisely like the embrasures in - '44se , . . 4 • 1 , - ;"‘ 4 1 - 4 -- 411 AN t T . 1!%, , * - ET` ay to- -0 \ - - 4 4, ' ; IA- I :re' I DRO IT. ..\`" I _/X.2 PRICE 4d STAMPED sd, subject, said he thought the Court ought to pause before they committed the corporation to an expensive and which might prove to be a perfectly unnecessary parliamentary litigation. A committee had already been obtained by Lord Robert Montagu to consider the subject, and, with a dissolution before them, he did not think the Parliament was likely to adopt the plan prepared by the Metropolitan Board of Works, or any other, at the present moment. He did not agree with those who thought that the sewage was worth so many millions as had been represented, but still the ques tiion was no doubt one of very great importance to the pub lic, and as a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works he could state that it was their most anxious desire, now that the main drainage works of the metropolis were nearly completed, to adopt the best plan for utilising the sewage, and to benefit the ratepayers. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which the COMMON SER.TEANT, who was appealed to, said he had no doubt that while the subject was under the consideration of a select committee of the House of Commons, the Essex Reclamation Scheme would be postponed. The motion of Mr. Lawley was then agreed to. _ Mr. T. PARKER, the Chairman of the Law and Parlia mentary Committee, brought up a report having reference to the projected new law courts, and he congratulated the Corporation that the Government had consented to the in troduction of a clause which would tend to preserve the right of the City to try causes within their own jurisdiction as heretofore. He also brought up a report recommending that the committee should be empowered to oppose the bill at present before Parliament for the Abolition of Brokers' Bonds and Rents. Both reports were agreed to. THE DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. An application was made from the Secretary to the Dub lin International Exhibition, praying the Court would allow certain pictures and other works of art, belonging to the Corporation, to be placed in the Exhibition. The application was referred to the City Lands Commit tee, and the Court shortly afterwards adjourned. Railway and other Companies. LONDON AND BLACKWALL, The.directors of this company state in their report that the gross revenue for the half-year ending Dec. 31, with a balance of £362 for the previous account, amounted to £70,131, and the expenditure to £23,126, leaving a net profit of £47,005, from which the interest on debentures, amount ing to X 10,055 had to be deducted, leaving £36,952 available for dividend. With this balance the directors were enabled to provide for the dividend on the preference stock, amount ing to £5,626, and to recommend the payment of a dividend on the ordinary stock at the rate of £4 2s. 6d. per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of .£1,233 to the credit of the current half-year. The dividendfor the year 1864 amounted to £3 17s. 6d. per cent., as compared with £3 15s. per cent. in 1863. The amount of capital expended during the past half-year had been £11,228, making the total expenditure £2,168,261. The total receipts amounted to £2,165,656, leaving a debit balance of £2,606. With regard to a pro posal for leasing the company's railway to the Great Eastern Railway Company, the report states that arrange ments have been made with the Great Eastern Railway direc tors that, subject to the approval of the preprietors the Great Eastern Railway company should take a lease of the under taking for the term of 999 years, at the net annual rent of £4 10s. per cent on the capital stock of the company, with out any deduction whatever, excepting for property or in come-tax. In pursuance of those arrangements a bill had been introduced in Parliament to enable the company to grant, and the Great Eastern Company to accept, a lease of the London and Blackwall Railway on the above terms. Acting in concert with the Great Eastern Railway Com pany the directors had renewed their application to Parlia ment for powers to construct a railway in the Isle of Dogs. During the past ten years the rate of dividend on the ordi nary stock of this company was as follows :—ln the year 1855, £2 14s. 10d. ; in 1856, £2 17s. ; in 1857, £2 14s. 10d. ; in 1858, £2 18s. 6d. ; in 1859, £3 7s. 6d. ; in 1860, £3 10s. ; in 1861, £3 2s. 6d.; in 1862, £3 lls 5d ; in 1863, £3 15s ; and in 1864, £3 17s. 6d. per cent.

