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 t , until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. Whon union does not take place, however, this passion, this fever, this golden tide of the manliest feelings beMmes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before brightened, all thims upon earth. We still love on. but disappointment acts like a canker- Worm, and gnaws at the root of every feeling on which we subsist. Of the eauses by which disappointment is superinduced, none ope rate more frequently than an inward consciousness that the will to enter the holy fans or 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 azainst 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 binding to an honourable mind? It is the effecCof 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 ends. The wretched condition of such a bring must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Lqving 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 unalloyed 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. LA.'MERT'S little work entitled F., SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the repro luctive organs ; with practical observa tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity.

"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 Repealers, 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 the mischief caused by our divisions. 'Tis this that has made Ireland d : wretched, neglected, and misgoverned province; it is the perfect union—a real love of country —that exists among the people, that has rendered Scot land a happy, prosperous, and respected country. But, in seeking to promote::: this so-much-required union among all classes, we should be careful not to adopt a lino of conduct, or profess principles, that would widen, not heal the breach that at present exists, and force 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 tnation of the proposed new society, without explanation and amendment of the rules, wouldacause 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, no mat ter bow 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 for the King of fools), or the brown barrels which, we are told in a late publication, are hidden in great numbers iu 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 th© 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 land, and, in fact, as full 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")—sre 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 a 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 all, and above all, the society and alt 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 :nth, 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 VI hole body, on a principle that I hope one day to see carried out on a larger ccale, 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 my native land, and the happinass 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 at their offices, No. 9, Austin-friars; Mr. Pratt in the 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 mouths. Ultimately this difficulty was i cmovtd, 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 male, and the only blast furnace now in operation is weekly producing 70 tons of ,iron. The ore produced seems to be an amalgam of iron, mercury, sulphur, and arsAiie, and during the last few months up wards of 5,000/. worth of mercury had been produced by distillation, and sold to the Spanish Government. The mines had, however, suffered a great interruption from the proceedings of the alealde 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, suspended 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 divide nd 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 a a m nd ou f n r t. om other sources about 17,0001. short of this To several inquiries, Mr. SCALES, one of the directors, replied that the iron produced in Spain was made at the rate of 31. 10a, 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. IlEmitia, one of the directors, who had made a scientific analysis of the ore, believed that it was worth , that having close upon 20,0001, 2 30 0 bt , Oso observations t a i o s much ns of mo fr.theBURTON, ore had d co a m l7 l a a d in y in b g ee o n f election of a member of the body of directors, been himself in acquaintedpersonallywas, necessary electthe S: property,hopelTTadi non-election dh. he havingwCHAIRMANa sconvincedbecome that some Spanish merchant to the boaFd..

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 calla' into Mr. Round's brick-yurd, a distance of upwards of one hundred yards. One man was killed, and, as far as vet 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. Romier, for the purpose of encouraging that body by instituting, it was believed, a club similar to the one in England. The project is one 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. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON.

BY SAMUEL LA'MEItT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. 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 re:mires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness. be raised, and its true source is every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; 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 consequence 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 an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions 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 acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequence% unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the 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, h e forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes et 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 his 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. LVMERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas Certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a anecontee for his professional experience, which has reference almost WA, to the treatment of these diseases.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar computed from the returns made in the week ending June 27, 1848, is 245. 11 1 A d. 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 preposition 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 hhols, &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 ewt. The total sales tor 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 o❑ offer is small, more especilly of sorts worth under 56s 6i per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale at former rates. MAURITIUS.—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 bags at public sale went ra- S • • 7 JULY 1, 1848. ther cheaper. Bengal met with little attention, and 3,109 bags barely realised former terms. 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 are made by home buyers, and our refiners working under bond are little in want of Sugar. MoLAssEs.—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 not upon an enlarged scale, and 110 bales, 861 bales at auction went at a further decline of is to 2s; mid• clang greenish clean sold at 45s to 465, pea bery 53s to 71s, sea damaged 42s to 60S, and triage 28s to 32s 6d. 01 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 26s 6d to 275, fine ordinary 275, fine fine ordinary 28s to 32s 6d. TEA. A favourabl9 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 lee' the stuck is small ; good ordinary clean went at 8d to Bid, better sorts 9d to Is 3d,. good , sad Ana blackish leaf and—Pekoe—kinds' Is 4d to 2s 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 24d to 3kd per lb. RICE.—To. day the market had a quiet appearance for all sorts. At public sale 1,294 bags and 61 pkts Benial 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. 01 Nutmegs 59 cases 6 boxes and 19 bags were offered, and went at a decline of Id to 2d. 10 cases Penang Cloves Is 4d to Is sd. 133 bags Sumatra Pepper Zed per lb. SPIRITS.—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 5d 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. Oils.—Prices have ruled firm for Linseed Oil 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 much wanted, and a decline in the value is apparent. Cocoa Nut 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. TALLow.,--This afternoon prices were barely sup ported for Tallow at the public sales: of South American 368 pkgs were chiefly sold at 40s 3d to 435, and very low 32s 6d to 32s 9d. 390 casks Australian 40s to 44s 6d, low 36s to 39s 6d. 157 casks Odessa in part sold at 42s 9d to 445, 90 casks Belgian 43s to 455, and 29 casks Italian 42s 6d to 445. [PRICE SD. 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.