STANFORD -AIITH, secretary. A CASE OF DISPUTED IDENTITY.--A remarkable case was part heard at the Manchester Court of Record on Monday. It was an action to recover £5O damages for the wrongful seizure of the plaintiff's goods and the loss occasioned by the discredit thereby brought upon his name. The parties to the suit were Joseph Moore and Whitehead. Mr. Higgin said the only fact in dispute was that which related to the identity of the plaintiff, who was quite certain that he was Joseph Moore ; whereas the defendant persisted in asserting, and still believed him to be, ono Richard Vaughan, against whom proceedings had been taken in the Salford County Court, and judg ment obtained for £l. About six years' ago the plaintiff occupied a small shop belonging to the defendant. He afterwards quitted the shop, having previously paid all the rent and taxes due, and ultimately went to live in a house near Strangeways. He was followed in the occupa tion of the shop before referred to by the mysterious Richard Vaughan ; but the defendant persisted in asserting, and still believed, that plaintiff had never left the shop at all, and that he was the veritable Richard Vaughan, and not Joseph Moore. Some time in the month of October, 1863, the defendant called upon the plaintiff, and made a demand upon him for gas rent. His wife said her husband did not owe any, and that all liabilities due when they left the house had been discharged. The defendant obtained a summons from the Salford County Court, addressed to Richard Vaughan, and it was served on the plaintiff. Mrs. Moore attended the court, and assured the judge that her husband's name was Joseph Moore and not Richard Vaughan, and that he was not indebted. The judge thereupon referred the matter to Mr. Stevenson, the high bailiff of the court, who, after making inquiries, issued two summonses, one against Richard Vaughan and the other against Joseph Moore ; but Vaughan did not turn up, and eventually judgment, was issued against theplaintiff. The defendant then sued for an execution, and accom panied the officers who were to levy the distraint. Mrs. Moore satisfied the officials that her husband was really Joseph Moore, but the defendant in sisted that he was Richard Vaughan, and urged the bailiffs to distrain. The plaintiff's goods were accordingly seized, and he was obliged to pay the claim to prevent his furniture being sold in execution. He had been damaged in his business, had lost all his lodgers, who were of a good class, and was hooted after by children in the streets as " the man who had the bum-bailiffs in his house." Mr. Leresche said his client still believed the plaintiff to be Richard Vaughan. Beth the learned counsel subsequently agreed to take a nominal verdict for £5O, subject to argu ment before his honour on a special case upon the points of law which would be raised. The Court accordingly direct e d the jury to return a verdict for t he plaintiff for 450.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall ; the Lord Mayor presided. THE CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Mr. MEDwIN, upon the question that the Commission of Sewers be sealed, said he felt it his duty to protest against the commission as at present constituted, and expressed his opinion that it was an anomalous body, and that every one of the representatives in the Court of Common Council ought to be a member of the Commission of Sewers, and that until this was done their proceedings would not be satisfactory to the citizens. (Hear, hear.) At present, he said, however, all that he proposed to do was to protest against the sealing of the commission, and at some future day he should again endeavour, as he had done already, to obtain a reconstitution of the commission. Mr. DE JERSEY, the chairman of the commission, replied with some warmth to the observations that were made by Mr. Medwin, and said he felt satisfied that if the sugges tion made by Mr. Medwin, that every member of this Court should be upon the Commission of Sewers, was car ried out, it would be found to be utterly impracticable in its operation, and, the important matters they had to deal with would be thrown into inextricable confusion( The motion for signing the commission was then put, and agreed to almost unanimously. THE LATE BURGLARY IN CORNHILL. Deputy Pity asked the Lord Mayor whether he could in foim the Court if there was to be any inquiry in reference to the conduct of the police in connection with the exten sive robbery committed a few days back in Cornhill ? The LORD MAYOR said that he could inform the Court that a committee of aldermen had been specially convened for the purpose of considering the subject alluded to by the hon. deputy. (Ilear, hear.) THE IRISH SOCIETY. Mr. Alderman RosE, M.P., was re-appointed Governor of the Irish Society, and Mr. Deputy Burnell was proposed to fill the office of Deputy-Governor. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said before the latter motion was car ried he should be glad to be informed whether a rumour that the Irish Society intended to have the assistance of six former members in their deliberations, in addition to the number of members of which the society was legally com posed, was correct. Deputy BURNELL intimated that the society intended to obtain such assistance, but stated at the same time that they would only be empowered to assist in the deliberations of the court, and would not have the right of voting. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR expressed his opinion that such a course of proceeding, if not absolutely illegal according to the terms of the charter under which the Irish Societywas incorporated, was at all events unnecessary and unjustifiable, and he con tended that the Irish Society ought to be quite competent to manage the affairs intrusted to them, without calling in the aid of any of the former members. It appeared to him that the course -proposed to be taken might be productive of much mischief to the interests of the Corporation, and he concluded by moving as an amendment, that Mr. Burnell be appointed the deputy-chairman of the Irish Society, but that it be an instruction of this Court to the society, that no alterations should be made in its constitution until such alteration should have been first submitted to and approved of by the Court. This led to some discussion, but eventually the amend ment was put and carried by a large majority. THE GAS QUESTION IN THE CITY. Deputy C. REED presented a petition from the inhabi tants of the Ward of Farringdon, complaining of the opera tion of the Gas Act of 1860, and the bad quality and dear ness of the gas supplied to the City by the different com panies, and praying the Court to take some stepf to relieve them. Mr. J. LUSHER presented a similar petition from the in habitants of Farringdon Within. _ _ . Mr. J. H. HEEPS also presented a petition of the same nature from the ward of Bishopsgate. _ _ Deputy FARRER, in the absence of Alderman Gibbons, likewise presented a petition to the same effect from the in habitants of Castle Baynard Ward. A number of the petitioners were present, and several questions were put to them by members of the Court. Mr. ROWE asked how the petitioners came to the conclu sion that the gas was of bad quality. They replied, by the evidence of their eyes and noses. (Laughter.) Mr. ROWE inquired whether they had procured the ser vices of any scientific gentlemen to test the quality of the gas. They replied that they had not, and did not consider it necessary. The gas was most offensive in smell, and pos sessed no illuminating power. The LORD IVLIYOR observed that any one who passed through the streets of London at night, after the shops were closed, could easily see that there was something wrong in the lighting, without asking for the opinion of any scientific men. In answer to further questions put to the petitioners, they stated that they had observed a great pressure of at mospheric air in the pipes which acted upon the meter, so that they paid a great deal more for gas than formally, while the amount of light was much reduced.. They also expressed an opinion that one course to be pursued was to apply to Sir G. Grey, and endeavour to obtain a Parliamentary inquiry into the mode in which the gas companies carried on their business, and endeavour to ascertain the actual amount of capital that was employed, and which was made applicable to the minimum dividend of 10 per cent., and if they failed, to endeavour to take the question of supplying the city of London with gas into their own hands. (Hear, hear.) In answer to a question put by one member, the peti tioners stated that they did not attach the slightest impor tance to the reports that were periodically made upon the illuminating power of the gas. They also said they were in a position to inform the Court that in some of the subur ban parishes much better gas was supplied at 3s. Bd. per 1,000 feet than that furnished by the City companies at a great deal higher rate: The whole of the petitions were eventually referred to the General Purposes Committee for them to examine and report to the Court. UTILISATION OF THE SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Deputy OBBARD presented a petition from the ward of Farringdon Without praying that a select committee of the House of Commons might be appointed to inquire into the plan of Messrs. Hope and Napier adopted by the Metropo litan Board of Works, before that plan was carried out. The LORD MAYOR announced that he had received a copy of a resolution agreed to at a large public meeting at Wool wich, disapproving of the plan adopted by the Metropolitan Board of Works for utilising the sewage of the metropolis, and at the same time expressing strong approval of the course that had been taken by the City of London in en deavouring to obtain delay, in order that so important a subject might be considered carefully, before any plan was finally adopted. The petition was-referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee. Mr. LAWLEY then brought up a report from the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee upon the same subject. The report recommended that an endeavour should be made to obtain a select committee of the House of Commons, for the purpose of having all the plans for utilising the sewage of tho metro polis carefully considered, and that the committee should be empowered to oppose the Sewage and Essex Reclamation i Bill, supported by the Metropolitan Boar d of Works, which was now before Parliament He said that as the report had been printed, and a copy sent to every member of Court he should merely move that it be agreed to. Ur. H. L. TAYLOR, while vichnittipg the importance of the MID-KENT. The report of the directors states that they hoped to have the satisfaction of announcing the immediate completion of the purchase of the line by the South-Eastern Company. They regret, however, that in consequence of the South- Eastern Company having laid claim—as the directors con sidered most unjustly—to some surplus lands on the Addis combe extension, there was still likely to be some further delay. The matter had been referred to arbitration, and, subject to its being settled, the South-Eastern Company had intimated their intention of paying the purchase-money on or before the Ist of May. The disposable balance of £2,630 would allow of the usual dividend of 6- per cent per annum, leaving a balance of about £3O to be carried forward. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO. The report of the directors states that on the completion of the sale of a house to the Chatham and Dover Company. which was daily expected, the company would be enabled to close their capital account, carrying to its credit two sums—viz., £5,040 and £7OO. The directors proposed to hold the general meetings of the company for the future in the months of January and July, instead of in February and August, so as to enable the earlier payment of the preference and ordinary dividends. The revenue account showed a. balance of £8,339, out of which' the directors re commended a dividend at the rate of 5} per cent. per an num for the past half-year. SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN). The directors of this company state in their report that the satisfactory report of Mr. Brunlees on the state of the works confirmed them in their previously announced opinion that the railway would be completed before the time specified in their contract with Messrs. Sharpe. The directors had con tinued, through their superintendent at Brazil, to urge on the provincial authorities the important question of roads in connexion with the railway, and they had now reason to believe that the President was fully alive to its import ance, and that he would unavoidably bring it before the Le gislative Assembly for their consideration. The entire amount of the share capital having been called up, arrange ments were in negotiation with the Imperial Government for the purpose of raising the additional amount of guaran teed capital which would be required to place the interest paid, and to be paid, until the final completion of the line. The relations of the directors with the Imperial and local authorities continued to be of the most satisfactory charac ter. Mr. Brunlees, the chief engineer, stated in his report that during the past six months the weather had been un favourable to the contractors ; but notwithstanding this, they had made great progress with the works, and it gave him great pleasure to add that they were using every en deavour to bring the contract to a successful and speedy termination. The capital account showed that £1,969,327 had been expended. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending Jan. 21 amounted, for local passengers, to £4,282, for foreign passengers to £572, for mails, &c., to £642, for local freight and live stock to £12,362, and for foreign freight and live stock to £3,343 ; total, £21,201, against £20,976, showing an increase of £225.