She is ordered lita in hand immediately, to have her defects repairedind 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 moat 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. PORTSMOUTH, 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 DIoRNING HERALD. Sin,—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 13 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, tbat 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 imp( diment to her sailing, 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 being transmitted equally on both sides of the vessel there is less vibration. From there being two propellers, one can be used it the other gets damaged. From the propellers being made towards the centre of the ves,el 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 the Polytechnic Institution. I am. Sir, your obedient servant, E. A. CARPENTER, Captain R.N. Leamington, June 30. REGULATIONS FOR THE ENTRY OF SEAMEN RIGGERS. Some months since we announced that a plan vrns 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 au opportunity of hearing, we believe that it has met with a very grateful reception by th e 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 fur a period of not less than six years in her Maj, sty's service with the ratings of ordinary, and A. 13., 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 Maiesty'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' cruie. 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. B.'s who aro willing to enter under such con ditions shall have the pay of 2s. 6d. per day ; and the time of servitude of such petty officers and seamen shall be considered as sea time, and be allowed to count for pension. 3. All such seamen riggers shall be allowed to have the privilege of obtaining slop clothing from her Ma- , jesty's stores at the same price as that now charged to the seamen of the fleet, on demands made out by the master attendant, and approved by the rear-admiral superintendent of the dockyard, but not to a greater sum than 20s. per month, the same to be deducted from their weekly wages. their 4. If absent from the port to which they belong, weekly one half and families shall be allowed to draw such one half the pay duo to the seaman himse lf ; provided seaman obtains a certificate from the commandingoffi cer of the ship, which must be eount e r-signed by the man is em. master attendant of the dockyard , that such barked on service. 5. The seamen-riggers are to be under the directions of the master attendant of the dockyard, and shall per form all such duties in the yard as may be required. 6. On going o n board any of h er Majesty's ships, on service, they are to be e ntered es `• dockyard rigg ers on special they are so e m pl oye d , they shal service;" gl and, so long a 3 an ted the established allowance of pro • visions accoir hug to the regulations of the service, in ad dition to their pay as seamen-riggers; but this privilege is not to extend for a longer period than two months, w h en th e y will then he placed out the ship's hooks, ac cording to their respective ratings, and be paid accord ingly, when they may make out allotments according to the Admiralty instructions. 7. The period of servitude as a seaman-rigger shall not exceed eighteen months at any one time, but if they have been at sea during any time of such period, such sea time is to be granted over and above the eighteen months, at the end of which time they will be discharged. 8. During the time of servitude as seamen-riggers, they may volunteer for any of her Majesty's ships fitting out at any of her _Majesty's ports, and shall have the privilege of entry into the ordinary, on vacancies oc curring, or into the permanent riggers, or dockyard, or victualling craft. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Dragon, 6, steam-frigato, Captain W. 11. Hall, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Cork. It was reported that the defects in her machinery would net be completed before the Gth of July, but the Admi ralty 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 HAL who deserves a better fate than the drudgery of this beast of a steamer, miscalled a frigate. She is now ordered to have ker defects made good with as much dispatch as possible, and is placed under the commar:d in chief of S:r C. Napier. Captain Horatio Austin, C.D., does not proceed to sea with the squadron. lie 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 .or WAR SCREW STEAM VESSELS.—We are glad to find that we are at length usefully advancing, instead of retrograding in the expel intents which are daily ben.g, made in the application of screw machinery to vessels of war. The progress has been of late, as it ought to be, a gradual development 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 working out the same perfection in screw steaming as has been, a ttai ne d i n th e use o f t h e paddle wheel. This must he a source of congratulation to all who hare 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 hare at last some satisfaction in expen diture—some encouragement from the past to hope for the future. We have emerged 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 anti warned by experience, we may justly anticipate results of an important and valuable character. It is impossible to estimate too highly what was commenced in the Arrphion, 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 for which she was appropriated, but selected to try 300- horse power, screw m ac hi ner y on C oun t 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 b.d 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. Dinner', inspector of steam machinery affrat, 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 Am phion is the ship that has laid the foundation fur 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 tens, 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 ❑ecessary 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), i 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 2.58, the highest mean rate of speed On trial was not beyond 7i 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 uounds for continuing our experiments to the attainment of that perfection in steam machinery for vessels adapted for war purposes, which it is so desirable fur this country to possess. The Reynard, screw schooner, is not yet commissioned by Commander Cracroft. Her engines, wo 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 au 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 1k minute. Now ready, at all the Libraries, A NEW NOVEL. BY G. P.