Her Majesty's steam storeship Fox, Commander Moriarty, laden with returned stores from Malta, having unshipped combustibles at the floating maga zine, off the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, yesterday went up to the dockyard to discharge the remainder of her cargo. Four 55cwt. anchors, intended for her Majesty's new iron-cased screw corvette Pallas, manufactured by the Northfield Iron and Steel Company at Rother ham, under the patent of Capt. Rodger, R.N., were yesterday tested at Woolwich. The strain in each case was worked up to 68 1-16 tons, and was similarly applied to each arm of the anchor, in com pliance with the request of Capt. Rodger, who was present. The proof was thus 50 per cent. in excess of that established by the Admiralty regulation. Nevertheless, the deflection and permanent set were scarcely perceptible, being found, on examination and measurement, to be merely 1-16th of an inch. The Pallas, under construction in Woolwich yard, will be launched on the 14th proximo. Twelve other anchors supplied by the same firm, and also of Capt. Rodger's short-arm principle, under the orders of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Royal Navy, will be tested at Woolwich shortly for her Majesty's ships Lord Clyde, Bellerophon, and Lord Warden. These anchors will be of 70 cwt each. The Edgar, 71, screw, Capt. G. P. Hornby, was docked yesterday at Portsmouth, in preparation for her voyage to Lisbon. Admiral Edham Pasha and the officers of the Im perial Ottoman squadron now at Portsmouth, were entertained last evening by Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., Port Admiral and Naval Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, at a ball at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth-dockyard. Thelmperial Ottoman frigate Ertogroal, 50 guns, Capt. Hassan Bey, recently fitted with her machin ery in the Thames, under the inspection of the officers of the English Admiralty, made her official trial of speed yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes's Bay, near Portsmouth, which was attended with very successful results. The Admiralty In spector of Machinery and officers of Portsmouth dockyard and steam factory conducted the trial in precisely the same manner as the trials of Her Majesty's ships are carried out on such occasions. The Ertogroal drew 23ft. 9in. of water aft, and 22ft. 6in. forward, and was complete in stores and in all respects ready for sea. The wind varied from 4 to 5 in force during the time the ship was on the mile. Her mean speed with full boiler power was 12.037 knots, and at half-boiler power 10.191 knots. Her engines are of 600-horse power nominal, supplied by Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., of London. They worked exceedingly well throughout the trial, and gave entire satisfac faction to Admiral Edham Pasha, Capt. Hassan Bey, and the Turkish officers on board, and also to the English Government officials, by whom the trial was being conducted. At the close of the runs over the measured mile the Ertogroal anchored at Spit head, where she will be joined to-day by her con sorts, the Khudevendiciar and Kossova. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. TRURO. The Hon. Captain Vivian addressed the electors in the Town-hall on Tuesday evening, and gave an an exposition of his political principles. He said he was a consistent Reformer. He should like to see a moderate and progressive addition to the franchise, and would take his stand upon Mr. Baines's bill for a £6 borough franchise, as the best line which could at present be drawn. He should not like universal suffrage ; not that he was afraid of it, but that all sudden changes in the Constitution tended to pro duce social revolution and disorganisation. How ever, as far as he could see, the people did not at present seem to care about Parliamentary Reform, and he thought their whole attention ought to be directed to the economical administration of the affairs of the nation. He characterised the present Parliament as the most extravagant that ever sat, and considered that the military department had been managed with reckless extravagance, and condemned the large outlay u p on fortifications of stone, at a time when we are in a transition st ate as respects military science, and whe n eart hworks have been found, both in the Crimea_ _and in America, to be the most formidable defensive wpeerre th_e, French were ever our Englishmen was works.
